A motion by Attorneys May & DING.
man to be paid $4,000 fees out OF the
trust funds of the estate Of the late
Melinda Hude-Vier, was denied by
Judge Hosmer, Saturday morning,
The services for which the fees are
asked were rendered to Marcel Hude
in opposing the move of his wife to
have him declared a spendthrift.
The motion was opposed by the Sc
curity Trust Co., trustees of the es-
tate. Judge Hosmer stated that while
he thought the services were earned
in legitimate practice, and should be
paid, he could see no way to take the
money fro mthe trust funds.
Hude was left about $4,000, but the
will provides that he is to receive
only $500 a year until he is SO years
of age. Recently his wife tried to
have a guardian appointed on the
ground that ne Is a spendthrift. She
testified that he spent both his wages

Clifford Pinchot, deposed chief OF

chot'u cd1ing to Detroit Is In accord

most interested in the movement at
the time the Michigan association was
first proposed.
Carl e.. Schmidt, member OF the
state forestry board, who is one OF the
most active In the promotion OF the
movement In Michigan does not be
lieve that the discharge OF Pinchot will
retard the progress Of the movement
"It- has become an important issue
and SO widespread that the loss oi

In Mr.. Schmidt's opinion the conser-

II do not know the merits OF the
cases over which this commotion has
arisen" says Alfred Lucking, former
member Of congress, discussing Pin
chot's dismissal by the president. Il
do believe, however. that there should
be a thorough investigation.

"It will be great pity II there are
not on the committee men who will
deliberately take Pinchots side and
bring out every point and fact. The
matter should be probed to the bot

behind the patenting OF those Alaskan

would undoubtedly lead to great de-
velopments.
"It is too early as yet to predict
what effect all this will have upon

PINCHOT PAID $4,000 FOR
CONSERVATION MEETING

The reason violate this confidence
r. as follows
The Ballinger investigation commit
tee (unofficiaD has decided to attack
the integrity OF the forester's motives.
Self-interest. It is said. inspires thc
man who has promoted the conserva-
tion movement. His reason Is really @
desire to sell coal.
Yep. It's this way. Mr.. Pinchot Is
a man of property. An investigation
discloses the fact that some OF the
Pinchot property is Pocahontas coal
mining property. Some shares OF said
mining property are held In trust, and
Pinchot enjoys the revenues.
So. there you are. This explains
why Pinehot -is opposed to the looting
of public coal lands IN Alaska and else
where. Don't you see? He wants To
sell more OF his P?cahontas coal TO
the navy! II the. Guggenheims get the
coal lands In Alaska, and make a har-
Dor. and get out the coal and sell II
to the feet. why. probably the Poca-
hontas Coal Co. will go out OF bus.-
ness, CD the shares which are held
In trust for Pinchot will become worth
less. CD and he will have nothing
CD but his other property and his
government salary to live on!
Do you get the point?
Well, this is oil to be brought out
at the investigation.
And, while they are about 1t. 1t Is 10
be hoped they will bring out the fact
that Pinchot has gone into his own
pocket every year TO duplicate gov
ernment salaries in order to secure
the services for the forestry depart
ment OF young men who would not
work for the government at the beg
carly government pay; that he contri.
Lrtes about four times the amount OF
his salary every year In expediting
the government work. and that he tries
to keep this secret.
There is no doubt that Pinchot needs
to be investigated.
