Woman Asked Lawyer If Dcathlpd
Marriage Would BE Legal.

(Chicago Cor. Baltimore American
Lawyer Seth f.. Crews was given
$4,000 by Judge Pinckney in the cir
cult court yesterday for advising Sa-
rah Peterson that 1t would be legal
for her to marry John r. Smith,
wealthy mine owner, on his death
bed. Miss Peterson married Mr..
Smith and ne died almost immedi-
ately afterward. When his estate
was probated she fell heir to $780,
600. Mr.. Crews thought If Miss
Peterson's Eyes" was worth $780,
600 his eyes" ought to be worth one
tenth Of that sum, so he brought suit
for $50, 900. Mrs. Smiths defense
was that she hadn't married Smith
for his money. Judge Pinckeny init
mated strongly that he held con-
trary view.

marry man on his deathbed as Mrs.
Smith did" he said.

TO APPOIN TRUSTEES JULY 5.


On account Of the numerous inQui-
ries that have been made in regard
to the appointment Of public school
trustees this year | wish to make
the following statement for the in
formation Of all concerned:
BY virtue of a ruling Of the At
torney General last year, no public
school trustees were appointed, ex-
cept to fill vacancies. On the first
Tuesday in July of this year. how
ever, all trustees will be appointed
and new commissions Issued. The
resolution passed by the trustees
meeting last November was not en-.
acted into law by the Legislature,
consequently it has no force what
ever so far as the appointment OF
trustees is concerned.
A number Of oral requests have
been filed in this Office for permission
to elect trustees in some OF the dis
tricts this year for the next two
years. All districts desiring to hold
such elections must file q petition in
this office, signed by one-third Of the
qualified voters Of such disllict, on
or before the first cay OF June. These
petitions will be checked with the
books in the Auditors Office to see
that the required number Of names
is on them, and If any petition is
found insufficient and is returned for
additional names, it must be return
ed to this Office by the first day Of
June or 1t will not be considered.
These petitions do not have to be in
any special form. When no petition
Is filed saking for an election the
County Board Of Education will
make the appointment, as heretofore.
TO hold the position of trustee a
man must have lived in the county
for one year, and must be a resident
qualified voter and taxpayer in the
school district. 1t Is not necessary
that he be a land owner.
Since the term Of office of all pub
lie school trustees in the county will
expire on the first Tuesday in July,
no contract made by the present
boards of trustees with a teacher.
to begin teaching after the first
Tuesday Of July Of this year, will be
binding on either party If 1t should
be contested. consider this very
unfortunate, and 10 doubt 1t will
work hardship in many cases, but
such is the law.
| would recommend, however, that
the present trustees go ahead and
look up teacher, suggest to the new
board which may be appointed, or to
have ready for the present boards to
employ. should they be re-appointed
and thus save considerable delay.
Yours very truly,
