Bensel Away' When interviewed this morning in regard to the shutting down of the Fourth avenue pumping station In Brooklyn, Health Commissioner Thomas Darlington denied that there was any clash between him and Sanitary Superintendent Walter Bensel. He admitted that, the order to stop running the plant had been issued through his office, but said that such matters were nothing but routine business with the details of which he was not very famllinr. Ho said: "There can ba no clash between Dr.

Bensel and me. But there Is always a chance for a mistake to be made. These reports come to my desk in great masses, but they are only routine business with me. It is impossible for me to have a personal knowledge of all such affairs. Occasionally I spend a day inspecting the varipus wator supply stations In order to be somewhat familiar with them, -but I am never personally Informed about a matter of routine business.

I always make a point to be entirely familiar with a case when It is a matter of great public importance. I can only say that the order may have been a mistake which was subsequently rectified. There Is absolutely no disagreement between Dr. Bensel and me." When the commissioner was asked It Dr. RenBel had signed the order, he showed the reporter the bottom of the sheet on which was the name of Dr.

Bensel, typewritten not signed. He did not seem to express any surprise tit, the order was not actually signed; In hp acted as If It was an ordinary thing for important orders to be issued with only ypewritten signatures. The commissioner then referred the reporter to Dr. Bensel for any further information on the subject. But the sanitary superintendent could not be seen to-day as he was out of the city on department business.

In the meantime "Wizard" Titus continues to have water pumped from the Fourth avenue station at the rate of 5,000,000 gallops a day, and it looks as if Borough President Coler's attempt to have the supply cut off will be in vain. HAD BEEN MISSING THINGS. Creaver Now Accuses Man Across the Hall. Harry Creaver of 865' Halsey street complained to the police of the Ralph avenue station yesterday that ho had been missing things regularly from his apartments since February last, and he said he thought he knew who the thief was. Detectives Berrlnger and Dwyer went out with Creaver and last night they arrested a man on an elevated station and to-day In the Gates avenue police court charged him with burglary.

The prisoner said he was Albert! Wood, 40 years old, living In apartments across from the complainant's. Creaver said that on Saturday he found Wood in' his rooms at the Halsey street address. Wood stoutly denied this to Magistrate Furlong In court to-day. The caso was adjourned and Wood was held in $1,000 bail. DEATH OF JACOB ROBERTS.

Jacob Roberts, for over twenty years a prominent resident of tho Twenty-first Ward, died to-day at his home, 588 Wll-loughby avenue, after five months illness, of a complication of diseases. Mr. Roberts was born in the Thirteenth Ward of Manhattan about sixty-five years ago. and had for forty years been in the wholesale fruit business at 158 Front street. Manhattan.

American Sleuths Bringing Petrosino Report. Rome. July 20 J. R. Crowley, A.

B. Simon and A. F. Vachris, three American detectives, left here to-day on their way back to the United States, after making a thorough Investigation of the murder of Lieutenant Josepph Petrosino. the chitf of the Italian bureau of the New York detective force, who was assassinated at Palermo, Sicily, last March.

The American detectives were assisted by the Italian police and it is understood an important report on the case will be made when they reach New York. DOG BIT POLICEMAN. Bluecoat Sent Home and Dog Put in a Coll, Policeman Thomas E. Adams of the Adams street Btation reported sick to-day and the police surgeon told him to stay away from duty for a while until time and investigation can determine if a dog wh'ch bit him on the lower lip at 6:60 o'clock this morning was healthy or rabid. Adams was on post on Plerrepont street, when he saw a dog, owned by Mrs.

Leroy of 147 Plerrepont street, running about the sidewalk. Most of the men on post in the precinct regarded the animal as a harmless yellow mutt, but they also knew that It was much prized by the owner. Adams says thnt he stooped down to examine the colYir and the license tag. when the dog snapped at him and suddenly sprang up and bit him on the lip. The dog was captured and was locked up in one of the cells of the station housev Dr.lyon's PERFECT Tooth Powder Cleanses, beautifies and preserves the teeth and purifies the breath Used by people of refinement for almost Half a Century ADAMS.

