HEARST LOSES IN
SMOKE COMPLAINT
Injunction Against Railroad
Over Cars and Soft Coal
Reversed by Court.

The Appellate Division reversed yes
terday the action of Justice Philbin,
who granted an injunction 10 William
X. Hearst. enjoining the New York
Central Railroad from storing cars or
using soft coal in its locomotives on
the tracks along the North River, be-
tween I'D and 96th SITS.
Mr.. Hearst owns an apartment house
at Riverside Drive and S6th st. and his
complaint asserted that the noise of
the cars and the odor of the soft coal
smoke damaged his property and inter-
fered with the peace and health OF his
tenants.
The court pointed out that Mr..
Hearst lived for two years in the house
he now owns before he bought it and
that he must have known about the
conditions before he purchased.
1t also was held by the court that IT
was not sufficiently proved that the
railroad company stored cars on the
track rs that term is usually construed.
The Appellate Division said further
that because OF park between the
tracks AMI the apartment house there
was no encroachment.

Commissioner William Temple En-
met, of the Public Service Comniis-
sion, Second District, issued a state
ment yesterday in an effort to ciariIy
the peculiar situation arising from the
commissions telephone order.
The order was directed against dls-
crimnatory telephone charges, but was
rescinded when it was found that lts
scope was wider than the commission
intended" and permitted the New
York Telephone Company to raise
rates in classes of subscribers other
than the commission had in mind.
THE commission has informed the
telephone company" says Mr.. Emmet
that, in its opinion. those subscribers
who have already acted on the notice
received from the telephone company
and who have made new contracts at
higher rates should be privileged TO
return to the old rates until further
action by the Public Service Commls-
sion. The telephone company, which
has acted in entire good faith in this
matter, will doubtless send out such
notices in due course. but in the mean
time it is desirable that the public
should be advised of the present con-
UltlOn OF dIdlTS NllUOu u'idH'
The original order. as pointed out
BY the commission, was directed
against the custom of Incorporating
in franchises provisions for free tele-
phone service to a large number o
local officials" and in summarizing
the order the commission added:
1.-THE practice seems in some cases
to have been stretched so far as to
give rise TO the suspicion that large
number of people, prominent in their
several localities, are enjoying free
telephone service in return for assist
ance they were able to give the COM
panes in obtaining their local fran
chises. In making the order we had
in mind also the speedy termination
of certain preferential contracts which
were plainly illegal and for permit
ting the continuance of which the tele-
phone companies are probably liable
under the law to the imposition OF
penalties by the state"

PLATONIC FRIENDSHIP STILL
A BEACON IN SEARS,S LIFE
New Thought Leader Gives His Views Concerning
Admiration for. Women-Chides Court for
Attitude in Divorce Decision

at is never the thing itself but the
attitude we take toward it which makes
its effect constructive or destructive in
our lives"
SO said Franklin Warren Sears, gem
eral lecturer Of the New Thought
Church, in commenting yesterday on
the introductory degree of divorce
granted his wife, Julia Seton Sears, by
Justice Giegerich, after long trial in
the Supreme Court. DR.. Sears issued a
long statement yesterday at the head
quarters of the New Thought Church
and School, at 10 West Saith ST., in
which he reviewed the finding Of the
court and deplored the Estate Of mind"
OF the justice in rendering the decision.
According to Justice Giegerich's de-
cision," said VI. Sears, "platonic friend
ship is a delusion and snare, and il
is impossible for a married man, espe-
cially one who has been separated from
his wife for nearly four years because
she has repeatedly insisted on such
separation both by her words and con-
duct, 10 entertain feeling of friend
skip or admiration for woman of
intellect and beauty. with whom he has
become acquainted since his separation
from his wife, without the question Of
sex entering into and dominating his
thought and attitude toward her"
Mr.. Sears asserted that there were
prabably but few men who. at some
period Of their lives. did not feel that
"platonic friendship" was impossible.
He doplorcd that fact.
"Some Of them become so firmly an
chorcd in this thought" he said. that
il seems impossible for them to ever
get free from il and attract even one
decent woman TO their circle Of ac-
quaintances; no one IL pure to that class
o. mind. But. thank God, there are
men who have outgrown such vicious
minds and do get big enough. grca.
enough and constructive enough TO
realize that men and women can asso-
ciatc together freely with pure hearts
and Glenn minds. All OF the great
teachers Of the constructive principles.
both before and since the time OF the
Great Master, have had to pass through
the same experience, of criticism and

CLAFLIN VALUES

Inventory May Disappoint Cred

Meeting July "a.

The receivers and lawyers interested
in the II. B. Clafin Company failure
met yesterday and decided to hold the
first meeting of creditors on July "a,
by which time it is hoped to have
complete statement of assets and la
bilities ready for presentation.
Pending that meeting and until such
time as the statement is complete no
statement of the condition of the com
pany will be forthcoming, The state
men of the merchandise inventory,
which has been completed and is now
being checked up, may also be with
held.
This decision Of the receivers and
counsel is based upon desire TO be
ebe to present an accurate review OF
the situation and 10 prevent future
trouble by raising false hopes through
the presentation of inaccurate figures
based upon estimates.
The work of ascertaining the exact
condition Of the firm has been greater
than it was thought even week after
the accountants took possession. Al,
though they have worked night ano
day, they are now unable to promise
with certainty that the work VIII be
reasonably we'll completed by the time
the creditors meet.
The merchandise statement will sho"

HIGH COURT GIVES
HERMAN Sl4,9S0
Appellate Division Reverses
Changers Ruling .Favoring
Leland of County Bank.

