MRS. LILLIAN DUKE
DIES IN POVERTY
One Time Mistress of Huge
Tobacco Fortune Has
Nothing at Death.
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 24-Mrs. Lii
liam n. Duke, who was divorced 20
years ago by the late tobacco mag
nate, James B. Duke, died tonight in
her music studio on West Eighty
eighth street. She had been uncon-
scious since October %, when she suf
fered two cerebral hemorrhages.
Since the death of her former hus-
band on October 10, Mrs. Duke had
been greatly depressed, according TO
her attorney. Miss Lillian Pugh. who
said Mrs. Dukes condition was un-
doubtedly complicated by lack OF food.
She had refused to accept loans from
friends, her attorney said.
Died in Penury.
The tobacco mans first wife died
in penury, although 30 years ago she
was mistress of A fortune. then est1-
mated at s100,000.000. At the time
Mrs. Duke presided over her hus-
bands mansions in New York and
reduced to giving music lessons to
a handful of pupils. She had studied
at one time under Jean de Reszke.
Miss Pugh said Mr. Duke knew of
his former wife's financial difficulties
before his death. In his will, filed
for probate on october %, he made
no provision for her, but left the bulk
of his estate, now estimated at Sloo-
0O0, 900 to his second wife. Mrs. Hama
line H. Duke, and to their daughter,
Doris.
Mrs Lillian Duke stood on a knoll
in Central Park and watched, with
tears streaming down her cheeks, the
funeral procession of her former hus-
band on its way down Fifth avenue
She had several fainting spells after
returning to her studio, but continued
to give music lessons for several days
without regard for her condition. One
of her few remaining pupils found her
after the first hemorrhage and called
a physician and obtained some food.
After the second hemorrhage Mrs.
Duke became completely paralyzed on
the left side and lapsed into coma.
Divorced in Year.
Before marrying Mr.. Duke in Cam
den, n. j., in 1904, she was Mrs. Viii
liam f. McCredy, wife of a New
York broker, by whom she was di-
vorced.
year after their marriage Mr..
Duke brought suit for divorce. NAM
ing as correspondent Maj. Frank T.
Huntoon. a former officer of the Old
Guard. and head of mineral water
concern.
1t was said al the time the divorce
was granted that Mr.. Duke made
settlement on her of $500 600 but Miss
Pugh recently denied that Mrs. Duke
received any sum from the tobacco
man after the divorce.
Three years ago Alfred r. Lindsey.
a broker, was sent to Sing Sing prison
for swindling Mrs. Duke of 1925 900
in cash and $50, 900 in jewelry.
Mrs. Duke brought suit last May to
have her former husbands divorce in
validated, on the grounds that at the
time she had refused to recognize the
Jurisdiction of the New Jersey courts
and had reserved all her rights. Her
application was denied. Miss Pugh
said Mrs Duke was about to file an
appeal.

COUzENS TAX CASE
GOES TO APPEALS
Treasury. Unable to Settle
Controversy, Turns Issue
Over to Board.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Treasury has abandoned hope
Of settling the controversy over al
legged deficiencies in income taxes on
the sale of Ford Motor Company stock
by Senator Couzens of Michigan and
the estate of John 2. and Horace E.
Dodge, and the issue will be deter
mined by the Board of Tax Appeals.
Counsel for the Dodge heirs have
iled an appeal from the final Treas
ury ruling with respect to their taxes,
and the declaration yesterday that
attorneys for Senator CouZens would
make no further concessions indi-
Gated that the Couzens controversy
also will be in the hands of the ap-
peals board within a few weeks.
Solicitor Gregg of the Internal Rev
enue Bureau, who conducted the con-
ferenceS on the CouZens case, said
the same facts and principles We're
involved in the two disputes and the
Treasury appeared to be entirely
willing that the independent agency
should iron out the controversy. AL
though no official would comment
on the cases, it was recalled that the
assessments. levied arbitrarily, had
come at a time when the Michigan
Senator was guiding the investigation
of a Senate committee into internal
revenue affairs.
The assessment against the Senator
was about $11 900, 900 That against
the Dodge estate first was S6,SS4 900,
but in the papers filed with the tax
board it was disclosed a cut to 81 337, :
900 had been made by the bureau in
its negotiations. Officials refused
yesterday to say what had been done
in the controversy with the Senator
but it has been generally accepted
that the arbitrary figure of S11, ,000,-
900 was employed merely to prevent
operation of the statute of limitations
which, had it been allowed to go into
effect without action by the bureau
would have precluded any further
action by the Government
The appeal papers showed that the
Dodge estate had sold / 900 shares of
Ford Co. stock at s12, 900 share, and
the estate held them to have had a
1913 value. for tax purposes, of 50 ,4S9
a share. 1t was claimed also that the
Internal Revenue Bureau had at one
time accepted that basis of calcula-
ton, but the present Treasury admin
istra ton refuses to agree. The pres
ent figure which the bureau contends
as a 1913 value is about S3.547 a share.
In each case the difference in the
value has become the crux of the
controversy, for without an agree
ment on that point. there can. be no
calculation of the taxes due
1t has not been determined yet when
the tax board will hold public hear
ings on the case, although it was be-
lieved the date would be set within a
few weeks.
