Charge Incompetence and
e-NuptiaI Pact For
feiting Claims.

Four heirs of w. S. Taylor, exiled
Governor elect Of Kentucky, who
last week died here where he has
lived since he fled from Kentucky
in 1900, today took the first step in
a move to prevent his widow, Mrs
Nora Taylor, a second wife, from
sharing in his estate.
A petition was filed in Probate
Court by Attorney William H. Faust,
representing the heirs, children by a
first wife, charging that Mrs. Taylor
is incompetent to administer the
estate and asking appointment of
Municipal Judge Dan V. White as
administrator.
The heirs signing the petition are
Mrs. E. Leo Davidson, Mrs. Merrill
Wilson, Mrs. Irwin Miller, all of In
dianapolis, and Mrs. Letha Bailey,
Columbus, Ohio.
The petition declared that Mrs.
Taylor is not entitled to share in
the distribution Of the estate be-
cause prior to her marriage to Mr..
Taylor she entered into an ante
nuptial agreement relinquishing all
claims to Mr.. Taylor's property in
consideration of their marriage and
his release of all share in her prop
erty.
According to Faust, Mr.. Taylor
took steps before his death to pro-
vide for the widow and their 12-
year-old son. A few days before his
death Taylor decided their home at
2143 N. Delaware St., to his son
and turned some other property
over to Mrs. Taylor, Faust said.
The Probate Court petition also
cites disputes between the heirs as
a reason Mrs. Taylor should not be
named administrative.
Mr.. Taylor died last Thursday at
the age of IA. The estate which
remains to be distributed to the
heirs is estimated at from $4,000
to $4,000.

HEAT IN CITY
TO CONTINUE
No Chance of Relief During
Next SO Hours.

1t was hot again in Indianapolis
today. Every one knew it and the
United States weather bureau ther-
mometer proved it.
And according to Weather Man
J. H. Arlington, there was no per-
manent heat wave relief in sight for
the next thirty-six hours.
Conditions will be ripe during that
time for local thunder storms, he
said, however. And if one Of the
storms scatters a little rain over In
dianapolis tonight or Wednesday the
atmosphere will cool off a few de-
grees, but not for long. Even if
showers do come it will warm up
again, he said.
The mercury had mounted to IS
degrees at noon today, with pros
poets good that it would mount to
near 80 by late afternoon. Tenn
peratureS during the morning were
4 and 5 degrees higher than for the
same hours Monday.
Although Monday night was sew
eral degrees hotter than the nights
over the weekend, the mercury re-
manned sereva1 degrees lower than
during the hot nights last week,
Cool breezes also added some relief.
The low point of the night was
II degrees, reached early this morn
ing.
Mondays high temperature was
IS, but the high humidity of the
late afternoon made the day more
disagreeable than the mercury in
dicated.

Divers EncircIe Craft With
Chains 100 Feet Below
Surface of Sea.
AWAIT CALMER WATER
Crew of italian Vessel Is
Trapped When Cruiser
Is Rammed.
BY THOMAS B. MORGAN
United Press staff Correspondent

ROME, Aug. 7.-Chains were af-
fixed today to the submarine FLA,
lying 100 feet beneath the surface Of
the Adriatic Sea after a collision
with the destroyer Missouri.
Officials had every hope that with
the arrival of calm weather the two
officers and twenty-nine men aboard
would be saved.
The little submarine rammed the
destroyer during maneuvers off Bri-
or1i Island, near the southern tip
of the IStria peninsula, and sank
slowly to the bottom.
Rescue work was begun ilnlnedi-
ately. Airplanes circled overhead,
and despite the usual roughness of
the water, were able to sight the
stricken ship.
Tap Messages to Crew
The scout cruiser Brindisi was
standing by, and began efforts i'm
mediately to establish contact with
the craft. Divers were sent down
and they at once established "acous-
tic" communication with the sub
marine by tapping on the steel hull.
In command of the ship were
Commander Wiel and Ensing Fasulo,
both known as valorous officers who
would be at their best in an emer-
gency.
They tapped out that they were
all right, and that the crew would
be able to subsist for long time.
Word Of the disaster was flashed
to the Pola Naval Base, and all
available ships of all classes put out
under forced draft for the scene.
Chains Around Ship
By this morning telephone COM
munication had been established
between the FLA and the rcout
cruiser Aquila, that was standing by
close above it.
A little later divers, with appar-
emily little difficulty, succeeded in
inserting air tubes into the ship.
Finally chains were let down and
divers managed to encircle the sub
marine with them, giving hope Of
early rescue to the men imprisoned.
Admiral Foschini personally is di-
recting the work, which is being
hindered by the rough water. Off
cials at the Navy Department here
are optimistic over the chance of
raising the submarine as soon as the
water subsidies, particularly as the
Fla is of small dimensions.
Old Type of Sub
The RIA is an old type of sub
marine. She was launched in 1917,
and is of 255 tons. Her length is
147.5 feet. She carried two torpedo
tubes and one three-inch gun. Her
speed was thirteen knots on the sur
face and eight submerged.
From early investigation by divers,
1t is apparent that the submarine
was, struck in the stern, although
it seems not with such violence as
to flood her compartments.

