ITHACA, N Y. May 26.-Judge Marcus Lyon,
as surrogate of Tompkins county, to-day filed q
decision in the famous McGraw-Fiske will case,
decreeing the legacies Of Jennie McGraw Fiske
to Cornell University of 81. 500, 600. for library
purposes, in all respects Valid ratifylng the pay
ments heretofore made, and directing executor
Boardman to pay the balance of Mrs
Fiske's estate to Cornell University
as :. residuary legatee. This celebrated
case has been pending before Judge Lyon
since July 20, 1888 The hearine. necessitated .
determination of the value of all the property Of
the university. and of all the property possessed
by Mrs Fisks at the time of her death, Sept 80.
1881. A vast amount of testimony was taken,
and the case was submitted to Surrogate Lyon
last November, in a series of elaborate
arguments covering questions of fscs
and law, and extending over three con-
secutive weeks The alleged invalidity Of the
legacies to the university was based on the facs
that its charter limited its property holding to
a sum not exceeding SO, 200. 700 Judge Lyon
holds that the property of the University at the
time the legacy was made did not equal 49,
600 in value. because it does not hold title in
fee to the Cornell estate, but merely has the use
of its revenues

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
KoKoslo, May 26-The new Democraticm
wump reform Council on Tuesday night fixed
the salaries of the city officials for the coming
year as follows: Mayor, 1926, cut of $75;
marshal. $40O, cut of 5000; clerk, $500, cut
of $3.50; treasurer, $3.50, cut of $50 These
officers were all Republicans, and are men who
are tried and true; but some of them took an
active part in city politics during the spring
campaign. and this spasmodic reform action is
believed to be only spite work. and well-laid
scheme to even up. No one was clamoring for a
reduction. and the citizens are indignant at the
action of the Council. as, under the old scale of
prices, every official was earning every dollar be
got. The move is looked upon as an open bid
for defalcations and incompetency.
