THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW YORK, THURSDAY, JULY 23, 1914. WOMAN TRIES SUICIDE. Throws Herself in Front of Car, but Is Saved. As Patrolman John Hufman was walking his beat at Riker avenue and Old Bowery Bay road, Long Island City, at 2 o'clock this morning, a woman, who stated that she was Margaret Hand, 29 years old, of South Fourth street and Marcy avenue, Brooklyn, walked briskly past him and threw herself upon the tracks in the path of a North Beach car approaching along Riker avenue.

If her action had self destruction as its object, however, it was poorly timed, for the motorman saw her in ample time to stop his car. The woman is being held upon a charge of attempted suicide. POLICE LOOT $50,000 IN ROCK VILLE CENTRE Officer Petersen Third Policeman Accused of Robberies Arrested. HALF OF FORCE IN CUSTODY. Lynbrook, Baldwin, East Rockaway Robbed and Village Trustees Are Aghast.

(Special to The Eagle.) Rockville Centre, L. July 23 -When the village of Rockville Centre recovered, today, from its daze over the discovery that one half its police force of six was not, unlike Cesar's wife, without reproach, and that of it had covered itself and the village with shame by getting "jugged" for burglary, it set about doing two things in its wrath. One was to discover just how much stuff had been stolen in the period covered by the burglaries and the other to find the missing one-sixth of the force, Rolof Petersen. The thing of greatest moment was to find Rolof. Where had he gone? The village trustees sat down and considered him.

He had relatives in Holyoke, so Holyoke should be the first point of search. County Detective Phineas Seaman, who is a mighty man in these parts, the more so since he arrested Mrs. Florence Carman, left Long Island last night for Massachusetts. Most of Rockville Centre saw him depart. The hunt for Rolof was on.

In a certain street of Holyoke a sinewy hand fell upon a broad shoulder the law of Peterson, County stretches and Rolof learned, today that even to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Detective Phineas is coming home with Policeman Rolof and Rockville Centre will thrust an ice cold shoulder toward the former guardian of its law and order. Dr. D. N.

Bulson, president of the village and trustees Ed Wallace and F. G. Hooley sat down together today to figure out just how much that part of Long Island had been "skinned" in jewelry, clothing and other stuff by the alleged burglar-police. As they footed it up, item by item, their brows became more and more knotted. It was a princely loss; $50,000 as Dr.

Bulson Agured it. There was Just one crumb of comfort in the whole affair. It came in the shape of a telegram from Detective Phineas stating tersely that Policeman Petersen was in the hands of the law and that he would be brought back to Nassau County Justice tomorrow. Looted Zone Widens as Trustees Survey Losses. The village president and the trustees spent an interesting day looking for the caches where the loot was hidden and the places that had been robbed.

In some instances everything been taken except the houses. Interesting discoveries were made in Lynbrook, Baldwin and East Rockaway. Someone remarked, when the horrifying discovery was made that the police force had a betrayed its trust, that the village was shocked from center to circumference. That was too mild. It was rocked to its foundations and little earthquake tremblers were still issuing from the core of it today.

In barber shops, at the railroad station waiting for the Long Island City train, at the grocery stores -everywhere--residents were discussing this glaring example of a corruption within the very citadel itself. How badly the village felt may be gauged from the degree of trust it formerly placed in the discredited onehalf of the force. It trusted it to the extent that when a Rockville Centre man went away for the summer he readily handed over his keys to the police and departed secure in mind. It was: "Officer, I am going away tomorrow. Here are the keys.

I know that the house is as safe in your custody as if it were locked in a safe deposit vault." Sure, the house was safe, for it rested firmly on its foundations, but cottagers now discovering, right and left, that there is nothing much left inside save the wallpaper. An interesting fact which came to light today, was that on the night when the righteous half of the force went looking for the unrighteous half, they tip-toed around the village until 4 o'clock in the morning, blowing their whistles, and could not find their men. When Amos Veritzan and Harry Wicks were finally" rounded up they confessed that they had been sleeping snugly in a cottage on the Merrick road. They had gone upstairs and tumbled quietly into bed while the other half of the force was scouting around after them. Adolf Hussar, whose drygoods store on the Merrick road was "touched off," said today: "We have been in our shop since February.

