OBJECTS TO REFERENCE
Maurice s. Wormsers Estate
Only 5000, Counsel Says.

Surrogate Cohalan heard long argu-
ments yesterday over the estate OF
Maurice S. Wormser, whose assets. 1t was
said amount to only $500. Mrs. Florine
r. Wormser, widow Of Mr.. Wormser and
Administrative Of the estate, objected to
having charged against her the costs Of
reference brought about by claimants
against the estate
Mrs. Wormser maintained that as the
contentious Of the claimants were disal-
lowed as to their objections to her ac-
counting she ought not be compelled to
pay for the reference. Mrs. Wormser
also said that she had two claims against
the estate aggregating $4,000. She made
no objection to the disallowance Of thu
larger claim. amounting to $4,000. and
consented to having the one for $4,000
reduced to $4,000, because, as her coun-
sci explained, they could not have been
paid out Of the estate Of her husband.
Ferdinand r. Minrath, counsel for Mrs.
Wormser, said he would rather pay the
costs Of the reference out Of the $500 fee
that he received than have Mrs. Wormser
pay It, with the implication that they
were wrong in the proceeding.
Counsel for two Of the claimants said
Mrs. Wormser had been guilty Of miscon-
duct as Administrative in buying claims
against the estate at a discount and hav-
ing them allowed to her In full The at
torney said that Mrs. Wormser should be
penalized for this alleged misconduct.
Surrogate Cohalan reserved decision on
the question OF fixing the payment Of
costs.

SPHINX CLUB Dimes
Speakers Tell of Craftsmanship
and AuCtioneering.
THE 121ST YEARLY FEAST
Joseph P. Day, the Auctioneer,
and George A. Cullen Are
Chief Takers.

The Sphinx Club Of New York held its
one hundred and twenty-first dinner last
night at the Waldorf-Astoria. Among
those present were George A. Cullen. gen.
eral publishing agent for the Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western Railroad; B. j.
Greenhut Preston p. Lynn, general man.
ager of John Wanamaker's store, and
Justin Mccarthy. jr., Of Abraham &
Straus. Brooklyn. The chief speakers
were T.. D. Gibbs. OF the National Cash
Register Company. and Joseph P. Day,
the realty auctioneer.
Mr.. Gibbss topic was THE Trained
Salesman" He said the great problem
which confronted America to-day was
distribution. THE number OF men who
can manufacture a good article is thou
sand times greater than the number of
men who can sell It," he said. There
are no set rules for good salesmanship.
Men may use wholly different methods
and be equally successful. The aim OF
craftsmanship IL to convince your Gus
toner. and no two statesmen can do It in
the same way.
But to convince your customer you
nave UTSt BOt 10 COnsluCt iOu
must think your goods the best in the
world. and make the fellow across the
counter feel that he can't do without
them. The two great things a salesman
should learn are when to talk and when
not to talk, and the greatest Of these is
when not to talk. More orders are lost
from too much talk than from too little"
Mr. Day spoke on auotioneering. He
said the way to sell house was TO
make the buyer see the reason for buying
Il, and the more definite that reason the
better. A poor reason clearly presented
was better than a good reason given
vaguely or without conviction. Mr.. Day
continued:
IT want TO sell q man a house. l get
him around TO visit 1t; the first thing that
meets his eye Is the hall. which happens
to be large i show him the rare ad-
vantages OF a large hall--what dignity
and simplicity. or II he is pompous, what
grandeur II adds to the house. No gentle
man should own a house without such a
hall. In II the family can sit and re-
ceive their guests: why. the thing Is mag
nifcent, And before he knows It he buys
the house. The hall sold II TO him: I
didn't II you make your customer see
why ne should buy the house so clearly
that he forgets why he shouldn't you
win"

Frank c. Bostock, known to his pro-
fessional associates as the Animal
King" for many years owned the big
animal show at Coney Island, where his
animals, which were trained to the most
unusual and astonishing habits, enter
tanned thousands daily. Mr. Bostock was
one of the first trainers to perform the
feat Of thrusting his head into a lions
mouth. With all his daring with wild
beasts the trainer was never seriously in
jured, although at the Pan-American Ex-
position he was painfully clawed by Ra-
jah. ferocious tiger.
Mr.. Bostock was born in England fifty
years ago and was a circus man there
on a small scale. He came to America in
the COS with a small wagon circus and
menagerie. Later he turned his attention
altogether to the training OF wild ami
mails, which he usually bought from deal
ers In New York and European centres.
Last August Mr.. Bostock intended to
show his troupe OF animals in the LON
don Opera House. for the purchase OF
which he entered into negotiations with
Oscar Hammerstein. The deal fell
through, however.
Mr.. Bostock was sued twice in Kings
County by Mrs. Annie T. Plants, OF No.
272 Lincoln Place, Brooklyn. who sought
to recover $4,000 for finger which was
bitten off by a hyena when she stumbled
against its cage in the Bostock show at
Coney Island.

The members Of the Sothern- Marlowe
