David Daggett, a rather youthful chauffeur, of 233 West Thirty-seventh streetfl Manhattan, was somewhat scornful to a policeman to-day, and as a result of what followed, ho was fined $30 with the alternative of spending thirty days on Blackwella Island, by Magistrate O'Connor in the Yorkvllle Court. Daggett was going up Fifth avenue with the large touring car of his employer, C.

Richardson of 35 East Thirtieth street. A large volume of smoke was pouring out of the automobile when It was seen by Patrolman John Bullman of the Health Squad, who Is stationed at Fifty-second street and Fifth avenue to watch that particular sort of thing. Bullman hailed Daggett, who stopped bis car. "Well?" Inquired Daggett. "Tour auto is smoking," replied Bull-man.

"Walt, I will give yo ua summons to appear in court." Daggett replied angrily, putting on full speed, according to Bullman. Bullman blew his whistle. Mounted Patrolman George J. Frisch.of Traffic at Fifty-third street and Fifth avenue, heard It, and put his hand up to Daggett to stop. But Daggett only laughed and speeded up Fifth avenue at the rate of thirty miles an heur.

Frlsch's horse lost a shoe and he dismounted a-Fifty-fourth street and Impressed a passing automobile, continuing the chase. At Fifty-sixth street Daggett turned west and kept up a lively speed until Broadway was reached, when he wai overtaken by Frlsch. In the Yorkvllle court Daggett was arraigned on wo charges speeding thirty miles an hour and allowing his automobile to smoke. Daggett said he did not know he was going so fast as charged. Magistrate O'Connor said that in that event the policeman's word was uncontradicted, and fined him $25 for speeding and $5 for the lesser offense.

The chauffeur was taken to a cell. He telephoned his employer to come to his Bid. and unless his fine Is paid, he will spend the next month in Jail. ACTRESS GETS ALIMONY. But It Is Nowhere Near $100 a Week, Which She Demanded.

Justice Cohalan of the Supreme Court, in Manhattan, has granted Flora K. Edwards $15 per week alimony and a counsel tee of 100 pending the trial of her suit for a separation against Thomas J. Edwards. She asked for an allowance of $100 per week and a counsel fee of $1,000. In denying her application for the large amount the justice says that the couple were married in Massachusetts and that there are no children.

"The plaintiff," says the court, "claims to be without means and alleges that the defendant is a ventriloquest at a salary of per week, and with personad property valued at Defendant admits the receipt of $25 per week 'exclusive of transportation and other expenses." There is no explanation given of 'ther expenses' or to what sum they amount. He further asserts that the plaintiff owns property In England, and is an actress capable of earning a good Income," OF HIS OLD SHIPMATE Former Mrs. Ellis Is Now the Wife of John Leonard Sweeny. A ROMANCE OF THE 'SEAS. History of Friendship aad Lova Is Mingled With Exploits of XT.

S. Navy. The friendship which began on the decks of one of Uncle Sam'a men o' war yeara ago, growing into an attachment which bound John Leonard Sweeny and George Ellis together so that the two were Inseparable, seems happily rounded out now that Sweeny haa married tha widow of who waa the first man killed on the American side during the Spanish-American War. Tha wedding occurred three months ago but the news la only now becoming generally known. It wae a private affair for, as Mrs.

Sweeny explains, both she and her husband are averse to "newspaper noto riety." Mrs. Sweeny says there is no romance In it but tha facta apeak for themselves. Years ago the lure of the sea called John Leonard Sweeny from his home la Cleveland. He was only fourteen- years old when he enlisted aa an apprentice on one of the ships In the service and be didn't want his folks to know about it, bis friends explain, so he changed his name to George Harvey. As George Harvey he anr young Ellis, also an apprentice at that time but three years older, became acquainted.

