By Central Press.
New York, Nov. 22.—The fam
ily fight of the Goulds over the
$85,000,000 estate left by Jay
Gould, railroad monarch, has al
ready caused the fortune to
shrink * to $50,000,000.
This has happened in the face
of the injunction of the financier,
delivered from his death bed:
“Be a united family and work to
gether. ft
The squabble began eight years
ago in a simple suit by four qf
the children of the dead financier
to have their accountings of his
estate approved by the court. It
now involves more than 50 liti
gants, children, grand children,
even great-grand children of Jay
Gould.
t No other family in the history
of American legal procedure has
been so involved in litigation.
Many Charges.
The fight has provoked charge
and counter charge, set brother
against brother and gone in a
voluminous way from court to
court until the record of it is
stupendous.
The interests of the estate are

Valeria Malta. Nov, 22.—(By

battalion of the Eaat Lancashire'

Wednesday.
London, Nov. 22.—All military
units in England have been warn
ed to be in readiness to board
transports if the situation in
Egypt should require the pres
ence of a large body of British
troops.
This warning is only a pre
cautionary measure to provide for
possible eventualities, but it dem

England proposes to exact rep

the Egyptian army and governor

The battleship Valiant already
is at Alexandria, and there are
plenty of battleships, cruisers,
airplane carriers and destroyers
being watched and safeguarded
by a cohort —of- attorneys^— But
there are also 30 lawyers appear

Counsel for the estate recently
said that the present expense of
the litigation is more than $2,500
an hour, or J10,000 for the usual
day’s session of four hours. The
allowance for the jeferee is $65
an hour.
Costly.
The total cost of the legal fight
is figured at more than $15,000,

be ample verification of the ref

accounting suit shall be terminat

The ones who started the inter

now the Duchess of Talleyrand

IS MIGHTY GOOD
(By Emily Boyd.)
The Griffin Minstrels, in their
twelfth annual productjpn, play
ed to a capacity house at the
high school auditorium Friday
night and scored one of the big
gest hits that a minstrel has ever
made in Griffin.
From the opening moment,
when the face of Woodrow Wil
son was flashed on the curtain as
the entire company softly sang
• I Auld Lang Syne,” until the clos
ing chorus, “California, Here I
Come,” the performance was a
success.
It was filled with humor for
how could Burton Slade, “Beaut ft
Mitchell, and “Doc” Lumpkin be
end meiK without insuring a riot
of laughter ?
Lots of Music.
There was plenty of music for
Seaton Bailey, Albert Gammon,
Ed Domingos, Lamont Gresham,
Garland Martin and Aldine Combs
sang some of the latest and most
beautiful tunes that are being
featured this fall.
And then Burton Slade and
*• Doc” Lumpkin brought down the
house with “Hard Hearted Han
nah,” and “Cross Eyed Papa.
Maybe there was not quite as
much music in these but the pep
was certainly there.
And there was more music
when the orchestra, composed of
Mrs. Ray Wirick, Eddie Golden
■hVK, Ira Slade and Aldine Combs
entertained the audietice between
the acts. ’
Burton Slade and Lamont
Gresham put on a novelty act and
Beaut” Mitchell gave Parson
Brown’s sermon as added
features. No one could have
made a better interlocutor than
Will Rice.
The Griffin Harmony Four de
lighted the audience as only the
Harmony Four can and had to
respond to repeated encores.
Plenty of Jokes.
And then when everyone had
laughed at the jokes, rich, rare
and racy though they were, un
til it was hard to laugh any more,
the company gave a scene from
u Doc" Lumpkin’s Unsanitary
barber shop” and every one had
to keep on laughing because
that was funnier than anything
else.
The performance was under the
auspices of the Woman’s Club,
which was enough to insure its
success.
