TAKEN CARE OF BY TIE FUND

]. A. Sullivan, chairman of the
"Smileage Camaign" committee which
has been active in supplying Smile
age Books" to the soldiers who have
left Wausau, has sent out letter,
thanking those who have contributed
to this fund and assuring them that
they had thereby added to the happi-
ness of the boys at camp. Mr.. Sulli-
van also gives out the information
that it will not be necessary to keep
up the monthly contributions, mas
much as the Marathon War Fund had
taken over this work on the 1st of
September. Mr.. Sullivan says: "The
officers tell us that this is one os the
activities at camp which the boys
highly appreciate. We have many nice
letters from the boys located at the
various camps expressing their ap-
preciation for the Smileage Books,
which have been sent to them

FRATERNITIEs WORTH WHILE

Another incident has happened since
our last issue that goes to show that
it pays to be a member of some Fra
teTnal organization. When war was
declared and a great number of the
members of the Fraternal Order of
Eagles gave up their civil duties to
take up the defense of our country,
the members who were left at home
decided that the loved ones whom
these members left behind should
have some material protection in case
that the father or son was compelled
to pay the supreme sacrifice; therefore
fund was created into which each
member contributed the modest sum
of ten cents per month and when TAX
en- as a whole the large fund of over
100000 dollars is created and out
of which the sum of one thousand dol
lars is paid to the beneficiary of these
dear ones.
Last week Mr.. Patrick Burns, father
of James Burns received this gratuity
and the check for Otto Melang's par
ents is expected to be here any day.
Would that every one of our boys,
who are now fighting the big fight
were a member of some such organic
alton.

Banker Declares
John Sites Also Asserts
Estate Is Worth at Least
$130,0OO,00o
Especial Dispatch to The T,1buao)

LEXINGTON, KY. May 5.-The con-
test over the inheritance tax alleged
to be due from the estate of Mrs.
Robert w. Bingham will come up in
court again this week Attorneys for
the state will seek to compel John
Sites, president of the Louisville
Trust Company. to name the persons
on whose information he based his
valuation of the estate at $13O,0O0,00O
to $150,000,000. They also will seek
information concerning necklace for
which Mrs. Bingham is said to have
paid 100000, and which was not m
ventoried.
Mr.. Sites statements concerning
the Bingham estate were made to
Robert G. Gordon, of counsel for the
state. at hearing in the Office of G..
W. Harding inheritance tax appraiser.
Says He Saw Necklace
Statement by the witness was that
his opinion as to the extent of the
by persons who were in a position to
speak authoritatively and others who
spoke on hearsay. Mr.. Sites said
that two days after Mrs. Bingham's
death last July he saw the 100000
necklace. He refused to make known
the identity either of his informants
as to the value of the estate or the
persons in whose possession he says
he saw the jewelry. Helm Bruce,
counsel for the Fidelity and Columbia
Trust Company, administrator, asked
Mr.. Sites to name the persons. The
Louisville Trust Company originally
Sites said he gathered much in
formation while in New York in Sep
tember.
Another fact stated by the witness
was that while in New York he
learned Mrs. Bingham had S1,358, ,293 .38
on deposit in the Guaranty Trust
Company at the time of her death.
Brokers' Made Estimates
Regarding the Florida East Coast
Railway Company, one Of the larger
properties in Mrs. Bingham's estate,
Sites said he had made some inquiry,
but never an investigation. Brokers
in New York, he said, and men who
ought to know told him that the
stock would "sell from par to 3 to ], -
while others said it would sell for
less than par. Those who placed the
stock at the higher figure said three
rallroads, the southern, the Louis
vile e. Nashville and the Atlantic
Coast Line wanted to get possession
of the Florida East Coast Railway.
Sites said that he knew nothing
regarding the actual valuation or
revenue of the Florida railway.
Mrs. Ida Remley, for sixteen years
housekeeper for Mrs. Bingham, said
that she was familiar with Mes.
Bingham's Jewels, having handled
them, but did not know of "million
dollar necklace" She promised to
render statement Of money. which
she had on hand for housekeeping
expenses at the time of Mrs. Bing-
hams death.
