SMITH W|SEST Of
MRS. FAIR HEIRS
Brother Frank of Topeka
Holds Out for a Seventh
Of Estate and Gets 1t
PAID SUM OF 100000

NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-After litiga-
tion embracing many legal intricacies
the final chapter in the settlement of
the estate OF Mr.. and Mrs Charles L.
Fair, who met a tragic death while
automobiling in France nearly four
years ago, has been closed by the
payment of 100000 to Frank Smith
of Topeka, Kan, a brother of Mrs. Fair,
who had not received his share
Smith is the guest of Fred A Nelson
of Boundbrook, N J. He receives
nearly twenty-five times as much as
the other six heirs, who were Mayor
Bill Smith, formerly of Newmarket,
N J.. now of Caldwell: Mrs ]. H Bon-
nell, also of Caldwell; Abraham Nell
son of Newmarket; the late Mrs. A.
Nelson of Newmarket, mother of Mrs.
Fair; the estate of Mrs. Loffier of Union
and Charles Smith of Denver.
The stories Of the amounts the other
heirs received were exaggerated. The
exact sum each received was $4,000,
$4,000 on the first payment and $4,000
on the final.
At first the executors Of the estate
were unable to locate Frank Smith,
but after the other relatives had set
tied he appeared in Topeka, where he
was engaged as a purchasing agent
for a large hospital and infirmary.
Acting on the advice of an attorney of
that city he refused to accept the same
amount paid to the other relatives and
held out for one-seventh of the estate,
which he has succeeded in getting.
The other heirs think of trying to re-
open the matter in an effort to get
larger share.

OCCUPATIONS. April
CASE OF TRACKwoRKERs

Case number four. that of the track
men, was opened by the Introduction
of articles in The Call on November IL
and II, with illustrations, showing the
manner in (which the track work had
been delayed, leaving five miles of
streets torn up at one time Counsel
stated that the reason for this was the
unwillingness of the company to hire
sufficient number of competent men
at fair wage Some discussion over
this testimony called from Johnson the
statement that he would produce other
evidence later which the company
would also regard as remarkable. He
said
In the case of the carmen we shall
bring out evidence which you may lit
tie anticipate at the present time
When questioned later as to the ma
ture of this evidence he refused to ex-
plain what he had said.
Testimony was introduced to show
that the Spring Valley and the San
Francisco Coke and Gas Company paid
their common laborers $3.50 and did
not require them to work more than
eight hours. These are the conditions
which the trackmen in the employ of
the United Railroads wish. 1t was also
shown that the municipality pays the
workmen it hires the same wages for
the same number of hours of work.
In the afternoon HI. Hartwell, the
chief engineer of the company, was
called and questioned as to the work
of reconstruction being done He said
that there were fifty miles of track still
to be relaid- The fact was brought
out by counsel for the men that in the
work now being done the company has
possession of the streets at will, and
for this reason gets more work out of
its men in day than formerly. Hart
well said that there were now 2200
trackmen employed and that they were
working nine hours for 1925, which
was raised to $3.50 the second month
Hartwell rehearsed the difficulties of
the company in securing laborers from
among the refugees, whereat Johnson
exclaimed:
What wonder when the company
only offered them mere pittance. No
one will work for starvation wages
The witness confessed that at least
10 per cent of the men left each month
but he seemed reluctant to give his
testimony He stated that the practice
of furnishing the men with Badges
which were good on the cars of the
company for transportation had been
abandoned because it was found that
the men would quit without asking for
their pay and the retained badges
would afterward be presented by
tradesmen, leaving the inference that
the men found it more profitable to
sell the badge, which could be used as
a pass. than to draw the pay the COM
pany allowed.
After arrangements had been made
for the court to inspect the power
plants of the company to see the dan
ger under which the men worked, ad-
journment was taken until Tuesday
morning at 10 o'clock.

TRACK KWORKERS' CASE

Evidence in the case of the station

cluded before the Garments and United
Railroads arbitration board yesterday
and the third case, that of the track
workers, or construction men, was
opened.
The morning session opened with a
dispute between counsel as to the ad-
mission of evidence of the wages paid
f1remen and engineers during the
strike.
Only two witnesses, John Grove,
pump man, and Arthur Beady, an oiler.
were called. Their testimony was along
the lines of that which had been pre-
sented before on the duties and dan
gers attending their line of work
To show that workmen in other con-
Germs had received increased wages
since the fire, Albert Johnson intro
duced the following table which had
been compiled by o. A. Tveitmoe of the
Building Trades Council, giving the in
crease in twenty three different kinds
of work and showing an increase of
from 10 to % per cent:

Telegraph Company Must Pay For
Delivering Offensive Message.
In the United States court at vicks-
burg, Miss, the case of ]. C. Cash
man, editor of the Vicksburg Morning
Post, versus the Western Union Tele-
graph company was decided In favor
of eastman, who was given $4,000
damages.
Mr.. eastman sued the company for
damages because it received at Oxford,
Miss, transmitted to :'icksburg and
delivered to him an alleged vile, in
sulting and defamatury telegram sign
ed by former United States Senator
w. v. Sullivan. The plaintiff sought
to recover $25, 00Qe damages.
The message was signed by w. Y.
Sullivan and was denunciation Of
dispatch appearing in the Post Octo-
Der 81, 1901, in which Senator Sulli-
van and a lady were made to figure in
a sensational manner.
The veracity of the story as print
ed by the Vicksburg Post was not
brought into question and was not in
volved in the suit. The plaintiff
sought to recover damages because
the Post article was branded by SEN
ator Sullivan as IAN Internal lie," and
eastman was referred to as "a nasty
dog"
This was the second trial of the
case. At former sitting of the fed
eral court the plaintiff recovered
damages in the sum of $4,000, and
the case was appealed to the United
States circuit court of appeals at New
Orleans, being later remanded TO this
court for rehearing.
