The early market today was a waiting

rather than downward. London was pur-

advanced prices. Louisville especially

THE PROBATE COURT
Necessity for Judge to Hold It More
frequently.
Representation of Trust Companies
Considering the Subiect-A Talk
With a Trust Officer.

Representatives of the leading trust COM
panies in the District had a meeting recent
ly to consider the advisability of taking
steps 10 secure an Improvement in the
methods now governing the Probate Court
These corporations which act as executors
of estates. and whose business in this di
rection is rapidly increasing. are unit in
the opinion that some radical change should
be made in the system now in vogue. All
the representatives at the meeting were
emphatic in favor of securing more fire.
quent holding of the court, which now is
held but once a week. 1t was stated dur
ing the conference that the delay in set
Ting probate matters under the present
conditions was not only vexatous, but ex-
pensive. There being no regular judge the
duty of holding Probate Court devolved
first upon one and then on the other of the
associate justices of the Supreme Court of
the District, and in case such a justice had
unfinished business in another court on
Probate Court day, the persons having BUSH
ness before the latter court were compelled
to wait until it was completed.
Against Abolishing Register's Office.
The conference decided that the best way
in which these conditions could be relieved
would be by the assignment of one of the
justices to probate business exclusively dur
ing a time and have court held every day.
The representatives of the trust compa
MES present also considered the proposed
section in the new code prepared by JUS
tice Cox which provides for abolshng the
office of register of wills as unwise and dis
approved it.
Another meeting will be held shortly and
plan of action outlined which will be fol-
lowed.
A Trust Omcer's Views.
In conversing on the subject with the
trust officer of one of the largest compa
MES doing business here this morning a
Star reporter was informed of the forego-
ing facts. Il am now on my way to the
Probate Court, and the business l have on
hand could probably be completed in half
an hour. but owing to the fact that court
is held 50 infrequently and so many are
there with business on hand l shall prob
ably be kept there Ealf a day.
There should certainly be a probate
judge in our judicial system because the
various contests and the importance of
such litigation demand the attention of
some one judge who will not be bothered
with considering other subjects. Under the
present system a judge is liable to sit
rally, patent and lunacy causes all the same
day.
The proposition to abolish the office of
register of wills is. l believe, unwise. If
the duties now performed by the register
We're transferred to the clerk of the court
they would by him be placed in charge of a
deputy clerk, and the care and attention
now given to the business be, j believe, i'm
possible

Killed by the Grew.

Norfolk, Va.-Capt. Evans, of the
oyster schooner "Graham," of Girls
field, Maryland, was murdered yes
terday in the harbor by eight negroes
composing the crew of the vessel,
who mutinied and killed him, and
then deserted:
Evans had trouble with the crew
Wednesday, after he had advanced
them portion of their wages.
Another member of the crew had
been sent ashore to make purchases
and when he returned saw Captain
Evans lying on the deck, his head
crushed, his pockets rified and the
eight mutinous members gone. Ev-
ans had considerable money on his
person.
