Gould, Jr„ the Duchess of and Frank Goul 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 BRITISH TROOPS FOR EGYPTIANS BULLETIN Valeria Malta. Nov, 22.—(By ttoe Associated Press.)—The first battalion of the Eaat Lancashire' regiment has been suddenly or dered to Egypt and will sail next 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 onstrates the firmness with which England proposes to exact rep arations for the murder by Egyp tiaifs of Sir Lee Stack, sirdar of the Egyptian army and governor of the Sudan. , Any Emergency. 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 ing for the defendants. 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, 000. In all this there seems to be ample verification of the ref eree’s estimate that before the accounting suit shall be terminat ed the bill for it will run to ing millions. I The ones who started the inter minable suit were Anna Gould, once the Duchess of Castellane, now the Duchess of Talleyrand Perogord, and her brother, Frank J. Gould. They objected, with special reference to their eldest brother, George J. Gould, when •he, Howard Gould, Edwin Gould, and Mrs. Finley J.

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. VOL. 53—No. 101 Wages Futile Fight to Secure Conference for That City.
