CITY WINS MARINE H0N0RS.
District Gets First 100 Per Cent.
Certificate.

The West has had the reputation OF
producing the big physically built men
that make the reputation of the United
States Marine Corps. but the tradition
was shattered yesterday when Col. A. 8.
McLemore. officer in charge Of recruit
ing at Washington, issued to the re-
cruiting district OF New York a certifl-
cate Of merit for its 100 per cent.
months work. and the first one OF its
kind ever issued.
The New York recruiting district Sc
cured during June 1000 physically per-
feet and mentally alert recruits for tho
service. receiving also the thanks and
sincere appreciation" of Major-Gen.
Commandant Barnett Lieuts Gardner
and kneller of the New York district.
whose headquarters are at "a East
Twenty-third street, had copies Of the
certificate OF merit made for the officers
working with them.
Two men who have brought in a num-
Der OF recruits are First Sergeant Miller
and Sergeant Roger J. c. Wilson, whose
tent is pitched In Franklin Square and
who is known as the millionaire re-
cruiter." having brought into the service
many Wall Street men. How difficult 1t
Is for men to make the marines Is seen
by the fact that one day this week for
ty-three men were examined and forty
two failed to pass the tests.

VANISHING PEARLS
HALT WILL ACTION
Mrs. Anna A. Johnston De-
mands $4,000 in Lieu of
Lost Bequest.

Mrs. Anna A. Johnston OF &c West
Fifty-eishth street. to whom was left a
$4,000 pearl necklace by Mrs. Mary
Vaudeville Johnston. her daughter I'm
law upon the latter's death, but who
never received the jewels because Of
their mysterious disappearance In 1914,
filed an objection in the Surrogate's
report of Thomas Ludlow Chrystie, who
was appointed a referee to inquire into
the circumstances connected with their
disappearance
In his report Mr.. Chryslte said there
was no doubt the necklace claimed by
Mrs. Johnston really existed. He do
clared, however. that the Lawyers Title
and Trust Company. executor of tho
younger Mrs. Johnston's WILL never
came into its possession and was not
to blame for its disappearance. Surro-
gate Fowler will listen to arguments
next Tuesday.
Mrs. Anna Johnston maintains that
tho referees report Ia Inconsistent in
making the following statements:
That the beduest Of the best string
OF pearls Of present value Of $40, 900,
was made by Mrs. Vaudeville Johnston
10 her mother-ln-law, that the executors
were notified that such beQuest and an
other of ruby ring were in danger
of being sold at ClarlIe's auction rooms.
that the ring was sold. that the string
OF pearls disappeared from the show
casA in which she had recognized II and
called the attention OF the representa-
tives OF the trust company TO It and
notified them of the danger of having
1t left exposed therein"
Mrs. Anna Johnston asks that IF
such necklace or Its equivalent be not
delivered within thirty days after the
entry OF the decree then and in that
event the Lawyers Title and Trust Com
pany be adjudged, decreed and directed
to pay over to Anna A. Johnston the
sum OF $40, 900. the present replacement
value OF said necklace SO bequeathed
to her. with interest"
Tho necklace was originally pur-
chased for Mrs. Vaudeville Johnston
many years ago in Venice by Edward
s. Johnston. her husband. AT that time
It was eighteen inches long. Every
Christmas and on other occasions the
