EXPERTS REPORT CRIMINAL
COURTS BUILDING UNSAFE.
Subway Loop Caused Undermine
ing of Foundations.

NEW YORK. Nov. 9.-The Board of
Survey, consisting Of James z. Whiske-
man, chief engineer of the department
of buildings; Owen Brainard. an archi-
tect, and Nelson p. Lewis, the city's
chief engineer, appointed TO make a
critical examination of the $1,000 600
Criminal Courts building. a reported
that the building is in a dangerous con
dition.
Notice was erved Immediately OF
District Attorney Jerome and the Board
of Coroners to vacate their Offices. Mr.
Jerome, who all along mas refused to
believe that the building was in a dan
gerous condition, bowed to the judg-
ment OF the Board OF Survey.
The report of the Board of Survey
shows that the construction of the
bridge loop subway through Centre
street is mainly the cause of the pres
emit condition of the Criminal Courts
building. An Investigation of the piles
on which 1t stands shows that he sand
in which they were driven had, dur
ing the construction of the subway
gradually run into the subway excava-
ton, leaving the piles without support

NEWARKER WINS SUIT in
FIGHT AGAINST CENTRAL.
Morris Goldman, Hurt by Train,
Gets $4,000 Verdict.

Holding that the verdict of 5000 was
not excessive, Justice Minturn in the
Supreme Court at Trenton today rem
dered an opinion sustaining the verdict
recovered by Morris Goldman, who was
injured at the Ferry street station of
the Central Railroad Company here
while a train was negligently started
while he was attempting to board it.
Upon the first trial of the case a ver-
dict recovered by Goldman was set
aside upon the ground that the clear
preponderance of the testimony did not
support. Upon a second trial the jury
disagreed, while upon the third trial the
$4,000 damages verdict was recovered.
The opinion stated that the verdict
could not be regarded as excessive
when 1t is recalled that the plaintiff
was SO years old when the accident hap
pened,, and had ain earning capacity of
$36 a week: hat his leg was twice am
putated, and that he is now crippled
for life; that he has a tumor upon his
hip, upon which another operation is
possible; that his earning power has
been impaired, SO. that he is able to
earn but $12 a week. while his expendi-
lures for treatment and for a wooden
leg have exceeded $500. not to mention
the pain and suffering he has under
gone and for which compensation at the
best is problematical.

NEWS OF CUBA.
Cotton Picking in Progress and Gins
 Are Running Regularly.

Cuba, September 17-(Special )-Cottor | picking Is in full blast now and the gir
 IS running regularly yesterdays out
 turn being about 15 bales, some of which
 was sold at 12 cents and better. There
 seems to be disposition to take the cot ton off the market when it goes below IF cents, as some farmers have been haul ing back home and others storing. The press of receipts from this place will not prove heavy from now on as the recent rains have caused the bolls to ma ture better and after this week there will be a slight lulls in picking. Yields are disappointing Howard McElroy states that it is requiring over 1900 pounds to make a full weight bale on account of the lint being so short.
 The Bank of Cuba reports a satisfac- tory settlement of paper due given by the farmers and there seems a disposi- tion to discharge obligations in q meas ure with cotton at present figures. De- posits are also growing nicely, being considerably in excess of the same period last year. That business is rapidly on
 the mend is also shown by the railroad
 business here which was 30 per cent greater for August 1909 over 1908.
 Interest in the proposed Cuba Choctaw and Gulf railroad to develop the lumber resources south of here continues and there is a general feeling that something will come of the project. A number of the lumbermen operating here have of- fered a lot of ties and timber. Three of them are at present in the interior look ing into the matter of desirable loca- tions in the event the road naterializes
