ROCKEFLLERTAX MAYBESTS 0000 Federal and State Treasur- ies to Be Enriched by $25,- 000,000 Estate, Br the Assoclated Press. WHITE PLAINS, N. Y., June 5— The “relatively small” estate left by John D. Rockefeller, sr., turned out today to be approximately $25,000,000, which may shrink.to $10,000,000 by the time the tax collectors are through. Principal beneficiaries named in the capitalist’s will, which was filed here for probate, were Mrs. Margaret BStrong de Cuevas, a granddaughter, and the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research. Mr. Rockefeller explained, in a codicil dated October 3, 1934, that he already had made ample provision for his other heirs. Much of the tremendous fortune he developed during the first half of his life from the Standard Oil trust, mines, railroads and numerous other enterprises had been spread over a variety of philanthropic institutions | long before he died, on May 23 at Ormond Beach, Fla. The rest had been distributed among members of the family. Estate “Relatively Small.” ‘While neither affirming nor deny- Ing that his fortune once was well in excess of two billion dollars, his pub- lic relations counselors announced at the time of his death that his estate was “relatively small” and liquid.” His public benefactions totaled $530,830,000, and extended into every | corner of the world The petition for the probate of his will listed his personal holdings as “over $10,000.” The $25,000,000 esti- mate was supplied by persons familiar with his affairs. As originally drawn, on June 2, 1925, the will directed that the resid- uary estate be divided equally between his son, John D. Rockefeller, jr., and the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Foun- dation, organized in 1918 in memory of his wife. Codiclls were added on May 14, 1930, and November 4, 1932. But they were of no particular importance in the light of the final codicil, which made a radical change in the disposi- tion of the estate. Codicil Names Mrs. de Cuevas. By the final codicil the entire Tesiduary estate was left in trust to Mrs. de Cuevas and her children. The three trustees, John D. Rocke- feller, jr.; Bertram Cutler, a cor- poration director, and Thomas M. De- bevoise, attorney, were empowered in $heir discretion to pay the income to Mrs. de Cuevas, to her children or —_— e FOUND. ERINDLE BULLDOG. Thursday pea Gmithsonian, _Phone Wisconsin 5554 LCST.

Rockefeller, sr., the oil millionaire, is shown here with her hus- band, George, and their two children, John (left), and Elizabeth. Mrs. de Cuevas was named as the largest beneficiary in the will of the magnate, which was filed at White Plains, N. Y., Fri- day. THE SUNDAY § —Copyright, A. P. Wirephoto. to the Rockefeller Institute for Med- ical Reserach. On the death of Mrs. de Cuevas the trust is to be divided among her descendants, and in turn passed on in principal to her grandchildren, with the proviso that if there are no de- scendants living it is to revert to the Rockefeller Institute. In explaining the bequest, Rockefeller wrote: “I am setting up this trust for the benefit of my granddaughter Mar- garet and her descendants, to the exclusion of my other grandchildren and their descendants, because when the time came that I felt it wise to place upon my children the respon- sibility of owning and administering substantial sums and for that pur- pose made large gifts to or for them, my oldest daughter Bessie, the mother of my granddaughter Margaret, was not living.” Daughter Died in 1906. Bessie Rockefeller Strong died on November 14, 1906. Her husband, Dr. Charles Augustus Strong, former professor of psychology at the Uni- versity of Chicago, now lives in Fie- sole, Italy. Their daughter was married August Mr. 3, 1927, to George de Cuevas, a Span- | | ish marquis. They maintain & home at Lakewood, N. J, but spend most of their time abroad. They are traveling there now with their two children, Elizabeth and John.

A | little less than one-third, or about | 4,350,000 of this, would go to New h | York State. They pointed out, ltow- ever, that some of the estate might . Mr. Rockefeller made provisions in the final codicil to prevent the Rocke- feller Institute from receiving more of the estate than is permitted under State laws, and for filling vacancies that might be created by the death of any of the trustees. Most of the successor trustees named are mem- bers of the family. Aside from Mrs. de Cuevas, the immediate survivors included a son, John D, jr;. a daughter, Mrs. E.

