12 TITE BROOKLYN -DAILY LA CLE." NEW YORK. SUNDAY. JANUARY 15. 1911. HIS FIRST ILLNESS FATAL.

SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENTS. SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENTS. MARRIAGES and OEATHSjOEVIGE TO AVERT WRECKS iflRE TRIG TO SELL IF IT'S TRiED OUT BY I. U. Trinity Will Have $40,000 Edifice in Place of Present Frame Structure.

TO BREAK GROUND IN MARCH. Committee Is Now at Work ou Plans for Construction at Patchen and Greene Avenues. Trinity Baptist Church Is to build a new edifice at Greene and Patchen ave nues. This decision was reached last night at a meeting of the building committee, held at the home of V. ivetcham, 8t0 Hancock street.

A corporate meeting of the soolety will be held this week to take final steps In the matter, but there Is no doubt that the action of the committee will be promptly ludorsed. Plans for the new edifice were consid ered at last night's meeting, and those approved provide for a building to cost about It will be 80 feet by 86 feet, constructed of fancy brick and stone, facing Patchen avenue, and have a tower. Ground will probably be broken early in March. Harry Wade, chairman of the committee, presided at the meeting last night, and other members present were: V. T.

Ketchani, secretary; the Rev. N. T. Hafer, pastor of the church; Henry C. Burrows, James Hutclieon and J.

B. Wheeler. This committee was appointed late In October and has worked earnestly and harmoniously. A meeting was held on Friday night last and mo3t of the details arranged. The meeting last night was held for the purpose of completing plans, so that prompt action might be taken by the church society.

At Its close a member of the committee staled that the new church would be a credit to Brooklyn. The funds were already In hand, and work would be rushed, he said. About 1,000 persons will be accommodated in the main auditorium. Sunday school quarters, designed upon the most modern lines, will be located In the basement. Trinity now worships a frame structure at Greene and Patchen avenues, and it is planned to continue services In a part thereof until the new church is completed.

It may be necessary, however, to find temporary quarters. There has been a steady, healthy growth in membership since the Rev. N. T. Hafer was called to the pastorate, about a year ago.

At the meeting held in October labt, when the building committee was named, a suggestion was made that the McDon-ough Street Baptist Church might be Induced to consolidate with Trinity. The Baptist Church Extension Society favors this plan. Representatives of both churches met, but failed to agree on consolidation, however. The MeDonough street people were of the opinion that Trinity Church ought to dispose of Its property and move to their church. Trinity held that it had a more central location, being within a block of Broadway.

The late Rev. Dr. 8. Olfford Kelson made an effort to bring (hose two churches together when he was pastor of Trinity, some years ago. but with no better results than those of recent date.

Trinity has a site 126 feet by 8n feet and Its property Is valued at $36,000. CHARGES ASSAULT IN A CAFE Miss Morris Wanted to Take So cial Class, as in St. Louis. Says She Is Niece of Police Justice in Missouri Metropolis Has Charles Trenaman Arrested. "I am from Missouri, but they do not have to show me," said Miss Viola M.

MANY ENGINEERS PRESENT Train Running at High Speeds Stopped Quickly Demonstration Is Considered a Success.

A new device designed to prevent a train from running past a block signal set against It was tested yesterday af ternoon at Jamaica by Thomas T. Obal- oner of Manhattan, who is the Inventor, In the presence of engineers of the Long Island Railroad Company and of the Public Service Commission. The device operates In connection with a train's airbrakes, working upon the same principle as do the "trips" In the subways of Manhattan, except that la overhead Instead of standing upon the roadbed, and is adapted for use out ef doors. With Mr. Chaloner were Frederick P.

Simpson, deputy commissioner of Jurors of York County, and Frederick O'Byrne, a Manhattan lawyer, who are Interested with him in the device; W. H. Freeman of the engineering department of the Public Service Commission, E. M. Weaver of the signal engineering department of the Long Island Railroad; P.

H. of Chicago, representing a Western signal company.and Dr. Edwatd Walt7.relder, representing the Allied Hospitals of New York City, and also, 't Is said, the Travelers Insurance Company, Old Southern Division Scene of the Tests. The tests were made along the old Southern Division of the Long Island Railroad, running from Jamaica to Far Rockaway. At one end of the track stood a supporting post.

