CHICAGO, March IA slip Of
plain white paper, making her sole
beneficiary to an estate of $780, 900, to-
day came to Mrs. Adrienne Bleyer as q
symbol of restitution from beyond the
grave. 1t was the will Of Clifford
Bleyer, who had neglected her in life,
spent his time with Mrs. Ruth Ran
dali, the woman who killed him, and
made her suffer untold agonies Of
shame and grief.
The will was found by a boyhood
friend of Bleyer, who was rummaging
in his desk, in an effort to learn if the
widow would be provided for. The will
consisted of mere 100 words, written
date on the will shows that it was
written during the time when Bleyer
was associating with the vampire
woman"
Gave Woman Big Sums
For a time it had been feared that
Bleyer had squandered all his money
on his "kitten girl" as he called Mrs.
Randall. Her apartment was lavishly
furnished and the stubs in his check
book, which were found after his dis
appearance and first gave his friends a
clew to his affair with the woman.
showed that each month he paid Mrs.
Randall's rent.
Entries in the personal diary Of Mrs.
Randall showed large sums of money
from Bleyer. They had been given,
however, less frequently during the
last months, and it was thought the
woman had turned angrily against
him and shot him when she imagined
he could not provide for her in the
same old style.
Mrs. Bleyer announced She would ap-
pear at the inquest on Monday.
There are $4,000 worth of accident
policies, which will not be paid if the
jury returns an open verdict or de-
cides that Bleyer committed suicide.
1t has not been definitely established
that the woman killed Bleyer, but there
are several things which point to this.
One is the strain of melancholy and

We hope before May to have suf-
up a formidable front against the

heretofore has been that the tenants
were not organized. Their complaints
were futile. But there are enough vic

Unions Push Rent Fight
The Central Federated Union, at its
meeting in the Labor Temple, Eighty
fourth Street and Third Avenue. last
night, decided to push vigorously it's
campaign for alleviation of high rents
The organization plans to hold mass
meeting at the Central Opera House.

Senator Boylan and Assemblyman Don

Tne Mayors Committee on Rent
Profiteering, which has approved the
bill, will be represented, as will many
other labor and civic organizations.
Corporation Counsel Burr, it was de-
clared, has pronounced the bill highly
desirable.
A hearing will be held on the bill at
Albany before the Joint Codes Com
mittee of the House and Senate, on
March %, it was announced. The Cen
trail Federated Union and many other
unions will send delegates.>
In addition to pushing this measure,
the rent profteering committee of the
union was instructed to take up with
Mayor Hylan and the Board of Esti-
mate a municipal building plan. Speak
ers at the meeting last night urged
that organized labor bring pressure
upon the city authorities to emulate
the plan of Jersey City to build houses
at the expense of the municipality and
rent or sell them at cost. 1t was urged
that the city invest $4,000, 900 in the
project.
Abraham Lefkowitz, of the Teachers
Union, said that no measures designed
simply for the alleviation of the pres
ent housing situation would do and
that, unless the city itself builds
homes and takes active measures to
promote building enterprises by other
agencies, the housing problem could
not be solved.
Similar sentiments were expressed
by E. j. Hannah, president of the Gen.
trail Federated Union. Ernest Bohm,
secretary, and other members.

VACCINATION WITH "ANTI-BODIEs

Vaccination with "anti-bodies" in place
OF serum as at present promises TO be the
next method of securing immunity from

OF serum, according to DIR. T. NJ. Huntoon
of the FL. K Mulford laboratories, who
has been conducting experiments for some
time and has told Of his work before the
New Castle County Medical Society.
The discovery is one of the biggest things
IN medical science, according to medical
