LAND SYNDICATE CASE
TEMPORARY ORDER ISSUED BY
JUSTICE GOULD.
Company's Property to Be Admin
istered by Court Until Final
Decision is Reached.

Justice Gould, in Equity Court No. 1, to-
day after listening to closing argument
on the part of Mr.. Charles H. Merillat, at
torney for DR.. Richardson and other share
holders in the HenseyHooker LIE Droit
Park land syndicate. announced his decl-
sion on the motion for an injunction and
the appointment Of a receiver. In effect the
court stated he would direct that hereafter.
until the close of the litigation and final
decision Of the case on the merits, the
property should be administered under the
direction Of the court. At the same time
he directed that meanwhile a complete
statement Of account shall be made up by
the auditor.
The court said he would leave the prop
erty, while the litigation is pending, In the
hands OF the trustees, but he enjoined them
from making disposition of the trust prop
erty, except on application to and approval
Of the court
In announcing his opinion the Judge said
that 1t would not be proper for him at this
time to announce any opinion or to reach
any conclusion on the merits of the con-
troversy, or express his opinion with re-
spect to the inception of the syndicate, as
the matter will probably come before him
as chancellor after final hearing. He
thought he could properly say. however that
there had been some things with respect to
which the trustees had not acted as they
should. and added:
Regarded as Improper.
There has been q reluctance or indispo-
sition to give free access to accounts that
is entirely improper 1t is their duty to ex-
tend every facility and to encourage in
vestigation into accounts. Ny opinion. how
ever, as to what should do Is not based
upon the conduct of the trustees, but SOLE
ly upon what is best to be done with the
large property in order to let the people
whose money is invested out. even II that
be possible
Il do not believe a receiver could handle
the property in any way that would be
commensurate with the increased expense
of his appointment, and shall not appoint
q receiver, but do think enough has been
shown to do what Is tantamount to that
which Is to require the trustees to admin
lister the trust under the direction Of the
court, and will enjoin them from dispos-
ing of tho property except by the order Of
the court.
The Irremovable Assets.
There Is a large amount of real estate
besides eleven houses. an irremovable
asset which meanwhile cannot be affected.
The trustees may administer the property
under the order Of the court.
1.-The accounts should be submitted either
to a special auditor or to the auditor of the
court to take an account meanwhile of the
affairs of the syndicate. and before whom
all the books and vouchers shall be pro-
duced."
The court directed counsel to draw up
an order in accordance with these sugges-
lions, adding that he was Influenced in
his view solely by the consideration that
presented itself to his mind as to what
was best to do with this valuable property
while 1t Ia in litigation.

THE NOTARIAL FEES
INFERENCE DRAWN FROM AN
OPINION RENDERED.
Assistant Attorney General Decided
Only as to Notary's Right
to Practice.

The assistant attorney for the Depart
ment of the Interior has not been called
upon for an opinion as to the right OF the
notaries public of the District Of Columbia
to charge fees for their services in execut-
ing pension vouchers! The opinion he has
rendered is in a case as TO the right of a
notary public to practice before the depart
ment, In that case he decided that the
notary public was an officer of the United
States and consequently could not be al
lowed to practice before the department.
In view Of the fact that there Is a stat
ute providing that officials of the United
States who are notaries PUBLIC shall not
charge fees for their services. the inference
has been drawn by some of the notaries
here that they cannot charge fees for their
services But no such opinion has been
rendered by any of the assistant attorneys

to whom subj a question would be referred
IL it is to be the subject for action by the
department. In the absence of such an
opinion the notaries will have to be guided
by their own Interpretation of the law.
Attorney Jennings View.
Attorney Frederick A. Fenning Of the To-
cal bar. who was formerly assistant chief
clerk of the United States pension agency
in this city, was interviewed by Star
reporter this morning with reference to
tho question Of whether notaries public
would be permitted to charge for the exc
cution of pension vouchers. and in answer
to the question Mr.. Fenning said:
1.-The question Is an old one. and was
threshed over several years ago. In the
first place. the recent decision Of Judge
Campbell that notaries are officers holding
positions of trust profit under the gov
eminent is simply an affirmation Of former
decisions of the same tenor by the same
department. and. by the way, the Interior
Department seems to be the only one of
the executive departments to be governed
by such a decision, for notaries are not

charging pensioners as high as 81 for the
execution of vouchers.
Governed by Attorney Generals Orders
Colonel Wilson was called upon by
many pensioners and by many notaries for
his opinion, and he took the position that
as the notaries were connected with the De-
partment OF Justice, by appointment, they
were amenable to the orders Of the Attor-
ney General, and in the absence of an opin-
ion from that official unfavorable to the
charging of fees 1t was reasonable that
both notaries ard pensioners should pro-

though the Attorney Generals attention
was called to the matter, he did not make a
decision.
II have noticed a statement that the pen

Judge Campbelrs decision and suggested
their obedience thereto If that is SO 1t
seems to me to be outside Of the general
question whether or not the act Of March

reason that the head of an Office certainly
has right to prohibit any employee from
engaging in any additional employment
