TROY HEIRS TO CONTEST
Only Exception Is Small Bequest to
Sister, Who Is Since Dead Es
tate Will Total $60,000,000,
Not $100,000,000.
NEW YORK, July 25. The World to
morrow will say:
Every dollar of Russell Sage's great
fortune is left 'to Mrs. Sage by a will
made in 1901, except an insignificant be
quest made to Mrs. Fannie Cbapin, ot
Oneida, N. Y., an only sister, who died
two years ago.
The will is to be read at the home ot
Mrs. Sage at 632 Fifth avenue today, and
will be offered for probate Immediately.
It will undoubtedly be contested by the
Troy relatives of Mr. Sage, who will
charge that the 1901 will was made after
a mental breakdown on the part of Mr.
Sage and that Mrs. Sage exerted undue
influence over him in the distribution of
Ills wealth.
Not one dollar of the fortune is left to
charity. The only contribution Mr. Sage
ever made during his lifetime for this
purpose was when, after a year's solicl-J
tatlon by Mrs. Sage, he contributed 15O.0OO
to build a wing of the Presbyterian Hos
pital, ot which Mrs. Sage was vice-president.
The fortune of Mr. Sage, which was
popularly believed to be $100,000,000, and
even thought to be greater by the best
informed financiers of Wall street,
amounts to only about (60,000,000.
BODY PUT IN STEEIi CASE.
Electric Alarm Wires Are Attached
to Russell Sage's Grave.
NSW YORK, July . 25. The scenes to
day at the residence of the late Russell
Sage on Fifth avenue, where lay the
body of the deceased financier, were in
keeping with the simple funeral services
held at Far Rockaway, L. I., yesterday.
A few intimate friends of Mr. and Mrs.
Sage heard the prayers that were read
by the Rev. Andrew Hageman, D. D., as
sistant pastor ot the Collegiate Reformed
Church, a few minutes before the body
was removed from the house to be taken
to Troy, N. Y., for interment. The entire
first floor of the residence was filled with
floral tributes. At the head of the coffin
stood a large wreath of orchids and white
roses, a token from the clerks in Mr.
Sage's office. In the center of the casket
lay a wreath fro Miss Helen Gould,
and at the foot was another from George
Gould.
Incased In a hermetically sealed copper
envelope, placed within a solid mahogany
coffin, the body of Mr. Sage was put in a
chilled steel case, four Inches thick, riv
eted with steel bolts, locked with a lock
which can only be opened from the Inside,
and lowered into a grave carpeted and
lined with evergreens, on which the clods
were heaped and the mound will be built.
The steel case weighs three tons.
- Immediately after the steel box and con
tents were lowered into the grave, elec
trical connections were made and wires
strung so that an Immediate alarm will
be given If any attempt is made to tam
per with the remains. The extraordinary
efforts to thwart attempts by grave rob
bers was sanctioned by Mrs. Sage and
by her closest advisers.
The expenditure for this protection and
for the coliln and accessories will be
greater, so far as known, than any sum
expended In the burial of any other pri
vate citizen In the United States, and is
In striking contrast with the rigid econo
mies practiced during the long lifetime of
Mr. Sage.
The coffin alone, of solid mahogany,
with its copper inside envelope, trim
mings and mahogany handles, cost ap
proximately $1000. .The steel case and its
patent unpickable lock cost $22,000. It is
called the burglar-proof coffin, and it is
asserted that even without the added pre
caution of electrical protection or guards,
It would be Impossible for the most ex
pert grave robber to get at the body.
Mrs. Sagre. it Is said, has had a dread of
a violation of the sepulcher, since the
stealing of the body of A. T. Stewart, and
she readily consented to the proposal for
safeguarding the grave of her husband.
The steel case Is of such hardness that
it would take two safe experts a full
day to break the outer shell, and then
only by the employment of specially con
structed tools. There Is no visible lock to
be picked. Once the lid Is closed down, a
clf-locklng mechanism clamps it inside
at 20 points, and not the slightest opening
Is left for the Insertion of a wedge. The
corners are all rounded.
The will of the dead financier will be
offered for probate tomorrow, and then. If
Mrs. Sage consents, Its contents will be
made public.
BURIAL OF RUSSEUb SAGE.
Brief 'Services Are Held at Family
Lot at Oik wood.
TROY, N. Y.. July 25. The body of
Russell Sago was brought here from
New York today and buried In Oak
wood Cemetery beside the body of his
first wife. The body of Mr. Sage ar
rived in a private car attached to a
regular train from New York. Another
private coach contutned the mourners
and members of the funeral party,
numbering 0 persons.
