October. On her arrival at Manila, she found her sister in a precarious con dition which was not improved but ended in death in the following Jan uary. Mrs. Sanders was further de- tained in the islands in caring for two small children until her brother in-law could make arrangements for other disposition of them. She noti- fled her attorney of the situation of affairs there, and requested that he cause her deposition to be taken in the damage suit. The deposition was sent and along with it a check or S4S to pay the jury fees in the case and such other expenses as might accrue. All this was before October of this year.
 On October 26 George Sanders flied a petition in probate court in which he alleged the permanent removal of the administratrix from the territory and her neglect to properly admins ter the estate. The petition asked the appointment of Lee H. Landis in her place. The powers of the adninistra- triX were suspended and December was set as the time for hearing of the petition for her removal and the ap- pointment of MT. Landis. In the pro- ceeding George D. Christy, appeared as attorney for the petitioner.
 At the time of the hearing of the petition MT. Jamison stated that Mrs. Sanders would raise no objection to her removal and the appointment of a suitable person in her stead if he would prosecute the damage suit in the dis trict court. MT. Christy gave this as SuTance in behalf of MT. Landis where upon MT. Jamison stated in court that there would be no object on to his ap- pointment and he was again assured by MT. Christy that the case should be prosecuted. MT. Lanuis was appointed.
 Last Friday Judge C. F. Ainsworth, the attorney for the street railway company, presenteA in court a written authority signed by MT. L2ndis and directed to him authorizing the dis missal of the damage suit. The court, however on the objection of MT. Jami- son refused to dismiss the case but continued it for the term in order that steps might be taken as the petition states 'to protect said estate against the fraud and deceit of the said George D. Christy,, George F. Sanders and Lee H. Landis and others colluding with them In Il conspiracy to defraud said estate in the action now pending in the district court aforesaid, all of which misconduct of the sad Lee H. Landis, administrator aforesaid, and his efforts to have said case dismissed was without the knowledge and consent of your petitioner and without any mo- tice whatever to the attorney of rec ord. the said J. M. Jamison."
 The petition continues that on De cember 16, Lee H. Landis stated that prior to the appointment as such ad- ministrator it was understood and agreed to by him that in case he was appointed he would dismiss the said case and that he was so advised by the said George D. Christy and that said George D. Christy knew before he gave said written authority to said Aims worth aforesaid, that he would do it and that he did so on the advice and direction of the said George D. Chris ty who then and there falsely, fraud ulently and deceitflIlly assumed 10 rep resent the interest of said estate as its attorney in the manner aforesaid
 The petition then proceeds to relate the following circumstance: After the application for the removal of Mrs. Sanders and for the appointment Of MT. Landls, George Sanders applied to the Home Savings bank for a loan of 500 offering a note bearing his own signature backed by that of MT. Lan- dis and got the money.
 Then follows the general allegation of fraud in which all the synonyms os fraud are employed, the object being to defeat the recovery of damages il the suit now pending in district court It is also alleged that MT. Landis since the procee edings of December 15, has stated that he would not reconsider his determination to dismiss the case. It is therefore prayed that his powers be suspended and that after a hearing his appointment be revoked. An or der of suspension was issued by Pro bate Judge Phillips.
