Surrogate Herbert T. Keteham handed down a decision today admitting to probate the will of the late George C. Coffin, who gave all his estate, said to be Quite large, to his "dear friend and cousin, Bello Coffin Provote" of 95 St. James Place, to the exclusion of his widow and children. In an interesting memorandum hanilcl m.

t. c. Ketcham reviews the practice of probate courts in this State and admits that any decision of a surrogate iu a contested '8 'en on- ls empty and provisional." 'ae says. In the course of a long memorandum accompanying his decision Surrogate Ketcham declares: "The present condition Is an intellettu- al scandal, the butt of intelligent laymen as it is a shame of the prufseslon. Its remedy is as obvious as its disorders.

All of wisdom which It contains would be preserved and all of folly which it surely holds would be expelled if a trial by Jury in the first instance were by statute made available upon seasonable demand. Then the abuses which have btjen remarked with C'atonian iteration in former opinions of this court would abate and idle and humiliating tasks such as the present case imposes, would be unknown." Coffin Estranged from Hia Family. comn. wlio was a wealthy lawver. had about ten years.

For about tnnt time he had lived with the woman whom he made i his sole legates and both his will, dated -November 24, 1905, and the codicil, dated December 21. 1909. made Bella ruffle 1 Provost his ouly beneficiary. The widow and the children, through ex-Justice Van Wyck, contested the will and codicil, which made William H. Bliss of Hast-lugs-on-Hudson.

the executor. Surrogate Ketcham finds that Coffin's intimacy wlih the beneficiary "to have been meretricious." "The evidence is convincing," he says, "that tho only cause for the decedent's desertion of his home vas his devotion to the beneficiary and that, having once detached his an'eciions. she established an Influence over him which lasted for his remaining days and barred his return to marital and parental duty. "There is no need for a recital of the facts which support these conclusions. They plainly exhibit a malign influence which, whether imposed upon the testator by evil persuasions or embraced by his own choice, tended not only to dl- vurce mm irom those to whom he owed loyalty and companionship, but to dl- vrt (Vnm tii i- i i v.

if5tIT" lhe bchehts of Evidence to Show Undue Infliifne Lacking. But though it was manifest, Surrogate -j fit I i was BUUJCCl 10 tne of an association which warpea ms lire and controlled his conduct in its most important relations, the question for the court to decido was whether there was evidence that this undue influence extended to Coffin's testamentary acts. Surrogate Ketcham decides that there is not sufficient iu the testimony to show such an undue Influence, and that he must. In consequence, admit the will. Such a decision.

Surrogate Ketcham adds, leads to a discussion of a "legal pretense," which Is that a decision should be authoritative. In a contested will case tho court's determination is empty and provisional. If the Surrogate decides In favor of the will, the contestants can appeal to the Supreme Court and get a jury trial, and if it is against the will the Appellate Division will inevitably send the matter back, on appeal, to a Jury trial. $4,000 IN FIFTEEN MINUTES.

VISIT EAGLE BUREAU. Eagle Bureau. in I as ls of a is he he lntluence Caught Depositing Stuff in East New York Avenue. Magistrate Naumer. in the Gates avenue police court today was asked by many owners of property in the neighborhood of New York avenue and Carroll street to make an example of Martin Moran, a driver, of 517 Sterling street, the first man caught after months of effort to prevent the dumping of dirt on the streets of the section.

Moran was taken by Mortimer C. Lyons of the Department ot Highways as he emptied his cart on tho east side of New York avenue, near Carroll street. Frederick W. Rowe of Frederick W. Rowo developers of much of the property in the section, told the court that It would cost at least $300 to remove the dirt dumped there during the last tew months.

He said that on Xew York aveuuo, graded two years ago by the city, at least 300 loads had been dumped between Crown aud Malboue streets; that 250 lqads had been placed on Brooklyn avenue, graded privately; and that 100 loads had spoiled the grading of Kingston avenue, between Carroll and Malbone streets. The court was also told that property owners had spent considerable sums to end the nuisance, but had been unable to get one until Moran was caught on Saturday. Moran asserted he had not done tho dumping, but volunteered to go and take away a load of dirt "so as not to get Into any court trouble." Tho magistrate lined him $10. AOELPHi ART EXHIBIT Fortieth Anniversary of Prof. Whittaker's School.

The Many Other Recommendations for Betterment of Force Esterbrook Signs Report.

Appointments, the School for Recruits and the School for Detectives, promotions, trials and punishment of delin quent policemen, reinstatements, the remission of fines and the sanitary conditions In police station houses are all taken up in the fifth and final section of the report of the Curran committee, made public today. The question ot pensions, about which the committee Is expected to have some Interesting data to present. has not yet been completed and will probably be made the subject of a special report later on. The committee will ask the Board of Aldermen tomorrow to be continued for the purpose of finishing and submitting its report on this sub ject. Commissioner Waldo ls scored again In today's report for abolishing the Bureau of Investigation established at Police Headquarters by General Bingham for the purpose of examining Into the history of the men certified for appointment to the force.

He is scored for bis numerous reinstatements of policemen dismissed by former commissioners, and also for remitting fines Imposed by bis predecessors upon forty-two commanding officers in the department. Lieutenant John K. Stanton, whose dismissal by Commissioner Waldo after he had testified before the Curran committee, formed one of the chief reasons on which tho committee based the demand for Waldo's removal, was head of the Bingham Bureau of Investigation. Concerning the work of this bureau the report states: Report Praises Work of Bingham Investigation Bureau. "This bureau did very efficient work.

