ADMINISTRATRIX
AS
MARR
IAGE IS
PROVED
Mrs. Inez Gatchett Produces
Certificate; Husband's Sister
Was Witness. '
Mrs. Inez Gatchett was appointed by
County Judge Taswell this morning as
administratrix of the estate of Fred
erick G. Gatchett, who died here
March 8.
One day after Gatchett's death and
before his burial, five sisters filed a
petition with the county court asking
for the appointment of John J. Mac
Mahon as administrator. The petition
was granted.
Three days later Wilson T. Hume,
representing Charles R. Gatchett, filed
a motion demanding that the letters
of administration be revoked, on the
ground ef undue haste and lack of
proper consideration. At the hearing
the existence of Inez Gatchett was
made known to the court for the first
time. The genuineness of her marriage
to Gatchett was questioned and a Cita
tion was Issued by Judge Tazwell fof
her to explain her relationship. She es
tablished her widowhood by producing
a marriage certificate, showing she
married Gatchett March 29, 1917. The
certificate was witnessed by one of the
sisters, who had previously proclaimed
ignorance of her brother's marriage.
The present Mrs. Gatchett was di
vorced by William Extel Llnburg In
July, 1908, and by Robert J. Cratty in
December, 1814. The Gatchett estate
is said to be worth J1200. about $800 in
cash and 400 in real estate.
MRS. MUNDY GIVEN DECREE
The municipal jitney bus line be
tween Portland and Linnton does not
meet with the favor of John M. Mann,
commissioner of public utilities, unless
such a venture can be maintained with
out loss to the city.
Mr. Mann points out that Stephen
Carver, bolder of the Jitney bus fran
chise between the two points, has en
deavored for several months to give
up his franchise and end transportation
service, on the ground that the line is
losing money.
The possibility of cttywlde jitney serv
ice, following the ' special election on
May L Mr. Mann says, also should
be taken Into consideration before a
large sum of money la expended in
autotnobtle buses anfi other, necessary
equipment
"Linnton residents are entitled to
good service." Mr. Mann said, "and If
the data which I am collecting shows
that a line can be onerated between
the two points at other than a loss, I
wlil favor the immediate establishment
of the line."
Mayor Baker Wednesday declared it
the duty of the city council to estab
lish Jitney bus service between Port
land and Linnton and Instructed Mr.
Mann to work out and present a plan
for such a line at the next council
meeting. ,

5 . the patriotic side of business and of
business advertising. ' He urged that
more than ever the principle of conserv-

Advertisers in the east, he said, are
realizing that they have not done their
full duty by merely calling attention to
their wares they must also help solve
the country's war problems by encour-
aging the patriotio spirit.
