Charles II. Furlong, son of former
Magistrate Henry J. Furlong, who was
held on Monday in Brooklyn, where he
pleaded not guilty to an indictment for
forgery in the first degree. in which pro-
ceeding his daughter. Mrs. Ruby Devins.

day the statement attributed to the for
mer magistrate that he was living with
him. The purpose Of this statement, said
the son, he believed was to make II ap-
pear that he was in accord with the acts
of his father in the handling of the estate
Of his mother.
"On the contrary" said the young man

who left property valued at about $780,

BUDGET TALK FOR MAYOR
Estimate Board Gives Him
Frank Opinion of Cuts.

Following a discussion of the dock
questions at the executive session of the
Board Of Estimate yesterday, Mayor
Gaynor asked for remarks on the cuts
in the budget made by the Board Of Al
dermen, which cuts are now up to the
Mayor for approval or disapproval.
There followed some frank talk, in
which the Mayor was made TO under
stand that the aldermen had made pretty
much of a botch Of their attempt to save
money for the taxpayers. Borough Pres
ident Miller said that, in spite OF the
protestations of the aldermen that they
had cut nothing pertaining to salaries
except what had been provided for new
places, they had actually cut of the ap-
propriations for men who had been
working in his office for long time.
Commissioner Lederle Of the Depart
rnent of Health spent some time with
the Mayor going over the cuts In his de-
partment and showing the Mayor no"

out should be replaced.
1t is believed to be inevitable that the

DAYS, has vanished from the ken Of his
bride. who was Ethel Helen Lindner. also
known as Helen Lorraine. In her apart
ment at the Gosford, on West 55th street.

serts that he left the Gosford in an
automobile, accompanied by his younger

to point not many miles from his faith
er's town house. No. a East 34th street,
and the other that he was driven to his
fathers country home at Babylon, Long

spect-that five determined friends or
young Belmont. besides his brother, went
along in the automobile.
At Babylon inquirers last night were
told Raymond was not there. When Mr..
Belmont was asked for an interview at
his home he answered he had no state
ment TO make.
One who knew both young Belmont and
his wife. Miss Estelle Grayce. said last
night that young Belmont was infatuated
with the girl he welded.
