Police Headquarters last night, charged
with robbing Sidney Claman, eighteen
years old, of 325 West Seyenty-seventh
Street, said to be the son of well-to-
do real estate operator.
Claman, at first reported to the police
that he had been robbed of his money,
watch and chain by three strange
italians. He later alleged that he had
been robbed by Dix. Phillips and Loeb.
He then told the police that he left his
fathers Office with s1,099 at o'clock
Monday morning. intending to deposit
it in a bank at Broadway and Eighty
sixth Street. Dix and Loeb, who were
his friends, met him, he said, and took
him to their furnished room in West

drew jackknife and demanded that he
turn over his money. After the money
had been taken, Loeb is charged with
stealing the young mans watch Dix

FROM Ihc Trfbune's Washington Bursn..
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.--The Senate
Committee on Commerce to-day refused
to inaugurate an investigation of the
affairs of the Shipping Board, as pro-
vided in the resolution of Senator
La Toilette.
Members decided that such an inves-
tigation would be unwise at this time
and destructive rather than construc-
tive. At the same time the committee
decided to meet Wednesday night and
consider mass of data which the
Shipping Board will present for the
purpose of demonstrating that the
board is making headway.
sharp response to the criticism
voiced by Senator Calder in his ad-
dress in New York last night was made
to-day by Charles Piez, former di-
rector general of the Emergency Fleet
corporation, who appeared before the
Shipping Boards claims committee to
testify on the wood ship contract case.
Senator Calder could not go into
new business and make profit the
first year." Mr.. Piez said. "You can
not expect crops Immediately after

criticism of the Shipping Board is not
justified. If we haven't got confidence
in the Shipping Board let's scuttle the
whole business; if we have confidence
let's talk we'll of it,
Wooden ship builders during the war
were told by responsible officials of
the Emergency Fleet Corporation that
the government would keep them busy
laying keels and that all their expendi-
tures for plants and materials would
be justified, the claims committee was
told by former executives of the cor
poration, who appeared as witnesses in
the hearing on the claim of the Tampa
Dock Company. Mr.. Piez, Willard
McNitt, former assistant and later
general counsel, and Roy H. Beattie, in
charge of wood ship construction, testi-
fed as to their knowledge of the verbal
agreements made whereby these ship
constructors went ahead on tentative
program.

Fight for Share
OF Hanna Estate
Photographic Copy of Will
Is Made After Charge
of Attempt to Blot
Out Certain Provisions

WHITE PLAINS. N. Y, Nov. t5.--A
Photographic reproduction of the will
of Dan r. Hanna was made to-day in the
Surrogate's Court on demand of Banton
Ferguson & Moore, attorneys. of ITO
William Street, Manhattan. acting for
Miss June Avis Evans. Miss Evans
contends that under the will she is en-
titled to the house, horses, automp-
biles and large amount of personal
property of the extensive estate in
Westchester County.
According to the attorneys for Miss
Evans there is an attempted cancella-
tion at the top of the will which Is
written on foolscap paper and covered
with blots used by the decedcnt in
making erasures and cancellations. The
alleged cancellation notation reads:
Below provisions Cancelled this day
D. r. Hanna"
Writing Badly Blotted
1t was said yesterday by attorneys
handling Miss Evans's interests that
the notation bore no witnesses sigma
lures. A representative of the attor-
neys for Miss Evans attempted to de-
cipher the marginal writings on the will
which was SO badly blotted that it could
be read only by holding the paper
against strong light.
Leslie c. Ferguson, in charge for the
law firm, said the will apparently gave
Miss Evans, who was living ut the
Croft estate, Waterfowl. N. Y, at the
time of Mr.. Hanna's death, and who
was, according to the terms of the
will, to have been married to him as
soon as he was able to marry again,

house and other property.
Will Provided Trust Fund
Mr.. Hanna is said to have provided
in the will that fund should be set
aside TO provide the annual income of
S25,000 to be paid Miss Evans for life.
Under the blots, however, appeared a
notation which read:
Should she marry, this instrument
is to become null and void. witnessed
H. W. Foster and D. r. HANNAH.
Other writing, interspersed with
blots, declared it was the intention of
Mr.. Hanna to marry Jane Avis Evans.
Also biotted out we're words to the
effect that the property at the estate
was to go to Miss Evans, and this
clause also was witnessed by Hanna
and Foster.
Mr.. Ferguson said his firm intended
taking every possible step to secure
for Miss Evans the bequests made to
her in the will
1t was said yesterday by persons
familiar with Mr.. Hanna's affairs, that
before his death he transferred his
big country estate, "The Croft" at
orktown, Westchester County, to other
hands. A search of the records gave
no evidence of such transfer having
been made.
