office furnishings, and other equip-
ment without their consent. They
contended that their interests in the

ties was controlled by their mother,

ing both parties to the suit, when pa-
pers which are supposed to have been

strumennts, Mrs. Tufts will take over
ter children’s interests in the lumber
yards, transferring to them notes and
securities on property in West Texas
imounting in value to their interests
hi the lumber yards. A message from
her bankers at Los Angeles to the ef-
fect that she had signed the papers
gnd, that they had been mailed, was
ife&lved by Mr. Hawes ~Wednesday
morhing, Mrs. Tufts declared that she
was satisfied with the terms of the
sale of the yards which was made
through attorneys May 30.
The case against the Kelsay-Hawes
company will be dismissed as soon as
the Roe children receive the papers
from their mother, according to Attor-
ney Morgan Bryan, who represents
them.
