NORTHGLIFFE HERE; RAPS MILITANTS Says Their Fighting Tactics Have Set Back Cause Indefinitely. GIVES VIEWS ON NEW TARIFF. Declares It Will Make Americans More Cosmopolitan New Bates Will Not Hurt England. LORD NORTHCLIFFE'S VERDICT ON GOLF. "I reward the it'olf club nil the natural antidote to the telephone and to the concentration of bnni-iicmm which the telephone has brought Lord Northehiffe principal proprietor of the London Times, Dally Mail, Daily Mirror and some slxtay other English publications, arrived in New York today, stopping at the Hotel St.

Regis, and bringing with him a feeling of great surprise that Americans should be so keen ly interested in the suffrage question and tactics across the water. He expressed the opinion that militant suffrage had become rather a wornout question and that it had put back indefinitely any chance of votes for women In England. It was also asserted by Lord Northcllffe that the suffrage advocates In his own country would be far wiser if they used the vote-getting tactics of the American women. They employ good looks and good manners," was his Lordship's summary of our American suifrago advocates Although he had Just arrived from Washington this morning and had not yet bad timo to become settled at the St. Regis, the most famous of foreign news paper men gave an exclusive interview to The Eagle, with the word that he was "always glad to talk to The Eagle." In this, ho spoke briefly on the suffrage question and the new tariff which be came law last night here, reserving his chief enthusiasm, however, for the gen oral subject of golf, a game at whose shrine he has become so ardent a worshipper that he is willing to answer its call even at 4 o'clock in the morning.

Thinks New Tariff Will Make Us More Cosmopolitan. On the subject ot the tariff, Lord Northcllffe Is Inclined to believe that il will make America and Ameilcans more cosmopolitan. He also seeB in the pro visions of the new law a likelihood that America will be placed on an equality with Great Britain as a manufacturing export nation. But Engiana nas noiuins to fear from any possible invasion ot foreign markets by America, he believes, lor the reason that that country Is ex- nerlencine ueriod of wonaertui pros perity and has orders that will keep its mills busy for years. These opinions were ail aiciaieu us r.m-.i vnrtbclifiR and taken oown at nis express command in long hand.

His lord ship assorted that tne sudjocis ero iu ticklish to be taken up unless the facts were set down in black and white, and said that he had been a newspaper man too long not to know that the written interview was the best interview. it this fact that he never torgets that he 's a newspaper man which maltej Lord Northclite a unique figure, ui goou lip.ieht. but ait tall, ana wun a oig ooay that does not suggest fatness in the least, his appearance belies his activity. Until he sneaks, the man who sees him for the Hrst timo is inclined to believe him indo lent and even sluggish. But when he opens his mouth.

It. is the signal to move und to move quickly. Apparently carelessly indifferent, lie suddenly" wakes up to a question and then goes to It liko a gatling gun getting Into action. Sharp and incisive in his speech, he will not wait for an instant for a comment. For tho man who has any business with him, of any kind, It Is necessary to know exactly what is wanted of his Lordship, to say it ns briefly and as concisely as possible, and then, having Becured an answer or an action, to get out of the way as quickly as possible.

Lord Northcliffe Is Particular About Interviews. "What do you want of me?" he said today when an Interview was requested, speaking the words with an abrupt suddenness that was like a command. Told thut he was wanted to speak about suffrage, about golf, about the tariff, about President Wilson and Mr. Bryan, and about his impression of conditions in America, ho answered: "Wilson and Bryan? No. I can't talk about that.

And there's too much to talk about under such a heading as conditions here. But 1 don't mind speaking about suffrage. But that's dead, you know. It's all rot to think it's a live issue. But, now, let me see, you want sn interview about suffrage and golf and the tariff-here, got your notebook?" Tho absence of a notebook didn't bother his Lordship in the least.

"I've got notebooks and everything." he said. "Sit down here. Get out your pencil. Now take this down." And Lord Nothcliffe dictated as follows: Lord Northcllffe, principal proprietor of the London Times, tho Dally Mail, Dally Mirror and Blxty other publications, whose visit to The Eagle establishment will be within the recollection of our readers, is in town again, after a visit to his model city, at Grond Falls, Newfoundland, where he 1b operating paper mills that supply his newspapers in London, Paris and other cities.

I FOR CHIEF JUDGE OF APPEALS COURT Brooklyn Jurist Will Be Chosen by Democratic State Committee at Convention This Afternoon. MURPHY IS FAVORABLE. William N.

