Made Under DureSS, Her
Charge; Larger Share
Is Sought.

Probating Of the will disposing OF
the S750,000 estate of the late James
E. Lilly was held up today by
Probate Judge Mahlon E. Bash
when objections were filed by g
daughter, Mrs. Mary D. Lilly Kyle
of Harrodsburg, KY.
The daughter alleged the will
which cuts her off with income
from 1900 shares of Eli Lilly g. Co
stock, was made under duress anc
when Mr.. Lilly was of unSound
mind. Mr.. Lilly was vice president
of the drug manufacturing concern
The daughters contest Of the viii
delays and might prevent payments
to number of Indianapolis char
liable institutions benefiting under
its terms.
Would Get Two Thirds
If the contest Is successful. the
daughter will receive two-thirds OF
the estate and the widow, Mrs. Nora
r. Lilly, the remaining third.
Under the terms of the will, the
Indianapolis Foundation will re-
ceive for charitable uses the bulk o1
the $75O,0O0 to $1,0O0,0O estate upon
the death of the widow and other
relatives who receive the incomes
from shares of the Lilly company
stock during their lives. This also
will be set aside if the will is ruled
invalid.
John E. Hollett Of the firm of
Walker g. Hollett. representing the
daughter, declared the suit is not
due to family estrangement. There
is no animoSity against the widow
and other relatives in the action, he
said.
Mrs. Kyle, the daughter of for
mer marriage, is widow with four
children, he said. Her husband, q
farmer, died several years ago.
Would Cut Income
Although the income Of 1900
shares of Lilly preferred stock, given
her by the will, would bring her an
income of about $500 a year, her
income would be only $500 a year
if the company should exercise its
option of buying in the stock, he
said. At her death the stock goes
to her children.
The Lilly estate several years age
amounted to approximately $780,
600, but recent exchanges by the late
Mr.. Lilly Of common stock for pre-
ferred stock has reduced it to from
$75OOO0 to $1,000,o0O in value, Hol-
lett said.
Objections to probating Of the will
filed today halt procedure for thirty
days. in which time Hollett will file
detailed complaint, making all the
benef1ciaries defendants to the
action to set the document aside.
The Riley hospital will be tht
heaviest immediate loser if the will
is set aside. Under its terms tht
hospital was to receive outright tht
proceeds of the sale of $50 shares o.
Lilly preferred stock, which it i
estimated would amount to more
than $4,000.
The will named the Union Trust
Company trustee of the estate.
Union Trust Company officials re-
fused to comment on the will con-
test.

Tennessee Girl Singer Stands
at Fame and Fortune Portal

and "Up in the Clouds" Her
first real success, however, came
in the Music Box revues. That
success was solid, but Grace
Moore still was looking toward
opera.
In May, 1925, she went to Eu-
rope and joined the All-Ameri-
can Grand Opera Company in
Paris and Nice. Last summer
Gatti- Casazza of the Metropoli-
tan heard her sing and con-
tracted for her appearance with
his company.
She returned to the United
States in November and since
has been preparing for her de-
but. Now she is on the thresh-
aold Of q fortune if she strikes
public fancy. In two years, Ma
ion 1'alley, the Kansas girl, has
had an income of more than
100000. Mary Lewis Of Arkan-
sas also from musical comedy
ranks, probably has an income
of close to 100000 a year.
The money means little,
though as far as Colonel Moore
is concerned.
"Grace made enough when she
was in The Music Box" he said.
"The thing is that she has
worked hard, has been a good

she's always wanted to do.

