Importer and Social Leader
10 Contest Will Devising
Several Million Dollars
TO Four Other Children

RiVFRHEAD, l.. l., Oct. 5.--Grosvc-
nor Nicholas, we'll knowh New York
importer and prominent in Sonthan1p-
ton society, said tonight that he would
contest tho will of his father, George
+. Nicholas, who cut him off without
cent ''because OF his unfilial atti-
tude." Four other children we're named
as beneficiaries. The elder Nicholas
died last month at the age OF. eighty

This was decidedly against my wishes.

ing s, II.
For many years my father, who had
reached an advanced age, was not at
his best mentally. The will was made
out on October IA, 1921, less than a
year before he died. MY four brothers
and sisters get only che income Of the
estate. but are allowed to will away
the principal. Does II sound reason
able that man il full possession OF
his faculties would permit his property
to eventually go to persons he never
had seen or heard Of"
MI, Nicholas pointed out the fact
that his father also omitted from his
bequests his three grandchildren, all
children of Grosvenor Nicholas.
"In the firm there were several old
and faithful employees, some of whom
had worked for my father for thirty
years or more," he continued, "and
they had expected that they would be
taken care of in their old age. Not
cent was left to them. The family
servants were also forgotten. There
were no charitable bequests."
The will was filed to-day 9or probate
in the Surrogate's Court. The value
of the estate is not known, but it is
supposed to total several millions. The
testator's horses, automobiles. jewelry,
etc, are left to his two daughters,
Elizabeth T. and Virginia T. Nichols,
and the residue is placed in trust with
the Farmers Loan & Trust Company of
New York. 1t is divided into four
equal parts, the income from which
goes to the daughters and two other

Calder Points Out Big
Saving by Republicans
Cost of Government Cut
Sl,50O, 100000 by the Ad.
ministratiOn. He Saws

Declaring that neither the consumer
nor the business man can stand any
further increase in the cost of gov
ernment, Senator William M. Calder,
In an address before the Lions Club at
the Hotel Martinique yesterday, point
ed out the economies effected by the
Harding Administration and estimated
the total saving to taxpayers at more
than one and one-half billion dollars.
Senator Calder pointed to this saw
ing as conclusive answer to the
charge that Congress had done nothing
during the last session, and insisted
that If nothing more had been ac-
complished the session just ended
would need no further justification.
In addition to this accomplishment,
however, Senator Calder said it had
cut off much other waste, both in ap-
preparations and by reducing the num-
Der of government employees. Credit
for many of these savings was given
by the speaker to General Dawes, who
as Director of the Budget did much to
cut down on department appropria-
tions.
All of Senator Calder's short ad-
dress was devoted to a discussion of
the Federal government and it's prob
lens. He did Aot refer to the coming
campaign, although he himself is a
candidate for reelection, saying that
before a group Of business men such
as he was addressing he appreciated
an opportunity to discuss the business
affairs of the national government.

Day Says He Quits
AS Dry Official to
Run Own Business
Cloak and Suit Concern to
Take His Entire Time;
Expects His Successor To
Be Named Next Week

Ralph A. Day, Federal prohibition
director of the state of New York,
denied yesterday reports that his resig~
nation was due to anything but press
of private business affairs.
"The only reason for my resigning,"
said Mr.. Day yesterday, "was the fact
that l wanted to be able to devote
more time to my cloak and suit busi-
ness, r. A. Day & Co., at 1876 Madi-
son Avenue. There have been rumors
that l was going to give up this busi-
entirely. wish to set these runors
at rest. In the future I am going
to devote all my time to this business.
u am staying in Office until Novem-
Der at the request Of Prohibition Com
missioner Haynes"
Commenting on the report that he
was said to have connections with io
liquor interests, Mr.. Day said:,
"One man ! borrowed money from
soon after taking Office, for the pur-
pose Of using it in my private business,
ls a member Of the Republican Club
and man have known several wears.
he was not connected with the liquor
traffic either before or since the pas
sage Of the prohibition law. This loan
was perfectly legitimate one, and I
have paid back the money advanced,
with the regular interest. At no time
was this man at the prohibition Of
fees"
Asked about the selection Of his sue
cessor, Mr.. Day said he had his own
ideas on the matter which he hoped
would materialize but that at present
he did not know who the man would
be. He said it was possible that the
name would be announced next week
and added that he was sure it would not
be anyone who has yet been suggested
publicly.
Referring to the suspension on We'd
nesday of six local enforcement agents.
Mr.. Day said two more probably would
be added to this list. Their cases are
under investigation, he said, and as
soon as he receives the report, he will
take action.

More than 5000 women were enter
tanned in the homes of thirty-iive New
\ ork bankers wives and their friends.
Many town houses were opened for the
day. The season has been SO warm that
many families have not yet returned
to the city, but promises made last
summer to Mrs. Dwight w. Morrow,
chairman Of the women's reception
committee, were kept faithfully, and
all the hostcsses were on hand to greet
the visitors. No entertainment other
than the luncheon was provided. but
the guests from out Of town met and
chatted with their hostesses before and
after the luncheon.
Spent Afternoon Shopping
The women spent yesterday after
noon doing their last bits Of shopping,
the demand being great for toy shops
and stores where candy and gifts for
the children at home could be pur-
chased. Women of the New York com
anittce we're at hand in the drawing
room to guide the strangers in these
intricate processes, writing out the
names of favorite shops and directions
for reaching them.
Another much valued service was a
special note to favorite saleswoma1 an,

go home with their pick Of Fifth Ave-

yention has been showered with invi.

Arthur j. House. president Of the

trust company business in recent years
Henry NJ. Campbell, chairman of the
committee on legislation, called for
opposition to bills now before Con-

continuance of branches operated by

Safe Depisits Discussed
The growing hazards and liabilities
of conducting a safe deposit business
were, IN the opinion OF Waldron F.
Rand ir., vice. president Of tho Com.
monwcalth Trust Company, Bostons due
to the spirit Of competition, which m
duced many banks to open safe deposit
departments without sufficient investi-
CATION as to the cost OF construction
and the overhead expenses of mainlen-
nnce.
Mr.. Rand pointed out that while a
bank was not an insurer or guarantor
Of the safety Of the contents OF its
safe deposit vaults, the prevailing law
in this country was that bank sis
required to use that degree Of care
in The safe keeping Of the property
deposited therein which is demanded
from bailee for hire in the keeping
Of valuable property"
Mr.. Sisson, preliminary to discussing
the progress of trust company adver-
tising and publicity, introduced mo-
tion, which was adopted, reiterating
the divisions opposition to the removal

Day
Not all the bankers wives smoked
the cigarettes.~but 1t was nice TO have

They're Strong for New York
The out-of-town women, as they re-
turned to the Hotel Commodore and
crowded into the wonen's drawing
room, were enthusiastic over the good
time they had had at the luncheons.
: "You can say for the Western
women" said Mrs V. T. Barker, wife Of
the president of the Home Savings
Bank, OF Kalamazoo, Mich, "that we
are more than grateful for the kind
ness of the New York women, and that
everything they planned for us, from,
the minute Of our arrival to these de-
