The Appellate Division of the Su¬ preme Court has unanimously affirmed ihe decision of tho lower court.
The case was tried' before Supreme '/ourt Justice Manning and a Jury at .M'lneola In 1!»18. At the conclusion ot the defendant's case, Justice Manning dismissed It without permitting it to go »o the Jury.
According to the defendant's claim. >he was walking along the west side of Village avenue, when In front of Klos- l<rs store, a lamppost went over and struck her, fracturing her skull. She i.-laimed It fell because It was defective. The village claiminl It fell because Wal¬ ler E. Oviatt, a fruit merchant, backed %n automobile against it.
Oeorge M. Levy was attorney of rec¬ ord for the plaintiff and former Sii- nreme Court Justice Townsend Scudder wrote the brief submitted to the Appel¬ late Division. Francis O. Hooley, Vil¬ lage Counselor, defended the action.
The party wns huge from both the social and the financial aiiKles, which wero the results sought, but it m.".y frankly be said that when M, Car;)oii- tler and his i-etinue arrived the otiier parts (if the party were wiiolly over¬ shadowed and society rubbed should'ci-K with its own chniiffeurR in a welcome to the tighting Frenchman,
The srarden party was made possilili- tliroUKh tlie earnest work of Mrs. .lohn A. ftrakc and the Uindly oftlc«'s of .Mr. and .Mrs. Heiidersnn wlio Kave much ot time, money and energy to make the occasion delightful for every, one.
The Villa Marino lends itself to such a party as tbls admirably and with tlie natural -setting and fhe handsoinc Italian villa to start witii it was not much of .a Job to create the "lioiile- vard des ., Italians." n.
The entertainment was varie<l and ran .'ill the way from tlie aesthetic dancing to boxing bouts between such ring stars aa .lohnny Dundee, Johnny Darcy, Packy and Jimmy O'Oatty and others who had been .sent for the after¬ noon by Tex Richard, the flght pro¬ moter.
M, CariTcntier refereed the' bouts. He appeared in natty flannels and blue I coat and his coming caused tlie abun- I donment of all else.
Under the escort of SeiKt. Stephen ] Weber and a detachment from the P.. .-5. .Aero Post at Mitchel F*ield and with the tricolor riihUK !it the front of his car the French Champion came to meet American society.
With tho orchestra jdayjlng ""Am¬ erica" Carpentler snapped to "Atten¬ tion" witb the dougliboys, wlio had licen loaned fof tlirt day as police, and fhe others of tho crowd in the little am¬ phitheatre where the re<'cptinn to him was held.
Then he backed to the stone steps and watched the other entertainers, with Mrs. Henderson on one side of him .ind Mrs. Drake .on the other, he Ulked but little but his face lighted up when Miss Oilda Oray, of New York, gave her "shimmy" and song number.
The music for the occasion was ex¬ cellent and both Max Jacob's orchestra and Whltma.n'8 orchestra did a large share In making the afferniwn enjoy- iible.

Richards seized his hat and ran for the trolley. An automobile belonging to Henry C. Sehluter, driven by one i)f bis employes, was coining along and ijii'fiarfls ran directly in its path. AccordinK to tbe report, the accident ! was unavoidable, as there was no time ' I'or the driver to do anything. Richards i was carried into the house and Dr. Bergen was sunimone<l.

ADMIRAL SIMS' REPLY TO SECRETARY DENBY SAYS HE HAS BEEN MISQUOTED

Admiral Sims cabled that he had been "misquoted," that tbe context v*f his reported speech w^s "garbled, mis¬ leading and inferentially wrong." Ho far an the speeches them.selvee are con- cerne<l, this practlcaily closes the case, if was said today. There was no dls
Mineola, June 13.—When the trial of Thomas V. Barbutl, Indicted for per¬ jury a.s the outcome of the Plant trial opened here this morning. Justice .lames C. Cropsey in Supreme (>>urt showed idnlniy thnf he intended to handle the Barbuti trial in the same vigorous manner he had empkiyed In the second trial of Plant and in the investlKations he has lieen carrying on in this county.
He told former Supreme Court Jus- tice Townsend Scudder. counsel for Barbufi, that he hail no time to listen to speeches and^s insisted fhat coun.sel sit down. Another time just as tho court had directed Clerk Daniel Healey lo call the Jury, Ju.stice Crops<'y Inter¬ rupted Attorney .S<udder as the latter trie<l to talk to him and again Insisted fhat he he seated.
Barbufi is under indictment as the result of testimony he save in the two I'lant trials. He swore that he had taken luncheon with Carman I'lant, fortner county detective und self-eon- fessed receiver of stolen autoinobile.s on Heptember 16, iiilit, after I'inni nnd llarlnifl hnd beon nt Judpe Flint's court room In Freefiort.
Barbuti tesfifled thnt In flint lunch¬ eon party wns l'lat\l. and a mun be later knew as Mervln I,. Dickerson of Lynbrook. Dickerson himself testified to the .s.arne story which was to the ef¬ fect that^?ill three had left.Flint's court room and Kortc to the Elks' for lunch. I I.rfiter Dickerson, under pree.sure by .'Vssistant Di.strict Attorney Klvin N. Edward.s, confessed that he had lied. His own indictment nnd the Indict¬ ment of Barbuti for jH»rJury foHoWed,
It is on that Indictment that Barbutl is belUK tried today. Dickerson will be a witness against him, so will Plant, Matthew O'Neil, a, convict now lh Sing Sing prison, "Red" Hoffman, who awaits sentence In the cotmty Jail for his part in the stolen automobile game in this county, Harry DeBeau of Hempstead and others.
District Attorney Charles B. Weeks and his assistant, Charles Wood, nv- peared for the state while former Jus¬ tice Scudder nnd Attorney George Mor¬ ton Levy, who was counsel for Plant, are defending Barbutl.
The line of questioning used by Dls. trlct Attorney Weeks In tho selection of the jurors Indicates flmt he will prove the story pretty larfrely by men who are either themselves guilty and hnve confessed It, or men who nri> Implicated In some way and have l)een Indicted.
There will be other witnesses who wore not indicted, who were not impli¬ cated and who only have a knowiedRe of the criminal acts of others.
Selection of the Jury has taken up all the morninK session and It Is prob* lematlce.1 if they will secure a Jury very soon.
Former Justice Scudder is now en- praged, In questioning the Jurors for the protection of his Clients.
Former SherlflT H. S. Harvey of Queens County, Indicted for bribery KrowiiiK out of the Plaflt case, will l>e tried immediately nfter the Barbnti trial Is ended.
Attorney Scudder, in questioning the Jurors as to their fitness to sit Ira'the case, has asked them if criticism hy the Judge of Jurors in the Plant trial, which has been published in news¬ papers, would Influence them.
It is expected that he will try to overcome what he has termed a hos¬ tile atniiosphcre which he says has been treated by the presiding Judge In other trials. He told the Jury in the form of a question that the Judge la supreme ovor the low, meaning that the judne Interprets the law for the jurors and
position manifested today to i|uestlon i "ynu are supreme over tbc facts. On the veracity of the*Ttlstingulshed and you resta tha reapotislbility for deckling
