CHARGES FORGERY
OF S1,OOO,OOO WILL
Executor Rewrote First Page
of Kraus Testament, Says
Referee.

Referee John Godfrey SAKE filed a
report yesterday in Surrogates' Court
holding that the will of Samuel Kraus,
pencil manufactures. who died January
9, 1920. is a forgery. and that Mrs.
Adeline Thomas Of $50 West Eighty
eighth street is the illegitimate daugh-
ter OF Kraus, and therefore is not
entitled to share in the estate.
Soon after Kraus died the will was
filed by Mrs. Thomas and her husband,
Oscar b. Thomas. a lawyer with
offices at 2S0 Broadway. Thomas and
his wife were named executors in the
will. which, in leaving the entire estate
TO Mrs. Thomas. referred to her as
my daughter Adeline"
Immediately Bert Kraus, a nephew OF
the manufactures, began contest in
the Surogates' Court on the ground
that his uncle had been unduly in
fluenced in the execution Of the will.
and that Mrs. Thomas was not the
daughter of his uncle, who never was
married
Mr.. SAKE in his report says will was
drawn by Oscar Thomas FOR Kraus in
March. 1912. and copied upon paper
with an old style Remington typewriter.
Several years later, the report con-
tinues. Thomas got new typewriter.
The first page of the will was then
recopied, according to the opinion Of
the referee. and the first page attached
to the second page OF the will. The
first page contains three clauses giving
to Mrs. Thomas the entire estate and
names her and i or husband the sole
executors. 1t was upon this will that
letters of administration were issued
and the two took charge OF the prop
erty. which is valued at about st,o0O0CO.
II was brought out in testimony be-
fore the referee that the mother of
Mrs. Thomas was Mary Gertrude Brum-
nell, who first met Kraus in 1889 when
she was earning SIG per week in his
! pencil factory at Yonkers. The report
states Adeline Thomas was born out
OF wedlock. although much testimony
was adduced to show that the mother
of Mrs. Thomas lived at various times
at Kraus's home at Congers. at the
Empire Hotel in this city and at &s
South Broadway. YonlSers. Summing
UP the testimony, however, the referee
held:
Samuel Kraus never lived with Mary
G.. Brummell. either as wife or other
wise. He never introduced her as such.
Their lives were not joint. but separate.
From the earliest credible testimony
Samuel Kraus was never more than
a visitor. calling regularly on Saturday
afternoons. bringing fruit and candy
for his daughter and leaving during
the evening"
IL the report OF Referee Sake Is
adopted the estate will go to Bert
Kraus and to the various other heirs
at law.

What to Have With Fish

When fish is the main dish for din
ner it's sometimes hard to choose the
vegetables and dessert to accompany
it.
Fish is a concentrated protein food
and requires bulky foods TO go with
it to satisfy hunger. Brown bread
rather than white, plain, simply
cooked vegetables, any salad with a
French dressing, and a fruit dessert
combine well with fish.
If a sauce is served with the fish
plain boiled potatoes busted with
parsley should be used. If the fish
is dry" scailoped potatoes bring
the milk into the diet.
As fish is rather highly favored
an acid should be introduced into
the meal to give piquancy. A tart
jelly will answer this purpose if q
salad that contains an acid isn't de-
sirable.

THIRTY THOUSAND
DIE0F HUNGER AT
GATES OF LIENTSIN
American Engineer Describes
Conditions in China's
Famine District.

NEW YORK. Feb. 10. - Thirty
thousand Chinese gathered on a great
bare field outside Tientsin, China,
waited patiently for food which
never arrived and then slowly died
there, T.. s. Glines, American en-
gineer. reported upon his arrival
here after passing six months in the
famine-stricken areas of north
China.
The condition of the starving
hOrdes was so pitiful. Mr.. Glines
said, that he did not have the heart
to take photographs of such misery"
He said that the crowd at Tientsin
had gathered because they believed
food would reach them there more
quickly than in the country. Along
roadside near the field. he told Of
seeing the bodies of a whole family
father, mother and five children
each a few yards apart, where they
had dropped and died.
Crop Failures Almost Complete.
THE crop failures have been al
most complete in the five great prov
inces that make up the northern
part of China proper-Chihli, Shan
tung. Shansi, Shensi and Honan, g"
said Mr.. Glines. This is the part
of the country around Picking, south
| of Mongolia and Manchuria.'
Explaining why the sections Of
| China not stricken by famine were
unable to relieve the starvation dis
tricts. Mr.. Glines said: China is
| largely an agricultural nation.
Ninety per cent Of the population
lives on the tiny farms into which
the country is divided. The Chinese
work their land to the limit but they
cannot raise more than enough to
| feed themselves. Each district can
raise barely enough food to support
its own people. That is why the
prosperous provinces have been
able to do so little for the famine
stricken ones. They have not the
food to send.
The crops in north China have
failed since 1919. The people have
been unable to get more than scraps
OF food from other parts of China.
They have been unable 10 get much
from outside because food has been
high priced all over the world. They
have tried to move TO better districts
where they could raise crops but
such districts are so far and they
have had such poor resources that
they have died like fiies.on the way.
Secs Irrigation Need.
There is no question that more
than 100000 600 Chinese will starve
70 death this winter and spring un-
less food is rushed TO them" He
| declared that millions will die de-
spite aid. that the population of
5000 600 in the famine districts is
in such dire straits that it will be a
/ physical impossibility TO rush enough
/ food TO them to save all.
Great irrigation projects. control
of floor producing streams, and i'm
provement of transportation were
cited by Mr.. Glines as the only sal
walton of the agricultural and
economic life of China.
These things will be done in
time" he said, "for. China is awake
America will probably have a big
part in this future of China, but we
must lay aside these things for the
present and devote every effort to
getting food TO the starving mil
lions"
