ASKS FATHERS REMOVAL.
Mrs. Marguerite burke Fears Es-
tate Is Being MismanaRed.

Suit was brought yesterday before
Justice Erlanger of the Supreme Court
by Mrs. Marguerite Baudouine Burke
for the removal of John F. and Charles
Baudouine. her father and uncle. as
trustees OF the estate Of her great
grandfather, Charles A. Baudouine.
Mr.. Baudouine died January 20,
1895. leaving realty holdings then as
sessed at s1,30O,Ooo. Their present as
sessed value is s2,50O,ooO. Mrs. Burke
expressed the fear that because of al
legged mismanagement of the estate
her share will not be as large as she
expected. She said the trustees have
spent money so lavishly on horses,
dogs, &C.. that they may have ex-
pended more than their interest in
the income. Briefs will be submitted
