In the will itself a legacy of $5,000 was given my friend Charles B.

Coates," but a codicil, dated September 21, 1909, raised the bequest to Coates to $7.000. at the same time cutting down the gifts to some of relatives to the amount of $3,000 altogether. John Linther, nephew, had been given $2,000, which was reduced to $1,000. and Laura Lemmers, a niece, had her legacy cut from $3,000 to $1,000. Mrs.

DeBrauwere died late in September, 1909, and October 19, in accordance with the on, provisions of the will, Coates assumed the duties of executor and took full charge of the property. The will also provided that $2,000 should he given to the Home for the Aged of the Little Sisters of the Poor at Eighth avenue and Sixteenth street: $1.000 to the Roman Catholic Church of St. Saviour at the same address, and $1,000 to St. Brendan's R. C.

Church at Avenue and East Tenth street, Flatbush. George Silkworth of 461 Eighth street was given $200 to distribute among the poor, as he saw fit. There were also a large number of specific bequests to relatives and friends, all of which were paid out of the estate. The residue was to be divided in a certain proportions among the relatives of Mrs. DeBrauwere and her husband.

It is these residuary bequests that have not been paid in full. Two sisters of Mrs. DeBrauwere, living in Albany, were $4.793.30 each. They are Mrs. Elizabeth Suyder and Katherine Linter.

of Mrs. Lintper, John Lintner, lives at 153 Washington avenue, Brooklyn. Three nephews of Mr. DeBrauwere, who live in Cincinnati, Ohio, were to receive $747.25. They are Edward, Albert and Maurice Lemmers.

Two relatives of her husband. who were made residuary legatees, live in Philadelphia. They are Mrs. Leonard Bailey, who has a claim on Coates for $1,120.20. and Roy Richards, who should get $920.69.

Balance of $3,545 Due Niece at: Albany. Another, Christina was niece to of get Ernst, a Mrs. lives specific De at legacy Brauwere, Albany, of of which she has been paid all but $3,545. Mrs. Idalie Godderis, who has a claim for $2.241.38 lives at Chicago, and Mrs.

Julit Strybos, a of the restaurant keeper, lives in the Bronx. She has a claim for $2.241.38. One share in the estate, worth $1.741.38, was payable to Louis De Brauwere, nephew of the husband, but a judgment against him for $4,171.53 has been obtained by his wife, Alice De Brauwere, so that the money is payable to Patrick H. Quinn, former Sheriff of 1. Kings County.

The judgment against Louis De Brauwere is famous in legal circles, because it was the first ever obtained by a wife against her husband for money she bad spent to support herself. Edward DeBrauwere, the husband of testatrix, was one of the former employes at the old Delmonico restaurant, and later er started in business himself at 42 Broadway. He was believed to have made a large fortune. He married late in life, and when he died. about seven years ago, he left all his property to his widow.

She. in turn, distributed the residue of her estate about equally between her relatives and those of her husband. The relatives always had believed that the property would emount to much more than it did. but it is said that Mr. DeBrauwere lost some of his fortune before he died, although nothing certain is known about that.

Alonzo G. McLaughlin. who acted 48 attorney for Coates in the accounting proceedings, said today that he had not seen Coates since last summer. "He may have a very good reason for being away, however," added McLaughlin. "and you must remember that the order for his arrest was an ex-parte affair, signed without his side being heard.

The relatives may be unduly excited about his absence, as I know of lots of law suits pending for a much longer time than this has been." The house at 496 Mansfield place was today closed. and the neighbors sali that the occupants had left only yesterday for Florida, It is a detached building of good outward appearance. Coates himself, the neighbors said, has not been seen about the premises for the past six months. TERMINAL TO OPEN Greatest Railroad Station in the World. Rebuilt for the third time in forty years, the Grand Central terminal station of the New York Central lines.

in Manhattan, will be thrown open to the traveling public at midnight tonight, and the numerous woes that commuters have had to suffer in the last halt dozen years will be only memories. With the completion of this station, New York will have the largest railway terminal in the world. One hundred million people, it. is estimated, will be able to use the station in Forty-second street in the course of a year. The terminal occupies -six acres.

extending from Forty -second to Fiftieth streets. between Lexington and led.son avenues. The two-track-level system--one level for express trains, the other for suburban service--is the most important feature, and 200 trains, or more than three a minutes, and 70.000 passengers can be taken care of in an hour. The station buildingu is 680 feet long. 200 feet wide and 115 feet in height above the street.

Below the surface the station measures 745 feet in length, 480 in width and goes down into the earth to tire depth of 45 feet. The concourse 1s 120 feet wide and 200 feet in width. To obtain the land for the present site 1.50 buildings of all kinds had 1.0 be razed-dwellings, hospitals, churches and the old station. Some idea of the cost of this great improvement may be formed from the fact that the real estate values Involved in the land used has reached the enormous tote! of $31.606,000, and experts estimate that the total cost of the terminal, when entirely completed, will be sot far from $180,000,000. AS CARPENTER, THIEF ROBS DOCTOR'S HOME Dr.

