New York. Nov. 16.--Seyeral certi-
fled copies and photographs OF the will
of Dan r. Hanna were made yesterday
in the Office OF Surrogate Slater in
White Plains at the request OF Barton
Ferguson 4 Moore, attorneys for Miss
June Avis Evans Of Chicago, whose
name is mentioned in the will. At.
tempts apparently were made to blot
out the name.
According to statements made in
Chicago by Miss Eyans's relatives, she
became engaged to Mr. Hanna last
April, and was to have become his
fifth wife In October.
Leslie G. Fergusout who Is in charge
of the matter for the law firm, said
the will apparently gave to Miss
Evans, who was living at the Hanna
estate in Westchesteg when the fin
ancier and publisher died an income
of $4,000 a year for life in addit on to
the estate and other property. Mr..
Ferguson said the win also provided
that II Mr.. Hanna died before he was
able to marry Miss Evans a trust fund
should be set aside to provide the an
nual income of s25 001 Under the
blots, however, Mr.. Ferguson said he
had been able to decipher this nota-
tior
Should she marry, however, this
instrument IS to become null and void.

That part Of the Hanna will in which
the name OF Miss Evans is mentioned,

in some places than in Others, has been
deciphered as follows:
"And give. bequeath and devise In
equal shares to my VIE, should have

IN paragraph G. 1t being my intention
10 marry June Avis Evans" The
words that Immediately follow are
b.otted and then can be read: Should
die before such marriage takes place,
instruct my executors TO provide
trust"-and then there are heavy
blots.
The blot apparently are an attempt
to cancel some of the provisions oil

PREMIER BRAND
|NTRODuCEsLAND
FORCE QUESTION
Says Army Problem Is Far More
Vital to France
STAND NOT FULLY STATED
Satisfies Conferees Nation Has
No Thought of Disturb
ing World Peace
STAND NOT FULLY STATED

Washington, Nov. 16.-France took
the first step yesterday toward bring
ing the question of land armaments,
OF armies before the Washington con.
ference.
In concurrlng for France in the es-
sential principles Of the American pro-
posals regarding naval establishments,
Premier BRAND touched upon the
army problem as far more vital to
France. BY agreement NJ. BRAND.
probably at public session of the
conference later this week, viii pres,
ent most fully as Secretary Hughes
stated, "the views OF France with re-
gard to the subject of land armamentj
which we must discuss"
There was no intimation In the re-
marks of NJ. BRAND that he had a
definite plan for reduction OF arma-
ments to suggest. He did say, how
ever, that he was satisfied that the
conferees would be convinced that
France, after the necessities of safety
and life had been adequately secured,
harbors no thought whatever of dis
turhing the peace of the world"
M. Brands statements were con
strued generally as showing his pur-
pose to explain fully why France re-
CARDS it necessary to retain the great
force in her armies. AS the nation
with the largest army, the premier
pointed out today, it was appropriate
for her to take that question up, but
neither at the conference, nor in any
other quarter is there suggestion
that any such sweeping proposal for
reduction Of armies is to be expected
as the naval plan put forward by the
United States.
SO fer as the United States is con-
cerued, the army question is largely
academic. The American army, now
far. below its, authorized strength of
100000 1Sien. is cut to the bone. Fur
ther reduction would be opposed by
both civil and military chiefs OF the
war department. No American plan of
army reduction will be presented and
II may be that there will be on'y
nomna. discussion of the subject.

IN THE GUNMAN'S FAVOR

Editor Tribune:-The letter re-
garding the Sullivan law signed
"Grand Juror" in one of your recent
issues, is an excellent argument for
its repeal.
If a gunman is caught with an
automatic on his person he is charged
with a misdemeanor, as he would be
We're he caught splitting or smoking III
the subway; also, he would be no
more guilty that Mr.. Householder
who had a similar weapon in his
home to protect his family and prop
erty from the gunman. If the thug
enters Mr.. Householder's home and is
caught in the act of committing rob-
berry he is guilty of a felony if con-
victed of the robbery, and though
"Grand Juror" does not make it clear
what the punishment would be-pos-
sibly slap on the wrist.
The burglar, gunman, highwayman
or whatever may be the speciality of
the criminal is a disregarder of law
by nature or inclination, and his oc-
cupation requires the possession of
gun or other effective weapon. AS
he knows. he. runs the risk of electro
cution in the use of the weapon what
folly it is to think that he will be
deferred by the remote possibility of
being caught beforehand by police
man with concealed weapon, and, if
so caught, being liable for a misde-
meanori
The ordinary citizen, on the con-
trary, is law abiding, and would not
keep in his home the weapons neces-
sary to protect his family and prop
erty from criminals. The Sullivan
law, therefore, works out in such
manner as to protect the law-breaker
and make the law-abiding citizen a
helpless victim. No doubt in Colonial
times the savages of those days (the
hostile Indians) would have welcomed
Mr.. Sullivan's law.
Statistics are not at hand, but it
'sSAAN pA0DdoiS OS lHdI
gun play and murders in the streets
have taken place since the Sullivan
law went into effect than ever before.
There must be some interesting
story behind this Sullivan law. Why
was it desired that citizens of New
York should not be allowed to possess
arms? Is the law constitutional?
God grant that the Allied nations
be not tricked into some disarmament
agreement which would turn out to
be great international Sullivan law
for the protection and encouragement
of criminal nations!-Archibald c.
Foss, in the New York Tribune.
The mollycoddles and bureaucrats
in our state will never be satisfied
until they fasten similar law on US.
