Receive Legacy
Louisiana Request Ha:
Strange History

NEW ORLEANS, La, Oct. II.
IJP1.-A solution appeared like
" today in the long fight over a
$4,000 legacy bequeathed py
Oakley Harris, New Orleans
gambler, to his fiancee, Miss
Jesse Mcbride.
Harris was shot by Sarah Kell,,
awav, in 1929. On his deathbed
he made a will and bequeathed
Sac, 900 to Miss Mcbride. When
he died, relatives contested the
will and nullified it, on the
grounds that it was not witness
ed.
Thereupon, Mrs. Harris, mother
of the slain man, made a will be-
oueathing $4,000 to Miss Nc,
Bride, who in the meantime had
married Sam Maceo of Galveston,
Texas. :,
When Mrs. Harris died, it was
found that her estate had
dwindled until there was not
$4,000 left to pay Mrs. Maceo;
Attorneys for Mrs. Harris and
Mrs. Maceo then filed an inter
vention in the Oakley Harris case
claiming that the mother was en-
titled by law, to one-fourth OF
the slain gamblers money, and
she had never claimed it..
Relatives who had broken the
Oakley Harris will then filed
countersuit, declaring themselves
forced heirs to Mrs. Harris:
Civil Judge Provosty ruled that
Mrs. Harris was entitled to one
fourth of the Oakley Harris. es-
tate, raising that estate to a sum
which would enable the payment
of the $4,000 to Mrs. Maceo.
Judge Provosty also refused to
recognize the claims of the orig.
inal Harris heirs, to portion OF
the deceased mothers estate. The
Judge ruled that Mrs. Harris died
in Alabama, and Alabama law
does not recognize forced heirs.
Unless there is an appeal from
Judge Provosty's decision, it ap-
peared likely that Mrs. Maceo
would get the $4,000.

.'Ag.' Department
Going In For Art
Almost Every Line But
Dancing Represented
By HARRY FERGUSON
limited Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON. Oct. 21. (UP)
Up at the agriculture department
where people have been preoccu-
pied for years with barley, pigs
and alfalfa, art has come into
its own. and the result, comrades,
is something to see.
All the treasures Of the louvre,
all the masterpieces that Leon
ardo da Vinci left strewn IN the
palaces of renaissance Italy. fade
TO nothing when you confront
the mechanical hen that lays an
egg and the cast-iron cow that
moos. Landscaping, sculpture,
painting, architecture. literature
all the arts with the solitary
exception of ballet dancing are
practised by federal officials who,
a year ago, were content to go
their hum-drum way estimating
the number of boil weevils 1.-THE
insect VARIETY in the nation.
Even the supremacy of Holly

of American arts threatened.
For the agriculture department
has gone into the motion picture
business, and can produce either
a silent or a talkie quicker than
you can say processing tax:
The latest Of these cellulold
Jewels is a one-reel silent entitled

1t is a melodrama with a for
est fire playing the hero and a
carless cigarette smoker, the vii
liam. The stark. simple plot fol-
lows the style of the great Rus
sian masters. 1t depicts mans
unceasing struggle against the
forces of nature. The william
drops a lighted cigarette and
presto Enter the hero-red hot.
The moral of the film is never

Then they have one called
mosquitoes" which includes some
underwater shots that would
send William Beebe right back
to the bottom of the sea. 1t de-
picts mosquito larvae in a battle
against civilization, which is rep
resented by a can of kerosene.
SYMBOLISM, see? Civilization
wins, but only after the greatest
fight the movies have seen since
Joan and Doug, Jr., called IT
quits.
Sculpture is represented by
three life-size figures-a farmer,
his wife and a federal agent:
Uncle Sam is in the background
hiding behind a silo. The agent
SAYS in one of those comic strip
balloons, that he thinks the
wheat acreage ought to be cut.
The farmer says maybe there's
something in what you say. The
farmers wife says she thinks
wheat acreage ought to be cut,
and that practically closes the
matter. Uncle Sam says "hoo-
ray" The silo says it won't say
anything until it has chance to
see it's lawyer. Dimly in the
background is the capitol dome.
It's silent, too. showing that con-
gress is not in session.
The cast-iron COW lies more in
the field of invention than art,
but still and all, it's a pretty
little thing. 1t moos by means
of bellows and if it could only
cook. -.
Don't tell soul about the me-
chanical hen that lays an egg.
After all, they're trying to cut
down production, not increase 1t.

Liquor Embargo
Shocks Britons

LONDON, Oct. 81. (UP)-The
British distillers were shocked and
indignant at the United States
embargo on foreign liquors and
wines. -,
They already have negotiated
for huge sales to American inter-
ests, it was pointed out, the sums
involved totaling possibly IN the
neighborhood of 100000 pounds
sterling (about $9.1S0,O00).
Furthermore, the distillerles
here and in Scotland have been
running full blast in recent
months, anticipating huge and
continuous orders following the
repeal of prohibition in America.
In 1882, three-fourths of the
Scottish distillers closed with as
high as 10 years supplies on hand
which they were unable to sell,
due to excessive taxation.
Distillery shares doomed re-

she should do. Stay in New YORK

work and showed friendly inter-

more attractive.
Was 1t possible that she could
be falling in love with him? With
Dick? Was It possible that she
had been mistaken in her devo-

All that Sheila was sure OF was
that she was very tired and miser-

that it was easier because she
