HUSBAND HID CHILDREN
 FROM HIS SECOND WIFE
Tells Court She Can't Say Where Disinherited Trio Are. Because
 He Was Secretive.

New York. April 7-so secretlve was Harry B. Cantor. druggist, who died on March 27, regarding de- tails of his first marriage, that now his widow. Mrs. Eva E. Cantor. Of 221 West Eighty second street. who vas hls second wife, Is unable to give any information to the surro- gates court as to the whereabouts of MT. Cantor's three children,
 Mr. Cantor, whose place of bust ness was at 2279 Broadway. made his widow sole logatce and executrix, with no provision for the young children of his first marriage. It will be necessary. however, to serve them with citations in probate proceed ings. Surrogate Foley therefore signed an order yesterday to serve them by publication.
 Mrs. Cantor said in an affidavit she married the testator in 1914, but in the 12 years they lived together he told her little about his children. ITO the best of my recollection, " said Mrs. Cantor, the names he gave were Catherine, eight years old; Tessie. six, and a third daugh- ter whose age at the time was four years. During our married life my husband refused to answer questions I put to him about the children"

Calls Police to Remove
 Kittens From Veranda

Most people associate the police department with things severe, ar- rests, criminal Investigations, etc, but there are times when the milk of human kindness emarates from the portals of headquarters on Commercial street and the ma iority of persons when in trouble or beset with anxiety, turn to the blue coated officers for help.
 So it was today when Lieutenant Samuel Bamforth answered a tele- phone call to hear q woman's agt- tated voice complain that a com- mon alley cat with brood of five newly born kittens, had inhabited her veranda. Mrs. Barney of Il Spring street was the complainant and she stated that she had no place for the family and though she had fed them, she could not keep them. She wanted the police to come and get them.
 Lieutenant Bamforth told Mrs. Barney that the matter would be taken care of and he got in touch with the Humane society. Investi- gators were placed on the case and Tabby and her brood will be as- sured of a home until her rightful owner can be found,

WOULD PROVIDE,
 FOR EMERGENCY
Proposal to Let President Take
 Over Mines

ashington, April 7--Represent- ative Mead, democrat, of New York, told the house commerce committee yesterday that he favored clothing the president with power to fake over coal mines and operate them in times of national emergency.
 He opposed creation of another government agency 10 control coal prices and distribution, such as Rep rcscntative Jacobstoin, democrat New York. advocated q few days ago. NIr. Mead would invoke the present powers of the federal trade commission, interstate commerce commission and labor department as counscllcrs 10 the president. He Ncn- turcd the opinion that q national emergency would piobahly never arise if each of tho three agencies carried out its part in the program.
 In time of strike, under the Mead plan, the interstate commerce. com mission would divert available sub sIiutcs to the market of greatest need; the conciliation bureau of the labor department would have an thority to mediate and bring oppos- ing sides @t ogcthcr and the trade commission would compile and dis tribute facts relating tO mining costs and prices and give publicity to all factors entering into the coal situation at the particular time.

HEIRS NOW MOVE
 ID GUST TRUSTEES
MiSmanaSement Is Charged in
 the Letter Estate Case

Chicago, April ' U) Heirs of the late Levi z. Letter, dissatisfied with the management of his estate by his son, Joseph and William J. Warr, two of four trustees, opened the books of the Zieglcr Coal com pany in court yesterday in pursuit of proofs which will support their plea for the busting Of the two.
 Most of the first three weeks of the trial Were spent In probing the conduct Of Wyoming ranches which are a part of the Letter estate. Yesterday, the plaintiffs presenta- tion of evidence delved into the administration of southern Illinois coal mines which the founder of the Letter fortune left to his heirs, but which under q provision of the will, were sold by the estate to Joseph two years ago.
 Mir. Warr was on the stand yes- terday. and complainant counsel kept him buried all day in the ledgers of the Ziegler company ex- plaining transactions of the coal mines during their operation by the estate, which they call ques- 'tionable.
 The principle line of evidence de- veloped from MT. Warr's testimony dwelt upon the teasing by the Zieg- Ter company to the Bell {; Xoller Co. of 1900 acres of mining land. MT. W1rr. secretary or treasurer of the company from the time of its in- corporation 22 years ago. was unable to locate in the minutes any records of the making Of the lease in 1910 or it's renewals in 1912 and 1913, He was questioned, amid many bIcksrings by opposing counsel, as to why the minutes showed no au- thorization or approval of the leases, but the only reply evoked was that he couldn't say" why the proceed ings were not chronicled, and that the absence of records of the trans actions from the minutes was a sit- uation for which he himself was re- sponsible.
 Numerous other transactions shown in the coal company's ledgers Mir, Warr did not recall when ques- tioned about them by George A. Cooke. counsel for Lady Cynthia Mosloy, the Baroness of Ravensdalc, and Lady Alexandra Mctcalf
 These three support Levi Letters titled daughter, the Countess of Suf- folk and Berls, who is the principal complainant.

CITY INJUNCTION
 IN BUILDING ROW
Continued from First Page.)

10 10 foot line, but when his per init was granted found he had per- mission to go not nearer than five feet to the south line, Attorney Brady said. Realizing this would not permit the type of building desired, sidotti then made application for the return of his s16.5O fee. At this juncture in the case, Inspector Hennessy authorized him to go the south line, counsel for the defendant claimed.
 After Attorney Brady had intimat- ed that damages would be sought either from the inspector or the city, Judge Kirkham said: If the city Is liable for damages, the city will pay it."
 The corporation counsel admitted Inspector Hennossy made a mistake but said the architect was partly to blame as he should not have pre- pared plans of that type. and that the applicant for a permit is pre- sumed to know the laws.
 "The mere fact that q permit was given in violation of the law does not legali2e procedure and piling up of cumulative damages" Judge All ing remarked in granting the iniunc- ti6n.
 Discussing the inspectors action. the judge said: He is not only q step ahead of the city ordinances, but also a step ahead of the state statutes"
 Attorney Brady said damages would not be a few hundfed dollars. as Judge Kirkham had estimated, but would run into thousands.
