Ho said he walked down Bay Twentieth street in the direction of his. home and when near Cropsey avenue was struck on the bark of the head and was felled to the ground. hen he was restored to consciousness some time later he was in the police station, under the care of an ambulance surgeon, who later took him to the Coney Island Hospital and put several stitches In his head.

He said he was about thirty feet away from them and when be headed them off and spoke to them they started to run. Then It was too late. Policeman Har-loy said he found a memorandum book near the spot where he arrested one of the men and that a pearl handled pocket knife was found on one of the men. The knife and book were Identified by Martin as his property. His money was not recovered.

GROSSBARD DENIES IT. Declares He Didn't Accuse Patrick F. Lynch of Causing His Bartender's Arrest. Frank Grossbard called at the Eagle office to-day and made a statement concerning the Implied accusation that Patrick F. Lynch had caused the arrest of Gross-bard's bartender, Philip Aderman, in Som-ers Hall.

Sunday. The Eagle had printed the statement that friends of Orossbard had said that Lynch, the antl-McCarreu loader of the Twenty-third Assembly District, was responsible for the arrest. Grossbard said this afternoon that Lynch called on him last night and made It plain that he was angry over tho accusation. "I told Mr. lu'tich, tlrat I had not accused him of Causing the arrest," said Grossbard.

"If any of my friends said that Mr. Lynch was responsible, I didn't hear tuein, and I certainly did not entourage them to believe that Mr. Lynch bad anything to do with the arrest. "Mr. Lynch knows that I have been an organization Republican In that district for eighteen years and that I have never taken sides in tho factional fights of the Democrats.

Naturally, I don't want him to believe that I have accused him of trying to oppress me. I don't know who caused the unjust arrest of my bartender, but supposed it was some, one who bad been thrown out of the place, or who had some private grievance." Last evening in the presence of Philip A. Reilly, William H. Parry and Alderman William P. Satvdiford, Grossbard approached Mr.

Lynch and emphatically disclaimed any responsibility for the above statement and eisioied that it was a fabrication on tho part of eaemies in order to create trouble between him and Lynch. The statement placing responsibility for the arrest upon Lynch was actually made by Grossbard himself In the Gates avenue court yesterday. PATBI0TIC AMELIA WEIBERT. In tho midst of busy planning of details for the Hudson-Fulton celebration, the commission paused to acknowledge officially the receipt from little Amelia Weibert of 195 Irving avenue of 8 cents, which the child' forwarded as her share of the expenses for the celebration. The girl read in the newspapers that if every inhabitant In the city should give 74 cents, the total amount would equal the appropriation asked for by the commission.

The acknowledgment of Amelia's offering is signed by Isaac N. Seligman, treasurer of the commission, whose letter in part reads: "You can have the satisfaction of know-tno. nnt onlv that you have contributed to the celebration of these two great events, but that you nave given an example of patriotism and love of your city which may well be imitated by others." LITTLE ITALIAN MOTHER. Takes Her Younger Brother to Chil dren's Court for Playing Hookey. Frances Nusso is a little Italian house keeper, 16 years old, at 325 Bond street.

Her mother died about a year ago. She has older sisters, but they are either married or work every day, so that Frances has to take care of her father and her two younger brothers Vincent, who is 13 and wild as a goat at times, and Frank. 10 years old and she does it well. Her only trouble is in managing Vincent, who has fallen in with bad companions, thinks Frances, since the family moved to South Brooklyn, and although he is very good at times, he sometimes breaks out and gets uncontrolable. Yesterday he played hookey to see the circus parade.

Sister Frances took Vincent to the Children's Court and he was remanded until Friday. INDEX OF REGULAR FEATURES. Classification. Athletics Automobiles Baeball llillliivds Hnw-ltny Htixins (hss Pago l-r Classification. Fane.

Weather 15 Women's Iept Wrestling '4 -5 Indlcaus Supplsmrab Private Capital Now Said to Be Ready to Act on Travis-Robinson Bill Lines. COMPETITION IS IN SIGHT. Hints of a New Bid for Fourth AvenueFeeling as to Bond Exemption Amendment. Unless all signs fail, as soon as the Travis-Robinson bill shall have received the Mayor's and Governor's approval, steps preliminary to the greatest subway development in the history of the city will at once be taken.

