WIDOW WAS EAGER
FOR SPANG RICHES
Attorney Tells How Woman Sought
Wealth, Broke viii Two Days
After Funeral.

! Within two days after the burial of her
husband in Pittsburg, Pa, Mrs. Rosa h.
Spang consulted with her lawyer for the
purpose of getting immediate control of
her share of his estate. Charles G. Lock
wood, State Senator, testified yesterday
before Surrogate Cohalan and a jury at
the will contest being brought by her
daughter, Mrs. Mabel Spang Ancler.
| Though Mr.. Spang, steel manufacturer.
had provided in his will for the payment
of the entire income from his residuary
ESTATE. valued at more than 100000. to
his widow for life. Mrs. Spang was not in
clined TO follow his wishes and elected to
take action against the will under the laws
of Pennsylvania which gave her one-half
of the estate outright
Mr. Lockwood had returned to New York
after attending Mr.. Spang's burial and he
went to Mrs. Spang at the Woldorf to eX-
plain the situation to her. "She clapped
her hands together with force and said
I want to get the money in my hands,
right in my own hands," the witness re-
ported her saying.
She then instructed the lawyer to prepare
her paper Of election. and after signing it
had to be persuaded not to make it ef-
fective until after her husbands will had
been probated. Senator Lockwood said he
deferred taking action at once because he
feared Mrs Spang would flood the city
with elections she would sign for others.
Before Mr.. Spang died his wife had
made will leaving her personal property.
then consisting of jewelry and a small
bank account to. friend. Senator Lock- :
wood had difficulty in explaining to her
that if she put her election into force the
friend would inherit upon her death every
thing she had received from her husband's s
estate, amounting to millions.
Mrs Spang could not grasp the situa-
tion for some time. but when she did she
exclaimed:-"My God, ] don't want that
to happen" She then told MIR. Lockwood
of her intention to revoke the will.
The trial will be resumed today.

TO statements attributed to Viscount Uchi-
da, the Japanese Foreign Minister, that

Small Dog Shows
Get a Hard Jolt
American Kennel Club Decides No
TO Allow Non-Licensed All Breed
Shows After March 16.

The American Kennel Club License Com
r1ittee held its regular monthly meetins
yesterday, and among other things handed
out some drastic measures in connection
with the non-licensed clubs. IT was de-
cided that after March 16 all non-lcensed
all breed shows would not be permitted. Nc
great amount of harm will be done by the
ruling here. but in other quarters the non.
licensed shows will be hit hard. This will
be particularly the case with the clubs
in and around Philadelphia, such as the
Philadelphia Pomeranian Club; the Toy
Dog Club of Pennsylvania the Kensing-
ton, the Tioga. the West Philadelphia and
the Philadelphia Toy Spaniel clubs.
As n sort OF palm for the feelings OF the
clubs and exhibitors match shows in con-
junction with the meetings OF the va
rious clubs will be permitted, but VIM
ners or reserve ribbons will not be al
lowed. It will be at the liberty of the
club to offer a special for the best dog
and bitch of each breed. This action
came to a head over a request of the
West Philadelphia Kennel Club for an
open show in June, but it was refused.
Sanction was given for 2 match show in
March George +. Foley. who manages
the all breed show of the Devon club.
