OUSTED EMPLOYE ACCUSES MITCHEL Burr Says He Was Re? moved for His "Death Avenue" Activities. MAYOR FROM BED GIVES HIS SIDE Ex-Counsel Polk Has Stormy Session Before Thompson Leg? islative Committee. Mayor Mitchel was accused yester? day of having caused the dismissal of Assistant Corporation Counsel William P. Burr because he was activo in push? ing the removal of the New York ( 'i-ti? trai tracks from Kleventh Avenue. The charges were made before the Thomp? son legislative cmnin.!*>??. by Mi. 1'urr himself, who also declared tha' his removal from oilicu nothing had been done by the city to make ''De th Avenue" safe. When Mayor Mttchel beard of the charges he at once branded them e* false. When reporters reached BcOOC j velt Hospital they were not allowed to see him because, his nurse .sa.d, he was so excited over the charges that a re- ? ?apse was feared. "The true story Is just the reverse of what Mr. Burr testified to." said' ex-Corporation Counsel Polk. "Borr was let go because he was not acthr* I enough in getting those tracks off Kleventh Avenue. The first thin.? the Mayor told M when I took office wa? that we must get those tracks off. t This I told Mr. Burr. But I must say' row that in our office Mr. Burr was considered ineffective. Mayor Mitchel Insisted on a new man, and bis resig? nation was asked." Politic? Not Concerned. Mr. Polk was testifying before th? committee about the Kdison-Amster-. dam light case when the question of' Mr. Burr's dismissal came up. He denied that politics had anything to do with it, and when pressed by Depot' Il torney General Lewis, counsel to the' committee, he sold that t involved the New York Central Railroad. "Did Mr. Burr represent the i that case and was the Mayor dissatis fied with him"" Mr. Lewia asked "Yes," Mr. Polk answered. Mr. Burr was sitting almost behind Mr. Polk. His face grow red and he twitched nervously. He could hardly wait until he got in the witnes- i I to vent his feelings. "Now, I am glad to know why the Mayor removed me," he shouted. "I did not know until I had heard Mr. Polk's teetimooy here to-day **o*\ was the reason for my leaving the Low Dt partment- It now appears that there ' b*ing no objection to me officially ?r as to my character or in any other re? spect, my activity in th't matter of the' New York Central Railroad was the reason. The Kleventh Avenue litiga? tion I consider one of the best things 1 ever ?d - ' ' I was admitted to the bar In 1879. I have always believed 1 would wear Mayor Mitchel's disnn lal as a badge of honor, ami now I am certain of it, having heard Mr. Polk's reason for my dismii Mr. Burr declared he lost Ins place r.fter ho had given an opinion unfavor? able to the railroad company concern ing the ownership of four anil one half miles of land under water from Seventy-second Street to Spuyten Duyvil. He held that it belonged to the city. "What did Mayor Mitchel have to do with that part of the situation'.'" Mi. Lowta asked. "He was president of the Bobrt1 of Aldermen at.d had the matter in enarge as a member of a special committee. Subsequently he was elected Mayor," Mr. Burr replied. Polk Takes the Stand. Mr. Polk came from Washington pr? imarily to clear himself of eorteifl charges in connection with the approval by the Public Servier- Commit the sale of the IJ" t-hates of AflBStor? dam Light stock to the Edison company. As he went on the witness stand he noticed Mr. Burr whispering to Mr. Lewis. "Why don't you become associate counsel to the commise? ?"' h?, shouted heatedly a? Mr. Burr. "I simply ajked Mr. Lewis a ques? tion," said Mr. Burr. "I want you to understand the! I am here at a great p-?r?onal Inconvenience.** "So am I." BMWad Mr. Polk. Soon Mr. Polk broke forth again, this Crie to tell Senator Thompson, chair? man of the committee, luel what he thought. abOUl him. This happened when the Senator referred to a letter which ex-I.ieutenant Governor Sheehan had sent to Commissioner threatening to take the approval of the ?ale of th?- \?'l share? of Amsterdam Light h'.ork ir:?'> court if the commis? sion ?ltd nut grant the order for its purchase. ff-tttllg back to the real purpose of the heart,g Mr. Polk ?aid he had never given ( ommiaaioaor Maltbie an op?nlon ?tating th.it the city'- would b* protect,-.! if the order of the Public Service Commieeiofl had ioeorporated in it a clause specifically stating that the approval of the ?ale of the Am ?tock did not carry with it the ap? proval of a merK?r aleo.

