"Last will and testament of Wila liam Fleming. By these presents, may all men know that I, being of sane and sound mind we1l just skip the preamble" Jackson observed.
 ""To my wife, Nelly, give and bequeath, without let or hold OOn- 1 tinued the lawyer, the house and property at A Elm street, together with the sum of $1,000."
 "But he left almost $l5,000l" Bob broke it. Strange that he should leave mother so uttlel"
 "Wait. young fellerp Jackson 1 snapped. "'To my son, Robert. and to my daughter, Nora, II give and bequeath the sum Of $1,5O0 each.'"
 Both Nora and her mother gasped at that. x ! '~And to my brother, Jed, I direct | that the sum of $10,000 be paid from my estate, in return for the numerous services he has rendered me in the past"
 A bombshell in their midst could 1 not have caused more excitement. "Why, that's preposterous," Bob shouted. q can't believe that father | would do thatp
 "Wait," cautioned Jackson. ".Any moneys over and above the sums mentioned above shall revert to my wife, Nelly" he finished. You can see for yourself, young man." Bob took the llnfolded papers and glanced carefully through theins "You're right" he admitted ct last land he named you as the ex- 1 ecutor." Jackson bowed slightly and clasped his hands togetheE nervously as Bob's mother began | to weep softly. Jud scowled and drummed his fingers upon the table,
 "It seems almost unbelievable, mother, but that is what the win reads" Bob walked to the wins dow, rereading the will in the mar. row shaft of sunlight which fell upon the western side of the room. His grasp suddenly frightened upon ! the papers he held in his hand.
 Are you certain all these sigma. lures are genuine?" he sharply queried Jackson.
 q am positive" affirmed the law- yer. In the midst of an .astonished si. lence, Bob strode to the door, lock. ed 1t and put the key in his pocket. Picking up the telephone from its stand in the corner, he called the police department.
 "Why, what sthe meaning of this?" expostulated Jed.
 "You,n have a few years of idle- ness to think 1t over, the both of you," returned Bob shortly. The light in the window showed up the watermark, in this paper.

Jackson hemmed importantly and broke the wax seal which fastened the few sheets f0 legal paper. q hush fell upon the room. Unfold- ing the sheets, Jackson scanned them rapidly.

 Bob Fleming closed the door on the last customer of the day and slid over the bolt. He was glad the day was over, because 1t had been an effort to concentrate upon the stationery business with his mind so preoccupied with his own af- fairs.
 Bob was nothing if not thorough. As great as was his haste to go home to the comfortable house on Elm street where he lived with his widowed mother and his sister Nora, he carefully put away the stock upon the counters and threw a cloth over 8 display table.
 As he walked homeward he wished that his father had not even if it was inevitable, died so sudden ly. Or rather, that the easy-going had of the family had been a bit more explicit or confiding about the condition of his affairs.
 What the will he had left con- tained, the family was entirely ig- norant of, beyond mere speculation. Uncle Jed and the family lawyer, old Jackson, would probably be at the house when he arrived, Bob thought, with the will that Uncle Jed had brought to light.
 An involuntary wrinkle formed in 3obs brow at the mere thought of Uncle Jed. There had never been any cause for distrust, but somehow he had never liked his fathers brother.
 Bob stopped for a moment in the cool hall and let his eyes become accustomed to the comparative darkness of the house after the still bright sunlight of the street. He could hear voices coming from the living room.
 Hello, young Fleming" old Jack son greeted as Bob entered. Uncle Jed merely cleared his thrat and nodded. Bob noted with bit of surprise the similarity of the two men, a,sameness of impression they both gave.
 "I'm so glad you've come at last, Robert" his mother sighed. Mora and I have both been so nervous all day, waiting for MT. Jackson to read the will"
 "Why, that was silly, mother, Bob laughed, "there was nothing to worry about. Naturally, father would have left everything to you, this house and what money he has in the bank"
 "Of course, Nelly" Uncle Jed's thin lips smiled, "it is mere mat ter of form to read a last will"
 "As to that I can't say," inter- posed Jackson. "Jed here informs me that the will was given to him sealed and, as you can see, the seal is still intact"
 "Who drew up the will?" ques- toned Bob. Wasn't it bit unusual for father to let anyone but you handle his legal a1airs?" Jackson coughed deprecatingly.
 "Your father entrusted the mat ter to the assistant I had several years ago, who has since left my employment. But if you will let u. get on with the reading. I am sure 1t is a perfectly legal docu- ment, young man."

