ACTIVITY AT FLORAL PARK.

The strength OF the real estate move
ment at Floral Park, Long Island, Is
Illustrated by the sale of practically all
OF the home sites In Floral Park villa, a
large development a short distance from
the station. and the addition TO II Of the
Rudiger estate. comprising sixty acres.
The latter tract is selling we'll and II Is
undergoing thorough development by the
Windsor Land and Improvement Com
pany. Since the electrihcation Of the
main line Of the Long Island Railroad
through Floral Park and the erection of
a modern brick and stone station there
the demand for lots for Improvement has
been steady and prices have rsmained
firm.
Real estate men, in Nassau County es-
pecially, feel that the suburban real es-
tate situation is better now than IL has
been in several years. In fact, they know
IL by steady influx of steady payments
and more frequent sales. The generally
improved condition OF all kinds Of busi-
ness is reflected In the improved tone OF
Long Island real estate.

INSANITY PLEA NOVEL ONE
But Court Holds That the Petl-
toner Was Rational.
BOUGHT TOO MUCH LAND
Then Told Auctioneer That He
Was Crazy for Max
ing Bids.

Many men have often declared that they
must have been crazy" when they
bought something or other for which they
had no use. quite often, too, this express
sion has been applied to the purchase OF
building lots but always IL has been ac-
cepted as a mere figure OF speech, as it
was intended. Now along comes Hyman
CHASER, a silversmith. who lives at No.
1852 Bryant avenue, The Bronx, and
mentally incompetent when he bought
three lots belonging to the Van Cortlandt
estate on June 10 last, and on the strength
of this alleged mental alteration. which
seems TO have been only temporary, he
asked that he be relieved from the agree
ment he entered into when he bought the
lots He has been relieved In the case OF
two of the lots, but Justice Bischon, OF
the Supreme Court, decided yesterday that
he must complete the purchase of the
third lot.
Glasser was not using any figure OF
speech when he made an affidavit or his
mental incapacity, but there were few
things in his story that were shown to
he not exactly as he set them forth, and
a few more circumstances were called TO
the attention OF the court that. while I'M
portant. were not included In the state
ment OF Glasser.

plete the purchase. The lot In question
Was No. 53, and CHASER bid 1t In at s2,oO.
He deposited with the auctioneer at the
time a check for s275, which represented
10 per cent Of the purchase price and
auctioneer's fees. The check came back
from the bank on which it was drawn
marked IN. c." CHASER told the court
that he did not have sufficient surplus
money to take over the lot and that he
could not spare even the amount OF the
check deposited az earnest money. I'm
fortunately for his representations, II was
stated to the court that between the time
the check was drawn and presented FOR
payment Glasser caused payment on 1t
to be stopped at the bank.
Glasser attributed his mental condition
10 the death Of his mother after long
illness. Her illness and then her death,
he said, so preyed upon his mind that no
could not sleep. He neglected his busi-
ness. tore up orders that came from GUS
toners and wandered aimlessly about the
CITY. He was away from his business six
months. On the DAY OF tHe Sdie VI thO
Van Cortlandt property CHASER said he
was riding in a subway train and over
heard two men talking about the prop
erty. They were on their way to the sale
and he followed them there. He had
never heard of the property or the estate
and knew nothing about the values of the
lots. He became excited and an uncon-
trollable impulse overcame him to KID
Before he knew It, Chaser said, he had
bought three lots and signed the neces-
gary papers. The same day his mentel
condition had relapse, and he went to
the auctioneer and explained the situa-
ton The latter let him off In the case
Of two OF the lots, but insisted upon the
carrying out OF the contract for the other
lot. Glasser was sure that he had bid
more than the lot was worth. But that
did not help him. Counsel for Mr.. Van
Cortlandt said that the statements OF
CHASER were not sufficient to relieve him.
The auctioneer said that CHASER did not
tell him OF his alleged mental ,ncom-
petency until August g. nearly two months
after the sale. Some time before that

MINISTER MISSING
The Rev. Lewis S. Fuller Dis
appears Mysteriously From

Friends OF the Rev. Lewis $. Fuller, R.
former resident OF Salt Lake City, were
shocked yesterday when a letter was re-
ceivcd from Mrs. Z, i; Shepard. who is

no trace of the missing man had been
the Rev Mr.. Fuller had hold services at

That was the last seen Of him, SO far as
known.
The Rev. Mr.. Fuller came to Salt Lake
from the east about four years aso and
remained two years, The Rev H. ],
Talbot OF this city said OF him last
night:
"The Rev Mr. Fuller is q member OF
the Methodist Episcopal church in Ohio.
He was assigned TO the anti saloon work
efficient service He was a good leader
and worked with Mrs. r.. l.. Shepard and
other temperance leaders here for about
two years He was confident regarding
the effects of the work here and when
we met with defeat was greatly disap-
pointed.
"From here he went 10 Kentucky where
he had charge of a church, and / think
did not take such active part in anti
ga loon work. ! mean by this. that he
did more of other things while before he
had worked most of the. time for prohi-
biton.
''Thc Rev Mr.. Fuller seemed TO me to
DC happy in his family relations and !
could offer no solution 10 the mystery,
He was a fine fellow and an earnest,
faithful worker"

BOYS LIFE CRUSHED
OUT BY COAL WAGON

Meets Fatal Accident
While at Play.

James Kirk, the 5-year-old son OF j.
III. Kirk, So Chicago avenue. was crushed
to death beneath a Bamberger coal
wagon driven by +. A. Baker OF 10
Mcdonald court yesterday afternoon at
$50 o'clock.
The accident occurred near the. boy S
home. Baker was unloading refuse he had
taken from the Walker building Into a VA =
can't lot near the Kirk residence. The
little boy was playing near the wagon,
unseen by Baker,
Baker says the first he knew of the
accident was when he prepared TO drive
away and saw the boy lying beneath a
rear wheel, The neck WAS not broken and
death came from suffocation, The theory
is advanced that the fine dirt from the
refuse that had been In the wagon made
an outcry from the boy impossible,
When the body was found 1t was nearly
covered with fine dirt: Dr. w: + Beer
was summoned. but the boy had been
dead for some time when the physician p
a wooIgrower is out OF the city, An ef-
fort was made TO locate him and the
