JAMES McCREEET Broadway and 11th Street, New York. Petition for Beautifying Ocean Avenue Entrance Addressed to Commissioner Brower.

SIGNED BY MANY RESIDENTS. Existing Conditions Which Make Such a Scheme of Improvement Desirable. Many property owners in Flatbush are clamoring for an improvement of the Ocean avenue entrance to Prospect Park and a petition Is now in circulation, addressed to Park Commissioner Brower, asking him to have the proposed improvement carried out. Signatures to the petition have been rapidly received and if the city appreciates the prayer of its citizens in Flatbush, Midwood Park, Prospect Park South, South Midwood and Vanderveer Park, they will take step3 looking to the beautifying of one of the principal entrances to the park. The petition reads as follows: To the Hon.

George V. Brower, Deputy Commissioner of Parks, Borough of Brooklyn, N. "Sir The undersigned owners of land on Ocean avenue and Fort Hamilton avenue, adjacent to the southeast entrance to Prospect Park, and owners in the Twenty ninth Ward, in said borough, do respectfully ask that a complete circle or plaza be made at said en trance similar to that at the entrance of Ninth avenue and Fifteenth street, or in extension of present lines. Dated Brooklyn, July 17, 1900." Among the signers are the following well known citizens and property owners of Flatbush: Henry B. Davenport, William Brown, John Reis, John Z.

Colver. It is claimed by those in favor of the proposed move that when the park was originally laid out the Ocean avenue entrance was to be made one of the principal places of ingress, and that the original idea of a plaza was similar to the one now being advocated. The present plan is to take 35 feet from each of the three corners of Ocean and Fort Hamilton avenues and by building curves to extend the plaza similarly to the one at the Fifteenth street entrance. At present the Ocean avenue entrance is asphalted only to the Coney Island and Brooklyn car tracks, but under the new order of things it is proposed to do away with the mud hole to the south of the car tracks, as it now exists, and asphalt the road up to the intended circular corners. The storm of yesterday shows how badly the new plan is needed.

To day the water stands in deep pools ol the dirt roadway in front of the park, and it is almost impossible to get from either Ocean or Fort Hamilton avenue to the park without getting one's footwear soiled by the mud. Such a condition of things mars the beauty of the entrance, as well as being a matter of great inconvenience. The residents of Flatbush and the other residential localities in the near vicinity have spent much money in building up that section of the city, and they think that it would be no more than fair for the Park Department to do its share toward improving the beauty of the locality. With the new plaza, the macadamizing of Port Hamilton avenue, from Flatbush avenue to the Park Circle, and the erection of some of Macmonnies' statuary at the Ocean avenue entrance, the people or Flatbush think that the city would not be overdoing its duty. A return bicycle path Is being built now on the south side of Fort Hamilton avenue, but the roadway is in poor condition and full of ruts and mud holes.

By a comparatively small expenditure of money the citv could make all these improvements and take a long step toward improving the scenery of the locality. But at present Flatbush residents are bending all their energies toward the plaza. Land on the three corners is estimated to be worth about $150 a foot, but the property to be used for the proposed curved corners of the streets and the making of the plaza could probably be secured for a much smaller sum. So far the promoters of the scheme have encountered but little opposition, although John and Jacob Lind, who own the two corners of Ocean avenue on the south side of Fort Hamilton avenue and who are. as a matter of course, deeply interested In the outcome of the scheme, do not like the idea.

Jacob Lind owns a hotel at the southeast corner and is afraid that the proposed curved corner taken from his premises would compel him to move his buildings further back. John Reis is said to be the owner of the other corner and he is heartily In favor of the proposed Improvement. HAY FOR SOUTH AFRICA. The Hylas Has Sailed From Here With 50,000 Bales The British transport Hylas sailed from the German American stores on Sunday for Cape Town. She has on board over 50,000 bales of hav for the troops In South Africa.

