HOWARD GUILD
TO PAY $4,000
VERDICT FOR ARCHITECT OF
CASTLE SUSTAINED BY COURT
OF APPEALS.

New York, April 6.-By a decision
handed down by the Court of Ap-
peals, the highest tribunal in the
State. Mr.. and Mrs Howard Gould
win have TO pay $4,000 or more to
Abner }. Haydel, an architect who
drew the plans for Castle Gould az
sands Point L. I.
The decision was rendered In con
nection with a suit brought by Mr.
Haydel for 100000 for his services.
The Court OF Appeals. In refusing to
reopen the case, sustains the JUDGE
ment OF the two lower courts and
incidently adds, by interest and the
various costs to carry the case To the
higher courts, some odd $4,000 to
the original verdict of $261S2.75
given by a jury I'm the supreme Court
OF Nassau County in june, 1905.
The case attracted general atten-
tion through the testimony of Mr.
Haydel, who stated that when he
had called ON Mrs. Gould i'm her
apartments i'm the Waldrof Astoria
in 1903 she had used the word
"d-n' I'm referring TO him. Mrs
Gould, when she took the stand and
was questioned regarding this Incl
dent said: "On my oath, never
used such words"
Plans for Castle Gould wore
started in 1900 and called for mod
ern adaptation of Kilkenny Castle
Ireland. on "a scale twice as large as
the original Mr. Haydel was en-
gagged to draw the plans. A dispute
arose over details and there were
frequent notifications Of plans and
work on tho castle was abandonea.

SWEETENHAM'S
REASON
RESIGNED RAHER THAN Apollo
GIZE, TT - SAID.

London, ADr9 6.-The Standard
'oday declares It is able to publish
.for the first time the circumstances
'eadiRg 70 the resignation OF Sir
hlexander sweeteuham as Governor
II Jamaica The paper says that,
according to Sir Alexander's own
statement in letter TO an intimate
friend, he resigned in consequence OF
"a peremptory demand from the Col
onial oflce to apologize to Rear-Ad-
miral Davis.
To this Sir Alexander replied thar
IL such a course were really necessary
he would 90 so with pleasure, but
that such a compulsory apology carri-
ed With 1t US resignation Sir Alex
ander denies emphaCically mat there
was any dispute between him and
the American Admiral at the time Of
the Kingston earthquake, saying:
we were the best OF friends during
the whole time the Admiral waG
here. He had the use of one Of my
private carriages and drove around
with my private secretary
The Standard adds that this letter
was written privately as one friend
might write to another, but It fell
into the hands of a negro newspaper
correspondent. If the documents re-
ferring to the resignation Of Sir Alex
ander were published, the paper con-
ciudes. 1t would be found that the
statement fhat be applied 10 be re-
'ired con the eround of age" was
entirely misleading.

THE HUNT FOR
CAMPAIGN FUNDS
AFTER THE PRESIDENT HAD IN.
DoRSED THE PROPOSED BAR
RING OF CORPORATION
FUNDS.

Everybody remembers with amusC
ment Mr. Shermans appeal for dollar
subscriptions from the plain peo,
pie" in the congressional campaign
or 1906. Statements were ISSUED
from the republican congressional
committee from the republican con.
gressional committee that the con.
gressional campaign was TO be con
Quoted on n high plane, and that the
necessary expenses were to be paid
by individual republicans contribu.
ting small sums Evidently this no
vel plan Of rep Jl,can campaigning
was issued only to tickle the public
ear. and was never devised for prac-
tical use.
1t Is now unexpectedly revealed by
the presidents letter that Mr.. sher.
man went TO work TO get money in
the customary old fashioned way. by
appealing to the corporations and the
chief figures IN sigh finance. II 4.
evident that Mr.. Hartman. stung by
sense OF injuries he felt he had
received, refused to contribute. II
would appear that Mr.. Sherman. i'm.
stead of accepting this refusal as
final FASTENED to the president with
story Of Mr.. Harriman's decllnatlon
to give up any money, and his reas.
ons therefor. Mr. Roosevelt instead
of scoring Mr.. sherman for going to
Hartman for money, writes him 9
long letter bolstering up his reasone
for acting as hc did after the presl-
Dental campaign OF 1904, I'm which
Mr.. Hartman raised 100000.
Politicians in Washington find the
presidents attitude hard to under
stand They think that, I'm view OF
Mr.. Roosevelts position on the then
pending bill prohibiting corporations
from contributing TO campaign funds
he should have exercised his undoubt
cd Influence with the republican con.
gressional committee and have ex
pressed his desire that no money be
solicited from corporations or cor
poratiOn managers
The presidents letter now made
public throws a food OF light on the
methods employed by the republican
managers to elect members OF tn,
Goth Congress. The fair inference
us drawn that, If Mr.. Hartman was
solicited for money, other people IN
Wall street who had been depended
upon in the past were also urged tC
contribute. - New York Eveninf
