A sixth will of Mrs. Mary F.

One Hundred Dollars" in addition
to the previous 100000 trust
agreement, was filed today by
Norman B. Landreau. attorney,
on behalf of Harry A. Seay, local
real estate man who, with Henry
Arnold, was named as executor in
this will by the wealthy dowager.
Both executors were beneficiaries;
also.
This will, like the five filed
yesterday, only one of which was
for probate, reminds that she has
refused to receive Mrs. Wholean
and her husband in her home,
and "both of them have since
been very repugnant to me"
- Changes Mind Again
This will leaves the bulk Of the
estate to be divided equally
among Miss Frances Arnold and
Henry Arnold, her niece and
nephew, both of New York city.
and Jesse S. Shima, Harry A. Seay,
C. K. Hasegawa and William Car
ter.
The will specifically cuts off
Valeria NOvard, who was included
in previous will, because "She
made it very unpleasant for me
in many ways and caused great
mental anguish"
The pictures and paintings are
bequeathed to the National Art
Gallery, provided that proper
space is provided Immediately for
their display"

The will also directs that all
personal and real estate property
be sold and the proceeds divided
between the two chief heirs. Wit
neSSeS to this will are Frank de
Lashmutt, H. R. Thomas, and
Jack Pearson, all of the United
States Savings Bank.
This will revokes a previous
will which named DR.. Kellogg and
the Battle Creek Sanitarium as
chief beneficiary, although the
previous gift to the sanitarium Of
5000, 900 securities and 5000 acres
of Missouri land is confirmed.

LONDON, July % 0NSD.
Meeting the American newspaper
correspondents here today to re.
port real progress achieved" at
the seven-power conference, Henry
L. Stimson, Secretary of State,
gave the correspondents a shock
with the announcement that the
so-called American plan" for
German relief was really of
American and British joint con-
ception.
Said Secretary StimSon:
Confusion regarding the
American plan yesterday was
largely a matter of definition.
81 had no new proposal. 1
merely supported tn eSame pro-
pOSal I had presented at Paris,
namely, a proposal for Stabili-
EatiOn of existing credits.
"It was not strictly an
American plan because the
American and English proposals
coincide.
"The plan actually was initi-
ated and brought before the
conference by Premier Mac
Donald. I supported it, but
even that Is saying too much
because there was no formal
presentation Of any cohesive
PLAN"
End Seen Tomorrow
Said Secretary Stimson:
every real progress was
: achieved by the conference to-
day and we are very hopeful
that We will be able to finish
tomorrow. The minds of the
cOnfeFees are uniting on the
suggestion Of possible aid for
Germany, and all acrimonious
issues are absent"
He then said the relief plan
had first been advanced by Pre-
mier Macdonald.
The plan was announced from
washington by President Hoover
! Yesterday, in the face Of per
S.stent denials by Secretary Slim
son that any American plan
was under consideration.
The Washington announcement
was cabled to London by news
agencies and correspondents.

his standpoint without refer
ence to what was happening at
the conference"
This was Secretary StimSon's
explanation of the apparent diff
ferences existing between Wash
ington views and those expressed
by him as head of the American
delegation.

as Mr.. Stimson now designates it.

SEYMOUR, Conn, May 12
GN.SO.-Raymond E. Gilyard,
first selectman, was shot and
killed in the town building here
today by group of men who
apparently had been lying In
ambush for him.
The shooting occurred just as
the official had reached his
office. His assailants were hiding

he was opening the door.
Gilyard was able to reach the
telephone in his office. He told
the central operator:
81 have just been shot by
three negroes"
When aid reached him, he was
dead.
An unconfirmed report was to
the effect that an attempt was
made to shoot Selectman Gilyard
about week ago. He was fired
at from ambush when entering
his auto, but the shot went wild.
Selectman Gilyard was 38 and
is survived by his wife and four
children. He had been active in
crusading against liquor law vio-
lations and recently caused the
conviction of a group of local
residents.
