Bs the Associated Press NEW YORK, August 5—Alexander Smith Cochran, carpet manufacturer, philanthropist and yachtsman, who died June 20, 1929, at Saranac Lake, N. Y. left a net estate cf $38.977,237, a trani fer tax appraisal filed today disclosed. Most of the estate was left to relatives and the philanthropist left specific directions in his will that his former wife, now Ganna Walska Mc- Cormick. “shall not share in any part of my estate.” Another paragraph in his will directed that in the event he | Stanford Star Takes Pole Vault Title EDDIE TOLAN, OLYMPIAD'S FASTEST HUMAN, POSES WITH RUNNERS-UP. | | 1 | should have failed to dispose of any| property end “the said Ganna Walska | McCormick would by reason of such | failure be entitled to share therein, | then I hereby expressly give, devise and | ‘bequeath ch proverty cr 1n!nest; therein to my next of kin, sceording to | DEDUCTIONS RULED DURING ROBBERIES Victims Treated Roughly as Hold-up M<n Obtain Cash Amounting to $125.

The largest of the estate. approxi- mately $20,000.000, was left to a nephew, Thomas EWing, jr., with offices at 475 Fifth avenue. Cochran's three sisters and _two brothers each received $1.000.000. They included Anna C_ Ewing of Yonkers. N. Y.; Elinor C. Staw~rt »f Plainfi~d. N. J., and William F. Cochran of New York and Baltimore. Each of 16 nieces and nephews re- eeived $500,000. The will explained his special pro- vision that his former wife receive none of his estate was due to his having “heretofore, by written agreement, made provisions” for her support. Trust Fund Set Up. This agreement set up a $300,000 trust fund for Mrs. McCormick with the Bankers' Trust Co. and was drawn May 1, 1922. It provided that in the event) the income from the trust fund should not amount to $20,000 a year, he would pay the difference in cash at the end of such vear. It was evident this sum did fall short, for listed in the debts of the estate is n item of $5.676 due the ! trust company under the agreement. | The estate, appraised as of the day of Cochran's death, has shrunk in value, but no correct estimate of loss could be ascertained Under the terms of employes, who proved employed for 20 years, the will 1.134 they had been received $1,000 FORUS. CIVILIANS McCarl Holds Subsistence and Quarters as Well as Pay Are Afiected. Civilian employes of the Government | who are furnished their subsistence and quarters must suffer a pay deduc- tion under the economy act, not only for their net cash income from the | Government, but also from the valua- tion of such subsistence and quarters. This was decided today by Controller General McCarl, who told the Secretary of War that: | “If an_ employe is on a non-pay status, wh-ther on administrative or legislative furlough, or leave of absence without pay. he would rot be entitled to frce Government quarters, the dater- mired value of which is required by law tn be considered as part of com- pensation.” Not only will the employe on such a status be forced to take a pay cut on | this total compensaticn, including his subsistence and quarters, McCarl held. | but he must pay the Government rent for the quarters he occupies.
