KNICKERBOCKER FAILURE
EMBARRASSES MISSIONS.
Methodist Episcopal Society Has Money
on Deposit in Trust Company
Which Is Much Needed.

NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-Missionaries
in the Far East and in Africa, whose
salaries are guaranteed by the New
York branch of the Woman's Mission
airy Society of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, and who recently had checks
on the Knickerbocker Trust Company
mailed to them, will have a hard time
having the checks cashed owing to the
suspension of the company. In antici-
patton of possible trouble in this re-
spect, the society has mailed a cir
cular letter to each of its 27,00O men,
bers in this state and New Jersey, ex-
planning the situation.
A few weeks before the ANNUAL meet
ing Of the society last month its Off
GERS found that it was facing a deficit
of about $35, 00O. The women of the
society were appealed to and by
prayer and work. as Mrs, j. Sumner
Stone, the treasurer. describes it, the
books were balanced and there was a
credit balance of 1872 IN hand when the
society met.
The society had $4,000 Of its money
on deposit with the Knickerbocker
Trust Company, n the missionaries
were mailed their checks last month
as usual. Then came the furry and the
enforced closing Of the company. The
society is represented in the foreign
mission field by many hundreds of
workers. Mrs. Stone says that the
women Of the society have now set to
work to raise the money to replace the
funds tied UP by the suspension.

The question Of whether Surrogate

termed double fees for administration
of the 1000, 600 state of the late Oliver
S. Carter, of West Orange. was raised
before JudgepTen Eycl-, in the Orphans
Court today by Charles l.. Corbin, of
Jersey City.
AT Mr.. Carriers death. IN 1860, his
estate went through the hands of ex-
ecutors in the usual manner and they.
being discharged, the estate passed to
the Mercantile Trust Company. of DER
sey city.
Mr.. Corbin, representing the com
pany. today filed its first accounting.
showing adjustment of the estate and.
as a part of this, the extraction of
~surrogate's fees for the presentation
of a report by the surrogate to the
rus company. This report differed
only in small detail from that prepared
by the surrogate for the executors.
Il wish to bring this matter to the
courts attention. said Mr.. Corbin,
with the petition that this fee be not
allowed in it's entirety. We are willing
to pay for any extra services of the
surrogate in making his report to u.s..
but we do not believe the estate should
be twice taxed for preparation of he
same figures"
Judge Ten Eyck evidenced about the
same opinion, but reserved a decis8n
on his point. He believed technicali-
ties would interfere with his setting
aside Of the s~urrogate's charge, but he

Ending April 90.

Des Moines, April "a. The week
has been unseasonably cold and dry,
with average daily temperatures rang
ing from II to IA degrees below the
normal The precipitation was light
and mostly in form Of snow furries.
Temperatures below freezing were re-
corded nearly every night, and ice
AMI frost were much in evidence in all
districts.
Under these unfavorable conditions
all vegetation has remained practical
ly dormant. AS yet 1t is not possible
to ascertain the extent of damage
caused by freezing weather to fruits
and early seeded cereals. Reports m
dicate that a considerable number of
farmers have begun re-seeding opera
tons in their fields of oats and bar
ley. Good progress has been made
in blowing for corn, and the soil is IN
very fine condition. In all districts
rain is needed for grass and small
grain. The week closed with indica-
lions of fair and warmer weather.
