TRUSTEES ASK COURT
TO CONSTRUE A WILL
Doubt Expressed as to Man.
ner of Carrying Out Wishes
of Frank P. Burke.

Proceedings to construe the will Of the
late Frank P. Burke. involving an estate
OF $4,000, were begun today in the Su-
preme Court Of the District of Columbia
by James NJ. Green and Patrick ].
Walshe, trustees named in the will. The
defendants are the widow, Mrs. Mary E.
Burke, and the son, Francis E. Burke,
with whom are joined the other prospec-
tive benef1ciaries under the wil-the par
tsh church OF kilcoman Ireland: the
Little Sisters Of the Poor st. AIMS In
FAINT Asylum and ST. Josephs Orphan
Asylum.
Trustees in Doubt.
Through Attorneys Sleman & Lerch, the
trustees tell the court that they are in
DOUBT as to the meaning of several
clauses In the will and seek specific in
struct1ons of the court. After leaving his
WIDOW a life estate the testator provided
that all his real estate should go to the
son. IN fee simple. with the condition that
he might not spend the principal until he
reached the age of forty years The con-
tentlon is made that an absolute estate is
granted and then attempted to be re-
stricted IN the same clause. Doubt of the
validity of such attempted restriction is
suggested by the trustees.
A Further Restriction.
Later in the will Mr.. Burke placed a
further restriction on the absolute estate
of his son by providing that if the son
died without leaving any children, the
property should be sold and divided
equally among the parish church at
kilcoman. Ireland. and the local chart
table institutions named above. On this
point the trustees also seek to be in
structed.
The son is now twenty-seven years old
and unmarried. If the court should de-
termine that an absolute estate was
meant to be granted on the death of the
widow. Mr.. Burke would have the right
of disposition of the property. subject to
the life estate of his mother. at once
without waiting thirteen Years.
Involved in the estate are the Cumber-
land apa rtment house on Thomas Circle,
the southwest corner of 18th and II

Method Suggested.

This could be accomplished, it is pointed
out, by a printed warning on the cars,
Chevy Chase Line Only" Any additional
service to that now in operation between
Chevy Chase lake and Rock Creek bridge
could be made express service, by i'm
portant stops only for certain cars one
suggestion being that an additional car
be put on during the rush hours for one
stop eacn at Chevy Chase Heights, Fern
wood Heights, Cleveland Park and Wood
ley Park.
Another matter which is agitating
patrons of the Chevy Chase line is the
need of a thorough cleaning of the cars
at the lake. The complaint has been that
the car window stills almost constantly
are full of dirt. resulting in a number of
instances in damage to sleeves of gowns
and coats.
The Capital Traction Company has just
put into service on the Chevy Chase line
five new winter cars, which will replace
an equal number of summer .'trlpper''
cars.

WANT QUICKER SERVICE
ON CHEVY CHASE LINE
Citizens Hope for Better Fa-
CiIitieS To and From Treas
ury Department.

Now that the Chevy Chase car line has
installed more frequent night service
the citizens associations are planning d
campaign to secure a quicker service and
better car accommodations between Chevy
Chase Circle and the downtown terminus
at the Treasury Department.
The Connecticut Avenue Citizens Asso-
citation started and won the fight for a
seven-and-a -half-minute schedule in the
evening after the regular 'trippers'' had
been taken off. Under the old schedule
the last "tripper''-the car that runs be-
tween Chevy Chase lake and the Calvert
Street bridge between the schedules of
the through cars-left Rock Greek bridge
for Chevy Chase at S:4 pm, the cars
running only every fifteen minutes after
that hour.
The new schedule. already in effect. cuts
this Roadway between cars up to- IL 80
pm. to seven and one-half minutes.
