a a THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW YORK. MONDAY, JULY 14. 1913. 1 the Government at today's confer.

Presidents Samuel Rae of the Pennsylvania, Daniel Willard of the Baltimore and Ohio, George W. Stevens of the Chesapeake and Ohio, C. Brown of the New York Central lines and Frank Trumbull. chairman of the board of the Chesapeake and Ohio, represented the railroads: Presidents A. B.

Garretson of the Order of Raiway Conductors and W. Lee of the brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen represented the employes. Seth Low, president of the Civic Federation, which has indorsed the Newlands bill for amending the Erdman act, also was expected to take part in the conference. It is understood that both brotherhoods and the railroads are satisfed the Newlands bill already passed the Senwith ate, but that the Clayton bill, introduced in the House, largely at the instance of Secretary Wilson, is not so satisfactory, The latter proposes that the Secretary of Labor should be included as one of the official mediators. There has been considerable objection to that feature.

Chairman Clayton of the House Judidiary Committee, who was one of the par. tripants in the White House conference, declared there was no disposition to press his bill against the Newlands bill it it was apparent that both the railroads and their employer favored the Newlands measure. Expect. Quick Action in Congress to Follow Conference. 'Al we want." he said, to get the best legislation possible to meet the views of sides.

Acceptance by the House of the Naw lands bill. as it has passed the Senate. which also has been approved by the Civic Federation, should remove the imminence of a strike. Senator Newlands declared that the emergency should bring the House to immediate action on the Senate bill He had hopes that the White House conference would lead to some debnite conlusion.

"The bill which passed the Senate," said Senator Newlands. "is unquestionably favorable to the public interest. The arbitration A8 proposed eventually would develop into an industrial court. and for that reason it should be attached to the Department of any Labor. more than the Interstate Commerce Commission should ba attached to the Department of Commerce." Railroad Managers Answer Trainmen--Are Willing to Arbitrate.

The railrond managers are seeking arnitration. although they do not want it under the Erdman Act. They met in conference in Manhattan today, at the Grand Central Terminal and drafted a letter trainmen in which they said they would arbitrate under some fair plan such as that outlined in the Newlands bill. The letter followed one sent by the trainmen which was a formal notification of the approval of the vote for a terike. The reply of the railroad managers.

while conciliatory 111 tone, states that they are not to be coerced by threats of a strike and that they hold to their original policy. The reply is addressed to A Garretsop, president of the Order of Railway Conductors, Herald Square Hotel, W. G. Lee. president of the Brotberhood of Railway Trainmen, and is as follows.

"Gentlemen--The conference committee of managers, representing forty -three Eastern wailroads, has dealt, with labor controversies--the present one. ne with the engineers and another with he firemen. The committee's policy has never changed. They refused to be coerced through threats of a strike. into paying to railroad employes wages out of all proportion to duttes performed.

"The managers have been consistent in Contending that the Erdman Act-arbiPation under which railroad employes always urged -does not protect the inter. ests of all parties concerned. "Judging from letter of the 13th we take it that you will agree 101. arbitration under some fair plan, such 48 that called for in the Newlands bill. the passage of which representatives of the railroads have been urging for some time past, and that you will not insist further upon arbitration under the provisions of the Erdman Act.

The three Lavelle children had been living with their parents until both died within a week of one another. and then they sold the farm and came to Brooklyn, taking an apartment. Although Helen hated the city life because of its noises and dirt, she got along fairly well while the brother. Frank, was living with them.

for together the three were able to take short excursions out into the country. But month ago Frank got married and the three orphans were compelled to give up their little apartment, Helen and her sister Ruth, who is three years older, took a large furnished room at 403 Franklin avenue. and commenced to do some very light housekeeping there. They both went to work: and consequently the opportunities for them to get the country became scarcer and scarcer, and Helen became more and more depressed. On Saturday night Ruth went out shopping and left Helen in the room alone.

Borough President Pounds today submitted to Corporation Counsel Watson, for a legal ruling. the evidence that a fee of 15 cents is being charged for admission to the beach in front of the Brighton Beach Bathing Pavilion.