HOTLY GRILLEO, Continued From Page 1. er was willing to talk with the other officers In twos and threes or bunches, but she wanted to see me alone." Mr. Davis read from the assumed Interview with Mrs. Parker and asked the witness If be remembered of making the statement. Adams said be could not remember making any such statement to Mrs.

Parker. The statements Davis credited him with gave a somewhat different version of the tragedy than that which Adams has given on the witness stand. Adams Is Iinally Excused and Lieutenant Osterrnan Called. At this point there was a brief conference of all the lawyers, who withdrew to another part of the auditorium at the conclusion of whioh Mr. Davis announced he was through cross-examining Adams for tho present.

Major Leonard asked the witness a number of questions In regard to the Interview with Mrs. Parker and other matters. The witness caused a burst of merriment on the part of Mrs. Parker, her mother and counsel, when he declared thnt Colonel Doyen, senior officer, had told him Mrs. Parker was "a very shrewd looking woman." Lieutenant Adams was excused, (and Lieutenant Edwtard A.

Osterman called as tho next witness. Ostennan's Story Substantiates That of Adams. "Where were you and what were you doing from 8 P.M. to 2 A.M. on October 12-13, 1007?" was the first question Major Leonard asked the witness- Osterman wore his white service uniform and appeared to be a husky young officer from his size and bearing.

He Is a heavier build than Adams. Starting with the hop at the academy and the meeting with Sutton later, about midnight, at Carvel Hall Hotel, tho witness told substantially the same story of the incidents of that night as told by Lieutenant Adams. 1 "We were in a room at Carvel Hair about 12 o'clock, when Lieutenant Sutton appeared at the door with a bottle pfj wnisKy in nis nana ana asKea us to novo a drink." began the witness. "We told him wo were not drinking whisky and he went away. About 20 minutes later he came back and said he had an automobile outside and asked If we did not want to ride to camp.

I don't think anyone made an answer, but we all went out, and Lieutenant Utley. Sutton and myself got into an automobile and started for the camp." From that point on Lieutenant Oster man told of the fist fights with Sutton by Adams and himself, near the Marine camp, and later running down to where the shots were tired, he found Lieutenant Adams and' Bevan standing near where Sutton and Lieutenant Roelker lay on the ground. "Someone said Sutton killed Roelker and then killed himself," the witness aid. Sutton Was Unpopular, Declares Os terman. In answer to further questions by Ma jor Leonard, Osterman said reason he and his friends refused to take ft.

drink with Sutton at. Carvel Iall was because Sutton was not wanted In the par ty. "He was unpopular with his class mates," the witness said. "Then too, we had been drinking beer all day and did not want to drink whisky," tho witness added. Osterman told of an incident about a month prior to Sutton's death when Sutton "shot up" the ramp.

"I was awakened by the bullets whl-zlng through our tent," said the witness, "and stepping out into the camp street saw Sutton standing in tho door of his tent firing his revolver. Major Fuller came along and asked Sutton to give him nis revolvers ana no nnany nanaea laem to Major Fuller." Asked about the threat which the wit ness said Sutton made that he would kill them all before sunrise, lieutenant Oa- terman said he believed at the time Sut ton was likely to carry out the threat and had suggested gotng to the guardhouse to get arms after they left Sutton. Because I thought it was well to be pre pared," he said. 'How long did It take you to get from whore you heard the Bhots to the point where the altercation occurred?" Inquired Major Leonard. 'About a minute," tne witness re turned.

"Did you run? "Yes, sir." "Whom did you see there?" "Lieutenants Adams, Bevan, Utley, Roelker and Sutton." "What did Adams do or say?" "He showed me his finger and sail Sutton had shot him. It was bleeding profusely." The witness said Roelker was lying In the road and just picking himself up as he got there. It was pretty dark where the shooting occurred," the witness proceeded, "but sou might be able to see a revolver fif teen yards away." At this point the noon recess was taken. FOUND HUSBAND ALMOST DEAD Bartello Tarazona, 31 years old. who.

lives with his wife and three children at 13 Columbia street, was taken to the Long Island College Hospital last evening by Dr. Dukeshire, suffering from gas poisoning, Bartello was found by his wife after she had returned from a friend's house.

