CHANCELLOR AGAIN
HEARS CHANDLER CASE
At Conclusion of the Argu-
ment in Dover Decision
Was Reserved
speeIal % The EvenIng JournaI.

Dover, May 2S.-Twowilmington
lawyers argued before Chancellor
Nicholson until late yesterday after
noon over the contention between DR..
Swithin Chandler. formerly of Will
mington but now practicing in Phila-
delphia, and his wife, Elizabeth Sar-
gent Chandler. The ownership of the
dwelling, No. 1000 Jackson street, VIII
mington, which is in the wife's name,
is the issue.
At the conclusion of the argument
the Chancellor reserved his decision,
and it will be announced at some later
time. Meanwhile, under an order of
the court, all the rentals from the
property are being deposited with the
Security Trust and Safe Deposit Com
pany.
number OF steps had previously
been taken in the case. and recently all
the testimony was taken by Thomas
Davis as master in chancery. Charles
NJ. Curtis represented Mrs. Chandler
and City Solicitor Robert G. Harman
appeared for DR.. Chandler.
There appears to be a remarkable
conflict Of facts in the case, which be-
Icame of public interest when it was
announced that Mrs. Chandler had left
her home to sing in the Schumann-
Heink Opera Company i'm Loves Lot
teryr She contends that her husband
gave her the property outright freed
it of debt and gave her the rentals, out
Of natural love and affection" DR..
Chandler meets this with the counter
claim that the property was only turn
ed over to her pending the inheritance
OF home property by her from an aunt.

OPINION ON THE
QQIGLEY BILL
H. H. Ward Says Charges
Made by Clerk of Peace
Are Legal

At the melting of the Levy Court to-
day Clerk of the Peace Winfield S.
Quigley read the opinion of his Counsel
II. III. Ward, as to the legality OF the
charges made by him in his recent
quarterly bin submitted to the court.
Comparoller Chandler refused to APP
prove the bill on the ground that at was
excessive and that some Of the charges
were not legal. The courts attorney.
Horace G. Knowles rendered am opinion
last week practically 10 the same effect.
Mr. Ward in his opinion contends that
the charges made by the Clerk OF the
Peace are perfectly legal. 1t Is also
the belief Of Mr.. Wand that the Superior
Court would have no jurisdition to pass
upon the amount of such a bill.
After the opinion had been read, Com
missioner Scott remarked that Mr.
Wards opinion was In conflict with that
of Mr.. Knowles. He thought the mat
ter should be taken to the Superior
Court for a decision.
Mr.. Brown stated that he thought the
Levy Court would have to take some
final action, either approving the bill as
originally submitted or after being cut
by the Comptroller, before taking 1t e
the upper tribunal.
Mr.. Quigley suggested that Mr.
Knowles and Mr.. Ward get together
and agree on a case stated.
Mr.. McFarlin said: "Our attorney
seems to be a hard man TO get to q,
anything in this case and I suggest tina.
we get another lawyer"
Mr. Scott remarked: 'If you let ~
name a man we viii get it before tn,
count" He then moved that John II
Rodney be appointed the courts counse
to prepare case stated with Mr. Ward
The motion was carried by a vote o.
to 3. Mr.. McFariin voting with thl
lthree Democrats.