Dykman May Be Named for Associate Judge, but Is Encountering Some Opposition. That Judge Willard Bartlett of Brooklyn would be the Democratic candidate for Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals was settled an hour before the Democratic Stato Committee met at the Hotel Knickerbocker this afternoon to nominate a candidate for that place and for an Associate Judge of the Court of Appeals. William N. Dykman of Brooklyn was considered to be in the lead for the associate Judgeship, among the State leaders, although a fight was being waged upon this slate because both men come from one county, Kings. Justice Samuel Greenbaum nnd Justice M.

Warley Plat-zek, both of Manhattan, were considered as possible substitutes for Dykman, if the fight against him was successful. First Deputy Attorney General Joseph A. Kellogg of Falls was in the running as a compromise candidate between Greenbaum and Platzek, and had behind him the support of many of the up-State leaders. It May Be Bartlett and Elkus. The name of Abrain I.

Elkus, a member of the Board of Education, was suggested at 1:30 o'clock this afternoon, at a conference of the Democratic leaders, as a substitute for Dykman, as Democratic candidate for Associate Judge, and there was a feeling among the Manhattan lead- ers that Elkus would be the man. In fact one man, who is very close to Charles F. Murphy, and who is one ot his lieutenants in the State Legislature, declared definitely that the final slate would be Bartlett and Elkus. Tammany Leader Charles F. Murphy arrived in the Knickerbocker Hotel shortly after noon time.

He was met by a voloy of questions from newspapermen. "How about Bartlett?" Murphy was asked. would favor Judge Bartlett," he said. "How about the ticket with Bartlett and Greenbaum on it?" he was asked. "That is a good ticket," he replied.

"How about Dykman?" "He is a good man. They are all good candidates, boys. I only have one vote In the State Committee," said Murphy. "What is that? Only one vote, Mr. Murphy?" exclaimed one of the newspaper men, and Murphy Just grinned and passed on.

Parker and Fox to Urge Indorsement of Werner and Hiscock. Ex-Judge Alton B. Parker, Democratic presidential candidate in 1901, and Austen G. Fox appeared as a committee from tho State Bar Association to urge the Democrats to indorse Werner and Hiscock, the Republican candidates for Court of Appeals. Mr.

Murphy was asked what success they might expect. Will Werner and Hiscock be in dorsed?" "Why, they are Republicans!" replied the Tammany leader, raising his eye brows in surprise. It was said that there was considerable friendly sentiment for the two Republican candidates anion the Democratic State Committeemen from the sections from which these judges come. But it was declared that these men favored Hiscock and Werner purely from a selfish standpoint, believing that their in-doi'senient would aid in the local fights. Justice Samuel Sesbury's name was wiped off the slate because he Is a Progressive candidate for Associate Judge and on a platform espousing the recall of judges.

The Democrats were favorable to Seabury, but they refused to support the platform he advocates. MRS. HEYESUED FOR $1,000. Woman Who Aided Her in Divorce Suit Is Plaintiff. Mrs.

Blanche Williams Heye, who was refused $78,000 yearly alimony by Justice Aspinall in the marital action between herself and George G. Heye, the wealthy Manhattan banker, is In legal difficulties Incidental to that suit. Today the law firm of Olcott, Gruber, Bonynge Mc-Manus filed with County Clerk Dcvoy a suit against her for 51,000. The plaintiff in the action is Max Grossman, who says he is the assignee of ono Flora Lebor. The complaint states that Flora lias turned over ner claim to Grossman.

It appears, so tho complaint alleges, that Flora claims she was employed by Mrs. Heye to perform sonic work in connection with the divorce action of Heye against Heye. This was between March 28, 1913, and July 11, 1013, and, at the same time, Grossman say3, she "advanced money" and performed the services required, for which there was to be a stated compensation of $1,000. This hasn't been paid her, and the plaintiff demands judgment for $1,000 with Interest. FRANK EXECUTION STAYED.

Kunemund said today that he had been out riding with young Glass, and at one o'clock this morning they had picked up a man and a woman In the neighborhood of the Garrison Inn. The couple complained that they had been left behind Ty their friends in another automobile, nd that they had failed to find a taxicab to take them to the Douglas Manor Inn, where they said they lived. Neither Glass nor Kunemund had tho slightest idea who the couple were, but without making inquiries they placed th; couple in the reai seat of the machine and started for at a good clip The upBet took place at a sharp turn in the Bayside Boulevard, near Third place almost in front of the house of James Corbett, the former pugilist. Kunemund admitted today that the machine was going at a fairly good rate of speed, and a spot of soft dirt in the road caused the tires to skid. The big touring car turned turtle, throwing Mrs.

