Grounds for Opposition.

In opposing the confirmation OF Referee
Res,1lelds report Lawyer Fenlon said that
the referee failed to state that Trust
Officer Cardoza knew that the Beaver
Construction Company suolct its contracts
and that he knew when he gave business
tn the Beaver Construction Company that
he was giving il to Russell Marston, the
presidents son.
In lis decision surrogate Fowler said
that although acquitting the trustee from
deliberate wrongdoing" he directed the
trustee 20 repay 10 the estate Sl25 as the
amount OF money collected 10y the real
estate agents from tenants in the Krone
thai properly for telephone charges and
which was not included IN account
The Surrogate also charged against the
trust company sos2 representing the profit
added by the Beaver Construction Com
pany on the charges for repairs ana sup
plies made b" sub-contractors. which the
Surrogate saws represents the excess
over the cost Of the repairs on the trust
property"

BANK AS TRUSTEE
PAID TWO PROFITS
Farmers Loan and Trust Co.,
However, Found Not Guilty
Of Collision.
THREE FIRMSINTERLOCKED
Concerns Owned by Son of
Bank President Handled
All Property.

Under decree signed by Surrogate
Fowler In an accounting by the Farmers
Loan and Trust Company as trustee OF
real estate under the will OF Wolf Krone
thai, In which objections to the accounting
were made by Joseph bronchial. one OF
the legatees. the trust company has paid
sz'olS as the expenses OF hearings before
referee which covered more than n year
and In which 300 pages OF testimony we're
taken.
Inc trust company paid the expenses
or the proceeding, in spite OF a finding by
tho surrogate that the trustee had been
guilty or no deliberate wrongdoing,"
because OF admissions by employees and
onicers OF the trust company that all the
real estate handled by the concern as
trustee Of estates was turned over TO the
real estate firm OF Mooycr & Marston Of
forty-nrst street and Fifth avenue for
management and all repairs and supplies
Tor the property were contracted for with
the Beaver Construction Company, the
stock of which Is owned by Russell
Marston.
The testimony showed that Russell
Aarston. who ~ a partner In Mooyer 4
Marston. as well Us owner OF the Beaver
Construction Company stock. is son
OF Edwin =. Maj ston. president of tho
FARMERS Loan and Trust Company. The
trust company is said To- be trustee of
more than loo estates, involving more
than 500 parcels of real estate.
William u. c.lrdozl. vice-pre-ldent and
trust officer Of the trust company, testi-
fed that practically all the work of this
same nature for AL of the trust estates
or the Farmers Loan and Trust Company
is done by the Beaver Construction Com
pany."
Objects to Two Profits.
The accounting by tho trust company
was contested 10y Joseph bronchial on
the ground that the Beaver Construction
Company and the firm of Ntooyer & Mars
ton we're making improper profits because
the repair work was let out to q sub
contractor by the construction company
and after the sub-contructurs bill mad
been received the Beaver Construction
Coinpanys profits were added to the bill
by order Of Russell Mars;on. and the bill
was then collectei from the estate.
kronethals attorney, John r. Fenlon
or DO Liberty street insisted that IT was
illegal for the trust company to permit
Russell Marstcn. son 90 President Mars
ton, TO make the profits disclosed In the
testimony.
The case was before Robert l.. Relfeld
OF 35 Nassau street as referee. who said:
1T may De conceded that "A strict re-
gard for the ethical std. of the case would
probably have resulted In the selection
OF some other contractor. but 1t does
not follow that the trustee has h, en- guilty
OF any legal wrong for which the law will
hold II responsible. can see no justice
in the claim that the trustee has been
guilty OF bad faith or that IL should
personally bear the cost simply because
the principal owner OF the Contracting
company is the son Of It's president, SO
long as no personal gain or pront acrues

weak patients, that the food Is a won :

to the mountains of this state, but two
months there did not improve me; in
fact, was not quite as well as when

began to use Grape Nuts food and in
two weeks could walk mile without

Des Moines, Sept. 10-The books of
the state board of education are very
carefully kept and make complete
showing of the finances of the educa-
tional Institutions in their relation TO
the state. According to these books as
kept by J. w. Bowdish. of Cedar Rap
ids, former cashier of John T. Hamii-
toms bank, the state educational insti-
tutions received out of the state treas
ury of Iowa in the fiscal year ended
July l, last over 100000.
In the two year period ended July l..
1895, under appropriations signed by
Governor Horace Boies, these same in
stitutions received a total of 1852, l69,
or an average of $751; 600 a year.
The increase in cost to the state of
these institutions has been over 200
per cent.
Last Years Appropriations.
What the educational institutions re-
ceived last year out of the state treas
Jury was as follows:
Ames, appropriations ........ $1Sl ,oS9
Ames, millage, about ......... 1S5,oOo
Iowa City, appropriations $50. 604, 700

institutions had to deal with demo-

the two year period. as follows: Ames.

Falls, s59,s75; vinton, s74.01l.
To Be Decreased Next Year.
1t is true that Governor Horace
Boies recommended and strongly urged
in his messages greater expenditure,
or as his followers would now call it
"extravagance, and urged that the
millage taxes be established for these
institutions and as means of raising
funds for the state use: but 1t was
not until later that the real needs OF
the institutions were seen and acted
upon by republican legislators.
The expenditures for the various ed
ucational institutions under the state
board of education will not be as
