bank people, who did not care to have such funny business played in such serious matters, called Brennan to account for It. Hockman was informed that there was no issuance of worthless paper in the case, for it was plainly a Joke. But Brennan, called to account by the bank people, made the account good to Hockman. Brennan laughed over the episode when Complaint Clerk Eilperin of the court called his attention to the matter this morning. IMPORTANT NOTICE.

Several of the Brooklyn Aldermen to day took pains to deny that they belonged either to the "chickens" or the "mechanics," the two combines which, according to a Democratic member of the board, were formed last summer for the purpose of holding up the Pennsylvania Railroad tunnel franchise. They were also emphatic in their denials of any "gorilla" connections. "It's getting to be almost as much as a man's reputation is worth to oppose a measure in the board," said one' Alderman. "If a man opposes a proposition honestly he is attacked and if he favors it honestly he Is attacked. What is he going to do about it?" Said one Alderman who voted to grant the tunnel franchise when It was before the board: "I'm mighty glad that I was on the right side this time.

I suppose that if it were not a matter of record that I voted in favor of the franchise my friends would be putting me down as a 'mechanc' who had never served his time, or as a rather antiquated As for the I have met men of that stripe but I'm not doing business with them."

One of a kind, AT ONE HALF OF ORIGINAL PRICES Miss Louise Benjamin Said the Young Man Had Sold Her a Stolen Watch. SO RAYMOND" WAS CAUGHT. And What Detectives Had Been Trying to Do for Weeks Was Accomplished Man Is Held.

"Why, that is the man who sold me a stolen watch," said Miss Louise Benjamin or 469 Lafayette avenue as she was out walking last night with her friend, Clarence W. Burger, In Bedford avenue, near Gates. Then she fervently pinched the young man's arm as she pointed out the person in question and Mr. Burger started in pursuit of the fellow. After quite a sharp chase Burger caught up with the fugitive and took him to the Classon avenue station house, where he was placed under arrest.

The prisoner gave his name as Arthur Raymond and his age as 19 years. He is said to he the son of a superintendent of the Merritt Chapman Derrick and Wreckage Company, who is employed in the Manhattan office of the company. According to the police, Raymond, on August 6 last, was boarding at 88A Third place. Among other boarders in the sanu; house were Frederick Nachbauer and G. B.

Rams kill. On the date named, it Is alleged that Raymond had a fight in the street witn some young man of abotit his own age. Then he went back to the Third place house and disappeared. On the following day was sent to the Butler street station house and a list was furnished by two of the boarders of articles missing, as follows: Frederick Nachbauer, woman's gold hunting case watch, black leather mounted pair ot opera glasses, valued at from $10 to $20; a $5 bill and a razor. G.

B. Ramskill, a pair of shoes, two pounds of quicksilver and a gold watch valued at $25. The articles amounted in value to over $100. On August 7 Detective Oscar J. Finn of the Butler street station, who had been assigned to the case, traced Raymond to a flat at Cole street and Hamilton avenue, where, it is said, the young man had been making love to the janitor's daughter.

It is also said that just before Detective Finn reached the scene of action there had been a proposal of marriage and that the indignant young girl's father had shown his disapproval of the idea by ordering Raymond out of the house. That was the last seen of the young man by those most anxious to meet him until last night. But in the meantime Detective Finn had allowed no grass to grow under his feet and he had traced a watch which answered to the description of that lost by Mr. Ramskill to Miss Louise. Benjamin, a stenographer employed In the Merritt Chapman Company's office.

Miss Benjamin, it appears, was an innocent holder of the property, and when Detective Finn called at her place of business he found that she was off on her vacation. He called a second time, but she had not returned. Then he left the number of Mr. Remskill's watch, which was found to correspond with that in Miss Benjamin's possession. From what the police say.

It would seem that young Raymond worked at intervals in the office where his father was engaged, and that was the way in which he met Miss Benjamin and sold her the watch. During the chase last night, in which Raymond was run down by Mr. Burger, the former, it is alleged, threw away a silver watch. When he was searched at the Classon avenue station house, three gold rings were found concealed In his underwear. Detective Michael J.