President Pounds wants to find out if the charge is legal. If it is found that the charge is illegal, he said, he supposed that those responsible could be enjoined from continuing the practice. The Borough President does not believe that he has the power to forcibly stop it. A man sent to the beach by Mr. Pounds was refused admission to the beach until he had paid 15 cents.

He had no choice save to pay. SMITH HITS PRENDERGAST, But Latter Denies Charge That Trial Balances Are Not Made. Frank W.

Work of Reorganizing to Go On Now.

Edward Lyons to Be Managing Director, The last obstacle in the way of carrying out comprehensive plans for the panies, reorganization which of Dean Alvord comwent into receivership January 10, was removed today when Supreme Court Justice Townsend Scudder granted a motion to have Belle Terre Estates, the most important development of the concern, removed from ceivership. The motion was made by Hiram Woods, of the law firm of McGuire Woods of Rochester, N. representing the stockholders of the companies. Mr. Woods paid a high compliment to Edward Lyons, receiver for the companies, and L.

Squires, his counsel, for to their cooperation and support all through the action since the concern became difficult involved in the proceedings. Mr. Squiers submitted the accounts of the receiver, which were immediately approved by the representatives of the stockholders and the court. As a reward for work in the readjustment his efficient of the affairs of the company Mr. Lyons has been elected its managing director, will direct the new policy of and hereafter the concern.

Belle Terre Estates was the most difficult of the five developments of the real company to reorganize. Being the largest estate holding of the Dean Alvord companles, the development received the most attention and remained the last or the five to be settled. Extraordinary progress has been made since the companies became it was regarded as involved, and big accomplishment to have the matter settled at 80 early, on date. now on the affairs of the Dean Alvord companies will go along in eXcellent anape." said Mr. Squires today.

"The reorganization was necessary to the health of the whole concern and stockholders realized this fact before Mr. Lyons had gone very far in the matter of adjustment.

The new management is propressive and capable in every way," be said: Edmund Lyon of Rochester, N. 15 at the head of the new board of directors.

Now that the affairs of the concern are finally settled the new management 20- nounces that it will start in a few days to carry out its plans. Hereafter it will be possible for purchasers to get less than acre plots. The restriction against selling this way, it is believed, acted against the progress of one or more of the companies in the past. None of the restrictions which have made the property a distinctive residential section will be removed, but it is said that the small plottage plan will have a tendency to encourage more building projects in the future.

One the agalust Senator Stephen J. has to do Justice F. Consalan of the Supreme Court. It staved here today that on Saturday algnt vetore coming to Albany Mr. told an intimate friend that his with the Governor concerneu Conal.n and Stilwell.

Everyone is marking time here in regard to the Stilwell case. The legislators do nut know what to expect, but do MOI think Stilwell will make a confession. The fact that the District Attorney talked to the Governor about the Cohalan case has given rise to the belief that the Supreme Court judge is not out of the woods, although the Legislature is going to acquit him of any responsibility for improper actions in connection with the Connolly charges. The Governor left Albany this morning on the day line boat for New York. Ex-Senator Stephen J.

Stilwell is busy in his cell in the Tombs prison writing what 12 believed to be a full and frank confession of the operations of the "Black Horse Cavalry" at Albany. It was learned today that he has been visited in his cell by a man supposed to be an emissary from Governor Sulzer. He was visited last Thursday by Lawyer Samuel Bell Thomas and since then has received visits from other lawyers. B. W.

Berry called on him on July 9, and on July 11 Robert Ireland visited him in his cell. Today E. L. Brisach saw him. It is understood around the District Attorney's office that Stilwell's confession will involve Republicans as well as Tanmanyites and Democrats.

In New York, today, Sheriff Harburger said that he had not yet received Stilwell's commitment, but that he expected to receive it from Judge Seabury tomorrow. C. I. AVENUE IS DANGEROUS Speed of Cars on Parked Street Blamed for Many Accidents. Renewed complaints were heard today from people living in the vici: ity of Coney Island avenue and Avenue J.

at the manner in which the cars of the Coney Island and Brooklyn Railroad speed past the street crossing at that point, since the parking of Coney Island averue was accomplished. This increased agitation is caused by an accident which occurred there early yesterday when Harvey L. Schoonover. 35, of 1044 East Thirty-eighth and Fred Kirk, 47. of 2321 Main Bastreet, tavia.

