Are Grandnieces.
s25o,ooO is INVOLVED
Mystery Of Lonely Old Won.
ans Life Probably Will Be
Revealed in Action.

The identity Of Mrs. z. d. johnson,
named as the chief beneficiary in the
alleged "win'' OF Mrs. Margaret Eas-
ron, the. recluse who died at 80 Put
nam avenue. Brooklyn, leaving a for
rune Of s250,ooo, was cleared up last
night when Mrs. Johnson was found
in Bloomville, Ohio. She explained
hat she was the daughter OF James
Easton and that Mrs. Margaret Eas-
ION was her stepmother.
At the same time Mrs. johnson, who
was Josephine Easton, was saying
hat she had not heard OF any fortune
having been left her by her step
mother, new set of heirs came for
ward to claim share OF the estate.
Mrs. johnson made q mysterious trip
% this city two days after the funeral
Of her stepmother and then disap-
peared. The appearance of the new
claimants, and the complications
caused by the appearance Of the
will" threaten contest which may
settle many questions Of relationship
and explain why, even before the
death of James Easton In 1914, the
Eastons had ceased communication
with their nearest relatives.
The new claimants are Miss Dorothy
Easton Wicks, nurse in the Brooklyn
Hospital, and her sisters, Eleanor S.
and Harriet Minor Wicks of West
orange, ". J. They are, according to a
petition filed In the Surrogates' Court,
the grand nieces of James N. Easton.
Their father, Harry u. Wicks, who died
eleven years ago, was the son OF George
Wicks, whose wife, Anna, was James
VI. Easton's sister. Their mother, Mrs.
Harry wicks lives in West Orange. and
the two younger daughters Live vith

Their contention VIII be that they ore
entitled to such part OF the estate OF
James NJ. Easton as would go legally
to the next of kin. They probably will
assert that Mr.. Easton left no probated
will, that his widow acquired her prop
erty from him and that as she left no

Miss Dorothy Wiclss, through her at
torney, Mark II. Ellison of 132 Nassau
street. has started action in the courts
by petitioning the Brooklyn Surrogate
10 increase the bond of the administra-
tors of Margaret Easton's estate from
5000 to 100000. An order to show
cause why the increase should not be
ordered is returnable on November %.
The administrators are Mrs. Mary Nc
Donald and her son, Allen J. Mcdonald,
of 151 West Kingsbridge road, The
Bronx. Allen Mcdonald and his sisters,
Miss Ailene Mcdonald and Mrs. Law
renee Sweeney, are the nephew and
nieces of Afrs. Easton. Up TO the time
OF the appointment OF the executors no
other heirs had appeared.

the Wicks family. said yesterday that

The Jewish monitor. (Fort Worth-Dallas, Tex.) 191?-1921, 1921-04-22
CHAPTER II.

Continued from last lssue).
The Jew does not prosecute the Ar
menian; he avoids him. The Turk, be-
cause Of numerical proximity, finds
him unavoidable, therefore he pro-
tects himself by the ingenious expedi-
ent Of killing him. This method Of re-
lief Is slightly crude, perhaps, but
serves its purpose most excellently.
In this the Turk shows himself re-
grettably lacking in originality. His
quaint custom Of massacre obviously
was borrowed from the Christians af-
ter observing their manner of deal
ing with prosperous Jews, its simpli-
city and effectiveness recommending
1t to his practical mind. Also, he lacks
thoroughness, as we'll as Christian
thrift, as it is not recorded that rob-
berry accompanies his wholesale homi-
eide.
Taking the testimony Of credible
Jews, it would appear that the Turk
Contrary to the character imputed to
him by mendacious missionaries),
when not indulging his rather repre-
hensible habit Of numbering Armen-
ians, II q good deal Of gentleman
and treats the Jew as such. One Of
these witnesses, Herman Jacobson
writing in the Jewish Criterion, tells
Of the pitable condition of Turkish
Jewry under Christian dominion, and
adds:
with Ottoman rule their lot chang
ed for the better. Indeed, a new era
for the Turkish Jews was ushered in
with the rise Of the Crescent. Contrary
To popular notions prevalent in the
West, the Turk is by nature tolerant,
brave, ever-smiling, honest, indulgent.
His conquest Of European Turkey was
Q God-sent gift for the Jews, not only
Of Turkey but Of the whole world.
Turkey became haven Of rest for
our people"
This would further indicate that the
Turk IL not habitually a homicide and
strengthens the theory Of economic
EFFICIENCY in his Armenian attitude.
It Is wrong. Of course-grieviously
wrong-for the Turk To kill Armen-
ians despite Christian example in
Jewish pogroms. Yet those who have
come in personal contact with many
Armenians may not find it in their
hearts to chide him too harshly there
for, although the practice is not one
TO be encouraged. II is much easier
and very Christianlike-to sympath-
lie with the Armenian in his tribula-
tions when totally unacquainted with
him and separated from his presence
by many miles Of ocean. But the Turk
has no business to borrow from the
Christians.
Although similar in its economic as
poets, the Armenian problem has not
the universal character Of the Jewish
problem because the Armenians are
not universally distributed as are the
Jews. It Is largely local problem, az
tecting mainly the Turks among ex-
The Jewish monitor. (Fort Worth-Dallas, Tex.) 191?-1921, 1921-04-22

The situation regarding racial ran
cor in its relation to economic conflict
may briefly be summed up in this
wise:
Turks, unable successfully to COM
pete with the Armenian in commerce,
kill him. Moderately successful in such
competition with the Jew, who benefits
in this respect from comparison with
the more adept Armenian, the Turk
does not kill him. Christians Except
ing Armenians), seeing themselves
economically outstripped by the Jew,
kill and rob him when unrestrained;
elsewise' they prosecute him in other
and permissible ways. It is the i'm
memorial practice of all races, when
sufficiently powerful physically, to
make war, under various pretenses, on
any people that surpasses them in
economic ability.
1t is law Of life, from the lowest
orders to the highest, from mohad up
to man, to war upon whatever inter-
feres with economic interest. This
rule extends from the individual to
classes, thence to nations, and on to
groups Of nations. In this respect the
hawk is not essentially different from
the human. nor the cannibal from the
collegian. This law springs from the
supreme instinct Of self-preservation.
is born Of the universal impulse for
survival; and in the very nature Of
things its processes are predatory.
For fuller understanding of the
economic dependence of race antagon-
ism, let US consider its relations to
patriotism, lack Of which is one of the
chief faults falsely charged against
the Jews. The irascible Doctor John
son declared, patriotism is the last
refuge Of the scoundrel." He might
also have said that it is the first ref
uge Of the calculating politician desig-
mated as Statesman"
Says that master satirist, Disraeli,
Patriotism was boast; now it is a
controversy" To the chauvinist this
definition may appear unduly cynical;
but the Earl Of Beaconsfeld, as prime
minister Of England-the most imper-
ialistic Of all Enthusiastically was
qualified to speak Of patriotism with
knowledge Of its worth.
Patriotism is an artificial sentiment,
skillfully fostered by rulers for their
own interest. 1t is the emotional ex-
preston Of national egotism, and as
such is the negation Of the universal
principle Of altruism. The substance
Of its inspiration is to "love your ma
tive land" and hate all others. It is a
development Of that allegiance which
feudal lords exacted Of their vassals
(called "retainers" presumably for
the reason that they were not allowed
to retain anything Of value,) even as
modern warfare is a development Of
medieval brigandage which itself was
On evolvement from primordial pred.
alton. Conventional patriotism simply
substitutes loyalty to a locality fof
loyalty to a parsonage. It is purely q
matter Of geography.
