RIGHTS OF SURETY COMPANIES.
Lawyer Bradley Wants the Probate
Court to Define Them.

Attorney Andrew Y. Bradley yesterday
filed petition in the office OF register of
wills in which the probate court is called
upon to define the right of surety COM
pany on an administrators or executors
bond, to demand joint control of the assets.
The question involved is whether or not
an administrator can surrogate his duties
to the control of a surety company which
mas gone his bond. In many cases the busi-
ness of going bond for guardians and other
trust officers is largely controlled by
security and trust associations.
Sometime ago Mr.. Bradley was appointed
administrator of the estate of jeremiah
Sullivan and he furnished bond through
the Lawyers Surrey Company of New York.
He now asks the c9IrS to cancel the security
offered and give him leave to furnish
another bond. The Lawyers Company
is represented in this city by the American
Security and Trust Company. When Mr..
Bradley received his appointment he con-
suited the local company 10 get bond. Mr..
H $ Reeside, assistant treasurer of the
American Security and Trust Company, in
formed Mr. Bradley about She lawyers con-
cern, and on the payment OF $40 the latter
association furnished the necessary Sc
curity.
Al that time no other consideration was
mentioned He received the bond several
days later and was requested to sign a
paper purporting 10 be an agreement in
winch the Lawyers Company wouldhave a
Joint control OF the estate. Mr. Bradley
demnrred TO this, on the ground that TO
sign such a contract would be a violation
of his duty rs administrator and make him
liable TO removal. Mr.. Reeside claimed that
the security company would require all
checks against the estate to be counter
signed by a representative of their concern

THE EPEOPLE'S FORUM
HE FEARS FOR MIR. GAGE.
The New Secretary of the Treasury
Takes Himself Too Seriously.

To the Editor of The Times:
II is becoming more evident every day
that L yman Gage is TO be the funny man.
the j. Sterling Morton of the Mckinley
regime. Already it has been brought To
light that tbs handsome exterior is some
what simulated, inasmuch IS he wears a
wig; that he wrote "A letter To Gov. Altgeld
recomme nding the pardon OF the anar-
chists; and that he>has been a single-taXer
OF the Henry George school; and it will tie
proven finally, despite his denials, that
he has been posing as a Democrat OF the
mugwump variety in Illinois since 1884;
that even as late as 1892 he audited tie
accounts of the Democratic national COM
Inittee. And no matter how much the
country may laugh athis vagares, Gagewill
always regard himself seriously. 1t was
not so very long ago that he wrote a letter
to the author of Coins Financial School"
lin which that gentleman attempted TO
answer the facts and arguments in Coins
Financial School and failed; in which Mr..
Gage went on seriously to disavow having
been present at Coins Financial School"
in Chicago. The funny part of this letter
lies in the fact that there probably was not
a schoolboy in the nation who did not know
lUdt MI bdSc was uot tsttU dJ tiltJ
school-in fact, that there was no school.
The country will be very much diSap-
pointed if Mr.. Gage does not develop into
a bumptuous, egotistic, self-complaisant
and incorrighle official freak of the Nor
ton variety, long before Mr.. McKinley's
term of office shall have expired, for it is
safe to say that there is not a fad, or an
ism, or a reform, or party policy OF any
description, or a financial scheme of any
variety, that he has not at some time ad-
vocated within the last fifteen years. His
opinions upon any and all subjects are OF
the lightning change variety, and it will
be impossible for Mr.. Mckinley to suggest
any view upon any question which Mr..
Gage will not be found ready to advocate;
that he will always, at all times and under
all circumstances. be bankers Secre-

FAGUE HAD MONEY TROUBLE
His Suicide Attributed to Them by
His Friends.
He Told One of Them He Would
Take His Life Unless He
Could Get Funds.

No definite arrangements have yet been
made for the funeral of Gilman NJ. Fague,
who committed suicide yesterday morn
ing, at his home, No. 213S X street north
west, by shooting himself through tie
brain, as told in The Evening Times. Mr..
Fague was a prominent Mason and a
member of large number OF benevolent
organizations, but considering the tragic
circumstances OF his death, the family will
doubtless decide that the funeral and IN
terment shall be private
No time has been finally set for the
services, but they Will probably occur at
O'Clock, on Friday, from his late home
Mr.. Fague was brother in B. b. French
Lodge, and if it is, after ALL thought hest
to have public funeral an d Masonic burial,
that body will officiate.
1t now appears quite clear that Mr..
Fague ended his life because of financial
difficulties. An examination yesterday of
the books of Robertson, Blackford, & Fague,
of which firm the suicide was a lunior
member, failed il is said, to reveal any
discrepancy in the accounts, which might
have caused him to make away with
himself. His business affairs are said
theless, sorely pressed for funds. He had
always been used to living high, dress
ing well, and moving in circles which re-
quired the expenditure OF considerable
money. He was always known as a jolly,
good fellow, and was one OF the best
known clubmen in Washin gton. or late
numerous reverses compelled him to with
draw from a number of his clubs, and TO
curtail his expenses and social functions
This was a great humiliation to man OF
his character and standing, and coupled
with this, it is said, a number Of his
creditors, to whom he owed small bills,
had been pressing him of late, and his
inability to meet their demands worried
him.
A friend OF the family stated to The
Times last night that Mr. Fague had made
several fruitless attempts to borrow 500
ON Monday, and to, at least, one person,
said that IL he was unable to procure 1t
before night, he would kill himself This
was taken, however, as a joke, as he did
not seem particularly depressed Mr.
Fague carried a good-siZed life insurance
policy, which will accrue to his wife, but
| the extent is not known.
