GOVERNORS ANGRY

BOSTON, Nov. 5.-Governors Of six
New England States today considered
carrying to three Federal agencies
their dissatisfaction with the undis-
tributed profits tax, stock market regu-
lation and water resources control.
They postponed action on all ques-
tons until another conference Novem-
ber 18, after hearing Gov. Charles F.
Hurley, Democrat, of Massachusetts
criticize the profits tax as likely to
discourage industry from embarking
on major expansion"
Mr.. Hurley also suggested the Fed
eral Reserve Board require the same
margin for "long" and short" traders,
asserting that otherwise the Federal
Reserve appeared to be trying to
influence the trend of the market
through giving the advantage first to
one and then to the other of the
opposing forces"
The conference opposed legislation
now before Congress to give the Fed
eral Government control over State
water resources, asked six to eight
weeks advance notice before the
Bituminous Coal Commission set min
imum prices. and deferred action on
New England freight rates.

ONE BATTLE ENDS
ON GREEN'S WILL
Sister Gets $60,000,0 900
Rail Estate Over Wife, and
Now 5 States Start In.
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-The bitter
battle over the will of Col. Ed
ward H. r. Green, eccentric son of
an eccentric mother, was settled today
with his sister the victor, but it only
accentuated the contest of five States
for taxes on the vast estate.
Surrogate Harry E. Owen of Essex
County, N. Y. awarded the bulk of
the $4,000. .000-to- $50, 100000 estate
to Mrs. Matthew Astor Wilks, who in
turn agreed to pay s5O0,0OO to the
colonel's widow, Mrs. Mabel Harlow
Green.
Mrs. Green contested the will on the
grounds that pre-nuptial agreement
she made with her husband, signing
away her rights to his estate for an
$4,000 annuity was obtained fraudu-
lently, and that she was entitled to
one-third of the estate.
In his decision Surrogate Owen vir-
tually wiped out any tax claim New
York might have on the fortune. He
ruled that Green was not a resident
of the State when he died at Lake
Placid, N. Y, June 8, 1896. but he did
not attempt to establish Green's resi-
dence.
This served to emphasize court fights
that have been in progress not only in
New York but in Texas, Vermont, Mas
sachusetts and Florida to determine
the legal residence of the man whose
hobbies were many, whose tongue was
often caustic.
The will, made in 1908, named
Green's mother - Hetty Green, who
rolled up millions in railroading and
determined to keep it in the family
regardless of any wife or husband
whom members might marry-as bene-
fciary with his sister, resident of
New Bedford, Mass. as alternate.
Mrs. Wilks is the widow of Matthew
Astor Wilks, great grandson of the
first John Jacob Astor, who died in
1926. He left an estate of over
$1,oO0,oO0, but this was dwarfed by the
sum left by Hetty Green, who died in
1916.

Apples Popular in Britain.

Apples are the most popular fruit in
Great Britain, according to a report
of the Imperial Economic Committee.
In 1886 the consumption was 20

oranges were most desired, but con-

Spain. The banana had a phenom-

Henderson sat down abruptly and

drew some papers from his pocket

There were few unopened letters

The first was an advertisement and
he tossed it aside. The next was
from the furniture company. He
frowned over it as he opened the
envelope. Why should they write to
him at the office? Sally had been
taking care of the monthly payments,
