who THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW YORK. TUESDAY. AUGUST 11. 1908.

LEGAL AID SOCIETY FAILED TO COLLECT Mrs. Anna B. Frye Has Waited Several Months for Court Action to Recover $5. MANY TRIPS, FARES AND FEES. Society Has Three Men to Handle 700 Cases a Month and Cannot Serve Summonses.

There is one woman in Brooklyn, who has lost faith in the Legal Society as a medium for the collection of amounts due from employers. She is Mrs. Anna B. Frye, who is now living at 170 Hicks street. One year ago she left the employ of Ambrose Fowler, a landscape photographer, of 259 West Twenty-third street, Manhattan, after giving him due notice, she says, that she was going to leave to take a better paying position.

She had been working for Fowler for several weeks as a printer of photographic post she remained up to Wednesday, August 8, three days after she had secured a position with another firm, in order to give him an opportunity to fill her place. On leaving she claims that he said he would not pay her for the three days, $5, for one-half a week's work. After some correspondence, with the photographer. which was fruitless, she took her case to the Brooklyn Office of the Legal Aid Society, at 186 Remsen street, and after paying a retaining fee of ten cents. was advised that her case as she stated it, was a good one, and that the Society would help her to get the money.

This visit was made Society, recording to their own records. on December 16, 1907. Mrs. Frye waited for several weeks and made several visits to the office on Remstreet, frequently coming over from Manhattan during the office hours of the society, and paying two fares in order to do so. This was before the completion of the subway.

On each occasion, she says, when she went to the office she was met by a different man who assured her that everything possible was being done. Then she was sked, after a month or more, to pay 16 cents for swearing out a voucher. She then waited about four months without receiving the money, and called again. This time she was informed that Fowler had written to the society denying the justice of her claim, and she was told to pay 50 cents to pay for the service of summons to court for I Mr. Fowler.

She swore out the summons and paid the 50 cents for service. She then waited two months more without hearing from the society or getting her money, and again went to the office of the society. On this occasion, she says that she was told by the stenographer that the society could not help it if the man dodged the service of the summons, and that another summons would have to be made out. It was explained to her, she says, that she would have to pay 50 cents more for the service of this summons, but she refused, and told the people in the office that she would call the attention of the public press to the delay. Then nothing more was said about the payment of another 50 cents, but she swore out another summons and has awaited word from the society ever since.

The last summons was dated June 6. Over two months have elapsed since she swore out that summons which was made on a blank of the Sixth District Municipal Court. and now. despairing of ever obtaining any redress, she has complained to the Brooklyn Eagle. At the office of the society to-day the young attorneys who seemed to be in charge of the office, and who sat smoking while listening to the complaints of various poor women with bills to collect, manifested great amusement when they heard that Mrs.

Frye had taken her case to a newspaper. They laughed loud and long, as though it were a good joke. Then as they were questioned about the case they began to explain that they were not responsible for the law's delays. They produced a file with copies of letters that they had written to the defendant, and his replies, and an index card with everything about the case duly entered. On the card was even written the fact that Mrs.

Frye had called and had said that she would take the case to the Eagle, together with the dates of the letters which had been sent and received in the matter of her claim for the small sum of $5. However, from their standpoint they had done everything in their power. After waiting a reasonable time for Fowler to respond to their demands, on behalf of Mrs. Frye, and after the receipt of several letters from him, they had advised her to make out the summons for his appearance in court, they explained. They had then sent the summons over to the Lawyers Municipal Court Service Company of 160 Broome street, on May 19.

After an interval of about tyvo weeks the time of the summons expired, and it was returned to the society by the service company with the statement that Mr. Fowler could not be found by their agents. Their fee was 50 cents, but not payable unless they served the papers. Then the society had Mrs. Frye make out a new summons and sent that to Matthew F.

Mulvihill, a marshal in Manhattan. His fee is $1, and that is why the society asked Mrs. Frye for 50 cents more. On her refusal to pay the society took the risk of losing 50 cents and sent over the summons to Mulvihill, which was later returned by the marshal with the statement that Fowler was not known the vicinity. Mrs.

