Mrs. Morris Baker No. |
Loses Fight for Estate

Surrogate Foley yesterday revoked
letters of administration granted to
Mrs. Gussie Baker, of New Haven.
Conn, on the estate of her former hus.
band, Morris Baker, head Of the Ameri-
can Burlesque Association. Baker was
killed on May in an automobile acci-
dent at Auburn while riding with his
second wife, Mrs Bertha Baker.
While the second Mrs. Baker was suf4
fering from injuries received in the ac-
cident the first Mrs. Baker came to New
York and obtained the letters of ad-
ministration.
Mrs. Baker No. 2 brought proceed
ings to oust her rival claimant for the
estate. 1t was alleged that the theatri
cal man obtained divorce from his
first wife in Chicago in January, 1912,
and in the following June married his
second wife, who was chorus girl
had not seen her husband since he de-
serted her and their daughter fifteen
years ago, but had no knowledge Of the
divorce.
Surrogate Foley called attention to
the fact that the first Mrs. Baker was
resident Of Connecticut, and said:
"The Connecticut doctrine is most
perfect example of reciprocity. Con-
necticut grants divorces against non
resident defendants and in turn recog-
nizes those obtained in foreign states"
The Surrogate said he was bound by
the law to accept that doctrine. He
added: "This decision must be accom-
panied by hardship. The innocent first
wife is deprived of her share in the es-
tate of her husband. Fortunately, her
daughter is not so punished, but will
take ne-third of the estate"

Baroness's Sister Opens
Leslie Will Case Again
Motion to Revive Proceedings
Granted, Although 100000
Estate Is Distributed

Although the s1,7Oo,oOO estate of
Mrs. Frank Leslie, who died five years
ago, has been distributed, Surrogate
Foley yesterday granted motion by
Mrs. Henrietta r. Hurlbut, as admin
istratrix of the estate of her sister,
Althea, Baroness Salvador, to revive an
application to revoke the probate Of
Mrs. Leslie's will.
Baroness Salvador started proceed
ing in April, 1919, to revoke the will Of
the publishers widow. She claimed
that Mrs. Leslie had made prior will,
under which she was beneficiary. The
baroness said Mrs. Leslie had promised
to reward her for giving Mrs. Leslie u
standing in Paris society. In the pro-
bated will the testatrix left Baroness
Salvador a diamond brooch with a
coronet Mrs. Leslie left most of her
estate to Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait for
the promotion of woman suffrage
Baroness Salvador died before her
application to revoke the will could be
heard. Mrs. Hurlbut then took her
place as petitioner.
Surrogate Foley decided that the OBJ
jcctions of the executors to a revival Of
the proceedings might be presented and
disposed of at the hearing to revoke
tho will.

Scranton and Binghamton, as we'll as
some to the south and west of Scranton.
Some of these places will entertain
no no more than ten or twelve children.
Others hope to care for as many as
one hundred

a new and valuable friend in the local
Rotary Clubs. The Rotarians Of Sayre

:. The fund publishes to-day its second
list OF contributions for the season
The, total is just below 5000. This
is almost onethirtieth of the summers
budget, the best sort of evidence that
the city is not going to permit the
country to surpass it in generosity
toward the youngsters of the tene-
ments.
Yet while the subscription of one
thlrtleth of the total budget is a
good sign, it is little more than a
sign. The fund must have $4,000 if
it is to provide those 1900 boys and
girls with fortnightly vacations this
summer. You have a part to perform it
this work if you believe in children
and their welfare and happiness. VIII
you do that part by sending CON
