year before he was fatally shot at Win
Salem, N c., is to be filed for pro-
bate here soon, leaving his entire share
of the Reynolds tobacco millions, ex-
cept for a few specific bequests. to his
brother and two sisters.
From a source close to the Reynolds
family it was established today that the
will was drawn during the Summer Of
1881 while young Reynolds was occupy
ing a Long Island cottage near the
Summer residence Of Libby Holman.

dictment for his murder. He was not

quest of $4,000 to Smith. Reynolds
friend, Albert Walker, who is also at
liberty under bail awaiting trial for the
murder Of Reynolds.
There are also said to be bequests OF
$4,000 each to Reynolds first wife,
Anne Cannon Reynolds, and their
daughter, Anne Cannon Reynolds, IL.

One Of the longest articles in the will
is understood to be directed at prevent

provisions.

belief before judicial body that this
document is not Reynolds last will and

TN the labyrinth of underground pas
sageWays and tunnels being con-
Structed in downtown washington,
/ both for heating and air condition
ing the new public buildings now
under construction, has been d-scov-
cred what is perhaps one Of the most
historic old relics Of the early days OF
the Capital-an old stone wall about 10
or 20 feet underground near the cor
ner of Fourteen street and Constltu-
ticn avenue. in the Mall.
Exactly what this old wall was used
for has not been definitely established
by those familiar with the early history
of Washington. However, conjecture
points strongly to the wall as part OF the
old Washington City Canal, which
flowed through that part OF the Capital.
Tunnel Goes to Basin.
The wall was unearthed during ex-
cavation for the cooling-system tunnel
near Fourteenth street and Constitu-
ton avenue Al that point, it Is planned
to connect a large 48-inch pipe With
the old concrete water tunnel which
was used years ago by the Potomac Eiec-
trc Power Co. plant ct the corner OF
what was then Fourteenth and B
streets.
This tunnel runs from the Tidal Basin
to the site Of the old power plant. The
Tidal Basin end has been shut of and
a pump is constantly working at the
Fourteenth street end Of the tunnel to
pump out the water which has fllled
it for many years. This old tunnel Is

then to be inspected for necessary re-
pairs, placed in condition and is to be
used to get water from the Tidal Basin
by gravity for use in the air condition
ing system to be used in the new Fed
eral buildings now under way.
The wall was found at level about
Is feet below the surface of the Mall.
1t consists Of native stone. and that
part of the wall which was unc overed
was found to be intact, and is used now
to help support the sides Of the deep
excavation to prevent its crumbling.
Proctor Offers Solution.
Artemas c. Harmon. a member Of
the Association of Oldest Inhabitants
of the District Of Columbia. inspected
the wall yesterday and expressed the
opinion it probably was the south wall
of the old canal.
John Clagett Proctor, vice president
Of the association, thought 1t might b.
one Of threee things-either part OF
the canal wall; a part of the wall OF the
so-callei basin" an enlarged part OF
the canal where boats turned about. or
it might have been used as a part OF
an abutment for bridge. There was a
bridge over the canal at Fourteenth
street, Mr. Proctor said.
Reports on the wall have beeen turned
over to Neal A. Mel:ck. United States
construction engineer. in charge OF the
air conditioning system project. He
probably will make a careful examlna-
ton of the place to obtain more definite
data
