State May Collect ON
Property Left by Steel
King in Other States
Have Paid $1,978,94O
Must Meet Inheritance Tax
on Paintings Given TO
the City of New York


PITTSBURGH, July 10.-~The estate
of Henry G. Frick is required to pay
additional s1,18s,24s.16 in inheritance
tax to the State Of Pennsylvania under
a decision handed down by Judge
Mitchell Of the Orphans Court Of Allie
gheny County. The estate has paid nj
ready to the state $1,978,91071.
The feature of the decision of the
court was that the state has the right
to collect inheritance tax on the prop
crty owned in other states by n resi-
dent of Pennsylvania.
There were four contentious in the
case. The estate claimed exemption
from inheritance tax on property in
New York and Massachusetts,, described
in the decision as consisting Of works
of art paintings, furniture, books and
automobiles and including the paint
ines bequeathed to the city of New
York to be maintained as the Frick
collection by that city" The portion
of property mentioned, which is in New
York, is valued at $13,2l0,209, and the
Massachusetts, property at 1926, ,53425
The inheritance tax rate on the prop
erty presented to the city of New
York is per cent On most of the be-
quests to individuals the rate is 2 per
cent.
Judge Mitchell holds in his decision
that under the act of June 20, 1919
the state has the right to collect in
heritance tax on property of a de-
ceased resident Of Pennsylvania, no
matter in what state it may be To-
Gated. Several Supreme Court de-

trust Mr. Croker withdrew from Rich
ard jr. the control OF his affairs in
this country and turned it over to his
second wife. The children did not OBJ
ject to this, they said. After this ac-
ton. it is charged, Mr.. Croker was
turned away from his children by in
fluence exerted by Mr.. Crokers Indian
bride.
Mrs. White and Howard Croker then
say:
eve realize now that it was essen
tial that the friendly and affectionate
relations existing between our father
and his children must be broken up if
his entire fortune was to be diverted
from them. We were familiar with the
part our brother Richard had played
In managing our fathers affairs, as
we'll as his management of the trust
estate, and knowing the malicious in
fiuence being exerted on our father we
naturally supported Richard. Our Sis
ter Florence, who was not in this coun-
try for fifteen years, was not familiar
with the situation and did not know
the facts as we know them. She was
guided entirely by the suggestions
made or the views held by our father
and his wife and had no other source
of information in the matter.
'Our aWlCuQe Win respect TO the
revocation of the trust agreement has
been sustained by the Supreme Court
in this State in the litigation com
menced by our brother Richard to ac-
count as trustee under said trust. The
court distinctly held that our father
had no right to revoke the trust agree
ment and that upon his death the prin-
cipal Of the trust fund must be divided
among the three children mentioned.
"The copy of the will as published
In the newspapers shows that no pro-
vision whatever was made for any of
the children, even Florence. The paper
referred to as codicil is merely a
note written on the stationery that
our father was accustomed to use in
Ireland. In this note the suggestion
is made that Florence be remembered
We are informed that the note is no
part of the will and is wholly inef-
fective. The publication of the note
apparently is made for the purpose
of showing that our father had not
turned against all his children. The
omission to include Florence in the
| will, however, Is obvious and signif
cant.
1--WE intend joining with our brother
Richard in contest of the will, which
has been filed in Florida"

Mystery in killing
OF Two After Party
New Brunswick Police Find No
Motive for Birthday Celc-
bratiOn Shaving

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j., July TO-.
No motive has been established so far
in the shooting to death of two men
early to-day following birthday party
at the home of John Mauro, of High
land Park, Mauro's guests started to
leave the house soon after midnight
1t was said that some of them had been
drinking heavily. Mauro was standing
near the door of his home when he
heard three shots. He ran to the door
and three more shots were fired, strik-
ing him in the head. He was killed in
stantly.
The few remaining guests hurried to
the street and carried Mauro into the
house. A search of the vicinity for the
assalant revealed the body of Joseph
Voce. He had three bullets In his jaw
and neck
All the men who attended the party
were questioned by the police. Con-
cietto Georgiano was taken from his
bed and placed under arrest. He had a
bullet wound in the right hand. Geor-
gano was said to have had ill feeling
toward Mauro. He told The police that
this was untrue and that after he left
the party he heard the shots and in
trying to take the revolver away from
a man was shot in the right hand. He

