WALTER HOBARTS GUARDIAN
DISCHARGED BY THE COURT
Young Capitalist Is a Ward Eleven
Years Beyond the Time He Should
Have Been.

Though Walter s. Hobart, the
young capitalist, became Of age on
April 26, 1894, more than eleven
years ago, he was in fact under the
charge Of a guardian until yesterday.
When young Hobart's father died
Edward ]. McCutchen was appointed
his guardian to care for his interests
during the period of the settlement Of
the estate, the letters to remain in
force until Hobart reached the age of
81 years.
Hobart reached his majority long
abo, but for some reason not ex-
planned in the petition the guardian
was not discharged at that time. and
the letters stood on the records unre-
voked and in full effect. Yesterday
afternoon, however. McCutchen pre-
sented a petition asking that he be
discharged as guardian. The petition
was accompanied by a request from
Hobart that the guardian be not COM
PEELED to file an account of his re-
ceipts and expenditures as guardian.
Hobart's request was granted, and
Judge Kerrigan signed the order dis
charging McCutchen as prayed. Thus
Hobart is cast upon his own resources.

DENIED A LANDING
Immigrant Onicials Believe That New
Corners Are Liable TO Become
Charges on the Public.

way from New Zealand to this port on
the steamship Sierra en- route to

by the United States immigrant Off
Gals Their names are Emma j.
Harding, aged IL years; Charles G.
Harding, aged 9; Robert G., aged 7.
and William G., aged 5. Their case

found that their mother was dead,
their father a carpenter in the Gov
ernment service in New Zealand, and
that all the money they had was 81
cents. A Mormon missionary, named
j. II. w. Goff. who had been stationed
in New Zealand two years ago, pre-
sented himself to take charge of the
children and stated he had $50 where

phens, who was to care for the chill
dren in Utah, and that they would be
sent TO public schools in that State

that the immigrants were liable to be-
come public charges, and therefore
denied them a landing.

EMPLOYE ROBS
The EQUITABLE

NEW YORK, May "a man, giving
the name of William DAILY, was arrest
ed to-day at Stroudsburg, Pa. charged
with the larceny of $4,000 from the
Equitable Life Assurance Society in
this city, by the use of forged sigma
ture of a holder of $4,000 policy. and
by conspiracy with an employe of the
Equitable Society. Daly's name is said
by detectives to be Samuel Lobley.
In a statement issued by officials Of
the Equitable Society to-day. it was
explained that William C. Cotton of
Brooklyn was the owner Of a $4,000
policy in the Equitable Society. In
March, 1904. he borrowed $4,000 on 1T,
depositing it with the society as Sc
lcurity for the loan. A few months
later the officials say, the policy was
stolen from the vaults of the society
by a trusted employe, working in con-
junction with Lob1ey; the books OF the
society containing a record of the pre-
vious loan were altered and Colton's s
name was forged to an application for
another loan of $4,000. The second
loan was made, it is declared. to Lob
ley. In negotiating third loan Lobley
was detected.
The reply of President James w.
Alexander of the Equitable Life As
surance Society to the complaint OF
Vice President James III. Hyde that he
had not sufficiently considered the IN
terests of the Hyde stock OF which
Alexander has been trustee was made
in a brief filed in the New York State
Supreme Court in Brooklyn to-day by
counsel for the Equitable Society as
defendant in the suit of Franklin =:
Lord to prevent the naturalization OF
the society. Concerning the allegation,
the brief asserts
"Any charge that Mr.. Alexander mas
In anv way wronged Mr.. HYDE is ao-
snlntelv without foundation.

BOARD SAYS BUILDING
ENCROACHES ON STREET
Suit Is Filed to Determine Title to
Eighteen Inches of Valuable
Land

An unusual dispute over property
is contained in a suit filed yesterday
by Ernest ", Samuel H., Isabella NJ.
and Helen E. Cowell to restrain the
Board of Works from interfering with
the plaintiffs in the erection of a
building on the northeast corner of
Clay and Sansome streets. For fifty
years building stood on the corner,
plaintiffs say, and recently they tore
it down and started to erect build
ing on the exact ground occupied by
the old structure.
Work had not progressed far, how
ever, when the Board of Works in
formed them that they were en-
croaching eighteen inches on Clay
street and must erect the new struc-
ture that much farther north. This
eighteen inches of land is valuable,
and to retain title to it the plaintiffs
now bring suit.
