(Special to The Eagle.) rrovidnie. September 9 The Rev. Joseph Lsmbert. pastor of the Elm-wood Congregational Church, who mar ried John Jacob Astor and Miss Adelaide T. Force at Newport today, may get Into serious trouhle becase of rninlog to tbe aid of the New York millionaire.

The Ktmwood Congregational Church Is one of the most fashionable and exclusive churches in this city. The action of the pastor In performing the ceremony sfler so many clergymen had refused has wakened an Intense resentment among a certain faction In the congregation. There Is a split threatened In the church, and It Is not at all unlikely that as a consequence the pastor may lose his pastorate. There is a further possibility that he may be dropped from the church body entirely. Sentiment Strict In Congregational Church.

While in the Congregational Church each congregation Is a law unto Itself. recently the Congregational councils have teen drastic In Ihetr attitude toward min isters who marry divorced persons. Brooklyn bad an example of this when the Rev. John Lewis Clark of the Bush-wick Avenue Congregational Church mar-lied William Ellfs Corey and Mabelle Gil- ir.an, attar Corey had been divorced by his first wife. The marriage of Corey had no sooner been made public than a furore arose over the city.

In this many Congregational preachers and churches took part. The Rev. Mr. Clark had received a fee of $1,000 for per.unnlng the marrlago and much was made of this feature of the cose. The Rev.

Neliemlab Boynton. pastor et the Cllutcu avenue Congregational Church aud other prominent ministers so strongly opposed the action that Mr. Click returned the fee. Open friction over tne action or iht minister was averted only by what amounted on his part of a practical ttiai.t;on of the giving to the marrljd cfurlo of the sam-tliy of tie chuicli. Yacht Is Lost to the Reporter.

Newport. R. September 10 The yacht Noma, which left here yesterday with Colonel John Jacob Aator and his wife, who was Miss Madeline Talmadge Force, as the happy passengers, has succeeded, temporarily at leaat. In throwing the reporters off the track. After tbe flower-bedecked craft put out from Newport Harbor it was not heard from and the destination of the honeymooners Is still a deep secret.

When the Noma left here she had on board enough coal and provisions to last htr for a long cruise, and It Is thougltt that Colonel and Mrs. Astor are by this time far on their way to some distant port possibly In the West Indies or the Medlterrannan. The wedding took place yesterday at Beechwood, the Colonel's summer home In this city. The Rev. Joseph Lambert, a Congregational clergyman, officiated.

Willoughby Avenue Residents Com plain of Its Condition. Residents on Willoughby avenue, be tween Marcy and Tompkins, are com plaining because of the delay in com pleting tbe work of asphalting tha street. The claim is made that even tha usual precautions to prevent accidents have not been taken since tbe work ceased, three weeks ago.

C. R. Williamson of 525 Willoughby avenue, stated last night that no red lantern had been displayed at night during this time, despite the fact that he bad called the Highway office up on the ttelephone to report the matter. The tops of a number of manholes project above the surface and endanger vehicles tbat pass. TO ARGUE OVER "HELL, INC." Secretary of State Edward Lazansky, who refused to grant a certificate of incorporation to a number of men who wished to run a restaurant under the name of "Hell, Incorporated." was Berved with notice of mandamus proceedings to compel bim to issue the certificate, the applicants yesterday.

The case is to be argued In the Supreme Court of Manhattan on Friday of this week. Mr. Lazansky will be represented by the Attorney General.

Parent's Affection the Only Thing That Disturbs His Iron Composure. Chesterfield Courthouse, September 9 Thought of Impending doom death In the electric chair on November 24 did not break the steel-bound composure of Henry Clay Beattle. today, as he spent his first day In a cell here convicted of the murder of his wife. In a matter-of-fact way he discussed tne case with friends who called to ex press sympathy, but to the newspaper men he bitterly denounced the verdict as unfair. Expecting that Judge Watson would not order his removal to tbe state penitentiary for several days, young Beattle began to make his cell more habitable.

Beulab Binford bis relations with whom shocked the Jurymen was a frequent name on Beattie's Hps. Time aud again he complained that the Jury had tried him for his relations with the girl of the underworld rather than upon the circumstantial testimony pertinent to the tragedy. Father and Son Still Hope Against Hope. Henry Clay Beattle, father of the young man, visited his convicted son today, and pressed a kiss on his forehead. It was at this moment, as in previous moments In the trial that the fortitude of the boy crumpled and his face flushed.

