Monro, defendant in a swindling case, was exerting a hypnotic influence over a witness for the state.

The girl when placed on the stand was seated so that she sat directly opposite Mrs.

Monro. All the time she was tes tifying her eyes remained fixed on those of the defendant. In that position she told a story the exact reverse of the account of the swindle she had related to the prosecuting attorney a short titno before 'There is something wrong with this witness," he told the court. "There seems to be some lnlluence here that is thwarting justice. It.

is Impossible for the state to get the truth out of her." In an Instant the courtroom was In an uproar. The girl wept hysterically.

The cabinet met with President Fallieres at his residence In Ramhoulllet to-day when a French to r.ermanv's latest suggestions for an aereement concerning Morocco was approved unanimously.

The reply was uum.n-u Calllaux and Foreign Minister de Selves. Since Germany's proposals were drawn after two long conversations between the German minister of foreign affairs it probably will be found that France has accepted the arrangement proposed regarding Morocco itself, the question remaining for settlement being the details of the cession to Germany In French Congo. Cologne, Germany, September 23 The Cologne Gazette today prints a Berlin dispatch which says: "The first division of the Moroccan negotiations will reach an end today. Even If the French Cabinet council wishes changes in a few points these can be made very easily. Reaching an agreement In the matter of indemnity is no easy task, owing to the complication of the matters Involved.

French private Interests play a role making a settlement of the details more difficult. The negotiators, however, believe that they conduct this second division of their work also to a satisfactory conclusion." KILLED IN CRASH OF CARS.

STOLEN IN FLATBUSH Man Charged With Taking Porch Ornament Is Nabbed by Officer. A VARIETY OF ROBBERIES, Servant Girl, Who Held Nine Jobs in Two Months, Charged With Stealing a Lot of Fine Clothes. It was a sort of Held day for all sorts and conditions of swindlers and crooks In the Flatbush court this morning, and incidentally It was disclosed that the burglars union, having stripped the Flatbush section of everything worth taking from the Interiors of the cottages, the lesser lights of the soft shoe fraternity have descended to the mean trick of robbing front porches of potted lubber plants and palms, and have even gone so far as to despoil the flower beds In the yards of their foliage. Two alleged offenders, who were charged with having gathered up belong ings of Flatbush citizens from the inside of the houses, were also arraigned. One of them was a servant girl who, it is said, took a fancy lo some furs and other elegant fall gowns of the latest design, and the other was a man masquerading as a Salvation Army worker, who is said to have tried to add to his private library by-annexing a collection of magazines of the latest vintage.

William Garbe was the name given by the man who is alleged to have made off with the plants. He was observed by Patrolman George Davis of the Flatbush station about 1 o'clock this morning, prowling about 83 Clarkson street. Davis says the man abstracted a large palm from the piazza of 83. and then went next door to 85 and selected a choice assortment of leaves of the luxuriant coleus that ornamented the lawn. Davis Interfered at this point and took the man and his horticultural collection to the lockup.

This morning he told Magistrate Gelsmar that too much Flntbush whisky, imbibed In celebration of tha Jewish New Year, had affected him He was held in $100 bail for Special Sessions. George H. McKay and Henry Mangels, the owners of the plants, identified their property and left the court with the greenery under their arms. This Girl Held No Less Than Nine Jobs in Two Months. An alleged fondness for fine clothes proved the undoing of Matilda Westcr-gard, a servant girl, who the police say, has had nine jobs in the past two months.

She did a few days work lor Mrs, Leah Hunt of 42 De Koven Court, wife of olio of the directors of the American VI11-graph Company, and Just after her departure, Mrs. Hunt missed a Russian pony coat, a fine fur muff, a blue gown, a black dress and a few other triffes, totaling In value about $000. Detectives Coutant and Kelsler of the Parkvllle station located Matilda In furnished room on Atlantic avenue and roroverei1 Mrs. Hunt's pronerty, which was li.ocrVir-d by her and her datigi.t Henrietta In court today. Matilda was charged with grand larceny and will have a chance to explain on Monday.

Frank Ford was the name given by the volunteer member of thp Salvation Army. He said he lived at 37 AShlnnd place, hut was disowned by a genuine officer of the Army who looked him over today. Amelia Ross of 731 Rogers avenue saia that the man came to her house and asked If he could install one of the little tin boxes, into which coins may be dropped for the benefit of the Army. While the woman of tho house was considering the matter, she says the man tried to get away with a pile of maga zines valued at $4. Ford will nave a hearing on September 27 and will have to languish In jail, unless he puts up $2,500 ball on a burglary charge.

union furnish music at the Coiisseum tonight. The Central Trades and Labor Union recently passed a resolution prohibiting any union musicians from playing In any of the entertainments given to President Taft if the Boy Scouts took part in the entertaining In any way. The objection of the union labor men was based on the theory that the Boy Sciutts organization is a budding militia movement that later will be used to suppress strikes. A compromise, however, was reached which permitted participation of the Boy Scouts and the union labor men, but the union's resolu tion was not reconsidered. JACKIES PUBLISH PAPER.

