REYNOLDS CHILD
OPENS COURT FIGHT
Lawyers Seek Part of $25, ,000,'
900 Tobacco Fortune for
Daughter.

WINSTON-SALEM, N. c., June 26.
Another chapter in the fight OF s.
year-old Anne Cannon Reynolds, I'd,
for half of the s25, ,O0o,ooo estate of
her father, the late Zachery Smith
Reynolds, began here yesterday.
Plaintiffs counsel prepared to ask
Superior Court Judge Felix E. Alley
to set aside Judgment signed in 1881
which gave the child a 100000 trust
fund and barred her from seeking a
share of the tobacco fortune.
Should Judge Alley reverse the
earlier judgment, the child would
share alike with Zachery Smith Rey-
nolds, jr., 16-month-old son of Libby
Holman Reynolds, second wife of the
young tobacco heir, who was shot to
death at his estate here two years
ago.
The motion to set aside the judg-
ment was filed by the Cabarrus Bank
& Trust Co. of Concord, co-guardian,
which has been contesting a pur-
ported settlement of $500, 900 by which
further right to a share of the for
tune was waived.
The judgment establishing the trust
fund set up a similar fund for Rey-
nold's first wife. the former Anne
Cannon. a member of the prominent
North Carolina towel manufacturing
family.
The other party to the litigation is
the Safe Deposit & Trust Co. of Bal
timore, trustees under the will of r.
]. Reynolds, the child's paternal
grandfather.

rs cheaper to erect boys clubs than it is
to construct reform schools. Far more
bsncfcial is it to build character during
the formative years than to send youth
to the Juvenile Court 1t is better to take
the bad quirks out of a lads makeup,

That's the philosophy upon which is built the

cincts. Henry l. Quinn attorney and member
of the Board of Education, as well as leader
in the Federation of Citizens Associations,
wishes to have boys clubs started in the
schools-and he told Congress so when the
current District supply bill was being framed.
Church groups. too. desire boys clubs under
their sheltering hands.
But there is no confusion in the minds OF
the thousands of boys who have held member

institution formed at the close of the World
War has been doing business at the same old
corner-230 street-for Is long years now.

Gently been constructed, running off Union
Station plaza The truth is that the character
of the neighbOrhood is rapidly changing for the
better. since the Boys Club of Washington set
up headquarters there. Not Is years ago,
when ublic-spirited business men and vision
stirred leaders set the Boys Club of Washing
ton down in a neighborhood considered no
torious for juvenile delinquency.
For, geographically as well as in the lives
of the lads and young men, it was not so far
to the Juvenile Court-to the criminal divisions
of District Supreme Court. Then, Italians,
Greeks. Rumanians. Gypsies came as the first
clientele to the newly formed Boys Club. Now,
with the changing years and the altered char
acter of the neghborhood, the club is cosmo-
politan in its roster.
Out Of the grim need for social service, the
wish for betterment the spur of character

vigor of Frank r. Jelleff and his sympathy,

ton has recently been made 1t has an alert,

jetsam of Washington's boyhood, it is building
up morale character, the worthwhile fiber of
lives of usefulness.
The guiding spirit Of it all is Charles M.

One of these privileges is the Boys Club of

ton Of competition and opportunity for educa-

Rule stripped of its complacent hypocrisy.
Mr. Fyfe is the boys real friend He sits

anchorage in his club. For, as he well says. he
did not read about these problems Of boys in
books. He has cleaned them out of life in the
raw-taes that would move Charles Dickens
to new crusading. But Mr.. Fyfe keeps no
records of the drab cases-they are locked in
his heart and written deeply upon his memory.

AmericanCongress
Best Legislature
In World to Rair,ey
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
To Speaker Rainey, the American
Congress was the best legislature in
the world.
Just before the 73rd Congress went
home, he turned the gavel over to
Representative Smell. Republican, of
New York, and summed up his opin-
ion of the session thus:
There are 435 members in the
American Congress. There are 6l5
members in the British Parliament.
There are exactly 615 members in the
French Chamber of Deputies. But in
the British Parliament there are seats
for only 200, and sometimes the men,
bers sit in the galleries
This is the largest deliberative
body assembling in the largest num-
bers among the nations in the world,
but in this body, in spite of all that
is said about it-and have visited
the parliaments of the world-the
best order prevailed
I'm other parliaments there are in
tense disturbances on the floor, and
physical encounters. Here the en-
counters are intellectual. ="
AN historic Congress is about to
end its second and its last session. In
this Congress we have enacted more
legislation, We have done more work,
and we have talked less than in any
other Congress in the history of this
Republic"
