James A. Howell, led a double life
for several years before he fell dead
last month while walking along
Broadway, Mrs Caroline Howell, sew
enty years of age, yesterday. filed a
petition in the surrogates court ask
ing that she be made executsix of

Mrs. Alice Maloff with whom Mr.
Howell, retired dairy farmer is said
to have lived, also has filed a petition
in a New Jersey court in which she
alleges that all his property was
transferred to her before his death
and that there is nothing which re-
quires the appointments of an admins
traitor.
The petition filed by Mrs. Howell
states that her husband was constant
ly in the company of Mrs Maloff,
when he was supposed to be on his
trips in various parts of the country,
that he showered her with gifts, and
established bank accounts for her in
several cities between New York and
Reno, Nevada.

now IN BALANCE
Naval Restriction Has Become
Delicate Subject at Farley.
Both Japan and Britain Want
to Change Hughes Plan.

Washington, Nov. 2S.-The question
OF possible compromise in the Anneri-
can naval program for limitation of
ornaments is happily becoming one of
the most delicate of the many prob
lens before the delegates at the par
ley
From the American side has come
no suggestion that any variation in
the American program is entertained
With the conference well in its second
week. the naval schedule proposed by
the United States still stands intact, it
is stated, despite the subtle but pow
erful bombardment it has received.
AL feelers looking to recession or
change in any particular have, of
course, orig. mated with the overseas
participants in the parley and TO date
It is said none of these counter pro-
posals have been laid officially before
the conference.
Two outstanding variations from
the original proposals have been Of
fered and to date been fatty refused.
The other is the agitation from the
japanese tor the increase of tonnage
with yelled plea for the retention of
the Mutsu, one of the most powerful
Eea fighters ever built.
It is over the last item that the
suggestion of possible compromise in
sinuates itself. There is the sug-
gestion that America might retain
sufficient of her newsest fighters to
offset the Mutsu, allow Great Britain
extra tonnage and thus while not
actually upsettling the scale of
strength, greatly increase its proper

Manager of So. Am. Packing

Buenos Aires, Nov. as. j. Mac
hey of Kansas City, manager of the
Armour packing plant near the city
of Santa Cruz, has been captured by
bandits, who are also threatening to
attack the plant, according to wireless
reports received from Santa Cruz.
The American embassy called the
situation to the attention of the Ar
gentine government and marines are
reported to have landed at the plant
today. There is much concern here
over the fate of Mr.. Macbey, who is
supposed to have been seized while
outside the plant.
The report of his capture was wire
lessed by a vessel in the Santa Cruz
harbor, the bandits having cut all tele-
graph wires.
The bandits are reported to be
mostly foreigners. including Russians
and to be well organized. Reinforce
ments of troona and marines sailed
from here today for Santa Cruz, to

DECIDE EAST TITLE.
Penn State and Pittsburg Game
for Championship.

New York, Nov. 23.-Glen Kill

win be the cynosure of all eyes tomor-
row at Forbes field, Pittsburgh, when
the Nittany Lions tackle Pop Warner
Partners in an effort to clinch the
eastern football championship.
This game is Nthe biggest on the
Turkey day schedule and if the Lions
win it, they will be supreme on the
Atlantic seaboard, winding up with
eight victories and one tie out of a
stiff schedule of nine regular games.
Penn State has a game with Washing
ton university at Seattle December 8,
but it will have no bearing on the
eastern title.
Turnout a brilliant season of COM
petition against some of the strongest
teams in the east, Killinger has been
the guiding spirit of Hugo Bezdek'
team. lie is one of the seasons big
point scorers and has won. his spurs
as a field general extraordinary.
With a record already SO brilliant
that he is practically certain to be
chosen as first All-American quarter
back by a generous majority of foot
ball critics, he will go into the Pitts
burgh game bent on adding to glory
already won and his efforts as a
marked man will be interesting to
watch.
KiIlinger is regarded by many critics
who have seen him in action as one
of the greatest ground covering backs
ever developed in this country. HIS
great physical power, coupled with
speed and natural ability to play the
game. enables him to sweep thru a
broken field with the catapultic force
of a, stampeded Texas steer and he
often evades a tackler at close quarters
by sheer speed alone.

ALL ARE HAPPY
British in Wild Excitement
Over Princess BetrOthaI.
All Like Choice of English
Husband for Mary.

London, Nov 23.-The morning
newspapers express satisfaction at the
betrothal of the Princess Mary to an
Englishman and equally approve her
choice of a husband in the Viscount
Lascelles. It is emphasized that there
would have been general disappoint-
ment if she had married a member of
England Where she is universally
popular.
Her choice, says one newspaper, viii
suit the democratic and romantic
instincts of the British people ard the
modern views of monarchy IN an age
when the dynastic principle is under
reconstruction. The betrothal of the
princess makes easier to believe the
Prince of Wales in his turn will make
{ marriage which will appeal to the
same romantic and democratic senti-
ments of the nation. This is typical
of many of the comments.
Meanwhile expressions of gratifi-
cation over the betrothal are coming
from people in all parts # the empire.
Congratulatory messages were pour
ing into Buckingham palace today
from every direction bearing affec-
wishes, from all ranks of the British
A large crowd assembled
outside the palace this morning in
hopes of greeting the princess when
she drove out. Meantime, the Irish
guards band played bright and tuneful
selections in the fore court of the
palace during the customary chang
ing of the guard, which occurs daily
when the royal family is in town.

Cold, dry weather prevailed over
Kansas this week and no moisture of
