BURRIDGE SURROGATECONFIRMS (vital L. I. AUTO CLUB WILL LOVETT'S CHARGES STIR WASHINGTON HONOR ROLL HOSTS TO FILL EBBETS FIELD FOEHEH OF HOBLEY MAKE A HEW MOVE THE BALL CHARGES Finds Lawyer Guilty of Mismanaging Estate of Late Mary Caulfield. MUST PAY HEIRS NEAR $50,000 Ball, It Is Understood, Will Take an Appeal From Judge Ketcham'a Decision. Surrogate Herbert T.

Ksjtcham today confirmed the report of Referee James M. Gray, finding John Oscar Ball, a Manhattan attorney, guilty of mismanagement of the estate of the late Mary Caulfield, of which he is the trustee and executor, and directs an order to be entered by which Ball must "make good" to the Caulfield heirs, three lo number, nearly It not quite $50,000. Bull has an cilice at 52 Wall street and lives In Westchester County. He will appeal, It is said, from the decision of the Surrogate. Mary Caulfield was the widow of John Caulfield, who was wellknown as a friend and backer of John L.

Sullvan. He left a number of pieces of real estate and personal property worth. It is said, considerably over $100,000, to bis widow. Ball was the attorney for Mrs. Caulfield and he was made her executor and trustee.

She left the estate for the benefit of Thomas Joseph Caulfield, John A. Caulfield aud Annie M. Caulfield. The two brothers live at 70 Nelson street and the sister is being educated at Brentwood, L. I.

About a year ago a proceeding was brought by Lawyer Joseph A. Kennedy of 1S9 Montague street to secure an accounting from Ball, as trustee, in favor of the three heirs, Thomas, John and Annie. The claim was made that Ball had grossly mismanaged the estate; that ho had really "milked" it for bis own benefit, and Surrogate Ketcham appointed Lawyer Gray referee to take testimony, and United States Commissioner Richard Mott Ca-hoone was appointed as special guardian to represent Annie Caulfield, who Is a young girl. The report of the referee was filed about two month3 ngo, and it found Ball guilty of much that was charged aiuinst him. In his memorandums handed down In the three cases today the Surrogato denies the trustee commissions on the Income of the three trust funds and formally confirmed the three reports, one for each heir, save so far as there are certain clerical corrections to be made.

It will also be decreed, the Surrogato says, that the trustee personally repay to the three trusts two-thirds of the costs of the proceeding, amounting, It is said, to about $4,000, as the trustee's share of the expense. It Is claimed by Lawyer Kennedy that the estate of Annie is enhanced about $22,000 In cash, besides considerable In Income, and that each of the Caulfield brothers gain nearly $13,000 each by the decree ot the Surrogate. LAWYER WILSON SILENT. Won't Explain Why He Dropped Case Against Justice Scudder. Lawyer Robert H.

Wilson today declined to break his policy of silence on the question of why he withdrew his petition to have the Appellate Division review the recent decision by Supreme Court Justice Scudder iu which Wilson was charged with causing Buell G. Uavls, of Greenport, L. 1., to be put unjustly in Jail. Together with certain members of the Supreme Court and the Appellato Division, Lawyer Wilson was roundiy scored by Justice Scudder. A number of rumors of what is to be tho further development of the case have been in circulation, end when Mr.

Wilson was asked to make an explanation of his sudden withdrawal of his petition, in which he had said that If he was guilty of all that Justice Scudder had accused him of he ought be punished, ho repeated his former declarations that he would say nothing. "Does that mean that the case ends there?" he was asked. "I simply cannot say a word." There Is nothing I want to soy. The matter is dead lor the present, I have not a word to say." KNICKERBOCKER F. C.

DANCE. The second of a series of Informal summer dances was held last night at the Knickerbocker Field Club, Albemarle road and East Eighteenth street, Flatbush. A large number ot dancers were on the floor, and the function was a complete success. Summer dancing is an Innovation at the Knickerbocker, which Is being given a first trial this season. After the auspicious opening dance on June 12 and the repetition of that success last night Gustave Glrard, chairman of the entertainment committee of the club, was highly delighted.

