 will was dated prior to July 1 and Mclean died in June. After prohi- bitiou arrived Mrs. Mclean, as ad- Ilinstrix of the estate, ordered the cafe at the Seaside hotel closed. due to the high rental they were paying and her belief that no money would be nade on selling 2.75 per cent beer.
 Howard k. Mclean has now brought suit against the estate for damages which he claims he incurred when the saloon was closed, due to his half interest in the estate. as he sad they would have made money had they continued to operate. He mas engaged Judge Frank l.. Wilder to care for his interests.
 Owing to the prohibition law now Tn force Judge Miller is powerIess from the standpoint of the federal au- thorities to grant a court order selling Inc stock of liquors and he is also foWerless to order a sale from the probate laws as there are other inter- ests with which bills may be paid. This was a specific beouest and rL, law states that no specific bequest may be sold to satisfy the estates claims until all other means have been exhausted. The value of the entire estate is SIS. .41941.
 Mrs Mclean alleges that Mclean has taken whisIIey and wines from the store and made no record of them and she is asking damages for this alleged liberty. Mclean on the other hand has filed a bill against the estate for over S1.1OO for ser vices and this Mrs. Mclean has dis allowed
 At the hearing before Judge Mil Ter this morning Judge Wilder re- fused to allow the sale of the saloon property on any grounds as he claims he would be hurting his clients interests in the case for dam ages which he claims he has brought II the business had been continued.
 Judge Miller cannot permit the sale until after Jan. s, even if the heirs would allow it, as the wartime act may be lifted by President Wilson and this would allow the estate to sell the liquors legally and make a hand some profit
 If the wartime law is not lifted Judge Mtiler's only solution seems l., be to divide the stock of Liuuors equally between the heirs and then let them do what they will with 1t. Mrs. Mclean it is understood. is will ing to sell the cafe interests now but 1t is forbidden by the other heir.
 As far is is known this is the first time in the history of prohibition where the wartime act has prevented the settlement of the estate and caus- ed any such tangle as this.
