CROKER WILL NOW
 ACCEPTED AS TRUE
Widow Wins Step in Court and Will Qualify as Administratriz

West Palm Beach, Fla, July 1s.-- Three children of Richard Croker former Tammy chieftain, lost another step in their contest of his will when Country Judge R. P. Robbins admit ted to probate here yesterday the will he made on October 12, 1919, at Glencairn, his estate in Dublin, Ire- land, bequeathing to his widow, Mrs. Bula E. Croker, his entire estate valued at $1o,ooo,ooo.
 Accepted as the last will and testa- ment of the late political boss, it re- >okes all other such documents. The three children, Richard, Jr. Howard long court fight to overturn the will on grounds that Mrs. Croker, his sec- ond wife, exerted undue influence over her husband in his later years, and other charges, announced through their attorney that they would ap- peal the decision.
 Attached to the will was a codicil written by Croker on November 15, of the same year, to his wife request ing that she give his daughter, Flor ence, 10000 pounds sterling because 'she is the only one of my surviving children that has ever shown any gratitude to me-
 Mrs. Croker cannot take possession of any part of the estate, save Cro- ker's personal property here, valued at $5,Oo0, until settlement of the case involving $110,000 in municipal bonds which were seized from a local bank vault last October as security for feo- eral tax payments.
 Her attorneys said. however, that the way now is clear for her to ap- ply for ancillary papers Of adminis- tration to supersede the New York Trust company as administrators of the estate.
 The court action yesterday followed the sustaining ten days ago of Mrs. Croker's demurrer to objections filed by the three children to her original petition for probate of July 8, 1922. During the litigation, here, the will was sent to Dublin and admitted to probate there June 15, 1923.
 Mrs. Croker expects to qualify as sole executrix of the estate with the filing of temporary bonds of $10,OOo today. She plans to leave for New York city tonight and sail for Ireland July 19 with her mother.

EUROPE

Secretary of State Hughes has gone to Europe. He went on American Bar Association business, but it's be- licved hell be drawn into the repara - tions tangle there. The Dawes plan is having hard sledding. England and France disagree concerning it, Ger many accuses both of crookedness It's suggested American arbitration might help. Premier Herriot of France says the Dawes plan would reduce Ger many's war damage payments. If so, he wants the French debt (due largely to Amerca) reduced, too. The old story! Anyway, before America can be pulled into the argument the sen ate will have to consent.

 Business Of Conference,
 It would be the business of the conference. said Mir. Macdonald. to create conditions for the working of the Dawes report. the first being the fiscal and economic unity of Germany, and the second, adequate security for prospective investors in the loan for Germany.

He pointed out that the Dawes report was not final solution of tho reparation problem, but that 1t was necessary 10 get this scheme into operation before other problems could be solved. Therefore it was his desire that the conferencs deal solely with the Dawes report.

Hands Is Mystery
(Gadsden Bureau.)

. GADSDEN, Ala, Nov. A.-The
jury in the case of John Hopwood,
charged with kidnapping ]. Nader, after
being out since Saturday noon, failed
to reach an agreement and was dis
missed Monday, a mistrial being en-
tered. 1t is said to have stood seven
for conviction and five for acquittal.
AS soon as the jury was polled Solic-
itor NJ. G. Sivley asked if the evil
dence in the way of four hats, alleged
to have been lost in front of the Nader
home when Nader struggled with the
white-robed band, had been brought
into court, and box was handed to
him by the foreman.
On opening the box the solicitor
stated that the silk lining in one of
them which bore HopwoOd's name and
which was the most damaging bit of
evidence against the defendant, was
missing. Each juror said he did not
know how it disappeared. The fore
man stated that the box was locked in
the sheriffs office at noon Sunday and
when it was taken out at 8 o'clock
Monday morning the lining0n the Hop
wood hat was gone. The court ap-
peared to be stunned by the revelation
but dismissed the jury without re-
marks.