Brady, Just prior to sailing for Europe on the trip on which he died, sent for a man very close to Governor Sulzer, and sent back through this cmissury an offer to aid In financing a State-wide war on Charles F. Murphy, with whose policies and management Mr. Brady expressed himself as being extremely dissatisfied. Mr. Brady said to this man: "As you know, the Governor is an old friend of mine.

I want to offer him my aid in his fight against Murphy. You tell tho Governor that I will aid him in fight in Albany County against the Murphy machine, or in any other part of the State." Following this statement, Mr. Brady asked what could be done in Albany County, and he was told that the Governor was In need of newspapers which would stand for him against the pressure of the Murphy organization. He listened to this plan and agreed to build up in Albany County a newspaper that would be big enough to fight the Governor's battles. Mr.

Brady said that he had not seen the Governor personally for some time, and that he was desirous of having the ex ecutlve know how he was prepared to stand in regard to a fight on Murphy. The conversation between Mr. Brady and the Sulzer emissary occurred within three or four days of the time when Mr. Brady sailed for Europe. On this trip occurred his death.

It is an open secret here that Mr. Brady was anxious to do what he could for the Governor and that he offered to help him in any way he could. Brady is credited with having offered the Governor $20,000 for his campaign, The Governor is said to have refused the money. Say Sulzer Refused Offered by Racetrack Interests. The statement made for the Board of Managers that a fund of $17,000 was raised for Governor Sulzer's campaign by the race track interests is met here today by the counter statement that the Gov ernor was offered this money and refused to accept it.

He sent it back. According to the story of the managers they have secured evidence of the fact that the fund was raised by tracing telegrams which passed between Albany and Watertown. As The Eagle stated some tio ago, the managers have subpenaed the Albany managers of the two big telegraph companies to produce all telegrams which passed through Albany, either to or from the Governor and the men who have been most closely associated with him. Tho Sulzer men, however, feel no fear In regard to this fund. They are anxious to have the story come to light, as they say it will show the Governor in a good light.

The managers do not claim to have traced the fund and they make no allegation that it was received by tho Governor. They confine their statement to the fact that telegrams secured by them indlcato that a fund of $17,000 was raised by the racetrack interests for the Governor's campaign. The Sulzer counsel and the Governor are huving a merry time over the preparations for their defense. It Is only merry, however, to the cynical onlooker. It is mighty serious and grave business to them.

Some of the attorneys are of the opinion that rather than allow the Governor to take tho stand it would be better to rest the case on the direct proof so far put in and lot it go to' the jurors as it stands. These men claim that the Board of Managers have not proved their case. They concede that the story of the Frawley Committee has been substantiated in so far as it relates to campaign contributions, but they say all ot the other charges have fallen to the ground. If the Governor has anything further to fear by a merciless cross-examination, these men contend, and If there are chapters of his life which might be dragged into the light to his own detriment, they believe it would be better for him not to take the. stand at all.

Set against these men are tho Governor and certain of his friends, who tell him that he has said he would fight tho case through, and it Is now up to him to make good. These advisers state that tho Governor ought not to expert and ought not to get the vote of a single member of the Court of Impeachment If he does not appear In person to nnswer his accusers. if Sulzer agrees not to testify, there is ground for the statement that the defense wiU rest without putting on a single witness. The record, as it stands, cjntalns charges damaging to tho Governor's repu- tatton, it Is declared, but does not make good the high sounding attacks of counsel for the board of managers. 1 18 SEAMEN PERISH Drown in Collision Between Steamships in North Sea.

Four others of the 'Garrdeuia's craw were picked up alive. Colonel Sailing, Denies Secret Pact Between Democrats and the Progressives. FLING AT JUDGE WERNER.

Says Judge Admitted Privately He Would Give a Different Decision if Case Was Tried Again Before Him. Before he sailed from Brooklyn for South America today on the steamship Van Dyck, Colonel Theodore RooseveS. Sred some more hotshot at William Barnes, whose statement, printed in the morning papers, alleging a secret arrangement between the Democratic State Committee and the Progressive party to nominate candidates for the Court of Appeals, he characterized as "one ol Barnes' habitual lies." Colonel Roosevelt also attributed to Judge Werner, of the Court ot Appeals, the statement that if he had to determine the Ives ease over again he would render a different decision. The Ives decision held that the workman's compensation act was unconstitutional, although, the Supreme Court of the United States held just the reverse. The action of the Court of Appeals In that case ha3 been much criticised by Colonel Roosevelt, and he devoted a considerable portion of his farewell speech, delivered at the banquet last nigfht, on the New York Theater roof garden, to pointing out why he considered such a decision an injustice.

