WILLIAMS ESTATE
ASKS TO MAKE LOAN

A second court action resulting from
the recent failure of the Farmers Bank
of Milton has been instituted in the
petition filed with Judge w. A. Bond
by Carl T. Williams and Paul 7. Cald-
we'll, as executors of the estate of the
late Albert E. Williams, a Washington
township farmer. for an order to bor-
row $4,000 in the furtherance Of their
trust. The petition has been approved
by the court.
1t was represented to the court that
the loan was made necessary by rea-
son OF the fact that the funds of the
estate, amounting to s1,S00, were on
deposit at the Farmers Bank and could
not be withdrawn until the receiver
for the bank was prepared to make
settlement. 1t was stated in the peti-
ton that it was problematical" when
the receiver will be enabled to pay the
estates funds to the executors.
Under the provisions of Williams
will, Mrs. Flora B. Williams, the
widow, is to be paid one-third of the
annual net income derived from the
farm of $50 acres, the payments to be
made semi-arnually and in no event
to be less than $500 per year.
In their petition the executors state
tudt d payment 10 ho" uuC " tho
widow and that the inheritance tax
p,ust also be paid. 1t is also stated
that funds are required at this time
for the operation of the farm, for the
making of necessary repairs and fol
the payment of general taxes. To
meet these obligations the executors
asked authority to make a loan OF
$4,000.
Last week the receiver of the Farm
ers bank filed suit to collect a claim
Of $3,161.75, alleged to be due on a
promissory note said to have beer
executed by Williams. The executors
of the Williams estate disallowed the
claim on the ground that the note In
question was fraudulent.

VOLUNTEERS WANTED
TO HELP OUT G. A. R,

Richmond veterans of the Civil war
are anxious to attend the G. A. r.
national encampment to be held at
Indianapolis, Sept. %. But they may
be unable to do so.
All of the veterans are old; most
of them are feeble. Indianapolis will
be crowded and hot. They feel they
can not go over, take their chances
in the crowded city. and march in the
grand parade on Sept. %, much as
they would like it.
Therefore, owners of automobiles
are asked to place their cars and driv
ers at the disposal of the veterans
for that day
The G. A R. men wish to go over
in the morning. ride in the parade
and come back in the evening. Any
auto owner who can spare his car for
the day is asked to call the Palladiur,
and any veteran who wishes to go tC
indianapolis in that way is also asked
to call

MAY PROHIBIT SPEED
FIENDS FROM DRIVING,
AS A PUNISHMENT

With the end in view of discourag-
ing the general practice OF operating
motor vehicles within the city in ex-
cess Of the speed limit, which prac-
tice resulted in another fatal injury
last week, the board of public works
at its meeting Monday adopted a reso-
luton introduced by John E. Peltz.
The resolution provides that the
board recommend to the city council
an amendment to the motor traffic
ordinance which would prohibit any
one convicted Of a violation Of that
ordinance from operating motor
vehicle for a certain number of days,
the prohibitory period to be increased
with each subsequent conviction
The board ordered the advertise
ment of bids for construction of a
new wall in the boiler house of the
Richmond Municipal plant. This wall
has been in a bad state Of repair for
by a fire in one of the plant coal pits
last week. There is pending before
council an ordinance appropriating
$12,500 for a new wall and roof at the
plant boiler house.
Don't Understand Parking Zone
Several Main street merchants ap-
peared before the board and explained
that many people did not understand
about the parking OF cars within the
safety zones at Eighth and Main
streets. They said the signs did not
show whether parking was prohibited
without or within the safety zones.
The board promised to make the
warning signs more explicit.
The board allowed a coal bill of S.
93374 contracted by the municipal
plant and submitted by the Smith, Os-
born Coal Sales company.

M'SWEENEY BEYOND
HELP; BELFAST RIOTS
ARE The WORST YET

LONDON, Aug. 30.-The hunger
strike of Terence MacSweeney, lord
mayor of Cork, has progressed so far
that he is in such condition that even
if he took food now it would do him
no good, according to a statement by
the Brixton prison doctor to Mac
Sweeney's wife, who visited her hus-
band this morning.
Mayor McSweeney is said to be
even more gravely i'll than at last re-
ported and a change for the worst
may come at any time in the next "a
hours. Mrs. MacSweeney remained
with her husband for three hours.
She said he was conscious and recog-
nized her, but was una BILE to speak.
Mrs MacSweeney was pale and bore
evident signs of the terrible strain.
Today's rioting was said by the po
lice to be the worst Belfast has yet
seen. Up to one o'clock this after
noon it was definitely known that four
dea tbs had occurred as a result Of the
disorders.
These included Grace Orr, young
woman, who was shot when troops
opened fire to clear a street in the
Unionist quarter. Numerous persons
with bullet wounds were admitted to
the Royal Victoria and Mater hos
pitals.
Further grave developments are
apprehended. Shipyard employees who
were unarmed were on their way to
work at $50 o'clock this morning
when they were attacked, it is
charged by the police, by Sim Fein
ers, and shooting soon began.
Soldiers arrived soon after the dis
order commenced apd, assuming a
firing position across the street, gave
the crowd three minutes to clear the
thoroughfare. Most of the people fled
to cover.
At an early hour this morning other
disorders occurred in the neighbor
hood of Ewarts Row, a Unionist quar-
ter, which was attacked by Sim Fein
ers yesterday morning. Shops were
wrecked, and to clear the streets the
troops opened fire from an armored
car.
Falls Head. which traverses Joseph
Devlin's political division, was sim
mering this morning. Great excite
ment also prevailed in other affected
areas and crowds were assembling
during the early forenoon.
