CHICAGO, ‘February 10.—The Arkansas Children’s Home at Lit- tle Rock, Ark., will receive $30,000, and the four dogs of Mrs. Mar- garet Howard lost a $16,000 be- quest, but won maintenance for life, by an order of Probate Judge Henry Horner today. The jurist refused to admit to probate a pur- ported copy of a later stolen will, sald to have been executed by Mrs. Howard. The case was a confusing one, and besides the purported missing will there was one or more in- struments which attorneys sought to establish, one being unsigned and unsealed. Under the purported dog will Mrs. Tillie Leighton, only heir at law, would have received only §500, but under Judge Horner's order will veceive approximately half of the estate. Under the same purport- ed will Rev. Bdward Lawson of Alli- ance, Ohio, was left $10,000. he court's decision was regard- ed as a compromise. One of the four dogs disappeared the night of . Howard's death and never has so that the benefi the decision will have o dogs to care for. CITY NEWS IN BRIEF. The Connectic unde en’s Club. Representative James P.

DELIVERS ULTIMATUM Declares Government Records Will Be Destroyed in Ten Years Under Present Case. Senator Smoot of Utah, chairman of the public bulldings commission, yesterday assailed the action of the House in refusing to agree to Senate amendments to the independent of- fices appropriation bill, providing for a national archives building the erection of steel filing s Wold government records in the in- werior court of the Pension building. Senator Smoot said that the Senate ynferees had been tuld that as soon as there was a general public build- ings bill, the proposals to record; “Beause house the government cannot have a new ng at Podunk.” said Senator Smoot, “we can't hive an ar- chives building to house the govern- ment records in the District of Co- lumbia.” they Serves Ultimatun Senator Smoot, who was one of the Senate conferees, said that he had given notice that next year If the Senate voted for an archives building. the Senate conferces would not yield on_the matter. The Utah senator said that one of the arguments used against the erec- in the pension building had been that the stacks would cut off the view of some govern. ment officials in the pension building. Senator Smoot said that the erection of these stacks would save the gov- ernment thousands of dollars. The government's valuable records to- day are in such a condition that they great care, and in ten years from now, he said, if nothing is done to preserve them in a better manner, it will be im- possible to read them. Measure Is Indorsed. As long as he continued to be chair- man of the public building commis slon, Senator Smoot said, he would try vear to reduce the expenses of the government and to bring about t+ adoption of proper measures to eguard the government records from destruction by fire Senator Swanson of Virginia, who has been a strong advocate, (00, of the erection of a national archives building in Washington to house the enator Smoot ask the Senate to vote to send the independent offices back to conference and further i upon its amendments for an archives build- ing and for the erection of the s in _the Pension building. “I would like to see this Issue fought out now." said Senator Swan- son. “The Senato has again and again vielded to the House in this matter. The House conferees seem to think that when they say that the House voted against this proposition, they have said it all, and that is an end of the matter. The Senate has its rights and a vote in the Senate is just as re- spectable as a vote in the House.” Hope for Measure Later. Senator Smoot =aid that he had agreed in conference not to push the matter further at the present short session of Congress. But at the next sossion, which is a long session, he promised the matter would be taken up vigorously. Hope for Measure Later. Senator Warren of Wyoming, chair- man of the appropriations committee, d that he agreed with Senator moot that it would be the better| plan to let the present appropriation | bill go through without the provision i for an archives building, and then take the matter up when Congress had more time to conshler it. He sald that the other conferees on the part of the Senate felt just as strongly as Senator Smoot in favor of an archives building. The conference report on the inde- pendent offices bill was finally adopted and the bill now goes to the President. HELD FOR WHITE SLAVERY | i W. H.

NEW YORK, February ~The peaceful calm on the Olymp. .s she lay at her pler at 2 o'clock this morning was disturbed when a tall, muffled figure strode briskly up the gangplank, a bag in either hand. He accosted the watchman. “I want a stateroom,” he sald. “My name is Barrymore—John Barry- more."” The watchman protested, but the early caller was insistent and the proper officials were awakened and the aetor provided with an emergency cabin—his name was not on the passenger list—in the interor of the big liner. Mr. Barrymore, having concluded the record-breaking run of 101 suc- cessive performances of “Hamlet,” had just stopped to remove his makeup when the curtain closed on last night's performance, before he took a taxicab to the dock.
