FIFTH DEWEY WILL
FACES COURT FIGHT
Instrument Dated 1916 Ex-
peCted to Cause Post
ponement of Contest.

Hearing of the contest over the
s875,000 estate of Mrs. Mildred Nc
Lean Dewey, widow of Admiral George
Dewey, which had been scheduled for
April in the District Supreme Court,
probably will be postponed until April
Is, it was learned yesterday.
The information came with the FL
ing of fifth will of Mrs. Dewey, which
purports to have been executed by her
at Atlantic City August 8, 1916, before
the death of the admiral Four other
alleged wills have been filed and George
Goodwin Dewey of Chicago, only son
of Admiral Dewey has filed caveat
to the latest dated document. The
attacked will is dated May 2, 1925, and
makes no reference to George Good
win Dewey, who had been made residu-
airy legatee in an earlier document.
Bulk Left to Admiral
Under the 1916 will, discovered yes
terday in the files of the law firm of
Hogan, Donovan, Jones, Harrison &
Guider, Mrs Dewey provides requests of
$40 each to her nephew, Frederick H.
Bugher now deceased; his son, Fred
erick Mclean Bugher; her nephew, Ed
ward Beale Mclean. and his sons, Vim
son Walsh and John Randolph Nc
Lean. The remaining estate is given
to Admiral Dewey. with the exception
of her interest in a fiuor-spar mine in
Illinois, which is left to the children
of her fathers brother, S. B. w. Nc
Lean of Cincinnati.
In her latest testament of May 2,
1925, Mrs. Dewey established an an
nuity of $4,000 for life to Mrs. Fred
erick H. Bugher, gave one-third of
the remaining estate to Frederick M.
Bugher, and left the two-thirds to
follow the law Of distribution in the
District
Mclean Would Get Half.
The effect of the latter statement.
1t is claimed. is to give one-half of
that remainder to Edward B. Mclean.
her only nephew, and the other half
to Bugher, the granddaughter.
BY the terms of a will, executed
April %, 1925, the bulk of the estate
Is directed to be distributed according
to the law of descent and distribu-
ton, which would be an equal diyi-
sion between Mclean and Bugher.
The will, in which George Good
win Dewey is made residuary legatee.
is dated October Is, 1928. A still
earlier will already filed bears date in
1900 and gives everything to Admiral
Dewey.

Want Safe
 and Sane Fourth
This Means Doing Away With Slingshot and
 Air Rifle

Under the law, no fireworks dis plays can be held this Fourth of July. This will come as welcome news to many who have always looked forward to the day as one fraught with much risk to chill dren. The number of serious acci- dents in ali parts of the country on account of the reckless hand ling of fireworks on Independence day has become so large that com- munities have had laws passed prohibiting such displays by indi- viduals.
 There are other weapons almost as dangerous as fireworks. These are air rifles and slingshOts. two things capable of doing much harm. In many places the police are authorized to take these weapons from boys, and even though there might be no law to that effect, it does seems that an officer would be within his rights in disarming youngsters whom he found using them. It Is fine sport but Is attended with too much risk and the practice should be discouraged. The fact that boy might say he did not mean to dc damage would be poor solace tc the child that would lose an eye and probably both. People want a safe and sound Fourth of July something which is out of the ques- ton while careless youths are out with slingshots and air rifles.

Washington To Be
 Remembered July. 4
Country Planning From Coast to Coast to Do Extra
 Homage to His Name This Year

local celebration in the whole country is the dedication of the re- stored Fort Necessity at Uniontown. Pennsylvania. However, New York city, Kansas City, Missouri, and Washington, D. C.. have also planned unusually impressive eele- brations for to-day, beginning the day with the firing of salutes. ring ing of bells. and ending it with a display of fireworks.
 It has always been practice for every American embassy, Legation and Consulate to observe July 4th at their posts in every part of the world. To-day they are giving those observances decidedly bi- centennial flavor and for the past months the diplomatic mail pouch es have contained helps and hints from the United States commission for these celebrations so that other nations may know how America honors her greatest.
 Many foreign cities are planning their own tributes. In Budapest. Hungary, they are planting tree near Washington's statue. In DTeSQen, EeTmdny, tnere IS DelnS held a special Fourth of July per- formance at the Albert theater in George Washington's honor, and Italy is inaugurating a series of lectures at the Royal Italian uni- versity for foreigners in Perugia to celebrate the bicentennial, with Foreign Minister Grandi officiat- ing. Sweden, Japan, Canada and others also informed the federal commission of plans for festivities.
 One hundred and fifty-six years ago George Washington struggled unheralded with his rabble army for the greatest stakes history has ever known. He was fighting to make a great people free and in- dependent. The world, if it thought of him at all. laughed at the fool ishness of the unequal struggle. To- day, uncounted millions of citizens of the country he fought for and fathered are paying him homage. and foreign countries pause to join in this great tribute.

