ABOUT ATTORNEY FEES.

SOMEBODY CusSluk tne local laNNel
about his exorbitant fee. The law
yer as a whole, may be a suspicious
character. yea, even hard nut, but
the average Fulton county lawyer
doesn't make pin money" for some
OF the well known attorneys Of this
country. A $500 fee would look like
3Oc to them, although they are nc
longer at the task than abe country
lawyer. Il might be Of interest Ia
our readers to know that George b.
wickersham, Attorney General Of the
United States, who as one of the at
torneys in the litigation between the
City of Chicago and the Chicago Trac
tion Company was paid a fee of 5000,
600 and he did not receive as much
relatively, as Elihu Root. who topped
every fee ever paid to any lawyer in
the world considered from the view
of services performed.
After the death of Russell Sage. a
legal snarl presented itself as to the
distribution of the estate, variously
estimated at from S14OOOO.O 600 to
S2O0, 900. 600. Mrs. Sage. kindly. gen
erous and just, wanted the legal ques-
ton settled quickly and by authority.
Il want you to see Mr.. Elihu
Root" she said to he adviser, "and
say to him that | will consider il a
distinct favor IL he will pass upon
the question and give me his decis-
ion"
Communication was opened up at
once with the Secretary Of War. A
special messenger called upon him.
He was too much engrossed with his
official duties to give the request at
tention.
Please say to Mrs. Sage" said
he. that it will be impossible for me
TO act. am not practicing law now.
But it is not a question of fee,
Mr.. Root" said the intermediary.
Mrs. Sage insists that you, and you
only, shall advise in the matter"
Il repeat" replied the War secre-
tary, that l do not wish TO be re-
tanned. and you say that nothing
further need be suggested. My fee
would be practically prohibitive and
l want it so regarded"
And that fee would be"
well, say s25O,OOO.' was the reply
in a tone intended TO cut off further
discussion.
That same day telegraphic COM
munication with Mrs. Sage was open
ed. PAY it," she said. Mr. Root
was astounded when informed that
his ''prohibitive" fee was regarded
as settled. He accomplished what he
had to do in less than AS hours, with
out appearing in court and without
engaging additional aid, and Mrs.
Sage was very well satisfied.

Court of Errors and Appeals in New

FORFEITS
CREDITS BY
RASHNESS

"Coney" Williams. who escaped
from the state penitentiary in Au-
gust, was recaptured by Warden Cur
It's, of the Oregon state penitentiary,
and Detectives Coleman and Snow,
in a lodging house at Second and
Ankeny street last night.
Williams, who is but youth was
sent up from Hillsboro for forgery
He had served five months of his
wo-year-sentence when he and two
other convicts seized an opportunity
while at work in the brick yard OF
the state institution and made their
getaway.
Both of Williams pals are still at
large.
The above article appeared in the
Oregonian this morning, and the cap
tured convict escaped from the prison
guards at the brick yard near the
penitentiary several months ago.
Williams, in company with another
prisoner, quietly walked away from
the brick yards in the night time,
they having been TRUSTEES placed in
charge of burning the brick at night
Williams was returned to the peni~
tentiary today and will probably be
compelled to forfeit all his credit

He also has more than an ordinary

human heart, the disaster in many
homes without Christ, and a final
place of banishment from God
where the wicked must spend eterni-

VALUABLE
PROPERTY
IN CLOUD
UNITED PRESS LEASED w1HE.l

San Bernardino, Cal, Dec. "a
title to 100 acres of land, alleged to
be clouded, may cause Mrs. Theresa
Oelrichs and Mrs. Virginia Wander
bilt, of New York, heirs of the late
millionaire, Charles L. Fair, to jour
ney from the East to San Bernardino,
to give evidence to clear the title.
That the two wealthy women may
be drawn into the suit involving valu-
able property in this city, became ev-
ident yesterday, when the case was
brought to trial in court.
Last summer the heirs of James
G. Fair sold three parcels of land to
four local men. 1t was found later
that the most valuable strip in the
tract, fronting 1880 feet on Arrow
head boulevard and 166 feet on High
land avenue, was claimed by William
Mas. The purchasers tried to force
Mas to vacate, but he refused, and a
suit was filed against him.
In objecting to certain evidence,
Attorney Suur, who is defending
Mass, intimated that the title is not
clear, and no matter how the pres
ent action may end, Mrs. Vanderbilt
and Mrs. Oelrichs may be compelled
to come here and give evidence in
connection with the land title.

institute condemnation proceedings
to secure a site for the proposed for
tifioations nc San Pedro. or locate the
fort elsewhere. according to real es
tate men here today.
That such action will be necessary
became evident when II was learned
that land owners are planning to
build n number OF cottages on various
portions of the proposed site, and in
crease the price of the land.
When it became known that gov
ernment agents were considering a
certain point Of land near here for a
fort, boom In real estate followed.
According to experts. the land own
ers have intentions OF securing the
highest possible prices for their prop
critics from the government. with
the erection of a few cottages, it is
estimated that the site desired by the
United States will have about $25, 900
tackled on TO the present values. This
the government will be compelled TO
pay unless condemnation proceedings
are instituted, II the land Is de-
sired.
