don't charge nothin'!' and dropped tho

Farm Colleges on wheels.

NHAom nv iNlaidI
Lately a new and practical method
OF stimulating railroad traiilc has been
adopted--that of teaching the farmer
to Increase his crops, This IL done by
sending out agricultural colleges on
wheels. In other words. not content
with opening up new settlements. the
railroads are increasing their freight
tonnage by educating the farmers in
tho "older" parts OF the country to
get more results from their husband
ry. These colleges on wheels are
trains comprising well-equipped agri-
cultural exhibits IN charge OF compe-
tent educators. IN which the farmers
are given free instructions In the sci
ence OF dairying. agriculture and ever
forestry. In fact, every subject re-
lating to the fostering and garnering
of natures bounties Is treated upon.
Last summer no less than twenty of
these instruction trains were sent out
by the various railroads. but they were
not all alike, nor was tho same kind
of instruction given In every case In

FIREPR00F TESTS
TO Be INSISTED ON
BY MAYOR GAyNOR
Executive Takes Up Building
Code and Will Give Fair
Show to All.

Mayor oaynor has taken up M oon-
aderations Of the proposed new ouikans
code and he Will decide for himseh the
long disputed merits Of reinforced oon-
crete and hollow tile a. f~reproonns ma
terials.
II the Aldermanfo COMMITTEES attempts
to shove through a code giving the Hol-
low Tile Trust a monopoly In tho greater
city he will veto the He
practically said so to-day.
The Mayor has had his attention called
10 the fact that tho Building Code Com
mittee has ignored the demands OF the
reinforced concrete interests for q FIRE
test OF cinder concrete and hollow tile.
He Will insist that those tests take place
and he Will be present with experts
when they are undertaken.
To-day the Mayor called attention to
the Asch building fire. When he exam
ined the building after the nre. the
Mayor said. he found that little interior
damage had resulted. Reinforced con-
crete was used for fireproonng In that
building. he added. The Mayor said
further that In tho drawing OF q code
the toes OF some one or more interests
will be trod upon. but he would insist
on absolute justice being done.
1t Is five years now since an attempt
was made to enact a building code. The
delay has been caused by the warning
between the hollow tile and reinforced
concrete interests. Since 1898. when the
present code was adopted. wonderful
strides have been taken I'm building COn-
struction as well as In manufacturing
nreproolng materials. The Mayor &C
cordingly wants a modern ~up-to-date
code. Any other will receive his veto.
A draft of the proposed new code is
TO be submitted 70 the Mayor before Its
presentation TO the Board OF Aldermen
for adoption.

HIGHEST COURT
CONFIRMS BIG FEE
I'm A REALTY DEAL
Establishes Point That CON-
mission Must Be Paid Even
Though Lease Isn't Signed.

A record commission on q lease for
by the Court of Appeals In the case OF
L. Tanenbaum, Strauss q Co. against
Boehm q Coon. The case had dragged
along o h nv years in the Su-
prsms Court in some OF the bitterest
litigation known 20 Now York lawyers.
The judgment with accrued interest and
costs viii exceed $4,000.
The decision applies for the hrst time
IN the highest court Of the State the
doctrine that q broker Is entitled 70 his
commissions where he brings the parties
to q meeting of the minds on the terms
OF q lease. even though tho document Is
not signed. Tho only exception 10 that
the failure to consurnmate must be due
to the party employing the broker. The
doctrine had long ago been applied in
tho cases of the sales Of real estate. and
tho logical extension of II is regarded by
lawyers as a matter of great importance
TO the real estate interests of New York.
How Deal Was Made.
In 1906 Messrs. Boehm and Coon. who
were Interested In the property on the
southwest corner OF Thirty-ffth stree,
and Fifth avenue secured the services
Of L. Tanenbaum, Strauss & Co. to OBJ
tain a tenant for the property. The
brokers brought about a meeting be-
tween the defendants and Best g. Co..
and Mr.. Ball of the latter firm agreed
orally on the terms OF the lease FOR
twe~ntythree years. with privileges OF
two renewals Of twenty-one years each.
All the details OF the lease were orally
agreed upon between the parties at a
prolonged meeting in the month of De-
oember. 1905. n It was then left 10
tho lawyers of the respective parties 10
embody the terms OF the lease IN proper
form. Subsequently the lawyers for
Messrs. Boehm u Coon presented to
Best & Co. leases which the latter de-
clined to sign on the ground that they
embodied terms which had not been
agreed upon and which we're unreason
able in their nature. and the lease was
never consummated.
The brokers claimed that they had
earned their commission and brought
suit to ecove 322. 30O-one per cent. OF
tho amount Of rent involved in the
lease.
Proceedings In Courts.
After . three days trial in the Su-
preme Court. the complaint was dis
missed. The brokers appealed to the
Appellate Division. which by a vote Of
three TO two reversed the judgment and
ordered a new trial.
The second trial In the Supreme
Court LASTED five days and Judgment
was directed in favor of the plaintiffs
and On Dec. 10. 1908. judgment was en-
tered In favor OF u T~anenbaum,
Strauss q Company for ~ 1881. The
Appellate Division upheld the judy
mont
Boehm and Coon then took the case
to tho Court OF Appeals, which has
decided that the brokers have earned
their commissions and are tnitled to II.
although no lease was ever signed.
and although Best q Company subse-
quently located on another corner OF
Thirty-fourth street and Fifth avenue,
