may not know it. but her arrival
averted an impending suit for the
estate Of e. p. Norman, wealthy
brewer, and finally enabled her
mother TO find the pot of gold she
has been chasing since her grand
fathers death.
Under terms of the will of the
grandfather. 100000 Of the estate
was to go to charity. in the event
his daughter did not give birth to a
child before she was IS years old.
The will also provided a life an
nuity and s225,oOO in cash for the
granddaughter.
Problem whether to sue.
When she became 81 years old the
heiress was not satisfied with the
amount Of the annuity the trustees
Of the estate offered. But the will
provided that in case the will was
contested the beneficiary seking to
break it would be eliminated auto
maticalIy. To sue or not to sue was
the problem racking the brain OF the
young heiress.
Time passed and she waited and
began to make little garments with
her own hands. Then the telegraph
wires ticked along the information
that a daughter had been born.
Money Held in Trust.
The fortune, however, does not
go direct to the mother, but is to
be held in trust for the child. The
possibility exists the mother may
sue to get direct possession of a
larger share of the estate for her
self. If she should fail to break
the will and thereby be shut off by
the no contest" clause she still
would have the 100000 of her
daughter to fall back on.

girl to Lieut.. Phillip Farnsworth

Sir Hamar Greenwood Gives
English Position on
Home Rule Plan.
Cwashington HeraId-Cross Atlantic
Service, Special Gable DispatchD

London, Aug 23.-Sir Hamar
Greenwood, chief secretary for Ire
land. outlined for the Cross Atlantic
last night just what the government
was prepared to grant Ireland in
the way of home rule. 1t is the first
official statement on the Irish situa-
tion from the government since the
premier made a quick right about
in his position a week ago.
England stands prepared TO
grant Ireland a liberal form OF
home rule, even allowing the con-
troll of it's own customs and excises
if she'll agree without coercing the
six counties of Ulster" he said.
His statement is important in
view of the conference in Dublin
Tuesday between the conservatives
of North and South Ireland. Sir
Hamar himself will be in Ireland,
and not only he, but all British Off
cialdom will be watching its de-
liberations closely.
Lloyd George to Make oner.
Lloyd George, when he returns
from his vacation in Lucerne. will
make a bid for the settlement of
the Irish question along the lines
outlined by Greenwood. 1t is be-
lieved that the conference will
carry the Irish forces a long way
towards acceptance of the offer
when it is made. l can state
authoritatively that Lloyd George
is prepared to grant Ireland al
most anything it may ask, If the
grant will assure a final settle
ment of the question, except an in
dependent republic. But the Sim
Fein must acquiesce in any set
tlement reached.
Greenwood's outline of terms does
not include Irish control Of its
own army or navy, and does not
provide a separate parliament from
Ulster, but it is believed that be-
cause of the heavy taxes Of the
British Empire the six counties OF
Ulster would soon ask to be al
lowed to iOin the rest of Ireland
even if they were to start with a
separate parliament.
British officialdom believes that
these considerations will lead tht
moderate element in Sin Fein &c
lend a favorable ear to Lloyc
Georges proposition. but was told
at the Sim Fein headquarters IN
London tonight that such PROPOSE
tion would be absolutely unaccept'
able.
Let Lloyd George do his damned
est" said a Sim Fein official, I'VE
cannot and will not accept this sort
Of a proposition. All this talk ot
dividing a country that God and ma.
ture has made one, in separating the
six counties of Ulster from the rest
OF Ireland. Is tommy-rot We won't
stand for it. That's final. And we're
ready to fight his threat to make
