STATION HOUSE GOT NO NEWS.

But One of the Residences Was Next Door to Kenny Sutherland's-Singular Apathy of Police Force. Bensonhurst residents were kept very much awake during the early hours of this morning by burglars, who nearly succeeded in cracking three houses. Revolver shots were fired and those residents who ordinarily are sound sleepers were aroused from their beds and were kept awake for the remainder of the morning. There was more noise for two hours in Bensonhurst this morning than has 'been heard in a long time, but the police seemingly were not aroused at When a reporter called at the police station he was met with the usual "nothing doing" answer when he asked for news. According to the desk sergeants at the Bath Beach station on Nineteenth avenue, nothing has happened in the precinct in a long time.

About 4 o'clock this morning an attempt was made to enter the handsome home of William S. Crossman on Bay Thirty-first street, near Cropsey avenue. The house is opposite the beautiful home of Mrs. William H. West, widow of the late minstrel, and next door to the new house recently purchased by Kenneth F.

Sutherland. The burglars who gained entrance in the West house and got away with considerable were never recently, caught. It is only a few weeks ago that an attempt was made to enter the Crossman house and also the Sutherland residence, but the folks sleeping in the houses were awakened by the noises and they frightened off the would-be burglars. This morning the strangers made another unsuccessful attempt, but the residents in the vicinity were aroused by the firing of several pistol shots by some one at the Crossman home and many more took up the shooting bee. Some time before the attempt to enter the Crossman house was made the family of Thomas Walsh on Twenty-third avenue, near Eighty-sixth street, was aroused by strange noises.

The dogs in the yard were also up and about and they set up a terrible barking. Two men were seen hurrying across the lots in the direction of Coney Island and Mr. Walsh, when seen this morning at his office, said he would be greatly pleased if the burglars who have been terrorizing the neighborhood could be caught. Shortly before the attempt to enter the Walsh house was made, the store and residence of Henry Orloff, on Eighty-sixth street, near Twenty-second avenue, was visited. The house is equipped with burglar alarms, and the attempt this morning was the third in six months.

The thieves tried to get into the building by forcing a rear window, but, after working on the window awhile, they gave it up and went around to the front of the building and tried to force open the front doors. They were scared away by both the ringing of the burglar alarm and the shouts of' Mr. Orloff. The latter said this morning he went out on the street and shouted at the top of his voice for the police, but received no answer. He then went up to the corner of Twenty-second avenue in the hopes of finding one there, but, he said, he saw none.

The attempt to enter the store, he said, was made about 2 o'clock, but he failed to see a policeman until 6 o'clock, relieving time for the police, and then the officer who came to his place said he had been on the corner a long time and must surely have been there around 2 o'clock. Orloff said he saw a strange man escaping over the fences in the rear, of his property when he was aroused by the ringing of the burglar alarm. Recently burglars have forced their way into buildings in Bensonhurst and have succeeded in getting away without being bothered by the police. At the first fall meeting of the several taxpayers associations, to be held shortly, the matter of better police protection will be brought up for discussion. It has been stated that a dozen attempts have been made within the past three months to get into houses, and the residents are thoroughly frightened.

NAVAL RESERVES' OUTING. Part of First Battalion Had a Field Day at Amityville-Winners in Contests. (Special to the Eagle.) Amityville, L. September 25-About twenty members of the First Battalion of the New York Naval Reserves spent Sunday here, in charge of Lieutenant William McGrath and Ensign L. E.

Graff, the latter a well known member of the Amityville summer colony. The outing was greatly enjoyed and is to be an annual event hereafter. Saturday was made a field day and the sports were many and varied, including running races, swimming races, sailing, etc. The 200-yard dash was won by Seaman Wildneur in good time, while Gun Captain Griffiths caried off the honors in the dinkey race. In the boat race Gunner's Mate Clark demonstrated his ability as a yachtsman and won easily with Warren Purdy's sloop Grace Hastings.

Seaman Barth was the winner of the cross country run, covering the mile in about eight minutes. This contest was the most exciting event of the day. The team started from Clock's boulevard, swam one inlet, raced over the meadows and finished by swimming out to the club pier. CHAUFFEUR FINED $50. Brewer Huber's Employe Fell Into Amityville Auto Trap a Second Time.

(Special to the Eagle.) Amityville, L. September 25-Fred Liebler, chauffeur for F. M. Huber, the well known brewer, who is occupying the Ryan villa at Bay Shore, was given a second taste of the severity of Amityville justice yesterday. Liebler and his employer were on their way east when Sergeat Ketcham hailed them.