This pretty well clears out the stock stored at the German American warehouses. So far nothing has been heard of any additional con tracts for baling hay here for South Africa.

E. Church Members Think Dr. Henderson's Skin Is Too Light. BISHOP HEARS COMPLAINTS. The Clergyman Believes the Trouble Is Due to His Reserved.

Manner. The fact that the complexion of the Rev. Dr. John M. Henderson, pastor of the Bridge Street African Methodist Church, is considerably lighter in color than that of the majority of his congregation has led to discord in the fold and the color line is being somewhat tightly drawn.

Trouble has been brewing in the church for some time. When Dr. Honderson was appointed pastor there a year ago in June, there were some protests on account ot the light shade of his complexion. He was a good pastor and an eloquent preacher and he soon overcame the major part of tho objectors, but some of them have never been satisfied. A short time ago Bishop William B.

Derrick of Flushing, L. was appointed to succeed Bishop Abram Grant as supervisor of the New York diocese of the African M. E. connection. One of his first acts was to reappoint Dr.

Henderson as pastor of the Bridge street Church. Those opposed to Dr. Henderson raised a howl of protest. They demanded that Bishop Derrick give them a hearing so that they could present their arguments in favor of a new pastor. A conference of officials and members of the church was called, at which the grievances were to be aired.

Bishop Derrick refused to attend this conference. He promised that he would attend services at the church two Sundays ago, but he failed to appear. The opposition faction grew angry and made bitter remarks about their new Bishop. They wanted a good opportunity to tell him what they thought of him and Pastor Henderson. On Saturday last the members heard with pleasure that the next day, being quarterly conference day at the church, Bishop Derrick would be The opponents and friends of Pastor Henderson turned out In numbers that packed the church.

Dr. W. H. Heard, former United" States Minister to Liberia, now presiding elder of the Long Island District, conducted the services. Bishop Derrick was present.

He got up and made a few remarks tending toward harmony. "I do not come," he said, "cringing a flaming sword, hut I come with the olive branch of peace." When Bishop Derrick had concluded and had retired to the study of the church there was confusion. Those on both sides besieged him and the counter demonstration made in behalf of the pastor did not tend to quiet things down. Bishop Derrick finally announced that he would give an audience to the sisters first and would afterward hear the brethren. It took three hours, It is said, for the friends and enemies of PaBtor Henderson to give an abbreviated statement of the case for anw against him.

Bishop Derrick listened patiently. At the, end he announced that het WAntAd ta treat hnth rMar anH would take the. grievances under consiSera tion. Wiley G. Overton, clerk of tho church, said yesterday morning that there was no excitement on Sunday.

He admitted, however, that some of the members had. appealed to the bishop, but he said It amounted to nothing and that there is and was no trouble in the church. "The church is more harmonious now than it has been in the twenty three years I have been a member of it," said Clerk Overton. The Rev. Dr.

J. M. Henderson was waited upon for his side of the story and he made a clear statement, as follows: "It is a mistake to say that there Is trouble in the Bridge Street A. M. E.

Church. In May, 1899, Bishop Grant appointed me pastor of the church. I succeeded the Rev. W. D.

Cook, who had been pastor but three years, while I bad Just closed my fifth year as pastor of Bethel Church, In West Twenty fifth street, New York. The Rev. Mr. Cook was very popular among the sisters, while I have the reputation of not being over friendly. "Regret at the loss of a favorite pastor before he had served out the five year limit and anger at the appointment of a pastor who bad the' reputation of being rather formal In deportment, is most likely the real cause of a part of the fight which was made against me.

The other cause is beyond doubt due to the fact that I was known to be a man who would not stop until I understood all of the details of the temporal side of the church work. The retiring pastor had announced to the people that they had $600 In the bank, while the fact was they did not have a cent in the bank, but whatever money they had was In the hands of Jerry Keallng, treasurer. It was the last of July before the pastor was able to have Mr. Keallng produce the money and place It In the bank. It was rumored that the retiring pastor had borrowed a part of the $600 and that he had caused the rebellion against my appointment "I stoutly maintained that such rumors were false, but the friends of Dr.

