Taxi owners divided along strict
party lines yesterday when it came to
expressing an opinion on Deputy Police
Commissioner Harriss's plan of estab-
fishing a legion OF honor for public
ehauffeurs, q legion whose insignia
would supposedly enable passengers
to discriminate between trustworthy
and irresponsible drivers. The big
owners went on record as approving
the idea, while the independents, who
drive their own cars, were almost
unanimous in voicing the suspicion that
the plan would further the process by
which the big FISH in the taxi business
are gradually absorbing all the trade.
This legion plan would let the
police tack bouquet on their favor
ties and give the cold shoulder to
honest drivers who might not agree
with them in politics or religion said
one independent who started his COM
ments with "For the love OF Mike
don't give my right name"
I'VE figure that the big companies
most likely would stand in well, and
anyhow slip would not hurt them
as much as 1t would u.s.. If half, o
dozen of their drivers had accidents
they would still have couple of
hundred who would get the legion in
sigma to nail on their cars, but ii

that would put me out of business"

old Mother Nature.

After his return to his home the
young Fox who had escaped from
Farmer Browns took a long rest. But
at last he grew hungry and his stom-
ach would give him no peace. You
see, he had escaped before Farmer
Browns Boy was up and SO he had
left without his breakfast. 1t seemed
queer to have to start out to hunt
for a breakfast 1t had been long
time since he had had to do that.
While he was a prisoner his breakfast
had been brought 10 him every MORN
ing.
So the young Fox started out to
look for something to eat. The easiest
hunting would be for Meadow Mice,
SO he once more headed for the Green
Meadows. They were no longer
green, but were brown. You see, 1t
was fall now and there was no longer
green grass. e4
1t didn't take him long to discover
s. fat Mouse. But when he jumped
for it he missed it. You see, that
dragging chain spoiled his jump. The
Mouse he discovered. Two or three
times the noise of the dragging chain
frightened Mice he might otherwise
have caught. Finally he had to give
up. 1t was of no use trying to catch
sprv Meadow Mice so long as that
chain was dragging behind him.
Then he went over in the Green
Forest. There the chain gave him
more trouble than ever. 1t kept
catching on sticks and stumps and
the ends of logs. When he tried to
walk still, in the hope of surprising
some one, that hateful chain clinked
behind him. At first it made him
very angry. Then it began to worry
him. Finally il actually frightened
him. 1t frightened him because he
began to suspect that because of it he
might not be able to get enough to
eat.
OF course, che sharp eyes of Sammy
Jag and of Blacky the Crow discovered
that hateful chain dragging behind
the young Fox and they were as en-
cited as only those two scamps can
be. You know, they dearly love to
see others in trouble. They followed d
along behind the young Fox and
every time the chain would catch and
bring him up snort they would make
fun OF him. OF course, they spread
the news all through the Green For
est and others of the little people

McAdoo Counsels
Drastic Changes
In Traffic Laws
Urges Limitation of Taxicab
Licensesand, if Necessary,
Exclusion Of Pleasure
Vehicles i'm Lower City

Drastic changes must be made in the
police regulation Of traffic and in or
dinances governing chauffeurs If lives
in New York are to be protected, Chief
City Magistrate William McAdoo said
yesterday in his report on the opera
tion Of the Homicide Court, which was
started last month.
In explaining about the inability to
charge truck or motor vehicle driver
with carelessness when pedestrian
or child is killed, Magistrate McAdoo
said:
"Thcre are thousands of unpoliced
crossings where there is no mechanical
or other substitute for the individual
policeman. The only relief for these
children is those streets given up for
use as Fairgrounds by order of the
Mayor. ~
Il have advocated for long time
past that the police should cover at
least 1900 dangerous crossings, now
unpoliced. The pedestrian should be
compelled by ordinance to cross at
these points and if THY did not do so,
should be fined.
"In spite of all organized efforts for
safety we have here in the traffic court
from 400 TO 500 cases on most days
the cour= is sitting. This morning
there wers over 400 And this will
continue ualil We get down to the

Miss Emily F. Southmayd, who has
been described as woman who lived
in a cave" because in the last years Of
her life she refused to open the win
dows of her home or have them
washed, was pictured by witness in
the Surrogates' Court yesterday as
alert for woman ninety two years old.
Her will, disposing Of about S3,ooo,ooO,
most Of it to public institutions, is
being contested.
The witness was Edward G. Parish, n
lawyer, one of three witnesses to Miss
Southmayds will. He said he had
never seen her wearing dirty, torn or
shabby clothes or broken and out
shoes.
Thomas T. Sherman, member Of the
law firm of Evarts. Choate, Sherman
G. Leon, continued his testimony yes
terday. He drew up the codicil in
which Miss Southmayd left $4,000 to
Allen w. Evarts, her attorney and part
ner of the witness. Mr.. Evarts is a
son of the late William M. Evarts, n
former United States Senator and
partner of the late Joseph Fl. Choatc
and Of Charles T. Southmayd, brother
of the testatrix. Mr.. Evarts also in

