COURT CRITICISES M'AV0Y
Justices in Reversing Verdict
Object to His Conduct.

In reversing the verdict of jury In the
CITY Court yesterday In the case of Mrs.
Marie Bennett against the Triangle Waist
Company. wherein the plaintiff obtained
Judgment for S94 10. Justices Seabury and
Blur in the Appellate Term of the Su-
prene Court criticised Justice McAvoy,
who presided at the trial for the con-
duct of the trial Judge The Appellate
Term justices held this conduct was pref
judicial to the rights of the parties whose
cause was on trial before him..
Mrs. Bennett sued the defendants lot
g. 900 damages for alleged assault COM
n1itted by an employee of the company Inc
minutes of the trial show that during the
arguments Justice McAvoy made re-
marks 70 which counsel took exception and
anpealed his case. It was shown that Jus
tios McAvoy had threatened to commit the
LAWYER to Jail for contempt The lawyer
also objected to the lengthy cross-eXaml-
nation of a witness by Justice McAvoy, on
tho eround that the examination tended to
show that the court did not believe the
witness.
THAT Is ridiculous" replied Justice Nc
Avoy.
The LAWYER objected 10 this remark, but
the iustice would not permit the objection
to be noted.
Justices Seabury and Blur held that the
remarks of Justice McAvoy were improper
Iustics CIV who sat in Appellate Term,
took no part in the hearing OF the appear
or he decision.

STILL PURSUING WIDER
More Indictments To Be Sought
Against Cashier.

Following a conference yesterday WIN
Julius Goldman. counsel for the Russo
Chinese Bank Frank Moss. acting pls-
trict Attorney. said he had received addi-
tional information regarding the transac-
lions of Erwin J. Wider. the banks de-
faultine cashier. and that an effort ~ouIo
he made TO secure further indictments
against him
This apparently disposed Of the ehorts
Of Wider's counsel to have his punishment
for the larceny of SSS0.o00 confined to the
penalty which he would receive by piean-
ing guilty to the one indictment aireaoS
reported by the grand jury.
Mr.. Moss said that Wider would nave
TO plead to that indictment to-day. NO
additional time TO consider the plea VIII
be agreed to by the District Attorney
office and in the circumstances IL Is I'M
likely that Judge O'Sullivan. before whom
Wider will be arraigned, will grant any
request for delay
If Wider pleads not guilty. despite MS
counsers statement to Judge Foster when
Wider was originally arraigned that plea
of guilty would be entered. he may change
his plea later
Should Wider be conccaling any others
who might be involved in the thefts OF
the securities from the bank, he will prop
ably have an opportunity to tell all he
knows. with the reward in prospect Of le-
niency upon the part of the sentencing
Judge should he be convicted

SEEKS RIGHT TO LAY WIRE
Empire Subway Company Again
Opposes Mandamus Suit.

Justice Bischoff heard argument yester-
day on the motion of the New York Elec-
trio Lines Company for a peremptory writ
Of mandamus to compel the Empire Sub
way Company to permit the installation
Of the petitioners wires in the defendant
company's underground system
The arguments for and against the mo-
ton were much the same as when the
cause was heard before, except that Ed
mund Louis Mooney, counsel for the En-
pire Subway Company. INDUCED In some
new allegations regarding the New York
Electric Lines Company
Mr.. Mooney said the. franchise of the
petitioner, on which It depended for Its
right 10 use the subway ducts. was re
voked in 1906 because of failure to use the
franchise within a specified time.
He added that the New York Electric
Lines Company never had a bona fide of
fee and had sworn off its taxes, showing
that 1t was not now legally established
corporation.
Former Judge Alton B. Parker, who ap-
peared for the New York Electric Lines
Company, said the Empire Subway Com
pany was bound to lease space to any
corporation having lawful power in this
city. and the relator was one of these,
with a franchise held to be good in the
case Of the Long Acre company. He said
1T is not q question of whether we are
rich or poor, or whether swore off our
taxes or not We are entitled to such
space as may require. We rendered
currency for 1t and we have offered TO
give bond for future payment"
Justice Bischoff reserved decision, Civ

TROLLEY FOR WORTH STREET
Permission Given to Electrify Line
from Chatham Square to Broadway.