But two floral pieces were brought
from New York to this city, one an im
mense wreath sent by the late bank
er's office stuff, the other a cluster of
lilies of the valley from the Sage Sum
mer home at Lawrence, L. I. The fu
nernl cortege proceeded from the rail
road station to Oakwood, where a large
number of persons had gathered at the
Sage family lot.
After a brief service, read by Rev.
Pr. Andrew Hageman of New York, the
body was committed to the grave. The
words which are to be engraved on the
Sage monument are:
"I have done the best that I could by
the light of the day."
CANNON AT CONEY ISLAND
Speaker of House Shoots the Chutes
and Sees Other Sights.
NEW YORK, July 35. "Uncle Joe"
Cannon, of Illinois, Speaker of the House
of Representatives, went to Coney Island
last night, saw all the sights, and in
sisted on being "one of the people."
standing In line, taking his turn with the
rest of the crowds there. He declared
that the big show place would have no
more enthusiastic "booster" than himself
hereafter, and entertained his friends by
many droll speeches.
Mr. Cannon and his companions first
beaded for the' scene of a thrilling melo
drama. Their guide started through a
private gate with the ;visitors to get in
ahead of a crowd at the ticket booth, but
Mr. -Cannon stopped him. "No," be said,
"I am one of tie people. Let us take
our turn with the rest," and he cheer
fully waited till his turn came to pass
through the gate. The deep-voiced youth
who tells the tale of a train robbery be
fore the curtain rises interested Mr. Can
non by his rounded periods, and when he
wound up with "The wages of sin is
death," Mr. Cannon remarked on the
truth of the words and settled back to
see the bandits do their work.
When the Speaker and his party shot
the chutes, Mr. Cannon held on to his
hat with a death-grip, and once ashore
exclaimed:
"That loosened me up. Now let's see
the whole thing."
He had his picture taken, and exacted
from the photographer a promise to make
one apiece and then destroy the plate.
Whirling down the mountain torrent of
the devil's gorge, Mr. Cannon threw dig
nity aside, and, catching hold of Senator
Penrose, of Pennsylvania, who is a big
man, said:
"You have got to be responsible for my
safety this trip. You are big enough to
keep this ship on even keel, and I am
going to stick by you to the last."
After visiting other places, Mr. Cannon
announced that he thought Coney Island
the finest place for the masses to enjoy
themselves he had ever seen, and that he
would make it his business to tell every
body he met during his campaign trip
this Fall to go to Coney Island.
FIELD GREAT TAX-DODEER
ESTATE MUST PAT BACK TAXES
TO TOTAL OF $2,500,000.
Chicago Property Worth $180,000,
000, or Which Nearly All Must,
Pay Seven Tears' Arrears.
CHICAGO, July 25. (Special.) Marshall
Field's executors will be asked to pay
taxes amounting to about $2,500,000. This
will be by far the greatest sum ever
levied upon the property of an Individual
taxpayer, and is practically the result of
a decision by the Board of Review today
fixing the value of personal property on
which the Field estate must pay taxes at
$130,000,000. The real estate is worth about
$50,000,000 additional, making the total
amount of property on which that estate
will have to pay taxes approximately
$180,000,000.
The larger portion of the assessment
against the Field estate is for back taxes
on property upon which the late Mr.
Field is held by the Board of Review to
have avoided paying taxes. The board
has gone back for seven years and lev
ied back taxes against the Field estate
for the entire period of the existence of
the present taxing machinery, which was
created in 1899.
ATTACK WOMAN'S VERACITY
Hartje's Witnesses Say Mrs. Ashby
Admitted Telling Falsehood.
PITTSBURG. July 25. Counsel for Au
gustus Hartje today renewed attempts to
discredit the testimony of one of Mrs.
Mary Scott Hartje's witnesses, Mrs.
Blanche Ashby, the colored domestic who
lived in the Hartje home, and to prove
that she had admitted that she had heen
promised $300 if she would make the depo
sition to the effect that Clifford Hooe, the
negro coachman, never had slept in the
spare room at the Hartje house when
Mrs: Hartje was away.
Several witnesses testified that Mrs.
Ashby told them that she had lied In
her deposition.' and that she had been
promised money for doing so. AU these
witnesses were put on the rock in cross
examination by Mrs. Hartje's chief coun
sel. Attorney John M. Freeman, and some
of them contradicted themselves in sev
eral Instances.
