Element announced, James r. Dechert,
who served as a lieutenant in France,
will receive $125,00O as his share Of the

though his uncle, De Witt y. Flana-
gan, formerly congressman from New
Jersey and original promoter Of the
Cape Cod canal, Incorporated his
share of $4,000 In his grandmoth-
er's estate.
The settlement under which the pay.
ment is to be made by his aunt, Mrs.
Gertrude E. Shannon of 121 Madison
avenue, follows the report Of John
Quinn, named In 1915 as referee to
hear objections by Lieutenant Dechert
In the accounting by Mrs. Shannon,
and Mr.. Flanagan, his uncle, as execu-
tors under his grandmother's.w will.
Takes Testimony Two Years.
Mr.. Quinn took testimony in the case
for two years in order to determine the
accountability of Mrs. Shannon for the
acts of her brother, and finally de-
cided that the decisions in similar
cases compelled him to hold that both
Mrs. Shannon and Mr.. Flanagan
should account for Lieutenant Dech.
ert's $113000. with interest since
1905.
Counsel for Mrs. Shannon objected
to the liability ruling against her on
the ground that she had acted innO-
Gently and had been guilty only Of
blind trust In her brother, but before
the attorneys for Lieutenant Dechert
had presented a decree to the surro-
gate directing the payment Of the $113.-
600 with IL years interest, overtures
for settlement were made, and as
result of the acceptance by her nephew
of her offer Of about $125,000 the pro-
ceedings will he dropped.

Mr.. Quinn's report states that Lieu
tenant Dechert's mother, Lillian F.
Dechert, died in Connecticut in 1893,
and named Flanagan, her brother, cs
executor under her will and guardian
Of her son. The referee states that
he meyer qualified as the guardian Of
his nephew in New York and had no
authority to receive property here as
his guardian.
The accounting Of the executors to
which Lieutenant Dechert objected
was filed in 1915, and stated that the
entire residuary estate Of Mrs. Flana-
gan had been distributed in 1905 among
four beneficiaries each Of whom was
entitled to $4,000. The share allot-
ted to Lieutenant Dechert consisted of
mortgages for $4,000, $4,000 and $780,
600 respectively. Mrs. Shannon joined
in this accounting.

Petroleum In Mexican Lake.

For hundreds Of years Mexican In
dams had horror of what they called
the pest spot Of Lake Chapala, near
the shore at Tizapan. They would not
battle in it or sail around it. declaring
that the water was oily. Then, after
a time. they cautiously began to paint
wooden boats with this oil, which
proved so effective in keeping out the
water that it became the general Gus
tom to use it. They did not know that
this was petroleum gushing up through
the water-a magnificent flow, about
two miles out in the lake, which to
this day gushes apparently without
varying. When the water Is low
petroleum floats in solid masses, each
large globule weighing about 25
pounds.
