MISCELLANEOUS. SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENTS. LIVELY ROW EXPECTED IIT CODE US HER TESTIMONY CATHOLICS ARE TO HAVE DEFIES RECTOR CRM mothers Psoneeir AS TO NAME OF FATHER Mrs. Henrietta McCue Finds Legal Technicalities in Her Suit for Property. ESTATE OF WILLIAM H.PENDER Baptismal Certificate, With Parents' Names Upon It, Is Thrown Out of Evidence.

The difficulty of proving one's parent age when father and mother are dead, is being experienced to-day by Mrs. Hen rietta McCue, a handsome young woman, the trial of whose partition suit Is on before Justice Putnam and a jury in the Supreme Court. Mrs. McCue, whose maiden name was Pender, Is suing for what she claims is her share of a property left by Joseph Pender, whom she knew as her grandfather, and she (s met by the claim that Joseph Pender's son, Willlani, whom she knew in her childhood as her father. never was married.

It appears that the property in question was owned by JoBcph Pender. At his decease there was an administration upon the estate, and when it was sold there was no recognition of any claim by children of William Hovendcn Pender, of whom Mrs. McCue Insists that she is one. That being so, she says, she Is entitled to a one-sixth interest in the property, and ask3 for a partition of her Interest. When Mrs.

McCue went on the witness stand there was at once a curious situation developed. While she was permitted to give the place and date of her birth and tell who her mother was and how many brothers and sisters she had, she was not permitted to say who her father was. A section of the Code of Civil Procedure very strictly defines what sort of testimony, in such a case, Is permitted, and anything of the nature of a transaction between the plaintiff and the deceased William H. Pender, whom she knew as her father, was excluded. Mrs.

McCue's Baptismal Certificate Excluded From Evidence. After saying she was born In Texas and afterward moved to Jersey City, Mrs. McCue produced a copy of her baptismal certificate, which had the names of Wll-liani H. Pender and Mary E. Pender on It as her father and mother, but it was excluded as being admissible.

After living for a while in Jersey City she was taken to Murphyville, Texas, she said. "Who went with you to asked. her counsel. "Mother, father and the children," replied Mrs. McCue.

"I move that the reference" to 'father' be stricken out of the witness' testimony on the ground that it is stating her conclusion that the deceased was her father," insisted the atteorney for the defense. Justice Putnam ordered it stricken out, and all that the witness was permitted to state was that William H. Pender was in Murphyville, Texas, at the same time that her mother and her brothers and sister were there, and that he was a telegraph operator. Later she was not permitted lo tell of conversations between her mother and the man whom she knew as her father, on the ground that the code made such testimony inadmissible. Mrs.

McCue met the same trouble when she told ahout. coming to Brooklyn in 1801, or thereabout, to live with her grandfather, Joseph Pender, at 136 Cook street. She was not allowed to call him grandfather, but had to designate him as Joseph Pender. The latter placed her with the sisters in the Convent of Mercy, 273 Willoughby avenue, -where she was for eight years. When she left the convent she went back to live with her mother.

William H. Pender died In 1S05 and her mother died some years afterward. The claim of the defense is that Pender and Mrs. McCue's mather were never married, and that during her lifetime and after Pender's death the mother never claimed to have been married to him. There Is quite an array of counsel interested in the case.

William H. Pendry represents Mrs. McCue. Coombs Wilson appear for Ihe defendants, Philip Cohen nd wife, who have title to the property. Mann Buxbaum represent a mortagage holder, and Walter O.

Rooney is looking after the interests of William H. Pender's estate. NEW DEMOCRATIC BODY. Independents in Bidgewood Heights Organize to Reform Party 25 Men Form Association, On March 16 twenty-five prominent and Influential Democrats of Ridgewood Heights held a meeting at Fairview avenue and Palmetto street and' formed lb" Independent Democratic Organization of the Third Assembly District.

Judge Emphasizes Eeasons for New Organization That May Embrace Entire Country. A mnvaraeni was started yesterday afternoon by the Brooklyn Branch of the American Federation of Catholic Societies for the establishment of a Catholic or ganization for young men, on the lines of the Y. M. C. A.

