Estate division hopes clash with Gilman heirs
New York March 14. Despite claims of a settlement in the Gilman estate matter, New York lawyers insist no compromise exists and the case will go to court. Reported plan included division of real estate under New York law, personal estate under Connecticut law, concessions for half blood heirs, and a merged company of 26 tea businesses with stock shared among claimants. Three Brooklyn women heirs of Winthrop Gilman reportedly have not agreed, risking amicable settlement. Frank Gilman supports settlement without litigation. A separate Washington dispatch notes Turkish arrests of brigands in Asiatic Turkey and seizures of Mauser rifles, with officials saying arms import laws are strict and Armenian operations may explain Mauser presence in interior towns.

To Keep True Lent by Robert Herrick
The poem argues that true Lent is not a mere meat abstinence but a life of charity. It critiques fasting from flesh while indulging in conflict and pride. True Lent is about sharing grain with the hungry and starving strife and hate from within.
