The crowds cheered Grosso as continued to gain headway, but soon he dismay as Grosso's Stearns gave shouts of observed leaving the track.

This was Robertson the chance to make up gave the loss sustained by the without effort Stearns sprints, but he recovered only when the Stearns came out two miles like a shot and gave Robertson another rub. DePalma's Flat, however, was put drive, and he took the under a severe holding It against all. The lead, easily Acme rejoined the race in the twentyWhen Grosso found that seventh mile. De Palma was ready for fight, he began sensational sprints, and more than regained the lost ground. He kept this up until the fortieth mile, when the Simplex left the track for a tire change.

The followed the Simplex Into the Haynes car camp. The Acme car resumed Its race serious loss of time, and the first without hour found DeFalma leading Grosso with the following scores: FIRST HOUR. Miles. Rainier 46 Stearns 481 Acme 41 Palmer- 45 Lozier Haynes 41 Simplex De Palma Led in Second Hour. During almost the entire second hour De Palma led the racers a merry chase.

had taken a lead of four miles, but He forced off the course by tire trouble was his 88th mile, and it while covering looked like a Simplex sprint from then but Grosso had to leave the track on, and the Simplex took it easy. While the latter was making two rounds the Fiat fixed up and entered the track, regot suming its fast work. De Palma was in the pink of condition physically and ready to hold them all off on endurance, as events showed later on in the race. At the end of the second hour he had made 104 miles, two more than the Simplex. The Stearns covered 101.

This gave three cars a credit of more than 100 miles in the first two hours, and the Fiat score of 104 was only three miles behind the world's record. In the early part of the third hour the Simplex was signaled by the judges to stop and relight the headlights, losing about a mile through the failure to stay lighted. A broken glass gave him trouble several times until it was replaced. In the 140th mile the Fiat left the track and the contenders seized the opportunity to recover last ground, but the chance did not last long, however. A tire change was quickly made and the car was off again with a loss of only a trifle more than a mile.

It was toward the end of the third hour that the Stearns began its chapter of misfortune. While Grosso was gamely forcing the bunched cars into a sprint and taking the home turn without reducing speed, the soft spot on the turn gave the Stearns a sudden twist and it went through the outer fence with damaging results to the car, but no serious Injury to the crew. While Grosso superintended the repairs, the battle shifted to De Palma and Robertson, with Louis A. Disbrow's Rainier in third place. Round after round these three fought for the pole, with slight temporary changes in position, for when the hour was up the Fiat still held the lead and Robertson's Bimplex was right on its Disbrow did not let them get away from him, for his car had the speed, but he was driving 8 cautious race and apparently felt that his position was The Lozier, the second choice of the all-night fans, was some distance behind, due to frequent stops to adjust and relight its lamps.

The Haynes broke a sprindle on its 122d mile, and was forced to wait for a new one from Manhattan, the part being one the least likely to give way. Further light trouble was suffered by the Lozier in the fifth hour, and valuable time was being lost. For one mile the crew ignored the signal to stop, and the Judge penalized the car one mile, setting its score back. The score for the first five hours was as follows: Car. 1st.

2d. Sd. 4th. 5th. 8.

Fiat .53 104 164 204 254 6. Stearng .51 101 141 141 141 Lozter 95 138 176 219 Simplex 47 102 153 197 246 7. Rainier 46 95 143 193 238 6. Palmer-Singer 90 136 178 224 Acme 87 123 129 168 9. Haynes 41 86 122 122 122 Stearns Back at 2:20 A.M.