The two were of opposite tempearament but they took to each other at once and never were shipmates closer chums. Shipmates Went Around the World Together, Ellis and Sweeny, or Harvey, as he was then known, went around the world together. Eventually Ellis brought Sweeny back to his home In Brooklyn and Introduced htm to his friends. Young Ellis was an orphan boy and bis aunt took care of him. A block away lived the Slmonsons, on Dean street.

Mrs. Slmonson was the mother of five charming daughters, and young Ellis attended the same school as they did. He introduced tho young sailor, Harvey, to the Slmonson glrla the time came when his chum formed a new attachment, this time for the pretty and fragile Grace Slmonson. And Ellis, found an attraction in the Slmonson home. He married Sadie, and through the new relationship the shipmates became oloser ehums than ever, if that were possible.

George Ellis had a son, and It was the most natural thing In the world for him to name It after his friend, George Harvey. The proud father told Harvey of the honor accorded him. Then It was that Harvey told hlra that bis real name was John Leonard Sweeny. Ellis left the navy at -the age of 21, when his term exptred, but his health was poor on land and his physician advised him to take to the sea again. He went back, accordingly, to his old calling as a sailor on the late President McKin-ley's yacht.

When the news that the Maine had blown up In Havana Harbor went around the world Ellis, like the rest, was fired with patriotic ardor. He sought a chance to. go to the front and got It. When his boy was six weeks old Ellis sailed for Admiral Schley's writer on the crulBer Brooklyn. The boy was only six month sold when a Spanish Shell ended the -life of the father.

Sweeney Took "Part in Battle ot Manila Bay. Before Ellis was killed off Santiago his old shipmate Sweeny was fighting for his country with Dewey. He saw and acted the part of a brave man at -the Battlo of Manila Bay. He was still Harvey to his associates and might have remained so had It not been for the action of a grateful country in awarding medals to Its heroes. "I know," said the admiral to bis men, "that many of you enlisted under assumed names.

I want you all to tell me your right and proper names so that your medals may be engraved as they should be." So the secret came out. When Ellis went off to the wars Mrs. Ellis went to work In the flag room of the Navy Yard, stitching In tha stripes on the flags which were flown by the ships of her country while somebody tlse sewed in the stars. One day body of her husband was brought back on the hospital ship Solace in a sealed casket. "I got the news very suddenly," said Mrs.

Sweeny to-day. "A woman came to me and said: 'Your husband Is lying down there In the dock, That was the way I received the news. They brought him home on a Saturday, but his body, lay three days on the dock before I was Informed of It. Then tt took the undertaker two more days to get It." A widow, Mrs. Ellis went bravely to work for herself and her son.

She served her country as her husband had doue making flags for thirteen years. In the meantime her sister, Mr. Sweeny's wife, died after the two had been four years married. Time, which heals all wounds, drew the widowed Mrs. Ellis and the widower, John Sweeny, closer together, and three months ago there was a quiet little ceremony at the Cumberland Street Presbyterian Church.

His little namesake has always gone by the name of George Harvey and under it, as a surname, he joined the Central Congregational Church, last Easter. He acted as best man at hie mother's wedding, signing all the requisite documents and producing the ring at exactly the right moment. 20 LIVES REPORTED LOST.

Tariff Enables Pacific Coast Concerns to Make Larger Profit Than Eastern Refineries. Washington, June 13 Effort to discover whether non-competitive tones had been established by the American Sugar Refining Company In an effort to control prices, marked the resumption of the "Sugar Trust" inquiry to-day. Edwin F. Atkins, acting head of the sugar corporation, who only became an official of the company two years ago, said he was unable to answer from personal knowledge many of the questions put to him. Mr.

Atkins declared, however, that the American Sugar Reflnlng Company owned practically a majority of etock in the sugar refineries in California, and that it did not attempt to compete with them. He gave as the reason for this abandonment of the coast business the freight from the Eastern refineries. This, he Insisted, was the principal reason for the failure of competition. Questioned by Representative Malby of New York, the witness said that 60 per cent, of the Western Sugar Reflnlng Company In California waa owned by the American Sugar Refining Company, while the Spreckels family owned the other 60 per cent. The American also owned, Mr.

