DR.. William II. Allen, director of

terdsy sent a letter TO William f.
Morgan, president Of the Merchants
Association, in which he answered
one of the statements made in Mr.
Morgan's recent letter of Endorsement
of the proposed Riverside Drive-New

DR.. Allen took issue with Mr.. Nor
gan on the statement that the opposi-
ton had ignored the vital economic
necessity" for the improvement of the
New York Centra's freight handling
facilities. He called attention 10 the
fact that julius Henry Cohen, retained
by the city in the New Jersey rate
cases as an expert. and Calvin Tom
kins, also an expert, had argued that
these facilities would be nampcred
rather than improved by the ratiiica-
ton of the pending agreement.
Il is thought that the voluntary
committee of real estate experts who

involved in the agreement may have
their report ready within week.
This report will settle one phase Of

be Mr.. Strahsky's shortcomings as

proved that the public either disbe-
lieves in them or overlooks them. 1t
was an audience as large as any that
has gathered at a symphony concert
this season. The piece de resistance
on the programme was the Beethoven
Fifth Symphony, of which Mr.. Stransky
gave a fairly effective reading. The
other numbers were Saint-Saens's Al

Copy of Destroyed
Will Filed in Fight
Involving 100000
Widow, so, Changed Be-
quests in Favor Of Persons
Not Related to Her

A document purporting to be a copy
OF a destroyed will made By Mrs. Mag
dalena Hermann, widow, eighty years
old. VINO died in 1918, leaving an estate
of 100000, has been fled for probate
There is now before the Court OF APP
peals a decision of the Surrogates
Court rejecting another will made by
Mrs. Hermann. In that will she left
most Of her estate to persons not re-
lated to her. One of them, Surrogate
Fowler said, had a criminal record, and
had become attentive TO Mrs. Hermann
in her last days for the purpose OF in
Auencing her in the disposal of her
estate.
The other will, of which copy is
now filed, was Intentional in the other
proceeding, but its provisions we're not
known. Mrs. Beatrice Noll, who hg-
ured in the earlier hght over the Her
mann fortune, was described by Surro-
gate Fowler as "a German woman OF
marked criminal antecedents," who
entered the employ of the testEtrix as
a servant and obtained a great IN
fluence over her mistress.
Henry A. Kuhl, Of Hicksville, Long
Island. has offered for probate the copy
of the destroyed will. The instrument
was made in 1909, the rejected VIII
having been executed in 1912. 1t IS al
legged by Kuhl that the original OF the
document was destroyed by fraud and
through undue influence that was eher-
cised over Mrs. Hermann.
Kuhl receives one-third of the residu-
ary estate and $4,000 under the de-
stroyed will, and a like amount IS lett
TO John b. Quinton, a lawyer. George
Hermann. of Fort Washington, Penn
a nephew of the testatrix, would re-
ceiye most of the estate if the decision
of Surrogate Fowler rejecting the other
will were sustained.
Mrs. Hermann had an interesting
career. As a young woman she was a
waitress. She married an aged and
rich butcher. At his death she became
involved in n noted will contest, IN
which il was charged that she had UNI
dulv influenced her aged husband TO
