KETCHAM QUITS
ESTATE BATTLE
WITH BROTHER
Former Senator Withdraws as
Administrator--Says Fight

FAMILY is SPLIT SINCE
THE DEATH OF FATHER
Brother Said to Have Com
planned to Church in Which
ex-senator Was Elder.

Upon his own plea that his health
was impaired by his duties as admin
istrator of the estate of his father
which has been the cause of twenty
years of litigation between his brother
and himself. former State Senator
George w. Keteham was removed as
administrator today by Judge Harry
V. Osborne in the Orphans Court, and
in his place Augustus Y. Hamburg
president of the Board of Trade, was
oordiI,onatlv appointed.
William S. Ketcham, jr., of "A Gould
avenue, the brother who has been
fighting the administrator In the
courts and elsewhere over his con-
duct of his fathers affairs. objected
to his removal as administrator on
the ground that it would prolong the
litigation and burden the estate with
the compensation that must be paid
a new administrator. He finally
yielded, however, and suggested Mr..
Hamburg as his brothers successor.
Mr.. Hamburg was suitable to all par
ties and his permanent appointment
will depend on his acceptance.
During the hearing on the admins

fight over the estate were related &c

The letters and conduct of William

to escape further worry on this score
the former senator asked that an out

of his estate. Litigation now pending
in the Court of Chancery would nol

ERIE RAILROAD
MAY ELECTR|FY
BRANCHES HERE
Counsel Tells Mayors Along its
Lines 1t Is Contemplating
Vast Improvements.
special to the Evening star.

PASSAIC, Dec. Announcement
was made here yesterday that the
Erie railroad is considering electrify-
ing its main line and eventually its
various branches in northern New
Jersey, including the Newark and
Greenwood Lake divisions. It was
made known following a conference
in the Railroad Club in Manhattan,
at which c. N Orcutt. chief counsel
for the Erie. and mayors OF many
municipalities along the railroad were
present.
Mr.. Orcutt STAGED that in all prob
ability the Erie railroad viii shortly
install electricity all along its main
line in replacing the present mode OF
steam locomotion This would also
likely mean that the branch lines
would be subjected to this improve
ment. He said that while It is con-
ceded that the cost Of operation by
this method would be very costly, it
is thought that this would be offset
by the vastly improved service the
railroad would be able TO afford its
patrons. He said that this new SER
+ vice would mean much to the towns
along its route and If arrangements
ran be made With the Hudson and
Manhattan Tunnel Company. Mr.. Or
cutt remarked that he would recon-
mend that such a change ise made.
Those present at the meeting were
Mayor George \. Seser. Of Passaic,
Mayor-elect Amos Radcliffe, OF Pat
erson: Mayor ID. a. CARRIER, OF Ridge
wood, Mayor Blac.. Of Rutherford: !:
and Mayor Weaver of East Ruther-
ford
The question Of the elimination of
grade crossings in Paterson and Pas
sale was broached and in reply TO
the queries Of several present Mr..
Orcutt said that it would probably
cost in the neighborhood of sS.00G.00O
10 eliminate these and almost $780,
100000 more to eliminate other cross
ings along the route OF the Erie.
This. was thought to indicate that
nothing would be done in the matter
for some time to come.
II was determined that inasmuch
as several of the municipalities along
the railroad will experience changes
in officials during the next few weeks.
to hold another meeting in January,
at which several other railroad Of
ficials, including President Under
wood, will be present.

.ENNRUDE FIRM is NOT
IN PATENT LITIGATION
Not Engaged in Any Legal
Action Whatsoever, Western
Company Asserts.

