Of his holdings to Frank u. Law

Messrs. Dawson and Lawrence have

that we should examine the ruins of

you what provision the new building
code Will make to prevent rccur-
renee OF such catastrophe, we would
advise as follows:
Tho old building was of Il type
which could not be built according
to the new code: therefore. no fair
comparison can be made between the
old building and one of the same
size. shape and occupancy erected by
The new code.
The old building was four stories
hiEh In front and six at the rear. OF
ordinary construction. with open
stairways and elevator shafts. where
as the new code (scctions 34-C and
SID VIII require all hotels over
three stories high TO be built of fire
proof construction. with stairways
ana elevator matches Enclosed in in
combustible material
THE new code ARTICLE MIL Will
require for building of the size,
shape and occupancy of the old Lex
ington Hotel six means Of exit from
each noor, In addition to the Gle.
vators at least three of such exits

No Change In Rccommc ndn tions.
This fire has not caused us to

bodied In the new code tending to
safeguard human life from hazard in
new buildings, as, we believe, a
building OF tho same size, shape and

FARROW WILL CASE
WAS COMPROMISED
Both Sides Won. Major Farr0w Will
Get Part OF The Estate OF
Charles W. FarrOw

The Farrow will case which occu-
pied the attention of our Court sew
eral days during the March term,
1920, and was afterward removed to
Wicomico County, has been compro-
missed by Major Edward Fairow and
other relatives being awarded por-
tion of the estate of the late Charles
w. Farrow. former Postmaster of
Snow HILL
At the trial here il was claimed.
owing to the enfeebled condition of
Mr.. Farrow in mind and body at the
time he made his will leaving most
of his property to Mrs. Sallie f..
Clarke, his sister, that he was not
competent to make will, and on this
ground caveat had been filed to the
probating of the will by Major Ed
ward S. Farrow, brother. and other
relatives. The jury failed to agree,
and no verdict was rendered
The case came up again last Mon
day in the Circuit Court for Wicom-
leo County with large number of
witnesses on both sides and an array
of eminent lawyers representing both
the Messrs. Eben Heaine
and George NJ. Clarke and others as
caveatees, and Major Edward S. Far
row and others, as caveatorS.
Before the case was called for trial,
agreement for settlement was ar
rived at by the caveatees agreeing to
pay the caveators certain portion of
the amount claimed by the latter.
The case was then submitted to a
jury, which found verdict for the
caveatees, sustaining the will. Thus
the will is admitted to probate in
Worcester County.
Judge William +. Johnson and
Hooper S. Miles were attorneys for
the caveators. and Messrs. George NJ.
upshur, Franklin Upshur and John
w. Station were attorneys for the
caveatees.
