Mr. Eidlitz stated that the emergency committee of the Builders' Association meets every afternoon and that it would be glad to treat with the bricklayers Watching the as soon as they are willing to admit the attitude taken by them in regard to the trouble over the Stokes Building is wrong. The committee is prepared for a long fight. SAY THEY ARE RIVER THIEVES. Detectives Arrest Three Men in a Boat After Running Fire From Shore.

Detective Frank Masterson and Sergeant Dooley of the Amity street station at 3 o'clock this afternoon ran down three men at the foot of Harrison street, whom they suspect of being river thieves. The names of the prisoners are James Vardy, 38 years old, of 144 Union street; Edward McCof 37 of 39 Sack ett street, and John Mahoncy of 3S Willow place. Two of these men were in a boat which contained fifteen bags of sugar and on shore were eleven bags which had been removed from a neighboring warehouse. There wa3 a running fire between the detective and sergeant on shore and the men in the boat. The men were finally arrested and taken before Magistrate Tighe in the Butler street court.

They were held in 5200 bafl each for examination to morrow on the charge of grand larceny. DISMISSED CADETS GET A JOB. All Employed by Bermudez Asphalt Company With the Full Consent of Secretary Root. Washington, May 23 The five West Point cadets dismissed yesterday Bowlby, Cleveland, Keller, Linton and Mahaffey will not appeal for clemency to the War Department. They havo entered the service of the New York and Bermudez Asphalt Company.

This came about through General Francis Greene, one of the chief officials of the trust. He communicated with the War Department this morning, and informed Secretary Root that the five young men had called upon him in a contrite and repentant state of mind, asking for his advice and assistance in shaping their future. They stated that no turpitude was Involved in anything that was charged against them, and General Greene apparently was of the same opinion, for, after hearing their story, he proposed to Secretary Root to employ the young men in the service of the asphalt company. Secretary. Root promptly responded that the War Department had no objection and that it was true there was no charge touching the integrity of the boys, but only a technical violation of discipline.

So, one of the young men will go immediately to Venezuela, General Greene havfng taken them into his service, and the others will be disposed of according to the engineering needs of the company. YESTERDAY AND TO DAY. I didn't have a dollar on the market anywhere. I got a tip or two. bur.

RUCKEL, New York. 2,000.000 BISPU1E TO GO TO fl REFEREE. Rapid Transit and Brooklyn City Railroad Officers Will Submit Their Differences. UDGE DILLON MAY DECIDE The Money Involved Was Spent in Converting Horse Car Lines Into Electric Trolleys.

The officers of the Rapid Transit system and of the Brooklyn City Railroad have agreed to submit their differences, which involve a sum in excess of $2,000,000. to a referee for adjudication. These differences relate to expenditures for construction made the Rapid Transit Company or the Brook lgn. Heights Railroad Company, which, it is claimed, should be charged against the Brooklyn City Railroad Company. The lat teu corporation, although leased as a part of, the Rapid Transit system, has different stockholders and many differing interests.

is over a year since the officials of the Brooklyn Heights Railroad Company decided to try to gain their alleged rights by recourse to the courts and suit was instituted at time, all peaceable and secret overtures having failed, against the Brooklyn City Railroad Company for damages in the sum of 52.000,000. Application will be made next Monday to "judge of the Supreme Court for the appointment of the referee, whom the two companies have finally agreed upon, to hear and determine their differences regarding the outlays moneys. 'Who the lawyer is that will be asked to settle the standing differences 'between the two railroad companies is not definitely known as yet. The attorneys and counsel for the railroads will not discuss the matter for publication, believing it too premature aad also being desirous of giving the troubles of the directorates of the roads as little publicity as possible. 'It was intimated to day that the referee who had been agreed upon to hear the evidence in the action was ex Judge John F.

Dillon of Manhattan. This, however, not be verified. He is a lawyer of high standing at the bar and is an authority on matters pertaining to corporate affairs, on corporation law and on the law of contracts generally. No limit to the fee of the referee selected has been fixed. During the time that the Brooklyn Heights Railroad Company has had a lease of the property of the Brooklyn City Railroad Company, there has been almost constant friction between the directors of the two companies.

