SAYS GOULD erred in
HANDLING OF ESTATE
Referee in Eight Years
Litigation Files De-
cision Today

New York. Nov. II P)-James A.
O'Gorman, referee in the Gould ac-
counting case, today handed down
all opinion holding that the late
George Jay Gould had mismanaged
the $S2,0O0,000 estate of his father,
Jay Gould, railroad builder and IL
nancier.
Referee O'Gorman's decision was
In connection with litigation between
the Gould heirs which has lasted
since 1917. The referee directed
criticism mainly at George Jay
Gould's railroad investments.
Suit was brought eight years ago
by Howard, Edwin and the former
Helen Gould, now Mrs. Finley j.
Shepard brothers and sister OF
George Jay Gould, asking an ac-
counting from their brother, who
was an executor OF the estate. He
died May II, 1928. After his death
the Gould estate was made defend
ant In the action.
MY conclusion is that the invest =
mcnts in connection with the Gould
railroad system were not suitable or
proper for trust funds and cannot be
sustained as made In the exercise
OF a sound discretion. said Referee
O'Gorman In his findings.
The referee held that Frank
Gould, because he was minor dur
ing the first years that his brother
George was executor of the estate,
should not be held responsible as II
he actually were a trustee as charged
In a counter suit which charged
that the remaining Gould heirs as
co-trustces were in part responst-
BILE for the estate management. Mrs,
Shepard also was exonerated Of re-
spnnsihility.
Regarding Frank Gould's ac-
uuaintance with the affairs OF the
estate, the referee held that though
he was employed In the estate Of
fees. he was under age at the time,
his functions we're merely that OF a
clerk, and his endorsements we're not
10 he held In the licht Of the inde-
dnudent Judgment of trustee.
The referee recommended that
Edwin Gould's application to resign
as n trustee he granted.
Tho opinion must still come he
fore tho supreme court for ratlhca-
!!on and can be appealed by any OF
the liticants.

SILENT TRIBUTE ON ARNLS77CE DAY
COLD WINTER, HEAVY
SNOWFALL FORECAST
Meteorologist Also Pre-
diets 1926 Spring Will
Come Late

Washington, Nov. II Up - A
severe winter for the United States
with heavy snowfall and long con-
tinuing cold waves, broken by warm
periods OF brief duration, Is predict
cd by Herbert ]. Browne. widely
known ocean meteorologist.
An abnormal condition, he holds,
is pointed to by many factor. IN
Guiding the record breaking cold IN
many sections this fall. beginning
with the first SHOWS in the north
west on September Is. four days
before the Official close of summer,
the winter, he believes. will be fol-
lowed by late spring.
Primarily the predictions are
based upon a study OF ocean surface
temperatures as determined by the
amount OF suns heat reaching the
earth. This solar radiation for more
than three years has been below
normal. The present weather stu
alton, he says. indicates that the
world Ia facing a condition which
will interfere seriously with crops,
the cold fall and winter In prospect
| being but forerunners OF the next
two years. A serious situation de-
veloping in the southern hemisphere
in the crop year Of 1925 and 1927
and in the northern hemisphere In
1927 is predicted.
That he is supported by a num-
| ber OF prominent scientists Is
! demonstrated. Mr.. Browne contends,
! by the published views of DR.. Rut-
ger Serander, professor of Botany
in the Swedish National university
at Upsala. This scientist predicts
the return In Scandinavia and at
I least some sections OF northern
Europe Of the "fmbal winters" that
is, three winters without interven-
ing summers, to the extent at least
OF n condition disastrous TO the
| crops of northern Europe.

DR.. Cans recently quoted Mr.
Browne as mentioning him among
other Europeans, "as supporting Mr.
Brownies forecast that the veal
1926 would be like 1916. The year
without q summer" but Mr.
Browne today said he had only
quoted DR.. Cans as supporting the
views OF DR.. Serander.
AS for 1916. when ice formed in

1926 will see a return OF approx
mately these conditions, not neces-
sarily with continued cold. but with
sharp cold spells and other condi-
tons at intervals which will mean
great damage to crops.

Mr.. Browne says, support his view
the sun, which is described by the
Smithsonian institution and others
as a variable star, Is for some un-
known reason in a period of low

tTOyersy.

Washington, Nov. II Pl-After
another long wrangle between coun-
sci, the court-martial trying Colonel
William Mitchell today authorized
the defense to proceed with its plan
Of bringing into evidence virtually
all phases of the air controversy.
The flow Of defense testimony was
interrupted only long enough 10
permit the court to near both sides
and to retire for brief consulta-
ton behind closed doors. Then new
subpoenas were issued for 36 persons
residing outside OF Washington, all
summoned by Colonel Mitchell in an
effort to prove the accusation against
conduct Of the government air serv-
ices, which led to his trial.
The court acted after its law mem
bers, Colonel Blanton Winship, asked
the defense counsel his reason for
calling so many witnesses from dis
tant places.
To Prove Assertions.
I'VE want these witnesses TO prove
the truth of what Colonel Mitchell
has said about the national defense" ="
replied Representative Frank K,
Reed, Mitchell's attorney.
Colonel Winship asked II It was
not an appropriate time to decide
whether the evidence was being Of
fered in "extcnuation, mitigation, or
for defense of the accused"
For the defense, To prove the
truth" Mr.. Reid answered.
Colonel Sherman Moreland, IN
charge of the prosecution, said 1t
was his contention that the evidence
was admissible only in entcnuatioD
or mitigation, and mot as a defense.
viii Pay If Necessary.
"If the prosecution or the court
refuses TO summon the witnesses we
need" replied Mr.. Reid, we will
bring them here at our own eX-
pense.'
The court retired to its private
chambers, and decided quickly to is
sue the subpoenas. Those summoned
had been named in list submitted
by Mitchell several days ago.
The first witness questioned today
was Major Gerald Brandt, an air
service officer now attached TO the
supply and construction branch OF
the general staff. Ask-d by Mr.. Red
If he was qualified by experience Tor
duty in the construction branch ne
replied negatively, adding that he
had been active in flying work.
Major Brandt said he was sent 10

and navy maneuvers. and was con-
fident that no attacking forces could