From a cross-piece at the top hung a rigid steel arm. The arm can be set automatically or by an operator. The other part of the device Is placed In the locomotive- of a steam train or the forward car of an electric train. A long metal arm connecting with the airbrake lever is run through the roof of the car or locomotive, ending In a cross-piece about two feet above the roof. When the brake is released the arm ex tends at.

right angles to the top of tha ear. When this arm strikes that hanging down from the wooden support beside the track. It swings It around, setting the air. brakes hard. They have to be released by the engineer or motor-man of the train before the brakes are relaxed, inventor Chaloner claims that his device cannot be affected by weather conditions or by any but the deliberate action of a railroad employe.

Two Cars Used in Trying Out Apparatus. Two cars, the forward one equipped with airbrakes, were used in the tests. The first test was made with the cars traveling at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour. The brakes set instantly and the cars stopped within 75 feet of the (rack-side device. For the second lest the cars moved at the.

rate of thirtv-flve miles an hour. All motion had stopped within 10U feet of the 'device. The cars were halted within 1(10 feet tit the ihird test, after thev had traveled halt a mile at the rate of about forty-five miles an hour. All present expressed themselves as perfectly satisfied with the tests One suggested that If the New York Central train (hat was wrecked at Hatavlo on Friday had been equipped with one iu 1 ne uevicea tne wrecK would have been averted.

Procession Was Passing Saloon in Which Italian Vendetta Was in Progress Mourners Flee. A fusillade of pistol bullets caused a panic among the' mourners of a funeral tc-ession In Mulberry street, Manhattan, yesterday afternoon. For a time the hearse was bailed and sonic of the wno were acting fled to nearby -houses to escape possi bl hurt. The shooting took place In the saloon of Uiigt 1 nstanl, at Grand and Mulberry sire-is. After the smoke had cleared away, Annobeil Marianacclo, years old, rock driller, S3 street'.

was found lying unconscious on the floor. He bad gunshot wounds in the left breast the back of the neck and a third under the left arm. Dr. Keeffe, who took him to St. Vincent's Hospital, said the man had a bare chance to recover.

The porter in the saloon told the police that the Injured man and Pristanl had a quarrel and that Prlstant had flred the shots Pristanl afterward decamped and the police are looking for him. At the moment the shooting took place the funeral procession had Just crossed Grand street. The hearse was In front of the door of the saloon when the door ivt't-burst open and elRht or ten men tumbled out in wild disorder, calling for the police. The band was playing a dirge, and when the shots were repeated the musicians threw awa- their instruments and sought safety In flight. Many of the mourners, some of them women, left their carriages and took to their heels.

With the arrival of the police peace was restored and the funeral went on Its way Purchaser Sought as Liquidation Is Decided Upon by the Stockholders. OLD COLLATERAL IS. BLAMED Heritage From Pre-Panic Operations nnd Recent Bank Suspensions Caused Closing. Efforts to turn the Brooklyn Bank over to seme other financial Institution were made yesterday, It was learned last night, after the bank which ls'at Fulton street and Flatbush avenue, and Is not to be confused with the Brooklyn Savings Bank at Clinton and streets had declared that It could no longer continue and would wind up Its affairs. The efforts will be continued next week, and the men who have the Institution In charge hope to be able to sell out, either with or wlthouth deposits, to some big bank which Is Interested In establishing branches In Brooklyn.

The site of the in stitutlon Is regarded as being exception ally good and It Is hoped that a sale can be effected. Old collateral that has been held by the bank since before the panic of 1907 led to the decision of the stockholders yes terday to liquidate. The State Banking Department had been somewhat con cerned over the nature of the securities for some time, It was learned last night. but had not Instructed the bank to write the paper off, In view of the fact' that the amount was sufficient to wipe out the surplus of the bank and put It In a position where its closing would be a matter of law and of necessity by the department. A few days ago.

however, the banking department served notice on the Brook lyn Bank that It would have to redeem Its slow securities or close up. The amount of the slow collateral was put last night, by an officer of the bank, at about (50,000. Vice President Huidman Tells Why Deposits Were Lacking. 'The situation," Vice President Hurd- man said last night, "was just as fol lows. This bad paper, carried over from UI07, was on the books.