Denying emphatically that it is
now, or ever has been, engaged
in any patent litigation, or suit,
the Evinrude Motor Company, man.
ufacturers of detachable rowboat
and canoe motors, writes from
Milwaukee asking The Evening
Star to correct in its columns state
ments concerning that corporation
which Ii printed in its edition of No
vember last. In that article Charles
F. Mckinney, local attorney was
quoted as saying that he had received
from Washington a letter to the ef-
feet that the United States patent
office had rendered n decision in favor
of the Federal Motor and Manufac-
turing Company, for which he is coun-
sci. in a suit brought bv that concern
against the Evinrude Motor Company
of st. Louis ON certain patent rights.
There is absolutely no truth in
this statement writes P. NJ. Talon,
secretary of the Evinrude Company,
"as we are not engaged neither have
we ever been engaged. in any patent
litigation whatsoever"
Based on Letter.
Asked about the matter today Mr..
Mckinney declared that the state
ments in The Star article of Noyem-
Der 5 were based upon letter which
he had received from Richard ID.
Owen, patent attorney of Washing
ton. Apparently, however. The Star
was in error when it stated that n
decision had been rendered against
the Evinrude Company and regretting
that mistake it takes this means of
correcting it with the announcement
that, so far as 1t can learn, the Eyin-
rude Company has not been engaged
in any patent litigation and neither
the patent office nor any court has
decided any matter of the kind
against the Evinrude concern.
The question of the patent arose in
connection with the affairs of the
Federal Motor Company, which had
been before a referee in bankruptcy,
Charles Nj. Mason, for some time. 1t
is claimed by that company that it
has certain patent rights, and II was
insisted by its counsel, Mr.. McI<in-
ney. that IL they are established
the Federal Motor Company's credit
ors can be paid in full.
II was made to appear in Mr. Nc
Kinney's statement that If certain
motor patent rights IN dispute wtre
granted his clients, the Federal Motor
and Manufacturing Company, their
assets. instead Of being valued at
$4,000. would amount TO sl5o.oQO. !

MAYOR WILL
JACK UP CITY
DEPARTMENTS
Wants Better Cooperation of
Forces-.No Politics
in IT.

In order to establish closer rela-
tions between the mayors office and
the various departments of the city
government, Mayor Thomas i. Ray
mond has decided to delve deep into
their administrative methods and con-
duct in general. The mayor is con-
WINGED that more cooperation is badly
needed, and the forthcoming inyesti-
cation is contemplated solely with a
purpose of ascertaining the reason for
the present lack of united effort.
While he feels that the system is
really at fault, nevertheless. the city
executive is of the opinion that lack
of cooperation is not entirely due to
that or to politics.
The mayor was detained outside the
City Hall today and could not be seen
to discuss the investigation for him
self. Nothing could be learned at his
Office about it. From other sources,
however, the reasons for the probe
were learned. So far as could be as
certained, the investigation is not yet
actually under way, though some
doubts have been expressed upon this
point.
Inquiries at the law department met
with the response that no member OF
it had been called upon by the mayor
to carry on the investigation. That 1t
might receive such a summons, how
ever, appeared to be regarded as with
in the realm of the probable.
Mayor Planning Move.
tt has been understood that the
mayor would enlist the aid of the law
department, presumably of City Coun-
sci Spaulding Frazer himself. Before
f fe-mally doing this. the mayor is
Sad to be looking into some matters
for himself and to be comforting with
his principal advisers.
The investigation has no connection
with any proposed legislation, 1t is
maintained by those with whom the
MAYER has consulted. 1t is admitted,
however. that whatever is disclosed
may be of material assistance in put
ting the new charter into operation.
provided the latter should be adopted
by both the legislature and the peo-
pie. Then, too, the results may be OF
even greater assistance in the admin
istration's efforts to prevail upon the
legislature to pass the charter.
There are those who suggest that
such is the real object of the inves-
tigation. In their opinion the admin-
istration is seeking tangible facts
upon which to point out to the leg
isIature the necessity for radically re-
vising Newark's form of government.
The mayors confidants are firm in
their contention that there is nothing
political in the probe. The fact that
some city departments are Democratic
has not the slightest connection with
it. they say. 1t is declared that the
lack of cooperation in the city gov
ernment has been frequently demon-
strated when almost everyone in the
CITY Hall was of the same political
party. This same attitude is con-
tinued when 1t is pointed out that
the fire board and school board have
objected to the way the Insurance
Fund Commission. a Democratic body,
has been issuing insurance for their
respective departments.

of taking over approximately 200
acres of land. comprising a stretch
from the Overlook Hospital to the

The Recommendation of the hospital
committee that the firm of Allen a.

new accounting system in the City
Hospital was adopted. DR.. Webner
reported that City Counsel Frazer
had informed him the committee had

of the adoption Of new system of

by the medical board of the institu-

After the board had been in session
a little more than two hours an un-
expected executive session was de-
clared. At its close. after nearly
half an hour of deliberation. the
board had no announcement to make.
One member SAID later . shift of

ments was correct.
Want Friction Removed.
The board decided, on motion Of
Commissioner Kirkpatrick, to write
Mayor Raymond. asking that the
latter act with them to bring the
health department in closer touch
with the other departments of the
city. Some time ago an alleged lax
ity on the part of the legal depart-
ment Of the city in prosecuting Board
of Health cases was complained OF
by the sanitary committee, and re-
Gently the market committee of Com
mon Council criticised the market
activities of the health department.
The board decided TO request the
