HObOeS Denied
James HOwe
Estate

CINCINNAIA, Ohio, April 20
0N.SO Ohio laws will pre-
vent that well,known society of
vagabonds, the HoboeS of Amer
lea, from sharing the estate of
their wealthy ex-leader, James
EadS Howe, it was believed to-
day.
Howe, before he died two
years ago, had wilIed most of
his estate, valued at $47,0
to his former "buddies," to be
used for charity.
An Ohio law, however, will
prevent that part of the will
from being carried out. The
statute voids any bequeSt to
charity in a will made within
a year of death.
Holger Howe, adopted son of
Howe, and his widow, Mrs. In
grobord Howe, will get the bulk
of the estate, attorneys said.