If our deposits had gone up we could easily have assimilated the amount and no one would have been the wiser. And at first this seemed probable, but Just as our deposits were rising the Latayette I rust Company clos ing came along. Down went the deposits. Then they rose. Along came the Union Bank and another loss of confidence.

Down went the deposits. We were just getting on our feet when the failure of the Northern Bank, in New York, brought about a condition in which deposits did not come in. "A bank cannot get along forever on falling deposits. We have about $500.0 In deposits. That entitles us to loan $500,000.

The interest on this at six per cent, is $30,000, though of course we did not get six per cent, on everything. You can see how close a margin there Is for actual expenses." It was said last night that the death of Venette F. Pelletreau, the banker wno was thrown and killed by a polo pony some months ago, affected tho Brooklyn Bank seriously. One of the slow assets of the bank is a $300,000 equity in the old Post Building, at Broadway and Fulton street. Manhattan.

It Is said that Pelletreau was negotiating for the purchase of this property one? was planning a big Improvement when he was suddenly killed. Some real estatn I hat Is good but un marketable at present, besides this property, i on the bank's books. Will Begin Paying Off Depositors To-morrow. To-morrow morning the Metropolitan Trust Company, which has assumed the deposit llobilities of the instiiution. will begin paying off creditors.

The trust of ficer in charge will be Mr. Hurdman, and he is authority for the statement that there is ample money to pay all deposits In full. Mr. Hurdman does not expect that people will be In a hurry to get their accounts as a liquidating process, uudec the Xew York state law, is absolute security for payment. It is secured by tho banking department, inasmuch as if payment could not be made the department would not permit the procedure.

Willis Vernon Cole Held in $500 Cash Bail First Reader Strickler Knows No Cause for Arrest. Willis Vernon Cole. 23 years old, who lives at the Hotel Walton, at Seventieth street and Columbus avenue.

Manhattan, and who described himself as a Christian Scientist, was arrested in his luxurious offices on the ninth floor of the Brunswick building, at 225 Fifth avenue, Manhattan, yesterday afternoon, by Central Office Detectives Reich and Lauk-man. Cole is charged with violating Section 174, Chapter 49, of the Health Laws of the State of New York, of the year 1003. The evidence against him was secured by Mrs. Isabella Goodwin, a police matron. When the detectives appeared at Cole's offices they found several men and women waiting to see him.

One of the men, whose appearance marked him as man of substance, was greatly perturbed when he wa3 told that. Colo was under arrest. He offered the detectives the use of his automobile to take the prisoner to headquarters, and the offer was accepted. Cole got ready to furnish his own bail. He showed the detectives a large quan tity of stocks and bonds which he wished to offer as bail.

He was astonished to hear that his valuable paper would not be accepted, and with the permission of the detectives the automobile went first to the Xight and Day Bank, where Cole drew out $500 In cash. The cash bail was later accepted after Cole had been ar ralened at headquarters. Virgil O. Strickler. First Reader of the First Church of Christ, Scientist, said last night in his home, at 44 West Ninety-sixth street, that Mr.

Cole was a properly qualified Christian Science prac titioner, and he seemed much concerned over the case. Ho said Mr. Cole was a fine, clean young man, and he could not 'understand the arrest, as it was no or-fence to be a Christian Science practitioner. He said he had heard nothing before as to the action of the police with regard to Cole and did not know that they had been seeking evidence against him. He seemed anxious to know the disposition of the case In court.

He made the trip in a hack and walked from hie house to the carriage unassisted. Pneumonia developed Immediately, and he became delirious two hours after entering the hospital.

Dismissed for Sleeping When He Should Have Been on Duty. Lieutenant John Lake, once th dreal of New York policemen because he was one of the most persistent of the old "sboo-fly" roundsmen who brought many patrolmen to trial for neglect of duty, was himself "broken" yesterday and al though he had served 22 years on the force, cannot secure any pension. Lake is the lieutenant who was found sleeping on a dek in a side room of Harbor Squad A's headquarters at the Battery on New Year's Eve by Deputy Commissioner Driscoll and Inspector Schmlttberger.