Cook affected to believe that he encouraged such talk. Out of the bitterness thus engendered grew the motives for opposition. The arguments openly against me were that I was an aristocrat and was not a colored man and did not associate with colored people. "At no time have the persons opposed to me numbered more than fifty, while the roll Includes 690 members. Much against my personal desire I was reappointed because of the necessity to maintain the right of the bishops of the A.

M. E. Church to make the appointments of pastors. Bishop W. B.

Derrick is the leading bishop of his church and one of the strongest characters, and being a man of military training Is strict and Inflexible in discipline. When he appointed me to succeed myself as pastor, I had to obey or to rebel. I obeyed. "There would have been no further contention had it not been for the appearance of a new and active agent of disturbance In the person of the Rev. W.

H. Heard, presiding elder. Mr. Heard Is accused of having promised the dissatisfied persons to cause Bishop Derrick to surrender If they would make a "big kick." It was also said that Mr. Heard designed to become the pastor.

"Bishop Derrick came from his residence in Flushing and sat patiently from 9 o'clock until 2 o'clock and heard each and every complaint of the disgruntled trustees. The only complaint which they could sustain was that the pastor had caused J. L. Smith, while trustee treasurer, to pay $13 to the presiding elder on his quarterly assessment in an interval between the meetings of the board. "The Bishop did not promise to meet the congregation, but said that he would make his official visit at the most convenient time.

He made this visit last Sunday morning and found a congregation of about 400, which Is about the usual Sunday morning congregation for summer months since my return, and which is larger than the Sunday morning congregations, even in winter months, during recent years. The Bishop sat for three hours In the study and patiently heard every complainant, to the number of 27 out of a membership of 690. When he had heard the last word of the last complainant he said: 'You all say this, that your pastor has turned out scores of members unjustly, while the facts are he has turned out but two. All I can see in your complaints is simply this, you don't like him. Had I sent you a pastor who was familiar in his conduct, as some have been, you might have liked him, but you have a pastor whom you are bound to confes treats your ladies properly.

He is a Christian gentleman. Your complaints are without Justice and truth, and your continuance in contest will bo rebellion. Be true to your vows as church members, be true to your God, pray for more grace and work for your church." "This settled all controversy. Tho paper that said in its headlines 'The Bishop simply cracked a Joke. The Bishop was calm, courteous and as firm as a rock.

The A. M. E. Church has nearly one million members and Bishop Derrick stands at the head in the rank of its leaders. He is too well known in New York to need defense against any such abBurd Jokes.

"Last year Bridge street church increased Its membership by ninety and raised about $1,200 more than at any time in Its recent GUESTS WERE FRIGHTENED. Cook at the Fort Lowry Hotel Flourished a Carving Knife. The guests at the Fort Lowry Hotel at Bath Beach were thrown Into a wild state of excitement about noon yesterday by tho action of one John Bour, a French cook, who had been employed in the kitchen of the hotel. Bour had been acting queerly all the morning and shortly before noon he grabbed a large carving knife and threatened to do all sorts of things. Proprietor Joseph L.

Lowry was at last summoned to the kitchen and was attacked by the infuriated cook. The cook, however, received a sound thrashing. Policeman Fitzpatrick, who had been summoned from the police station, finally apeared, but he had to draw his revolver before he could get the knife away from the cook. The latter was finally arrested and locked up. This morning he was sent to jail.

WAR RAGES IN DYKER HEIGHTS. Casus Belli, Rickety Engines; Effect, an Unsightly Fortification That Spoils the View. William Burrill. a Seventh avenue real estate agent, and Douglas Gubner, manufacturer of soda water, both residents of Dyker Heights, are at war. It seems that Mr.