In Every Crumb of rape-Nuts There's health and strength for Body and BrJtin. "There's a Reason" Head. "T-e Rc3d Wv" In pks TO He Is Said to Have Made Up His Mind to Give a Brief Hear-ing To-morrow.

MASS MEETING THIS EVENING. Fro and Con Speeches to Be Made at Cooper Union Brooklyn's Interest Is Explained. It is the "unofflcial" opinion around the City Hall that Acting Mayor Mc-Gowan will sign the hew Building Code and that he has already made up hi mind to do it. Such strong pressure has been brought to bear by the Murphy and Sullivan followers it is said, that Mr. McGowan has concluded that the "benefits" of the code outweigh Its.

disadvantages. There Is no doubt Id the minds of the politicians that Mr. McGowan will Insure his political future, so far as Tammany Is concerned, if be will only sign the Code, -which would then go Into effect at once. The Acting Mayor announced this morning that he would Hie his approval or veto of the new Building Code either on Thursday or Friday of this week. He might dodge the whole question of signing It under the provisions of the charter, but be will take prompt action this week.

He will have his full timo tomorrow engaged with the consideration of the matter. In the morning he will hold a public' hearing In the City Hall, opening at 10 o'clock and continuing till 12:30. During the afternoon be will hold a conference with three experts, he says, who will assist in clearing up any doubts he may have after the hearing. To-night a mass meeting will be held In Cooper Union under the auspices of tho Allied Renl Estate Interests, of which Allan Robinson is president, to oppose the code. It is expected that speakers favoring the code and thoso opposed will address the meeting, which may be sensational.

Posters advertising the meeting were prepared by the Allied Real Estate Interests and turned over to a bill posting concern. These posters represented Charles F. Murphy In tha guise of a tiger cat eating a canary and announced the date of the meeting. After posting one or two of these bills, tho advertising concern suddenly stopped putting them on the boardings and even pasted sheets of white paper oyer thoso they had already put up. This Is alleged to bo due to Tammany Intervention, and there Is some talk of suing the bill posting company for failure to carry out Its contract.

Discovery by Committee of 100. The Committee of One Hundred has entered the lists against the code, and Its experts say that they have discovered a "joker," which will give three men holding office at the Mayor's pleasure a complete and absolute control over the building business which might result In oppression not to be tolerated. This provision of the code creates a board of registration, which is to have complete power to say who shall practice In the city as engineers' architects, builders and master crecter of steel and iron work. The board's function Is to license these architects artd builders either with or without having examined the applicant for a license. far as Brooklyn is concerned, the regulations will hit this borough harder than any other, in the opinion of many builders and real estate experts.

The provisions making the construction of one and two family houses cost from $700 to J1.000 more will, they say, retard the growth of Brooklyn for many years, and a big delegation of Brooklynites is ex pected at the mass meeting to-night ana at the public hearing to-morrow. The restrictions, placed all about concrete construction of fireproof buildings will also hit this borough a hard blow, for while reinforced concrete office buildings are not planned on such a scale for Brooklyn as for Manhattan, reinforced concrete factory buildings are, and many already have been, erected. In the opinion of some of the greatest factory owners and builders in Brooklyn, this code will, If adopted, result in sending factories to New Jersey and Pennsylvania out of Brooklyn. Irving T. Bush, the president of the Bush Terminal Company, which has the largest concrete buildings erected and in process of building in the city, said today that he thought that tho extra restrictions placed on concrete construction by the new code are entirely unnecessary and merely add extra cost to building operations.

