URGE CANT|GNY DAY
FOR DEFENSE TEST
Chief Justice Mccoy Stresses
Date of Army's Baptism
on Anniversary.

Armistice day is. not a day for a
defense test or even for rejoicing
Chief Justice Walter /. Mccoy Of the
Supreme Court of the District of
Columbia told 1st Division America n
Expeditionary Force veterans last
night on the anniversary of the
capture of cantigny. 1t represented
TO him day of sackcloth and ashes.
he said, because we didn't go
through and finish the job as we
should have" Defense day should
come on an anniversary of a great
feat of American arms, such as
CantiSny day, he said.
Seventh Anniversary.
Yesterday was the seventh ami
versary of the capture of Cantigny,
when the American troops received
their first baptism of World War
fire and displayed their mettle to the
enemy and to the then doubtful
allies. The District of Columbia
branch of the Society of the 1st
Division commemorated the anniver-
sary last night at a dinner at the
Arlington Hotel and listened to
speeches from their former COM
manders, Gen. John j. Pershing. Maj.
Gen. Hanson f. Ely, commandant of
the Army War College here, who, as
colonel, commanded the 2Sth United
States Infantry in the onslaught.
Maj. Gen. Charles p. Summerall, a
former comma nder, now commanding
the second corps area of the Army at
Governors Island. \. Y. was unable
TO he present. but he spoke to them
over the radio. and as the first word
of his speech came over the radio
the guests broke into great cheers.
Rear Admiral Albert Gleaves,
u. s. N, who comma nded the convoy
when the 1st Division went over, and
later commanded the entire fleet of
transports, also spoke, as did Fred
eric William Vile.
There is a lot of maudln talk about
Defense Test day, Gen. Pershing said.
Up to the time of the Civil War, he
said, the people of this country held
what was known as Muster day, which
was sort of rallying of the patriotic
spirit of the times. The modern de-
Tense test day is essentially a test of
the military establishment. and should
be considered in this light.
Battle Described.
Until that is the attitude he said.
''the country will fall far short. as it
did in 1917, of meeting an emergency
promptly, and the Lord only knows
when we may be called upon to meet
such an emergency"
Justice Mccoy said that on such an
anniversary as this all should take a
VOW, or renew forgotten vows, to do
everything to keep the promises to the
veterans who are sick and MANNED as
a result of the war.
Gen. Summerall sketched the prepa.
rations for this famous battle and the
battle itself. 1t showed the enemy the
power and fighting qualities of the
American troops.
There was a musical program par
ticipated in by Eva Whitford Lovette,
7. s. Lovette, Gladys HilIyer, George
McCauley and Erma Calvert. Music
was by the orchestra of the Army
Music School
The dinner committee was composed
of Capt. G. c. Lowe. chairman: Capt
c. S. Coulter, c. S. Ryan, John keat-
Ing and NJ. B. Driscol.

M'CL|NTOCK ESTATE
VALUEDAT MILLION
Inventory of '0rphan's''
Fortune involved in Shep-
herd Trial for Murder.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
| CHICAGO. May 29.--Interest in the
! fate of the orphan" million-dollar es-
! tate of William Nelson McClintock has
come to the front again as the result
| of the filing of an inventory by the
Northern Trust Co.
Although the bulk of the fortune,
valued in the inventory at approx
mately 81 ,000. .00O," was left to William
Darling Shepherd, now on trial on
charge of numbering McClintock, his
ward, no disposition of the estate has
| been made, probation of McClintock' s
will having been held up pending the
| outcome of the trial.
Three possible dispositions of the i'll
| fated million are seen by followers of
| the case. One is that the estate even
| tually will go to Shepherd regardless
of the outcome of his trial. A second
| Is that it may be distributed among
| cousins of young McClintock. A third
is that Isabelle Pope, who was Nc
Clintock's f1ancee, may qualify as heir.
Meanwhile, the estate, which con-
| sists of $800,000 in personal property,
| mostly non-taxable municipal bonds,
| and $4,000 in real estate, remains
under the direct control of the trust
company.
AS the second week of Shepherds s
| trial draws near its close, interest in
| the case largely is confined to outside
developments. particularly the search
| for Robert White. missing State wit
ness and four other men believed to
have knowledge of Whites disappear
ance. The four men have been missing
from their homes for several days, ii
was learned.
Book on PoisOns" in Evidence.
Another possible lead in the case
a book on pOisons-was received by
Judge Harry Olson, instigator of the
McClintock investigation, from the
chief of police of Houston, Tex. The
Houston official said the book had
been used by Shepherd during his ac
quaintance with Herbert Nichols Of
Houston. The book contained several
notations, which Judge Olson said
would be examined by handwriting eX-
pertS.
The book. entitled Memoranda of
PoisonS, was turned over to Texas
authorities by Mrs. Myrta Osborn of
Houston, who was a close friend of
Mr.. and Mrs. McClintock. Accord
ing to Texas authorities. Mrs. Osborn
came into possession of the book
through her former husband, H. H.
Nichols, an intimate friend of DR..
Oscar Olson, the late brother of Judge
Olson.
Mr.. Nichols obtained the book at
the time he and DIR. Olson started
an investigation into the cause of
Mrs. McClintocks death. according
to Mrs. Osborn's story. Mrs. Osborn
said she did not know who had the
book prior to Mrs. McClintock' 5
death.
Threatening letters We're received
soon after her husband started the
investigation, she said. These We're
turned over to postal authorities, but
no trace of the author was found.
A few weeks later, it was said,
Nicholas was found dead on the out
skirts of Houston.