There have been disputes over questions as to the manner and object for which moneys were expended. Efforts have been made throughout the protracted dispute by the more conservative men in. both boards to settle all of the questions of differences amicably. Repeatedly have been made to submit the most important questions to an arbitration, but hitherto without result. As a matter of fact, this very point was considered at the time that the Heights road acquired a lease of the Brooklyn City Railroad property, a clause in the lease, as follows, providing for such a dispute that did finally arise: "It is further mutually agreed and covenanted between the lessor and lessee that in the case of any disagreement between them concerning the performance of either of the covenants and stipulations in this lease contained on the part of the other party to bs kept and performed concerning their respective rights, duties and obligations, under the provisions of this lease, such dispute shall ae submitted to arbitration." Having, presumably, their own good rea ions the officials of the Brooklyn Heights Railroad.

Company, the leasing company, determined over a year ago to bring suit against the Brooklyn City road and to pursue the more public course of airing the matter at issue in the courts. At the time the lease of the Brooklyn City was made the company agreed to raise S6.000.000 on the sale of its own bonds and stock. This money, according to the terms of the lease, was to be used in the following manner: "The proceeds of said stock and bonds, less any premium realized rr rpecived on the sale of the said bonds, shall be extended by the lessor in payment at the request of the lessee, from time to time, of the cost of converting the railroads of the lessor into an electric railroad, or ino any ether kind of railroad authorized by law. which shall be approved of by both the lessor and the lessee if all sjich proceeds be not required for such purpose any balance shall be expended by tftfe lessor in payment as aforesaid of the cost ctvthe additions, improvements, extensions, branches and equipment to the said railroads an1 properties of the lessor as in its judgment and in that of the lessee shall be necessary or advantageous to the property of the lessor for the interests of the lessee other than these necessary to keep the said railroad and properties in good condition and repair." 7 Such men as David G. Leggett.

Seth L. Keeney and Daniel F. Lewis, who were officers of the Brooklyn City Railroad Company while the money in question was being expended, have said that there was not a dollar spent which did not have the consent of the lessee as was provided in the lease. C. Trull of 20(1 Broadway.

Manhattan, the lawyer for the Brooklyn City Rail fb'ad. has said that not only did the company mentioned spend all of the S.000,000 hut that prior to August ISM. the Brooklyn City had expended upward of Sfi.30S.nno the cost of converting Its railroads Into sen' electric railroad. In or about the month of August. 1S04.

the heights Company and the Long Island Trac Company applied to the Brooklyn City Company to loan them money for the purpose of converting the railroads. At that time it was ascertained that the Heights "Company was indebted to the Brooklyn City Company in upwards of $300,000 for advances made on account of the conversion, in excess of the $0,000,000. the proceeds of the Brooklyn City Company's stocks and bonds. On or about that date the Heights and the Traction Company made and delivered to the Brooklyn City Company their several Joint promissory notes for the sum of $30S. 30.85, under an agreement which recites that such amount was part of the indebtedness of the Heights Company to the Brooklyn City Company and secured the payment of the same by collateral trust notes of the Helehts and Traction Companies in amounts which, taken al 67 i per cent.

'of their pari value, should equal the amount of such joint ajid several promissory notes of the Heights and Traction Companies. President Creatsinger and Vice President Williams believe that the law suit which is now, after a year or more delay to be settled by arbitration, is based upon a firm founda tion and also expect that Sheehan Collin. the counsel for the Heights Railroad C'omp pKP.y. will win the action. William C.

DeWitt, corpora Man counsel to the old City of Brooklyn, is as sociated, as counsel with William c. Tr.ill. the lawyer for the Brooklyn City Railroad Company. ESLER TUNNEL Workmen Were AM Ready to Break Ground When the Commissioner Took Action. SAYS HE WAS QUOTED WRONG.

