VERDICT OF S49,875
WON BY STEVED0RE
Jury in Brooklyn Court Re-
turns One of Largest Awards
There in Years.

A verdict of s49,s75 was awarded TO
George Tracey. 40, a stevedore, of 2SS
Smith street, Brooklyn, by jury be-
fore Supreme Court Justice Callaghan In
Brooklyn yesterday in his suit against
the Eastern Loading Corporation for
100000 damages. The verdict Is one
OF the largest returned in the Brooklyn
Supreme Court in recent years.
The jury fixed the amount at $52,500.
but decided that Tracey had been guilty
OF contributory negligence, and fixed
the penalty for this at 5 per cent. of the
amount returned This meant the deduc-
ton of S2,625 from the S52.500. Justice
Callaghan reserved decision on applica-
tlon of counsel for the defendant to set
the verdict aside as excessive.
Tracey who has n wife and two chill
dren. was helping in the unloading Of
the steamship Notakay at the Army
Base in South Brooklyn, last March; a
900 pound bale of wool fell twenty-five
feet from sling and hit him. causing
injuries resulting in total paralysis.
Tracey spent seven weeks in a hospital
He was operated upon and piece of
his spine removed. That relieved the
pressure on his left side. but he is still
somewhat paralyZed on the right side.
His lawyer, William S. Butler. claimed
the corporation had been negligent in
the construction of the sling. The case
was tried under the Admiralty law.

MRS. STILLMAN WINS.
ONEOF TWO PLEAS
Named Committee to Care for
Property of Her Children,
James and Alexander.

An application filed last month in the
hart Stilfman, asking that she be ap-
pointed general guardian of her chill
dren, James and Alexander Stillman, and
also committee to take care of their
property. was denied yesterday by Sur
rogate Cohalan in respect to the guard
ianship, but granted to the extent of
naming Mrs. Stillman committee to act
jointly with her attorney. John L. Bren-
nan.
The amount Of the older boys prop
erty is S157,310, and OF the younger ST.
600. 1t consists almost wholly of money
given to them as Christmas and birth
day presents by their grandfather,
James Stillnan. during his lifetime. In
naming Mr.. Brennan to act with Mrs.
Stillman in the care and charge of it,
Surrogate Cohalan stated that he did
so in order that Mrs. Stirlman might
have the benefit OF acting with q per-
son of judgment and experience
1T is desirable" he said, that some
person other than the boys father be
appointed to administer and care for
their property, OWING TO the adversely
Of interests and litigation between the
father and mother"
He denied Mr.. Stillman's request to be
made guardian on the same ground of
adversely of interests and pending litiga-
tion. In g. memorandum of decision
which he filed with the denial of the an
pilcation the Surrogate said that as an
action for absolute divorce was pending
between Mr.. and Mrs Stillman and as
the court which decided it would neces-
sarily designate which parent was to
have the care of minor children and as
the boys were being suitably cared for
In the meantime it was unnecessary for
Surrogate's court to give them into
the custody OF either parent at this time
Mrs. Stillman made her application to
the Surrogate's Court because the will
of James Stillman. which was proved
there. made provision for his grandchil-
aren. In opposing her application her
husbands attorneys insisted that the
Stiliman boys We're only generally and
not specifically beneficiaries under James
Stillman's will.