"Speaking broadly. I can see how this new code would hurt Brooklyn's Interests. A difference of 15 per cent, in the cost of factory construction might easily determine the location of new factories. Take a man who plans to erect a new factory here. He finds that his building will cost him 15 per cent, more because of the restrictions put upon concrete construction in Brooklyn.

He finds that he will not have these restrictions in New Jersey, and the result is that he builds over there, and another factory Is lost to Brooklyn. For factory buildings must be constructed with the greatest regard economy. A man may say that these are small matters, but when It comes to several factories, each employing hundreds of men, so moving out of the city, the outlook for Brooklyn is serious. OWES EUROPEAN FIRMS. Importer Fails, Giving Liabilities of $4,031.

Myles R. an importer with an office at 81 Broad street, Manhattan, filed a petition in bankruptcy in the United States Court to-day, giving his liabilities as $4,931.07 and his assets as $632. He owes money to firms In Europe from whom he purchased goods. His home address is not given in the petition or in any of the directories. He lives somewhere on Long Island.

Samuel Lowenstetn, who Is In the fish business at 2220 Surf avenue, Coney Island, also filed a petition, giving bis debts as $1,733, for goods purchased, and his assets as $200. SAYS PLANTS WERE WITHERED. Policeman McKeagney So Testifies on His Trial by Commissioner. The police trial of Patrolman James McKeagney of the Arsenal station, Manhattan charged with "failing to prevent a citizen from carrying away park property, on June 19, and failing to make an arrest," took place before Third Deputy Police Commissioner Stover at Police Headquarters this morning. Decision was reserved, after McKeagney had gone on the stand and testified that the plants which he allowed a man named James Boyle to take from Central Park at 1 o'clock in the morning were withered and worthless, SWEENEY DEAD FROM INJURIES John Sweeney, 18 years old, of 523 Albany avenue, who was Btruck by a Reld avenue car yesterday, died thiB morning In the Kings County Hospital as the result of his injuries.

Sweeney stepped from behind the car from which he had alighted at the corner of Utica avenue and Rutland road, when a car bound for Coney Island struck him and threw him under the forward trucks. His left leg was badly crushed, and It was amputated, later at the hospital. Sweeney did not rai from the shock, and his cise was con sidered hopeless from the first. Differences Halt Adjustment of Tariff Schedules. THE COMMITTEE ADJOURNS.

Wide Difference of Opinion Balked To-day's Deliberations Little Progress Made. Washington, July 20 The difficulty experienced by the leaders of the House and the Senate in getting sufficient votes to carry through a modified form of the President's free raw material programme was augmented to-day through the development of Important schedules that have not been disposed of by the conferees. The conference has given Its attention almost entirely to the dutiable list, leaving it to the leaders of both Houses and the President to determine the course of action with regard to the free raw material controversy. The conference committee adjourned until to-morrow in order that the conferees might have more time to lopk Into theh questions Involved in the consideration of the schedules that are yet unsettled. Wide differences of opinion were encountered In to-day's deliberations, and little progress was made, although several minor paragraphs were disposed of.

The fact that Chairman Payne was not at the While House conference, which was participated in by Senator Aldrich and Speaker Cannon, this afternoon was a subject of comment, but it was declared that this omission signified that Mr. Payne was working In thorough accord with the President and did not need to be called in. The "progressive" Republicans of the Senate, who have fought for downward revision throughout the tariff delibera-tions, were scheduled to meet In conference to-day to discuss a plan of action with reference to the conference report when it is submitted to the Senate. It was expected that they would issue a statement at the conclusion of the meeting, at which It had been planned to discuss the President's statement of the tariff situation. That portion of the President's declaration, which referred to downward revision of the tariff as he Interpreted the Republican platform to pledge, was to ba the subject of special consideration at the meeting, which was to be attended by Senators Dolllver, Cummins, Bristow, La Follette, Clapp and a number of others.

