Title Guarantee & Trust Company Property May Be Iisxsetl or by Last of February. Within the next 80 days William M. Ladd will have paid aJl of the claims of depositors In the failed Title Guar antee Trust Company ranging be tween 2R0 and $500. An order to that effect -was entered by Judge Wolverton In the United States Court yesterday morning. The order Is based on the guarantee which William M. Ladd filed with the court In January, 1908. In which he agreed to warrant all such depositors against loss, payments to be made within two years at his pleasure, and all claims to be assigned to him at the time of liquidation. Interest j will be paid on all claims from Novem ber. 120S. to date at tha rate of 4-per cent per annum, which will require the disbursement of $48,000. That sum is in the hands of Receiver R. S. Howard, Jr. In petitioning the court for an order permitting him to pay off all claims not exceeding J500 each. Mr. Ladd states that he is assured that valuable assets of the Title Guarantee & Trust Company will be disposed of within the next 60 days, from which he will be reimbursed. It will require from S115, 000 to $125,000 to meet the claims which are proposed to be reduced and will be advanced from the private funds of the petitioner. Payments of 10 and 20 per cent of the original claims covered by the order of the court have been made by the receiver, 'together with 4 per cent Interest. It is probable that all the property of the Title Guarantee & Trust Com pany will have been disposed of not later than the last of February. There are 600 claims filed and approved In amounts In excess of $500. When the sales are closed It is expected that these will be called promptly by Mr. Ladd. Although Mr. Ladd is not required under the terms of his guarantee to pay -the S250-$500 claims for several months, the call was decided upon in the Interest of economy of administra tion. Aj report filed, .with, tha court shows that 1900 claims for amounts less than 1250 have been paid In full. The pres ent order will close 444 additional accounts.

Coroner Being Criticised Because He Assisted in Attempt to Keep Suicide Secret. Disappointed because her sweet heart had broken an appointment with her and despondent over the fact that he had gone to a skating-rink with another girl on the same night on which he had promised to take her to the theater, Lillie Ridley, 24 years old, who lived at 167 West Park street, in a rooming-house conducted by Mrs. Elsie Kramer, swallowed a dose of poison last Saturday night and died from its effec.ts on Wednesday morn ing in the Good Samaritan Hospital. The young woman was buried yes terday afternoon. - but the death cer tificate was not signed up until just -before th burial although) the death bad occurred ' 48 hours before. An attempt was made to hide the fact that she had com mitted suicide, and Dr. Ben L. Norden, the Coroner assisted in the attempt. The real truths-became known through the action of Dr. C. H. Wheeler, the Health Officer who heard of the case, and ordered that the death certificate be referred to Coroner Norden when it came into the Health Office for record. On the night Miss Ridley swallowed the fatal draught she wrote a note, which, when found, was given to Cor oner Norden, which reads as follows: "Dearest Elsie: If I never come back write to my dear mother, Mrs. G. W. Ridley, Westport, CaL I will die as ever your dear . friend. Signed) Llllle." This was addressed to Mrs. Kramer, with whom Miss Ridley had been living for the past two years. Miss Ridley was not employed, and while not exactly occupying the position of a domestic, assisted Mrs. Kramer in the care and conduct of the rooming-house. Dr. E. D. Johnson was called and found a bottle of bichloride of mercury tablets and in his presence and that of Mrs. Kramer, Miss Ridley admitted that she had taken the poison. She never revealed the name of her sweet heart and left no dying message for him, although she is said to have con fessed to the cause of having wanted to die. Dr, Johnson, ordered her xe moval to the hospital, where she grad ually failed until Wednesday morning, when she died. Dr. Norden frankly admits that he acquiesced in the attempt to keep the affair quiet, saying that he felt sorry for the poor old father and mother of the woman, whom he did not want to grieve by having known that their daughter had died In that tragic man ner. Reports of a suspicious character have reached the police regarding the character of the house at 167 West Park, and information regarding a rooming-house formerly conducted by Mrs. Kramer and Miss Ridley in Rainier,- Wash., is being investigated by the authorities. The faet that Dr. Norden lent himself to the breach of official etiquette In trying to hush up the affair is being criticised in offi cial circles. ON SALET0DAY.
