The following letter, which ap-
peared in the New York Sun today,
sheds some interesting light on the
possibilities of the good faith and
reasonable discretion" clause in the
law governing the action of trustees,
as interpreted by the Court OF Errors
and Appeals of this State. The let
ter which speaks for itself. follows.
To the Editor of the Evening Sun:
Sir-The gas rate case that is bring
ing so much publicity TO the New Jer-
sey Court of Errors and Appeals Is
not the only case in which the high
est court of this State has rendered
a decision that is unsatisfactory from
more than one point Of view.
The case of Carrie S. Beam, com
plainant, against the Paterson safe
Deposit and Trust Company, defend
ant, was decided against the COM
plainant on November 16 of last year
and a brief history Of the case may
at this time be of interest to the pub
lie.
The suit was brought In the Court
of Chancery TO compel the trust COM
pany to account for loss of approXi-
mately $51, 900, occasioned by its re-
| tention Of certain New ofk traction
securities which declined in value to
the extent of causing d loss Of this
amount.
The trust company set up the de-
fense that as it had obtained these
securities Cor the securities had come
to it) from the testatriX as invest
ments made by her in her lifetime 1t
was entitled to hold them with the
EXERCISE of good faith and reasonable
discretion" as the statute of 1899 pre-
scribes 1t held that in holding on to
the securities it had exercised good
faith ard reasonable discretion.
The suit was begun in February.
1872, was decided in favor of the COM
plainant by Vice Chancellor Stevenson
on a demurrer, was decided by tie
Court of Errors and Appeals in favor
Of the complainant, upholding this de-
c'sion of the demurrer; was decided
in favor of the complainant on the
merits of the case at the trial bef9re
Vice Chancellor Howell, was reopened
by the latter and the decision again
confirmed, and then finally reversed
and upset by the same Court of Err

The sum and substance of the de-
cision of reversal was that receiver

URGES INDUSTRIAL
TRAINING FOR GIRLS
Advancement in This Work
Told at Conference of In
structors Here.

Industrial Training for Girls" was
the subject for discussion at the
morning session of the conference be-
ing held in the Girls Industrial School,
Washington street, today, by the
principals and teachers of vocational
schools In the State. Mrs. Iris Prouty
oLeary, Of Jersey City, was In
charge.
In an opening address made by Mrs.
O'Leary, she stated that the girl who
goes to college or has definite aim
in life does not want to go to the in
dustrial schools, and neither are the
schools in existence for these girls,
but, on the other hand. they are not
a place where delinquents are put. she
said. Records show that 70 per cent.
of the girls In the public schools leave
before they have reached the High
School grades, and many of them leave
before they have reached the seventh
grade. There must be some place for
these girls. they are not fit for any
position, and it is the industrial school
which fills the gap. Mrs. O'Leary
continued by stating that manual
training is the general education to
make intelligent citizens. The voca-
tional schools train the girls to earn
their living. Manual training In
schools is for the purpose of making
intelligent consigners and vocational
education is to making intelligent pro-
ducers.
Miss Griseida Ellis, principal of the
Newark school, told of the work of
her district. In illustrating that
many parents do not know just what
the schools are, Miss Ellis told OF
case where a father had sent his ff-
teen-year-old daughter, who had not
reached the seventh grade in gram
mar school. The father was under
the impression that If he sent his
daughter to the school for three years
she would be fitted as teacher.
She touched briefly upon the SUB
iect of entertainments for the pupils
Also of the new system or marking
records which is being practiced. Ine
girls mark their own cards, ana III
this way the girls show more inter
est in their work.
Miss clara Ellsworth, Of Atlantic
tlIX, III u 6llOlt 0tdtChhObSt sOAN -
the work being done there. Miss
Ellsworth emphasized the point that
teachers in her school have a great
deal of trouble making the girls come
regularly to school. The irregular
attendance she stated was perhaps
due to the many attractions in At
lantic City.
Miss Florinda Welsh, who is in
charge of the industrial school IN
East Orange, and DR.. Ernest B. Kent,
of Jersey City, each gave short talks
on industrial schools.
At the afternoon session the dis
cussion was on general topics bear
ing upon vocational education for
girls. The speakers were DR.. David
B. Corson, assistant superintendent
of schools in this city; Wesley A.
O'Leary, connected with Pratt Insti-
tute, Brooklyn; Miss Laura Parker,
former head of cooking department
in schools of New Bedford. Mass,
and Lewis H. Carris. assistant COM
missioner of education.

CHANGE ANENT
CENTRAL AVE.
Essex Trades Council Delegates
Report That Improvement
May Be Made.

That Mayor Raymond might with
draw his opposition to the extension
of Central avenue, from Broad street
to the Market street depot Of the
Pennsylvania railroad, was the re-
port made at a meeting of the Essex
Trades Council last night. Delegate
Henry J. Lohse declared the mayor
had announced that his mind is still
open on the subject, although ne had
already declared his opposition to the
project.
Delegate Lohse and Henry T. Hill
fers, secretary of the council, told of
conference held yesterday by a
number of prominent business men
and the mayor. After hearing many
arguments in favor of the extension,
Mayor Raymond declared he wanted
to hear from those who would be as
sessed for the improvement and learn
how they feel about 1t before he would
make any change from his present
position.
Both Mr.. Lohse and Mr.. Hilfers
pointed out that the mayor should
withdraw his opposition to the Gem
tral avenue improvement. as well as
to the erection of new Centre Mar
ket. 1t was shown that many skilled
workmen now among the unemployed
would be given work If the mayor
would decide to have these improve
ments carried out.
Frank A Fetridge, president of the
council, told of conference held
yesterday with the mayor. Many
prominent business men urged
Mayor Raymond to withdraw his op-
position to the Central avenue ex-
tension. Mr. Fetridge continued:
Mayor Raymond does not seem to
grasp the situation of the unem-
avenue and new market improve
ments are carried out they will pro-
vide work for a large number Of
mechanics who are now idle.
THE mayor has only one hobby,
and that is to keep down the taxes,
no matter what the consequences"
Oppose Local Option.
Members of the council were urged
by Adam Zusi delegate of the Brew
cry Wagon Drivers Union, to pre-
sent strong opposition to the local
option bill. He said that If the bill
became a law it would mean the be-
ginning of Statewide prohibition,
which would throw many men out of
employment. The delegates were
asked to write to each assemblyman
from Essex county and urge him to
oppose the measure.
1t was announced that former As
semblyman John A. Matthews will
speak on Anti Woman Suffrage" at
the meeting of the council next Fri
day night.N Delegate Willard l..
Small called attention to the benefit
performance to be given at Keeney's

Germans Seize Oil Cargo
from Danish Ship. Report

LONDON, March 20.-A cargo of oil
aboard the Danish steamship BrysseI
has been confiscated by the Germ. u
authorities in the Pomeranian seaport
OF Swinemunde. according TO a dis
patch from Copenhagen to the Ex-

The feeling at Copenhagen, the dis