Frye, however, says that Fowler lives on the premises and the Legal Aid Society has had correspondence with him at that address. Then the society, so its attorneys said to-day, offered to give Mrs. Frye a summons, which she could have served by some friend, but it is said that she refused, and said that the society should see to that part of the work. According to one of the attorneys in the office, there are only three men to handle about 700 cases a month, and it is impossible for them to serve summonses. They are obliged to depend upon marshals and process service companies for that, sort of thing, and if thee process servers report unfavorably Legal Aid Society is helpless.

And that is why Mrs. Frye is still waiting for the adjudication of her little claim of $5 and why the Legal Aid Socity practically admits its inability to collect it for her. Apparently the only satisfaction Mrs. Frye can get is the return of the 50 cents which she paid for the service of the summons. This sum the society has offered to return to her.

"REMEMBER BROWNSVILLE." To Southern and Northern Negroes Alike He Declares That Bryan Should Be Elected. Bishop Alexander Walters, president of the National Afro- American Council, who resides in this city, has come out strongly against Taft, the Republican nominee for the presidency. In an interview to-day he declares time that there be a division of negro this vote in the United States. He doesn't take any stock in the promises of high Republican officials. he says.

Speaking of his present stand as an "The Republican party has shown anti-Taft man Bishop Walters says: self impotent to enact further legisla- Bishop Alexander Walters. tion In our interest. This is evidenced by its failure to have Congress pass a bill to have lynchers tried in the Federal courts, and to enact legislation reducing Southern representation in Congress. Nor has the Republican party done anything to prevent inimical legislation on the part of Southern states enacted against us chiefly because we as a race have voted solidly with the Republican party. "The Republican party.

through its President, Theodore Roosevelt, and its candidate for the presidency, William H. Taft, and its national convention recently held in the city of Chicago, has indorsed Lilly-white movement of the South, which has for its ultimate object, Just as surely as the Democratic party, the elimination of the negro from polltics in that section. The Greensboro and Lexington speeches of Mr. Taft gave evidences of this; note the approval of seating of the Lilly-white delegates at Chicago by President Roosevelt. "At the Chicago Convention held in that year the party strongly declared for Southern reduction of representation in Congress.

The subject was wholly ignored by the candidate before election and nothing was ever said about it after his election, and it was even mentioned in the platform of this year. For some time President Roosevelt and the administration at Washington have been flirting with the South, making a bid for Democratic support. I believe this was the main cause for the hasty dismissal of the colored soldiers. The President desired the votes of a sufficient number of Southern senators to carry through the Senate certain policies which he was anxious to have passed by that body. Again, the President wanted to do something that would please the South, to win their sympathy and cooperation, hence the attempt at the quickest way was through its prejudice.

He therefore dismissed the soldiers in order to placate that section of the country. "The appointment of Luke E. Wright to succeed Mr. Taft as Secretary of War was a bid also for Southern support. Mr.

Wright was born a Democrat, is a Democrat still and he is in the Cabinet of a Republican in charge of the country's most treasured secrets. Yet there is no protest from white Republicans. And in the face of all it is considered sin for the negro to an unpardonable affiliate with the Democratic party from which this man was taken and exalted by a Republican President. "It is stated that the Democratic party does not ask for or want our supThe platform at Denver does not port. that way.

If its invitation to all read and to each citizen does not include the negro then I fail to understand the English language. "If we are to help our brethren in South this seems a good chance to the do it; because to the white. people of the South we must look for substantial and real advantage. The whites help cannot prosper if the blacks languish. We are whites and blacks in the same boat, and we must sit fair and row together.

"The black people long ago learned that the Republican party had no use for them, except to vote them. Though for forty years they have been paying a debt they but half owed. In the meantime the whites of the South have been aiding us in substantial ways. If we should turn about now and vote the Democratic ticket at the North they would be pursuing a wise policy by rebuking the Republicans, making fair weather with Democrats and asserting at once our intelligence and independence. "We are told that we can't, as a race.

afford to unite with the party of Hoke Smith, Vardaman, Tillman, Heflin and Jeff Davis, but these men are discredited by all of the best-thinking people of this It is bad politics for all of the country. voters of any race to be on one side, regardless of what may be their nationality. Wherever we have helped the Democratic party it has treated us with consideration, especially this true of New York and Philadelphia. The time is at hand when we are going to liberate ourselves from political bondage. There is nothing left for us to do but 'Remember divide our vote and defea: Mr.

