Of $4,000 to destroy the validity of
trust clause in the will of the late Sen
ator James G. Fair, form the basis of
suit in equity, filed here in the ST.

Gus Fair case.
The plaintiffs are Lieutenant Wesley
+. Crothers and six other nephews and
nieces Of Senator Fair. They demand
an accounting by former Justice Hen

Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt, surviving chill
dren of Senator Fair, of properties and
money estimated at s22,50O,oOo. They
ask decree giving them their shares
of the requests under the invalidated
trust, together with rentals and earn

At the time Of Senator Fairs death,
In 1894 the shares of the plaintiffs
in the estate were estimated as worth
$2,000,000. Mrs. Oelrichs and Mrs.
Vanderbilt have telegraphed their local
lawyers that they will resist the action.
They are said to contend that the plain
tiffs lost their rights when their
parents, acting as guardians, accepted
settlements in their behalf. The ques-
ton of whether a guardian can sign
away the inheritance rights of minor
will be one of the phases of the action.
The final distribution Of the estate

Oelrichs, Mrs. Vanderbilt and Charles

What's ON Arm or q Leo
To q Genuine Athlete i?
Boxers, Without Pummellers and Sprinters, With
Only One Propeller, Vie at Field Day for
Crippled Men

Cali up for the one-legged potato
race!"
The young man with the crutch and
the orange striped sweater was first on
the chalk line, sending an encouraging
glance back over his crutch shoulder
to the laggards, who hobbled across the
gymnasium with the grotesque strides
of those who can manage their new
artificial limb nicely when they keep
cool, but find themselves wabbling in
moments of excitement. However, they
all got there, grinning and breathless,
and the coach, Louis Young, banged
the gong with the stump of his left
arm.
Hey, wait minute!" came shrek
from the corner. "I'll take off one leg
and rum"
So they waited for Felix, the hand
some boy with the dimples and the
laughing eyes, who can get around so
we'll on two artificial limbs that he
can discard one just as easily as not
and race anybody on crutches.
From Beggar to Draughtsman
Felix used to beg on the streets of
Reading, Penn, with the aid of those
same dimples and minus his artificial
limbs. But Miss Florence Sullivan, of
the Red Cross Institute for Crippled
and Disabled Men, found him and per-
sauded him to learn trade. To-day
he is a draughtsman employed by the
Otis Elevator Company.
But to get back to the chalk line.
Sam Lozofsky, he of the orange
sweater and the crutch, leaped away
with the first prize, by using his
crutch like vaulting pole and cover
ing ten feet in one stride.
The gymnasium rang with the
cheers of the strangest sporting au-
dience that New York ever saw-white-
haired men who had hobbled on
new science of sports for cripples
taught them agility; n-yearold boys
dragging their paralyzed legs in heavy
braces, their eyes shining with adj
mration for the crippled sportsmen;
three blind men, smiling wistfully
at the jocund racket of the athletes;
army officers and officials of the Red
Cross Institute, beaming at the prowess
Of their pupils, taking as much pride
in the sporting spirit of the boy who
was afraid to jump, but did, as other
army officers have been of men who
were afraid TO capture a listening post.

None of the large gathering at the
Congregational church Sunday morn
ing will ever forget the service in
honor of the Modern Woodmen dead.
There were 40 NJ. W. A. members
present, the teams from the Derby
and West Charleston camps being in
uniform. The pastor, Rev. w. G. John
son, gave the best M. W. A. memoir
al sermon ever heard here. It was
inspiring and impressive and the trib-
ute to Woodmen, both living and
dead, was beautiful. There was spe-
cial music by the choir and the church
was nicely decorated. At the close
of the service the pastor suggested
that the usual Sunday school service
be omitted and that the entire con-
gregation go with the Woodmen to
the cemetery, where five of their
members sleep. This was done and
on reaching the place the beautiful
memorial service was read by Neigh
Dor Ernest Worboys and prayer was
offered by Rev. Johnson and the M.
W. A. gave the Woodmen Honors to
the dead. The graves were then dec
GRATED with wreaths. The success of

st. Mary's Parish Jubilee Fund.

