Courthouse Question Of interest To
All the County.
Editor OF the Banner: Referring TO
your editorial OF March Sth. 1t seema
to me that every voter OF the County
of Bennington is fairly entitled to a
voice as to where the shire or shires
OF the County shall be located. Each
one is liable to have litigation. Each
one may be put to unnecessary eX'
pense If the County Seat should be
unwisely located. Why should Man
chester or Bennington or any 9th,
town he excepted when 1t comes to a
vote in which every voter of the
County is vitaly interested? Tn,
franchise belongs of right to all and
! cannot believe that anyone would
wish to disfranchse the people oi
Bennington on question which is to
them of vital Importance.
Yours very sincerely.

WON'T TRY TO COLLECT
Anti-saIoon League Withdraws Claim
Against Park Estate.

| H9ttHot ~
The Anti-saloon league has with
drawn its claim against the estate of
the late Anna C. Park on account of
subscription made shortly before
her death. The facts are told in the
following letter from Rev. Clifford H..
Smith the state superintendent of the
anti-saloon league:
Editor, The Banner: An article ap
peared in your paper about two weeks
ago with reference to q claim OF the
Anti-Saloon League of America
against the estate of the late Miss
Anna c. Park, which might convey q
wrong impression to one not acquaint
ed with all the facts, and | feel sure
that you will be willing to print the
following statement in the interest of
fair play to all parties concerned.
Miss. Parl7 made the subscription
of $500 for the work of the nationa-
organization in September. 1913, and
paid $50 on it as stated. The secur
ing of this subscription was part
of the regular work of the league IN
preparation for the nation wide cam
paign in behalf of national prohibition.
Whether or not she was at the time
competent to make such IA subscrip-
ton is matter on which different
persons viii of course disagree.
On learning of Miss. Parks death,
NJ. g. kelser. who has charge of that
81, 1an tnf.ly
steps to file with the commissioners
the leagues claim for the unpaid bal
ance of the subscription, just as he
would do in any other similar case,
and as any other business concern
would do
Unfortunately, and through no
fault of his, Mr. Kelser's statement of
the leagues claims did not get into
the hands of the commissioners until
after they had filed their report with
the probate court
No application has been made for .
re-opening of the case. On learning
what the situation was, Mr.. Kelser
wrote to Judge Bennett. asking what
NttHS NOhii III ifNCSSdiN III OiAtA W
reopen it. and received from his full
information of the proper course 10
pursue. But on learning what steps
would be necessary, and how tho
matter was regarded by the commits
sioners and others. it was decided not
to press the claim further.
In an experience covering hundreds
of thousands of dollars, the national
league has never before had a claim
of this sort contested, and had no rea
son to expect it in this case. 1t was
simply business transaction Of an
every day kind. They have no desire
whatever to try TO collect such
claim unless the commissioners cheer
fully and as a matter of equity con
slider that it should be allowed.
Through no fault OF the leagues its
claim was not presented at the pro
per time, and while we do not know
what the result OF a contest would be
the league certainly will not be a
party to any unpleasantness in the
case.
Miss. Park was for many years a
warm friend and hearty supporter of
the league work, and we all honor
her memory. and regret that any i'm
preston should have gone abrotd Of
desire to get something from her es
tate that did not rightfully belong to
MS. The league doesn't do business
that way.
Yours respectfully,
Clifford H. Smith.

Former New Shsron Girl Drives Ma
chine Causing Death.

The Los Angeles (Calif.) Tribune
publishes the following dispatch:
Pasadena, March 2S.-While on her
way to church today Mrs. Eliza Bush
ley, seventy-seyen, widow of the late
owner of the present site of Lamanda
park, lost her life beneath the wheels
of big automobile driven by Miss
Hester Way, COS north Marengo ave-
nue.. According to witnesses, Miss
Way was not to blame, having at
tempted every means at her hand to
avoid collision with the elderly wom-
an, who apparently was unaware OF
the warning note of the horn.
Mrs. Bushley, who lived with a
daughter at the corner of San Pas.
quail avenue and Huntington drive,
was crossing Colorado street at Santa
Anita avenue on her way to teach a
Sunday school class in the Lamanda
Park Methodist church when struck
down by the Way automobile.
In the machine with Miss Way was
the latter's mother, Mrs. George Way.
Mrs. Bushley's husband died seven
teen years ago. He and his wife were
among the earliest pioneers in this
district, AMI for more than two de-
cades were leaders in the social life
of the community.