B the Associated Press, LEWISTON, Me, June 5.—Nine John L. Lewis aides were convicted late tonight by an Androscoggin County jury of conspiracy charges growing out of the Lewiston-Auburn general shoe strike. Three others were acquitted by the Jury, which deliberated for 10, hours before returning its verdict. The trial began 11 days ago. Superior Court Justice Arthur Chapman deferred sentence of the nine until later in the term. Each sought to arrange bail. Those acquitted were Benjamin J. Arena, Lewiston, counsel for the Committee for Industrial Organiza- tion; Miss Nina Regar, Lynn, Mass., organizer, and Maurice Filteau, Lew- iston shoe worker. Those convicted were Paul Doyle, Auburn shoe worker, and a group of C. I. O. organizers from Massachu- setts, William E. Thornton, Swamp- scott; John D. Nolan, George Kandor and Paul Salvaggio, al! of Boston, and Willlam J. Mackesy, Martin J. Law- less, William B. Mahan and Mrs. Mary Dauphine, all of Lynn. All were charged with conspiring to injure the business of the Charles Cushman Co,, one of 19 factories in- volved in the drawn-out strike. GOVERNOR OF ALABAMA CONCLUDES VISIT HERE Graves Confers on Lower Freight Rates for Southern Textiles. Honored at Dinner. E the Assoclated Press. Gov. Bibb Graves of Alabama concluded last night a visit to Wash- ington, during which he sought lower freight rates for Southern textiles and conferred with Government offi- cials. Before he left for Alabama his State's congressional delegation gave him a dinner in the private Capitol dining room of one of their number, Speaker MYSTERY SIMILAR IN WO DEATHS Keene Case Like That of Vir- ginia McPherson, Found Dead in 1929. Not since the mysterious death of Mrs. Virginia McPherson rocked the local Police Department in 1929 have detectives and citizens argued 5o vio- lently over suicide and murder theories and methods of tying complicated knots as they have in the investi- gation into the strange death of Charles F. Keene, sr. Ironically, the death of the elderly and feeble real estate man parallels in many strange instances circum- stances which surrounded tne in- vestigation of the vivacious young nurse. Both investigations got under way with officlal investigators leaning toward the suicide theory. Important clues in both cases were knots seldom used by laymen, which were tied in nooses around the necks of the victims. As each investigation unfolded, a muititude of clues were uncovered and divided between proponents ‘of the murder and suicide theories. Solution Seems Impossible. 8o sharp was the division between theories that any agreement on the meaning of evidence seemed impos- sible. In the case of Virginia McPherson controversy raged for months over whether the young nurse could have tied the surgical knot in a noose around her neck tight enough to have atrangled herself. The noose was fashioned out of one of Mrs. McPherson's pajama cords, and proponents of the murder theory argued that even if she had wanted to commit suicide—a point which they never conceded—she would not have chosen such a bizarre method. Detectives finally listed the case as & suicide. A grand jury picked up the investigation, returned a murder indictment, and recommended the sus- pension and trial of the investigating officers and the chief of detectives. The indictment was quashed on a technicality and a second grand jury reported the nurse's death was sui- cidal. A trial board praised the offi- cers involved after clearing them. In the Keene case controversy rages over whether the real estate man could have tied the series of three “riggers knots” in the cord which held & weighted brief case around his neck. | Abundance of Clues. An abundance of clues have been discovered which the murder theorists contend clearly indicate murder. Of- cial investigators from the beginning have leaned toward the suicide theory. A striking similarity in the two cases is that policemen at headquar- ters are again tying knots. While the McPherson case was under investiga- tion it was a common sight to see policemen tying knots around their own necks to convince reporters and other skeptics that they could strangle themselves, Birds Taught to Fly.