When the conference committee on the tariff bill mot to-day the duty on thorite and inonazlto sand received first attention. These articles are constituents of gas mantles, and notwithstanding they are strangers to the lexicography of a large majority of people, the difference between the two houses as to the rate of duty has been very sharp. The House imposed a tariff of 4 cents per pound, and the Senate Increased this rate to 6 cents, and in addition inserted a provision for a duty of 60 per cent, ad valorem on thorium and gas mantles treated with chemicals. Heretofore the conferees have been putting aside the hard problems after discussing them, but to-day they started with the intention of settling their disputes before leaving them, In so far as they possibly could do so. It was therefore realized that they were taking up tho real problems of the conference, and It was understood that many of them would bo difficult of adjustment.

Indeed some of the conferees were In a far from hopeful mood when they entered the conference room, not because of tho fact that the President has entered the arena of settlement, but because of Ihe differences between the two Houses of Congress. For a time after the President activities began, he occupied the center of the stage and attention was naturally concentrated upon him. Now that his attitude has been defined and the objects of his attention are understood the conferees again have begun to give consideration to the problems as they present themselves and which the conferees of the two Houses must work out among themselves regardless of the White House.

LAWRENCE TESTIFIES AS TO MIXED RECORDS Employees of Office, Who Have Been on the Stand, Try Self-Contradiction. COLER PROBING INTERESTING, Methods of Public Buildings Depart-Hents as Iluminated by the Chief of Bureau. An attempt by Public Building Super-' Inteudent Joseph M.

Lawrence to explain what appeared to be a duplication of orders, or double payment for the eame work, led to a still worse tangle over the records that excited the suspicions of John Purroy Mltchel, commissioner of accounts. To help along Superintendent Lawrence's explanation two of his employes went on the stand and changed testimony they hud already given. One of these employes was John F. Harmon, an spector. In Lawrence's office.

George N. Buchanan, Janitor of the Hall of Records, Involved himself in contradiction in hl3 efforts to help Mr. Lawrence In his explanation. Superintendent Lawrence had his two employes appear before the commisioncr of accounts, and the superintendent himself took the stand again to malte explanation. The point he wanted to explain was quite simple when viewed in the light of his own records, but was deeply involved by his theory of explanation.

His explanation involved three orders issued for work done in the Hall of Records in the first half of 1907. Only two orders figured in the case as developed by Commissioner Mltchel. Commissioner Mltchel put documents on file last week showing that on June 8, 1907, E. Fitzpatrick, who was afso-clated with John Lawrence, the superintendent's brother, filed a bill for $196.90 for a job of work repairing filing cases in the County Clerk's office. That bill was Hied for a completed job.

Just nine days later Fitzpatrick filed another bill for $203.33 for work done In the County Clerk's office on filing cases. This second hill claimed S5 a day each for two men for eighteen days. Superintendent Lawrence admitted that It would have been a physical Impossibility for two men to do eighteen days work apiece in only nine calendar days. However, he said he thought he could explain It If given the papers. Commissioner Mitchel let him have the papers, and to-day Superintendent Lawrence appeared with his explanation.

Superintendent Lawrence decalred that there were really two Jobs, but that only one of them was done in the County Clerk's office. He said: "Order 710 called for work In the record room of the Register's office. The inspector's estimate of approximate cost was $200. The work vaB done and the cost was $196.90, just a little under the $200 approximate. "In some way the bill for the work done under Order No.

710 became attached to Order No. 851, which order called for work in the commissioner of records' office, with an estimated coat of $20. The bill for the $20 Job has -been misplaced If it was ever filed, fitzpatrick swears he filed it, but we haven't been able to find it. Mr. Stewart, examiner for the commissioner of accounts, had Mr.

Harmon write the words, "for the county clerk's office" on the requisition accompanying the order and bill for the $196.90. That made It appear that the work had been done In the county clerk's office and that the job was a completed job of repair on the filing cases. "The work that was actually done In the county clerk's office was done under Order No. 917, which called for work on the filing cases in the county clerk's office. Thnt work was done and paid for, the bill being $202.30.

