BERRYHILL estates
TO Be transferred
JUDGE BROWN OF CREEK COUN-
TY DEALS WITH HEAVIEST
OF PROBATE MATTERS

SPECIAL TO the world.
Sapulpa, May lin a decision
made public yesterday and which sets
a precedent of unlimited possibilities
in oklahoma probate law, County
Judge Warren II. Brown ordered the
estates OF Flora E. and Oracle |. Ber-
ryhill, Indian minors, transferred to
Quanah, Hardemon County Texas. f.
L. Ledbetter of that county is named
as the guardian TO succeed Bates b.
Burnett, a prominent banker of this
city.
The two minor heirs and their
mother are now living at Quanah, and
it was on their request that the trans
fer was made. This estate is one of
the most valuable IN the state, the
property Of the two minors being one
Of the mots valuable OIL leases in the
Glenn Pool oil fields. In addition to
the quarter million valuation on the
real estate holdings Of the children,
over 100000 cash is included in the
transaction
This decision was a bitter blow TO
the Burnett interest in this city. and
the case was one of the hardest fought
ever tried In Creek County, promm-
ent attorneys having been engaged on
both sides. It was freely alleged in
the trial of the case that the former
guardian, Bates b. Burnett, had mis-
handled the funds entrusted to his
keeping.
In his decision Judge Brown said
u believe that the interests of the
natural guardian and the children
themselves should be followed In this
matter, and as they all want the es-
tate transferred, l believe 1t should
be done"
This is the first case Of its kind
ever to be tried in Oklahoma ana no
court precedent could be found on
which to base a decision. II is GER
tain that the losers will appeal 10
the supreme Court and that some new
law viii be made.

FREE WOOL IMPOSSIBLE AND
UNDESIRABLE.

When Mr.. Bryan condemns thoSe
Democrats who oppose free wool ne
forgets that the Democratic party
has always repealed the charge that
il was a free trade organization and
its slogan has been "a tariff for
revenue only" In view Of this fact
it is mconceivable that the party
should abandon its position, declare
for free wool and thereby lop of
millions of dollars of revenue with
out knowing from what source this
deficit will be- made up On the other
hand it is perfectly natural that the
leaders should desire not free wool,
but reduction of the Payne-Aldrlch
duties on this staple to point where
the duty will be one for revenue only.
This is all that the Democratic party
eyer promised to do and all that the
large majority of people wish done.
We are not in a position to strike oil
all the duty from wool or from any
other commodity which produces a
like amount of revenue and to 10 so
would not only create an embarrasS-
ing deficit in the treasury, but would
be seriously injurious To the eoun-
try's business. Outside OF these
reasons. a bill striking off the entire
duty on wool would stand not the
ghost of = show in the Senate, even
less with the president, and there
fore the passage of such a bill by
the House would impress the people
as more of an effort 10 embarraSS
the Republican party than to relieve
the country of an onerous burden.
The people take more interest IN
what is going on in Washington than
they formerly did and they are quick
to note happenings there. They know
that it may be possible to reduce the
duty in wool. but that it is impossi,
bic TO remove it entirely. and they
will Judge Of the sincerity Of the
Democratic party by the course II
pursues on this question.
