One day 80 years ago It was reported
to the Trinity board, which has charge
of all the lights on the coast of Great
Britain, that IA shoal had made In the
English channel about nine miles due
east of the Lizard. At the spot indl-
Gated there had been 30 fathoms of wa
ter ever since II British ship went to
sea, and the board Of course argued
that there had been mistake. 1t was
fishing craft which reported the shoal
and found only II feet of water over
1t, and craft was sent out Mt once to
make an official investigation What
had happened was this: 1t was bowl
der strewn bottom, and two or three
old wrecks had drlfted together and
piled up ON ench other until a danger
Gus obstruction had been formed. 1t
was as II II great rock had suddenly
been heayed up from the bottom, and
the board must guard against the dan
ger without delay.
Thirty years ago the divers dress
was not what 1t is now, nor could men
handle explosives under water as to-
day. After two or three vain attempts
TO clear away the wrecks the work was
left fer Il storm TO accomplish, and
meanwhile lightship No. 4 was moved
around from Mounts bay and anchor

mariners. Captain GroX had been In

Dakota Lignite All Right.

An experiment was made with
the Wilton Ignite coal in heating
the big Guaranty Loan building at
Minneapolis. The Ignite wessub-,
stituted for other steam coal in
the furnaces, and it has been found
to burn very satisfactorily. a
test is being made as to the CONF
parative cost of heating with lig-,
mite and other forms of fuel. Large;
quantities of the Lignite coal are
now being brought to Minneapolis
and the outlook is that. it will
shortly come into very general
use for heating purposes in private
houses. Stoves are being manu-
factured exclusively fol. burning

the problem of constructing CRATES

will utilize all the heat power in
the coal. These CRATES will soon
be. placed on the market and as

REFEREE REBUKES THEM.
HE SAYS w C. MORSE AND w S. PAINE
ARE UNFIT TO BE EXECUTORS.

The report of William II. Willis. the referee
in the Paine will case was filed in the office of
the Surrogate yesterday. AS The Tribune an
nounced last week. the report recommends the
removal Of Willis s. Paine and Waldo G. Morse
as executors Of and trustees under the will of
Ruby Tilden Paine. Mrs. Paine was a niece of
the late Samuel J. Tilden, and left estate
amounting to about 100000 BY the terms Of
her will her husband Willis s. Paine. is to
ceive $4,000 a year from the estate during his
lifetime. The will directed that the bulk Of the
estate after her husbands death should go to
her immediate relatives. The action in which
Mr.. Willis was appointed referee was begun by
Rollins & Rollins. attorneys for the rela-
tives. and charged improper conduct on the
part Of the executors as reasons for their re-
moval
The referee does not find that Mr.. Paine has
been proved to be guilty of the criminal actions
charged in the suit. but says:
1t is certain that the conduct of MI Paine in
unaccompanied 10 Mrs Paine's box in the Garfield
safe Deposit Company t"ice Itef her I[S'n i boI ae
behavior in connection with the suit to establish the
entirely i uneIpainel efforts to escape ttstfying

Guitar account Of the discovery OF the instrument:
taken in connection with the fact that his interest
had She died intestate are sufficient by themselves
arouse the very gravest suspicious in regard to
the fact that If he had known Of the existence or
viii had designed to prevent its probate he
could readily have destroyed ii either before or
after his wife's death
The referee finds that the conduct Of Mr.. Morse
in the preparation Of Mr.. Paines accounts was
in conflict with his position executor. and
grossly improper. and that Mr.. Paine's acts as
administrator were of the same nature. AS TO
the payment of $500 for legal services in de-
Tending Mr. Paines position administrator
previous to the discovery of the will. the referee
says:
The whole transaction displays total want OF
fidelity o their trust the part OF both OF the
executors, and shows that they arc unit Tor their
office.
Toward the end of the report appears the
statement that the acts of William s. Paine and
Waldo C. Morse. with their failure 10 acquire
possession of the assets and securities Of the
estate until nearly two years after their quali-
cation executors constituted such misconduct
as 10 show that they unfit for the execution
of their office and to call for their removal.

The operation, which is exceedingly one.

hoped for But the reserve energy was not sufi-
cient. on Monday night symptoms developed
which showed the lack of essential nutrition, and
the heart action began be irregular
In discussing the case last night the surgeon said
the fact that the patient survived operation
four days showed conClusvely that such operations
could a patients life If performed before the
strength had diminished greatly.
