H
Ex-Counsel for Guardian Says He
Put Vp $ 1 000 of His Okd Money
and He Wants It Back To
gether With His Pay.
NETTV YORK. Jan. 12. 5rlal.)
The Stalls girl Laura, and Helena
aupposed to be hetrexnes to an estate
of f50.000.000, but which their father
and guardian. Edmund K. Stallo. Bays
la far Irnn than that, have In the past
hen so extravagant In their mode of
livlnjt that they not only sprnt al
their Inrome. but kept Papa Stallo and
his lawyer, Charles It. tftoll. exceed
ingly busy raining: money with which
to stand off their creditors. Trades
people of all kinds wanted to get their
talons upon such bits of the Stallo
wealth as was due then and It was
quite a task to get the wherewltha
with which to stop their commercial
mouths. If Lawyer Stoll may be be
lieved.
The debt-oontracting habits of the
Stallo Kirla. their father's and his dis
tress over them were told of by Stoll
In Surrogate Fowler's court, where he
appeared to show cause why he should
not turn over to Stallo, as guardian of
the girls, vouchers representing mon
ey be had paid out In behalf of the
McDonald estate, which the Misses
Stallo Inherited. Stoll Is no longer
counsel for Stalin.
Lawyer Moll Rxplalas.
Mr. Stoll explained the situation and
added that he kept th vouchers on
lien for services rendered (and not yet
paid for) and for money advanced. He
aid be was perfectly willing to turn
over the vouchers when he had re
ceived his pay and got back the 11000
he furnished when the Stallo girls
were unable to raise a loan. 6toll aald
"A year and a half ago Stallo told
me that his daughters had such extrav
a rant habits they had already spent
JiO.OOO more thsn their Income had
been, and that he was at Ms wits' end
to get out of the difficulty. I bad been
counsel for the administrators of the
McDonald estate, and from them
Taised a loan of 15000 and also de
posited $1000 with the Massachusetts
Bonding Company to secure Stallo's
bondsmen. I am still responsible on the
bond of which the 11000 is deposited.
My own bill for services, which ap
pears among the vouchers, has not
been paid.
"The Stallos will not O. K. my ac
count as represented by the vouchers
nor will they say it is Incorrect, and
so there remains a possibility of fu
lure action on the guardianship bond,
and. that being so. I must decline to
turn over -vouchers that constitute
proof of the accounts I have rendered.'
MonralBSr Jewels Costly.
It was learned that within two
months after the death of their grand
father the Stallo girls purchased
"mourning Jewelry" consisting of
watches, black enamelled and diamond
studded. at 1250: black enamelled
chains at ITS and a diamond ring in
black settings at J550. Among th
many Items making up the account
pf Edmund K. Stallo, as guardian of
his daughter, Helena, are: Matheson

chauffeur. (300.
Stallo wants to resign as guardian.
It is declared that one reason why
opposition Is raised to the resignation
of Stallo until his accounts have been
Judicially settled Is that when the debt
for auto and chauffeur hire was con
tracted the Stallo girls were at their
Summer place on Prince Kdward Isl
and and the car and chauffeur, except
for a few hours while the girls were
pssslng through this city, were used
exclusively hy Stallo himself.
It also appears that In the Mount
Vernon National Punk Is an account
In the name of the Stallo girls amount

cold wind from the Northwest, which
drifted the snow and made travel most
uncomfortable.

OREGON COUNTIES IN LEAD
Statistics Gathered Concerning At

RALEM, Or, Jan. 12. (Special.)
That certain counties in the state lead
the world as far as school attendsnce
Is concerned Is shown In a statement
which Is being prepared by Superin
tendent Alderman. The purpose of
the statement is to secure statistics as
to the number of school children who
leave the eighth grade and continue to
go to school.
The table is not complete for the en
tire state, but a large number of coun
ties are in. Malheur and Sherman
counties show an average of 100 per
cent each for the pupils leaving the
eighth grade and continuing in school
Union has 93 per cent. Benton 82 per
cent and Wallowa 92 par cent.
Superintendent Alderman, at the ex
hibit held at Spokane several weeks
ago, showed a diagram for Lane Coun
ty claiming that this county led the
world. Superintendent Busch, of
Yakima County, Washington, took ex
ception to the assertion and forwarded
a statement to superintendent Aider
man showing that Yakima County aver
aged 91.2 per cent, which distanced the
Lane County claim. These later ng
ures, however, show that Oregon Is well
in the lead again.

LOS ANGELES. Jan. 12. Although
assailed from every angle in an all-day
attack, the testimony given by I. Man
sell Parks against Bert Conners in
the Hall of Records dynamiting trial,
withstood today all the attacks of the

was obtained on any point conoerning
the alleged conspiracy with which
Parks swore not only Conners, but six
other prominent labor-men, were con
nected, and before the end of the day
Lecompte Davis, one of counsel for
the prisoner, said that the witness'
testimony was "dangerous to Conners."
Court adjourned until Monday and
the state announced that It still had 10
more or less Important witnesses to

mitted that their case rested largely
upon destroying the credibility or botn

county detective, who also associated

Parks contradict himself, but failed.

that he "would show that Parks re
membered well only that which he was
