Revolver Hudden in Desk Under Pa-pars, Six Feet From Body Large Sum Gone From Safe. In an unconscious condition, with a bullet wound in his abdomen from which he died, Julius Debrovsky. 55 years old, was found in his private bank at 20 Avenue this morning. As yet the police of the Fifth street station have been unable to determine whether 'the man was murdered or committed suicide. For the last six months the banker had been preparing to close his establishment and return to his native home In Hungary, and so far as can be learned he had plenty of money and neer appeared despondent.

That about $1,000 disappeared from the man's Bafe, which was opened when the police arrived, makes them of the opinion that a murder was committed. Half a dozen detectives are working on the case, and It Is hoped that they will bo able to clear up the mystery within a few hours. For the last eighteen years. Debrov szky had the small bank at the address In Avenue B. He had one clerk, Steph en nopntlv nM nf St.

She opened the front door, and as she did so she screamed upon seeing the banker leaning over a chair and with blood on his clothing.

There was a bullet wound in the abdomen, Policeman John Stath of the Fifth street station and several detectives were I called, and as they were making their Investigations, Berczelly, tho clerk came In. He Bald that he was at the bank un- 1 til 7 o'clock last night and that at that hour the banker had placed between $900 I and $1,000 In a drawer in the safe. This amount, he said, was the day's receipts.

Money Not Found in the Safe. While the police were questioning the elerk. the wife of the dead man appeared. She became hysterical, but the surgeon revived her and then she went to the safe. Opening the drawers, she was unable to find any of the money which the clerk said had been put there last night.

For some time the police were unable to find a revolver. Finally they went to the man's desk and In one of the lower drawers they found one. It was covered with various papers. In the revolver wers four loaded shells and one which had been exploded. This desk was about six feet from the chair in which the banker died.

Thi police were of the opinion that the man could not have placed the revolver where It was found and then walked to tho chair if he had shot himself. Howeve there were powdor marks on the man's vest, which shows the revolver wis close to his body. Berczelly and another man were closelv questioned and taken first to police, headquarters and then sent to the coroner's office.

Some of the conferees, it is understood to-day, have proposed that tho city g3 in with the Interborough Company In building the main trunk lines, and provide that all extensions should be built partly on the assessment prin ciple.

One plan presented is for the city to pay half and the property owners to pay half of the extension cost. It was said very emphatically at the commission to-day that the popular impression the city could not deal with both the B. R. T. and the Interborough was entirely erroneous.

It was pointed out that the city could still deal with the two companies and grant each the backbone of Its demands; to the Inter borough, the letter extensions; to the B. R.

Eagle Bureau, 608 Fourteenth Street. Washington, March 27 The fight of the antl-Amerlcan Trust League against Congressman John J. Fitzgerald of Brooklyn chairman of the House Appropriations Committee of the Congress does not cause even a ripple in Washington. The league has a headquarters In Washlng- on and represents a few extreme radi cals. So far as Influence goes.

It does not seem to possess any. M. L. Lockwood of Oklahoma is the president. H.

J. Schulteis is vice chair man of the executive committee. Mr. Schulteis had an altercation with Speak- Cannon sometime ago and was forcibly ushered to the door by Uncle Joe him self. The national treasurer, C.

T. Bride, a Bryanlte. Mr. Schulteis, when it was suggested 0 him to-day that It was a little bit ate to make a fight on Mr. Fitzgerald, whose selection already has been made, did not see it that way.

We wouldn have gone Into this fight we did not know that we were going win," he said. "We are going Into the caucus next Saturday and If we don't win. we will take the matter before the House. We will win there anvhow." In a letter addressed to the Commlt-c on Committees of the House, the eaguo alludes to the object of Its dis pleasure as "Cannon's Fitzgerald." It ays he belongs to the Canon trust sys- em that he is not a fit man for the Job, na proceeds to recite some of Fitzger-ld's past activities to sustain its Dolnt. The league assumes that there is some ort of a Fitzgerald-Cannon alliance hlch makes the Brooklyn man lmoossi- ble.

It winds up by declaring that the ppropnations chairman should. like Caesar's wife, be above suspicion. -Mr. Fitzgerald Is not in Washington ust now and, therefore, cannot combat tne things that the anti-Trust League trying to do to him. DIDN'T BEAT BEEF TRUST.