Mrs. Ashby was in court all day, and
she will go on the stand and reiterate her

WAIT TILL AFTER HARVEST
Premier Reaches Out for Support of
Moderates and Throws Jonahs
. Overboard Urgent Need of
Money to Relieve Famine.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 25. Though
It 1b difficult to obtain a true picture
of the conditions In the interior owing
to the embargo that nas been put upon
press dispatches, all Indications point
more and more to the postponement of
the threatened strike until the govern
ment shall be less, and the country
more, prepared for such an event; until
the harvest Is finished and the revolu
tionary movement develops spontane
ously among the Idle peasantry.
What news has been received from
the provinces today indicates that con
ditions are scarcely ripe, except in the
famine districts, for an upheaval. The
strategists of the revolutionary council
are laboring with the hotheads to In
duce them to postpone the call for a
general strike until It can come as a
supplement to the movement already
under way. A definite decision will be
reached within a day or so, in the re
organized Council of Workmen.
Democratic Party Dead.
The remnants of the Constitutional
Democratic Deputies, many of whom,
after having collected the arrears of
salary and mileage due them, have
started homeward, are caucusing indus
triously; but their importance has gone,
neither the government nor the revolu
tionists paying much attention to the
former dominant party In the lower
house of Parliament.
The government, indeed, has not
abandoned its efforts to enlist moder
ates in the Cabinet. Professor Mou
romtseff, the president of the dissolved
house, for whom Premier Stolypln was
vainly searching with an invitation to
go to Peterhof while the former was
presiding over the outlaw Parliament
at Viborg, was again appointed today;
but there is not the slightest prospect
that he can be swayed, even by Imperial
command, to take office.
Cabinet Unloads Jonahs.
No further changes in the Cabinet
have been decided upon, but M. Gourko,
who was assistant to M. Stolypln in
the Ministry of the Interior, who was
mentioned as M. Stichlnsky's successor
as Minister of Agriculture, and whose
character may be Judged by the fact
that he was high in favor under both
Von Plehve and Prince Sviatopolk
Mlrsky, probably will be jettisoned al
together by Premier Stolypln, his name
alone being sufficient to damn the new
government. The same fate may over
take' Military Procurator Pavloff, who
is now engaged In organizing the
League of Estate-Owners, to educate
the peasantry up to his ideas before the
new elections. '
Money Needed for Relief.
The most urgent problem before the
government in case of an immediate out
break is the relief of the distress in the
interior. The Cabinet meeting Tuesday
evening was devoted to this subject, and
it was voted to extend relief works in
the famine districts. A commission was
appointed to decide where the budget
could best be cut to find the $7,500,000
voted by Parliament for famine relief. It
will be necessary also to provide more
cash for the settlement of claims for
damages to estate during the peasant ex
cesses, the commission for Tekaterlnoslav
province alone demanding $150,000, in ad
dition to the $250,000 already expended,
but this is capable of being deferred.
Square Deal for Black Sea Sailors.
Premier Stolypln announced to the
Council of the Empire today -that he had
obtained from Emperor Nicholas special
powers for Admiral Skrydloff in restoring
and maintaining order and discipline In
the Black Sea fleet. The Admiral, who
departed today for Sevastopol, told the
Associated Press his first task would be
to Investigate the arrests of sailors of
the fleet and liberate those who were
unjustly sent to prison. He intimated
that he considered the officers largely to
blame for the mutinous spirit of the vari
ous crews. The Admiral took with him
a new naval procurator to see that Jus
tice is done in future court-martials. Ad
miral Skrydloff said he had learned that
Admiral Rojestvehsky and Captain Clado
probably will be restored to the roster of
the navy.
The Rech will say tomorrow that the
recovery on the Bourse today was due to
a loan of $250,000,000 by the Mendelssohns
to sustain prices.
MANIFESTO OF CONSERVATIVES
Three Members of Dooma Advise
People to Submit.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 25. Count
Heyden. Prince IvofE and M. Stak
ovich, the three members of Parliament
who refused to sign the Parliamentary
address to the country issued at Viborg.
July 23, today Issued a separate address
appealing to the people to quietly submit
to the imperial decree dissolving Parlia
ment, and to prepare for the elections of
members to the new Parliament. The
address points out that the Emperor acted
within his constitutional rights under the
fundamental law, and says that the
signers of the address in offering this
advice act from the profound conviction
that it would be a crime in the midst of
the present dangers to attempt to shake
the power of the sovereign.
After firmly setting forth the views of
the signers of the address regarding the
solution of the agrarian and other ques
tions and their dissent from the govern
ment programme, which made co-operation
between Parliament and the Minis
try impossible, the address says the Em
peror only exercised his lgeal prerogative
in submitting the issue again to the peo
ple to decide whether the views of Par
liament actually coincided with the senti
ment of the nation.
