LAWYERS TITLE INSURANCE AND TRUST COMPANY CAPITAL $4,000,000 SURPLUS 5,500,000 160 Broadway, New York. 188 Montague Street, Brooklyn, 1354 Broadway, Brooklyn. 375 Fulton Street, Jamaica. 'USES VOORHIES' LETTER TO SELL MAIL BOXES Agent Incloses Official Post Office Notice With Advertising Circulars.

POSTMASTER TO INVESTIGATE. Boxes Are Recommended Over His Rubber-Stamp Signature, and He Is Mystified. E. W. Voorhies began investigation, to-day to determine through an what medium several hundred official notices, rubber stamped with his name, to the effect that it would be a favor to the Post Office Department if householders would put up mail boxes for convenience of carriers came to get into the hands of an agent who is selling mail boxes of the character designated in the notices.

The agent is sending the official notices broadcast along with circulars advertising the particular sort of mail box he has to sell, and the effect upon the recipient of official notice and circular is the inference that the postmaster is personally recommending that kind of mail box. Mr. Voorhies resents the implication of the combined circular and official notice that he is in any way interested in the scheme to sell mail boxes. "I will start an investigation at once," said Mr. Voorhies.

Several thousand of these notices were sent out about two months ago. "I will begin an inquiry at once to determine if any employe of vile Post Office has been furnishing copies of these official notices to the concern selling the mail box." the Post a Office Department, name unAs a matter of fact, some employe of known, has been furnishing the agent with the official notice to inclose along with his circular advertising the mail box. J. M. Goss, the agent, at 44 Court street, admitted that fact to-day.

"I have a friend in the Post Office Department," he said, "who gave me between three and five hundred of the notices. I have been inclosing them along with advertisements of these boxes which I have to sell. I did not know that there was any official objection to this procedure." Mr. Goss was asked for the name of his friend in the Post Office who furnished him with the official notices, but he refused to give it. "I saw an advertisement in a he said, "of private mail boves.

It was inserted by the City Gem Mail Box Company of Kenosha, Wisconsin. I OTdered ten dozen of the boxes. They arrived two weeks ago. I bought them out right. I got my friend in the Post Office to give me some of the official notices.

Out of the ten dozen boxes I sold only about a dozen all told. I have about nine dozen boxes still on hand. I do not know who is connected with the company-I only know it by the advertisement from which I ordered the boxes. I wouldn't know Postmaster Voorhies if I saw him step into the door now. I had no idea that the department-favored mail boxes would get my friend into any trouble." The official notice, signed by Mr.

Voorhies with a rubber stamp signature, says: UNITED STATES POST OFFICE. By direction of the Post Office Department, the attention of patrons of this office is invited to the advantages of providing facilities for the receipt of their mail by erecting conveniently accessible boxes or cutting suitable slots in their doors. Such action would enable the postmaster to give a prompter and better delivery servIce with the means at his disposal, since the carriers can cover much more territory in less time if not compelled to wait for an answer to their ring. Private reseptacles for mail are also a great convenlence to the householder, obviating the necessity of responding to the carrier's call at inconvenient moments and permitting the safe delivery of mail in the absence of members. of the household.

They also prevent the occasional necessity of a carrier's proceeding on his route without delivering mail because of failure to answer his ring within a reasonable time, and enable him to make deliveries to patrons living on or near the end of the route at an earlier hour. It has been shown by actual experience that the benefits derived by patrons of city delivery from the use of such receptacles far outweigh the small expense involved. As this office is interested in furnishing the best possible service at the least expense, your compliance with the foregoing suggestions will be much appreciated. Respectfully, E. W.

VOORHIES, Postmaster. Note--Neither the postmaster nor any of his subordinates is authtrized to act as agent for boxes. VAN VLECKS ARE BEATEN. Father and Son Lose to Travers and Kirkby. (Special to The Eagle.) Englewood, N.

AT EAGLE PARIS BUREAU. Eagle Bureau, NO 'CRIME WAVE' HERE, SAYS THE GRAND JURY None Exists Now, Nor Has Any Existed for the Past Six Months. AS JUDGE FAWCETT EXPECTED, He Says There Is Less Crime Here Than in Any Community of Its Size. The May Grand Jury, just before it was discharged by County Judge Fawcett this morning, handed in a brief presentment stating that its investigation, ducted throughout the month, had failed to substantiate the statement that a "crime wave" now exists in Brooklyn, in that the serious offenses, such as holdups, burglaries, assaults and larcenies are any more frequent now, or in the past six months, than before. There are indications that the excise laws are being violated, the Grand Jury says, but, in alone, the presentment adds, is the Police Department not doing its full duty.

The presentment, handed up by Foreman Frank Ehlers, was read with considerable interest by the judge. "In your honor's charge to this Grand Jury," the presentment reads, "we were directed, in addition to our regular duties, to investigate the alleged increase of crime in this city and to probe, 1f necessary, the acts of any official that may be called to our attention. "So far as this body has been able to learn, it has failed to substantiate the statement that a 'crime wave' now exists or has existed during the past six months in this county, that is, as referring to more serious offenses, such as burglary, larceny, assaults, etc. On the contrary, witnesses from the Police Department have given figures showing fewer arrests than formerly for these crimes, and other witnesses before us confirm this finding. "Numerous witnesses before this body, whose testimony was freely given, show that alleged violations of the excise law have been many, and from all information we have obtained it is our opinion that these alleged violations are far more than should be should the Police Department, who are vested with the law's enforcement, perform their full duty.

