Aepeiiate Division Of the Supreme Cour,
To-Day. She Is being sued by Amos
Inward Woodruff, lawyer Of No. iss
broadway. VINO claims 5000 as a bal.
ancs due for services after the death
OF her husband, Charles p. squier. In
October. 1904.
Mfs Squier lives width her son, Charles
surnham Squier. at No 62l Park ave-
nue.. The family formerly lived on a
magnificent estate at Railway, n. j..
and were old friends and negheors Of
Attorney Woodruff and HIS wife.
In his complaint Woodruff says that
two days after the funeral of squier
the widow came to him and asked that
he assist her In handling the AFFAIRS OF
the estate. He agreed TO do so for
No,Wo. and for his services UP TO April
J. 1905. he rendered q bill for that
amount. Mrs. Squie- held that II was
exorbitant. She dismissed the attorney
after n consultation with her uncle, Jo-
seph keene, a millionaire OF Philadel-
phia, where Mrs. Squier was formerly
prominent In society.
Woodruff blames the widows rnatricu-
lston at law school for big part OF his
troubles. lie says her study added
greatly to his difficulties.
In his complaint Woodruff says one
OF his services was the procurement OF
$Soo.ooo bond to enable Mrs. Squier to
qualify as ADMINISTRATIVE of her hus-
Aband's estate and as guardian for her
son, then minor He says that for
upward of six months. without receiv-

client expressed great satisfaction with
his work until after she called at hts Of
nee one day In April 1906. and received
advice concerning a check. Mrs. Squier,
he says, made known that she was dis
satisfied with this advice and never re-
turned to his ONCE.

ALCO MOTOR TRUCK
CARRIES NUMEROUS
FINE INSTRUMENTS

Plotting a motor truck across the con
tinent is no JOY ride" in any sense OF
the word as Captain r. l.. Ferguson,
director of the Transcontjnental Alec
truck, is glad to testify.
Not only is he responsible for main
tanning the trucks schedule--a stren-
uous TASK in itsef-but he has also to
| keep a detailed record of the trip. The
large number of instruments with
which he is equipped for this purpose
would do credit to scientists labora-
tory or the expedition of an Arctic ex-
plorer
On the truck itself are attached d
Sears Cross speed Indicator. operating
on flexible shaft and registering rate
of speed and total mileage; a Needer
odometer, fastened on the axle; and a
! Coronet hubodometer built into the hub
cap of the front wheel thus giving
triple check on the mileage of the car
! on the wooden canopy frame of the
truck just above the drivers seat, is
attached a SeNis recorder, a device
which. without being in any way con-
nected with the running gear shows
every period of travel and stops dur
| ing the day. The SerVis Recorder charts
at the end of the trip will be proof of
the actual running time of the truck
and will be one of the most valuable
and interesting parts of the travel data.
Besides these Instruments attached
: to the truck itself, Ferguson carries his
! famous winning watch, a time
! piece of remarkable accuracy At the
end Of its present transcontinental hike
| ii Will have been on practically every
| important automobile tour in the coun-
try and in all but two of the states of
the Union This watch is worn after
the European fashion in a wrist case.
The equipment also includes a Unit
ed States army compass, specially cali
| bratcd against magnetism-an import
ant item on account of the practically
all-steeI construction Of the truck; an
anerOid barometer to record height
above sea level and humidity; a United
| States army thermometer in special
case to prevent breakage and other in
struments to test accuracy of the data
obtained
The results Of the trip when tabu-
lated at the finish Will furnish the most
/ complete data ever compiled on the
/ longest distance delivery yet to b.
undertaken by motor truck They will
show the exact mileage of Charles w
! Young e. Companys Alec. and Just
| how many hours Of actual travel were
! requiIed to make the journey both day
/ by day and for the entire distance The
proportion of time in motion to time OF.

LARGER AND BETTER
ROAD SIGNS BADLY
NEEDED IN SOUTH

AN important cOrOllarN Of the good
roads movement which the automobile
world Is doing so much to prosper -
says an Atlanta automobile expert. is a
movement for larger. more frequent
and more distinct road signs. We do
not sufficiently take in consideration
the fact that in the day of the horse
and buggy one could only cover lin
tied area and one knew that pretty
well.
If piece of road had just been
torn up. you knew and avoided it. If
the local draWbrdge was liable to draw
when your vehicle was half off and
half on, you knew that and negotiated
the bridge with due caution.
Nowadays the automobile covers
twenty miles for every mile possible
