Seek to
Settle
Old Estate

Action was filed in Geauga
County Probate Court Monday
in an attempt to gain AZ
year-old trust fumd-now total
ing $72, ,518-to assist in. build
ing an orphans home in Lake
County.
The suit was filed in behalf
of RE. Gregory, trustee of a
fund left by Mrs. Emma Galley,
who died Feb. II, 1915. Her will
said the fund-then $27 ,227-
must be used toward founding
an orphans home or asylum
for children of Lake County :"
The will also said the home
must be called 1.-The Galley Or
phan Home"
The petition asks the court
to rule whether the trustee can
turn over the trust fund for
the sole purpose of assisting"
in the cost OF erecting such a
building.
Lake County commissioners
contemplate erecting a building
for orphans, but it would cost
more than the trust fund would
provide.
Defendants named in the suit
are the Ohio attorney general,
William Saxbe; the Lake County
commissioners and 81 heirs Tn
Mrs. Caley's estate.
Lake County at present has
no orphans home. Orphans are
kept at the Juvenile Detention
Home in Painesville.
Probate Judge Robert z. Ford
will rule on the case.

Undersec. of Int. ChilsOn Sworn in At Walter Reed

WASHINGTON, R - Hatfield IChilson of Colorado was sworn in Monday as Undersecretary of the Interior at a ceremony at Walter Reed Hspital in which hospital ized Secretary Seaton took part.
 It was the third oath taking at the secretarial level since last Oct. 29 for the former Loveland, Colo, attorney.
 Seaton, who apologized for his appearance in a bathrobe, stood between Chilson and Floyd E. Dotson, chief clerk of the depart ment, as Dotson administered the oath.
 The Senate confirmed Chilson's nomination Thursday.
 On Oct. 29 Dotson swore in Chilson as assistant secretary for public land management to serve under an interim appointment.
 Dotson again officiated in swearing in Chilson for that job after his nomination was con- firmed by the Senate Feb. '.
 The ceremony was held in parlor a few doors from the room in which Seaton undertook treat ment and observation for an old back injury which has bothered him nearly a month.

Mystic Mare Dies Of Heart Attack At B Years

RICHMOND, Va, R-L d y Wonder, a brown mare with a reputation as the swami of the four-legged set, is dead at the advanced animal age of s.
 A veterinarian attributed the horses death yesterday to com mon human failing, a heart at tack.
 Over the years Lady attracted almost as much attention pecking away at a horse sized typewriter contraption in her stall as did her more fleet-footed relatives on the nations tracks.
 Her mistress, Mrs. Claudia Fon- da, claimed Lady could read minds and was clairvoyant. There were many who were willing to con cede this while skeptics insisted if there was any clairvoyance it was possessed by Mrs. Fonda her self.
 But whether it was clairvoyance or sheer coincidence, Lady's |'ana swers more than once caused a furry of excitement.
 In 1852 the mare was credited by police in Quincy, Mass, with providing clues that led to the finding of the body of Danny Mat son, 4-year-old child missing for two years.
 While Mrs. Fonda ignored questions relating to gambling she never ducked those involving mat ters of love and marriage When a man asked Lady if his wife were true to him, the wonder horse rap idly returned a question of her own . fare you?"

Five Men Killed When
 Elevator Falls Five Floors

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, R = A cable snapped, and construction elevator carrying 19 workmen plunged five floors to the ground yesterday. Five of the men were killed and the rest injured.
 'It sounded like an explosion when it hit - then there were screams said Bob Barsh, an insulation superintendent at the new Duval County courthouse the men were helping to build.
 Among the mortified witnesses were women waiting for their hus- bands. The accident came as the men were finishing up for the day.
 Arthur w. Avent, vice president of George D. Auchter Co.,, general contractor for the project, said he could not explain what caused the accident. Safety devices on the elevator were ''foolproof," he said, 'fbut for some reason they didn't hold when the cable broke. y

Adult Polio Shots Urged By Dept. of Health Doctor

Alaska has had 689 cases of polio since 1850. There have been 34 deaths of which only IS have involved persons under 20, and 19 have involved persons over 20. These figures lend much weight to the view of Dr. Harry V. Gib- son, chief of the Alaska Depart ment of Health preventive medi- cal services section, that "polio is not a disease of children only and vaccination of older adults is urged in Alaska because many of Alaska's polio cases have occurred in persons between 25 and 5O." The Health Department advises AHEWC that there is plenty of Salk vaccine available to physi- clans in Alaska and Alaskans should not delay in obtaining imunization.

Washington Governor
 Does Not Want to Call Special Budget Session

OLYMPIA, Wash, lR = Gov. Rosellini said yesterday he doubts he will go along with the request of the House speaker John l.. O'Brien that he veto multi mil lion dollar appropriation bills passed by the 35th Washington Legislature and summon legisla- tors to a special budget-balancing session.
 O'Brien said the governor should call an immediate special session and let the legislators start from scratch to produce a balanced budget.
 The two big bills passed last week called for spending more than 1 billion dollars to operate the state in the next two years. Legislative leaders estimated an additional 34 million dollars in revenue will be needed to handle the appropriations.

 A bill which would have out laWed the use of professional titles on a ballot was tabled in the Senate, on a 10-6 vote.