Six weeks after we moved in our place was robbed of $2,000 worth of stock. There is a back door exit opening on alley that leads to another street. No bars protect the window. The stuff was taken out that way. After we reported the robbery to the police they spread the story that we had fixed it up ourselves to get advertising." The town is talking about organizing a vigilance society and the Rockville Centre Business Men's Protective Association is going to get on the job and help the village fathers find out just how much stuff was taken away and where it went to.

It will probably be a long time before Rockville Centre quiets down, but there are some things to remember with pride Detective Phineas Seaman rounded up the whole affair and he has caught the missing one-third of the force. Phineas is a real detective. Holyoke, July 23-Rolof Petersen, a police officer of Rockville Centre, N. charged with larceny in that town, waived extradition in Holyoke police court this morning and was turned over to Inspector Phineas Seaman of Mineola to be taken back. SUBWAY BIDS OPENED were opened today by the Public Service Commission for the station finin the six stations on the extension of the Fourth avenue subway.

Six firms entered the bidding, the lowest figure being offered by the Station Construction Company of 277 Broadway, Manhattan, at $250,000. The stations in question are those at Forty-fifth street, Fifty-third street, Fifty street (express), Bay Ridge avenue, Seventy-seventh street and Eighty-sixth street (express). P. S. ENGINEERS WILL STUDY TREE-SAVING Commissioners Pass Resolution Ordering Probe and Full Report.

WILL BE IN NEXT THURSDAY. Commissioner Williams of Brooklyn Confident Way Will Be Found to Protect Elms. SAVE THE PARKWAY TREES! Definite action looking toward the saving of the 1,000 trees on the Eastern Parkway that are threatened with destruction by the new subway was taken today by the Public Service Commission when it unanimously passed a resolution ordering Chief Engineer Alfred Craven to complete his investigation of the situation and make report at the meeting of the board next Thursday as to any possible method of procedure by which the trees may be allowed to stand. Although no definite statement could be obtained as to the results so far accomplished by the engineering department, it is now believed at the commission way will be out the difficulty. By the attitude mol of the Commissioners today it was evident that they would insist that everything possible should be done to avoid cutting down the elms.

Commissioner Williams of Brooklyn made the motion for the engineer's report and spoke of the importance of saving the trees. In seconding the motion, Commissioner Wood expressed the opinion that everything possible should be done by the commission to devise means of avoiding impairing the roots. The question of cost was not discussed today, it being said that this would come out when the engineer's report was made. Chairman McCall was not present, being out of town, but it was reported that he had personally requested the engineers to go into the matter. "We are now doing all we can to save the trees," said Commissioner Williams.

"There would have been more haste about it, but it was unnecessary because the plans for the line are not finished, and we are not contemplating beginning that work for a number of weeks. I am in absolute sympathy with the Brooklyn people, and organizatiois that are insisting on preserving the beauty of the driveway. The movement has been brought to my attention from many quarters, and I have found that the women of the borough, too, are taking a special interest in the trees." MARY BURNS DEAD. Took Bichloride of Mercury Tablets About a Week Ago. Huntington, L.

July 23-Mary Burns, the 19-year-old girl who attempted to commit suicide about a week ago by taking three bichloride of mercury tablets after her lover had departed, died last night. The girl had been living with Mrs. Gardner, whose home is on New York avenue, a little north of Huntington Station. She had no known cause to commit suicide. It is thought that she and her lover disagreed.

While the girl's death was still uncertain, he often came to her bedside and passed many hours in that way. MARRIAGE LICENSES during the 24 hours ending at 10 Issued A.M. today. Elias Pessin, 25.. .193 Sackman st Eva Figar, 27.......

