WILEY ASSAILANT BLOCK TAMMANY PLAN Senator From Eastern District Fathers Important Measures. (Special to The Eagle.) Albany, June 22 A high record in passing bills was scored by Senator Loring M. Black, of the Eastern District, to-day. Six of the bills which he Introduced passed in the Senate. Three of the measures were suggested by Magistrate Edward J.

Dooley, In charge of the Domestic Relations Court in Brooklyn. One of these acts glveB the magistrates the power to Issue warrants on Sunday in order that they may be served on delinquent husbands who cannot be reached on other days.

Cramer of Port Washington, Frederick Bowley, who claims that his real name is Brokaw, and that he Is a connection of that well-known family, was sentenced to ninety days in the Nassau County Jail by Justice Weeks this morning. Bowley, who is a dapper young fellow and well dressed, approached Cramer at his Port Washington home on Monday evening and asked the loan of $17.76, Baying he needed the money to pay his fare to Quebec, where he was to meet his father.

He exnlained his lack of funds by saying that he had been out on a good time. Bowley tola Mr. Cramer, who Ib the New York representative of the Train-Smith Company of Boston, that his father was a personal friend of a member of that firm. He told such a Btralght story that Cramer handed him the money, later learning that he had been flimflammed. A warrant was secured from Justice Weeks and Bowley was arrested by the Manhattan police on Tuesday and turned over to the local authorities.

The suicide was about 30 years old, 5 feet 8 inches In height, and weighed about 160 pounds. The body was dressed in a blue serge coat and dark striped trousers. In the man's pockets were found $3.12 and a gold watch and chain, and an envelope containing some blank post cards. The envelope was saturated with blood, but had been written over.

Hooper" If He Is Caught. LIBEL SUIT IS THREATENED. Representative of Alleged Advertisers Protective Association Attacks Pure Food Report. Eagle Bureau, 008 Fourteenth Street. Washington, D.

June 22 Post Office authorities have been engaged for several weeks In an attempt to locate the people who are engaged In a new attack on Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, the government's pure food expert. The attack is being made in the name ot an alleged organization called the Advertiser! Protective Association. The Post Office is satisfied that there is In reality no such organization, and that the name of Frederick W.

Hooper, which Is signed to circulars sent out, is a flo titlous one. The attacks oh Wiley have all been made through printed matter mailed at the Manhattan Post Offloe. The only address of the association is Look Box 2124 at that offloe. A great deal of mall has been received there, but all ot It has been returned to the senders when they could be located marked "Fictitious." The man who calls himself Hooper will be arrested if the Post Office Inspectors ean suoceed In mak Ing a complete identification. They ta- Here that they know who he is and think he Is a man who has been identified with previous attaoks on Wiley, The olrculars sent out by him are signed with bis name reproduced In fao-simlle.

Hand-writing experts who have examined It Bay that It Is identical with letters known to have been written by the man under suspicion, More Stringent Provisions for Patent medicines, Assailants of the Pure Food law and of Dr. Wiley need expect no encouragement from the government, for President Taft has Just sent a message to Congress urging the enactment of more stringent provisions regarding the labeling of patent medicines. A bill is already In the House providing for that very thing. Three circulars have been sent out by the "Advertisers Protective Association. The first was dated May 25.

and was ad dressed "To the Press." It was printed In good style, two colors of ink being used, and it bitterly assailed ut. wuey. He considers this ciroular to be libelous, Inasmuch as it plainly insinuates that he had Improper motives In making a campaign againBt oertaln drug and food preparations. The circular declares that the "association" represents organizations that have a total capital stock of 1400,000, and they spend annually $100,000 in advertising their preparations. Not a single name ot any man or company exaept that of Hooper Is given, however, and there is no address exoept that of the Post Office box.

Thia circular was followed a lew aays later by a brief printed letter which was sent broadcast to drug concerns, manu facture of prepared foods ana aeaiers in such articles. With it was lnolosea the original circular, and all manufac-d doalers were urged to write to the publications In which they adver tise and put pressure on mem juu in the crusade against Wiley. On June 7 oame another circular, au- dressed to the newspapers, This one did acouse Wiley of Improper motives, but made Its attack on the theory that wa, a HnnffsroiiH fanatlo. It is esti mated that up to date the baokers of this systematio attack have spent about 000 on printing ana postage. Dr.

Wiley Says Attaok Is a Boom- erang. rir wnv said to-dayi "There is, ot course, no such organization as the Advertisers Protective Association. We believe that we know who Hooper la. He is undoubtedly backed by money furnished by the people whose business Is Interfered with by the proper enforcement of the Pure Food and Drug act, but no man or company dareB to allow his name to be associated with him. The first circular issued against me furnishes ground for criminal prosecution.

I want to say, however, mai uiu nuam done more to help the cause in wnicn we are engaged than any one thing up to the present time. Letters which I received, and newspaper comments which have been made upon show that it is universally resented, ana is naving exactly the opposite effect that its promoters Intended." It is not believed that any ot tne liquor distilling companies are concerned In the movement, because under the present regulations concerning whisky they have no complaint. But certain drug interests and food concerns whose product does not measure up to the standards required by the law are believed to be quietly furnishing the money.

