New York. Jan. I5-Dr John D.
Quaekcnbos, professor emeritus OF psy-
chology In Columbia University, is de-
fendant in an action brought by his sis
ter. Mrs. Theodore r. Shear. and his
aunt, Miss Jane A. Duncan, who have
applied To the surrogate for his removal
from the trusteeship OF fund left by
his mother. At her death. In 1859. she left

ouackenbos, Mrs. Shear and Miss Dun
can.
Besides involving the family In a bit

comic side. mince pie and woman I'm
the guiss OF a Christmas messenger were
employed 10 serve the aunt with process
Mr.. Shear who is lawyer and repre-
sents his wife and her aunt in the litipa-
tion, said last night that the case Is now
being heard by Charles Mas as referee
Mr.. Shear said the elder Mrs Quacken-
bos died in 1882 leaving the money in her
sons hands as trustee. He invested the
money, the lawyer said, and for long
time paid interest TO Mrs, Shear and Miss
Duncan.
They had received no interest In eigh-
teen months up to few weeks ago,
when application was made TO the sur
the professors removal as executor.
In the course OF the hearings before
the referee, counsel for Professor Qusck-
enbos desired 20 call Miss Duncan as
witness, but she evaded service OF sum
mons until Christmas morning Mr.
shear said the old lady every year re-
ceives st Christmas pie from an old
friend. When the basement bell rang that
morning and young woman bearing
steaming mince pie, asked for Miss Dun
can, she was admitted without suspicion.
Miss Duncan met her in the parlor and
the messenger placed the pie in her
hands. Across the upper crust lay a sum
mons directing her TO appear before the
surrogate as witness.
The ruse succeeded only partly. Mr.
Shean said the subpoena was only
copy OF the original order. AS soon as ne
discovered this fact he explained to the
surrogate that the service WAS invalid,
and for that reason Miss Duncan has
not appeared as q witness I'm the case.
The lawyer said the pie appeared TO be
an excellent one, but IL formed no part
OF the Christmas dinner.
Professor Quackenbos declined to be
seen at his home. SSi West Twenty-eighth

This woman opened an account with
Mr.. Sage last summer. The account was
closed only when this action was begun
At that time Mr.. Sage paid her every
Now IL stands TO reason that she would
not have opened an account with him n
there had been any hard feelings such
as 4 suit would indicate, doesn't it?

There is absolutely nothing to this

womsn's complaint is that in which she
says she has got nothing from Mr.. Sage.
That is very true She has got nothing
under any such agreement and, further
more, she never will get anything. We
deny everything. Has she any letters
from him? Well, she may have q few.
