 This will is necessarily uncom- mon and capricious because I have no near relatives and no duty rests upon me to leave property at my death. What I do leave is proof of my folly in gathering and retaining more than I required in my life time"

 One share of bremery stock to every Orange lodge and active Protestant minister in Toronto. ex- ccpt one "Spracklin who shot a hotel keeper" in an enforcement raid (when ontario was dry).
 One share of brewery stock to club to every active minister in Windsor and Sandwich, Ont.

Providence, R. l., Mar 2S.-(UP) The 63-year-old Roger Williams Baptist church, used for many years as a community house and library, was destroyed by fire early today, loss being estimated at $25.O00.

Among the spectators was the Rev York A. King, pastor.
 Dense smoke, prevented by fire proof shingling from escaping up- ward, impeded firemen in their early efforts to control the fire, and they concentrated upon wetting down the stone church and resi- dences. The fire originated near the boiler room of the old wooden church building. The structure was located at the junction of Cranston and Ford streets.

By HERBERT MOORE

United Press stan COrresEOnUent)
 London, March 23-(UP)-J. H. Thomas, dominions secretary, in- formed the house of commons to- day that the British government stands firmly against abolition of the oath to the king and non-pay- ment of the land annuities, as pro- posed by the republican govern ment of Ramon de Valera in the Irish Free State.
 "The government is addressing to the Free State government a communication which will make their standpoint clear beyond the possibility of doubt on the ques. tion of the oath" he said.
 Failure to pay the land annui- ties would be a manifest violation of an agreement which is binding in law and honor on the Irish Free State, whatever administration might be in power"
 Thomas stated the governments position after an audience with the king and an important cabinet meeting.
 Thomas, in reply to a question, confirmed the published contents of communication from John w. Dulanty, Free State commits sioner in London, in which the Free State contended the oath was not made mandatory in the treaty of 1921.

PROBE ON

GRIFFIN, Ca, July 20 G.N.S0.
The searching finger of justice
today began the task of affixing
blame for the death of a colored
convict in Georgia chain gang
camp.
Acting swiftly on the recon-
mendation of a coroner's jury,
a special session of the Spalding
County Grand Jury convened to-
day to launch a thorough investi-
CATION into the prisoners death.
A week ago, j. T. Lassiter,
negro convict at the road camp
near here, collapsed and was
brought to a hospital for treat
ment.
Capt. P. H. Randall, camp
superintendent, said the convict
was suffering from sunstroke.
A few hours later he died.
An autopsy revealed the con-
vict died as the result of a frac-
tured skull.
A coroner's jury was assembled
and testimony of prisoners dis
closed that the convict had been
disciplined" by CAPTAIN Randall.
