SEARCH IN VAIN FOR SEN. CATLIN'S WILL AND MONEY Friends Expected to Find For-, tunc in Cash and Per sonal Properly Following the funeral yesterday of' the late Senator Sterling ft. Catlin held in Wilkes-Harre and which was attended by a large part of the Sen-' ate and many State officials, includ- i ing Lieutenant-Governor Beidleman, j members of Governor t Sproul's cab- , inet, it was learned that the estate, estimated at between $1,000,000 and $3,000,000 virtually has disappeared, i except for the real estate. No will j has as yet been found and no ex planation can be given as to what j became of the fortune. A thorough search of the two es-! tates maintained by the eccentric Senator has been made in vain for l a will. That Senator Catlin in recent years received cash payments of about, $20,000 annually on royalties on coal I underlying his properties and that 1 he collected not less than $130,000 j in addition for the sale of rights of way to two railroad extensions is known. But not one cent of the j money has been discovered. Deficit Found Careful checking up at three banks j that regularly conducted Senator Catlin's financial business shows that) instead of a surplus, there is an ac-| tttal deficit, which, however, is more| than covered by the value of the lands left in the Catlin estate. The' deficit is for mortgages whose pro- j reeds also have disappeared. Search! for the will and Catlin money began ! Monday morning and last night came | io a fruitless end. Not the least in-j dication of Senator Catlin's disposi- i tion of the vast funds received byj him in recent years has been discov- ! ered. A bachelor, who lived modestly! without servants, automobiles or any I of the modern luxuries, the Senator. ! by the disappearance of all cash j funds, would seem to have spent at j least $500,000 in the past ten years, j A possible solution to the lack of a j will and exhausted funds is taken i from the life and works of Senator ! ''atlin. He lived entirely apart from; his family, his nearest relative being Mrs. Margaret Covell. of Ardmore. | and his next nearest the Colonial families of Miner. Moffett and I Thompson, names that are identified with the early settling of Wyoming I Valley. Col. Asher Miner, hero com- j mander of the 109 th Field Artillery.! now here recuperating from the ef- ; foots of a wound that cost him thej loss of a leg in the Argonne battle, : is a eousin. Senator. Catlin was the last of his immediate family and j therefore inherited a gieat share of those of the Colonel Bosses. Since! the death of his uncle. George Cat-j lin. famous painter of Indian life, j whose works adorn the Smithsoniun j Institution at Washington, the Sen-; ator has lived a recluse, at least so, * far as his family and close relatives' were concerned. Finding of a will, believed to have j been fiiade two years ago. would re-' lieve the cousins of Senator Catlin j from a great bulk of State tax that i otherwise will be collected. It also; might give a < lew as to the ' k -f' cash. That the will has been i! . troy- j oil. possibly by the Senator's >wn di rection, is believed possible and in I that event it would be ♦ ken for granted that the qoted S . te t -gis lator personally divided his moneyl before his death, making the wards under a pledge of secret- . It is known that several eharita' e insti tutions often were mention by him as preferencesrin a d -pes on of his I wealth. Boyhood fri a.' nd others' who administered to the Senator in! bis long illness, during the months j when he was practically isolated in; his home, also are thought of as! secret beneficiaries.

POLAND'S ARMY BADLY OFF FOR SINEWS OF WAR General Pilsudski Says Syl dicrs Arc Plenty, but Uni forms and Rifles Are Not Warsaw. March -7. "We have men and officers, hut no uniforms, rifles, munitions or artillery." said General Pilsudski. provisional head of the Pol ish state, in an interview, here to-day with the American Press representatives of the American Mission to Poland, when asked of the military needs of Po land. "Poland." continued the general, "is attacked on three sides and cannot protect herself without technical war material, which she is not yet equipped for manufacturing." Ho said he was grateful to the allies, especially America, from whom Poland had received something definite —food. Asked how many men he would need to equip, he answered: \cw Equipment for 500,000 "That is difficult to say. Our nation in some sections having not participated directly as a combatant in the war, we have many young men who were not drafted in the German. Austrian or Russian armies, and therefore have not yet fought. 1 should say we might need to equip 500,000 men. Much material in France that the allies have no more need for might well be spared for us. America has guns, ammunition. air planes and automobile trucks which she SELL FOR LESSfIPfiPSftPBPSiS!IPSifi!IP!Sfi!IPfiOISifiM&igi iiThe Latest Spring Styles in ///////////////// numumuiiuiinuiiiiiiiji th I . . c - „Ci.„L:_ I! g Coats, Capes and Dolmans I '■ > ' j* '' TheLatestSpnngStylesin ,J A A coats-—- ::rr:,r: E I jpwj Ladies' and Misses' Suits H l_ 1 OX Keindocr tan, l.iberty blue. navy, black, rose, aa Ma a ■%■ ■ ■ aaa aa ■|BkM WA Y(k A ttK SXS SK ' RULI DIPT.

Gorman Army Demoralised Questioned as to whether, with the Polish army equipped, the various at tacks on Poland could be repelled so as to produce permanent peace. General | Pilsudski replied: "I believe so. Our | army would be superior in morale. The | German army now is demoralized. When j men have lost faith in the leadership | of their generals their spirit has been f broken and they no longer obey their j officers properly. With the patriotic I enthusiasm of opr troops I believe we ' could soon bring the Germans to terms."
