Elder Jaffray Left Manhattan Realty and Other Property in 1892 Valued at Close to Million. That it Is possible for an $800,000 equity in New York real estate to shrink to a few paltry thousands was shown today by the filing of the transfer tax ap- i praiscr's report on the estate of Howard S.

Jaffray, sou of the one-time famous Broadway merchant prince, Edward Jaffray. The latter died in 1892 and left his children the business of Edward S. Jaffray at 350-352 Broadway, and a lot of valuable Manhattan real estate. Howard died on December 20 last and all that his estate amounts to Is $4,896.77. Appraiser -Murphy makes the report for the State Transfer Tax Appraiser's office and the papers disclose the cause of tho great shrinkage in an estate, that was worth probably more than a million when the founder of the Jnil'ray concern died.

"Litigation" and "mismanagement" are tho words used to show how the shrinkage was caused. Appraiser Murphy reports that Howard's estate goes to his I widow, Emma H. Jaffray, of 102 Frospeot I Park West, as his sole beneficiary. When the elder Jaffray died the estate owned not only the Broadway property I In which the concern carried on a huge business in notions, but also the premises ut 109, 111, 113 and 115 Leonard street. 2 and 3 Benson street and 127, 129 and 131 Blevcker street.

Three years after Jaff-ray's death the business went Into the hands of recelvors and was liquidated. Two interesting affidavits are made a part of Appraiser Murphy's report, They NAME POUNDS TODAY TO SUCCEED STEERS Brooklyn Aldermen Meet 3 to Choose a Borough President. at NO OPPOSITION TO POUNDS.

loan; time before the Brooklyn system is la I operation. The Public Service Commission haa not yet completed its lnltinl atndlea of the tunnels from lower Manhattan to Brooklyn, and the date of advertising a contract for these biHT tubes is months away. The tnnnels from Manhuttftn to Brooklyn cannot be completed In less than four years. Although the Public Service Conimis-rlon has the largest stall! ever employed iu auy such undertaking at work upon the subway plans, the work Is dragging, as is showu by the foregoing. It was pointed out today for the commission that twice since the signing of the subway contracts their requirements had exhausted the Statu Civil Service list of draughtsmen.

The commission Is pushing the preliminary wurk on the Eastern Parkway line and the Flatbush avenue line, but has not progressed far with the plans for the Fourteenth street-Eastern District subway and tunnel. It Is conceded that the tunnels, two downtown and one in the Eastern District cunnot be built within less than four years and that the Brooklyn system will be crippled and Incompleted until they are built. This argument is being urged today as a reason why the commission 1 should rush work on these parts of tho system and let them for building in advance of other sections which will tnke less time to build and whii.h are about ready to be advertised by the commission. Consents Mot Yet Obtained for Third- Tracking of Lines. In addition to these elements of delay, the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company has! not yet acquired from the property own- am nlnnir Fnltnn street, fvi- tie avenue above Broadway.

Jamaica avenue and Liberty avenue the necessary consents for the third tracking of the company's extensive elevated system. The company expects to have this situation cleared up within two or three months. The hope of the railroad officials Is that sufficient consents will be secured to validate these lines, but it is no secret today that the consents have not yet been obtained. If these consents are not obtained the entire matter will have to be thrashed out before commissioners appointed by' the Appellate Dlvlslou of the Supreme) Court. For the B.

R. T. It was explained to-1 day that the steel cars could not be or- i dered because the formal consent of the i Bridge Department to the type of car to1 be used has not yet been given. It took i some time for the railroad company to draw up. after the contracts were signed, i the exact specifications of the ten-foot wide steel car.

it took some time for the commission to approve this type of! car. Then the matter was referred to I the Bridge Department to find out what! it would cost to make the changes on the Manhattan and Williamsburg bridges necessitated by the use of the wider car. This has not yet been determined by thu Bridge Department. I Red Tape Cause of Many Delays, These delays and others have vexed the officials of the B. T.

Extension of Time Aked for Construction of Foundation for Central Library Building-at Park Plaza. The work on the foundations tor the new Central Library Building on the Prospect Park Ploisa Is several month behind time, and the contractor, Charles Meads, president of the firm of Charles Meads Co. of I5 Broadwsy. Manhattan, said this afternoon that this its; principally due to the "unreasonable interpretation of the contract by the city's architect," and that litigation over the cost was sure to result. Tho architect for the new Centmi Library Building is Raymond F.

AJmlrail, who was selected during the administration of Borouch President Bird S. Coler. Effons were made yesterday and todaj to reach Mr. AlmlralL but without success. Of what the alleged "unreasonable Interpretation" consisted, Mr.

Meads w.uu not say, becanse. as he explained, fie was not In a position to talk inst now in vie' of the contemplated lawsuit. "We have spent oa that rontract op July 1 the sum of $148,000." he said, "a.Ti all we nave receives from the cfty is $08,000, which means that we have about $80,000 invested In that Job. I don't thlDlc any contractor fn Xew York City would have cone any further than that, and cs tWnrs are now, I don't believe that we should spend much more money on the job until we get some different understanding of the amount of work we are expected to do under the contract. Thte whole delay is clearly One to the unreasonable Interpretation of the contract by the city's architect.

