EXECUTORS CHARGES UPHELD
BY DISTRICT COURT. .ss


the executors Of the estate compensation
at the rate Of SIS per month, extending
over period Of approximately six years,
is sustained and the two executors,
Herman Held and James Dougher, will
receive the sum of $4,000 each for their
services: The action was an appeal by
Herman Keller, Auguste Keller, Eliza
beth Bevier, Caroline Wilde, Fred J.
Keller and Auguste Kiesling, heirs and
legatees under the will of Jacob Pfennin-
ger, from the order Of the probate court,
allowing and settling the final account
of the two executors above named.
The claims set forth by the appellants
were substantially as follows: That the
fees allowed the executors were excessive,
the probate court having allowed them
81 500 each; also that the amount al
lowed the attorneys was excessive. Other
minor allegations are set forth.
The claims of both the executors and
the attorneys are allosed to stand by: the
order of the court and unless an appeal
is taken to a higher court the claims will
be paid out of moneys still in the hands
of the estate. - 49,:
While the matter was not brought to
the attention Of the court, it is said that
the real reason. for the objection raised to
the payment of the executors fees was
the fact that they were already receiving
a similar compensation as trustees of the
estate under an order from the District
Court from December: 1909, until the
final report was made some time last
year, aggregating something like $4,000
for each of the trustees The same firm
of attorneys also is said to have drawn
considerable sum from the same source,
as shown by the regular annual state
ments filed with clerk of the district court.
The appellants were represented by
the law firm of Larson & Gibbons of
Minneapolis and the executors (trustees)
by the local firm of Somsen, Dempsey &
Mueller.
The action brought by the heirs of
Jacob Pfenninger to reopen the pro-
batting of the will of Mrs. Pfenninger in
order to contest the provisions was dis
missed by the court. The attorneys for
the heirs of Mrs. Pfenninger eontended
that there was not sufficient ground to
reopen the case, the time limit for an
appeal having already expired.
The order of the court in the action
brought by the heirs to contest the pay
ment to the executors of $4,000 each,
rendered last Friday is as follows:

HAS SPLENDID COLLECTION

Distinctive literary style, a certain
whimsicality intermixed at times with
a decidedly poetic vein, and quantities
of information sprinkled throughout
marked the extremely interesting and
entertaining paper on "The Light of
Other Days" read before the Woman IS
alliance Tuesday afternoon by Miss
Matte French, in her home, 624 Prairie
avenue.
To open her paper Miss French con-
fded to her hearers that she has been
a curiophile (if one may coin word)
all her life, and she told the secret in
verse.
And then she launched into her sub
ject and, illustrating with her valuable,
it may be invaluable, collection of
nearly 200 lamps and candle sticks, she
told the story Of how the human family
has lighted itself from the far distant
days when pine knots and guttering
candle flames made congenial envir-
onment for ghosts, hobgoblins and
fairies until now when the glare of the
electrics and the white light of science
have well nigh scared all the romantic
and picturesque out of our lives.
Lamps Prominent in Long Ago.
Nor did she slight single kind of
vehicle of illumination. She paid her
respects to every sort that has ever
lighted the pages of history, not ex-
ceptlng Aladdin s wonderful lamp nor
those of the foolish Virgins, nor the
pitcher lamps of Gideon's army.

joni ". McGrath in Fight; Vic,
Tins Leg Broken.

New York, Mar 29-John w. Nc
Grath, private secretary to Colonel
Roosevelt, known to the colonel and
all other good Progressives as Mac
was sentenced in the court of special
sessions, Brooklyn, to serve thirty
days in the workhouse. With his
cousin, VIM. Powers, who received the
same sentence, he was accused of as
sault in the third degree On Chas.
Lighte, Jr., of Brooklyn. The two pris-
oners spent the night in the Raymond
street Jail and were ordered taken to
ing.
The charges were the result of a
fight in a back room of Brooklyn
saloon On June IL, 1915. McGrath at
all times gave his right name, but
did not let it be known that he was
Colonel Roosevelt's secretary. He did
his loyal best to keep tho colonel's
name out of it," and succeeded for
nearly nine months. In court he was
compelled to give the name Of his en-
plOyef, and TO the amaZemenL OF
everybody except his cousin, John J..
Halpin, he replied Theodore Roose-
welt" AS Lighte, the complainant, had
emerged from the fracas with a brok-
en- leg, that kept him in bed for ten
weeks, Justices Salmon, Garvin ana
Edwards did not give McGrath and
Powers an opportunity of paying a
fine instead of going to jail.
McGrath says he figured only as a
peacemaker.