Never Denied Issuing Document Police Will Now Prevent the Work. City Tunnel Plans. The hopes of Frederick B. Eslcr, whose prominence as promoter of the New York and Brooklyn Railroad Company or East Rivet Tunnel has been very great for the last forty eight hours, were dashed this afternoon by the revocation of the permit by Highways Commissioner Keating. This action was taken by him shortly after a conference with Assistant Corporation Counsel Hill and Assistant W.

J. Can of Brooklyn. Within a few minutes of the revocation of the permit to open the streets Mr. Eslcr stated that workmen, that very moment, were on the way downtown to break ground for the tuiihel. Mr.

Esler was just leaving Commissioner Keating's office at the time, and the Commissioner was at the Corporation Counsel's office. An Eagle reporter saw Mr. Keating in Park row and he produced the following document: "Department of Highways, "Commissioner Office. VrV row, "rlV 2T Pa 22, 1901. "The N'etv New lorK ilroad com rk and Brooklyn Ra: pany: r.nnrlsmc to you by this departnr The permit issua tne cast side of South str.JIa' 2.

toonf kman and, Fulton, for the tWf fiegiMning the construction of a tunnel and railroad under the East River is hereby revoked. Respectfully. "JAMES P. KEATING, "Commissioner of Highways." "I have notified the Commissioner of Police," said Commissioner Keating, that if any attempt is made to break ground by these people tney snouia De arresieu. "I have just been to the Corporation Counsel's office to confer with him about this matter.

I could not see Mr. Whalen, but I did see Mr. Hill and Mr. Carr. It is strange that Mr.

Esler should have left my office while I was on my way to see him. But I have notified them of the revocation of the permit issued on Tuesday. I do not think they will tear up the streets." Earlier in the day Mr. Keating told an Eagle reporter that he had been misquoted In yesterday's newspapers. "It is not true that I made six different statements about this permit." he said.

"I never said that I had not issued the permit, for I did, and I said also that I would revoke it if it was shown that this company had no rights. I say now they will not lift a shovelful of earth." When reporters saw Mr. Esler. early this morning, he seemed to be full of confidence, and predicted that actual work would be commenced on the tunnel before nightfall. He also said it was a shame that a great public enterprise should be discouraged by the press.

To show that he had had no previous understanding with Commissioner Keating, Esler produced a letter to the former asking that the permit be issued. "As a matter of fact, I have never seen Commissioner Keating in my life," he insisted, in a high voice. The letter was signed by James J. Walker, a son of ex Alderman Walker, as secretary of the New York and Brooklyn Railroad Company. Some investigation of Walker's identity brought to light the fact that he had been Esler's stenographer.

He is a young man about 22, and while admitting that his name was signed to the paper, was a bit surly about the matter. Young Walker is a son of William H. Walker, who was elected Alderman from the old Ninth Ward in 1886. Walker, was then a Tammany man. At present he is an anti Tammany Democrat.

He is very popular and is known as the father of the recreation pier system. Mr. Charles Drummond was said yesterday by Mr. Esler to be the representative of the syndicate of earls in London organized to finance the tunnel scheme, and whom Mr. Esler calls an engineer and the virtual manager of the enterprise, had just returned from Boston.

He said to the reporters: "We have nothing to conceal, and I don't mean to shirk any questions." "Mr. Drummond, are you familiar with the men who are backing this scheme financially?" he was asked. "Oh, yes: perfectly so," he replied with somewhat of an English accent. Mr. Drummond said there were about fifty leading London capitalists interested in the tunnel between Manhattan and Brooklyn.

He refused to reveal any names except those already known as those of the directors. Just before leaving the Highway Department, Mr. Esler said he thought that even then the workmen were digging up the streets. "My men left for down town at 11:30 o'clock," he said, "and they must be at work." Up to 1 o'clock to day there was no hole In South street to show that Frederick B. Esler meant business when he said he would build a tunnel to Brooklyn under the waters of the East River.

The point chosen is right in front of Fulton Market. If the men and materials ever reach there and insist upon beginning the work, the fishy air about the mart is going to be rent with trouble. Three policemen are on guard and have received instruction to prevent any attempt at digging a hole for the purpose of underground connection with the borough across the East River. The City Tunnel. The Rapid Transit Commission will meet this afternoon to instruct their counsel to proceed to get consents of Brooklyn property owners.