Connolly was placed on the case, and he it was who. made the complaint before Magistrate Dooley, in the Myrtle avenue court, to day. Detective Finn was present to add his testimony to the charge made against Raymond. It was at first intended to charge him with grand larceny, but he was finally held in $300 hail on a charge of vagrancy SPECIAL BROADWAY I2TH STREET, N. Y.

VESTRYMEN WERE SURPRISED. Senior Member of That Body Says the Letter of Resignation Was a Confidential One. The Rev. Dr. George F.

Breed, whose resignation as rector of St. John's Episcopal Church was announced in yesterday's Eagle, declines to state his reasons for resigning. These reasons are his own affair, he says. The members of the vestry who received his resignation at a vestry meeting Tuesday night say that what transpired at that meeting was confidential and they are mystified over the publication of his resignation. "My reasons for resigning are my own affair," said Dr.

Breed this morning. "I've got no statement whatever to make." "Is it true that you intend to go abroad for a year?" the reporter asked. "You can publish that i you want to," was his reply. "That's what I told the other reporters who came here. The newspapers don't publish the facts, even when they can get them.

A paper distorted an interview with my wife yesterday." "Well, is it true that you resigned to go abroad?" the reporter asked. "I don't know whether I am going abroad or not. "What right has anybody got to demand that I make up my mind in fifteen minutes as to what I am going to do?" When told that It was a common thing for rectors resigning a charge to announce their reason for doing so, Dr. Breed replied: "Well, that's not my way." Asked if he resigned to take another charge he said: "In all human probability I will fill another pulpit. There are vacancies, and I won't say that I will not be called or will not be a candidate." The publication as coming from Mrs.

Breed, which Dr. Breed said was distorted by a paper, was to the effect that the doctor resigned because of ill health and would travel in Europe or in the South and West. When a vestryman was asked If Dr. Breed's health could have anything to do with his resignation he smiled and said: "He doesn't look at all like an invalid, does he?" As a matter of fact. Dr.

Breed is a man of athletic build, and Is apparently enjoying the best of health. E. I. Horsman, senior vestryman of St. John's, said to an Eagle reporter to day: "Dr.

Breed handed his resignation to the vestry Tuesday night. We were all very greatly surprised. His communication is confidential. We took no action on it and adjourned until next Tuesday evening, when we will act on it. I went to Philadelphia yesterday, and was astounded when I returned last night and saw in the Eagle the announcement the resignation.

I do not know how it got out. I cannot say why Dr. Breed has resigned. I know that he has at various times spoken to personal friends of a preference for a suburban charge. It might be that he, intends to take a suburban charge, but I do not know that it Is so.

There are several vacancies in this diocese. I have thought of Mr. Carter's resignation from the Church the Redeemer. That may possibly have had something to do with Dr. Breed's action.

Also, there is Dr. Mc Connell's place, at Trinity, that Is now vacant. "There is no trouble in the church. Dr. Breed has been our rector for fifteen years.

He is not dissatisfied in any way. He has resigned, and is, I suppose, anxious that his resignation be accepted. He can best tell you what his intentions are." Dr. Breed, who is a graduate from Cornell, Berkeley and St. John's College, at Annapolis, came to St.

John's fifteen years ago, from Asbury Park. St. John's, which is the oldest Episcopal church in Brooklyn, then had a floating debt of $20,000, in addition to the mortgage debt of $40,000. The floating debt has been paid off. and the mortgage debt has been slightly decreased.

GENERAL KING NOMINATED To Run for Congress in the SevenfE Eis trict on the Republican Ticket Germans Ratify To night. General Horatio C. King was nominated for Congress in the Seventh District last night by the Republicans. He was until four or five years ago an old time Democrat and ran for Secretary of State on the Democratic ticket in 1895, scoring the largest vote in the list of candidates that year. In 1896, however, General King voted for William McKinley and followed this by an announcement two years later that he had become a Republican for good.

General King is a prominent lawyer and for years trained with such men as the late General Slocum. He was a quartermaster general In the Army of the Potomac during the Civil War. The nomination was made hy a committee appointed hy the Republican convention at a meeting held at the office of Assemblyman John Hill Morgan. On the committee, beside Mr. Morgan, were William E.