N. narrowly escaped being killed by a southbound Franklin avenue trolley, which crashed into their machine and hurled it into the air. The automobile, owned and driven by Schoonover, was crossing Coney Island avenue along Avenue when the trolley which was going at a high rate of speed, according to witnesses, struck the machine full on the side. Schoonover was removed to the Kings County Hospital by Drs. McSweeney and Coackley in a serious condition, while Kirk, after treatment for cuts and bruises at that institution, was able to go home.

The trolley cars, according residents in the neighborhood, are accustomed to speed at Avenue because they own a right of way through the parked space down the middle of Coney Island avenue MITCHEL BOOM GROWS. Fine Row in Moose Ranks Seems Likely. The boo mfor John Purroy Mitchel for Mayor is attracting much attention today. Mr. Mitchel was accorded a great reception Saturday night at the Progressive dinner at Steeplechase Park.

It was stated today by one of the New York County leaders that 90 per cent. of the New York Progressives are for the Collector of the Port. It is being stated that there was an organized movement on foot Saturday night at the Progressive dinner to defeat any programme which Timothy L. Woodruff tried to force on the party. The rank and file of the Kings County Progressives are for Mitchel and were not prepared to take kindly to Whitman suggestions.

There is a fight on in the fusion committee over the Pounds nomination, and no one knows today how it will come out this week and he will add greatly to Naval Officer F. J. H. Kracke is in town Pounds' strength. The fusion committee would like to nominate Raymond V.

Ingersoll, and probably will nominate him it Whitman is the choice for Mayor. If McAneny is choice Pounds will be named. It Mitchel is the choice Pounds will be named. Timothy L. Woodruff has called together all of the Progressives on the issue of beating E.

T. O'Loughlin for the Borough Presidency. Saturday night at the Progressive dinner O'Loughlin's friends called for him time and again, but Woodruff would not give him a chance to speak. JUDGE BISCHOFF'S DEATH. Emigrant Savings Bank Charges Contributory Negligence in Answer to Suit.

SERVICE BOARD INQUIRY ENDS. Figures Produced to Show That Company's Prices Are Exorbitant. Commander Albert Moritz, U. 8.

retired, who has appeared as chief complainent against the Flatbush Gas Comhe pany in the inquiry before the Public Service Commission, into alleged excessive charges for electricity made by that company, which supplies the Twentynint Wardh and vicinity, declared today that he was confident the Commission would order the company to make a substantial cut in its rates. The hearings before the Commission have clearly shown, said Commander Moritz, that discrimination has been practiced by the company against its small consumers, and that the cost of production and operating expenses of the company do not warrant the excessive rate of 12 cents per kilowatt hour which small, residential consumers of current now have to pay. The hearings have been going on for almost a year, before Commissioner Milo R. Maltbie, and it is expected that the case will be brought to a close. The commission has practically concluded its case, with the exception of some odds and ends to be cleared up.

Commissioner Maltbie declared. The company is still trying to bring out additional facts concerning its expenses of operation, and. Clifton W. Wilder, an engineering expert, was put on the stand today for the company and questioned by John J. Kuhne, counsel for the company.

One of the most flagrant cases of crimination which has been shown against the company, Commander Moritz asserted, is that of the Brooklyn Hygeia lee Company, at Rutland Road and East -fifth street, which has been getting current from the Flatbush Gas Company at the remarkably low rate of 2 cents per kilowatt hour. The company, in explanation of this, declared that the piant consumes current twenty-four hours a day. According to the company's own exhibit, Commander Moritz declared, it costs them 1.98 cents to manufacture the current, 80 that all they make on this contract is .02 of a cent per kilowatt hour. The real reason for the low rate, in his opinion, is that it was for the purpose of keeping the Brooklyn Edison Company out of the field. Shows Rates Are Excessive.

