Florida Law Provides That
Second Wife Shall Be
Sole Heir.

Entire estate of the late James A.
Allison, multi-millionaire capitalist,
will go to his bride-w widow, Mrs.
Lucille Mussey Allison, lawyers in
terested in the case believed today.
Allison left no will, leaving dis
position of the estate, valued at
from $2,500,000 to $6,00O000, to the
Dade county court of Miami, Fla,
his legal residence, Miami dispatches
Monday said.
indianapolis and Miami society
has been awaiting eagerly to learn
who will receive the major portion
of the estate because Of the divorce
Of Allison from his first wife, Mrs.
Sarah c. Allison, who now is suing
the second Mrs. Allison in Indian
apolis for 100000 for alienation of
affections.
Wife Gets All
Under the 1920 revision of the
Florida statutes, attorneys found,
where a person dies without a Will,
"and if there be no children, or
their descendants and the decedent
be a married man and his wife sur
vie him, all his property, real and
personal, shall go to the wife
However, there may be later
changes in the law that would al
low Mr.. Allison's mother and
brother of indianapolis to share Il
the enormous estate.
1t was difficult in preliminary
examination, lawyers pointed out, to
find all the law governing descent
in Florida, due to the fact that In
diana attorneys are not in close
touch with the Florida laws. Local
attorneys interested are seeking the
opinion Of Florida lawyers.
News that Mr.. Allison, builder
with Carl Fisher of the indianapolis
Motor Speedway and developer Of
Miami Beach, had left no will, was
revealed when Crate D. Bowan, of
the Miami law firm of Shuts and
Bowen returned to Miami Monday
from Indianapolis.
Gets Florida Home
Here he interviewed relatives of
his late client regarding disposition
of the estate.
If the 1920 statutes, discovered to-
day, prevail. the widow will obtain
possession of the 100000 mansion
home of Allison in Biscayne Bay.
Whether the Riverside Springs
home in indianapolis will be in
cluded was matter of conjecture.
Those close to the Allisons said this
property is in the name of the Mo-
tor Speedway Realty Company,
whose stock is owned jointly by AL
hson and Fisher.
If such is the case, the second
Mrs. Allison might only come into
possession of half of this as per-
sonal property, it was said.

KIDNAPPING OF
Girl is FOILED
Woman'S Screams Lead to
Police Action.

Ray Rough, 25, of 426 w. Wash
ington ST., faces assault and bat
terry and vagrancy charges today,
and two companions also are held
as alleged gas hawks.
The three men were captured by
Sergeant Robert E. Woolen and his
squad Of night riders after a chase
shortly before midnight Monday.
When their car passed that of
the police on Kentucky Ave, the
officers were attracted by screams
of a woman who was struggling
with Rough in the back seat. They
overlook the machine at Kentucky
Ave. and Morris St., and placed the
three men and Mrs. Ella Mitchell,
2l, of Brownstown and Indianapolis,
under arrest. The woman is being
held as a witness.
Mrs. Mitchell told police she had
been married to Frank Mitchell,
Brownstown, for six years, but had
not been living with him for the last
four months.
She was eating in a restaurant at
401 w. Washington ST., she said,
when Rough, whom she did not
know, entered and came to her table.
He offered her $40 to go for a ride,
which she refused, she said.
Rough waited for her on the street
and forced her into the rear seat
of the Chevrolet sedan where she
was struggling when police halted
the car, she declared.
Nick Thomas, 1914 N. Senate Ave,
night man at the restaurant, verified
Mrs. Mitchell's story of the kidnap-
ing.

