Manager of Brooklyn Medical Journal Too Enthusiastic He Believed Slake Was Cured. For a couple of weeks John Blake, who lives on I he third floor of the tenement! house nt 330 Mntijer street, was of the opinion that he was on a fair road to recovery from a bad case of consumption. After that time, howover, his advance was checked and slowly he grow worse, until now, ho says, he despairs of ewr being cured. The hopo of recovery came to him, he says, as a result of a patent, medicine which was given, him by the Bureau ot Charities. Blnke Is a longshoreman.

He lives in tha Mnujer street house, a neatly arranged apartment, though without many conveniences, with his wife and six children. Thcro Is not much chance for air In the place, but everything that could add to the comfort the patient was readily accomplished. While working sometime ago, Mr. Blaku says, he contracted a cold. This musjt havo developed consumption, If he has had that disease, ho says, for this cannot bo hereditary, as no one in his family ever com-, plained of the disease.

His father, be says, Is still hale and harty at the -age of 85. When he first begau to feel the symptoms ot the disease ho went to various dispensaries In the section. Some gave him medlclna that afforded relief, but nono seemed to ac complish a permanent cure. One doctor. he says, reported to tne Jiroomyu mneuu of Charities that he had rotiBumpi ion.

Then he received a new prescription. That wa the only lime he was told ho had consump tion, he says. It was a patent, medicine ano tne enuiB, when shown to a reporter this mornlntc was nearly empty. Tho label on the bourn contained the name of "Pulmonal." Tt waa a help, the label' read, to various diseases, and directions for the. cure of consumption, were contained on the back of the bottle.

Plenty of milk and eggs were recom mended. When he began to tako the medicine Mr. Blake says he gained some ln weight and did feel a little belter. The Improvement, lasted for about two weeks, he says, and then he became worse than ever. Ho says his condition is now much worse than It was before he took the medicine, and though he continues to use It, it does not help him.

The Brooklyn Medical Journal, through Its manager, ln a letter to the newspaper says: "Let us nil pray that the Bureau of Chari ties has found something to aid In elimin ating the white plague." The letter goes on to stRtc that Mr. Blake is entirely cured, but he looked very far from being In good health this morning. He told a reporter that he was. as a laBt resort, to go to a hospital either to-day or to-morrow. 'There Is absolutely no truth In th statement that tho medicine furnished by tho bureau cured me.

I am worse than I ever was. It takes money to got cured. but I have spent all I had during my Ill ness, he said. Tho man has a continual rough and looks very much as though he was in tho last stages of tho disease. SAYS WIFE IS IN CONTEMPT.

Jarashow Claims That She Has An noyed Him, Despite Order of Court on Separation, Israel L. Jarashow, a dealer lu paints and oils, living and doing business at 108 Vemou avenue, Long Island City, has secured from Supreme Court Justice Garretson an ordep directing his wife, from whom he has secured a legal separation, to appear In court next Thursday morning and show cause why she should not be punished tot contempt of court. Jarashow alleges that she has failed to Iiv up to, or obey the decree of separation, which directed her not to Interfere with, annoy or molest the plaintiff In any manner whatever. The separation had been se- cured bv Jarashow largely on tho ground, that his wife was "cruel and Inhumnn" to-ward him. In petitioning for the contempt order he alleges that Mrs, Jarashow has repeatedly annoyed him by standing la front of his shop and raising a disturbance, by screnmlng.

Hot Pursuit by Agent and Policeman Soon Landed a Prisoner. HE HAD THE STOLEN BAGS. John Henry Declares Another Threw Them Away and He Picked Them Up. A daring attempt was made shortly after 1 o'clock this morning to rob Michael Gibbons, agent of the Brooklyn Heights Railroad Company, at the elevated Btation, Fulton and Cumberland streets. The thief started off with two bags of money containing a total of $54.05.

He was chased by Agent Gibbons, who although his hair is white, is by no means Blow In action, and who shouted so lustily as to attract the attention of two policemen some distance down the street. Roundsman Edward J. Keenan and Patrolman John J. Behringer. of the Bergen street precinct, tracked the fugitive to Dean street, near Sixth avenue, where they found him hidden behind some foliage in the front court yard of a house.