At 2:20, after an absence of more than two hours. Guy Vaughan managed to get the Stearns back in shape and it resumed the race, but did not seem to be working well. Two new wheels, made necessary by the third-hour accident, were put on it. Up to this time there had been no change in the positions of the three leaders. Everyone expected to see the Ramier enter Its camp, for the car had not left the track in five full hours, but it was running in fine shape and when Disbrow did drive into the tent village, it was only for the replacement of three badly worn tires.

and he was off again like a shot. He did not suffer any great loss. In the sixth hour the Fiat lost its lead in a sprint, and in the eighth it was put back by an unusual circumstance, a nut dropping into the gear case and entailing lengthy job. Robertson, therefore, was back in first place and the Fiat mileage at the end of the hour was enough to retain second place against the Rainier. At the end.

seventh hour, the two cars were tied for first place and both were fighting for the lead when the Fiat's trouble was encountered. Disbrow's Rainier, therefore, got second place, which was held without difficulty. The Flat Was in shape again at the close of the hour, but was 49 miles behind. De Palma tried vainly to recover ground, but the veteran Simplex and the Rainier prevented him from doing much lapping. The Lozier was having a race of its own.

Mulford and Cobe, when not monkeying with their lights, were maintaining a steady pace at an average of fifth position and gradually improved their score when daylight came. The first glimpse of dawn revealed about one thousand all-nighters in the stand and a line of deadheads all around the back stretch. They shouted and hooted. Horns, rattles and roosters gave their enthusiasm a weird expression, but they the experience. Every sprint brought enjoyed thin to their feet, and after sunrise every train added to their number.

Lighting Troubles All Over. At 6 o'clock lighting troubles were over and every move wag distinctly visib'e. Greater opportunities to sprint evidently caused the drivers to take greater chances with their lives. The poores showed that several ho had regained lost ground. Robertson was holding the Rainier at bay and Fiat was trying to get back those lost miles.

Question of Intent, However, Is Vital to a Charge of Forgery in the Third Degree. developments in the Coler investigation indicate that an attempt will be made to make W.

W. Richards, chief clerk of the bureau of buildings, the scapegoat of the Coler administration. Richards has been saddled with most of the blame for really serious violations 80 far disclosed in the Bureau of Public Buildings and Offices, of which he was chief clerk before he was transferred to the buildings bureau. Chief Clerk Richards served as scapegoat when he was transferred from the Bureau of Public Buildings to the Bureau of Buildings. Complaints against SuperIntendent Lawrence's bureau had been made, and Smith had created lively disturbance because of the rejection of his bid for disinfectants on the ground that it had been received too late, when, as a matter of fact, Smith WAS able to prove by the Post Office authorities that his bid had been delivered 111 the early morning mail on the day that the bids were to be opened.

Superintendent Lawrence was considerably exercised over the Smith Incident, because Smith's row developed the fact that the rejection of Smith's bid was to the profit of the Perfection Chemical Company, In which Superintendent Lawrence's cousin Fred had been a halt owner. Superintendent Lawrence has denied on the stand that the transfer of Chief Clerk Richards was due to the Smith Incident, but the fact remains that Richards was transferred directly after Smith carried his complaint to the borough president. Coler himself ordered the transfer of Richards. He couldn't dismiss Richards without formal charges and satisfactory proof, because Richards was protected by civil service. However, he showed his feeling by having Richards transferred.

Superintendent Lawrence, the official head of theoffice, and the man responsible, was not punished in any way for the conditions that led to the transfer of Richards. For the last few days there have been clear indications that Richards had been picked to serve as scapegoat. Borough President Coler is not very fond of Richards, maybe because Richards has not been as pleasing as he might have been to Coler's "alter ego," John Anderson, assistant superintendent of the Bureau of Buildings. Superintendent Lawrence swore yesterday that the charging of 1907 requisitions against the unexpended balance of 1906, in violation of the law, was due to his reliance upon Richards, who, he said, advised him that it was a custom in all city departments to hold up requisitions at the end of the year and then charge them against the unexpended balance. Mr.

Richards swore that he did not tell Mr. Lawrence that such was the custom in all city departments. He said he did advise Mr. Lawrence that toward the end of the year he could hold up requisitiong until sure that the appropriation for the year would not be exceeded, and then charge these requisitions against the unexpended balance. He said be never advised that requisitions of 1907 could be charged against the appropriation for the previous year.

