DINNER FOR DOZEN WITH NO GIESTS HOST FOR RATJE SIEDENBURG’S l ^ $500 BANQUET TO MOURNERS DODGES THE ISSUE. NEW YORK, I tec. S.—Five hundred dollars for a dinner, with souvenirs, 1 for twelve guests, and no one willing to accept’ Tills is the strange situa tion which exliits owing to the bequest In the will of Ratje Hiedenburg, provid ing that within three months after his demise a celebration banquet should bo held. Henry Kchator. who had been select ed by Mr. Hiedenburg ns the master of ceremonies for the strange feast, has declined point blank to issue invita tions for the dinner, and has even re signed his position as executor of the Hiedenburg will to escape the task which carries with it the purchase of souvenirs for distribution at a death feast. Rltlnehard Hiedenburg, brother of the man whose w ill contained such unusual provisions, has been appointed execu tor in place of Mr, Schafer, but even he Is in doubt about the banquet. It is more than likely that the courts will be called upon to decide what shall lie done witli the $500 dinner fund.
