CLAIMS $20,000,000 SHARE
OF STEPHEN GIRARD ESTATE
.
Milwaukee Telephone Operator Com
ing Hero to Put Up Fight
MKs Susan Shiibnch, n Milwaukee
telephone operator, leaves for tins dt
today to light for a 520,000,000 share
of the Stephen O Irani Estate. Miss
Shabach and other relatives-base their
claim on nn old United States Court
decree which they nsbcrt gave this big
estate to Simon GIrard, of whom she Is
the direct descendant.
Tho $20,000,000 estate Is a part ol
tho property accumulated by Stephen
Glrnrd during the Hcvolutlonary Wnr
and Is n HOOO-ncre plot of land in old
Schuylkill Township, now u part of the
City of Philadelphia. Frederick F.
Groelle,- representing the contestants,
will leave Milwaukee with Miss Sha
bach. Stephen GIrard died without lenving
any children. When he died here, in
1831, ho left all of his property, with
the exception of the renl estate concern
ed In tho present claim, to tho City of
Philadelphia. His only natural hclr-nt-lnw
was Dominic GIrard. of this city,
a cousin. Dominic Girnrd claimed this
Schuylkill Township land.
In lSTil n successful suit wns started
by Simon Girnrd. son of Dominic, to
recover th.o lnnd. Attorney Groelle
claims that he has been provided with
crlilicd copies of tho judgment of the
United States District Court, awarding
the property to Simon GIrard. grand
father of Miss Shabach. Apparently the
judgment still stands. ..
Other Milwaukee heirs are William
Shnbach nnd Simon Giiard, grandsons
of Dominic Girnrd.

Ho snid ho would make n statement
concerning this balance when the proper

nesses during the executive session.
Newspapermen Ejected
Five minutes nfter tho committee
met today, spectators and newsnaner-
mcu wero ejected from tho room as a
preliminary to au executive session.
Major Campbell precipitated this
move by a request that he be permitted
to outline, intoi-mally, the character of
his answer to Mrs. Bcrgdoll's charges
and to lay before the committee u list
of witnesses he desired to hnyc called
to support his story.
"Major Campbell, the principal wit

He was particularly nnxlous thnt the

WORD OF HIERARCHY UPON
FUTURE ACTION AWAITED
By GEORGE NOX MrCAIN
James A. Fluherty, supreme knight
of the Knights of Columbus, is today
speeding on his way to attend and pre
side over the dellbcrntlons of thnt or
ganization, which assembles In Snn
Frnncleo next week.
The ICnlghts of Columbus is n dis
tinctively Roman Catholic organization.
Membership In the Catholic Church Is
requisite for admlslon.
Whatever In n serulnr way Is of in
terest to the Church ns n whole holds n
lnrge element of importance for the
Knights of Columbus.
Mr. Flaherty a few hours prior to
taking the trnln for the Pnclfic Coast
discussed the decision of the Supreme
Court on the antl-sectnrlnn npproprln
tlon provision in the Stntc Constitution.
As the lending Catholic layman his
views hold a vnluc second only to those
of the higher members of the hierarchy.
As n prominent member of the bar

pressions npnrt from his coinmnndlng
position in the premier seculnr order ot
tho Church in this country.
Accepts Iegal Reasoning
"From the purely legal standpoint I
do not see that Chief Justice von Mosch
zNker could have lendcrcd a decision
other than he did." said Mr. Flaherty.
I "I think that members of the legal
profession familiar with the language
of the Constitution in this respect will

terpretcd the law as It exibts in the
Constitution
"With regard to the main issue as It

cerned with the decision that, for the
future, is another question.
"A careful and unbiased review will,
I think. dicloN that nil thec institu
tions that hnve been receiving State aid
have been beneficiaries of only n small
sum in proportion to the service they
have rendered to humanity.
"I nin not personally fnmilinr witn
the work done by nil Catholic charitable
institutions that hnve been receiving
appropriations. There is one exception,
the Houe of the Good Shepherd, which
I believe has boon getting some financial
aid In the wny of appropriations.