That a large number of 1907 requisitions were charged against the 1906 appropriations was shown conclusively by the commissioner of accounts yesterday afternoon. That an attempt was made to cover up these charter violations by changing the public records was indicated very clearly. The records were changed in many instances, dates were changed from 1907 to 1906, and new requisitions and orders bearing a 1906 date were made out to replace the originals, which, according to Coler's own books, bore dates in 1907. The originals are missing. Apparently.

they have been destroyed. Whether or not they are destroyed, the proof is complete that the records were changed. The creation of new records to take the place of the originals has been shown by the testimony of Coler's own employes, and by the records themselves. The changes made in the records constitute the crime of forgery in the third degree, when done unlawfully and corruptly. In charges of this nature, the intent of the person doing the act is considered the essential element of the act.

The courts always take into consideration the question of intent, and try to determine whether the person charged with the act was actuated by good motives or was trying to hide or aid in the commission of a crime. TOO LENIENT WITH WATSON. Plumber Attacked Wife When Policeman Interfered and Had Uniform Slashed. Walter Watson, 35 years old, of 1 Nostrand avenue, a plumber, who bas been out of a job for some time, and whose wife and five children are in a wretched condition, was sent to jail for ten days this morning, by Magistrate Higginbotham, on a charge of disorderly conduct. It was consideration for Mrs.

Watson and her children that caused Policeman Broden of the Clymer street station, who made the arrest, to make a graver charge against According to the officer, he was passing the Watson home last night, when he heard screams. entered the house and found Watson wrecking the miserable home, while his wife stood terrified, with a cut on her face. The five children huddled in a frightened group in tha corner. When Watson saw the offcer he rushed into another room, procured al razor, and attacked the policeman with it. Thomas Rhatigan, a probationary policeman, arrived just in time, and he and Broden overpowered Watson, and took him to the station.

Their uniforms were badly slashed in the struggle. FOUR QUEENS HEAT VICTIMS. Four heat prostrations were reported in Queens Borough yesterday.

HORSE DEALERS CONSOLIDATE A. M. Stein Co. and Cyrus Rheims Co. Will Seek to Give Even Better Service Than Ever.

Of great interest to lovers of horses and those connected with the trade is the announcement made to-day that A. M. Stein Co. and Cyrus Rheims two of the largest horse dealing firms in the city, have amalgamated and will continue business under the corporate name of the A. M.

Stein-Rheims Horse Company, with Its main offices at 229-231 Washington street. S. W. Stein, brother of the late A. M.

Stein, is president and treasurer of the new company, while Cyrus Rheims will be the vice president and Meyer W. Stein the secretary. The former establishment of the Rheims firm, at 79-83 Liberty street, will be used mainly as a boarding and hiring stable. The Stein concern is undoubtedly the oldest in Greater New York, and has enjoyed forty years of prosperity at the Washington street address. Mr.

Rheims, years ago, was affiliated with the Steins, but later branched out for himself. The present consolidation will increase the facilities of the two firms, so that they will be in a position to serve their patrons 0 the same business principles that have ways won for them such a large proportion of the city's trade, Mr. Stein, known as one of the leading horse dealers in the city, when. seen by an Eagle reporter to-day, declared that the consolidation of the two Arms did not mean the combination of the horse trade, as reported, but merely the union of two individual establishments. The new company, he added, would attempt to gain the confidence and patronage of the public, as has always been the policy of the two firms.

WOMAN I AGED 70 AS DRIVER. She Let Reins Fall Loose and Runaway Threw Whole Party Out. Badly Hurt Herself, The condition of Mrs. Ann Ford of 39 Rush street, who was thrown from her carriage while driving along Bedford avenue, yesterday afternoon, was so much improved this morning that she was removed from the Swedish Hospital to her home, where she is being treated by Dr. Kennedy of Manhattan, who is confident that she will recover.

She is suffering from concussion of the brain, lacerated wounds of the scalp 81 bruises. The accident was not caused by the horse becoming frightened at a passing automobile, as was at first reported, but by Mrs. Ford's overconfidence in the gentleness of the animal, which she had driven for several years. She allowed the reins to hang loosely, and the animal got them caught under his tail. Mrs.