BUSINESS WAR . IN PHILIPPINES
 WON BY JAPAN
By EDWARD E. BoMAR !

I ii MANILA Sept. 25.-A txo-ye,aI l Sino- Japanese war over trade in .ithe Philippines is being won by the siJapanese, surveys made. by insular
 government officials and by J. Bart 4 setl Rtchardl, the American trade d commissioner, revealed. !. 9{ A "A decade ago Cninese merchants Ij controlled about 75s percent loi the Il .etail trade of the islands, but now q the Japanese have, virtually over- N hauled their rivals, each having sj about 35 percent, according to Rich ards information. M j The remainder is in the hands of :, FiLpinos, Americans and few seat J tered. municipalities. The. Uni e d i. States continues to supply 65 per ! cent of all imports.
 ' Islands Seen, As Prize 4 A survey by the ipsular, departv
 nlent of agriculture and, commerce
 gave the Japanese only 25 per cent share iof the retail, trade in 1894 compared with 40 percent, for ne Chineae and 30 percent for Fiji 7 .Jirlos, out the trend is unmistakable. Japarl's gains, commented, Euiog-o Rodriguez, insular secretary of az riculture and commerce. opens our eyes to the unlimited possibilities oi expansion and exploitation offersd
 by the Philippines to other coun- tries.1 W ,s.v.4ss .S,f.ss.S M, The. situation is largely a boom erang effect of China's anti Japan i~e boycott of l93l-33 which was re-
 ,5rted even more effective in the philippines than in China itself,
 though entirely unofficial and en- couraged in no way by Philippine apthorities, 9s s5tjv
 In this, period. the Japanese, free ing themselves from dependence on Chinese retail outlets, set up branch or independent commercial houses in Manila, Dayaas ,Cebu, Iloilo ana elsewhere, ssn .,,sf,.sas Chinese Help Rivals
 When the Sino-Japanese Tangku truce was, signed May 31, 1893, the boycott. was immediately lifted in sAe Philippines as in China, Chi nese banks consented to finance i'm ports from Japan. and the trend was accentuated.
 !. Now many Philippine towns have their Japanese shopping districts which rival the older Chinese dis tricts. In Manila Japanese stores have become so numerous that section of; Rizal avenue. a man thoroughfare, is often referred to as the Ginza," after Tokyo's shop- ping district.
 Despite the growing Japansse share of the retail trade, in. volume, the number of Japanese directly en- gagged is comparatively small, &C., cording to government figures. They show 56,355 Filipinos in retail trade, l3,787 Chinese. 752 Japanese and 3O2 Americans. But much of the stock of the small Chinese and Filipino stores is Japanese.

STREET FIGHTS IN IRISH CITY
 PROVE COSTLY
Huge Riots Proving to Be Heavy Drain on Bel
 fast Funds

i RELFAST, Northern Ireland, Sept, Outbreaks of street fighting 1 such as that which recently claimed six lives here, have proved an ex- pens.ve luxury to Belfast's taxpay- CTS since the war
 The city has paid out more than s10.e00, GOO in compensation for in jury. death and destruction in that period.
 By act of parliament, each civic teea 7ury in the British empire is lia- ole for all riot compensation fixed by the courts when it can be proved that more than three persons caused malicious damage either to property CT person, Belfast has found the act a burden.
 Police Grew Sterner
 The city's peak years for rioting bills were from 1921 to 1924, when they totalled $590.OO0. to $4,00O, ,000, s3, ,45O,0O0 and s1,25O, 900, respective ly. Esavy lcss ofilife. entaInIls pay- rent to relatives. and widespread damage to shops and houses con- tributed to the figures.
 Since those peak years, thanks t7 sterner police measures in rioting zones, disturbances have been more quickly nipped, but the recent out burst after Belfasts Twelfth of July demonstration will prove a ssyere blow to the treasury.
 In addition to those killed, more than SO were known to have receiv- cd treatment for injuries.
 Ccbble Stones Removed
 But for the strict preventive mcazures adopted by the authorities in recent years the toll would have been much higher Armorcd cars, curfew laws, banning of professions and prohibition of street gatherings have helped keep matters in hand.
 Another helpful measure has been the ropaving of most of the city's cobb.ed streets with concress. thus .cpr.ving the rioters of their favor- lse ammunition. The initia. cost of repaving was high, but t1s c2na -c may pay for itself in time.