A chart prepared by the Public Service Commission, from information furnished by the company. shows the following schedule of charges made in 1911 by the company: Municipal street lighting (are), 4.99 cents per kilowatt hour; municipal street lighting (incandescent), 6 cents; lighting municipal buildings, 7.8 cents; municipal heat and power, 6.53 cents; commercial metered lighting, 11.64 cents. and commercial metered power, 7.45 cents. The New York Edison charge for commercial metered lighting Company's is about 7.8 cents per kilowatt hour while that of the Brooklyn Edison Company, to a large proportion of its consumers, is even 52 per cent. lower than this.

The Brooklyn Edison charges are made on a so-called "demand" system, with scale arranged according to amount of current consumed. The charts produced at the hearings show that the number of consumers in the Fiatbush Gas Company's territory increased largely every year since has 1908. In that year the increase was 25 per cent. over the preceding year; in 1909, 54 per cent. over 1908; 1910, 48 per 1911, 41 per and 1912, 24 cent.

over each preceding per year. The company, in 1912, had 4,905 consumers. LAD CAUGHT IN HELL GATE. Astoria Youth Saved From Treacherous Currents. Harry Wolfert, 16.

PANKHURST ARRESTED. London, July 14-Mrs. Emmeline Pank-! hurst and Miss Annie Kenney, two of the militant suffragette leaders, defied the government and the courts of law this afternoon by appearing at the weekly meeting of the Women's Social and Political Union. Miss Kenney was arrested during uproar caused by a clash between the poan lice and sympathizers with the suffragettes. Mrs.

Pankhurst, however, managed to evade the officers and escaped. Mrs. Pankhurst said she had come against her doctor's orders, but that if she was well enough to be tortured prison by Reginald McKenna, the Home Secretary, she was also well enough to attend a meeting of her comrades. Miss Kenney, holding aloft two of her licenses under the "cat and mouse act." asked for bids for them and they were sold at auction for $30 each. Mrs.

Pankhurst was captured later in the day by a detective who saw her leave the place in a taxicab and pursued her in another. The two vehicles engaged in a wild race through the crowded streets, but the fugitive militant leader was at length run down and taken to jail. BELMONT PARK ENTRIES.

"Yes, sir--the last fellow wno got to 'em had 'em on Election Day." On June 14, 1906 Cushing wrote to Muihall telling him that he could point out that Pearre was "playing both ends against the middle." "You cught to point to all such people--that is, those out, naturally ought to be against Pearre-how he is trying to play both ends against the middle; that he is attorney for the Baltimore and Ohio, and could not excuse himself as a paid employe it he does not oppose legislation when it came to a showdown," Cushing wrote. "So while Pearre is playing both ends against the middle, perhaps you can both ends against the middle play on your own account." A letter from Holtzman to June 24, 1906, urged the latter Mulhall, immediately to raise funds for the to Anal help effort to beat Pearre at the 11, said that Pearre was "working primaries. the laracket" with great success, and bor that the "Federal officeholders the money." are supplying The plan by which Mulhall and officers of the Philadelphia Typothetae proposed to break down the printers' strike there in 1905 was outlined in a report Mulhall identified as one he had made to John F. Melntyre, secretary of the National Typothtae. "A great many men had been brought 11 from the South to take strikers' places, but proved no good to the employers," wrote Mulhall.

"Our plan was to get them to go out on strike also, as they would become charges on the unions and help eat up their funds." The report to MeIntyre told of an arrangement with employment agencies by which new men could be secured, who were to be encouraged to go on strike as soon as the labor unions suggested it. Details of the fight against Pearre were brought out through a letter from Mulhall to M. C. Holtzman of Cumberland, dated April 27, 1906, which outlined a plan to "send you all the labor organizers you wish, and guarantee all of them to be first-class men" to organize the fight against Pearre. In a letter to Cushing in April, 1906, Mulhall wrote of a conference on Marco 22 between President Roosevelt and Samuel Gompers, at which, the latter said, Gompers declared that if labor were not favored more in legislation, it would carry on a campaign to elect labor men to Congress.

Mulhall wrote Cushing that he had found in tours of large cities that "The threat of Mr. Gompers" was being carried out "to the best of his and added that the Gompers "labor leaders are doing their utmost to turn their labor organization into the Hearst movement in Philadelphia."
