She Berated Wilson and
Her Will Is Declared OK
Family's Fight Oyer Mrs. Lucy J.
Wade's Estate Fails to
Move the T,,rv

The fact that Mrs Lucy johnson
Wade continually arraigncd President
wilson in conversations with members
of her family did not deter iurv in
the Surrogates' Court yesterday from
bringing in a verdict that she was Of
sound mind when she executed her
Will, which was attacked by relatives
on the ground that she was mentally
incompetent
Mrs. Wade, who was more than sew
enty years old at the time of her
death. was an aunt of the late Thomas
l.. johnson, former Mayor of Cleveland.
She left an estate valued at about
$150,000.
One of the contentious of The con-
testants, who were sister, niece and
nephew of Mrs. Wade, in support Of
their allegation that she did not pos
sess testamentary capacity. was her ar
raignment of President Wilson and his
Administration. Whenever she dis
cussed the President, they SAID sne
would work herself into a rage. and it
was with great difficulty that she was
calmed. Notwth standing this attitude
toward Mr.. Wilson, it was shown by
letters written by Mrs. Wade that she
possessed clear and lucid mind. Wit
nesses testified to the same effect.
A codlcil made by Mrs. Wade was de-
clared invalid by Surrogate Cohalan on
the ground that it was not properly cx-
ecuted. The Surrogate, however, de-
med a motion by counsel for the con-
testants to set aside the verdict of the
jury upholding the will, which counsel
argued was against the weight of evi-
dence

Cut i'm Bread Loaf
Agreed On TO Meet
Flour Price Raise
Crocers' Associations Tell
Williams Public Would
Resent Increased CHARGE:
Bakers Are Forced to Act

The size of the bread loaves sold
here probably will shrink in the near
future, it developed yesterday at a
meeting between Federal Food Ad-
ministrator Arthur Williams and repre-
sentatives Of grocers' associations. The
question of cutting down the loaf will
be definitely determined to-day at a
conference between the Food Admins
traitor and Wholesale bakers.
The preliminary conference on bread.
held yesterday, was called By Mr.. Will
Jams to learn the views of the grocers
on increasing the price. The bakers
informed Mr.. Williams last week that
they would probably be forced to in
crease because of an advance in the
flour price from $12 barrel to Sis.
Mr.. Williams asked the grocers re-
failing the bread to handle it on a
reduced margin. He was told by Peter
II. alnor, president of the New York
Retail Grocers' Association, that the
grocers were now receiving gross
profit of Is per cent on tie bread they
handled. He said that he did not see
how they could work on lower margin,
He also declared that advancing the
price of bread would add to the general
unrest and bring abuse upon the re-
taller, although he was not responsible
for the higher price.
"You could add ten cents to the price
of some commodities and five cents to
others without provoking a murmur
from the people, Mr.. Amor said, "but
II you add one cent to the bread price
you drop a match in a powder ma<a-
zine"
MIR. Williams suggested that the
bakers be asked to use the -four offered
by the government, at a price consid-
erably below that of the our now
used by most of the bakers. By com
blnlng the two fours, Mr.. Williams
thought, the bread price could be kept
down. Mr.. Amor and others present
said they had learned that the govern
ments flour was not satisfactory for
baking the kind of bread being turned
out at present. They said that con-
sumers would object to turning back
to anything even remotely resembling
war bread.
/ 1t was then agreed upon by the con-
terees that the best way out of the
dilemma was through the reducing OF
sizes.
At the Office of the United States
Grain Corporation, az Broadway, it was
said that bakers are using the gram
corporation standard wheat flour
which sells for S10.65 barrel, in pro
portions Of from 25 to 40 per cen,
IN mixtures with the higher priced
hour without sacrificing the quality OF
their bread. The price Of the So
called bakers patents was quoted yes
terday at from $15.15 to $3.50.
1t was said that the governments
fiour is attracting large numbers o.
con sumers, who make their purchase.

rector, at az Broadway.