(Special to The Eagle.) Sayville, L. July a sea-sarpint in Lake Ronkonkoma," yelled an excited citizen as he rushed into the postoffice here last evening, waving his arms, and trembling all over. "About what size?" drawled an aged oysterman near the door. "By golly, it was at least eighty foot," said the man with the big news; "and by gravy, only I'm afeard you'll doubt my words, I believe there's a pair of 'em." "Seen 'em with yer own peepers?" asked the oyster farmer. "Betcher life!" said the scared individual; "and they had mouths big enough to hold an elephant, and teeth at least a foot an' a half long." The.

sea serpent story traveled through the surrounding country like wildfire, and took like moving pictures until it was 'killed by someone who knew the facts, which are as follows, to wit: Two Ave foot alligators that were confined estate of a Mr. Hart, got away from their quarters some time yesterday, and are enjoying their freedom in Lake Ronkonkoma. They are the only ones who are enjoying hathing in the lake just now, and until they are recaptured, nervousness will tho principal trouble that the doctors hereabouts will have to prescribe for.

MUST CITY PAY INJURED EMPLOYEES? TEST IS MADE HERE Bureau of Highways Employees Insured--Controller Won't Pay Bill. COURTS TO SETTLE ISSUE.

Decision Hinges on Whether City Employs Help "for Pecuniary Gain." Is the City of New York, under the provisions of the Workmen's Compensation Law, bound to protect this of its employees who are engaged in dangerous or hazardous occupations? If it taxpayers will be compelled to stand the burden of supplying hundreds of thousands of dollars that will be needed to pay the Insurance premiums. The question seems to hang upon the interpretation of a section of the law which defines employment as a "trade, business or occupation carried on by the employer pecuniary gain." Whether the municipality is conducted for pecuniary gain is questioned by Controller Prendergast, who holds the purse strings of the city, and he has referred the matter to Corporation Counsel Polk for an opinion. A thorough test of the question has been arranged by the Controller, and the Brooklyn Bureau of Buildings is the department which is to be made use for this purpose because of the many employees in it who are engaged in hazardous occupations within the meaning of the new compensation law. After the usual preliminary skirmishes in the lower courts, the case will be carried to the Court of Appeals so that a final opinion may be secured. Already an opinion has been given on this question by Attorney General Thomas Carmody, in which he pointed out that under a chapter of this year's laws creating the Compensation Commission, "employer" was expressly defined as "Including the State and a municipal corporation or other political subdivision thereof." "It therefore follows," said Mr.

Carinody, all the provisions of the act are applicable to State and its political subdivisions. There is no liability created as against the State or its political subdivisions except that created by Section 2 of the act as to hazardous employments therein in detail classified." After quoting the section defining "employment," the Attorney General continued: "It may very properly be urged that there are not many occupations carried on by the State, Its municipalities and political subdiso far as a there are such occupations visons, for pecuniary gain, but only has the statute included the State and its subdivisions within its provisions." F. Spencer Baldwin, manager of the State Insurance Fund, when asked about what city departments he considered were conducted for pecuniary gain, said: question whether the municipal employer is an employer for pecuniary gain is a nice one. In the Department of Water Supply, Gas and Electricity, New York City might figure as such, because there is a slight profit to the city there. But whatever gain there might be there is offset by the losses of other departments, and the whole effect is for mutual good, not pecuniary gain.

It is a question that has puzzled us here, and personally, doubt if there is any way of including the All of the bureau employees whose occupations are included in the hazardous class, as described by the Workmen's Compensation Act, were insured by Public Works Commissioner Voorhies with the Workmen's Compensation Commission. A policy was issued dating from July 1, for a period of six months, covering the employees the Bureau of Highways. Mr. Baldwin presented a bill to President Pounds calling for the payment of $12,604 in premiums for the insurance policy. Public Works Commissioner Voorhies transmitted the bill to Controller Pendergast for payment.

The Controller raised the question, as to whether or not the city was obligated to pay the bill, on the ground that the administration of the city 1s not conducted for gain. KEENEY ESTATE GREW. Executors Increased It From $1,785,691 to $1,907,538. Frank A. Keeney and the Brooklyn Trust Company, executors of the estate of Seth L.

Keeney, filed their accounting with the Surrogate today. The accounting was accepted and marked for decree. The executors received when they took charge of the estate on March 19, 1913, stocks and bonds and other personal property to the value of $1,785,691.16. Since that time, through dividends, interest and the sale of various parts of the estate, the executors have increased it $121,538.32, making a total of $1,907,538.48, for which they rendered an accounting; $76,616.83 was deducted from the estate for funeral and administration expenses, debts and expenses. The legacies paid were $50,000 to Frank A.

