DECIDED THE APPEAL.
Loan and Trust Go Out and an Heir
 Will Be Executor


 The supreme court yesterday after noon decided the appeal of the Far mer's Loan and Trust company of New York against Frances J. smith, widow of the late Edward Smith, of the Smith & Griggs factory in Simons- vile. The point in issue was the ex- ecutorship of the will of Mir Smith. MT Smith left two wills. In the first he selected his widow as his executor. In the second he revoked the first will and appointed the Loan and Trust company executor. Attheprobateh hear ing the contention was raised that the Loan company being. an alien in the state could not fulfill the trust of ex- ecutor The court sustained the ob- jection and appointed Mrs Smith exec utor. The Loan company took the matter to the superior court on an ap- peal and it was sustained. Then the heirs by the will took the case to the supreme court, which court turned down the opinion of the superior court, thus sustaining the decision of Judge Lowe in the probate court.
 While the executorship, as has been said, was the ostensible point in con tention, the real one was to control policy on the life of Mir Smith for S7o,0OO. Since the matter went to the supreme court the widow has died and now new complexion has been given to the case. However, the main point, the executorship, has been set tied, the decision leaving that office within the family.

M'REE SAYS DEMOCRATS
NOW FEEL JUBILAAT

A Washington correspondent inter
viewed Chares w. McFee, who
is candidate for the Democratic con-
gressional nomination in Delaware, as
Mr. McFee passed through Washing
ton, from Hot Springs, Va, yesterday.
Mr.. McFee is quoted as follows:
"The nomination of Mr.. Byrne by
the Union Republican party simplifies
matters very much in Delaware. Mr..
Byrne has been wobbling between the
Regulars and Unions so long that his
stand means the election of a Demo
cratic congressman from the State.
Even If DIR. Ball, who has made a most
creditable representative, had been en-
dorsed by the Unions. he could not
hope TO be reelected. because the
Democratic party of Delaware is SC
united in this campaign and realizes SC
fully that the eyes Of the Nation are
again on the State, that it proposes to
decide once for all that the manhood
OF Delaware can prevail over Addicks
and 81 the barrels he is able to pro-
duce."

form a comprehensive long distance

Unless the coming winter proves un-
usually severe. all the lines can be con
nected and put in direct communication
with Wilmington a comparatively
early date. This combination can ef.
feet telephone subscribers in but one

than what is now charged. There will
be no change in the cost of the home

being OF the Opinion that there is moi
excessive profit in unlimited local tele
