Fay. GOLF CLUB DANCE. PAUL GEIDEL SENTENCED; 20 YEARS AT HARD LABOR to Testify Before Grand Jury. BANK HEARINGS MUST GO ON Grand Jury Only to Consider Evi denoe Disclosed by Them, Says District Attorney. District Attorney Clarke declared today that the public hearings in the Union Bank investigation "will and must con tlnue," and that the Grand Jury will only take up such matters as have already come out at the investigation.

The mat ter of the Union Bank's alleged false re ports will, he says, be taken up by the September Grand Jury, when it meets tiexc Monday. As for Mr. Grout's appear aace before the Grand Jury Mr. Clarke takes the attitude that it is up to the Crtmd Jury to say whether or not caves for his testimony. Dr.

J. E. Rohrer, chairman of the De pcsltors Committee, announced this morning that the committee will take a hand in the endeavor to recover Union Bank collateral from Rollins Rollins the ousted attorneys of the Banking De partment. He will head a delegation of depositors who will visit Rollins Rol ins to urge upon them the surrender of the papers which they are holding back rename their endeavor at peaceful sua sion the Attorney General will not go on witn tne proposed replevin procedure. After visiting Rollins Rollins the De posltors Committee will visit the offices of George Tonkonogy, Paul Grout and Li.

C. Bursteln, who all have big bills for attorneys fees and" are holding valu able papers which are needed In the liquidation of the bank. District Attorney Clarke Answers Grout Letter. District Attorney Clarke's statement is made in answer to a letter from Edward M. Grout, in which Mr.

Grout criticised the public investigation and endeavored to get the District Attorney's aid to make it a purely Grand Jury matter. Mr Clarke says: "On the 23d of June I wrote Governor Dix the following letter: DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE, Kings County, N. Y. Brooklyn, June S3, 1911. Hon.

John A. Dix, Governor of State of New York. Albany. N. Y.

Dear Sir: Pursuant to conversation with Superintendent of Banks concerning the affairs of the Union Bank in this borough, 1 today took up the matter of plan of procedure with Hon. Louis Goldstein, and now learn that you. have offered to appoint him with full authority to examine and investigate the management and affairs of the Banking Department with relation to the Union Bank. This appointment under Section 8 of the Executive law would Invest iir. Goldstein with power to issue sub-penas, administer oaths, etc I fully approve of this course, and feel that It is the only way open to a satisfactory investigation of the affairs of this bank.

The 23,000 depositors of this bank for over a year have been Inquiring from directors and employees as to what the situation was. The only answer they have received is: They can not say a word. They have Inquired from the Banking Department and have received no information. A Grand Jury investigation, If It did not result In an indictment, would be a secret investigation, and when I would be asked By the depositors whit I discovered, I would, under such an investigation, be obliged to tell them that I was unable to tell them anything. A solution of the situation is a public hearing in this matter by an official with power, who can investigate, and, it evidence of any concrete crime Is disclosed, to hand such evidence to the District Attorney, who can then present it to the Grand Jury.

It would be a satisfaction to the depositors to hear and know of the evidence that Is produced, and will, in a large measure, allay the feeling that now prevails in this county, not only among the depositors, but their thousands of sympathizers. May I ad dthat there is a great necessity of prompt action In this matter, as I have reason to believe that there are material witnesses who, at this period of the year, are liable to leave the state I would therefore, in conclusion, recommend that Mr. Goldstein be appointed for this purpose under Section 8 of the Executive law. Mr. Goldstein and Assistant District Attorney May, who has been assigned to cooperate with Mr.

OoldBtein In this matter, are both present at the dictation of this letter, and both concur in these views rid loin In this letter by appending their Signatures. Respectfully, LOUIS F. LOUIS GOLDSTEIN. MITCHELL MAY. "PuMJe Investigation "Will and Must Continue." "This letter fully sets out my attitude.