The plan was broached at the regular quarterly meeting of the Federationlsts, held at St. Fatrick's Hall. Delegates from all of the Catholic so cieties of Brooklyn, numbering more than two hundred fifty were present. Eugene F. Cooke, the president, presided, and Vincent H.

Roceo acted as secretary. Among the prominent clergymen and laymen present were: Mgr. Thomas Taife, rector of St. Patrick's Church, national president of the Federation, Edward Feeney; John C. Judge, president of the Holy Name Union, and John J.

Lynceh. John C. Judge was called upon and in troduced a motion, and as preliminary thereto, said: "I am authorized by the executive committee to present to you to-day a motion looking for. definite action toward the creation of the Young Men's Catholic Association, alng the lines the Y. M.

C. A. The executive Oom-mittee have directed that the matter be taken up by the Federation as a body, and we are here as a body to do that, to-day. "Xew York is said to be the largest Catholic archdiocese in the world. Tc-cording to figures just completed (March, 1911) in Milwaukee, of the 14,618,751 Catholics in the United States, one-seventh of them are under the jurisdiction of Archbishop Farley.

The exact number of Catholics credited to New York is I mention this to show how strong and effective the Catholics of Xew York could be in any movement where they would follow consentrated action. In this connection I. call your attention to a recent movement in Philadelphia, where it took but twelve days to raise a million dollars for a Y. M. C.

A. fund. Why Philadelphia Plan Was So Successful. "As a civic and religious demonstration no other city, it is said, has ever matched such a deed. Men of all religious creeds seem to have taken a hand In the work; the white and the colored population participating, in commenting upon the work, one of the leaders of the movement, Mr.

Douglas, said to a newspaper reporter: 'Why is it so much more possible to raise money for this kind of thing than for unadulterated church The most obvious answer is 'that the Y. M. C. A. appeals to so many sides of young man's nature, and the church only to the therefore move that a committee of jfty be appointed by the chairman at his convenience, such committee to be made up from among the delegates here, and this committee to take up the definite movement toward the creation of Young Men's Catholic Association as one association throughout the The motion was seconded by many members, and unanimously adopted.

At the election of officers Eugene F. Cooke was again chosen as president. Messrs. Hayes, Dunbar and Lynch were chosen as vice presidents; Joseph R. Gar-vey was re-elected secretary.

The next quarterly session will be held at Belle Harbor, and It is expected that there will be at least four hundred members in attendance. JUDGMENT WAS SATISFIED. Superintendent Linde's Pay Not Subject to Garnishee. Superintendent of Highways Fred Linde called attention to-day to an error in an article in yesterday's Eaelo on the sub ject of the garnlsheeing of the pay of cny employes. It was staled that the city paymaster is now making monthly deductions from fr I.lnHc'o ac a result of a judgment against him for Hira.ui men oy a printing concern of South Brooklyn.

AS fl matter Of fuel tllrlcrinnnf nrOS long since satisfied, and the claim liqui- mis was a Din incurred by Mr. Linde in connection with the political campaign of 1009, he says. There was a dispute about It, and a suit and judgment resulted. It was settled several months ago. Through a typographical error It was made to appear In the same article that the pay of former Alderman Thomas has been garnisheed.

This should have been Alderman Thomas J. MeAleer. SCARLET FEVER AT COLGATE. Hamilton, X. March 20 Colgate College was closed to-day until April 4 for a prolonged spring vacation.

A. K. Vietor and Jefferson Seligman Express Widely Different Views on Subject. The question as to whether the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals In this city shall have a salaried president is to be decided at a special meeting of the society to be held late this afternoonu at the headquarters at Madison avenue and Twenty-sixth street. Manhattan, and statements mane this morning indicated that there would be a row before the matter was settled.

A (special meeting cannot be held unless twenty or more members ask the president to call one. Such a request was made to Alfred Wagstaff, who has served as president without salary since the retirement of John P. Haines Ave or six years ago. The notices that were sent to the membere stated that the question of voting for a salaried president would come up. but there are some Brooklyn members, loyal to Mr.

