Valley City Lady Shares Vast
Philadelphia Estate With Heirs

That Mrs. Edwin A. Jacobson, of
Tenth avenue, is entitled to good
sized share in seven hundred mil
lion dollar estate in Philadelphia is
the opinion of some of the best legal
talent in the United States. The
Times-Record has known of this fact
for some months, but Mrs. Jacobson's
aversion to publicity has prevented
the fact being made known. E
On her mothers side Mrs. Jacobson
is descendant of Col. Jacob Baker
who fought in the Revolutionary army
Col. Baker held much property in Phil
adelphia which he leased for SO years.
This property is now estimated to be
worth $700,000,000 and forms the es-
tate which the heirs now desire to OBJ
tain and divide, the leases having re-
Gently run out. For some months in
vestigations have been under way
and tangible results may be forthcom-
ing soon. @
The following article from De-
troit, Mich, daily paper tells some.
thing Of the story:
william F. Chase, of Detroit, will
lead the descendants of Col. Jacob
Baker of the Revolutionary army in
their fight to secure and divide the
estate which the colonel is said to
have left under 99-year leases, and
which on the expiration of the leases
is now asserted to be worth $7O0,0OO,-
900.
The Baker descendants who assem-
bled in Detroit Tuesday appointed a
committee headed by Mr.. Chase, who
had first been chosen by the 400 rela-
tives present as chairman. Messrs
House and Dietz, other Baker de-
scendants, will assist Mr.. Chase.
"This committee has authority from
the Bakers Of the United States and
Canada to sift and collate all the rec
ords OF the family. Then they are to
go to Pennsylvania and learn about
parcels of land included in the estate.
On one Of these parcels a "test case"
is to be made in court.
"A fund will be raised sufficient to
cover the necessary expenses of this
plan.
1.-THE appointment of the committee
came after an all-day debate, in which
the widest disagreement on family
traditions, was shown. There were
even some who cast doubt on the ex-
istence of the estate. There were
still more who thought the securing of
the estate would prove almost insuper-
able.
"One striking fact about the disa.
greements was that men who had
studied for years on the subject, in
Canada or Ohio or Michigan, did not
come to the same conclusions. For
time it looked as if the assembly
OF Bakers would break up without
conclusive action. But the lawyers of
the family insisted on some united and
decisive course, and the appointment
OF the committee was finally voted"

Burl Carr Makes
Remarkable Run

Ye old tyne politicians will have to
take their hats off to Burl Carr, who
won the nomination for representa-
tive from the Fifteenth legislative dis.
trict, which includes the city of Val
ley City and % precincts in the north.
western part of Barnes county.
The complete count, although not Of
fetal, gives Carr 507, Harper 493,
Trubshaw 297. This leaves Carr a
plurality of IA votes.
The fact that Mr.. Carr was in a
three-cornered fight and also that one
of the candidates was from Valley City
makes his victory all the more i'm
pressive. He not only ran well in the
city and villages, but corraled a good
share of the farmer vote.
His friends are congratuulating him
on his successful campaign, and it is
the general opinion that if he is elect
ed at the fall election .he will be a
creditable and worthy representative.
