MUHLENDORF
PROPERTY TO
GO TO U. S.?
Bulk of Estate Bequeathed to
Aliens in Germany Comes
Under Trading With Enemy
+ Act -...e#

A petition for the probate Of the
will Of the late Paul MuhIendorf
was filed in circuit court this aft
ernoon by the Bishop Trust Co..
which is named executor. The
personal property, consisting
largely of stocks and bonds, is
valued at about $780, 900, while the
real estate is valued at about
$4,000. -. -.
The heirs at law are four sisters
and one brother, all residing in
Germany. The devisees and leea-
tees are Anita A. Focke, James E.
Jaeger, Georg Rodiek, William
Lang, Salvation Army girls home, :
Leahi home, Germa- Benevolent
Society, Catholic Benevolent IN
ion and the Associated Charities.
That much of the property Of the
late Paul Muhlendorf, German alien
who for many years was associated
with the firm of Allen & Robinson,
may pass into the hands of the United
States government for the period of
the war, under the trading with-the-
enemy law, is seen in an announce
ment by attorneys that number of
the devisees and legatees under the
will are alien enemies now residing
in Germany.
Under the g-with-the-enemy
act it is provided that no property or
money shall in any way be trans
mitted from the United States to Ger
many or to countries where it might
become of assistance to Germany.
From the fa-1 that much of the estate
is left to persons now residing in Ger
many, that portion will have to be
retained, turned over to the custodian
of alien prop rty. Begatees and de-
visees residing in the territory or in
mainland United States, however, will
not be affected by the law. ..."
Interested attorneys estimate that
the Muhlendorf estate is worth be-
tween 100000 and 100000, and this
a piece of property on Tan
talus valued at about $4,000. 1t is
believed that the balance of the es-
tate, after the local phases have been
settled, will pass to sc custodian
appointed by the federal government,
to be distri' tied after the war. As
yet, the government has not appointed
a custodian FOR Hawaii. -

REPORT ON INTERMoUNTAIN r.,
l.. & p. co.
Public Utilities Commission Files Its
Report on Investigation of Elec-
trio Prices in Lamar

The state public utilities commits
sion has filed its report on the in
vestigation conducted last summer Of
rates for light and power in Lamar as
charged by the Intermountain r., l..
& p. Co. The findings seem to be in
the nature of compromise but in a
large measure sustain the contentious
of the company as regards to the
prices they have been charging here.
The commission found that the total
value of the Lamar plant was $139,oJJ
and that the revenues for last year
were S29,37O.59! the expenses were
S22, 2,652.71; leaving a balance of &c.
717.SS. The net profit of the steam
heating system was S2,160.26; making
the total amount available for divi-
dends and surplus $8,s7S.14. If all
was used for dividends it would pay
six per cent. The commission found
this was not excessive and consequent
ly refused to make any material re-
ductions in the rates charged. The
following schedule was ordered made
for the present, the principal reduc-
tions being in the minimum charges
and city lighting:
Commercial Lighting-Rates run
from ID cents per kilowatt for first
20 kilowatts used to cents for con-
sumption in excess of 500 l1ilowatts;
discount per cent if paid by 10th Of
following month. Minimum charge,

G,OO0 kilowatts. Minimum charge,

FATAL ACCIDENT
Mr.. and Mrs. W. A. Young of Bristol
Collide with Santa Fe Freight
Train

Last Thursday afternoon as Mr.. and
Mrs. W. A. Young of Bristol were on
their way home from a business trip
to Lamar they approached the cross
ing of the Santa Fe railroad about
three miles east of town at a moder-
ate speed. Mr.. Young saw no train
approaching from the east and think
ing none was coming from the west
attempted to make the crossing. As
he got on the track he saw the fast
freight, No. 32, from the west almost
upon them and in his excitement put
his foot on the brake and stopped the
car on the track. The engine cut the
car half in two and threw Mrs.
Young nearly fifty feet into a cattle
guard. Mr.. Young was thrown out but
not so severely. The train stopped
as quickly as possible and the section
men were already on the scene rem
dering all the assistance they could.
The unfortunate couple were at once
brought to Lamar to Dr. Burnett's
office, where their wounds were at
tended to and then taken to the La
mar hospital. Mrs. Young lived sew
eral hours, but never recovered full
consciousness. Mr.. Young, although
suffering a number of severe cuts
and bruises and a dislocated hip, is
rapidly recovering now. The body of
Mrs. Young was shipped on Friday to
st. Johns, Kansas, for interment in
the family cemetery. Mr.. and Mrs.
Young were old time and highly re-
spected residents of Bristol. They had
lust recently purchased a fine large
REQ car, which was so badly wrecked
as to be fit for nothing but kindling
wood Their son, who recently en-
listed in the army, was granted a fur
Tough and has been here with his
father for a few days.

Don't Burn the Leaves

The burning of autumn leaves is a
wastofJI practice as everybody aalws
and yet we keep on doing ytar after
year, In this way something like
fin million pounds of valuable fer
tilizor is lost to the world in this
country alone. The utilization Of the
leaves for manure is one of the phases
of cons servation which has hardly been
considered by the people. The thought
less destruction Of this fertilizer aris-
ing from the docaying leaves should
be checked at once as their careful
use would give far-reachiug results
not only in improving the fertility Of
our agricultural lands, but in the
protection and improvement Of trees,
shrubs and vines. The leaves con
stitute natures oyeTcoat and we are
burning the most of it without even
returning the potash to the SOIL

Worlds Series

The great sporting event of the
season is now under way-the fight
for the worlds championship in base
ball between the winners of the two
big leagues, the Chicago White Sox
and the New York Giants. 1t is al
ready certain that it will be the long
est series since 1912 when Boston and
New York had to play eight games TO
reach decision. This series will go
six games and may go seven or more.
The first two games were played in
Chicago on Saturday and Sunday and
were won by the White Sox by scores
of 2 to l and Z TO 2 respectively. They
then moved to New York and rain
stopped the Tuesday game. On We'd

sailors and the civilian units attached
to the army in Europe observe closely
the following directions:
l. Mails to reach the soldiers in
France by Christmas morning must be
posted not later than November IS.

3. Every parcel must be so packed
and wrapped as to admit of easy in
spection by the postmaster. No parcel
will be dispatched to France which
has not the postmaster's certificate
that it contains no prohibited articles.
Make Small Parcels-owing to the
great demand on transportation
space, patrons are urgently requested
to make their packages as small as
possible-preferably not to exceed 10
pounds in weight-as smaller parcels
will have to be given preference in
shipment, in order to accommodate the
greatest number of persons.