Tears forced their way from his eyes. In the mind of father and son still flickers one hope the granting by the Court of Appeals of a new trial through a writ of error. But the prevailing opinion In Virginia's bar is that it Is a vain hope. In contrast to the peaceful scene In the jail was a little home In Richmond, seventeen miles away, where Paul Beat-tie, cousin of the convicted man. sat with his wife and babe, glad In his freedom from weary days of detention as the commonwealth's principal witness, yet sympathetic for the man for whom he bought the fatal gun, all Ignorant of ttio evil purpose that it was to fill four days later.

"What I did In testifying," said Paul. "I did from a sense of duty. It was hard at first to nerve myself to telling all I knew, but I am relieved since I have done It." PEDDLED ORANGES AND RINGS. Strange Stock Gets Charles Ness Into Trouble. The police of the Snyder avenue station have In their possession a dazzling collection of Imitation gold rings which were taken from Charles Ness, a peddler, who says he Is 50 years old and lives at 1412 Second avenue, Manhattan.

Ness was detained on a charge of violating a corporation ordinance by peddling with a fictitious license. Hess admitted tbat his brother peddled lr. Manhattan on a certificate while he peddled In Brooklyn on the badge. In this manner a aouoie license tee was saved. He had orange" In his basket which he offered for sale.

When people refused to buy them he drew them aside and snowed the rings. BOY HURT; AUTO SPEEDS ON. George Jones, 4 years old, was hit by an automobile and knocked to the curb while playing In front of his home, 228 Linden street, last night. The boy received a gash in bis head and was treated by Dr. Mueller of the German Hospital.

The driver of tbe automobile, after the machine had hit George, put on full power and disappeared in the direction of Broadway. BUDDHA'S TEARS. Ryosul Matsuo aged 60, abbot of the Junsel temple In Kamlnllkawagorl, had words with Ryoshu Shlnbochl. aged 21. and probably one of the former's disciples.

In the end, a severe scolding was meted out to the latter, who wished to devise a means of vengeance, as to raise his fists at his venerable old teacher the young priest would not do. So, js a means of wiving vent to his Indignation, the youth dealt a severe blow on the head of a wooden Image of Gyokl Bosatsu, who Is the patron saint of the temple. To the great astonishment of Ryoshu, the wooden Image shed tears. The strange story soon went from mouth to mouth and It Is reported that the credulous folk, young and old, go on a visit to this temple by thousands every dsy and themselves shed tears of reverence and gratitude, worshipping this miraculous image from a distance.

FEVER IN PLANTS. rFrom the Scientific American. Not only animals but plants may suffer and die of fevers Is the conclusion reached by tho French savant Du Sablon. When a human being bas a fever he loses flesh on account of the Increased combustion, the quantity of carbonic acid respired from tbe lungs being augmented from 70 to 100 per cent. A plant attacked by a fever, which may be caused by a wound, rapidly consumes its reserves of organic matter and becomes enfeebled, sometimes sufficiently to cause its death.

Du Sablon bas experimented with potatoes rendered feverish by cutting them. The temperature soon rises about one degree, and the quantity of carbonic acid given off increases several hundred per cent. If the potato survives. Its "respiration" after a few days becomes normal, but It falls Into an enfeebled state, resembling that of a parson convalescent from a long favar. ODE TO A PILE DRIVER.

From out my casement I can see Thee labor all day long. Thou art a lank, ungainly thing, And simple Is thy song. 'Tls but a "chug" and then a "blng," And with thy blngs and chugs My ear drum shivers In affright. And I am almost bugs. But thou dost do thy duty well.

And cause tbe earth to crunch; For though thou art an ugly thing, Thou hast an awful punch. And there are many men who shine As models, fair and slick; But when the time for action comes They can't produce the kick. So blessings on thee, noisy brute.

Education Chapter May, However, Be Subjected to Modi- ftcation. An attempt will be mad by Democratic leaders in New York City to have Mayor Gayror accede to the elimination of the section of the proposed charter which gives him the absolute veto, power over rapid transit matters after they have been approved by the Board'of Estimate. This attempt will be made before the charier comes up for a vote In the Legislature. Should the charter be defeated on the first rollcall. the attempt to obtain the Mayor's consent wllj be renewed with redoubted emphasis.

