Seek to Prevent
Contest Of viii
Testament of Dwight ]. Par
tello to Be Construed by
d. C. Supreme Court.

Disposition of the estate and a
rare collection Of violins belonging
to Dwight ]. Partello. at one time
American consul to Germany, will
be settled by the District Supreme
Court at the request of the execu-
tors. who believe his daughter. the
Countess Carita Particle Won
Hurst, has forfeited her right to
participate in the estate.
Mrs. Flora B. Thompson and
George w. White, executors. base
the'r claim on a clause In the will
which stipulates that any legatee
who contests the will shall auto
matically exclude themselves from
its benefits.
The countess. now a Washing
tonian. received 5000 cash and an
annuity Of $500. and September %
she filed a protest to prevent pro-
bate of the will. This protest, the
executors claim. would exclude her
from participation in the estate un-
der the clause brought before the
court to interpret.
Mrs. Thompson, Dne of the ex-
ecutors, received $4,000 as her
share and Is accused by the
countess of exercising undue infiu-
ence over the aged consul.
Several of the v'olins are valued
roughly at $4,000. There also Is
collection of rare antiques and
gems.

Plan to Invite Russia
to Straits Control Parley

PARIS, Oct. Russia and all
other states bordering on the Black
Sea in all likelihood will participate
in a conference in November to regu-
late the future control of the Straits.
Premier Poincare proposed to Lord
Curzon today. the latter personally as
senting, that a general peace confer
ence between themselves and Turkey
to end the war be held in Scutari on
November 1. and the Straits confer
ence could be held at the same time
and place or later.
This epochal proposition. marking
the first time in modern history that
Russia will have any control over
the gateway which means life and
death to her. was discussed in Quai
D'Orsay this afternoon Immediately
after the foreign ministers agreed on
some concessions to the Turks regard
ing Thrace.
Accepted BY Curzon.
1t was not so extraordinary that
Premier Poincare. supported by the
Italian Charge d'Affaires CALI. urged
Russian participation in deciding the
future regime Of the Straits. but that
Lord Curzon accepted the suggestion
so warmly.
Premier Poincare declared that any
settlement regarding the future con-
troll of the Straits could not be per-
manent unless accepted by the Black
Sea Countries. He pointed out that
not all Of these interested nations
could participate in the general peace
conference. because they were never
at war with Turkey. and that a sepa-
rate conference would be necessary.
He said it would be impossible to
hold a separate Straits conference
without inviting the Black Sea coun-
tries.
Awaits British Cabinet.
Quai- D'Orsay announced tonight
that a separate Straits conference
already existed, as a tentative agree
ment had been approved by the Brit
ish foreign minister. although it had
not yet been approved by the British
cabinet
Associates OF Lord Curzon frankly
rather approved inviting the Black
Sea nations to a separate conference
and probably would recommend the
cabinet to accept, but what the deci-
sion Of the cabinet will be is uncer-
tain.
