Guy C. II. Corliss, who defended

is allowed thc full fee of $25,000
claimed by him from tho fund.
This gives him S7500 In addition
to $17,D00 paid him by tho orig

This is a modification of tho
Holt decree In the lower court,
which had to do with attorneys'
fees, and which denied a further
allowance to Corliss from the
fund and held that he must look
to thc churches for It. Belt hold
that the oriuignnl opinion of the
supreme court in the litigation
prevented him from allowing it
from thc fund.
Tho Coshow opinion affirms the
Belt decree in refusing to allow the
new trustees to repudiate tho sale
of the so-called "Clackamas prop
erty" to tho Sanation Army.
"Tho cross-appellants ( wht.ih
includes the m!W trustees) seek to
