As a matter of fact, the money is reposing in the safe in the office of Property Clerk Blatehford, at headquarters on Smith street, and Blatehford has been wondering why in thnuder somebody not claimed it long ago.

Moses Walker. "The Eastern District ia the cheapest place for a husband that I know of," said Magistrate Watson, this morning, to Moses Walker of S2 Franklin street, who had been arraigned before him charged with abandonment.

dollar bill seems to be the limit over this way. Well, if she's satisfied, so am sighed the magistrate, but his looks toward the "pen" and the retreating Walker did not seem to bear out this statement. HIS PLAYMATES' TRIBUTE.

It Lands Him in Court on Charge of Threatening to Kill a Woman. HE WROTE TO MRS. COMFORT.

The Latter Was Afraid That She Would Never See Daylight Again. Harry E. Shirk, who says that he is man aging clerk in the law office of James P. Philips of 26 Court street, but who intimates that he also does a little in the way of real estate and collecting on the "side," as ha puts it. was arrested this afternoon by be tective Sergeant James Roche of the headquarters staff on a charge of having threatened the life of Mrs.

Elizabeth Comfort, of 208 Forty sixth street through the Jirs. Comfort, who is of middle age, had the misfortune the other day to fall on tha sidewalk. An orange peel which had been carelessly thrown on the pavement by a child was responsible for her mishap and her left wrist was badly wrenched. She went to a doctor and he tried to make the wrist well again. When she went to court this morning to get a warrant for the arrest of Shirk her wrist was still in bandages.

Thero. was some disrute with the doctor about the bill which ho sent in and it was not paid. There is. a difference in cash of fifty dollars between Mrs. Comfort and her doctor and that is what led to the trouble with young Shirk, for the physician placed his bill in the hands of Shirk for collection.

According to the indications Mr. Shirk, who is not more than 21, went after Mrs. Comfort with a zeal that might have been comforting to the doctor, but which was Irksome to the woman. She did not pay much attention to the letters that Mr. Shjrk sent to house until she found this letter at her home the other day: Harry K.

Shirk. Real Estate and Insurance, 26 Court street, Brooklyn: April 23, 30K. Mrs. 'Elizabeth Comfort: Dear madame I called at your residence, but you were out. but Flipped a note under the door, statins that you should be at my ollice.

I presume you received the note, but did not honor it. I kinrilv wish to say one more word in your behalf and that is if you arc not at my office on Thursday morning. .10 o'clock, sharp. I doubt verv much whether you and some one else will ever see daylight again. It this letter is not honored.

Further, by your callinpr at my oflice it will bo to vour advantage. Yours respectfully, HARRY SHIRK. Mrs. Comfnrt did not know what to do when she got the note. Daylight is as dear to her as, to anyone else who has ever reveled in it, and she did net wish to lose a glimpse of it the next morning.

She hardly believed, it is true, that Mr. Shirk would carry his shocking threat into effect, yet she could not be sure. She read the note again and again, and after long and frequent perusal she could not see that there was any direct threat in the letter, only suggestion, by implication, that something dreadful would happen. Next day, she employed the. time to visit the police, and the case was placed in the hands of Captain Reynolds.

Sergeant Roche of the detective force, took Mrs. Comfort to the. Adams street court this morning, and when she had swern to the fact that she had received the letter, and when the detective had made another affidavit to the effect that Shirk had admitted to him that he Shirk, had written it. Magistrate Nostrand issued a warrant for the young man's arrest. "There is nothing in this case," said Shirk, tiimriiv tn a reporter, after he had been ar 'vccrprl l.ll r'a t'na lolrc all ny harm t0 this WOman.

UI course, muiic i iuli. mv iciv.i You see I do a little on me sine, and I wanted to get this money for the doctor from Mrs. Comfort." Shirk was held pending an investigation. TRYING TO GET HARMONY. Plan Recommended for the Seventh Assembly District Democrats.

A meeting of Seventh Assembly District Democrats was held last night at the club rooms. Fifty third street and Third avenue, at which the situation in tho district was considered. The report of a committee, headed by Daniel Moynahan. was received and adopted. This report favors a return to the election district system of organization, which was favored by Luke D.

