Revision, it Is Claimed, Spoil It as a Campaign Issue.

Will ALTERATIONS ANNOUNCED. Foley Tells of Eliminations and Additions Local Legislators Non-Coramittal. One by one the features of the pro posed charter for the City of New York which aroused so much criticism at the hearings before the Joint Cities Commit tee of the Legislature are being eliml nated. One by one the Republicans, who were counting on the passage of the charter as a big Issue against the Demo crats in the coming campaign, are be coming discouraged as they see this issue fading away. They will go through the bill with a fine tooth comb, however reading it with a microscope.

If neces sary, to discover flaws, and they Intend to make an Issue of the passage of the charter "in haste," anyway. If they can not find anything else to complain about One fact remains, and that Is the Mayor' absolute power of veto over rapid transit and other franchises, and his required "separate consent" to contracts for op eratlou, which Is still In tha charter graft. Tammany Determined That Charter Will Be Passed. Tammany la responding to public opin Ion for once, to judge from the announce ments made of the withdrawal of objec tlonable features in the charter bill. But Tammany Is determined upon the passage of the charter, and la discounting criti cism In advance.

"We will have the charter In uch shape that no reasonable person can ob Ject to It when it Is finally passed," said a leading Democrat today. "Efforts have been made to get me to commit niyaelf on the charter proposition one way or the other, before the bill is completed Great pressure has been brought to bear on the Brooklyn organization to declare against the bill In advance, but we will take no position until the bill Is finished Then, if it Bulls us, as we have every reason to expect It will, we will aup port it." This is the first authoritative statement of the attitude of the Brooklyn Democrats toward the charter. There is every likelihood that the local Demo ctatic members of the Legislature will support the bill. Governor Dix has let It be known to Inquirers at Albany, according to their reports, tnat ne will oppose the passage of the charter In any form at the coming Bession of the Legislature. He will not go so far as to say that he will veto the bill, provided It be passed and get the Mnyor's approval, but he is arguing against the passage of the bill at this session.

Tammany will Ignore these opinions and will send the hill to him without much fear that he will veto it. Mayor Helping to Eliminate Objec tionable Sections. The Mayor Is taking part In the elimination of objectionable sections in the bill, but apparently he is holding out to the last for the power of absolute veto over subway matters. Should this be left in the bill, the chief fight of the Republicans will center on that point. It is believed that the Mayor wants to use this power as a club over the head of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company, which has secured the comprehensive subway system now under way, but which could be ousted before the subways were completed if the Mayor so decided, under the new provision of the proposed Charter.

The Mayor's frlendB and the Tammany leaders assert that the Mayor already has that power, but the language of the present law Is far from being as explicit as that of the proposed Charter. That Mayor Gaynor wrote this provision into the new charter draft with his own hand is the statement made by a man who assisted In the preparation of tho bill. It is believed that he wants this power even more than the new paid Board of Education, which Is also left In the bill at the present time. The Board of Education feature may also be changed by the committee before the bill is presented to the Legislature, as Murphy, MoCooey and other leaders have been opposed to It from the beginning, on the ground that It would look as If Tammany was trying to get control of the schools. Foley Announces Changes That Are to Be Made.

According t0 an announcement made this morning by Assemblyman James A. Foley, chairman of the Assembly Cities Committee, it has been decided that the following changes In the present charter draft will be made: Restoring the provision for the removal of the Mayor, Controller, President of the Board of Aldermen and Borough Presidents by the Governor. The absence ot such a provision from the proDoscd charter raised a storm of protest. Restoring the power of audit to the Controller. In the proposed charter, the auditing power of the Controller had been materially reduced.

Taking out of the draft the Mayor's ab solute power of veto over Board of Es timate stock Issues, budget and anDro- priatlon Items. Continuing the method of selecting the City Chamberlain by appointment Instead of making him an elective officer as was proposed In the draft. eliminating the proposed provision restricting the appointment of members of the Board of Education to residents of the different borottjths, also the proposed restriction of the appointment of school superintendents to residents of the city, and giving full power over the merging of eligible lists for teachers to the Board of Education. A proposed provision that had been attacked by Dr. Lyman Abbott on the ground that, it would exempt from the Civil Service law thousands of employees has been eliminated.

The plan to give the control of city streets Into the hands of a hoard appointed by the Mayor, thus taking that power from the Borough President, has also been given up. The plan to give the Chamberlain the power to reduce assessments has been restricted so as to be effective only upon the consent of the Controller and the written recommendation of the Corpor ation Counsel. The section providing for the creation of a Bureau of Encuniberances under con trol of the Mayor has also been thrown out. The provision giving a priority of lien to charges of the Tenement House Department for changes made by the department to execute Its orders when the owner refused to make them, has been dropped. This would have made such liens prior to first mortgages.

