SCARBOROUGH
CONTEST OPENS
Permanent Letters Civ
en- Mrs. Stevens By
Ordinary

his consent and also his own appli-
cation for appointment as permanent
administrator and file caveat ask
ing the appointment Of H. Z. Allen,
clerk of the court, a disinterested
party, as step in his own interest.
He said he desired to follow this ad-
vice of his attorney he remember
ed Mrs. Weinman and her relation
ship IN the family.
At this point the caveat was pre-
scented by Attorney Dodson. 1t was
signed by Mrs. Weinman as well as
Mr.. Scarborough.
Two or three witnesses were in
troduced to identify Mrs. Weinman
as the daughter of Luke Hames and
establish her as an heir at law
In the summing up, the attorneys
for the Stevens sisters contended that
under the law the ordinary was re
CURED to appoint legal heir to the
estate, and that, the application Of
Sidney E. Scarborough himself hav-
ing been withdrawn, that of no inter
ested party remained except Mrs.
Stevens. He showed that the law
demanded an agreement by major
lty of the heirs in case a disinterested
person were to be appointed, and
commended that there was a deadlock
of two and two.
Claims No Deadlock
Col Dodson then attempted to
show that. under their standing be-
fore the law, the Stevens sisters CON
stltuted only one-third Of the claim
ants instead of one-half and that his
client and that Of Attorney Feagin
comprised majority, making it en-
tlrelV permissible for the ordina,-
to appoint Mr.. Allen as a disiater-
ested party. He admitted he had ad-
vlsed Sidney Scarborough to with
draw his consent to Mrs, Stevens APP
pllcation, declaring it his opinion that
It was to his clients interest to do so,
lie said an offer had been made for
a lolnt misunderstanding between
Sidney f. Scarborough and Mrs.
Stevens, which had been refused by
the latter, and declared that she. hav-
ing refused to share the administra-
torshir, there appeared good reason
to believe his interests would be bet
ter taken care of in the hands of =
d1slnterested person. He declared
The offer of joint misunderstanding
be still open and CHALLENGED its ac-
ceptance.
Mr.. Feagin declared there was no
personal objection on the part oil
himself or his client to Mrs. Stevens
appointment, but he said it had come
to him that morning that an attempt
would be made to shut his client out
of share in the estate and that the
fact that Mrs. Stevens on the stand
had failed to remember Mrs. Vein
man, when other citizens remembered
her and when Mrs. Weinman wei
remembered Mrs Stevens, Indicate
that there was something about tn,
case that would make it safer for hi
clients interests to have the estate
administered by disinterested per
son.
Not Question OF Interest.
Attorney Fort, closing the case, de
clared that since it is not the duty
of the administrator to pass upon the

George A. Galliver, the president, in
his annual report says: 1.-TWO funda-
mental factors, however, underlie the
situation, and their influence will un-
doubtedly be felt eventually. The pro-
dnctive capacity Of the paper industry
has not increased during the last five
years in proportion to that of other in
dustries. Moreover, production has
been seriously curtailed during the
latter part of 1920 and 1891 to date.
at would seem, therefore, that, with
improvement in general business, TO-
gether with the reastablishment of con-
fidence, the demand for fine papers will
be directly reflected In an increased
production, which would lead TO grad
ual improvement approaching q normal

.Jewelry Case Trade Good

Although jewelry ease and tray
makers experienced q perceptible de-
cline in business thus far this year
from-the preceding abnormal year, sales
compared favorably with the volume in
1919, according to survey yesterday.
An illustration of the unprecedented
statement of leading manufacturer
that by January 81 of that year more
orders had been turned in BY statesmen
than Is normally done by August.
Prices, the case maker believed, had
gone down about 20 per cent on all
cases and trays.

leaders in tho bankers' convention at
Pinehurst and at the Foreign Trade
Council convention in Cleveland were
certain amount of caution. The gem
eral impression is that the country's
finances are sound, that liquidation
has about run its course, bus that full
revival of business waits upon the
settlements of the transportation prob
lem, internal taxes and tariff, and che
political restoration Of Europe, to-
gether with some plan Of financing
foreign trade, In connection with for
eign trade some progress has been
made by the various Edge law CORPORA
tions in financing shipments to Europe,
but as yet this has not developed suf-
ficiently to relieve the general situa-
ton.
Retail trade last week was hampsred
by unreasonable weather, and some eff
feet of this was reflected in the whole
sale markets. On the whole, however,
business in the local wholesale mar
kets In textiles, apparel, shoes, etc,
was far from discouraging. In the
textile field manufacturers assert that
the volume Of business Is showing a
steady, although slow growth, but that
present profits are too small as basis
tor CONTINUOUS operation. opinion is
divided concerning the methods to be
used in increasing profits. Some as
sert that prices must rise, while others
take the view that the margin Of
profits can be Increased only by de-
creasing costs Of production Others
believe that course in which both
elements appear will solve the prob
lem. OF the textile raw materials
cotton and wool appear to be at rock
bottom. Raw silk, however, Is showing
downward tendency at present, which
may continue for some time. The price
Of raw silk, It Is remembered, has been
artificially .pegged by government
backed syndicate in japan.
