3 GRABBED TWO MONEY BAGS AND FLED FROM I STATION 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 station, 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 slow 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 Naumer to-day in the Myrtle avenue court on a charge of robbery, pleaded not guilty, was examined at his own request and was held in $2,000 bail for the Grand Jury. Henry mild, inoffensive appearing young fellow, who looked as if he might have been in hard luck.

Michael Gibbons, of 46 Sterling place, 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 a chair by the money board of an inside booth where no one was He was getting the money ready for 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 paesengers 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 ford and Fulton streets, when they heard Atlantic a avenue and the latter at South Oxthe 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 the officers along South Oxford, Fulton and Cumberland 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 the two bags of money were found in his possession.

Magistrate Naumer asked the defendant when he wished to have the 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 was a small child; that he was a waiter by profession and worked during the summer of 1905 for 1 Tim Sullivan and others at Coney Island. He had only been in this section for three days, his home 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 the foot of the elevated station stairs, some time after 1 o'clock, when he saw 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 them up and began to run. Witness, in answer to Magistrate Naumer, denied that he took the bags of money from the elevated station, but admitted picking them up in the street. He thought he was 80 intoxicated that he did not know what he was doing. One of the theorles 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 was able to run so well, if he was intoxicated.

It is said that the officers. who chased him, fired several shots from their revolvers before they ran him down.

E. DEMING OUTLINES PLAN. 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 allspices of the National Civic Federation, began in the rooms of the Board of Trade and Transportation, at 203 Broadway, Manhattan, this morning.

were present from almost every the country, men Delegates, prominent in civic and commercial as well ag literary and newspaper life. Oscar S. Straus, presidet of the conference, opened the meeting. He said: Oscar S. Straus spoke on "Reform of the Primaries and Election Laws." He said: "There is no subject to-day of more vital concern to the people of this great Democratio Republic, irrespective of party affiliatione, than that of the principles of popular government which the fathers of our republic wrested from the grasp of monarchial usurpation shail be handed down from generation to generation pure and undefiled.

This very conference is evidence of the fact that while we cannot escape the evils that threaten a democracy. we are not blind to their approach, nor shall we lack will and determination to eradicate them. The last elections in seven separate states 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 to the splendid courage and the aroused public conscience of the people in those statesvictories won over the intrenched bosses of the dominant parties. "The brave and fearless conflict between honest and dishonest politicians has seldom, it ever, won so signal and precious victorles 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 in New York, the prosecuting attorney in Boston, and by similar victories against long entrenched bossism under the stimulating helpfulness and uncompromising attitude of Secretary 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 their 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, and from this awakening has resulted a renewed effort to break the chains of boss rule and to reclaim their rights as members of their party and as free and independent American citizens. "The lessona of the last and many preceding elections accentuate the necessity for reforms along all the lines; hence the subjects for which we have assembled this conference to discuss and consider primary reform, ballot reform and corrupt practices. Let us not forget in the discussion of the topics of reform that will come before us. important. and necessary as they are, all these are but means to an end, and that no political contrivance however drastic.

can serve as a substitute for the indifference of the general body of electors, or for the lack of the ever watchful spirit of unselfsh patriotism." Mr. Straus introduced as the presiding officer of the session Josiah Quincy, former Mayor of Boston. John J. Delany. Corporation Counsel, representing Mayor McClellan, welcomed the delegates on behalf of the Mayor.

"The opinion of the people, whether good or bad, as expressed at the box, must be upheld," said Mr. Delany. long as ballot, government by the people shall endure this 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 great city here, probably the greatest in the world.

We hope by persistent effort to make it the 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 acceptable to the conference. Josiah Quincy of Boston declared that he believed that most of the reforms in the election system could be traced to the Australian ballot law, which dates back not more than fifteen years.

"I am sure," said Mr. Quincy, "that out of this conference will come much light in the further reforms of the primary and ballot laws." Horace E. Deming, 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 the same day as the first registry, at the same places as the election and with the same paraphernalia of the election. William D. Washburn, representing Mayor Jones of Minneapolis, a member of the Minnesota Legislature, described in detall the provisions of the law governing the Minnesota direct primary, which favors. Abraham S. Gilbert, a lawyer of 38 Park row, declared himself against the policy of direct nomination.