Wagstaff, who say that there is more behind the effort to get the society's president a salary than the notices indicate. "If a motion is adopted to have a president with a salary," said Mrs. A. K. Vietor of 51 Irving place, this borough, to-day, "it means that the society Is going to be controlled by politics eventually.

It means that a clique will run the organization who can give the other salaried positions to whom Ihey please. To make the change proposed will be the height of unbusinesslike folly. The society is flourishing under the present conditions, and in Colonel Wagstaff the society has as Its head a man who has been trained In the work and who is fully capable in the office he holds. Women Said to Be Meddling in Society's Affairs. "There are several members who are seeking to make a disturbance.

There are women among these, 1 am sorry to say, and when a woman gets at mischief-making she is meddlei3omo Indeed. "When the members got the notices atiout to-day's meeting very few of them realized what lay behind. I and several other Brooklyn members who are loyal to Colonel Wagstaff have been writing letters to members in this borough, and flt the meeting this afternoon there will be a Brooklyn delegation solidly agalns'. voting for a salaried president. Once the society geta Into politics It means its end so far as independence is concerned.

And there is one more thing we propose to keep the society In the hands of native-born Americans; do not overlook the fact that the word 'American' appears in the legal name of our society." Mrs. Vietor pointed out that the annual meeting at which Colonel Wagstaff was continued in office was held only recently, and that his term as a non-salaried officer does not expire until January 1 next. She did not see how a vote to give a president a salary could go into effect until then, she said, therefore did not understand why the matter was being brought, up at this time. Mrs. Vietor said that from to a year was the salary proposed.

Mr. Seligman Explains Need of Salaried President. Jefferson Seligman. the banker, who Is a member of the board of managers of the S. P.

C. was the man who was responsible for the calling of the special meeting, Mrs. Vietor said. Mr. Seligman said to-day thaf it was true that he was heartily in favor of having a president with a salary.

"Colonel Wagstaff Is a court clerk," said Mr. Seligman, "and of course' it is impossible for him to give much of his time to the affairs of the society. I don't believe he averages more than half an hour a day in its interests. "The S. P.

C. A. Is one of the grandest institutions In America, and we need a great big splendid man at the head of It. The city has great men at the head each department, and that's the type we're after. We have nn one in mind.

but there ire plenty of such men in this city to-day. "Any condillons in the society's nffairs would be better than those that prevail to-day. The whole thing Is badly managed just now, and there has got to he new life, We are looking for the man who can instill this new life, lo take the place of a man who gives only a small amount of his time to the society. But to get the sort of man we want we'll have to vote him a good salary commensurate with his value. And when we get him, the society will grow.

We ought to have, and can have, thousands more members than we have to-day with a man as president who can devote his entire time to the many problems constantly coming up in the affairs of this great society." Mr. Seligman said that he had heard that there was some opposition to the change but lie hoped that it would not prevail af the meeting this afternoon. NOT JOSEPH N. B0SLET. Report of His Arrest on February 5, Last Was a Mistake.

On Fclfrunry 5, Joseph X. I the proprietor of an extensive express business, with headquarters at 857 Lexington avenue, was reported as languishing In jail. Instead of being in Jail, Mr. Boslet, on that day qualified as a bondsman for his brother, by showing that be was possessed of real entate valued at more i than $27,010. Together with Joseph Frisse i of 826-Lexington avenue, he signed bonds for his brother, Frank S.

Boslet, and secured the hitter's release. Frank S. Boslet was in jail through no fault of his own. Some years ago, when "ho was still In the express business, one of Iik drivers ran over and killed Milton W. Haff, the little son of Richard B.

Half. A jury awarded the boy's father damages in the sum of $10,000. Boslet was, unable to pay (his amount and a body execuiion was issued against him. as a result of which he was imprisoned I in Raymond street jail, Attorney John S. Griffith of 44 Court i-treet made a plea before Justice Marean in Bo.Met's behalf, as a result of which i the judgment was reduced from $10,000 to I $1,000.

