Servants Also Rewarded In The Last Testament Of A Remarkable American WANTED ALL TO SHARE Washington, March 8.—UP—To the nation he served so devotedly In war and peace, Oliver Wendell Holmes tonight bequeathed more than $300,000, returning to It a large share ot the salary he received for hla 29 years on the Supreme Court Bench. Filing of the late Justice's will re¬ vealed th« bequest, one of the most remarkablo In the country's history —one which waa In keeping-with the philosophy of service to tho common good which he preached through his Interpretations ot the law. Holme's estate was OHlimatod at $56,^,000, To his nearest rolalivo, a nephew, Kdward ,J. Holmes ot lios¬ ton, he loft $100,000, Bequests to cousins and servants, ranging from $35,000 to $I.noo, accounted for about $124,000 moro. All the rest Holmes liciiuoatliod to Iho Federal govornment. He speci¬ fied no particular use for the money; so. under the law It will go into the Treasury's miscellaiioous receipts, there to Iofo Its Identity and become simply a part ot the great fund from which the govorn¬ ment meets Us huge bills for feed¬ ing and clothing the needy, paying salaries and m.iintalnlng tho mani¬ fold federal activities. It was ostlmalcd llnlmcs received a total of about $490,000 In salary for his sorvlce In tho Supreme Court. Thus he returned to fho nation about twn-tliirds of that amount. Friends believed the be- iiueat must rejirescnt nearly all he received beyond what ho spent for livint; expenses. Wealth To Tha Peopl* The bequest was made In ono paragraph ot the will which Holmes drew on November 3, 1931. After providing the individual bequests, the will aaid: "All ot the rest, residue and re¬ mainder of my property ot what¬ soever nature, wheresoever situate, of which I may die, seized and posscsHOd, or In which I may have any Interest, at the time of my death, I give, devise and bequeatli to the United States ot America." The property which will go to the governmont apparently wlil In¬ clude the old-fashlonod red brick house In down town Washington where Holmes lived for moro than 30 years and where he died Marcii 6. Search of Treasury records Indi¬ cated the beque.st to the government was almost without precedent. Some years ago a woman willed to th" Treasury a number of Gorman bonds on which $1,000 was realized. Holmea left to the Library ot Con¬ gress all his cngravlng.M. etching.^ and photographs.

Memliers of the crews of the stricken .submarines were reported violently seasick, adding to their dis¬ tress, it wa.< reported. This Is be¬ lieved to have «>xplained the "bad condit ioua of pensonnel" referred to in mcs.sage.s roceived by Coaid Uuard headquarters.

Orders for the Coast Ouard cutter Agassiz to Join the others were cancelled. The condition ot the sea was re¬ ported to be rougher Ihan when the distress signals wore first given. Attaches of the I'eruvlan em¬ bassy at Washington said the ships were destined for a yard in I'lilla¬ delphla to undergo "needed repairs," Kxactly what theso repairs were was not known, but one ofllclal said ho believed tho trip was to "recharge the batteries or some¬ thing like that."