JOB THE WORK OF EXPERTS. Lehner Lost 500 in Cash and Some Jewelry Cracksmen Leave Tools Behind. Safp-bursting experts tore out the front of the safe In the butcher shop of Joseph Lehner of 213 Bridge street some time between closing hour on Saturday night and 6 o'clock this morning and took $500 in cash and some jewelry.

The burglary was one of a series of safe breakings that have taken place In Brooklyn In the last month or two, all of which bear similar earmarks, and all of which are supposed to be the work of the same gang. The thieves select some small store, where the safe Is of the "easy" sort, small and flimsy in construction "a five or ten minute Job at the beet," as a veteran detective put it this morning. Mr. Lehner has been In business on lower Bridge street long enough to save money, and he has some property on the Park Slope, where he collects rents. Ho had been out collecting after banking hours on Saturday, a fact that seemed to be known by the burglars, who did not work In the dark.

He put the money that he could not bank la his safe, which stood near the platform scales, and under an electric light, in the front of his store. hen he went borne on Saturday night the money was in a small Inner compartment In the safe, which also had some valuable papers In it and a gold watch and chain and some trinkets that were not very costly. Safe Shattered and Contents Gone. John Popp opened the store this morn ing and he missed the safe at once. The electric light was glowing over the place where It had stood, but the safe, whlcn was- about four feet In height, had been carried to the rear of the shop.

Popp looked for it, and found It. with Its front door ripped off, as If with a can opener of power. The combination knob and spindle were lying on the floor In a mess of powdered and. splintered concrete, and the lock itself had been shattered. The contents of the safe, all except the money and jewelry deed3, mortgages, bonds and books were strewn about the floor.

A hack saw, a broad chisel and a hammer, the tools of the safe-breakers, were found abandoned beside the wrecked strong box. Popp took one look at the wreckage and then notified the police of the Adams street Btatlon. Pretty soon half a dozen detectives came and with them Morris Eckler. the fingerprint expert of the detective bureau, with his camera, to find the Imprints of the burglars' digits, if he could. The entrance to the place had been effected without much trouble.

Lehner's store is only a few doors from the extension of the Manhattan Bridge and there Is a low Iron railing leading to the rear yards from the extension. The thieves had evidently come through, passed over the railing and had then vaulted the few wooden fences to the rear of the butcher's shop. Gained Entrance to Store by Cutting Through Iron Bars. The back windows are protected by iron bars, and the thieves cut out one of the bars with their hack-saw and bent the next one with the chisel-jimmy, so that free passage was allowed for a grown man. The safe was then removed from the front shop to the rear, behind the big lee chest, and in a leisurely way, maybe, the rifling of the safe was ac complished.

The burglary might have been committed in the broad daylight of Sunday, for all the police know. Oddly enough there was another burglary on tho same block, and a few doors from the butcher shop, Borne time between Saturday and this morning. The barber shop of Fellppo Dominlco at 199 Bridge street was visited by thieves who forced their way In through the rear and stole $60 In cash, a watoh and some clothing. But it. Is not likely that the thieves who looted the barber's place Were those who ripped open the butcher's safe.

The Jobs were entirely distinct, the police think. The safe robbery was planned in advance, like each of the series that has been committed in Brooklyn in the past month or two. and the thieves had evidently informed themselves of the fact that Butcher Lehner had been collecting rents on Saturday afternoon, too late for banking the money. Nno one could be found in the neighborhood who had seen the burglars or had heard the thumps of the seldge-hammer which knocked off the combination knob and pushed out the combination spindle.

Magistrate Dooley Severe on Young Ruffians Captured by "Strong Arm Squad. Of the 127 car rowdies captured last night by the Police Department's "strong-arm squad" at the Culver Depot at Coney Island, about ninety proved to be Brooklynites when arraigned before Magistrate Dooley, In the Coney Island court, this morning, ana unless marrieu were given five days in Jail as a salutory lesson for their rowdyism.