Sunday evening the attendants of
st. Mary's church were given a spe-
claI treat. Armand Lavergne of Ath-
abasca, P. O., lawyer and an orator.
spoke at length in both English and
French, which he-speaks f1uently. He
spoke on the Achievements of the
Early French Settlers in America -
referring in his remarks to the
ench-Canadians, extolling their
virtues and referring to them as a
law-abiding people, who had no use
for Anarchy or Bolshevism, which is
evidenced in other races in Canada.
While this is one of the prelimin-
airy services to the raising of the
Parish Jubilee fund to pay the debt
on the church, nothing in particular
was said about the debt.

Last week, Tuesday evening, Mrs.
n. v. Jones, Mrs. Pickel and the
small son of Mr.. and Mrs. Harner
PIckel were crossing Bay View street
while Jas. Clelland who had lust
come from the garage, attempted to
turn into Bay View street. A LARGO
car was parked on the corner and
none of the parties saw the other IN
I'll the front wheel of Cleland's car
struck the Piekel boy and passed over
his body. The boy got to his feet
and walked to the sidewalk and fell.
A. ii. West, who was near by, picked
up the boy, carrying him to N. V.
Jones home and the doctor was call
ed. One rib was broken, which was
set and the boy is now gaining rap
idly. Various rumors have been cir
culated concerning the accident, even
to the extent of naming another auto
lst as the party driving.
Mr.. Cleland is a returned Canadian
soldier, located at Newport as an Off
Ger of the Canadian customs and he
feels very badly over the accident, al
though Mrs. Jones states no blame
can be attached to him.

Fred Waldo Carr.

News of the death of Fred Waldo
Carr came as shock to his large
circle of friends and acquaintance.
Bright's disease and heart trouble
were the cause of his death Saturday,
May "a.
Mr.. Carr was the son of Martin and
Margaret (Howe) Carr, and was born
in Lunenburg, Sept. %, 1855. His
childhood days were spent in the
town of his birth, and while yet in his
teens, he with his parents, moved to
ST. Johnsbury, where he completed
his public school education and grew
to manhood, entering the employ of
the Fairbanks company. During his
early manhood he married Miss En-
ma Elliott, whose death occurred af-
ter about seven years of welded life.
On December %, 1898, he was unit
ed in marriage to Miss Gertrude Keir.
| This union was blessed by the three
children, who came to brighten the
home, Mabelle L., now Mrs. Edward
B. Jones of Newport Center, Freda j.
and Jay Adnah still in the home
Mr.. Carr entered business with his
brother-in -law, II. A. Keir, at Ian
caster, n. H, remaining there for one
year, coming from there to Newport
in November, 1898, having purchased
s.
which he owned at the time of his
death, this business having enlarged
from one-man shop to a business
which required the services of six or
seven men.
Socially, Mr.. Carr was, to a great
degree, retiring in his makeup, the
/. o. o. F., being the only order to
which he belonged. His home, how
ever, was where he could be most APP
preciated, where the visitor was al
ways made to feel the sincere well
come which he always so cheerfully
extended. Generosity was indeed to
him a virtue and pleasure, as church
and various benevolent and charitable
institutions always received his sup
port.
The funeral, which was held at his
late home on Tuesday afternoon, was
attended by a large number of
friends, including the business men
of the city, who out of respect for the
deceased had closed their places of
business during the hour of service.
This with the large display of flowers
spoke mutely of the esteem in which
he was held. The funeral was con-
Quoted by the Rev. H. T. Coontz,
pastor of the First Methodist Epis-
copal church. Rev. Joseph Hamilton
of Randolph, a former pastor and
close friend of the family was pres
ent and also spoke words of comfort
to the bereaved friends.
The remains were laid to rest in
the family lot in Pine Grove ceme-
terry. A large number of out-of town
people attended the funeral.
