STORK DERBY ENTRANT

RECEIVES DEATH THREAT 'SHARE PRIZE MONEY OR—' TORONTO. Aug. 20. The Toronto Star said to-day that Mrs. Grace Eagnafo. a Millar-will entrant,had been threatened with mail and telephone demands to "share the prize-money or never handle any of it herself." The first demand was made in a letter written in Italian and received by her a month ago, the story said. Yesterday, it continued, Mrs. Bagnato received another letter, this time written in English, and from Philadelphia. Shortly afterwards a man called her by telephone. He told her, the Star said, she would win the money, but "would never touch any of if. unless you settle with certain parties." Mrs. Bagnato has nine children eligible under the terms of the, will which left about- £IOO.OOO to the mother giving birth to the most babies in 'Toronto in the 10 years after Charles Vance Millar S death on October 31, 1926.

She expects another baby any day to pnt her in a, tie with Mrs. Arthur Timleek, Mrs. John Nagle and "Mrs. X." who claim 10 babies born in that time. Mrs. Martin Kenny claims leadership with 12 children.
