Charging that Mrs. Mlla d. Shonts,
widow of Theodore P. Shonts, presi-
dent of the Interborough. practiced
gross deception on the court when she
had herself appointed temporary ad-
ministratrix of her husbands estate.
De Lancey Nicoll. one Of the execu-
tors, obtained from Surrogate Fowler
yesterday an order directing Mrs.
Shonts to show cause on Tuesday, why
the letters Of administration granted
to her should not be revoked. The
order was served on Mrs. Shonts. Mr..
Nicoll asked in his petition that the
executors, who, beside himself, are the
Guaranty Trust Company and f. J..
Berwind, chairman Of the board of the
lnterborough, be appointed temporary
administrators.
In her petition to the court on Thurs
day asking for appointment, Mrs.
Shonts said she had searched for a
will left by her husband, but had been
unable to find it. and that she had been
Informed that her husband "had tried"
TO make will i'll which "a certain
woman" was the principal beneficiary.
It has since developed that on Septem-
per "a Cornelius J. Sullivan, attorney

Friday. in which Mrs. Amanda C..
Thomas. re ferred to as "my friend" is
the reslduary legatee, TO the practical

patton in the estate.
Deception Is Charged
at appears from the petition of De
Lancey Nicoll." reads the order Of Sur
rogate Fowler, signed yesterday, "that
the order granting temporary ad-
ministration was obtained as the re-
sult Of the practice of deception upon
1hls court by the said Milla D. Shonts,
and as the result Of the violation Of an
understanding between the attorneys
of all parties interested in the de-
cedent's estate"
1he agreement referred TO by Sur
rogate Fowler was that no steps were
TO be taken in court with regard to the
estate or the will until Mr.. Shonts's
daughter. The odora, DLchesse de Chaul-
nes, arrived here from Paris

unaware of the contemplated noove by
Mrs. Shonts to apply Tor letters Of ad-
ministretion. The letter also indicates
that the attorneys interested have been
trying to prevent litigation over the
will. Mr.. Menken said that his first
knowledge of the step taken by the
widow came to him from {. news paper
reporter on Thursday evening. He also
wrote: "In view Of the willingness Of
yourself and Judge Shearn. represent
ing Mrs. Thomas. TO aid me in my ef-
forts to prevent litigation. am mora

Farmer is Getting

Fort Worth, Teg, Sept. 2.-What
i sdeclared to be better than an oil
we'll is Concession" seized, en-
forced or imposed-whatever term
one prefers-by farmer in the Des-
demona oil field, according to George
Bryant. who has just returned here
from the field.
"The best paying proposition in the
field" says Bryant, "is controlled by
a farmer who owns lands fronting
on the road between Ranger and
Desdemona. The road is impossible
at this point, and all vehicles passing
that way must make a detour thru
the farmers property. He has a
regular toll gate, and taxes all
vehicles 80 cents each for passing
over his land. AS more than 100
trucks and other vehicles pass that
way each day, the farmer is "get-
ting his" out of the oil game without
any investment"

Gjpsy l-anuuaQe.

The language of the Gipsies, Ro
many, is said to be Hindoo dialect
derived from Sanskrit EthnologiSts
pretty we'll agree that the Gipsies are
descendants Of an obscure Eindoo
tribe. The popular belief that Gipsies
are descendants Of the Egyptians has
no otter basis than the similarity OF
the two words. The word "GipSy" rs Il
matter Of fact, Is from the Bohemian,
and means "vagabond." The first Clip
sizes appeared In England early in the
sixteenth century, but were found in
eastern Europe at least two centuries
earlier. They are now scattered all
over the world

that these farmer boys returning from

stitutions of the country will have a
similar effect on their people regard
ing the proposed amendment.
1t is his belief that there will be an
average of more than two boys from
each parish. since Superintendent
Harris is to assume the responsibility
for their welfare on the entire trip,
besides the people of Louisiana are
deeply in sympathy with educational
and agricultural development and
know that their boys will learn a
good deal on the proposed trip.
The Greater Agricultural College
Association will lend its aid p the
State Department of Education in
arousing interest thruout the State in
the trip.
The first parishes to respond to
Superintendent Harris circular letter
sent out on the subject were St. Lam
dry and Lafayette, citizens of both
these parishes giving assurance OF
their sympathy with the project by re-
turn mail.
