MUST FILE AN ACCOUNTING.
Administrator Ordered to Meet
Nephew's Demand.

Townsend P. Smith. 1868 Olinville
avenue. The Bronx, made application
yesterday to Surrogate Cohalan for an
order compelling his uncle, Cornelius S.
Pinkney, a lawyer with offices in the
Woolworth Building, to make an ac-
counting of the estate left by Mrs.
Emma Louise Pinkney, the petitioners's
grandmother. Pinkney is the admins
traitor.
Smith states that he waited nearly
six years after the death of his grand
mother for his share of the estate
which he believed to be worth approx
mately 100000 When he asked Pink
ney for an accounting, he asserts, he
was informed that his grandmother had
died a bankrupt and that her estate
Is hopelessly insolvent
The plaintiff charges that Pinkney
thus far has failed to file an account
ing with the Surrogate or with the State
Transfer Tax Appraiser. While this was
admitted by Pinkney his counsel argued
that the reason why the omission was
made was that II was aimed to keep
from the public the fact that Mrs. Pink
ney was penniless.
Surrogate Cohalan signed an order
directing Pinkney to file the accounting
within twenty days.

l5c Sugar in 1920;
Wilson Is Blamed

Philadelphia, Nov. 1S.-Coincident
with the beginning of new dispute
over present retail prices of sugar.
due to imports from the Louisiana
crop, sugar refiners in this city pre-
dicted yesterday that prices to the
consumer early next year must go
to thirteen and perhaps fifteen cents.
Congressional records produced by
the refiners and by others who have
been in close touch with the Unit
ed States sugar equalization board,
show that President Wilson was re-
sponsible for the failure to keep
down the price of the 1920 crop.
These records, published by a Sem
ate subcommittee on agriculture.
show that the President refused to
ask Congress to authorize the sugar
equalization board to continue oper-
ating in 1920, although Cuban grow
ers, backed by their government, Of
fered to sell the entire 1920 crop at
a fair, noncompetitive price.
