But the trustees are to apply the income
from this estate, the Duchess directed,
for the proper support and maintenance
of the Duke and his family, and they
may pay it, in their unlimited discretion,
directly to the Duke himself $50 long as
he may be applying same in proper man.
ner for the maintenance of himself and
wife and children'-which the Duke, by
the way, has not done for a long time, if
he ever did.
And now comes the little joker that dis
tingushes this greatly admired, formid-
ably complicated legal masterpiece.
The trustees may pay out this income,
says the will, until:
"He the present Duke or his success
or] attempts to alien, charge or anticipate
same or any part thereof, or is adjudged
bankrupt or makes any ar
rangement or composition with creditors
having effected a charge upon said annual
income or until any other event happens
whereby if the income were payable to
him absolutely for his life he would be
deprived of the right to receive same or
any part thereof, lin any of which cases
the trust is to determine" (that
is, to terminate).
catch the Duke borrowing on the strength
of money coming to him but not yet in
his hands, or any time any creditor gets
a Judgment against him that he cannot pay
for himself out of money already received,
the whole arrangement is at an end and
other beneficiaries of the will are to get
his income.
No doubt the Duchess his mother meant
to keep the Duke from spending too much.
Very likely she thought people would trade
with the Duke on strictly C. o. D. basis,
knowing that he would not and could not
pay them cent from any source but his
own pocket, and then, only as that pocket
was filled from time to time by the trus-
tees.
But the good Dowager had reckoned
without the Dukes own shrewd mind, and
aggressive inherited business instincts
distorted and misplaced, perhaps, but po-
tent nevertheless. Nor had she thought
much about the gullibility of Americans
when dealing with noble titles, though if
any one had a right to know about such
gullibility it was herself.
So it turned out that instead of keeping

very much to the Dukes discomfort by
New York lawyer, who represents a claim
for money advanced to His Grace. The
lawyers argument is that the trustees
must either pay the Dukes debt, or if the
will forbids that, then they must never
pay him any more income during his life.
In the latter case it is believed the
bulk of the income would go to the
Dukes oldest daughter, Lady Alice Mon
tagu, who Is a great friend of Princess
Mary. is expected soon to make brilliant
marriage and needs her grandmother's for
tune badly.
Years ago the spendthrift Duke made
a runaway marriage with Miss Helena
Zimmerman, daughter of Eugene thinner
man, the Cincinnati railroad millionaire.
Very soon Mr.. Zimmerman perceived his
ducal son-in-law's spendthrift tendencies
and left his fortune absolutely secured to
his daughter. The Duke had from time to
time led his wife into some astonishing
extravagances. Once she paid his debts
of 81, 900, 900, which included $4,000 for
theatre tickets and 5000 for dinners.
They have been living apart for years,
and recently there has come the surpris-
ing announcement from Paris that the
Duke is trying to obtain a French divorce
for desertion, ground which would not
be recognized in England.
The Duke fits about from Monte Carlo
to Paris, to Canada-where he tried to
develop gold mine and had trouble about
a hotel bill-to New York and other
places, always living on the fat of the
land and keeping bit ahead of his cred
itors.
When the late Duchess called on the
English lawyers to protect her prodigal
son they drew up a will which left the
entire estate, with the exception of few
minor requests to the Duchess's sisters
and cousins and servants, to her American
trustees, Harry B. Hollins, John L. Cad
walader and Frederic Ogden Beach. These
gentlemen having died or resigned, the
trustee is now the great United States
Trust Company, whose lawyers are the
equally great firm Of Cadwalader, Wick
ersham & Taft.
It is in trust, of course, that this estate
is left to the trustees, and they are to
administer it, according to the will, Gin
their sole and uncontrolled discretion"
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1925-08-23

legal lights who tied up the original knots
in the will.
So, early in 1924, Mr. Hamilton
through the very eminent New York law
yers, Messrs. Schnitzer, Thorn and Day
ton, brought suit against William Angus
Drogo Montagu, Duke of Manchester, etc,
for the S19, $500, which, with interest to
date, amounted to $31 ,390.32.
The decision in this first round of the
battle went to Mr.. Hamilton, and the judg-
ment was given the sheriff to collect.
But he could not collect. The great United
States Trust Company stood in the way
for the money would have to come from
them.
Then Lawyer Thorn set about gsrni-

contribution, and he needed just

Whites protest.
Also, it seems, though Mr.. White
AYERS he did not know it at the time,
the then Mrs. White, now Mrs. NAL
com Waite, gave the Duke $4,000 ir
return for the Dukes autograph on
one of his pads of blank notes. Alto
gether $19,500 was receipted for
by the Duke within a few weeks
In due time also the war came along,
and though the Duke showed no great in
clination to fight and bleed for dear old
England, he did eventually leave the
United States, by strange coincidence at
just about the same moment that the In
ternational Educational League began to
look bit putrid and creditors thereof a
bit sick. The demand was duly made, but
the Duke didn't pay.
Meantime, the several demand notes had
passed into the hands of Clarence /. Ham,