The remainder, married Brooklynites and out-of-town men and boys, were each fined $5, which, If they couldn't pay, sent them to jail, too. A very few got off more lightly. The scene in and about the Coney Island police court morning was a very dramatic one. "strong-arm had done its work well. As fast as possible the men and youths arraigned and their fate determined by Magistrate Dooley, who asked each, as he stood before the bar.

whether he lived In Brooklyn and was married. If a married man It was a fine, or If the accused was unmarried and from Hoboken or Jersey City it was the sume. The answer "unmarried and from Brooklyn," brought a Jail sentence to the luckless car rowdy. Determined to break up tho practice of men, young and grownup, rushing the cars at the Culver depot, the "strong-arm squad," reinforced by twenty-five detectives from Manhattan headquarters, were sent to the "trouble points" at Coney Island last night to gather In those who were guilty of acts of car rowdyism. From 6 o'clock until midnight the squad was busy, and at the end of the irght the tale was 127 men and boys.

On Saturday night the same squad gathered in forty prisoners. The detectives were dressed In old clothes. Slipping Into the depot a few at a time they caused no notice to be taken of Commissioner Waldo's determination to berak up window-jumping on the Man hattan-bound tt'Rlns. At 6 o'clock forty detectives were on duty. The work for the squad was cut out for it as soon as It had gathered on the platforms.

Kvery detective waited until he had two prisoners, and then he hustled them off to the station ann hurried back for more. t-veryone who made a jump for a ear window was spotted and arrested before he had time to gasp. When the 127 men and boys were rounded up at the station Its capacity was taxed to the utmost. At. the Culver depot, which Is on Surf avenue, some little distance east of Luna r.irk, is handled the heaviest traffic of the entire Brooklyn Rapid Transit sys tent to and from Coney Island.

There have been many complaints gent In of I he behavior of youths who push the women and children aside and plunge through the windows in a wild scramble for seats. I'ntll recently car rowdies have been treated rather leniently by the magistrates sitting In the Coney Island court, but following Magistrate Hylan's drastic measures Magistrate Dooley has taken the same course, and announced a di terminal ion to give Jail sentences to youths caught in acts of rowdyism at the Coney Island railroad terminals. Magistrate Fitch Holds Two in $1,500 Bail. Two youth were arrested for raising a rove on a Hamburg avenue ear last night. They were Abe Kurtz, 17.

of 135 Amhoy street, and Herman Deltler, 16, of 2 Bristol street. They had been to a hall game out In Queens, and coming home they had gotten Into an altercation with the conductor. It Is alleged Deltler cut the bell rope, and his companion otherwise aided In terrifying the women passengers. The young men were arraigned before Magistrate Fitch today in the New Jersey avenue court, and held in $1,500 bail for examination on Thursday.

URNEO RETAINS TITLE Beats McLoughlin in Straight Sets of 6 4, 6 4 and 6 2 at Newport. (Special to The Eagle.) Newport, R. September 4 For the fourth consecutive year, William A. Lar-ned, seven times national tennis champion, successfully defeated hlB title to day at the Casino courts, ended his title today at the Casino courts, defeating Maurice E. McLoughlin, the challenger, In three straight sets, 64, 64, 62.

The match took place before the largest crowd of the season, and every place wns tilled an hour before the time set for the start. Even the roofs of the dress ing rooms, fully hundred yards from the courts, were crowded by fashionably dressed men and women who were unable get Into the grandstand. The weather was Just right for cham pionship tennis, for even in the sun It was cool enough for comfort. The court was fast and in perfect condition, al- tohtigh the base lines were slightly worn. The choice of service fell to McLough lin, and the champion drew first blood by a fast return across court.

The first game went to deuce, and was finally won by the challenger. 'I he second was a love game In the champion's favor, but McLoughlin made his serve good In the third and won. There was not the old-time speed to the champion's serve, but he played cleverly and varied his pace bewllderlngly. McLoughlin became unsteady as the match progressed, and Lamed won an other love game, the fourth of the set. This was the result of over-eagerness on the part of the red-haired Californlan.

The first match went to three all. but in the seventh game the champion broke through his opponent's service and turned the tide. McLoughlin won another game through working his famous twist service, but the champion pulled out tho deciding game with consummate case. It became plain that the ireneralshin of the champion was going to give him the victory against the less experience challenger. The latter the service aain at tne opening of the second set.

and scored his first love victory. Larned was unsteady when he came to close range, although not so bad in this respect as Although the second set went to 2 all. and shortly to 4-2 in favor of the champion, McLoughlin made a desperate rally at tnat point, and Larned began a series of double faults that made matters look dangerous. Only the latter's wonderful steadiness paved him from defeat, and a sudden loss of control at the critical stages of the game lost the set for McLoughlin. ne could not Keep the ball out of the net.

and Larned won again by 64. lnetntrrj set began with the chamnlon's forcing Ihe play, and bo only permitted the young challenger to take two games. it was a popular victory, although the Westerner had a large part of the crowd wilh him. MRS. SEAMAN'S NEW FIGHT.
