Hanna's Fiance
Declares Intent
.COntesting Will

White Plains, N. Y, Nov. 10-Miss
June Avis Evans, who claims to have
been engaged to the late Dan r.
Hanna, millionaire Cleveland pub
Usher, today began proceedings in
dicating her intention to sue for a
share in the estate estimated at his
death to be worth $1O,O0O,OO0. MIR.
Hanna's will, which was filed here
yesterday, divided the bulk of his es-
tate, between his three sons, provis-
ion having been made for his daugh-
tiers in his life time and no requests
having been made to his four di-
vorced wives.
The will, executed on August II,
1920, consists of four typewriter
pages. There were two interlinea-
tions, both later imperfectly blotted
out and marked cancelled" in the
testator's handwriting. One of these
referred to giving his country estate
1.-The Croft" and large amount of
personal property to his son, Daniel
r. ..
Another blotted out paragraph In
the margin of the paper, which can
be read through the blot says: 1t
being my intention to marry June
Avis Evans" then several words are
indistinguishable and the paragraph
ends: Should die before such mar
riage takes place, I instruct my exc
cutors to provide a trust (Then
more plotting, making the rest of the
paragraph illegible.)
Attorneys for Miss Evans today OBJ
tanned permission to photograph the
will. They claim that the instrument
leaves to Miss Evans an annuity of
So, 900 in addition to the country es-
tate, 1.-The Croft" and a large
amount of personal property. Miss
Evans and Mr.. Hanna were to be
married as soon as the latter was
legally free to do So, according to
Leslie c. Ferguson, one of the petit
toner's attorneys. Mr.. Ferguson
called attention to the fact that the
alleged cancellation of the requests
to Miss Evans was not witnessed and
was therefore illegal. adding that
every attempt would be made to Sc
cure for Miss Evans the requests for
which she is mentioned.

Nationalist Only
Irish Group Not
Heard in Parleys

London, Nov. 15.-(By A. P.)-All
parties in Ireland with the exception
or the Nationalist, who, however, are
now largely incorporated with the
Sim Fein, have now had their say in
the negotiations regarding the future
Of Ireland.
The Southern Unionists, who are
opposed to dual parliament for the
Island, saw Prime Minister Lloyd
George today, Lord Middleton stating
the case for them, while the Ulster
ties had before them the govern
ment's refusal of their counter pro-
posals for settlement of the Irish
question. 1t was understood that the
governments reply to Ulster contain
ed no new suggestions or proposals.
leaving the situation apparently
deadlocked.
John Miller Andrews, secretary of
labor in the Ulster cabinet, upon his
return to Belfast today made it clear
in statement to the press. that the
governments proposal to Ulster was
for single parliament for United
Ireland and that Ulster had replied
that she must have a separate par
liament--a suggestion which neither
the Sim Feiners nor the southern
unionists would agree to.
Protest meetings will be held in Ul-
ster tomorrow against what the UI-
sterites characterize as a betrayal
of Ulster
1t is considered, unlikely however,
that anything will be done to break
the apparent deadlock before the
meeting of the conservative party in
Liverpool on the coming Thursday,
when the delegates will have an op-
portunity q voting upon the straight
resolutions that the recent offer to
Sim Fein went beyond the Unionist
opinion of this country" and that
mo settlement of the Irish question
will be acceptable which does not alb
solutely respect the position acquired
by Ulster"
Austen Chamberlain. government
leader in the House of Commons, a
supporter of the Ulster position will
not be present at the party conven-
ton to defend his stand. but is ex-
pected to address a public meeting
that evening. Andrew Bonar Law,
who the Obstetrics hoped would carry
their standard, alos il not expected
to attend.
To so-called "die-hards," who re-
Gently attacked the governments
Irish policy in the House Of Com
mons, will carry on a fight against
Mr.. Chamberlain in the convention
and it is expected that Lord Derby,
with whom Mr.. Chamberlain is stay
ing, and who is an advocate Of peace
in Ireland, will at least try to pour
oil upon the troubled waters. The
delegates to the convention number
between 1900 and 1000.