The Mayor has" been sounded on this proposition already, but he shows no signs of yielding. Another attempt will be made to have htm agree to the virtual elimination of the paid Board of Education feature of the charter, the second point on which most of the opposition has centered. It Is considered likely that some compromise will be reached on the Board of Education section, but this change will not be made in the charter draft, according to the present outlook, before the Legislature reconvenes on September IS. One reason for this delay Is the fact that the work of printing the charter In its present revised form is being rushed, and the amendment to the educational section can more conveniently be inserted at Albany from the floor. The compromise will probably provide for a voluntary board of fifteen members, In which each borough w.ill be represented, and of which the head will be paid a salary.

'1st expep ted that'1 tikis compromiser wai meet most of the objections to a board composed wholly of paid members, and will, remove the foundation for the charge that the board will be composed of politicians, seeking fat Jobe and control of the school system. The veto power granted to the Mayor In the proposed charter Is' described as the crux of the charter situation. The greater part of the, opposition to the Cullen-Foley (bill is due to this attempt to give the Mayor the whip hand over subways. It is reported that Mayor Gaynor wrote this section In the present draft of the charter with his own hand so that there could be no mistake about it. When the draft was Issued the Cities Committee of the Legislature Issued a statement, saying that the language of this section was made "unambiguous" so as to clear up the doubts said to surround the Mayor's powers under the present charter and the Rapid Transit act.

The Democratic party leaders have become greatly alarmed at the opposition to the veto power feature. They fear that the Republicans will use this as a powerful Issue in the coming campaign for county offices and Assemblymen. They would like to see it eliminated. If they can succeed, they believe that any issue the Republicans hope to make on the passage of the charter will fall to the ground. They even believe that there tan be no Btrong opposition to the passage of the charter with these features eliminated.

Representative William M. Calder returned from Rochester yesterday, where he had addressed the convention of the National Letter Carriers' Association. He had luncheon with George W. Aldridge, the Rochester Republican leader, and says that he obtained a very strong impression that both Rochester Senators, Ormrod and Argetslnger, who were named by Controller Prendergast as reported to be willing to vote for the charter, would vote aglnst it. Mr.

Calder says that he is almost sure the up-state Republicans will unite solidly against the charter. 'WETS' AND 'DRYS' CONFIDENT. Both Sides Expect to Carry Maine Election. Portland, September 9 The probable vote of the rural districts continued tonight to be the uncertain factor In all forecasts of the outcome of the special elections to be held next Monday on the question of repealing the liquor prohibitory amendment of the Mains constitution. Both sides conceded the cities to the "yes," or repeal side, but the probable vote of the country districts was much in doubt and reports that came from those sections were very contradictory.

Secretary Frederick G. Fassett of the Maine non-partisan local self-government league, the repeal campaign organization, said tonight: "I believe that the prohibitory amendment will be annulled-by a substantial majority. Men who have been out at work among the voters estimate the majority at from 10.000 to 20,000 and I personally believe that these estimates are reasonable." Mrs. Lillian M. N.

national president of the W. C. T. who has been the leader in the fight against repeal, said: "I expect now, as I have from the first, that we shall win a victory for constitutional prohibition in Maine." MARTIAL LAW IN HONDURAS. Gigantic Conspiracy Against Government Unearthed.

San Salvador. Republic of Salvador, September 9 It Is reported here that martial law has been declared in Honduras. Recently a gigantic revolutionary plot against the administration of Honduras was unearthed. Theodore Hernandez end M. Ugorta were arrested, and letters wej-e found revealing the hiding place of a large quantity of arms and ammunition.

It was said that former President Davila, who was deposed by the revolution under General Manuel Bonilla, was But He Isn't Sure Until He Consults With Counsel on the Subject. QUICK ACTION PLANNED. Further Attempt at Delay May Be Forestalled by Executive Subpena. Irrespective of whether or not Edward M. Grout puts In an appearance at the Union Bank examination On Monday, the investigators have decided to begin tomorrow with probing the Grout administration of the bank.

Subpenas have been issued for various persons who had dealings with the Grout administration, and if their attendance can be secured Attorney James C. Cropsey will begin to develop the history of the bank after the reopening. It is possible that Mr. Grout will appear In person on Monday or send notice of his willingness to appear when wanted. It was stated at his office late yesterday afternoon that he had not yet decided what course to take, and the statement which be Issued lata last night indicates that he intends to consult with counsel before reaching a decision.