This publlo investigation will and must continue. The Grand Jury will consider matters which are developed by the Investigation. The public Investigation is of the first importance, and the Grand Jury action will follow and consider anything of a criminal nature which the investigation may disclose. This is the policy agreed upon by Mr. Goldstein and myself at the outset and will be adhered to throughout.

"The matter of the reports of the Union Bank to the Banking Department was considered before the Investigation. It is the opinion of the Investigators and myself that this matter be presented for the consideration of the September Grand Jury, which will convene on the 11th of September. "Mr. Grout's request to appear before the Grand Jury on the question of the falsity of the reports to the Banking Department is regulated by sections 257 and 258 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, which are as follows: See. 2R7.

Grand Jury not hound to near evidence for the defendant, bnt may order explanatory evidence to be produced. The Grand Jury Is not bound to hear evidence submitted for the defendant, but it is their duty to weigh all the evidence submitted to them, and when they have reason to believe that other evidence, within their reach, win explain away the charge, they should order such evidence to be produced, and for that purpose may require the District Attorney to issue process for the witnesses. See. 288. Destree of evidence, to warrant an Indictment.

The Grand Jury ought to And an indictment, when all the evidence before them, taken to gether. Is such as In their judgment would. If unexplained or uncontradicted, warrant a con vlctlon by the trial Jury. Justice Putnam's decision on ing Mr. Grout to appear before Deputy I Superintendent or Banks Dodge in the Union Bank investigation is expected within two or three days.

If the decision is adverse and Mr. Grout appeals, Assemblyman Goldstein will at once take up with the Governor the question of compelling Mr. Grout's appearance under Section 8 of the Executive Law. Grout Grout Ask Amendment of Foreclosure Judgment. Bupreme Court Justice Jaycox was this asked by the law firm of Grout Grout, representing the Union Bank and other defendants, to amend a Judgment of foreclosure signed by Justice Jaycox some months ago In the action brought by Charles E.

King, against 'the Brlarwood Land Company of Jamaica, and, among others, the Mechanics Traders Bank, the Union Bank, David A. Sullivan and the Consolidated Brlarwood Estates. By the motion it is sought to have entered In favor of the Union Bank and certain other defendants the taxable costs and allowances which were not Included in the original decree. The property affected by the foreclosure lies in Jamaica, and there stands against It a Judgment aggregating J.3B6,-93, it Is said. When the case was tried before Justice Jaycox, Judgment was given In favor of the Union Bank and threu other defendants.

Charles E. Ma-hony, the attorney for the plaintiff, op posed the motion, and Justice Jaycox reserved decision. FRENCH ARTIST DEAD. Paris, September 5 Leopold Flameng, noted French engraver, died today. HIVES LOSES ITSELF.

Cranston said that the mouth of the channel had not been discovered and it was feared by residents of that section that the water was finding its way into Salton Sea. UNDERPAID, FIREMEN SAY. Petition Being Prepared Asking foi Better Wages. The men of the Fire Department are preparing to submit a petition to the Board of Estimate and Apportionment, asking for a raise in pay.

The increase asked for amounts to about 15 per cent, of the present Balary of the men, and It would mean an addition to the salary budget of the department of about In the petition attention is called to the increased cost of living, as well as to the Increase in wages which have been granted to other city employees. Then It goes on: "The life of one in the fire service, at Its best, is subject to unnatural condi tions, which no other city employees obliged to contend with, owing to the Irregular meal hours, disturbed sleep and undue nervous strain. This Is further augmented by the fact of being com pelled to be on duty twenty and one-half hours out of twenty-four hours each working day, thereby depriving us of the home comforts other men enjoy. The following Is a contrast between the hours of the firemen and those of other otty employees: Firemen, average city employee, 2.216." The document is signed by William McGough, Matthew Fltzpatrick, John Boetwlck, Thomas O'Toole, Timothy O'Connell and Walter J. Dugan.