Smith Completes Speech
BY PERCY B. SCOTT
United Press STAFF Correspondent

DniLeQ freSS StdH OOETcopOuuChb
ALBANY, N. Y, Aug. 14.-With
one of his most important confer
ences of the year behind him
Governor Alfred E. Smith, Demo-
cratic presidential candidate, de-
voted his time today to completing
his speech of acceptance.
The speech was practically fin
ished at 2 a. m. today. The last OF
the copy" will be sent to the
printer before night and it is ex-
pected that distribution will be made
to newspapers and press associa-
tions Wednesday.
Silent On Contents
It Is understood that the speech
will run 5000 to 1000 words and
that it will take about an hour to
deliver. Smith will devote great
deal of time to farm relief and pro-
hibition. The next most important
topic to be discussed, it is believed,
will be reorganization of and hon.
esty in the Federal government.
So far the Governor and his ad-
visors have maintained absolute
silence on the contents of the speech.
His ideas have not been divulged to
his closest friends among the news
papermen.
Work on the document, which for
mally will open the presidential
campaign of the Governor, has been
carried on at the executive mansion
at night, with two or three stenog-
raphers continually at Smiths call.
Satisfied Over Conference.
Smith and his friends today ex-
pressed themselves as satisfied at
the outcome Of the result of the
conference he had Monday with
nine far mleaders from middle west
ern and southern states headed by
George N. Peek, Moline, ILL.,, an ally
of Frank o. Lowden, Illinois, in the
Republican pre-convention cam
paign.
The conference, which began at
noon, did not break up until near
ly 5 p. m.
The farm leaders and Governor
all insisted that politicT had not
been discussed by them, but that
they had devoted their whole time
to talking over the subject of farm
relief, the leaders imparting their
ideas to the Governor, rather than
asking him for his.

EXPRESS Views

G. 0, P. Nominee to Avoid
Same Speech Twice
in Campaign.
AT LOS ANGELES FRIDAY
Farm Stand Is to Be
Explained Fully in
Iowa Address.
AT LOS ANGELES FRIDAY
BY PAUL r. MALLON
limited Press staff CorrespOndent


PALO ALTO Cal, Aug. 14.-Her-
bert Hoover has laid out tenta-
tive speaking program for his Re-
publican presidential campaign, un-
der which he will discuss in his
dozen or more big addresses the
subjects which he treated only
lightly in his acceptance speech.
The nominee intends to take up
in these prospective speeches the
subjects of waterway development,
highways, aviation, irrigable lands,
merchant marine, promotion of edu-
cation, more effective adminiStra-
ton of criminal laws, the relation
of Government to public utilities
and railways, the primary necessity
OF conservation of natural resources
and measures for further economy
and reduction of taxes.
Each Speech Different
Due to development of the radio,
it now practically is impossible for
presidential candidates to make the
same speech twice.
Hoover intends to avoid repeti-
ton so far as possible and so con-
duct his campaign that when he
is though his speeches might be
printed in book form as one big
speech which included everything
he has to say about the issues as
he sees them.
Announcement has been made
that he would take up the Boulder
Dam issue, and perhaps state his
views regarding public utilities and
railroads, in his speech Friday at
Los Angeles. He will amplify his
farm views at West Branch, Iowa,
his birthplace, a week from today.
He will take up the prohibition
question in an October speech in
the East.
Ready to Start East
The nominee has finished his brief
Los Angeles speech and his long
farm speech and is ready to start
home. He is cleaning up his desk
and Mrs. Hoover is arranging house
hold affairs in preparation for their
departure Thursday night Hoover
contemplates no further important
conferences before he leaves.
The nominee received an opti-
mistic Arizona report late Monday
from Hiram S. Corbett, Republican
national committeeman there. Cor
bett asked the nominee to stop off
at Phoenix, but the itinerary of his
homeward trip already has been ar
ranged and will not afford sufficient
time for stop in Arizona.

SEEK SOLDIER

IN DEATH CASE
Detectives Think Witness
Can Batter Down
Smith Defense.
READY FOR HIS TRIAL
Green Mill Killing Suspect
Eager to Have Action
fastened.

