Mrs. Hermann Oelrichs Will Contest
Settlement of Husband's Estate,
NEW YORK, Bept. 11.-The will of

Mrs. William Jay.
The news caused a sensation in sock
ety circles, although there had been
rumors that the will would cut off the
wife, who was the elder daoghter of
the late Senator Falr of California. No
one had dreamed, however, that Mr.
QOelrichs would Ignore his son in the
distribution of the estate, as It was
supposed that he was satisfied with
the arrangement whereby his wife was

Mrs. Oelrichs will contest the will.
This statement was made positively
by friends who know her attitude.
Mr. Oelrichs left an estate of at
least $10,000,000, and It is thought she
was done a great wrong when her hus-
band cut her off without a cent.
For years Mr. and Mrs Oelrichs
have rarely been together. She was at
Newport and lu this city while he was

teaching school at the time in
Rome and boarding at Papa
Young's, where he afterward found
his wile. At that time John Grif