The Ives case has been used constantly as an illustration of the Colonel's contention that where the courts exercise legislative functions, their decisions should be reviewed by tho people. Why the Progressives Didn't Indorse Judge Werner. Colonel Roosevelt said that Judge Werner was not Indorsed by the Progressive convention because, while he admitted that he might nave changed his opinion in the Ives case, he declined to make that statement publicly. "I want you to dwell on tho fact that I would not have said a word about this," continued the Colonel, "had it not been presented by the other side, by Judga Werner's friends, without denial or correction." Colonel Roosevelt said he had been Informed about a telephone conversation Judge Werner is alleged to have had with a Mr. Stern of Rochester.

He did not identify Mr. Stern any more exullcitly than that. Stern went to Theodore Douglass Robinson, who is a State enmmittae- man, and a relative of Colonel Roosevelt, told mm tnat be had talked with Judge Werner in relation to the Ives decision, said the Colonel, and that Judge Werner had said that he would have given a different decision if he had to pass on the case again. Colonel Roosevelt said he waited for several days and not having received either a confirmation or a denial ot tho story he called up Judge Werner on the telephone and asked him if he had made the remark attributed to him. Judge Werner, he said, admited that he had, but that he was talking privately at the time.

"If you will make that same statement publicly, 1 would get the convention to indorse you," is the Colonel's explanation of what followed over the telephone. Judge Werner said ho could not do that, and he failed to get the indorsement. Was Ready to Make Full Speech, but Had to Cut It Down. When Colonel Roosevelt received the newspapermen in his stateroom on the Van Dyck today he was handed a copy of a morning newspaper in which appeared the latest statement of Boss Br.rnes. In his statement Barnes said: "Mr.

Roosevelt may assure his allegiance to his Progressive followers at a banquet, but until he explains why lie interpolated in his speech at Rochester au attack upon Judge Werner which was not in hU oiiginal copy given to the press, no utterance that he makes on this subject can command confidence." In reference to the alleged secret arrangement between the Democrats and the Progressives to nominate candidates for Judges of the Court of Appeals, Colonel Roosevelt said: "That is just one of Barnes' habitual lies. 1 cm very glad you showed that to me. There not only was no arrangement of any kind entered Into, but when Judga Senbury wan nominated by us he said that he would run whether he was Indorsed by the Democrats or not." The Colonel also eddrd that he was perfectly willing last night to deliver tho speech about the South American republics which he had left out, but that it would have taken too long nnd that as he was asked to cut down his address to forty-five minutes, ho had to leave part of his talk out. "There were really two speeches," he said. "The one I had not time to deliver was sent out by mistake." Host of Friends et the Pier to Bid the Colonel Goodby.

Colonel Roosevelt sailed at 1 o'clock from Pier 8, Brooklyn. He never looked better than he did today. With him went Mrs. Roosevelt and a large party. Anthony Flala, who left a position in this city to take of tho fitting out of the Colonel's expedition, was In charge of the camp and field equipment.

Ho also took with him from to 50,000 feet ot films, which will be used In taking moving pictures to be exhibited in this country when Mr. Fiala returns.

Two naturalists, one of them Frank Cherry, who is with the American Museum of Natural History, will atvompan Mm in his travels through the great forests. With the Colonel when he arrived at the pier was his daughter Ethel, who recently married Dr.

Derby: Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, W. Emlcn Roosevelt and hla son, Theodore Roosevelt, Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, and Quen-tln. His time was occupied before sailed In receiving a host of friends Md Judge Willard Bartlet Will Probably Be Named by Convention Today.

SAY GOBBLER WAS MURDERED Police Find Consolo Dead Shop With Head Crushed. in The peculiar circumstances surrounding the murder of Joseph Consolo, a shoemaker, who was found dead with his head cruBhed and a rope around his neck, in the rear of his shop, at 1033 DeKalb avenue, today, are puzzling the police of the Vernon avenue station. At first they were inclined to think he had committed FUicide, but a closer investigation convinced them tbat suicide would have been an impossibility. The man had evidently been dead for thirty-six hours when found. Neighbors had not seen him around his shop since Wednesday night, and his continued absence finally aroused the suspicions of David Ackerman, who keeps a stationer's store at 1031 DeKalb avenue, and he mentioned the matter to Patrolman Michael Cardlin.