He left his country home at Green Farms.s at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon for some point on Long Island. Hit brother, Paul Grout, also left his counr try home at Nortbport, L. at about the same time, and It is supposed that they conferred about the matter. Mr. Grout Issued the following statement last night: Grout Again Asks (or Questions in Advance.

"While an appeal from Judge Putnam 'e decision will probably be taken, I cannot undertake to definitely determine that without consultation with counsel. "Meanwhile, as I hace done four times heretofore, I again state that I am now, as I have always been, ready to waive all question of the legality of Mr. Dodge's inquisition and to appear before him If he will Inform me which of the thousands of items and transactions of the bank be desires to Inquire into and will afford me the opportunity to have the necessary access to the books and papers of the bank. "This has always been my position and will be even If the courts on appeal should say that the proceeding Is Illegal. It seems to be to be fair, and can lead only to a fair and Impartial Inquiry, which is all that I seek." If Mr.

Grout decides to appeal he will have to make haste to get an attorney to handle his case, as Mr. Littleton's departure for Europe leaves him without a legal representative. Ha has only until Thursday to escape the Issue of a sheriff's warrant. It Is deemed likely that he will secure counsel at once because the Grand Jury will begin its probe of Union Bank matters on Wednesday. According 'to the plans of District Attorney Clarke the September Grand Jury will make a very thorough probe of Union Bank affairs.

The first three days of next week will be devoted to routine matters. After that the Union Bank matters and whenever necessary the morning sessions also. Three lines of Inquiry, the outline of which has already been developed at the publlo hearings will be followed. Evidence of False Reports to Be Offered to the Grand Jury. The most important la the alleged false reports made by the bank when Mr.

Grout was president of the bank. It Is proposed to present to the Grand Jury evidence that certain notes and collateral which the bank carried among its assets were worthless. It Is Said that the Investigators have recently discovered a number of letters in the files of the bank bearing on the question as to whether Mr. Grout had personal knowledge of the fart that these assets were worthless. The second line of grand Jury Inquiry will relate to the recent testimony of Manager Smith of the Atlantlo Branch of the Mechanics and Traders Bank and Raymond MicArdle, a clerk In the bank, that acting under orders from David A.

Sullivan they destroyed certain records of the bank. District Attorney Clarke said after the hearing at which they testified that the acts they admitted constitute forgery In the third degree. If Sullivan's complicity In this matter can be proved, another Indictment against him Is likely. Believed That Sullivan Note Will Also Be Inquired Into. The third line of Inquiry concerns the evidence brought out st Friday's hearing.

At this bearing a connection was established between a payment of $26,000 by David A. Sullivan on a 1100,000 note which he owed at the Hamilton Bank and the discounting of two worthless notes with Union Bank money. Otto E. Relmer, who testified that the notes were worthless; Broc R. Shears, who testified as to receiving $25,000 In cash from Sullivan, and Paul Haas, who traced the checks paid on the worthless notes through the Home Bank back to the Union Bank, have all been served with grand-Jury subpenas.

Everyone connected with the Union Bank Investigation was highly elated yesterday over Justice Putnam's decision by which Mr. Grout Is required to obey the subpena of the Superintendent of Banks. "I am sorry Mr. Littleton's eloquence has gone for naught." Assemblyman Louis Goldstein, chief whlpper-ln of the Investigation, said yesterday afternoon. "But I am very glad to see the authority of the State Banking Department sustained.

Had the decision gone against us It would have meant a serious handicap for the State Superintendent of Banks In his efforts to expose such rottenness as there may he among the failed banking Institutions of this Slate. "We have waited patiently for this decision, confident that the Supreme Court would sustain us. But now there must be no further delay. Mr. Grout's responsibility la clear.

He has had his day In court, and we do not propose to permit him to hamper the investigation much longer. If Mr. Grout decides to appeal, steps will be taken which will probably Insure his attendance long before his appeal is finally decided." It is supposed that Mr. Goldstein refers to compelling Mr. Grout's attendance under the executive law by asking the Governor to Issue subpoena for him.

Attorney Cropsey has taken the attitude tbat Mr. Grout presence is essential before the probe Into the reopening period can proceed very far. Assemblyman Goldstein is expected to go to Albany Tues- COLD SUPPERS me Salad Dmtint by adding vinegar 5f 'cntesea and Grocery Store. lO.t tMS opoon with each bottle.

II Vf REAPPORTIONMENT PITS KRACKE Democrats Plan to Place Them Both in Same Congressional District. HOPE FOR LIVELY FIGHT, Plotters Anticipate Plan Will Eliminate One of Them From State Committee. Representative William M. Calder and Naval Officer F. J.