Its activities disclosed that about 12 per cent, of the men certified for appointment were wholly unfit to become policemen, either because they had sworn falsely upon their applications or because they were ex-convicts, or because their reputations were bad. This bureau was further developed under Commissioners Baker and Cropsey, but was abolished by Commissioner Waldo immediately upon bis taking office. His explanation before us for abolishing so useful a bu- reau was that such work should be performed by the Civil Service Commission. The president of tho commission testified that the number ot men at his disposal tor this work was wholly Insuffi cient for any effective investigation. "At the time ot its abolition the bureau of Investigation bad examined Into the history ot candidates near the head of the list but not yet appointed.

From the roeords of such examinations we have discovered that Commissioner Waldo knowingly appointed to the force between thirty and forty 2patrolmen who had sworn falsely iu their applications In order to conceal previous arrests, Indictments, discharges from employment, etc All ot these men had been previously re jected by Commissioner Waldo's predecessor, Commissioner Cropsey. The only explanation we could secure from the commission for making these unfit appointments In the light ot the evidence before him was that Investigation of character of candidates should be made only by the Civil Service Commission; that he was not responsible for the character of men certified by that commission, and that any man placed upon the eligible list was satisfactory to him. The president of the Civil Servlco Commission testified, however, that many of theso men were recertified without investigation at the explicit request of Commissioner Waldo." A number of appointments made under Waldo are cited In the report. It is shown that a number ot men with criminal records were appointed by Waldo. The committee recommends that "Investigation by the Civil Service Commission Into the character of applicants be supplemented by Independent Investigation under the direction of the Police Commisioner." Redress in Court Only Is Recommended.

Since IS99, the report states, 683 dismissed policemen have sought reinstatement through the courts, but only forty-six cases were decided adversely to the Police Department. The right to a court review Is a protection to honest members of the force, the committee feels, and it should be the only safeguard they can Invoke. The repeal of Section 1543A of the Charter is recommended. This section provides that "upon written application to the Mayor by tho person aggrieved, tho Police Commissioner shal have the power In his discretion to re-hear the charges upon which a member was dis- i missed, unless such dismissal was for In subordination, conduct unbecoming an of-1 fleer or member, cowardice, or intoxlca-! tion." "This charter provision," says the re-1 port, "should be repealed. The right of a dismissed policeman to appeal to the courts affords him ample protection against injustice.

The above section em- i powers the Mayor and Police Commls-1 sionor, in effect, to reverse the decisions of the courts and of former commission- crs. It opens the door to personal im- portunlty and political expediency." All trial commissioners should be lawyers, the committee submits. The fact that Commissioner Waldo remitted the fines imposed by his predecessors upon forty-two commanding officers ranging from inspector to sergeant, while not a single patrolman was so favored, is strongly commented upon. Recruits Need Longer Period of Prep, aration.

HIS BOSS IS PROUD OF HIM. uil-jBiooded Member of Famous Long Island Tribe Once Drove for William Cullen Bryant.

Jeremiah Mayhew's truck, in the yard of Henry Martin, truckman, at 81 Front street, wa3 decorated from end to end with flags and bunting today in honor of seventy-first birthday. Seventy-first birthdays are rather common In this world, but Jere is uncommon, wherefore the honor done him. He Is a full-blooded- Shinnecock Indian and full-blooded members of the tribe that once held Long Island under Its suzerainty are almost as hard to discover as snow June at where Jere comes from. So it was that all the copper-colored American's comrades toasted him today aud said "how." There was no pipe of peace to go arouud or they would all have smoked it, but tlicy wasted a little "flrc-water" in commemoration of the event, and Jere didn't mind. Jere has been on the job as a teamster for the better part of halt a century.

For the last nine years he has been driving for the Front Street firm. Ills employer says of him and It is a constant source for wonder that although Jere does not read he may be sent out with thirty or forty deliveries and never, make a mistake in the destination of any- one. "You can search me for the answer to how ho docs it," said bis boss today. "He never gave me tho explanation." In the picture Jere ls shown on his driver's seat holding the reins over the bark of "Banjo," his pet. Jere's age Is uncertain.

Banjo's is not. He and Jere understand each other perfectly. Banjo just as familiar with Jere's touch on tho reins as Harry Mooncy's elephants are with his voice. It is Jere's proud boast that he onco drove for William Cullen Bryant, tho poet, whom he remembers as the editor the New York Evening Post. Before that he farmed.

His father and mother are long since dead, and the Shinnecoeks, once numerous, are scattered to the four winds. Jere's wife is a white woman and he has two children by her. One of them, Frank, sells The Eagle every afternoon at the corner of Myrtle avenue and Fulton street. His daughter, Mabel, Is married. "He is a splendid teamster," said the Indian's boss today.

"We could not want better one. Some time, he says, he going out to Roslyn to live his declining days In peace. In the meantime Is welcome to drive for us as long aB wishes." Jere lives at 1771 Atlantic avenue. Unlike the traditional Indian, who is pictured as stolid and Bllent, old Jere is a man with a merry heart and he laughs frequently. He Is as straight as a sycamore and as spry as a man of thirty.

Isler was 11 In bed, but she was propped up on pillows, with the children beside her, and received the congratulations of all the family friends. Papa Isler devoutly declared that the birth of the three was an act of Providence, whereat Rabbi Goldfarb nodded his head, approvingly, and all the company exclaimed "Just so." HOTELS AND RESORTS.
