New York, July 27.-Almost half 3
century ago, Hart p. Danks composed
the music for "Silver Threads Among
the Gold" the words of which were writ
ten by his friend Eben L. Rexford.
When he died in Philadelphia lodging
honse in 1903, he was living apart from
his wife, and on his piano tattered ciopy
of his best Known song was found, with
the pencilled inscription, 1t Is hard to
grow old alone."
Yesterday 4 proceeding before Sur
rogate Cohalan revealed that some OF
the sorrow and psthos which marked
the final years of the composers life
is now being experienced by his daugh-
ter, Miss Gertrude l.. Danks. Although
her fathers song brought large royalties
and is still popular, it was stated she has
never received anything from his estate
and is now In financial straits.
Roderick Begg, attorney Tor Miss
Danks, told Surrogate Cohalan the
brother had been appealed to In vain.
II believe that within the last ten
years this man has received between
$4,000 end $50, 900 in royalties, Mr..
Begg told the court, yet his sister
has received no accounting and she
ism even able to buy pair OF shoes
such as she needs.
Surrogate Cohalan reserved decision.

weekly luncheon today. Mr. Green was
connected with the administration OF

of $500 cases prosecuted. OF these
cases the most were for larceny but
the crimes were diversified. there be-
ing lo4 different kinds of charges pre-
ferrcd against the defendants.
Mr.. Green related humorous and pa
thetic incidents concerning the de-
fcndants. showing the mistakes that
some had made, and what wonderful
citizens others would have made IL
they had trod the narrow path.
He spoke of the drug act which he
prepared and which was enacted by
the Legislature. This act which regu-
lated the use of narcotics, has since,
AIR. Green said, been approved by
government authorities as the best
drug act on the statue books of any
state.

Several years ago Mrs. Martin w.
Littleton. wife Of the New York lawyer,
undertook n campaign for the purchase
of the famous old mansion and IL es-
tate. for dedication as a nat onal shr ne.
Mrs. Ittleaon's idea was that Month
cello should be purchased by the Cow
ernment and she spent long periods IN
Washington Interviewing Senators and
Representatives and officials of the
Government.
The project found considerable favor,
especially among Democrats, who were
admirers of jefferson but 1T was not
widespread among Congressman TO OBJ
tain support for an appropriation Tor
the purchase.
In the summer OF 1920 the movement
for the purchase OF Monticello was re-
vived with the announcement OF the
Thomas jefferson Memorial Association
that suhscrip ion was to be taken up
for 81 600, 900. II was explained that the
estate, which comprises 100 acres, bad
been offered 10 the memorial associa-
tion BY jefferson NJ. Levy, former Con-
rressman, and that was expected that
The money for its purchase would be
acquired in n few months.
MIR. Levy il was said at the time, eZ-
pressed a willingness to sell Monticello,
on the understanding that it was to be
converted into q national memorial.
IL also was said that Mr. Levy had
offered TO advance half the purchase
price for tho historic place, IN addition
to donating all the jefferson relics,
which were valued at from $500, 900 to
$3.50. 900. James w. Gerard, former AM

duction. The tax Is payable in adj
vance, returns filed in July of this

scribed in regulations SO, revised,

With a view TO the prompt collec-
ton of the capital stock tax, and for
