—___.. THE WORLD: FRIDAY EVENING. JULY 12, WOMAN NOT HIS WIFE MAY SHARE LORILLARD’S WEALTH COHBTDEDOHOGOHOSGOOAG @ Spectacular in Ife, Plerre Lorillard was consistent in arranging a spec- tacular contest for the millions he lett behind when he died. A woman ts said to figure in his will. She is not a rela- tive—she was his closet friend. And | with dogred adherence to his principle of standing by those who stood by him he has probably named her as the chicf beneficary in the distribution of his wealth, The friendship that existed for many years between the millionaire sportsman and this woman was an open secret in nociety. When Mrs. Lortllard lett her husband | the weman who was alleged to hav been the cause of the separation took virtual oharge of the Lorillard house- hold. To the day of his death their, irlendship endured, She Was at His He: who met the Deutschland brought back from Europe dying a few dayn ago. aca It was she Whose presence In the Fifth ‘Avenue Hotel gave rise to the that there had be: h-bed recon- ciation between Mr. Loritlard and his wife. It was she who at the Surre- gute's office yeste nd inquired if the will had been fied for pre ‘At the time she was making her Ine quiry the will wax being w ofices of Brinckerhoff & sey City. There were present repr tative of Plerre Lorillard, jr., and his wife; T. Suffern Tatler and Willan Kent and their wit the la daughters of Mr. Lorillard. Nono would give out x worl of infor- |, mation concerning the contents of the will, [t was plain that the reading of It hhad caused perturbation, It ts hinted | that these heir uta small part of the millions of Pierre Lortilard, and that they are arranging a contest or a com- promise settlement with the woman in the case. The WIM and the Womnn, ‘Those familiar with Mr. Loritlard’s affairs aro on the Up-toe of expectation, The will and the woman are their sole topics of conversation ¢)-duy, and the discussion is on there pulnis: She undoubtedly knew that she was mentioned in the will and to what ex- tent. She was a persistent vieltcr to the Fifth Avenue Hotel while Mr, Lortilurd Iny there dying, attended by his chil- Gren. ‘ What, then, caused her to make her trip to the Surrokate’s office to muke ‘agitated inquiry about the will If she has fears that a new will was made before Mr. L4rillcrd died, th who knew him well assert that such fears are groundiess, Pierre Lorillard fs sald to have never deserted a triend, It would sot be like him to change hls methods at the approach of death. Gave Her a Manalo By many of Mr. Lorillard’s fridnds He woman In the case was recognized es a social equul. Of excellent family, well educated and witty, she was an fdeal hostess at the lavish entertain- ments it was his delight to sive. Her father. was her companion in her travels with Mr. Lorillard and he en- couraged their friendship. Father and dGoughter are living to-day In a mas- nificent establishment just off Fifth avenue and near the old Lorillard home at Thirty-sixth street, The property |» in the woman's name. lt was pre- gented to her by Mr. Lorillard, There were two mysterious women passengers In @ room near Mr. Loril- Jard's on the steamer Deutschiand. Dur- ing the voyage they occupied the steam- er chaira that had been reserved for the Lorillard party. They met Mr. | } Lorillard when he wee taken from the ambulance at the Fifth Avenue Hotel and were with him for some time. “Miss Leriliard.’’ One of these women was young.

Iroe, Mr. Lorillard’s physician, rou r this -wald that the Lorillard party was composed of himnelf, two trained nurses, a man servant and Mr. Loriliard, This, too, waa the informa- tion given to the hotel people, When Mr. Lorillard had been tnken to is room the young woman came down- stairs for the purpose of using the tele- phone, In conversation with an Even- ing World reporter she na{d whe was a! trained nurse. s “The trained nurses came acrons on the Deutschland with Mr, Lorillard, 414 they not?" Plerre Lorillard, jr, was asked later In the day. “Oh, no," he reaponded. “We gut them from the Bellevue Nurses’ Train- Ing School.” Hlaborately Gowned “Narae: stroked Mr, td, with Dr. | Just how long these wonen rema at the bedside of Mr. Lorillard ts not known now, It was remarked at the hotel that they were the most elaborate- ly gowned trained nurses in the knowl- edge of any man who saw them. ‘The wife, who has ved alone for all these years in an unpretentious house in Washington Square, does not appear to be concerned about the will, It !s thought that she made some settlement with her hisband when they separated. She devotes herself to charitable! work among the poor, Her pet project is an cast-aide creche, which has not only her finantlal but her personal support. Charitable Mra, Lorillard. In her quiet charity Mrs. Lorillard has taken more pleasur an she did in the feverish existence she led in the days of her husband's lavish extrava- fance, He had no leaning toward char- ity. it was his principle that the duty of the rich Is to spend their money as rapidly as possible.

For thirty-six hours the entins crew and a dog te- longing to the captain were ,on top of the deckhouse, with the vessel awnsh and with very fittle to eat. Twice they sighted coastwise vessels, but appar- ently were not scen. The L. F.

To add to their troubles the forward deck-house, om which were the life- doats, was carried away. Some time Saturday night a wave broke over her, jcarrying part of the lumber overboard. [Other waves followed and the entire load of lumber was swept away.
