House d. C. Committee
Acts to End Lucrative
Guardianship Practice

First steps toward elimination of
the profitable business built up by
District Commissioner Fenning as
guardian Of insane persons commit
ted by the local courts were taken
by the House District Committee to.
day.
Changes In the District eide re-
Iating to lunaties, similar in some
respects to the amendments in the
law relating to insane world war
veterans already approved by the
House Veterans Committee, We're
favorably acted upon by lepresen-
tative Zihlman and his associates.
The chief change IN the law
recommended by the committee %
a limitation Of the commission 70
be awarded the guardian o" commit
tee Of the insane person to 4
reasonable compensation Of not
more than. 5 per cent"
The committee amendment, how.
ever, not only limits commissions TO
5 per cent. but provides that they
shall be figured only on the basis
OF money actually received and
disbursed," not upon the income or
the principal Of the insane PERSONS
estate.
The text of the amendment ap-
proved by the committee follows:
THE court shall allow a reason
able compensation for services
actually rendered by the committee,
not exceeding 5 per cent on amount
collected and disbursed."
Representative Reid OF Illinois
| stated that In many cases where the
| lunatic possessed a considerable
estate, the Commissioners salary of
per cent was altogether too high,
and it was his proposal that the
court should be given discretion to
fix reasonable compensation" for
the guardian or the committee.
which in many cases he believed
would be much less than per cent.
| After adopting this amendment
the committee considered another
amendment which would limit to
five the number of wards of whom
any guardian or committee could
assume charge. After discussion,
the committee decided to postpone
final action on this.
Representative Reid pointed out
that the House had declined to
adopt such a limitation in the case

Freak farms are on the increase in

OBITUARY..
HOWARD w. DUNN.

Ellsworth lost good citizen in
the death on Monday of Howard w.
Dunn. He had been ill long time,
and confined to his home for nearly
three months, and though realizing
his condition and suffering greatly,
he bore it all without complaint,
but with the thoughtfulness for
others that had characterized his
life.
Mr. Dunn was born in Franklin
on Jan. Il, 1858, a son of the late
Edward Dunn. His early life was
spent on the farm and in the granite
quarries, from which he graduated
by his own efforts, to the finer monu-
mental work He came to Ellsworth
in 1882 and engaged in business
first with Levi Weber, later with
Merrill Howard of Bluehill and N.
H. Higgins of Ellsworth, and finally
establishing a business of his own
which he continued until his death.
For some years he conducted a
branch of his business in Bar Har-
Dor. For the past year his son
Willis has been associated with him,
under the firm name of H. w. Dunn
& Son.
Mr.. Dunn was man Of integrity
in business and in his social re-
lations. He was a deacon of the
former Free Will Baptist church,
and since it's merger with the Bap-
fist church, had been helpful
worker in that congregation. He was
a past master of Lygonia lodge, F.
and A. NJ, and past worthy patron
of Irene chapter, o. E. S.
Mr.. Dunn was twice married. His
first wife, who was Miss Dora E..
Butler of Franklin, died in 1897
His second wife, who survives him,
was Mrs. Ella Quincy of Saco. He
leaves also two sons, George W., of
Providence, r. l., and Willis E. of
Ellsworth; a step-daughter, Mrs.
Ruby Livingston of Medford Hill
side, Mass, and two sisters, Mrs.
Elizabeth Bragdon of Lamoine and
Mrs. Mary DeMeyer of Eastbrook.
The funeral was held at the home
this afternoon, Rev. Clarence Emery

dance of friends and members of
the masonic bodies The son George