East Moriches Man Lost His Duck Dinner and Is Out $12.50 in Addition. (Special to The Eagle.) East Moriches, L. March 27 Nat Kirby, In attempting on Saturday, to eat the Beef Trust for a Sunday dinner, forgot to take into due consideration tho fnu that the Brown duck law was still In force; but was reminded of that fact by Game Prolectors Overton of Eaal Quogue, Horton of New Suffolk, McCor-mack of Brooklyn and Speenburg of Hunter, Greene County, who were on patrol in a launch and got after Kirby. Some fellow baymen In a launch faster than the protectors', took Kirby In tow. and reached the basin so far ahead that no ducks were found.

The protectors alleged that they saw Kirby take his decoys out of tho water, that his guu showed fresh powder stains, and that there were feathers and fresh blood In his boat. Kirby agreed flnnlly to plead guilty to the charge of attempting to take ducks, and the protectors agreed to ask the justice for a nominal penalty only. I'nder this agreement a visit was made to Justice R. P. Howell's office, and the result was a fine of with $2.50 costs.

Kirby went to the local butcher shop for the Sunday dinner finally, but It la strongly surmised that some fellow bay' men had ducks for their Sunday repast FIVE SENT TO ELMIRA. Judge Fawcett Informs Them That Kidnapping Girls to Marry Them Is Not Permitted. The group of Italian youths who, ac cording to their own cuBtom, hustled 17-year-old Anna Sanfratelio into a taxicah one morning, expecting to marry her to one of their number, were sent to El-mlra this morning by County Judge Fawcett, following their conviction of kidnapping. The young men were Salvatore Tennerino, Natale Tennerino, Gaetano Luiove and Gluseppl Ferre. In sending them to the reformatory.

Judge Fawcett told them that while they were guilty of kidnapping, there were mitigating circumstances in their cases, as they had not Intended to hold Anna for ransom or to do her harm. They merely wanted to compel her to marry Natale, whom she had refused to con sider a suitor for her hand. Such iv- teenth century metnoita. Judge Fawcett said, do not go and particu larly in this country, but as they had been hard working Italian youths and had never been arrested, he would not send them to prison, but to Elmlra. where they would learn something of laws of this country.

BODY THAT OF WILLIAM BELL. A body, recently washed on shore In the vicinity of Manhattan Beach, has been identified as that of William Bell of Ossinlng, N. Y. Bell was to have been married Easter week to Mrs. Phoebe Murray, of Tompkins avenue, Ossinlng, a young widow.

A wallet containing $104 was found in Bell's pocket. This wallet led to his identification. No reason Is known why Bell should have wanted to kill himself. His sister committed suicide six months ago. FOUND HANGING TO A TREE Fredrick Fitschen, Retired Brooklyn Butcher, a Suicide at Hollis.

Relative Suggests Murder, but Letters Found on Body Tell of Desire to End It All. The body of Frederick Fitschen, a retired butcher, 62 year sold, of 49 Walcott street, was found hanging suspended by tho neck with a piece of clothesline to a tree in a clump of woods at Hillside ave- nue'and Queens road, Hollis, last evening, by order of t-le coroner, to Ever itt's morgue, at 25 Washington street, W'here it was identified by Richard D. Borsman. a feed man, of 431 Cornelia street, who said he was a brother-in-law of the deceased. Relatives and friends of the dead man declared they could not understand what prompted the man to take his life, and his brother-in-law even expressed It as his opinion that Fitschen might have been strung up to the tree by enemies, but this the police consider hardly probable Several letters were found in the man pockets, and one was addressed to his wife, expressing despondency and a de- sire to end it all, but giving no other reason for suicide.

Fitschen, who was well-known in the 12th Ward of Brooklyn, where he had lived since boyhood, is said to have left home on Saturday afternoon to go to a theater, He intended then to go to his mother's home for tea, and from there to a ban quet of the Erie Basin Board of Trade, in which organization he has long been an. active worker. The deceased did not appear at his mother's home nor at the banquet, it is said. Fitschen was reputed to be wealthy, owning considerable Brooklyn real estate. Whether he had lost any money recently could not be ascertained.