President Alexander E. Orr said this morning: "The action of the Municipal Assembly in approving of the plans of the Rapid Transit Commission for a tunnel to Brooklyn is very gratifying to us. The Assembly asked for time In which to consider the resolution, and we felt that it was Justified, as the matter was of such great Importance. "I felt confident that the members of the Council and Board of Aldermen would approve of the tunnel as soon as they had time to familiarize themselves with the details. Their action confirms our judgment in the selection of a route.

"The commission will meet this afternoon to instruct its counsel to take the necessary steps to secure the consent of property owners along the route in Brooklyn. This is necessary before we can ask the courts to appoint a commission. If there is any opposition we shall then ask for the appointment of a commission. "As soon as the commission's report is confirmed by the court wc shall submit a contract to the Corporation Counsel for his approval. When the contract has been approved we shall immediately advertise for bids.

"Much preliminary work has already been done along these lines, in order to facilitate matters and I am confident that work will begin at an early date." WOMAN HURT BY EXPLOSION.

LATTER PUTS UP A GOOD FIGHT. Travis, Hamilton and Seeley Easily Dispose of Opponents in First Round of M. G. A. Tourney.

(Special to the Eagle.) Rye, N. May 23 The hard rain of last night left the Apawamis Golf Club links in fair shape and the course was no better or no worse than it was yesterday, when the thirty two players, who qualified for the match play rounds of the Metropolitan Golf Association championship, started on the first round Ihis morning. A strong south wind came up and blew straight into the faces of the players when they drove off. The sun shone with June warmth, but went sulkily behind the clouds at odd intervals. There was one default, itai HOME GREEN AT APAWAMIS.

Pairs Come in From the First Round of Match Arden M. Robbins taking his match with George H. Bowley through the latter's nonappearance. Overnight discussion of the finish of the qualifying round found all hands laughing at the handicap, committee of the Metropolitan Golf Association, for Clair M. Hamilton, the man who was displaced from 2 and handicapped at 5 this year, being made the virtual scapegrace of the district, was low score, beating A.

Do Witt Cochrane, who is handicapped at 3, by 10 strokes, and also leading Walter J. Travis and Findlay S. Douglas and all others. The "draw" was so arranged that those players who are reckoned the best of the field should remain in for the second round. None of the matches promise to prove i any particular interest, it being conceded that Travis, Douglas, Hamilton and Seeley, who led in the scoring yesterday, would surely win their matches.

Travis was drawn with Mortimer M. Singer, and the amateur champion struck, his gait and went out in 41, a new competitive amateur record for the course, but leaving him only 2 up at the turn, Singer making a good fight of It and doing a good 44. Coming home Travis had only one bad hole, the fifth, when both topped their seconds into the brook and pitched back, Travis needing a 9.

SHAGO DIES OF WOUNDS. All His Alleged Assailants Held Without Bail. John Shago, a waiter, of 41 Oliver street, 37 years old, who was shot in front of the music hall, at 109 Mulberry street, last night, during a shooting affray among Italians, died from his injuries at the Hudson Street Hospital at noon to day. Angela Coscua of 112 Mulberry street was wounded in the arm.

Antonio Casisa of 84 Chryetie street, Peter Posternino of 2,133 First avenue, Frank Spigrilo of 109 Mulberry street, Rafello Deluslo of 142 Baxter street and George O. Marino of 183 Hester street were arrested and arraigned before Magistrate Brann in the Center Street Police Court to day as the result of the affray. The death of Shago was not known at the time, but Magistrate Brann held them all without bail for examination Saturday. Antonia Annetra, reeiding at 156 Mott street, was held in $100 bonds to appear as a witness. The fight occurred after an altercation in the music hall and a fusillade of shots was fired by the crowd after It had withdrawn to the sidewalk.

The hall is owned by Frank Penmachio, and it has been the scene of other exciting encounters. Officers from the Elizabeth street station quelled the riot. It was thought that others were shot besides the two mentioned. HE COULD NOT ANSWER. The Coal Passer Was One of Those Who Did Not Know.

