TOLD OF H. C. L. IN HEAVEN
"voice From Tomb" Persuades French
Widow to Place 500 Francs on
Husbands Grave.

Paris.-Because of her readiness to
believe that even in heaveia the cost
Of living had become a serious prob
lem a certain faithful French widow
came near being defrauded the other
day. Since the death of her husband
this woman had made 1t a rule to
make daily visit to his grave In the
Pere Lachaise Cemetery. But one day
while placing flowers on the mound
she was startled by hearing voice.
up here" the voice called out, ut
Is the same as upon the earth-every-
body wants money. On every hand
are people asking for tips. Dear
friend, can you let me have 800
francs?"
Having no money with her the
woman after struggling to overcome
her fear promised to bring some as
soc-. as possible and the voice replied
gratefully: Thank you."
The woman went home and told q
neighbor of her remarkable experience.
The neighbor thought while and then
advised the widow to do what the
voice had requested, but the neighbor
also went to the authorities and let
them In on the secret.
Gathering together the necessary
800 francs the widow piously placed
the money On the grave in purse and
went away. When she was out OF
sight young man stepped out from
behind nearby tombstone and took
up the purse. But the next thing he
knew a policeman had him by the
collar
It turned out that the young man
was a nephew of the widow, but at
the trial that followed she forgave him
and withdrew the charges when the
young mans wife with a baby in her
arms appealed to the widow for mercy.

Minneapolis, Minn.-Impersonati
an officer is the charge against
"Frenchy," a trained bear belonging
to George Harrison. During riotous
interlude, here are the things bruin
is alleged to have done:
Hustled an inebriated wayfarer
along home so brtskly that the man
sobered up and swore off.
Directed traffic at Seventh street
and Sixth avenue.
Helped himself to sundry tidbits at
candy stores and fruit stands.
At Seventh street and Sixth avenue
"Frenchy" planted himself at the In.
tersection and with paws as sema-
phOre arms began to direct traffic. He
was blithely ordering automobilists
around when his prospective landlord,
DR.. s. o. Lockwood, superintendent
Of the workhouse, drove up In car.
The superintendent knew righ
away that "Frenchy" wasn't a reai
traffic officer. Summoning two police
men he placed the bear under arrest
Then he called the patrol wagon and
"Frenchy" was hustled into 1t like
any other malefactOr.
Bruin spent the night In cell at
the North Side police station.

submarine then submerged, as she had
done after the Torrington was tor

sent for witness and asked him IL he
would like to see ship sink. For
the sake of getting some fresh air he
replied, "Yes," and he went up into
the coming tower and saw the Tora
short distance away. She did not,
however, sink until some time later.
Two or three days later another
vessel was sunk by gunfre. and again
the submarine submerged after the

FRENCH army COST
EXCEEDS BUDGET
Estimated Expenses in 1922
SOC, 900 Francs Too Much,
Says Report.
By the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
PARIS, February 2.-France's new
army bill, which was drawn up last
year, and discussion Of which is due
to Commence in the chamber of
deputies in a few days. has been
arousing considerable debate. since
the finance commissions report on
the measure became known. This
report seemed, to sho~ that the mill
tary expenses OF 1922 would exceed
the appropriations voted in the 1929
budget by a half million francs. The
chamber Hobbies grew excited over
and the socialists declared that the
bill would have to be Withdrawn and
revised. Premier Poincare. however.
has given assurance that the govern
ment will introduce the bill as soon
as the expense budget has been voted
One Of the most difficult points to
understand. according to some Of the
opponents of the measure, Is that
1929 budget are based on the ;upkeep
of an army of $4,000 men,, while
until the two-year service is re-
duced the number Of men under the
coiors will be 100000 men.
Louis Barthou. vice premier and
minister Of justice, appeared before
the finance commission today and ad-
mitted that the putting into force of
the new bill would increase military
expenses as compared with the 1929
budget, which established q situation
Of military electives inferior to the
normal number under the two-year
service act, the increase being $780,
100000 francs under certain heads
without counting allowances propos-
ed for numerous families. The hnance
commission suggested that the mem
bers of these numerous families
might be excluded from military
service. thus saving 215,000,000
francs.

CONTEST OVER EXECUTOR

Heirs Of the Widow of James J.

ST. PAUL. Minn., February g.
Heirs to the $12,00O.000 estate of the
late Mrs. Mary T. Hill, widow of
James j. Hill. the "empire builder"
went into probate court here yester-
day in the contest over appointment of
an executor for her estate.
Louis W. Hill, chairman of the
Great Northern railway, has asked
that he be named executor, while a
majority of the nine Hill children
oppose his selection and petition for
appointment OF the Northwestern
Trust Company of St Paul.
The seven heirs opposing Louis
Hill avowed their determination to
attack the validity of the gifts of
North Oaks Farm, the Hill country
estate, near here, appraised at $780,
900, and S738,000 in bonds made by
their mother to Louis January 8,

This means that when a constant "B"