Stapleton's friends, but it is regretted that the bylaws of the county committee compel the. running of tickets throughout the Assembly district. The report says: Section 1 of Article III of these laws and rules provides as follows: The unit of representation shall be the Assembly District, anil representatlon'ln the County General Commltfe and Assembly District committees, and Bll conventions called by the genera! committee, or held pursuant to the laws of the slate, shall consist of delegates elected from each Assembly District by the greatest number ot votes of the enrolled electors of each respective Assembly District votinK nt the primaries. With the law standing thus, must as this committee regrets the fact, there is no escape from voting for the entire ticket throughout the Assembly District, without endangering the result of lhe" primary election. Th.

itnnronch to that result which this committee can conceive of is the establishment of election' district associations with the power of nominating those who are to ne votetl tor on me vmiiot. Th entire fracti c.abie for the from each election district to tno ssemui are thirtv tive election districts 111 the assembly district anil only t.wcnty four members of tha Count tVimmUtce to be elected, some equitable scheme of selection is desirable, and this committee ha" devised 'the following: Each nf the seventeen primary districts shall nominate one enn diilite for the County Committee anil the Assem blv' district committee, called together for that i.u'rno shall seven nominees to com nlete 'the twenty four ilelegaies to thr County Committee, or fill vacancies. If any. from among tho Democratic voters of the district. Representatives of all the election districts were present.

Proposed Ordinance Amended as Mayor Suggested and at Once Repassed. CITY NOW TO BRING THE SUITS. McCall Makes Bitter Attack on Beef Trust, Which Apparently Has No Friends in Board.

At to day's session of the Board of Aldermen, over which Vice Chairman' Mclnnes presided. Alderman Sullivan withdrew his resolution passed recently requiring street surface railway companies to run cars through to their marked destinations in stead of compelling passengers to transfer at intermediate points, and offered a sub stitute meet eertain objections to the original urged by the Mayor. Mayor Low held a hearing a few days ago 1 on the resolution and indicated his general approval of the proposition. He found, however, that if it were approved it would be hard to collect the penalty, as suits had to be brought by passengers themselves. The new resolution provides that suits shall bs brought in the city's name.

The new resolution was drawn at the Mayor's direction and includes provision that the cars shall be marked plainly for the convenience of passengers. At Aid. Sullivan's request and after he had explained it the resolution was adopted by a vote of 4'J to 1, and will in all probability receive Mayor Low's approval. Alcerraan Sullivan also introduced a. resolution providing for a $5,000 appropriation for the entertainment of the distinguished French officials shortly to arrive here to take part in the unveiling of the Rochambeau statue in Washington.

Aid. McCall, seouring unanimous permission, introduced a resolution requesting the Board of Estimate to make an additional appropriation of to enable the Health Commissioner to employ ten extra meat inspectors. Aid. McCall made this the basis of a violent and excited denunciation of the beef trust, the leaders of which, he declared, the people of this city would be justified in taking and stringing up on the nearest lamp posts. "I say.

as a law abiding citizen." declared the alderman, "the poor people here would be justified in taking ropes and stringing them to the nearest lamp posts." The Alderman said Commissioner Lederle had but ten inspectors and they wc(e insufficient to do the work, particularly in this crisis, where there was an incentive to attempt the sale of bad meat in this city. The resolution of Aid. McCall was adopted unanimously. POLICEMEN ON TRIAL One Charged Clubbing a Whole Family Five Assault Cases Out of Fifteen. Five of the fifteen patrolmen brought up on charges before Deputy Commissioner Ebstein to day were charged with assault.

Tower of 556 Herkimer street, Mrs. Towor and their 15 year old daughter, Hazel. Hughes admitted striking Mrs.

You were here two weeks ago on the same I will impose a fine of four days' pay and And you a place wnere, pernaps, you can do better patrol duty," said Major Ebstein. The case of Patrolman John F.

Olmsted. Roy. N. 1. ANNIVERSARY DAY HOLIDAY.

