‘dapragt rat 3 aa TE pat woe BATTLE IN COURT T0 GET MILLIONS RUTHERFORD: LEFT Broker, Doctor and Nurse Ac- cused of Influencing Great Bequests. NEPHEWS OPEN FIGHT. Assert Millionaire Was Given Drugs and Drink in Alleged Plot. lupreme Court Justice Shearn to- day took under advisement a motion to prevent the distribution of the 42,947 estate of the late Henry Rutherford, whose will has been at- tacked on the ground that when he| made {it he was influenced against his relatives by Dr. George E. Steel of No. 256 West Seventy-ninth Street; Charlies K. Phipard, member of the ‘Wall Street firm of Whitehouse & Co. and Miss Edith Culver, trained nurt who attended Rutherford. Bertrand L. Gulick and J. Franklin Gulick, who with ten other maternal cousins of Rutherford asked for tho restraining order, chayged, that Dr. Steel, Phipard and Miss Culver en- tered into a conspiracy to keep the legal heirs out of their inheritances and so plied him with drink and drugs that he was of unsound mind when he made his will, a short time before Feb. 25, 1913, the day he died. Counsel for Phipard told Justice Shearn the charges were unfounde articularly the charge that a be- quest of $200,000 was made to the Rockefeller Instithte of Research at the request of Dr. Willard Phiparg, son of the stock broker, Phipard de- nied that his son was associated with the Rockefeller Institute and an affi- davit from the institution stating that Dr. Phipard was not on the staff was submitted. “Mr. Rutherford dedit with my firm for many years," Phipard told the Court, “and he could not be con- trolled by any person, He was one of the strongest willed’men I have ever known.” Miss Culver did not appear in court or submit an affidavit, Dr. Steel, however, told of his acquaintance with the young woman, who was re- ferred to in the contestant's papers an “alleged nurse.” Dr Steel is as- sistant surgeon at the Manhattan Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital, amem- her of the Academy of Medicine and the American College of Surgeons. Dr. Steel declared he first met Rutherford fifteen years ago, and treated him for many years. The physician could not recall whether at any time he had administered chloral to Rutherford. It was charged that large doses of chloral were given to the decedent. “I never offered him drink and I never talked with him or with Miss Culver abc 't his will," the doctor said, Rutherford left $50,000 to the physician's wife and $100,000 to Phipard, Dr, Steel said his wife's mother was a schoolmate of Ruther- ford's wife, rn Pe eC OO OO OE TO In selecting a rette suited to your taste you look for— WHAT? BIND? A PERFEGT WEE? IMT i The PERFECT WIFE AS SHE Weekes to Tee f AVERAGE = ee Zi INTELLIGENT Oo Ap A/ iy. OU ~4 By Marguerite Mooers Marshall. What is a perfect wife? What is a perfect husband? It really isn’t fair, as several correspondents have reminded me, to consider one question and ignore the other. So from now on we'll try to answer both. All the men who, from modesty or other reasons, have refrained trom trying to define the perfect husband, are invited to describe the perfect wife as they know her, or hope to know her. 1 shall be glad to print their letters io | ‘The Evening World, and I shall also be interested In hearing from women who have their own ideas of the sort of wife the modern man considers perfect. What {s a perfect wife? What physical, mental, iss Mmaamena moral and social qualities equip a woman for wife hood? Is the thoroughly domestic hausfrau, who can cook a meal, sew on a button and mind the baby, most in demand among men to-day? Or do they prefer the social butterfly, the beautiful, charmingly gowned young woman who dances from tearoom to tearoom? Does the modern man want to marry the woman with a trained mind, or has he preserved his Proverbial fear of the “bluestocking?” What are the matrimonial chances of the business woman? Is the suffragette persona non grata at the altar? EVENING WORLD READERS CAN®————————- ANSWER THE QUESTION. “If he gets married for his money it's We shall never find the an- | Dis own fault,” say his feminine crit- swers to these important quee- ies. “Why doesn’t he choose a rcen- je girl who is above making such tions unless some of you help out. | marriage?

Diet Madan: tens ek These women have written in an- swer to the young men who say that the modern girl chooses her future husband according to his wealth and social position. On the distaff side it is argued that the young man of| 1915 is rarely attracted by character and good sense when he goes into the business of picking out a wife, terested in the letter from the young man whose income !s about $20,000 a year and who n't been able to discover a sensible girl who “can take a man for what he heally is as a man, and not for what he brings with him.” I am considered rather sensible myself, and am sure that most of | my girl friends are. But what good is it to be “sen- sible" and ready to settle down and marry some poor man and slave for him the rest of your life? The man nowadays doesn’t | Pay any attention to that kind of girl.

Dear Madam: Casually glanc- ing over your column in The Evening World, I happened across the letter signed “A Bachelor of Thirty,” which greatly amused as well as in- terested me.

He was appointed Secretary of State on Feb. 18, 1915, the day after Gen. Venustiano Carranza, the revolution- ist who ts in control in Southern Mexico, had made Argumedo Guov- ernor. Tt is charged by Lara that Argu- medo, on March 1, 1915, withdrew, under pretense of ihtending to uso the money for the purchase of arms and supplies, 1,100,000 pesos of state funds from the Banco Peninsula Mexicano in Merida and that after giving 200,000 pesos to one Loretto Cantillo de Mansanto fled from Mv- rida on March 17 and made bis way in @ small sailing vessel to Havai Cuba.