Taft by helping to elect Bryan." BOY KNOCKED DOWN BY AUTO. Knocked down by an automobile on the Boulevard, between Ammerer and Meredith avenues, Far Rockaway, yesterday, Robert Guad, 12 years old, of 151 West Sixty-second street, Manhattan, received a possible fracture of the skull and a fracture of the left collar bone. The boy was attended by Dr. Kline and removed to St. Joseph's Hospital.

STRAINED ANKLE IN FALL. Mrs. Hicks, 62 years old, of 32 Puntine street, Jamaica, tripped and fell on the step of the Montauk Hotel at Mott and Remsen avenues, Rockaway Beach, yesterday, receiving a sprained ankle. She was attended by Dr. Namack and left for her home with her daughter.

L. I. A. R. OVERHEAD LINE IS NEARLY COMPLETED Electric Trains From Garden City to Island Trees Probably in a Month.

TUNNEL SECTION ABOUT DONE Working Out of Difficult Problems Attracting Attention of Rail. road Men in All Sections. The overhead wires for the experlmental electric line being built by the Long Island Railroad between Garden City and Island Trees, a distance of five or six miles. on the central division of Island Railroad, are nearly completed, and from 900 to 1,000 feet of the dummy tunnel been constructed and wired, as a part the route, built in order to furnish a test as to the probable success of the operation of the big Pennsylvania tunnels under the East and North rivers by the overhead wire system. It is thought that the line will be in practical operation in about a month.

The power to be used is a single phase current, furnished from the alternating, house in Long Island City a and should the experiment be as successful as anticipated will revolutionize the system of application of electricity over all of the lines of the Long Island Railroad where the third. rail and direct or continuous current are in use. The experiment is being watched with interest by railroad men all over the country, because there are to be tried out thoroughly many hitherto untried plans which it is expected will eliminate some of the drawbacks to the success of overhead electric traction as applied to trunk lines heavy trains at a high rate of success of the operating, new system is of very greatest importance to railroad men, very less expense of becaustallation electricity as a motive power and admits of a much wider extension of the power than is possible with the third rail and direct current. It is said that some of the difhculties met by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Company on that part of its line which is operated by electricity and extending Grand Central Station, in Manhattan, Stamford, are owing to the fact that the trains have to be operated by the direct current over a part of the way, where they go over the tracks of the Hudson River and Harlem divisions of the New York Central, and by the alternating current east of that to Stamford. This makes the use of a double apparatus necessary, with a consequent complication.

There is considerable trouble with the electric locomotives. Everything considered, it is said, however, they have made a good showing. The Long Island Railroad Company change when made will be to a uniform system, the single phase alternating current with a high voltage. Should the experiments prove as successful as is expected not only will the entire western division of the Long Island Railroad be equipped with the overhead electric system, but there will be an extension of electricity to points as far east as Huntington and Babylon, and to all points on the Oyster Bay line. SAYS HE HAS TWO WIVES Brooklyn Woman Charges Her- man Burchess With Bigamy.

"She Is No Wife of Burchess Declares, Denying an Alleged Marriage in Paris. Charged with bigamy, Herman Burchess, 27 years old, of 161 East Fourth street, Manhattan, was arraigned in the Yorkville court to-day and held in $1,000 bail for examination to-morrow by istrate Moss. The man was arrested on the complaint of a woman, who says she is Anna Burchess of 1558 Pitkin avenue, Brooklyn, and who alleges that she is the man's first wife. Burchess asked for the adjournment, stating that he wanted to be represented by a lawyer. "She is no wife of mine," he said.

"I have one, and that's enough. I would be an idiot to have two." According the complaint, the woman was married to Burchess in Paris about June 5, 1903. She appeared in court with a four-year-old son, who, she alleges, was born in Paris while Burchess and she were living together. Burchess, she said, came to this country about a year after they were married. She followed about nine months ago, and located him living at the address in Fourth street with Anetta Rosey, 19 years old, to whom he was married on December 29, 1906, by a rabbi in Eldridge street.