It appeals to the people to prove by
their calmness that they are fitted for
self-government, at the same time to
show the monarch by representatives
whom "they consciously elect" what they
desire, and advises them not to attempt
to use force, which would be criminal
madness, as It surely would provoke se
vere measures.
"The government." the address adds, "la

SHRINK BEFORE BAYONETS
Workmen Hesitate to Strike Until
Outbreak Comes in South.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 25. The So
cial Democrats have already given their
vote In favor of calling a general strike
not later than Monday, but some of the
workmen's unions, considering how
limited are their resources, shrink from
facing an ordeal of starvation and bay
onets. Anticipating an immediate and
extensive movement among the peas
ants in the South, they urge delay un
til the tide of revolt sweeps northward.
The political leaders are feverishly
meeting and conferring In secret, like
conspirators.
Every club In St. Petersburg, except
the gambling institutions, is closed.
Prince Dolgoroukoff's permanent Par
liament committee held several sessions
today, but the greatest secrecy is ob
served to prevent the government from
getting wind of the decisions. In the
meantime, government notes, inspired by
Premier Stolypin. are being busily issued
assuring the purpose of the government's
honorable intentions to continue the "lib
eral regime," but the fair words fall on
deaf ears. The Rech scoffs at the idea
that an era of liberal reforms can be in
augurated by the wholesale suppression
of papers, the restoration of the censor
ship, persecutions, arrests, the prohibit
ing of meetings, etc.
No word of the miUtary disorders is now
permitted to be published.
Discussing the financial situation, the
Rech today says that the quotations of
Russian securities here and abroad are
not a true barometer. The paper says
that a financial crash is impending, as
the government is resorting to Count
Witte's system by which millions are
used In Berlin and Paris as well as in St.
Petersburg to bolster up Russian bonds.
This Is the onl indirect reference made
by the press to the Parliamentary appeal
to the country to cut off the government's
supplies by refusing to pay taxes.
In the provisKes the suppression of
newspapers and the arrest of agitators
continues unabated. Up to the present
time there . is no evidence of a general
uprising of the peasantry, but news
travels slowly in the country. The only
sudden growth - of disorder among the
peasants thus far reported Is at Kostro
ma, 200 miles northeast of Moscow. A re
crudescence of the revolution 1b also re
ported tn the Baltic Provinces near Dim
itrovsk. In Orel Province the peasants on
the crown estates are also reported to be
in eruption. t
The refusal of the authorities to send
troops to save the estate of Baron Fred
ericks, aide de camp to the Emperor, 40
miles from the capital, which was plun
dered by peasants yesterday, seems to in
dicate that until the danger Is passed it
is the Intention of the War Office to keep
the troops concentrated In the cities and
protect the lines of communication be
tween here and Moscow and St Peters
burg and the frontier, so that In the event
of serious troubles In the army becoming
apparent troops can retire on St. Peters
burg, where the last stand will be made.
The papers of all the political and
workmen's clubs have been seized and
the lodgings of a number of members
of Parliament have been searched.
M. Salomkoff, a member of the out
lawed Parliament, and editor of the
Mlsla, whom the police Intended to
arrest, has fled to Finland.
Before the Emperor finally signed the
ukase ordering the dissolution of Par
liament, War Minister Rudiger ' and
Count Palatseyn. Chief of the General
Staff, each submitted a written opinion
that the army could be relied upon.

others' necks and wept tears of Joy.
An editorial in the paper glorifies
the dispersal of the "revolutionary as
sembly of Jews and Jewish sympathis
ers," adding:
"The prayers of the people have at
last found an echo in the heart of the
Emperor. Arise, Orthodox Russians;
take care that the next Parliament Is
not an assembly of Jews and revolu
tionists, but a state institution willing
to work in harmony with the auto
cratic Emperor and the fundamental
law. ... It was remarkable that
Parliament was dispersed on the anni
versary of Our Iidy of Kazan, the
protectoress of Holy Russia. True
Russians will now understand that the
only object of Parliament was the
downfall of Russia. Sons of Father
land, rejoice in your victory, but re
member that the Jewish hydra has a
hundred heads and that many heads
yet remain to be cut off."
The article concludes with assur
ances that a repetition of the.' revolu
tionary outbreak of last Fall is Im
possible, as Count Witte, "Count of
Sakhalin and Protector of the Jews,"
has fallen, and the men who are now
in control will know how to suppress
the Jews and revolutionists.
