SEEKS TEMPORARY
ADMINISTRATION OF
L.L. RYAN ESTATE
Wife'S Councils Says She Needs
Monthly Allowance Under
Separation Agreement.

Mrs. Mamie Morse Ryan. widow Of
Joseph J. Ryan, son OF Thomas
Fortune Ryan, who Is contesting the
will by which her husband cut her
or with 800, to-day asked surro-
gate James A. Foley to appoint a
temporary administrator OF her hus-
bands estate pending the outcome Of
the trial The Court was informed
that close tabulation shows the
value OF Mr.. Ryan's estate 70 be
$4,000. Mrs. Ryan had estimated
the value at 100000.
Attorney Richard H. Clarke, repre- o.
senting Mrs. Ryan, declared that
Mortimer l. Shuford. the lawyer who
drew Mr.. Ryan's will, should not be
appointed administrator as he was
legatee under the will, a friend
Of Miss Dorothy Lucille whiteford.

estate, and was, therefore hostile to
the interests Of herself and children.

said He asserted that his client was

her husband under a separation agree
ment To insure this allowance, he
said, It was necessary to appoint an
administrator imme mediately.
Attorney Joseph A Fangant, for the
other side, said that Mr.. Ryan's e.
tate consisted of two t25, 900 life in
surance policies, and old Stutz cai
wirth $500, a one-ffth interest in the
estate OF his mother, a gold watch
and a stick pin. He also said thai

a settlement, Mrs. Ryan would apply

INQUIRED ABOUT HIS FAVoRITE
MAGAZINE, "NIPPY BITS"

When l read this last statement
decided it might be true. for to live
in Chicago at all, one must have the
iron constitution of an army mule or
an army tank. And visitors usually
manage to escape before the vital
spark becomes entirely extinct.
1t is, / suppose, impossible to say
anything new about the smoke nu-
sance in Chicago. Such a thing as a
perfectly original oath probably does
not exist. Tne IaSt new joke about
Chicago laundry bills must have been
made at least ten years ago; even
mentioning them TO a Chicagoan of
the present Is as tactless as remind
ing a San Franciscan of "the earth
quake instead Of "the fire"
But it is so charming an experience,
it gives one such a happy impression
of Spotty Town, to go to bed at night
with n clean face and wake up in the
morning with SCOT streaks on ones s
nose; to push up a window and ruin
ones white gloves; to make sure one
is speckless before interviewing a 10.
cal Great Man. and then to find a
black smudge above ones left eye
brow Just before leaving his sanctum:
to discover SCOT in the heart of the
beautiful butter rose served one a,
breakfast. If cleanliness indeed be
next to godliness, then as far as the