The Appellate Division yesterday re-
versed Supreme Court Justice Erlang-
er's ruling which set aside the verdict
of a Jury in favor of James S. Herr
man in suit against Francis l.. Lee
land. president of the New York Coun-
ty National Bank. The higher court
completely .vindicated the plaintiff
from the charges of misconduct and
ordered judgment entered in favor of
Herman for S14,9S0, the full amount
of his claim.
Herman. in the real estate and con-
struction business, sued for services
rendered TO Leland in building an
apartment house at Madison av. and
Gath st. and in the liquidation of a
mortgage covering property of the
Buckley Realty Company, which owed
money TO Leland. The defence of Lee
land was that Herman had been negi-
gent in the performance of his du-
ties. The plaintiff successfully fought
these charges on the trial, and the
jury gave him a verdict for Sl7,05l,
with interest.
In setting aside this verdict Justice
Erlanger held that it was against the
evidence and the result of prejudice
because Leland was a banker.
Richard T. Greene, of the law firm
Of Greene. Hurd e. Stowell. took the
case to the Appellate Division in be-
half Of Herman. l.. Latin Kellogg
appeared for Leland.
After reviewing the business rela-
tonship existing between the litigants
and the facts leading up to the suit
the Appellate Division said:
"Wc think that substantial justice
would have been done if the trial court
had set the verdict aside and granted
a new trial unless the plaintiff stipu-
lated to reduce the recovery TO the
amount OF the bill"

! condemnation for the violation of the
worlds conventlonalities."
Mr.. Sears "analyZed" the testimony
OF certain witnesses who appeared for
his wife IN the suit and questioned
thelr credibllity. He said in reviewing
the decision of the court he had no de-
sire to cast any reflection upon its
honesty and integrity, but that he was
anxious to go at a better understand
ing OF the state of mind which could
render such a decision on the evidence
before IT,"
This suit for divorce by the plain
I tiff was not brought because she wanted
divorce" he said. "but was a fight
against the New Thought Church in
which the correspondent and myself
were but the pawns in the game. and
just as the rack and stake failed OF
tdeir purpose in the days OF old, so do
these newer methods of to-day also
fail by reason of the attitude we take
toward them. When our Sunday SER
vices are resumed in Aeolian Hall next
November, the constructive power OF
our work will be shown by the con-
stantly increasing audiences from
among those who have the real want in
their lives TO live under the law of
harmony"
The New Thought lecturer, in closing
his statement, said:
at is true that it is possible for the
world TO destroy the reputation of any
one toward whom it's venom may be d-
rccted, but, thank God. it is impossible
fer any one. other than ourselves, to
destroy our character, and neither the
decision of the honorable judge, the
accusation Of the plaintiff, nor the per-
jured testimony Of her witness. can
make me guilty in act or thought"
Sears said he had appealed from the
decision.
Justice Gicgerch. in discussing the
evidence in his decision. said that he
could not believe that the relations of
Mr. Sears and Miss Pauline Langdon,
the correspondent in the case. were
merely platonic, and SOLELY OF an in
tellcctual and sympathetic kind and in
accordance with higher law than what
they designated as man made eonven-
tionalitics."

WOMEN MUST STOP
WORK AT 10 P. M.
Court Rules or Hours in Fac.
tories for Good of Future
Generations.

The Appellate Division yesterday up
held the constitutionality of the pro-
vision of the labor law of this state
that prohibits the employment o. wom-
en- and girls in factories between the
hours of 10 o'clock at night and 6
o'clock in the morning.
The decision was handed down in the
case Of the Charle5 Schwenler Press.
Inc. The firm was found guilty of
employing females during hours that
were put under the laws ban SEN
tence was suspended in Special SEES
so that the consttutionahty of the
statute could be passed on by the
higher court.
II was the contention OF the COM
pany that some of the women in their
employ earned $40 week, and that
the law interfered unjustly in depriv-
ing them of the right to work during
whatever hours they saw fit.
Presiding Justice lngrsham. who
wrote the opinion of the court, dwelt
on the history Of laws concerning
women. "The law" he said. "recog-
nizes a distinction between the sexes
and justifies legislative enactment for
the protection OF the morals of wom-
en- which have not been and are not
now considered necessary in the case
of men.
and from the purely physical stand
point" added Justice Ingraham. 1.-THE
danger of the impairment of the
health of women is equally obvious.
Upon the health of women, necessarily,
depends the health of the succeeding
generations. Any occupation that
tends to lower the vitality OF wom-
an directly impairs the health and
capacity of future generations and is
subject OF the utmost public con-