DE. 1772 TAR, WASHINGTON SLEUTHS' BESIEGE KEENE BOAT CREW Solution of Case Will Be as Welcome to Ship Officers as to Authorities. A solution to the mysterious death of Charles F. Keene will be as welcome to the officers and crew of the steamer District of Columbia as the authorities of Maryland and the District of Co- lumbia. He disappeared from the boat on the night of May 13 and his body was found in Chesapeake Bay last ‘Tuesday. ‘The boat officers have answered questions until they are weary of the subject. First, there were detectives, then reporters, then officials in charge of a Commerce Department hearing, and finally amateur sleuths by the score. The strange death of Charles F. Keene, 63-year-old Washington real estate agent has attracted the interest of an unusually large number of ama- teurs, each intent on proving his own theory. These latter have beseiged ship's officers, detectives investigating the case, and the newspapers. It's Getting Tiresome. Questions of strangers fall on deaf ears when put to J. M. Eby, employe of the boat’s news stand, who was one of the last persons to see Keene alive. Eby is by nature a genial man, friend- ly with the passengers and ready to discuss almost any subject but Keene's mysterious disappearance. “Did you sell Keene beer or soft drinks that night?” some one asked Eby. “Mister,” Eby replied, “I don't want to give you a short answer—but can't We change the subject? I'll give any information I have to the proper au- thorities—in fact, I've already given it many times—but I'm not discuss- ing the case any more!" Washington detectives have celved many worthless “tips” from cranks and amateur sleuths. Fach is a “headache,” because it must be investigated, no matter how absurd. Telephone Tipsters. Typical was a letter sent from Wash- ington shortly after Keene's disap- pearance and saying the body was at the bottom of Chesapeake Bay. The letter went into some detail as to Wwhere the body could be located. Detectives looked up the writer and learned she was an elderly col- ored woman who had received her in- formation from the “spirit world.” Typical, too, was one of several tel- ephone calls received by reporters as- signed to the case: “Do you want the lowdown on the Keene case?” a man's voice asked. “Of course, and who is speaking, please?” “Never mind my name. proof the case was suicide.” “What proof?” “Never mind what proof—do you expect me to prove it over the tele- Pphone?” “Where are you now?” “Never mind where I am now, but I've got the proof, straight from the inside, and if you don't want it that's all right with me . . . good-by!" re- I've got DENTAL HYGIENIS}_ i INSTALL PRESIDENT Miss Kathleen Cates Takes Over Office, Succeeding Mrs. Mary Formear.

Another report is that Keene sold his automobile for $90 and reported it had been wrecked when asked where it was. Maddrix last night praised Wash- ington detectives for the co-operation they have shown in the investiga- tion. “I hope they will keep up the good work,” Maddrix said. “We will be glad if they investigate any clues on their own initiative without awaiting the formality of a formal request. We are anxious to have all possible co-opera- tion in tracking down a murderer if there is one at large.” Brubaker left Washington to pre- pare his final report after hearing the story of James H. Starkey, 53, Reset- tlement Administration engineer, who, 50 far as is known, is the last person— with the possible exception of a mur- derer—to see Keene alive. Treated Keene to Beer. Starkey revealed that he was the mysterious “red-faced” man who | treated Keene to a beer shortly before | the refreshment stand on the boat | closed at midnight. He said he told | Keene's son he had seen his father and was urged not to say anything further. | Young Keene, a former Navy lieu- | tenant, said he met Starkey in the | office of Charles M. Osborne, whose | office is in the Union Trust Co. Build- ing his father shared, on the evening after the public hearing conducted by a Bureau of Navigation and Steamboat | Inspection Board of Inquiry. It was at this hearing that first reference | was made to the missing “red-faced man.” “I certainly acted foolish to advise | Mr. Starkey not to say anything” | Keene said last night. “But he told me my father's lip trembled wnen he | talked to him and I thought that since | police seemed set on the suicide theory | they would use that fact to build up their argument. It was merely a nervous habit of my father's. “I was upset, too, when I learned | that Mr. Starkey was the ‘red-fflcedi man.’ I had assumed the man was a | stranger to my father and might poa-‘ | sibly be the murderer. I realize now that I should have told Mr. Starkey to report to police so they would not waste any time hunting for the ‘red- faced man' I am terribly sorry to| have caused Mr. Starkey so much trouble.” | Missing Two Hours. ’ Starkey, in his statement to police, revealed the possibility that Keene | had arranged a conference with some unknown individual in his state room Keene was missing from the deck and | salon for about two hours, Starkey | said, and when he asked where he had | been Keene replied | | “T've been in my cabin talking over | | my deal.” | Keene told Starkey he was going to Norfolk to see a client about selling | water front real estate between Ocean View and Virginia Beach. Washington detectives vesterday in- terviewed a “prominent business man" and a news vendor who had sent word that they might be able to throw some light on the mystery. Neither had information of any great value, the detectives said. The business man talked aout Keene's financial condi- 1138 CONN. AVE. N.W.

Be ruthless, hitch your wagon to & human star, adhere to ideals—these are the three roads to success, Albert Levitt, special assistant to the Attorney General, told 23 graduates at Gallau- det College exercises yesterday. “Success comes to the man who is brutal,” the lawyer declared, “and it may be that some of you will reach your goal by that method. The role of the parasite will also be the easiest way for some. Success Hy adherence to ideals is just as sure, but much more painful and slow.” And as he spoke the nimble fingers of President Percival Hall of the col- lege interpreted through swift but simple gesture for those in the audi- ence who could not hear the context of the parting address.
