Frank Ryan of Flushing for member of the executive committee of the State Firemen's Association, and Mc- Mahon opposed it. McMahon headed a delegation favoring the Indorsement of J. L. Ashraead of Jamaica. When Ashmead lost out bv a big margin McMahon took the floor and an nounced that his delegation would not! abide by the action of the caucus and would present Ashmead's name to the convention notwithstanding the action of the Southern Association.

McMahon had hardly completed his statement when he waB attacked by another delegate, who referred to McMahon as a "tin-horn" fireman. Other delegates in the building wisely prevented a general fight. Chairman Archer B. Wallace promptly Informed McMahon that he would either have to abide by the action of the caucus or leave the room. McMahon and his followers left the building in a huff.

The following candidates were by the Southern Association, which embraces Kings, Queens, New York, Nassau, Westchester, Richmond and Suffolk conutles, and were elected by the State Association convention today: President, Fred A.

The Committee on Resolutions today presented report condemning the ac- M.rm.L- nf rno i tion of Albert H. Marquis, of Queens, in distributing a circular which reflected on the character and integrity of some members of the State Association.

The. second Sunday in June was designated as firemen's memorial day. The State Firemen's Convention here this morning was thrown Into disorder after the report of the resolutions committee, which condemned the action of Albert H. Marquis of Queens County in circulating a pamphlet critlcisingThomts H. Merrill of East New York, charging him with never havig been a bona fide fireman and branding him a "featherbed" member.

The delegates from the southern portion of the State took Bides and Marquis asked the privilege of the floor in de fending his action. He was frequently in- enthal: "All that Ja.lt Rose has confuted fr as I have personal knowledge. Is true.

Subsequently we started for the home of Imra Gilbert for the purpose of mi a'Maut to discredit iioscn-thal. Later Jack liope joined us at Pora Gilbert's, and we drove away in the red car. As we reached Fourteenth street had a Mowiiut, to we disembarked and walked over to Sharkey's, where, follow ing Roue's suggestion, 1 tel phoned the Cafe Boulevard for another machine. Shapiro arrived in the gray Packard. "While at Sharkey's, Rose drew a cheek and paid for the red ear.

Rose Inviited Vallon ami myself to accompany him uptown, and we went in the red car. We rode to Harlem, where we expected to find the boys in a house on Seventh avenue, where we picked up Frank and drove down to "Bridgcy's place. There was crowd downstairs, and we went up to the clubrooin and had a bite of lunch and something to wash it down with. "While we eating someone 1 think it was 'Bridgey' eanic in and reported that Rosenthal was at the Metro-pole. The boys all left, but 1 stayed and finished that bottle.

"Rose staid with me, but got nervous and went oui. A few minutes later I called for a cigar and strolled over toward Broadway. There 1 found all 1 thought it was no plaee for a gentleman and walked away. Vallon came along very much excited and somewhat intoxicated. 1 went with him to Signal's house in East Fourteenth street.

We retired, and some time later Rose turned up there. He was in a miserable state, all excited, and wanted me to go to he baths with him. He was completely unnerved, but I was too sleepy, and after a few minutes he and Vallon went away together. Says He Didn't Want to Handle the $1,000. "After arriving that morning.

I telephoned Rose at his home in lloth street to come down to the Garden restaurant; teal Webber was there to give him the money for the boys. Jack didn't like the (l.n;le:i as a rendezvous and requested iti" to get the money, and meet him at Fftie.h street and Eighth avenue. I didn't want to handle the money myself and took Webber over io meet Jack. Webber handed him a package of bills, saving there was "Jack Rose was feeling pretly bad. He didn't want to go home, and I took hint to Harry Pollok's house.

There Jack collapsed. He was put to bed and asked me to get out and get word to Becker where he was. I called Becker on the telephone and gave him the number. I talked with Rose later and he t'drl mo Becker thought Aaron J. Levy light to be retained for the defense of Shapiro, the driver, who had been arrested.

