needed. Mr., James Pennell, who has
been elected president. of the Westbrook
Trust Company, has been connected with
the company since since its organization
and for a long time was leading bus1-

OBITUARY..
Mrs. Darius White.

Mrs. Mary Y White died of apoplexy
Yesterday, at her home, No SO Congress
street. in this city. Mrs. White was the
widow of Darius White who was highly
esteemed and successful merchant in
Portland for over fifty years and who
died in 1885. She was the daugher of
John Staples, whose family was of the
Oldest Puritan stock, and was born at
Turner, May 4th 1916. Last April she
was seriously..ill of pneumonia, and while
she recovered from that disease, she never
regained her strength but has been con-
fined to her room over since.
Mrs White was we'll known in Portland
which for fifty-nine years has been her
home. She was a woman of the highest
Christian character and most proni-
nent and useful member of the Free
Street Baptist church. Her broad, sweet,
kindly nature5made her loved by all who
knew her. and in spite of her eighty years
she inspired and retained the affection of
a very wide circle of friends. young and
old, to whom her loss will be great ,,per-
sonal grief. Two of her children survive
her, John S. White ESQ.,, of this city. and
Mrs. Mary Viola Hayward of Somerville,
Mass.
The funeral services will be at her late
residence, $50 Congress street, Friday
afternoon, at 2 O'Clock.

THE MOSES ESTATE.
Important Litigation Begun Before Judge
Hall of Bath.

A despatch rom Bath states that on
Monday there began what promises to
be an interesting case, before Hon. Will
liam 7. Hall, judge of the probate court
The hearing is the result of the attempt
of one of the heirs of the great Oliver
Moses estate of Bath to secure an account
ing and settlement, and the filing of a
petition for the removal of the executors,
Galen G. Moses of Bath and Benjamin +.
Harris of Portland.
Oliver Moses was one of the magnates
of that part of Maine, and died Feb. II,
1882, leaving an estate estimated at $3.50, :
OOO This estate was left in trust of Galen
C. Moses, Frank o. Moses and Benjamin
+. Harris, sons and sons-in-law of the
trustees, and by the provisions of this
will the estate was not to be divided until
one of the five children Eof Oliver Moses
should die, when one-fifth of the estate
should be turned over to the heirs OF that
child.
The executors up to this year had never
filed an inventory, and as trustees had
never qualified. But upon the death of the
testator in 1882 the children got together,
and, regardless of the provisions of the
will, did, as is admitted, divide 1914, 1862.
By the death of Frank 0. Moses in
March last it became imperative. accord
ing to the will, to divide his fifth of the
estate forthwith, but it has not been DONE
and hence his son, Orville B. Moses,
grandson of the testator of Boston, having
assigned his share of the estate to Charles
W. Moses of New York, has brought this
action, holding the executors responsible
for the $64, 600 which they used contrary
to the provisions of the will.
1t is also held that the inventory of the
estate which has been submitted since
the beginning of these proceedings show
ing but $419. 1916, will bear critical ex-
animation, and A. N. Williams OF Boston
is engaged in this work.
The estate was one of much variety or
interest, and the failure of the executors
to ever render a final account, and the
action of the trustees in exercising powers
for which they had never qualified, is one
of the grounds of complaint by the heir
who has brought his action. The high
position of the chief executor and the
serious nature of some of the allegations
promise to make the further hearing,
which is set for the 9th of this month,
very interesting. That the will was
violated by the agreement of the children
is admitted, but that any wrong was in
tended is denied.
In an interview, Galen G. Moses, who
has had the chief management Of the
estate, emphatically denied that there
had been any embezzlement, and referred
TO the affair as family matter. When
the time comes, he declares, he will
account for all the funds.

POST OFFICE THIEF
The Inspectors Arrest Joe Crandon of
Columbia Falls.

The Bangor Commercial of Tuesday
said that Columbia Falls, Washington
County, is much excited over the arrest
of Joseph B. Crandon, son of the village
postmaster, for plundering the mails.
Crandon is about eighteen years old,
about six feet tall, and quite q
local ball tosser. inspectors
White and Stone of the post office
department. arrested him, and took
him to Ellsworth ljail on Monday, and
Tuesday he was arraigned before U. S.
Commissioner Dutton and held IN ii, 0OC
for trial at the session of the Circuit
Court to be held in Portland next week.
AS the time for his trial is so near at
hand Crandon declined bonds and stays
in Jail at Ellsworth 1t appears that Tor a
year past letters sent from Jonesport,
Indian River and other towns containing
money and directed to Boston business
houses have not reached their destination.
The detectives knew that letters re-
ceived by big Boston houses usually con-
tanned checks and therefore post Offices
clerks in Boston would know better than
to take them, but down in the small
Maine country towns it was known by
the postal clerks there that the letters
sent to these Boston houses from that
vicinity, contained money.
The inspectors after working
around the circle of towns in that vicinity
located the thefts in the neighborhood OF
Columbia Falls. took board as tourists at
a farmhouse and watched the habits of
the various postal employees. They found
that Crandon had the best opportunity
for thieving He slept in the post office
in order to receive the mails from Machias
and Jonesport which arrived at Columbia
Falls about a. M. and remained three
until morning. He never had any COM
panions with him at night, ard after re,
ceiving this mail there was nothing at all
to prevent his overhauling it if he SO de-
sired. He was also spending good deal
of money. So the inspectors played the
letter test on him. They addressed these
letters containing money to the Columbia
Falls office and the letters never came
out. Then they arrested Crandon and he
made full confession.

Couldn't Get Married.

There is evidently a good joke on
some persons at the quarantine
station where the Kauai people are
waiting for their period of quaran-
tine to expire. Tuesday night
some one telephoned to the Board
of Health office that there was
some one out there who wished to
get married. His name could not
be divulged. Nothing was said
about the young lady. The party
who telephoned asked if a permit
could not be granted a priest in
der that he might 60 out to the
sta ION TO perform the ceremony.
Thee seemed to be great disap-
pointment when the fact that no
such permits could be issued was
communicated.