HEAVY SNOW HITS TRAFFIC Flagstaff, Ariz., Mar. 9.—UP—A terrific snow storm swept tho area betweon Flagstaff and Williams to¬ day, stalling scores ot automobiles and forcing the occupants to trudge tlirougli deep drifts to tlic nearest habitations. Dozens ot autos wero driven or pushed oft the highways and abandoned. Only heavy trucks wore able to negotiate tho roads and tholr progress was precarious. SCHOOL STRIKE ENDS IN TEACHER VICTORY Public school classes will rosumo In Maytleld borougii tomorrow morning after a tcaihcrs strike lasting two weeks. Thu Instructors voted late yesterday to ond tholr walk-out after tl|o beleaguered "chool directors had acccoded to all the demand! made by Ihe Teachers •Association. Settlement ot the strike came I'lien the newly reorganized school hoard agreed to divide substitute *'ork evenly among all uroiiip'fi\ed 'cachors. IVevloiisly tho dlrocti r.^ had granted the strikers a ful month's salary and al.so promised tl) float a $1D,000 bund to meet rc- iiialnlng salary debts. The question of substitute work, however, remained until School Director M, .1. {Ironnan sr. agreed to the teachers demands that the name of his son, .M. J. >liennan Jr., be stricken from tho list ot substi¬ tute teachers. In tho future, under the agrecmciit reached yesterday, substitute assignments v^lll bo given In regular urder to Alice Kane, Kloronco Walker, Helen Whitmoro and Harold Dcinjis^y, Xew Y'ork, March 9.—UP—The McCarran "prevailing wage" amendment to the Public Worka bill does not entail the "appropriation ot a nngle dollar" more than is contemplated. Its sponsor. Senator Patrick . A. Man»wf n, Dem., Nev., declared tonight. In a plea for the Incorporation of the amendment In the proposed $4.- 880,000,000 nellef legislation, the Nevada senator said the jiroposal "would permit the President lo limit the aggregate monthly earnings of a worker on a Work Uellet iiroject so that the worker may be more inclined to go In private Indu.stry." Mc(?arran pointed to the payment of tho prevailing wages ot each community In which PWA and CCC work Is done. "The amendment," ho said, "will permit the President to carry out Ills plan of a limited montlily ag¬ gregate ot earnings for ono who is taken oft the dole nnd placed la Work Relief, and at the same timf the amendment will carry out the whole spirit ot established Amer¬ ican policy. Iiouse To VsLHH Bonus Wa.^iington, March 9—UP—Paa¬ sage of the Soldiers Bonus bill hy a two-thirds vote of the House next week was iiidic.'itod tonight as Ke¬ publican leaders flatly refused to make a parly i le over Ihe method of paying the ;>J.000,000,000 to vet¬ erans. Admini.stralioii leader.s forecast House approval of the bonus by the largest vote since tho controversial issue has boset Congres.'. Its fate in the Senate, however, remained problematical. An attempt of American I.,eglon of¬ ficials lo have ftepublican Leader Bertrand Snell agree to fight for a rule which would prevent consider¬ ation of the Patman inflation-bonu.s hill, failed decisively. It was learned that Snell had turned down the ro- que.st and informed Democratic leaders he would stand bv their plan to let both the Legion and Patman mea.suros come to a vote. Speaker Josepii W. Byrns .said to¬ day he favored an open rule which would allow Patman bill advocates to offer tholr measure as a substi¬ tute for the Legion bill, sponsored by Rep. Fred .M. Vinson, D., Ky. Rep. W^right Patman, D., Tex. au¬ thor of the famous bonus Inflation bin, said he would Insist, however that the rulo permit a roll call vote on whether hla bill or the Vinson measure be adopted.

Aftor the piiik-sllp bill has been disposed of, Byrns said, the House will consider District of Columbia legislation. The HOLC bill may come up again Tuesday. The House seethed with revolt during the entire session, but It was not until lU'p. Josso Wolcolt, R., Mich., offered an amondmciit to a rider to the bill. Involving llic Na¬ tional Housing Act, that tho mem¬ bers ot the majority became un¬ ruly. Kep. John O'Connor, D., N. V., chairman ot the Rules Committee, made the motion to adjourn when It became apparent that Wolcott's motion was to be approved. The amendment carried by a voice vote, 118 to 89. Observers wore at a loss to c.-ijilain the action.