Senator Backs Wet to Win
His Seat in Missouri
Primary Election.
BITTER BREAK IN PARTY
Charles Hay, Dry Lawyer,
Is Rival Candidate and =
inns Old Foe.
BY FOSTER EATON
United Press STAFF Correspondent

ST LOUIS, Mo, Aug. IA wet
and dry test vote with the political
reputation Of United States Senator
James A. Reed at stakes was in
progress throughout Missouri today
as voters of the State cast ballots in
the biennial primary.
The issue of prohibition was
sharply drawn as the most impor-
tant in Missouri when Reed, on his
return from the Houston >conven-
ton, publicly espoused the cause of
wet Democratic candidate for the
Senate seat he now holds.
James A. Collet of Salisbury, Mo-,
one of Reeds lifelong friends and
prohibition foe won the senior sena-
tors support against Charles M.
Hay, dry Democratic attorney of
st. Louis and admittedly Reeds Bit
terest political and personal enemy.
Called Another Heflin"
"I am not in favor of Missouri
sending to the Senate another Tom
Heflin," Reed declared in causti-
cally worded statement issued in
behalf of Collet.
He denounced Hay for allegedly
referring to him in a campaign
speech six years ago "in language
that would have befouled the lips Of
denizens of the gutter"
Reeds enmity for Hay goes back
to the fight, now historic in Mis-
souri, circles, when Democrats OF the
State, led by Hay, denied him a seat
in the San Francisco national Demo-
cratic convention, because of Reeds
anti league of nations course after
the war.
Wants Capital Changed
Aside from Hay and Collet, the
Democratic senatorial primary in
cludes Robert 1. Young, st. Joseph,
a perennial candidate of little
political following who is not ex-
pected to poll any appreciable vote.
His platform includes a demand
that the national capital be moved
from Washington to st. Joseph.
Six Republicans are contesting
the nomination honor Of their party
to succeed Reed.
United States Senator Harry B.
Halves, Reeds junior colleague, has
taken no definite sides in mis-
party's primary fight, conhning
himself to an appeal for party har-
mony. His term does not expire
until 1888.
No Harmony Left
Party harmony, however definite
ly was kicked into the discard by
Reeds espousal of Collet's wet
candidacy against Hays dry plat
form.
Hay consistently has advocated
strict enforcement, endorsed the
principle of prohibition, and stated
he stood "squarely on the Houston
platform"
He differed with Reed over the
Interpretation of Governor Alfred
E. Smiths telegram to the conven-
ton after Smiths nomination.
Where Reed asserted the tele-
gram definitely brought prohibi-
ton into the campaign so that it
cannot be avoided" Hay took the
position the platform was broad
enough to permit both allegiance to
Smith and to the enforcement stand
of the Houston prohibition plank.

Story of Millionaire's Battle to Stave Off
Death That He Might Wed His
Secretary Is Revealed.
XYGEN USED TO MAINTAIN LIFE
Array of Legal Talent Marshalled for One
of Most Sensational Combats in
Citys Legal History.

The story of the wedding
of James A. Allison, five days
before his death, probably will
be one of the features of the
trial of the suit by his former
wife against the bride of five
days for 100000.
The use of oxygen, his own plea
to be kept alive, his insistence upon
wedding ceremony, are features
of the romantic and tragic end OF
the career of a man who had played
so important a part in the building
of Indianapolis.
This is the story, as whispered by
friends of Allison, who now refuse
to talk or be quoted.
After his divorce, Allison returned
to Indianapolis in his private car.
On the same train, in more plebeian
surroundings, was his former wife.
Use Oxygen on Patient
On his arrival, Allison was i'll,
very i'll. The use Of oxygen was
resorted to in an effort to keep him
alive. And knowing that he was
seriously i'll, it was Allison, so the
story goes, who insisted that he
be married at the home of his friend
and partner, Carl Fisher on Long
Island.
Again the private car was ordered
and the trip to New York begun.
On arrival, he refused to permit
himself to be carried from the train
sheds and climbed the high range
of steps to the waiting car.
Physicians advised that the cere-
mony be most quiet and without
excitement. And Immediately after
wards there was a trip to Asheville
N. c., a hurried visit to a former
home which he had maintained
there, and another trip back to New
York.
Comes Back Home
Again on his return his heart gave
warning that he was a very sick
man. He wanted his indianapolis
doctors. He wanted the men he had
trusted in former years for medical
advice. He refused to send for them
and chose to come back home to the
city of his early struggles.
Or his arrival here he again re-
fused to be treated as an invalid
and walked through the Union Sta
ton to his car. He did not spare
himself.
But when he arrived at his home
at Riverside, there came the COL
lapse. Medical science was too late.
The tax upon his reserves had been
too heavy. And in another day he
was dead.
With the death of Allison, Mrs.
Allison is mistress Of the magnifi-
cent home, Riverdale Springs, val
ued at 100000, and sole heir Of
the Allison millions.
1t was in this same home that she
acted so long as secretary and
stenographer to Allison, during
which time his wife claims she
brought into play innumerable wiles
to steal away his affections.