The tax due from the requests OF
the "Frick collection" to the City OF
New York, valued at s13,132,391, is
$656,619.55.
A second contention Of the state was
that the amount paid by the estate
to the Federal government in taxes
amounting TO about se,o0o,O0O, should
be deducted from the value of the es-
tate before levying the state tax
Judge Mitchell upholds the claim of the
state that the deduction should not be
made and the state tax should be com
puted on the full value Of theestate

sion gives the value of the specific be
quests, including bequests to the city

Three Croker
Children Unite
TO Contest Will
Howard. Ethel and Richard
Issue Statement DecIar-
ing 10000 Gift TO Their
Sister Florence Is Invalid
Blame Widows Influence
Believe Their Refusal to Re-
woke Trust Agreement,
Is the Only Other Reason

The three children of Richard Croker
who were ignored in his will announced
yesterday that they had united to con
test it. The will was filed last Satur-
day in West Palm Beach, Fla.
In a statement issued last night by
the late Mr.. Crokers daughter. Mrs.
Ethel c. White, and his son, Howard
Croker, after a conference with Rich
ard Croker, at his once at 331 Madi-
son Avenue, the opinion was expressed
that their fathers Indian bride had in
fluenced him against them, and that
they could think of only one other
possible reason for the omission of
their names in his will. This was
their unwiiingness to accede to their
fathers request that the trust agree
ment made between him and their
mother be revoked and that the trust
funds be sent to him.
The will filed in Florida bequeathes
all property real and personal, to Mr.
Croker's wife, Bula r. c.. Croker. A
Mrs. Florence Croker Morris, the sum
of 10000. This the other children de-
clare is invalid.
In explaining their position the pros
pective contestants say:
"Our fathers second marriage oc-
Cured in November of 1914, about two
months after the death Of our mother
snd while he was living at the family
residence with his children in this city
Between the date of the marriage and
the date given for the will the only
thing that had occurred between our
father and US which could in any way
have offended him was our refusal to
accede to his request made In the year
4
made by both our parents in the year
1909. This trust agreement provides
that the principal Of the trust, now
some $133,000, should be divided
among the three children-Ethel, Flor
ence and Howard, on the death of both
parents.
an 1917 our father insisted that this
trust be revoked and that. the trust
funds be sent to him. We visited our
father for the purpose Of discussing
this matter, and informed him that we
were unwilling to have the trust re-
voked, and wished to have our brother,
Richard, continue as trustee and to
have the trust funds kept intact, SO
that the arrangement made by our de-
ceased mother would be carried out.
"a large part Of the trust fund had
been contributed by our mother out of
her own resources. The purpose of
both parents in the trust agreement
was to provide for the three younger
children upon the death of the parents.
While our father was disappointed at
our refusal to consent to the revoca-
tion of the trust agreement, he re-
mained on most friendly terms with us
and was quite friendly in the month of
October, 1919"

FORD BUILDS OWN
WINDSHIELD GLASS

The Ford Motor Company, Detroit,
has begun to manufacture its own
plate glass, and already has in opera
tion the first modern glass house ever
equipped especially to make glass for
automobiles.
As is customary when taking over
the manufacture of a new product
Ford has applied his own principles
of production and as a consequence,
the methods and machinery used in
making Ford glass are a radical de-
parture from established practice.
The Ford continuous c%onveyor sys.
TEN features the operations so that
from the time the glass leaves the fur
mace until il becomes a polished wind.
shield, it is always moving.
Glass making, when viewed in the
Ford plant, looks to be very simple.
The ray materials are introduced into
the furnace where they become a mott
en- mass. Drawn from the furnace in
a semi-liquid state, the glass passes
under a roller, which gives it width
and thickness and on to a moving
conveyor. This carries it for AGA feet
through n gradually cooling furnace.
At the end, it is cut and placed on
through the grinding and polishing,
after which it is ready for use.
This adds a new link to the fast
growing chain of Ford industries
which are being established and ex-
banded from time to time in line with
the Ford policy to achieve complete
independence of outside material
sources in manufacturing Ford pro-
duets and at the same time are the
means by which Ford is enabled to
use in the production of motor cars,
trucks and tractors material of un-
usually high quality and sell them at
the famous Ford prices.