Because it was filed nine days after the bill for $196.90. it made It look as If there had been two jobs of work done In the county clerk's office, but that wasn't true." Superintendent Lawrence couldn't explain why the bill for a job of work under Order No. 710 should hrtve been billed with Order No. 851. Nobody seemed ablo to explain that, though several trials were made.

Inspector Harmon had the hardest time making his new testimony fit Superln- tendent Lawrence's explanation. Harmon had sworn that the work in question had been done on the metal coses In the county clerk's office. To-day ha swore that this work was done in the register's office. That was to make it appear that Instead of double pnyment for one Job in the county clerk's office, there were two Jobs one In tbi county clerk's office and the other In the register's office. Harmon was asked why he had written the words "In county clerk's office" on the requisition if the work was not done there.

Harmon said he had written those words at the suggestion of E. W. Stewart, an examiner with the commissioner of accounts. "Did you believe it then?" Mr. Mitchel ssked.

"Yes." "Did you tell Mr. Stewart that the work had been done in the county clerk's office?" "Yes." "You testified the other day that vou remembered distinctly that the work was done in the county clerk's office?" "Yes. I did." "You testified at some length that the reason the cost so far exceeded your estimate was because it was found necessary to do a great deal more work?" "Yes." "Now. was that work done In the county clerk's office?" "No." "When did you find that out?" "Between Saturday and now." "How did you find it out?" "Well. Mr.

Lawrence, Mr. White we all worked to rectify my error." Commissioner Mitchel confronted Har- INDEX OF REGULAR FEATURES. r)mlnatlin. Fa- Athletics M-5 Automobiles F.aseball 4-."

a Is Tickets offered by the Brooklyn Eagle cast befors August 2. raon with a transcript of his testimony of last week. To-day's testimony, was in direct conflict with the transcript. Harmon swore that to-day' testimony was true. Harmon was ordered by Commissioner Mltchel to produce his record of the work, which Superintendent Lawrence was to sure had been done under No- 710 in the register's office.

When Harmon returned with the book, he was shown his entry of the work, which showed that it had been done under Order No. 851. "Wen did you make that entry?" he mas asked. "When I received the bill with the order." "You made that entry In good faith?" "Yes." "But now you say that the bill and the order don't belong together." "Yes." "Now, you claim at the time you entered that as No. 851, It was a mistake?" "Yes." Janitor Buchanan, of the Hall of Records, became wrought up In testifying thnt the work was done upstairs in the Hall of Records and not in the county clerk's office.

He declaired that E. W. Stewart, chief examiner of accounts, had not told the truth when Mr. Stewart said that Buchanan had told him the work in question was done in the county clerk's office. "Didn't you take Mr.

Stewart into the county clerk's office and show him where the work had been done?" "I did noe." After denying that he had gone into the county clerk's office with Mr. Stewart, Buchanan admitted that he haf gone In there to show him other work, but not the work done under thnt requisition. "I went in and showed him where different work had been done, but not under that requisition," Buchanan said. "What room did you go In with Mr. Stewart?" "The county clerk's office." In a few minutes Buchanan was busy denying that he had gone into the clerk's office with Mr.

Stewart, and he even denied that he had admitted going in. Commissioner Mltchel had to have the record read to him to prove that only a few minutes before he had told of showing Mr. Stewart work done in the county clerk's office. Then Commissioner Mitchel read to Buchanan his testimony of last week, in which Buchanan swore he did not know whether the work in question was done the county clerk's office or in the office the commissioner of records. "Why did you swear that last week you know the work was done in the office of tho commissioner of records?" Mr.

Mltchel asked. "I've refreshed my memory. I know was on the top floor." Chief Examiner Stewart took the stand and swore with great posltlveness that Janitor Buchanan had taken him into tho county clerk's office to point out the work done, and had told him the work was on the chief clerk's filing case. The investigation of Superintendent Lawrence's bureau was Interrupted this afternoon to hear some further testimony the Medina sandstone phase of Coler's administration. TENNIS AT L0NGW00D.
