Her Alda Is still remembered by music lovers. The composer's widow waa 111 only a week before her death. She leaves daughter, Miss Ella Herbert, who was with her at the end, and a son, Clifford, who is in Europe on business.

25 Brooklyn today is faced with the loss of Queens, Nassau and Suffolk, counties as part of the 2d Judicial Ditrlct. following action of the Assembly Judiciary Committee favorably reporting out the Boyle-Thompson bill by a vote of 8 to 3. The bill, which has the backing of Long Island Republican leaders, would create a new loth Judicial District of Queens, Nassau and Suffolk, and would allow Kings and Richmond to remain as the 2U Election of Supreme Court Justicea would be separate in each of the divisions. Fate Rests With Governor. Since the Assembly Judiciary Committee has acted favorably on the Boyle-Thompson Judicial district partition bill It is likely that Senator George L.

Thompson of Nassau-Suffolk will be able to get it through the Senate Judiciary Committeee. Its passage by the O. O. Legislature Is probable. With Governor Smith rests Its ultimate fate.

When the matter came up for vote In the Assembly committee eight Republicans voted for It and three New York city Democrats against it Assemblymen Cuvlllicr. Gallgano and Hackenburg. Assemblyman Edward E. Fav. Republican, of the 17th A.

the only Brooklyn man on the committee, was absent. Joseph A. De Bragga. O. O.

P. leader In Queens, favors the partition. What the position of Kings County Republican Leader Jacob A. Livingston takes Is not certain. Mc-Cooey is said to be against any partition.

Chairman Jenks Intimated that If the bill is passed and signed by the Governor an additional Judgeship might be created for the new district. He seemed to be of the opinion that Brooklyn would keep its 1 Justices and that they would be free from transfer Into the offshoot district. SLEEP FOILS BOY'S ATTEMPT TO ELOPE (Special to The Eaale.)

Sehel-lmg of the Jewish Hospital as purely a question of cruelty to animals as he adjourned the case until March 8 In Flutbtish Court today. "A single act of cruelty haa been charged." said the Magistrate. "The case has nothing to do with aclentlfic research. I am reluctant to grant an adjournment, hut under the circumstances will consent to do so. The defendant must be ready on March 8." Murray L.

Jacobs of Jonas Xeu-berger asked the adjournment this morning In behalf of Dr. Schelling. saying that Dr. John E. Dougherty, executive director of the hospital, was 111.

He said further that he had just been engaged and needed two weeks to prepare the case, which, he said. Involved not only the Jewish Hospital but ull hospitals in Brooklyn in which research work is being conducted. Rudolph Sellgman, attorney for the Humane Society, Insisted scientific research had nothing to do with the case and Magistrate Folwell agreed. He saw no necessity for the presence of Dougherty or of going into the details of research work in other hospitals," he said. Dr.

Schelling. at a meeting yesterday In the Home for the Aged, Herkimer st. and Albany received the unqualified support of the Hospital Trustees Association of Brooklyn and Queens, of which Supreme Court Justice Stephen Cal-laghan Is president. Justice Callnghan said today that the association believed interference by the Humune Society agent was unwarranted. "The agent seized the animals In the midst of an experiment being made," Justice Callaghan atd, "and by highly colored statements put the Jewish Hospital In a very unfavorable light.

The work that institu tion Is doing deserves the highest praise."
