WIDOW TO FIGHT
FOR RYAN FORTUNE
Alleges Undue Influence in
VIII That Left Residue to
Estate Of Actress.

Mrs Mamie Morse Ryan and Richard
II. Clarke filed application yesterday
before the Surrogate for appointment
as temporary administrators OF the es-
tate of Mrs. Ryan's husband, Joseph J..
Ryan, a son Of Thomas Fortune Ryan.
pending the decision OF the court in a
contest Of Ryan's will. The contest
will be hased on the ground that at the
time of the execution OF the will Ryan
lacked testamentary capacity and was
unduly influenced.
The application OF Mrs. Ryan and
Clarke, Who were trustees OF the estate
under a separation agreement between
Ryan and his wife, will be argued be-
fore the Surrogate next Monday. Un-
der the terms of the will Mrs. Ryan
received only 800, the residue of the
estate going to Miss Dorothy Lucille
Whiteford. an actress, of 172 West
Seventy-ninth street. named In the will
as friend. The two children Of Mrs.
Ryan received 5000 each. Mrs. Ryan
alleges that under the separation agree
ment OF May. 1915, she was TO receive
$3.50 month for the support of herself
and children. and that she has been
receiving $40 a month as extra funds
for the education OF the children.
In his will Ryan explained that the
reason he left only 500 to his wife was
that she had been provided for in the
separation agreement. The total of the
estate is about $4,000

great was its contribution
to the influences which kept
that wonderful mind in

ten to it-that he loved its
sweet tone.
The SCHUMACHER was
founded in Philadelphia in
1888. 1t ranks with the
best pianos made anywhere
in the world.
A very fine musician
said of it, the other day
"The SCHUMACHER is
second to no other piano
made in America in the
purity of the string tone
which distinguishes the
pianoforte from the or
gan."

THE PEPPER POT IGNORES
GREENWICH CURFEW LA WS
Woman Villagers Who Retire at Nine O'clock Com
plain of Curious Sounds Coming From
That House of Cheer.

All the good things that Commissioners
Richard E. Enright ever said about
Greenwich Village were declared yes
terday by two women of that district,
Mrs. Hollis B. Page, 143 West Fourth
street. and Mrs. Alberting d. Creveiing,
145 West Fourth street, to be false and
far from the white line of truth.
The Commissioners veracity was thus
referred to because OF protests which
the women, with fluency. presenteu
against the management Of the Pepper
Pot one Of the more prominent village
rendezvous. Mrs. Page runs several
restaurants herself. but she said she
always closed them up at O'Clock and
went home and tried to get decent
nights rest. But she was too near the
Pepper Pot, she said, for sleep.
The protested salon OF art and die-
tetics is situated at IA West Fourth
street, directly opposite the homes OF
the complainants. Mrs. Page. supported

by Mrs. Creveling. stepped right on the
edge OF things by stating in so many
words that real high geared booze was
being furnished to the Pepper Pot
patrons. probably in the pepper pots
set on each table, in order to BATTLE the
police.
Magistrate Corrigan thought this was
going far. and inquired whether they
had made a complaint to the Police
COMMISSIONER This was the point
where Mrs. Page and Mrs. Creveling
exploded sarcastic "Ha, Has" and
came out with the statement that the
Police Commissioner probably hadn't
seen the village recently. and that his
public withdrawing of this quarter was
what the Brooklyn girl terms 'goof.
In addition to the speculation over the
kind of liquids served in the Pepper
Pot Mrs. Page and Mrs. Creveling said
the racket was outrageous until far
into the night. Magistrate Corrtgan
issued a summons for the proprietor to
appear next Thursday.

1870 APPLICATIONS
 FOR LAND LEASES

Applications to lease over 10,004 800 acres of state land were filed with the land department during May, ac- cording to Rudolph Kuchler, state land commissioner.
 Expiration of a number of fve-year leases accounts for the vast number of applications which have been re- ceived from all over the state. As many as 625 were filed in a single day. The total reached 1570.
 That no definite action will be taken by the land department before July was the declaration made by MT. Kuchler, who said that in ac- cordance with his policy one month must elapse after the filing of an ap- plication before the issuance of a lease, allowing the department time to make an investigation.
 That releasing in large bodies will not be considered was the assurance given by Mir. Kuchler, who declared that each lease will cover but one

COL. BANTA INSISTS
 DEER DON'T SHED HORNS

An old frontiersman CD, MT. James F. Cox, writing from Oregon, says: "I have lived and hunted the past 45 years on the frontier" Dub asks very silly question: Docs MT. Cox live in Poltland?" Ger tainly not. Mir. Cox is frontiers man. and would scorn to live in Port land or even its suburbs. With alac- rity the writer will corroborate the fact that MT. Cox still lives on the frontier; the writer's father was in Oregon Il years ago, and he said it was frontier country. The writer would not doubt the word of his fath- CT; therefore must admit MT. Cox's frontiership. But when it comes to the "horn-shedding" myth, which seems to stick to MT. Cox tighter than a barnacle to the hull of the Flying Dutchman, the writer most emphatically draws the line. To bol- ster up his contention, Mir. Cox sends in authentic CD authorities, one of whom says: T shot at a deer and in jumping over a log its horns fell off," A very likely occurrence, when horns are in velvet, as sudden jar sometimes causes horns to fall off. Another one of his authorities says "horns are shed in March," another, "in May" one "in June," and one ex- tra good authority says January. This latter proof comes from Port land, Oregon, ith the additional in- formation-surprising in it's nature harder, Immediately before the pairing season."
 The above pairing" information would sure jolt, good and plenty, the intelligence of wooden Indian.
 Both ancient and modern law says, False in one, false in all" The writer could furnish affidavits to support his contention in this mat ter, but why "carry coals to New castle ?" Hudibras says something about convincing against the will. The writer once-only once-found pair of elk horns with skull attached. It must have "shed" it's head along with the horns. Horns are occasionally knocked off in fight ing; others are killed or die with old age, and, if horns are found, they are surely of the above class. 1 will re- late one very significant fact. In

TO CHANGE THE DATE OF
 DOING ASSESSMENT WORK

The house committee on mines and mining has submitted favorable re- port on the bill introduced by Repre- sentative Carl Hayden of Arizona to change the period of doing assess ment work on unpatented mining claims from the calendar year to the fiscal year ending June 30. Marion E. Rhodes of Missouri, the chairman of the committee, in reporting the Hayden bill made the following sta tement.
 "The sole object of this bill is to change the time for performing the work to be done annually on unpat- ented mining claims from the calen- dar year to the fiscal year, such change to begin at midnight of July 1, 1921. Every provision of the min ing laws will remain the same ex- cept that the 12 months within which such work must be done will begin on July 1 and end on June 30 of the following year instead of beginning January 1 and ending on December 31 of each year.
 1t is the usual and natural tenden- cy of all persons to postpone doing anything which must be done in a limited time until near the close of the period. For this reason the ma jor portion of the work done on un- patented mining claims under exist ing law is delayed until the months of November and December, after the weather has become cold in the mountain regions. In the higher alti- tudes it is often impossible to reach many mining claims n the winter season on account of the heavy snowfall. There has, consequently, been demand for a change from the calendar, year to the fiscal year, SO that the last two months will be May and June, when the climatic conditions are more advantageous. The testimony before your commit tee shows that this bill has the ap- proval of the great majority of per sons engaged in mining and pros
