Woodruff Finds Smith and Brenner Geninl Other Advisers Discarded. Ex-Lieutenant Governor Timothy L. Woodruff has found his occasional conferences with Chairman Brenner and Secretary Smith, 'of the Republican Executive Committee, so stimulating and Illuminating that he has called another one for this afternoon. There was some talk to-day of the need of Introducing Mr. Woodruff to Mr.

Lalmbeer, Mr. Williams and other members of the Executive Committee, who have not had the pleasure of greeting the county leader for some time. This talk, however. Is confined to the rampant adherents of Colonel Dady, who see much to criticise in Mr. Woodruff's absence from Brooklyn, while blind to the fact that the Colonel finds the winter so pleasant In Havana that ho has tut in practically all the, present, year there.

The apologists for the Colonel say, however, that as Mr. Dady has been lormally relegated to the rear by Mr. Woodruff the Colonel's presence is hardly necessary. There was some talk to-day among "members of the Executive Committee of a resolution of inquiry that may be submitted at the next meeting. The purpose of the meeting is to find out why the organization was authorized to move its headquarters Into the Temple Bar Building without any action by the Executive Committee.

Detectives recovered the rig several hours later.

The horse had started on a run through North Tenth street, and would have gone overboard, but for Frank Lortz, a watchman, of 70 Kent avenue, who stopped It. He put the rig In a nearby stable and reported his capture to a pollcemau. SAFE FOR A WEEK OR TWO. Charities Building on Livingston Street Not to Be Demolished Just Now. The officials of the Charities Department, whose public office in Livingston street, near Boeruni place, is threatened with demolition by the man who bought thirty feet of Its frontage at a city Bale, are hopeful that something will be done very soon to provide them with quarters.

It was said to-day at the Charities building that Mr. Levlno. who bought the frontage, had sought possession of his property many times. The notion seemed to prevail, however, (hat ns he had not moved the material away within the limit of time set by law, he might be stopped by the city If he arbitrarily attempted to dismantle the building now. In any event, there is no likelihood drastic action before March 1.

CEREMONY TEN DAYS AGO. It Was Performed at the Residence of A. S.

Barnes, a Brother of the Bride. Mrs. Lillian Barnes Allien, the Brooklyn woman who jumped into notoriety through the developments that followed the death of he late Pierre Lorillard, waa married again ill Brooklyn nearly ten days ago. The mar riage occurred at the home of Mrs. Allien's brother.

Alfred S. Barnes, the publisher, at 035 Prospect place. The secret of this second marriage of Mrs. Allien was well kept until last night, when some one In Mount Holly, N. gave the tip away.

The bridegroom Is George Livingston, a member of the famous Livingston family, of New York, and the reform politician who was Commissioner of Public Works under Mayor Low. Mr. Livingston is now a broker at 20 Broad street, and a member of the Consolidated Stock Exchange. The marriage of Mrs. Barnes Allien to George Livingston was not a great surprise to the people who have been watching the course of their friendship for the last few years.

Livingston was a frequent visitor at Rancocas Farm, the great stock farm In New Jersey bequeathed by old Pierre Lorillard to Mrs. Allien. The sensation that stirred society to its depths centered around Rancocas. and the name of the famous farm has been often before the public since 1901, when the farm passed into Mrs. Allien's posses sion.

Alfred S. Barnes confirmed the story of the wedding in the following statement: 'The ceremony took place on February at my residence, 1035 Prospect place, Brooklyn. It was a very simple and quiet wedding. Only my Immediate family and my brother. Charles W.

Barnes, attended, Mr. Livingston's sister aud mother being 111. My sister and her husband spent a few days here In New York I don't care to say where and left to-day for the South. I know nothing of their plans. I think they will spend some time In Florida, and afterward stay a while on some property my sister owns in Southern Georgia, near the Florida line, I can't, say whether they will spend any time at Rancocas farm.

Ultimately Mr. Livingston and my sister will take a house and make their home In New York. My sister and Mr. Livingston had been engaged for about a year. Mrs.

Livingston Is 40 years old, Mr. Livingston, I under stand, 49." Mrs. Lillian Barnes Allien Livingston was formerly Lillian Barnes, of the Brooklyn family of that name. She was well con neeted in a social way. 8he married Louis Allien, who died, while still a young man.

After that Mrs. Allien lived wUh her father, John C. Barnes. It Is said that she met Pierre Lorillard about 1890. through her sister-in-law.

The old millionaire learned to care a great deal for the dashing Mrs. Allien. They became almost inseparable. She was with him on frequent cruises in his palatial house boat, and accompanied him on several trips to Europe. He gave her many valuable presents, including the house at 11 East Thirty- nfth street, where she lived for a long time with her father, and where Lorillard boarded when he was In town.

There have been stories that Lorillard, who was separated from his wife, and estranged from his family, gave- Mrs. Allien great sums of money, ag gregating millions of dollars. When he fell 111 In Paris. In 1901. Mrs.