Maloney Defies Valentine By Ordering Followers To Stay Away From Jobs MASS MEETING TODAY YOUTH IS KILLED BY Former Secretary Of U, S, TreaS' ury Loses Suit Under Anti-Trust Laiv And Bausch Plaintiffs Are Given Money Claim For Violation Athens, March 9.~UP—The gov¬ ernment opened a crushing often- alve against the Venizollst revolu¬ tionists today, preparatory to a decisive battle in Macedonia ex¬ pected to decide tho outcome of the civil war aimed at restoring EIou- therlos Venizelos to power. The opposing armies faced oach othor across tho river Struma in .Macedonia along a front ot 12 to 15 miles long in tho snow-clogged valley. Tho battio. which may be the most decisive in modern (;roek history, was e.\pected to reach its height at dawn Sunday. From 10:30 a. m. until early afternoon and from 6 p. in. to 10 p. ni. Saturday, smashing arlillcry and airplane attacks wero delivered by the government forces, tho morn¬ ing bombardment preparing for the attack and the afternoon barrage apparently covering a preliminary drive which forced the rebels to re¬ treat to their previously prepared positions for a last stand. The government fleet, luadcd by the reconditioned battleship Kllkl.s, formerly the U. S. S. Mississippi, sailed trom Piraeus, Port of Athens, for an undisclosed destination, and airplanes were sent to attack Crete, stronghold of Venlzelos. Planes Do Damage Three planes loaded with power¬ ful bombs attacked Candia and Rethymno, Crete, Infllctliig heavy damage and probably causing many casualties. The planes bombed and sot fire to an oil frcighUr In Candia harbor. Canea, hcadciiar- ters ot Venizelos, was not bombed because of poor vl.slbillty, which would have ondangi'rcd non-com¬ batants. The planes merely dropped leaflets calling on the neople to support the government. In the Macedonian sector, gov¬ ernmont planes occasionally t oared over the rebel fortifications durJng the lull in comliat late tonight, try¬ ing to spot artillery and dropping bombs. The fh'ot reports of iioasible danger to foreigners during the Creek revo¬ lution were received today. Slight damage to the porch of the house ot Mike Tirpak, B4 Market street, Clen Lyon, was caused this morning at :;;15 by a dynamite blast. No windows wero broken In tho Tirpak Iiouse nor in tlie neighboring prc,pcrtic3, Tirpa ic is a superintendent ot Prudential Insurance Company. A son, Nor¬ bert, is employed In Wanamie col¬ liery. Newport police estimated that the blast was caused by no more than a halt stick ot dynamite. Minor outbreaks o£ violence before midnight in Wilkes-Barre City las; night heralded the atart ot the sixth week ot United .¦\nthracite Minei-s general Glen .Mden strike. Stones were hurled through win¬ dows ot several homes on three street.? of Rolling MIII Hill section between 9:30 aud 10:30 oclock and were interpreted by the occupants as threats against any who might be employed at .South Wilkes-P.arre col¬ liery or any other Glen Alden Coal Company mine. Tiie rock barrages camo shortly after Judge W. Alfred Valonlino told Tho Sunday Independent Im would dispose of tlie contempt of court action a.gainst 29 new union oflicials nnd mombors "this week, probably by the middle ot tho wook." .ludge Valentine also added "you can positively say tliat tho case will bo disposed ot this week." Iiulications last night pointed to I Thomas JMalonoy, now union dis¬ trict president, his entire State and district oxocutive boards and a I score ot local uninn iirosidcnls and secretaries being held in conlonipt ot court whon llioy mako their fina! appearance before Judge Valentine this week. Refuse Peace Order Maliiney declared last night that he and his colleagues had not devi¬ ated from tholr original stand that the Olen Alden strike—which got under way on February 4—cannot bo called off ovon though Judge Valentino ordered its rcsclndinjj in a fiirmal court order. In fact, JIaloncy yesterday after¬ noon at Nantlcoko urged 2,500 mino workers to remain away from work toniorrow morning wiion the Glen Alden resumes after two days ot idleness due to slow market condi¬ tions. "I .tsked all men to remain away from \v#rk w hou I addressed tho mass mooting in Falcon's hall," Maloney said. "I .also urged them to resort to no violence as our strike Is won without that.

Mellon. A jury in the courtroom ofi Federal District Judge Harland B. Howe returned its verdict after 34 hours 'of deliberation, finding the plaintiff company^ injured to the extent of $956,300. Judge Howe, under provisions of the anti-trust laws, was obliged to assess the huge corporation triple damages. The suit was considered of great importance in the determi¬ nation of monopolistic practices in the industry as charged by the Bausch company. The court, in awarding triple damages, asserted that "in view of the evidence, it does not appear that the award is sufficient." The Bausch company charged a violation of the anti¬ trust act, alleging the Mellon-controlled defendant company conspired witli foreign importers to fix prices of virgin aluminum, thereby monopolizing interstate trade through the control of both raw and fabricated aluminum. Tiic plaintiff, manufacturer of "duralumin" and alum¬ inum alloys, contended the corporation as a "competitor in the fabricating of aluminum and a producer of virgin alum¬ inum" controlled both the price of tiie raw material and the finished products and that it used this control as a "squeeze" against the plaintiff. Sought Nine Millions Tlius, the Bausch company pleaded, it could not profit from its efforts in the aluminum field. The suit for damages t weeks. Bausch first sued the but this action was dropped. The second suit, tiled late in 1!)3I, was tried two years latrr al Now Haven and resulted in a ver¬ dict for the aluminum company. Tlie Circuit Court ot Appeals ordered a retrial.

Because ot this price for ingot (virgin aUiminum) the plainllff said, the defendant company "was able to earn enormous profits and be¬ cause of tliose profits was enabled to sell fabricated material at ^o low a price as to injure ci m|iolitor.< who owned rolling mills and wore otaiiiig $9,000,000 lasted nin« .Aluminum Corporation in 1928, I forced to pay the market price."
