REGISTER O'LOUGHLIN ORIGINAL NORDICA WILL HITS AT PRENDERGAST} FILED WITH SURROGATE Sister in Los Angeles Sends Lawyer to Consult With New York Counsel, The original will of Lillian Nordica Young, which was recently ordered by Surrogate Cohalan to be filed by Aug. 28, was filed to-day in the Surrogate's Court by John C. Tomlinson jr., at- torney for George W. Young, husband of the late operatic star. Mrs. Younc died at Batavia, Java, on May 10, 1914, and left an estate valued at about $1,000,000, A copy of Mrs. Young's will was filed recently by Robert S. Baldwin of White Wlains, one of the executors, through his counsel, Walter W, West- all, who asked that a subpoena be served upon the husband and his counsel to compel them to filo the original will. Mr. Tomlinson contended that the deceased was a resident of New Jer- sey and that if he filed the will here he would have no will to file in New Jersey, The Surrogate, however, ruled that this County was the place the will should be filed. Paran F, Rice, an attorney of Los Angeles, Cal., appeared in the case as counsel for Mrs, Imogene Castillo, of Los Angeles, sister of Mrs. Young. He came here, the lawyer said, to con- sult with Rollins & Rollins, of No, 32 Nassau street, and Wood, Henry & Meyers, of No. 62 William street, local counsel for Mra, Castillo. ‘The original will was dated Jan 1914, 10, | a ae ey PRINCE SEIZES A FLAG FROM INJURED SOLDIER, CARRIES IT TO VICTORY.