They at once realized they were caught in Amityville's famous auto trap. The timers claim that the car covered the course at a twentyeight mile an hour clip, and Liebler at once decided to plead guilty and paid a fine of $50, imposed by Justice Wills, it being Liebler's second offense. Mr. Huber was present but refused to take more than a passive interest in the proceeding. The punishment for the third offense 13 imprisonment.

Mr. Huber is a son-inlaw of Louis Bossert, who last autumn purchased the Hyde place at West Islip. There are fewer motorists arrested here now, and occasionally a nominal fine of $5 is imposed. BAKERY BURNED. A fire in the bakery of Frank Ziemer, at 1260 Herkimer street, yesterday afternoon, damaged the property to the extent of $1,000.

The loss was covered by insurance. MAGGIE AND BECKY ARE UP IN ADAMS STREET COURT One Waitress Accuses the Other of Hitting Her Eye With a DOOLEY HAS TO PLAY SOLOMON He Throws Out Becky's Charge--Dry Goods Young Men Throng the Court Room. Margaret McNulty, in defending herself from a charge of assault made against her by Rebecca Bearor, in the Adams street court this morning, declared that Rebecca had threatened to "ruin her reputation and send her to jail," if she had to steal money to get witnesses against her. Rebecca had a number of young women to swear that Margaret had assailed her with a coffee cup and had cut her eye so that it bled. There was much interest in the case, for many of the young men in the dry goods district took half a day off to hear how it was coming out.

Each of the women had partisans, but Becky had the most, for she is chic--like Thackeray's "coldblooded heroine--and makes friends. Margaret and Becky and the other shapely young women are all waitresses in a restaurant in the heart of the dry goods district, where many dry goods young men are in the habit of eating their noonday food. And Margaret and Becky and Sadie and Mamie, and Rosie and Gracie are all quite friendly with their customers, do not disdain a tip now and then, and gossip so much that the entire following of young men customers had all the facts in the great assault case, from the two standpoints, before it came into court. Margaret and Becky are not over plump, but they are well built and dress with enough care to give them a certain modish style. The trouble that brought Becky and Margaret and other girls and the young men from the glove and blanket counters into court broke out many weeks ago, but culminated on September 13, which was Thursday, when Margaret, it was alleged, hit Becky with the cup when Becky was going into the kitchen with some empty dishes.

Becky went to court and had a warrant issued for Margaret's arrest, and Policeman Fitzmorris, of the court squad, brought her into the presence of Magistrate Dooley. There were two lawyers in the case, for when Becky heard that Margaret had secured counsel she got one too. And the two barristers worked hard for their money this morning. The story of the complainant came first, and it was to the effect that the assault with the teacup was wholly unprovoked and unexpected. In fact, Becky said she did not have a second's intimation.

of what was about to happen, and had 110 chance to defend herself. Becky's witnesses all swore that the assault was unprovoked, and one of them denied, with flaming face, that she was angry with Margaret because Margaret had refused to lead an irregular life when she (the witness) proposed it. The story of all of them was that Margaret was in the kitchen, and met Becky as Becky was coming in, laden with many dishes, and that she picked up a cup and let Becky have it in the face. Then Becky staggered and almost fell, and there were hot cloths put on her eye to take down the swelling and make her presentable out in the dining-room. Margaret said that Becky had been picking at her for months just because they had a little trouble.

Becky's sister is married to Margaret's brother, so that there may have been family misunderstandings. Becky lives far away from Margaret, the first at 284 Warren street and the second at 1260 Prospect place. I "Becky had been angry with me for a long time," said Margaret, "and she tried to drive me from my job. She said that she would steal money, to get eyen with me, and she accused me, before the girls, one morning, of having stolen a shirt waist from a dry goods It was this way: I had gone to the store to get some waists, for they were selling them cheap, and I bought one, and after I had it it did not fit me--was not my styleSo I had it exchanged for a book. I went to the credit counter with it, and Becky saw.

me there, and the mean thing told the girls in the restaurant that I had stolen the shirt waist. "And I did not strike her with a cup. I struck her with my hand. That was after she had given me a push with her elbow, a push in the side that made me black and blue and kept me in the house, and I was treated with alcohol and hot cloths to get relieved of the pain." Margaret's sister told about the bruises on the side and the alcohol and the hot flannels, and Magistrate Dooley believed Margaret's story and dismissed the complaint of assault. The audience seemed to be with Becky, but the facts were for Margaret.