Norfolk. Va., July 22. Brlgadter
General Mitchell furnished the greatest
possible argument for disarmament
yesterdny afternoon when with n 2000
pound bomb from an nrmy airplane, he
sank the German battleship Ostfries
land. This waa the Inst of the scries of
tests of the airplane against the war
ship, nnd in every one it was demon
strated thnt naval craft as at present
built is at the mercy of tho nirman.
From the submarine straight up to the
battleship every class ot war vessel
has gone to the bottom under nir at
tack. When the final onslaught from the
air began at noon yesterdav ths air
planes dropped six 2000-pound bombs
in tho course of a few minutes. The
fourth mid fifth bombs launched struck
ir the water cloe to the port side of
the battleship, which hnd apparently
been wenkencd by a 000-pound bomb
which struck In tho water on Wed
nesdny afternoon near tho stern anjl
started n leak during the night.
After the fifth 2000-pound bomb
struck in tho water near the spot nl
ready wenkencd, the old Gcfrmnn bnt
tleshlp began to go down quickly by
the stern. In n few minutes the wnter
line nt the bow could be seen rising
nbnve the wnter. At the same time, her
Rtern wns nvvnsh nnd her mnsts could
be seen leaniu: away from the observa
tion ship, the Henderson, which was on
her starboard side.
Naval Officers Surprised
There was a (sharp list to port ns tnc
atirn lowered In the water. Nnvnl of-
fleers on the Henderson were incredu
lous, iney torn now war vckbcih in iuc
late war stayed afloat for days with a
wound like thnt on the Ostfriesland,
tho undnmaged compartments keeplnj
her on the surface. As they tnlked slit
visiblv rolled to port and thrust her
l.ose higher nnd higher In the nlr.
Then with everybody's glass watching-,
she turned swiftly over on her port
side, her stern already submerged. Then
she stood on end In the sen. her bow
rising fifty feet above the surface. She
stood there for three or four minutes
with only her nose showing nnd then
went swiftly down.
As she disappeared, leaving only a
great white spot on the sen where the
wnters rushed together, nno of General
Mitchell's bombers discharged another
2000-pound bomb with perfect nim at
the plnce where she went down. A grent
column of wnter mingled with blnck
smoke rose. The force of the explosion

London, July 22. The British Gov

peace in Ireland, p-obnhly will not b
made public until n definite reply to
the Government's terms has been re
ceived from the Sinn Fein leaders In
Dublin, it was stated In official circles
hero this afternoon.
It is expected Uiat Mr. Lloyd George
w-lll bo able to make n comprehensive
statement concerning the pcaco terms
In tho House of Commons next week,
It was added.
Do Vnlera Goes to Dublin
Mr. do Valera nnd his cabinet left
this morning for Dublin. The Irish
leader took with him the document he
received yesterdny from the hands of
David Lloyd George, the British Prime
Minister. Benin? forth definite proposals
by the British Government as a settle
ment of the Irish problem.
These proposals will be submitted to
members of the Dail Eireann. ns well
as other prominent Irish Republicans,
and Mr. Lloyd George will hear from
time to time how the discussions nre
proceeding. Later Mr. de Valera is ex
pected to return to London for further
conversations, nnd Sir Jnmes Cralr. the
Ustcr Premier, may re-enter the
negotiations ot this time.
The Irish leader appeared to be In a
cheerful frame of mind ns ho emerged
from his conference with the British
Premier yesterday, nltliough an agreed
coinihunimie issued immediately after
the meeting snid that no basis for a
formnl conference has yet been found.
Truro to Continue
In this connection it is nuthorltatlvelv
stated that the truce in Ireland wijl
continue for nn Indefinite period, thus
convincing the most skeptical that the
factions still nre far from discouraged.
London newspapers this morning tako
nn exceedingly cheerful view of the en
tire situation, refusing even to antici
pate the probability of n breakdown.
Several political correspondents supply
reported versions of the Premier's state
ment to the Southern Irish leader,
which, nltliough they agree in some
points, differ sufficiently in detail to
show that tho terms still remain largely
a matter of speculation and will not bo
cleared up until the official text of tho
proposals is made public."
Meanwhile opposition rrom "the ex

While this interview is understood to
have had for Its purpose the conciliation

deputation later in the day said that
Mr. Chamberlain's explanations were
"entirely unsatisfactory" and that
about forty of the dissenters had met
and pas'cd resolutions "expressing
grave apprehension over the Govern
ment's Irish policy."
Jut how much this hostility wlll.be
allowed to affect the Government Is not
yet apparent. The London Times says
It Is not to be underestimated nnd adds
