L. V. F. Randolph Of Plainfield. n. j.,
formerly president of the Atlantic Trust
Company of New York, has resigned as
executor and trustee Of the Samuel j..
Tilden estate. The work has been about
completed. and the court has directed
that he be paid definite compensation
for his services.
Mr.. Randolph was associated with
John Bigelow and others in the work.
Almost all OF the heirs and trust benefi-
Charles have died during his administra-
tion OF the estate, and his accounts have
received the approval of heirs, beneficial
ries and OF the court
The Tilden estate, which was esti-
mated TO be worth about $5.000.000
thirty years ago. soon after the death OF
Samuel j. Tilden. has been the subject
OF considerable litigation in recent years
because of the differences which have
arisen between the executors and trus-
tees.
George w. Smith was named as a
trustee in Mr. Tilden's will, and Mr.
Randolph was not named until 1908. In
1918. Charles F. MacLesn was appointed
20 succeed John Bigelow, who had re-
signed. Most of the suits In which the
estate was concerned grew out of minor
differences which were soon settled.

Walter H. Greene, formerly a patrol
man attached to the Alexander avenue
police station, resigned from the force
because his salary did not make It pos
sible to pay alimony OF $40 a week, it
was stated in Bronx Supreme Court yes
terday, and has disappeared.
Justice Richard H, Mitchell endeav-
ored to find Greene's counsel when Mrs.
Greene's application to have her husband
adjudged in contempt of court for failing
TO make the payments was called on the
calendar When neither Greene nor his
counsel, Morris S. Sehector, could be
found the court granted the application.
Mrs Greene sued for separation last
spring, alleging cruelty and abuse, and
was met by counter suit of her hus-
band containing similar charges. When
the case was tried Justice Mitchell dis
missed the wife's complaint and granted
judgment OF separation in favor of the
defendant, based on his counter claim.
The stipulation was made, however. that
Greene was to comply with an order of
Supreme Court Justice Mullan requiring
him to pay $40 week alimony and $50
counsel fees.
In the contempt proceedings which she
brought yesterday Mrs. Greene stated
that her husband was $40 in arrears on
his alimony payments. Two weeks ago
the former policeman defended his fail
. ure to pay by submitting an itemized
statement showing that his salary as a
member of the force was $1,000 year
and that his annual expenses were
s1.075.

found a flaw in the papers and held up
the decree.

having quite a stir. A young woman
who described herself as Mrs. Upton's

Mrs. Upton hadn't broken any news to
