Butterheld Executor
Accuses Associates

COLD SPRING, y. Y, Dec. 6.-Alber,
F. Hagar, lawyer and one of the three
executors of the S4,7O0.0 900 estate of the
late Julia Lorillard Butterfield, of Put
nam County, petitioned Surrogate j.
Bennett Southland to-day TO remove his
coexecutors, DR.. Calvin May and David
Hardness. Mr.. Hagar charged that both
these men were completely dominated
by Noah c. Rogers, their lawyer, and
also accused DR.. May of perjury.
Mr.. Hagar alleged that DR.. May tes-
titled that his melical services 70 Mrs.
Buttertield were worth $500. when, IN
fact. they were worth only $3.50. He
added that the physician further falsi-
fed by testifying that all of the eXecu-
tors approved of his claim.
He claims further that the statue
which Mrs. Butterfeld directed in her
will should be erected to the memory of
hsr husband, General Buttertield, Of
the Union Army, was a monstrosity and
had been placed by the other two execu-
tors at 122d Street and Clairemont
Avenue, New York City, when the will
directed that it be placed in Central
Park. The statue was only recently
unveiled. He also objects that the other
executors allowed fees of $4,000 TO the
Rogers law firm.
Thaddeus Terry, partner OF Rogers
denied these charges, and accused Mr.
Hagar of lying outright. The surrogate
finally said that he would entertain a
motion from the complainant asking for
a citation. This will oblige the CO.
executors to show cause why Hagar' 5
motion to remove them should not be
granted.

Social Register Shows
Wars Effect on Society

This years Social Register just out,
shows the effect Of the war on society
in a number of ways. There is an in
crease in the New York marriages Of
SO per cent, compared with last year,
and an average increase of % per cent
in the marriages Of all the cities COW
cred by the Social Register. During
the year 993 persons have married, and
in all the cities covered by the Regis
ter 3,770 persons have married this
year Seattle, Wash. leads in the num-
Der Of marriages. being 200 per cent;
Washington and Pittsburgh come next.
with an increase of so per cent; then
San Francisco and Portland, Ore, with
90 per cent; Philadelphia, with 40 per
cent, and New York next.
War times have arrested the upward
growth of New York's centre Of social
population, for IL is found TO be still
half way in the Fifth Avenue block, be-
tween Sixty-sixth and Sixty-seventh
streets, slightly east Of the Avenue, just
where il was two wears ago. Although
the growth has averaged little more
than a block a year ever since 1891,
when the tests were first taken by the
Social Register Association, this is the
first time no northerly growth has been
indicated. There has been falling of
during the last two years in the con-
struction of new residences and the
concentration of families in apart
ments. and most Of these apartment
houses have been constructed on the
lower end of Park Avenue.
The Social Register has added De
troit to its list of cities covered, and
a new departure is the insertion Of
weekend addresses. with telephone,
house and railroad addresses. The many
military titles indicate the numerous

that the general telephone service in
that borough is very poor and that the
telephone company does not employ
sufficient number of operators or main
tain a sufficient number of exchanges.

company should allow a rebate TO Gus

Engineers Advocate
Exact Fuse Timing
Society Told of Perils to
Troops if Barrage Fire
Is Imperfect

How carelessness in inspecting mu-
nitions might cause small fuses, small
carrying power or some apparently
minor defect which would lead to
wholesale slaughter Of American troops
was explained in a paper by Colonel
W. 3. Dunn, Of the Ordnance Depart
ment, at the meeting Of the American
Society of Mechanical Engineers yes
terday.
Barrage fire, which IL supposed to
clear the way for troops. forming cur
tain behind which they advance, he
said. would be frightfully destructive
if defects in the ammunition allowed
few Of the shells 10 burst too soon. i MS
was the reason, he said, for the hlgh
standardization and red tape demand
ed by the Ordnance Department.
Sir Charles Ross, Of the Ross Rihe
Company, which has been taken over
By the Imperial Munitions Ministry OF
Great Britain, advocated the estabH sn 20
,ment Of an independent board when
should stand between the manufactur.
ers and inspectors on the one nand ana
the Secretaries of War and Of the Navy
on the other.
Such board, he said. would be
great relief to the chief technical officer
of the government in Strengthening out
troub es between inspectors and manu-
facturers.
