REWARD FOR MAN
WHO FAKED DEATH
ATLANTA. Ga. Nov. 24.?Police of
Vtlanta are ??arching today for the
nan who last night startled a mass
meeting at the auditorium, while Vice
President Marshall was speaking, by
starting ? false report thst President
?".'?le?n was dead. Kverybody in the
i ?la*-e, including Marshall, appeared at
j ftrst to (?elle?? lb? report.
i '?F n**r? Is Whispered.
f 3rra>sh*ll was eulogising Georgs

when ,1 policeman rushed up the alale
ansi a message was whispered to the
Vt-ce President by Charles. J. Hadsn, a
prominent Atlantan. that he was
?v.* ? taxi on th?? long-distance phone
from Washington, ss President Wil
i son had Just passe J away.
The Vice President staggered, then.
! steadying himself, he raised his hand
I and said :
"I cannot continue my speech. I
muot leave at once to take up my
; duties as Chief Executive o? this
great nation.
"I cannot bear the burdens of our
b?Iov??d chieftain unless I receive the
?"ull assistance and prayers of every
oody in this country."
With that he left the stage. Not a
sound was to be heard until Gov.
? Hugh Dorsey rose and asked that
the benediction be pronounced. There
wa*i still no -und except sobbing of
women.
"Searer. ?7 0*A. t* Tfcte."
Charles Sheldon, city organist.
started playing, "Nearer, My ??od, to
Thee," and the audience began quiet
! ly to (lie out of the building.
As soon a? possible Marshall got In
i communication with the White House.
? where it was positively denied that
| the President was dead.
At the terminal station, where Mar
shall board-?! a special train for
Washington at 1 o'clock this morn
ing, the Vice President said:
"I am infinitely reliev?d to know
that the President is alive. It wa.? a
most cruel hoax to perpetrate on the
audience and on me. I trust that the
guilty party will be apprehended."
Governor Dorsey announced, on be
half of the Sttate, that a reward of
$10O would b<* paid for the capture of
the perpetrator.
The city Is expected to take similar
action today.

Penniless Widow of
CoL Gracie Sues for Big
?Estate Daughter Left
fc
(Phots JsT ?CIH-.wiir.st. )
MRS. ARCHIBALD GRACIE.
Victim of an extraordinary aeries of
tragedies, Mrs. Constance Schack j
Gracie, daughter of the late Count
Schack and widow of Col. Archibald
Gracias, is today the central figure in a
court action, the early trial of which
is being anticipated by society folk in
this city, New York, and fashionable
places of the East.
Mrs. Gracie, through her attorneys.
Hannis Taylor and Hannis Taylor,
jr.. has filed suit in the Probate Di
vision of the District Supreme Court
against her son-in-law, Dunbar
Burehell Adams, son of the nationally
known chewing gum manufacturer.
The plaintiff seeks to ret-over from
Adams the estate left by her daugh
ter, Mrs. Edith Temple Gracie Adams.
Mrs. Gracie alleges that her daughter
left a will which is now missing.
Because of the unfortunate chain of
circumstances with which the life of
th? plaintiff in the suit has been be
set interest in the outcome of her
court action is ketsi. While on an Eu
ropean trip Mrn. Gracie received the
news that her youngest daughter was
crushed to death in an elevator a
few feet from where the mother was
standing. Her husband, Colonel
Gracie, died from the results of ex
posure after the Titanic disaster.
Following Colonel Gracies death, the
widow iaw the greater part of the
estate which her husband had left
was lost In the failure of a Washing
ton brokerage firm, which was nego
tiating for the sale of securities
which Mrs. Gracie had intrusted to It.
Then came the influenza epidemic.
in which the widow lost her only
daughter. Mrs. Edith Gracie Adams.
Davghter Referred ts Will.
In her cross bill filed against Mr.
Adams individually snd sn adminis
trator for his wife's estate. Mrs. Gra
cie seeks to establish, by secondary
evidence, the fact that her daughter
made a will, or falling that, she at
her daughter's estate as the next of
her daughter's estate as the net of
kin. It is "U*-ted in Mrs. Gracie's
bill thst her daughter had repeatedlv
referred to the fact that she had made
a will in her mother's favor upon the
alleged existence of which the whole
action is baaed.
It is also claimed by Mrs. Grade
that John ?. Adams and Susan B.
Ariani?, father and mother of Dunbar
H. Adams, mede an "unlawful and
clandestine raid" on their daughter
in-law's apartment in a New Yorl
hotel while she wa? 111 at a hospitn
shortly before her death in 1K1*. In
that "unlawful and clandestine raid.
Mrs. Gracie asserts, they ransacked
the private desk of her daughter and
carried swhy its oontents.
Associate* Justice Bailey has cited
Dunbar B. Adams to show cause early
next month why the petition of Mrs.
Gracie should not be granted and
here, for the moment, the caa?? rests.
Temed Over T? Daaa-hter.
"Declaring herself to be practu-ally
pennileas, she has brought suit over
her daughter's estate, valued at
?100.0OO, and which she. as guardian,
had turned over t.> her daughter when
Edith Temple Grade attained her
majority in 1?15.
The bulk of this property consists
prln.-ipally of incom- bearing stock,
and. according to Mrs. Grade, wie
deposited in a safe deposit box In ?
Washington bank by her daughter Ir.

