A comprehen- Share of Youth in $60,000,000 Estate of Oil Magnate Is Conjectural, XKVV YORK. May 27.—Mu. It inter. '*t is expressed by men of financial affairs as to the part Harry Hark- ness Flagler will play in the disposi tion of the srreat fortune of his fa ther, Henry M. Flagler, estimated ;o be more than $60,000,000. Harry Haik- uess Flagler is 42 years old. He has been connected but little with the work of his father either In the Standard Oil Company or in the great development plans carried on in Flor ida. It was said by men who have hid close acquaintance with the Flagler affairs that the son and the father had been estranged for a long period, and that for ten years they had not spoken until the day before Flagler died, when the younger man arrived at Palm Beach from Europe in time to see his father alive. Harry Harkness Flagler, though a man of acknowledged business ca pacity, never has engaged in business. He has kept singularly aloof from the affairs of the Standard Oil Company He never showed interest in the Flor ida railroad and hotel projects of his father, so far as is knowfi. At the age of 22, with a large career in busi ness before him if he c hose. It w*s regarded as doubtful that he ever would go Into business. His temperament i» artistic and his nature is one of excessive delicacy. It is said that as a child he preferred to play with girls rather than with boys. It \Vas held yesterday that a possi ble reason for the trusteeing of the Flagler estate lay in the divergence of interests of the son and the father. It was conjectured that the elder Flag ler decided that his plans for further development of Florida, which it is believed he caused to be drawn up when he was ill, could be carried out better under the direction of trustees in close association with his life ac tivities than in any other way. The younger Flagler is a Columbia University man of the cl#ss of 1894. He is a son of Flagler’s first wife, who was a member of the Standard Oil family of Harkness. He married Miss Anna Lamont in 1898. slve valuation of Buckingham Palace and its contents just completed by a West End firm is given at $17,500,000. The value of one room is estimated at $2,500,000.

Him, executive secre tary and ex-officio pardon attorney Governor Brown, has given out au interview strongly commending the proposed effort^ of the Georgia Prison Association to bring about healthy change s In the Georgia crim inal laws and prison system. “A person changed with misde meanor is given the option of paying •i fine or going to the ehaingang.” said Major dm. “Under our proce dure, if he goes to the gang, he can not later change his mind and pay the fine. Many prisoners at time of sentence are unable to communicate with friends or relatives in time to pay the fine. Must Appeal to Governor. “The only way he can avail him self of the privilege of a money pay ment is by appealing to the Gover nor for clemency. If he pay an agent to attend to that routine, which we are compelled to enforce, nine times out of ten he will be forced to serve out the sentence. “This amounts to penalizing pov erty and misfortune. The State law on the subject should be the same as municipal laws, by which prisoners may pay, without bother and expense, the pro rata portion of the fine not worked out any time while serving the sentence. Urges Suspended Sentences. “Judges should be permitted to suspend sentences, with some form of probation, in all misdemeanor and, under wise restriction, in some fel ony cases, as that of a youth ar raigned for the first time on a tech nical case of burglary. “The State Is in need of some form ! of Indeterminate sentence. The pa- l role law partly suffices, as It is in tended to do, but it does not fill the ! need. “Better provision also should be made for carrying out our present parole law. Virtually no funds are provided for investigating meritori ous cases or for inspecting and su pervising the conduct of those pa roled.” CHICKENS GET SOUSED.

Although the membership books 1o not open until to-morrow, many in sisted upon selecting plaver-planos in advance of enrolling. In anticipation of just such a rush, T. E. Weather- ho^ t president of the Weatherholt Company, made arrangements with the factory several weeks ago. These arrangements, together with thorough co-operation on the part of the rail roads, have resulted in carloads of player-pianos arriving at the Weath erholt building. This is the first time that player- pianos have ever been offered in this section to the public through co operative club buying, and the rea sonable price and the attractive terms of $10 down and $2.50 per week have awakened interest to an unusual de gree. Mr. Weatherholt selected a player- piano worth $650 for his club offer, and because of the tremendous pur chasing power of the 400 club mem bers, he was enabled to get them at a price which made the offer of $488.50 and at the attractive terms possible.