Clarke, It may be said to-day with some authority, will be renominated by the Democratic organization. For himself Mr. Clarke Is prepared to accept the nomination and to make a stro.ng fight on the record of his office. He will meet his opponent, whomsoever he may be, squarely on the activities of the force he heads and will not run away from any criticisms or strictures. "If the Republicans want to make a fight on the conduct of my office or the activities of my assistants," Mr.

Clarka said today, "they won't find me running away. 1 am prepared to fight on that issue." Informally, the district attorney does not believe that opponents of his office can make much out ot the criticism that his assistants have outside clients. It was pointed out today that it has always been the custom of Hie assistant district attorneys to hold together the nucleus of their clientele so that an as sistant, upon leaving office, will have at least some practice to which to return. This general plnn. It was said, has been thoroughly acceptable: has been thrashed out time and again, and has received Indirectly the sanction of the Legislature, inasmuch as bills framed to limit the activities of the assistants strictly to official duties have time and again been killed at Albany.

Cropsey May Not Be Candidate ot Kepublicans. There is no unnnlmliy of feeling today among Republicans regarding the candidacy of James C. Cropsey for Mr. Clarke's opponent. From one source today It was learned that the reform element of the First Assembly District and the up-to-date leaders of the Young Republican Club would probably unite on Cropsey's candidacy.

This rumor was taken to Darwin R. James, however, and was practically discounted by him. He said there had been a great deal of talk In the air about Cropsey and he had heard some of It, but that no fusion had been planned and he did not think any was imminent. He said It could be stated authoritatively that the Young Republican Club would not. at this time, Indorse any candidate.

"We are going to stand for prlnoiples," he said, "and you may be sure that there will be a strong Republican ticket In this county In the fall. How could there fall to be? The men who are now In control have absolutely nothing in view except the bettering of conditions. There will be no dickering and bartering and swapping. A straight-out, clenn ticket will be appointed and it will reflect credit on the men in control." "Do you think Mr. Cropsey the strongest candidate now In the field?" Mr, James was asked.

"It would be only a wild guess If should answer," was the response. It was learned from Mr. James and from other Republicans that it Is not at. all certain Mr. Cropsey would accept a nomination If one were tendered him.

He himself has not said anything about this phase of the situation. THE EAGLE GOT THE LETTER. Uncle Sam Delivered Note Without Stamps, Envelope or Address. There seems to he no doubt but that Uncle Sam reads Tho Eagle and has a kindly regard for It. Yesterday somebody who has a room to let In a house In Carlton avenue and who had read In The Eagle advertisements that someone wanted just such a room wrote about his room on a sheet of white letter paper and dropped It into the letter box at Sta tion L.

Now this person, apparently either careless or confident, didn't put the sheet of paper in an envelope, and didn't put The Eagle's address on It, and furthermore dldn put a two-cent stamp on It. What did Uncle Snm do? Do you think that sheet of paper, unaddressed. un stamped and "tin-envelnped," went to the dead letter office at Washington? No sree! Thpre was enough scriDOIing on the sheet to make Uncle Sam, reading it, realize that it was an answer to an advertisement In The Eagle, fjnele Sam Just sent tho sheet of paper to the main post office on Washington street. He attached a "postage due" stamp to it and it was shoved in with the rest of The Eagle's mail. An Eagle clerk paid the two cents due and then deposited the sheet of paper in Its, proper box in the advertising department.

You ve got to "go some" to puzzle uncle Sam, all right! MANTON'S POCKET PICKED. Lawyer Martin T. Manton returned to day from a month's trip In the West. He had his pocket picked In Denver by some dexterous ana enterprising ciuun and lost $500. He looked over the baseball stars of the West and thought some them as good as the big league play ers.

Everywhere, he said, he heard the name ot Woodrow Wilson as the probable Democratic presidential candidate. THE REALTY MARKET ket Auction Sales Today at the Keal Estate Exchange. (BY WILLIAM P.

The maximum sentence Is life. Geldel was brought Into the courtroom, nnd Btood quietly before the Clerk of the Court.

