"He was here five days and was a lott or trouble," replied Vzarowlcz. "How much do you intend to charge Tor that?" "We are not ready to say yet.

Lepkowsk said he was ready to give up the $1,000 at anv time, but first he had to be paid for his trouble. In trying to arrange for a home for the old man. And, too, he said there would hawe to come out of the $1,000 enough to pay Lawyer Gru. He said he would not be ready until a day or so to say how much he would charge for keeping Wysocki. Wysocki says he didn't employ any lawyer, and that he doesn't owe Gru a cent.

Wysocki is being backed by the sentiment of the neighborhood, where it is understood that Lepkowsky is demanding $300 for his trouble and for keeping Wysocki Hve days. Lawyer Gru was asked by an Eagle reporter to point out any inaccuracies in the Eagle article on which he had threatened to bring suit. The lawyer read it over slowly, and could not point out a single misstatement, but he objected to the head, and said Lepkowsky had not taken the money, but had only received it- Gru admitted that the money was being kept by Lepkowsky on his advice and against the protests of Wysocki. "Everything is in perfectly legal form," said Gru. "Here is the mortgage and agreement." "But It isn't signed," objected the reporter.

"That makes no difference," said Gru. "The money has been paid over. I drew this mortgage to protect the old man. I had known him a great many years and it was for his own sake that I drew the agreement so he would have a mortgage on Lepkoweky's property and be in a position force Lepkowsky to keep his agreement' But the Calder Men Declare the People Bay' Ridge Yard Improvement to Be Was a Veteran of the Civil War, and as Pnless Giu's Bill Is Included, ud Little Chance for a Famine, Say WholesalersSituation Here and In Manhattan Unchanged.

Gru said yesterday that Lepkowsky had the money and was keeping it on his advice, and would continue to keep it. This admission on the part of the lawyer was made after he had tent the following letter to the Eagle: "To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: "My dear sir I have been consulted and retained by Vincent Lepkowsky.

of 676 Third avenue, Brooklyn, with reference to the false, libelous and grievously injurious article In your issue' of July 23, lf'04, bearing the caption, "Man of SO had A Butcher Took His Roil," with instructions to proceed in the conns of criminal and civil jurisdiction for proteciion and redress In his behalf, but before doing so, I write you to the end that you make retraction of the article affecting my client forthwith and give the retraction the same prominence in your paper that you did the original article. Trusting you will avail yourself of this opportunity and awaiting your immediate compliance as requested, I am, yours truly, GEORGE GRU." The article in the Eagle to which Gru referred did not even mention Vincent Le-powsky's name or give his address, but described a butcher living In the neighborhood of the saloon where old Wysockt's money was changed from the possession of Wysocki to the pocket of Lepkowsky. Nevertheless, the Eagle was anxious to make redress for any Injury that might have been done unwittingly, so it assigned one of its representatives to make a careful investigation and see if Mr. Lepkowski had been wronged. The result of the investigation was the discovery that Lepkowsky was holding $1,000 of Wysocki's money against the old man's repeated protests and that Lepkowsky was being backed up In his course Committee can controlled by Devoy, but be kept busy.

Tbe local union leaders are studiously ignoring the demands of the labor chiefs in Chicago that the Brooklyn and Manhattan men be ordered out.

The original act of 1903, creating the commission limited the expense of the entire work to $6,600,000, of which $5,000,000 was to be expended on the line of the Long Island Railroad and $1,500,000 in eliminating the crossings on the line of tbe Brighton Beach division of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company.

Half of the expense was to be borne respectively by the City of New York and balf by tbe railroad companies. The act was amended, however, last winter so as to permit an Increase of expenditure to provide for crossings of the proposed elevation or subway Improvement by highways not yet opened, but which, In the Judgment of the commission, should be provided for while tbe work Is In progress.

It was under Woglom's tuition that Martin Short did his first police work, and he regarded the old man as the best type of a police official.