He favored the New York system, though admitting that there are defects in it. Adjournment was then taken until 2 o'clock. U. S. MARINE ARRESTED.

Accused of Burglary in East New York. Sergeant Says He Had Overstayed Leave. Arthur J. Kelly, 23 years old, one of Uncle Sam's marines from the Navy Yard, was charged with burglary in the Gates avenue court to-day, and held in $2,000 bail for examination.

He chased Kelly and at'rested him. Acting First Sergeant F. Birrer, of the Recruiting Company, was in day, and said he recognized Kelly as one Not his men, "He has overstayed his leave," said the officer.

"Judging by the charge there is against, him here I should say that he WAS likely to further overstay that leave," remarked, the court. HUSBAND PUNCHED HIM. Smith Was Found Hiding in a Closet by Mrs. Cannon. Edward Smith.

Says That Brooklyn Is Especially Interested in This Measure Against Present Monopoly. (Special to the Eagle.) Albany, March 6--The test of strength between the forces behind the Elsberg Rapid Transit bill and the amended City Club bill Introduced by Senator Page, will come to-night. 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 ill, and not able to be present move hie measure. He is on hand to-day to make the 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 term 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 that leases for seventy-five or one years will atindrea aot be permitted any longer. "Brooklyn is especially interested in this measure. The present monopoly cares nothing for the development of the city. It proposes to build extensions only where big profits are being realized. 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 chance 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 purposes, shall be advertised for at the same time. This arrangement will permit Rapid Transit Commission to award the contracts then separately or to the merger people, as it deems advisable. Other amendments provide that franchises may be granted for not longer than twentyfive 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 compensation, 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, ag stricken out.

This provision has been known as the RyanBelmont "joker." The provision that the city shall save the contractor harmless from suits is amended so that it shall not apply to suits for damages because of negligence of construction. METZ SAYS HE'S POWERLESS. Willing to Pay Livingston Street Property Owners, but Must Await Report From Corporation Counsel. The following statement was given out to-day at the finance department: "Controller Herman A. Metz has received a number of from property owners in Livingston urging the payment letters, to them of their awards for their property, taken in the widening proceedings.

These property owners set forth that they do not know just where they stand or how they can proceed. In many instances their tenants have been ousted and their houses destroyed, and in others the owners have been put to considerable expense remodeling their buildings and also been compelled to assume new obligations to secure a home. "The Controller states that while he has every desire to accommodate the property owners in Livingston street, he cannot do anything until the report of the commissioners of estimate and assessment has reached him from the corporation counsel. He realizes the fact that the delay in settling this proceeding and paying the awards is vexatious and creates, in some instances actual hardships, and states that as 800n as he is placed in position to act through the processes of the law governing such cases, he will exert his utmost endeavor to settle the matter promptly, but that in the meantime he is unable to do anything."

(Special to the Eagle.) Matteawan, N. March 6--Charles H. Brett died here yeeterday, in the 89th year of his age. The deceased was greatly respected for his Christian character and modest, unassuming manner. He was a descendant of Lieutenant Roger Brett, of the royal navy, who married Catheryn Rombout, an only daughter of Francis Rombout, a grantee of the Rombout patent under King James I1.

This bride, born New York City in 1687, afterward became known in the Colonial hietory of Fishkill as "Madame Brett."

NOTABLES ON THE DEUTSCHLAND Marquis Dusmet di Simours Comes Over to See His Millionaire Father-in-Law. Monte Carlo Bank There were lively times on the HamburgAmerican Line steamship Deutschland, which arrived to-day from Genoa and Naples, when the ship was scarcely out the Mediterranean.

Two first cabin passengers, both of them Philadelphians, breach 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 to 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 play at Monte Carlo. A passenger about whom there was considerable mystery was a young woman of the bionde type, rather pretty, who came as Miss Marcsay Margitt, but who was said to be a Baroness from Hungary, here on a pleasure jaunt. She had with her a white poodle, and kept much to herself. 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, Dor would he deny it when asked point blank whether his visit had a money intent. At the time of the Oliver-Simours wedding it was understood that about $3,000.000 was settied upon the young marquis, who comes of a noble 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 fairly good weather most of the way over.

