$20,000 FOR GIRL. WHO LOST SCALP Miss Mary Haynes Gets Big Verdict in Supreme Court. Company to Appeal. CLAIM AMOUNT IS EXCESSIVE. Weather Prophet Scarr Testifles as to Wind Conditions on Day of Accident.

Miss Mary Haynes, whose long black hair was torn from her head when she was scalped by a revolving shaft in the factory of the Cook and Cobb Company, was today awarded a verdict of $20,000 by the jury which heard the evidence in Justice Kelby's part of the Supreme Court. Mary and her mother came to court to hear jury's verdict read. Although the girl smiled when she heard the clerk call out that the Jurors decided she have 000, she said she rather have would, her hair and her features as they were before the accident than five times the sum of the verdict. No sooner was the verdict announced than the lawyer for the company made a motion to have it set aside on the theory that it was against the weight of evidence and highly excessie. Justice Kelby denied the motion and it was announced that an appeal will be taken immediately.

The Court granted a request for a thirty days stay of execution and gave the company sixty days to prepare its case on appeal. The verdict was reached after much argument and considerable testimony about the manners and habits of young girls-Miss Mary was only fifteen at the time accident--who have long, luxuriant hair and are proud of it. One of the witnesses called by the company was Miss Eileen O'Connor, of 110 North Oxford street. She testified that "Mazie" Hayes, on the morning of the accident, had her hair up in a "Bird's Nest," or "Bun," and that her sister, Irene, said she didn't like that style and criticised it as unbecoming to Mary. Then, Miss O'Connor said, Mary took her hair down and walked over to the sink alongside of the deadly revolving shaft.

When by John J. Graham, lawyer, Eileen said that it was quite hard to do up a good "Bird's Nest' or "Bun" without a mirror and that there was no mirror by sink where Mary went and where the shaft scalped her. To offset one of the theories of the prosecution, the company called James H. Scarr, the local weather prophet and sephyrs expert. It had been intimated that probably a draught from an open window blew Mary's hair into the whirling piece of machinery, so Scarr, reading from his records, testified that between 8 and 9 a.m.

on August 14, 1913, the wind velocity was some six miles an houralmost a dead calm, he explained. Lawyer William A. Jones in summing up for the company, said he sympathized with Mary over the misfortune that had befallen her, but argued that she was careless, and because of that fact alone her hair got caught on the shaft. He said he did not intend any effort to minimize her suffering, but insisted that inasmuch as the company had paid her hospital and doctor bills to a certain period, she ought to' be satisfied with that.

Tots and Parents Pleased At Eagle Contest Awards Some of the Mothers Were Sure Their Babies Would Win, and Others- Well, They're Just as Glad as They Are Surprised.

Brooklyn and Queens has eight of the happiest homes and the proudest parents in the country. The Eagle carried the glad news to the homes of the eight gold medal winners in the Brooklyn Dally Eagle Panama Pacific Child Photograph Contest yesterday afternoon. Interviews with the youngsters and their parents showed how pleased they were at the honors won. Young George Dewey Has 1 Sailor's Stride. George Augustus Dewey of 144 Monroe street, who won the gold medal in Class A of The Eagle's Panama-Pacific Child Photograph Contest, is indeed an exceptional baby.

If he is not the champion baby of all Brooklyn his mother and father would like to see his superior. His father is a relative of the famous admiral and little George has a real "quarterdeck" stride which is so dignified that It makes the family smile. Perhaps he will command a fleet some day. George Augustus will be years old in the middle of June. has never been ill' a day in his young life unless you count minor complaints which no baby escapes.

He is as hardy as a hickory sapling and as fresh as the spring sunrise. His cheeks are so red with good red blood that they seem almost unnaturally so. The moment you step into the Dewey home you realize at once that the little god of the household is George Augustus. On the wall in the parlor hang several photographs of him. There is a series of three, in a frame, each displaying him, undraped, in a different pose and his beautiful little body is such as to provoke the admira- tion of anyone.

George Augustus is "a fresh air" baby. He is out as often as the family can take him out and he is out in all sorts of weather. Moreover he is delighted at the chance. The windows of his little room are kept open at night. George is a bottle baby it seems.

He has never been "forced" and is left pretty much to his own devices. He is crazy about the player which his mother plays and seems to identify the various pieces. Samuel Merwin Jr. Rather Vague on Value of Medals. "What is a gold medal, papa was the query which 5-year-old Samuel Mer vin of Forest Hills Gardens, L.

put to his parent today when informed that he had won a gold medal Class of the Eagle photo contest. "When is it coming?" "You see," laughed the father, Samuel Merwin, well known as a writer, "in this age we are somewhat materialistic and demand results." Mr. and Mrs. Merwin had no idea that their boy would be adjudged a medal winner, so they were agreeably surprised. "We merely used this occasion in the expectation that we would get some very good photographs of the baby," said Mr.