NURSES SHOW PATRIOTISM.
Kenosha Has Among Its Trained Wo-
men Several Who Will Offer Their
Services to Country.

The ripple of patriotism which ia
turning the thoughts of loyal Aperi-
cans to the movement for sFprepared-
ness and causing women as we'll as
men to bethink themselves of what they
may do in time of war, has reached tho
nurses of Kenosha.
''Several of the nurses, including
myself, - said Miss Ella Sehmutz. IsS
Lemon street, yesterday, "have made
out our application papers fo- member,
ship in the National Red Cross organi-
cation.
Acceptance of these papers brings
the obligation of the enlisted nurse to
be ready to drop her professional en-
gagements on call and hurry to the
front to serve as an army nurse.
Thousands of nurses all over the
United States are offering their servi-
ces to the government in this manner, !"
Miss Schmutz said, "and will be ready
to serve their country when the call
comes, which would be soon after the
declaration of war.
"Only graduate nurses of reputable
training schools who are members of
the Graduate Nurses associations scat
tered through the states are eligible for
enlistment in the Red Cross service at
| present, although in times of stress if
Ia dearth of trained women should oc-
cur, others would doubtless be accepted
just as unframed soldiers are taken bv
the government as soon as the trained
militia is exhausted -
1t is said there are many loyal wo-
men in the nursing profession in Ke-
nosha who will welcome the opportunity
to show their patriotism by joining the
colors.

You should see Willard Carlyle Han

his home, 483 Pomeroy street, yesterday
afternoon, he was sound asleep, and his
extremely wise mother never even
thought of such a thing as allowing
him to be awakened, so the visitor
waited. Soon Willard, winner of the
farmers institute better babies con-
test, aged eight and one-half months,
bestirred himself, stretched his pink
fist lazily into the air, slowly opened
his big round blue eyes, saw a stranger
looking at him and smiled-then he
laughed aloud just glad to be alive
then he stretched-and then he was
awake.

ord of original research and conclusions
from study and bordering over relics
which sic has had access 10, either in
her own collection which is said to be
second to but one in the United States,
or in museums.
Books on lamps and candlesticks are
rare, Miss French said, and she added
that the only book of which she knew
that has been recognized as of great
value on the subject was written re-
Gently in Norwegian and has not yet
been translated.
First Lamp Poetic.
Intertwined in the history of illu-
mination there is much of poetry.
Miss French likes to believe that the
first lamp was invented by beautiful
maiden who went to the seashore and
picked up dainty pink shell with the
dawn tints in it, filed it with fragrant
oil OF the cocoanut, put milkweed
wick In it and lighted it.
Miss French had just such lamp
rugged up to exhibit and she is author
ity for the statement that it will burn.
She said that so short a time ago as
when her own mother was a little girl
the children used to gather milkweed
down in the fall to be used by the
family through the winter nights as
wicks in the chimneyless oil lamps that
were all they had.
Relics of Many Lands.
Miss French s collection of lamps
each item of which has an interesting
story to go with it, contains Greek and
Roman lamps, Judas Maccabeas lamp,
a Venetian bridal lamp, a beautiful
silver Canadian lamp over 200 years
old, dainty and graceful now as when
lit graced the boudoir of some French
lady who had come to the wilds of a
new land; a type of the lamp invented
by Benjamin Franklin; one by Thomas
Jefferson; an old fashioned Betty from
which the Phoebe was developed: a
float lamp made by filling an ornate
glass with part water and part oil and
noatlng l1ghted wick on it held up
by cork; the lamp of the common
people of another day the rule of MAX
ing for which was "a rag for wick,
a penny for sinker and a saucer"

Moreover as they strolled about the

IS collection of engravings of the
