COURT UPHOLDS WILL
PROVIDING HOSPITAL
Heirs of Percy Metzger, Lawyer
Contended $4,000 Allotted
Was Too Small.

The District Court of Appeals, in an
opinion by JuStise Van Orsdel today,
upheld the will of Percy Metzger. a
lawyer, who provided that a hospital
should be founded and maintained from
the income from his estate, worth not
more than $4,000. Some of his heirs
claimed that the time when the &C
cumulated income would be sufficient to
establish and support the hospital is so
remote that the trust should be de-
clared void, as against the rule of per-
petuitieS.
In refuting this contention the appel
late court declares that, while the will
is inartificially drawn, we think it can
be upheld and the intention of the
testator, as stated in the provisions eX-
pressing his desire to establish a me-
mortal hospital. can be so construed as
reasonably to admit of execution. The
hospital may be established upon a
very limited and economical basis, with
a view to future extension and develop
ment as the income will permit or as
gifts or 1egacies may be left to aid in
enlarging and carrying on the charita-
bic work that the testator had in mind"
The will named the National Bank Of
Washington, Victor H. Wallace, Mrs
Nellie L. Coakley, D. Irving Coakley and
George o. Watson as trustees and au-
thorized them to form a corporation to
establish the Percy Metzger Memorial
Presbyterian Fund for the hospital.

GERMANS L|FEBOAT'
CROSSES ATLANTIC.
Sailor Arrives in Cuba After
10-Month Cruise in
22-Foot Craft.

by the Associated Press.
GIBARA. Cuba, May 6.-Paul Muller.
German sailor, has arrived here after a
safe crossing of the Atlantic in a o.
foot lifeboat called the Aga. He used
a sail as well as oars to propel his craft
So unexpected was his appearance that
he was detained Saturday because of
lack of papers. He continued toward
Havana yesterday.
He left Hamburg. Germany, on July
6, 1923, and cruised leisurely down the
coast of Europe and Africa until at
Teneriff, in the Canary Islands, he took
aboard supplies and pointed his small
craft toward the opposite shore of the
Atlantic. Ha reached the Canary
Islands on FEBRUARY 2, 1929.
Muller, who is 43, expects to reach
Havana late this week and will then
sail for New York. He already is plan
ming return trip to Germany over a
more northerly route that would bring
him to England
Although Muller had shown sufficient
foresight to provide himself with neceS-
SarieS that brought him Safe'y to the
end of his long cruise, he had neglected
to provide himself with official papers
for entry to Cuba. 1t appears that he
had at the outset no intention of visit
ing tIle ISIaHu. lie was neIQ by lmml-
grafton authorities until the German
Ambassador eXtricated him.
Paul Muller is not the first man to
cross the Atlantic alone in a small boat

TENDER in boat 81 feet long He had
negotiated the voyage across the open
Atlantic to the Virgin Islands and Porto

Representative Cramton of Michigan,

read an editorial based upon the dec
laration of Capt. Robert Dollar on the
subject.
Cramton said he desired to show that

La Guardia further said the Dollar
ships disobey the spirit and letter of

Chinese" The New Yorker declared

 Uncle Jerry was nearer to him than anyone else-he hadn't any one else, then. Those few minutes by Uncle Jerry in the tunnel be- came the keystone of the life he'd yet to live. He talked to the body as if Uncle Jerry were listening.

 Dad found bit of candle in one of his pockets. He struck an- other match and lighted the can dle. As the match touched the ground fire spurted up and sizzled for a moment Dad said he sup posed a little powder had been spilled by one of the mine hands.
 Holding the candle, dad knelt by the body. Uncle Jerrys face had a fierce, intent look on it. The wound was around the heart. Dads other gold mounted pistol lay be- side the body. Near it was copy of the Torridity newspaper.
 Dad turned the cylinder of the revolver. One cartridge had beer discharged. He went to the dooi with the light. The key he hao pushed under the door was where he had left it. He was quite sure

knife, the pencil, and the other trifles on the newspaper.
 Dad got up, thinking of Dillon. Queer, his going off like that, he reflected. There was another queer thing too, that wound in Jerry's chest. Suicides usually fired at their heads.
 "Dismissing these thoughts, dad hurried outside. To do what he had in mind would take some little time and he hadn't moment to spare. The town was still quiet. Dad looked up at the overhang. It was some 200 feet high, dad said, 100 feet wide, and 30 feet thick at 1 the bottom. The bottom of the Assure was 30 feet above the top the mine door and it was fairly ac- cessible by a rough trail.
 Dad went into the powder house and lighted a carbide lamp. There was plenty of dynamite. He began to trundle the stuff to the foot of the Assure trail, and then carried it into the Assure, a case at time.
 "The last case carried into the Assure, dad rushed back to the powder house and gathered electric fuses, copper wire, battery box, screw driver, hammer and a pair of wire cutters, and returned to the Assure He forced the cases open, stuck fuses into two cart ridges in each case and attached copper wire to each fuse. He then showed the dynamite into old drillings and crevices at strategic points and packed it down with earth and rubble. The lengths oi copper wire which stuck out o1 each pocket of dynamite, he con- nected to his main lines.
 He hurried down the trail, pay ing out the wires. Picking up tht battery box, he raced to a poin about 150 yards north of the over lhang. The coils ran out there, ant
 he connected them to the batter,
 box.
 He cut back to the building ant

 body, got into clean short, clar

 up a half-filled water canteen. H
 said he couldn't go without anotht

 Dad had just got to the mir door when he heard shouting o , towards Torridity. Turning, , saw lights. The lights grew brigh , CT, the shouting louder. Then
 went in to Uncle Jerry.

"A last look and he was racing for Gunpowder He picked up the box and peered off towards Torridity. He could just see a fan-shaped shadow sweeping across the burned-out plain. They were after blood.
 "The shadow swept on towards the mine Dad showed the plum ger down. Gunpowder shot for ward.
 Nothing happened for a split second or so then Hell broke loose. He thought his eardrums would burst before the roar of the ex- plosion. A fearful grinding. crunch ing, crashing sound followed the roar. Gravel and pebbles shower ed upon him and as they pelted Gunpowder's launches the gray went on like a cannon ball.
 Tt was just dawn when dad got to the top of Pitchfork. AS he looked down over the Skull he felt as if he were tearing it's fingers from his throat. He swung the gray around and faced the west It was then that the name he had been looking for same to him. An drew Ogden It was a good name

 Pamela started to open the door on her side. 1t was only bluff.
 As he stepped out of the car and moved to the rear. Pamela put it in gear and roared away. turning her head to call back something that stephen made out to be a sus- gestion that he walk back and drive home with Angela.
 stephen swore: then grinned. Walked. Can you best that?"
 Pamela was far down the road btfore he turned back toward the club. Heedless of danger. she drove on at high speed, forgetting that ahead of her lay a short stretch of road under repair.
 Even when she saw the warning signal lights she did not slow in time to avoid tearing onto the rut- ted road with a momentum that brought disaster.
 1t came with the ear-splitting noise of a cannon shot, a jagged blowout that flattened a rear tire in less than a second and sent the car lurchins and careening madly from side to side. Pamela tried desperately to right , it, but she knew when it came to d stop finally. directly across the roadway. that luck had favored her.
 She slumped weakly back, shaken and white. But the next instant, slancing up the road in the direc- ton she had come, her eyes met a sight that froze her to her seat with new fear.
