CONTEST OVER
r. VALEN TlNO'S
WILL NOW HELD
TO Be UNLIKELY
Brother of Dead Actor, Ull-
man and Attorneys Hold
Conference Friday.
VALUE is SURPRISE
Estate Believed to be Worth
More Than Million; Will
is PrObated.
(By Dispatch A. P. wire)

LOS ANGELES, Calf, Sept. 10. =
Contest Of the will of Rudolph Valen-
tino bv his brcsner and sister who
under it's terms, must share the estate
of the dead film actor with Mrs. Teresa
Werner, an aunt of Valentines second
wife, seemed improable today following
q conference between Alberto Gug-
! lielmi, Valentines brother, S. George
! Ullman, the stars business manager
and executor Of the estate, and their
attorneys.
| At the close of the conference a
statement was issued declaring it the
desire of all parties that the terms of
the will be sustained and that the ex-
ecutor accordingly should take up his
duties. The will was offered for pro-
bate late today. Under the California
law contest may be filed any time
within year.
Milton M. Cohen, one of the two at
torneys for Guglielmi present at the
conference said he considered the will
vague and believed it might be con-
tested on the ground that it gave too
great power to the executor, Ullman,
named to serve without bond and to
act unQer oral lnSIfucIlOlS VI fNdl0A-
tno given at the time the will was
drawn.
Mrs. Werner, aunt of Natacha Ram
bova, dancer, is now in Europe and
was not represented at the conference
today other than through Ullman and
Attorney w. 7. Gilbert, who represented
the estate. She previously had cabled
Ullman her confidence in him and said
she would not return to the United
States at this time. Ag f A$
Valentines estate is estimated to be
worth more t:ian $1,00o,055.
Ullman said today that the instruc-
tions mentioned in the Valentino will
merely were for him to look after the
estate as he had while Valentino was
living and until settlement could be
effected This was to be made as
speedily as possible and Ullman was
then to distribute the estate to the
three beneficiaries.

CONSIDERING
FARM RELIEF
(By n.spatch A. P. wirsl

PAUL SMITHS, N. Y,
Sept. 10.-Although Presi-
dent Coolidge is giving
study and consideration to
the question Of putting for
ward some additional farm
relief legislation at The next
session of congress, he has
not reached the point of
draft a bill or giving any
particular thought to any
specific draft of a measure.
Moreover he has not de-
cided upon any special form
of farm relief legislation.
Attention is being given carefully by
the president, it was said today at the
summer White House. to proposals for
agricultural legislation as they are re-
ceived here, and it was added. scarcely
a day passes that some plan is not re-
ceived from organizations or individu-
ais in the country.
The measure which W. I, Drummond
of Kansas City, chairman of the Ameri
can Farm congress, has presented pro-
viding for government aid in disposing
of basic surplus crops through farmers
cooperatives, has received the attention
of the president. but there was no indi-
cation today that he had formed any
definite opinion about 1t.
Attorney General Sargent, who has
been a house guest at the White Pine
camp for several days, returned to Ver-

