Monday, August 3rd. while playing ball on the
Wentworth grounds, and was taken to the
Knox Hospital. where an operation was per-
formed. In sliding to base he came In coi'ls-

HEIRS MUST FIGHT
FOR HOFFMAN GEMS
Jewels Of "Richcst Clergy.
mans" Widow to Form
Basis of Lawsuit.

Ownership OF jewels which belonged TO
the late Mrs. Mary c. HOFFMAN. widow OF
the richest clergyman In the world"
must be decided in a law court.
Surrogate Fowler handed down an opin-
ion yesterday on objections made to the
accounting by William II. Harris and Mrs,
Susan Matilda Watson. wife OF the Rev,
J. Henry Watson OF 81 West Seventy-ffth
street, as executors under the will of Mrs.
Hoffman. Mrs. Watsons mother. Dean
Hoffman left real estate alone worth
more than sl0.OO0.O00.
The chief objections to the accounting
made In behalf Of Hoffman Nickerson and
Margaret H. Gallatin, grandchildren OF
Mrs. Hoffman, related to the failure Of
the executors to account for "A pearl neck
lace and ruby ring worth $l2,5O0. Mrs.
Watson insisted that her mother. who had
other jewelry worth s3s.6O5, gave to her
the necklace and ruby ring long before
death and for that reason they did not
form a part Of the estate
Lemuel Il. Quigg was appointed referee
to determine the ownership OF the neck
lace and ring. ard nc reported that while
II appeared to have been Mrs. Hofmans
purpose to give the ring ana necklace to
ever did so and for that reason the value
of the necklace and ring must be divided
among the heirs. Surrogate Fowler de-
cided that there was insufficient evidence
before the referee to determine the owner
ship OF the jewelry and for this reason he
declined to approve the referees findings
He suggested that Mrs. Watson's co.
executor Mr.. Harris bring an action In
the Supreme Court to determine the owner
ship
"In such an action" said the Surrogate,
"the executor. II he desires. can call Mrs.
Watson to the stand. and as she Ia per-
fectly respectable person. and the daughter
of n well known clergyman. there could be
no presumption against her truthfuness
under any circumstances. 1t In not con
ceivable that Mrs. Watson would tell an
untruth about the jewels on the witness
stand"
The grandchildren also objected be-
cause the executors retained Mrs Hon.
mans large retinue OF servants for four
months after her death and paid their
wages out OF the estate. On this subject
the Surrogate said
whether I'm view OF the long service OF
servants the executors OF person of
means could he expected to turn them out
OF doors the moment the eyes OF their mis-
tress were forever closed | doubt. II
certainly is not the custom among afiuent
families to turn servants of dead people
summarily out OF doors"
The Surrogate holds that the executors
were entitled TO reasonable time In
breaking up Mrs, Hoffman's domestic
establishment and he does not believe
the period of four months was too long
under the circumstances.

Mr.. Beck received letters from villagers

line OF vision will be through a consider
able portion OF the beam of light and
therefore much more difficult TO see.
1t is like looking into a dark room through
lighted one
Mr.. Beck has found that screen two
miles distant Illuminated with his lamp
will act as a secondary source OF light and
itself give forth as much light as loo
candle power bulb
The inventor brought his lamp. mir
rors and other apparatus to New York
on the Graf Waldersee about a week ago.
The work OF transferring the mechan-
ism to Brooklyn navy yard took several
days and 1t was rot Until last night
that the lamp was lighted. and then only
Tor the purpose OF focusing 1t with the
parabolic mirrors. Test OF the lamp will
commence tomorrow.
Mr.. Beck Is well known as an inventor
and holds patents not only on flaming arcs
but upon other electrical devices During
the tests of his lamp he is making his
headquarters at 100 Liberty street with
Louis J. Auerbachor. electrical engineer
! and the author OF several books on cleo
trical matters.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1914-07-19

After many years OF research at his
laboratory at MeiDingen. Germany, Mr.
Beck evolved new principle In arc
lamp construction. II is said to he the
first radical Improvement made in the
arc OF a searchlight for twenty-five years.
Other branches of electrical engineering
have advanced rapidly in that time but
arc lamp projectors have stood still.
The technique OF the new light Is ex-
planned as follows:
Theoretically a mathematical point OF
light in the focal point of a paraholic sill
vcred mirror would give the best beam Of
light. but OF course the source of light or
arc mus; be larger than a point. Inc
larger the source the poorer the reflected
candle power.
Tho old type Of lamps In use have q
carbon arc In which the source OF light
Is from the crater OF the arc. In lamps
of - inch diameter tho carbons are at
present an inch and a half diameter. TIL, y
cannot be made smaller in existing lamps
because then they vaporze on account of
the high current strength. The candle
power Of the present arc itself Is 80. 1000.
Mr.. Beck uses csrbons only tve-eighths
of an inch In diameter instead OF an inch
and half They are not pure carbons
such as have always been in use. but have
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1914-07-19

metallic cores OF light emitting gases.
Thus the initial candle power Of the Beck
arc is 100000. This is multiplied 5000
times when reflected by reason of its small
area.
The way in which Mr.. Beck IL able to
employ flaming carbons OF such small
cross section without vaporiz!ng them Is
quite simple. He plays IA Jet OF gas on
the ends OF the carbons. This tends to
cool them and to form an outer shell at
the same time II prevents the arc from
climbing around the ends OF the carbons.
All Of which may not be overclear TO
the layman but the layman can readily
appreciate the importance TO an army ana
navy Of searchlight from three to six
times as powerful as those nov In use.
The latest torpedoes. for example. have
a speed which makes Il difficult. often
impossible, to detect them with the pres
ent searchlishts. The Beck searchlisht
is likely 10 make II possible to pick them
up with ease. Tests with the new lamps
along this and other lines in Germany are
reported to have been strikingly success
ful. Many elaborate tests are to be made
here by the engineers OF our army and
navy both ashore and on bat.leships under
service conditions.