(Belfast papers please copy.) Refuse to Stand for Jamming Through the Building Code. KENNEALLY'S NEW SCHEME Proposes Amendments to Code, but Brooklyn Men Want to See Them. The Tammany Interests are strongly considering the advisability of abandoning the plan to Jam the proposed building codo through the Board of Aldermen. In the first place it Is doubtful If the necessary 40 votes could be secured, and In the second place the strong opposition of the cinder concrete Interests and the doubtful attitude of the Mayor is given as another reason. Chairman Kenneally, after a conference, however, has developed a new plan to revise the present code with a series of new amendments, to be presented one at a time, by which he hopes to overcome the opposition in the board and at the same time obtain the approval of the Mayor.

This plan will be presented to the building committee of the Board of Aldermen at a special meeting, which has been called for to-morrow. The indications, however, are that the majority members of the committee will refuse to consent to this latest Tammany plan, which is nothing more or less than a bold subterfuge to get Into the present building code all the objectionable features of the proposed code and at the same time hoodwink the Mayor. Kenneally has been asked by his associates on the committee to furnish them with a copy of the proposed amendments, but he has met this request with the reply that he could not afford to pay for the printing of the amendments out of his own pocket. Brooklyn Aldermen Hold TJp Tammany Flan. Five Brooklyn aldermen, Messrs.

Cunningham, Carberry, Campbell, Grimm and Gaynor, and Alderman Fluk of Richmond, have proved the stumbling block to Tammany's plan to Jam the building code through the board. They constitute a majority of the building committee and they have consistently opposed all of Kenneally's plans to force a favorable report by the committee. Attempts to whip the Brooklyn men Into line who are Democrats by personal appeals on the part of Tammany to John Alcuooey, the Democratic county leader, have been in vain. The Brooklyn men have been abiding by the Instructions of their respective district leaders and In each Instance they were told to use their own Judgment. There is much speculation as to the character of the amendments which Kenneally will present to the building committee to-morrow.

He has boldly explained to some of his intimates that it Is plan to have the committee report favorably on the amendments. Then he will take them to the Moyor, impressing upon him that the amendments represent tue consensus of opinion among the members of the committee, and In that way he hopes to obtain the approval of the Mayor. If the approval Is forthcoming the amendments will then be presented for the action of the full board. The five Brooklynltes and the Richmond aldermen will serve notice on Kenneally at the meeting to-morrow that, they will not consent to a vote on these amendments until they have been furnished with a copy of each and are given at least a week to study them. The Brook lyn men are not only exercised over the Tammany plan to give the hollow tile nterests a monopoly of the flreproonng industry in New York, but they claim that some of the new features In the pro- nosed cost will Increase the cost of con struction of two-family houses In Brooklyn from $800 to $1,000.

Encouraged by tho Mayors attitude, the allied concrete Interests, which are grossly discriminated against In the proposed code, will Insist that the Board of Aldermen make comparative tests of fireprooftng materials, which, they say, Is the only fair way to determine the durability of hollow tile, as compared with cinder concrete. The cinder concrete Interests have volunteered to give $15,000 so the tests will not cost the city a dollar. If the aldermen persist In their refusal, the allied concrete interests declare, It will be because tho hollow tile trust has resorted to powerful Influence to prevent a test from being held. BERNHARDTSAILS FOR FRANCE Actress Says She Will Return for a Tour in 1915. Sarnh Bernhardt, Just returned from a triumphant tour of the United States, sailed for France this morning on the French line steamship La Lorraine, taking her company with her.

Notwithstanding tho dinner given In her honor Inst night at the Hotel Marie Antoinette by her manager, W. F. Connor, the great French actress was up early to greet her friends and held an impromptu reception nt fhn uhin RHa worn a long, champagne colored pongee coat, I that almost matched her light, fluffy hair, and scores of enthusiasts French men and women gathered about her and kissed her hand as she stood and talked with reporters. Mme. Bernhardt said that she had al wayB liked America and that her love for thlB country was constantly growing, adding that she would probably return for another tour In 1915.

STRIKEBREAKERS STONED. George Clay Severely Injured in the Melee. The strikebreakers employed by the Davidson Pump Works of 43-45 Keap street to take the place of the seventy machinists who went on a Btrlke on May 1, because they were refused an additional increase in salary and less working hours, were stoned by tho latter last night as they were leaving tho building.

,1 O. H. Ulrica Larry Emrlch DELANO IS THE D.T. Professional Detroit Promoter Has Offered the Company to Western Union. HAS UNTIL OCTOBER TO SELL.

Is Trying: to Interest Various Groups of Capitalists American Concern Unafraid. The offer of $60,000 for the capital stock and franohise rights of the American District Telegraph Company of Brooklyn, as reported exclusively in The Bagle yesterday, was made by F. M. De lano, a Detroit promoter. Mr.

