ASTOR GIVES HIS SONS MILLIONS

Deeds Of trust have been filed in
the registrars Office in New York city
on behalf Of William Waldorf Astor,
conveying all Of his real estate in New
York city, or elsewhere, to the Farm
ere Loan and Trust company as trus-
tee In trust for his two sons, Waldorf
Astor and Capt. John Jacob Astor.
No statement could be obtained
from Viscount Astor's lawyers as to
the cause of this big transfer, but it is
evidently in keeping with his policy to
escape a heavy Inheritance tax law,
which Is s per cent on beQuests over

Under the transfer in trust are
land and buildings valued at more than

WILL JUDGE LINDSEY GO TO JAIL?

Two hundred and fifty days, in Jail
for a principle. That is the penalty
that Judge Ben B. Lindsey, the IA
nous kids judge" of Denver, expects
to pay for holding inviolate the con-
hdence of small boy. The supreme
court of the state has ruled that he
must carry out the sentence. Judge
Lindsey has taken an appeal to the
United States Supreme court, but law
yers say there is no federal question
involved and they expect the Supreme
court TO deny jurisdiction.
The only alternative is the pay
ment Of fine of $500. Judge Lindsey
has fatty refused to pay this fine and
says that he will go to jail for life
rather than do so. He maintains that
in spite of his conviction he is not
guilty of contempt of court. Friends
have offered to pay the fine and costs
for him, and even the children have
oHered to raise the money.
The "kid" In the case is Neal

SENATOR KELLOGG'S LICENSING BILL

Senator Kellogg of Minnesota has
introduced a bill that has stirred m
much discussion. In presenting it Sena-
tor Kellogg said, among other things
"The bill requires all corporations
engaged in interstate commerce and
having a capital or assets of S1O,OOO-
900 or over to take out federal H.
cense. 1t further provides for a for
feiture Of the license If the corpora
tion shall enter into any contract, COM
bination, or conspiracy In restraint of
trade, or shall monopolize commerce,
or attempt to monopolize it. This
would give the federal trade commits
sion a supervisory Jurisdiction over
such corporations, and their license
would be subject to forfeiture If they
engage in a combination to raise or
fix prices, engage in unfair methods
of competition for the sake Of crushing
out their competitors, or any Of the
other abuses which have been in the
past commonly employed to monopo-

C. D. WALCOTT AND THE SMITHSONIAN

Charles d. WalCott, secretary of
the Smithsonian institution in Wash
ington, has issued an illustrated ac-
count of the field work of the last year
by its staff and collaboratOrS. The
Smithsonian was established by led
eral statute in 1916 under the terms
Of the will of James Smithson 1t6o-
1920, who bequeathed in 1876 the sum
of $540 900 to the United States Tor
the increase and diffusion of knoWi-
edge among men" Smithson was the
natural son of the duke of Northum-
berland and said that his bequest
would make his name better known
than his fathers. The income OF the
Smithsonian is now about Sloo,oOo
year.
One of the most important actlVl-
ties of the Smithsonian institution Is
the exploration of little-knoWn regions
of the world. Among the regions
visited by the % separate expeditions
are many states in this country. Chlie'

WILSON CHAMPION
OF AMERICAN RIGHTS
Declares Articles That Make
War improbable Over
looked by Critics.

indianapolis, Ind-President Wilson
told a crowd of several thousand here
Thursday that no one belived the
league of nations would make all wars
impossible, but that he expected it tC
make war improbable"
The economic and arbitration sec
tions of the covenant, he asserted
would keep war on the outskirts and
make it only a last resort.
Calling on opponents of the league
| to present a better program for
peace, President Wilson declared it is
a case of put up or shut up
Opponents of the league of nations,
he said had discussed only three out
Of twenty-siX articles Of the covenant.
The articles which would make war
improbable had been overlooked
The president said his speaking trip
| was partly to point out how "abso-
lutely ignorant" of the contents of the
covenant some of tho;e were who op-
posed the league.
Il am an American" he declared
and a champion of the rights which
America believes in"
At this the crowd cheered and there
was another outburst of cl eering when
he declared he had not the slightest
doubt" what the verdict of the people
would be.
AT present" he said, I'VE have TO
mind our own business, but under the
covenant Of the league We can mind
other peoples business"
There was not an oppressed people
anywhere, he said, that could not get
attention for its case under the league.
Referring to the Shantung settle
ment, the president pointed out that
Japan repeatedly had promised TO re-
turn the peninsula to China. He did
not go into the subject at length, how
ever, but mentioned it in emphasizing
that the covenant would refuse TO
recognize the validity of secret trea-
ties.
The president said he could look the
mothers of the country in the face
piouulS, UCCduSt lie Hat hcDI HIS plOlll-
Use to do all he could to prevent any
more war.
This league" he said, "is the only
conceivable arrangement which will
prevent our sending our men abroad
again very soon"
The president traced the incidents
from which the great war started,
saying the significant circumstance
was that Austria and Germany did |
not dare to discuss the demands made |
on Serbia. 1t generally was admitted |
abroad, he asserted, that if there had |
been any discussion there would have |
been no war.
This fact, he said, recalled that the
part of the league of nations cove
nant" containing the agreement not to
go to war for nine months after a con-
Lroversy became acute had not been
considered at all by those who criti-
else the league.
IF there had been nine days" the
president said, Germany would not
nave gone to war"

afraid they might. be late for the ex-

tiniest of the living models barely es-
capped being hugged by every woman
present.
