COTHAMITE WEDS SOCIETY MAIDFAR
FAIR CONTEST
IS RECALLED
W. W. FOote Estate Sued on
Contract Based on Agree
nent With Mrs. Craven
SMALL SUM rs INVOLVED
Though Judgment for but
Sl050 Is Asked, Interesting
Facts Tnderlie the Action

Time has not yet dispelled the mem
ory of the broken hopes, to say MOTH
ing of the broken contracts, that CEN
tered in the battle Mrs. Nettie r. Cra-
ven waged for years against the es.
tate of the late James G.. Fair. An
other suit that will necessitate the tell
ing of some as yet untold details Of
that celebrated legal contest was filed
yesterday in the Superior Court.
Thomas B. Pheby Jr., as assignee OF
his father, appears as plaintiff. and
Thomas D. Carneal, executor of the
will of the late w. w. Foote, is the
defendant. The purpose of the suit is
to recover $1050 with interest on an as
signment by Foote of % per cent of
contract by which he was to be paid
10 per cent of all property he might re-
cover from the estate of James G. Fair
for Mrs. Craven, whether in action
brought in her interest as the widow
of the late millionaire, or otherwise.
The plaintiff says that on May 20.
1899, Fo0te got from Mrs. Craven a
contract by which he was to be paid
the 10 per cent referred to. On the
same day. it is alleged Foote sold to
Thomas B. Pheby Sr., father of the
plaintiff, a fourth interest in the con-
tract for the sum Of $500, OF which
$1,000 was paid down and $500 subse
quently.
On May 1, 1902, it is alleged. Foote
released Mrs. Craven from the con-
tract upon the payment to him of $500,
this release being without the knowl-
edge of Thomas B. Pheby Sr. In June
of 1902, it is set forth, Mrs. Craven
compromised with the heirs of the late
James G. Fair for $50, 900. subsequently,
on December %. 1903.> it is said Foote
paid to Thomas B. Pheby ST.. on ac-
count of his contract, 5000, but said
nothing of the release.
The plaintiff sets forth that under
his contract, which he released with
out right, Foote was entitled to 10 per
cent of the entire sum recovered by
Mrs. Craven or $4,000 Pheby under the
terms of his agreement with Foote, was
entitled, it is claimed, to $3.50, or one
fourth of $4,000. AS only 5000 was paid
on this contract the plaintiff holds that
$1050 is still due and unpaid, and he
asks that judgment for that amount
with interest be given him against the
estate of the late w. W. Foote.

question Of duplication of work by the

government at Washington.
While these advances have been
gratifying to Mr.. Hitchcock's friends
and doubtless To himself. they have en-
tailed severe extra work. When he
left the department of Agriculture to
become chief clerk of the Department
OF Commerce and Labor he still had
several uncompleted publications of
the former Department which occupied
all his spare evenings for months Up
on Secretary COrtelyou's resignation
from the Department of Commerce and

LARGE CROPS AND CHEAPER
RATES.

The farmers of the Northwest are
jubilant not only over their large crops
but the reduction of the Transports
ton charges. The reduction OF grain
rates. according TO st. Paul dispatch,
ranges from five cents hundred
pounds from the most distant points.
to a half cent from points nearest st.
Paul and the head of navigation on the
Great Lakes. These rates are going
into operation over two trans-conti-
mental railroads. and II is said they Will
be met by all other roads doing bust
ness in the same territory and tribu-
tary TO it. With the large North
western wheat crop of two hundred or
so million bushels, the aggregate OF
this I'm favor of the farmers reduction
is a large one. There can be no in
crease of rates made elsewhere, II Is
stated. to even the receipts up in the
interests of the railroads. The reduc-
tion is looked upon as one OF the evo-
lutions in transportation.

To Cast the largest Bell in
The World.

At recent meeting OF the Executive
Committee of the Grand Army OF the
Republic plan was presented by Col.
Frank Hume, an officer who served
with distinction In the army of the
Confederacy, which. IL carried out, will
mean that the largest bell ever cast
will De hung In the Arlington Gene
terry, the former home OF Robert Il.
Lee. overlooking Washington and the
wide sweep of the Potomac River, and
where are also buried some of the Con-
federate dead. II Is Col. Hume's idea
that this bell should be tolled during
the funeral rites OF the military heroes
of the country when they are buried
within these historic grounds.
Mr.. Hume unfolded his plan 10 the
Grand Army veterans, his purpose be-
ing to have the bell cast from a large
number of obsolete cannon now stored
at the Government arsenal at Water
vliet and other points. The president
OF one OF the largest bell foundries in
the country. who was communicated
with, stated that the idea was a feas-
ible one. but that the cost Of the under
taking would be large. The belief is
that the funds, however great they
may be. win be raised, not only
through contributions by the G. A. r.
vsterana but BY those who wore the
gray.
