Now .Schepman has filed. a, counter claim for $200 against Kauffman" He says -that glass which the contractor put in. the windows In his properties were of single strength and third class quality, while he had ordered double strength and first quality panes. Failure in otherways to - carry out the terms of the contract together with the loss which Schepman avers he will sustain In replacing the glass, will damage him in the sum of $200. he claims. To this answer in general denial has been filed by Kauffman. ' Schepman has another claim agaiast Kauffman in which he avers that $20 is unpaid on a suit of clothes which he made for Kaulfman's son. To this the councilman and contractor hai filed an answer stating that, he is not responsible for this debt, as his son had the privilege to do as he pleased with the money which he earned. The case was set for trial in ' the circuit court on Friday but it Is probable that other business will necessitate it being postponed for a time. KILLED BY All AUTO Lakewood, X. J- Nov.. 11.

START CAMPAIGII III RICHMOND TO GET MORE ROADS Committee of the Commercial Club Preparing Data to Interest Promoters of New

Traction Lines. 4? SPLENDID TERRITORY CAN BE OPENED HERE Local Business Men Want to "Tap" Williamsburg, Hagerstown, Fountain City, Boston and Other Towns. Data on the possibility of interest ing traction line promoters , in the construction of interurban railroads from this city and connecting with my of the smaller towns in the county and county seats in the surrounding counties is being secured by the committee on railroads of the Commercial club. - It will require several weeks to complete preliminary investigation of the several interurban projects now considered. But the matter will be pushed and it is probable several meetings with promoters will be held within the next two months by the club's committee. The movement probably is the most Important which the club has taken In several months. The propositions now before the committee are numerous, including interurban lines that will connect Hagerstown, Economy, Fountain City, Greensfork, Williams burg, Boston, Abington, New Castle, Connersville, Lynn and Winchester with this city. Estimates on the financial success of such projects are based on the pop ulation which will be affected, and after this is obtained it will be easy to figure on what percentage of this population 'Will trade - in Richmond. The wealth of the population affected is also considered In these preliminary ' calculations together witfiTother matters, which in all form an excel lent basis, for promoters to make ac curate estimates before starting con struction. " .- It is believed by the business men of Richmond that the towns above re ferred to and the communities near them are sufficiently wealthy and compacfly populated to warrant the construction of interurban lines that In turn will pay the investors in the project a good dividend annually and also Increase business among local business men and business men in the various towns entered by the proposed lines.

HEIRS III PROTEST

IU PHUHAIt lUUHl Objection to Approval of Final Settlement of McMahon Estate Made, ADMINISTRATOR OPPOSED PAYMENT OF $1,000 TO HIMSELF IS CONTESTED TOGETHER WITH OTHER ACTIONS A TRUSTEE IS WANTED. " Objection to the approval of the final report of Benjamin Hatfield of Dublin, as administrator of the es tate of the late William McMahon. a wealthy farmer living in Jackson township has been filed in the Wayne probate court by the 'heirs of the de cedent. They aver the administrator has improperly withheld sums from the estate and allege that he received too much for services as administrator of the estate when he paid himself $1,000.. His dismissal from the position has not been asked, except that the heirs desire Cora - M. Herbat be named as trustee for the collection of several notes due to the estate. In Hatfield's final settlement report filed in the court several weeks ago, he claimed that his services in . connection therewith were worth $1,000, having saved the estate several hun dred dollars in the collection of what he termed," bad debts, and had other wise been of. service to the heirs which justified him In receiving more than the amount which is prescribed by law. However, the heirs, including Mrs. Herbst, Luella M. Brown, and three sons. Frank E., Percy M., and Lloyd McMahon, declare the adminis trator performed no unusual services and is entitled to but $382.42, the amount fixed by law. - r W? No Litigation. No litigation or other complications arose In the settlement of the estate, the heirs claim: They further declare that statement 4 made by Hatfield in his final report that he had collected ad lebtlB. oattttg aydfcpray theJ court that he bo required to glve'proof of this fact. The heirs say there was no extraordinary . work I required r of Hatfield aa.adminlstrator,'? They ob ject to the following claims being de clared- worthless: Wilson note for $74.86; David Fouls, note, $200; Ira O, Stout, note 835; Charles-E.- Elsworth, note., $615. 3.7- They desire that Mrs. Herbst be named trustee to collect these. . ,. Desiring that they be consulted in the selection of a tombstone for the grave of their, deceased father, the heirs make no objection to $200 ' al lowance to himself for the tombstone. There was no agreement between the heirs and the administrator as to the amout to be " spent for a tombstone, except that it should not amount to more than '$200. No stone has been selected and no contract made for' the niacins- nf i marker over the de cedent's grave. Declaring that the taxes of. Henry county real estate Is a lien against the property, a condition over which the administrator has no jurisdiction as the heirs own the property now, they make an objection to Hatflelf s reten tlon of $125 with which to pay the 1910 taxes on the Henry county real estate, which will not be due , until 1911. A somewhat similar objection Ir made to his retention of $125 to pay the taxes of personal property in this county, which the decedent own ed. They claim this Is not sufficient the total tax amounting to $214.57 and petition the court to require the payment of the entire amount, Hat field to take credit for the expenditure when it is made. They ask that be be required to give proof on the retention of certain sums, which they contest, and to do this immediately in order that there will be no delay in the settlement of the state. The late William McMahon was wealthy farmer living near Dublin. In addition to the realestate he had considerable money out on mortgages and promissory notes, some of it being loaned in Illinois. The administrator was required to pay about $2,000 In delinquent taxes to the county on some of the property which the late Mr. Mc Mahon sequestered in Illinois.
