DEATH HOUSE TO
RECEIVE IN SHIFTS
IL Slayers to Greet Callers
Before Noon and IL After.

Warden Edward V. Brophy OF Sing
Sing Prison put into effect a new rule
in the death house yesterday which
will divide the visits so long as there
is such crowded house there. Here
tofore, a murderer awaiting execution
was allowed to have his immediate re-
latives or counsel visit him any time dur
ing the prisons so-called business hours.
As there are twenty-four murderers
there now, which is a record number.
Warden Brophy decided as a matter OF
safety, as well as for the good OF the
condemned men themselves, not to per-
nit too many callers there at one time.
Under the new rule twelve OF the
slayers will be obliged TO have their
callers in the morning hours and the
other twelve will have to receive during
the afternoon hours.
1T Is immaterial TO me- said Gordon
Fawcett Handy, Brooklyn bank robber
and slayer OF Dewitt Peal and Henry
Coons in the East Brooklyn Savings
Bank. when he was asked when he
preferred to have callers
Nobody calls on Handy. The majority
Of murderers prefer afternoon visits be-
cause relatives find It more convenient
to get to the prison then.

EMO HEIR BROKE:
PLEA WINS N $50
S2,0O0,000 Request Tied Up
by Litigation.

Henry Lane Emo of the educational
stan OF Princeton and heir to fortune
of approximately 100000 will have to
support himself and family for an in
definite period and pay his accrued debts
with the S47,550 awarded to him yesters
day on his application by Surrogate
Cohaian. The will OF his uncle, Henry
F. Emo, who died in october. 1915,
leaving an estate of Slo.000.000. is the
subject of litigation In the courts and
until the controversy Is settled Emo will
be unable to obtain his legacy.
Early In May tho Princeton teacher
petitloned the court for an award of
s5o,ooo with which to meet current ex-
penses and pay his outstanding debts
In his application he stated he received
no salary from Princeton and practically
was without means to provide during
the ensuing year the absolute necessit-
les to which he believed his wife and two
children were entitled.
Emo explained to the court how he
personally is responsible for the legal
tangle which prevents the distribution
of his uncle's estate. After his uncle's
death a will by which Emo was bene-
ffciary to the extent OF $4,000 was dis
covered and filed for probate. In this
Will the Two CnlluTen Oh tne pctitioitl
were heirs to the extent of i,25o,ooo
each.
Believing there was a later will Emo
contested the probation OF this instru-
ment and was upheld by Jury. While
an appeal was pending the later instru-
ment was found. BY Its provisions Emo
was heir to 100000 and his children
also amply were provided for. Tho
pending appeal on the earlier will held
up the probation of the second document.
In his petition to Surrogate Cohalan for
money with which to tide him over his
present financial difficulties Emo stated
It is an unfortunate fact that through
his action his children are now deprived
OF the income to which they rightfully
are entitled
Surrogate Cohalan in granting s47,b5o
makes no explanation Of his reason Tor
directing the administrators of the
Henry F. Emo estate TO pay that amount
to the petitioner instead of the 100000
which Emo sought.

the fasteners are exactly like
glove fasteners with self-cover-

underneath-snaps that stay on.
The seams are beautifully fin

Gripping Huns Will
Hamper British Trade
Associated Press

LONDON, April 17-It will be i'm
possible to cripple Germany without
to some extent crippling British trade
Charles S. Adds, a director of the
Bank of England, told the Institute
of Bakers recently. "To secure the
maximum indemnity for the mini
mum Of injury to the trade of the
country" he said, "it would be nee
essary to afford Germany free ac-
cess to raw material and freedom to
arrange her own mode to paying the
indemnity. This would be for mod
crate amount well within her taxable
capacity and on such terms as to keep
alive in the debtor the hope of re-
demption within reasonable time.
"a crippled Germany could not pay
a penal indemnity and to suppose that
in crippling a nation you thereby gain
a guarantee of continuous peace is
chimerical. The only guarantee Of
peace is that, having beaten the en-
emy, you should be ready to fight
him whenever he likes.
"The idea of Germany being able
to pay, under any circumstances, the
amount Of $120, 900, ,OO0, 900, at which
the expenditure of the Allies was es-
timated, should be dismissed as i'm.