PASTOR RUSSELL IS LOYAL, But He Doubts the Faith of Those Who Are Not Members of His Faithful Band. Uncle Sam has decided to make an offl-cial test of the "Miracle" wheat sold at $60 a bushel at Pastor Russell's Taber- nacle In order that the faithful who have Invested their money, and a waiting world as well, may learn more fully of the astonishing merits of the precious grain. W. W. Dickson, chief of the postal Inspectors In Manhattan, has received a communication regarding the notice which appeared In Pastor Russell's semimonthly, The Watch Tower, setting forth the unusual qualities of "miracle wheat." He promises to set going the wheels of inquiry.

He Bays the Watch Tower notice may or may not represent grain that yields from ten to fifteen times the amount sown, and may be worth $1 a pound, as advertised. But he wants to find out. Accordingly he has mapped out a plan. It is likely that Inspector John N. Parsons, who generally conducts Investigations Into Brooklyn affairs, will have the task of testing the yielding qualities of "miracle -wheat." Pastor Russell said today that he had full confidence In the qualities of the grain, as noted in the Watch Tower, but he admitted that his confidence was based only upon letters written to him by "brothers" of the "millennial dawn" sect, and that he had never supervised the sowing and harvesting ol "miracle wheat." Inspector Dickson will ask that he be furnished with a sample of "miracle" wheat.

It will he analyzed by chemlaH In Manhattan. Along with the sttmple, Inspector Dickson's men Will find out who bought "miracle" wheat from Brother Dnckey, the watchdog of the cereal treasury, so that It may be learned what Interstate shipments wore made of "miracle" grain. Brother Dockey Says Supply o. Wheat Is Limited. 'astor Russell could not state today just how much "miracle wheat" there was on hand at the Tabernacle.

He telephoned Brother Dockey to come right over to Pastor Russell 'shome at 124 Co lumbia Heights. Brother Dockey did so. Brother Dickey announced that the supply was limited. It is still selling at $0 0a bushel, only there isn't enough for any one person to buy as much as two bushels. So Brother Dockey is selling preterablv by the pound, still at $1 a pound.

He had 20 Opottnds left a few days ago, but someone he thought It was another "brother" telegraphed from California that he must have 100 pounds. So Brother Dockey is reserving 100 pounds until tho Californlan Rends on $100 This leaves 100 pounds still In Bale at the Tabernacle, Brother Dockey was loath to name the amount until Pastor Russell gave him permission. An Kagle reporter yesterday bougnt one pound for $1. Brother Dockey wouldn't sell It for less, though the re-norter shamelessly tried to beat him down." Today Pastor Russell, In Brother Duckcy's presence, made an offer to the reporter. Pastor Russell Would Buy Back Reporter's Wheat.

"If you will bring that pound of wheat back I will pay you what you gave for It," said Pastor Russell. The reporter Indicated that his pound, of "miracle- wheat" was not for "It's pretty late to plant It-now, unless you send it down South," reminded Brother Dockey. Brother Dockey stated that less than 6 per cent, of nil the "miracle wheat" sold at the Tabernacle went to people other than Pastor Russell's followers. "Other people than my own, explained Pastor Russell, "wouldn't believe that this wheat contains extraordinary qualities. It is too much of a miracle for them to comprpchend." "It wouldn do to try to toot our own people, either," Brther Dockey interpolated.

"If we did that they would nevar have confidence in us again." Pastor Russell says that as long as Brother Bohnet, Brother Flemming an4 other "brothers" continue to display generosity enough to hand over the proceeds from the sale of "miracle wheat" to the society, the grain will be sold at-the Tabernacle. Regarding the advertisement in the Watch Tower. Pastor Russell says that, as Brother Dockey said yesterday, no guarantee is offered that "miracle wheat" possesses powers of extraordinary yield. Pastor Russell doea say, however, that he was responsible for the notice being Inserted in the Watch Tower and that he believes in "miracle wheat" and intended to have his readers, all over the world, fully understand that he thought highly of it.

Mr. Melish a Help to His Campaign. Michael J. Dady, Republican leader of the First Assembly District, is not politically dead yet, although at a meet ing In Historical Hall on Thursday night the Rev. J.

