been no fighting near the Honduran

Some malcontents from HondTsas

APPEAL MADE
IN WILL CASE
Pembina Women Charge
Friends of Dead Man Used
Undue Influence

Appeal has been taken to the su-
preme court in the case of Mary
Black and others VS.. Vera II. Smith
and others, involving the $4,000
estate of William Cain who died in
Pembina county.
AS presented to the supreme
court the case is an appeal from an
order of the Pembina county dis
trict court denying new trial,
asked by the defendants, and deny
ing a motion for Judgment notwith-
standing the verdict Of the jury.
The plaintiffs, sisters of the dead
man, were defeated in an effort to
keep the will from being probated
in the Pcmbins county court and APP
pealed to the district court, charg-
ing that Miss Smith and others were
made beneficiaries under the will
because they had excrted undue in
fluence on Cain when tn will was
made. The defendants denied the
charge of undue influence and as
serted that the beneficiaries we're
named because Cain felt grateful to
them for services which they had
performed for him. His sisters
were excluded from the will, the de-
Tense contended,, because he felt that
they were old and would not need
the money
As disclosed by records filed in
the supreme court Vera Smith, the
defendant, was the niece of Gains
wife who prec led him in death by
only few days. She visited the
Cain home shortly after her aunt's
death and took care of Mr.. Cain in
his last illness.
The defense contends that Cain
made the will a few days before his
death without influence having been
brought to bear upon him and out of
affection for the niece who cared
for him in his last illness. The
plaintiffs contend that Cain would
not have ignored his blood relatives
in his will while wholly in his right
mind and free from pressure.

get once it has been adopted. It
would be easier to meet unforeseen
conditions, Ermatinger said, if it
were possible to readjust the bud
get as the need arose.
To Make Allowance
His present plan is to make
liberal allowance for road mainten-
ance, since that is regarded as the
'irst duty of the department. The
remainder of the funds available
will devoted to road construction.
Preliminary estimates place the cost
Of maintenance at from 100000 to
$8OO,00O. This item, he pointed out,
will increase from year to year as
the mileage for which the mainten-
ance department is responsible in
creascs. Under the present law the
state assumes the obligation of
maintaining road when an original
state grading contract is completed.
It is probable. Ermatinger said,
that provision will be made in the

is required by the new highway law,
passed at the legislative session last
winter. The law also specifics the
manner in which the budget is to be
compiled.
Reports and budget recommends
tions are to be made to the secretary
by department heads not. later than
November Is. The secretary is then
required to organize a tentative bud
get, providing an estimate Of the in

then is required to act on the bud

If costs were to be based wholly
on the experience of the preceding
year it would be a comparatively
easy matter to arrive at the amounts
which the 'ious departments would
need, Ermatinger said, and the main
difficulty then would be to estimate
the income. This in itself will be
difficult, he points out, since the
proceeds from the two-cent gasoline
tax are ur tain. The other prin-
cipal source of income is automobile
license receipts and these can be es-
timated with fair accuracy.
The difficulty in estimating gaso-
line tax receipts, Ermatinger said.
lies in the fact that the present tax
has not been in effect long enough
to permit anyone to strike an aver
age yearly income. 1t is dependent,
Ermatinger pointed out, on condi
tions which cannot be foreseen. If
the state experiences an open win
ter and crops are good it is probable
that gasoline tax receipts will be
high, Ermatinger said. On the 9TH
err hand, if roads are blocked with
snow for any considerable time or
crops are poor the highway depart
ment's income will be reduced.
This possible variation of estimat-
ed income from actual receipts
makes it necessary to be very con-
servative in making up the budget.
he said. The need for caution is
further emphasized by the fact that
the law gives the highway commits
sion no authority to change the bud

said.
After ded citing maintenance costs
it il: probable that from $500, 900
to $4,000, 900 will be available for

This figure includes not only state

lowing the purchase by Day & Zim-

Del-Mar-Va utility is a subsidiary.
Mr.. Woodcock assumes direction
of the new company at time when
an extensive program of building is
under way. Work has been started
on the new steam generating station
for the Eastern Shore system at Vi
emma, and the construction of high
tension distribution lines to connect
this new plant with the general sys-
TEN will be pushed, so that the two
Jobs will be completed simultaneous
ly.
Mr.. Woodcock spent many years

DELAWARE AND MARYLAND
AGREE ON TRUCK DISPUTE
Continued from first pagel

ing to the agreement. Maryland
trucks operating through Delaware
as common carriers will be required
to pay for such operation, just as
Delaware trucks operating in Mary
land as common carriers have been
required to pay.
Maryland was represented at the
conference by Mr.. Robinson, Her.
bert Levy, Assistant Attorney-Gen-
eral; E. Austin Baughman, commits
sioner of motor vehicles, and John
N. Mackall, chairman of the State
Roads Commission. Delaware'S rep
resentatives included Charles H.
Grantland, secretary of state; Clar-
ence A. Switzerland, attorney-gen-
eral; Superintendent c. c. Reynolds,
of the Delaware State Police, and an
official of the Delaware State High
way Department.
The beginning of the reciprocity
controversy was marked by the ar
rest of the drivers of several Della
ware trucks operating in Maryland
as common carriers without permits
from the Maryland Public Service
Commission. Other trucks operating
at random throughout Maryland
were accorded the same freedom
they had always enjoyed.
Delaware, however, denied all
Maryland trucks the right to oper-
ate there without first obtaining Del
aware license tags. The controversy
was precipitated between the states
when several Marylanders were ar
rested in Delaware for operating
without Delaware tags.
Secretary of State Charles H.
Grantland, speaking of the confer
ence said: "The conference was
very harmonious and the ultimate
result will undoubtedly by salts
factory adjustment of the controver-
sy that has arisen over the privil-
eyes that are to be granted by the
states of Delaware and Maryland to
the operators of motor trucks for
hire over the public highways of
these two states by non-residents in
sofar as it concerns residents of
Delaware and Maryland"

played on the piano, and Mr..
Schwartz of Dover sang several Sc

over a northern route through yell

will not lure the Milford girls away
from their planned route, into movie
land instead, so that the first of July
will find them. back home once
more, regaling Milford with rany
