J p. MQUAIDE'S HEIRS
WILL GET $95, 900 FUND
Fight Fails to Halt Distribu-
fi0n of Estate.

Supreme Court Justice Martin denied
yesterday the application OF Mrs. Laura
Moore O'Hanlon. ancillary executrix Of
the will of James P. McQuaide for a
permanent injunction restraining Ed
ward 8. Perot, surviving trustee of a
trust deed created in 1915 by Mr.. Nc
Quaide, from distributing $4,000
balance on hand from the fund to Nc
Quaides four children-Mrs Gabrielle
McQuaide Roome, Mrs. Isabelle p.
Hopes. James p. McQuaide and Sophie
Florence de Bons In the event that
the court had granted the injunction
the share of the children would have
been reduced from about $4,000 each
to not more than $4,000 or $4,000 each.
as the executrix would have received
the whole sum and most of 1t would
have been used to make up deficiencies
in Mr.. McQuaides estate in England,
where he died.
Justice Martin held that no evidence
warranted the plaintiffs allegation that
Mr.. McQuaide was OF unsound mind
when he created the trust deed. Mr..
McQuaide was one of a group of Pitts
burgh iron and steel men who became
immensely wealthy through the forma-
ton of the United States Steel Corpora
ton. Mrs. O'Hanlon represented Mrs.
Gertrude Reynolds McQuaide North,
former dancer. and McQuaide's second
wife, who became executrix OF the steel
mans estate after a court fight with
his first wife. Mrs Sarah Sidebotham

SURPLUS GROCERIES
NEARLY EXHAUSTED
Consumers Are Advised Not
to Buy Quantities and Store
Up for Future.

Prices for groceries have dropped as
far as they are going to, but consumers
are advised not to buy in large quanti-
ties and store up for the future, because
If they do prices will shoot away up.
That is tho view OF Philip de Puyt Of
Rochester. president of the Newe York
State Retail Grocers Association. which
Is holding a convention at the Hotel
Margaret in Brooklyn. In an inter-
view yesterday he said:
AN idea of existing conditions may
be gathered from the situation in the
canned goods market. After the armi-
stice was signed Gamers, farmers, job
bers, wholesalers and retailers found
themselves with large supplies on hand,
which had to be unloaded. In the proc
ess of unloading prices slumped and they
have been falling ever since. The large
surplus, however, Is just about exhaust
ed Last February the farmers refused
to offer produce at the lower prices
offered by the Gamers. and buying
stopped SO the farmers reduced their
acreage and a general period OF stag
nation set In. The consumer never
knows when the bottom has been
reached, but We grocers pelieVe the time
Is now"
In yesterdays session Of the conven
tion the resolutions committee was in
structed to draft resolution asking the
State Legislature TO repeal the law re-
quiring that the content Of artificial col
oring matter be stamped on packages
containing dried fruits. This action Is
believed to presage the passage of the
resolution before the convention adj
journs. which 1t will do to-day.
In an account of the convention ap-
pearing in one edition of THE NEW YORK
HERALD on August 2, the name of Philip
c. Stab. vice-president Of the New York
State Wholesale Grocers' Association,
was inadvertently included with those
reported to have attacked the buying
methods OF chain stores. AS later ex-
planned by Mr.. Stab, his address was
confined to a discussion OF better meth
ods of retailing as applied to Independent
grocery stores.

Yes" replied Mrs. Paldora. II have
no one to help me but the children"
Magistrate Doyle then sent Paldora
to the hospital, and told Mrs. Paldora
that she was the prize mother of the
hundreds that have been before him.
II wish" he said, that l could hold
you up as an example to some wives
and mothers who come in here. You
are entitled to honor and gratitude"
Mrs. Paldora, although she is only 81.
has had eleven children, seven of whom
are alive. the oldest being 16. Her hus-
band refused to work some time ago.
and she secured a job in a cigar fac
tory. Since then she has been support
ing her seven children and her husband
as well. She said she probably would
get along better with her husband away
than with him at home. The Magis-
trate said that when the man was ar
raigned he gave evidences of mental un-
soundness.