It is also our opinion that this department is well organized, is well able to cope with all forms of lawbreaking, and is a menace to crime-doers. "While expressing these opinions we do not underrate the difficulty arising from the fact of the so-called Raines law being upon the statute book, and which we consider one that should be greatly amended if not entirely repealed." This was what Judge Faweett anticipated would be the Grand Jury's findings, he told that body when formally discharging it. He had felt in duty bound to call to their attention the result of the mass meeting held in April, at which public statements had been made, but the record of the criminal court in Kings County, as well as the records of Police Department, indicated that Brooklyn was freer from crime than any community of its size in the United States. There are comparatively few out-of-town criminals in Brooklyn plying their trade, he said, nearly 48 per cent. of the arraignments being of youths, 21 and under, who are town born.

WINS HONOR CROSS. Harry Cobb First Choir Boy to Wear Mrs. Whitney's Gift. (Special to The Eagle.) choler guild Cove, service L. of St.

June Paul's 2-The Episcopal annual Church will be held on Sunday evening, June 4. The choir has prepared an especially attractive programme of music for Whitsunday. On Christmas Day, 1902, the late Mrs. Anna Somarindyck gave to each member of St. Paul's choir a choir guild pin.

Since then there have been many changes and most of the present choir are without these badges of membership, and in order to purchase additional badges the offering at the choir guild service will be used for this purpose. A feature of Sunday evening's service will be the wearing of the "honor cross" by the first boy member of the choir to attain this coveted trophy. The honor cross ha's just been made a gift to the church by Mrs. Howard F. Whitney, daughter of the late J.

Maxwell, in memory of Robert Thallon, under whom Mrs. Whitney studied music. The cross is to be worn for one month by the choir boy whose attendance, behavior and endeavor during the month previous averages the highest. Harry Cobb is the boy who has earned the right to wear the honor cross for June, the month of its inaugural. The cross is one and a half inches long, of heavy gold.

The design combines the Greek, St. Andrew's and St. George's crosses, and the cross is to be worn over the surplice, on a scarlet ribbon. HELD ON TRESPASS CHARGE. Court of Special Sessions to Deal With Rockaway Point Squatters.

Kahler Followed Him to New Jersey, Where He Lived With Another. LITTLE DOG HER COMPANION. Woman Weeps 1 in Scantily Furnished Home, and Reiterates Hopeless Love. A plain-featured little German woman sat on the front steps of a modest cottage at 51 Ashford street to-day, with al far-away look in her eyes and the general expression of one who has seen deep trouble. Unheeded, a little fox terrier nuzzled her hand and rubbed against her as if he understood.

The woman' was Mrs. Amelia Mildred Kahler, whose husband, William, a traveling salesman, had been arrested with Mrs. Hilda Bachman, wife of Alexander Bachman of 524 West One Hundred and Twenty-third street, Manhattan, at 330 Livingston avenue, Lyndhurst, N. where Kabler and the woman had made their home.

"In that house across the way (she referred to a spacious house, surrounded by extensive grounds) lives my husband's brother. Ask him for me if he will cousent to bring my husband back home again.

If he will I shall not breathe a word of this awful scandal. If he doesn't want to do it, you come back and I will 311 you all--all." The reporter did as requested. He went to 40 Ashford street, where Kahler's brother, Louis, who is vice president of the concern for which William works, has his home. He was told that Mr. Kahler was not at home and that 1.

would be useless to attempt to see him. When that word was carried back to Mrs. Kahler she consented to talk. The woman, the terrier, and the reporter went to the second floor where Mrs. Kahler lives, and which boasted no other furniture than a cot, a trunk, and a chair.

The reporter sat on a chair while the woman talked, sitting on the cot, hugging close a photograph of the man who had left her for another. She looked at it several times as she told her story, and on each occasion burst into tears afresh, which was the signal for the dog to display its grief. "I came near killing that she said, suddenly, and with an intenseness that was startling. "I was going to kill her when I found her in that house with my husband," and she clenched her hands convulsively. tried to coax him back, btu he wouldn't come.

Tell me, sir, do you think there is any way I can get him back? I told him that if he would come back I would forget it all--that this scandal would not go one step further. "Why. if he 'will come the tears will have my picture taken and put in the paper and Tip's 50 that he may see how we look. I wouldn't take any action against him." It was Mrs. Kahler who located her husband and Mrs.

Bachmann in New Jersoy. She told Bachmann a warrant was issued by a New Jersey justice, and Kahler and the woman were haled before him and released under $200 bail each. Mrs. Kahler said her husband met the woman in 1907. One night he failed to return to his home, and she went in search of him.

