COURT IS REQUESTED
TO REMOVE TRUSTEE
Granddaughter of Columbus
Alexander Makes Charges
Against Mr.. Hay.

Alleging incompetency and msmanage-
ment, Mrs. Louis r. Hayes, granddaugh-
ter of the late Columbus Alexander, has
asked the District Supreme Court to re-
move Thomas W. Hay from the trustee
ship of the Alexander estate, valued at
100000.
Mrs. Hayes told the court that the
trustee is a brother Of Rebecca Alexan-
der, the widow Of Columbus Alexander
who is ninety-three years Of age, and
against whom a petition in lunacy was
filed recently by another granddaughter
She charged that under the terms Of the
will of Columbus Alexander Mr.. Hay was
not to become a trustee of the estate
until the death of his sister, Rebecca
Alexander, who is the sole beneficiary OF
the estate for her life. Mrs. Hayes says
the trustee, however, has assumed to act
in the matter. has taken charge Of the
estate, sold portions of it amounting to
$4,000. and reinvested the money in al
legged doubtful securities.
Some Of the Charges.
The charge is made that the trustee
loaned the money on the security of un.
of on fee title. 1t is alleged that he has
no knowledge of titles, and made the
loans without taking the precaution OF
having title company or a lawyer
search the records. A note secured on
real estate was sold by the trustee, it is
alleged. and $500 secured from the
sale was advanced to his daughter and
her husband for the purpose Of enabline
the son-in-law Ito speculate in the prop
erty of which Hay was trustee" Because
of these alleged actions, and by reason OF
his advanced age and feebleness, the
trustee is incapable of managing the
estate. Mrs. Hayes says. She asks the
removal of the trustee and the substitu-
ton of some other person. Attorney w
+. Lester represented the petitioner.
Mrs. Hayes said today that she de-
plored all the charges and counter-charges
which We're being made. cit is owing tc

FIRE LIMITS EXTENDED,
VEXiNG ISSUE SETTLED
Order by Commissioners Applying to
r Street Between High School
and Cemetery.

In issuing an order extending the tire
limits TO the north side of r street be-
tween Oak Hill cemetery and the West
ern High School, in Georgetown, the
District Commissioners solved a math-
ematical problem which has been a ia
vorite topic of debate among the Off
GERS of the seventh police precinct.
The fire limits, which have been con-
strued to extend merely to the middle of
the street, have created the unique stu
alton whereby automobilists could speed
at the rate of twenty miles an hour
along the north side of the thorouShfare.
although required to observe the twelve
, mile limit on the south side. The speed
regulations provide for rate of twelve
miles an hour within the fire limits.
Puzzles the Police.
AS many automobilists take the middle
of the road, the seventh precinct officers
have had hard time trying to ascertain
not only the speed limit for the dividing
line, but which side of the line the
drivers are on in doubtful cases.
The Commissioners decided that the
only way satisfactorily to solve the
question would be to extend the fire
limits SO that they will include the north
side of the street. This will make a uni
form speed limit Of twelve miles an hour
for the entire street.