Merwin. "I am sure we are very grateful to The Eagle and very much pleased that the Judges should have thought SO favorably of our son." Sammy has already picked out his occupation, and it is amost ambitious one. He does not care to be a writer. He has announced flatly that he will be a "painter." He will not be a Rubens or a Turner, painting sunsets, but he will "paint houses," and the more houses the better. He intends to paint whole blocks of houses at one fell swoop, and when he grows up Brooklyn will be repainted, from Brownsville to the river, if his ambition is any criterion.

Master Merwin was dressed for work when Eagle representative called. He was finally equipped to go right out on a painting job, for he wore overalls and a blue shirt. He is a great help to "father" and mother" could not do without him single minute. Here's hoping Sammy may realize all his ambitions when he becomes a man. He is "almost" that now.

Miss Heyser Is Grateful for The Eagle's Honors. Helen Eloise Heyser of 95 Pilling street gravely shook hands today with an Eagle man who went to her home to congratulate her on winning a a gold medal in Class C. Making a little curtsy, she said she was going to "wear it," and that it was "very nice" of The Eagle to give her a "beautiful medal." She is 5 years and 3 months old. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.

Herman O. Heyser and attends kindergarten. Among her accomplishments she numbers an ability to sing. She is very attractive looking little child with blue eyes and light hair. Mrs.

Heyser has just had some new photographs made of Helen in several poses, and she entered one in the contest with the full expectation that it WILL GET NEW PIER Steel Products Company to Have First Lease.

BURGLARS PLY THEIR TRADE Police Have Records of Three Visits Yesterday. Burglars are busy again, and the police are not catching them. They visited the home of Charles Guild, a leather broker, who lives 1155 Ocean avenue, some time last night or this morning.

They climbed to the second floor and stole clothing and jewelry worth about $800. The police caught some excellent fingerprints. The apartments of George Washington, a well-known Belgian business man, at 118 Prospect Park West, were also visited yesterday. The front door was "jimmied" and jewelry and clothing worth 400 were taken. The home of George Rossiter, at 34 Putnam avenue, was also entered and articles worth 200 were carried away.

The comstreet for the Grand he Jury, without bail plainant was Trigue Olsen, a sailor, of 94 street. would carry off a prize of some kind. Mrs. Heyser has bought a car for Helen and she says it is a "flivver." a Doris McCotter Is Proud Medal, Despite Her Attack of Measles.

Little Doris Emilie McCotter 1369 Union street. is one of the proudest of proud possessors of a gold medal. Doris is a happy, smiling little youngster of 3 years, and seems to have an answer to every question asked her. The little medal winner, who is confined to her bed with measles, was told of her good fortune yesterday before 5 o'clock, and when an Eagle reporter asked her what she thought of it, she said, clapping her little chubby hands, "Oh! I just love it." Doris is scarcely more than a baby. She is nearly 4 years old, and has large, wide-awake blue eyes just as blue as the skies- that seem to see everything in one sweeping glance.

Her eyes are fringed with long, curling lashes of black, and her tresses, like wisps of gold, frame her expresgive little face. Doris has lovely, dimpled, little arms. Doris' mother, with only a mother's pride, in describing the little prize winner, said: "My baby is a beauty. I just knew she would win a prize. I not say so Just because she is my own baby, but she 18 a And then, exhibiting pictures which were taken during the different periods of her babyhood, Mrs.

McCotter said: "Just see what beautiful eyes she has. Everybody thinks they are beautiful. Of course, I love both of my babies, but I cannot say they are both Little beautiful. Doris is the Doris is daughter a of beauty." Mr. AUTO SPEEDER and Mrs.

Herbert McCotter of 1359 Union street. Not the First Honors Hermann Intemann Has Taken. Hermann Kolle Intemann, another gold medal winner, is the son of a well known real estate man. Mr. Intemann has two children, one a little girl of 11 years, who is also a splendidly stalwart child.

The boy is 6. Mr. Intemann, said, last night, that the child had once before taken high honors at an exhibition held in Florida under the auspices of the Elks. The boy is a "fresh air" product and he is also a "bottle He has been an exceptionally healthy infant. So proud is Mr.

Intemann of his boy that he keeps his photograph hanging constantly over his desk in the office and beside it that of his daughter. A Long Island Girl a Medal Winner. The fine air at Malba, L. where little Louise Bussing Clark, who is 10 years and 10 months lives with her parents, is the reason, her mother said today, for the child's success in being picked as winner of the Class D. gold medal.

Malba is on the Sound shore at Whitestone. The girl is an expert swimmer, having learned to swim when 4 years old, in the Whitestone Public School. She is two years ahead of girls of her age, said Mrs. Clark. Thomas Clark, Louise's father, is manager of a branch of the Corn Exchange Bank in Manhattan.