J. Edwards Midgley of Dean Street Latest Victim of Slick Crook. GOT PURSE AND OTHER LOOT. Believed to Be Same Man Who Robbed Homes of Mr. Carlin and Miss Kirkman.

Another burglary, believed to have been committed by the same smooth young man who, posing as a painter, got away with $300 worth of jewelry from the home of Miss Sarah Kirkman, on Clinton avenue, became known today. This time the young man, posing as carpenter who was sent to fix a windowsash in the home of Dr. J. Edward ley at 1125 Dean street, opposite the Union League Club, got away with a purse containing $12 and a bundle of loot, the value of which Dr. Midgley has been unable to learn as yet.

AL 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon the front door bell rang, and when the maid opened the door she found an athletic young man who said he bad been sent by a carpenter to put In 8 new window rope. Dr. Midgley was busy in his office when he was informed of the arrival of the carpenter, and told the maid that he didn't have time to bother then, so the man would have to come back another time. The carpenter was insistent, and said that it would be inconvenient for him to come back again, as he bad jobs that would take up all of his time for several days. Finally, Dr.

Midgley told the maid to take the carpenter up to the third floor and show him what was to be done. So that a stranger would not be left alone on the third floor with free access, Mrs. Holsten, the doctor's motherin-law, sat in the room while he worked. This apparently annoyed the carpenter, for as they see things now, he used several pretexts to get her out of the room. When the man had finished taking apart the sash and bad removed the broken rope, he said he would have to go to the kitchen to get a hatchet to cut the new rope he was to put in.

When he got to the second floor he ran into the doctor, who asked him where be was going. "I have to go to the kitchen to cut this rope. didn't bring a knife." "You need not bother," said the doetor, "I have a large pair of sheers in my desk. Wait just a moment. 1'11 save you the trouble of going all the way down stairs." With this Dr.

Midgley got the sheers and cut the piece, and went back to his desk, where he had been busily engaged writing letters. The man was gone from the third floor where he was under the eye of Mrs. Holsten between five and ten minutes. This apparently WaS the opportunity the man wanted, for. when he had finished the work.

Dr. Midgley happened upstairs in time to see him wrapping up bundle. At first he was suspicious, but. when his eyes rested on A putty knife sticking out of the bundle. his SUSpicions were allayed.

He let the man depart without saying anything to him. Wednesday morning the doctor's sister. Miss Emma Midgley, came rushing into the doctor's office, erying that her purse was missing. Investigation proved that it was, indeed, gone. Then the household realized that they had been duped by the carpenter.

The real carpenter was called by 'phone and said that he bad not sent a man to the house. The police of the Bergen street station were notified. and Detective Harry States was sent around to investigate the robbery. According to Dr. Midgley, he asked the detective to notify the newspapers of the affair, as he thought it was his duty to warn the public that such a man was about.

He said that, it the detective did not. care to do so, he would do it. instead. Dr. Midgley waited in vain for the fact of the robbery to become known.

The police, thinks the doctor, are trying to cover up the robberies that have 00- curred in the Bedford section of late. It is a fact that nothing will be given out tions. They are making every effort to concerning burglaries at the police stakeep robberies secret. Dr. Midgley was able to give a good description of the man.

He said that the man was apparently a Norwegian, about 45 years old, was about 5 feet, 10 inches tall. of athletic build, quick in his movements. a smooth talker. wore a gray suit and overcoat and had light hair and blue or gray eyes. The doctor is unable to conjecture how the man learned that a carpenter was needed.

unless it is explained by the fact that when the window rope was broken the loose ends were visible from the street. CAPT. J. H. WINCHESTER DEAD.

THE SANDERSON LETTER. Editor Brooklyn Dally Eagle: To many of us who read Mrs. Sanderson's letter in The Brooklyn Daily Eagle last night, her reply to your editorial seemed dignified, impersonal and quite 1 to the point. It was, therefore, with much regret that we observed the personal element introduced into the reply to her letter. Since this was done, and a statement was made as to the views held by ber parents, the friends of the late Francis Eames feel it to be only due to his daughter, Mrs.

Sanderson, and to his own memory to state that during his lifetime there was no more that ardent advocate of woman suffrage he, and his daughter had his cordial support in her suttrage work. Very truly yours, ETHEL E. DREIER. February 1, 1913. BUFFALO GETS ELI W.

Weaver's friends expected that he would accept offer of the Buffalo Chamber of Commerce, but many who known the work he has been doing voluntarily for the students and graduates of the Boys High School and of the Brooklyn Evening High School for Men will be disappointed that he could not have been retained for a similar position in this city, The Board of Estimate two years ago refused to grant an appropriation for the creation of a vocation bureau, of which Eli W.

