Mcdonald Estate
Counsel Fees Studied
By D. {. Court
lote Oil Mognote's
Holdings Valued at
$5,00O,000

Justice Jesse c. Adkins in District
Court today was called upon to pass
on expenditures out of the $4,000 900
estate of James Mcdonald, Standard
Oil magnate who died here nearly
"a years ago. One of the lawyers
In the case is Senator ELECT D. Worth
Clark, Democrat, of Idaho. The
question hinges on fees to be allowed
counsel for work over a period of
years.
Senator ELECT Clark, who has
served in the House of Representa-
tives and recently defeated Senator
Pope. represents the executor of the
estate, w. H. Langroise When Mr.
Mcdonald died here at the age of "a
years, his estate was valued at $4,-
100000, but due to the appreciation
Of his Standard Oil holdings, it has
now grown to $5,000,O00, despite the
expenditures.
Justice Adkins was informed that
half of the estate is to be held in
trust until 1916, but he was reminded
that by court order recently, half of
the estate was released from the
trust. The court impounded $250,OOO
to cover counsel fees and expendi-
lures of the trustees. Justice Adkins
is now being called upon to deter
mine what is a just expenditure. The
case opened yesterday afternoon and
is expected to consume a large part
Of today.
Mr.. Mcdonald was the European
partner of Standard Oil. He Or
ganized a branch of the corporation
in Europe and had dealings in Asia
as we'll. He was a native of Scot
land, where he was born in l840, and
became identified with the late John
D. Rockefeller in building up the
oil business. For a time, Mr.. Nc
Donald made his home in England.
When he died in January, 1915,
bis survivors were his widow; his
Bon, James Mcdonald, jr., and his
Stepson, Arthur B. Campbell. Plans
were made at that time to bring a
mausoleum from England.

BY SIGRID ARNE,

Associated Press Stan Writer.
For 18 years, the handsome widow
of Woodrow Wilson has been a
phantomlike figure in the Capital
She lives on street in the reserved,
Georgian townhouse in which the
President died. She goes out to see
a few friends, but they know they
shouldn't invite her unless the party
is to be very small and very ex-
elusive.
Occasionally Mrs. Wilson has ap-
peared at d rally Of Democratic
women, wearing great, butterfly
like orchids. the kind President
Wilson shoWered on her during
their courtship. She has never,
even by simple "yes" or no." re-
vealed what the Wilson's, mister
and missus, thought during the
turbulent World War years in the
White House. But she is breaking
that 18-year silence. She has writ
ten a book.
More Than Enough.
It was done all in longhand in
her quiet study where a picture
of Mr.. Wilson looks down on her.
She wrote so we'll that she turned in
three times as much as the pub
fishers could use. So Pulitzer
Prize winner Marquis James was
called in to edit the copy.
Those in the know say the book
will throw new light on several of
Mr.. Wilson's acts as President. The
"reminiscences will run in part in
a magazine, and appear in book
form in the early spring.
Not in modern times, at least, has
former Presidents wife written her
memoirs.
What prompted the noncommit-
tai widow to come out of her re-
tirement? Friends say she has been
distressed several times over printed
comments on her husbands admin
istrations. She feels as strongly
today as she did 20 years ago about
the ideal he expressed.
