of Other Physicians
Services

Paul R. Atkinson, of 500 Washington
Avenue, Brooklyn. treasurer Of the
Edison Electric Illuminating Company
Of Brooklyn, was brought to trial yes
terday before Judge Peter W. Stage
and a jury in Hackenssck in defence Of
an action for 1915, brought against
him by DR.. G. Howard McFadden and
DR.. Frederick Hallett, both of Hscken-
sack.
The unusual question Of whether a
physician, attracted by an accident on
The highway, has the right TO take an
unconscious victim TO a hospital as
private patient 20 the exclusion Of the
regular hospital physicians, and then
charge a large fee for his services,
must be decided.
The suit is an outRrowth Of an auto
mobile accident Of winch Mr.. Atkinson,
who has a summer home at Mahwah,
y. j.. was victim on July !, 1910.
Mr.. Atkinson says that a bystander
telephoned DR.. Hsllett, who in turn
called DR.. McFadden, and the latter
took him to the Hackensack Hospital,
registering him as a private patient,
thus depriving him of the services OF
the hospital physicians
He also charges that owing TO the
"unskilful" treatment Of the -physi-
clans the facial nerve on the left side,
which was injured, was not properly
treated. and on this account he still
suffers defective sight, taste, smell and
hearing.
He also alleges they did not properly
treat a fracture of his left leg. with
the result that he is permanently in

In the Police Headquarters gym
nasium the rockies, led by Lieutenant
Charles Scotied, dressed in khaki
and carrying regulation army rifles,
marched and went through a series OF
exercises that proved their ability to
do soldier work if necessary.
Leading the applause at the end OF
the exercises was Captain Gilmore, Of
the Coast Artillery, who was in uni
form. Commissioner Woods and Mrs.
Woods, former United States Attorney
General George W. Wickersham and
others who have witnessed previous
graduations were carried away by the
demonstration of preparedness.
Commissioner Woods touched on the
delicate diplomatic situation only once
in his talk to the new policemen.
"No one knows what the immediate
future holds for the citizens of this
country. But whatever is in store, all
New York looks to its policemen-all
the country will turn to see what New
York is doing"

Joseph E. Widener
Gives 100000 for
2 Statuary Groups
Only Works of French Sculptor
Gillet in U. S. Bought from
Jacques Seligmann

Two groups Of French garden statu-
airy Of the eighteenth century period by
Gillet--the only examples Of his work
in this country-have been purchased
by Joseph T. Widener from Jacques
Seligmann, of Jacques Seligmann &
Co., at 705 Fifth Avenue. The price is
said to have been 100000.
One Of Gillet's pieces, a marble
Cupid, is in the Louvre. The groups
purchased by Mr.. Widener until re-
Gently were in the garden Of the
Chateau de Valenton, near Nilleneuve
st. George, not far from Paris, where
thew had been since they came from the
sculptor. The figures in the groups,
one of which represents Zephire and
Flore and the other Nertumne and Po-
none, are sculptured life size IN French
white stone.
Mr.. Widener is now having the
groups and the broad pedestals on
which they rest placed on the terrace
in front Of his home, near Philadelphia,
where are housed all the art treasures
collected by his father, the late P. A. b.
Widener.
Mr.. Seligmann sold large part of the
great collection now housed in the
Metropolitan Museum of Art to the
late j. P. Morgan, but had declined TO
bring any art to this country since the
beginning of the war. His two sons
are fighting in the French army. He
was recently advised by the French
government, however, that it would be
well to dispose of French art treasures
il America at this time, and he brought
the statuary over with him while on a
mission for his government.

ALDRIDGE MAN WILL GET
PUBLIC SERVICE VACANCY
Governor Agrees with Monroe County
Leaders-Will Renominate Hervey
[By Telegraph to The Tribune.

lBy Telegraph to The Tribune
Albany, Feb. 16. 80 One of Governor
Whitman's most perplexing patronage
problems, the upstate Public Service
vacancy, caused by the expiration Of
Devoe P. Hodson's term on February l.,
promises to be solved satisfactorily to
all concerned. The Governor agreed
last night at a conference with George
w. Aldridge and other Monroe County
Republicans at Rochester 70 name a
man upon whom the Aldridge crowd
had agreed The nomination will be
sent 20 the Senate Monday night and
will be confirmed without any fuss.
At the same time Governor Whitman
will forward to the Senate the renomi-
nation of Charles S. Hervey, Public
Service Commissioner in New York,
whose term also expired on February /.
The Governor and his spokesman in the
Legislature understand that there will
be some fireworks" over the Hervey
appointment, but that it will eventually
go through.
The principal feeling against Hervey
in the Legislature is based on his par
ticipation in the compilation of the
Whitman budget, in which, incidentally,
a s3.500,000 error was discovered after
il had been submitted TO both houses.
