- . valid} t ‘Spl'it Vote Paves Way for Carry- ing of Action to the Court * [ - of Appeals By a vote of 3 to 2, the Appellate - Division of the Supreme Court has upheld the verdict of a jury in War- Ten County Supreme Court at Lake George invalidating the will of Sam- uel Eddy Mauran of that village. At the same time, the higher court de- cided that Dr. Arthur W. Johnson of Mechanicvilis, - named - with | Dr. Charles K. Burt of Lake George as -«co-beneficiary under the purported will, is entitled to costs of the litiga- tion, amounting to about $750, while Dr. Burt is not. Probate of the will was contested by Miss Elizabeth L, Betton of New- port, R. I, and Arthur Betton of Toronto, Canada, cousins of Mauran,. 'They charged that the will was not duly executed, that Mauran lacked 4; testamentary capacity, and that the - document was obtained through fraud and undue influence and control. .. The Appellate Division has upheld . the trial jury in its decision for the contestants on all three points. Jus- . tices Leon C, Rhodes, F. Walter Bliss and John C. Crapser voted to affirm the verdict, while Presiding Justice James P. Hill and Justice Christo, pher J. Heffernan dissented. The split vote paves the way for an appeal to the Court of Appeals. Mauran died January 28, 1935, at the Delevan Hotel at Lake George, two days after his will had heen Grawn and signed with an \X\ mark. 'The document was prepared by W. W. Bullis, Lake George attomey. Mauran's entire estate, amounting to about $12,000, was left to Dr. Johnson, who had been a lifelong friend of Mauran, and Dr. Burk, who attended Mauran in his last iliness and who was in the hotel at the time the al- leged will was executed. In trial of the case counsel for the contestants absolved Dr. Johnson of wrong doing in connection with the alleged fraud, holding Dr. Burt re- sponsible. Surrogate Paul L. Boyce later allowed Dr. Johnson the costs of the litigation. Both sides appealed, the proponents of the will from the * verdict of the trial jury invalidating the documents, and the contestants from Judge Boyee's order granting costs to Dr. Johnson. Judge James McPhillips, C. E. Fitz- gerald and Frederick G. Bascom of McPhillips, Fitzgerald and McCarthy appeared for the contestants, while James A. Leary of Leary and Puller- ton, Saratoga Springs, and W. W. Bul ls of Lake George represented the proponents. SPEAKER SAYs NATIONS MUST ACT FOR PEACE Dean Leebreck Tells Students of High School Universal System Is Needed Dean Karl C. Leebreck of Syracuse University spoke to the students of the Glens Falls High School on \Cur- rent International Problems\ at an. assembly program this morning. The speaker stated that something must be done and done immediately whether at Geneva, Washington or elsewhere if we sare to enjoy world peace. Armaments have been doubled since 1914 and the cost of maintain- ance of war forces is now four times as great as in 1914, The world has beer thrown closely together through fast means of trans- portation, said the speaker, so closely in fact that world powers cannot re- main apart All leading nations of the world must join in a universal system if we are to prevent war, he said. Nationalism and our own in- stitutions should -be preserved but the state should not be used to educate people in selfish interests and against other mations, such as is the case in present day Germany and Italy. He spoke favorably of the neutral- ity moves made by the United States last year when another great Euro- pean war seemed inevitable, but he weht further to say that agreement should try to be reached with other countries of the world as to neutral- ity regulations. One of the great causes for present. day international troubles is the lack of cofnfidence in treaty and solemn obligations between the nations, he | said. This insecurity of promises be- tween tHe nations was furthered by |. actions of Japan in Manchuria, Italy in Ethiopia Germany in the Rhine- land, ang Turkey in the Dardenelis. Diplomacy was unable to prevent the last war, stated the speaker, and | is able to prevent very few wars.} Dein Leebréck said that he has found many young people throughout the | country in colleges and in High schools, very rauch interested in world | peice and thinking seriously about pesce movements and the prevention + of war, Dr. Frank Brysn, director 'of ad- missions &t Syracuse, spoke briefly to | £ group of students interested In the University, following the regular as- sembly. also held, . _ Hans Hein, a German student now attending Columbia University, gave | il x demonstration of what his program will be Tike when he will appear before the assembly tomorrow morning. that time he will give a program of | instrumental singing, imijating varl- [. vocal | M bus instringents through sounds“ we 7) u!

After calling attention to the fact new elements-the League of Nations, present Russia, Czecho-Slovakis, which he termed the most settled [state in Europe, and the new Balkan situation, Mr. Baker said the greatest factor in that situation is Turkey and. if: is now \a pleasure to live in Tur- eyg” . Under Sultan rile, the Turks were broken and defedted, Eighty-five per cent of them were illiterate and they were \loaded down, restricted and de- pressed.\ The Sultan was the head of not only the government but also of the Moslem faith and when he 'was expelled a blow was struck .at Mohammédanism' from which it has never recovered, the speaker said. The laws were changed to a Western basis, social and health legislation brought about many changes for the better. \Inaction\ was the middle name of the rulers of old Turkey, but today \action\ is the watchword. The government is promoting agri- culture, commerce and industry, the speaker said, The United States has an unfavorable balance of trade with Turkey.

The four enemies of health, he said, are typhoid fever, tuberculosis, tra- choma and malaria. Turkey. gem?!“ to questions, Mr. Baker said: That Turkey is balancing her bud- get. That taxes are high and that the Turks are paying more now for defensive measures \because they re- gard the international situation with great doubt.\ That Turkey should have the de- fense of the Dardanelles in her own 'hands. « Thats splendid friendship now ex< between Turkey and Greece, and that it is unlawful to use propaganda in Turkey designed to cause any per- son to change his religion, ' Walter P.