Realizing that the constitutional amendment, exempting self-supporting subway bonds from com putation In the debt limit, will place the city In a practically Independent po6l tlon. private capital. It was authoritatively stated to-day, would hasten to avail itself of the reasonable terms extended to it in the former bill to Invest In subway projects. Xot only will extensions and new routes be constructed In Manhattan, if present plans are carried out, but it is asserted that Brooklyn also will share In the transit development. After shifting its attitude again and again, high officials of the Iaterborough Rapid Transit Company let It be known to-day that the company would in all probability inaka arrangements to build Its east 6lde and weBt side extensions in Manhattan.

"If. as it is asserted, the ten-year check In the Travis-Robinson bill does not apply to extensions to the present subway system, it is fair to assume that the Interborough will press Its application to construct Its proposed extension from Forty-second street north under Lexington avenue to the Bronx, and its proposed extension south from Times square to the Battery," said an official of the company this morning. in making this statement, however. I am obviously assuming that reasonable terms will be granted by the Public Service Commission and also by the Hoard of Estimate. Also, it must always be distinctly understood that third-tracking of the Second and Third avenue elevated roads is a necessary part of the carrying out of our proposed Improvements.

The added revenue to be derived from the Installation of those tracks will serve to help pay. the cost of building the subway extensions." Whether the Public Service Commls-slon will consent to the building by the Interborough of a subway under Lexington avenue unless the company will agree to construct also the Broadway end of the route Is doubtful. It Is known that the Public Service Commission regards the Broadway-Lexington avenue route as the most Important of any It has laid out for Manhattan, and it was learned to-day that the commissioners would be very loath to accept an offer contemplating the construction of only one of the road. The Bradley, Gaffney, Steers Company, It was pointed out, has on file an application to build the entire route, together with a spur connecting with the bridge subway loop. According to Arthur J.

Baldwin, counsel for the contracting firm, Important developments are likely soon to take place. "While I am not yet In a position to make a final announcement," said Mr. Baldwin to a reporter for the Eagle td-day. "I will state that If the Travis-Robv inson bill, on careful analysis, measures up to its purported scope, there wUl be something doing on our part. And Brooklyn will be included In what we propose to do." "It has been suggested that there might be a new bid for the Fourth Avenue subway." it was remarked.

"Does your client Intend to make that bid?" "That would mean in effect the trl-borough route, would it not? And such a subway system is what Brooklyn needs," was Mr. Baldwin's significant reply. The Public Service Commission let it be known to-day that If the traction companies entertained any Idea that they could use the Travis-Robinson bill to exact unreasonable terms from the commission, they would find they were sadly mistaken. The bill, it was pointed out, was filled with efficient checks, inserted for the purpose of preventing too great latitude. "It is my opinion." said one of the commiBaloners this morning, "that private capital will now come forward.

The doors have been opened wide by the Travis-Robinson bill, and the news that the constitutional amendment will be passed after all will serve to hasten proceedings. "The constitutional amendment is of the greatest need properly to protect the interests of the city. While it will not become law until the people have indorsed it at the polls next fall, the railroad capitalists see precisely what Is before them, and for that reason thev. will, I think be reasonable In their requests. "Conditions have so shaped themselves, I believe, that this city will now get the transit relief of which It Is In such im-peratlve need," FIRE TRUCK BREAKS DOWN.

Six Members of Crew Hurt, One Perhaps Fatally $5 Damage by Blaze. While responding to an alarm at tho corner of Third avenue and Baltic street, to-day, the hind wheel of Truck No. GO flew off at the corner of Bond and Baltic streets and six members of the crew-were thrown out. All escaped with slig.it injuries except Fireman Frank B. Maher of 614 Fifty-seventh street, whose legs were both crushed.

