"INFLAMMATORY INSANITY" That May Be What Caused Koll to Try Suicide. Three Children Earn $16 a Week, on Which Whole Family Lives Sympathizer Sends $20. Sixteen dollars a week, earned by three children, has been the sole support of Henry a painter, of 95 Court street; his daughter; two sons and his mother-in-law for the past few months. The strain on Koll's nerves was too great; something snapped somewhere in his system and the night before last he tried to end his life by Inhaling gas, his second attempt within three weeks. He did not succeed, and Is slowly recovering to-day in the Brooklyn Hospital.

To-day a charitable person signing tho initials M. A. A. sent to The Eagle a twenty-dollar bill, asking that It be taken to Koll's family. The money was handed this morning to Koll's daughter, Anna, who contributes $6 of the children's weekly $16 which supports the family.

She earns the money by labeling goods In a faclory all day. Miss Koil would like to know who A. Is. "I know it is a woman," said she, "and it' I could learn who she is I would love her." The children of Koll know of no reason why their father should commit suicide, unless it was because he had been out of a job for a long time. The daughter said to-day that the physicians told hor that her father suffered from "Inflammatory insanity," a type of delirium lasting generally a few weeks at a time, she says they told her.

Koll endangered the lives of others when he tried suicide on Monday night. He waited until the rest of the family had gone to bed and then went upstairs to the top floor. The Kolls live on the third floor. Ho nlta'ched a tube to a gas jet in the hall, lay on the floor, inserted the olher end of the tube in his mouth and was ready die. Gas filled the hall and martn Its way Into apartments where otner tenants were sleeping.

Fortunately, the Job of a bartender named- Post, who lives In tho house, keeps him out late, and ho came home in time to discover Koll before the gas had done its work. He saved other tenants by, arousing them, andjhen telephoned to (he Brooklyn Hospital for an ambulance. About three weeks ago KoT! went Into the cellar at the Court street address and tried to end his life -In much the same manner. This was In the daytime, however, and tenants smelled the fumes and got to him even before he was unconscious, and no physician was called. YACHTSMEN DIDN'T APPEAR.

Lawyer for Members of Belle Harbor Club Had Case Adjourned for a Month. None of (he yachtsmen of the Belle Harbor Yacht Club appeared In the Gates avenue Civil Court to-day, before Judge Rosenthal, to answer the charges preferred against them by the officials of the club, that they were in arrears with their, dues. Eight of the summonses were return able to-day, but the defendants did not appear. P. C.

Hanson, a lawyer for a number of the yachtsmen, was in the court, however, and intimated to an Kagle reporter that the case would be fought to the end. He also made a motion to have the case go over until the complainants pi educed the bylaws, the secretary's minutes, the treasurer's reports, and, in fact, all books and documents belonging to the club that have anything to do with the case. Judge Rosenthal put the cases over for a month. Tho yachtsmen who wore to appear In the court this morning were: Major Frederick A. Wells of the Twenty-third Regiment, Harman O.

MAKES RAMBLING STATEMENT Told Detectives Mr. Corwith and Daughter Louise Conspired to Poison Him With Arsenic. Central Office detectives, this morning, prevented a tragedy in which the intended victim was Henry N.

Corwith, millionaire president of the American Knitting Mills Company and a director in other large manufacturing concerns, who resides at 203 Riverside Drive, Manhattan, when they arrested Alfred Price, 37 years old. who was waiting for Mr. Corwith at the corner of One Hundred and Second street and Riverside Drive.

Corwith about in an effort to locate Price. Detectives Followed Millionaire and Caught Price With Weapons. This morning the detectives stationed themselves In front of Mr. Corwith's residence, in Riverside Drive, and when he came out followed him. As Mr.

Corwith approached One Hundred and Second street he saw Price standing at the corner and pointed him out to the detectives. Detective File went up to Price and asked him if he knew Mr. Corwith. According to the detective Price answered; "Sure 1 do, and between you and me I am going to kili him. I have it In for him because he In a conspiracy to kill mo by putting arsenic in my food.

I was employed by. him nine years ago and went with him and his family to Saratoga. His daughter Louise put the arsenic in my food and there are marks all over my body now from the poison." "What are you going to kill him with?" asked File. "With this," replied Price, and then he pulled a Colt revolver, of blue steel and fully loaded, from his pocket and showed it to the detective. File jumped at the man and grasped the revolver, and got It away from him as Cain came up and held Price.

Then the dagger was taken from his pocket and he was made a prisoner. When Mr. Corwith approached the three, Price looked at him and said: "They have got me now, but when I get out I am going to give It to you, sure." Price was then taken Into the subway and brought to Tolice Headquarters. Corwith Says He Discharged Price, Years Ago, for Incompetency. Price said that he was at present employed as a chauffeur and automobile demonstrator for a Arm at the corner of Broome street and Cleveland place, just opposite police headquarters.