Deputy Fire Commissioner Can Get Place as First Deputy if He Wants It. The appointment of a deputy police commissioner to take charge of Brooklyn and Queens will be announced on Monday. Mayor Gaynor indicated to-day that Deputy Fire Commissioner Arthur J. O'Keeffe could have the appointment of first deputy to the Police a Commissioner Waldo for the asking. But at the same time the Mayor made it clear that no efforts would be made to persuade Mr.

0'Keeffe to take the place if he desired to remain in the Fire Department. A report from police headquarters late this afternoon had it that in the event of Mr. O'Keeffe's refusal to enter the Police Department, Third Deputy Police Commissioner John J. Walsn would be sent to take charge of Brooklyn and Queens. To All his place as trial commissioner it is understood that Commissioner Waldo will select a Manhattan lawyer.

Apparently Commissioner Waldo is aware that Mr. O'Keeffe has no inclination to tackle the police situation. It is understood that Mr. O' Keeffe would consent to the transfer if the Mayor believed it would be to the benefit of his administration. But the Mayor, it appears, will leave the question to Mr.

O'Keeffe to decide for himself. Commissioner Waldo discussed the Brooklyn situation with the Mayor yesterday. Bearing in mind the declination of Mr. O'Keeffe to enter the Police Department, it is understood that Commissioner Waldo submitted the name of a prominent Brooklyn man whom he believed would be competent to take charge of the police affairs in Brooklyn and Queens. The Mayor this a afternoon could not recall the name of the man whom Commissioner Wa'do suggested for the appointment.

If O'Keeffe Declines, McKay Will Be First Deputy. The understanding is that if Mr. 0'Keeffe aves not take the arpentment the Department, t.ie ntin who will be piaced in charac of Be and Queens will not rank as the first deputy. Fourth puty Commissioner McKay will ho given the rank of fret Copts and the Bros miyn man will be given McKay's rank in the department. The Mayor was reluc'ant to day to discuss the affairs of the Police and Fire It ed.

in: wever that Joseph J. O'Reilly the editor of a weekly paper devoted to civil service and Fire Department affairs is an active candidate to succeed Fire Commissioner Johnson aS his deputy in Manhattan. O'Reilly has been in conference with the Mayor, but it is definitely known that he received no promise that he would get the place. In Tammany circles the prediction is mad that the vacant Deputy Fire Commissionership will be given to some district leader recommended by Charles F. Murphy.

The statement is made to- day that if Leader Murphy had followed his personal inclinations rather than those of the leader of a political organization. Mr. 0'Keeffe would have received the place to which Mr. Johnson was appointed yesterday. The Mayor denied indirectly that former Deputy Fire Commissioner Charles Wise was being considered for a place in his administration.

The suggestion was, made that if Mr. 0'Keeffe went to the Police Department, Mr. Wise would probably be his successor in the Fire Department -in Brooklyn. The Mayor remarked that it was the first time the suggestion had been made to him. WILL KEEP UP FIGHT.

Dix's Veto of 5-Cent Fare Bill Will Not Stop Crusade.

The speakers included James P. Sinnott, Senator James H. O'Brien, Assistant Corporation Counsel E. Lindsey Bourke and Municipal Court Justice Edward A. Richards.

It was decided to confer with other East New York organizations for an immediate resumption of the crusade. HILTON, GOLF CHAMPION. Wins British Amateur Title for the Third Time. Prestwick, Scotland, June 2--H. IT.

Hi1ton of the Royal Liverpool Golf Club today won the British Amateur golf championship for the third time, defeating E. A. Lassen of the Lytham Golf Club by four up and three to play. The players were all square at the end of the first round. Lassen took the lead in the second round, but Hilton made up for this leeway and was one up at the ninth hole.

From then he pulled right away from. his opponent and won the match easily. Ponies Needed a Rest After Hard Riding in Yesterday's Strenuous Game. AMERICANS ARE JUBILANT. Englishmen, as Usual, Are Non-Committal-Reduced Odds Likely for Monday's Match.

Players and ponies who rode and ran in the first match for the international polo cup at Meadowbrook yesterday are enjoying to-day the rest that they sO richly earned by their exertions. The Americans spent the day congratulating themselves upon their narrow escape, while the English officers who a surprised the experts by their grand hitting and clever passing retired into their noncommittal shell. It was a relief to all hands when the officials agreed yesterday to play the ond match on Monday rather than Satur.day. Ponies needed the rest more than the players and the little nags that ran so gamely and well yesterday were given a good measure of oats -day and a roll in the soft turf. Experts agreed to-day that the odds.

on the result yesterday were far off the line, and instead of 6 to 1 the chances were very nearly even. Speedier horseflesh won the first match in the opinion of those close followers of the game, and chey also said that American dollars cleaned the English stables and left few good nags for the challengers. However, this was regarded as one of the fortunes of the polo war. The Meadowbrook field was a busy scene this morning, workmen being engaged in putting the turf in condition again for possible practice this evening and morrow. The stands were being overhauled and everything put in shipshape order.

It is believed that the attendance on Monday will exceed that of yesterday, owing to the splendid playing of the Englishmen. (A complete report of yesterday's match will be found on the Sporting Page and graphic pletures of the plax, are given the Picture Section.)
