M'CURDY IS
ONLY READY
To RESIGN

New York. Nov. 2s.-President McCurdy
has not rendered his resignation to the
Mutual's board OF directors. He has, IT is
understood NOTED certain of his friends
on the finance committee that he stands
ready TO get out If they think IL is 10 the
best interests OF the company for him 10
take that step.
II Is understood that Robert II. Nc
Curdy, President McCurdy's ION. and
Louis A. Thebaud, have taken a similar
stand.
That President McCurdy will go Is now
practically certain. Almost the entire Mu-
tual board OF trustees understands that.
What is troubling the board now Is not
whether Mr.. McCurdy Is going 10 stay,
but the question OF who Is going to sue
coed him.
Trustees OF the society no longer make
n secret OF the fact that an informal offer
OF craftsmanship OF the board was made
some time ago 10 James B. Forgan. presi-
dent OF the First National bank OF Chica-
go.
There are. II was said last night. two
factions I'm the Mutual ~contending for the
control OF the present investigation and
the result which will follow.
one OF the factions. IL is understood. IL
strongly entrenched In the nance COM
mittee. The other faction. which is head
ed by a more independent element. is rep
resented largely by members OF the Mu-
tuals self-investigating committee.
1t was reported yesterday that some ac-
ton I'm regard TO President McCurdy and
his son and son-in-law might be taken by
the Mutual's board OF directors this
week, but IL is not likely that anything
will be done I'm the matter by President
McCurdy's friends until they are satisfied
that the time is ripe.
Members OF the Misunderstanding com
mittee knew nothing yesterday about any
designations having been presented and a
prominent member OF the finance commit
tee also said that no designations had
come as yet into the hands Of that COM
mittee.
President McCurdy did not come To the
Mutual's offices yesterday and his son
refused either 10 confirm or deny the re-
port.

Letter AND
H0ADLEY

New York. Nov. 2S.-The 70 men who
have listened for the last two weeks I'm
the trial OF the suit Of Willard n. Jones
& Co, brokers. against Joseph II. Hoad-
ley. Joseph Letter and Cyrus Field Jud-
son. found a verdict yesterday for the
full amount " ss7. 500. with interest from
May I. 1902. making $751; 1893 in all against
Judson alone, thereby generating Hoad-
ley and Letter completely.
At the trial in October OF the suit
brought by Franklin, Scott & Co, against
the same defendants on the same evil
dence, the jury found all three defendants
equally liable.
Since then four OF the Jurors have made
affidavits that while they agreed TO the
verdict they were really OF opinion that
only Hoadley and Judson were liable.
The basis OF the Scott and the Jones
suits. as or a number OF other suits stiIl
pending. Is an allegation that Hoadley.
Letter and hudson were ~ a pool I'm In
ternational Power stock I'm the spring OF
1902.
they were eve in a pool with Judson ex-
cept n small one in 10000, which was
wound up at n loss.
The plaintiffs will appeal tho present
verdict. Hoadley and Letter have APP
pealed the last one. Another SUIT will
come on for trial in December. Justice
Bowling granted a stay 81 execution
against Judson, pending the appeal.

BARON SAYS
TITLES ARE
EMPTY

stamford. Conn, Nov. 2S-Being a
descendant OF an aide TO George Washing

can girl are sources of much greater pride
to Herman Won Wetter than the title of

arriving In America last Friday to claim
as bride Miss NJ. Louise Hurlbutt. daush-
ter Of DIR. A. NJ. Hurlbutt Of this citv.
whose family is one Of the Oldest OF New

The couple met at Dresden. where she

Miss Hurlbutt's aunt, the Baroness Won
f1ncke. Three weeks ago. when the
bride-to-be returned TO this country her
titled lover said he would follow.
Their wedding is to take place shortly.
Saturday they were presented to STAN
ford society AT the Casino fair. and were
the centre OF interest.
The baron can't understand why Ameri-
cans are amazed at his desire to drop
his title.
Titles are only empty things. and sig
Nifty little IL n man is not a man by him

he has to say: 81 take greater pride in the
fact that my great grandfather, the
Baron Won Wetter-Rosenthal, fought with
your great Washington.
II was known as plain John Ross. be-

Sanitary Utilization company, on the
eastern extremity of Barren Island. where
the thousands Of tons Of city garbage
is disposed OF daily, is in imminent danger
Of being sucked into Jamaica bays
~subaqueous bed of quicksand, which on
Saturday half submerged an office build
ing and engulfed t~hree-quarters OF an acre
Of and and n warehouse in which was
stored 1900 barrels OF OIL.
The territory that ~ hours ago was
apparently solid ground is now covered
with water. which lead lines yesterday
showed TO have a depth varying from 40
10 60 feet.
The office building was not drawn down,
but hoated. half submerged, To the west
ward, where it lay last night. moored
by two cables, with just the roof above
the surface.
The fear now entertained is that the
buildings Of brick and iron close to the
waters edge. will be plunged into the
quicksands which V swallowed up TO-
900 tons OF stone and earth and cover a
factory building that sunk out Of sight
16 years ago.

the quicksand bed extends further inland

The phenomenon on Saturday was OBJ
served by Capt. Arthur McAvry, who
commands the tugpoat Frank and Helen
McAvry. which plies between Canarsie
and Barren Island and Rockaway Point.
ut was the queerest thing | ever saw
i'm 80 years experience In these waters"
said Capt. McAvry. II was making my
regular midday trip TO the island. and
had as ono OF my passengers, Father
Horn, the clergyman who has a church
I'm Canarsie, and visits the Island TO look
after the men who are employed there.
II saw the office building. which stood
well inland. sink and slide into the water.
as part OF the stone crib, which 1utted
out into the bay, disappeared from view.
I'm about five minutes eight or ten big
thick spiles. which formed part of the
foundation OF the frame house, shot
straight up In the air.

we both watched the strange sight. The

| face. as II they had been shot out Of a
| cannon. and when they fell back they
went under and we did not see them
again.
"a man was fishing from the end OF
the stone crib when the earth and the

New York, Nov. &.-The edict has gone
forth that hereafter any student within
Bloomfield. y. j., high school found
guilty or hazing shall be expelled.

win Healy, president OF the sophomore
class. the hated figures 'O6.

niors used n soph for n football. He was
rescued by a man armed with a heavy
cane. other fights are reported.
