New York Supreme Justice Is
Of Opinion That II Would
Be Hard to UntangIe Maze
of Legerdemain Finance.

NEW YORK, July 1.-George J. |
Gould was removed by Supreme Court
Justice whitaker late Monday as ex-
ecutor and trustee OF the estate of the
late Jay Gould. his father, The court
based its action upon the motion made
by Frank Jay Gold, a brother OF George.
In his decision. Justice Whitaker re-
viewed all Of the numerous allegations
OF wrongful acts and wrongful attitudes
charged against the oldest Of the sons
Of the late railroad magnate," in Frank
Gould's motion, but, declaring It impos-
sihle to unravel this apparent leger-
demain Of finance with the aid only
Of affidavits, he based his decision on
three Of the allegations which he said
had been admitted and i~ndisputably
proved"
George Gould's attitude in admitting
these three acts, which he denied were
unjust or wrongful vas In Itself sut-
ficient grounds for his removal, the
court declared, as II proved that he was
either entirely ignorant or boldly de-
liant Of the principles governing the
administration of a trust estate
The charges on which justice
Whitaker based HIS decision were;
THE failure Of the trustees, with
George J. Gould as the dominating
character. 10 divide the estate into six
separate trusts, as directed in Jay
Gould's will,
The acceptance ~ a commission on
the sale OF 2l0,0 2S shares Of the estates
Western Union Telegraph company
stock, said commission amounting to
$500, 401. Il, and his retention thereof,
without the knowledge Of other heirs,
for a period Of eight years.
THE minglinE Of trust funds with
George j. Gould's own funds, and the
use thereof by him as II they were his
own individual property"
The respondents recourse Is to the
| appellate division Of the supreme court,
and II was expected that he would at
once file an appeal there, In an effort
to continue In partial control OF the
Gould fortune, estimated originally at
more than $50, 900, 900.
Justice Whitaker took occasion In
his decision specifically to absolve from
connection with the alleged wrongful
acts, George Gould's sister and CO.
trustee, Mrs. Helen Gould Sheppard,
who appeared in the case in the role
Of neutral" The other co-trustees
were Edwin and Howard Gould.
Justice whitaker said that Mrs
Sheppard evidently knew little OF the
complicated transactions carried on by
George ]. Gould, and trusted him abso-
mteiV. AS an honest woman with an un-
suspecting mind would naturally trust
a brother In whom their father had
placed such implicit confidence
Frank charged In his motion that
Georges alleged mismanagement OF the
estate had resulted in a loss Of approx
mately $2b. 200, 900, and that the heirs
had not derived from the trust created
for their benefit the full amount which
they should have received.

so as to enable him to live finan-
cially care-free and thus be able
to devote his strength to scholar
ship and communal endeavors.
And when the occasion offers
itself for an additional mark Of
his peoples thoughtfulness, then
quietly and unostentationsly the
leading men Of the community
present him with whatever tok-
en- they deem wise, the people at
large not even knowing it. The
parvenu spirit is entirely absent
and dignity, honor and esteem
are preserved as is befitting the
time of honoring a spiritual
leader.
When a congregation nova
days want to signify their re-
gard for their rabbi. and wish to
offer him the expression of their
esteem for faithful services, they
could surely find finer and more
adequate means for honoring
him than the way they ordinar-
lily do. Certainly the pocket-book
is not the only medium of be-
slowing praise for meritorious
service in the domain of relig-
ion. BY far finer a way would be
to show appreciation with our
persons than with our purses
those we delight to honor.
Accordingly it would seem
logical. that the first way of
honoring a rabbi would be not to
diShonor him. A congregation
could highly resolve so to treat
their spiritual leader as to leave
out the customary carping crit.
cism and the foolish fault-fnd-
ing. As was stated in a former
essay. ut looks as though the
rabbi can do no right" No mat
ter how earnestly and zealously
he laborS in the performance of
his duties, he is ever the butt of
criticism. He is not this, or he is
not that. He is always in the
wrong. As public official of
manifold activities, he may have
fifty duties to perform. Forty
nine Of them he will despatch
with efficiency and satisfaction.
while one he may not render
quite adequately. At once he is
sharply criticised as If he had ne
elected every one Of the fifty
duties. A congregation, alas, is
in many respects like a corpora
tion-it has no soui. The public
is ever ready to tear its servants
10 pieces on the slightest provo
cation. Apparently not able to
show perfection in itself it de-
mands perfection of its servants.
But il does seem strange that
the same rich widow who would
contribute a fat check to the
special purse for the rabbi, would
take him to task for failing to
call post haste when a distant
relative of hers passed away to
her eternal reward (peace be to
her slumbering soulD in some
town far away, the bereavement
being entirely unknown to the
rabbi. So II seems wise for a
congregation, after their rabbi
has proved reasonably efficient
for a certain period of time, to
resolve that henceforth they
would not treat him with the
usual harshness. They may pass