Drop Expected Wednesday, After Which New Citizens Will Be of a Better Caliber. At the close of the Federal business day to afternoon, the law regulating naturalization, under which persons have become citizens of the Unit- ed States than under any other law in the same time in any country, will cease to exist in force and beginning with business on Thursday morning, Uncle Sam's new statutes will become operative all over the The new regulations are intended to restrict citizen making to include as nearly as possible only those who are fitted to assume those responsibilities and to uniformly, throughout the country, prevent fraudulent, illegal and undesirable naturalization of those foreigners who have failed to measure up to the standards which the last Congress, after months of investigation, found advisable.

That the new law. is commonly considered more stringent and containing provisions which will make naturalization for some now possible, then impossible, is generally attested by the tremendous rush for papers that has prevailed during the last two months. Never in the history of the Federal courts in this district have such mobs gathered in the halls of the he Federal Building on Washington street and never have the state and county courts been so hard pressed by would-be citizens of this country. Beginning immediately after the passage of the law on June 29, 1906, scores of resident foreigners applied for their intention papers and for final certificates. Soon the applications reached over the 100 mark each day and for the last two weeks 400, 500, 600 and one day recently over 700 jammed the court room in the Federal Bullding.

It has been one big, mad rush to get in before the present easy law expires to-morrow night. After Wednesday there will be a drop and a big one. It is the opinion of some of the government clerks here that it will be years before the records made this month will be even equaled because the new statute will make it impossible for more than half. of those who now get through to pass the test. Under the provisions of the coming law naturalization jurisdiction will belong exclusively to the courts specified: United States circuit and district courts now existing or to be hereafter established in any state; United States district courts for the territories of Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Hawaii and Alaska; the Supreme Court of the District of Coluvia and the United States courts a for the Indian Territory; also all courts of record in any state or territory now existing or to hereafter created, having a seal, a clerk and jurisdiction in actions at law or equity in which the amount in controversy is unlimited.

The Secretary of Commerce and Labor will virtually be in charge of all the naturalizations which may be made throughout the United States, and the Bureau of Immigration will have its name changed to the Bureau of Immigration, and Naturalization. All immigration stations will, after to-morrow, be supplied with books of record, and every alien arriving in the country will be registered and given a certificate, which will prove the length of' his residence in this country. This is designed to prevent the naturalization of recent immigrants. One of the strict provisions of the law I prescribes that the jurisdiction of the a courts named will apply only to aliens resident in the district where the said courts shall have power. Naturalization certificates are to be made.

out only on safety paper blanks issued on application by the bureau at Washington. They will be numbered, and a record of the new citizens of the United States will be preserved. Applications for first papers must be made after 18 years of age and two years before final certificate will be issued. If the applicant waits longer than seven years after making his declaration, his intention paper will be void. It is provided, however, that all declarations made prior to the date when the law goes into effect shall be valid and will not have to be done over under the new conditions, which are more severe.

Two credible witnesses will have to swear that the applicant, to their knowledge, has resided in the United States for five years continually previous to the date of application and in the state or territory at least one year. One of the notable provisions of the new law makes it legal for a petitioner to change his name at the same time that he becomes a citizen, and courts in jurisdiction are authorized to issue the final certificate in the applicant's new name, to be chosen by him. All applicants will hereafter be required to speak the English language, excepting persons physically unable and persons who shall make homestead entries upon the public lands of the United States. The charges and fees in naturalization proceedings are somewhat higher than those now effective. For fling a declaration of intention, $1 will be charged the applicant; for filing the petition preliminary to the granting of the final certificate and for the hearing itself before the court, $2 will be required, while another $2 will be charged the applicant for entering the final order and issuing the certificate, if granted.

One-half these fees are to be retained by the clerk of the court. Besides these fees, the applicant must also deposit a sum sufficient to cover the expense of subpenaing witnesses for the final hearing. No clerk is to be allowed to keep more than $3,000 a year in fees unless he does a business amounting to more than. $6,000 per annum, when, in the Judgment of the bureau, he may be allowed salaries for clerk hire; otherwise he must pay for his own assistance out of his $3,000. Heavy punishment is provided for any attempt at fraudulent naturalization, and persons returning for permanent residence to a foreign country within five years after receiving a final certificate shall lose his rights as a citizen here.