The body was removed by a Brooklyn undertaker- this morning from Everitt's morgue to the Walcott Btreet house. BURGLARY AT BATH BEACH Broke Into House Occupied Only by Two Women.

one corner of the window be- lug broken to admit a hand, which coull then open the lock. Once inside the thieves broke open closet doors and drawers. Mrs. Horbert did not sleep in her own bed room on this particular evening, but with her maid, on the second floor of the house. The burglars did not venture above the first floor.

In a drawer in a table in the bedroom on tho first floor, Mr3. Horbert kept a number of diamond brooches In the boxes in which they had come. The boxes were left, but the brooches, rings and also a couple of gold watches were taken. From the dining room all the silverware was taken, a quantity of cutglass and $135 In cash, which was In a wallet on the dlningroom table. In the dining room, also, was a half gallon of imported wine.

Judging from the fact that there was not a drop left, the burglars had quite a good time of It. L. I. RAILBOAD TO EXPLAIN. P.

S. Board to Hear About Fare, Brooklyn to Manhattan. The Public Service Commission has called on the Long Island Railroad Company to make explanation of the fare charged between the Flatbush avenue. station In Brooklyn and the Pennsylvania terminal In Manhattan. The regular charge is thirty-five ccnts, being ten cents to Ozone Park and Twenty-flv.

cents to Manhattan, or sixty cents for the round trip. This service, for which it Is understood the Pennsylvania Railroad pays, was established with the annex ferry from Jersey City to Fulton street, Brooklyn, was shut down. Complaint has been made to the Commission because of the charge of thirty-five cents, when only ten cents is required for the entire distance from passengers holding mileage books of the Pennsylvania Railroad.

A clear chain of wireless telegraph stations extending from Maine to Florida is now Included In the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company's system, the annual report of the company for the past year, made public to-day, shows. New stations were erected during the year south of New York and many coastwise vessels have been added to the fleet equipped with the Harcooi system. 1 I TO Such a Proposal Will Possibly Be Made To-morrow to the Public Service Commission. CONSIDERED A TRUMP CARD Will Be Used bv Commission to Bring Interborough to Terms. City Will Be the Gainer.

Another big change Is foreshadowed in the subway situation to-day'by the news that the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Cora pany has agreed to extend its proposed subway system Into the Bronx. The company has Indicated Its position to the Public Service Commission and the Commission has the matter before it. The proposal Is that the company op erate the old Trl-borough route north of Fifty-ninth street, Manhattan, the north ern point of the proposed B. R.T. system.

The Commission now has under con sideration changes In the specifications of the Tri-borough which have been requested by the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company. The operation of the upper New York, llne3 by the B. R. T. Is contingent upon the refusal of the Interborough Rapid Transit Company, to make terms with the city.

The statement of the B. R. T. Is a trump card which the Commission might play In the Interborough negotiations. The Trl-borough route called for a subway up Lexington avenue to East One Hundred and Thirty-eighth street, and from that point for two prongs, one out River avenue and Jerome avenue to Woodlawn road and Van Cortlandt Park, and the other across One Hundred and Thirty-eighth street, and thence through Southern boulevard, Whitlock avenue and Westchester avenue.

It was gathered at the Public Service Commission to-day that the B. R. T. will be asked, if it has not yet been asked, to give up the Broadway subway and take a route from the Battery to Fifty-ninth street, which would coincide with the Trl-borough route. This request would lead to delicate negotiating, as the company has stood very firmly for the Broadway subway.

It is known that Seventh avenue and at least one other street has been suggested to the company as alternatives. The matters arising from the foregoing Important decision of tho traction com Pny come up for argument to-morrow morning at meeting of the Public Service Commissioners, the members of the Board of Estimate and Apportionment committal and the B. R. T. directors.

Purchase of Elevated Roads by City Complicates B. T. Offer. The conferees this afternoon have also before them the question of whether or not tie city shall buy the elevated roads of the B. R.

T. that are to be linked into the subway system. This matter is considered very complicated. The price would be contingent. It Is said, upon when the sale was to become effective.

There Is also the possibility that the city might acquire an option only on the property. It was learned definitely to-day that of the extensions of routes proposed to the Interborough Rapid Transit Company bj the city committee and the commission four out of five are for Brooklyn.

