DECLINES To ACT
IN NOVEL CONTEST
Passes 1t Up TO Surrogate to
Decide if Executor Can
Revoke Withdrawal.

In an opinion handed down today by
Judge William p. Martin in a matter
concerning the %surogate's office and the
recognition of caveats against the
granting of testamentary letters to
persons lawfully made executors of an
estate. an important precedent has
been established.
The opinion is anent the will of
James Best, of Caldwell, who died De-
cember 10 last year, naming Samuel
Best and William II. Holmes, of New
York, his executors. When these men
made their application for a petition to
admit the will to probate they were
informed hat since they did not live
in the county they would have to
furnish bonds. This the men did not
do and subsequently renounced their
offices. The renunciations were filed
by Robert A. Best, son of the testator
and a beneficiary. The next step was
to make the son the administrator, but
It this point Samuel Best retracted his
remuneration and filed the required
bond and asked for the ~testamentary

Miss Palmer was out riding with

the starting lever, Miss Palmer sent
the car off with a lurch thai bowled
the highwaymen into the street. Be
fore the car gathered speed they made

HOUSE, COULD NOT

Not Only That, but Gets Ar
rested on Charge of
Assault.

In the First Precinct Police Court to-
day, Martin Greenberg, of So Bank
street, in defending himself on a charge
of assault brought by John H. Dunn,
a real estate dealer. told a story of his
attempt to buy a house and lot on the
instalment plan.
In 1907, he said, he had entered into
on monthly instruments a house at COL
Fifteenth avenue There was a clause
in the contract which stipulated that
if the payments should lapse for two
months the house would be forfeited.
Until last June Greenberg, so he
averred, paid his monthly instruments.
Then he lost his job as a bartender in
Madison.
Determined to keep his house. on
which he had paid $3.50, he moved to
the Bank street address and tried to
rent his Fifteenth avenue home. But
he could not pay his $35 when it was
due.
After three months he went to John
Dunn, he said, and asked If something
couldn't be done. He was told abruptly
that nothing could be done
Then William Alderman, of 500 Fiji
tenth avenue, a former neighbor of
his, came forward and offered to buy
the lapsed contract for 1925. They went
to the office of Dunn. in the Firemen's
building, Tuesday, and he agreed to
transfer the contract.
while l was in Dunn's office"
Greenberg testified, James Dunn came
in and told me to get out or he'd throw
me out of the window"
Greenberg and his wife left the Fire
mems building, but James Dunn, he
says, followed him to the street and
an alteration ensued. That night
Dunn had Greenberg arrested.
Judge Hahn let Greenberg go under
a suspended sentence after hearing the
mans story.

[sneeIal 70 the Newark SOIL

NEWTON, Sept. 2l.-Labor troubles
which have been brewing at the New
Jersey Zinc C~ompany's plant at
Franklin Furnace came to a climax
today. when 500 employees went on
strike, and one of the strikers was
taken from the custody of ten deputies
who tried to arrest him.
The zinc works employees formed a
labor union last Sunday. The new
union has been admitted to the Amer
lean Federation of Labor. The officials
of the zinc company yesterday dis
charged eighteen men, and the union
men declare this was done because the
bosses had learned a union was formed
and attempted to break 1t up.
A delegation of the workers appeared
before the bosses today and gave them
the ultimatum Of r~einstating the
eighteen discharged men or the whole
force would walk out. The bosses re-
fused, and all zee of the en-
ployees quit wol

THUMb-PR|NTS To
SHOW IF SUSPECT
SHOULD Be HELD
Jeweler Unable to Identity Man
Accused of Shooting
Him.

NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-Again the
fnger-prlnt system of identification
will be put to the test when Morris
Baum, % years old, of So East 18th
street, is taken to police headquarters
to determine whether he is the youth
who robbed David Silyerman's jewelry
store. at 1872 Madison avenue, on Au-
gust l last and shot Silverman when
he attempted to capture him.
Baum insists the police have made a
mistake in arresting him. and neither
Mr.. nor Mrs. Silverman have been able
to identify him positively. Neverthe-
less the police think they will be able
to prove his guilt by his thumb-prints.
The man who robbed Silverman's store
left a number Of flngerprints on the
glass sliding panel of one of the show
cases, and these were carefully photo
graphed at the time.

Reported Welded to British
Baron, CIaybird Sportsman.

BIARRITZ, Sept. 21.-Edna Goodrich,
the fourth wife of Nat Goodwin, is said
by her friends to have married Baron
keane, an English sportsman, who
shoots at clay pigeons. Miss Goodrich
and her mother are at Biarritz, and
they have no intention, according to
the mother, of returning to America.
Whatever effect her former husbands
remarks concerning her may have had
upon her feelings they have certainly
not marred Miss Goodrich's beauty.
She is more attractive looking now
even than when she carried the heart
of Nat Goodwin by storm some years
ago.

letters. At this ju%ncture the son filed
a caveat against the granting of these
papers and Judge Martin ruled that
the Children's Court would not act in
the matter, but would leave it for Sur
rogate Shoenthal to settle.
1t is believed that the surrogate will
grant the papers to Samuel Best and
not act in favor of the son.
The estate in question amounts to
about $4,000.
The case, as viewed by men in the
~surrogate's Office, is most novel. 1t is
the opinion of these men that the
executor, Samuel Best, viii be given
the papers because there IS no appar-
ent reason why he should moi act in
the capacity of executor as designated
by the t~estator, who was his cousin.
Best's first objection against furnish
ing bond was that there was no pro-
vision for it in the statutes. He was
informed, however, that 1t was a rule
of the Children's Court.

BANK OF ENGLAND RAISES
DISCOUNT RATE EARLY.

LONDON, Sept. 21.-The Bank of
England raised it's discount rate from
8 to 4 per cent. today, a week earlier
than last year, in order to protect its
reserve against possible unexpected de-
mands before the usual autumn gold
shipments are thoroughly under way.
Curiously, money remains remarkably
cheap and plentiful. and the Bank of
England's stock of coin and bullion
stands near $215, 900. 900.
The fact of London discount dealers
having forced the private rates over the
banks minimum of 8 per cent, causing
an inundation of bills to the Bank of
England. was a factor in the adoption
of the higher premium.
