BULK OF EDISON'S
ESTATE SLEF'Y TO
YOUNGER CHILDREN
Offspring BY Second Wife Given
Big Preference in
Distribution

Newark. N. j., Oct. 30-lR-Thomas
A. Edison left the bulk Of his estate
to the two sons Of his second mar
riage, leaving 1t largely to them to
decide how much the older children
could have and how soon they could
get it. He provided for his wife be-
fore he died and 50 left her nothing
in the will filed Thursday.
The value Of the estate was not
mentioned.
Not only were Charles Edison and
Theodore Edison, sons of the inven-
tor and his widow, named executors
but they also were made residuary
1egatees with full power to distribute
the residue among themselves and
their half brothers and sisters when
ever they deem wise and in such pro-
portion as they think best.
The inventor left all his shares Of
capital stock in Thomas A. Edison
Industries, Inc, to Charles and Theo-
dore. His railroad and government
and first mortgage bonds in the Edi-
son Portland Cement company are
LETT to the six children for equal di-
vision, but other securities are left
to the children in the proportion Of
40 per cent each to Charles and
Theodore and five per cent each to
the children of the first marriage.
The four children of the first mar
fiage are Mrs. Marian Osier, Thomas
A. Edison, Jr.. Mrs. John Eyre Sloane,
and William L. Edison. A number OF
bequests of $4,000 or less were made
to friends and associates.
The will was dated Feb. 1. 1928, and
there was codicil dated July 30,
1881. just before the first serious at
tack of the illness from which Edison
never recovered.
The codici1 was necessitated by re-
organization of the business formerly
conducted by the Edison Portland
Cement company. The codicil be-
queathed preferred capital stock to
the two younger children and small
percentages Of certain debentura
notes to the others.
Charles Edison said, shortly after

The flavor of coffee, science has determined,
comes from an aromatic oil known as caffeol. Tho
value of coffee, therefore, depends upon the
amount of caeol it contains, just as the value of
milk depends upon the amount of butter fat.
Recently, the Van Cleve Laboratories, food
chemists, analysed the caffeol content of seven
nationally known brands of coffee. The table below
shows the relative caffeol content of these seven
coffees. Note that one coffee-Nash's Toasted
Coffee-contained from ll99o to 500 more caffeol
than the other six brands.
1t is these facts that the American housewife
is entitled know. Do not be deceived by prices!
You want your moneys worth-you want coffee
fauor, not Aavorless grounds. If you insist upon
Nash's Toasted Coffee you arc always certain of
offering your family as rich, pure and fresh coffee
as can be obtained.
Study the table-there are the facts!

Colima came out of his lethargy to
take the ninth by a whirlwind at

and which he could not stem. Co

but Torres was ready for him and

margin, but enough to put it on
his side of the ledger.
The Filipino gave a fine eXhibi-
ton of blocking, which Bill seemed
to have missed, while Colima never
Cnce bothered him, except in that
ninth round. Well give Colima
credit for putting up a good scrap
against a tough bozo, but we will
not give him the decision, though
most of the fans agreed with Tao

Some weeks ago Tex Mills fought
out at the arena. and as we recall
it, the bout didn't show Tex as any
ringman, though he took the decis-

Tex mixed it up with Luis Reyes,
and walked away with the decision
in handy style. Luis is tough

him all the way. Mills was an en-

and looked like a letter from home.

1t was a good fight with Reyes

up against a better man. The high

Joe Palooka stepped right off the

and went four rounds with Tiger
Flowers. The card said it was Kid

Lloyd Hahn's world record of Isl 2-5
for the half mile. The race was
added to the program at Chapman's

Mr.. Winsor could do was be one OF
the luggers and yeoman work with

And in that time Brother Herman
had made two false starts and one

Right after Mr.. Winsor had sent

WANTS JACK
FOR BOUT

NEW YORK, Aug. 27.,-Jack
Dempsey's exhibitions in the
West are for the purpose of fit
ting him for a comeback, it was
revealed today.
Dempsey said so in a telephone
conversation with Tom McArdle,
matchmaker of the Garden. The
ex-heavyweight champion figures
he'll be in shape by December /
and will be ready to show in
the Garden against any opponent
McArdle selects.
The Garden wanted Dempsey
for an outdoor show late next
month. But Jack is booked
solidly until the latter part of
November. In addition to being
engaged, Dempsey says he needs
the time to condition himself.
McArdle and President Will
liam F. Carey, excited by the
mere suspicion that Dempsey's
transforming tour had serious
idea behind it, forced him into
a showdown by proposing an out
door match here late in Septem-
ber. They offered him his choice
of Pauline Uzcudun, Johnny
Risko, Jose Santa or James j.
Braddock. Dempsey answered:
I'm not ready yet, but / will
be. / promise you I'll go for

pOnent. You can do that.

Foes; Third MGuls
Former Champion

SEATTLE, Wash, Aug. 27.
Before an audience of 10000
fight fans, Jack Dempsey hurled
himself upon three heavyweights
here last night, and put one to
sleep on his feet, pummeled
another into a trance, and took
a lot of punishment from the
third.
Apparently unhandicapped by
any dread of the mauler, Frazier,
third opponent, not only carried
the fight to Dempsey, but made
the former champion look like
an earnest but awkward amateur
Dempsey seemed unable to
put his gloves on Frazier, who
repeatedly stepped inside
Dempsey's punches and disre-
SpectfuIly pun m eled the
Mauler about the body, leaving
the ring at the bell, unruffled
and unscathed.
Except for his inability to dis
pose of Frazier, the Mauler
seemed to be a formidable fight
ing machine and carried Seattle
fans along with him as he made
the third step.
Dempsey, tanned and in ap-
parently fine physical condition,
weighed 1913 pounds.
