Suit Threatens.
To Wipe Out
Shonts Estate
If Roland r. Conklin Wins
Half of Million He Asks
1nterborough Presidents
Heirs Will Get Nothing
Claims Bus Commissions
Guaranty Trust Protests
Payment of $lOO, 900 to
the Financier's Widow

The affairs of the estate of Theo-
dore P. Shonts, former president of the
lnterborough Rapid Transit Company
were further complicated yesterday
when the Guaranty Trust Company,
temporary administrator, informed Sur
rogate Cohalan that there is. now pend
ing in Nassau County a suit to recover
$l,o00,ooO from Mr. Shonts. If this
action, which was brought by Roland
R. Conkln, is decided in favor of the
plaintiff, the judgment would be added
to claims of about $5OO,OOO already in
cumbcring the estate. If half the
amount sued for is awarded to the
plaintiff, the Shonts holding virtually
will be wiped ou.
Based on Franchises
The suit to which the Guaranty Trust
Company called the attention of Sur
rogate Cohalan grew out of an agree
ment which Mr. Shonts had with Mr.
Conklin by which the latter was to
obtain franchises for the New York
Motor Bus Corporation and the Chi
cago Motor Bus Company. Conklin was
to receive certain remuneration for
this service and besides he was to get
back money expended in the promotion
of the bus companies. In addition,
Conklin says he was to receive GER
tain percentage of the stock.
In defiance of this agreement, Mr.
Conklin alleges, Mr.. Shonts organized
and promoted rival bus companies in
New York and Chicago, financing them
with funds of the marlborough Com
pany.
Widow Asks 100000
The announcement of the pending
suit was made by the trust company
in connection with the petition of Mrs.
Milla d. Shonts, the widow, to compel
the temporary administrator to pay
her 100000 claim against the estate.
This amount represented a loan she
made to her husband, and was acknowl-
edged by him in his will, which made
no other provision for the widow
Mile. Marjorie Siric. a Partisan mil
liner. also asserted claim of $4,000
against the estate The trust company
explained that when the matter was
argued in court last week it had no
knowledge Of the suit brought by Mr.
Conklin. At that time the claims
against the 100000 estate amounted to
100000
1t was also asserted by the trust
company that the Surrogates' Court is
without jurisdiction in the matter of
the claims Of Mrs Shonts and Mile
Sirie, because they failed to file them
with the temporary administrator with
in three months after the filing of the
will. as provided by law. The remedy
of the widow and the mlliner, said the
trust company, was to sue in the Su
preme Court.

Yesterday afternoon the five borough
departments here of the State Depart
ment of Excise were closed because the
last Legislature failed to make an ap-
preparation to maintain them and the
Federal government has taken full
charge of prohibition enforcement and

clerks, men and women, were thrown out
of employment. The only Office in the
state will be that at Albany.
The Manhattan branch of the State
Department of Excise was in charge of

of the old City Board of Excise as an
Office boy in 1895, and was promoted to
chief commissioncrshp in November
1915, succeeding Thomas f. McEvoy
