ARE SHY Pan-American Managimint Is Apparently Unwilling to Back Them Up in a Much Nedd Institution.

One Of the most serious rtrohTema with which the Pan-American Exposition officials are struggling, and upon which no headway is being made. Is the question of a bureau of Information and public comfort. The settlement of this momentous question has been delayed again and again, and despite the efforts to reach some agreement, nothing haa been accomplished. Although not announced officially. It is stated that Secretary JEaton of the Business Men's Central Council has conveyed the Information to the Exposition officials that the proposition of the Exposition for the business men to take charge of the bureau, is not satisfactory.

The trouble appears to be that the Exposition does not desire to become directly interested In such a project. The business men's associations were willing to undertake the work of establishing and maintaining the bureau, but were loth to assume any liabilities thereby. Unless the Exposition officials change their present position, the business men will let the project drop, so far as, they are concerned. NEED IS APPARENT. The need of a well organized bureau cannot be overestimated' in the effect it will have on the Exposition.

Every day letters are received asking for information, which should properly be furnished by such a bureau, and the number of communications Is Increas ing dally. As things now stand, no In formation of any great value can be given the applicants. The various private companies wnicn are establishing bureaus on their own account, and under the name "Pan- American." continue active, although he. ExpoSltlon( has sought to warn the people against them. What will be the attitude towards these room- ing companies remains to be deter mined.

Thus far the officials nave been content to issue warnings to the public, not from a dog-in-the-manger policy, but because of a suspicion that all is not right with them. EVIDENCE COLLECTED Evidence of the methods pursued by the companies is being collected, ana yesterday it developed that at least one of the companies Is acting In a manner warranting the Intervention of the It may be possible that the Exposition' officials will take steps to put the rooming companies out of business, and something of this sort will undoubtedly be done if the Exposition, finally comes to a decision to establish an official bureau of public comfort, Secretary Eaton of the Central Council of Business Men Bent the following communication to The Courier last night: "Complaints continue to come tot me of solicitors who are canvassing the city, securing rooms for Exposition visitors, and persuading householders to sign contracts on the representation that they are working for the Business Men's Association. "I want to announce that the Business Men's Associations have no men at such work, and it Is well for all who have rooms to let to fully understand the nature of any Contracts presented to them before signing them."

Miles' Pain Pills. use SHOES OR HEIRS OF LYDIA COX ViT ACCOUNTING Beneficiaries Under Will Afccr- the Exccu-i tors. Yesterday morning Attorney Simon acting for the heirs of Lydla Cox, filed "with Surrogate )Mar-cus a petition asking for an accounting on the part of the executors of the estate and making serious charges against Boyer Upper, Thomas Boyer and William Boyer, who were appointed executors of the will on March 1897. The estate. It is alleged, consists of personal and real property valued at between $100,000 and $200,000.

The petitioners, claiming to be beneficiaries under the will, allege that they have not received In full the bequests to which they are entitled. It is charged in the petition that the decree upon the first (accounting of the executors directed them to deposit $2,592.55 with the county treasurer, but the executors have failed to deposit the money or pay it to the legatees to whom It belonged. The petition then sets forth the proceedings begun in December. 1899. by Lydla Vlllars, niece, to punish the executors for con tempt and to compel them to make an additional accounting.

It is assert ed that the second account differed from the first, and that the executors claimed that they were unable to give an account correctly at first, because the funds had been embezzled by their first attorney. William Newbrook. EXECUTORS' NEGLIGENCE. This petition then charges that the embezzlement was made by Newbrook through the gross negligence of the executors in signing blank checks. without the payees or the amounts thereof being designated by them, and by grossly neglecting to pay any attention to the funds of the estate, and generally in falling to perform properly their duties as executors.

It Is charged In addition that the executors failed to sell the real estate, failed to file a proper accounting and "have in every respect wholly neglected the discharge of their duties as execu tors and have, negligently assumed to delegate the same the said New brook, without supervision on their part of any kind, or paying any atten tion whatsoever to the administration of said estate. The petition 'i "That, by reason of the facts herein before set forth, said executors have wasted and Improperly applied the money and assets in their hands be longing to said estate, and have Im providently managed and injured the property committed to their charge. and have been guilty of misconduct in the execution of their office, and are unfit for due execution thereof, and have also willfully and without cause refused and neglected to obey the directions' of the surrogate contained in said decree, upon the first accounting, above referred to, as well as the provisions of law relating to the discharge of their WAST DETAILED STATEMENT. In addition to asking for a general accounting the petition also asks that the executors "show in detail the dates and amounts- of the moneys alleged to have been embezzled by said William G. Newbrook and the manner of embezzlement thereof In each instance; also in detail all amounts with which said executors charged themselves In firat account, as well as other facts relating to, or throwing light upon said alleged embezzlements and every Item thereof." The petition also asks the executors to show cause why they should not be punished for contempt for disobeying the decree of the surrogate, why the letters testamentary should not be revoked, the executors required to turn over to their successors all moneys or property in their hands, and why they should not refund to the estate all commissions retained by them and be declared entitled to no commissions whatsoever as executors.

i Judge Marcus issued a citation to the executors calling upon them to appear in his court on February 11th, at which time some light may be thrown upon the case of William G. Newbrook, who created a sensation by disappearing from this city over a year ago after having, it is alleged, gambled away a large amount of trust funds that were in his hands.

It' was possible to keep the total cost down to $139.55, only because the attendants donated part of their services, because a large part of the material used was either donated or sold at special rates, and especially, because all but $3 worth of the labor used In fitting up the grounds was given free.

NEW YORK CITY. NO ONE RESPONSIBLE FOR GIRLS' DEATH COROXER WILSO.VS VERDICT BUCKINGHAM APArtMEXT HOUSE CATASTROPHE. IN Coroner Wilson rendered his verdict in the case of the two girls who were burned to death at the Buckingham apartment house. He finds that death was caused by suffo- f. cation, but holds no one responsible for the catastrophe.

The verdict follows: "Cause of death Incineration on the 13th day of January, 1901. in the Buckingham apartment house, located at the southeast corner of Allen and Mariner streets, in the city of Buffalo, while the said Clara Meier and Mary Spiesman were asleep In a room on the sixth floor. Although not shown on the plans of the building, said sixth floor was fitted up and used as bedrooms for I the servant girls employed in the building. "An expert investigation showed that the said bedrooms of the servant girls had no windows or other means of escaping Xrom the said bedrooms except by the stairway leading to the fifth "From the evidence I find that when the Are" broke out the said Clara Meier and Mary Spiesman were immediately and entirely cut off by flames from any means of escape." Coroner "Wilson; thinks this verdict Includes all that; is required of him In the case. He said to a reporter: "The law requires the coroner to ascertain the cause of death alone, and I do not see how I can render a verdict holding any person responsible for the death of the two girls."