Al lien rushed to his side in response to a cablegram. She brought him home and nursed him In the Fifth Avenue Hotel. Efforts to reconcile him to his wife and children were thwarted by tho presence of Mrs. Allien, who was supposed to be a trained nurse from Bellevue. It was published afterward that Mrs.

Lorillard went to the hotel to make friends with her dying husband, but when she saw Mrs. Allien there she turned back aud went to Southampton, refusing to the last to have a reconciliation. The will of Lorillard left the Rancocas Farm of 1.S00 acres and a great string of norses to Mrs. Allien. Mrs.

Allien startod in on a career as a racing woman. Yoang Pierre Lorillard resented her ventures on the track and managed to save the Lorillard colors for his own stable. Livingston and Mrs. Allien have been close friends for many -years. MISS H0WLAND IS SILENT.

Evarts Tracy, Mrs. Lewis was (he first witness; she tes tified (hat her maiden name was Sarah Dickinson, and that she and her daughter now lived at 251 West Elghty-sevenh slrect, "We had lived at tho Plaza Hotel with Mr. Itwis, prior to our separation, and for tho finishing of my daughter's education she went to a private school nt Yonkers, and her education is now complete."

Identified Him as the Schroeder Robber and Called a Policeman He Tells His Own Story. The police think they did pretty well in catching Harold Holland yesterday afternoon through the agency of a little negress and Policeman Seidler, of the Adams street station.

Harold may be perfectly innocent of the dreadful things said about him, and on (he other hand he may be a desperate per-sop, but his youth would seem to indicate that he has not been long at the work ascribed to him. For headquarters detectives believet hat he has been stripping furnished rooms of their belongings, and more than one owner of a furnished room bouse was In the Adams street court this morning to look him over and to say if he was the person who was wanted. There is a new crop of furnished room thieves every year, and the police believe that Harold is just at the leafing That is why they are glad (hey have For maybe two months the police have been getting reports of a young man, very much of a blond as to hair, complexion and eyes, with a very genteel air, good clothing and the nicest possible way of talking about himself and affairs in general, who has been hiring rooms in furnished houses and staying there just long enough to get a chance to lay his hands on other people's portables. Once or twice this young man has had a a dark man with him, as a visitor, a dark man who is believed to have been the assistant of the other in his thieving. One of the more recent of the robberies of this pair was committed two weeks ago to the very day at the home of J.

P. Schroeder, and many lodgers at 105 South Elliott place. The light haired man had been there but two days and had a room on the third floor. On the Friday two weeks ago the people In the house noticed that he had a visitor In tho person of a dark man who looked like an Italian. The two were heard talking in the light haired man's room and then there was silence.

As a matter of fact both disappeared about that time, but it was not until lale at night that the other lodgers began to complain. There were missing coats and hats and one suit case and some rings and trinkets which had been collected from a number of places on the third floor. The robbery was reported at. the local headquarters, and Detective Sergeants McKlrdy and Thompson, something of experts 'In the furnished room ltnc, were told to Investigate. For the trademarks on the job were the trademarks of the yellow-haired young man who had been at other places.

McKlrdy was quite vexed to think that the fellow had again succeeded In getting owny and he said to the servant who had admitted the dark haired man and who knew the blond by appearance that he would like her. if she ever saw either of them on the street, to tell the nearest policeman. Tills servant was Mary Green, and Mary Green was on Fulton street late yesterday afternoon, and as she was about to pass the Intersection of Flatbush avenue with Fulton street she saw Holland and Bald to herself that she could not be mistaken; he was the blond. Policeman Soldier was there, handily, and he was asked by Mary to make Holland a prisoner. Holland, with much grace and politeness, protested and said that ho had never done anything wrong and did not know why he should be questioned by an officer.

But Seidler had heard, at roll call, of the blond furnished room thief and he was glad of the chance to take Holland In when Mary said she was sure he was the person. The prisoner had a fur-lined overcoat, which has been identified as a garment taken from the boarding house at 54 Wllloughby street and which was evidently the posses, sion or a theatrical person. In his pockets were many small things believed to havo been picked up by the young man at many homes. There were six rings which have been Identified as part of the properly carried out of Mr. Schroeder's home.

But Mr. Henroeder and hw roomers were not the only victims ana ttte police expect, next, time the young man is up in court, to marshal a smnll army of those who rent furnished rooms and who have lost, property. Harold would not tell where he lived. Ho said that ho had forgotten, for he really had not been long away from his "uncle." The po itco think his visits to his "uncle" havo been too frequent of late nnd will (ry to discover If he has pledged the things he Is alleged to have stolen. The authorities are quite sure that they have tho man they have been looking (or, for such a pronounced uiono, atmost an Albino, Is not often so on tho streets.

