Settled Contest With Slain “Emperor's” Sister on Fifty-Fifty Basis. The transfer tax appraisal of the estate of Jagaues Lebaudy, who was shot and killed by his wife on Jan. 11, 1919, was filed to-day in the office of the Surrogate of Nassau County at Mineola by Edward M. Thompson, Transfer Tax Appraiser of the county, and showed a gross estate value of $13,368,985,07, Debts and expenditures of adminis- tration and other legal deductions amounted to $5,958,870.50, including a loss of $4,368,089.35 resulting from a drop in foreign exchange on French and English securities before the ad- ministrators got possession of the money. Of the total net estate, the widow, Mrs. Marguerite A. L. Sudreau, gots $2,456,088.19, and the daughter, Mrs. Jacqueline L. Sudreau, gets $4,956,- 076.38. By a compromise arrangement, however, made after Lebaudy's death, they are to divide their shares equally with the Countess Jean Marie de Fels of Paris, sister of Lebaudy. The mother and daughter together will pay a State inheritance tax of $307,819.74, Included in her share, the daughter receives Phoenix Lodge, valued at $45,000. Lebaudy inherited his estate in considerable part from his mother. His father was Max Lebaudy, ‘Sugar King’ of France. The estate consists of mining stock in South America, and various foreign urities, most of the estat rench and English securities. Lebaudy owned 113,318 shares, val- ued at $50,000, in the Cla Huanchaca de Bolivia, said to be the second rich - est silver mine in the world; and 7,000 shares, valued at $27,828.22, in the Cia Mifiera de Oruro, Bolivia.

BY ARTIST AT EXHIBITION ———++. Assassination Ends Two-Day Tenure of Office Ushered in by Rioting Costing Four Dead, 100 Injured—Nationalists Opposed Him as Non-Polish and Radical Executive. WARSAW, Dec. 16 (Associated Press).—Gabriel Naruto- wicz, first President of Poland, was assassinated to-day, while visiting an art exhibition, by an artist named Niewadomski. The assassin fired three shots. All took effect. There have been continous disorders ever since President Narutowlez was elected by the National Assembly one week ago to-day On that occasion there was tumultuous clamor growing out of his un- expected choice to succeed Gen. Pilsudski, the battle between the rival fac- tions and the police resulting in four deaths and the injury of more than 100 persons. Niewadomski, the assassin, has long been regarded by hii aasociates as mentally deranged, however, and his act is looked upon as due to a disordpred mind rather than as the result of a definite plot against the life of the newly-elected President. News ¢ the tragedy spreg.yespidly, throughout the capital, re pl end éxpressiona of horror from all, including the political enemies of t martyred Executive. President Narutowicz took over the supreme executive from Marshal Pilsudsk! only two days ago, the ceremony occurring at noon Thursday at the Belvedere Palace, the official home of the President ® The opposition to the choice of MM. Narutowicz as first President of Poland came mainly from the Nation~ alists, representing the purely Polish population, The members of this party resented tho election of a man who, they declared, represented the non-Polish and radical, elements. The Nationalist Deputies, after the election, announced officially that they would refuse to support M. Naruto- wiez or any Cabinet appointed by him. They asserted he was elected by the votes of the Jews, Ukrainians, Germans and Russians, receiving only 186’ Polish votes, while 227 Polish votes were cast for Count Zamoyski.
