FOR LEGAL RED TAPE
Babies Delay Settlement of Mill
Iionaire'S Estate

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 6.-Babies are ar
riving so fast in the homes of the heirs
of the late William A. Hargardine, one
of the millionaire founders of the Hdr-
gardine- McKittrick dry goods company,
that lawyers and the courts are Won
dering whether the estate ever will be
settled.
Several hundred thousand dollars
worth of real estate is being held in
trust to be turned into cash for the
beneficiaries. But babies have per-
sistently interposed legal obstacles.
These cherubs not only have defied
the courts and lawyers by their advent,
but they have thwarted the plans of
their trustee, who has been striving
for three years TO get a court settle
ment. Each time a petition has been
filed however, the announcement of a
birth in the family has called all legal
process to halt, for under the law no
estate can be settled without entering
the appearance of every heir.

superior to all difficulties, went to work
with a will and one payment after
another has been met until all claims
have been satisfied. A few subscriptions
have vet to be collected, and the sum
realized will be used in procuring new
carpets, and other interior essentials.
