Widow Will Battle Four
Daughters for Estate
of Ex-Governor.

A deathbed will and its revoca-
ton will enter the fight of heirs OF
the late w. S. Taylor, IA, former
Governor Of Kentucky, when they
meet in Probate Court this fall to
distribute the estate, variously es-
timated up to $240,000.
The widow, Mrs. Nora Taylor, 43,
of 2143 N. Delaware St., is pitted
against the four daughters by for
mer marriage in the fight for the
estate.
Both sides today agreed to the ap-
pointment as administrator Of Mu-
nicipal Judge Dan v. White, close
friend of Governor Taylor during
his life time, and now friend to
both contending sides.
Daughters Fight Case
This announcement was made by
attorneys for each side, William H.
Faust for the children, and George
A. Sheehan for the widow, who will
serve as counsel for the administra-
tor. The daughters, who Tuesday
filed objections to the appointment
of Mrs. Taylor as administrator, are
Mrs. E. Leo Davidson, 1905 w. Thir-
ty-Fourth St.; Mrs. Merrill Wilson,
1888 N. Meridian St.; Mrs. Irwin
Miller, 1909 w. Thirty Second ST.,
and Mrs. Linton Bailey. Columbus
Ohio.
After the daughters filed the OBJ
jections, Mrs. Taylor applied for her
administrative papers and was re-
fused by Probate Court clerks, due
to the objections on file. She offered
an $4,000 bond as administrative.
Mrs. Taylor said that the ante
nuptial agreement, under which
neither Governor Taylor nor she
was to share in the others prop
erty, was to be binding only during
their lives. She had a great deal of
property at the time of their mar
riage in 1912, she said.
Widow to Keep Up Battle
The agreement of today does not
mean that the widow has given ur
the fight for the one-third of the
estate, provided for by law wher
there is no will, Attorney Sheehar
said.
Other than the home at 2143 N
Delaware and some bonds for then
son Charles, IL, the widow and hel
son are not included in the daugh-
ters' plan for distribution, Mrs. Tay-
lor said.
Under the provisions of the will
destroyed only a day before the
death of Taylor, the widow was tc
receive $4,000 in Government bonds
the son $4,000, and at least a share
of the $4,000 in stock in the En-
pire Life and Accident Insurance
Company, of which Ex-Governor
Taylor was vice president and gen.
eral counsel, Mrs. Taylor said.
HE called me to his bedside,
she said, "and held my hand anc
told me: Mother, I want to make
provision for you and Charles.
At this time, Mrs. Taylor said, she
did not know the will had beer
destroyed.

Brennan, BOSS
OF DEMOCRATS
IN west, DIES
Veteran Political Leader Is
Septic Poison Victim;
Itt Two Weeks.
LONG POWER IN PARTY
Relapse Comes Suddenly,
After Patient Seems
Near Recovery.

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, Aug. 8.-George Bren-
nan, veteran Democratic leader, died
at 8 a. m. today in the John B.
Murphy Hospital, after a gallant
but losing fight against septic
poisoning.
The Reverend Father Scanlon
went to the bedside of the veteran
political leader shortly after mid
night. The rite of extreme JUNCTION
was administered when Brennan's
condition became critical ten days
ago.
Brennan 1apsed into unconscious
ness at 7::30 last night. 1t was then
that DR., c. RIG. Forester, chief OF
medical counsel announced there
is no hope"
Complicated by Diabetes
Diabetes, from which Brennan
had suffered for eight years, de-
stroyed chances of recovery. A serl-
GUS kidney condition further COM
plicated matters, physicians re-
ported.
The original illness followed ex-
traction of two abscessed teeth. In
lection spread and necessitated
operation July 80. From this opera
tion, Brennan gained partially and
until yesterday it was believed he
was on his way back to health.
The complications arose yester-
day afternoon and were followed by
a severe relapse.
Brennans illness and death
shocked the group of friends who
long had been associated with him.
His headquarters were deserted; the
pinochle table, at which he spent
many afternoons with friends, was
vacant. Political followers ha6
gathered in one room which was
connected by phone with the hos
pital.
Active for Smith
Brennan, who had been active in
the pre-convention campaign of
Governor Alfred E. Smith, had been
expected to lead Democratic forces
in Illinois in the fall election. He
has been in the thick of political
battles for years.
He became the successor to Roger
Sullivan, political leader who died
some years ago.
Brennan began his political career
in 1898, when he was appointed to a
position in the Secretary of States
office in Springfield. In earlier life
he had been a coal miner in south
ern Illinois.
While working in the mines he re-
ceived an injury to his leg which
gave him almost lifelong trouble.
Working and studying, he left the
mines to become a school teacher,
later taking the Statehouse job.
Blow to Party
He entered the insurance busi-
ness in Chicago, where he has re-
sided throughout much of his life.
In 1924 and 1928 he was chairman of
the Illinois delegation to the Demo-
cratic national convention, and was
looked upon as boss of n1id-Western
Democrats.
His death will be blow to the
Illinois campaign this fall, Demo-
cratic strategists admitted.

Full Force of Storm to Hit
Daytona Today, Resi-

JUPITER AREA MENACED
Houses Unroofed, Power
Lines Crippled, Boats
Hurled to Shore.

