RELATIVE ASKS SHARE
IN FLAGlER'S ESTATE
Cousin Of Oil Magnate's Widow
Petitions Court to Fix
Allowance.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 27.-Mrs-
Emma F. Cox Of Philadelphia is the
latest petitioner among the many
relatives of Mrs Ada A F1agler, a
patient at the sanitarium here, to
apply to the Supreme Court for an
allowance from the $4,000 surplus
income which the trust estate of Mrs.
Flagler earns.
Mrs. F'lagler was tho wife of the
late Henry NJ Flagler Standard Oil
Co. official. He divorced her in
dition. On her commitment Mr..
Fla gler created a trust fund for her
support consisting of shares of stock,
mostly Of the Standard Oil Co.,
which at the time had a value of
100000. The present value of the
trust fund Ia $10,900,0o0. The income
from this fund is much more than is
needed for the support of Mrs Flag
Ter, and from time to time allowances
have been made from 1t for the sup
port of her relatives.
Mrs. Cox is a cousin of Mrs. Flag
Ter. She will be 81 years old in jan
uary. She says in her petition that
she was on affectionate terms with
Mrs. F1agler before the latter be-
came mentally afflicted. The petit
TONER says she is certain that If her
cousin were competent she would aid
her. A brother, two nephews and a
grand niece of Mrs. Cox are receiv-
ing allowances from the surplus in
come of the Flagler trust fund.
The Supreme Court will appoint a
referee to pass on the application OF
Mrs Cox

Reduction Is 1900 From Last

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
VIENNA, November 25.--This city.
with an approximate population of
100000, has only $500 private auto
mobiles, according to figures COM
piled recently by the authorities, or
about 1000 less than last year. The
reduction is attributed to the eco
nomic crisis, which has reached vir-
tually all branches of business, pro-
LESSONS and walks of life.
The theaters and cafes have also
been hard hit. Many Vienna restau-
rant proprietors have threatened to
close their establishments on the
ground that they are being over
taxed by the municipality.