S. Fales, James McKenna, Emil P. Perkin and Samuel Greason. The Seventh District is heavily Democratic, but the Republicans believe General King has some chance of election. He has a great many friends in the Heights section.

No nomination has yet been made by the Republicans in the Second Congressional District. A meeting of the committee was held this morning, but an adjournment was taken until to morrow. Dr. George James is to be nominated for the Senate in the Fifth District by the Republicans. The first gun of the Republican campaign in the Eastern District will be fired this evening by the German American Benjamin B.

Odell League at Arion Hall, Wall street. Prominent Germans from all sections of the borough will make addresses, and a large number of societies have informed the committee in charge that they will attend In a body. In order to facilitate the work the executive committee has appointed a campaign committee consisting of Messrs. Edward H. M.

Roehr, chairman; Charles T. Harta helm. William Schnitzspan, Henry Welsrnan, Frank F. Schultz, Jacob Neu, John H. Schumann, Ludwig Nissen, Henry C.

Deck, Ernest F. DIstler, Nicholas Flocken. Eugene Vogt, Frank H. Vogt, Carl A. Evertz, Adam E.

Fisher, Francis A. Deck, Henry C. Fisher, Henry Ritting, Frank Schaller and Herman Schwickart. This committee will be enlarged from time to time upon recommendation of its members. An appeal addressed to all German voters is being prepared, and will be sent broadcast in a few days.

At a meeting of the German American Club, held last night at Turn Hall, Sixteenth street, .1 branch of the League was organized for South Brooklyn. Bela Tokaji was elected president. The members of the new organization will assemble at Turn Hall, at 7:30 o'clock this evening, and go in a body to Arion Hall. There will be a campaign meeting at the Twelfth Assembly District Club House tonight to be addressed by Lieutenant Governor' Woodruff, Silas B. Dutcher and Sheriff Dike.

William Drennen, a lawyer and an enrolled Democrat, living at 93 Hart street, has written to the Republican campaign committee, offering his ser' ices as a speaker. He is disgusted with the nomination of Coler. To morrow will be the first of the registration days, and the Republicans are working to get out all the voters. Arrangements for the Clermont avenue mass meeting, at which Governor Odell is to speak, have not yet been completed. District Attorney Thinks the Youthful Real Estate Operator Collected About $80,000.

PRISONER IS COOL IN COURT. Ha May Be Indicted on a Charge of Grand Larceny and Not for Forgery. Ronald S. Brennan. the nrwest of the young Napoleons of Finance, who has been running a real estate business in the Real Estate Exchange and showing much pernicious activity.

District Attorney Clarke, says, in collecting money from certain staid financial institutions on worthless property, tvae held for the Grand Jury this morning by Magistrate Tighe in the Adams street court on the charge of forgery. The specific complaint against him is that he connived at the forgery of the name of Daniel Wynant and that of a notary public to a satisfaction piece for a mortgage on the property. 94 Lafayette avenue, and on that complaint James YV. Ridgway said that his client would waive examination in the lower court. Magistrate Tighe then held the accused for the action of the Grand Jury.

The tiny and juvenile prisoner, who had failed to produce the $20,000 bail asked for hie temporary liberty, was taken back to Jail' and it is not likely that he will get bail before the day of trial. District Attorney Clarke figures out from facts in his possession that Brennan has something like planted away somewhere. 'The total amount of money loaned to this young man. or through this young man, in a very short lime aggregates something like $80,000," said Mr. Clarke thia morning.

"Of course, I am not sure of the exact amount nor can any one tell Just now what it will be. But these transactions do not spread much over a year and he could not possibly have spent all of the money he collected. V.o have some of his bank books, a number imionri and we have traced many of his financial transactions. But the totalJ amount of the bogus eatistaction pieces iu" have been recorded in the Register office may not as yet have been discovered. "This young man was very active in securing loans of money.

The number of transactions that have come to us will show this. But there are so many cases that I have been compelled to tell people who come to me with their tales of woe about this man that I cannot attend to all of them. "We purpose taking one or two sample cases. We have six that are in pretty good shape. But I have been compelled, as I tell you, to turn some people who have come to me with in lormation about these crooked transactions away from my office.

