LEASE is ABOLISHED
Florida Senate Adopts House Bill Il
Vote OF "A to o

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, May 16.-
The senate passed today "a to a
house bill to abolish" the state
convict lease system. The bill
merely was to clarity the status,
as the practice was really abolished
in 1919. The bill now goes to the
governor.
Representative Davis, author of
the bill, declared he thought.
although the practice had been done
away with, the present session.
while working on the subject OF
convicts in general, should remove
any ambiguous construction that
might possibly placed on the exist
ing statutes should the occasion
arise. No discussion marked the pas
sage of the bill in either house.

Second Wife, Whom 1t Cost
1000, 900 To Wed, Pres
ent As Death Comes

MENTONE, France, May 10
George ]. Gould is dead. The Amer
lean financier and sportsman died at
his villa near here early Wednesday
morning after a long fight against
death.
Vera Sinclair Gould. the second
wife. whom it cost three million dol
lars of his fortune to marry, was
present when he died.
Although Gould was rated as sew
eral times a millionaire, he was not
nearly so wealthy as when the great
head of the house of Gould, Jay
Gould, the railroad builder, died in
1892, leaving an estate of $4,000, 900
to 30 heirs. Benefieiaries of Jay
Gould declared the fortune had
dwindled to s25,O0o.o0o.
y peculiar clause in the will of Jay
Gould caused many disputes among
the heirs. The elder Gould. feeling,
perhaps. that his children might rush
into marriage, stipulated that any
heir who wed without the consent of
the administrators OF the estate
would lose half his share.
George Gould tried to enforce this
provision on his brother Frank who
the latter married Edith Kelly. an
actress.
Removed rs Trustee.
SlSleTS anu DrOlHeTS OF the late
financier became dissatisfied with the
way he had been handling the estate
and sued for an accounting. In 1922
Gould was removed as trustee OF the
estate. He sued for s644,904 for a
share of the income from certain
properties. but the appellate division
restrained him from pressing the
suit.
Mrs. Finley ,J. Shepard. a sister, was
the only one of the heirs. who re-
fused to join in the litigation
against him. The Duchess of Tai
!erand another sister, was partcu-
larly active.
When Gould married Miss Sinclair,
an actress, over a year ago in Lake
wood, n. j., he lost two valuable
pieces OF property worth approXi-
mately sS,O00.0O0. He had given
these to his first wife. Edith Kingdom
Gould, an actress, who dropped dead
playing tennis over two years ago.
The first wife left the properties to
Gould with the provision that he
never remarry.
Second Marriage secret.
The second marriage was secret
and the three children by the first
wife-Edith, Kingdom and George
Jr., regarded it almost as an eIope-
ment. They did not learn of it until
the pair, on a honeymoon in Paris
made the announcement
Several members of the Could FAM
lily were understood to have beer
very much opposed to the SECOND
marriage. Gould was SO and his bride

London in 1914.
