TEST OF SANITY FOR
H. TOWNSEND MARTIN
Mind Believed to Have Been
Unbalanced by Shock of
Brothers Death.

That the shook OF the sudden death
within a year OF his brothers Frederick
Townsend Martin and Bradley Martin
Is believed TO have unbalanced the mind
Of Howard Townsend Martin. c. years
old, was disclosed in the Supreme Court
yesterday when Justice Donnelly signed
an order directing lunacy commission
to determine Mr.. Martins sanity. The
application was made by Bradley Mar
tin. n nephew, OF Westbury. l.. l.
Mr.. Martin came here from London
/ last November against the advice OF
many friends. who knew that he had
been seriously affected by the loss Of
his two brothers. shortly afterward he
was sent 20 ST. Augustine, Fla, to re-
cuperate, but while there mental trouble
/ developed and he was treated by DR..
II. VI. Seagars.
His son, Townsend, student at
Princeton, and his nephew. Bradley
Martin, were summoned South to see
him, and they say they found that his
mllady had developed so rapidly that
he had lost the power TO read and write.
He was brought here on April las, by
his relatives. and his condition grew
worse. Various deluslons are said TO
have developed and 1t was found neces-
sary to have him committed to pr.
FIavius Packers sanitarium az River
dale. lie Is still there.
Drs Samuel T., Getty and w T..
Schoonover OF Yonkers, who examined
Mr. Martin In the sanitarium, made AMI
davit that II would be inadvisable to
serve him with notice of the proceedings
to have a committee Of his property APP
pointed on the ground that disastrous
results might follow. The proceedings
are not opposed, since his second wife,
who was Justine de Peyster and who il
living on the he peystcr estate at TIvoli.
y y. has given her consent.
The affidavits in the case show that
| In addition To owning property worth
y2lj. 900 Mr.. Martin will receive s7I, 900
under he will OF his brother, Frederick.

ACTORS MAY FORM
PROTECTIVE UNION
Treatment by Managers Is
Given as the Reason for
the Plan.
IDEA LONG CONSIDERED

The formation OF a union of Amcr,-
can actors and actresses. similar to the
American Federation OF Labor, is being
considered BY the Actors Equity Asso-
ciaoion The purpose Of the organiza-
oion. II the plans go through will be, to
force managing producers TO treat mem
oers Of the profession more favorably in
tho matter of contracts.
The sponsors Of tho idea say that the
action of Now York managers in
peremptorify throwing actresses and ac-
tore out OF work after rehearsing them
for several weeks and promising them a
contract has ncccssitated the considera.
ton OF such project The formation
of sort Of protective union will be
launched. however. only as a last re.
sort.
Howard Kyle. secretary OF the Actors
Equity Association, said yesterday:
1T may become necessary to take n
definite and united stand This can
most satisfactorily he done by forming
such union AS outlined. II will give
the actors chance to dictate some OF
the terms relative to their contracts
without interfering with the proper and
acknowledged rights and duties Of the
managers. Nothing definite has yet
been done. although 1t has been favor
ably considered by several of US"
II Is understood that grievances OF
one kind or another are held against
most OF the New York managers.
During the last six months or more
the Actors Equity Association has
fought the practice charged with more
or less success. 1t Is believed, how
ever, that unless managers in general
take fairer stand concerted action
will be necessary on the part OF the
profession AS a whole
Mr.. Kyle and his associates are also
making strenuous protests to the Inter.
state Commerce Commission against the
increase in railroad passenger rates
which, IL Is claimed. will throw nearly
1000 actors out of work next season by
reason of the enforced closing OF abou,
200 road companies. The Actors Equity
Association Is acting in conjunction with
