RIVALS DEFEAT OWN AIMS V. S. Vli.SSKLS DESERT POUT Ol' CONSTANTINOPLE. Difficulty in Discharging and Find ing. Cargo Causes Inroads by Foreign Traders. WASHINGTON", Nov. 14. Loss to the United States of the trade through the port of Constantinople due to strons competition between American merchant vessels was reported by Consul-General Ravndal yesterday in a cablegram to the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce. American ships, the message said, have been at the. nort without notice of their arrival and have found great difficulty in discharging and finding cargo for the return trip. The result has been that owners are becoming discouraged, the report said, and are-leaving the field to their British, Greek and Italian rivals. The consul-general suggested that a combination of American lines be formed to make regular sailings be tween New York and Constantinople with responsible agents at the port. Few United States shipping board vessels call at Constantinople, it was announced at the shipping board to day, but these made a reasonably prompt turn-around and have secured return cargoes without difficulty. HIGHER PHONE RATE URGED Vale Commercial Club Approves Rise In Home Company Charges. SALEM, Or-., Nov. 14. (Special.) The Vale Commercial club has sent copies of resolutions adopted by that body recently to the . Oregon public service commission urging that, an increase in rates be granted the Mal heur Home Telephone company, which operates in that section of the state. In adopting the resolution the club asks that the increase be sufficient to provide for maintenance of the lines, provide for 6 per cent depre ciation and in addition a sum of money sufficient to pay the interest on the bonded indebtedness of the corporation. Under no circumstances, however, shall the advance v rates exceed the Burleson schedule, says the resolution. In agreeing to an increase in rates it has been stipulated between the telephone company officials and the Commercial club members that a res ident manager shall be maintained at Vale and that the service shall in no way be impaired because of the ad vanced cost of operation. CAT GUARDS HEN ROOST Gold Hill Feline Establishes Pro tectorate Over F'lock. GILD HILL, Or., Nov. 14. (Special.) Gold Hill has a feline that has the distinction of "ruling the roost." Several months ago a half-starved and wild kitten made its appearance in a pen of chickens at a home in the suburbs and fed with inmates of the enclosure. It has become quite docile since, but never comes within reach of a person, still feeds with the chickens, which have a fond attach ment for it, sleeps in the nests at night and during the daytime occu pies the nest while the hens are lay ing. ' Recently the cat repelled a skunk that attempted to invade the hennery. and caused it to be treed by the house dog, which held it at bay till morn ing, when it was killed. The fur netted the boy of the family $5. DR. 0. B. ESTES IS DEAD Astoria Physician Dies at Saleai After Prolonged Illness. ASTORIA. Or., Nov. 14. (Special.)

ROELFS' ESTATE TO GO TO 242 HEIRS Seven Years of Litigation Draws to Close. 0)- TAZWELL INHERITS CASE Special Act of Legislature in 1913 Passed to Facilitate Distribu tion of $100,000. After more than seven years in litigation, traveling half a dozen times from county to circuit court and twice to the supreme court, and requiring a special law from the legislature of 1913 to facilitate its handling, the Mary Roelfs estate was virtually settled by Circuit Judge Tazwell yesterday at the close of a three weeks' hearing and the $100, 000 property equitably distributed among 242 heirs. Entering of the final order in what was generally conceded to be the most complicated case ever handled in Multnomah county, was postponed one month to permit two very distant heirs to submit proofs, but the main work concluded yesterday. Mrs. Roelfs was an eccentric wom an who died at St. Vincent hospital March 1, 1912, leaving an estate, chief ly in cash, valued at more than $100, 000. Most of her property was inherit ed from her second husband, Thomas Jackson. Her third husband, Fred Roelfs, is still living, his home being at Long Beach, Wash. The woman was 78 at the time of her death, and her closest relatives had died long before. Courts Decide Division. Roelfs was bequeathed the Income on $10,000 for the remainder of his life. There were other small bequests but the most of the estate was left "equally between my cousins and the sisters of my deceased husband, Thomas Jackson." On the construc tion of that phrase, and particularly the meaning of the word "between," the matter went to the supreme court of Oregon which decided that Mrs. Roelfs intended to divide one-half her property between the sisters of her dead husband and the other half be tween her cousins. All the cousins and sisters had long since died and the great task was tracing the family tree and determin ing the heirs, the great majority of whom never heard of the old woman. There was one contest of the will and numerous hearings on various phaVes. At one time there were 84 attorneys interested in the case for different heirs. After seven years of litigation there are but two attorneys so inter ested. V. P. Winter . epresenting the sisters-in-law heirs and H. B. Adams the heirs of the cousins. More than three years were con sumed in securing affidavits, E. P. Murphy, executor of the will, making one trip to Europe and C. T. Haas, attorney for the estate, making sev eral transcontinental trips. Larsest Share la Fourth. Th "argest amount of the estate going to a single heir is one-fourth, the smallest share is one-eleven hun dred and thirty-secot. I part. Robert Plummer, son of a sister-in-law. is held entitled to the fourth of the prop erty, and the smallest share goes to Donald Kelly, United States navy, the great-grandson of Katherine C. Duffy, a deceased cousin. There were 582 exhibits to be con sidered in the course of the hearing. To aid in determination of the heirs, the 1913 legislature was called on to pass a special law authorizing the courts to fix a date on which all heirs had to make an appearance or there after forfeit all claim on the estate. Former County Judge Cleeton. who passed the case on to his successor. County Judge Tazwell. now Circuit Judge Tazwell, declared yesterday that for complications the case ex ceeded any on record in the annals of local courts. OREGON BREEDER IN EAST Frank A.
