Topeka Man Makes a Settlement With
lnir Heirs.
New York, Nov. 24. Frank Smith
of Topeka, Kan., a brother of Mrs.
Charles L. Fair, who with her husband
was killed in an automobile accident in
France, four years ago, was in New
Providence, N. J., last night. He came
on here to get his share of the estate
left by his sister. Smith said he re
ceived many times the amount paid to
the others heirs, but gave no figures.
He is said to have accepted $250,000
for nis shart and the final papers were
igned yesterday at a law office In
Newark. Mr. Smith will leave for To
peka Sunday night.
Another dispatch says:
Bound Brook, N. J.. Nov. 2 4. After
a litigation which involved many legal
Intricacies and disputes, what may be
the final chapter in the settlement of
the estate of the late Mr. and Mrs.
Charles L. Fair, who met a tragic
death while automobiling In France
nearly four years ago, was closed yes
terday by the payment of between
5500,000 and $600,000 to Frank Smith
of Topeka, Kan., a brother of Mrs. Fair,
who until yesterday had not received
his share.
Mr. Smith was in this place last night
s a guest of Fred A. Nelson and left
here today for Newark
It was in anticipation of yesterday's
settlement that Smith came east, leav
ing Topeka on election day.
-By being shrewd. Frank Smith re
ceived nearly twenty-five times as
much as the other six heirs who were
Mayor "Bill" Smith, formerly of New
Market, now of Caldwell; Abe Nelson
of New Market: the late Mrs. A. Nel
son of New Market, mother of Mrs.
Fair, estate of Mrs. Leffler of Union and
Charles Smith of Denver, Colo.
Although the amounts of the other
heirs received were exaggerated, the
exact sum received by each was $24,
000. $10,000 on the first settlement and
$14,000 in the final settlement.
At first the executors of the estate
were unable to locate Frank Smith, but
after the other relatives had signed oft
he bobbed up In Topeka where he was
employed by the Santa Fe hospital and
Infirmary. Acting on the advice of an
attorney of that city, he refused to ac
cept the same, amount as given to the
other relatives and held out for one
seventh of the estate, which he suc
ceeded in getting yesterday.
Frank Smith, when a boy. had roving
tendencies. At the age of 11 years,
thirty-five years ago this Thanksgiving,
ha left his home in New Market, N. J.,
striking out for the west. He never
returned until last year when he heard
of the death of his sister, Mrs. .Fair.
In the west he worked on a farm, was
ranchman and chef in a hotel. At the
present time he is proprietor of a hard
ware and farming tools supply concern.
Mr. Smith will leave for Topeka
Sunday night.

Mormon President Smith's Last
Cost Him $300.
One
Salt Lake City, U., Nov. 24. Joseph
F. Smith, president of the Mormon
church, appeared in the state district
court before Judge Ritchie, pleaded
guilty to a charge arising from his
polygamous marriages, and was fined
$300.
The charge under which the Mormon
prophet was arrested arid fined was
based on the recent birth of President
Smith's forty-third child, born to his
fifth wife.
President Smith addressed the court.
He stated that his last marriage was in
1S84. All his marriages, he said, were
entered Into with the sanction of hi.
charch, and, as they believed, with the
approval of the Lord. According to his
faith and the law of the church, they
were eternal in duration.
Judge Ritchie imposed the maximum
fine, but omitted the jail sentence of one
day to six months' Imprisonment, which
he might have imposed under the Utah
statute.

Holiday Business Is Already
Well Under Way.
BANK CLEARINGS GOOD
Increase Shown in Nearly Erery
Part of Country.
Topeka Shows Up With Total
of Nearly a Million.
New York, Nov. 24. R. G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade today
says:
Weather conditions have retarded
trade in seasonable staple lines of mer
chandise, but holiday goods have be
gun to move unusually early and in a
volume that promises satisfactory re
sults. Wholesale business is maintain
ing a much better movement than last
year and further improvement is not
ed In collections.
Activity in the hide market Is fully
maintained, most western packers be
ing fully sold up to current salting.
Narrow fluctuations have character
ized the grain market. Diminished re
ceipts at the northwest gave support
to wheat, total arrivals at primary
markets since July 1, now showing a
material loss from last year's move
ment, but smaller foreign buying and
less activity at flour mills offset the
sustaining factors.
Liabilities of commercial failures
thua far reported for November
amounted to $4,111,944, of which $1,
801,687 were in manufacturing, $2,
207,006 in trading and $103,251 in
other lines.
Bradstrcet.
Bradstreets today says:
Though checked in some sections by
irregular weather conditions, the trade
is active as a whole, the holiday de
mand Is opening up earlier than usual,
Industry in nearly all lines is still
pushed to the limit of production, and
little relief from the prevailing car
congestion is yet apparent, despite the
fact that the movement of certain
crops to market is smaller than usual
at this season.
The grain markets have displayed
fair audiences with a few fluctuations
on continued light movement from the
producing centers, part of which is at
tributed to the car congestion. The
feeling grows, however, that the mill
ing wheat production in the Northwest
has been over estimated.
Hides are scarce and high, and leath
er prices tend upward. Building 1s
rather quiet and materials are not very
active, although lumber Is in fair re
quest. Raw and refined sugar Is quiet and
unchanged here, but the prices on the
Pacific coast are a quarter cent lower
on the break out of another sugar war
Sympathetic weakness is shown at New
Orleans and as far east generally as
the Mississippi river.
Copper is firm and demand for elec
trolytic for shipment in December is
heavy.

Freight Car Telescopes Passenger Car
Filled With People.
Detroit, Mich., Nov. 24. Miss Har
riet Harger of Pontiac, was killed and
sixteen other passengers were injured
early today when an electric freight
car crashed into the rear end of a sub
urban electric car near Birmingham.
The passenger car was a theater car
bound to Pontiac from Detroit and was
filled. It had stopped at the foot of a
steep grade in front of the power
house, when, without warning, the
freight car also outbound and which
had been following the theater car
from Detroit, appeared over the crest
of the grade and dropped down the
300 foot incline at terrific speed. It
struck the standing passenger car with
such force that it telescoped the car
two-thirds of its length.
It is thought all the Injured will
recover.
COLLECT BURTON FINE.
Steps Taken by Government to Secure
the Money.
St. Louis. Nov. 24. It became public
today that officials of the United States-
district attorn y s omee, arter consider
ing various methods of procedure avail
able in the collection of the $2,500 fine
assessed against Joseph Ralph Burton,
ex-senator from Kansas, now in jail in
Ironton. Mo., have agreed upon a plan.
The assistant district attorney, E. P.
Johnson, has found a law whereby it is
not compulsory to tile a suit in the Kan
sas district court covering Abilene, Kan.,
Burton's home, in its jurisdiction. All
that will be required is to send an execu
tion to the Kansas federal authorities and
let them proceed against any property
which Burton may own in case that he
does not pay the fine.
If Burton makes an affidavit at tho end
of thirty days following the expiration
of his sentence that he does not possess
sufficient funds to pay the fine he will
have to be liberated according to law.
