MISS MARY MILLER
WINS PROMINENCE
The
Woniun lawyer Who Won a
$30,000 Fee.
Miss Nellie O. Miller, stenographer
for Shank & Hall, has a sister, who
has won fame in Chicago through
the earning of a $30,000 fee for the
winning of an important suit. Her
photo and an extensive write-up ap
pear In Human Life for October, un
der the heading of Celebrities. We
quote from Hampton'B Broadway
Magazine for January:
There is nothing remarkable
about the fact that a woman lawyer
should win a big will case. Why
shouldn't she? As a matter of
fact, In many Instances, women
make better lawyers than men, espe
cially through natural Intuition.
Then again they are good talkers,
and persuaHive in argument."
There you have it. That Is
what Miss Mary E. Miller, of Chica
go, said that alter she hau won ner
suit on behalf of the grand child
ren of the late Wm. Bross, of that
city, fur the immediate distribution
of their grandfather's $3,000,000
estate. It does Beem odd there
aren't more women lawyers. Nobody
Is going to deny that they are good
talkers and the man who will not
admit that women are "persuasive
In argument,, hm!
Miss Miller, however can do
things other than talk. She was
admitted to the Illinois bar In 1895,
and since then has been Bteadlly at
work upon criminal and clval cases,
a trial lawyerbefore a Jury, practice
In Chancery Court, specializing in
the law of real eutate and wills.
She was born In Calhoun County,
Michigan, and Is a graduate of the
Chicago College of Law, which Is
the law department of Lake For
est University. She taught In the
Portland, Mich., High School, , took
a course In a business college, be
came a stenographer, in a Chicago
law office, studied law at night
and
"Have you had any proposals of
marriage since the great fee was
won by you?" she was asked.
"No not yet. Because, perhaps,
the money won't be paid over until
the formal order has been placed
in the court records. Maybe then
some men will want to propose to
mo by mall, but please don't suggest
such a thing." (She lives at 4516
Indiana Avenue, Chicago, 111.)
The argument for which she will
be paid hor rich fee Is interesting
under the provisions of the IItobs
will the estate was to be held In
trust until the youngest of the
grandchildren reuched the age of 30
years according to the construction
placed upon It by Azarlah T. Gait,
the administrator, who contested the
suit for Immediate distribution.
Miss Miller held that, under the
truHteo's construction, the estate
might never be distributed among
tho heirs It was Intended to bene
fit. The youngest of the grand-
Children, John Bross Lloyd, Is now
22 years old, and the oldest, Will
iam IIi'iiks Lloyd, In 33. Miss Mil
ler argued that should any of the
heirs din before the youngest reach
ed the age of 30 years, an injustice
would be done to them.
Judge Carper ruled that the
trustee's ('(instruction of the wi'.l
would make the eutate vest ut too
remote a period and ordered the
distribution of It now.

