(Bert) Med aer, guaraian lor raui, unaries ana Francis Metz, minor heirs of Jana Metz, deceased, Judge Fox today re. fused to approve the report, which was filed la the probate court on January IS. The court has arranged for a meeting with Medsker, at which, it la expected some adjustment of the report will be made. This guardianship has placed Medsker In the spotlight, in a rather un favorable attitude on more than one oc caaion. Once, he was threatened with contempt of court proceedure, because he did not make report in the matter, The Irregularities which Judge Fox found in his examination of the report were that he had asked compensation for nine years work and that he had not -reported in the matter for nine years. The law does not -permit com pensation after a period of such length, A report must be made every two years by the guardian. At 11 o'clock this morning, Medsker had not appeared In the court room. He had been notified to be present, but no word was received to the effect that he had been unavoida bly detained at Cambridge City, his borne. The report of the guardian shows that the total charges were $677.58 and total credits, ' $532.68, leaving a balance of $144.00.; ;,.Md8ker has turned over the balance, .of the estate to the county clerk and has tendered his resignation as guardian. PLAHS ARE ALTERED Commissioners Decide Not to Erect Women's House At Infirmary. NEW SCHEME CONSIDERED . believing that .it would be unwise,' at the present time, to spend approximately $15,000 for new quarters for the women inmates of the county infirmary, In view of the fact that other needed repairs will have to be made, the county commissioners have practically determined on another course of procedure and consulted Infirmary superintendent, Harry ' C. Meek; County Health Officer J. E. King and the architect on the matter today. It Is now the plan to tear down the cast wing of the administration building and construct a kitchen, dining room and boiler room and repair the women's Quarters. It, is estimated that the entire improvement will cost in the neighborhood of $8,000. As soon as the commissioners determine on- the policy to pursue, the board will a1r f- on .nn.nn.l.lUn o!1 a meeting of the county council, that .the appropriation' may be made. . ' It is proposed to convert the dining room and kitchen, in the women's quarters into sitting rooms. The ventilation will . be Improved and with these improvements county health officer, J. E. King, says that the women's quarters will be satisfactory from a sanitary point of view. REPORT Oil ESTATE Florence Boyd, administrator of the state of his deceased wife.

ACTION OF COURT IS FAR REACHING Returning of Trust Cases Will Greatly Affect Political Affairs. MAY BE DELAYED A YEAR TRUST-BUSTING CAMPAIGN OF PRESIDENT TAFT GIVEN SETBACK AND BLOCKS ROOSEVELT POLICIES PLAN. (American News Service) 'Washington, April 12. The announcement by the supreme court that the government suits against the Standard Oil company and the American Tobacco company must be re-argued Is today regarded as the most Important development of months in the complex political situation and of great importance in its expected ef fect on the congressional elections of next November. The delaying of, these crucial cases for probably a year has these effects: 1 President Taft's trust busting campaign is postponed, at least for the time being, crippled. . 2 His choice of a successor to the late associate justice Brewer Is hastened, when he had hoped for plenty of time. . . 3 The taking of further steps by the administration . toward carrying out the Roosevelt policies is to a large extent made impossible till after the November elections. While the" government is planning for the second arguing of the cases, and steps toward the selection of a tentative date by the government and the attorneys for the defendants are being argued, interest will center largely in the political effect and the choice of a successor to Justice Brewer. One view of the situation, particularly prevalent among regular and reactionary republicans, is that the delay in the trust cases will 'give the country opportunity to settle down financially and overcome 'the last tracts of the 1907 panic. The refusal of the court to make a decision , with only a' partial bench, however, is commented on chiefly in regard to Its problematical errect on the public and the country's attitude toward the republican party in relation to the tariff and trusts. Regular System. , . "Nothing ever goes to waste in this house." said the landlady from her Seat at the bead of the table. "What do you do. then, madam, with what's left over?- .a new boarder asked. "I bash it, ot course, she answered. "But what do you do." the boarder persisted, -with the bash that's left over? "Why, rehash it." - The Whale's Jawbena.

' THE FOREST PEOPLE. A Curious Scotch Settlement In the Heart of France. Attention has been called in France to a little British' settlement which still exists in the very heart of the country not far from Bourges, in the province of Berry. Its inhabitants have received the name Foretalns, or forest people. Their history is a curious one. In recognition of the services which John Stuart, constable of Scotland, rendered to the French nation one of Its kings, Charles VII., 500 years ago granted him a park in the forest of Hautebrune and subsequently gave the Scotchmen whom be settled there the right also of feeding pigs and cutting wood in the adjacent royal forest of Allogny, They also were exempted from the payment of general taxes, salt tax or the dues levied by the neighboring town of Bourges, and finally a royal magistrate was appointed for their special benefit. This magistrate used to sit booted and spurred, with his sword by his side, and for many years bis decisions were given without appeal not only in all civil bat in criminal cases as well which affected the proprietors or humbler Inhabitants of the forest. The Scotchmen cleared the forest of its old trees and planted instead orchards and then Invited others of their countrymen to come and join them. Since then they have preserved something of their Scotch origin as well as their lofty, stalwart, active and vigorous form. They cultivate both beards and whiskers and both in accent and peculiarities of speech show their descent. ; In dress they only differ from the inhabitants about them by wearing long leggings with ; spurs attached. Many of the names are Scotch or English, such as Talbot, Cromwell, HalUday and Godwin. Brooklyn Eagle. Going the Wrong Way. " A self conscious and egotistical young clergyman was called to a church in a small town In upper New York. After bis first service the youthful minister asked one of the deacons, a big hearted but extremely plain spoken old fellow, what he thought of "this morning's effort." The deacon was silent a few moments before replying. Finally he paid: ' "Well. Ill put it to ye in a kind of parable. It reminded me of Tom Dorgan's fust deer hunt, when be was green. He follered the deer's tracks all right, but he follered 'em all day in the wrong direction' Love and a Shining Mark. Percy I came to ask you for the hand of your daughter. Goldrox Which one? "Why.

"Yea. to a certain extent," replied the fair widow, "but marrying for love without a side issue of bread and butter is like sipping the froth from a glass .of soda water." Chicago

MUROOCK III OEFI

TO THE SPEAKER Red-headed Kansas Insurgent Tells Cannon lie Will Be "Looked After." RESENT CANNON TIRADE REMARKS SPEAKER MADE WHEN BILL FOR UPKEEP OF HIS AUTO WAS TURNED DOWN MAKE INSURGENTS HUFFY. (Palladium Special) Washington, April 12. "Speaker Cannon may Issue all the challenges he pleases during the consideration of the legislative program and no atten tion will be paid to them. When the bills, which must be considered are i out of the way, we will attend to the speaker's case," thus spoke Representative Murdock of Kansas, the redheaded fighter, and one of the leading insurgents of the house, today. Since the hitter tirade of Cannon yesterday, following the rejection by the house of a provision for 12.500 for the upkeep of the speaker's automo bile, the Insurgents have been wroth. They held an informal conference this morning and the outcome of that powwow means that before the end of the present session a resolution will be introduced declaring the speaker's chair vacant. The democrats are naturally expected to support thl resolution, as they did a similar one offered by Burleson of Texas, on March 19. and the house will then proceed to elect a successor to Cannon. The insurgents have endured about as much taunting from the speaker and suffered insolence about as long as they care to. Patience has almost ceased to be a virtue. The insurgents do not want to be put in the position of obstructionists, but the deposition of Speaker Cannon has practically been decided upon. It will come before the session ends, and will refute the pre diction of Speaker Cannon that he will be the speaker on March fourth, next.