Ford's efforts to disentangle them caused the horse to run away. The animal dashed along Bedford avenue and collided with a telegraph pole near St. John's piace. Mrs. Ford, who is 70 years old; her grandson, Edward pierce, 22 years old, and her granddaughter, Alma Redmond, were thrown to the street.

All were taken to the Swedish Hospital, whence the children were sent home after receiving treatment for slight hurts. BIG MEET FOR GLIDDENITES.

COLORED ARISTOCRACY OF FLATBUSH EXCITED Counselor Perry Tells of Sleightof-Hand Performance During Prayer, SAYS $80 WAS RAKED OFF. Woman Member of Shiloh Baptist Church Has Parson Lee Summoned to Flatbush Court. The colored aristocracy of Flatbush were on hand in the Flatbush court this morning in full force.

Men dressed in the height of fashion and women whose starched clothes rustled like autumn leaves In A storm, greeted each other cordially discussed the merits of A highly important case that vitally concerns the welfare of the congregation of Shiloh Baptist Church, which Is located in a store at 18 Erasmus street. The Rev. Sedley E. Lee, pastor of the church, had been summoned to court 00 the complaint of Mrs. Fanny Steubb, who gave her address A8 570 Ocean avenue, who is the secretary of the church organization.

Mrs. Steubb was curlous to find out why a warrant should not be issued for the Rev. Mr. Lee, who, she said, had unlawfully and with malice aforethought, withdrawn from the Flatbush Trust Company the sum of $52.70, appropriating the same to his own use, It was shown during the proceedings that the church had a balance with the trust company of $52.71, so that the withdrawal of $52.70 left a mighty small sum In the bank wherewith to pay running expenses. Rufus Perry, the colored Demosthenes, who appeared for the complainant, who was backed up by two-thirds of the church members, made an eloquent opening speech, In which he related a most interesting incident.

Mr. Perry said that at a special meeting of the congregation, held at his house some time ago, there was great rejoicing when it was reported that the good white folks of Flatbush had chipped In the sum of $180 to help the church along. The money was right there on a table, and when the report had been placed on file Pastor Lee asked all present to bow their heads low in prayer. He made a long, eloquent prayer of thanksgiving. said Mr.

Perry, and when the devout members of the flock raised their heads and wiped the tears of thankfulness from their eyes, the sum of $80 was missing from the pile of money on the table. Mr. Perry made no insinuations, but used the incident to emphasize his attack on the pastor. who, he said, had no right to draw the money from the trust company without the consent of others. When Perry had finished his speech he was completely surrounded by the female members of the congregation.

who made such a fuss congratulating him that the business of the court was suspended for several minutes. Hector McGowan Curran (white) appeared as counsel for the accused pastor, and made a feeble attempt to overshadow the impression created by his learned opponent. He said, with many verbal flourishes, and with the use of many legal expressions and high sounding phrases, that his client did not deny drawing the money from the trust company, but that it was done as part of his duty, the money being used to pay the rent of the church. A heated discussion followed, during which Magistrate Nash left the bench for a few minutes to recover his dignity. While he was out Mr.

Curran insinuated that Mr. Perry was unduly excited. Mr. Perry climbed on the witness stand and replied as follows: "Mr. Curran, your exclamations and observations, as well as your objurgations and -nimadversions, have no effect whateven in the line of causing me to become aroused to an unusual temperature; in fact they only act as do the cooling zephyrs from the sea when they fan my cranium on a.

pleasant day in June." The applause that followed was silenced by Magistrate Nash, who, after asking a. few questions dismissed the case, Lawyer Perry's temperature did rise at this point. and he declared emphatically that the matter would not be allowed to rest there, but that that elusive $52.70 would be hunted down, if it takes all summer and $52.70 more to get it back.

