OCEAN SHORE SALE
DELAYED BY SUIT
Attorney McCutchen Seeks to
Throw Blame for Alleged
Scheme Upon Receiver

In the hearing before the United
States circuit court yesterday to de-
termine the preferred creditors of the
Ocean Shore railway company z. j.
McCUtchen. attorney for many of the
bond holders. attempted to show that
there had been a scheme on the part
OF J. Downey Harvey, J. A Folger and
Attorney ". ". kaufman TO block the
bond holders from bringing the first
suit ana TO prevent the Mercantile
trust company from foreclosing under
the deed OF trust and that ii was this
scheme which had delayed the sale of
the property to satisfy bond holders
and creditors.
Frederick s. Suratton stated that he
believed his services as receiver, since
last December, were worth $4,000.
Then 3IcCUtchen began his questioning.
You have held other positions during
that time2" he asked. Strstton, who is
also collector Of the port, admitted he
had.
McCutchen sought to get an admis-
sion that Stratton's work had not been
for the benefit Of ali parties. He elic-
ited from Stratton and ". " hauf-
man, attorney Tor the receiver, that the
complaint Of the Baldwin locomotive
works against the Ocean Shore railway
was drawn by GoOdfeIlow & Eells. who
were employed by Harvey. and after
ward submitted, before being filed, TO
Burke Corbet, attorney for the defend
ant.
Kaufman admitted that he was at
rorney for J. A. Folger, who, with Har-
vey, controls the majority of the stock
Of the railway but denied that the
Baldwin suit had been instituted to
block the efforts Of the bond holders
70 begin suit because of default in pay
1nent OF interest on the bonds.
Final argument probably win be
made when the case again comes up
tomorrow morning.
Attorney Jesse Lilienthal was put
on the stand and said that he believed
kaufman's services were worth $4,000
and that $4,000 more would sufficiently
remunerate the attorney for the re-
ceiver for his services in seeing the
matter through.

RUSSIAN DANGERS
RULE MILADPS HAT
Stylish Headwear' of Imperial
Ballet Girls Set Pace for
Autumn Millinery

That autumn styles in women's hats
have been suggested to Partisan mill
liners by the stylish head dress of Rus
sian dancing girls, who showed in the
French capital, was the statement of
E. Magnin, of the firm of L Magnin and
company. who has just returned from
Europe, made yesterday in New York,
according TO advices here.
Magnin says that for the second time
the styles in millinery adopted by the
Partisan hatters were set by the Rus
sian opera dancers and singers The
Russian artists have completed a very
successful season in Paris and their
mode of dress was a sensation He
said:
The sensation they created last
season had a wonderful influence on
the minds of the modistes and Russian
styles became the vogue. This year,
however, they outdid themselves in the
perfection of their art of dressing. The
very peculiar character of the sceneries,
the picturesque composition of each
tableau and every ensemble" of their
gorgeous costumes made lasting i'm
pressions' on all and will result in an
increased demand for distinctly Rus
sian styles.
Among those in favor are toques
and turbans which in design suggest
the former greatness of Asiatic and
Russian arts. For morning wear, for
the automobile and for winter sports,
these styles are very practical and SEN
sible, and are sure TO become a dis
tinct success.
Large hats with low round crowns,
and portraying a picturesque effect,
trimmed with an abundance of ostrich
plumes or paradise feathers, will un-
doubtedly be the favorite style for
dress wear. For hats to wear with
tailor made and walking suits Partisan
favor leans to etoffes of a Beauvais
tapestry effect which are very chic.
and draperies Of velours, satin or taft
fetas that are more practical For
evening wear velours, brooches and also
laces, gauzes and nets in silver and
steel tinsel are very desirable, and var
ious furs for all kinds and shapes of
hats are SsrtNsR TO inagSase in popular
