Il. Spang. whose will leaving about
$3,00O,000 to found a home for children.
is being contested in the SURROGATE
Court
Mrs. Spang has been quoted AS ex-
pressing the fear that she and her
husband were headed for the poor
house because Of the open-handed ex-
penditures Of Mr.. Spang. The testatrix
whose daughter, Mrs. Mabel Spanr
Ancker. is the contestant, it has been
testified was penurious in some mat
ters and quite liberal with her money
in others. AS to Mr.. Spang. Allan =
Cooley, who acted as his nurse re
terred to him as "tight-wad," despite
his millions
Cooley. like other witnesses for the
contestant, has stated his opinion that
MRS. Spang was irrational. On cross
examination g, yesterday by Henry w.
laft, counsel for the trustees under
inc VIII of Mrs. Spang. Cooley ex-
pialned what he meant when he said
Mr.. Spang was penurious. The nurse
related that while he and his charge
we're at Atlantic City the former steel
man mar! would send Cooley out to buy
fruit for him for breakfast rather
than pay for the hotel breakfast,
Cooley quoted Mrs. Spang as saying
that because of the nurses education,
ner husband should be waiting on him
rather than Cooley should wait on Mr..
Spang.
Miss Margaret Herman, a trained
nurse who also attended Mr.. Spang.
was another witness before SurroCate
Cohalan yesterday. She said Mrs.
Spang used to complain that Miss
Herman was using too much alcohol
tor Mr.. Spang and that it was cost
ing too much.
Mrs. Spang also complained, she said.
that Mr.. Spang, to whom she referred
as an "old souse," was using too much
whisky. Shortly before the death Of
her husband Mrs. spang said he was
gong somewhere where she hoped he
would have a front seat and short
poker" according to the witness.

LONDON, Feb. 3-The case of Emily
Knowles the unmarried mother Of
Perley Spiker's baby. has stirred Eng
and. The tremendous publicity which
'he press has given to dispatches with
details Of Miss Knowles's arrival in
New York and the extraordinary atti-
ude of Mrs. Spiker has interested
everyone here in the fate Of the little
English girl. The feeling in her case
5 running high among both those who
e1press only the greatest indignation
over the conduct Of the American avia-
or and those who profess the strong
est admiration for the stand taken by
Splker's wife and brother.
Mrs. Knowles the widowed mother
OF the wronged girl expressed the bit
tercst hatred of Spiker, who, she had
a always understood, her daughter had
married
Il would sacrifice anything to pun
ish Splker,' said Emily's mother to-
DAY Il think Mrs. Spiker is as bad as
her husband to agree to the proposal
made"
Other persons here, however. are
more charitable Mrs. Spiker's consid-
Grafton for the "other woman" is
warmly commended by many promi-
nent English women. They insist that
the case outdoes fiction, where it is
always the husband, and not the un-
heppy victim, whom the wife forgives.
Some see in the Mrs. Spiker's for
slveness 'the-n new spirit of womanhood
asserting itself"
English women are indignant at the
dictum Of the Chicago clergyman who
SAID the girl ought to be sent back to
England 'to drink the bitter cup of her
folly. The majority express a wish
that the present case may end happily,
although they are not willing to accept
1t as a generalization on the entire
scope of relations between wives and
vayward husbands
Guy Spiker's proposal of marriage is
aeScrlbed as mobile"
Altogether the case is the strangest
that England even with its thousands
OF war babies, has ever had to consider.

wife has given hundreds of people here,