Mr. Weaver was one of the first in this country to see the necessity for vocational guidance of the bigh school boys especially. He began ten years ago to place boys an ou farms and elsewhere during the summer vacation.

and he has developed that scheme, looking after boys who left school. but who were misplaced; finding employment for boys for which they were best adapted; raising the pay in many cases. by showing employers that it would be to their advantage to pay higher wages and get better help. He organized in the High School Teachers Association a committee on student aid, and was chairman of a committee of men and women who gave their time to the work. Mr.

Weaver is an instructor in mathematics at the Boys High School.

Quartermaster Burchell Jumps In to Rescue, and Other Men Drag Them Up From the Icy Water. Several hundred persons were thrown Into a panic today at the Star Line pier, foot of Seventeenth street and the North River, Manhattan, when A handsome, well-dressed woman screamed and plunged off the pier into the water.

Quartermater John Burchell, who was about to board the Cymric, plunged off the pier after the woman, He was clothed in 8 heavy sweater, top boots and heavy sailor's suit. He caught hold of the woman and held her head above water. As he struggled in the icy water, Willlam Walters, a pier hand, called to Mark Doyle, Tom Brunswick and Nick Lynch, also pier hands. With a rope tier around his waist, Walters was let down the side of the pier by his feet, his fellow workers forming a human chain, while the voyagers and friends on the pier stood and watched breathlessly. Brunswick and the woman were slowly bauled back to the pier, anl then the pier hands pulled Walters back to safety.

Cheer after cheer was given for the brave young quartermaster and the pier hands who made possible the rescue. The woman was Mrs. Agnes Walsh, 39 years old, wife of a wealthy butcher of Philadelphia, who was booked to, leave on the Cymric for Belfast, Ireland. Her husband and three children were on the pier to see her off. She had been noticed acting rather strangely, but it was ont until she was rescued from the water and attended by physicians that her remarkable story, told by the husband, came out.

According to his story, fortune tellers are responsible for her mental condition. He declared that a fortune teller told hie wife that there was to be a great fire in Ireland. Mra. Walsh suffered the hallucination that the two factions, one for Home Rule and one opposed, were going to burn up Ireland, and she insisted upon going back to protect them. Her husband, thinking this might restore her mental balance, agreed, and the woman was to leave on the Cymric today.

After being treated, however, by Dr. Fleming, of the ship, she was moved to Bellevue Hospital for treatment for her mental condition. THE SYMPHONY CONCERT. Ysaye, Violinist, and Orchestra in a Strong Programme, At the Symphony Society concert yesterday at Aeolian Hall the conductor, Walter Damrosch, made his programme very strong, in order to cause it to speak eloquently outside of the powerful Ysaye violin element in it. and he succeeded perfectly.

Ysaye played the big part in the Viotti with orchestra, in the opening Few violinists have his tone, his glancing brilliancy or his inner radiance in the matter of quality. He was yesterday all things that go to make a master in interpretation. Violin virtuosi, watching to pounce on some weak point, declared that he had made some "slips." The Concerto has a sweet and serious melody in the first movement, "Allegro," and in the second, it has long part for violin alone, with swift messages and deliberate ones, and there is a close of singular beauty and repose, in low-breathed tone. The last movement had a remarkable display of swift playing. Ysaye was recalled again and again.

The orchestra gave the "Symphony Fantastique," by Berlioz. "Reveries and formed the first division. the "Reveries" were delightful, the first having a soprano voice effect of much sweetness. Variety was effected by an odd orchestration, in different moods; there were tiny quips from the strings, hardly heard against wood-wind melodies, constant surprises in orchestration and in change of theme, besides odd combinations of instruments, all of which made the "Reveries" unmatched for odd charm and interest. The "Passions" portion was broad and big; at times there was a inad, hopeless death-message, an expression of fury, or else, loss and despair.

The master mind of Berlioz was never better revealed. The "Ball Scene" Was gay and individual and the "Scenes in the Fields" a strong contrast. The orchestra played marvelously in this and in the dreadful realism of the "March to the Scaffold." where demoniacal music brings up the scene vividly. "The Dream in the Witches Sabbath Night." with its church bells, now soft, now loud. swelling and sinking, the weird clamor and hellish revelry, made pulses beat fast.

Ysaye played Mendelssohn's "Concerto in Minor' later. The Allegro Molto Appassionato was superbly delivered. The lovely Andante the strong Finale movements were interpreted with sympathy. REWARDS FOR THE FAITHFUL. Two Twenty-third A.

D. Democrats Get $1,200 Places. The Twenty-third Assembly District Democratic organization bas secured two appointments, according to the glad tidings spread by friends of James Monahan, the leader of the district, today.