Harold told a tale lo one of the lawyers In court about hlmsolf. He said that lie is a German, live years in this country; that his parents are exceedingly well to do and mm. no nas great exnectatlons from thnm that he had been living here ith his uncle and that that relative had gono two weeks ago to England and loft him stranded. That was why he sought the room at Mr. Sohroe- uer nouse for he admits that ho iher If anything was stolen from Mr.

Schroeder's guests he thinks it was the dark man who Ulll 11. ou see, "said he. "this man, who la an Itallau. ramo to see me. I could not tell you his name, nor where ho, lives, but he came to see me.

TESTIFIED TO AVOID PUNCHING. Witness Says Detective Threatened Him if He Did Not Sign Complaining Affidavit Hearing Postponed. Magistrate Naumer became quite angry In the Manhattan avenue court this morning for the failure of the police to produce sufficient evidence upon which he might hold the prisoners. The persous arraigned were Louis Reincrs and his wife, Sarah, who live at 256 Johnson avenue.

They were arrested about a week ago and charged with endangering the morals ot their five children. The complaint against them had been sworn to by Henry Schaffer, 22 years old, who lives at 57 Stagg street. George Kramer, 21 years old, of 44 Meserole street, corroborated the complaint signed by Schaffer. When the case was called this morning, Lawyer Harry Howard Dale told the magistrate that he wanted to make a statement for Kramer. Then he told the court that Kramer had signed the complaint without having known its contents, which, he claimed, had not been read to him.

Mr. Dale said he thought the complaint should have been read to his client before he was asked to corroborate it. The court clerks claimed that Kramer had heard the complaint. Mr. Dale then continued, saying tnai iub police had used both Schaffer and Kramer to get evidence against the Reiners.

He said that the police had paid money to them In order that they might get the evidence wanted. The money is alleged to have been spent In a saloon before Schaffer and Kramer went to the house where the Reiners lived. Kramer said that he went to the Reiners with Schafer, but they did not enter the apartments of the defendants. Instead, he said, they went to rooms on the floor above. Detectives McConnigee ana ioniiui, ui the Staag street station, who made tne arrest seemed to think they were being discriminated against.

They could not understand Just why the magistrate did not pass sentence upon the defendants without any delay. Their case was clear, they thought. I wish you onicers wouia stop unugiug people here of low character, and having them make complaints -against innocent "Well, we cant sena eunuay bcuuui tenchers to get the evidence," said one of tho policemen. Then Kramer told the court that he had signed the affidavit because he had been told by a policeman that he "would get a punch in the face If he didn't." Who told you tnai saia me mugum-aii, point out the policeman." Kramer looked around the court room, and nearly all of the cops Interested in the case stood up shouting, "Was it me!" Kramer finally turned to tne magistral? nnd said that the policeman was not in court. The magistrate wanted to know.

t)' policeman's name. "It was Detective Tracy, saia uramer. The magistrate then wanted to know where Tracy was. He was told that Tracy had recently been transferred to the Hamburg avenue station, and that he was In the county court to-day. Detective McConnlgee then said to tne magistrate: "Your honor, the Reiners have been before you once before.

You dis charged them because there was not enough evidence against them." 'I know my business," said the magis trate. "I'm under oath for the discharge of my duties, as well as you, and I am go ing to keep that oath. I am not going to permit you to criticise my actions. I intend to live up to my oath." After a little more talk the magistrate held the defendants for, further examination on Tuesday next. $10,000 LOOT IN A FLAT.

HOW ONE HOTEL IS ASSESSED. The Breslin's Manager Puts Up $50 a Month to Secure Removal of Ashes. The aldermanic committee of the Board of Aldermen held a preliminary meeting lo-day in the City Hall, MRnhatfau, and heard delegates from all parts of the city, who lodged complaints against, the Street Cleaning Department. The committee was appointed for the purpose of Investigating the department. Managers of hotels and theaters made serious charges, saying they had been forced to pay fixed sums for the removal of ashes and garbage.

Some of the side streets surrounding the opera house, he said, were in a very dirty condition, and frequently he said that he was compelled to pay the foreman of the street cleaning gang to Induce him to clean the street.

Walter Hlldreth, the manager of the Hotel Breslin, said that in spite of the fact that he paid taxes amounting to $60,000 annually he was compelled to pay $50 per month to secure the removal of his ashes and garbage.

Major Woodbury, he said, alwaysto ok care to see that Fifth aveuue and Broadway were cleaned, but utterly neglected the streets in the lower East Side and West Side. He said that the department was run on an extravagant basia, and that Major Woodbury did not treat his subordinates with the consideration that was due them.

Register Boulton was another speaker who denounced the dirty condition of the streets. The committee will meet In executive session this afternoon and fix a dale for the beginning of the hearings. Chairman Grif-enhagen said that he had received many letters from Brooklyn, the writers of which will be subpenaed to testify, showing that the department was badly mismanaged. FELT0N FORGOT LESSON.