his lawyers could outtwist the British

the Duke from spending too much,
the trust provisions of the will
gave him perfect barricade from
which to conduct his assaults upon
any and all purses that he could
see through his perscope.
Thus it happened that early in
1914 the Duke, who had spent
much time in America and Canada
pursuing various mores or less
nebulous schemes, conceived the
brilliant idea of educating the
young mind through motion pic
lures. As many people know. the
first thing to do in any project
educational or otherwise, is to form
a company and sell stock. Stock
selling itself is only too often edu-
cational-for those who buy the
stock.
This time the company was the
impressive International Educa- :
tional League, which was to place y.
films dealing with Biblical, natural, NJ
political and other history, in every Mot
school in the land The league was -
ABLY manned-or at least named
and not the least imposing name
was that of William Angus Drogo Mon
tagu, Duke of Manchester, Peer OF the
Realm, ETC., etc.
In due time the Duke and Mr. Archibald
S. White of New York found themselves
at luncheon at Delmonico's, so Mr.. White
swears, and the Duke, over the good food
and drink, confided in Mr.. White that
his solicitors in London had cabled him
that $4,000 was needed to stave off a
petition in bankruptcy. Mr.. White was
only too glad to accommodate his noble
friend-indeed, he must have felt that il
was quite an honor-and he was somewhat
indignant when the Duke insisted on Civ
ing him his note to repay the money on
demand
Why the Duke insisted on giving his
note does not appear, but it was unde'
niably an artistic touch, and the Duke is
undeniably an artistic TOUGHER.
Not long afterward, in Mr.. Whites
Adirondack scamp" the Duke mentioned
the matter of the international Educa-
tional League. His cousin, F. W. Wander
bilt and his friend John D. Rockefeller
Jr., were interested, said the Duke, and
were contributing money to it. He, the
Duke, did not like to lag behind with his

sheeing the Dukes income. He asked the
court to order that the trust company set
aside 10 per cent of the Dukes annual
income until the notes and interest had
been paid.
In arguing out this matter Mr.. Thorn
discovered the interesting fact that the
trust company had not for some time been
paying any income to the Duke-probably
because the Duke had gone through sixty
six actions in bankruptcy, and had done
Just what his mother seemed to antici-
pate in her will when she provided that
if these events occurred the trustees were
to use their discretion about paying the
Duke anything.
And they, exercising this discretion,
were paying the income to Lord Charles
Montagu. All this was set forth in an
affidavit of an official of the trust COM
pany to show that Mr.. Hamilton's notes
could not be paid. But there was not the
least hint that Lord Charles Montagu,
the Dukes uncle, did not exercise his dis
erection also and slip the Duke about
$4,000 year.
However, it served to support the trust
company's contention that it, as trustee,
held no income for the Duke, and that
there was no income owing him. And
further, as the law says, the rights of
creditors are no greater than those of the
trust-beneficiary, and since the Duke had
no rights, creditors had none.
A very pretty piece of legal reasoning,
fully as complicated and knotty as the
occasion demanded-quite convincing to
the court, which denied the injunction.
The Appellate Division also found this
reasoning sufficiently weighty, and af-
firmed the decision of the lower court
But two of the five justices dissenting,
the case has been taken one step higher,
to the Court of Appeals.
And sometime next Fall that learned
body may spring an unpleasant surprise
on the Duke, fer Mr.. Thorn is asking for
the same injunction, preventing the trust
company from paying the Duke anything
ever again, as well as setting aside ten
pen cent year of the income for Mr.
Hamilton.
If the trustees want to stick to the con-
tention that they can't pay the Dukes
creditors, then they can't pay the Duke,
says Lawyer Thorn. In other words, they
can take their choice of coming across
with the $4,000, which, with interest,
now amounts to $4,000, or of paying
over $4,000 year to the Dukes family.
And so it stands now. The Duke may
be facing a curious dilemma, in which he
stands to lose either way.
If he wins-he loses. If he wins the
decision that he doesn't have to pay Mr..
Hamilton he may lose his $4,000 year
for life. If he loses that decision he will
have to pay the $4,000, and his TRUSTEES
may have to decide that therefore they
cannot pay him that same $4,000 year
for life.

Danger in Exhibition
Games Always Present

Big league owners or managers do
not really mean it when they say they
do not care if their clubs meet re-
verses in spring exhibition contests.
The truth is that major pilot and
manager usually thinks almost as
much of winning a meaningless exhi-
bition with some bush league outfit as
they do a regular championship battle.
After getting wallop from some
minor team the big league pilot and
owner take on woe-begone expressions.
The players take note of it and realize
they are at fault.
The result is they go out on the field
determined not to be shown up by
some inferior team and the result Is
needless but costly injuries, such as
rabbit" Maranville, shortstop and
captain of the Chicago Cubs, suffered
recently in an exhibition game at Los
Angeles.
The loss of a star athlete in spring
game is almost as old as baseball it
self. Virtually every major league
team has at some time in its history
had to suffer because some athlete
took FOOLS chance.

JAKE RUPERT SURE
YANKEES WILL WIN
New York Teams Have Put
in First Bid for the 1925
World Series.

New York is almost certain to win
the American league pennant this
summer" according to Colonel Jake
Rupert, owner of the team.
That the New York Giants can
hardly lose the National league pen
nant comes from the Office of the
Giants
New York, therefore, has put in
the first bid for the 1925 world series.
Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago and st.
Louis are eligible to bid, but they are
hardly brave enough to do it.
''The Yankees are the best team in
the American league. They have ev-
erything a championship club needs
offense, defense and a winning spirit"
Colonel Rupert, who watched the
team closely during the training sea-
son, maintains.
"Stories that the Yankee players
were frivolous in their training work
are not well founded. They are in
better shape than l have ever seen
them before and no college team ever
had better spirit.
1.-The veteran pitchers are in form
and in Beall we have a most promis-
ing yOungster. Combs will improve
the outfield and he landed the only
place that was open on the team.
There is plenty of reserve strength
and what more is needed?
1.-THE players know why they lost
the pennant last year and while they
feel now that they are still the best
club in the league, they will not play
that way. They are all on their toes"
Nothing but the most optimistic re-
ports have been received from the
Giants training camp. The office
force believes, as most all of the crit
ias who have seen the club down
South believe, the Giants are certain
to win the pennant.
