JUDGES ON STAND
CALL EMO SOUND
His Views on Cold Water I'm.
pressed Justice LYNN.

Six witnesses for the proponents Of
the Amos F. Emo will testified in the
Surrogates' Court yesterday that in
their opinion the testator was rational
in 1914 and 1915.
One Of the witnesses was Justice
Lynn, Of the Municipal Court, who
knew Mr. Emo, and told of dinner that
both attended early in 1915 at the home
Of William Mitchell, one Of the execu-
tors of the will.
The justice did not remember the
name of the young woman who sat next
% him at the dinner. except that she
was Of the Juno type" but he did re-
call that the Scotch served pleased the
men diners. And Mr.. Emo did not
miss anything," said Justice Lynn.
After dinner. he said, he and Mr. Emo
discussed real estate affairs. The tes-
tator owned about S5.00O.000 worth, the
justice much less, but the community
Of interest was there Besides. as the
justice said, 81 like 20 get advice cheap
somctimes.' Mr.. Emo pitied Mr.. Lynn
for having a mortgage on his property.
Said the justice: "Mr. Emo said that
the cold water and walk-ups paid him
better than the more expensive prop
erty. because Of the great overhead
charges of the latter" "Cold water
and walkups' are living houses with
no hot water or elevators. Justice
Lynn was sure Mr. Emo was rational.
Ex-Justice William y. Cohen, who
saw Mr. Emo a short time before MS
death. also said the testator was
rational.

AsQUITH FACES
CABINET SPLIT
LansdOwne and Long Al
ready Out, One News
paper Reports.

London. June 27.-Throughout to-
day the air was charged with rumors
of serious Cabinet crisis over the
Irish Home Rule compromise. The
fact that there were two prolonged
Cabinet councils, in addition TO party
meetings, seemed TO confirm this
view.
One evening newspaper announced
that the Marquis of Lansdowne, min
lister without Portfolio, and Walter
Hume Long, President Of the Local
Government Board, had actually re-
signed, but that their designations
had not been accepted. Rumor also
CONNECTED the name Of Lord Robert
Cecil; Minister of War Trade, with
the ministers likely TO resign.
Questions as to the progress OF the
Irish negotiations addressed to Premier
Asquith in the House Of Commons to-
day were postponed at his request This
suggests that hopes of a settlement have
not been entirely abandoned. despite
the action of the English Unionists and
the Unionists from the South Of Ire
land. who are opposing acceptance Of
the proposals made by David Lloyd
George.
One Of the questions which it had
been intended to ask the Premier to-
day was whether the proposals did not
represent the unanimous decision Of
the Cabinet
The Earl Of Selborne explained in
the House of Lords to-day that his re-
tiremeEt as President Of the Board Of
Agriculture was due 20 dissatisfaction
with the proposed settlement Of the
Irish question.
The Earl said his understanding Of
the basis Of the inquiry made by David
Lloyd George was that il contemplated
an amendment of the Home Rule act
whereby Ulster or a part thereof should
be excluded from the operation of the
act and that the bill of exclusion should
be passed during the war. but that nei-
Their the principal act nor the amend
ing act should come into operationn.
When no learned the basis OF the in
quiry had been changed and that IL had
become part Of the proposed settlement
that Home Rule. with the qualifications
mentioned. should come into operation
during the war, he informed Premier
Asquth he could take no responsibility
for such a policy. He said he consid-
cred it dangerous 10 make the change
during the war.
Il say this" he added. while ac-
knowledging in the fullest way the
loyal and patriotic action Of John Red
mond during the war"
Lord Selborne stated that nothing
was expected to be announced definitely
concerning the situation until after a
meeting Of Unionists tomorrow, at
which it was still hoped that the inhu-
ence OF Andrew Bonar Law. Secretary
Of State for the Colonies. who supports
Premier Asquth, and David Lloyd
George, the Munitions Minister. who
framed the Irish compromise, might
possibly avert a rupture. Tonight,
however, Il was announced that the
Unionist meeting had been postponed
until next week at the desire OF Mr..
Bonar Law and the government. This
postponement puts q new complexion
on affairs and permits OF the hope that
a crisis will be avoided.

TELLS STRIKERS
OF ASCENT DIET
DR.. Emerson Says Family
Can Live on That
Sum a Day.

A man with his wife and three chill
dren, the average family Of the 10000
cloak and suit strikers, can live, il nee
essary, on as cents day That was
the message of New York's Commits
sioner of Health, DR.. Haven Emerson,
to the 1000 strikers who crowded the
mass meeting in Carnegie Hall last
night, called by the Citizens Committee
in the support OF the cloak and SUIT
makers of New York, who have been
without work for nine weeks.
Unlike the storms of applause follow
ing the addresses of Felix Adler, Nor
ris Hillquit and Allan Robinson, presi-
dent of the committee, the weary
strikers, many of whom had been on
picket duty since dawn, listened 10 the
Commissioner statement in dead ST.
lence, almost in despair. They knew
they would have 20 come to the starva-
ton diet that he recommended II the
strike continued, and from the enthu-
siasm that greeted the most deter
mined speakers it was evident that IL
will continue.
Scores could be seen translating DR..

of prices on the back of programmes.
One pound of cereal az three cents;
one pound of sugar, eight cents; three
loaves of yesterdays bread. nine cents;
two cents worth OF molasses; oleomar-
garine, twelve cents, and two quarts OF
milk at twelve cents. That is the diet
that hundreds of the strikers memo
rized-the minimum amount or 1000
TO support a family of five.
"You owe it 10 yourselves, 70 the
city and 10 the self-sacrihcing workers
who are supporting you while you are
on strike" said DR.. Emerson, ITO guard
against illness and malnutritlon.
great body of 10000 workers idle for
so many weeks is a great menace to
the health of the city. Already there
has been an increase in the infantile
death rate, in the white plague and IN
anemia.'
DR.. Adler declared that at first he
had hesitated to speak for fear his
presence might create feeling that
the council of Cancellation had not been
fair TO both sides, but he had finally
done so because he realized that the in
terest of the public at large was on the
side of the strikers.
Dr. Samuel McCune Lindsey, Of Co.
lumbia. told the strikers that group
of students and professors had been
studying the conflict. and had given
their adherence entirely 10 the work
ers. who, ne said, were struggling for
the principle of arbitration of labor
disputes rather than for their selfish
interest
Jacob H. Schif assured the strikers
that he felt the shame of the situation.
Morris Hillquit reviewed the history OF
the strike, and declared that the aim of
the manufacturers association was to
place the trade back on its old unjust
footing of years ago.