That is all I want to say at present." The delay in laying the fosttdatioBs was blamed by the borough antboritie as promptly as he might have. Another reason for delay, they said, was thr-jt there had been some difference of opinion between the public engineers and the i contractor over the best methods rhorlng np the sides of the excavation. One of the difficulties of the job has been the prevention of slides next to th reservoir. Members of the board1 of trustees of th Public Library are also getting impatient over the delay in the building of taj foundations. One member of the special committee, appointed to follow up tie construction of the new building, whicn Is being buitt by the city undr the i ui me I said today that in his opinion It was be- cause the foundations were not ready that the Board of Estimate turned down the request for $700,000 this year for thn erection of a wing of the new building.

Will Take Three or Fonr Months to Complete Work. Although the contract for the construction of the foundations for the new central library building expired last March, the work will not be completed for another three or four months, according to the estimate of E. S. White engineer In charge of the Department of Public Buildings of Brooklyn. A three-months extension of time his been granted to the contractors by the borough authorities, but as that periol YnireH nn 9.

nnnlh.p avtonalnn of four months ba's been asked for by Charles Meads Co. the contractors. ThlB new extension of time has not yet been granted officially, although it was salt today at the office of tho contracting firm that the request bad been verbally complied with. A clause In the contract, which was for $170,300, provided that in caBe the work should run over the stated period of 250 days, the city would have a right to deduct $50 a day from the contract price without any further notice. Whether this penalty will be enforced to anv extent or not, has not been decided.

Should the requested extension of time oe granted, this penalty clause would nt to been rilled up and the ljhn.iy building ted elsewhere. All th- ori.u-iimi difiicultics have now been overcome, however, and the tompUMion of the laying of the foundations is in sisht. No Money Available, for Work Not Now Under Wr.y.

McGraw, manager of the New York Giants, and Pitcher Brennan of the Philadelphia Club, for a period of five days as a result of a first fight following tho game in Philadelphia on MondJy, June 30. In uuition, Brennan Is fined 5100. The suspended men will be eligible for active duty again on Wednesday, July 9. President Lynch took this action after a personal investigation of tho affair.

GOLFER BEAT HILTON 'T. Stearns of New York" Put Out British Champion Today. La Boulie, France, July 3 Six American golfers entered for tho amateur golf championship of France, tho first round of which began this forenoon. The luck of tho draw brought two pairs of Americans together so that It was only possible for four of them to survlvo the preliminaries. W.

Helnrich Schmidt, of Worcester, who was the runner up in the recent British amateur championship, was drawn to meet J. B. Bishop, of Yale, while W. N. Rothschild, of Princeton, was paired with C.

W. Inslee. of the Oneida Community Club, N. Y. Among the other entries were H.

W. Stucklcn, former champion of Massacheu-setts; Harold H. Hilton, British amateur chamipnn uml former American champion; Edward Blackwell, the British player, who inad0 the best amateur score in tho British open this year; E. A. Lassen, the British amateur champion of 1908, and Peter Gannon, of Argentina, who was amateur champion of Francs In W.

Helnrich Schmidt has been practicing for a week over La Boullo links. The other American amateur entered is T. Stearns, of New York. The most notable performance of the day was that of Stearns against Hilton. Stearns started in nervously and lost the first hole, but drew level with Hilton's at the third He was two down at the turn, but won the tenth and was level ugain at the twelfth.

He took the had tor thn first, time at the thirteenth and increased it at the fourteenth. Alter losing the fifteenth he won at the seventeenth hole which he played perfectly In four. Hilton was somewhat erratic In Ilia long game, hut gave no chances after the third hole and Stearns won by his excellent play Stearns heat Hilton by 2 up and 1 to play. Inslee beat ItothEchild by 9 and 7, W. Heinrich Schmidt beat Bishop by 3 and 2, Ptucklen boat J.

C. Parish, of La Boulie. by 4 and 2, Lassen beat Karl of Worsecter. who arrived here last evening, by 2 holes. Complete mystery surrounds the identity of the T.

Stearns named In the above dispatch. There are two players of that name mentioned in the U. S. G. A.

Handicap list, one being J. N. Stearns. 2d, nf the Nassau Country Club, and the other S. K.

Stearns, of Tatnuk. Inquiry at the Nassau Country Club elicited the information that J. N. Stearns, 2d. is In this country and therefore could not have beaten the British Amateur champion In France.

A telephone message to the Amelrcan Golfer, the monthly golfing magazine edited by Walter J. Travis, broucht out the information that S. K. Stearns also was at home. The American Golfer knew of no T.

Stearns In the American golfing ranks. The Aassoelated Press insisted that Its cable dispatches named the connueror of Hilton plainly. It would seem that Amer-I ica has been harboring a real, simon-pure champion who has open waiting under cover to defeat the champion of champions. The. mysterious Stearns is surely puzzling the golfing world.
