Preston 3. Plumb,s Estate.

WASHINGTON, D. c., January 29.-Some of
Senator Plumb's investments were originally
made more out of friendship for other par
ties in interest than from conviction of profit
to himself; depending for the profit upon
the management of others. This leaves
numerous matters, in which he had taken
stock in unsettled condition; some of the
operations he thus gave a helping hand to
now being in critical financial straits. This
condition has developed the necessity for
creditors of the companies he wanted to help,
and did help as herein indicated, to com
mence suits, IN which Mrs. Plumb, as execu-
trix is made defendant.
In these suits, which are brought in the
courts of the District of Columbia, an iniunc-
ton Is asked to prevent disposal of the assets
of the senator's estate; and order of court is
asked to compel the eKecutrix to make an
accounting Of all property held by the estate.
One suit demands the appointment of re-
ceiTer.
It Is hoped, sincerely, by all, that these
matters may not prove disastrous to the in
terests of Senator Plumb's legatees.