The alleged first wife went to Burchess and asked him to join her. He denied that he had ever married her, and later, according to his story, he went to the district attorney's office and asked that she be arrested on a charge of perjury. He says that he secured summons for her from Magistrate Wahle in the Essex Market Court, and that the district attorney's office is also investigating the charge. When Burchess went yesterday to serve the summons, he was arrested on the warrant, which was issued in the Yorkville court. In court to-day, Mrs.

Anetta Burchess was present, and she told the magistrate that she had faith in her husband and that she believed that he was never married before he met her. Shortly after Magistrate Moss had disposed of the cases Assistant District AtWard appeared in court and asked torney that Burchess be paroled in his custody pending the examination to-morrow. Mr. Ward told. the magistrate that he was investigating the perjury charge and that he expected to receive within a few days information from Paris.

At Mr. some Ward's request, the magistrate paroled the prisoner. MR. SMITH BITTEN BY DOG. Mishap to Adams Street Man in Richmond Hill.

Adam Smith, 21 years old, of 189 Adams street, this borough, who says he is a reporter on a Manhattan newspaper, was walking through the back yard of a house on Johnson avenue, Richmond Hill, yesterday, when he was bitten on the left leg by a dog, which had been lying on the rear porch. He hurried to the Richmond Hill police station, but he could not tell the lieutenant the number of the house that was the scene of his mishap. Under the guidance of a patrolman, he was sent to St. Mary's Hospital, in Jamaica, for treatment. After his leg had been cauterized he left for home.

BODY FOUND IN CREEK. The body of Charles Seigle, 15 years old, of 186 St. Nicholas avenue, who was drowned Sunday night in Shad Creek, Broad Channel, was recovered yesterday afternoon by Officer Benedict Brennen, of the Far Rockaway removed to the station house.

(Kingston papers please copy.) TWO WOMEN MISSING. Police Asked to Look Out for Miss Barbara Harms and Mrs. Anna Schmidt. The police of the Glendale precinct, which is the Two Hundred and Eightyfifth, have been asked to send out general alarms for two women who have been reported as missing from their homes. Mrs.

Anna Harms of First street, Maspeth, has reported the disappearance of her 24-year-old daughter Barbara, who was last seen at 9 o'clock last Thursday evening, when she left her house a few minutes to visit a friend. Barbara is 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighs 130 pounds. She has blue eyes and brown hair, and she wore a pink silk suit, white stockings, white canvas shoes and no hat. The other woman is Mrs. Anna Schmidt of 1662 Greene avenue, Evergreen, who was last seen on July 16.

Her neighbors at first thought that she was away on a visit, but her continued absence has caused them alarm, and they have asked the police to find her. Mrs. Schmidt is 44 years old, 5 feet 2 inches in height, weighs 125 pounds, has light complexion, dark hair, blue eyes, and wore a red skirt, white waist, black hat, and black shoes and stockings. FLUSHING HAS MYSTERY Trunk Containing Letters Addressed to Italian Found. Owner, Who Drew Money From Bank, Missing Since July 29.

The Flushing police have a "trunk mystery" on their hands. Some time Sunday night a large trunk was found near the corner of Main and Locust streets, Flushing, by Patrolman William Palmer, who had the trunk removed to the station house in the patrol wagon. There an investigation proved that the trunk contained clothing and letters addressed to Rafael Migliarese, of 114 Washington street, Flushing. Inquiries were made at the above address for Migliarese and one of his countrymen stated that the man has been missing since July 29, when he drew a large sum of money from the Queens County Savings Bank, in Flushing. The owner of the trunk was said to be about 65 years old, and to have been a restdent of Flushing for over two years.

He was always known to have had considerable money in his possession. Dominick Appicella, the Italian banker, in Flushing, said last night that he knew the missing man and that he drew $200 from the Queens County Savings Bank, last Saturday morning. Appicella thinks that Migliarese has sailed for Italy, but gives no explanation for having left the trunk behind him. SOLDIER OF SEDAN A SUICIDE. St.

