Mir. and Mrs, Gallagher are survived by several rel atives, including Mir. Gallagher's broother, Michael Gallagher, of 25 dence the funeral took place. and J. Gallagher a nephew, well known letter carrier of this city

Frederick Perry Asks Investigation in
 Delaney Estate.

A petition has been filed in the pro- bate court by Frederick Perry of the Shell Fish commission asking that the court make an investigation as to why no list of claims were filed by James J. Reynolds as exec1tor of the estate of Edward J, Delaney and if 1t be found that none was filed as the law requires to ascertain why a claim of the peti- tioner against the estate should not be paid at once. MT. Perry claims that While the deceased was alive he acted as his conservator as he was adtudged person of unsound mind and that in such capacity he expended the sum of $35O When the man died he claims he put into the eXecutor a claim for this sum of money but the executor failed to pass upon the claim and also failed to file with the court within the requir- ed sixty days the list of claims against the estate. He now wants to know why the claim should not be paid at once by the estate.

ming the worlds series. Last year
President Yawkey handed the de-
feated Tigers $4,000. lifting the
amount they divided to S36,973.
The Cubs share of the receipts
last year was about $34 900. Presi-
dent Murphy added enough to this
amount to bring it up to $4,000
The giving of rewards by the
club owners to the players winning
the worlds pennant will probably
not be prevented by the new regu-
lation, but its purpose is obvious.
If the owners of one club should
promise their team a bonus for win
ming the worlds flag and the own
ers of the other club should not
unpleasant criticism would surely
follow. Under the new rule, the
presents may be given, but they are
not likely to get much advertising.
Immediately after the pennant
races in the two big leagues have
closed the national commission pro
mulgates a schedule for the world $
series and makes other necessary
arrangements.
One of the earliest-and wisest-
regulations adopted by the commits
sion was that the players should
share only in the receipts of the
first four games.
AS four victories decide the
share only in the receipts of the
championship, this regulation gives
the enemies of the game no chance
to talk of needlessly prolonged
struggle.
