Paris, Jan. 4.
sensation was caused in Govern
ment and high social circles to-day by
the arrest in Nancy OF NJ. Vilgrain,
formerly Under Secretary of State in
the Clemenceau Government, and
Food Administrator, wEo is charged
with having deserted from his regi-
ment after wounding himself with a
revolver shot in the early days of the
war. The arrest was precipitated by
a Deputy in the Chamber publicly
charging that Vilgrain deliberately
mutilated himself SO as to escape mill
tary duty in the war.
An investigation was baked for
several months by the mysterious dis
appearance Of Lieut.. Vilgrain's mill
tary record from the Ministry of War
and also by the theft of confidential
reports made by officers from the
regimenta1 headquarters, but these
were finally located and, according to
the court-martial officials In Nancy
give amplest proof Of Migrants guilt
and the completely Of other high Gov
ernment officials in his efforts to evade
military service.
Vilgrain insists that while he was
carrying a message from his regi-
mental commanders just before they ex-
pected to go into battle he was at

Their .predicament probably will be
considered to-day by a board of special
inquiry. and the same outcome as In the
Russian cases is expected.
Friends of all three families have in
terceded for them and will ask Secretary
of Labor Davis to admit them under the
same conditions as the LOO aliens were
admitted on Christmas Eve In case OF
failure of the appeals from the special
inquiry board.
Curiously enough, the Kalmanowiches
and the Schpigels hold the red tape OF
American immigration laws responsible
for the fact that their children were
born in Turkey. and therefore responsi-
BILE in turn for the fact that they are In
the tolls of tape now. Kalmonowich
and Schpigel declared that 1t took them
almost a year to obtain wise of their
passports from the American Consul in
Constantnople.
Had it not been for that delay" they
laughed. you see. our children would
have been born In America instead of
Turkey. and we could have complied

her If she did not wish to ride in his

went into the house with her.
In the hallway, according TO the story
told to the police by Ritz they met a
young man later identified as George )
Phillips. a clerk who said he lived in
the Hotel Ansonia, Broadway and Sew

seemed TO be old friends and Phillips
was invited to come along to her apart {

his hand, instead of trying to capture
his assailant. but he carelessly failed
to take the cyclists name. The military
authorities were only informed OF this
alleged attack several weeks after II
was represented as having occurred.
When Vilgrain was dismissed from
the hospital where he was sent for
treatment he was treated as hero
and an important post in the Food Min
istry was given 10 him, thanks 10 his
influential friends.
When the French reserve officers
were depleted however, Vilsrain was
remobilized for active service, but he
pleaded that he had developed a bad
case of appendicitis. although the ex-
amining doctors declared his symptoms
were such that It was doubtful OF IL
being case of appendicitis. However.
they recommended that he receive hos

Again Migrants friends came to his
rescue Minister Violette signing re-
quest that the Lieutenant be allowed
to renain at the duties to which he
had been assigned in the Food Ministry
irstead Of being operated on. To this
the medical examiners agreed. intending

A few weeks later Yilgrain became
under secretary of the Food Ministry
and directed the distribution OF food
stuffs until after the armistice. He was
prominent in the work of liquidating
the army supplies and created the sys-
tenn OF units along the boulevards and
principal streets. in which timed food
supplies were sold at cost price.
Vilgrain was charged with completely
in wheat specula tions last year. In these
speculations it was charged that he
gained millions of francs at the expense
of the State. No decision had been made
ir connection with these charges. al
though one is expected soon.

PINCH0TS CALLED
REQUEST GRABBERS'
Shearn Attacks Brothers for
Their Attempt to Break
Emo Will.

Clarence J. Shearn attacked Amos r.
Z. Pnchot and his brother, Clifford Pin
chot, formerly United States Forestry
Commission, in his argument yesterday
before Surrogate Foley in the contest OF
the will of Amos F. Emo. which the Pin
chots and other relatives are trying to
break. Mr. Shearn accused them of
coming into court and trying so seize the
bequests that Mr. Emo made to various
public institutions after they had al
ready received large sums from the es-
tate. Mr.. Shearn is chief of counsel for
the executors of the will.
Amos and Clifford Pinchot are the sons
of Mrs. Mary Pinchot. who was a sister
of Amos r. Emo, the father of Amos F..
Emo. Amos r. Emo left an estate OF
SIS. 100000 of. which Mr.. Shearn said
Amos F. Emo received only $4,000. 900,
while the Pinchots and the other contes-
tants received mere than $14 4.0o0,0 900.
Under tho will of Amos f. Emo they
received about $f.600,000 more.
The \charitable bequests which Mr.
Shearn accused the Pinchots Of trying to
seize include s250.000 each to the Metro
politan Museum of Art, the American
Museum of Natural History. the Asso
citation for Improving the Condition of
the Poor and New York University. and
the residue. about $4,000, 900, to Column
bia University. o,f
Here Is this family represented py
the contestants" said Mr. Shearn, who.
having received total of more than
S19, 100000, are now coming into court
and trying to grab the bequests to these
great public institutions Of New York.
This Is fight between these people and
these great public institutions. In order
to defeat the will they have hired the
ablest trial lawyer in New York to come
into court and paint n picture Of In
sanity. For mere money they are
smearing the name and reputation Of
one of their kin and their benefactor
by picturing him as victim of insane
senile dementia."
Mr.. Shearn said Mr.. Emo had often
remarked that his nephews. Clifford and
Amos Pinchot weren't worth a damn"
and that he was opposed to their Ideas
and principles and had no sympathy
with what he termed the parlor social
ism of Amos Pinchot. He disapproved
of them. Mr.. Shearn said, as types of the
man turned out by Eastern colleges.
Mr.. Shearn read the will and declared
the document itself offered the strongest
evidence of Mr.. Eno's testamentary ca
pacity and that 1t was well balanced.

of his fortune.
