“Rumor says that if Mr

The following in the Liberal govern-

“A Liberal caucus was hdld this

morning with P. H. MacKenzie of Bruce in the chair. There was a long di‘scussion over the political situa- tion and the outlook.

With Regard to the Hindoo Immigrant Question in Canada.

LONDON,M-arch 28-The poor acous-

tic properties of the House of Coin- mons are responsible for the univer- sal misapprehension regarding the lstatement made yesterday by John Morley, secretary of State for India in the matter of the didiculty re-. garding Hindu immigration into Brit- ish Columbia. The secretary docs nut contemplate sending an envoyto Canada, as was mistakenly reported yesterday, but he is busily engaged with Mackenzie King, the envoy de- puted to Great Britain by the Do- minion government ln-the hope of bringing to an end if possible, "this extremely difficult, intricate andl pos- sibly dangerous situation."

Heir Means $3,000,000 to Family--The More Heirs

the More Monev. _ '

I *_ .

CHICAGO, March 28-An event ol

great importance to the family of the

late Otto Young occurrep last Sua- day night in the birth o a boy to Samuel K. and Mrs. Martin. The boy is the ninth grandchild to share the millions left by the merchant. Until the birth of this, their first child, the Martins, under the terms of the will, had no claim upon the fortune beyond Mrs. Martin's lif interest in its income. Now the

worth at least $3,000,000. It is the first young grandchild to be born lnto its own rights since the death of Mr. Young.

The importance of the event to t

four branches of the family arises from the peculiar provisions of Mr. Young's will.

In his testament Mr. Young direct- ed that his widow and four daughters be given practically the entire in- come from the estate but the princi- ipal itself, amounting at the time of his death to $25,000,000 he left to be divided equally among his grand- children. The family with the most children thereby will receive the most money and the one with none living at the time of the distribution will not share. The birth of the Martin baby had the effect of disarranging the calculations in the families of the other three daughters. The pro- spective share of the family of Mrs. Marie Julia Young Knrlilman of Marquette, Mich., who is in the lead with five children was decreased by the event from five-sights to ilve- nlnths of the estate-a loss approxi- mately of $1,875,000. The future share of the family of ' Mrs. Cecile Young Heyworth, with two children declined from 25 to 22 per cent. While that of Mrs. Catherine Otillie Young Hobart, one child fell off some $876,-

000.