Although a large number of the Knickerbocker set spend the entire summer out of town, It looks now as if summer dancing at the clubhouse has coine to stay. The chairman of the committee In charge of lest night's dance was Charles Woodbrldge. PERSONAL. TO whom It may concern Please take notlcs that David l.lttle, 847 st.

26-? Renew Fight to Secure the Membership Rolls of the Congress Club. APPLY TO JUSTICE SCUDDER. New Affidavits Carefully Avoid Any Reference to Coming Primary Fight Against Hobley, The fight of the members of the Congress Club against the Deputy Register and leader of his district is not to be stopped by a mere court decision. Today the antls went before Su preme Court Justice Scudder, on entirely new papers, and sgaln sought for a peremptory mandamus to compel the Hobley faction to give them an Inspection of the club's rolls. The new affidavits, however, carefully state that the Inspection Is needed to "develop the social Interest in the club" and refrain from Intimating that there Is a coming primary fight against Hobley.

Lawyer Thomas P. Peters represented the antls on this application, as he did on the other. Lawyer Milton Hertz Is associated with Lawyer Peters. The matter came before Justice Scudder on the return of an order, signed by Justice Kelly, directing the club's officials, named by the petitioner, to show cause why the desired Inspection shouldn't be ordered by a court mandate. As iu the first attempt, which was turned down by Justice Scudder, Paul Wlndels 8 the moving party and he hes with him William J.

Kelly, a Fourth Assembly District Republican, who Is alao active with the auti-Hoblcyites. Neither Mr. Wludals nor Mr. Kelly this time say that the purpose of tho application is to fight Hobley. It Is for an altogether different purpose.

Both Windels and Kelly wish to get the members together for social purposes and to Increase their In-tcrtest In the club. They made a demand upon tho president, Charles W. Philibar, and the secretary, Robert Cunen, and they say thut no attention bas been paid to their request. To show 'how entirely innocent Is the desire of the petltoner In his request Wlndels puts in a copy of his letter to President i'hlllpbar. It gives his motived as follows.

"I desire to use the list ot members for tiiese purposes: Tho cultivation of social Intercourse among the members, the promotion of good gjvernmeut by means of pure political methods, the encouragement of tho enrollment of Republican voters and thu advancement of the general Interests of the Republican party. 1 propose to accomplish these cuds by urging the members to attend the club meetings and by instituting measures and advocating policies In such meetings which may tend to promote the above objects, for which the corporation was organized, "I also wish to use the list of members for the purpose of preventing the affairs and prrpeny of the corporation from being used to further the private political of any member or group ot members, and to oppose tho election or re-election of incompetent oflicials, and to aid In tho election of omcials who will be faithful lu the best Interests ot the members aud who will administer the aflairs of the corporation, and control Its property In accordance with the purposes for which the corporation was or-ganizod. "In endeavoring to accomplish these results I shall work within the club and use knowledge ot Its membership for the purpose of inducing tho club at If? meetings, to adopt resolutions furthering the objtctj hereinbefore set forth, and to act as a unit in undertaking the accomplishment of the purposes for which It was incorporated." In spite of Lawyer Robert M. Johnson's vigorous protest against the motion Supremo Court Justice seemed inclined toward the petitioner's point of view, but be gave everybody until July 7 to put In briefs for and against the motion.

Spartina Srrttnn for of her Automobile Advertisement; SCENIC ARTIST, DIES ') Brooklyn Man Succumbs to Heart Disease at Albuquerque, New Mexico. STOOD AT TOP OF PROFESSION. Was Engaged on Big Contract for Panama Exposition When End Came. Word was received In Brooklyn today, that Walter W. Burrldge, one of the foremost scene painters of his time, bad been found dead In a hotel In the little city of Albuquerque, N.

yesterday. Death was attributed to heart disease superinduced by acute Indigestion. Mr. Bur-ridge had Just arrived in Albuquerque from the Grand Canyon, where he had been painting pictures for two months. He was ofi years old.