Next morning the captain started a rigid investigation of the affair. The crew was again lined up on deck and In ttfrn each member was catechised. 'Goodacre, stand would call the chief petty officer, and then the skipper would say: 'Goodacre, do you know who brought liquor aboard ship 'I cannot answer, sir," the man replied.

"So it went through the whole list of the crew, and the officers were well nigh at their wits' end to know how to get at the bottom of the whole affair. Suddenly there appeared a rift in the black cloud of mystery. "A coal passer, just up from the Are hole, came on deck, and walking up to the commander, saluted, saying: 'You have not asked me yet, "A grunt of satisfaction came from the skipper. Here at last was an honest man among all the crew. He would tell all.

'Well, Smlthers, who brought the grog on "The man's hand again went to his cap In respectful salute as he said: 'I cannot answer, sir." "What happened to him?

Pierpont has in mind the establishment of "the largest bank in the world." an institution that will involve the consolidation of several of the more important houses of this city, the object being the creation of a bank strong enough to act as a bulwark between the Treasury Department and the financial world in ease of rxefd. It is averred that the financier has conferred with officials at Washington as to the feasibility of such a scheme and that while he has received no direct encouragement on the financial system of the country practically precluding such recognition yet there are those high in power who have assured Mr. Morgan that such an institution might be found not only useful but actually necessarv. As Is very generally known. Mr.

Morgan's influence in one large bank of this city, the National Bank of Commerce, is practically paramount and he is scarcely less a factor in the affairs of the National City Bank, commonly known as the "Standard Oil Treasury." The idea of a semi national bank is not a new one. and James Stillman, president of the last mentioned bank, has been credited with a strong ambition to stand at the head of such an institution. Students of the national banking laws have frequently referred to the advisability of a national bank on the lines of the Bank of England and the Bank of France, although they have admitted the impossibility of such an institution without a complete rearrangement of the present laws. A high official of a bank closely connected with the Morgan interests was asked for an expression of opinion concerning the reported scheme. He declined to discuss the matter beyond saying that this is an era of marvelous and far reaching enterprises and that thus far he had given little thought to the matter.

At J. P. Morgan banking house none of the firm would discuss the matter at all. HABEAS CORPUS FOR ALLEN. Counsel for Alleged Poolroom Keepers Propose to Test Section 351 of the Penal Code.

Justice Jerome became nervous and excited In court this morning and told Lawyer Stein hardt. of Howe Hummel that if it were not for his (Steinhardt'f) health he would not have bsen as patient as he had been with him. Jerome has chafed not a little at Stein hardt's vigorous efforts to defend his clients, most of them taken in raids in which the justice has been a spectacular part and has been rather incllnedrto treat it as a persona! matter. Steinhardt's offense this morning lay in "he suggestion that the courtesy of remaining in the court room instead of being sent to the Tombs be extended to his clients, for whom, he informed Jerome, he had instituted habeas corpus proceedings, which would be completed at almost any moment. In re plv to this suggestion Jerome said: I have stood a good deal from you, and if it were not for the state of your health, I wouldn't have been as patient with you as I have been." "1 know my rights and you needn't con, sider mv health." replied Steinhart.

"Stop it." said Justice Jerome, striking, the table fiercely, "in my court room you must maintain proper decorum and dignity." Steinhardt, made no comment upon the example of decorum but subsided. Steinhardt's clients. "The" Allen, Charles Bavard and Robert Allen, who are charged with being concerned in the running of a pool room at SO Sixth avenue, appeared before Jerome and in default of bond were committed to the Tombs. Steinhardt was awaiting a writ of habeas corpus which be was obtaining in the Supreme Court and refused to give bail for his clients because he expected to test, at the outset, the efficiency of section S51 of the Penal Code. The three men were sent to the Tombs.

Justice O'Gorman in the Supreme Court later issued a writ of habeas corpus directing the production of "The" Allen. Charles Bennett. William Lewis. Arthur Moore, William Campbpell and Robert Allen. When Allen and his fellow prisoners were taken before Justice O'Gorman, Steinhardt appeared for them and Assistant District Attorney Schurman appeared in opposition to the writ.

