REFORM IN QUAKER STATE
Governor stuart Tells Legislature
What He Hopes to
Accomplish.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Jan 15.-Edwin 8.
Stuart became governor of Pennsylvania
today, succeeding Samuel w. Pennypacker,
to whose law Office Mr.. Stuart, when an
errand boy delivered books. His inaugura-
ton was a simple ceremony, the program
including officially prayer, administration
OF the oath and then, as the cannon
doomed the gubernatorial salute of seven
teen guns deliverance OF an inaugural ad-
dress. After that came parade represent
ing the military. municipal and civil
branches or the state life.
1.-THE platform upon which 1 was elected"
the governor said, promised many impor-
tant reforms which the people had been
demanding for years and which, in some
instances, had been persstently denied
them. l gave my word to the people that
II elected governor of Pennsylvania /
would, to the extent of my power, insist
upon the fulfillment Of those promises All
OF the reform pledges of that platform shall
constitute a part of the policy of my adj
ministration, and without any assumption
of debating legislative action, their early
enactment into laws is urgently recon-
mended.'
The governor recommends that trolley
companies be given the right to carry
freight and be given the power OF eminent
domain. He suggests that a state railway
commission be appointed, with powers sim
liar to those conferred upon the Interstate
Commerce commission; advocates a maxi
mum passenger rate Of 2 cents a mile and
recommends legislation to make effective
that portion of the state constitution
which prohibits the railroads from en-

cution of violators Of the pure food law
the governor asks the Legislature to con-
slider the ACCESSIBILITY of requiring resi-
dents of other states sending such COM
modities into the state to have resident
agents upon whom the legal service can be
made, enabling the authorities to hold them
responsible instead of innocent retailers
who buy food, drugs and beverages on the
representation that they are pure.
In the matter of the controversy over
alleged gross overcharges for furnishings

Owing to the general criticism which Il
had invited the Board of Supervisors yes

ing the contract for blank books and
printed supplies to the New Nonpareil
company at the same prices which pre-
vailed last year without advertising for
bids from other firms and instructed the
county auditor to publish the requisite
advertisement for bids. Supervisor Baker
alone stood pat and voted against recon-
sidering the former action,
While II was understood that the board
was contemplating acquiescing in the rec
ommendation of Chairman Setz that 1t
reconsider its action in this matter, 1t
did not come to a focus until the follow
ing communication was received from the
New Nonpareil company and read to the
board:

Board of observation-disclosures: The
New Nonpareil company hereby files its
acceptance of the contract for furnishing
the printed matter and the blank books
for Pottawattamie county for the year
1907 at the same schedule of prices that
prevailed during the year 1906 as per
resolution OF the Board of Supervisors at
it's session on Tuesday; January 5, 1907
Victor E. Bender, Manager.
After figuring on the matter for a week
the board finally disposed of the question
Of the compensation OF H. v. Battey clerk
Of the district court. The law places the
compensation at $4,000, in addition to
which the board decided he was entitled,
as heretofore, to $500 out OF the probate
fees. The appointment OF Percy Battey
as clerk at $50 a month was approved.
The executive council having made a

PROBING THE PROBATE DOCKET
Judge ThorneII starts move TO Have
IL Cleared Up.


IL Cenred Up.
There are more than 500 probate cases
pending on the docket, many OF them hav-
ing been there for several years and Judge
Thornell yesterday took the preliminary
steps to have them cleaned of the calen-
dar 1t is about eighteen years ago since
a cleaning up of the probate calendar was
made and since then there has been large
accumulation of estates which have never
been would up. -r
AS starter Judge Thornell appeared be-
fore the Board Of Supervisors and asked
that arrangements be made to secure some
competent person to assist the clerk of the
district court in doing this work. The
board acquiesced In the request and the
clerk of the court was authorized to secure
such a person, whose compensation will be
determined later by the board
Regarding this matter II. v. Battey,
clerk of the district court, said yesterday:
There are I'm court large number OF
estates, variously estimated at from $500
to $500, In which the administrators have
been delinquent In the matter OF closing
or settling them up as required by law.
Many administrators have neglected to
file annual reports or reports of heirs, or
inventory, and many others have failed to
make the accounting required by law.
Many estates have been pending for from
three to ten years, which should be closed
up, final accounting made, and the adj
ministrator discharged. The negligence
lies with the administrators, who in every
instance are under bond for the faithful
performance of their duties. The result
has been the accumulation OF a large num-
Der of pending estates which should be
disposed Of and which are burden to the
court and court officials. Judge Thornen
has decided to have an 'overhauiing of the
probate dockets and calendars and to re-
quire negligent administrators to settle UP
the estates In their charge, and make final
report and accounting, This will entail a
large amount of additional and unusual
work upon the clerks Office and will re-
quire the employment7sof additional cleri-
cal help In that Office until the work is
completed. The expense must be borne by
