Li . TWO WILLS
T;[>. VANS, THE FAMOUS
PARISIAN DENTE'O’
LEFT A BIG I STATE
Bi t M xed Up His Wills And
Fixes Trouble.
Paris, Dec, 31 —lt has now been
fin-ilty determined that the laie
])r. Thomas W. Evans, the Amei
ican dentist, who materially aided
the Empress Eugenie in escaping
from Paris, after the overthrow of
the empire, left a fortune of about
if 1,000.000.
Dr. Evans’ only brother. Ra
il 'ph Evans, arrived in Paris yes
ttrday, with his wife and son.
IDs brother under the French law
is entitled to one half of Dr. Evans
fortune should itbe decidedihat he
c d intestate, that he has left no
valid will.
Dr. Evans appears, like the late
-Famue's J. Tilden, of New York*
li-ive taken too great pains in the
prepar-.tion of his will or wiils-for
i; Stets.’ now eertain that he made
two of them within a short time
ofhi<d-ath. It maybe stated
upon the m< st reliable authority
that th original will was drawn
up by Attorney Author E. Valois
of New York, bu’ was so badly
copied bv Dr Evans who ain- iided
hand aid d several codicils to it
that i is very doubtful if it is
legal.
There is no longer at y d< übt
that Dr. Evans made a wrl which
was intended to carry out to pro
v mms n'ti 1 instrument executed
in N* v York to apply to the dis
positi m of his property in France
and ex ‘ nited here.
The tv.o wills, identical in pur
pise, w-*re sworn to by the French
translator, who now, claiming
that there are differences in the
two wills, refuses to surrender the
original trrnslation until he has
teen paid for the original
paper.
The United States Consul insist
that the wil s bo bandied to for
Verification. Th.s adds to thecom
p icati ns. As m der the wil
Jindalph Evans, the brother, only
gets SIO,OOO He proposes to con
test its legality

A Hustler of Rome represen

found no storm centers and scarce

bis ticket,
Certainly there is no evidence
of voters stampeding, and falling
all over each other for a privilege
to support any man for mayor
who has no more 1 icket than fol

The conservative citizens ex

Some of the kicking comes from
the quarters of an element that
always kicks. Chronic kickers,

SIXTY FOUR OF MAFIA AR

INCLUDING Biff NOBLES
I'hey Are Charokd With Evi ry
Conceivable Crime.
Rome, Dec. Bl.—lt is only oc
casionally that daylight is let in
to tin tine condition of affairs in
Sicily. This is due Io the fact that
only Italian papers and pr -ss a
g'-nts have correspondents in Sic b
and they are terrorize I, like all
subjects of King Humbert in the
island, to auch a degree by the Ma
tia they don’t dare to become the
means <>f making know i to the
outer world the reign of terror
and of lawlessness which p.evrila.
It is by mere chance, therefore,
that the outer wor d has just be
come aware of the arnst at Pal
ermo of no fewer than 64 mem
bers of the Mafia, comprising in
dividuals, men and women in
every conditron cf lie, Counts,
and Countess, Princes and even a
great landowner formerly in Par
liament, and whose breast is
adorned with the grand cross of
the Italian Order of the Crown
being in the number
Every conceivable crims is laid
♦o their charge, from blackmail,
highway robbery and counter
feiting to abdujtion. arson and
murder on the most ex raordinary
sca’e.
Their arrest followed the reve
lation of a lad, who, unobserved,
bad witnessed the punishment of
an innkeeper who, being suspect
ed of treachery, had heed walled
up alive.
Horr >r stricken by what he bad
seen, 'he hoy inti rined tome cara
bineri, or mounted constabulary
who being recruited from North
ern Italy, are, fortunately, froe
from any affiliations w ith Mafia,
and independent ami courageous
in the performance of their du
ties.
The dead body of the innkeeper
was found at the spot indicated by
the lad. and since the arrest, of
the band of 64 the fact hitherto
ignorned. has been brought to
light that four weeks ago the
daughter of a wealthy Eng'ish
man of the name of Whittaker,
who was tonring in the island, was
captured while out sketching and
abducted , being only released on
Ibe payment by her father of a
sum of $30,000.
The Mafia has often teen writ
ten about in the Unite States, but
sufficient stress bas net been laid
upon the fact that ts leaders are
as a rule, members of the very
l est society in the island—land
owners, aristocrats and even mu
nicipal and state dignitaries.
Indeed, there are few well-bred
Sicilians whom one meets in so--
ciety, either in or out of Italy
who are not liable to susp eiou of
being affiliated with the Mafia.
The better and best classes of peo
ple in Sicily still consider it quite
the thing to bmong to it and it is
doubtful whether it can ever be
suppressed or stamped out of exis
tence, at any rate within the next
100 years. ‘

Anofficai statement was given out

Nobody has heen deceived.
General Gomez’s reply to Blan

can not end tb* - war by such
means, Gomez dec’ares they will
choose between independence and

Gomez’s Det proclamati >n is
intended to head off any proposals