AL JENNINGS TO
TAKE MOVIES IN
THIS CITY SOON

Motion pictures to be made IN
Douglas! Al Jennings, once
bandit, later an author. evangelist
and lecturer and, now a motion pie
ture producer, accompanied bJ @ NJ,
Coggins, location expert %nd Bert
Higgins, cowboy actor, spent Friday
in Douglas making arrangements for
filming one of Jennings stories,
"rhe Voice in the Choir in tho
vicinity of Douglas and Aqua Prieta,
Mexico.
Jennings expects to bring his ccn-
pany to Douglas within 30 days.
While he will use regular cast OF
about 25 players, some portions OF
tile manuscript of the picture call
for 400 persons and these parts VIII
be tkaen by extras. The company
will come here in two special coaches,
with four additional cars of horses,
The production will cost between
SIS. 900 and 100000 and will be re-
leased through the Famous Players
Lasky-Paramount corporation.
The story. taken from one of
jennings books, will deal closely with
jennings life. Most of the scenes
will be outdoor scenes, for which
this section is particularly suitable.
Many of the scenes depend upon
border setting. and it is partly for
this reason that Jennings has Sc
leeted the DoUg1as-Agua Prieta
locale. Other portions of the pic
ture will be filmed IN San Quentin
penitentiary and the studios at Holly
wood.
jennings, Coggins and Higgins left
Saturday morning for Hollywood 10
complete arrangements FOR release
and the securing of the necessary
equipment and players for the pic
ture. The entire troupe viii make
Douglas their headquarters while
filming the picture here. While
Jennings conferred with Mexican Of
ficials at Aqua Prieta Friday, he
anticipates no difficulty in securing
the permit to make portions of the
picture in Mexico because he has al>
ready received assurance from of
ficials at Mexico City that the per-
NIT will be granted.
douglas is an ideal location for a
picture of the type we intend to film
here,' Jennings stated. "It has the
border setting, the clear atmosphere
necessary for good camera work,
and plenty trained riders and pic
turesque characters from which to
draw extras. am surprised that
more westerns have not already been
made here"
Coggins, while primarily interested
in locations for making the scenes Of
the picture, was particularly inn
pressed by the welcome given the
industry by Douglas business men.
Douglas certainly offers plenty of
inducements to motion picture pro-
ducers to make pictures hcre," ne
stated, "and I believe that this in
formation will be welcomed by other
producers in Hollywood who specialize
in. westerns"
Jennings, while undoubtedly a
striking character, is far different
from the type of man one expects
to meet after reading his life's his
tory. Small, of statue, quiet in man
ner and soft-spoken, he looks more
the evangelist than man whose
name was once spoken in a whisper
throughout oklahoma, "but then, I
am not a train robber, any more"
he adds, with a quiet smile.

SURETY THAT
LEAGUE MEANS
PEACE, UPHELD
(By Dispatch A. P. wiNS,

GEN EV A, Sept. TO-
Faith that loyal co-opera-
tion will. keep Europe far
from war and safe in the
paths Of a permanent
peace and happiness con-
tinued tonight to be the
dominating note of this
memorable day when Ger
many was received into the
league Of nations with the
applause Of thousands.
DR.. Stresemann, the German rep
rosentative, in striking address be-
fore the assembly, had prayed that
the destiny of the league of nations
be fulfilled on the basis of it's lofty
conception of peace, freedom and
unity. And former Minister BRAND
in moving language pledged the sup
port of France to policies that would
thrust war aside forever. The one
outstanding feature of the day was
the rather gingerly manner with
which both Stresemann and BRAND
approached the questions of disarma-
ment, giving the impression that both
statesmen realized that this is the
most difficult problem of all con
fronting Europe.
DR. Stresernann counselled "tactful
work. in achieving disarmament
whila M. BRAND virtually gave no.
tice that Europe could not shake off
her heavy burdens of armament un-
til equilibrium was restored both
economically and morally and until
people were convinced of their Sc
curity.
Tonight the statesmen of various
nations are conferring how best to
treat problems still outstanding
which might prove to be possible
menaces to complete accord DR..
Stresemann told newspapermen at a
banquet in honor Of the council, at
which he clinked glasses with BRAND,
vandervelde and Chamberlain. that
all must bear in mind that every
day is not Sunday or a holiday
and that daily effort is necessary
to make peace secure.'
DR.. stresemann said that nothing in
M Brands speech before the as
sembly had touched him more than
the assertion that tnN peoples who
had shown such heroism on the
battlefields should now seek other
and constructive outlets for their
energy.
Chamberlain warning against ex-
cessive optimism, told the German
Journalists tonight not to forget that
the path is long, for suspicious must
be allayed and wounds of the past
more fully healed.