Atkins said, 49 per cent. In the Alameda Sugar Reflnlng Company. What the purpose of the purchase of this stock was, Mr. At kins was unable to tell the committee. "Do you have any understanding that there shall be do competition?" asked Mr.

Malby. "So far as my knowledge goes tnere Is not the Mr. Malby sought light on the method of electing directors in the California companies, but Mr. Atkins was able to give him no satisfaction. "Is it a matter of indifference to the American Sugar Refining Company as to how the other companies conduct their business?" be queried.

Mr. Atkins replied that he was not informed on the subject. The sugar tariff, according to Mr. Atkins, enabled the Pacific Coast sugar re fineries to make a larger margin of profit than the Eastern refineries. Replying to Representative Raker of California, Mr.

Atkins said the price of sugar was the same ou the Pacific and the Atlantic coasts, but the Pacific manufacturers are able to sell as far East as Chicago, while the Eastern refineries cannot ship farther West than Kansas City and Omaha. "The reason is that the Pacific Coast has free raw sugar," said Mr. Atkios. "The refineries there get the Hawaiian and Philippine sugars without duty while we have to pay $1.34 duty on each one hundlred pounds of Cuban sugar." 'The sugar ought to be lower on tne Pacific coast?" asked Representative Raker. Yes." said Mr.

Atkins, who added that he knew nothing of the conduct of the far Western companies. He did not know Mr. Spreckles. he said, nor what interest the latter had lu various beet sugar com panies of the West 'I have not been able to get any in formation from any of the companies In which we are largely Interested," said Mr. Atkins.

"We are minority stock holders and they refuse to tell us anything about their business." CHARGE OF PERJURY VALID Oath May Be Administered By Assistant Deputy Clerk, Magistrate Holds. By a decision handed down this af ternoon by Chief Magistrate Otto Kemp-ner, an assistant to the Deputy City Clerk has legally constituted authority to administer an oath to applicants for marriage licenses, despite the provision of the Domestic Relations Law which specifies the affidavit must be taken by the Deputy City Clerk. Judge Kemp-ner Interprets the word deputy In the statute In Its etymological sense to lu-clude an assistant. The question was raised in the hearing of a charge "of perjury made against Simon Cohen of 333 Central Park West, Manhattan, by bis wife, from whom he seeks an annulment of the marriage, on the ground that he was a minor when wedded. Tho perjury charge is said to be made for spite reasons.

The complainant, Rose Cohen, of 212 East Seventieth street, Manhattan, was Rose Katz of Brooklyn on June 24, 1909, when she and young Cohen appeared before assistant Deputy City Clerk Thomas P. Maher, jr. That official took Cohen's affidavit that he waS 21 years and 2 months old. On January 6, 1910, a suit in Supreme Court to annul the marriage was Instituted by the husband's guardian, who made affidavit that young Cohen was not of age at the time of the getting of the license. The wife In her perjury charge says he was not 18 years old until August 27, 1910.

The Interesting legal question of the validity of the oath before Clerk Maher was raised at the hearing on May 31 last by the briefs submitted by Henry W. Unger of counsel for Abraham Nelson, the defendant. Counsel argued that no perjury was committed, the affidavit of age made by Cohen not having been legally sworn to. For the complainant, Walter Shaw Brewster, of counsel for Ellis L. Amdur, argued that the oath was valid.

Judge Kampner's decision, rendered to-day, upholds this contention. Cohen is now out on $500 ball for the grand Jury. REFEREE BILL IS KILLED. Donnelly Finds It Would Aid a Republican, and Kills It. (Special to The Eagle.) Albany, June 13 Having discovered that one of his bills, designed to gtve a good place to a Brooklyn Democrat, would only give a job to a Republican, Assemblyman Donnelly killed the bill today.