He said lie was Bingle and that he occupied a furnished room at 27 Verona place, Brook lyn. This address is at present a vacant house. Mr. Corwith told Inspector Russell that Price was employed by him several years ago as a coachman, and that discharged him after about three weeks, for incompetency. He said that since that time he has not seen Price until yesterday, when he met him at One Hundred and Third street and Broadway, as he came from the subway station on his way home and was threatened by him.

Mr. Corwith said that he believed there must be something wrong with the man. He said that he never was In Saratoga. He has a daughter Louise, who is now 17 years old, and at the time the man says she put arsenic in his food she must have been 8 years old. Mr.

Corwith, besides being president of the American Knitting Mills Company, is i a director of the Hampden Knitting Company, secretary and director of the Post Mortgage and Land Company, and a director of the Hoisery Company.

His Lawyer Declares He Was Approached in Connection With His Grand Jury Testimony. Following the Indictment yesterday of William J. Cummins, chairman of the executive committee of the Carnegie Trust Company and the leading figure in the institution, on three charges of grand larceny, it was confidently assorted today on the best authority that the Grand Jury would return several additional indictments next Friday, If not before that date, the expectation being that another high official of tho trust company will be included lu the list. Coincident with this expectation of additional indictments in the mar future came a startling story of an attempt to bribe Joseph G. Robin, the skyrocket financier, to withhold Informal inn from the Grand Jury.

This tale was told to the newspaper men to-day by Samuel J. Goldsmith of -100 Broadway. Manhattan, Robln'a counsel. Ho stated that he would have Robin communicate it to the district attorney. Goldsmith stated that Robin informed him that after he had pleaded to the in dictment against him, and was leaving the room reserved, for cotiusel In the Tombs to go back to his cell, he was intercepted by a man whom he did not know, and who offered him a large sum If ho would refrain from making disclosures to the Grand Jury.

The sum ran Into four figures, Robin told Goldsmith, and the interest on it would be sufficient to support a man for life. Mr. Goldsmith said he had no Idea of who the man was or who he represented. It Is believed that In the testimony still to be given by Robin ho will present acute criticisms of Ihe banking methods in vogue in New York City, and of the way the state banking department is conducted. His most important testimony has not been presented to th i Grand Jury, It Is said, and will bo hold in reserve until the essential parts of it.

can be corroborated by wi messes that the prosecution Is now trying to get hold of. Mr. Goldsmith to-day reiterated the statement which he made last week to an Eagle reporter to the effect that the name of the head of an important banking Institution, not. generally mentioned before, will be drawn into tho case before the inquiry is ended. Tho prosecuting is engaged today in trying to find out where the money went to.

That is considered the first and most Important point just now. The material before the grand jury at present Is undertsood to be of such a character that the Indictments returned upon it would necessarily charge grand larceny. The matter of alleged bribery will be let go, it Is understood, until after all possible efforts have been made to find out whero the funds from tho collapsed Institution went to, and who profited, and to what extent. It is expected that twenty Indictments will bo relrned in nil not against twenty persons, bt in some cases several indictments against the same person. Six indictments are expected In the near future, it was learned to-day.

REBELS BLOCKADE TOWNS. Allow No Provisions to Reach the Inhabitants Refugees Fleeing Toward Border.

The insurrectos have determined that the supply of provisions shall remain in their hands, and It Is feared that non- eombalants will be subject to still greater hardships by the blockade. Hundreds of refugees are reported to be fleeing toward the borders, many of them attempting to make the journey on foot.

Six on Long Island Estimated to Be Worth About $10,000,000.

SITES ARE MOST DESIRABLE. Jockey Club Will Not Hold Any Races This Year Won't Take Responsibility. Through the action of the officials ot the Jockey Club at their meeting yesterday, property on Long island to tho value of approximately $10,000,000 will be Idle this year. This property consists of the tracks of the various racing associations. It was decided not to use them this year, because of the presence on the statute hooks of this state of the directors' liability which makes the officials of the associations responsible for any betting that Is carried on at the courses.

The tracks on Long Island are six In number, three of them in Brooklyn, two are in Queens Borough and one In Nassau County. It was intimated this morning by prominent officials of at least three clubs that an offer for the properties would be accepted if it met their approval. Of course, there can ho no sale until the stockholders meet and decide the question. Probably the most valuable of the race tracks from a real estate standpoint Is that of the Coney Island Jockey Club, located on Ocean avenue', Sheepshead Hay. The plant Is valued, on the tax books ot the city, at $2,500,000, and it is situated In ono of the best sections of the borough.

Secretary Schaumberg said this morning that the property would be sold if there was an offer that, could be favorably considered. Naturally, Mr. Schaumberg would 'not say just what the price would have to be. Another track that haB a commanding position from the building point of view Is that of Ihe Brooklyn Jockey Club, at Gravesend avenue and Kings Highway. This Is also in a location that Is being rapidly developed, and Is worth probably $1,000,000 or more.

