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.

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.

ALBANY LEVY UNCHANGED
Increased Valuations Will Meet
Slightly Higher Budget.
ALBANY, Or.. Nov. 14. (Special.)
Though all other expenditures are
increasing. Albany's city tax levy for
the coming year will be no higher
than the levy made a year ago. The
budget presented to the city council
by City Recorder Lewelling. estimates
the expenses of the city curing the
coming year at 52,693. This is an
increase of almost $3000 over last
year's budget but since the city val
uation has been increased the levy
will be approximately 13.5 mills,
which is the same as the levy for
this year.
From all indications, however, the
local school district will be unable
to make the same showlnc as the city
and an increased school levy is in
prospect.
