THOUGHT WEALTHY,
BANKER DIED POOR
Mark T. Cox, of East Or
ange, Left Debt of
$500,

NEW YORK, Sept. 13.-Papers
filed in the surrogate's Office yester-
day show that Mark Thomas Cox,
who died la East Orange, N. j., on
March %. 1909. and who was sup
posed to have been rich, left debts
greater than his assets. He, with
Robert Dudley Winthrop, made up
the banking firm of Robert Winthrop
&, Co., of 40 Wall street.
The facts were disclosed in the ap-
praisal of the estate of Mr.. Cox,
which has been before the transfer
tax appraisers for two years. In 1911
ex-Transfer Tax Appraiser James
Yereance reported to the surrogate
that the Cox estate was liable to a
tax on 1858, ass.
Charles William Cox, brother of
the banker, and executor under the
will, appealed on the ground that his
brothers debts were really greater
than his assets. Surrogate Cohalan
ordered a new appraisal, with the
result that Appraiser Cuddihy re-
ported yesterday that the estate is
insolvent to the amount of s32O,153.
Appraiser Cuddihy found that the
assets consisted of cash amounting
to $1,517, 1856, which Mr.. Cox had on
deposit with his firm. Mr.. Cox owned
no real estate, but had an interest
in eight different investment ac-
counts operated by his firm. The
eight accounts showed total deficit
of $1.616.624.
The appraiser allowed total deduc-
tions of $220,S15 for debts and other
expenses of the estate, which with
the DEFICIENCIES in the eight invest
ment accounts made a total of ST.
S37, 439 in liabilities, against assets OF
81, ST. 1856.
Charles William Cox, the eXecu-
tor, testified that his brother and Mr.
Winthrop used the deposits of their
customers in buying stocks and
bonds, and that when the firm
bought 6,146 shares of the New Jer-
sey Zinc Company at a cost of ST.
ISL, 100 the money came out of the
deposits. He said that all the securi-
ties bought by the firm cost s6,17S,-

disclosed in the copy of an account.

as one of the strong, conservative
firms in Wall Street.

MAY RENEW FIGHT
FOR LOWER FARE
Commissioner GiIIen Not Sat
isfied With Decision in
Short Line Case.

1t is likely that further steps will
be taken by at least one member
of the Board of Works to compel a
reduction of the present rate on the
Rapid Transit line from Park place
this city to Summit avenue, Jer-
sey City.
commissioner Charles P. Gillen, at
whose instance the original action
against the Pennsylvania Railroad,
which controls the high speed line
at this end, was begun, is not alto
gether satisfied with the decision of
the Public Utility Commission in dis
missing the appeal of the city. He Is
at present carefully digesting the re-
port made by the commission with
view of finding some loophole that
will allow him to bring further pro-
ceedings.
When seen today he declared that
he intended to first take the matter
| up with the city law department and
Joseph G. Wolber, who represented
| the city in the original action. Fol-
| lowing this conference Mr. Gillen
| said that he hoped to be able to in
stitute some sort of action that
would again bring the matter up.
Despite the ruling of the Utility
Commission. with pointed out that
the road is controlled by two separate
companies, the Pennsylvania Rail
road and the Hudson & Manhattan
Company, making it difficult to de-
termine where the fault lies, Mr..
Gillen insists that the present rate
is discriminating. AS is known, the
rate from this city is II cents with
2-cent rebate, while the fare from
Summit avenue to Thirty-third
street, New York, is only 7 cents.
The decision of the commission
calls attention to the fact that this
low rate is probably made possible
by the many stops and the extensive
travel between these two points, and
points out that there is very little
travel between this city and the sta
ton in question in Jersey City.
| Commissioner Charles f. Kraemer,
while considerably put out by the de-
cision. declared that he had expected
as much. He said that he felt that
the commission would take cogni-
zance of the fact that the road was
practically controlled by two CON-
panies. and take the statement of the
Pennsylvania railroad, as it was ex-
planned to the board.
Commissioner Arthur r. Denman
in statement. said: ST appreciate
the reasons given by the Public IT'LL
tiles decision for not reducing the
local fares at this time, yet I ha6
earnestly hoped that the commission
might see it's way clear because OF
the immense volume of passenger
traffic between Newark and New
York on the so-called short line, tt
have made an exception to the rule
and brought about some reduction
of the fares to correspond with tbs
Board of Works request to that end
That is all that I have to say fol
publication at this time"
Commissioners Ryan and Bier
tuempfel could not be reached.

Orange to Buy More Oil
TO Use on City Streets

The oiiiag of streets is considered
q luxury by Councilman Henry Stet-
son, of Orange. Owen Dolan coll
league on the Orange Common Coun-
ell, differs and maintains that it is
a necessity. A majority of members
of the finance committee agree with
the latter and as a result the Com
mon Council is to be asked to sane
ton the purchase by the committee
of two or possibly four carloads of
the dust layer.
The debate occurred at a meeting
of the finance committee last night.
Tt was after Mr.. Stetson had called
the attention of the committee to
the need of economy that the deci-
sion was reached as to whether oil
for streets Is luxury or necessity.
The Board of Health had made re-
quests for more applications of oil
and as a result it was deemed a
necessity
The committee has for some time
been in a quandary over the matter
by reason of the increase this year in
the price of oil. The quantity used
last year was 100000 gallons. which
cost just $500, while this year the
committee has expended no less than
$500, and has received but 10000
gallons.