Mr. Mooney referred to the late Will
liam r. Montgomery, an employee of
the Sherman law firm, who handled
some of the affairs of Miss Southmayd
as 'factotum" and 'handy man." Mr..
Sherman said he knew of $4,000 loan
Miss Southmayd mada to Mr.. Mont
gomery on mortgage Of property
owned by the latter. He denied knowl-
edge, however. Of $4,000 transaction.
Asked whether he would allow an
employee to receive large sums OF
money from client without asking
the reason for it, Mr.. Sherman said he
would not, but he could not say
whether or not his firm had inquired
into the matter. Mr.. Sherman an
swercd afirmatively when asked
whether Miss Southmayd had lent
money on mortgage to his brother,
Herbert A. Sherman.
Mf. sherman SAID ne mad been sur
prised to learn a few days ago that the
law firm Of Evarts, Choate & Sherman
had an Office listed in the teleph one
book at l3 West Forty-seventh Street,
the residence Of Miss Southmayd.
Mr.. Mooney elected the information
that Mr.. Sherman is n trustee of the
New York Genealogical and Biographi-
cal Society, of which Mr.. Evarts also
is an officer. This institution was a
beneficiary in the will of Miss South
mayd, who in her lifetime had con-
tributed to it. The witness denied that
any influence was used on the decedent
to obtain these contributions. Mr..
Mooney moved that all the testimony
| of Mr.. Sherman be stricken from the
court record because OF his connection
with the society benefting under the
will. Surrogate Foley reserved de-
csion on the motion. The trial will be
continued o-day.

of Unsound Mind When
lie Cut OF Daughters and
Sons With Dollar Each
AssaiI Lcgaiee's Adoption
Mrs. Dorothy Carmso Ono of
Contestants i'm Probate
of The $500, 900 Estate

The Eve children OF Park Benjamin,
patent lawyer, scientist and author,
who cut them OFF with one dollar each,
filed a contest Of his will in the Sur
rogates' Court Yesterday. as they had
previously announced their intention
Of doing. The contestants. who in
clude his daughter, Mrs. Dorothy Ben
iamin Caruso, widow of Enrico Caruso,
also attacked the validity of their
fathers adoption of Miss Anna Bolchi
benjamin, the principal heir under the
disputed will The other contesting
children are Mrs. Marjorie B. Glenny,
Mrs. Gladys b. Goddard, Park Ben
jalnin and Romeyn Park Benjamin.
The contentious on which they base
their objections TO the probate of the
will are that Mr.. Benjamin was of
pnsound mind when he executed the
instrument on May H. 1920, and also
was under the undue influence of zone
Anna Bolchi," who, the disinherited
children say. is improperly described
as Anna Bolchi Benjamin. Mrs. Caraso
and her brothers and sisters also de-
clare that the chief legatee in the
will is neither an heir-at-iaw nor a
next of kin.
In cutting off his sons and daugh-
s,
cause they had "acted less as children
than as parasites while in making his
liberal provision for his adopted
daughter, he did so "in loving remem-
brarce of her filiaI devotion to me
while a resident in my household for
over seven years last past, for her sis
terly relations for six of the said years
with my daughter. Dorothy, and in
consideration of her having, At my re-
quest, refrained from pursuing her
musical career, in order to devote her
self to my care and welfare during
my old age" Anticipating the action
which his children now have taken.
Mr. Benjamin also executed an aida
Wit to the effect that he was in fpll
possession of his faculties wher ne
made his will and the provisions Of it
represented his wishes.
Mr.. Benjamin left to Miss Anna
Bolchi Benjamin 100000 in cash, pic
lures, library and personal effects, jew
ciry, piano and piauola in his residence
at 270 West Seventy-third Street. To
his widow, Mrs. Ida L. Benjamin, he
left the residue OF his estate in trust,
providing that upon her death it was
TO 60 TO his adopted daughter. Mrs.
Benjamin, who was a patient in a
sanatorium at Goshen, n. Y, died about
year after her husband, SO that now
Miss Anna Bolchi Benjamin is the
principal legatee. The estate has been
estimated at S500,000.
Miss Bolchi had been goxerness in
the family of William Evarts Benia-
min, brother of Park Benjamin. be-
fore her adoption in 1919 in Wilkes
Barre, Pa. She is said to be about
forty years old. The adoption was
opposed by the Benjamin family at the
time and was the cause of the estrange-
ment between Mr. Benjamin and his
sons and daughters.
