Walker Says He Bought It; Heit man He Didn't. An arrest that was denounced in the Manhattan avenue court this morning as an outrage was that of Frederick Walker, an auctioneer of 608 Broadway.

The auctioneer was represented by a lawyer who declared with much agitation that a great injustice had been done, his client and demanded' immediate examination, but the case waB finally set down for to morrow by Magistrate O'Reilly. The.

prisoner was arrested yesterday afternoon at the corner of Beaver street and Park avenue by Patrolman Miller of the Hamburg avenue station house. The policeman saw the prisoner and Heitman wrangling over the possession of a horse that was attached to a light wagon. Heitman accused Walker with having stolen the horse. The policeman took, both men to the station house, where a charge. waB accepted by the sergeant and Walker" was locked up.

He was released several hours later, however, on furnishing a bond; This morning Walker's lawyer produced a bill of sale in court, in which he claimed that the horse was included. Heitman, on the other hand, who sold the contents of a grocery store to Walker, denied that the horse was included and insinuated that if it is named in the bill of sale it waB inserted after he had signed the document. The horse with the other articles were taken away Saturday by the auctioneer and yesterday were offered for sale. FIRE SPREADS RAPIDLY And Occupants of Reid Avenue House Escaped Only With Difficulty.

Reiiing the appointment of the tempor ary teivers. William J. Tounga and ex Sena Henry J. Coggenshall of the Mutual BenLoan and Building Company. George W.

Xenzie of the firm or MeKenzie Beebil89 Montague street, Brooklyn, who werefe attorneys for Mary E. Lynch, the de fendj in the foreclosure suit brought by the comny to foreclose a mortgage on property longing to Mrs. Lynch, had this to say to diks to the statement made by the sec retatjf the company, J. B. McQuillin, which appesd in the Eagle of June 5: "lj appeal has not been decided adversely to Lynch by the Court of Appeals, as was a.ted by Mr.

McQuillin. Mrs. Lynch has bealed from the judgment of the ap pella division of the second department to the ort of Appeals and the appeal is om the caleir of the Court of Appeals, but has not as yiieen reached for argument. Lynch borrowed $500 from the Mutual Bens' Company, and the company conditionally jsumed the first mortgage then on the proray of $2,500. The company compelled Mrsnch to pay dues on $3,000 worth of stocipremium oa $8,000, although the amoi loaned was only $500; also, interest on )0.

The total monthly payment to be madoy Mrs. Lynch was $30. and although the i irest on the first mortgage was payable everjbc months the company compelled Mrs. Lyncjto pay it in advance. If the $30 a montwere not paid when due the company exact a charge and fine of 5 cents per month on.

ei dollar in arrears. The main Issue of Lynch was that the company had no power authority to assume the first mort gagepaamucn as it was incorporated under articlV of chapter 089 of the laws of 1892, and is not reincorporated under chapter 705 of th aws of 1894, and the exaction of dues and jmiums on the amount of the first morte $2,600, which was not actually loane and advanced by the company con Btitut usury. The Issue raised by the Lyncftase affects not only the. Mutual Benefit Cdpany, but a large number of' other bulldi; loan companies doing business under the ste system, some of which not only assume hst mortgages, but also assume second mortgtes."

Miller of 520 per cent, fame and the Franklin Syndicate. Judge Edward Thomas in the United States District Court, this morning, granted an order on Trustee Lord to pay to the approved creditors of Jliller a dividend of ti per cent, on their claims. This payment will amount to S17.461 and will be paid by Trustee Lord at Vis of fice. 1S: Montague street, in about two weeks. At the time of the arrest of Miller and the closing up of the Franklin Syndicate claims from several thousand creditors were filed from all parts of the country immediately upon the beginning of bankruptcy proceedings.

