IMPORTANT DECISION
IN PROBATE MATTERS
New Ruling Will Prove Protec'
ti0n to Estates.
State Wide Holiday Declared When
Taft Reaches Seattle, Septe m Der
80 Attendance at Fair Will Sur
pass All Previous Days.

Seattle, September 22-Court Com
missioner Robert Lindsay, acting for TIE
King county superior bench, has made a
decision in probate matters which, while
it will not make him popular with the
legal profession, will be the means of
saving estates from inroads by attor-
neys in the future. 1t has been the Gus
tom in Washington for administrato tors
to appoint an attorney for the estate
In settling the costs OF administ ration
the courts have invariably allowed the
atto' nry fee equal to that of the ad
miuistratOr. Citing the famous Sullivan
case, Commissioner Lindsay pointed out
that there can be no such officer as sat
tOrney for an estate The attorney
represents only the administrator and
must look to him for his payment. The
old arrangement was a double drain on
an estate and always regarded as
good thing" by the legal profession
The new ruling will prove valuable
protection for estates hereafter.