Keeney; $10,000 to Grace W. Beatty, $4,000 to Teresa Dunn, $2.500 to Susan Pierson, $1,000 to the Greenwood Cemetery. Trust funds of $2,500 each were paid for Irene and Ruth Pierson and Seth K. Beatty, and a $50,000 trust fund for Rubie H. Keeney.

Frank A. Keeney also received personal effects and silverware valued at $1,253.50. The executors still have in their posan unexpended balance amounting to $1,612,248.03. LOOKING GLASS CUT HIM. Sidney E.

F. WESTIN ESCAPES BAD AUTO INJURIES Frank S. Jones' Son-in-Law Will Survive Fall From Percy McKee's Car. DR. JAMES WALL ATTENDS HIM.

Head of Big Jones Corporation Thought Badly Hurt in Bellport Accident. (Special to The Eagle.) Sayville, L. July 23-Clarence Frederick Westin, thrown from the automobile of McKee, Bellport, yesterday afternoon, and thought to be dangerously hurt, is by no means as seriously injured as was believed. His skull was not fractured, as the first reports stated. Just before noon today, Dr.

James Watt, Brooklyn, whose summer home is at Bellport, and was at once called, said that everything looked encouraging. "Unless unexpected complications set in," said Dr. Watt, "he will not only recover, but there will be no permanent, "There injury. is a somewhat bad concussion and a lacerated ear. He has not quite recovered consciousness as yet, but there are no bad symptoms.

After the accident, which was at 3 o'clock yesterday, he was carried to the home of Frank Gaines Burke, near by in Bellport. I arrived at 4:30, and two hours later carried him over here in an automobile." Mr. Westin is at Beechwold, the summer home of his father-in-law, Frank Smith Jones, of Brooklyn, with whom he has been staying. He married Mr. Jones' younger doughter, Miss Maude Virginia Jones, five years ago.

Prior to his marriage he had been known chiefly as a "society man." He became associated with Mr. Jones' interests, grew ambitious and climbed to the top with extraordinary rapidity. Now he is president of two of the most important corporations of the three Jones Brothers, dealers in teas and coffees on one of the largest scales in this country, the Jones Brothers Company and the Jones Brothers Importing Company. He is not quite 30 years of age, lives at 600 West End avenue, Manhattan, and has two children. Percy McKee, is a son of John McKee, one of Brooklyn's best-known men and a leading figure in the Hanover Club, told the story of yesterday's accident at his office, 119 Lorimer street, today.

Mr. Westin passed such a very good night and seemed to be getting along so well that Mr. McKee had no hesitation about leaving him and coming into the city. "I can't tell you now, exactly how It happened," said Mr. McKee.

"I did see Westin fall off, because I was driving the car. I simply know he fell. It was my car, and five of us, having been at the Wyandotte Hotel, Bellport, were going over to the Bellport Country Club. The car is a small one and two of the fellows had to hang on, as it were. Westin was one of these.

He was seated on the folded over top. The other men were James Doig of Brooklyn and Frank Gines Burke and Fred Sherwood of Manhattan. Car Passing Slow When Accident Befel Westin. "The accident happened just as we were starting. We were scarcely out of the Wyandotte yard.

I did not make a quick turn, nor was I trying to get out of the way of another machine. We were not going over eight miles an hour, certainly not more. The car was in its second speed. I made a slight turn. Westin must have lost his balance.

"We took him to Frank Burke's house nearby and as quickly as possible got Dr. Watt, who has a country place at Bellport. We all had an anxious night, and Dr. Watt is still with him. But this morning everything began to look very well.

Westin will undoubtedly recover." It is difficult imagine an accident 'on Long Island in which prominent Brooklynites could play greater part. Clarence Westin is not only the son-in-law of Mr. and Mrs. Frank S. Jones, and himself a Brooklyn manufacturer of high standing, but he is the brother-in-law of William Robinson Simons (better known in club life and on the street as "Pete" Simons, a partner of Ernest F.