By United Press
ATLANTA, Ga. Aug. 8.-The full
force of the tropical hurricane,
which swept a fifty-mile portion Of
the Florida east coast between Palm
Beach and Ft. Pierce last night, was
expected to descend today on Day.
tona, with indications that 1t was
gathering force as it whipped north
ward
Approaching in intensity the hur-
ricane which devastated Miami in
1926, the storm traced a path from
the Bahama Islands Monday toward
the coast, curving out to sea, and
returning Tuesday afternoon toward
Florida.
Its center apparently was Jupiter,
north of Palm Beach, but the latter
city felt the edge of the high winds.
A seventy gale did considerable
damage in Palm Beach.
Cut Of From World
Early today almost the entire East
Florida coast, south Of Daytona, was
cut off from communication with
the rest of the world. The radio
station at Jupiter was unable to
send messages, but still was able
to intercept messages sent there.
Meanwhile, the United States
Weather Bureau at Washington
announced another hurricane had
formed in the vicinity of Porto
Rico and was sweeping northwest
toward the Florida coast in the
wake of the other storm.
This new tropical disturbance
was described as Of considerable in
tensity.
The weather bureau at Washing
ton announced in its last nights
report that the hurricane centered
north of Palm Beach would visit
Jupiter with destructive winds.
Jupiter, however, was out of COM
munication and what damage, If
any, had been caused by the storm,
could not be ascertained.
Headed Toward Daytona
Last barometer reports from Day.
tona Beach confirmed weather
bureau advices that the storm was
headed that way. The barometer
there registered 29.o late last night,
the lowest reported from the entire
storm area,
SO far as could be learned at an
early hour this morning. only one
person had been injured in the
storm area. At Palm Beach a line
man for the Florida Power and Light
Company was shocked when live
wire fell onto an automobile he was
driving.
An unconfrmed report from Vero,
north of Palm Beach, said ninety
mile wind was raging there shortly
after midnight. From Fort Pierce
came reports of winds of sixty-mile
velocity. House at Fort Pierce were
unroofed and considerable other
damage caused, reports said.
Palm Beach Damaged
The barometer at Palm Beach
started to drop sharply Tuesday
afternoon. BY 8 last night it was
down to 2935. At Palm Beach palm
trees were uprooted, signs torn down,
houses damaged and boats blown on
shore from the fury of the gale.
Reports from Miami before COM.
munication lines went out, indicated
the city had escaped the storm.
Richard w. Gray, United States
meteorologist there, said then the
storm would probably not strike
Miami, although the barometer
reading there last night was 29.85,
or Is points below normal.
Squally winds and rain were the
only indications that the hurricane
was raging north of Miami.

ing the full blow of the hurricane.
All communication lines in the area
are down.
The last word from Ft. Pierce
came at 2:30 a, m. today when a
seYenty-f1ve-mile wind was reported
there, Residents we're barricading
themselves in their houses.

and furious rains left the sea, Ship
ping reported in distress during the
night was believed safe.
Palm Beach and West Palm
Beach spent the night in total
darkness when power lines failed,
due to the storm.
Inland Towns Cut of
The hurricane was believed CEN
tering today north of Jupiter. Towns
inland we're cut off and it appeared
the disturbance had veered across
the State.
At Z a. m, all telephone lines
south of Sarasota on the west coast
leading to Miami went out and the

cut of. The storm had passed east
of there yesterday and there was no

of the Bahamas Sunday, moving in
a northwest direction, is of great
intensity, but of smaller arc, accord
ing to the weather bureau, than the
1926 disturbance, which swept
Miami and vicinity.

have hit the Palm Beaches yester.

LEE FAMLY's FUTURE DAY OUTING

Not many years ago II was with considerable awe
that children heard stories Of flying fish which old
sailors brought home to them. To these children a
flying fish was something out Of the natural order II
things. They would have been no more startled had
they been told Of flying cows or elephants who had
only to flap their ears and wiggle their tails 70 soar
high above the tops OF the mountains.
But all this is changed. In the l<ht Of modern
developments the flying fish j. nothing for world
travellers to brav about. The flying fish must take its
place a. "A second-race attraction for those who sail
DER distant seas. With the advent Of mans conquer
Ing or the air. the flying boat" Is now being being
developed into a thing Of rracticability and usefulness.
Only recently il was noted in the news dispatches
that the chairman Of the Imperial Always Of Great
Britain had chartered a flying boat" for a pleasure
cruise from Southampton to the west coast OF Scotland.
Though the name flying boat" may be somewhat Of
a misnomer, the craft being essentially a hydro--air-
plane. It is provided with sufficient nautical equipment
to enable its navigators 70 aliEht on the water and
maintain comparatively comfortable conditions until
ready to take to the air again.
Further development OF the flying boat may bring
il 70 a state Of perfection comparable with the marine
one into faneies Of a popular vehicle that is neither a
boat, an airplane, nor an automobile, but a combins-
ton OF all three. Think OF 9 vehicle that not only
could roll over the highways but with equal facility
sail the ocean and fly in the air. Hurdling the noun
tain tops. hopping across the rivers. sailing the lakes
and soaring above the rain clouds, may yet b the itin-
erary for an ordinary days outing in the family
vehicle.
