WENDELS AGAIN REFUSE T0 SELL Eocentric Sisters Check Advance of Fifth Avenue Business ¢ York, Aug. 1 (P —Fifth Ave- in its march of progress once again has stubbed its toe against the forbidding garden wall of the silent old Wcndel mansion at 39th sireet. A reputed offer of $1,500,000 ofr the four-story brick building, own- ed by three elderly sisters whose combined wealth is estimated at close to $100,000,000, has heen re- jacted, as have been many offers in the past. Refusal to eell its attributed to an ecentric brother, John G. Wendel, in whose old-fashioned office there still hangs a sign, “No property for sale,”” which he posted as a warn- ing to visiting relatives, and whe is believed at his death in 1915 to ‘have left an admonition never to sell. The house has a walled-in yard whtch, unlike most New York vards, lies in front rather than in back of the building. There Miss Ella Wen- del the only sister still able to be about, takes walks after nightfall; there the laundry is hung out to dry: and there her small dog is ex- ercised. Within the mansion there s neither electric light, telephone, Gumb twalter nor other modern ccn- venience. No newspapers or maga- zines are delivered there. None of the sister is sald to have ever ridden in an automobile, an elevator or to have used a telephone. Miss 's two sisters are Mrs. Luther Swope and Miss Georgi- ana Wendel. Mrs. Swope is com- pletely blind and lives on a large estate in Quogue, Long sland, where ghe has not been seen by some em- ployes in twenty years. Miss Geor- giana, now 77, has for years been an inmate of the Bloomingdale sani- tarium near White Plains, N. Y. An ancestor of the sistery was a fur-trading contemporary of John Jacob Astor and laid the foundation of the Wendel fortune. Their real estate holdings in New York are said to be second only to those of the Astor estate.

Sweeping changes of “outside in- |Nuences” in the fire department. lowering morale and efficiency, lack of team-work, etc., brought a charge |from Chiet William J. Noble that the surveyors were “sore” and were here for the express purpose of denying New Britain a lower fire in- surance rate. Building Inspector A. N. Rutherford scoffed at recommen- dations for building law changes, de- claring the engineer to have but a smattering knowledge of local con- struction matters, and Acting Mayor William H. Judd charged exaggera- tion in the statements made by the national board. The acting mayor also challenged the claim that the |fire department 1s not fully efficient. Engineer Hutson explained today that the report was edited through his office and has the approval ‘of the board without reservation. The engineer was questioned at length and convinced the bureau of the ac- |curacy of his reports and the advis- |ability of the recommendations, Hutson declared .

SUES THEATER SEVEN AVIATORS | AFTER FALLING Cosgrove Alleges Negligence in Trap Door Arrangement As the result of an alleged fall ; | through a trap door in a closet at the Palace theater on August 4 1926, suit for $3,000 damages ha been brought by Michael J. Cos- grove, a member of the New Bri- tain police department, against the Palace theater and Michael S. Con- taras, Charles 8. Contaras and James D. Gardiner. The City of New Britain, which paid compensa- tion to Cosgrove, seeks damages of $261, clalming reimbursement the expenses. John H. Kirkham is cousel for the plaintiffs and the writ is returnable in the eity court the first Monday of September. Constable Fred Winkle served the papers. Cosgrove was the police officer on duty at the theater, according to the writ, and he was sent there at the request of the defendants. He | was acustomed to place his coat and hat in a closet in the confec- tionery store adjoining the theater defendants, and with their know- ledge. On August 4, as he was about to place his coat and hat in the closet, he fell. through an open trap door in the closet floor, according te his| complaint. He claims he did not know of the dangerous condition which existed and that the defend- ants were negligent in permitting the trap door to be left open, with- out taking proper precautions against accidents. They failed ta in- form Cosgrove of the condition, he states, The plaintiff was bruised and strained as a result of the fall, he says, suffering injuries to his ribs and other hurts. He was forced to|” expend $45 for medical and hospital attention and he was out of work for five weeks. The City of New Britain sets forth that, on account of its obbli- gations under the Workmen's Com- pensation law, it has paid the sum of $216 to Cosgrove, in addition to expending $45 for medical attention. The city claims the said sums from ‘the defendants to reimburse it for the expenses. Suit for $500 has been brought against Carl L. Warren of this city by the Underwriters' Finance Cor- poration of Hartford, through Ken- dall M. Pierce. The writ is return- able in the court of common pleas the first Tuesday of September and Constable Winkle performed service. | The plaintiff claims that the de- fendant has failed to pay an install- ment on a note, due July 2, and as a result of failing to pay that in- stallment, all other installments become due immediately, together With interest and atorney’s fees.