The fact that the grounds run through to Ocean parkway make the property much more valuable. There has been no racing at Brighton Beach for the past few seasons, but tho property ot the Brighton Beach Racing Association Is located in an excellunt spot. It runs through from Gravesend aveiiuo to the Ocean boulevard, and is only about two blocks from the water front. As a site for desirable homes, it could hardly bo duplicated, and would undoubtedly be taken quickly by real estate promoters if It was put on the market. It is estimated that Brighton Beach is worth In the neighborhood of $1,000,000.

The biggest racing establishment on Long Island, outBide Brooklyn, and probably tho best in (he country, is at Belmont Park, in Nassau County. This track compares in every respect with Sheepshead Bay, but it. is larger. The property is worth about $2,500,000, but It is doubtful If it could be bought for that sum. There are also the properties ot the Metropolitan Jockey Club at Jamaica and Ihe Queens County Jockey Club at Aqueduct.

Both of these courses are probably worth $1,200,000 for real estate purposes. The other tracks In New York Stnte are located at Yonkers and Saratoga, and both are well situated. The former is porbablv worth $500,000 and the latter $1,000,000. The decision of Ihe Jockey Club will no doubt cause the real estate men to try to secure the properties. It has been rumored for several years that Gravesend would be sold, but the attitude of Mr.

Dwyer, who Is an enthusiast about the game, has always caused tho club to apply for dates another year. It may be, however, that the present turn of affairs will cause a big change. At any event the officials of the many associations will not sell until all hope of having a revival of the sport Is abandoned. SHEEPSHEAD BAY CLUB DYING Plumbers Get $128 Judgment by Default. No One Interested, Except to Wind Up Affairs Foreclosure Suit Pending.

It was disclosed to-day that nunc of the men who were officers of the old Sheepshead Bay Club, on Ocean avenue, Sheepshead Bay, is particularly interested In a judgment granted by default against, tho club by justice William S. Bngcnshutz in the Fifth District Municipal Court this morning. Two plumbers. Thomas J. Smith and Ernest C.

Tlieis, were the plaintiffs. The club holds In-cnrporatlon papers as a social organization, and had been summoned to appear to-day, but no ono appeared. The judgment was for $128.53, the amount of a bill rendered to tile club for repairs last December. Anti-racing legislation the props from under Ihe Sheepshead Hay (Hub, according to Frank T. Clarke to day.

Mr. Clarke was president, of the organization. It was a club controlled largely by racing Interests, being adjacent to racing ground, and when the bill was passed which killed "the horsea," the dues began to drop off and a great, many men who had been the club's strongest supporters began to resign. Tho club got into straits financially. Mr.

Clarke said to-day that the present Judgment makes ten or fifteen that have teen secured against it. He said he was sorrythat tho plumbers had not been able to get their money, but that he and other officers had nothing to do with the club, hadn't been there for a long time, and that they were not responsible for any debts the man in chargo might run up. There Is a mortgage of JiO.OOU against the property, and foreclosure Is pending. Mr. said that the property to-day was worth about and that besides the mortgage there were debts outstanding to the amount of about.

$5. WW. lie said that when the property had been sold, everybody would be paid off, that no one would suffer financially, and that doubtless there would even be a surplus. LIGHTNING HITS STEAMSHIP. Something about the big White Star liner Oceanic looked unfamiliar to the marine experts at Fire Island to-day.

They got their binoculars and saw that her foremast had been splintered at the top and the foretruck carried away. The captain explained when the Oceanic arrived at Quarantine that last Tues day, during a heavy hail squall, the Oceanic was struck by a bolt ot lightning. BAKER BADLY BEATEN. Samuel Kiesjin, a baker, of 13!) Jackson avenue, Long Island City, was attacked by three men at Cliff street and Webb avenue, early this morning and badly beaten. After he got out of their hands he went to St.

John's Hospital for treatment and several stitches had to be taken in his scaly.

Secretary of State lazansky Complies With.

Request of Internal Affairs Committee. (Special to The Eagle.) Albany, March 22-Amendments which will benefit chauffeurs, who must be licensed under the Callan automobile law, are to be drawn up by Secretary of State Edward Lazansky of Brooklyn, in accordance with a conference held today. The secretary of state was asked by Senators Walters, White, Murtaugh and Ferris and Assemblymen Evans and Thomas K. Smith, to draw up these amendments and give them to these legislators who are members of the Internal Affairs Committee, having charge of automobile legislation. The bills will probaby be ready for introduction next week.

Mr. Lazansky suggested that the men who operate cars which they do not own, and yet are compelled to pay a tax to tho state fgr the privilege of th'us earning their living, should not have to 1 pay the same amount for renewing their license cards, $5, as they do when they first register. A bill to reduce the cost will be among tho.se drawn 'by tho secretary of state. i Another amendment will provide for the return of the application fee to chauffeurs in case they do not take the examination following their application. Under the present law the secretary has no power to return this fee, and it goes into the coffers of the state.

The committee also told Mr. Lazansky that they believe he should have the fullest powers possible delegated to him In connection with the operation of the Callan law. Until the amendments which lie finds necessary are prepared, they assured him, no automobile legislation now before them would be advanced toward passage.