He had the two bags of money In his possession. The man gave his address as John Henry, 21 years old, single, a waiter, formerly living at 627 Superior street, Cleveland, Ohio. John Henry. He was arraigned before Magistrate Nau-raer to-day in tho Myrtle avenue court on charge of robbery, pleaded not guilty, was examined at. his own request and was held In $2,000 bail for the Grand Jury.

Henry Is a mild, inoffensive appearing young fellow, who looked as if he might have been in hard luck. Michael Gibbons, of 46 Sterling place, who said that he was employed as station agent on the down or west side of the Cumberland and Fulton street elevated railroad station, told the story of the robbery. He said that about 1:15 o'clock this morning he was sitting in chair by the money board of an inside booth where no one was He was getting the money ready for the money train that was soon expected at the station and he had $54.05 In bags for that purpose. From Mr. Gibbons' testimony It would seem that there is an outer room to which passengers who are waiting for trains have access.

Witness said that Henry opened the door of the room very quietly and without attracting any special attention, until he reached over and grabbed the two bags of coin from the money board and started to run. Witness chased the man, who jumped over the turnstile and made for the street. The fugitive never turned to look back, and witness kept up shouting for the police. A citizen in front of the drug store at Fulton and Cumberland streets also shouted. Roundsman Edward J.

Keenan and Patrolman John J. Behringer told of their chase, The former being at Fort Green place and Atlantic avenue and the latter at South Ox ford and Fulton streets, when they heard the commotion and shouts for the police. They gave chase and it was a vigorous one, too, for the man they were in search of was a good sprinter. He took tho of ficers along South Oxford, Fulton and Cum berland streets, Atlantic avenue to Sixth avenue to Dean street, where they found the man In the courtyard of the first house west of Sixth avenue. He was hidden behind the foliage.

When the prisoner was searched at the Bergen street station house tho two bags of money were found in his possession. Magistrate Naumer asked tho defendant when he wished to have tho examination, he answered: "As speedily as possible." Henry said that he was born In Ireland, that he had lived in this country ever since he wsb a small child; that he was a waiter by profession and workfid during the summer of 1A05 for Tim Sullivan and others at Coney Island. He had only been in this section for three days, his homo being at 627 Superior street, Cleveland, Ohio. Henry tried to convey the impression that he had visited so many saloons In Third avenue and on the east side of Manhattan, yesterday, that he did not know what he was doing. He said he fell in with some strangers, who suggested that he come to Brooklyn.

According to his story, he was standing at tne foot of the elevated station stairs, some time after 1 o'clock, when he bow a man coming down the flight of steps hotly pursued. Before reaching the foot of the steps the fugitive threw the two bags of money over the railing and he, the witness, started to pick tnem up ana began to run. Witness, in answer to Magistrate Naumer. denied that he took the bags of money from the elevated stntlon. but admitted picking them up In the street.

He thought he was so Intoxicated that he did not know what he was doing. One of the theories of the police was that Henry had been riding along on the elevated railroad watching the places that he thought could be most easily attacked. He did not attempt to explain how it was that he wan able to run so well. If ho was Intoxicated. It Is said that the officers, who chased him.

fired several shots from their revolvers before they ran him down. An Extension Telephone Is a second telephone connected to your main line and placed where you will have the moit usa for it.

Plain People Are Aroused to an Appreciation of Their Rights, Says Oscar S. Straus. The Second National Conference for the Reform of the Primary and Election Laws and Corrupt Practices Acts, under the auspices of the National Civic Federation, began in the rooms of the Board of Trade and Transportation, at 203 Broadway, Manhattan, this morning. Delegates were present from almost every section of the country, men prominent in civic and commercial as well as literary and newspaper life. Oscar S.

