OF Chelsea introduced 4 joint resolu
ton instructing the selgeant-at-arm3

request of Mr.. Darling, was laid on
the table until the Board of Control
should act if it so desired. The
Board took no definite action ct its
first meeting yesterday with the new
governor and the new secretary of
civil and military affairs. Another
meeting of the board will be held be-
fore the end of this week. Some ques-
tion has been raised as to whether
the board has authority TO act in the
matter.
As the sergcant-at-arms is a legis-
lative officer empowered to take nee
eSSary means to carry out its orders,
the adoption of Mr.. Darling's resolu-
ton would san that the departments
would have TO move to the quarters

HEAVY CLAIMS
AGAINST THE
VAIL ESTATE
Cases Brought in Cal. Co,
Court on Appeal from the
Findings of COmm'rS

OF the more important new civil
cases that have been docketed during
the present term of Caledonia county
court are several against the estate
of the late Theodore N. Vail of Lyn-
don.
These cases are all on claims
against the estate and are appeals
from the allowance of the commits
sionerS.
John W. Titcomb, now OF Albany,
n. ", but for many years fish and
game commissioner of Vermont and
a resident of st. Johnsbury and Lyn-
don, and Mr.. Walls secretary, brings
suit to recover $S0S8.17 on contract
for personal services. The bill was
not allowed by the commissioners Of
the estate.
Another bill presented against the
estate was for $4,000 from Alice
Hupperty Neale of London, Eng. 1t
was allowed by the commissioners at
$3G71.74, but the plaintiff appeals
from the award Of the commissioners
and brings suit to recover the full
amount.
There are two cases in which the
Eastern States Agricultural and In
dustrial Exposition of Springfield,
Mass, seeks to recover money in all
amounting to $4,000. The commits
sioners allowed only $7,150 of this
claim and the appeal for the Spring
field people from the commissioners
award is to recover the entire
amount, which was in the nature OF
q contribution pledged to the financ-
irg of the exposition by Mr. Vail.
These cases are not set for trial
a. the present term and viii prob
ably not be brought up before the
regular term of the county court
next June.
A hearing is set for Wednesday,
Jan. 10, in probate court before Judge
Walter W. Wesley when the attor-
neys Of the international Products
Company of Baltimore, Md, seek %
reopen the commission in order to al
low them to present a claim of
S193,375 against the estate, for a
subscription of stock which it is
claimed Mr.. Vail agreed to under
write. This claim was not presented
at the regular meeting of the COM
missioners before the time limit eX-
pired as it is claimed they did not
know that the claim could not be
presented at any time before the es-
tate was finally settled
