WILL APPOINT
 ADMINISTRATOR
Commissioner Rules No Need of Special Administrator for
 Camicia Estate

Yesterday the preliminary steps were taken in the matter Of who is to handle the estate of the late Dr. Camicia. The matter came up on the application of pr. Ernest C. Dalton, who at tended the drcrasrd, and asked to be appointed special administra- tor as one of the principal cred itOrS of the estate. The city. represented by Mayor Rilichir and other creditors, joined in an ap- plicatiou tn have John Giles ap- pointed. Mr.. Ritchir stating that the municipality would attempt 10 prove d non-cupatiNr will. leaving the estate tO the school children of Valdez for library purpos"s. He stated that the city could establish d nOn-cupativr will by a number of reputable witnesses and that possibly a will had been drawn. but that would not be known until such lime as the decrasrd'S papers had been examined.
 Judge Shepard had a number of witnesses examined and eS- tablishd the fact that there was no immediate need of a special administrator and that the mat ter could rest until such time as a general administrator could he legally appointed. Judge Shepard appeared tO be particular in not wishing to impose any unneccS- Sary costs against inc estate, stating that as far as his office was concerned, he would charge no fees, if the city was tO be the beneficiary, and he hoped that others would take the same view. MT. Ritchie stated that in case the city became the legatce he would give the administrator the benefit of his services without cost. The court, after hearing testimony, decided to appoint no special administrator and gave MT Giles, who was Dr. Camicia's s closest friend, permission, under certain restrictions, to examine the dcccascd's papers and to as- certain if possible whether a will had been executed or whether any notes had been made by the de- ceased. in his diary, touching on the subject, which it was known he scruptously kept for years. The court urged that the city or the creditors appear promptly at the statutory time to make aD- plication for the appointment of an administrator, strongly infi- mating that should the city as- iablISh tn" nOn-cupativc will made by tn" deceased he would appoint such administrator as tn" city might suggest.

Information For Federal Pensioners.

On January 81, 1913 the various pen
sion agencies throughout the United
States will be abolished, and beginning
with Feb. 4th. 1918 the pensioners will
be paid by check sent direct to them
from Washington D. C. They will not
have to go through the formally of ex-
ecuting a voucher as heretofore, except
in cases where they are sent penalty
envelopes, that is upon the receipt of
his November check. if the pensioner is
sent penalty envelope as has been the
custom heretofore, he will execute his
voucher as he has always done and for
ward it to the pension Office, but if he
receives only his check, and no envel,,
ope, he will not have to execute q YOU
cher before he receives his Feb. check.
However, all pension certificates must
be carefully preserved, as, upon the
receipt of your check it will be necess-
airy for two witnesses to endorse upon
the back of it that the certificate has
been exhibited to them, before you can
have the check cashed. In the event
the certificate is lost, pensioners must
make application to the Commissioner
of Pensions for new one before time
for the sending out of checks. Post
masters are not allowed to forward
letters containing pension checks.
These checks will be sent to the last
known address of pensioner, and in the
event you want your pension check
sent to new address, notice Of the
new address should be given the Com
missioner of Pensions Washington d. G.
Such notices of change of address
should give the pensioners name. old
address, the new address to which he
desires his check sent, the number of
his certificate and the law under which
his pension was granted. The new
manner of paying pensions will do
away with the necessity of pensioners
paying fee to local officers for ex-
ecuting their vouchers. ]