The bill provided for an official referee in Kings County, who wis to be a retired justice of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court. The bill limited the appointment to a judge who had served a full term of fourteen years on the bench. It was thought, at first, that this bill would provide for Justice Joslab T. Marean, a Democrat, who retires next year. A careful consideration of the situation, however, led the Democrats to discover that there was already an eligible ex-Justice who would have to be appointed If the bill became law.

It was found that former Justice William D. Dickey, a Republican, who retired two years ago, would have to be appointed as official referee. Now the Demo-rats are not trying to make places for Republicans, and they were in a fix. Finally, they decided to let the bill drop, and when it came up for passage to-day Assemblyman Donnelly moved it be re-committed to the Rules Committee. This cuds the course ot the little bill.

Board of Medical Survey To Be Appointed to Examine Naval Constructor. SAID TO BE NERVOUS WRECK. Prolonged Official Squabbles at Navy Yard Alleged to Be Cause of Baxter's Breakdown. Chief Surgeon Wentworth caused one of the most sensational surprises In the history of the Brooklyn Navy Yard late yesterday, when he officially requested Admiral Leutze to appoint a board of medical survey to examine Naval Con structor Baxter, who has been suffering from serious troubles ever sines he was detached from the local yard last month. According to many of the prominent naval officials at the yard, tha outcome of the examination will be tho placing Constructor Baxter on the retired list.

It was only yesterday that Surgeon Wentworth sent word to Surgeon General Stokes, at Washington, requesting him to send a nerve specialist here to examine Baxter. In answer, Surgeon General Stokes made a hurry trip to the local yard from Washington to-day and visit ed Surgeon Wentworth. The cause of his coming here was not learned, but the two made a secret visit to Construc tor Baxter's house, whore they had private with him. The board will be made up of the medical doctors of the yard and from other navul stations, and will In all prob ability examine Baxter within the next few days. Following their examination they will report to Admiral Leutze the result of their findings.

He will In turn notify the naval authorities In Washington, who will take flual action in the matter. From the gossip at the Navy Yard It appears that there has been considerable friction between the office of the coinmimdaiit of the yard and the construction offl-er. It Is sold thnt Admiral Leutze and Constructor Baxter havo disagreed on a number of occasions and that the constant strain of this situation finally affected the nerves of the latter. The constructors have not been In high favor with Secretary Meyer and it is known throughout the service that Admiral Leutze Is greatly esteemed by the head of the department. In the clashes between Leutze and Baxter the former was invariably sustained when appeals wore made to the head of the department.

It did not surprise those on the lnsldo a few weeks ago when news came of the detachment of Constructor Baxter. The prolonged squabble at the yard, together with the strain Incident to preparing the plans for tha battleships Florida, Connecticut and other vessels are given by Baxter's friends as the reason for his breakdown. He has been on sick leave ever since the announcement of his detachment. He was to have sailed for Europe next week, but his present condition will not permit him to sail before next month at the earliest. VASSAR COMMENCEMENT.

"A man who sincerely believes that the Bible is the Word of God, "believes -in tho' divinity and deity, atonement and resurrection and of Christ, and in etornal life through him, is evangelical enough for me, -and whether he bo Congregational Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian or what not, I will call him brother and work with him.

"Dr. Jowett, when I showed to him the paper 'which I presented to the Presbytery, greeted me heartily, and said be indorsed every word of it. He said he waa sorry he could not be at the meetin? of the Presbytery to second It, and speak; a word for It; but he sent a letter to the meeting." A counter paper was presented to tho Rev. Dr. John Fox, formerly pastor of tho Second Presbyterian Church of Brooklyn, now a secretary of the American Bible, Society, who contended for a definition In theological terms of what the Presbytery believed.

This was regarded aa impracticable and was voted down, although according to the rules of the Presbytery, It must have a place on the records, and there it will stand with the Wylie and the Jowett letters.

