Julia To his widow, he bequeat home at Je A" bequest of the Methodist AWheaton, 111, known as the Gar morial Church, and $50,000 to Mc- Kendree College, Lebano Other bequests were $5 the University of Pittsburgh, Lafay. ette, Trinity College, Lincoln Memo- rial Unive Harrogate; Syra- cuse University and Northwestern and New York University. To each of the servants in the Gary homes §1,000 and securities are to be bequeathed at the end of 10 vears' service. All of the residue of the es- tate is to be divided between the two daughters and the widow of Mr, Gary. The New York Trust Co. is named as executor and trustee of the estate. In the will Mr. Gary left much busi. ness advice to his wife concerning in- vestments, the making of loans in an- ticipation of the income which she would derive from the estate. The value of the estate was given formally as “more than $10,000 in real and more than $10.000 in personal property” but the will provides spe- cific bequests of more than $2,000,000. Disposal of Trust Funds. On the death of Mrs. Sutcliffe, her frust fund passes to her son, Elbert Gary Sutcliffe, and on the death of AMrs. Campbell her daughter, Julia Elizabeth Campbell, is to receive the trust fund. These trust funds are to pass to the children of Elbert Sutcliffe and Julia Campbell. In the event that they have no heirs, the will provides, the income from the trust funds is to pass to the other heirs Gary’'s two daughters are also be- queathed the Gary cemetery plot at Wheaton, 1ll. The will directs that his body be placed in one of the crypts there and that the body of his first wife be placed in an adjoining crypt. The will further directs that the body of his second wife be placed in another adjoining crypt “unless she directs otherwise.” It was provided also that the bodies of Gary's father, niother, brother, sister and daugh! also be placed in crypts in the mu leum. A number of trust funds of $50,000 each, to be known in perpetuity as the Elbert H. Gary scholarships, are to be created to pay tuition fees of students least able to pay their tuition. Advice for Investments. The institutions which will receive these trust funds are: McKendree Col- lege, Lebanon, Ill.; the University of Pittsburgh, La Fayette College, Eas- ton, Pa.; Trinity College, rtford, Conn.; Lincoln Memorial University, Harrogate, Tenn.; Syracuse University, Syracuse, N. Y.; Northwestern Uni- versity, Chicago, and New York Uni- versity. A caution against uncertain invest. ments was contained in one of the sec- tions of Mr. Gary's advice to his bene. ficiaries. “I earnestly request my wife and my children, or descendants,” he wrote, “that they steadfastly decline to sign any bonds or obligations of any kind as surety for any other per- son or persons; that they refrain from antieipating their incomes in any re- spect; -that they refuse to make any loans except on the basis of first-class, well known securities, and that they invariably decline to invest in any doubtful or untried securities or prop- erty or enterprises or business. “They should reject any representa- tion or opinion of others if involved in any doubt. They will be approached frequently with suggestions for in. vestments that are not entitled to be relied upon from a business stand- point.” A proviso of the will would bar from benefit any beneficiary who attempts to break the will. 000 was made to scopal Chur WIVES SAY HUSBANDS FAIL TO GIVE SUPPORT Two Complaints Are Filed in Dis- trict Supreme Court, Reciting Marital Difficulties.

At the time of Mrs. Borodin's arrival in Peking under guard, Chung Tso-Lin executed 20 Chinese Commu- nists, bringing about their deaths by strangling. Many reports were in cute Mme. Borodin. About that time, Senator Bingham arrived in Peking and held a conference with Chang Tso-Lin. Recently Senator Bingham recalled his conversation with Chang. “I have just executed 20 Commu- nists and tomorrow I am going to exe- cute Mme.

Senator Blngham veplied to Senator Bing s criticism, “If you Westerners are so foolish about vour women I will not execute her. but that's what she deserves.” Chang Montagu Triest Is Dead.

D. ¢, AR BODY 10 AT ON STONT FLIEHT Perter Adams Calls Meeting of Contest Committee of Na- tional Aeronautic Ass’n. Interrupting his vacation in New | England because of the apparent dis- astrous culmination of the San Fran. cisco-Hawaii air race for the Dole prize, Porter Adams, president of the jonal Aeronautic Associa- | tion, returned to Washington to- day and issued a call for an early meeting of the contest committee of the association, the Asnerican gov- erning body for aireraft performance: with the view of considering steps that can be taken to prevent a re- currence of the Pacific misfortunes. The committee probably can be as. sembed here the first part of next week “All the contest committee can do to prevent a recurrence of the Dole prize race,” Mr. Adame sald, “is to refuse to sanction any event in the nature of a stunt which does not, on the face of it, contain elements for the advancement of aviation com. mensurate with the risk involved.” Upon his_arrival at his office, Mr. Adams made an effort to locate, by long distance telephone, the contest committee's secretary, F. Schory, BUILT IN THE HOME F PRECISION THE Lincoln motor car is built in the home of precision workmanship. In the Ford Laboratories at Dearborn are produced the Johansson master precision instruments which have enabled Lincoln builders to surpass all formerly estab- lished limits of accuracy. @ Consider what this means. Picture, if you can, the thickness of 2 human hair—three one-thousandths of an inch. Then note that in building the Lincoln car five thousand operations are measured to a closeness of one one-thousandth of an inch, one-third thethickness of a hair. More than that, twelve hundred operations are held to one two-thousandths of an inch. And, incredible as it may scem, three hundred are checked to the amazing accuracy of one four- thousandths of an inch! It is such minute precision limits as these which account for the perfect interchangeability of Lincoln parts. For example, the spring shackle bolts of every Lincoln everywhere are exactly the same to one two- thousandths of an inch. @ Only a fixed ideal to build as well as it is humanly possible, together with the resources and creative genius of the Ford Motor D\ Company, could give the world so fine a motor car as the Lincoln. the crai thousar entire process of grinding the beart ith are Integral parts of shafe, mfi;flumfim d\; mcmu:“e one n are shown by sutamatis shes LINCOLN MOTOR COMPANY DIVISION OF FORD MOTOR COMPANY Lincoln cars range in price from $4600 to 57300; completely equipped, at Detroit TUESDAY, AUGUST 23, 1927. . —— e who is en Long Island, N.

Mr. Schory's presence in Washington was desired to assist in preparing u complete background of the facts leading up to the start of the Dole prize race for the committee. Mr. Adams sald he personally ad- vocated legislation which would lodge in the “air Secretary” of the Com- merce Department the authority to forbid any plane to make a flight of a “stunt character” that could not have, in the opinion of the department’s air experts, a reasonable chance for suc- ces ‘The National Aeronautic Associa- tion,”” said Mr. Adams, “has the advancement of American aviation as its sole object and we will do all in our power to continue the progress | of flylng no matter what steps have to be taken."
