CALL BOARD TROUBLES.
The Board of Directors Sustained at
a Special Meeting.


A special meeting of the San Francisco
Produce Exchange Call Board Association
was held yesterday morning. as a result OF
which very decisive step was taken. 1t
may or may not lead TO radical changes In
the directorate.
The meeting was called TO ascertain
whether the directors should be sustained
IN their action in refusing to change rule
Il. as they were requested to do at meet
ing of the association held on the 18th inst
There has always been a rule Of the
board that in case parties are unable to
make delivery Of grain through any circum-
stances that might arise, then the measure
of damage to the buyer caused by non
delivery Of the grain should be ascertained
by committee on the basis OF the actual
value of the grain in this market and for
shipments uninfuenced by manipulations
or speculative measures
This rule tie board Of directors did away
with. so that il the seller cannot make de-
livery Of the grain he is entirely at the
mercy of the buyer, who can demand from
him any price he sees fit to name.
The association last week requested the
directors to restore the rule, and they in
turn called Yesterdays meeting, which
quarters OF an hour, voted by majority Of
AZ to 50 TO sustain the directors.
The result Of this action Is that in eases
of non-delivery of grain, the basis of settle
ment is not the market value of the grain,
but any price the buyer may manipulate
1t to.

THE LEvINSoN ESTATE.
Attorney Philbrook's Petition to Re-
move Administrator Goodwin.

Judge Coffey held court until after 6
o'clock last evening. The occasion of the
protracted session was the hearing of the
petition filed by Attorney Horace w. Phil
brook, asking for the removal Of Mr.. Good
win as administrator of the estate of Samuel
Levnson, deceased.
Mr.. Pbilbrook has been employed as the
administrator attorney. Goodwin created
something of a sensation on Tuesday after
noon IN Judge Wallace's courtroom by dis
missing his attorney and substituting In his
place Barclay Henley and Howard Mae
Sherry. This was done in an offensive
manner and while the proceedings were
pending In an action brought against New
man Levinson by Goodwin as admins
TRAITOR OF the Leylnson estate. Attorney
Philbrook retaliated yesterday by asking
for the removal of the administrator.
The revelations before Judge Coffey dis
closed q very curious state of affairs Phil
brook and Goodwin up to few days ago
had maintained very amicable relations
According to the statement made by the
attorney on the witness-stand. he had
reason TO believe that Good win, as admin
lstrator OF the Levinson estate, was abou {
to compromise tho accounting suit upon the
payment to him by the Newmans of $4,000
This would have left nothing to the heirs.
as the sum would have been hardly suf-
fcient to pay the administrators charges
and attorneys fees. Mr.. Pbilbrook said he
had never In his life consented to the COM
promise OF law suit in which the attorneys
took all the money, leaving their clients
nothing.
Goodwin testified that the proposed COM
promise was the payment Of $4,000 by the
Newmans on the condition that the charges
made against them should be fully re-
tracted. They were willing to paw this
amount even in the event of Judgment be-
ing found In their favor but they desired il
to be understood that they were not paving
81 to Levinson's heirs. The administrator
and the attorneys might do with the money
whatever they pleased, but there was to be
no understanding that the heirs were to be
paid.
Jacob B. Rsnstein. the attorney for the
Newmans fatty c0ntradicted the statement
made by Goodwin. and said there was no
condition imposed that the heirs should
take nothing. On the contrary, 1t was ex-
pressly stipulated that the heirs were to
sign release of all further claims. accom-
panied by q retraction.
The hearing Of the petition for the re-
moval of Administrators Goodwin will be
resumed before Judge Coffey at o'clock
to-day. Before Judge Wallace TO-DAY the
argument of counsel will be heard in the
matter OF the action for the accounting.