These claims amounted to close upon $1,000,000, but were reduced by the court to about J2S7.000. which was the aggregate of the claims allowed after dividends paid had been deducted, and there remained 3,110 cred itors whose claims ran trom to over each. Trustee Lord was indefatigable in his ef forts to seize all assets obtainable for the Miller estate, and the aggregate of this ef fort finally was about $24,000. of which $17. 461 will go to the creditors as stated and will probably be all they will get.

for the costs of the proceedings have been heavy, lasting as tney nave tor over a year, ana the next proceedings in this matter will probably be the Ming of tne report of the trustee and the adjudication of the action in involuntary Bankruptcy against Miner, who is now Sing Sing under a ten years' sentence from the County Court. Trustee Lord stated this morning that the dividend will be paid by seventy eight checks, mostly to attorneys who represent many of the 3.110 approved creditors. WESTERNACHER'S POSITION. Denies That He Has Made Any Deal With the Regular Willoug hby Street Democracy. Leader Gottfried Westernacher's fealty to the cause of independence was questioned at last night's meeting of the Nineteenth Assembly District Committee of the Brooklyn Democracy which was held in the hall at 112 Central avenue in the Twenty seventh "Ward.

Mr. 'YVesteruaeher, who is the executive member of the district, and whose efforts and money were mainly instrumental in the large number of adherents of the independents in the Eastern District, had just entered the meeting place when Recording Secretary George Pitz in a few remarks announced that many of the district leaders of the regular, or as he called it. the Willoughby street Democrats, were telling the" people of the Eighteenth and Twenty seventh Wards that West ernacher had made his oeace with Mr. Mc Laughlin along with ex Senator Coffey and mm me rsrooKiyu from now on until election time would simply be a side show run in the interests of the men it was supposed to antagonize. Leader Westernacher declared that he was in the fight against Willoughby street to win and that any reports that he would at anytime consider approaches from the nwilnp Democracy were false.

"The Brooklyn Democ racy sianus upon principle," he said, "and it is against boss rule. I personally am in the fight to beat every man put up bv WillniKrhh. street. If any one tells you that TVesternachep has been bought over or coaxed over by tho sireei leaoers just tell them in my name that it's a lie and you know It." The faithful independents cheered the utterances ot their chief and upon the motion of Westernacher a committee waa appointed for the purpose of holding a bid outing at the Metropolitan Park In August when the Eastern District Brooklyn Democracy will, he declared, show its strength The committeemen are Lawrence D. Scanlan' Jacob Schlfferdecker.

An order i. a :e.v by Colonel Michael C. cuiiimirfsionor of police for the Oily of New York, to the effect that every member of uniformed force, of which he the heail. must provide himself with new bullous of an approved pattern by July 1. lias occasioned more discussion anions the 7.S0U guardians of the peace of this city any similar older which has emanated from street in many auonihs.

The policemen are not so much disiurbed because they are required to purchase new buttons as they are over the result thai ih will be obliged lo pay from Three lo five litres more for the new article clniu was paid for ihose now in use. A serseam said to day ihat he had heard The price for I he new buttons was to be 15 cents each: a roundsman said he had been uild that L'o cents each was the price and a p.i trolui.it i was shocked when told by a lumber ollicer that a lat ter of a dollar each "wa be the set price, a tailor who makes a specialty of policemen's uniforms said that the price paid for ihe billions which now adorn ihe uniforms of the metropolitan police force was frnis.

Commissioner and Chief cf Police. By the above notice il will be seen at a glance thai the new buttons are lo be all that any knight the club could ask for. Twenty four carat fine gold is to be used in the manufacture of them. Brass, of just what quality no officer seems to know, composes the principal part of the buttons now in use. The change from brass to gold, fine gold, too, was something that the policemen were not prepared for.

Hence their alarm as to the cost. Tho buttons are said to be patented, hut who is the patentee or who is to manufacture them, in fact, could not be learned in police circles on this side of the bridge today. The maker, whoever he may be, will have a very nice contract. According to a manufacturer of policemen's uniforms who has done considerable thinking and some figuring since Commissiouer Murphy's order was issued, at least a half million buttons will be required to equip the entire force with buttons. Each man needs a blouse and a dress suit.

