FEES OF EMINENT LAWYERS
Largest on Record Was That Paid William
Nelson Cromwell for His Part in the
Purchase of the Panama Canal.

the aged railroad magnate. When Mr..
Plant died, in June, 1900, at New
Haven, Conn, his estate was worth
$17,000,000. The point in the contest
was whether Mrs. Plant should re-
ceive an annuity of $4,000 by the
terms of the will or have the will set
aside and get about $7,000,000. The
contest depended on a codicil making
the heirs of Mr.. Plants six-year-old
grandson the residuary legatees and
tying up the fortune until the youngest
son of the grandson reached his ma
jority.
When the case came up for trial,
before Justice Leventritt, in the SUI
preme court, just seven years ago,
lawyers believed that the suit was a
doubtful one. The codicil could be
set aside if the will was offered for
probate in New York. Connecticut
was the only state in which such a
provision would be legal.
So the case turned on a question
of domicile-whether Mr.. Plant was
a resident of New York or of Connect
cut. He went to Connecticut few
days before his death, SO the contest
ant claimed, to avoid the New York
law and establish residence in New
Haven.
Lawyers say that Mr.. Guthrie de-
served all the credit he got for win
ming the suit To his persistence in

Chickens in the SNOWFALL.

Several boys at Tusten, Sullivan
county, started a ball of snow rolling
down hill, and it went flying through
Farmer Schneider's chicken coop.
The big ball gathered up nine OF
Sckneiders fat hens. With the
poultry packed into the ball, legs and
heads of chickens sticking out of the
mass, it rolled farther and brought
up in the barnyard of the next farmer,
on the opposite side of the Tusten
turnpike, where the pigs ate five OF
the chickens.-Port Jervis dispatch

gathering evidence that should make
Mr.. Plant New Yorker and set aside
the codicil, to his skill in presenting
it and questioning the witnesses, Mrs.
Plant owed the 100000 her attorney
won for her. Mr.. Guthrie's fee is said
to have been between ten and ID per
cent. of this fortune, somewhere be-
tween $750,000 and $1,000,0O0.
Of the many big fees Mr.. Guthrie
has received, the most significant was
the $4,000 paid to him in the proceed
ings to test the constitutionality of
the income tax 1t was a case in
which methods counted for more than
fees, and Mr.. Guthrie's tactics made
his fame national. He devised the
method under which the proceedings
should be brought so that they would
not violate the statute against suits
ton of federal taxes. He drafted all
the papers and made the opening ar
guments before the United States SUI
preme court.
IN corporation Eases.
when you hear of very. large fees
paid to lawyers by corporations said
the lawyer, you must remember that
the knowledge and ingenuity of these
attorneys often make the big combi-
nations of capital possible. The business
man goes to the lawyer with the germ
of the idea. The lawyer arranges a
corporation that will be legal and able
to withstand attacks upon it, Often
the lawyers original ideas gu into the
consolidation. The lawyers usually re-
ceive block of stock for their work.
1t is, to certain extent, contingent
fee, for it's value depends upon the
success of their work"
To this class belongs Edward Lau-
terbach, who promoted the East River
Bridge company, reorganized the Phil
adelphia & Reading Railroad COM
pany, consolidated the turbulent af
fairs of the Union and Brooklyn Ele-
waited railroads into one prosperous
concern. Among the others the men
whose peculiar talents also run to cor
poration law are Samuel Untermyer
and Secretary of State Root.
Mr.. Untermyer is credited with hav-
ing received fee, or commission, of
more than $1,000,000 for the deal by
which he induced foreign capitalists
to invest money in this country and in
the consolidation of the American
breweries. 1t is estimated that with
his genius for financial law he can
earn 100000 year and command
$1,000 day for appearances in court:
Secretary Roots Sacrifice.
Lawyers regard Secretary Root as
probably the greatest corporation law
yer in the United States. Mr.. Root
gave. up a law practice estimated to
be worth from $4,000 to 100000
year to take place in a cabinet pay
ing $4,000 a year This was when he
succeeded Secretary Russell A. Alger
of the war department.

A story told of Mr.. Johnson in this
connection is especially characteristic
of the man and his ways. An estate
worth about $4,000 was badly tan
gled and in litigation. On one side
were the women of the family. They
knew nothing of the business. The
property was all they had for their
future support. On the other side
was claimant with shrewd lawyers
and apparently the better of the case