It looked as it there would be a brilliant daylight struggle, but It came to naught when the Stearns car met its second setback. After the accident, in which Marquis was silghtly hurt, Gross continued to race. He was taking the clubhouse turn at lively pace when his steering knuckle broke and he stopped near the rail. Fortunately the car escaped the fence and Gross was unhurt. He had completed 360 miles, bringing him from sixth to fifth place, when the break occurred.

The Palmer Singer kept at it evenly, with no diffculty in maintaining fourth place. The Lozier went up from sixth place to fifth and the Stearng went back in the Lozier's place.

At the close of the eleventh hour Robertson had covered 639 miles. This was 20 miles behind his record. He had driven continuously throughout this.

period and fat the end of the twelfth he was relieved by Al Poole, his team mate. Poole took the wheel with the intention of driving until well toward the finish, when Robertson 19 expected to hold for the final struggle. The Flat ran much better during the twelfth and cut down the distance between it and the Simplex and Rainier. The Acme was out during the entire hour. In the thirteenth hour the Flat fell from 52 to 56 miles behind the Simplex.

The Acme made no appearance, but reentered the race in the fourteenth hour. The hourly scores showed that the Haynes car had lost at every period and during the fourteenth hour, after covering 219 miles, the crankshaft was broken on the home turn. This, of course, put the Haynes out of the race for good. About this time the drivers began to suffer from the dust. One said the track was like the rocky road to Dublin, that it was hard and cakelike in some places and soggy in others.

The oil was entirely worn away and a dense cloud followed each car. It was particularly bad on the turns when two or more cars took the turns In a bunch. As soon as the midday sun had a chance to dry up the slight moisture of the night, the dust necessitated slower speed. It penetrated the air holes in the drivers' goggles and fully half of the contesting crews were obliged to visit the hospital tent and have their eyes washed by the doctors with a medicInal solution. The hour's run resulted in no Important changes, the scores from the eleventh to the fifteenth hour being as follows: SCORE TO FIFTEENTH HOUR.

The sixteenth hour score to-day follows: Simplex, 765: Rainier, 724: Fiat, 678: Palmer and Singer, 668: Lozter, 597; Stearns, 580; Acme, 322; Haynes, out.

Drivers Complain of Constant plugging by the seven contestants was all that characterized the progress of the race from the fifteenth to the sixteenth hours. Robertson's Simplex maintained a lead of thirty-nine miles during the fifteen and sixteenth, but the difficulties of driving were enhanced by the fearful dust. Robertson appealed to the judges to stop the race long enough to have the track scraped and watered, but no immediate action was taken. Ag A car enters a turn it is impossible to see It until it re-enters the stretch and all drivers complained. The entrants were consulted while the cars kept on going around.

It is almost certain that there will be an interval for raid repairs or a chapter of accidents. DAY OF REST FOR THAW. He Will Be Examined in Rebuttal by His Counsel Next Week. White Plains, N. July 31-Harry K.

Thaw to-day enjoyed a day of rest after his twelve hour grilling by District Attorney Jerome and prepared with his attorney for his appearance on the stand next week at Justice Mills hearing. There was no court session to-day, but Thaw's attorney, Charles Morschauser. remained in town and inade ready for the examination which he will suhject his client when the latter is called in rebuttal. The Matteawan prisoner and his family have managed to extract some comfort from that part of Justice Mill's amination yesterday, in which he told Thaw that he need not excuse himself for any measure he adopted to defend himself while on trial. This, they believe, will help them reconcile certain reversals of the opinions expressed by some of his witnesses during the trial, when his friends were striving to prove him a lunatic.

When the hearing reconvenes at 10 o'clock Monday morning District Attorney Jerome is expected to resume his presentation of evidence from the minutes of the homicide trials. Mr. Morschauser probably will not put his client 011 the stand until the district attorney ig through. The hearing may extend through next week. DEPORTATIONS DECREASING.

