AMBITION BALKED,.
SUES HIS FATHER
John MOller, Jr., Says Sugar
Magnate Denied Him Chance
Seeks $61,500.

John Moller. Jr.. grandson Of Peter
Moller. who with II. o. Havemeyer built
up huge fortune In sugar, began suit
against his father yesterday Tor money
enough to support him. the rest OF his
life.
The story set forth in his allegations
was said to be the first Of its kind In the
history OF the courts OF New York. Mol
Ter recites that when he was 21 years
old he was ambitious to go into business
for himself and win his own way. He
was anxious too to be married. But
his father. he asserts, prevailed upon
him to relinquish his ambition to become
"A captain of industry.
John Moller. Sr.. the complaint al
leges, wanted his son to be companion
and confidant, to take a place in society
and TO be an accomplished gentleman
OF leisure"
Promised an adequate income, Moller,
Jr., says he acceded - his father $
wishes. Now he is "a years old, says
his father has revised his allowance
sharply downward and he finds him
self, because of his training, unable to
make a living. On the ground that this
is his fathers fault he is suing for
SCI. .50O-the equivalent. he contends. of
the income ne should receive until his
death II he lives the normal span of
years. based on the allowance paid him
until last January.
Moller, Jr., through William r. 8.
Hart OF 35 Wall street, has commenced
two actions simultaneously against his
father. One. filed in the Surrogates'
Court. is the customary action to en-
force the declaration of the accounting
Of an estate by an executor.
When Peter Moller, who inspired the
grandson's ambitions, died in 1879, he
left a fortune then considered one OF
the largest in the country. Besides a
large residuary estate he left trust
fund OF $500, 900 TO be divided equally
between four sons, Peter. Jr., Christie
pher. Charles and John, the latter the
defendant in the present suit The boys
were to receive the interest from the
fund during their lifetime. and after
death 1t was to revert to their next
Of kin.
In the petition filed yesterday in the
Surrogates' Court the son alleges he
has asked his father for a statement OF
the character and values of the hold
ings Of the trust fund without receiving
satisfaction. THE fund now includes
only S2OO.0 900. the share left to John
Sr., as the other brothers have died
The plaintiff says that at least $4,000
was paid every year until last January
when Il was decreased to average S3.-
600 annually and then cancelled en-
tlrely on May rs.

old, is still vigorous and man OF
affairs. When interviewed last night

FREE BOWERY EATS
FOR 1000 NIGHTLY
Magistrate McQuade Gets Back
ing for Plan to Aid "DOwn
and Outers.''

Headed by City Magistrate Francis Y.
McQuade. several wealthy New Workers
have started movement for the estab-
lishment of a free eating institution on
the Bowery which is calculated not only
to replace but to rival the charities of
the late Big Tim Sullivan. The plans
call for the expenditure of 100000 n
year. and Magistrate McQuade said last
night that $4,000 has already been
promised for the first year.
1t is proposed to open "A big restau-
rant somewhere on the Bowery at which
a regular meal will be given free OF
charge to every t'down and outer" who
has not been able to find a place TO
sleep by midnight and is in need of a
feed" The doors will be open at i2
o'clock and 1000 meals a night will be
given away 1t is estimated each meal
VIII cost about Is cents or 5000
night.
Magistrate McQuade, who was
protege Of Big Tim and has en-
deaVored to carry on the Big Fellows
methods OF extending cnarity as far as
possible among the Inhabitants of the
Bowery and lower East Side, has made
close study of conditions in that sec
tion and is firmly Of the opinion that
there IL nothing like a good feed" to
stinen an unfOrtunate's backbone and
give him better chance to get on his

One man has subscribed $50, 900
toward the first 100000 and pledged
himself to give $2j. 900 "A year.
Magistrate McQuade. in explaining his
plan last night. said
Il have always been interested in
trying TO do something for the fellows
who are up against it and finally drift
TO the Bowery and since l have been
assigned to the night court l have had
a much better opportunity to study the
types of men who are down ON their
luck. ] am firmly convinced that a
good, substantial meal will do more to
buck up a mans courage and give him
a fresh grip than anything else. l hope
to put my plan into effect as soon as
possible. Already | have been assured
of liberal support"
