Yerkes Widow Failed To Pay Interest

 On Mortgage.
 New York. .. ,ov. 26-Because the widow of the late Charles T. Yerkes refused to pay siT00o interest on a mortgage. the city of New York will lose the Yerixes library and art gall lery adjoining the Yerkes mansion at Fifth avenue and sixth street.
 An order providing for the sale of the library under foreclosure on De- cember Is, was entered yesterday as a result of proceedings brought by the Mutual Life Insurance Company which held the mortgage.
 Mir. Yerkes provided in his will that the library and art gallery should be- come municipal property and since the suit of the Mutual Life was in stituted. 1t was generally understood that the matter would be amicably settled But unless something is done between now and December fs. the property will be lost to New York as a public institution.
 The value of the library is consid- cred to be greatly in excess of the amount of the judgment to be satis- ned. s242.296. while the land where the structure is situated Is held at s12.000 a front foot. With this as an estimate. the property is twice as val uabIe as the amount of the judg- ment.

TROOPS WILL STAY
sTRINE SITUATION IN NEW JERSEY
 UNSETTbED-
There Was No DemonstratiOn feater- day, Hut 1t Was Decided Not to withdraw the Troops
 Yet.

Perth Amboy, N. J.N Nov. es.-Al- though the clay mining and clay work ing strikers in keasbey village. on the outskirts of this city. made no dem onstratiou today, and evidence accu- mulated that they had been thorough ly overawed and were littIe likely to use further violence in their efforts for higher wages, yet it was decided late today not to withdraw the troops.
 As in Keasbey where the strike re- suited in rioting and tn shooting of six men by deputy sheriffs yesterday, so all along the stretch of the Rarttan River, where lie the clay pits and fac- tories peace and quiet reigned through out the day. It was feared. however, that when the attempt is made to start up the factories again. there may be greater need for protection than the
 sheriff will be able to afford Conse- quently. soldiers still will be on the National Fireproofing Company's prop erty and glistening bayonets will sur round the pits when work Is resumed. The managers of the factories could not say whether that will be tomorrow or the next day. All of the wounded men were reported tonight as out of dam ger. The city hospital people added that only one, John Sohan. who was shot in the back. had been seriously hurt. Rev. France l. Gross, of the Hungarian Church. and Rev. Julian Zielinski of the Polish church, held a meeting with H. M. Keasbey and R. P. Keasbey of the National Fireproof- ing Company's New York office. and ] . O. Rossi, their local manager. and urged before them the needs of the men. The priests asked eafnestly for the increase from $1.35 to Sl 50 for which they have struck. The answer to them was that tn eNational had all ways paid its men more than oth CT companies; that one of these companies had settled the strike with it's men by | granting them an increase, namely, to s1 30, which did not bring the pay up to what the National was paying when the men struck. and moreover. | business conditions did not warrant an advancement at this time. The priests left to search out the men to tell them the result Of the conference. General Breintnall asked them to make 1t clear to the men that the authorities | positively would tolerate no violence and hfs they promised to do.