Engines were called out last evening to extinguish fire which destroyed a load of hay and a wagon that was being driven along Glenmore avenue, near TAle Inadale street. The wagon was in charge of owner, Tony Monticate, of Atlantic avenue, Woodhaven, L. I.

As he was passing the corner of Insdale street a crowd of boys tried to steal a ride on the rear end. It is not known whether they set fire to the hay or not, but smoke was soon seen coming from the load, and in a few minutes It was ablaze. Montieate knew nothing of the fire until warned, and lost no time in unharnessing his horse from the burning load, which was totally destroyed, TO MEET IN ALBANY.

HOPES TO GO TO A HOSPITAL. Manager of Brooklyn Medical Journal Too Enthusiastic-He Believed Blake Was Cured. For a couple of weeks John Blake, who lives on the third floor of the tenement house' at 330 Maujer street, was of the opinion that he was on a fair road to recovery from a bad case of consumption. After that time, however, his advance was checked and slowly he grew worse, until now, he says, he despairs of ever being cured. The hope of recovery came to him, he says, as a result of a patent medicine which was given him by the Bureau of Charities.

Blake is a longshoreman. He lives in the Maujer street house, a neatly arranged apartment, though without many conveniences, with his wife and six children. There is not much chance for air in the place, but everything that could add to the comfort of the patient was readily accomplished. While working sometime ago, Mr. Blake says, he contracted a cold.

This must have developed consumption, if he has had that disease, he says, for this cannot be hereditary, as no one in his family ever con4 plained of the disease. His father, he says, is still hale and hearty at the age of 85. When he first began to feel symptoms of the disease he went to various dispensaries in the section. Some gave him medicine that afforded relief, but none seemed to complish a permanent cure. One doctor, he says, reported to the Brooklyn Bureau of Charities that he had consumption.

Then he the only received time a he new was told prescription. he had Chastumps tion, he says. It was a patent medicine and the bottle, when shown 1,0 a reporter this morning was nearly empty. The label on the bottle contained the name of "Pulmonal." It was 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 recommended.

When he began to take the medicine Mr. Blake says he gained some in weight. and did feel a little better. The improvement lasted for about two weeks, he says, and. then he became worse than ever.

He 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, in a letter to the newspaper says: "Let. us all pray that the Bureau of Charities has found something to aid in eliminating the white plague." The letter goes on to state that Mr. Blake is entirely cured, but he looked very far from being in good health this morning. He told al reporter that he was.

08 a last resort, to go to a hospital either to-day or to-morrow. "There is absolutely no truth in the statement that the medicine furnished by the bureau cured me. am worse than ever was. It takes money to get cured, but I have spent all I had during my illness," he said. The man has continual cough and looks very much as though he was in the last stages of the disease.

SAYS WIFE IS IN CONTEMPT. Jarashow Claims That She Has Annoyed Him, Despite Order of Court on Separation, Israel L. Jarashow, a dealer in paints and oils, living and doing business at 108 Vernon avenue, Long Island City, has secured from Supreme Court Justice Garretson an order directing his wife, Mary, from whom he has secured a legal separation, to appear in court next Thursday morning and show cause why she should not be punished for contempt of court. Jarashow alleges that she has failed to live up to, or obey the decree of separation, which directed her not to interfere with, or molest the plaintiff in any manner whatever. The separation had been Becured by Jarashow largely on the ground that his wife was "cruel and inhuman" toward him.

In petitioning for the contempt order he alleges that Mrs. Jarashow has repeatedly annoyed him by standing in front of his shop and raising a disturbance, by screaming, calling him names and threatening him with violence. STRONG AS STEEL The Kind of Nerves That Can Do Things A young athlete writes concerning the method by which he acquired steady nerves, and also of some good missionary work he has done: "About a year ago." he says, "my nerves began to grow unsteady and I found myself troubled with sleeplessness. I set an enquiry on foot, and became convinced that the coffee I drank was the cause of the trouble and determined to quit it right there. "So I got a package of Postum Food Coffee and Mother and I prepared it.
