Five years ago the English - heirs lost out Lady Marguerite Hyde Countess of Bundle and Berks ted the court battle against her brother Joseph Lelter who Is one of the trustees of the estate 6he was backed up by her three sons and the children of her dead 6lster Lady Curzon The third sis' ter Nancy Lathrop Carver Campbell however sided with her brother It was a long and bitter court battle Lady Marguerite accused her brother of mismanaging the estate Bhe—or her lawyers— pointed out that he had displayed jxwr Judgment when he tried to comer the wheat market and lost $7000000 On the other hand Joseph’s lawyers 'told how the brother had objected to his sister’s ambitious marIn riages to European titled men order to keep up the prestige which his slaters had attained In their social triumphs Joseph was forced to He keep his nose to the grindstone claimed that his titled relatives were devery dissatisfied with the profits rived from the estate Joseph told a story one which you Could Imagine a motion picture built around a story of his efforts to increase the estate A year after the death of Lelter fir there was an explosion In the coal mines which killed 81 persons Only the unusual efforts of Joseph Letter saved the estate from disaster “He was underground in the mine for 48 hours at a time” said the lawyer “and by his own efforts and at the risk of his own life saved the shaft” This long and costly trial was concluded In 1927 when the court decided In favor of Joseph Lelter The court pointed out that since Joseph’s father had known of his son’s speculative turn of mind and this knowledge had not prevented him from becoming a trustee Lady Marguerite had to be content with the decision But now the English heirs to the American fortune are again reaching their hands across the Atlantic This time they are led by Lady Cynthia Mosley grandchild of Levi Lelter whose mother married Lord Curzon Both her parents are dead d and Lad Cynthia is Intensely In socialism — Her husband because of his wealth and aristocratic affiliations Is called the “Silver Spoon Socialist” This titled couple Is very much concerned with England’s labor troubles Lady Cynthia had little Interest In the first battle the English heirs fought with Joseph Letter She had renounced her title when her husband had renounced his Bhe had visited America but shunned high society for the Ford plant and the stockyards of Chicago Evidently Lady Cynthia’s socialistic proclivities do not prevent her from a decided Interest in the American fortune to which she Is one of the heirs It Is a far cry from the aristocracy of Britain back to the days when Levi Lelter started his career In a dry goods houses in Chicago He started m 1865 when Chicago was just a stopover town for thoee on the way to the Pacific coast and he grew with the city He joined with Marshall Held In buying the controlling Interest in Potter Palmers dry goods business and by 1881 had cleaned 'up enough to retire from the commercial inter--este- -- he can make money PARIS (UP)— M Edouard Branly’ menl and keep his InstrumenU cor-reThe director of the Catholic whose experiment In 1890 gave the world the wireless telegraph is still university according to Mr Branly waltihg for a permanent laboratory offered him 'beautifully equipped a ’ter 68 years laboratory If he would Join the Cath- Ail French reference books call Pro- 1 farlrltv but Professor"' Branly accepted fessor Branly the father of modern wireless although English Ger- round his laboratory was not ready man and Italian scientists attribute this honor to Clerk Maxwell' Herr Herts Sir Oliver Lodge and Gugllel-m- o he established a private laboratory Marconi "v Professor Branly has reached 88 with his slender means receptor a bitter and disappointed scientist He perfected his radiowere “'an Bent with age and saddened by sor- -

J Recipes qualities pf senators and members of congress The Democratic national committee like the corresponding is Republican nation aL committee made up of two members one man one woman and from each of the states territories and dependencies They are chosen except in a few states by a process which does not include popular electionThey are chosen as a rule without going into the mechanism In detail by small committees made up of leading Dem ocrats In their respective- - states Members of the national committee are In short the type of person who comes to the top through a mechanism of committees as tne expression of confidence held in their good sense and other steadygoing qualities by small groups of their fellow men who have been In close contact with them Because members of the national committee are chosen In this way they differ from the other sort of leader who arrives In the senate or house or other forum the by The processes of popular election members of the national committee as a rule are not orators and do not have the defects that go with that quality They do not enjoy Indulging In oratory for oratory's sake They do not get Into oratorical rows merely because a crowd Is looking on and for the delectation of the crowd They are able to see a crowd or a gallery without being thereby Irresistibly moved to make a speech preferably an emotional speech They are not subject to debauches of oratorical autointoxication Members of the national committee are In short a type of person who can subordinate oratory to wisdom controversy to common sense who ean refrain from fighting for the sake of benefits to be gained by compromise or peace Hope of 1932 Success Helps Quench Row It Is precisely the realization of these benefits of peace that may enable the meeting next Thursday to be held without spectacular controversy The members of the national committee know that the Democrats have some chance to win the presidential election next year As to how great their chance may be Judgment may differ Presumably tbe persons who will meet next Thursday rate the chance fairly high Having tills vision of success next year the Democrats know that a fratricidal row will reduce It A fight in the Democratic natlort&l committee would reduce the party's chances of success in electing a president next year In two ways It would causa the respective factions to be bitter toward each other Further It would be notice to the public that the Democrats are fratricidally inclined— on prohibition and on some other questions— and the public Is hesitant about giving control of the government to a party that seems likely to manage the government In a chaotic spirit To put it another way the Democrats as they meet next Thursday will have among them many deton ants of destructive debate But they will have also ohe of the most solidifying and mollifying agencies known to political human nature— namely the cohesive power pf the expectation of office Democratic leaders know that If they Are to win the presidential election of 1932 they must be able to march to the polls side by side in peace wet shoulder rubbing dry shoulder Once the vision Is realized (If it Is to be realized) once tle election Is won and the offices and perquisites taken over— at that time Is froh hi?