H. Kracke, It Is reported among local Republicans, are to be placed In the same Congressional district by the reapportionment, which Is to be passed by the Democratic majority In the Legislature. There Is a well-founded suspicion that other leaders will be shocked when they learn of tbe fun the Democrats are having In making up Congressional districts that are to exist without possibility of change for the next ten years. But the straight tip among the Republicans, who are In a position to know, 4s that the two Republicans who are virtually, sharing the leadership of the county win be put in the same Congressional district and left to settle their priority between themselves. This will furnish many complications, it is certain.

In the future activity of the local Republican organization. For, according to the present composition of the Republican State Committee, but one member of the committee can be chosen from each Congressional district. Kracke Is now a State Committeeman from his district. Calder Is not a member of the State Committee, but that Is only because he gave the place to A. E.

Vass, leader of the Eleventh Assembly District, after Calder, Vass and Travis bad ousted Timothy L. Woodruff from the State Committee at the Saratoga convention last year. Calder, through his combinati with Travis Vass controlled the election of the committeemen. Democrats See Both Amusement and Profit in Their Plan. With both Kracke and Calder In the same Congressional district, either Kracke would have to get off the State Committee to Calder's man have the place, or Calder's man would have tJ give way to There are other complications In tan district as laid out by the wh'ch will cause much more excltemejt among the Republican It Is believed.

However, the Democrats consider that t.iey will be a jocl piece of work, accord'ng to the reports 11 Caracul Coat Monday Only Lustrous (new model) Leip-ig dyed skins, very light in weight; brocade lining, fancy jeweled buttons or ornaments; long shawl collar, made with center or side vents.

If they can sj ar range the apportionment as to make Kracke and Calder rivals for tbs leader ship of a district. With this scheme as outlined, It Is certain that either will have to become a less Important factor In Republican State and the Democrats figure that both will be verr reluctant, to say the least, to step down and out. No details of Ihv reapportionment roup have been given out, but It Is under stood that Cal.lcr will have a little the best of It In the district. The Demo crats, It Is asserted, have dipped down Into Flatbush far enough to reab Kracke, who lives on Kenmorc place, near Woodruff avenue, but they bivu not taken all of his Assembly district. Practically all of Calder's Assembly district, It is said, will be Included in the Con gressional district, and this should give bim more to say than Mr.

Kra-ke. Hope to Break Up Calder-Kracke Peace Pact. The selection of a Republican Con gressman will be left to Kracke and Calder to settle between themselves. The Democrats devoutly hope that this selection will be made by main strength, and so break up the beautiful harmony existing between the two Republican leaders since Prendergast patched up tbe near break between them recently. It has been said all along that Calder would be treated with consideration by the Democrats, and.

If this Is true, he should manage to secure bis own renomlnatlon, while Kracke will not be able to control tbe nomination of a Congressman in the district In which he resides, nor In tbe Congressional District now represented by Redfleld, which Kracke at present dominates on the Republican side. In the formation of this district, which will be conceded -In advance to the Republicans, the Democratic leaders have been obliged to break up several Assembly districts. In the other sections of the county the effort of the Democrats has been to preserve the Assembly districts intact, as far as possible. Twelve Assembly districts are practically Intact as units of Congressional districts. The reapportionment committee of the Legislature will meet tomorrow at the Hotel Knickerbocker.

At that meeting, It Is expected that a map of the proposed reapportionment of Kings County will be shown. No Republican from Brooklyn Is on the committee, so tbe friends of Kracke and Calder will bave to wait for a chance to get exact Information until the boundaries of the districts are announced. Not alone are the Republicans In Kings County anxious. but those from the upper pert of the (State are greatly concerned over the re apportionment of their counties. If they are anxious to the degree that they would offer concessions to the Democrats, It may be that they will get what they want.

In the present state of the Democratic majority In the Senate, the promise of a Republican vote for the charter would be considered a satisfac tory concession. In plain language, the Democrats will trade reapportionment privileges for Republican votes on the charter If they can get them. TAFT POSTPONES DECISION. Wants More Advice on National Bank Problem. Beverly, September 9 The papers in the case of the National City Company and the National City Bank of New York, Involving the right of a national bank to acquire the stock of other banking Institutions, and other nice points of the national bank act, were sent back to Washington today by Presi dent Taft.