The family expects to leave for San Francisco in the summer. Mrs. Clark said she more than delighted at her daughter's success. Louise is a Brooklyn girl, having lived in this borough all her life, until eight months ago. She was born at 420 Park place and was a pupil at Public School No.

9. Amelia Riechel Knows What to Do With Her Medal. A splendid specimen of perfect babyhood--perfect in form as well as face--is little Amelia Grace Riechel, one of the baby winners in the contest. Baby Riechel is yet too young to appreciate the value of a gold medal awarded in a beauty contest, and so the knowledge that she is judged one of the most beautiful babies in this borough has not made her conceited. She is just a beautiful little kiddie.

very much interested in her little world of dollies and animals. Amelia is a born little mother and even at the age of 2 shows remarkable instinct in caring for her baby dolls, of which she has several--bathing them, feeding them and rocking them to sleep, just like "mother" does. She is very fond of animals and is forever imitating their antics. Baby Amelia is but 2 years old and lives, most of the time, with her grandMrs. G.

Woolf, at 948 East Thirteenth street, Flatbush. She has cherubic little face, full of character and beauty. Two beautiful big brown eyes, bright and expressive, and a luxury of soft brown curls which fall in clusters about her babyish face. Amelia is not stout but just pleasingly plump and dimpled. She has an olive healthy flushes delicatelik, which come complexion, tinted with and go as she plays about.

When this little prize-winner was told that she was to receive a gold medal she seemed to understand what it was all about. Her mother asked her what she was going to do with the medal, and Amelia put her little hand on her chest and said, "Here," meanaling that she was going to wear it around her neck. Another winner of one of the gold medals is little Alexander Whittaker of 665 St. Marks place. The family moved away from that address on Saturday.

NEW UNION BANK OFFER Board Would Compromise 000 Claim With $125,000. In behalf of the defunct Union Bank, Joseph G. Deane, its attorney, today asked Justice Benedict in special term of the Supreme Court permission to accept $125,000 from members of fire the bank's executive board, in settle'ment of a claim of $150,000. latter sum represents the balance of $175,000, which was booked as a "dead loss" in the purchase of the People's Bank, that amount having been in excess of what the acquired bank proved to be worth. To cover the loss, the members of the executive committee, Joseph Michaels, Henry Albers.

James N. Brown, William J. Buttling, William Strasser, William C. Damron, E. E.

Bogart and Sullivan, as executor of the Tompkins estate, signed a note. They paid $25,000, and when the bank closed, suit was brought against them. The complaint was thrown out by two courts and reinstated by the Court of Appeals. According to Lawyer Deane, the executive committee men who are left have abandoned their defense that they signed an "accommodation note," and the settlement of $125,000 was. offered.

Mr. Deane told Justice Benediet that, as David A. Sullivan, the exconvict, would be an essential witness for the bank, It might be well to avoid asking a jury to place credence in his testimony, by allowing the compromise. Justice Benedict reserved decision. WIRE BUREAU TRANSFER.

City Magistrates find that they cannot punish prisoners for violations of the city ordinances, because they do not have certified copies the laws passed by the Board of Aldermen. of Magistrate Nash was forced this morning to dismiss a complaint against Maurice Luestbader of 347 Fiftieth street because Patrolman James F.

Miller of the Bridge police could not prove that the ordinance which Luestbader was charged with having violated had ever been passed. Miller summoned the accused to court on a charge that he had speeded his automobile on the Manhattan Bridge at the rate of twenty-four miles an hour. The Board of Aldermen on March 23 last passed an ordinance making this a misdemeanor, and the ordinance was approved by the Mayor on March 30, over a month ago. The section the man was alleged to have violated is known as "Chapter 24, Article 2, Section 17." Assemblyman Ahearn appeared as counsel for the alleged speeder, and Miller went on the witness stand and told of having timed the driver of the automobile. "Have you a certified copy of the ordinance which this man is said to have contravened?" asked the magistrate of the policeman.

"No," was the reply. "Has the Police Department a copy of it?" proceeded the magistrate. "No, sir," returned the witness. "I don't think the ordinance is even printed." "Then I move to dismiss the case." said Assemblyman Ahearn. "You cannot convict a man on an ordinance that you are unable to prove is in existence." "Right," decided the magistrate.

"Your motion to dismiss is granted." Magistrate Nash has often complained of failure of the City Clerk to furnish the Board of City Magistrates with certified copies of ordinances that are passed from time to time by the Board of Aldermen, and which have become part of the city's law. 2 HELD IN BOMB OUTRAGE Tunney's Inquisitors Grill Men Suspected in Bronx Outrage.
