bv in by of PUNGHEO ATHfiELL'S GLII8 He Says That Senator Rudolph C. Fuller Struck Him Without Provocation. HAS A MARK OVER HIS EYE. Festivities Incidental to Entertaining Some Police Officers Enlivened by a Fight. As the result of a striking incident, which occurred Saturday night, at the Henry E.

Abell Club, State Senator Rudolph C. Fuller of the Sixth District is in danger of becoming a defendant in an action for $10,000 dam ages. Wilbur H. Hendrickson, editor of the South Brooklyn Local Gazette, says he ex pects to be the plaintiff in the suit, because he was one of the principals in the. Incident.

As further evidence that he has cause for action, Mr. Hendrickson points to a gash over his right eye to day, which he Bays was inflicted by Senator Fuller's clenched right fist. The Henry E. Abell Republican Club is housed in a four story brick building at 435 Ninth street, just around the corner from Seventh avenue and next door to Acme Hall, in tho basement of which is located the club's cafe. The club is named for Henry E.

Abell, lately retired from the position of police commissioner by an act of the Legislature, and has a number of police officials as members. Among the latter are Captain Buchanan and Sergeant Harrington, who were recently promoted. Properly to celebrate the event, Mr. Abell and his friends planned an entertainment which was held at the club house Saturday. To honor further the two officers, their fellow clubmen presented to them handsome clubs, caps and belts, which cost altogether $180.

It was while this presentation was in progress in the front parlor of the club house in the presence of 100 of the members, that Senator Fuller is alleged to have struck Editor Hendrickson. According to the editor, he was seated between two friends in the back parlor at about 9:30 o'clock when the Senator from the Sixth District strolled in. accompanied by Samuel Mos'scrop, chief of the Third District in Commissioner Waldo's records office. He stood a moment or two in the center of the room to tell in a brief speech what he intended to do, and then, it is saia, let ny witn his clenched right, catch ing Mr. Hendrickson over the rlirhf eve In v.

The blow sent Editor Wendi tnir son's silk hat spinning across the room, while his ciEar flew In the "You're a loafer to strike a man trlin ho is siuing down," shouted one of Hendrick son's friends. A few minutes later and Sen ator Fuller left the club house, accompanied uy iviussuroo. I was asked by Mr. Abel! not.

When I recovered I saw a crowd gathered around Fuller. Some of my friends expressed a desire to punch his head off. I simply put. on my hat, which had been knocked off, and picked up my cigar. Of course, I received much sympathy from those who had witnessed the assault Mr.

Hendrickson said that he knew of no reason why Senator Fuller should have been incensed against him, unless it was because he had supported Walter C. Burton, who ran for Senator in opposition to Mr. Fuller. "I do not know just what effect my oppos ing the man had." he said, "but I know the Twenty second WaTd was carried by McKin tey oy wane it was lost to FUiler by 120. It is true that while I was printing an adver tisement worded 'Vote for Rudolph Fuller lor senator, 1 was also printing editorials opposing Fuller.

The advertisement was paid for by the Campaign Committee." George N. Buchanan, chairman of the house committee of the Henry E. Abell Republican Club, said this afternoon that no action had been taken to have Senator Fuller resign from the club and no steps would probahlj be tatien witn tnat onject in view. "The old man was just ia. tVe act of Dre senting the baton to Captedo Buchanan when the fracas occurred," he said.

"Things were lively for a few moments only. Fuller was a little noisy. It was only an incident, though, and not worth talking about." Samuel Mosscrop said that he had visited the Abell with Senator Fuller, but he had seen no blows struck by anybody. "The Senator and I had been down In the cafe. We did visit the back parlor, in fact, we went all over the club house, but I did not see any blows struck.

a of of of FROM THE METROPOLITAN Says He Assisted Whitney Syrv dicate in Getting Cross town Roads. NOT COMPENSATED, HE SAYS. Complaint in a Suit Not Yet Served, but Papers Have Been Prepared. Papers have been prepared for a big suit which ex Street Cleaning Commissioner Hans S. Beattie is about to bring against the Metropolitan Street Railway Company for services performed In securing control of the Thirty fourth Street Ferry and Eleventh Avenue and the Twenty eighth and Twentj' ninth Street Railroad companies.

The complaint has not been served, but may be this afternoon. The claim amounts to Mr. Beattie's lawyer is ex Police Commissioner Andrew D. Parker. When he was asked about the matter to day, he said he did not care to discuss it for publication until the summons and complaint had been served.