Independents Fall to Convince
Chicago.
The recent telephone convention
In Chicago secured a transitory
place In the limelight through the
Insulting of Chicago's mayor and the
city council by H. D. Crltchfield, who
officially represented it in replying
to words of greeting from the may
or's representative. The cause of
this lies In the chagrin of the Inde
pendent telephone Interests over
continued failures to secure a foot
hold In Chicago.
The Independent telephone peo
ple seem to fail to grasp the fact
that Chicago has reached a stage of
understanding of public utility ser
vice far in advance of that common
throughout the country, and that
antipathy to dual telephone service
Is a settled policy In Chicago, found
ed on conclusions reacted Dy care
ful study and Investigation. Chica
go does not bar out the Indepen
dents because It dislikes the Inde
pendents, b.it because it finds if to
its own interests to follow this
course.
Mr. Crltchfield had something to
say about "1,300,000 Independent
telephones" alleged to be within
500 miles of Chicago "which are de
nied admission to Chicago and Chi-
ii i. "
cago s great commercial lmeieam .
The answer of the Chicago Tele
phone Company to this was prompt,
brief and full. It was published as
an advertisement, with a telephone
operator pointing at the map and
saying:
I reach directly, every town, vll
lage and hamlet within a radius of
nearly 1000 miles. In all this ter
rltory no person wishing to tele
phone Is shut out of Chicago. Good
long distance lines and low rates
enable me to deliver thousands of
toll calls at your telephone doors
every day. If you know the name
of any town, village or hamlet of
500 or more Inhabitants that does
not have a Bell telephone connec
tion. olease let me know. I want
to get there. Main 294.
A few days after the Independent
telephone convention adjourned the
Chicago Tribune published the fol
lowing editorial, showing how little
Impression the convention vaporlngs
had worked on public opinion In
Chicago.
"The recent hearing of the Inde
pendent telephone companies before
the committee on gaB, oil and elec
trie lights has developed an interest
ing and Important fact.
It Is not the Chicago Telephone
affiliation with the Bell Company will
panics that object to connection for
long distance Bervlee. A represen
tatlve of these companies told the
committee that "we don't believe
that It Is practical for Independent
telephone companies to render satis
factory service where Its patrons are
served through the offices of a com
petltor."
In other words the position of the
Independents seeking access to the
city by means of the Illinois Tunnell
Company's telephone franchise Is
this: The company now In opera
tlon In the local field because of Us
tanco field, which Is almost as un
discriminate In favor of that com
pany's long distance service and
agnlnst Independent systems where
they compete. Therefore, It Is
necessary to have a dual system In
Chicago to provide for the efficiency
of the Independent for long distance
service.
If the theory ndvnnced wer. true
the conclusion thus drawn from It
would nevertheless be falso because
the advantages to the community
from avoiding this discrimination
and the maintenance of fnlr and effl
dent service would bo far outweigh
ed hy the Intolerable nuisance of the
dual system within the city to say
nothing of tho perpetuation of com
petttlve conditions In the long dls
lance lieu, winch Is almost as un
desirable.
But the theory Itself Is false be
cause It falls either to take Into ac
count or to give proper weight to
the factor of regulation. If It Is
impossible by public regulation to
maintain efficiency lu a service pro
vided Jointly by two companies It Is
probsbly Impossible to mnlntaln It
at all. The problem In the former
case may be more vexatious at first,
but It Is by no means Impossible. It
may be that a company nt first
would be so short-sighted as to en
gage In this underhanded policy of
discrimination, but the means of
bringing It to time are ample.
The dual system cannot be Justi
fied on such arguments as these.
It could, In fact, be Justified on one
ground only, nnd that the impotence
of public control of public service.

To be more specific, we may say
that on agricultural fair should not be

agement is in the hands of the grange
or has been specifically Indorsed by
the grange having Jurisdiction. A
store should not be known as a grange
store uuless conducted by the gTange
or giving special rateB to members of
the grange through grange authority.
A paper has no real authority for the
use of the word grange In Its title un
less Its policy Is directed by the or
ganization, but gruuge departments in
papers designed for other fields do not
come within this restriction, for they
simply contain grange news and do
not carry any policy or responsibility
of the grange. The use of the word
grange In the title of banks without a
controlling Interest in such banks be
ing In the bauds of directors chosen
by the grange, whereby special priv
ileges would be secured to members
of the grange, Is au unauthorised and
Improper use of the fulr nam of the
grange.
Other Instances might be cited In
which wrong impressions are convey
ed and the name of the grange placed
In great jeopardy by the use of Its
name. In a word, the name of our or
ganization should be restricted by ac
tion of the national grange to such
enterprises as at least hare their poli
cies dictated and their affairs directed
by members of the grange In some of
ficial capacity, for any other course In
cose of disaster would bring much
odium upon us, even though we have
no opportunity to prevent such disas
ter. We do not undertake to say that
an agricultural fnlr, store, paper or
bank using the name grange In Its
title should necessarily be financed by
the organization, but we do most em
phatically assert that the use of the
name carries with It or should carry
with It the authority to dictate the pol
icy and direct Its general management

this tube Is inflamed you have a

deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con