Satisfied That Courts Have Done No Injustice to the Bankers. ADVERSE REPORT TURNED IN Attorney, General Made Exhaustive Examination Eeleased Prisoner Says Morse Is Losing His Mind. Eagle Bureau, 608 Fourteenth Street. Washington, March 27 President Taft, it was said at the White House to-day, has decided to take no action in the cases of Charles W. Morse of New York, now In prison in Atlanta, and John R.

Walsh of Chicago, who is serving a sen tence In Leavenworth. This determination of the President is said to be in line with the recommendations of the Attor ney General, who has made an exhaustive examination of both cases. It is understood that President Taft sees no reason why clemency should be extended to either of the financiers at the present time. He Is satisfied that the courts have done no Injustice to Morse and Walsh. For the time, at least this seems to decide the long fight which Mrs.

Morse has been making for the re lease of her husband, and the efforts of the friends of the aged Chicago banker to bring about his freedom. It is declared that when Morse's petition for pardon was prepared to be submitted to President Taft, less than two months ago, the prisoner's health was reported to be entirely normal, Morse is serving a fifteen-year sentence while Walsh is serving a sentence of five years. The papers in the two caseB have been before the President for several weeks. They first were considered by Attorney General Wiekersham, who went exhaustively Into the evidence presented at the trials of the two bankers, and who also made a thorough inquiry Into the condition of the health of the two former bankers. Various reports as to the recommendations of the attorney general have been current, and two weeks ago it was rumored that Morse was to be pardoned.

This report was entirely without foundation, for even the friends of the banker had not expected anything better than a commutation of sentence. It is stated to-day that the' President, acting on the recommendation of the attorney general, will even deny a commutation In the Morse case. Morse has been In the penitentiary in Atlanta a little more than a year. President Taft to-day granted an unconditional pardon to Thomas H. Johnson, a prominent farmer of Scott County, Arkansas, who had been convicting of cutting timber from government land, but who was awaiting sentence.

It was shown that he had no intent to defraud the government. John F. Gaynor, released a few days ago from the Federal prison at Atlanta, where he had spent four years for ths Savannah harbor frauds, reached New York yesterday. He said that Morse is ill, physically and mentally. "Even now you can see his mind falling," he said, "and I feel sure he will be insane before long unless he gets out." Gaynor added taht Morse is hardly able to leave his cell.

He said that he sits for hours at a time looking blankly at the walls of his prison. Morse has looked forward to a pardon, but he Is losing confidence In the efforts made In his behalf. He dislikes to see visitors, Gaynor said, seems to want only to be left alone. AFTER WILLIAMS' SCALP German-Americans Will Ask Tatf for His Removal.

There are six happy women In East Elmhurst to-day and as many dogs are decked In blue ribbon. The pets have been returned, with a clean bill of health, after being under observation for nine days in Manhattan.

Two weeks ago the women were arrested and nrraig.ied in court at Flushing charged with defying the. Health De partment by refusing to give up their dogs.

It was claimed that the animals had sores on their bodies, Indicating they had been bitten by a rabid dog that ran through that section some time before. Tho owners were sure their dogs had not been bitten and refused to give them up to be destroyed. Then came their arrest. Each was held In nominal bail for tho Court of Special Sessions and ordered surrender her dog. Then they were told the dogs.

If they were found to be free from rabies, would not he destroyed and would bo returned at the end of nine days. To-day the dogs came home and each was warmly welcomed and-given special attention in the way of caresses, food and adornments. It is believed that when the cases are called in the Sessions this week the fair defendants will bo discharged. PROTECTORS IN HARD LUCK.

I Special to The Eagle.) Moriches, L. March 27 East -Game Protectors Overton. Horton. McCormack and Speenburg tell how hard their work is patrolling the bay, beach and main shores. "Saturday, just west of Smith's Point, looking with our glasses wo saw men with guns on the beach, and headed toward the beach with our launch, but could not get within a mile.

Wo poled the small boat ashore, and the gunners were hiking west a mile beyond us. "It was the proverbial stern chase, hut we caught up after an hour's pursuit, and found three fur hunters, Dan Havens, Ar, lltur Havens and George Havens. They had one fox and one musltrat, and all three showed licenses, so there was noth-Uig tor us but a long tramp back again,".