Gubner's factory has been established for many years on the corner of Eighty third street and Thirteenth avenue. I With the settlement of Dyker Heights ap peared a new element upon the scene, to which the incessant noise of Gubner's engines was an unmitigated nuisance. Among these i new inhabitants was William Burrill, who set up his lares and penates next door to Gubner in a handsome modern house of bright yellow color. Mr. Burrill was determined to stop the operation of Gubner's engines, on Sunday at least, and complained to the police captain of the precinct, who sent a "cop" to Investigate.

This guardian of the peace failed to discover any noise, and so reported to his superior. Last Sunday the engines were going as merrily as ever. This aroused the ire of Burrill, who announced his intention of bringing charges against the policeman and also against the loo lenient captain. Gubner decided that it I was up to him to make the next move, and yesterday he built on the boundary line between the two warring bouses an Immense unsightly structure, composed of old wagons, barrels, crates and boxes, surmounted by an enormous dog kennel, the whole crowned by two small American flags, the effect of which has been to spoil the beautiful ocean view so highly prized by the residents of Dyker Heights. This was a Napoleonic move on the part of the indomitable Gubner.

but, like the march from Moscow, may prove to be his undoing, for It is said that Burrill has brought suit against him, claiming $5,000 damages. Meantime the Inhabitants of this rural suburb are viewing the contest with bated breath and divided feelings. CHINAMAN THE DEFENDANT. William Grimes Says Sam Sing Hit Him With an Iron Pipe. The Chinese question came up In the Butler street court to day, before Magistrate Bris tow.

As a rule heretofore, or rather prior to the war in the great Eastern empire, the Oriental has been the complainant in the police courts. To day it waB the reverse in the Butler steet court and a celestial was the defendant. William Grimes, a young man with a much damaged elbow, who lives at 57 Woodhuli street, was the complainant and Sam Sing, 3S years old, of 326 Van Brunt street, was the defendant. Sing, who was all smiles in court, was charged with disorderly conduct in striking Grimes with a piece of iron, four feet long. Grimes said that he had been in bathing at the river front last evening.

He was returning with two strangers, who had been In the same compartment with him at the public bath. He did not know them by name, but he thought one of them was called Hardy. The two men went into the laundry. Grimes says that he remained outside, while the other two were talking with the Chinaman. Pretty eoon and greatly to his surprise Sam Sing came out of his laundry on the double quick.

He had a very long piece of iron pipe and chased Grimes with it to the extent of a block and a halft when he struck Grimes such a blow that the latter fell to the sidewalk. The Chinaman was about to repeat the blow when Officer Thompson came to Grimes' assistance. The complainant declared that he did not give the Chinaman the slightest provocation for his attack. Magistrate Bristow. in order to give Grimes a chance to procure witnesses, paroled the Chinaman and adjourned the hearing of the case until Monday next.

No Anarchist or Mafia Societies in THIs City Colonists Here All Honest People From Southern Italy. Brooklyn's Italian colony Is In deep mourning over the death of King Humbert. In thousands of little homes in South Brooklyn there is heartfelt sorrow. Though they left Humbert's kingdom they have never ceased to look upon him as their ruler. Now that he is dead they are going to give him every honor that is theirs to give.

Down at the little Church of the Sacred Heart, on President street, preparations are under way for a solemn service in memory of the murdered king. Some time before Fridaythe date is not yet set the Italians will gather there for a solemn high requiem mass for King Humbert. The plans for the service have not yet been completed, but it is certain that it will be made as impressive as possible. Father V. Marino wil lconduct the services, assisted by Father Franciz Castel lano, who is fresh from Sorrento, near Naples, Italy.

There are no anarchists or agitators of any lnd in the Brooklyn Italian colony. No one there is willing to lift his voice in defense of the king's murderer. They all denounce the act and talk bitterly of the loss to their country. "The Brooklyn Italians all love tneir king," said Father Castellano this morning. "They are from Southern Italy, down on the Mediterranean Sea, and there is none of the bad element among them.

