PLANTATION Of the shutting down OF the

ed that a few weeks ago the Wire trust
notified the National Steel Co. that
hoop mill I'm opposition To the hoop trust.
the American Steel Hoop Co, would be
started at the Cleveland rolling mills,
controlled by the wire trust. The alter
native offered was that National Steel
sell TO the Wire trust 30, 900 tons OF steel
billets at $50 a ton National steel is
closely allied to the hoop trust and TO
save the latter from the threatened COM
petition the billets were given to the wire
trust at the prices named Immediately
the wire trust people telegraphed TO the
Carnegie company saying that IL had
bought $1,000 tons of billets at $50 and
asking IL the Carnegies would duplicate
the sale at the same figure. The Car
negies promptly declined. The Pittsburg
authority declares that the shutting down
OF A. s. and w. mills is really due to-
shortage of raw material instead of over
production and lower prices as Man

CAME UP ON APPEAL.
Account Of Guardian Of Mary J.
va|IottO Considered.


The account OF Henry Hartwell
Jenckes, guardian OF the estate of Mary
j. Vallette. was considered by Judge
Rogers in the appellate division of the
supreme court to-day. This account was
first considered before the probate
court OF the city of Central Falls and
came up on appeal to Judge Rogers
court.
Mr.. Jenckes said today that he had
done considerable business for Miss
Vallette, who lived near him. and when
she grew old her brother thought IL
best TO have a guardian appointed. Mr..
Jenckes said he did not care TO take
the job when n wss urged upon him.
There were number of citizens OF the
baby city present at the hearing, and
this part or Mr.. Jenckes testimony ap-
pareutly put them in good humor.
There is quite long story behind the
account. Miss Vallete at one time lived
in LIMERICK. In the same village lived
Benjamin and Elisha Mowry and they
were well TO do farmers. They made
mutual wills and in each will Nathaniel
s. Mowry was named as executor and
by each Will a. legacy was given to
Mary Nallette. Mr.. Nathaniel Mowry
was trustee OF the funds for Mary Val
lette. There was another trust created
by the Wills In favor OF James s. Phil
lips. The two, Mowry brothers died
within year of each other and not a
great while after their death Nathan
iei. the executor OF their Wills died. Ma
thaniels estate was found TO be insol-
vent and Samuel Clark was appointed
administrator on the estate of the
Mowry brothersqwith the wills annexed.
Clark took all the property and con-
verted II into cash. James $. Phillips
did not like Clark's management so
he brought a bill in equity through
Attorney Claude j. Farnsworth and the
appellate court required Clark 10 file
an account The account showed si0i7
due Mary Nallette and Henry Hartwell
Jenckes was appointed trustee under
the Mowry wills. As before stated Mr..
Jcnckes asks 10 have his account as
guardian on estate OF the Nallette
woman. who died recently. approved.
Among Mr.. Jenckes. charges is one OF
$500 for services. This with quite a
number Of other items i'm the account
r. contested by the appellant. Edward
Conley. IL II claimed Mr.. Jenckcs is
striving 10 secure compensation as
guardian OF Mary Nsllette for services
as trustee under the Mowry property
IL is alleged that though Mr.. Jenckes
was generous IN his own claims for SER
vices ne drove a hard bargSn with
parties who secured the money for his
ward.
