SHERRY'S French Canadian Dialect Artist Well Recommended Charles Zueblin of Boston found much to admire iiLo Grande. In his speech yesterday afternoon which many contend was one of the leading lecture features of the current Chau tauqua, he brought a message of learning in "city beautiful." Some called it visionary, and some main tain it was too many years in advance of thie times, but of such come reform and improvement. In the first place he found much to admire, and some tilings to criticise in this city. In addition to that which was quoted of him in the Observer yesterday he al luded to many features locally. He approved of the city government; of the city's plan to remove garbage but disapproved of the manner of its ulti mate disposal; he liked the location of the churches, the court house and the playgrounds for childien; he ad vocated still more playground; ihe ad vocated, as a whole, tne parking sys tem and Riverside Park claiming it to be not too far from the city but ad vocated better roads to it; he ap proved of tha paving done; he advo cated municipal ownership of public utilities. Because he is a man cap able of designing Oakland, Los An-1 geles and other large cities, his words carried weight, and albeit ; some tihincs he advocated were ex-1 pensive, his address ranks high in popular favor. Those who voiced their disapproval of his argument were in deed limited. A BIT OK ACTING WHICH HITS HOME. Vivian Martin in the Fox Feature "A Modern Thelma." v Olaf Guldmar (William 11 Tooker) and his family, chief of which is Thelma (Vivian Martin), the beauti 1'bl maid of Norway, and his servant Sigurd (Albert Ricardi), a character part of unusual force. The outdoor scenes of the north land are shown correctly as well as the native cos tumes and customs of the primitive land of the long night. In this illustration of the quaint home life of the northland Miss Mar tin, as the daughter, and Mr. Tooker's excellent character acting as master of the ihoHise produced some most charming scenes. Thu film from end to end radiates with freshness and an exactness of detail which makes the spectator forget that he is living in the most modern country of tAe. most progressive century. All this was taken only by great pains and hard ships in an isolated mountain place in Georgia which was the only section of the American continent where tha ex act Scandinavian scenery could be found.

Relatives of the late Robert Coleman, of this city, a power for many years in the iron ore and steel industry, were startled when they learned that a man named Dr. Guide Taurcn, or Hinkel, had be gun a contest at Ixsbanon, Pa., against the will of the late Rosalie Parent Coleman, widow of Robert Coleman. The contestant asserts that he is a son of the dead woman and thnt she bequeathed her estates in this coun try to him, but that she disinherited Mm because he joined the German army as a surgeon at the outbreak of the war. There is a hint that the physician had been adopted subse quent to Mr. Coleman's death. The holdings comprising the estate consist largely of ore banks at Corn wall, near Lebanon, which have . been in the Coleman family for genera tions and are estimated to be worth $1,000,000. The beneficiaries under the new will are J. Coleman Drayton, of New York, a widely-known sportsman and hunter; Renald George De Repter, a cousin of Mrs. Coleman, and Camille Besson, a friend of the testator. The heirs are all residents of this country. Much mystery attaches to the new claimant, who represents himself as Mrs. Coleman's son. Mr. Coleman was an uncle of the late Robert Cole man Drayton, a banker, who died sev eral months ago and whose family lives at 1715 Locust treet, and B. Dawson Coleman, who for many years was the executive factor in the Coleman interests in Lebanon county. Mrs. Robt. Coleman Drayton said that she did not understand that Robert Coleman's widow had been married more than oice, and that the identity of the man who represented himself as her son was a puzzle to the family. Mr. Coleman, according to his rel atives, began to live abroad about 30 years ago. He married Rosalia Par ent in Paris. Several times Mr. and Mrs. Coleman visited this country. In the course of these visits none of the relatives ever .learned that Mrs. Coleman 'had been married previously, ii il.i nl. nor was vnere any aut-snun mui. one nad a son. Dr. Tauern, or Hinkel, as he lias often been known, is a native of Frei burg, Germany. He declares in his petition that Mrs. Coleman, his moth er, died in Paris, April 8, 1915. Her will showed that as the document was drawn originally, Doctor Tauern, or Hinkel had been made the sole heir to all her estates in this country. ' However, a codicil had been added on February 211, 1915, which cut off the physician entirely. ; He was dis- IF THE CHAIN EVER BREAKS! "V?!' -if..... ft LOOK A' is mm ''Ay m " O ' - nil H7 -- TEA5ET I 'v' " Muff. ' inherited in terse language: 'On account of the war I disinherit my son, Guido Hinkel." Dr. Hinkel asserts that his mother was intensely French, as was shown by her bequest of her French proper ties to her beloved city of Paris. He says he was a German subject and was called to the colors. He obeyed und thus brooked his mother's anger. Always Look To i Be. Unit Main. U. S. fU. OfflCfl.
