demanded and may be paid to Clar-

vices rendered in Strengthening out
the estate of Charles T. Yerkes, the
late traction magnate.
Granville w. Browning, master IN
chancery, who was appointed as ref
cree by Judge Cutting of the probate
court, declared that the fee IS just
and not exorbitant. He not only gave
it as his opinion that Knight was en-
titled to the full quarter million, but
that he deserved it for honest and
loyal work in recouping the dissipat-
ing properties following the street/car
mans death in 1905.
