Mrs. Witherspoon died recently
leaving q $1,000 trust fund for the
care Of her surviving canary birds
and other pets. deviSing them to

would give them "affectionate care

BANS VTVISECTION
Out Of her 100000 estate she
made other requests, including
some to the Animal Rescue League
and Humane Society, and gave the
residue to the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition with the injection that
none Of the money would be used
to acquire birds or animals for the
purposes Of viviSection.
Now that the story of her
unique requests has been broad
cast through the press, there come
applications from persons in more
than 40 States. All say they are
not interested in the $1,000 fund,
but know that q wealthy person
like Mrs. Witherspoon must have
kept valuable birds and they
would like to have the birds for

PARTITION DEAL
LAID TO LEADER
OF ZION GROUP
Weizmann Accused by
Jewish Party Head

LONDON, Aug. 10 GN.S)
Charges that DR.. Chain Weiz
mann, president Of the worlc
ZionistS organization, made a Sc
cret deal pre-committing the Zion
lists to the Palestine partition plal
were made in the London Eve
ming Standard today in a state
ment by Meier Grossman, leade,
of the Jewish state party.
GroSsman also presented docu
ments quoting Colonial Secretar!
William A. Ormsby-Gore as saying
British admirals were after" hin
with regard to Haifa.
The printed allegations appeared
as the Jewish Agency Council me
at Zurich to take up the partition
plan.
REVEALS DOCUMENTS
: Commenting on his disclosure
Of secret negotiations between DR.
Weizman and Ormsby-Gore
Grossman told the Evening Stand
ard:
Z II made public two documents,
namely the minutes of a CONVEX.
Sation July 10 between DR.. Weiz-
mann and Mr.. OrmSby-Gore, as
well as a copy Of a letter DR..
'Weizmann wrote to Mr.. OrmSby-
Gore in order to show that while
the Zionist Congress was dis
cussing the partition plan, the
president of the Zionist organ
ization in part had already COM
mitted the movement to the
plan.
4 THE minutes Of the converse
ton and the letter show that
DR.. Weizmann was ready to &C
cept the plan with what con-
slider minor improvements and
notifications.
SCHEME ASSAILED
mo word was mentioned
about Neged, or the south part
of Palestine, which is excluded
from the proposed independent
Jewish) state.
Il contend that neither DR..
Weizmann nor Mr.. OrmSby-
Gore, after that debate in
parliament, HAD any right to
make a scheme privately behind
the backs of the Zionist Organ
ization or the British parlia-
ment."
DR.. Weizmann. said Grossman
admitted the authenticity Of tn
document.
In our opinion" the leader Of
the Jewish State party con-
tinued, DIR. Wizemann should
be asked to resign in order to
show the Jewish people that he
will never submit to threats and
never submit to dismemberment
of our historic homeland"
WEIZMANN ANGERED
Documents made public b!
Grossman quoted the colonial sec
rotary promising important
notifications in the partition
plan. OrmSby-Gore told DR.. WeiZ
mann. according to the docu
n1entS:
The admirals have been after
me with regard to Haifa."
DR.. Weizemann allegedly replied
that if the British admiralty "trieC
to collar Haifa, We would maxi
things extremely unpleasant TO
them at Geneva" before the man
dates commission of the League O.
Nations.
Angered by Cheeseman's reveal
tons, DR.. Weizmann told the Even
ing Standard:
Il did make a confidential re.
port of my conversation with Mr..
Ormsby-Gore. 1 do not know
how Mr.. GroSSman obtained it.
He had no business to publish it.
There is nothing which needs to
be hidden, but it is a report of
a private conversation and no
body has any right to disclose it,"

DOCTORS FEAR
SLEEP BEAUTY'S
DEATH is NEAR
Mcclure Girl Taken to
Chicago Hospital

CHICAGO, Aug. 10 UNS0.
The long, heart-breaking fight to
lift Patricia Mcguire out Of the
coma in which she has lain for
five and one-hait years appeared
near it's end today.
Taken secretly to hospital the
sleeping beauty of Oak Park"
was reported in a grave condition
after taking a sudden turn for the
worse, ami physicians privately ex-
pressed the belief she cannot live
much longer.
Neither the family Of the young
woman nor her own doctor,
Eugene F.. Traut. would comment
on the reports beyond admitting
that "She is a very sick girl" and
required hospital attention.
MOTHER DEVOTED
She has been attended at home
by her mother, Mrs. Peter Miley
since she was stricken with sleep
ing sickness early in 1882.
In the intervening years the
fight to save Miss Maguire'S life
has been Of paramount interest In
medical circles, and aroused world
wide sympathy and concern.
Many doctors said from the first
that the disease would eventually
prove fatal, but both her parents
and DR.. Traut continued to work
for her recovery. Every known
treatment was tried.
The girls Slumber continued
until last week when her tempera-
ture suddenly began to climb. A
consultation was called but no rea-
son could be found.
OPERATION DELAYED
It was learned the doctors now
fear she is suffering from an in
lection of the circulatory system
as a result of her long siege In
bed. Such a disorder, it was said,
sometimes brings on gangrene.
An operation was said to be con-
templated, but action was delayed
in fear that Miss Mcguire might
not survive the ordeal.

Worry Over
3-StOry TrGiLers? Not
In Nassau!

NEW YORK, Aug 10 (C.TPS).
Village officials scattered over
Nassau county, who recently went
on record as being frightened by
reports about two and three
story automobile trailers, can re-
lax now.
The bureau Of motor vehicles
has announced that its experts
do not, believe trailers are ever
going to reach such heights that
fire escapes will be necessary.
The Nassau county officials en-
viSioned a great influx of trailerS
to their environs during the pro-
posed Worlds fair. They visual
lied trailers containing their own
potato cellars and basement bars,
and maybe with rental agents.
But that, said the motor vehicle
bureau, can't happen here.
The vehicle and traffic law
says that from top of tier to top
of trailer, the vehicle shall not
exceed Is feet. The law provides
also that the overall length of
trailer and car shall not exceed
IS feet.

Adoption
Is Approved
By Senate

The Districts modern adoption
measure, with changes agreed to
in conference with the House, was
approved today by the Senate.
Conferees on behalf Of both
houses agreed yesterday to accept
a modified version of one amend
ment added by the House and re-
jected the other. The first amend.
ment does away with the necessity
of an investigation of the child If
it is a ward of a recognized char
liable or religious organization.
The other amendment would have
sealed the records in the case from

Approval of the conference re-
port will send the measure di'