Over Husbands Will
Widow Claims All Personal
Property With Exception
Of New York Herald Co.
and All French Realty

Mrs. Maud Gordon Bennett. widow
OF James Gordon Bennett, former own
er of "The New York Herald" through
FREDERIC R. Coudert, filed her answer
IN the Supreme Court yesterday to the
proceeding brought by Rodman Wana-
maker and the Guaranty Trust Com
pany, executors under Mr. Bennett's g
American will for the judicial con-
| struction of some portions of the in
strument and for instructions regard
ing their duties.
The executors wanted to know
whether the American and French
Wills Of the testator were to be ad-
mnlstered independently and whether
no American property was to be dis
posed of under the French will.
Mrs: Bennett denies in her answer
that Eugene Higgins, executor under
the French will, took no active part
IN the administration of the estate.
She also denies that she claims all the
personal estate of her husband in
FRANCE, but claims that she is entitled
to all Mr.. Benefits real estate there
under the French will and to all of
ms personal property with the excep-
ton OF the New York Herald Com
pany, which was disposed of in the
American will Of Mr.. Bennett.
1t is also stated by Mrs. Bennet,
that she is entitled to 100000 francs a
year for the maintenance of the French
real estate, which She contends is to be
paid by Mr.. Wanamaker and the
, Guaranty Trust Company, the Ameri-
can executors, out Of any funds in
thcir hands, who also, she claims, should
pay all expenses, fees and state duties
IN France Mrs. Bennett says that the
two wills of her husband should he
regarded as one will. disposinp Of ali
his property.
Mrs. Bennett said that Mr.. Higgins
has not collected any funds under the
French will, but that he has taken
an active part in the negotiations re-
gardlng the sale of the French real
estate and has given his advice.
Application was recently made in the
Surrogates' Court for reopening the
probate of Mr.. Bennett's American will
so that his French will could be filed

Surgeon General Blue As
sures Public There is
No Reason for Alarm

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-Infuenza
has become epidemic in several army
camps, particularly in the Middle West,
Surgeon General Ireland of the army
announced to-day, and it has made its
appearance among the American troops
in Germany. While the disease is in
creasing among the civilian population
Of the United States, it has not reached
epidemic form and Surgeon General
Blue, of the public health service, said
to-day there was nothing in the stu
alton to cause alarm.
The malady, as it has appeared both
among soldiers and civilians, is of a
mild type and the resulting death rate
proportionately has been far below
that of the wartime epidemic, while
been much lower
Blue Ready to Curb Disease
Surgeon General Blue said the state
health authorities apparently had the
situation in hand wherever the disease
had occurred-and in many states it is
not prevalcn.--and Tat no request for
Federal aid had Ieen received. AS a
precautionary neasure, however, DR..
Blue has representatives IN these
states cooperating with state authori-
ties and corps of doctors trained in
lighting this particular malady is avail
able
Epidcmics have been reported from
Camp Grant, at Rockford, Ill.,, and
Fort Sheridan, Love Field, Tex, and
the Great Lakes Naval Training Sta
tlon, but the number of men in those
camps is much smaller than it was dur
lng the war, when influenza caused
thousands of deaths among the service
men. The form of the disease in this
country apparently is much milder
han that which has made it's appear
ance among the troops in Germany.
During the week ending January 9,
o5 new cases were reported among the
soldiers on the Rhine, this representing
an increase of sixty-ive over the week
before. Twelve deaths from the dis
case were reported, while there also
we're six deaths from pneumonia.

Der of hospital admissions, so it can

SAID to-day. Colonel Whaey added
that the camp hospital was receiving
very few influenza cases and had an ex-.
'rem.eiy limited amount Of pneumonia.
The camp epidemic reached it's
peak week ago, according to the
amp authorities. There have been two

Tribune Fresh
Air Fund Has
Biggest Year
Contributions for l9l9-'2O
Total $62,893, the Larg-
est Amount Realized Since
Work Started in 1877
100000 Children Aided
Last Twelve Months Saw
1896 Persons Added to
the List of Subscribers

The fiscal year of the Tribune Fresh
Air Fund closed on January 16. Be-
low is given the final list of contri-
buttons to the fund to be credited to
the work of the year.
In point Of contributions received,
the year 1920 was by far the most
successful in the forty-three years of
the funds history. Beginning in 1877
with q total Of contributions for the
year of $187.62, the fund closed it's
work for 1919 showing gifts from the
public amounting to $685.
Contributions for 1918, the funds
next best year. amounted to 46,784.56.
There was, therefore, a net increase
for the year just ended of $16,108.44,
or approximately 3432 per cent.
This increase was almost entirely
due to an accession Of new friends to
the work, 1896 persons who had never
before made gifts lending their finan-
cial support in 1919.
This brings the total amount con-
tributed by the public in support Of
the Tribune Funds work during forty
three years up to more than $780,
900. During this period the fund has
sent to the country for summer vaca-
tions nearly 100000 children from the
tenements Of New York

when she wishes to be dis

by charm of line and beauty