Emanuel) and the former Miss Henrietta Louise Jones, who was one of the. very notable Brooklyn belles of her day. Percy McKee married, two or three years ago, Miss Edith Smith, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wilson Randolph Smith, formerly of the Eastern District.

Frank Gaines Burke married Miss Janet De Long of the well-known De Long family of this borough. James Doig, who lives in the St. Mark's avenue section, is one of the most noted of Brooklyn automobilists, and Dr. Watt, whose Brooklyn home is 174 Clinton street, married Miss Roberta Bach. Sayville and Bellport together make up one of the most fashionable Brooklyn colony groups on all Long Island.

The Frank S. Jones country place, Beechwold, at Sayville, is the most beautiful in all that section, and close neighbors of theirs are Mr. and Mrs. William Tyson Hayward, whose city home is on Washington Park. Clarence Westin, who has met with such a narrow escape, has had one of the most romantic commercial careers imaginable.

Never a serious business personality until his marriage he has become as nearly a successor to Frank Jones in the great Jones corporations as any man could de. Some say his success has been in a large part due to the farreaching ambition of his young wife. At all events, Young a Westin has managed to meet with the approval of one of the shrewest business men in America as one by one he has laid his commercial burdens down. Story of Jones' Rise to Wealth Full of Incentive. The quietest and most unassuming of men naturally, Frank Jones, today many times a millionaire, the upbuilder of a wonderful trading organization, started forty -three years ago with his two brothers carying packages of tea and coffee in small baskets over and through the mountains around Scranton, Pa.

Police Have Records of Men Accused of Bludgeoning Watchman February 18. The police believe that they have in custody the murderers of August Lehman, the the the watchman in the coal yard of Thatford Ackerman, who was found dead, with a fractured skull, in the coal yard at the corner of Junius street and Pitkin avenue, early on the morning of February 18 last.

The case was a mystery and the police could get no trace, for months of the burglars. The development of the matter came through a confession, or a "squeal" from a disgruntled burglar. The informer was William Hahn, alias Smith, who was arrested and convicted for a burglary at 246 Bowery. He was sent to the prison at Dannemora the other day on a term of twenty years, to which six years were added for breaking a previous parole from prison. He was angry when he was sent because one of his pals, George Christie, alias Gordon, had turned State's evidence against him and got only from five to seven and a half years for the crime.

After he was sent to Dannemora Hahn wrote to Inspector Faurot, telling him that he had some information to impart about a murder in Brooklyn. The inspector sent a man to the prison to get his story, which he swore to. His evidence was to the effect that the burglars at the Thatford Ackerman place were Christie, John Radicoce, of 139 Thompson street, known in the underworld as "'The Jap," and George Jeandmanage, of 75 Christopher street, who was known to his friends as "Frenchy George. The story of the murder of the old watchman, as told by the disgruntled prisoner, was circumstantial in its details that Inspector Faurot was willing to believe It. After having bound watchman the burglars went to the office and blew open the safe.

While they were at work the watchman appeared. He had managed to free himself from his bonds, had bravely staggered to his feet and had gone to give an alarm Frenchy George, according to the informant, met him and struck him on the head with a jimmy. The man dropped, unconscious, with fracture a of the skull. On the receipt of the information the detectives started to find the Jap and Frenchy George, who were not in custody. Detective Oliver of the Manhattan office arrested the Jap early this morning at his home, and then went after Frenchy George.

They found the latter on the Bowery and took him to headquarters on Centre street, and later to headquarters in this borough. Both of the men denied any participation in the burglary or the murder. Then they were taken to the New Jersey Avenue Court for arraignment before Magistrate Naumer, who held them without bail. The third man wanted, Christie, is now in prison. A charge of murder was made against George Jeandmange, and the others will be charged with being accessories.

The charge of burglary will also be made against the men. The Jap 1s 23 years old, and his home is at 139 Thompson street, Manhattan. He has been in the custody of the police many times. Frenchy George is 22 years old, and 1 his home is at 75 Christopher street. He is out on bail on a suspended sentence for burglary.