The Public Service Commission mas ap-
nroved an application of the Second Ave
nue Railroad Company for the elecrinca-
ton of It's line from Chatham Square TO
BroadUay through Worth street When
tho work. which will be started without de-
Law IS completed. the terminus of the line
will he at Broadway. as II was in the oio
DAYS of horse cars and before the organ
ization of the Metropolitan system. After
the Second avenue became part or that
system II ran its cars down TO Ann street
In front of the postoff1ce. over the tracks
of the Third Avenue Railroad. When the
disintegration began the Second Avenue
having no tracks below Chatham square
was obliged to make that the terminus OF
its line.
The Worth street tracks have not peen
mood since the Metropolitan merger. The
cor,nanv wished to use two tracks through
70 broadway but the commission decided
+bat II could operate only one between
Iofavette street and Broadway because of
.,,a CONGESTION of commercial business at
that point.
Some time ago Mr.. IinCh, the receiver.
rromised to abandon many or the tracks
which the company had not used for years.
and the directors of the company rauneo
the decision but the stockholders are SUI
to act upon the question

SEEK SHOES AND PEARL
H. C.; v. G. McAdam Had mem
All. but Lost the Pearl.
NOW HE ALSO IS LOST
And the Shoes, Plus the Initials
and a Description, May Help
Puzzled Police.

Two gems are missing, and the ponce
of New York and Boston are hoping 10
find them soon. One is blue pearl sa'o
to be worth $4,000; the other is 'ne
man, who is said to have travelled from
this citv to Boston with the remarkable
trinket worn in a neat pigskin bracelet
Unless the interesting traveller changes
his shoes and his initials the trouble OF
finding him should be Slight
The notice are asked to search for Cap
tain II. C. v G. MacAdam, In patent
leather shoes having light cloth tops
Even If in haste Captain MacAdam shoulo
drop a few preliminaries of an initlai
character when signing his name, or
change the whole of it, the police 1eei
safe If he will only forget to chanse HIS
shoes
The whole story Is sad. Captain Mac
Adam IT is declared, came TO tnls cry
from far away with a most import l.
high grade mission An officer OF the ben
gal Lancers, with cash enough 10 ouS 'iie
pawn ticket for one of the eyes Oh Duu
dhist idol and pluck enough to Try u
carry such a thing around his WrlS'' lie
was deserving of complete success
Instead of that the captain seems mere
" to have reached Boston from Ne" forA'
and then to have disappeared the Same
thing has happened to the pearl.
But a little more should first be saio
about the man, because he may be In New
York again right now. good description
NAV save the police a lot of time and
trouble Any one Is at liberty to discover
CAPTAIN MacAdam with or without his
blue pearl.
Look. then. for a dark man, about thirty
black
tache and a black gostee. A bullet wound
shows high over his right temple and
scar right on the top of his left ear almost
shouts Of sword thrust His clothes were
light in weight and hue when he was last
seen, a week ago. There is no way to tell
whether he has since changed his clothes
The shoes have been mentioned, out the
shirt he wore a week ago was a blue. wide
striped silk affair assisted considerably by
a peacock blue cravat in which rested a
scarab pin. Except that the captain with
the numerous front names was feet 8
inches tall and weighed $50 pounds. the
police have nothing to guide them, as far
as his appearance is concerned They do
not regard his appearance as probable, any
way, 1t is said. and his disappearance does
not keep them from working on other
cases.
Reginald H. Schenck, a lawyer at No 45
Broadway, told the police yesterday that
MacAdam was to have sailed from Boston
on the steamship iceland on July &c. but
did not do so. The day before, Schenck
said MacAdam telephoned that he had the
jewel in his possession. Therefore, where
are the blue pearl and the man right now
Schenck added that MacAdam paid 900
to a pawnbroker for the pearl. Then he
left town for Boston. and has not been
seen since midnight of July ..
Has the captain been captured by some
body who did not want the pearl to go so
far away. where the idol sits without an
eye? 1t is all a mystery to the police of
both cities
