big TINS" ESTATE
HAS MANY SNARLS
Late Politicians Careless
ness in Business Causes
Work for Executors.

Because Of the carelessness OF the
late Representative big Tim Sullivan
in matters Of money the executors arc
having a busy time in Strengthening out
the affairs of his estate and separating
the good claims against from those
which might be in the doubtful class.
Up TO date the claims filed, and on
some of which suit has been brought,
amount 10 more than 100000, and not
all the claimants have been heard from.
Two Of these claims aggregate S310,OGO.
The inventory filed in the Surrogates

tician's personal estate. shows a value
of S10Ol PIT. But Big Tim" also had
equity in real estate estimated al 500
600, so that there is no doubt Of there
being sufficient assets TO satisfy the
legitimate claims. after which there
will be a comfortable amount for the
logatees. who are Lawrence Mulllgan,
half-brothcr; Patrick II. sullivan,
brother; Mrs. Margaret f. Hickey, Sis
ter, and the children of Mrs. Mary Ann
Somers, dead sister.
One Of the instances Of the careless
ness of Sullivan in business matters
was his transaction with a Brooklyn
bank from which he borrowed $4,000,
giving ss collateral securities valued at
100000. At the time OF Sulllvan's
death he had reduced the loan to
$4,000. The executors discovered the
outstanding loan and took It up. They
got back the securities and found
among them $4,000 worth of securities
which did not appear on the list kept
by their late owner. Other such acts
of carelcssness in matters involving
large amounts Of money have made the
work of the executors necessarily slow;
Two of the real estate equities Eeld
by Sullivan were the Savoy Theatre,

HOLDS Bill FOE
OF CIVIL SERVICE
Reyes Says Moon Measure
Would SuppIant Rules
of Commission.

Opposition to the Moon bill, which
requires 2,400 assistant postmasters TO
enter competitive examinations TO re-
tain their classified status. crystallized
yesterday in the form OF letter from
George T. Reyes, assistant secretary of
the National Civil Service Reform
League, to members Of the House of
Representatives.
Section 3 Of the bill, Mr.. Keyes
points out. woulI automatically remove
all assistant postmastcrs in first and
second class Offices, forcing them to
take the examination TO regain their
positions. They would not. even if sue
cesSful. be sure of reinstatement, as
the civil service rules provide that any
of the first three competitors may re-
ceive the appointment.
"The proposal is unjust 70 the as
sistant postmasters who have now
competitive classified status" he says,
adding that the executive order CLASH
flying the assistant postmasters did not
give them automatically a competitive
classified status; this they could only
gain by satisfying the Postmaster Cen
eral of their efficiency. Seventy-fve
per cent /, 70O-of them have thus OBJ

Twenty-four per cent, $50. have been
appointed under civil service rules and

fer or through open competitive exam

hold their Jobs by executive order, have
been in Office more than three years.
ITO require them now 10 enter com
petitive examination for appointment
which would give no guarantee Of re-
ward for efficient service" he contin-
ues, "can only result in disturbance TO
the service and the establishment OF a
precedent which may easily leave our
civil service completely unstable and
disorganizcd.
The provision permitting the APP
pointment Of any Of the three first
competitors "can easily be made "A de
vice for making political removals and
political appointments under the guise
Of the merit system" he says, and the
last clause Of the section, which re-
peals "all laws, rules and regulations

the appointment of assistant postmas-
tcrs. "for the act, if passed, will be

NAIVE PILGRIMAGE
1877 Organizations Join In the
Annual Parade and Hear
Addresses.

The village Of Patchogue, Long ISL
and, had the biggest day Of its history
yesterday, when 10000 members OF the

were 1877 organizations from Brooklyn
and Long Island towns, journeylng 10
the meeting place in several special
trains and hundreds OF automobiles.
The entire police force Of the village
was called out 10 straighten out the
problem Of traffic regulations. One OF
the reasons for the society's visit IN
force was 10 make demonstration
against the use of profanity.
The army of 10000 formed in line
at . p. m, headed by band, and
marched through Ocean av. TO an open
field. where the exercises were held.
The parade was under the direction Of
Grand Marshal +. A. Sharp, Of st.
Francis de Sales Church, Patchogue.
Father James +. Cronin delivered the
address Of welcome for the church and
County Judge John X. Nunk spoke for
the laity. No speeches directly bearing
on the subject Of the society's crusade
against profanity were made, but the
immense number of en- and women
who turned out for the demonstration
is expected 10 bear fruits in moral
sense.

yer, spoke on the subject of Church
and Country" and the entire assem-