Mr. Steinhardt said an agreement had been made for an adjournment until 2 o'clock to morrow afternoon. Justice O'Gorman named the date and pending the decision on the writ of habeas corpus he held the prisoners in SI. 000 bail each. MARKS SEEKS VINDICATION.

ENDS HIS LIFE IN JAIL Bresci, tha Anarchist Who Form" erly Lived in New Jersey, Stran gles Himself in His Cell. ROPE MADE FROM BLANKETS. Assassin Had Been Suffering From Extreme Excitement, Declared to Be Due to Remorse. Rome, May 23 Bresci, the assassin of the late King Hiitabert, has committed suicide at the penitentiary of Santo Stefano. This institution is situated on the Island of Santo Stefano, which, with the Island of Vendotene, both belonging to the Pontine group of Islands, off the Gulf of Gaeta, northwest of Naples, form a penal colony of Italy.

Bresci was removed to Santo Stefano from his prison near Milan. Bresci recently had been suffering from extreme excitement, declared to be from remorse. night he made a rope from bis blankets and strangled himself. On the wall of Brescl's cell the word "Vengeance" was scratched with his bloody thumb nail. Bresci's violence last week culminated in an attack on a jailer, in consequence of which he was placed in a straight jacket.

Later, the prisoner feigned docility, In order to secure an opportunity to commit suicide, which he accomplished by hanging himself with an improvised rope attached to the ceiling. In the earlier days of his imprisonment Bresci resented orders tqkeep silent and threatened to kill himself. Bresci assassinated King Humbert of Italy at Monza, on July 29, 1900, and was sentenced to life Imprisonment on August 29 of the same year, that being the most severe penalty which could be imposed under the laws of Italy for murder. The assassin formerly resided at Pater son and at Hoboken, N. J.

He belonged to an organized body of anarchists, holding meetings in the New Jersey cities mentioned. In West Hoboken, the meeting place was in a resort that attracted little attention, and nothing of the anarchists seemed to be known by the sleepy or sympathizing police of the town. Early last year the organized assassins held a drawing as to who of the members should kill the King of Italy, and the fatal ticket was drawn by Gaetano Bresci, a weak, pliant young man. At the same meeting and among those who took part in the drawing was Carbonl Sperandio, who committed suicide shoTtly after Bresci's arrest. Sperandio lived in Paterson.

and, it was shown after death, was undoubtedly guilty of a murder of which he had been strongly suspected. Bresci, at the time of the drawing, lived with his wife, the mother of a little girl, 20 months old, in Monastery 6treet, near Clinton avenue, West Hoboken. On May 10, 1900, a few days after the drawing, he left home without any explanation on a voyage to Italy. He was a native of Prabo, where his father was living, and most of his friends and his wife believed he was going home on a visit. Bresci reached Monza July 27 from Milan and on the night of July 29 he ehot the King, who was returning to the palace.

The assassin flred three times. King Humbert was driven away as, rapidly as possible. He was, however, beyond human aid. The first shot wounded the King In the neck; the second, the fatal one, pierced his heart, and the third broke the arm of the dying sovereign. The crowd in the meantime had tried to get at Bresci and, when the guards had succeeded In placing bim behind prison bars, he was in a pitiable condition.

He had narrowly escaped lynching and he was covered with wounds. To his guards he cried: "Tell them I came from America, where I am a silk weaver, on purpose to kill Humbert." Somebody asked him what motive he had for killing the King. "Simply my anarchist principles," he replied. Here in this country his wife described him as "too chicken hearted to kin" even a mouse." When Sperandio had killed himself in Paterson, a note in Italian was found pinned Inside of one of his pockets. This note stated that the Italian Anarchist had drawn lots as to who should kilt King Humbert.

For some time after his trial and conviction, Bresci kept up his anarchistic declarations and, according to dispatches from Italy a few weeks ago, his guards gave bim cause to regret It. It was reported not long ago that he was dying from the cruel treat ment which was meted out to him in prison. SAY BRESCI WAS MURDERED.
