WANTS CASE
SETTLED Up
Judge Robinson En-
phatic in Carter viii
Matter.

''You say for me- said Judge Rob
inson yesterday, during an internlission
in the hearing of the Margaret V. Car
ter will case in his department of the
Circuit Court, that there is not bit
of use for the Home Rule party to try
and do politics, but I think that if they
were all to come in here and devote
their energies to the task of ousting
Jessie K. Kaai from her place as adj
ministratrix of this estate they would
accomplish a work of real public ben
eft. Most of them were in court today
when the hearing was going on, any
how.'
This was the case in which the Judge
had said, earlier in the day, that it was
a fool will, anyhow-and, later in the
day, he granted the motion to dismiss
the petition for the discharge of the
executrix, saying at the same time to
Attorney Ashford:
cit is my opinion that you should,
in justice to all parties concerned, take
steps to have this estate finally set
tied. 1t has been allowed to drag its
weary length through the courts too
long, already"
The hearing came up this time on
motion to discharge the executrix be-
cause, as the attorney for the heirs and
trustees under the will claims, she has
seized all the revenues of the estate
and they can get nothing. The only
revenue from the estate is from the
realty.
"When this will was admitted to pro-
BATE" said Judge Robinson, in ruling
on the case, ''the title to the realty
passed absolutely to the devisees I'M
der the will. The revenue from the
realty is part of the realty, and the
executrix has nothing to do with that
whatever. All she has is the personal
property. That consists of a few old
sticks of furniture, not very valuable
Il have seen it-and some jewels. But
the realty and the income from the
realty, this rice land rented to Chinese,
she has NO right to whatever
1t is charged, nevertheless, that the
executrix has been collecting certain
revenues from rented land, and it is
these revenues that the heirs want to
get hold of. Mr.. Ashford promised, if
there were no proceedings, to take steps
within eight days to secure the final
accounting and settlement of the es-
tate. On that understanding, the par
ties to the proceeding fled out of court.