Detectives today were seeking to
question a solder, said to have been
witness TO the shooting of Ter
renee King, rum runner, at the
Green Mill barbecue early Thurs
day, in an effort to disprove the
defense Of Philip Smith, held as
Kings slayer.
Smith, who surrendered to police
Monday, admitted firing the shot
that killed King. as a climax to a
drinking party, but declared he fired
in self defense, according to de-
tectives.
He saw King reach toward his
pocket and believed he was about
to shoot, Smith told the detectives.
None Of the witnesses of the slay-
ing as yet located by detectives, ac-
cording to Detective Chief Jerry
Kinney, has admitted that he saw
the actual shooting.
Soldier Is Sought
The soldier is being sought in hope
that he witnessed the shooting and
that his story will discredit Smiths
self-defense plea.
Miss Grace Ford and Miss GLADYS
De Voc, entertainers at the barbe-
cue-dance hall, who had been at
the table at which they said King
and Smith and the soldier were
sitting, declare they left the table
before the shot was fired and were
twenty-five feet away, faced in an
other direction.
1t was Kings action in carelessly
putting his arm about Miss De Voc
which started the quarrel which led
to the shooting, the girls said.
The girls said they knew the
soldier in the party only as Byron.
Will Quiz Witness
According to Detective Chief
Jerry Kinney, detectives have
learned the name of the soldier.
and Detective Dennis Houlihan and
John White, who questioned Smith
after his surrender Monday, will
grill him.
Smith waived arraignment in mu-
nicipal court late Monday and is
being held in county Jail for grand
jury action.
He will be ready for trial as soon
as the State is ready, his attorney.
James E. Deery, who arranged his
surrender, said. The trial is ex-
pected to be set for late in Sep
tember.
Norman E .Millikan, owner of the
Green Mill property, today held a
conference with Deputy Prosecutor
v H. Manifold and laid before him
plans for making the place into
chicken ranch.
Manifold stated that the proposal
would not prevent his asking a re-
Straining order against the sale of
liquor there, hearing of which is
scheduled before Judge Joseph M.
Minor in Superior Court S, at 10
a. m. Wednesday,.
The chicken ranch idea NAV block
paddock proceedings, but Manifold
declared that Millikan should be
made to post a high bond before he
can proceed with chicken farming

TAMPA, Fla, Aug. 14.-Tropical
disturbances continued to threaten
disaster to part of Florida today,
after almost a week of high winds
in which upwards of S1,000,000 in
damage was done.
The worst threat was to the west
coast where, according to reports,
a heavy northeast storm is ap-
preaching.
This storm should strike some
time this morning in the district
of Tampa, Cedar Keys and as far
as Mobile, Ala.
The new storm will reach gale
proportions. the Weather Bureau
advices said.
East Coast Escapes
The east coast apparently has es-
capped new damage. Rain and high
winds, which drove the people from
Miami streets late Monday, subsidized
during the early evening and there
was no new threat.
However, q terrific storm struck
Havana during the early evening,
but it is not believed it will whip
across to strike Florida.
Already some effect of the west
coast storm-reported moving up
out of the Gulf of Mexico-were
reported along the west coast.
Storm warnings have been posted
for the entire territory north of
Tampa and residents have taken
precautions against high winds.
At ST. Petersburg the wind
reached a velocity of thirty miles
an hour, but reports said the wind
would reach greater power during
this morning
Punta Rassa reported a sixty-five-
mile an hour gale with little dam
age.
Save Ship Passengers
Captain William White of the
Peninsular and Occidental steamer
Cuba arrived at Key West Monday
night from Tampa and reported his
craft had been struck by a forty
five-mile an hour wind.
Seventy-five passengers Of the
Munson liner Munamar, who we're
stranded when the vessel went
aground near Abaco Island while
the high tropical winds were blow
ing, were safe aboard the liner Lady
Cordeaux and en- route to Nassau,
Bahama Islands, today. They were
removed last night.