The alarm came in at 9 o'clock and as Driver Montelon swung into Bond street he saw the red glare ahead and let his horses out at full speed. The heavy truck had Just headed up the street when the nut of the rear wheel came off and the wheel bowled Into the gtr.ter. Fire man Maher, who was on the running board at the time, was thrown and dragged several feet. The other members of the crew hung on and yelled to the driver to stop, and he had already piled breaks when the truck dashed Into an electric light pole. Montelon was thrown over the heads of his horses and Lieutenant Peter Farley, Steersman Christian Rolf, and Fire men Linen and uanagner were aiso tossed onto tl.e pavement.

All escaped with A hurried call for ambulances brought Dr. McBlrney from the Brooklyn Hospital, and he was at work when the ambulance from the Long Island College Hospital Maher was taken to the Brooklyn Hospital, where It was found that he was suffering from a dislocated hip and internal Injuries, besides having both legs broken. At the hospital this morning it was said that the condition of Maher was probably fatal. The Are was in the rear yard of Mitchell's brewery, and was extinguished before the arrival of the department by members of the police force. The fire was In a barrel of tar and the damage amounted to about 15.

Henry Ludwlg and Henry Gassier had opinions of the guilt or Innocence of the defendant which evidence could not change. They were let off. Talesman Who Regretted His Scruples, William Bahke, a painter of Ozone Park, was also satisfactory to the defense, but Mr.

DeWitt challenged him. Attaches of tho district attorney's office told a good story to-day about a German talesman who swore that he had scruples against the death penalty, but later said: "They get me not. I stick me to my scruples. was no fool to pay $10 a day to stay by dot exbenslve hotel. My good woman, she says when I get home.

'Henry, you keep them scruples, and by Jlminy I hnf them, too." The German was a very surprised mau when he learned that it is the county that pays the jurors board bill.

A.J. NUTTING Inc Clothiers for the Whole Family, Fulton and Smith Sts. HORSE THIEF IS TO GO EAST Connecticut Law for Brooklyn Crook More Severe.

Place Where He Shot at a Policeman Was Just Over Nutmeg State Border. While Plains, X. April, IT It was learned to-day at the sheriff's office that the Connecticut authorities will seek to extradite the horse thief who shot Policeman Ball of Rye while attempting to escape with the stolen rig of Tax Collector Wm. H. Wesscls of East Port Chester.

This will be done because it has been discovered that the point on upper King street where the shooting occurred is in the state of Connecticut. If the Westchester authorities should prosecute the horse thief they could only convict him of having brought stolen property Into the state. It will go much harder with him in Connecticut where he will be punished for both the theft and the attempt to kill the officer. The horse thief has been identified as Barney Barrall. He lives at 51 Grand street, Brooklyn.

According to the police records, he has served two terms In Sing Sing prison for grand larceny. He admits that, he stole the horse and pays that ho intended to go into the Junk business. Barrall had a clever way of finding out where he might lay his hands on good horses. He sold a disinfecting powder for horses ana used this as a subterfuge to visit many stables. POLICEMEN MADE SICK.

Complain of a Cesspool on Grounds of Sheepshead Bay-Station. The record books In the Sheepshead Bay police station are carrying a number of men on sick leave, and It is claimed the cause of the men's Illness is a oesspool on the premises which is continually overflowing. That state of affairs has been allowed to continue for weeks, and policemen are "going sick" all the time. Every man attached to the police precinct would like to air his views as to the cesspool, but they also desire to hold on to their jobs, and have decided to keep out of all trouble and not speak above a whisper. The Sheepshead Bay police station occupies a fine site at East Sixteenth street and Avenue and Is considered one of the finest police houses in the greater city.

It stands on high ground at least four feet above the sidewalk on either thoroughfare. The building fronts on the avenue, and a fine lawn stretches from the building to the edge of the sidewalk. Yesterday afternoon the refuse from the cesspool waa oozing through the green grass and flowing down on the sidewalk. The police who were returning from the morning tour that is, shortly after 2 o'clock raised their hands to their noses as they passed up the steps leading to the station house. The men going and coming at every tour go through similar movements before they ascend the steps.

