Daniel Frohman Tells About New
Plays to Be Seen Soon in Portland
(SpveUl DlRMtch to Tb Joarnd. )
New York, July 80. What promises
to be one of the most bitterly contested
will fight that New York has seen
In many years waa begun today when
the will of Benjamin Hart, the. Ameri
can who died In Paris last May leaving
an estate valued at several millions of
' dollars, came up for probate In the sur
rogate's court. Before the case Is set
tled there probably will be unfolded a
tale of free love and an alleged "af
finity" that will maice exceedingly In
teresting reading.
Benjamin Han amassed a fortune
during the civil war as a clothing pel
dler, and Increased It gjeatly by Ju
dicious Investment? In New York real
estate. Thirty years ago he took up
his residence In Paris, and flvo years
later adopted an Italian child, Gahrlelle
Josephine Lucchesl, who afterward
came to be known as Isabel Hart Later
she married a French diplomat. Jean ' own.
(iuillemln. Some years later Mart eel
up an establishment for a woman named
Gahrlelle Juliette Antoinette de Ble,
who benefits largely under the present
will.
OabrleUe Disinherited,
Mart's friendship for this womnn
offended Mine. Guillemln, anil It was
tmld that In consequence ho disinherited
her. In the will, however, the testator
pnys he amply provided for her at nr
iniirrlagp. He left her two art objeois,
whlcn bequest he revoked In a codicil.
So she gets nothing.
To make the situation more complex,
last February a MrH. Wright, who said
Klie lived at 21 Perry Rtreet. this city,
proclaimed that she was the wife of
Hurt, whom she said she married la
1 r,rnn ? 7 tnr BKO. TheV lived tO-
fiathcr three years before separating.
Vrr.m thnt time, she said. Hart nave her
a monthly allowance. She, as well na
the adopted daughter, will contest mo
will. The third contestant is said to
be Mme. I'c Pie. .
The henof iclarlen named In the will,
all of them being relatives, are Mary P.
H Jones or Foutn orange. -. .1.. a nmtn;
Benjamin Hart of Han Francisco, a
nephew: Frances Breated of Chicago a
nir.ro Tmoirene V. Hart of South Or
ange, and Michael Hart of New York
city-
Undue Influence A-Ueg-ed.
In a codicil the testator directed thnt
"the annultv of J16.000, which In ray
second codicil I aid bequeath to G. J. A.
Ie Ble. shall bo paid to her free of
all possible taxes, assessments, commis
sions or deductions."
In Another codicil he bequeathed "to
Gabrielle Juliette Antoinette De Ble
mv house and land at 29 Bou De Galilee.
Paris, together with all personal prop
erty find effects In said house, except
articles specifically bequeathed." lie
also directed that J2S.000 be pnid to
Mile. De Ble, free of all tnjces. Immedi

estate Is to be created Into a trust, the
Income from which Is to be paid to dls
nephew. Michael Hurt.
Donald Harper, a lawyer. Is here from
Paris to look after the Interests rf
Mine Guillemln. Hart's adopted daugh
ter, In the coming will contest. It will
be claimed that Hart had always given
his adopted daughter to understand that
she would lnneru me oum u ins mil
lions and that they were always on
most affectionate terms until the aged
millionaire met Mile. De Ble. One of
the grounds for Contesting the will will
be that Mile. De Ble exercised undue
Influence over him.

"They say that women have no
chance on the stage," he said'. 'It Is
not chance they need but magnetism.
Put a girl in the most obecure place In

She was paid $10 a week for saying

But as she grew older she became less
good looking; she grew rather iat and

some remorkublo work; things no one
else would dare to trv and many do not
cure to see. Her plays ae growing 1'iss
popular with the people constantly for
Ihu people who oari apprsolate them are
of the small minority."
Without a slnglo word of disparage
ment, and with a courteous Interest
throughout In her welfare Mr. Frohman
conveyed the Impression that he Is not
at all enamoured of Mrs. Flske the
present Mrs. Flske. He had many In

per with bated breath and with awe. He
spoke of the constantly Increasing de
mand for good actors and aotressea, the
passing of the old New York stock com
panies, because each actor was a star
and went to make a play the next year.
He was himself manager of the Lyoeum,
one of the greatest of these.

they make names, as they are sure to