The number of deportations on the outgoing steamships of the International Mercantile Marine Company to-day shows a considerable decrease over those of last week. On the Minactonka, for London, there was but a stovayay, while th Zeeland of the Red Star Lino took back but eleven, as compared with twenty sent back last week. The warning notice sent out Lo the stenmship by Commissioner of Inmigration Williams is beg nning 10 bear fruit and the undesirable classes are not being booked by the steamship companie abroad. Among the pa sergers on the Zeeland were Mr. and Mrs.

Thomas H. Carroll Brooklyn, Evelyn Wilner got out of the Brooklyn Hospital this morning and into the custody of Detective Woodle of the Adams street station as a prisoner, charged with having attempted suicide. The woman 1s 19 years old, had been married three years, and has been living with her busband, William, at 82 South First street. She is quite pretty and she detests 1 her husband, which makes her home life very unhappy. She said in court to-day that her husband would drive her to suicide some day, and she knew it.

Better a coffin, said she, than life with William. The young woman came downtown to shop on Wednesday last and she took a small bottle of carbolic acid in her shopping bag. She had some things she had purchased in one of the big department stores to exchange, and she attended to that business first. Then she walked down to the County Courthouse, went into seclusion there for a second, and drank some carbolic acid from the bottle. She dropped on the sidewalk a few minutes later and a crowd surrounded her.

An ambulance was called and she was hurried to the hospital, where the doctors found that she was suffering from the poison and that she had also burned her left arm while drinking from the phial. She declined to talk at the hospital about her troubles or to say what caused her to attempt suicide. The doctors found that she was not 80 badly Injured, and three days fixed her up. This morning she was still weak, but well enough to leave the institution, and Detective Woodle took her to court. Woodle got her confidence, and she said to him that she was tired of life and was sorry that she had not succeeded in dying.

She laid all her troubles to her husband, who, she said, did not support her and wanted her to support herself. "There is nothing left for me but death," she said. "How happy I would be if I could only die!" Then she told the detective of her ried life. She said that she had been employed before her marriage as a fancy dancer in one of the theaters on the Last Side. She understood that Wilner ha1 also been in the theatrical business, but he had done no work to speak of since their marriage, she declared, and her poor earnings were all they had to live on.

At times she did not have enough to eat, she said. Once she had her band arrested and he was taken before Magistrate Finn, in Manhattan, on a charge of failing to support her, but his friends got her to withdraw the charge and he was released on a promise that he would behave, work and provide for her. Instead of that, she said, he had not only failed to do so, but had sented to her a mode of life that was revolting. She had tried suicide once tefore, she said. "There is nothing for me but death," she declared.

"Oh, how I would welcome it. The grave is rest. Nobody cares for me; nobody will give me even sympathy. My own mother and father are against me, and I did all I could for them by forsaking a Christian, who was very fond of me, and marrying iu my own religion. But mother will not speak to me now.

Her mind has been poisoned against me, after all I did to obey her, and I have A bad Dame without being bad at all." The detective swore that she had tried to commit suicide, but Magistrato Tighe, sitting in the Adams street court, was not willing to consider the affidavit. for Woodle had not seen her take the drug. So he asked Evelyn, when she was brought before him. if she had intended to kill herself. The girl simply nodded her head in the negative and that was taken by the magistrate as a plea of not guilty.

The magistrate had heard the girl's story about her husband. Mr. called husband to the bench. "Is this story that your wife tells about you true?" asked the magistrate. dark "No." said the husband, an undersized, -haired young man.

"Lies; all The magistrate thereupon discharged the woman, as there was no evidence, in strict point of law. that she had tried to kill herself. She left the court without deigning to look in her husband's direction. He tried to sidle up to her as she walked down Adams street, but she sheered off disdainfully. She had told a reporter that there was no hope for her in thig life and she had apparently a determination to kill herself just as soon as she could find another opportunity.

"There is no happiness left for she said. "No hope. I will me." not dishonor myself and the grave will give me rest." MARRIAGE LICENSES Janet Rogers, 49 years, 57 Clark st, and Nathan Agnew, 28 years, 151 State st. Carl Erikson. 28 years, 328 Bergen Lundberg, 24 sears.
