died in debt and that the estate had been throw
ing blocks OF Metropolitan Street Railway secur-
tiles the market, were characterized by close
friend of the family as utterly unfounded and the
handiwork of a Boston clique anxious to depress
the market at all hazards.
at is a fact" declared the Trbunes informant
that everything is proceeding with quietness and
order in the administration Of the estate and
that Harry Payne Whitney comes down only one
two days a week. The statement that the estate
IS selling Metropolitan Street Railway securities Is
entirely uuwarranted, and the report that MI
Whitney did not leave fortune, but died in debt
is too nonsensica for discussion"
1t was denied that the house at Sixty-eighth-st
and Fifth-aYe.. which Mr.. Whitney occupied, had
been sold TO James Henry Smith The intiuatton

Cleveland. May 2--The Bessemer Orc Associa-
ton. which has for number OF years fixed the
selling price OF Lake Superior ores has ceased to
exist. The members of the association met here
to-day and after conference OF several hours an
nounced that 1t had been found impossible TO reach
an agreement, and a result the association
was dissolved. At the close OF the conference the
following statement was given cut by prominent

The predominating reason for this failure to come
TO an agreement as heretofore that the So

bic that they alone should stand the entire re-
striction OF output that the diminishing demand
seemed to call for.
1t was pointed out by those who attended the
conference that the failure reach an agree
ment would have little tendency to demoralIze
the ore market, because the seasons contracts
have already largely been made. In addition
to this, by far the largest consumer OF ore in the

His Ear Fell in Her Lap.

New York, April ia wax
ear which fell into the lap of an
heiress while her japanese sutton
was proposing to her, figured in a
suit brought by Alfred Beck
against VIM. M. Elsen for 1926 in
the Yorkville Municipal court yes
terday. According to the story
told by the defendant the Japan
csc was one of the Samural, and
in a duel fought in his native land
he lost nearly the whole of his left
ear. When he came to this /coun-
try a year ago he had one ear and
a stump, and he found the stump
was a drawback to social sue,
cess, despite the episode of the
duel. He went to Mr.. Beck and
asked him if he could supply an
artificial ear, so well counterfeit
ing the other member as to make
folks think both ears were ali
right, and Mr.. Beck said he could.
The order was given and MIR.
Beck made the ear. The Jap took
it and put it on. He made the ac-
quaintance of a young American
woman of means, and they fei' in
love with each other. One even
ing he called on the young lady,
and was proposing marriage to
her, with every prospect Of a ia
vorable answer. Becoming ami
mated, he shook his hands and
head, when suddenly his left ear
fell off in the young lady's lap,
She gave a scream, jumped up
and ran out of the room. That
was the last the Jap saw of her.