The latter requires thirteen large buttons and six small ones. The blouse, four large buttons. A winter suit, which will not be required for a few weeks, will require tw enty two large buttons and six small ones. It is not at all surprising that the members of the force are a bit exercised over the report thai they will be required to pay even 15 cents each for buttons put on their uniforms when one knows what that means. Some of the higher police officials say thai the new buttons are far superior to those doing duty.

The latter, they sav, tarnish easily, often turn that part of the uni lorm with which they come in contact, white, and are not fastened to the cloth by an up ti. date method. A sergeant attached to one of the uptown precincts said fie would very much like 10 learn whether or no there was rot more than one profit in the new buttons. The Xew York Bui ion Works. 256 Canal si reel, has for a number of years made the notions lor tnc police uniforms.

This firm has not goi the eoniraet for the new buttons. A representative of the works said this afternoon that the contract hail been given out. hut he did viol know the firm so favored, neither did hr know what the cost would WILL BE PAID FULL SALARY. Board of Education Will Amend Bylaws to Adjust Differences in Teachers' Pay. The cotnntiiiee on bylaws of the Roard of Education met in last night to arrive at a seiilemeni of the question of making good shartages'in the salaries of the Brooklyn school teachers.

Many of these teachers declare that the change in the system of payment from ihat in vogue in Brooklyn prior lo Ihe racl merit of the. Davis law of ten installments, to twelve, as demanded by the legislative aci. to make the payment of teachers' salaries uniform throughout the whole ciiy. drprived them of a considerable portion of their annual salary. Another effort will be made to night to adjust the difficulty, which is admittedly one of Ihe.

most complicated questions that have come up before the Hoard of Education. Abraham Stern, the chairman, this morning said that he thought tho committee would arrive at a definite conclusion to night in lime to submit, a report to ihe Board of Education at iis meeting to morrow night. This report, as told in yesterday's ICagle. will probably favor the provision of supplemental payrolls to make good till the short ages to teachers, which have resulted in the change ot the system of payment. President Robertson of Ihe Brooklyn School Board said this afternoon ihat.

the committee on law of the Central Board of Education had conceded that 1 he content ion of the Brooklyn school teachers was just mid right and that they hail a valid claim against the. Board of Education. Me naid Ihat a resolution would be introduced to morrow night providing for a supplementary payroll in September that would adjust all claims made by the teachers.

A 1 I. I I Park Department Starts Public Club Free to Anyone Who Wishes to Register. WILL HAVE EIGHTEEN HOLES, Only Nine Now, but There Is Plenty of Room for More Other Park Changes.

Golf enthusiasts in Brooklyn will doubtless bo delighted at the announcement that workmen are engaged at the present time in laying out one of the finest golf liuks iu the country at Forest Park. Park Commissioner George V. Brower has long considered the ways and means of furnishing attractions for this beautiful park, remote as it is from the central portion of the borough. He has been crippled in his ambitious plans for the further beautiflcation and advancement of forest Park owing to the fact that no appropriation is at hand or can be secured for its improvement. Access to this park land was to be made easier to the residents of this borough by the cutting of a roadway extending from the Eastern Parkway through to Forest Park, the roadway to extend through Cypress Hills Cemetery.

this plan has had to be abandoned owing to tne fact that Mayor Van Wyck for some rea bou veioea me measure when it reached his hands. Still Forest Park these pleasant days nas a host of visitors who walk, ride or drive rtiiam its wooded boundaries. The golf links that are being made in the parkland are said by those who have seen the grounds and who have carefully gone over it to be as good if not better than the links i vou uoruanai rark, Manhattan, long favored by golfers.

