Mrs. Henrietta Bollschweiler, wife
of Mayor Albert Bollschweiler, and
one of the heirs of the estate of the

chased the historic Hartmann Hotel,
Front street, for $4,000. Judge
Adrian Lyon, executor of the estate,
consummated the sale.
A public auction was scheduled
for last Thursday, at which time the
property was to be sold. but owing
to the absence of bidders, 1t was
postponed. Immediately following
the adjournment, Mrs. B~ollschweiler
entered into negotiations for the
purchase of the old hotel. William
F. Hartmann, the other living child
of William Hartmann, shares the es-
tate equally with the mayors wife.
Mr.. Hartmann died In 1909 and
since that time Judge Lyon has held
title to the property because no pur-
chaser, satisfactory to the children,
could be procured. William Miller,
who occupied the hotel last, was CIV
en- notice by Executor Lyon to vacate
on April 4, last.

De FESTETICS
WINS 4 POINT
Wife Must Live With Him
to Get Support.

JERSEY City, May 2:-Vice-Chan-
cellor Garrison here Yesterday de-
MED application Of Mrs, Elsie 1'e
FestetIcs to compel her husband,
Guyla De Festetics, to provide sepa-
rate maintenance for her. He said
he could not order the husband to
provide for his wife unless she
agreed to live with him and a new
separation took place in New Jersey.
The troubles of the De Festetics
have been in the courts of New York
anad New Jersey for more than ten
years. A week ago the countess was
arrested in New York on a New Jer-
sey bench warrant on an Indictment
charging her with perjury. She gave
bail pending ~extradition proceed
tngs. ThNscAapls we're represented
In the Gafcery proceedings bytes
lawyers. Mrs. De Festetics in IN az
fidavit said that several weeks ago
she went to the cemetery in Plain
field, where her eldest son is buried,
and placed flowers on his casket,
which is in a mausoleum. She learn
ed that soon after her departure the
flowers were thrown away. She also
declared that the keeper OF the cent
etery on occasions refused her admis-
sion to the mausoleum, saying he
had received instructions to that eff
feet from her husband and his law
yers. This was In violation of the
court order and Vice-Chancellor Gar
rison expressed indignation, saying
that she should be permitted to view
the casket at n reasonable hour
without interference. He said it was
a sad state OF affairs when people
dragged a dead body into the courts
and hat such matters should in
common decency be settled out of
court.
Flowers" he added, should be
worn in the heart, not in the hands.
The De Festetics were separated In
New York eleven years ago. Mrs. De
Eastetics was given the custody OF
the two children and her husband
was directed to pay her $25 a week
for the maintenance Of herself and
children. De Festetics one day took
the Oldest boy, then fourteen years
old, to New Jersey and kept him
there until his death two a ago.
The father had the body buried in
the Plainfeld cemetery. Mrs. De
Festetics has a suit pending to get
custody of the body, SO she can have
1T buried In a New York cemetery.

PLANS DRAWN
FOR BUILDINGS

Plans are being drawn for two
new buildings on the Buchanan prop
erty, owned by JosephNE E. Stricken,
one to face on Smith street, thirty
feet by one hundred and forty-four,
and the corner building, on Smith
and State streets, to be forty feet by
one hundred. Both buildings, the
former to be two stories high and the
latter three stories, will be so erect
ed that additional stories may be
built at any time.
Both buildings will be used for
store purposes on the ground floors,
with the other floors for Office pur-
poses. Mr.. Stricken said this morn
ing that there are no plans for build
ings between the two mentioned, but
it is highly probable that the inter
vening space of one hundred feet
will be utilized before the other
buildings are completed.
The old Buchanan home is being
moved off the property today. For
the past week laborers have been at
work lacking up the old homestead.
The land In question is one Of the
most valuable pieces of real estate In
the city and became the property of
Mr.. Stricken on April /, when he
purchased Cornelius P. Conyery's
half interest in the tract.
