9 ARMED MEN GUARD
GARBAGE PLANT SITE
Doyle Also Puts Wire Fence
Around Richmond Property.

Nine armed guards and a barbed
wire fence represent Edward P. Doye's
idea of preparedness in defending the
possession Of the meadow land on
Staten Island Sound, at Mariners Har-
Dor, on which It is proposed to erect
the garbage disposal plant.
If Doyle has his way-and he is
backed by the Vigilance Committee Of
100 representing twenty-one Richmond
civic organizations garbage plant
will never be erected and will not fall
into the possession again Of Sterling
Drake. real estate dealer, of % Broad
way, New York, who declares he owned
the land and disposed Of il for the
erection of the incinerator. Contracts
for the plant have been awarded by
Mayor Mitchell and the Board of Esti-
mate. Doyle, who says the land came
TO him through grant, surveyed his
preparedness preparations last night
and dryly remarked that possession
was nine-tenths of the law.
After a conference yesterday between
Borough President Calvin Van Name
and Superintendent of Buildings Will
lam McDermott, the latter announced
that the Borough President had or
dered him to refuse TO issue build
ing permit for the erection Of the gar
bage plant.

SEEK TO SAVE ESTATE
FROM l5-YEAR TIE-UP
Administrators of Mrs. Cutters
Will Move for Compromise.

. Fearing new legal complications
which might tic up the estate of Mrs.
Amelia Gertrude Cutter for fifteen
years, efforts are being made to bring
about a settlement satisfactory TO all

widow of Henry T. Cutter, one Of the
founders of Hegeman G. Co., which has
been succeeded by the Liggett-Riker
Hegeman Company.
Mrs. Cutter left an estate valued at
about 81 100000, but since her death it
has increased in value to about $780,
600. The income from her investments
is more than $4,000 a month. The will
was contested and Surrogate Cohalan
refused TO admit it to probate because
the testatriX was not Of sound mind
and was under undue influence when
she executed the document.
The estate is still unadministered.
Attorneys are working for a compro-
mise to enable the temporary admin
istrators to settle the rapidly growing
estate.
Joseph McCloskey and Frank NJ. Itch
enor. temporary administrator Of Mr..
Cutters estate, are suing George RAM
say and W. McMaster Mills, the adj
ministrators of Mrs. Cutters estate, TO
learn whether mortgages held by them
should be turned over 70 the defen-
dants. Mrs. Cutter inherited her estate
from her husband. They ask that GUS
todians be appointed for the mortgages
il they are to be turned over. The
mortgages represent value OF about
81 100000. There are about fifty per-
sons interested in the estate.

Business Keeps President
from Attending Birth
Abraham Convention.
LEON SANDERS TELLS
OF JEWS IN WAR
Amsterdam Opera House Crowd
ed with $500 Persons
Mayor to Speak To-day.

Owing TO press Of business President
Wilson and Mayor Mitchell were unable
to be present at the opening of the thir-
tieth annual convention of the indie
pendent Order Of the Birth Abraham in
the Amsterdam Opera House yesterday
Grand Master Leon Sanders presided
over a crowd Of $500 that taxed the
capacity Of the auditorium.
At the sessions business opening a
series Of squabbles created confusion
that took all the grand masters par
liamentary ability to handle. The dele
gates, however, abandoned petty Incl
dentals when Mr.. Sanders, in his re-
port, dwelt upon the horrors to which
the Jews in the war zone have been
subjected
Fate, ever cruel TO the Jews" said
Mr.. Sanders, "has picked out with I'M
erring hand the Jews of Russia, of Po-
land and of Galicia for a special. un-
merited place in this world tragedy. In
Russia, despite the Jews enthusiastic
and generous participation in the war.
despite their having sent the flower of
their youth TO perish for step
fatherland, despite their moral and ma
terlal support Of the government, they
have been made the victims of a series
Of monstrous and criminal acts without
parallel in history.
six hundred thousand Jews were
suddenly, without warning, ruthlessly
expelled from their homes in the war
zone, and compelled to leave, often at
dead of night. without conveyance, or
lnhumanly packed in freight cars-the
young, the aged, the crippled, the sick,
even the soldiers wounded in their
country's cause-and left to wander
into the interior of Russia.
thousands persisted or were manned
for life in this terrible flight. Thou
sands were pitilessly left TO die in the
helds In midwinter or were mercilessly
shuttled back and forth at the cruel
Whlm of the gubernator-Natchalnik.
The annals of Torquemada and of the
Spanish explosions contain in numbers
and in extent of suffering nothing to
equal this outrage upon humanity. Can
Belgium's wrongs, can Belgium's sor-
rows, which have aroused the world,
be compared TO this?
The Cossacks in their invasion of
Galicia dealt with the Jews with an
unbridled cruelty that would shame a
savage. Carnage and devastation mark
the trail of the Russian armies"
President Wilson in personal letter
to the order regretted that business de-
tanned him at Washington. Business
has taken shape" he wrote to Mr..
Sanders, (which makes it imperative
that | should be in Washington on the
days when Congress is TO be in ses-
sion. Will you not convey to those
present my warmest and most friendly
greetings and my expression of sin
cere regret that | cannot be present TO
share with them the interest and slim
ulation of the occasion?"
Mayor Mitchell is expected TO address
the delegates to-day.