Delano was described yesterday by Henry w. Kll- bourne, secretary of the local company, as one who had established more than fifty telephone companies in the West, in South America and in the West Indies. It became, positively known to-day that Mr. Delano had made a definite offer for the Bale of the company to the Western Union Telegraph Company. The Western Union for years has endeavored to obtain control of the local company.

It has always desired to extend the operations ot the American District Telegraph Company of New Jersey, its big subsidiary, to Brooklyn, and at one time it engaged the local A. D. T. Company in a lawsuit to defend Its exclusive right to use the name "American District Telegrapn- in Brooklyn. The local company succeeded In establishing its prior claim to the name and the Western Union was foroed to adopt another designation.

At the offices of the Western Union in Manhattan all knowledge of the identity of F. M. Delsno was disclaimed. It was admitted, however, that an offer had been made for the sale of the Brooklyn company to the Western Union, but that the latter, thus far at least, had not looked Into the matter. F.

H. Bethel, vice president of the New York Telephone Company, said that his company was not Interested and that he had no Idea as to who had made the offer for the stock of the Brooklyn company. He doubted whether its franchise covered the telephone business. No Infor mation could be obtained at the office of President Vail of the American Tele phone and Telegraph Company, the parent company of both the New York Tele phone and the Western Union companies. "We are not In the least worried," said President Vail's secretary this morning.

Many attempts in the past have been made by the Independents to enter the local field and all have failed. tne Brooklvn company really has a fran chise as broad and comprehensive as they say It 1b, It seems to me that they could get more than $80,000 for It." From all that could be gatnerea to-aay it would appear that Mr. Delano is a professional promoter and that he has made tentative offers to various groups of capitalists for the disposal of the franohise ot the local company. The options on the stock do not expire until October of this year, and by that time he may have succeeded in interesting someone In the possibilities of the local field as vouchsafed by the terms of the Brooklyn company's franchise. The 183 shares of the stock of the A.

D. T. Company of Brooklyn, which were offered at auction yesterday afternoon, were bid In by the original owner. DIX IsljJANDARY Governor Does Not Know What to Do in Case of Grosser. (Special to The Eagle.) June 22 Former Sheriff Her- Harvey 0f Queens came td Albany yesterday afternoon to Intercede in be half of Borough President Lawrence Gresser, who may be removed by Governor Dix in compliance with the recommendations of Commissioner Samuel Ord-way, made last Friday.

Gresser's application for a hearing has not yet been acted upon by the Governor and Harvey's visit was taken to mean that the Gresser-Harvey combination is growing anxious lest the Governor act without giving fGresBer another opportunity to defend himself. Harvey was accompanied by District Attorney Fred G. DeWltt ot Queens County. It is reported that Harvey said some very flattering things about Gresser to the Governor. It is known that the Governor is In a quandary as to what to do in the Gresser case.

Commissioner Ordway, who was the official state prober of the Gresser administration, was appointed by Governor Hughes. Gresser'B opponents assert that Ordwny's report was a worse blow than even Borough President Haffen of the Bronx received, and that Hughes did not hesitate to remove Haffen. They Bay that 'Hughes would surely remove GreBser and that Governor Dlx realizes this. But, on the other hand, Mayor Gaynor 1b believed to be Interceding in Gresser's behalf, and it would not surprise politicians to find that the Mayor is making a moBt aggressive fight for Gresser's retention In office, and appealing to Governor Dlx, with whom he Is on friendly terms, to let the Queens executive off with a reprimand. There is some talk of a successor to Gresser, but the Queens County members of the legislature do not encourage it.

The Gresser-Harvey combination has two representatives In the Assembly, Huber and Kennedy. TheBe men are working to keep Gresser In office. Senator Denis J. Harte, the Queens County Senator, is friendly to former Borough President Cnssldy. but is keeping his hands off the present situation.

Harte himself is being boomed for Gresser's place, but he will not discuss the matter. NATIONAL FOBEST PEOPOSED. Washington, June 22 The creation of a national forest Is contemplated in a bill Introduced yesterday by Senator Smith of Maryland.

STABBING WAS JUSTIFIED Jury Acquits Elizabeth Reld on Charge of Killing Her Stepfather After Day's Trial. After being out for three hours, a Jury before Justice Garretson In Part of the Supreme Court, last night decided that Elizabeth Pearsall, 22 years old, was Justified In stabbing her stepfather, Michael Reld, to death, on Ap'rll 22 last, and found her not guilty of manslaughter In the first degree.

Her condition was such that her attorney, Luke rvRoiiiv rii.i not nut her on the witness stand to tell her version of the quarrel which led up to the stabbing. Mrs. Reld, the widow and mother of the Indicted girl, however, was a witness. It appears that Reld did not get along well with his two step-daughters, Anna Kleatlng and Elizabeth, the latter being morrtort hut not living with her husband.

There were words the night of the stab bing between Anna and her siepiamer, In which Mrs. Reld took her daughter part. Mrs. Reld told tne jury uim husband grabbed and tried to strangle her. She screamed and her daughter, Eiizabeth, ran to her aid.

"Elizabeth was washing dishes when I screamed," she Bald, "and she grappled with him. He dropped me and went for her. My daughter backed away from him as he fell on the lounge.