Walter Burrldge was a Brooklyulte, born and bred, and very well known as a painter of theatrical scenery. In 1903 he executed at the Academy ot Music the largest scene painting contract ever awarded to a single artist. 200,000 worth of scenery. Including eighty complete sets and 300 hanging pieces, were turned out uuder his supervision. The work was done for Henry W.

Savage, manager of the Castle Square Oepra Company. Its important feature was the preparation of special sets of scenery for each 07s of the operas In the Castle Square Opera Company's repretolre. One of the pieces he completed was the magnificent storm scene used In the first act of Verdi's "Othello." It was considered the piece de resistance of all the scenic effects ever produced at the Academy. Mr. Burridge had, at one time or another, been associated with all the prominent actors and actresses of this nun-try, among them Otis Skinnerfi Julia Arthur and Margaret Mather.

Father Proprietor of Old Brooklyn Inn Frequented by Actors. Mr. Burrldge's father, Henry, was the proprietor of the old Masons Arms Inn, on Myrtle avenue, which was noted In Its time as a resort for artists and actors. The leading lights ot both professions met there frequently and the boy learned to know them well. Young Burrldge had a magnificent soprano voice and sang as a choir boy in St.

Ann's Church, the Church of the Redeemer and St. Johu's Church, where he was the solo singer. His voice bade fair to connect him with the stage iu another capacity than that of scenic painter. As a boy Mr. Burridge helped produce the scenic waves at the old Park Theater, by doing stunts on his hands and knees under a layer of canvas.

The old theater carried with it many pleasing reminiscences for him. There he met Fred Chippendale and his wife. Later, at the Brooklyn Theater, which stood on the site of the present Eagle building, he was fortunate enough to attract the attention of Harley Merry, who was a grea scenic artist of his day. He-was apprenticed to Mr. Merry at the age of 13 and scored his flrBt success by painting a water fall that had to be gotten out during his master's absence.

Mr. Burrldge did most of his work In the West. Thirty-five years ego he painted many cycloramas. For the Philadelphia Centennial he painted "The Siege ot Paris" and supervised the reproduction of the well-known "Battle of Gettysburg." He also executed a Government commission in Hawaii. He was sent thore to paint a cycloramic picture of the great volcano, Kalauea.

which was part of the Government exhibit at the Chicago World's Fair. Had Been at Work on Important Contract for Panama Exposition. Hugo Gerber, manager of the Lee Lash Studios at 1476 Broadway, Manhattan, who knew Mr. Burrldge well, said today that he had received a telegram from the West confirming the news of the death of Mr. Burrldge.

"His wife was with him at the time," he said. "Mr. Burrldge had been working for us lately and had been sketching in the Grand Canyon. He was preparing some very important work there for the Panama Exposition, but I don't know the details of it. "We expected Mr.

Burrldge to return East In a short time. The telegram we received was from his wife. It did not state the cause of death. "Mr. Burridge had done much big work for Klaw Erlanger, but principally for Henry W.

Savage. One of the last pieces of work he did was painting the scenery for 'The Trail of the Lonesome Pine." He was one of the most prominent scenic painters In this country." JAILED FOR STAMP FORGERY. Court Makes Example of Man Con victed of Duplicating Certificates. Irving Grumet of 306 Hopkinson avenue. was sentenced to one year In the peni tentiary today by Justices Salmon, Rus sell and O'Keefe, sitting In the Court ot Special Sessions, for counterfeiting the premium stamps sold by Adam Shultz Son of 271 Grand street.

In sentencing the man. Justice Salmon said: "The court in finding Grumet guilty thinks that an example should be made nf him. In the minds of this court the defense has been guilty of a groBs perjury In presenting Its case." Grumet sold Mechanics Club stamps to traders, saying always that they were Merchants stamps, the purple stamps which Shultz redeem at their store. Tradesmen bought the stamps and gave them away as premiums. TROLLEY CAR HITS WAGON.