Thn contrary Is the fact. This loan was for the purpose of meeting the last of the bank's deferred payments and nothing more of its assets were pledged than was necessary to make reasonable security for the loan. "It Is untrue that It cost the X'nlon Bank $101,000 to secure this loan, and as for any claim that counsel for the bank has, thtre Is a way to adjudicate taht which will be taken. "I presume that the reason why Clark Williams, the former superintendent of banks, came to the conclusion that the banks could be reopened successfully was Che same as the reason upon which 1 relied, thnt Is, that the examiners of the department reported assets over and above linbllltles of $1,750,000 upon which repurt the Supreme Court passed, anil upon which It also relied. "It Is easy for some, with the wisdom Of hindsight, to say that reopening was a mistake, but it did not seem so to any one of the depositors or stockholders three years ago.

Nobody then foresaw the long continued business depression Which has ensued, nor specially the great depression in Brooklyn rpal estate, nor the closing of the Lafayette Trust Company within four months after the Union Bank was reopened, which greatly shook public vonftdence In all reopened banks. "I know of no depositors who ma'le large withdrawals of money after the bank was opened. All that Is truthfully to be said In this respect is that the depositors in the New York branches were paid off as the different percentages accrued under the deferred payment agreement. This was a matter of general knowledge. Other than this there were no unusual withdrawals by any depositors at nfty time in my knowledge.

"It Is also untrue thnt if the loan had not been obtained from the Met jopolltan Trust. Company the depositors would have already received SO per cent dividends. The making of that loan has not prevented the sale of any of the bank real estate, but it Is the condition of the real estate market that has done so. It Is also untrue that the bank has 23.000 depositors; thero are not half bo many." NO UNION BANK PROBE YET Speaker Frisbie Holds Up Cold-stein Resolution Awaiting Van Tuyl's Order. (Special to The Albany, June 13 What legislators who are familiar with tho rules of the Assembly consider a most unusual state of affairs exists with regard to the Goldateia resolution for the investigation of the affairs of the Union Bank of Brooklyn: The resolution Is being held up by Speaker Frisbie, with the consent of the Committee of Rules, while the Speaker awaits word from Superintendent of Banks Van Tuyl.

The Rules Committee formally voted to report Mr. Goldstein's investigation reso-lution last Thursday, and he was so in formed by Majority Leader Smith, and by other members of the Rules Committee. But he has looked In vain every day 'since for the appearance of the resolution 'on the list of measures to come up for a vote. "I find that tt is reported out," said Assemblyman Goldstein to-day, "and yet It Isn't out. I was promised that the measure would be reported out last week, and I was told at a meeting ol the Rules I Committee it had been voted out.

But I find that Speaker Frisbio has the resolution in his keeping, and evidently means to place it on the calendar or not, at his discretion. I understand that he is to consult with Superintendent of Banks Van Tuyl before coming to a decision. strikes me as rather strange, for one of the appointive officers under Governor Dix to hold up the business of tho Assembly on a matter of such importance to the people of Brooklyn." Speaker Frisbio confirmed Mr. Goldstein's remarks. He admitted that the Rules Committee had voted to report the resolution, but had given him the right 'to decide about It finally, alter a talk to he had with Superintendent Van Tuyl.

"It was agreed." he said, "that if the Superintendent of Banks has the power Jo make a thorough investigation of the Bank, he should be allowed to make lit. Thus any credit for what Is to be done would go to the present administration, to Governor Dix and to his banking superintendent. 1 have not yet heard from Mr. Van Tuyl, and I have nut handed down the resolution." Assemblyman Goldstein says that this most unusual proceeding was taken merely to keep him fa line with the organization. He made such a protest against the delay of the Rules Committee in reporting out the resolution that the leader came to realize that unless some attention was given to Union Bank matters they would lose his vote and that of others on the floor for organization measures.

Therefore the resolution was reported out, but it Is Just at effectually smothered as though it had never been Introduced. The name of James C. Cropsey of Brooklyn, recently police commissioner, is being considered by Governor Dix for designation in connection with whatever Investigation is to be made to represent the interests of the 23,000 depositors.