It was 11:20, according to the testimony brought out at the trial. when Driscoll and the Inspector entered the station house and found Lake, who should have been at the deck on duty, asleep In another room. A patrolman had been "eft in charge of the station. Lake, It was charged, had antedated his blotter ana entered In it that the outgoing platoon at 12 P.M. had been properly Inspected and everything else O.K.

These entries in the blotter were dated midnight and had been made up some time before Lake was found sleeping. Lake asked to be retired, on pension, but this waa refused by Commissioner Cropsey, who dismissed the lieutenant from the force. Something more than ten years ago Lake was the dread of the uniformed po-lkemen of the entire city. As a "shoo fly" roundsman Lake was under a roving commission and In plain clothes went where he would throughout the city, spying on policemen and looking for "cups" who were negligent In duty. Many met were brought, to trial bv him for nesleet of duty ana some of them received severe penalties.

Lake had been on the force twenty-two years, three years short of the regular pension service. Inasmuch as he had been -on the force more man twenty years Commissioner Cropsv could have retired him with pension, but tli the Commissioner refused to do. NEW QUARTERS READY But Domestic Relations Court Hasn't Yet Moved Into Charities Magistrate Kempner Thinks It Will Be a Month Yet, if at All. Superintendent of Buildings H. L.

Woody now has the new Domestic Re lations Court room, in the basement of the Charities Building, on Schermerhorn street, completed and ready for occupancy at the pleasure of the court. Chief Magistrate Kempner was asked yesterday when they expected to move the court from the Third District Court l. that he thought about the middle of February. The delay seems to be occasioned by the hone that the Bureau of Char es yet find use for this room In the imaomo.ii nr i. hi.n,iin tn.

it own Purposes, as it is understood it needs all the room it can get. It also seems that this new courtroom for the Domestic Relations Court Is not as desirable to the court, as It was expected it would be. The chief objection, if there be one. Is, apparently, lo the fact that It is in the ha mint, where the ventilation cnnditli are not as good as In other court rums. Chief Magistrate Kempner would not make any criticism of (he new court rooms, yesterday, but.

did say that they were entirely pleased with conditions In the Third District Court, where they are now. He added, also, that the present location Is very convenient in every way. Unless the Charities Department desires to utilize the basement room for Itself, it Is believed that (he Domestic Relations Court will ultimately move. SCHOONER SUNK IN FOG. Narrow Escape of Captnin and Crew of Six in Collision Off Bay Ridge.

Struck by Liner Texas. The captain and six men of the crew of the four-masted schooner George W. Trill tt had a narrow escape yesterday afternoon when they were run down by the Scandinavian liner Texas near the Rod Hook flats off Bay Ridge. The tug Maria Hoffman of the Cahill Towing Line, which was taking the schooner, loided with 1.200 tons of cement, from her berth in Jersey City to her anchorage off the flats, took off the crew a minute or two before the Trultt sank. The dense fog that enshrouded the harbor was responsible for the accident.

The Texas, which got In yesterday morning from Copenhagen, was going up the river at the rate of four or five miles an hour, her horn sounding at frequent intervals, but the officers did not see the tug and her convoy until they appeared under her bow. There was a quick signal to the engine room of the Texas and the steamer slowed down, but nol In time to avert, a collision. The bow of the Texas struck the schooner on her port bow, Just aft of the fore rigging, tearing a great hole In her side. Captain Wilson of the Hoffman saw the Texas and slipped his tow line loose and reversed his engines so that he managed to go astern of his convoy Just as the crash came. Captain Elzey was standing near the steering wheel of the schooner, and when he saw the water rushing Into his vessel through the bow he yelled to his men to drop their work and board the tug.

They ran aft and scrambled aboard the Hoffman safely. All this happened too quickly for the officers of the Texas to lower a boat. The Truitt was loaded for Jacksonville, and her captain intended to anchor on the flats until the fog gave some sign of lifting.