Cardlin tried the door of the little shop this morning and found it locked. The shoemaker lived in the rear, but all pounding failed to arouse him, and the patrolman finally went around to the rear of the house, forced a window and stepped in. He fouud the shoemaker lvine stretched on his back on the floor piece of rope, fastened about his neck, extended to a heavy packing caso about i three feet distant, to which it was tied. The patrolman, upon looking further, discovered that the whole top of the dead man's head had been crushed in as though by some blunt instrument. It was this fact which finally led the detectives assigned to the case to scout tho idea of suicide.

The rope, they figured, was probably a clumsy attempt on the part of the murder or murderers to make it appear as though the shoemaker had taken his own life. Acting Captain Daniel Carey and Detectives Moran, O'Hara, Owen and Dully took charge of the case. A pocketboolc full of money which they found in tho shop seemed to dispose of the idea that robbery could have been the motive of the crime and they were inclined to look on it as a Black Hand vendetta. There were blood-stains on the pocketbook and traces of the fingerprints In the stains which thp police ore carefully preserving In the hope that they will lead to the Identification of Consolo's assailants- WORLD'S SERIES BETTING. Most of It of the Freak Order, but Even Money Eules on the Result.

Many bets on the world's series were recorded at Fred Schumm's, Manhattan, today. Most of the wagers were of the freakish nature and the only bet on the result of the series was st $300 even money that, the Athletics would win. In cne Instance $1,000 evn money was wagered that New York would win the first game. Other bets were: Five hundred dollars even money that Bender would pitch tho frst gnmv; $500 even that Marquard would pitcn the tirst gome; $100 even that Mu-thewsou would win the ftvt game he pitchtl; $200 even tbat Dcmarel would win tho first game he pitched; $30 even that the Giants would make tho first error; $50 even Baker would not make a home run in the first three games; $113 even thut the Athletics would make tho first hit; to $J00 that the winning team in the first game makes as many runs in ono inning as the losing tea mdocs in nine. There is an uncovered bet of $100 to $2,000 taht the Giants do not win a single game.

BEER CONSUMPTION GROWS. So Says Colonel Jacob Ruppert, at Brewers Convention. The Fifty-third Annual Convention ot the United States Brewers Association opened at tho Hotel Shelburne this morning. Colonel Jacob Ruppert, of New V'ork, delivering the opening address. He declared that the beer sales of the past year had continued to increase, in spite of prohibition, and expressed the opinion that it must be a great disappointment to the opponents of the saloon find that all their efforts merely resulted In a large Increase In the family trade.

"So far as the sale of draft beer is concerned." declared Colonel Ruppert, "our business is largely a city business, and the sentiment of the cities Is strongly against the prohibition of the sale of beer. "Beer 13 the best popular drink that has yet been invented, and nothing has been made or discovered yet that will take its place. All the efforts of our opponents to discredit It In popular favor have proven futile, and I feel perfectly confident that tho use of beer will become more general as timo goes on, and that sentiment for It will be Increased Just In proportion to the Intelligence we display In putting facta before the people. Tho object wo are seeking to attain is not to get people to drink more beer, but to get more peoplo to drink beer." AGED WOMAN STRICKEN. The police are trying to find out something about the identity ot a woman, 60 years old, dressed in mourning, who was found speechless, and evidently suffering from some form ot aphasia, at the corner Pearl and Fulton streets at about 10.

o'clock this morning. She was taken to the Brooklyn hospital, by Surgeon An-werde, who Is of the opinion that she Is a victim of apoplexy. She is about 5 feet, 2 Inches, In height and weighs about 100 pounds. There is nothing about her clothing to indicate her identity. 1 A The new tariff is only a few hours old, but the temperture is lower already.

NO WRIT FOR GALLAGHER Justice Kelly Forced to Decide Against ex-Captain. Supreme Court Justice Kelly today decided that, no matter what bis individual opinion might be admitting It to be against his decision he was forced to refuse a writ of mandamus to ex-Pollco Captain Bernard Gallagher, who seeks to have the way he was retired from the police force passed upon by the courts. Gallagher applied for the writ, claiming that he was forced to retire and asserting oppression and duress on the part of his superiors. After Justice Kelly heard the argument he decided he was bound by the decisions which, in effect, make police captains public officials, and, when the place from which a captain is demoted or retired is filled, relegated to a quo warranto proceeding tor such relief as may be deemed to be due the ousted captain. Assistant Corporation Counsel Charles J.

Druhan appeared for Commlslsoner Waldo. On the argument it was snown that Gallagher's place had been filled since his retirement, and Mr. Druhan Insisted that Gallagher's only remedy was by a quo warrauto proceeding.
