MUSIC SAID TO BAR CHURCH SALE.
LUTHERANS SAY PRESBYTERIANS WHOSE
CHURCH THEY WERE TO BUY vIO-
LATED TERMS OF DEED.

Trenton. N. j.. July u (SpeciaD.-The
fusal of the Evangelical Lutheran Church Of the
Holy Trinity of Jesus Christ to carry out
agreement to purchase the famous Scotch Pres
byterian Church resulted in suit. instituted In
the Court of Chancery to-day by the Presbytery
of Jersey City. to enforce the contract. The
Scotch Presbyterian Church was for years noted
for its adherence to the old Scotch Presbyterian
hatred of the of instrumental music in
worship. This restriction placed in deed
by George r. Mckenzie, wealthy Scotchman,
who purchased a number of claims against the
church when it's existence was threatened and
turned 1t to the congregation free from
debt. Another condition that should the
congregation fail to comply with the restric-
tions in the deed. the property should revert to
the Presbytery of Jesus Christ. to be used for
religious purposes. but subject to the original
conditions.
Subsequently the congregation transferred the
property. and later the Presbytery agreed to
sell 1t to the Evangelical Lutheran Church for
$4,000 After paying $500 of the purchase
price the Lutherans refused to carry out the
contract, holding that the Presbytery did not
have a marketable title by reason of the con-
ditions in the Mckenzie deed. To-day's suit to
compel the purchase was the outgrowth Of q
heated controversy between the two denomina-
tOnS.

Most of the Spate chairs were in the parks yes
terday but nobody tried collect fees for sitting
in them. Willis Holly. the secretary of the Park
Board. said the injunction secured by Spate pre-
vented any action by Commissioner Clausen, and
the injunction against Spate prevented the renting
OF the chairs. Consequently nothing could De zone

Park Commissioner Clausen and Oscar f. Spate
from maintaining the pay chair system in the
parks. Milton S. Guiterman represented the plain
tiff. while Assistant Corporation Counsel Blandy
appeared for the Park Commissioner and John
Delehanty represented Mr.. Spate Mr.. Guiterman,
arguing for Injunction said the free seats IN
the parks had been taken away from shady places
to make room for the pay chairs Class dlstlnc-
tiobs would be bred. he said, when those who paid
five cents to sit In the shade could soon at those
who had to sit In the sun.
1T is contrary to the spirit Of our institutions
the lawyer said. contrary to public policy. which
placed Commissioner Clausen where he is for
know that the policy responsible for his appoint
ment Park Commissioner is for the welfare OF
the public
Justice Fitzgerald remarked that the lawyer
should confne himself to the legal aspects OF the
case.
Mr. Guiterman declared that the contract be-
tween Commissioner Clausen and Mr.. Spate had
been made without authority there was no law
which allowed the Park Commissioner to grant
'r Mr. Bandy said that if the Injunction asked for
was granted II would prevent the Park Commis-
sioner from revokng the permit granted 10 Spate
Mr.. Clausen he continued, had granted the permit
in good faith. believing he was serving the @ inter
ests of the public. but having ascertained that
percentage of the public disagreed with the IDEA

Mr. Blandy said, legal. He denied that the
position of public benches IN the parks had been
changed to make room in favored places for the pay
chairs.
Commissioner Clausen was actuated by the best
motives Mr. Blandy added. and had the Interests
of the public always at heart. He characterized
Mr. Guiterman's speech mere claptrap.
Mr. Delehanty on behalf of Spate, held tnat tne
contract was legal He cited the authorities In