OF KEEPING ?.S. DRY
Treasury to Ask $7,000,000 to
Start Prohibition Enforce
ment Machinery.
The cost of making the United
Ststes dry will be much heavier than
Congress anticipated when it passed
the Prohibition Enforcement Uw.
The Treasury Department will be
compelled to ask for nearly $5.000,000
In addition to the appropriation of
$??,000.000 in the Volstead Act. About
$4,000,000 will be necessary for the
'fiscal year ending, June "JO, 1921, while
'from ?0O00O0 to $1.000,00?) will be re
quired to make up the deficiency of
' the current fiscal year, ending June
, ."10 next.
The prohibition machinery, it la es?
|timate<i, takes more than $.'1.10,000
'every month, or about ?11.0O0 a day.
This gives approximately 1,000 addi
tional employes in Washington and
in the field.
When the Volstead measure was
first up in Congres*, it authorised a
total of $.1,5000?X) for ?nforcement,
but this was finally cut in conference
to $2 000,04)0 As it did not become
effective until October 2K, this sum
was ail available for the eight re
maining months of the ficai year, or
about $2.10,000 a month.
DOUBT SKELETON
IS BILLYDANSEY'S
G .Tuerai of "Perfect Baby"
Postponed until Better Proof
of Identity Is Obtained.
????????.?. K. J.. Nov. 24.?
Theories that the skeleton found in
the swamp near here, is not that of
?Billy'? Dansey, the "perfect baby."
have gained sufficient credence with
the authorities to result In an In
definite postponement of the funeral.
While the clothes found near the
body were undoubtedly those of the
2V?j-year-oId Dansey boy, Coroner
Cunningham declared that there might
be something to the theory that the
boy really was kidnaped and that
these hones had been secured to throw
pursuers off the track. The bones,
skeptics claimed, were entirely too
smooth for only six weeks' exposure.

NEW YORK, Nov. 24.?-The New York Time? todsy
prints a cable dispatch from its Parii correspondent,
saying: "A semi-official canvass of the member? of the
new Chamber of Deputies shows that a large majority is
in favor of seeking a change in the teros of the Ver
sailles treaty in case the American Senate does not
ratify it.
"The leaders of this movement wonld demand an
exchange of views among the allies as to insuring the
disarmament of Germany and giving France greater
military protection. It is their idea that step? in this
direction can be taken after the treaty goes into effect.
' ' This agitation may or may not be expected to have
its effect upon the Berlin government, which has brought
about a strained situation by its sudden withdrawal of
the commission sent to Ptiris to sign the protocol to the
peace treaty. This move promises to upset the allies'
plan of putting the treaty into effect December 1, inas
much as the protocol was to have been signed before the
deposit of ratifications."

received here today from Bis; Stone
Gap. Va.. located in the heart of the
minine district of Virginia, stated
that, although no outbreaks had oc
curred among miners of Lee and Wise
counties, trouble was expected at any
moment.
Presence of a radical element from
Kentucky, which came to Virginia
to persuade the miners of this State
to remain on strike, is said to be the
cause of the trouble.
When the radical element appeared
on the scene the local miners left
their places, but resumed work in a
few days.
Thst the Virginians do not desire
th* presence of the agitators has been
shown by the fact that they have re
turned to work. In event the radicals
persist in pestering the miners and
should attempt to start a "real" fight.
it is expected that the Virginians will
fight back. This is feared by those
in close touch with the situation in
the western portion of the State.
Already small skirmishes have taken
place, but so far as Is known no
one ha.? been Injured. In one attack
about fifty shots were firel st min?To
as they returned from work, while ??
a second attack about thirty shots
were fired.
State militia companies from Rich

Chdrlottesvllle are expected to arrive
at the scene of the trouble about noon
today. Governor Davis and John
Hirschburg, State labor commiss.ou
