Judge Fox May Turn Over

$20,000 Left by Miss Mary E. Smith to White's Institute, Wabash. Ind. I0UNTY ORPHANS ARE GIVEN A HOME THERE Last Week Judge Fox, E. B. Grosvenor and Wilfred Jessup Inspected White Home And Indianapolis Home. While no definite arrangement has been made yet It is very probable that in the course of the next few weeks Judge Fox. of the circuit court, will order that approximately X.00O. left by the late Miss Mary Emily Smith, to establish an orphans home In this county or to add the above sum to the endowment of some established institu tion, be added to the endowment fund of White's Manual Training school. lo cated near Wabash. The matter Is left in the hands of Judge Fox and he stated this morning that after careful investigation, he believed the above course would be the best to pursue. Judge Fox, in company with K. B. Grosvenor, one of the trustees of the estate, and Wilfred Jessup. attornt-y for the estate, visited White's Manual Training School, and the IndianaiHs Orphans' aslylum Friday and Saturday of last week. The workings and all details of both Institutions were carefully investigated. For County Orphans. Wayne county has been sending Its orphan charges to White's Institution for several years and at the present time has twelve occupants there. The Institution la Incorporated and run ou a splendid business basis under the management of James Moorman, perintendent. who Is well known In thla miiiM At tK. - Ka lnslltatlon.has.147 children In It The farm Includes OHO acres of land. In discussing his visit this morning. Judge Fox stated that he was well pleased with White's institution. He said that the fund left by Miss Smith was not sufficient to establish a home in this county and that it was his judgment, and also the judgment ot Dr. Grosvenor and Mr. Jessup that some established home be endowed with the funds at hand. The question of disposing of the fund to the best advantage Is left entlrcl to Judge Fox. as shown In Item six of the last will and testament of Miss Smith, which is as follows: Terms of the Will. "As I have no brother or sister or other descendants, parent or child. I have always desired that the residue of my estate should be used to benefit the condition of orphan children. I therefore hereby give, devise and bequeath to my executors, Albert Atchi son Smith and Elmer B. Grosvenor, as trustees. In trust, all the residue and remainder of my estate, real, personal and mixed, to be a fund In their hands known as the Mary Emily Smith Fund and to be used by them to establish, provide and maintain a suitable home for the care of orphan children In Wayne County. Indiana, or If, In their judgment they deem best, they may, with the approval of the Wayne Circuit Court, donate said fund to any Institution organized and existing as an orphan's asylum or orphan's home, under the laws of this state." If the fund Is given to the above mentioned Institution, It Is probable that Wayne county will not be given any special privileges. However, such details of the proposed gift have not been worked out Lover of Children. Miss Smith was past 80 years old when she died. She was always a lover of children and so left by far the largest portion of her estate to the Wayne county orphans. The orphan's placed In White's Institute are sent from all over the 'state. The counties from which they come are charged a per diem of 30 cents which Is approximately the cost to the Institution of boarding, clothing and providing for them. Just this morning, county auditor. Demas Coe sent a check to Superintendent Moorman for $130 to meet the expenses of the local orphans at the institution for the past few months. White's Manual Training: school has been an established Institution for a number of years. An old Friend named White left hie estate for the organization of an orphanage and the institution was first called White's Institute, but after Its Incorporation, the name was changed to White's Manual Training School. - The Indiana Yearly Meeting of Friends has general supervision over the institution and one of the members of the board of trustee appointed - by Indiana.
