NAPLES CASE IS AIRED
Mayor Present When Property Own CT Objects To Statement of Archi- tect He Could Have Avoided Hart Street Dispute.

A statement by Architect D. K. Perry at a conference in the build ing department this afternoon that B. A. Hawley and other remon- strants could have avoided the Hart street building dispute by purchas- Ing the Naples site, brought an in dignant reply from Hawley, which moved Mayor Gardner C. Weld, who kept at the meeting.
 You're not the chairman of this meeting" Mir. Hawley shot back at Architect Perry after the latter's statement had been made. T re- sent that remark. We don't have to spend our money buying proper ty to protect our rights, I'll have you understand"
 Well have found Ii necessary 10 do so in the past" the architect answered.
 You're out of order anyway" Mir Hawley added to the discussion.
 At this point Mayor Weld, attend ing his first meeting of a municipal board since his inauguration, rose and asked Building Inspector F.. !. Hennessy to assume charge Of the meeting, meanwhile asking the par ticipants In repartee to assist in pre- serving order at the meeting.
 Inspector Hennessy asked the re- monstrants to suggest where changes might be made. Charles B. Parsons, who with Mir. Hawley. opposed the present Naples house on the ground that tt is designed for two families although in one-famiy district, re- piled: I'm no architect, I'm sorry to say"
 If one family lives in the house its a one-family house, isn't t?" Mir. Perry asked.
 Attorneys for both parties agreed that this was not the determining factor, explaining dozen families might live in house designed for one family and be within the law. whereas one family living in a dwelling designed for three would put the house outside the pale of law
 Mayor Weld asked Inspector Hen messy If any plan had yet been sub mitted to him that he regards as properly a one-family house.

Mrs. Ida Laubenhermer. "A years old. was found dead in her bed at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Lillian M. Freeman of bS City ave- nue, this morning at 2 o'clock. Death WAS due to heart failure brought on by old age, in the flnd- ings of Medical Examiner John J. Purney.
 She had been in excellent health and yesterday she was out of doors for some time. She entertained company during the day, and it is believed that she over-exerted her self. At about II o'clock last night she retired for the night in ap- parent good health.
 Mrs. Laubenhermer was the widow of Philip Laubenhermer and was a resident of Brooklyn. N. r., until she came 10 live with her daughter in this city at the death of her husband. Surviving her be- sides Mrs. Freeman are Mrs. Nir- ginia Middlestend and Mrs. Pearl Rogers, daughters; Forest Edwin and Louis Laubenhermer, sons; Miss Emma Nevins, q sister, and George and Fred Nevins brothers. With the exception of Mrs. Free man, all are residents of Brooklyn.
 Funeral arrangements in charge of E. C. Porter Sons are incom- plete. It is expected that the body will be taken to Brooklyn for burial.
 While preparing the Sunday noon meal in anticipation of q visit from relatives in Bridgeport, Mrs. Fred erica Linn, 6i years old, died sud- denly in the kitchen of her home at v Williams street yesterday. Medi- cal Examiner John J. Purney viewed the body and decided that death vas due to stomach trouble.
 She was born in Europe and came 10 this city at an early age. She
