£20,000 LEFT TO FATHEK. Harry Fragson, the comedian, who was fatally shot by his father, has left about £BO,OOO and an insurance policy on his life, in favor of his father, for £20,000 (stated the Paris correspondent of 'The Daily Mail' on January 2).

For several years past his income is believed to have averaged £12,000 a year. He is not known to have any relations, and it has been suggested "that since his father is precluded from the succession by his crime the estate may lapse to the French Government.

The funeral will take placa to-mor-row, but it has not been decided at which cemetery. The service will be held at the Church of Notre Dame de Lorette at 2.30 p.m. A characteristic story of Fragson was told me to-day by the flcrist from whom he used to buy flowers. One day the florist's little boy playing in :» courtyard caught sight of Fragson and be>?an to sing one of his best known French songs, "En avant, les petits gars." At once Fragson darted out and, taking his place by the youngster's side, with one of his comical grimaces joined him in a series of duets, to the boy's infinite delight and to the amusement of the crowd which quickly gathered at the entrance to tho* eourtjard.