As early as 18S0 Mr. Beattie was associated with William C. Whitney in the organization of the County Democracy, of which they were really the founders. As a result of the or ganization of the party Mr. Whitney became Corporation Counsel, and Beattie first Dep uty County Clerk, Surveyor of the Port under Cleveland and evontuully Street Cleaning Commissioner under Mayor Grant.

In the early SO's tho means of crosstown communication below Twenty third streel were very inadequate. There was scarcely a street railroad crossing Manhattan downtown. The County Democracy politicians went to work to secure franchises. John Keenan, la the Common Council, was the active legislative end of the combine, with whom Beatty, Hubert O. Thompson, the leader of the County Democracy; Gilbert M.

Spier and David D. Connors were associated. Among the franchises they secured were for railroads on Chambers street, Fulton, Wall and Cortland street; the Thirty fourth Street Ferry and Eleventh avenue and Twenty eighth and Twenty ninth street railroads, with routes pretty much as the names of the companies indicate. Beattie was made secretary of most of them, and had possession of all the resords. Keenan, the legislative end of the combine, later was accused of boodling and fled to OUnada.

Beattie's hands seem to have been clean and he was about the only man who knew ail about the stock and stockholders of the various companies. About this time a fight began for the contest of the street railroad system of old New York. The Houston, West street and Pavo nia Ferry Kailroad Company, which was the successor ot the Avenuo road, built about 1S75, was bought out by the Widener EIkins syndicate from Philadelphia and Mr. Whitney represented them here. Through Whitney and Beattie they secured the Chambers street rond, and Whitney entered the syndicate.

They later bought the Broadway, Sev eath "venue and South Ferry route and a ue.i;vvf. .1 The Third Avenue Road was a dangerous rival for supremacy.

CITY CLUB'S POLICE BILL.

Idea Suggested in 1895 May Be Carried Out to Relieve the Situation. Albany, March 11 Senator Raines was hero this morning, but declined to discus the position of the proposed constabulary blU or li.i probable passage. Governor Odell was also in town, but he also refused to talk.

It is remembered that Mio City Club proposed a bill providing Ibat "within ten days the Governor shall appoint three persons, rosUents of the City ot New York, who hall be known as commissioners for the reorganization of the Police Department of the City of Vork. "Said commissioners shall hold office for throe months, but their time may bo extended if it is found necessary. The commissioners shall meet within ten days after their appointment and organize. 'They will then, in conjunction with th? superintendent of police, proceed to weed out such officers who, through testimony presented or otherwise, have been ascertained lo be unfit to hold the positions they now possess. The commissioners are elvon power to call for books, papers and persons, and ihey shall each receive $5,000 for their services."

If Brenz's Brother, in "Whose Name Money Was Held, Is Dead, Then Forgery Has Been Committed. This morning Magistrate Flammer, in th Essex Market Court, Manhattan, discharged Herman J. Bronz, who appeared in the Eldridge street station last night and said that he ought to be locked up because ho was a forger. Ho walked into the station of his own accord and made a confession to Captain Walsh. II, said that his parents.

William and Froderlca Bronz, died ten years ago, leaving in the Wllliamsburgh Savings Bank. The. money wits to be equally divided among himself, his brother, John A. and tho two daughters of William, another brother, who died four years previous to his parents. The man said that he became administrator of the estate end by forging tho names of the others ho withdrew ail the monoy but a few dollars.

He said he had squandered the money that be thus drew. J. V. Meserole, president of the Williams burgh Savings Bank, had heard nothing of the matter except what lie had seen In the papers until an Eagle reporter visited him this morning. His statement of tnt Xa differs In a number of ways from that of Erenz.

He says that Herman Brenz was never made administrator of the estate. The sum of $3,000 was deposited at the bank in 1893. John A. Brenz was appointed administrator of the estate. On the very day t.hut he qualified as administrator.

April 24. 18'J3, he drew out Subsequent drafts havo been made on the original $3,000 until now about $10 only remains as a balance. General Meserole does not know whether or not there has been forgery. The money was drawn out under the name of John A. Brenz.

The last draft was made on 29, 1901). It was signed by John Gustavo Brenz. who was appointed administrator of the estate. Mr. Meserole states that if John A.

Brenz is dead It is said he died live years ugo a forgery has been committed. As to that he cannot at present say. If John has been dead for live years or has been dead since last May, then there has been forgery, as money has been drawn under his name since mat time. The other drafts were as follows: October 29, 189.1. $20; May 23.

1893, $100; May 27. 1899. $250; October 21. 1S99. $300; December S.

The bank officials deny this, saying that there has been only one administrator and ho was the brother of the man who last night declared that, he was a forger. They have had no notification of the demise of tha administrator. The man was discharged in court thU morning because nobody appeared lo prose out.e him.
