The Nagies, on relief several years, were married 18 years ago. The 11.12th child was lborn last ITRanaaary. It was a ,girl and Mrs, Nagle . expressed pleasure, though she !would have preferred twins, Mrs. -Lucy Alice Ti,mlecit—!Grey- eyed and buxom, Mrs. Timleck has 18 children. Her husband is attached to the city parks department. The Ti.nilecks have a motor car, a maid and a regular income. Mrs. Thnleck is 38 years old. Mfrs. Annie Smith—Small and dark haired, Mrs. Smith is the wife of a city 'fireman. The Smiths didn't Tay any attention to the Millar baby race until near the 'finish. They have nfnc children, all horn 'within the specified 10 -year period. Mrs. Isabel Mary MacLean—Like the Smiths, the Mac' Leans didn't •da much talking about their chances of winning. Mrs. MacLean is 34, wife of a civil servant who works in the On- tario legislative buildings. Semi-final legal arguments attend- ing settlement of the fantastic race that ended Oct. '3h 119'316, took ,place in a courtroom half -fulled with curious spectators, lawyers and newspaper- men. The 'hearing last little more than an hour. Decision in the cases of Mrs. Ken- ny and 'Mrs. Clarke was expected ;Feb. 115. If Mrs. Kenny is admitted to the charmed circle, she and .the other four winners will receive $100,100'0 each. +If 'Mrs. Clarke and Mrs. Kenny both are admitted, six mothers will get ;18+3;3130 each.

Ile died 'Oct. 31+, 119126. lAt least a half-dozen "dark horse" entrants were prepared to ',fide claims last week and chief interest concern- ed the number of eligible children each would claim. Barring surprises, mothers with nine eligibles 'were ex- pected bo ;share the $500400 estate. A .notable absentee as the hearing started, was Mrs. ILillian, (+One- (Punch) Kenny, who has claimed 112 and 1'3 'births during the 410 -year per- iod—she wasn't always sore how many. Mrs. 'Kenny's attorney was ex- pected to .offer proof of nine 'births• (Among the early arrivals; each claiming nine eligibles, were Mrs. John Nagle, Mr's. Arthur Timleck Mrs. Alfred Snaith. First Of the "dark horse" arfivals at 'Osgoade Hall was M.rs, Lydia. Doyle. She said her 110 -year record was eight births. Representing the Millar will execu- tors, W. N: Tilley, IK.C., addressed the snarl first. He recalled that .the validity of the stork denby ,clause of Miilar's twill had 'been established by the courts. It would seem that four .mothers could be fisted' as having given !birth to nine 'children ;during the specified period," he said, +namabg them as 'Mrs. Nagle, •Mt's.:'Timleok, 'Mrs, Smith and Mfrs.

Mrs, Lillian !Kenny shows a regis- tration of nine children within the period but we'+ve called .upon her for evidence of deaths of children, he said. 'That has not +been supplied so we are unable to say how many were still -born." .Mr, Tilley cited precedent for re- garding ,still -births as not actual :births. Dealing further with the claims of 'Mrs. +Kenny, he saki the maximum number of births she could claim ,was nine and this figure may be altered when further information was re- ceived. "She can only share with the four others and possibly not' share at all, depending on registrations," he added. Mr. Justice Middleton asked who Sher any of the mothers of eight wish- ed to contest claims of .those with nine. No claims were entered. "The next thin., to decide is Whe- ther Mrs. 'Kenny or 'Mos, 'Pauline Clark can be grouped with the other four," Mr, Justice 'Middleton said, Legitimacy of ,five sof Mrs. Clarke's nine 'births is in question. The courts have decided illegitimate children are inelilgible. Mes. Clarke 'has had 10 children," said C. R. MiaKeown, appearing for the 25 -year-old mother whostated re- peatedly that five of her (babies were 'born after she separated from her husband: "Our contention is that the children of Mrs. Clarke are all legitimate and all registered," the attorney said. Mr. Justice Middleton asked whe- ther 'hs was living. He was; 'Mr. Mc- Keown said, The 'judge remarked that one 'birth certificate showed A. H. ,Medill. as father of a child born in '1112315 to Mrs. Clarke. Mr. McKeown submitted that child- ren born in 'wedlock were 'legitimate. J. R. Cartwright, also representing Airs. Clarke, said nine of the children were •born b Toronto within the specified period. The 40th was born just outside the city and .therefore not eligible. Mrs. +Clarke had lived with or visits with her husband during the period. and there was a strong presumption all nine children were "lawful child-. ren. The 'births were registered ac- cording to tennis of the 'Millar will. Fear of her husband attempting to gain custody of the children led to the registration .of 'Medill as a (parent, according to ata affidavit. . Mr. 'J'us'tice Middleton asked if any of the contending mothers wished to challenge Mrs. Clarke's case. NIr. Til- ley saki it was,•am to 'Mrs. :Clarice to prove her claim.. .Mr. Justice Middleton said he was "not :greatly impressed" Iby the argu- ment far Mrs. ,Clarke. "I should like to produce the •elvid= once of Mns. Clarke," said Mr. Mc- Keown. Lt was :decided that argument would take .place Feb, 1215. •