Ready to Enter Fight
BY PAUL r. MALLON

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-Secre-
tary of Commerce Hoover probably
will enter the Ohio presidential pri-
mary, it was learned here today.
His friends say he has about de-
cided to accept the challenge OF
Senator Willis Of Ohio, who hither-
to has insisted that the Ohio Re-
publican delegation at Kansas City
in June be a Willis delegation, first,
last and all the time,
The invitation of newly formed
Ohio Hoover committee to enter the
primary had not reached the Sec
retary early this forenoon. 1t was
expected, however, that an answer
thereto will be made in the next
few days. This probably will be
an acceptance. Such acceptance
would mark Hoover'S formal entry
into the campaign for the preSi-
dental nomination.
Will Enter Primaries
Hoover's friends said today he in
tends to participate in several pri-
1naries, including probably Mary
land, New Jersey and New Hamp-
shire. Hoover does not intend.
however, to enter in such States as
Indiana, Illinois and Nebraska,
where favorite sons are running.
The secretary's original intention
was to stay out of the primaries in
all favorite son States.
In Ohio, however, sharp issue
arose when Willis made 1t clear he
would not release the delegation to
Hoover even as second choice.
Representative Burton, Ohio,
brought the fight to a head last
week when he issued a statement
favoring Hoover and indicating Ohio
sentiment was strongly for the sec
retary.
Willis Gets Backing
Burton subsequently intimated
that other Onions would support
Hoover except for fear of patronage
retaliation by Willis. Members of
the Ohio delegation in Congress
however, followed the Burton an
nouncement with statements sup
porting Willis, and the Senator let 1t
be known the fight would be no 'l-id
glove" affair.
Since then the Ohio Hoover-for-
President committee has been
formed and Hoover supporters have
urged him to make a fight.

Judge Takes Senate's Plea
for Dismissal of Writ
Under Amusement.
FREE ON BOND OF $1,000
U. S. Counsel Flags Teapot
Dome Scandal as 'SIimy'
Business.
BY HERBERT LITTLE
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-Justice
Jennings Bailey took under advise
ment in District of Columbia Su-
preme Court today the question Of
the United State Senates right to
compel Colonel Robert w. Stewart
to answer questions put by its Tea
pot Dome committee.
Stewart, chairman Of the board of
the Standard Oil Company, formally
challenged in court the Senate's
power to require him to testify con-
cerning disposal of $3,O00,0O in Lib
erty Bond profits of the Continental
Trading Company.
The Senate'S counsel maintained
it had such power and asked dis
missal of habeas corpus writ on
which Stewart was freed last Satur-
day. 1t was on this motion that
Justice Bailey reserved decision.
George Wickersham for the SEN
ate fayed the Continental oil deal
as "Slimy."
Justice Bailey gave Stewards at
torneyS until next Monday to file a
brief on the points of law involved
and the Senate through Wickersham
was given until the following Fri
day to file a reply brief.
The decision, thus, will not be
made probably for at least two weeks
and perhaps longer, during which
time Stewart will retain his free
dom on $1,000 bond.
Arguments Are Heard
At the conclusion Of two and one
half hours of argument, most of
which was taken up by Stewards
attorney, Jesse G. Adkins, head of
the district of Columbia Bar As
sociation, Justice Bailey said he
could not ignore one question en-
phasized by Adkins. This was
Stewards challenge of the Senate's
right to arrest the oil multi-mil-
lionaire, instead of Subpoenaing
him and putting to him again the
questions he had refused to answer.
WickerSham asserted many prece-
dents upheld the SenateS right to
arrest a defiant witness.
Adkins, however, said that Stew
are was under subpoena and mere
ly should have been summoned be-
fore the bar of the Senate. He
also held that he questions Stew
art refused to answer were irrele-
want, inaSmuch as Stewart had de-
MED he received or disposed of any
OF the Continental'S bond profits.
Justice Bailey disposed of this
objection by remarking that the
questions were relevant if the Sen
ate had a right to investigate the
Continental deal.
Patriotic" Defense
Adkins also set up a patriotic de-
Tense" contending that his client
was defending not only his own con-
stitutional rights, but the con-
stitutional rights of every citizen.
He said if the Senate were upheld in
this case any legislature, national
or Federal, could question anybody
about the crime, thus usurping
authority guaranteed by the Con-
Stitution to courts alone.
Wickersham denounced the Tea
pot Dome scandals as "the most
Shiny and most disgraceful chapter
in American history"
He pointed out that Stewart had
answered many questions Of the
comraittee down to where some
thing tender Is touched" and added
that Stewart is undertaking to pro-
tect somebody else by his refusal to
testify"
