Brokers Gets Verdict for Furnishing Bond for Subway Contractors.

John L. Crosthwaite, a bonding broker, brought suit against the American Bonding Company of Baltimore, In the Queens Supreme Court, Long Island City, today, for commissions he says were due him in placing the bond with the company on oubway contracts In behalf of the former contracting rirm ot naggerty-urummona Company of Manhattan. Ho recovered a verdict of ,2,609.61, the amount of the commission on the first premium of the bonds. In order to qualify the latter company were required to file a bond of $500,000 and Crosthwaite secured the agreement to write the bond for the Haggerty-Drummond firm. Before the bond was executed the plaintiff stated Walter Drummond, son of the Charities Commissioner, dropped out of the firm and his Interests were bought by James Rogers and the company assumed the name of Rogers Haggcrty, Incorporated.

Desiring to assume the $500,000 bond, Mr. Crosthwaite affirmed that the new firm went direct to the American Bonding Company of Baltimore, Ignoring Crosthwaite and falling to pay his commission, which amounts to about $20,000. Mr. Crosthwaite was represented by John J. Kuhn.

The case was argued before Justice Jaycox. JUDGES' COURT SITE Hugo Hirsh Notifies Prendergast He Is Ready to Bring Action on Behalf of the Physicians. PAPERS ARE ALL PREPARED. Dr. Sherwell Says He Did Not Agree to Take Lower Price Grand Jury Inspects Old Court house.

That Injunction proceedings against th city will be instituted the moment the Sinking Find Commission takes definite steps to acquire the land bounded by Court, State, Clinton and Livingston streets, as a site (or the prelected Kings County Courthouse, was stated today In a letter, written ly Hugo Hirsh, counsel for the physicians who own land in that section, and sent to Controller Prendergast. In it Mr. Hirsh said: "I have the honor to represent a very large number physicians, who have had and now have their offices on that particular site for many years. I liavs been retained on their behalf, and am now ready to begin an action against you and the other officers of the city constituting the Board of Estlinnto and those officials constituting tile Board of Commissioners of tho Sinking Fund of the City of New Yovlt, to prevent the acquisition of this site." In speaking of the action today, Mr. Hirsh "1 have already prepared a summons and complaint, and will go into court and atk for an injunction immediately I become aware that the Sinking Fund Commission has taken definite steps to acquire this site.

The action will be based upon the constitutionality of the law which gives the Judges power to select a site." Says Selection of Site Is Not Within Judicial Powers. Mr. Hirsh pointed out that the constitution of both the State of New York and the United States gave Judges only judicial powers and that In acting In this matter they were exercising powers not conferred on the Judiciary by the constitution. It is upon this ground that the property owners within the affected tone will make their fight should the Sinking Fund Commission act favorably on the Court street site. Two of the men who signed the peti tion circulated by Henry A.

Willis and upon which the Controller based his statements that the land could be obtained cheaper than two years ago were seen today and asked how much less they would take for their holdings now than two years ago. Both declined to give any figures. One of them, Dr. H. H.

Waugh of 39 Schermerhorn street, was asked the direct question: "Would you take less for your property now than two years ago?" He answered: "Perhaps I would." Dr. Sherwell of 33 Schermerhorn street, when told that tho petition he signed had led the Controller to believe that he would accept less for his property than two years ago, replied: Has Not Considered Taking Lower Price, Says Dr. Sherwell. "I said nothing of the kind. I have not considered any reduction, and I will not discuss with any one a reduction in the price of my property." In his letter to Mr.

Prendergast. Hugo Hirsh suggested as an alternate site for a new courthouse the land now owned by the city at Raymond and Wlllougliby streets. His suggestion embodied the erection of a criminal courts building ou lhat site, and the utilization of the present courthouse, after thorough renovation, for the departments of the Supreme t'ourt only, lu conclusion, he said: "I had supposed that it had become entirely unnecessary for me to communt-eate with you on the subject Xi( the courthouse, for 1 supposed that the plan of the City Plan Committee to use a part of the plaza resulting from the beautifying of the city beiow Borough Hall, would make room fur the now courthouse building, and as the utilization that ground would also be in I he line of ecotiomy, as the city would have to pay for it anyhow, I did not care to impress upon you the foregoing plan, but as I see the old Court street plan Is seemingly advocated by you, I present to you the foregoing." Controller Prendergast acknowledged the receipt of the letter containing the injunction threat, but made no comments on it. Grand Jury Inspects Courthouse and Will Make Another Visit Thinking to kill two birds with one stone, the Grand Jury today came to the County Courthouse to present a special indictment against Thomas Pitman, alias Patten, of 1334 St. John's place, for selling cocaine, and to lcam the sanitary condition of the courthouse.

On the suggestion of Judge Lewis L. Fawcett. the Jurors adjourned their In- spectlon until Thursday, when a large number of prisoners from the Raymond street Jail will be brought to the "pen" to await arraignment on indictments, and the court room will be crowded to lt fullest capacity with their friends and lawyers. 'The city chemists have examined the air in Part I of the County Court," said Judge Fawcett to the Grand Jury, "on several occasions, and each time they have found the air to lie ten per cent, below that for which tho Hoard of Health closes down unsanitary factories To day the air was so bad the Judge had to exclude all spectators from the court room while the Grand Jury was slttins. i Having heard numerous complaint concerning ine air in this and other court rooms in the building, the fjrand I I i Senate Cities Committee Favort Measure to Relieve Local Taxpayers.