The anarchists come mainly from Tuscany, but a great many of them are from Calabria and Sicily. I do not believe there is a single anarchist In the colony here. "Everybody down here is talking of the King's death. We are all sorrowing over it. He was a great and good King.

I have been away from Italy but two months and know how my people felt toward him. They loved him and looked upon him as their friend." Father Casteliano had to talk through an Interpreter, as he has been here so short a time that he cannot speak English. He said he did not know when the memorial services for King Humbert would be held, but that they would he held some time before Friday. All over the Italian quarter the houses ar 3 draped In the national colors of Italy. Nearly yery Hag is hung at hail mast, ine Italians le street take a deep interest tru sslnation.

They are talking of nothing Catanzaro's saloon at 90 Union street wd was gathered this morning, dis murder. Catanzaro is the poliri of Brooklyn's Little Itaiy. It is at all the Italian leaders gather ere that the pulS6 of the Italian best be felt. Nothing but over Humbert's death could The bar keepers said that garded the death of the King and as an irreparable loss the Italian banker and post lion street, who is perhaps influence in all the quar had never witnessed such as the Brooklyn Italians here are all natives of South good, hardworking people," sa. "They do not believe In tions like tne Mafia and the eties.

I have lived here for "years and I do not believe that anarchist in the colony. Of Burse, some of the Sicilians may have be longed to the Mafia before they came here, out there is no Mafia organization here. Wo are nearly all from Naples and its vicinity. The Neapolitans are all good people and you find them loya! to their King." E. Mondainf, who is proprietor of bank at 14 Union street, said that there may have been a few members of the Mafia here several years ago.

but that not a single Socialist, anarchist nor Mafia society now exists In Brooklyn. He declared that all of the Italians were mourning ever the loss of King Humbert. It appears that the Italian quarter has not a single secret society except the Masons. The police down there say that there are no secret societies and no anarchists. KILLED BY FALL FROM CARRIAGE Henry Beilenherg, Wealthy Saloonkeeper, Attempted to Make Too Short a Turn.

Henry Beilenberg. 50 years old, a wealthy saloonkeeper who lived with his family at 441 Fifth avenue, was fatally injured last night by being thrown from his carriage. Beilenberg struck on his head and fractured his skull. He died at St. Mary's Hospital about an hour later.

Mr. Beilenberg, in turning the carriage, turned rather short and upset the carriage and he was thrown out on his head. His horse took fright and ran away, hut was stopped some distance off by several citizens. When the man was picked up it was found tnat ne was unconscious and Dr. Swift of 620 Bainbridge street was called.

He found that Mr. Beilenberg had fractured his skull. Mr. Beilenberg was well known in the uptown district. He conducted saloons at Sumner and Myrtle avenues and Marcy avenue and Fulton street.

MM MMBBMIl I IfflWIM Ransacked Mr. Parsons' House, but Got Little Before Being Frightened Away.

Two small boys forced an entrance yesterday afternoon Into the residence of Blrt F. Parsons, at 274 Hancock street, and, although they did not succeed In stealing anything of great value, they mussed up the interior by scattering the contents of the bureau drawers on the floor, pulled off the furniture coverings and tore down dust clothe that had been hung along the walls In the parlor to protect the paintings and other decorations. The boys were seen by a neighbor going Into the house, and before they had time to do much damage were frightened away and afterward arrested. Parsons' residence Is one of a row of handsome houses on Hancock street, between Marcy and Tompkins avenues. The family went away to the country early In the season, and the front door and all the windows in the lower part of the house have been boarded up.

The basement door, however, was supposed to be securely protected by an iron grating door leading Into the areaway. About 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon a woman living on the opposite side of the street had watched two small boys, one of whom carried a basket on his arm, entering the yards and begging at tho basement doors. She saw the boys go to the basement door of Mr. Parson's house and saw the larger boy forcahls aim between the bars of the grating, and after some effort succeed in opening the grating by pulling back the spring lock. The hovs looked around cautiously for a few seconds and then went into the areaway.