Question of Granting One This Year Re mains Undecided Objection to Closing i Schools on Thursday. Whether the Hoard of Education will grant a holiday on Anniversary Day or not ihls year litis still 10 oe deemed. At tne ine'euus last week no action was taken upon the re quest nf the Western District Sunday School Association, as Vice President Rauhoit failed to bring the matter up lor consideration. The Heard of Superintendents, it was thought, tnipht grant the holiday, but their right to do1 so has been questioned. The request is that the Easlern District; schools shall clase on the afternoon of and the Western District school on the fol i lowing afternoon.

In a le moments he 'lived again and for neailv a mile everything went without a hitch." To show how perfectly he could man Age her the captain swung her to the port and starboard and back straight on her course, just as easily as he had been above vat or and hart his course marked off. There was all indicator by his side to show just ire deep "he. in.1k p.tcr to show his speed and a compass by which he could steer any course he cared lo take through the dark boso r. of the sea. It was wonderful to those aboard who had never gone down before.

It was enough to make one's heart thump when the boat would turn its nose down and sink iike a plummet of lead and the light that had shown pale and greenish through the glass covered port holes would give way to a darker green until there was darkness without. Inside the boat the electric lights were turned on as soon as the change was made from the. gasoline which are used for surface motive power, to the electric engines that are used for submerged work. A Slight Leak. Repaired'.

After ten minutes beneath the surface a little stream of water began to trickle through around the captain's head. The Fulton was lenkir.tr. It was something that happened before and no cno of the crew was Alarmed. A valve from an air tank wan opened and the water in the mining tanks was spouted skyward. The rubber gasket that fits between the canning tower and its cover, like the' rubber washer on fruit jars, was partly worn and lot the water trickle through.

This was. 5900 repaired, but the boat had to rise twice more before Ji worked After that the submerged run was made without any hitch. The naval officers aboard were much impressed. Off L' ng Branch the boat rose to the surface, the iower v. aa opened, the ventilator was put up and the Fulton went Hying southward tm the tcirfa'c of the water with about nine tenths of her body under water.

Elder before he could get down to business on the ease He spent the time in I the interim over the minute book of the club, which he later put in evidence, and the membership roll, the tickets that had been made cut for members who had not yet claimed them, and the gambling paraphernalia that was found at the time of the raid on the place by Druhan's officers, four days after the gambling specification. The roil contained, among others, the name of Howard Could of Manhattan, but he had not called for the ticket that would admit him to the place. Tner 'here is a very general allegation that the swvrk Cluo was orsanized solely for (. 1 Bcs gambling purposes, even if it is incorporated under the laws of the state. The minute nook showed that its incorporation was in hut its activities as a club do not seem to have been so very marked until after the raid on Minden's and other places in the Eastern District.

The club was, according to the most interesting minute book, only nvelve pages of ivhich were written up, reorganise 1 four months ago. The twelve pages of the bork conlnin the voluminous constitution and bylaws of the club, taking up ever so many pages: the report of the meeting on reorganization, which take nearly all of the twelve that follow, and the minutes of the three last meetings, which are till crowded into page, 't'he last meeting was on April 12. and here, according 10 the story eu the book, is what occurred: "The fourth monthly meeiing was held on Saturday.

'1 here was a rale that no intoxicated person should be allowed in the club house and that there ghniild bo no intoxicating fluid permitted in ihe rooms of the club on Sundays. The reorganization showed that the officers chosen were: Charles Alnwick, president: 'William Law. vice president; R. H. Brown, financial secretary: William Osborn.

recording secretary; Dorson Alnwick, treasurer: George Payet. treasurer. In opening the proceedings Mr. Whitlock moved that the case should be dismissed on the ground that the club was a duly incorporated one and that under the section of the code upon which the proceedings were brought it was not possible 10 charge the officers of an incorporated club with the offense charged as having taken place in the club house. Gut Mr.

Elder opposed the motion to dismiss, citing law in his favor, and Magistrate Nostrand held with the Assistant District Attorney. The hearing then wen: on and the first witness called was A. J.