A piano recital was given by Miss Harriet Scholdcr yesterday at the residence of Miss Beams, 119 Lcfferts place. Louis Edlln, violinist, was the assisting artist. The Beams residence was transformed Into, an auditorium for the afternoon, and large assemblage of persons prominent In musical and society circles listened to the programme which the two artists gave. Mrs. Charles McDermott was at the piano to accompany the violinist in his solos.

Such an artistic programme. interpreted by such high class musicians, is rarely heard In a private residence as was given yesterday, and to Miss Beams, the hostess, is due much commendation for her part in the affair. The programme began with a violin and piano number, Wardlni's "Sonata in Major," played by Miss Scholder and Mr. Edlln. It established at once the high musical reputation of the performers.

Miss Scholdcr then gave a group of solos, the "Sonata in A Major," by Scarlatti, and the Brahms "Cnpricclo No. 2" and "Rhapsodic No. 2." The ancient classical color of the Sonata whs sdmirably brought out by Miss Scholdcr, who passed on to the "Caprlccio" and gave it with a pearl-like tone, which gave an insight into her work In this type of music, as well as Into her more robust qualities. The Brahms "Rhapsodle" was played with brilliant yet refined technical skill and expression. Mr.

Edlin then gave a group of violin solos, a "Chanson Louis XIII, et Pavane," employing a fine, vibrant tone, full of expression, and showing much technical skill; the "Russian Dance." by Zim-balist, he was especially effective in playing, its Cossack rhythm and individual melodies ringing out delightfully, while in the "Gavotte et Musette, by Tor Aulln, Mr. Edlin did some specially artistic work, its strong national type of composition being brought out with freedom, charm and freshness of interpretation. He played for his encore a "Serenade," 'by Drdla, with much sentiment. Miss Scholder concluded the programme with the first movement of Chopin's "Sonata In Minor" and a Liszt "Etude de Concert." in Minor, ndding as an encore, a "Mazourka," by Chopin, revealing a conception of the Individual style of the gifted Pole, which delighted her audience. Miss Scholder has been studying abroad tinder Leschetizky and other artists, and the violinist made his Brooklyn debut yesterdny, after studvine with Krelsler and Professor Rcniy of Paris.

SHE IS 99 AND COMPETENT. Mrs. Charlotte Wills Will Continue to Manage Her Affairs. Following a number of hearings durinti the past month, a sheriff's Jury late yesterday decided that Mrs. Charlotte Wills, 09 years of ngo, of 17 Troutman street, was still competent to manage her property despite her advanced years.

Mrs. Wills, who is a member of a well-known Eastern District family, la said to be worth about $171,000. For some years she has been quite feeble. The petition for the commission and sheriff's jury was made by Frederick Wills, a son, to Judge Fawcett. The son claimed that his mother was mentally incompetent to take care of her estate, and that a committee of her pprson and property should be appointed.

The sher- ff's Jury reported late yesterday after noon that Mrs. Wills was mentally sound. MINISTER AS A CLIMBER. He Will Try to Reach Summit of Mt. McKinley.

Captain Ciayten Onaway, the steam lighter Wyckoff. which vas run duwn in the bay last night by die Ltram trawler Heroine, today told what he knew of the accident, as a result of which many lives were nearly lost. It va3 learned that eleven of the crew of the Wyckoff, at first reported missing, have been accounted for. They were landed by the Heroine at Stapleton.

S. I. Two men are missing. Captain Conaway said: "It was foggy and we were going along slowly. When off Robbln's Reef I saw the Heroine riding toward us.

She was about 5 minutes away from us, and I gave one whistle Indicating that I would go to starbord. The Heroine d-d not acknowledge my signal, and soju 1 repeated with one blast. This time the Heroine responded, giving one blast, and I k.iew I had been understood. Although the Heroine signalled us she did not tur her course. I put the Wyckoff to pert, but the Heroine came right into us and struck us on the port broadside.

"I thought we r. r-- slnk.ng. and sung out to all the boy3 to Jump. Six of the men and myself Jumped aboard the Heroine- four of my men fell into the water, and two cannot be accounted for." The mate. Jeff Roster, was picked up by a boat lowered by the ferry boat Queens.

The men still missing r.iv: Jelbert Hyer, a lireman, and J. Jones, a cook. Captain Steele of the Heroine, gave the following version of the accident: "The Heroine is a steam trawler with a crew of twen "-two men. We were going down the bay at 10:25 o'clock last evening, when a little ways off Robbiis Reef 1 saw a boat on my port bow. She had two little 1 ghts showing which I thought were anchor lights.

She not nave ner running jig.us up. I saw r. port or starboard lights, so felt sure thai she was anchored. Instead of bc-lns: an- I Clltjreu bile nan frouifi cil Ruua rate, am acroBg oul. bw Jhe tomsjon not hav(, Dccn aVolde-- at that time.

put out two boats and rescued eleven men. We groped ahout and went lnts Stapleton, where I landed the Wyckoff crew at Brady dock." The Heroine is now anchored oft Staple-ton, S. and an investignion Is being made by the Steamboat Inspectors to pi blame where it belongs. DAYLIGHT HOLD-UP Gunmen Rob Saloon, Using Taxi. One Arrest Made.

Christopher Slnnott of 43S Gold street was held by Chief Magistrate Kempner In the Adams street court today In default of bail for a hearing next week on a charge of assault and robbery. The police say that Sinnott is one of three men who held up the "barkeep" of John Bo- 'tl' BUCVt, III, 1' I. 1 toicuiuj flttci noon and robbed the cash register of over $20. Some of the money was found on the floor after the getaway.