The woman then hurriedly put on her hat and went in search of a policeman. She informed some of the boys of the neighborhood o.f what she saw and told them to watch the house. A small crowd of youngsters gathered in front of the house, and in a short time the hovs came out. "When they saw the crowd they started to run, hut the larger hoy was caught by the boys In waiting. Patrolman O'Connell of the Gates avenue precinct was eventually found and placed the boy under arrest.

The other boy. however, succeeded in making his escape. At the station house the prisoner was searched and a number of small pieces of jewelry, a silk waist, two pairs of kid gloves, pocket knives and small articles were found in hie pockets and concealed in hiB shirt. The articles were valued at about $50. The boy gave his pedigree as Frank Devlin, 17 years old, of 927 Kent avenue.

He, however, refused to disclose the name of his companion. Last night Detective Finn learned that the other boy was John Croaker, 13 years old, of 2S7 Graham street. He went to hie house, but ho was not at home. The detective waited around the neighborhood and about 10 o'clock caught the boy as he was going home. Although Devlin claimed that Croaker took some articles from the house none was found on the boy and he denied taking any.

Thomas A. York, who has charge of the summer corps of workers among the tenement house children, said to day that the reports of the physicians who had been employed all of last week among the tenements in the Eastern District were not yet ready to be given out. The doctors were sent to the district where the juvenile mortality in the recent heated term had been the greatest and the wisdom of this course was shown. Indeed, the work of the doctors and the more temperate wtather combined to pull down the mortality in a somewhat extraordinary way, but in a manner that shows the urgent need of a corps of examining physicians in these districts all through the heated term. This week the doctors are working in the Brownsville section and later the other densely crowded sections of the borough will be attended to by Dr.

York's staff. The following table gives the death rate for the past week per 1,000 of population in the boroughs of Manhattan, Bronx, Richmond Queens and Brooklyn: Total Juvenile deaths. deaths Brooklvn 26.11 43.S Manhattan 27.24 47.S Hronx 36.31 57.3 Richmond 34.65 64.3 Queens 35.92 56.3 Dr. Sylvester Byrne, who Is in charge of the vital statistics In the Borough of Brooklyn, explained that many of the deaths attributed to Brooklyn were In the seaside sanitariums which have been started for the children at Brooklyn resorts during the summer months. "Many of the patients come from Manhattan." said Dr.

Byrne, "so that It is unfair to credit Brooklyn with all of the deaths that occur at these piaces. It is much the same with the Bronx. A number institutions are there, but the patients come from Manhattan almost exclusively. That fact runs up the death rate In the Bronx. I believe that the Juvenile death rate In Brooklyn last week was really smaller than in any of the other boroughs of the greater city.

You will see that the total death rate is very much less than In any of the other sections of Greater New York." POLICEMAN DIES OP ALCOHOLISM. Thomas J. Smith, 28 years old, a policeman living at East 115th street, Manhattan, Fifteenth street, died In J. Hood Wright Hos dled In J.

D. FERRY LINE. Fine Office Building to Be Put Up at the Foot of Broadway. FAITH IN TRAFFIC INCREASE.

Iron Work for Manhattan Slip Completed Delay in Blasting Out the Slips. It was learned from authoritative sources in the Eastern District to day that the alterations determined on and contemplated incident to the early establishment of the new Fortj' second street ferry are much greater than were at first supposed. The money to bo expended on alterations and improvements in that direction by the Brooklyn Company will amount to between and $200,000. Part of this money is being expended in the construction of a new slip at the foot ot Forty second street, Manhattan, and on the two double decker ferry boats now under construction. The remainder, or more, it was learned, will be spent within the next eighteen nonths in the construction of a commodious new office building at the foot of Broadway.