171' AUTOMOBILES STOLEN IN SIX MONTHS
Decrease Of Nine Over Same Period
 In Previous Year
TO Recovered Attestng Claim of Police That Fear of
 Apprehension Soon Forces Thieves to Abandon Cars-Teletype Aids in Running Down Thieves

years there has been a noticeable decrease in the number of ma- chimes taken either without the permission of the owner or with malicious intent to steal. The po- lice attribute this fact to the fear of persons being apprehended. With in few minutes after a car has been reported taken or stolen a description of it Is in the hands of the police of numerous cities and towns. As the teletype also broad- casts word to the various barracks of the state police throughout the state the fear of detection and ar- rest has apparently been well cirr culated. It has acted as a deter- rent in the reduction of the num- Der of machines taken.
 The police often express the be- lief that automobile owners make 1t easy for auto thiefs to take a car by their action in leaving machines parked on the streets at night. Many fail to lock the doors and of ten times leave the keys in the ig- nition switch which makes it con- venient for persons so inclined to take cars.

Roosevelt Bird
 Sanctuary Grows
Over 13O Species Said to Have Taken Shelter at
 Memorial of Late Ex-President

New York, N. r., July 2.-since' the establishment of the Roosevelt Bird Sanctuary. in 1924. more than 130 species of birds have taken shelter at the spot marking the last resting place of Theodore Roose- welt, at Oyster Bay, L. l., accord ing to an announcement from the National Association of Audubon societies, which owns and adminis- ters the sanctuary.
 The Roosevelt bird sanctuary is a memorial to Theodore Roosevelt, who, when president was instru- mental in establishing 51 federal bird reserves. Roosevelt's keen, personal interest in birds was an important factor in popularizing the bird d-sanctuary movement, and to-day his grave Is surrounded by a 12-acre tract given to the Audu- bon association for a bird sanctuary

Washington, D. C., July Eff George Washington were to ride this country, Monday, the 4th. it Is safe to say that, no matter in what city, town or village he might stop and hitch his horse, he would find Ma putting on her bonnet, Pa dusting off the car seat and Johnny tying up the dog, to join the rest of the citizens in a com- munity celebration of the Two Hundredth anniversary of his birth.
 America's day of all days this year belongs to George Washing ton. Clear across America, the mountains, the plains and the shores are literally ringing to-day with praises of the great American whose bicentennial Is being cele- brated this year with a vigor and patriotism unsurpassed fn the history of our country.
 More than 10000 towns and cities have sent in reports to the headquarters of the United States George Washington Bicentennial commission of local bicentennial committees which have made defi- mite plans for this day. And plans are going forward with in- creasing enthusiasm for the re- mainder of the Bicentennial cele- bration-until Thanksgiving day, the day on which the celebration officially closes.
 On the anniversary of the proc lamation of American Indepen- dence, the Bicentennial Celebra- tion of the Birth of the man who more than any other made the in- dependence a fact reaches a high point. There is scarcely a civilized country to-day where there Is not some observance of this 156th glorious Fourth of July; and, &C., cording to reports pouring into the headquarters of the United States George Washington Bicentennial commission, these honors all take the form of a tribute to George Washington.
 The celebrations will extend to all army posts, National Guard units, naval bases, etc, throughout the country. In New York. Mass achusetts, Connecticut and the other New England states and down the eastern seaboard all the way to Florida there will be Col onial Cavalcades, with fifers and drummers. marching in Continental uniforms thorugh the historic streets of their cities and towns.
 Many cities have chosen this day as particularly appropriate for unveiling of monuments to the Father of Our Country. Rich mond, Virginia: Salt Lake City. Utah; Seattle, Washington; Port. land, Oregon; Boston, Massachu- setts and Cleveland, Ohio, are all holding such ceremonies to-day.

For the first six months of the present year III automobiles were stolen in Waterbury or-a as the au- tllOritfes sometimes prefer to call it were taken without permission of the owner. The total report shows a decrease of nine compared to the number taken during the cor responding period of a year ago. Six cars were recovered here dur ing the past six months and claim ed by the police of other cities.
 { It is an interesting fact that of the I'll machines stolen from this city ITO were recovered. This proves very clearly that the ma chimes were merely borrowed for a few hours and abandoned in other cities by the youths responsible for their disappearance.
 The police have a different ex- planation for the interesting fact. They figure that 1t is due to the fear of apprehension which causes the persons responsible for taking the machines to abandon them af- ter making safe getaway from the city.

in perpetuity. In former years, a road leading from the present high way entered the sanctuary grounds along which. in their boyhood days, Theodore Roosevelt and his cou- sin, w. Emlen Roosevelt. often strolled., and observed the birds, flowers and trees. Later. during their mature years. this was a fav- orite place for them to walk. "How appropriate" comments President Pearson of the Audubon associa- tion, "that this very land, redolent with memories of these two, should be provided by the one as a me- morial to the other."
 The work of developing the sanc- tuary, which is supported by dona- tions, began in January, 1924. An important feature is keeping data on bird life and making scien- tific study of natural bird-foods.