Frank S. Boslet is now under bonds pending the final disposition of ths matter. I FLORIDA'S LAST TURRET. I Turret Xo. 3, the last of the five giant gun carriages neing piaceu aooara iue battleship Florida at the Brooklyn Xavy Yard, will be hoisted in place on Saturday next.

Women Will Not Change Date of Entertainment to One After Lent. RESENT RECTOR'S REBUKE. He Says His Remarks From Pulpit Were Misunderstood Didn't Advise Parishioners Not to Attend. (Special to The Eagle.) Huntington, L. March 20 Consider able indignation was caused here yesterday by the remarks Qf the Rev.

Charles Cragg of St. John's Episcopal Church, at the morning service, when he told the members of his congregation that he wished they would not attend the living picture exhibition to he given by Ketc-wamoke Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution on April 6. The Rev. Mr. Cragg's remarks have aroused the wratlj of the members of the chapter, among whom are some of the social leaders of Huntington.

Before making the announcement about the entertainment yesterday morning, the Rev. Mr. Cragg paused and remarked that what he was about to say had caused him some uneasiness and much indecision. He said he had once crossed off the item from his list of announcements, but finally had deckled it was his duty to express his views. He said he respected the Daughters of the Revolution and numbered among them some of his best friends, but that he felt that their action In planning their entertainment to be held In the m'dst of the Lenten season was blameworthy.

He added that he wished, inasmuch as the members of the congregation nppa-finlly found it difficult to attend mosi Lenten services, they would take It cpun themselves to stay away from the ratertainment. Letter to Committee's Delayed in Transit. The Key. Mr. Cragg said he had personally written to Mrs.

Camillus P. Rogers, chairman of the committee in charge of the entertainment, asking that the dale of the affair-be changed so that it would not occur during Lent aud that, he had received no answer. Mrs. Rogers was particularly Incensed at the remarks of the rector. Lasi night Ehe told an Eagle reporter that she had not received the letter to which he re ferred, but in this morning's mail the letter appeared, and in it the rector asked that thctenterialnment be not held in Lent.

The letter had been mailed on Sat urday. Mrs. Rogers said that the committee had no intention of offending any one in setting April 6 as the date for the entertainment, and If they had been approached and asked to change the date the woul I have done so gladly. The members of the committee all say that, the first intimation of any dissatisfaction over the dale chosen came in the startling statement from the pulpit of the Rev. Mr Cragg yesterday morning.

Tile members of the committee, of which Mrs. Rogers is chairman, are Mrs. Douglass Conklln, Mrs. Samuel H. Seem.

Mrs. John F. Wood, Mrs. E. S.

Prime. Mrs. S. Funnell. Mrs.

W. X. Baylis and Miss Lavinia onklln. All are members of Huntington's most prominent la milies. Committee Will Not Change Date.

At a meeting of the committee yesterday all of the members expressed their anger at the Rev. Mr. Cragg's remarks, and decided unanimously that the entertainment should be held on the date arranged for. This morning there was a decided unwillingness among all concerned to discuss the affairs of yesterday. Several members of the congregation were found who confirmed the statements attributed lo the Rev.

Mr. Cragg. Most of them were displeased at the rector's remarks, but a few took sides with him. When approached by an Eagle reporter this morning, the ev. Mr.

Cragg denied making the statement as reported. He said that if his remarks had been interpreted as a request, for the members of the congregation not to attend the entertainment there had been a misunderstanding. "The meaning intended to convey," said the Rev. Mr. Cragg, "was thai I hoped the members would use their influence to secure a postponement of the entertainment so that It would not occur in Lent." LECTURED THE William IT.

Baker, a policeman attached to the One Hundred and Fifty-fourth Precinct, brought a man into the Flat bush avenue court this morning and charged him with being responsible for dumping refuse piece of vacant ground. Magis; rate. O'Reilly, after listening to the complaint, turned to the policeman and said: "Why don't on go out and catch a few burglars, or do something useful like that with your time? The town needs your energies, if you will only give them the proper direction." Hugo Heyman. a butcher and grocer of 1H2I Flatbush avenue, was the man arraigned. The case was dismissed.
