Argentine Establishes
Minimum Grain Price
BY the Associated Press


BUENOS AIRES, May 29.-The
Argentine government established
minimum prices in the grain futures
markets today, forbidding further
transactions in cereals and linseed
at prices below the closing quota
tions of two days ago.
Its decree came week after it
had fixed a maximum range of
f1uctuation permissible in any days
trading.
Prices declined sharply yesterday
IN the local and Rosario markets,
rejecting capitulation of the Bel
gians in the European war.
This drop apparently motivated
the drastic decree. which stated that
the rapid succession of unforeseen
events was having an adverse
psychological effect and causing
quotations to drop to an unjusti-
fed extent.

It's all because of disagreement between
Daughters and a Son of the American Revolution.
The Daughters plan to dedicate monument
the batleshp Augusta, which figured in the battle
of Red Bank and whose hulk, they told is
partly visible in the Delaware off Gloucester, NJ j.
But Dr. Carroll H. Francis, U. S. Navy retired
Camden historian and Son of the A. R. himself
contends: (a) that the Augusta not an Aneri-
can ship which persisted bravely for the cause but
the contrary, enemy craft which was blown
up and sunk by the Continentals october a. TIT;
CD that it went down Billingsport, 10 miles
from Gloucester and Co that what the OAR pro-
poses to glorify probably is old ferryboat that
sank in the mud at that spot years ago.
In firing his broadside, DR.. Carroll quotes Adj

describes it British ship of GA guns under COM

NEW YORK, Jan. 11.-Henry l..
Doherty's great fortune, composed
mostly of Cities Service securities
and Florida real estate, has been
bequethed in its entirety to his
widow, who before their marriage II
years ago had nursed him through
a critical illness.
The will of the 69-year-old utili-
ties magnate, who died December
26 in Philadelphia, was filed for
probate today. 1t was brief and the
only beneficiary listed was Mrs.
Grace Doherty, the widow.
There was no value placed upon
the estate, other than the usual
formal declaration that it was more
than 10000 An appraisal for tax
transfer purposes will be made later.
In an affidavit, however, which
the widow filed with the wiz, the
net value of the estate was placed
at substantially in excess OF ST.
100000"
Mr.. Doherty was described as. a
resident of New York.
His entire fortune is in securities
of Henry L. Doherty & Co., Inc,
of which he owned all the stock.
This firm was set up in 1928.
While no official estimate of his
Cities Service holdings was given
in the will, it can be said authorita-

holder in the company, and that he
