BAD
MANAGEMENT
OF FUNDS CHARGED
Edward Quackenbush Accused
of Carelessness in Hand
ling Calef Estate.
$14,000 ASKED RETURNED
Mrs. Almira Calef Potblado Wood
Makes Charges That Xo Books
Have Been Kept and Affairs
Are Badly Tangled Cp.
Charging the manner In which he has
kept the accounts of the Charles E.
Calef estate "reflect In no small de
cree upon the Kood faith" of Edward
Vuackenbush. the only surviving exe-
utor, Mrs. Almira Calef Potblado Wood
tiled objections In the County Court
yesterday afternoon. Williams, Wood
A LInthlcum and Walter S. Asher are
her attorneys. She says for 31 years
a set of books has not been kept, and
the affairs of the estate were found
to be In such a tangle It was necessary
to employ the services of the Georgre
T. Murton Audit Company to straight
en them out. v
The charges made by Mrs. Wood
are that Quackenbush failed to take
adequate security for money loaned
under ihe terms of the will, that he
obtained no orders from the court for
his transactions for many years, that
he gave Mrs. Wood and Allen Calef
money in excess of the sums stipu
lated in the will, and without court
r n o r.
The will provided that when Allen
V,? Ie was 30 ears old, and Mrs. Wood
2l . , "tutors, of whom there were
originally three, were to turn the es
tate over to them. But Mrs. Wood
says that although she demanded sev
eral times that the affairs be wound
up and the property turned over to
ber. Ouaekenhnai-. i ....... .. . .
Mnce the death of M. S. Burrell. one
of the executors, April 11, 1885. Quark
ennush has obtained only three court
orders, it is charged.
AVants $14,000 Returned.
The total, amount which Mrs. Wood
asks the court to compel Quackenbush
lwrfnUnd i the e8tae is upwards of
iA'on The larest single amount is
4987. which Mrs. Wood savs is due
as interest on a note for $2500 given
by S. P. Lee August 24. 1S92. payable
In two years, and drawing 10 per cent
interest. She says the value of the
security for payment of this note was
800. exclusive of a mortgage for $1500
on a part of the Lee property. But she
says there Is no record with the Mult
nomah County Clerk of this mortgage
or of the one given the estate. She
asserts the estate received only $6500
by this deal, whereas. If the money had
been loaned for 1 years at 10 per cent
it would have brought in $11,487. She
demands the difference, alleging Quack
enbush "either did not loan the money
on safe security, or else, having given
the security In such form that it was
convertible at his will to protect other
Interests, has betrayed the trust Im
posed upon him. and when the very
contingency arose against which the
ecurity was provided, the estate was
called upon to suffer the loss."
Unbusinesslike Ways Set Forth.
It is set forth In the 22-page docu
ment containing the objections, that
139 loans were made by the executor
before August 3. 1S97. of which five
are said to have been made by order
of the court. 89 are secured by realty
mortgages, five by bonds for deeds
never recorded, nine mortgages, no
mention being made of the location
of the land. 15 by land, no record of
which appears on the county records,
and 16 by nothing at all.
There are nine notes for amounts
ranging from $300 to $2500. on which
Mrs. Wood demands both the princi
pal and interest. The oldest one was
given in January. 1S84. and bears 15
per cent Interest.
As another Instance of the executor's
unbusinesslike management Mrs. Wood
says he loaned $1400 to A. M. Cor
nelius In April. 1890. taking 170 acres
of land in payment when the money
was not forthcoming. She says this
resulted In a loss to the estate of about
$174. while the loan, at 8 per cent in
terest, would have brought about $4500.
The property was deeded to her in
1906. she says, but she demands that
t-Miackenhush take It back, and that
she he reimbursed for the loss.

JJ10 cause of all skin diseases can be traced to some humor or acid In
tne blood; the cuticle is always healthy where the circulation Is free from

cannot perform its natural work of nourishing the skin, regulating its tem

instead It irritates and inflames the delicate fibres and tissues around the
pores and glands and produces some of the many forms of skin disease.
Ane Itehlng and stinging so often accompanying skin affections are produced
py the deposit from the blood of the acrid humors with which it is filled,
into the sensitive membranous flesh lying Just beneath the outer covering,
and surrounding the countless nerves, pores and glands. This explains why
scratching the outer skin affords no relief from the itching and burning.
S.S.S. cures Skin Diseases of every character by purifying the blood. It
goes down into the circulation and removes the humors or acids which are
causing the trouble, builds up the weak, acrid blood, and permanently cures
every variety of skin affection. Local applications can only soothe-, they
never cure because they do not reach the blood. 8. S. S. goes right into the
circulation, reaches the trouble and cures it by removing the cause. Book
om Skin Diseases and any medioal advice free to all who write.
