BIG LEGAL FEES.

When Mr.. Delmas was summoned
all the way from California to defend
Harry K. Thaw in his trial for MUIR
der it was rumored that the amount
of his fee would be something like
500, 900. Since then estimates of
the fee have dwindled to about $25,-
600, figure which falls far short of
placing Mr.. Delmas among the first
rank of heavily paid attorneys. Says
the Des Moines Register and Leader: ]:
"The late Colonel Ingersol, James
R. Dill, William Nelson Cromwell,
Senator Piles, and a half-dozen other
lawyers have been paid fees so many
times larger than this as to put them
out of the Delmas class altogether" !"
A list of these fees has been compiled
which shows the estimated payment
of noted lawyers in big cases. We
read in this paper:
The list is astounding. That
James R. Dill, of New York, received
an even million dollars for settling
Steel Corporation dispute has been
repeatedly asserted as fact. That
William Nelson Cromwell made
81 900, 900, or possibly Sc, 900, 900,
by negotiating the sale of the Panama
Canal is a sub-rosa assertion which
has yet to be denied. Before a SEN
ate committee Mr.. Cromwell admitted
having received $2oo, 900 and said he
expected more. This is not Mr..
Cromwell's first big fee. For reor-
ganizing the firm of Decker, Howell
& Co., in 1891, he received from the
court $500, 900. He is said to have
been paid a $Ioo, 900 fee on another
occasion. 1t is claimed that Mr.. Dill,
now Judge on the New Jersey bench,
was paid million dollars for straight
ening out the tangle between Au-
drew Carnegie and Henry c. Frick
over the transfer of properties merged
in the United States Steel Copora-
ton. A fee of $500, 900 is said to
have been paid to New York law
yer, William D. Guthrie, for break
ing the will of the late Henry B.
Plant, owner of a system of steam
ships, railways and hotels. Another
large attorneys fee recently granted
in courts decision at Seattle was
that of Senator S. H. Piles, who will
get $45o, 900 in the famous Johu Sui
livan will case. In contested will
case recently closed at Milwaukee one
firm of lawyers was allowed $Io7, 900,
another $50, 900, and third $780,
900. For a single argument before
the United States Supreme Court,
Joseph H. Choate is said to have re-
ceived $780, 900. The effect of the
argument was the declaring unconsti-
tutional of the income tax.
Had Mr.. Delmas received the
$780, 900 fee which it was at first
rumored he was to receive he would
rank among the highest-paid lawyers
of the country, but a $4,000 fee
docs not entitle him to this honor.

STEINER VS.. HARDING,

the parties no doubt wished, when 1t was too
late, that they had obtained the guarantee OF
title of the Title Guarantee and Trust Company.
In the year 1914 Christopher Meyer died. and
by his will left tract of land TO two Of his sons,
charging the land with the payment Of legacy
Of one hundred and seventy-five pounds equiv
alent to $46668H In favor of his son George for
his life, and after his death for the use of the
heirs of George. George continued TO receive
the income Of the legacy and died in 1851 leaving
rs his only heir granddaughter, who lived some
distance away. She did not know of the will of
her great grandfather Christopher Meyer, and
never heard Of her grandfather's income.
Some time in 1894 her granduncle, aged so
years, came back to Maryland from his home in
Kansas, and in talking about old times he men
toned that her grandfather used to receive an
income from some property. and that he thought
that she ought to get some OF It.. She then
brought suit, and the court decided that she was
entitled to recover not only the $46666Hs put
