Fight Over $100,000 Fortune
Left to Mercer Will Cause
Executor Currier to Quit.
RslaUvo* of th© late }1rs. Barbara
K. Dodd will contest her will which
bequeathed the bulk of her fortune,
approximately $100,000, to Mercer
University. Charlen 1$. Currier, ex
ecutor, has been informed of the pro
posed contest by Mrs. Fannie T. Ack
erman, of New York, sister of Mrs.
Dodd.
A breach with her relatives .several
year-ago caused Mrs. Dodd, widow of
the late Philip Dodd, m wealthy At
lantan. to destroy a will executed in
1906. in which a considerable sum
wa.a set ttsid© for her brother and
sister and their children. It is said
a disagreement following the estab
lishment of a sanitarium at Mrs.
Dodd’s old residence on Whitehall
Street, by the sons of Henry S. Dibble,
her brother, led to thu estrangement.
Attorney C. P. Ooree. who drew {
the last will, said It was clearly Mrs. •
Dodd’s intention that little be left
her relative*.
Mrs. Dodd had considerable trouble ;
with her nephews about a loan on a
sanitarium established some years
ago.'’ said Mr. Goree. ’ In fact, she 1
had to take the matter into the courts
for a settlement
"That is why the Mercer bequest
was not In the form of an endow
ment, but as a fund t«> bo loaned de
serving young men. I have not been
Informed of any intention to contest
the will and I can not see what
grounds the contest will be based
upon.”
!t is recalled that Mrs. Dodd be
queathed to her brother, Henry S.
Dibble, $5,000 to be held in trust;
that be was to receive only the pro
reeds from its investment, and that
at his death the. amount was to re
vert to the Mercer fund. To her sis
ter, Mrs. Fannie T. Ackerman, was
left a similar sum, without incum
brance.
Charles K. Currier, president of the
Atlanta National Bank, executor of
the will, said Monday that if a con
test is made he will quit.

Shows Trade Is Brisk
Decrease of 17,799 Idle Pieces of
Rolling Stock Regarded as a
Good Sign.
No slackening in general trade
i. fleeted by th* American Railway
Association's bulletin on the number
of idle freight cars in the United
States and Canada on May 1.
' 'n the contrary, a decrease o& 17.-
799. a« compared with April 15, would
Indicate a quickening of business.
The decrease for the two weeks 1*
the largest reported since the early
part of June, 1912.
On May 1 there was a total of 39,-
799 Idle (urs. compared with a short
age of 51,169 on November 7, when
the railroads were congested and in
need of rolling stock. A year ago
idle cars numbered 138,881.
The shrinkage in cars was due
largely to the brisk demand for coal
car*, which caused a shrinkage in
that class of rolling stock from 19.649
to 8,610 cars.
