John 7. Davis Files Suit to Void Trust
$1,000,0O0HeT Thought Was Temporary

prived Of his ability to reason and
understand and was mentally incapa-
BILE of executing a valid deed or
contract"
While he was in this condition his
sister, Mrs. Stephen 3. Elliins, sent
for his son, Henry Gassaway Davis. Sd,
and the latter, coming 20 Washington,
took up the matter of settling his
affairs, and after consulting with other
members of the family arranged for
the execution of the trust, it is added.
Davis claims he understood that the
transfer was to hold only until GER
tain obligations were paid. and that
then, in case of his recovery. he
chould again receive the corpus of
the estate.
The paper, however. ties up the es-
tate in such an "iron-clad manner" he
says, as to make it impossible for him
to have any of the corpus, but only
the income, and that the corpus should
so to his two children and their heirs.
Davis tells the court there was no con-
sideration from the beneficiarles for
the execution of the trust and now
claims it is null and void. His chill
dren cannot be injured by the setting
aside OF the paper as they remain in
the same position as before it's eXecu-
ton. If the trust company is injured
thereby he offers to make good any
such harm or damage.

REFLECT MASARyK
HEAD OF REPUBLIC
CzechosIovakians Choose
Him as President for Sec
ond 7-Year Period.

DR.. Thomas Masaryk today was re-
elected president of the Republic of
Czechoslovakia for a second period of
seven years.
In Czechoslovakia. the chief of the
state is elected by the National
Assembly-that is to say--the Senate
and the Chamber of Deputies sitting
together. One-half at least of the
members of both Houses must be pres
ent and the successful candidate must
obtain a majority Of three-fifths of the
votes.
At today's election, 432 members of
the National Assembly We're present,
out Of total membership of $50
$50 senators and 800 deputies) The
only opposition to the candidature of
President Masaryk came from the
side Of the Communist party. which
put forward a candidate who only
obtained So votes. President Masaryk,
on the first ballot, received total of
274 votes, or more than the two-fifths
elected for his second term of office.
Exception Made i'm His Favor.
BY the terms of the Czechoslovak
constitution no President can be elect
ed more than twice in succession, with
the single exception of DR.. Masaryk,
special clause having been inserted
in the constitution excepting him from
this provision.
President Masaryk, who is in his
seventy-seventh year, has long been
the leading figure in the public life of
his country. His eminent services be-
fore and during the World War proved
him to be one of the greatest states
men in Europe. 1t was during his
sojourn in the United States in 1917,
after his return from Russia, that he
laid the final foundations of the Czech
oslovak state. The existence of q
Czechoslovak military force in Russia,
which PLAYED there remarkable and
heroic role during the first phases OF
the bolshevist revolution and which
recognized DIR. Masaryk as its chief,
gave the latter a unique position
among the leaders of the Slav ma
tionalities, then struggling to free
themselves from foreign yoke.
Recognized by President Wilson.
President Wilson and the American
Government appreciated his great serV'
| ices to the allied cause and this was
one of the first nations TO recognize
the new Czechoslovak republic. DR.. Ma
sarvk continued after his election as
| first President to show the same wis
dom and craftsmanship which had
characterized him during the years OF
struggle for CZcchoslovak independ
ence, and took his place as one of the
| leaders of latter-day Europe.
1t is greatly to the mastery fashion
| in which President Masaryk handled
| the various problems, both political
| and economic, which confronted the
new state that CZechoslovakia owes
/ the high and distinguished position
she holds today in the comfy Of ma