I have not time to look them all up. "We have the young man dead to rights in several of the cases and we must be satisfied with that. But it would be just as well for people who have had real estate dealingse with Brennan to look out for their holdings. Every case in which he was engaged that we have" looked into so far has been crooked. I cannot tell how many of these bogus transactions he has been engaged in.

But he borrowed money from a number' of financial institutions in a very short time. "How about the savings banks, Mr. Clarke?" the District Attorney was asked. "I think it is safe to say that all classes of financial Institutions, with the exception, of course, of the national banks, have been approached by Mr. Brennan.

It is true that there are savings banks that have loaned money to him on these pieces of property, but I would rather not tell you which they are. It may not be necessary at all to bring them into this thing and they are not anxious to have the publicity. Ve have enough. Lord knows, to bring this matter into court and to make a good case against the young man. "I do not think we shall indict him for forgery," proceeded Mr.

Clarke, "for forgery, you know, requires a lot of evidence and this is such a clear ease that we do not think it will be necessary to go very far for proof of guilt. I have rather an idea that he will have to confront a charge of grand larceny when he is brought into court. We shall show his connection with these money borrowing transactions and we expect to show that he got the long green as a result of these transactions. We can prove that by deposits in the bank corresponding with them and by the checks that he deposited." "Was there any attempt to imitate the real signatures in thesi bogus satisfaction rieces?" asked the reporter. "Yes." replied Mr.

Clarke, "and I'll explain to you how that was done." The District Attorney plunged both hands into a deep box in his office, a box stuffed with documents, bank books, deeds, cancelled cheeks, affidavits and photographs. He said that everything in the box pertained to the Brennan case. Then he fished out a photograph of the satisfaction piece in the case of the house and lot at 94 Lafayette avenue, a satisfaction piece that was alleged to have been given by Daniel Wynant to Dr. Heatley for the lien of $5,500 on the premises. The extraction of the photograph was followed with that of a receipt for interest given hy Mr.

Wynant and bearing Mr. Wynant's real signature. "You see." proceeded Mr. Clarke, "when this property hands to the man Stanton, whoever hu might have been, the receipts for the payments on the mortgage were given to Stantion with the deeds. It was' easy to get Mr.

Wynant's real signature in this way. Here genuine, as you may see. signed 'D. Now here is the bogus, with the signature 'Daniel a very good attempt at the genuine but clearly a forgery. You will note that the form of Mr.

Wynant's signature is nicely simulated, so well done, in that when I showed it to Mr. Wynant himself he was lost in admiration of the skill displayed. Imitations may have been secured in the way in other cases, but this one is a clear one. Mr. Wynant js a clear headed business man and he never signed a satisfaction piece for money that he had never paid.

I think that we have a pretty clear case against the prisoner." Mr. Clarke would have nothing to say about the possibility of young Brennan having confederates, but he did intimate that he would very much like to see the elusive Stanton." He would pay not that he suspected that Mr. Stanton and Mr. Brennan were one. but lie intimated that there was a remarkable similarity between the signature of "Mr.

Stanton" on the check for 55,000 that was given hy Morton as cash for the mortgage on the already mortgaged house on Lafayette avenue and that of voung Mr. Brennan. who is languishing in Jail. Brennan did not show much of the evil effect of prison life when he was arraigned in court this morning. His hair was not so neatly trimmed and combed, his blazing diamond horseshoe pin had disappeared and so had his diamond emblems of the order of Elks.

But he was chipper and dapper as usual and he had nothing to say to a number of reporters who wanted him to make a "statement." He had been warned by his counsel to keep his mouth shut and he managed to do so very well. Brennan was asked this morning about, a transaction that seemed to have given him a great deal of amusement. Some days before he was arrested for the greater offense a man visited the Adams street police court and asked for a warrant for his arrest on a change of having issued a worthless check. The applicant was Michael Hockman of liG Myrtle avenue, who said that Brennan. for whom he had done some carpenter work, had given him a worthless check for $50.

Hockman had been dunning Brennan for what he owed him and he went, as he explained, to his office, in the Real Estate, building, to get the money. He found Brennan and got a check drawn on the Borough Bank for the full amount. He did not notice the particularly, nor did man to whom he paid it over for some other debt notice it until the Borough Bank returned it with the indorsement, "N'o good." Then the signature was examined more closely. There was no signature of Brennan at all, but in the place where the drawer'. name should he was this: R.