Across the street from the station house are several fine residences, and when the wind blows from the northwest the obnoxious odor from the cesspool is wafted across the avenue. It makes no difference from what direction the winds blow, so far as the police are concerned: they gat the full benefit at all times. The Department of Health has been notified, the police say, but the cesspool is still oozing. 10 YEARS FOB, MANSLAUGHTER. Supreme Court Justice Kelly this morning sent John Selllna.

He (Ives as follows the first grapblo story of these days of mas sacre, rapine and incendiarism. "The entire vilayet ot Adana has been visited during tbe past five days by a ter rible massacre of Armenians, the worst ever known In the history of the district. Tbe terror has been universal, and the government Is powerless to check the dis orders. Adana, tbe capital ot the province, has been the storm center. "Early last Wednesday morning, while I was in the market, I noticed that the Armenians were closing their shops and hurrying to their homes.

An Armenian and a Turk had been killed during tbe night, and the corpses were paraded through their respective quarters. The sight of the dead Inflamed tbe inhabitants, and crowds at once began to gather In tbe streets armed with sticks, axes and knives. A few joung Armenians assembled In the center of the covered market and began firing revolver shots into the air. ily 11 o'clock in the morning the crowd had begun the looting of shops. The military commander ot Adana was by my side in the market when the firing commenced.

He ha not the courage to endeavor to disperse the mob; he returned to his residence and did not venture out for two days. William Chambers, neia secretary oi tbe Young Men's Christian Association, and myself proceeded to the Konak, aud found a howling mob demanding arms with which to kill the Giaours. We then went to the telegraph office, to summon the British consul. On the; steps of the building we saw three Americans who had been massacred. Their noaies naa Been mutilated.

While we were it. the telegraph office a tnob burst Inta the where we were and killed: two Armenians before our eyes. The unfortunates were supplloating the protection of the Vail when they were struck down. We managed to ma so our way into tne next room, where we made representations to the Vail. This official said he could do nothing.

He was afraid of hl3 own life, and made no attempt to protect us. Somehow we managed to get to the interior ot tbe Kopak, where we remained at tbe side of the government officials for tbe next forty-eight hours. "That afternoon the situation grew distinctly worse. Tho Armenians withdrew to their quarter of Adapa, which Is situated on a hill, and converted their houses that held advantageous positions Into fortresses. Here the fighting went on for-two days, during which the Armenians succeeded In beating off their Turkish assailants.

"Wednesday evening Major Laughty-Wylle, the British vice consul at Mer-cina. arrivod at Adana, and established headquarters in the house of a Dragoman of a wealthy Greek resident, where many refugees had been received. The wife of the British vice consul, who was brought into Adana under fire on Thursday, tended personally to the wounded women and children. "Adana was a hell. The bazars were looted and set on fire.

There was continuous and unceasing shooting and killing In every part of the town, and fires raged in many quarters. "Moslems from the neighborhood began pouring Into the city, and notwithstanding our vehement protests, the vail distributed arms to these men, alleging that they were Turkish reserves. "Major Daughty Wylle. at the head of troops, which he compelled the vail to Bupply, went to the railroad end of the town and was successful In preventing the villagers from coming Into Adana. Later, while the major was attempting to pacify the town, he was.

shot and disabled. "Missionaries of the Central Turkey Mission had assembled for a district conference In the center of Adana on tho day of tbe outbreak. They received and protected hundreds of refugees In the American Seminary for Girls, and courageously endeavored to pacify the warring elements. "On Thursday Daniel Miner Rogers and Henry Maurer. American missionaries, were killed under treacherous circumstances.

"On Friday the Armenians yielded, since when there has been little murdering. "Adana Is In a pitiable condition. The town has been pillaged and destroyed, and there are thousands of homeless people here without means of livelihood. It Is Impossible to estimate the number of killed. The corpses lie scattered through the streets.

Friday, when' I went out, I had to olck out my way between the dead to avoid stepping on them. Saturday morning I counted a dozen cartloads ot Armenian bodies In one-half hour being carried to the river and thrown into the water. In tha Turkish cemeteries grave3 are being dug wholesale." W.