Howard Mellsh said: "We are met tonight to bury Colonel Dady." Dady, who was present at the meeting I was asked today if he had aanything to say in reply to the attacks made upon him Mellsh, Alexander M. White and the other supporters of Morris li. Ely In the contest for the Republican leadership of the district. Dady not only replied to the attacks In characteristic style, but he handed out a few charges against his opponents, in return, together with a couple of letters intended tu show the sincerity of purpose animating Mr. Ely and his friends.

"Yes," replied Colonel Dady, "I have something to say in answer to Mr. White only. I do not consider that what the other speakers said deserves any consideration. "The Rev. J.

Howard Mellsh seemed more anxious to attack me because of my Irish ancestry than because of my poll-tics, and I am informed since the meet-lug that Mr. White and Mr. Ely would mthftl- hnva naiH t'JKA hilt Mr. Mellsh make his speech. "John Hill Morgan, whom the organi zation which I represent, nominated and elected four times as memocr of As sembly from this destrlct, did not seem to tnink that I had changed uny sine then, but rather that I was to blame for the falling off in the Republican vote last fall.

Of course such a charge Is too petty to give any attention to. as everyone knows that this district fell off only in the same proporiton us did practically all other districts in the State. Denies All of Alexander M. White's Charges. "I dany all of Mr.

White's charges as follows: 'FirBt, that Mr. Ralston went to a cor poration and tried to stop the activity of any man against him under threat of loss of his job. He did ask a friend to speak to a gentleman in the Hamilton Trust Company in his favor. The same is being done with our friends by Darwin R. James and others in this campaign.

"Second, that we issued a fraudulent circular two years ago. 1 can only say that if in the haste of preparing a list of over one hundred names an error crept in that, it was only what happened In a circular which was sent out by Mr. White purporting to be signed by gentlemen of the Hamilton Club and afterward rlenleri by them. Third, that Mlk Hities of the Bowery did not attempt to vote any floaters in the Second Election District. "Fourth, as to Mr.

Kalston's down-wrlght refusal to recognize the Second Election District Organization. The General Committee holds Mr. Ralston re sponsible for the men he nominatos as election Inspectors and Mr. Ralston nom inated men whom he knew to be all right and a large number of whom had acted heretofore and were entitled to be continued. Fifth, as to the turning down of Mr.

Goodspeed. Mr. Goodspeed turned himself down by one of the most outrageous circulars issued under the most outrageous circumstances, and neither I nor the President of the United States could have gotten the men whom that circular affected to vote for Mr. Goodspeed In con. vention.

Some Things Mr. White Did Not Mention. "Now, in addition: I did not hear White say anything about trying to Influence a district captain to handle the financial end of his campaign in that part of the Assembly District known as the Tihrd Ward, if he would leave Mr. Dady. did not hear White say anything about a district captain of his in another election district in the Third Ward who had gone to a prominent lawyer and told him he would get several of the judges on the bench to give him references if he would support Mr.

Ely. "I did not hear White say anything about the capture from the Dady faction of poor James Lawler nor did he say anything about the capture of one George J. Hardy or an old-time friend of his who could tell the history of one of his campaigns. John Carney. "1 did not hear White say that when the campaign was on In 1909 and when the Campaign Committee was being made up and Mr.

Ely was authorized In behalf of the First Assembly District to name a number of gentlemen to serve on the Compaign and Finance committees from the Union Republican Club. Mr. Ely wrote a letter, of which I will give you a copy, which might be interesting reading to the Republicans of the First Assembly Dis trict. "I did not hear White say that Mr. Goodspeed, whom he said was turned down, had been using the stationery of the State of New York now that he is no longer a member of Assembly, for sending personal circulars and letters around to the voters to vote the Ely ticket and try ine to fool them by making some of the voters believe he will still a member of the Legislature.

"All of the above things have been done by Mr. White and his friends, and manv other things beside, of which I hold proof." Colonel Dady Makes Public Some Correspondence. Mr. Dady then furnished a copy of letter from Morris Ely to Alexander White, to show that Ely was not acting in good faith when he was asked to cooperate with the Dady-Ralston organization In 1909 by sharing the membership on the district compaign committee with the regulars. The letter, which was sent to Mr.

Koehl by mistake, is as follows: KI.Y, MILLINGS CHBSTKH. Attorneys and 115 RroHilway, N'ew York. October Mr. A. M.

White, Nassau Street, New York City. Dear Alec I am sorry that I rlld not have a chance to talk with you before going to Baltimore, but have referred William R. A. Koehl, whom you may remember as candidate for Congrens last year, to you for decision as to the appointments to the campaign committee formed by the Dady organization to tho Assembly Convention Saturday night. We have evidently stirred them up so that they mean to show new activity.