Straus, piesldet of the conference, opened the meeting. Ho said: Oscar S. Straus spoke on "Reform of the Primaries and Election tws." He said: "There is no subject to-day of more vital concern to tho people of this great Democratic Republic, irrespective of party affiliations, than that ot the principles of popular government which tho fathers of our republic wrested from the grasp of monarchtal usurpation shall be handed uown from generation to generation pure and un-dt filed. This very conference is evidence ot the fact that while we cannot escape the evils that threaten a democracy, we are not blind to their approach, nor shall wo lack the will and determination to eradicate them. Tho last elections In seven separate slates have not only brought Into glaring light the bold and baneful power of the despotism wielded by corrupt bosses, but also the glorious victories due lo tho Bplendtd courage and the aroused public conscience of tile people in those states victorios won over the intrenched bosses of the dominant parties.

"The brave and fearless conflict between honest and dishonest politicians has seldom, if over, won so signal and precious victories for the moral law, as was achieved by Governor Folk, of Missouri, by Mayor Weaver, of Philadelphia, by Senator Colby in New Jersey, by Jerome ln New York, and by the prosecuting attorney in Boston, nnd by similar victories against long entrenched bossism under tho stimulating helpfulness and uncompromising attitude of Seorelary Bonaparte in Maryland, and Secretary Taft In Ohio. "The encouragement following these victories has spread far beyond the states and cities in which they were won, so that throughout, the length and breadth of our land the 'plain people' who love their parties and ihelr country, who by degrees have been literally disfranchised by the bosses, have been aroused to an appreciation of their rights and to a sense of their power. nnd from this awakening has resulted a renewed eftort to break tho chains of boss rule and to reclaim their rights as members of their party and as freo and Independent American citizens. The lessons of the last and lnanv Dre- ceding elections accentuate the necesslly for rornrms along all the lines; hence (he subjects for which we have assembled this conference to discuss and consider primary reform, ballot reform and corrupt practices. us not forget in the discussion of tho topics of reform that, will come before us.

important, and necessary as they are, all tnese are hut means to an end, and that no political contrivance however drastic, can Bcrve as a substitute for the Indifference of the general body of electors, or for the lack of the fver watchful spirit ui unseinsn patriotism. Mr. Straus introduced as the presiding officer of the session Joslah Qulncy, former Mayor of Boston. John J. Delany, Corporation Counsel, rep resenting Mayor McCIellan.

welcomed the delegates on behalf of the Mayor. "The opinion of the people, whether good or had, as expressed at the ballot box, must. be upheld," said Mr. Delany. "So long as government by the people shall endure this must be so.

The man who dreams for his country and does for her day by day to the best of his ability, Is to my mind a greater hero than any bloody field ever produced. We have a great cily here, probably tho greatest ln tho world. We hope by persistent effort to make It tho best. We acknowledge that there is room for Improvement; otherwise there would be nothing to strive for." James B. Reynolds then set forth a plan of procedure for the session.

This proved ac ceptable to the conference. Joslah Qulncy of Boston declared that he believed that most of the reforms ln the election system could be traced to the Australian ballot law, which dates back not more than fifteen years. "I am Biire," said Mr. Qulncy, "that out of this conference will come much light In the further reforms of tho primary and ballot laws." Horaco E. Doming, delegate of the City Club, then outlined a plan for the direct nomination of candidates at the primaries by a ballot system somewhat similar to that used In the elections that follow the primaries.

George L. Record, corporation counsel of Jersey City, talked on the development of the primary law in New Jersey. He said he believed the primary should be held on tho same day as the first registry, at the same places as the election and with the same paraphernalia of the election. William Washburn, representing Mayor Jones of Minneapolis, a member of the Minnesota Legislature, described in detail the provisions of the law governing the Minnesota direct primary, which he favors. Abraham S.

Gilbert, a lawyer of 38 Park row, declared himself against the policy of direct nomination. He favored the New York Bysiem, though admitting that there are defects In It. Adjournment was then taken until 2 o'clock. U. S.

Send for our Art Calendar. Free. CITY CLUB DILLS Test of Strength Over Rapid Transit Measures Will Come To-night in Albany. SENATOR READY TO FIGHT. Says That Brooklyn I3 Especially Inter ested in This Measure Against Present Monopoly.

(Special to the Eagle.) Albany, March 6 The test of strength be tween the forces behind the Elsberg Hapid Transit bill and the amended City Club bill Introduced by Senator Page, will come lo-nlght. Senator Page offered amendments last night which adopt some of the features of Mr. Elsberg's bill, particularly in calling down the term of the leases in each case twenty years. The Elsberg bill has already been out of committee once and was recommitted for a hearing on the distinct promise that It should come out again. Last week Senator Elsberg was 111, and not able to be present to move his measure.

