missed by District Court. Attorney
Ernest F. Henry appeared for the
collectors of the estate.
Mr.. Watkins was jailed for some
two weeks here on charges OF con-
tempt of court by failing to turn
over to the collectors. Mr.. Wat
kins was indicted in 1888 by the
District grand jury OF charges OF
grand larceny, embezzlement and
larceny after trust for allegedly
taking some $4,000 in bonds and
cash from Mr.. Fischer, who was
about 80 years old when he died.
The Government said that Mr..
Watkins had Mr.. Fischer name him
as beneficiary in his will, dated
April II, 1885.
This will was contested by Mr..
Fischer's heirs and jury set 1T
aside, finding that the testator, who
died at Garfield Hospital Septem-
ber %. 1885, did not have sufficient
mental capacity to make will and
that undue influence was used.
Indictment Dismissed.
The Government subsequently dis
missed the indictment against Mr..
Watkins, presumably because the
testator, the complaining witness,
was dead, but later Mr.. Watkins
got into legal difficulties when a
previous will was admitted to pro-
bate and the collectors ordered him
to turn over $36,108, which the
jury fixed as the value of the es-
tate.

The Probate Court of the District
of Columbia has power to require
person to deliver property of an
estate to collectors and, on his re-
fusal to do so, to commit him to jail
for contempt of court.
This was the decision today of the
United States Court of Appeals in
deciding here for the first time that
Probate Court has Jurisdiction, in
certain instances, to determine the
ownership of property.
The case came to the fore when
Henry j. Watkins, jr., Of Front
Royel, Va, former district manager
of Henry L. Doherty Co. here, was
accused by the collectors of an es-
tate of failing to turn over to them
some $36, ,108. The collector had been
named by Probate Court to conserve
the estate of the late Ernst G..
Fischer, one time chief Of the in

Admiral Caperton,
Head Of Pacific Fleet
In World War, Dies
Veteran of Al Years
In Navy Had Served
Several Tours Here

Admiral William Banks Caperton,
86, commander-in chief of the
United States Pacific Fleet during
the first World War, died yesterday
at Newport, R. l., after long illness,
the Associated Press reported. He
was the oldest retired American of
his rank and had spent At years in
the Navy. In recent years he made
his home at Newport and had been
hospitalized several months.
Admiral Caperton for many years
was an important figure in the pa
cifcation of the troubled affairs OF
the West Indies and Central
America.
On July %. 1915. while stationed
In the Caribbean, within an hour
after the French Legation at Port
au Prince, Haiti, had been violated
and the mutilated body of the Hal
tian president had been dragged
through the streets the then rear
admiral arrived and landed Marines
and sailors from the battleshlp
Washington.
His skill in handling the affair be-
fore the election of new President
and his work in developing law and
order in the Dominican Republic
brought prompt recognition from
President Wilson. In July, 1916,
President Wilson. ignoring seniority.
made him commander in chief OF
the Pacific Fleet with the rank OF
full admiral.
Made Good Will Visits.
As head of the Pacific battle force
he worked further to create inter-
American friendship. When our re-
lations with Mexico were strained he
cruised along the West Coast making
goodwill visits at various Mexican
ports.
About the same time the Nicara-
guam presidential election was due
with potentialities of unrest. He left
his fleet and went to the capital
where he worked with DR.. Benjamin
L. Jefferson. United States minister,
to prevent a revolution. To their
credit, it was one Of the most quiet
and orderly the country had ever
experienced.
During our participation in the
World War, Admiral Caperton kept
the feet in readiness and did much
to develop Latin American co-opera-
ton with this Nation by cruises to
q number of west coast ports.
After five and a half years OF sea
duty, he hauled down his flag at
Portsmouth, N. H, in April OF 1919
He was retired the same year as
rear admiral but was advanced to q
full admiral on the retired list
later.
A native of Spring Hill, Tenn, ht
was graduated in 1875 from the
Naval Academy, spending his early
years in a wide variety of assign
ments, beginning as a cadet on the
old frigate Constellation.
Served Several Tours Here.
He had several tours of duty here
In the Navy Department, including

Bypass May Require
Relocating Golf Green

BY the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, Dec. pa. H.
Bell, planning engineer of the State
Highway Department, said today
that the proposed Fort Belvoir by
pass from Occoquan to Washington
talternate Route - might require
the relocation of one golf green at
the Army and Navy Country Club,
but otherwise would not materially
affect the club property.
The general location of the new
highway would be slightly west Of
Army and Navy drive.
The plans are all tentative and
no right of way has been acquired,

hinge on whether Federal funds are

as it existed according to his
conviction. The object of Lis
journey to Great Britain was to
explain to those circles which he
considered accessible to reason
able arguments the real position
of England and also the position
Of Germany.
Rudolf Hess viewed the
German-Brit struggle as q
struggle between the two great
Nordic peoples which, if it was
continued long, could have only
one outcome, according to his
conviction: The complete de-
struction of Great Britain.
Rudolf Hess therefore flew
to Britain IN order to explain to
circles with whom he hoped .
get in touch the in-the-long-run
fully hopeless situation of Great
Britain and to show them the
unassailably strong position of
Germany.
WOULD "ENLIGHTEN"
HE believed It to be possible
to induce, by his personal inter-
vention, those circles in Great
Britain who re prepared to
make peace to enlighten the
British public still more on the
true position of Britain and thus
to prepare perhaps after all soil
for German British understand
ing.
Rudolf Hess under mol cir
cumstances had the intention of
getting in touch with Winston
Churchill. On tie contrary, he
wanted to address himself to the
inner political opposition az inst

ably from his notes which

Japan's current offensives In the
interior Of China were described
today by foreign military OBJ

tactics which have held the

These sources expressed belief

Of relieving Chinese pressure on
the japanese bases and supply
lines. They said the japanese lost
the initiative two year ago by
reaching the limit Of their abil-
ity to hold and adequately police

Lost Initietivs More Than
Two years Ago. Experts Say

"The present offensives are
moppins-up operations" he said.
"The Chinese refuse % take the
offensive - therefore we must
strike"
Foreign observers In Shanghai
compared present japanese cam.
paigns, ~ well a. those Of the

with the act Of pushing q stick
into q sandpile. Whsn the SILK
is withdrawn, the sand foods
back into the hole.
It has become standard Chi.
nese tactics, they said, for the
defenders to slip away when the
japanese struck. Then, when
the japanese return to their
bases, the Chinese move back
to resume harassing attacks. -.--.-.,.
The periodic mopping-up cam
paigns of the japanese and their
subsequent Withdrawals have
left the war picture essentially
unchanged, these observers ~
serted, beyond the human losses
which China can better afford
than japan.
japanese conquest in China
reached the high-water mark In
1898, these men say, when the
capture of Canton and Hankow
failed to bring about China's
submission.
Today the japanese are baf-
fled and at q loss to know how to
move next in the China affair,
the foreign observers stated,
adding that the japanese lack
military strength necessary to
break the stalemate.
Yesterday, however, the Japa-
nese command reported that the
offensive along the Yellow river
was nearing q successful conclu-
sion as japanese forces on the
south bank seized six fording
places, thus assertedly cutting
off retreat of 100000 Chinese
troops seeking to escape from
Shansi.
In Hupeh province, the Japa-
nese, advancing to the northwest
along both banks of the Han
river, reported they were driv-
ing back another body of 200, 900
Chinese. ~
Contrasting the futile cam
paigns in the interior, military
observers agree that the Japa-
nese obtained important results
in their recent operations along
the coast whereby they clamped
down on Chungking's supply
lines.