The Idea is to appoint as many as we wish from the Union Republican Club on the campaign committee. My own idea in the matter is that It would be better not to have our best men on that committee, if it should seem best to put anybody on it, in cae we vish to appeal for funds to conduct the campaign a'ong our own we are not gong to do this I presume ue had better put on the best men we have. I thtnk von niirbt dtenss the matter with Mr. and th'rk yni niight put the matter off. as would like to have a chance to talk it over with you before going Into it.

I will be back either late Wednesday or at any rate the first tr'ng Thursday morning. Hoping vou Br (n good shape agi'in. cm. very Irulv "v'c rT.Y. iir.

"Third Degree" Could Not Get Burglar to Talk of Himself. (Special to The Eagle.) South Orange, N. September 23 The kindness of Marshal Maguire to a burglar has so touched the latter that he made a voluntary confession. The man, who was caught trying to escape from a house In the village, was locked up under the name of Thomas norsey. He owned up that he is really Thomas Egan, and a professional with a long prison record.

County detectives tried to get a con fession with the "third degree." They failed. The marshal treated Egan hu manely and with consideration when he was turned over to him, and Egan sent for him and told him: You treated me right, and I want to see that you get the full credit for my confession." Egan, who is 52 years old, has spent twenty-one years In the penitentiary for various Jobs. CASTELLANE A BROOKLYN BOY Known as "Dare Devil" Before He Took Up Flying in Air. Tony Castellane, better known as "Dare Devil" Castellane, who fell from the height of 400 feet while making an aeroplane flight at Mansfield, yesterday, and was crushed to death, is a South Brooklyn boy. He Joined the Long Island school of airmen last summer, and had been flying in a Curtiss biplane, but before that was well-known as a trick bicyclist, -loop-the-loop rider, and per former of other feats which required nerve.

At one time he lived at Four teenth street and Sixth avenue, and at tended Public School No. 10. He started his career riding a wheel, and became a crack amateur. Later he took up trick riding, and was known as one of the best in the country. For a whole summer he thrilled the public who went to Paul Boynton's shoot-the-chutes by gliding down that steep incline on a monocycle.

He also took up the art of loping-the-loop, and gave exhibitions all over the country. Castellane was flying at the height of 400 feet yesterday when the plane turned turtle and crashed to the ground. His neck was found to be broken. Castellane'a wife witnessed his death. The body will be shipped to his late home here tomorrow.

EARL TRIES TO SETTLE STRIKE Men on Irish Railroads Are Not Obeying General Order. Dublin, September 23 Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, the Earl of Aberdeen, has taken hold In the attempt to settle the railway strike, and the lack of enthusiasm on the part of the men to obey the aeneral strike order promises to 'make his task easier.

BROTHERS FIGHT TO DEATH. Arkansas City, September 23 In a lonely spot near Lead Hill two brothers fought to death yesterday. Reuben C'an- trell, 35, was slain, and Thomas Cantrell, 55, is dying.

The fight was ie outgrowth ol a family feud, rag I since stated that your reasons for sending that letter were because you thought the regular organization Intended to turn you down for renominutlon as Member of Assembly from this district. Your purpose in forwarding this present cotnnuinicntlon In the envelope, above mentioned is perfectly pluln and can lie Interpreted In only one way, namely, that you desire to deceive the voters Into the belief hat these communications are received from the present member of Assembly with all the powerful influence which goes with that real and high office.

So will al others who knowingly, willfully and deliberately go on violating the law now that its meaning has been made so clear." Speaking of the possibility of the Beef Trust men following the wire Pool defendants and substituting a plea of "Non vult" or "nole contendre" for one of "Not guilty," he is reqorted to have said that the Government would oppose any such plea, and that he thought no judge would accept It under the circumstances.

"That plea," says the story, "was accepted by Judge Archbald ill the Wire Pool cases in New York City, and I have no criticism' to make of his action in imposing the small fine he did on the members of the pool.

The Jackson referred to by Mr. Wick-v ersham is Edwin Eliphalet Jackson, of 424 Clinton avenue, Brooklyn, a noted legal adviser of the great corporations, who was fined 145,000 by Judge Archbald in connection with the Wire Pool cases.

He chased them through the house, never getting near enough to shoot accurately.

The men escaped through a kitchen window. It was seen that they had made preparations for a hurried exist, for all of the chairs and tables had been carefully "cleared from the road." The postmaster did have a large sum of money In the room with him, and it Is fortunate for him that he slept with one eye open. While chasing them he was able to get a description of their clothes and size, but not of their faces. The men had previously been to tho stable of Henry Peterson, a contractor: had broken down his Btable door and had taken his best horse, which they had harnessed to a wagon bearing his name. They left Islip In this rig.
