FIELD RICHES
|. DENIED PEGGY
Illinois Supreme Court Decision
DeprNes Baby of Share in
$5,000,000 Estate.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,. April 21.-
The Illinois supreme court ruled to-
day that Henry Anthony Marsh, son
of Peggy Marsh, London actress, is
not the legitimate son of Henry
Field and therefore is not entitled
to share in the Field millions.
CLAIMED PART OF ESTATE.
Peggy Marsh claimed a part of the
vast Field fortune for her son, but
the superior court of Cook county
ruled against her contention and the
higher court here today upheld that
decision.
In its decision the Cook county
court held that the boy, Is mot such
an issue OF the grandson. Henry Field,
as will be permitted to share in any
part of the estate of Henry, Field"
under the terms of his grandfather's
will. The will of the elder Field
used interchangeably the terms tissue"
and lawful ISSUE" and attorneys for
the boy argued that by so doing he
intended to include the illegitimate
son of Henry Field.
LOSES SHARE OF ss,ooo.ooo.
Had the ruling been in favor OF
Henry Marsh the boy would have
benefited under a s5,o0o.00O trust
fund set aside by Marshall Field for
his grandchildren, Marshall Field Sd,
Henry and Gwendolyn Field and their
issues"
Judge Sullivan said in his decision:
SIT Is impossible for the court 10
believe that the testator had in mind
not only the possible but the probable
delinduencies OF his grandchildren
when they would approach manhood
and womanhood and taciuy give his
approval to their deriliction by max
ing provisions for the support OF IL
legitimate children.
"rhe will shows an evident pride In
the perpetuation OF the name OF Field
and this could scarcely be considered
as conyistent with the evident intent
to have the name and the bulk Of
this fortune linked together for the
future and at the same time a fund
should be created for the support OF
children who could not legally bear
the name.
SYMPATHY FOR CHILD.
This court fs not unmindful OF the
unfortunate position in which the
denial Of the relief asked by the
guardian adlitim places the innocent
child. who is the helpless and unof-
Tending result OF this Illicit relation
and n feeling Of sympathy is naturally
evoked IN any human breast. But
cases must be decided on the law as
"a exists and not as any one may
think II should be-

BITTER
ON YAP ISSUE

K TOKYO, April 21.-when Gen.
Leonard Wood and his party, en-
route TO the Philippines, reach Yo-
kohama today on the liner Wenat-
chic, they will find a more bitter
anti-American feeling existing as q
result of publication of the Yap
diplomatic correspondence than fol-
lowed the adoption last November by
California of the Japanese exclusion
act.
) CLAIMS U. \. IS WRONG.
Official silence continues at the
foreign office. However. one au-
thority, who refused TO allow the use
OF his name, said: America, kno ing
herself in the wrong, is using Et,-
ropes debts to her as means of fore
ing cooperation against Japan in the
zap situation. Japan may surprise
the world and throw her utmost
strength here"
Former General Sato, author of tn
book, If America and Japan Fight"
Is conducting an active campair 4
from the lecture platform against dis
armament propaganda, which is being
actively carried on by Yuzio ozaki.
ut Is my intention to oppose any
disarmament here" General Sato de-
clared in an interview today. "Amer-
las aggressive attitude is directly
provocative of my speeches.
PRESS DENoUNCEs NOTE.
The apanese press, unanimous In
denouncing the American note, today
took an aspect of utmost bitterness
In discussing the situation.
Neither Great Britain nor France
is able to denounce the attempt of
the United States through President
Harding to assert the theory that
might makes right 1t now be-
hooves the people OF Japan to make a
great determination" says the
Yorozu
In the same vein the Niroku SAYS:
at would be the height of folly for
japan to rely upon weak knee Great
Britain and France. The Yap issue
must be settled through direct me-
gotiations with the United States.
Japan does not necessarily Hike war.

persecution when her cause is right

LONDON, April 21.-Neither Bel
gium, Italy, nor the United States
will be represented at the confer
ence at Hythe on Saturday, the
foreign office announced this after
noon.
The foreign office specifically de-
MED cabled reports from Washing
ton that the United States was to
participate in the conference.
Occasion was also taken to deny
the rumor that British troops are
involved in the plans for an ad-
vance into the Ruhr valley.
PLANS OyERTURNING.
The announcement came as bomb
shell to political and diplomatic cir
cles, for II completely overturns all
previous plans. The Hythe confer
ence Is thus reduced to a dialogue
between Premiers Lloyd George and
BRAND. whereas the announced pro-
gram had called for a thorough dis
cusslon of all big questions by rep
resentstives of the four chief Euro
pean allies-France. Britain. Belgium
and Italy.
Intense speculation followed the
foreign office statement. II reVolved
chiefly around the question as to
what eleventh hour development had
upset the schedule and made the con-
ference two-nation AFFAIR.
IL was at Hythe on Saturday that
Premier BRAND was TO submit to the
statesmen of England, Belgium, and
Italy, the complete plans France has
mapped out for coercing Germany to
meet the reparations demands on or
after May 1.

sured the delivery of commodities from

given adequate guarantees that the
goods they received from the Western

1t seems however, that Great Britain
will stand on the trade agreement just
negotiated by Sir Romert Horne and M.
Krassine. 1t was said in authoritative

the best Great Britain would do at this

NJ Krassine declined to forecast what
action his Government would take. but
said he thought he would be able to re-
turn to London within month. when,
he said. the agreement would either be
approved or rejected. In the latter
event, he said. he would close the offices
and affairs of his commission here and
return to Russia.
Sir Robert. Horne, after declaring that
he personally. was strongly In favor of
a resumption Of trade with the Russians.

agreement which had been drawn up.
"It only awaits approval or rejection by

Representations made by the French
Government to the State Department

plated occupation of the Ruhr Basin Is
Interpreted here as meaning the French
propose to act In their controversy with
Germany over her failure TO dsarm be-
fore Pres.dent-elect Harding assumes
office and thus present fdit accompH
to the new Admin istration.
This apparent intention OF France TO
take action to enforce the terms of the
Versailles pact is expected to meet Wig
orous opposition from the Wilson Ad-
ministration so long as It remains In
office.
On December 31 the Government OF
France submitted to the United States
a definite recital OF certain failures on
the part II Germany to live up to the
Versailles pact The maintenance OF
the civil militia in Bavaria was one OF
the complaints.
While the State Department has not
decided whether the United States can
be represented properly at any discus
sion among the allied Powers concern
ing the German attitude. this will not
prevent Independent action on the part
of the United States. The position Of
the State Department Is that Germany
should not be pressed to execute fea-
lures of the treaty which could be
shown to be patiently impossible of full
hlment,
