REJECTS SCHEME TO
DISTRIBUTE $13,5OO
( Judge Fox Holds that Miss
Smiths Will Must Be Ex-
plicitly Complied with.

Declaring that the scheme Of the
executors Of the estate Of Mary Emily
Smith, Elmar b. Grosvenor and Albert
Atchinson Smith. to dispose of the mo-
ney the decedent left to establish nm
orphan asylum in Wayne county or to
be donated to some orphanage exist
ing under the laws Of the state. would
entirely defeat the purpose of Mrs.
Smith, Judge Henry G. Fox handed
down an opinion In the Wayne circuit
court on Monday morning holding
that the executors must comply strict
ly with the terms of the will. The de-
cision Of Judge Fox definitely deter
mines that the 3l3.500 left by Mrs.
Smith shall be either used for the
erection Of an orphans home In this
county or given for the support Of
some institution of this nature In the
state.
The terms OF the will were that an
orphanage should be established by
the money In this county II deemed
practical by the executors OF the will,
with the alternative that. should It
not. the money should be given to
some asylum now operated In the
state. Mrs. Smith declared In her will
that being without child, parent.
brothers or sisters, she desired tha~
her estate be used for the benefit OF
orphan children. and especially those
OF Wayne county II 1t could be SO ar
ranged.
In a report to Judge Fox the two
executors declared that the money.
913.50O, was inadequate to construct
an orphanage in this county and that
the money would merely be dissipated
II used thereby. The executors also
declared that the only institution In
the state to be considered In the mat.
ter Of the donation of the fund was
Whites Manual Labor Institute Of Wa
bash. but inasmuch as the laws by
which Il exists do not declare II to be
IN orphans home the money could not
be donated to II according to the
terms OF the will. They proposed to
the court that the money be turned
over to two trustees and be known as
the MARY Emily Smith Fund. These
two trustees. the executors proposed.
should have entire charge OF the mo-
ney. investing 1t and using the inter.
est for the benefit Of Wayne county
orphans ms they should see tit. They
also declared that the fund should be
susceptible to additions II any were
made.
Judge Fox held In his opinion that
the intention of Mrs. Smith was plain
ly evident and that the proposal Of
the executors would entirely defeat
her purpose, hence 1t could not be
carried out. He declared that the
executors could do with the money
but the two things specified In the
will. and that II they were of opinion
that to build an orphanage In this
county would be impractical. the only
action they could take would be to
donate the money to some orphans
home In the state. He stated 1t was
generally understood that several are

could be given. refuting the state.

ARE YET UNDECIDED
Would Cost T. H., |. & E
$l2.SOO to Move Off the
National Road.

In a report submitted to the Wayne
county board Of commissioners Mon
day, City Engineer Fred Charles esti-
mated the approximate cost for the
Terre Haute. Indianapolis and Eastern
railroad to place it's tracks on the out
side Of the south curb line of the Ma
tional road, west, now being improved
under the three mile road law. from
the corporation line to the township
boundary as $4,000. Officials of the
traction company have told the COM
missioners that it would cost them APP
proximately $4,000.
In view Of the fact that Robert Bee
son, president of the board. stated
some time ago that in case Engineer
Charles did not find that the cost
would be exorbitant that the order CIV
en- the company to SO place its tracks
would be enforced, the moderate es-
innate Of Mr. Charles is taken to mean
that the board will not rescind its &C.
tion and that steps to compel the COM
pany to remove it's tracks beyond the
south curb line will be undertaken.
No action was taken by the commits
sioners Monday on the matter. They
declared that they desired to talk the
matter over between themselves, be-
fore making a definite decision. 1t is
believed that the commissioners will
probably take action at their next
meeting
Engineers Report.
In his report Engineer Charles de-
clares there are but three places be-
tween the corporation line and the
township boundary where earth fills
will be required and he bases his es-
innate on the cost of the fills and re-
tanning walls such as will be neces-
sary to prevent the earth from en-.
crcaching on private property. The
three places are Clear Creek. Moor
mans Arch and Wyatt's Creek.
The estimated expense is itemized