Driver of Vehicle Hurt, but Refuses Hospital Treatment. In a collision between a south-bound Flatbush avenue trolley car and grocery wagon at the comer of Flatbush and Snyder avenues, late yesterday afternoon, the driver of the wagon, George Schnor, 22 yqars old, of 1701 Foster avenue, was hurled to the street. Although he received a hard blow and was apparently cut and bruised about the head, he refused ny medical attention. For several moments after he struck on his head he lay as If stunned. The horse bolted down the avenue.

Policeman Demilto of the Snyder avenue station gave chase, and he managed to head off the horse and stop the runaway. MARSHALL PLAYS CHESS. (Special to The Eagle.) Victoria, B. June 28 Frank J.

ILLEGAL," SAYS ANDREWS. Herbert G. Andrews, of he I.oim Inland Automobile- (lull anil t'hnlrnmn of the Committee, mt the- elsrhf-ftiot one for mtreet enrm Im ample protection for the public, nnd outside Hint zone vehicular truffle should not be restricted, eieept when noeed lam lire violated, lie mij the ordlnnnee will be re-verned on niioenl. That the new eight-foot zone ordinance to regulate automobile and street car traffic will not stand the test of appeal to the higher courts and that the enforcement of the law will invite rather than relieve vehicular congestion, is the opinion of Herbert G. Andrews, vice president of the Long Island Automobile Club and chairman of the law committee.

Mr. Andrews Indorses the effort to further protect the public, but he believes that, having established the eight-foot zone, making that an Isle of safety for street car passengers, the law-makers cannot infringe further on the rights of private vehicles. The Long Island Automobile Club, which has a membership of 650 and operates 025 motor cars. Is alert to what It terms the unjustness of the new ordinance and, according to Mr. Andrews, the first police complaint against one of its members for alleged violation of the law will be appealed as a test case.

-Vir. Andrews believes that It "borders on the ridiculous that motorists must find ono Interpretation of the ordinance awaiting them in Brooklyn, a different me in Manhattan and the Bronx, and still another In Queens, with Richmond yet to be heard from." Mr. Andrews' Study of the New Law. Mr. Andrews' statement snys further: "As chairman of the law and legislative committee ot the Long island Autoinobilo 1 nave hau occasion to examine the new ordinance relative to speed regulation which took effect ou June 1.

The new provision embiaced in Section 2 of this ordinance, which provides that: 'In overtaking or meeting a street passenger car which has been stopped for the purpose of reeelviug or dischui gmng passengers, no such vehicle shall pass or approach within eight feet of the street car so long as the same is stopped and remains seems to have been misconstrued1 by the police as well as by certain of the city magistrates charged with 1 ne enforcement of the law, as reports -com to show that the alleged offenders nave violated the law. "It seems clear to me that the sole purpose of this ordinance was to protect pedestrians when about to board or aiisut from a street car and in the wisdom of our city fathers a space of eight feit around the ear was sullicient for their protection, leaving the remainder ot the street to vehicular traffic, so as nut to cau.e a congestion, and it would therefore seem to mo that wnere a conviction has been had uuder this section of the ordinance where It was not clearly proven that the vehicle, either a motor vehicle or otherwise, did approach within the eight-foot zone, tuat such conviction can, and will, be set aside ou appeal. X'he Intent the Law the Crux of the Situntion. "The statutory construction law under wh'ch our act iu passing upon or constru.ng our ordinances and statutes, whether local or State, looks to the Intention of the legislative body in enacting the law, and It is unrcasoua ble to believe that our City Fathers would adopt any oru. nance which would result In such congestion as must necessarily follow if the interpretation of the ordinance as has been given by somo of our magistrates, were to prevail.