When this building is completed it will transform, to a still greater degree, the appearance of the vicinity of Kent avenue and Broadway, which the advent of the new bridge had done much to alter. Other early additions necessary to the establishment of the new ferry will be offices for expressing parcels to all points in the country direct from the ferry entrance, and space for the through booking office for passengers. Inquiries are constantly being ade by merchants as to when the ferry will start. It can now be stated positively that the ferry will be in operation before the end 6f the year. At first It was thought that November 1 would see the boats on the water, but the b.asting operations being done on the route to be taken by the new line will cause delay.

The iron work of the Manhattan slip has been finished and the foundation pier for the building in shore has been started. The first of the double decker ferryboat launched six weeks ago at Marvel's dock, in Newburgh, has had her engines, Journal work and paddleB fitted at the A. Fletcher Hoboken machine shop. Workmen will begin to paint her almost immediately, and by September 1 she will be towed to this borough. The second double decker, the Harry B.

Hollins, will be launched in about three weeks. Her dimensions ore the same as the Englis, and she will also have a double electric plant, in caBe of emergency. It is evident from the extensive nature of the alterations made by the company that they do not anticipate any decrease in busi ness after the opening of the new East River bridge. The directors of the company believe that the ferry business will continue to expand in somewhat the same manner as It has done in the past. They also note with satisfaction the establishment of a double trolley line on Forty second street across Manhattan.

Auia caLauiwuci uncut. UUllUeULlUXI IOT paS senger traffic with the Grand Central station, Manhattan, and the West Shore Railroad at the foot of West Forty second street, Manhattan. These two roads will handle the company's business. In addition to the express and through ticket service, another inducement to travel will be a through cab service on the ferryboats from the Broadway Ferry entrance to the Grand Central station. These various alterations may require mors space for building at the Brooklyn entrance, but the company at present owns the adequate land.

Their ground property now covers nearly a block, extending from, the Twenty third Street Ferry entrance to South Sixth street, hounded by Kent avenue to the river. The lower portion of this block i3 at present occupied by the machine shops. To make way for the new office building the present four story office building, formerly occupied by the engineers of the new East River bridge, will have to be torn down. An official of the company said to day that as soon as the ferryboats began running he hoped that the traffic would demand a ten minute service. The distance of the trip Is two and a half miles.

It will be made one way in from fourteen to fifteen minutes. SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENTS. The Kind You Have Always Bought has borne the signature of Chas. E. Fletcher, and has been made under his personal supervision for over 30 years.

John White, a colored horse trainer, was arraigned before Magistrate Voorhees in the Coney Island court this morning on a charge of grand larceny in the alleged stealing of a race horse known as The Rhymer. John Monahan, who claims to be the owner, ap peared as complainant. White also said he was the rightful owner, and there was a lively time for a short while.

It appears that The Rhymer ran second in a selling race a few weeks ago and as a horBe that White owned was third in the race the rules governing selling races permitted the owner of the horse running third to claim the second horse for a consideration. White got the horse, It is said. The horse finally drifted into Monahan's stable in some way and White then went to Monahan and. asked permission to train him. Monahan consented.

It Is said, and in a few days he heard that White had entered him In a race. He protested, but the trainer said the animal could win. He did win and the two men were happy. The horse was entered again and Monahan, it Is said, engaged, Maher to ride. White had secured Sims to? pilot the animal, and the argument that followed ended in the trainer's favor and Sims rode and finished second.

It is alleged that White then took the horse to Flatbush and from there to Brooklyn, where the animal now Is. White claims he can show a bill of sale for the animal, while the friends of Monahan declare the trainer found the bill, which had in some manner dropped from Monahan's pocket. The case went over until a future date. The court room was crowded with horsemen and habitues of the race track, all of whom are anxious to see the matter settled. The horse Is valued at $4,000.

The girl said she had been to Coney Island Sunday night and, with another girl, she started to walk to TJlmer Park, an the last car on the West End Line had gone from the island.