Another." It was written clearly enough by Brennan, and the KKIilSTKll TO MORROW. Tn ii)rrow ix the llrHt ly of regiit tra( ion. You onn reginler any lime lietneeii I lie hours of 7 A. 31. anil lO M.

Speaking of the progress being made in street improvements in Brooklyn to day. Public Works Commissioner Redfield said that there is more work under way than the contractors can attend to.

"If the Board of Estimate were to allow me 510,000,000 for improvements in Brooklyn to morrow," said Mr. Redfield, "I could not find a contractor who would undertake a job. The contractors are rushed with corporation work and they have their hands full. Much of the work under way how will be finished before, the end of the year. For next year we are planning a number of original improvements, which will keep us busy from January to December." TARIFF REFORM IMPLIED.

Senator Aldrich's State Platform Admits There May Be Cause for Change. Indorses Roosevelt. Providence, R. October 9 In a short, harmonious convention to day the Republic ans of Rhode Island nominated a state ticket and Congress candidates. The state ticket nominated was as follows: Governor Charles Dean Kimball, Providence.

Lieutenant governor George L. Shepley. Secretary of state Charles P. Bennett. Attorney general Charles F.

Stearns, Providence. General treasurer Walter A. Read, Gloucester. The nominations for Congress were: First District, Melville Bull of Newport; Second District, Adin P. Capron of Smithfield.

The platform says: "We record our unreserved approval of the administration of President Roosevelt and commend his faithful fulfillment of the pledge given to the people to further and carry out the aims and plans of the lamented statesman whom he succeeded. Especially do we approve his wise attitude with reference to our relations with the new Republic of Cuba. We declare here our conviction that his record as the nation's Executive merits for him the nomination for president in 1904. "We reaffirm our belief in the wisdom of the American protective system. Stability of wise economic policy is essential to our continued industrial prosperity.

While insisting upon this stability of policy, we do not fail to recognize the fact that new or changed industrial conditions may naturally lead, from time to time, to a readjustment of tariff rates. All questions can be safely left to the judgment of a Republican Congress. "We recognize the tendency in this age of increased competition to the formation of consolidated corporations of large capital, commonly but erroneously called trusts, and in so far as they result in the prosecution of business at lessened expense, with cheaper prices to the people, they should not be condemned. The evils growing out of such aggregations of capital should be summarily dealt with by legislative action." GENERAL WEBB RESIGNS. To Retire From the Presidency of the College of the City of Mew York on December 1.

General Alexander S. Webb, president of the College of the City of New York, has tendered his resignation to the trustees of that institution and he will be retired on December 1.

President Webb sent his resignation to the board of trustees of the City College last Friday and asks that it take effect on December 1. It will now be necessary for the trustees to fill the vacancy during the next few weeks and all of the available candidates for the place are being canvassed.

While no selection as yet has been made, the trustees to a man are of the opinion that the college should have a young man at its head, whose desire will be to build up the institution as soon as it moves uptown to its new quarters. Chief among the many candidates named for the vacancy at the present time are City Superintendent of Schools William H. Maxwell. Professor Charles Heberman of the City College, Principal Walter B. Gunnison of Hall High School, Dr.

Henry Leip ziger, superintendent of free lectures, and a number ot proiessors in mnuui uncgua. MAW DISAPEABEB ON AUGUST 31. The police of the Bedford avenue station have been asked to look for Terrence Gallagher. 32 years old. who disappeared from his home, 252 Wythe avenue, on August 31.

He left the house that morning, saying he was going to church and nothing has since been heard of him. He is described as being tall, with dark hair and eyes and was dressed in a white striped blue suit, black derby hat and laced shoes. INDEX To Classified Advertisements in Today's Eagle.

Justice Clarke and jury in the Supreme Court, Manhattan, to day, began taking testimony in a suit brought by a number of nieces of the late Charlotte Miller to have set aside her will, hy which she bequeathed the bulk of her $100,000 estate to the wife of Police Captain Schultz.