He was asked If there was any reason for deferring the sentence, and James A. Gray, chief counsel, said: "If your honor pleases, In a case of this nature, the duty as well as the power of the court is so arbitrarily fixed that any motion on the part of counsel for the de fense Is entirely unnecessary. The counsel, while not being with the Jury, still does not contend with it, and the counsel will make no motion to the court." Judge Crain then Imposed sentence. Geldel was dressed In the same suit that he has worn throughout his trial, and which was purchased with the money obtained from the sale of Jackson's watch.

MISSING SINCE LAST APRIL Specific Charge Is Theft of $75. Books Show a Shortage of About $1,500. Charged with embezzlement, Anna B. Johnson, a tall, modest-looking girl of 19, clad In spotless white, was called from tho pen In the Adams street court, this morning, before Magistrate Harris. The detectives' who arrested her said that the innocent-looking young person had given them a chase since April last and that she had taken something like J1.500 from her employers in a very few months and had been spending the money with a man.

Anna's parents live at 25 Palmetto street, in this borough, and since April, she confessed to the probationary officer, Miss Connelly, she had been home but once, and that was to see her mother. Miss Johnson Is a bright girl, the police say, but she has managed to tangle up the affairs of the Forman Realty Com pany. The company sells real estate on the Installment plan, and some of the Installments went into Anna's pockets, according to the sworn affidavit of Alexander A. Forman, whose name heads the company's stationery. A number of people who had been paying up promptly on their purchasing contracts had been called up with a round turn for lapses, and they proved to the officials of the company that the polite and dainty bookkeeper had been taking the cash and had not been putting down the payments on the company's books.

Disappeared Soon After the Defalcation Was Discovered. The discovery of a defalcation came to the officers In April last, and at that time Anna closed her desk and went "sick." When she was sought for an explanation she could not be found, and Mr. Forman went before Magistrate Hy- lan and had a warrant issued for her arrest. The specific charge was that she had stolen $75, paid by Giovanni Albano to her on an Installment contract. Tho warrant was given to Detective Lieuten ant John Duane and Detective McDon- ough, and for three months the police have been looking for her.

She was arrested last night on Rockaway avenue as she'was walking with her friend. She was questioned this morning by Miss Connelly and Bhe denied that her man friend had received any of the money which she Is charged with having stolen. 'I lost some of It and some of It was stolen from me by a girl friend," said the young woman. "But I would not tell the girl's name, for she was very good to me and I don want to ortng her into tnla trouble. I did not tell Mr.

Forman that I had lost the money. I was ashamed and desperate. Tht first loss I had was $300, which I had in a roll In my hand one day when I went out to luncheon. I don't know how I came to lose It, but I lost it and don't know where or when. Then 1 lost other small sums, but I did not tell anybody." "Why did you go away?" asked Miss Connelly.

Wants Forinan to "Let TJp," but Bail Is Fixed at $3,000. "I didn't go away," replied the girl left Home, tnat is all, but I stayed in Brooklyn, it is not true that I left town with my friend. I stayed In Brooklyn and lived in palmetto street some of the time, not far from my parents' home. And I worked, too, as stenographer and typewriter in Manhattan. I did not give my gentleman iriena any of this money.

If the truth were known, he helped me. and mat is wny 1 line him so. And I think Forman should let up on me. did not steal this money. I lost it.

And It is not so much as $2,000, as the detectives say. It Is much less. Mr. Forman knows my father and mother. They worked for him, and he knows that we are respeciame people." It was clear, when the case was called, that Mr.

Forman had no Idea of "letting up." His lawyer was there to protest against ukui uuu. "This Is a serious case," said counsel for the complainant. "The complaint puts the larceny at $75, but an examination of the books shows that this woman short something like $1,500, and the examination has not been completed." Magistrate Harris postponed hearing until Thursday next, and fixed the ball $3,000. As no one was present to go on the girl's ball bond, she went to Raymond Btreet Jail. 1 Enjoyable Affair at Lake Mahopac Well Patronized.