Louis, August 11-Using an old-fashioned silver mounted revolver with which he fought against the French at the battle of Sedan, during the Franco- Prussian war, Ferdinand Conrad, 71 years of age, a resident of St. Louis for a quarter of a century, ended his life by shooting last night. Conrad was despondent because of his inability to get work. STEALING IN THE JAIL MAKES A COURT CASE "The Dodger" Held for Taking Watch From Fellow Prisoner in Raymond Street. HE DENIES IT ON HIS HONOR.

Says Timepiece Was Given to Him. Curious Disciplinary Conditions Intimated. When gentle highwaymen ply their trade in the streets of the city it is sad reflection upon the efficiency of the force, but when they continue to police do it right within the portals of the Kings County jail everybody will agree that drastic measures are necessary. The allegation is made that William Doge, better known to the police as "The Dodger." who claims 425 Rockaway avenue as his residence, when is not SOjourning in the Raymond street hostelry, accomplished this feat and got away with a watch. Many peculiar things have happened in the Raymond jal, but latest one is about strangest.

During forstreet, mer regimes prisoners walked blithely past the doorkeepers to freedom. Others who were gymnasts found it easy to shinny up to the roof, where an ordinary can opener would be sufficient to cut away the tin and leave a hole large enough for any man to squeeze through. Some had themselves committed to jail purposely a few year ago simply for gambling purposes. In those days the jail rivaled any gilded gambling den, although it is true that the players confined themselves solely to shooting craps. But what of it if they did participate only in the prosaic game of craps, when it was possible for an expert with the bones to walk out of the jail after a tel days sojourn' with three or four hun dred dollars in his pocket.

But not until the other day was it ever known that any of the inmates violated the ethics of his profession and made victim of a fellow craftsman. This is what "The Dodger" is supposed to have done, although he vigorously denies it on his honor as a gentleman. "It is most absurd, this charge which has been made against me," protested "The Dodger," who has an excellent mand of English. "Did you think for moment that I would forget that I was a gentleman and violate the hospitality of the man whose guest I am here. It is true I am an involuntary guest, but my breeding would not permit me to stoop to the base and low act of which I am accused." "The Dodger" was shaking with indignation as he protested his innocence in the language quoted above.

Althouga only 22 years old, he is a thorough man of the world. With the police he has had plent of experience, although he claims that they sought out his company more than he did their company. They insisted on renewing their acquaintance with him one day last week. Henry Klein of 399 Miller avenue made a complaint at the Liberty avenue station that "The Dodger" in the most approved road agent's style attempted to him of a diamond ring valued at $500. When Klein protested he said that "The er" assaulted him.

Two charges, one of assault and the other of attempted highway robbery, were made against him and after a preliminary arraignment in the New Jersey avenue court he was assigned to the apartments which he occupied on previous visits at the Hotel de Raymond. Time hung heavy on his hands. To him the wheels of justice never moved more slowly and the ennui of the situation was just killing him. He began to grow restless and discontented, notwith standing the fact that among the other guests of a Wrden McLaughlin there were many old society friends. But "The Dodger" could not interest himself in their company.

Another inmate, whose name the jail authorities refuse to give, declares that "The Dodger" selected him as the victim to get rid of the ennul which was making his stay as a guest of Warden McLaughlin so uncomfortable. This inmate had a watch. It suddenly disappeared and then reappared in the possession of "The Dodger." The victim set up a howl which disturbed the siestas of all the other guests on Sunday afternoon. Keepers and warders hurried to the scene of the disturbance. They heard the story of the victim, and then they sought cut "'The Dodger." He, too, was enjoying an afternoon siesta on the board which serves as a couch for Warden McLaughlin's guests.

In the most nonchalant manner he inquired the cause of the disturbance. Of course he had the watch. As a gentleman he could not and would not lie. How did it come into his possession? Why, it was given to him by the very man who was accusing him of having stolen it. Police Headquarters was notified, and early yesterday morning Detective McCurdy appeared on the scene.

He ordered "'The Dodger" to be taken to the New Jersey avenue police court. There he made a complaint against him of taking the watch. The magistrate was horrified to think that such depredations as described by McCurdy would take place within the very walls of Raymond Street Jail. If "The Dodger" had the temerity to practice his profession in the jail, the magistrate argued, it would be a menace to society permit him to go about the city at large. "You are safer in the jail than out of it," commented the magistrate.

