ADOPTED GIRL HIS HEIRESS
Court Gives $4,000 to Her,
Excluding Blood Relatives.

The Appellate Division Of the Supreme
Court decided yesterday that Miss Dorothy
Hoyt who at one year old, in 1894. was
taken from the Nursery and Chiid
Hospital and adopted by the late Frank n
Hoyt and his wife. Mrs Marguerite Hoyt'
is entitled to the sl5o.oOo trust fund which
Mr.. Hoyt's mother. Mrs. Rhoda z. Hoyt'
set aside for him In 1896.
The terms Of the trust fund provided
that at the death OF Mr.. Hoyt the money
should go to his children. and. II there were
no children. then to his heirs. Mr.. Hoyt
died in 1911. His heirs were his adopted
daughter, a brother and a sister. and three
children OF dead brother.
The United States Company, as trustee
OF the fund. brought suit to determine
whether the fund should go to Miss Hoyt
or to the blood relatives. Justice Bowling
who wrote the majority decision Of the
Appellate Division, said foster child had
the same right TO inherit when adopted
from an institution as when given up by
its parents. The justice wrote: AS the
main consideration in adoption Is the good
of the child the state is as watchful Of the
interests Of the minor coming from the
care of an institution as from that Of an
individual"
Presiding Justice Ingraham dissented
from the majority opinion. He said that
when the orphan, Miss Hoyt. was adopted
there was no statute that made her the
legal heir Of Mr. Hoyt, and that under the
terms of the trust he did not believe Mrs.
Hoyt intended the $4,000 should go to an
adopted child OF her SON.

COURT is HER CHAMPION
Appellate Division Defends Mrs.
Hindley's Good Name.

Expressing the opinion that perjury had
been committed and that the defendant was
probably not guilty OF the charges against
her. the Appellate Division reversed yester-
day the report OF the referee In the divorce
suit of Charles T.Hindley against his wife.
Mrs. Mary b. TIindley. and ordered new
trial before another referee.
IIindley lives at the Hotel Manhattan.
His suit was based on the testimony OF
woman who swore she saw Mrs Hindley In
q room with the correspondent. The higher
court set forth that It was not conceivable
that a woman of the breeding and social
position Of Mrs Hindley would be guilty
of the charge and. further, that possibly II
was the woman who testified against her
who was the one with the correspondent
II was also shown that on the night In
question Mrs. Hindley was at her summer
home at Seabright. N. j.. and could hardly
have been in the alleged meeting place.
The referee who heard the case was
Phoenix Ingraham. son OF the presiding JUS
t,ce of the Appellate Division The latter
did not take part in the hearing Of the
appeal.

j. S. EXPOSES PACKERS
High Prices Not Due to the
Scarcity of Livestock.
APRIL RECEIPTS GREATER
House Asked to Find Out II
There Is a Beef Trust-The
Governments Report.
From Tho Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington, May 31.-Coincdent with
disclosures in reports made by the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor showing that
livestock receipts at the seven principal
Western markets In April were greater than
those Of any April since 1907. Representa-
tive Edwards. Of Georgia, to-day introduced
a resolution in the House directing the At
torney General to investigate whether there
is beef trust responsible for high prices.
The figures given out by the Bureau Of
Statistics are particularly significant In
view of the fact that the packers have con-
tended that the increase in prices was due
to scarcity OF livestock. Not only were
the receipts large In April. but during the
whole four months Of the present year an
unusually large amount of livestock was re-
ce!ved. The receipts at the four leading At
lantic seaport cities. Boston, New York,
Philadelphia and Baltimore. also showed an
increase over the April receipts In the ag-
gregate. Boston alone showing a decline.
Because of the conflicting statements %
the packers and the government statistics
Representative Edwards believes there is L
field for fruitful investigation He is Of the
opinion that there is no just reason for the
advance in prices and is determined to have
full inquiry into the situation.
Relative to the receipts, the government
report says:
The livestock receipts at the seven pr1n-
cpal Western markets. namely, Chicago,
Kansas City, Omaha, st. Louis, St Joseph,
St Paul and Sioux City, in April were
greater than those OF any April since 1897.
Furthermore, the aggregate receipts or live
stock at the seven markets during the four
months Of the present year were greater
by far than during the same four months
of any year during the last decade. the
receipts Of April. well those OF
March and February. however having been
somewhat less than those OF January,
The receipts in April, 1912, which include
cattle calves. hogs. sheep. horses ana
mules were 9.23s600 a gain of more than 3ia
per cent when compared with 3.l39S head
received in April. 1911. and gain OF nearly
~ per cent when compared with 2,24,9W
head received I'm April 1910.
Tie total receipts at these markets dur
ing the first four months Of the present
year were l5,l23,769 head, an Increase or
1872 per cent over the receipts during the
same period in 1911 and 40 per cent over
those in 1910.
In regard TO the livestock receipts at the
Atlantic ports the report says:
The receipts of neat livestock al the four
leading cities during April, 1917, were 6A.eN
head. an increase over the April receipts
for a number of years past. Likewise, the
receipts at these ports during the hrst four
months OF the present year were excep-
tionally large. The total receipts or neat
livestock in New York were 317,S06 head in
April.