He is on hand to-day to make the fight of his life. Speaking of the Page amendments he said: "They have been stealing features of my bill, knowing well enough that public sentiment would no longer stand for long terra contracts. Why, this bill would allow contracts to be made which would not expire until well on in the twenty-first century. When you come to think that the elevated railroads are only twenty-eight years old, and that they have paid for themselves three times over, despite a great amount of watered stock, It seems to me that leases Jor seventy-five or one hundred years will Hot be permitted any longer. "Brooklyn is especially Interested In this measure.

The present monopoly cares nothing for the development the city. It proposes to build extensions only where big profits are being realised. The real object of my bill is to break the grip of the monopoly, so that the city and its citizens shall have something to say about what extensions shall be built and on what terms." It was learned to-day that the Page amendments were made without consultation with the committee of the City Club, which has been opposing Elsberg, but rather on Page's own responsibility. The principal chanirr In the amendments relates to advertising for proposals by providing that they must be drafted in separate divisions or chapters, so that proposals for construction, equipment, operation and maintenance together, as If for one contract, and proposals for any one or more of these purposes, shall be advertised for at the same time. This arrangement will permit the Rapid Transit Commission to award the contracts separately or to the merger people, asMt deems advisable.

Other amendments provide that franchises may be granted for not longer than twenty-five years, beginning with the operation of the contracts, with one or more renewals not aggregating more than twenty-five years. A certificate granting such franchise for a period of twenty-five years with a renewal shall provide that upon Its termination all right, title, property and interest In or under the streets shall cease without com pensation, and further that all plants, the structure and appurtenances shall become the property of the city without compensation, but provision may be made for a fair valuation of such equipment. The period of a franchise is cut down from fifty years to twenty-five years, and the limitation to October 27, 1954, the date when the trust's present contracts expire, as stricken out. This provision has been known as the Ryan-Belmont "Joker." The provision that the city shall save the contractor harmless from suits is amended so that it shall not apply to suit for damages because of negligence of construction. METZ SAYS HE'S POWERLESS.

NOTABLES 0NTHE DEUTSCHLAND Marquis Dusmet di Simours Comes Over to See His Millionaire Father-in-Law. Monte Carlo Bank Breaker. There were lively times on the Hamburg-American Line steamship Dcutschland, which arrived to-day from Genoa and Aaplcs, when the ship was scarcely out ot the Mediterranean. Two first cabin passengers, both of them Philadclphians, felt, a broach In their lifelong friendship over the possibilities of steamers traveling with a propeller forward only, a topic which they discussed until both men were aiming blows at each other In the Deutschland's smoking room on Sunday morning last. Other passengers had lo interfere in the battle that raged for several exciting minutes all over the room, and for forty-eight hours there was an armed peace between the two belligerents.

Then Captain Kaempf took a hand and brought the two former friends together and made them shake hands. The "Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo" was among the cabin voyagers on the ship. He was said to be Leopold Lehman, who got the better of the famous gaming resort to the tune of something like $200,000, according to various reports on board. Mr. Lehman himself would neither deny, affirm nor specify his piny at Monte Carlo.

A passenger about whom there was considerable mystery was a young woman of the blonde type, rathor pretty, who came as Miss Marcsay Margitt. but who was said to be a Bironcss from Hungary, here on a plcasurt jaunt. She had with her a white poodle, and kept much to herseir. Marquis Dusmet di Simours, an Italian noble who, about a year ago, married a daughter of the late Henry Oliver, a Pittsburg millionaire, was also a passenger. He said he was going to see his wife's relations at Atlantic City.

He would not say that he was going In regard to financial matters, nor would ho deny It whon asked point blank whether his visit had a money intent. At the time of tho Ollver-Slmours wedding it was understood that about $3,000,000 was set tled upon the young marquis, who comes of a nobln but not, very rich Italian family. There were 500 cabin passengers on the Deutschland, which made the trip from the Mediterranean In record time with fnlrly good weather most of the way over.