Rapid Transit Co. Will Adopt an innovation in Its Rummer Traffic Facilities. TRAINS TO MANHATTAN. Both the Big Hotels Will Be Open Saturday and a Big Bush Is Expected. With a view ot further conveniencing the visitors lo Brighton Beach this summer, as well as to foster the manifold attractions of the hotel and music hall at that place and turn the tide of travel of Brooklynites and Mauhattanites to that resort, the officials of ihe Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company have decided to introduce an innovation this season, commencing on June 23, when a through parlor car service over the Nostrand and FTatbush avenue surface lines will be for rually inaugurated for the summer.

This news will be a surprise to the many seaside visitors in this borough, many of whom hitherto have hesitated about taking a trip on the surface cars to Brighton Beach in the afternoon or evening, week days and Sundays, because of their overcrowded condition. The parlor car service so soon to be inaugurated, however. iU relieve this difficulty and will doubtless be the cause of many hundreds of persons visiting Brighton Beach nearly every day and evening. There will be accommodations for but twenty five passengers on each parlor car run by the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company. Comfortable wicker easy chairs yill be provided for passengers, a uniformed porter wilt be on each car to look after passengers and ice water will be provided for the thirsty during the.

trip. Each, of the cars of the railroad company is unusually, large and commodious and handsomely fitted. All of the appointments of the parlor cars are first class. Owing to the fact that the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company owns but three parlor cars the service afforded the traveling public will naturally be limited. The twenty five passengers that will be carried on each of these cars, the Amphion, Montauk and Columbia, will be provided with easy chairs.

Then the car will not take on any more passengers. There will be no standing room sold. The trip from Fulton Ferry to Brighton. Beach in a parlor car will cost each passenger 25 cents, the round trip being a half dollar. From the time that the service is Inaugurated on Sunday, June 23, 'until the ciose of Brighton Beach for the season, there will be a parlor car leaving Fulton Ferry every hour between the hours of 12 o'clock noon and midnight of every week day.

On Sundays and holidays the parlor cars will depart for Brighton Beach from Fulton Ferry hourly between the hours of 9 A. M. and 9 P. M. Commencing next Friday, June 14, the trains on the elevated roads of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit system will run to Manhattan Beach, instead of running to Brighton Beach as heretofore.

Passengers on the surface lines ot the Brooklyn Rapid Transit system will be carried to Brighton Beach for a 10 cent fare over the Flatbush avenue and Nostrand avenue lines. With the opening of the Brighton Beach Hotel and Music Hall on Saturday and also the reopenlng of the Manhattan Beach Hotel on the same date, the tide of travel from ihe city to the seashore will set in strongly. Every Inducement will be made this season by the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company to swell its receipts in fares for seashore passengers. It is hoped to stem the tide of traffic that for years has gone toward Manhattan Beach, by giving passengers superior facilities for reaching the shore, as as lessening the time to take them instead to Brighton Beach. WANTS TO BE A DEFENDANT.

Emma L. Banta Petitions Judge Qay nor in the Supreme Court. Lawyer Edward R. Vollmer asked Justice Gaynor in Supreme Court, special term, this morning, to let Emma L. Banta be a party defendant In the suit of Nathan D.

Spraguo and the Sprague National Bank against Edward F. Linton and others. Emma L. Banta alleges that, in 1894 and 1897, Linton conveyed valuable real, estate to Sprague, although Linton was at that time indebted to her in $4,497, for which, after the conveyance, she recovered judgment. The plaintiffs are seeking an adjudication that they were equitable conveyances in favor of the bank and the petitioner desire6 to defend.

She says that the claim of the plaintiffs is that the conveyances were executed for money advances by the bank, whereas they were made to Sprague personally. Lawyer Vollmer said that, in so far as money was advanced at the time of the execution of the conveyances, the law prohibited a national bank from loaning money on real estate. In opposition Lawyer Edward M. Grout charged that the present application was made collusively in the interest of Llntpn, who admitted judgment in favor of Mrs. Banta, who was an assignee of tiie claim.

If the claim made by Mrs. Banta is just tlu the right method for her to enforce it was by an independent action. Decision waa reserved. NEW MAGISTRATE STAGGERED. Coolness of Boy Arraigned for Striking His Mother Too Much for Mr.
