J. C. Wakefield administrator. In his will he expressed confidence in Mr. Wakefield and said it was only with difficulty he had been induced to accept the task.

Any ruling by Mr. Wakefield on interpretation of the estate was to be final and not subject to any ruling by the court. How Estate Was to Be Shared. Mr. Hughes, a bachelor, wished his mother and five brothers or their children to share a life estate in his property.

Upon the death of the mother and the five brothers the estate was to be divided among the surviving children. Should Mr. Wakefield die, the Old National bank was to become administrator. Mr. Hughes died in 1910 and Mr.

Wakefield administered the estate. During his administration one brother, a bachelor, died. His share passed to the other brothers and the mother. Then Mr. Wakefield died and the Old National took over the administration.

Recently the last of the brothers died, the mother having predeceased him. The Old National sought to distribute the estate among the surviving children of the brothers but five grand-nieces protested, claiming they were entitled to the share of their fathers. -4 Second air force personnel and equipment at Felts field were inspected recently by the new commanding general, Major General Frederick L. Martin, accompanied by Brigadier General John B. Brooks, heading the bomber command.

James McMillan, 85, the last of Spokane's old-time horse cab drivers, will be held at 8:15 Friday morning at St. Aloysius church. The Rev. Father McAstocker will conduct the service. Rosary will be held at 8 o'clock tonight at Hennessey's funeral home.

He died Tuesday night after a two-year Illness. Mr. McMillan was widely know as "Mac" and a favorite for years with those wealthy enough to afford to ride a cab in the days when they were drawn by horses. For years he was a familiar figure with his cab as it stood nightly before Jack Wilmot's saloon at Howard and Riverside. He came to Spokane in 1888 and on the night in August, 1889, when Spokane was destroyed by fire, it was in his cab that the wealth in Cannon's bank at Wall and Riverside was loaded and driven safely to Mr.

Cannon's home on the South Side. Mr. McMillan in later years often reviewed this scene. For more than 20 years, from the first day he arrived in Spokane, he drove a cab for the Con. ley Shea company.

When the horses were replaced by motor power he was one of the last to surrender to the trend of the times. Finally he bought himself a model Ford, but it was never the same to him. Twenty-five years ago he retired although he remained in good health until two years ago. He was born in Alexandria, Ontario. He is survived by his widow, Elizabeth, and one stepdaughter, Mrs.

Beryl Fiske, at the home, N2608 Hogan; two sisters, Mrs. M. D. Hoyt, Glasgow, Mrs. Katherine Ann Blackburn, Cornwall, Ontario: two stepsons, Jack Best, chief deputy sheriff in King county; Fred Best, Tacoma; a stepdaughter, Mrs.

William, Seattle attorney and chairman of the King county Republican central committee, is coming to Spokane tonight to deliver the annual Lincoln day address at the Spokane hotel.

W. C. Howe, chairman of the committee on arrangements, has prepared a program of entertainment for the occasion which is expected to draw a record crowd. Claude D. Randall will be toastmaster.

An appeal was made yesterday for Representative Charles H. Leavy to stay on the job in congress, In the event his appointment to the federal bench is confirmed, 'until the amendment providing pensions for the President and members of congress Is repealed. Almer Mc Curtain, 203 Hutton building, secretary of the Washington-Idaho Farmers' union, wrote Leavy that public sentiment was opposed to pensions for congress. Terming it the "greatest political blunder" ever cominitted by congress, he appealed to the Fifth district representative to use his influence toward securing the repeal of the pension act. Semis First of Repeal Petitions.

Al the slime time Mc Curtain wrote President Roosevelt and sent the first installment of petitions to Leavy calling for the repeal of the pension act. Thousands of signatures are being obtained to these petitions, which are being circulated by farm organizations and individuals in Montana, Idaho, Oregon and Washington. Requests for petitions were received yesterday by Mc Curtain from Flint, and from Rochester, N. Y. Ile said three petitions were completely filled at Wilbur in Iwo hours and a petition in Spokane rereived 65 signatures in less than three hours.

In the meantime the "bundles for congress" idea continues to spread. Letters from eight states were received yesterday by the Athletic Round Table with indorsements and offers of support. These writers were from points as iiistant as Connecticut and Pennsylvania. Mrs. C.

R. Bliss. Whitefish. lauded the "bundles for congress" idea and proposed that the Round Table dispose of its surplus articles of clothing donated to the "suffering" congressmen, by sending them to the Holland Seamen's home in Iloboken, N. for the benefit of Dutch sailors.

I Mobilization of all units of city Defense Sunday afternoon, February 22, promises to be one of the major mass assemblages undertaken thus far by the Defense I council, it was stated yesterday by Perry E. Dye, executive secretary. Air raid sirens will be sounded in short blasts for two minutes at 1 p. m. Members of the various units will assemble at their stations and after a roll call and a report will be dismissed.

The Intention is not to detain the men longer than needed, as the purpose, according to Secretary Dye, is to find how the various units respond and locate the weak spots, if any. All Clear Signal at IL At 3 p. m. the all-clear signal, in a long, continuous blast for two minutes, will be sounded by the sirens. Letters are being gotten out by headquarters to unit chiefs asking that they make every effort to have the mobilization a success.

In the canvass of their sectors by air raid wardens, now under way, they will gather information as to the vacant houses in the city, whether they are for rent or for sale. A census of vacant rooms will also be taken, together with listing the names of women and children. District 2 Gets Instructions. District No. 2 of the auxiliary unit of city Civilian Defense, I consisting of 110 men, met last night under the command of Major Falky E.

Fogelquist at the Manito Masonic temple to receive first aid instructions from Dr. Sidney Milbank of the Red Cross. Major Fogelquist is the acting chief of the auxiliary police unit during the absence of Chief Bowler from the city.
