WILL, UNOPENED
FOR II YEARS,
LEFT LARGE sum
Children of Merchant, Now
Dead, May Become Million
aires Under Terms.
BY International News Service.

WORCESTER, Mass, Aug. T.
There recently came to light in an
old Worcester homestead a dusty
and torn bit of parchment on which
was written the last will and testa-
ment of James Munro Schofield,
wealthy Scotch merchant. to James
Munro Schofield. I'd, of Worcester,
naming him as the sole legatee of an
estate valued at 100000 English
pounds. The tragedy Of the docu-
ment lay in the fact that the son
failed to open the envelope contain
ing the will. which he received in
the year 1S45.
The document was brought to the
attention of the son and daughter Uf
the beneficiary, William Bacon
Schofield and Mrs. E. D. Thayer,
both of Worcester, when they came
across the document in a secret
panel, which seventy-five years ago
would have made a millionaire of a
boy then recently from Scotland.
As result Of the finding of the
age-worn document the chances are
that the children of James Schofield,
I'd, will be millionaires.
James Munro Schofield. I'd, who
came to America In the early
thirties, paid no attention to possible
help that might have come from
the people at home. The immigrant
through his own endeavors, made
a fortune of his own by making a
place Of prominence in the business
world OF Worcester.
The two grandchildren are maxi
ing active preparation for a trip to
investigate their claim. The trip
abroad for Mrs. E. d. Thayer and
William Bacon Schofield will be in
the nature of a holiday, but at the
same time they will not neglect the
Scotch estate, which was denied
their father through freaky circum-
stances.

achievement in this direction being
to give one senile rat three new

The application of his system
for arresting decay in the human
body is now claimed to be equally
successful.

Prof. Steinachs operation. which

minutes with the aid of a local
anesthetic and in two hours the
patient is able to resume his ordi-
nary life. The operation for women
necessitates a few weeks of rest.
After the operation white hair
turns to its natural color, wrinkles
disappear, the face fills out and
takes on fresh color. The brain
of the patient is also reinvigorated.
Prof. Steinach's method for
men involves no grating. lie has
apparently proved that by merely
tying up the duct Of a certain life