PAPA-IN-LAW'S KISS TAKEN AS APPROVAL Annulment Suit by Husband's Parents Surprise to Her, Says Stage Girl. "I am ? ?Vet ?1 inches tall. I ?m a pony, and ponies ar?> hard to get." This dercription of herself was given In the Supreme Court yesterday by Mrs. Deroth*. li?t?* Herrman. whose hus? band is Philip Herrman. eighteen years 1 old. Mr. and Mrs. James S. Herrman, prirent* of the young man, apparently | think that it is much more trouble 10 ! get riil af a pony than it is t<< acquire i one. Whether they have succeed? d in doing so Justice (iavegan will decide, following the trial of the annulment suit brought in Herrman'.? behalf by h la tether and mother. Herrman was seventeen year? old and attending Pawling School when h* met Miss Gates, who was then eighteen, and. as she said, a pony in the chorus of "Watch Your Step," which title meant nothing to Herrman, according to ala parent?. She was referred to as a show girl. But, r-he explained, then girls aro tall, statuesque young women. Mrs. Herrman is petite and has bl??nde hair, which is cut on the bobbed style. Young Herrman met his present, wife in a restaurant in West Forty-fifth Street, where she was chaporoned by ? Mrs. Raymond Bs-lniont, ?laughtcr-in | law of August Belmont, formerly Miss Ethel Lorraine, with whom she occu? pies an apartment at 245 West Fif**y lirst Street. When Philip threatenesl to kill him? self unless shi* married him, his wife :-nys she saved his life. "Philip wus \ very much In love with me," she said ye?terday "He begge?! me at least sixty times to marry him. He threat? ened to kill himself if I slid not ir.i.rr; . him. so I did just to save him." Without the knowledge or consent of Herrman's parents they were married. Philip being uruler the legal age, his parent? began the suit to annul the marriage when they learned of it. Young Mrs. Htrrman seemed much surprised that the suit to separate her , from her husband should be brought, : because, she ?aid, the elder Herrman ki-.se?! her when he learnesi of the marriage, which she considers?! ?._ in-law's seal of approval. She *r-7??" dignant at the suggestion that for proper consideration she might conita? to permit the marriage to b? annuHaj It was the young hunbanrj ?_ brought the sordid subject of n*a-"* into the day's proceeding-. H.rnaa? said he went to his wife's span?,!? and asked her why she oppo-ed _.. sott "She told me," he said, "?h, *_ going to get money out of my '?.??J and wanted me to side with k,r? Herrman added that Mrs Bt Iraont va? present at the conversation. Mr?. Htrr man gave Charleston, s. c., u ^" home. "Why, yes, I smoke cigarett?* ,.?? drink some highballs," she said !* tt. swer to a question on that subject "How many highballs?" "Never more than three. I know, ho* many to take, and that is more th,? ? some men have learn?d." "Did Mrs. Belmont teach vou toan?', I highballs?" ? ?"'* "No, I drank them before I rr:?t h?r I learned to drink thetn in a TurlmD 1 bath." Mrs. Herrman said she sa?* h?r htji. band only four times after their a?r ?riage. Herrman had trouble wit^ hi? father for stayi. g out Lite at alrtt The young husband wrot? his vif, j letter, in which he mentioned that jobs were scarce, but that he might aik i the "governor" to aive him one.