"If my Interpretation of the law is correct, all vehicle drivel's may pass a street car without fear of arrest and conviction lor alleged violation of the ordinance, provided they keep at least eight feet om auy passenger car which has stopped, provided, however, that they drive at a speed not to exceed fifteen miles an hour. "It would seem to me that this matter is of so much importance that it should leccive the Immediate consideration ot our magistrates so that a universal interpretation of this ordinance may be found in all courts. This would result In the police officers of the city being Instructed by the police commissioner." STRAHL LODGE'S FESTIVAL. The annual summcrnight's festival of Jacob S. Strahl Lodge, No.

LeBas, a painter ot Patch-ogue, L. who had claimed that he had been improperly treated for a broken leg at the hospital In question nearly three years ago.

The verdict was brought In yesterday afternoon, after a deliberation of a little over an hour.

A set of questions as to the alleged negligence of each of the Ave doctors involved was submitted to the Jury by Justice Kelly of the Supreme Court, and to each of the questions the answer was In favor of the defendants.

C. LEDYARD MAY BE CALLED Otto H. Kahn, Maxwell Evarts and Other Wall Street Men Will Be Asked to Testify. Washington, June 26 Robert S. Lovett's charge that men impersonating members of Congress have been making demands upon Wall street financiers, bas stirred Congressional circles to the depths.

Lovett, chairman of the board of the Union Pacific Railroad, made such a charge before the Senate Lobby Investigating Committee last night, saying that men Impersonating representatives had claimed to be able to "grease the wheels in Washington" for the Union Pacific merger dissolution. While tho lobDy committee was In recess today, plans for following the trail Lovett disclosed were being taken up by members. Lewis Cass Ledyard. a New York attorney, who encouraged a "Congressman" over the telephone for two weeks and discovered that he was not a Congressman, probably will be summoned. Lovett told tho committee that Ledyard had strong circumstantial evidence as to whom the man was.

It Is probable that Otto H. Kahn, the banker; Maxwell Evarts, general counsel for the Southern Pacific, and other Wall Street men will be asked to testify. Lovett's testimony dealt with alleged efforts to force the railroad to employ Edward Lauterbach, a New York attorney, ho was claimed to have enough Influence with members of Congress to prevent agitation against the dissolution plan and prevent reopening of the money trust Inquiry. Lovett testified it was a "common tilling" for financial men to receive telephone calls from persons purporting to be Congressmen, and that many such calls had been received by different persons from a man who claimed to be Representative Riordan of New York. Mr.

Lovett testified further that Lauterbach, in his conversation with Otto H. Kahn, had referred to Representative Henry of Texas as one of the leaders ot the "radical element," who might agitate certain questions unless Lauterbach extended his influence. Lovett said he felt sure Henry had no connection whatever with Lauterbach. SLEEPWALKER INJURED. He Jumps Through a Window and Cuts His Leg.

The sleep-walking scene from Macbeth was outdone last night by Harry A. Glenn, an electrical contractor, 33 years old, of SI Prospect place, who rose from his bed in a lit ot somnambulism, dashed into the dining room, where he shook himself free from the restraining arm ot his wife and then dived head first through a pane of glass and fell to the CJUft. yard, a story below, with a loud cry ot "Robbers!" He was badly cut by tba glass. Shortly before nilduight last night Glenn sprang from bed under the firm delusion that the house was being robbed. His shouts of "Robbers! Thieves! Burglars!" aroused his wife, who followed him Into the dining room aud tried to quite him.

Glenn, however, broke away, and before his wife realized what had happened, he dived headlong through the window. Patrolman Louis Mellob, who was on fixed post at Prospect place aud Sixtn avenue, heard the cries and the shattering glass, and hurried to the house, where he found Glenn bleeding badly from a six-inch gash in his leg. While an ambulance was coming from Holy Family Hospitrl the policeman, aided by Mrs. Glenn, rigged up a tourniquet to stop the flow of blood. After Glenn had been treated ha went back to bed to finish his night's rest.
