over HALF MILLION
TO EACH 7 CHILDREN
LATE GEO. GOULD

New York, Dec. 19-Supreme
Court Justice Davis today decided
that each of the seven children of
the late George J. Gould by his first
wife was entitled to $562,S71.35 from
the trust established by Jay Gould
in his Will for the benefit Of George
J. Gould and his other children.
Justice Davis also reserved a SINH
lar amount for the three children of
George ]. Gould by his second wife,
Mrs. Guinevere Sinclair Gould, now
on her way here from France, to
watch their interests. He ruled,
however, that the money was not to
be turned over to them, but was to
be held pending the end of the pres
ent litigation.
The court expressly stated that he
assumed without deciding" in view
of claims raised by opposing coun-
sci, that the children of the former
Guinevere Sinclair were entitled to
share in the trust bequeathed their
father by their paternal grandfather.
Today's decision was rendered on
motions recently submitted by at
torneys for Gloria Gould Bishop, Jay
Gould and Edith Gould Wainwright.
George J. Gould's share of the
trust was established by his father,
Jay Gould. who died in 1892, and is
now held as a separate trust, its de-
tention pending litigation between
other Gould heirs and the George J.
Gould estate. This continued litiga-
ton, the court was told. had placed
some of the decedent's children in
an embarrassing position financially.
Justice Davis said that the mar
ket value of the remainder of the
estate, which constitutes the George
J. Gould trust, is $S,452, 7465S.

BRITAIN WORRIED
over TREND EVENTS
IN AFCHANISTAN

London, Dec. 19.-(By A. P)-
The turbulent northwestern frontier
of India is again causing apprehen-
sion to the British government, the
result of strained relations with
Afghanistan. Unless a satisfactory
settlement is reached the British
minister to Kabul will be Withdrawn,
it is declared.
For several weeks the British have
been exerting upon the afghan gov
ernment in order to bring about the
punishment of the fanatical bandits
who are responsible for a series of
murders of British officers and wom-
en- at widely separated outposts along
the frontier during the last year.
Three of the victims have been wom-
en- and the public both in India and
England is incensed against the out
RACES, which have gone unpublished.
Although the crimes are not direct
ly traceable to Afgahn government
agents, the desperadoes who raided
the British side of the frontier have
taken refuge in Afghan territory and
have even been welcomed and shell
tered at the capital, the Moslem in
habitants there, according to reports
received by the British, being ready
to pay tribute to anybody who takes
the life of Christian.
The condition of Kabul Is so acute
that the British women attached to
the legation and the one American
woman there were sent out of the
country by motor car and have ar
rived at Peshawar
At Bombay a shipment of arms
destined for Kabul has been stopped
in accordance with the Anglo Afghan
treaty. which, provides for such ac-
ton in case of unfriendliness be-
tween the countries.
The possibility of a punitive eXpe-
ditlon into Afghanistan is denied by
British officials. Campaigning there
is beset with the greatest difficulties
and has not always been successful,
but if a settlement is not forthcoml
ing the Khyber Pass will probably
be closed to all trade so long as the
frontier murders remain unpunish-
ed.
The British believe the diplomatic
pressure which is being exerted
against Kabul is producing results.
The Amir has sent a column of
troops to the Landi Kotal district to
cooperate with the Indian troops in
searching for the murderers, who are
datti. A@
Kabul is almost denuded of troops
for the expedition, and there is great
excitement over the new compul-
sorry recruiting scheme under which
one man in eight is conscripted for
the army.
