LEGAL TANGLE OVER LEGACY
Rights of Child Born After Fathers
Death Are Involved.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CUMBERLAND, Md, September 12.-
Whether a son born after its fathers
death is entitled to an income his father
had been receiving from an estate as the
result of a will probably will be settled
at Uniontown. Pa. October 1. This legal
tangle Is due othe death of Lucian P.
Smith of Morgantown, W. Va. who lost
his life in the Titanic disaster. Previous
to the birth of the son Mr.. Smith had
been receiving an income from the es-
tate of James G. Cochran. his grand
father. of Dawson. Pa, who died in 1894
and left a will In which he directed the
estate to set aside $4,000. the income
from which was to go to the children Of
his daughter. Mrs. Anna H. Smith.
Mrs. Smith had three children, Lucian
P. Smith being one of them. The Fidel-
ity Title and Trust Company had been
appointed trustee of this fund. and uzon
it's refusal to pay Smiths child the In
come. legal steps were taken by Repre-
sentative Hughes of Huntington, W. Va,
who is the father of Mrs Lucian r.
smith. The Citizens Title and Trust
Company OF Cniontown, guardian of the
child also took legal action against the
Fidelity Title and Trust Company.

PERMITS STATE BANKS
TO SHARE IN BENEFITS
Senator Shafroth Cites Presidents
Attitude Toward Deposit Of
Postal Savings Funds.

That the President would veto the
bill passed by the Senate Friday
amending the emergency currency act
SO that state banks and trust COM
panies may obtain emergency currency,
If 1t should come to him In that form.
was the prediction of Senator Shafroth
Of Colorado. member Of the banking
and currency committee, last night. He
pointed out that the President had We
toed Friday bill amending the
postal savings act SO that state banks
could receive deposits of the money
accumulated In the postal savings
banks along with the national banks.
because he believed that everything
should be done to aid the federal re-
into 1t.
Senator Shafroth said that to admit
the state banks to the benefits Of the en-
Urgency currency act, when by joining
the federal reserve system they could
obtain these benefits. would be a mistake.
He predicted that the provision would be
stricken from the bill when it reached
the House, and that the bill as origi-
nally presented would be passed.
Original Scope Of Bill.
The bill as originally reported from
the Senate banking and currency COM
mittee merely provided for amending
the emergency currency act by In
creasing the amount of currency which
may be issued against commercial pa
per from 30 to IS per cent of the cap
ital and surplus of the banking asso-
Citations. This was considered neces-
sary in the present emergency.
The bill passed the Senate Friday
by a vote of "a to 16 after de-
bate lasting three days. during which
many amendments were proposed and all
defeated except one. offered by Senator
Hoke Smith Of Georgia, extending the
benefits of the emergency currency act
to state banks
Senator Hoke Smiths amendment was
adopted by a vote OF 81 to IL.
It extends the provisions of the
Northumberland act to all state banks
and trust companies having at least $25.-
600 capital and 20 per cent surplus
Under the amendment state banks and
trust companies would be enabled to join
national currency associations formed I'M
der the Vreeland act, and to obtain cur
rency on their commercial paper and
other securities.
Senator Overman proposed an amend
ment under which banks operating In the
cotton states Of the south would be forced
to give preference to cotton farmers in
loa ming funds secured under the Vree-
land act, and would be prohibited from
charging more than per cent interest.