"At least, there the field of your operations will be restricted. I am going to remand you without bail." Back to the jail went "The Dodger," protesting once more upon his honor as a gentleman that he was innocent and the watch came honestly into his possession. Warden McLaughlin seemed to make light of the matter when interviewed over the telephone this morning. He seemed to agree with "The Dodger" that he was innocent. But he could not offer an explanation, if this is the case, why the jail officials had Detective MeCurdy make the charge against him at the New Jersey avenue court yesterday morning.

BOY SAVES DROWNING MAN. Daniel Wilson Fell Off Battery Wall and Young John Donovan Made Plucky Fight to Rescue Him. Nothing daunted by a swift running and treacherous tide, 15 year old John Donavan, of 2005 Second avenue, Manhattan. dove overboard at the Battery, to-day, and rescued Daniel Wilson, 42 years old, of 10, South, street, a fireman a steamer. plucky fight the lad brought the man asbore.

Wilson was sleeping on the Battery wall, and, as he explained later, was having aL bad dream and rolled off into the water. His head struck the edge of the pier, leaving him semi-conscious. Young Donavan was patiently fishing for lafayettes when he gay the man fall. Throwing aside his pole, the lad dove for Wilson. Stupefied by the blow on the head, Wilson had made no attempt to save himself and did not come to the surface after sinking.

Donavan caught the man on his first dive and brought him to the surface. After a plucky swim the boy got Wilson to the landing pier of the sightseeing yacht, where Captain Roberts of the yacht Halycon and Patrolman Mury of the Church street station helped the boy and man out. Dr. Laurie of the Hudson Street Hospital attended to Wilson, had received a contusion on the back of the head and was suffering from submersion. He was able to go home.

The boy spurned all medical attendance and, dodging the people who wanted to congratulate him, went back to try his Juck with the lafayettes. YOUNG RUNAWAY COUPLE WELCOMED BACK HOME Romantic Escapade of John P. Todd and Miss Bradford Ends Beautifully. WERE CAUGHT IN BROADWAY. Mother of Bride Unexpectedly Bumps Into Daughter and Son-in-Law Who Were Shopping.

Sunday last at the Bay Ridge home of the Bradfords, at 4919 Sixth avenue, saw the happy homecoming of the daughter of the house, now Mrs. Carrie Josephine Todd, after her honeymoon trip with her husband, John Percy Todd, following their secret marriage in June last, and the young couple were accorded a hearty welcome as a finishing touch to their romantic escapade. The first intimation their friends had of the wedding came from a newspaper announcement some days after the ceremony and since that time Mr. and Mrs. Todd have had lots of fun in keeping their whereabouts a mystery.

Just how the mystery was solved is, in itself, a very interesting story. The young couple were married on June 23 last by the Rev. Arnold Bademdem, pastor of the German Lutheran Church, in Jersey City. Althoguh a sister of the bride was present the parents of the two girls were not let into the secret and their first knowledge of the marriage came when public announcement was made of the fact in the newspapers some ays later. At once the young bride and bridegroom started on a honeymoon trip.

They had escaped the publicity of their intention necessary to a Brooklyn wedding and the visit to the marriage license bureau and also escaped the funmaking propensities of their acquaintances. While the latter were trying to locate them the Todds were rusticating in a charming country retreat, but making frequent trips into Now. York city. It was on of these trips into the big city that the unexpected, and, in this case, a very pleasant incident, happened. Mr.

and Mrs. Todd were shopping on Broadway and were about ready to fly back to their rural retreat, when a light hand was placed on the shoulder of the young wife. "It's all right," said Mrs. Bradford, for it was the mother of the mere, woman speaking: "I am not the young least angry, only you might have told us, so I could have given you my congratulations." The mother was accompanied by Carrie's sister. The four had dinner together, and plans were immediately made for the reception that occurred Sunday evening at the Sixth avenue home of the Bradfords.

This proved a huge success. The young couple are to live in Van Pelt Manor when their home is made ready for them next month. Mrs. Todd is a very well known young woman in the Bay Ridge section of the borough, where she has established A reputation as a charming entertainer.