I kept in touch with both Becker end Rose, and carried clfeering words from Becker to Rose on several occasions. Told Jack Not to Worry About Becker. "Tuesday evening I went back to Pollok's house to be with Jack. I was in an adjoining room when Hart and the notary came In. After they left Jack said to rae, 'Sam, I have been tricked.

It looks as though Becker was trying to make me the I told him he was just nervous and not to worry; that Becker had told mo that he was looking after everything and that all he had to do was to sit tight and that everybody would be taken earo of. "1 stayed thero a night and in the morning Jack was worse than ever. I had a good night's seep, but apparently he had not slept at all. He had read all the morning papers by the time I had finished my chop. Jack called my attention to Levy's statement about him In the morning papers and said that he had made up his mind to go to police headquarters and give himsolf up.

I told him that everything I was ail right and that he had better pnone Becker before ho did anything that might apoil tho pi ins he had laid ror mo protection of all.

PRICE FOR LICENSE WENT UP. Names of Several Aldermen and Politicians Brought Out at Hearing. More interesting revelations as to the aldertnanic graft in the granting of permits for newsstands was brought out by Harry M.

Rice, the acting Commissioner of Accounts, at the hearing which he conducted today. The name of former Alderman Joseph Schloss, who represented "Abe" Grubers district in the board, wag mentioned by Mrs. Bertha Seidman, under oath, as openly soliciting a financial compensation for granting a permit for a newsstand which she conducted In The first year, she sore, sne paid him J30; the next year the "ante" was raised to J25. with a hint that if she expected a renewal of the license the following year she would have to pay $500. The most interesting feature Is that the Seidman family lived in the same house in which Alderman Schloss resided.

Since then the Seidman's have given up their newsstand. They now conduct a moving picture show at Fulton street and New York avenue, Jamaica, Borough of Queers. Alderman Niles R. Becker, who was mentioned by Mayor Gaynor in his address to the newsdealers, succeeded Alderman Schloss in the board. Mrs.

Seidman testified that her hus band for fifteen years was a member of the Republican club of the district of which Schloss and Becker are also members at present. Colonel "Abe" Gruber is also a factor in the club. Gruber, Mrs. Seidman testified, strongly urged against tne payment ot a dollar and even added that stand privileges should be obtained on merit alone. Mrs.

Seidmon also mentioned the name of Albert J. Berwin, chief process server in the office of District Attorney Whitman and a former election district captain In Alderman Becker's district. In this connection Mrs. Seidman testified that she called upon Alderman Becker two years ago or Just before Becker was nominated for Alderman and asked Becker regarding a stand. "Mr.

Becker told me," testified Mrs. Seidman, "that he would not approve any stand privilege unless the 'captain of the election district was first 1 knew what that meant. "I then went to see Mr. William M. Rennet, the rtten Republican leader of the district, continued Mrs.

Seidman, "and he treated me very nicely. He tried to get me the permit but could not. also went to see Harry Mack, the former leader of the district, and he tried, too. but he afterward said that he couldn't do anything at all with 'that It was then I decided to go to Mayor Gaynor and I told him my story." Mrs. Seidman, continuing, said: "The Mayor told me that I didn't have to pay money to any alderman for a stand privilege and that all I was required to pay was the usual $10 a year for a license to the city.

The Mayor told me to pay that license fee and go straight ahead and do business, and everything would be all right "Eight months later I heard from Alderman Becker. He sent me an application with his signature." "Didn't you ask him for that signed application?" asked Acting Commissioner Rice. "No. He Just sent It to me that was all." "Were you "Well, I was at first, but later my hus- band, wn Is a member of Becker's club, told me that he had asked Becker for the privilege at the clubhouse." Mrs. Seidman then stated that she went to the License Bureau with the Blgned permit and obtained her license.

"You afterward sold your stand when?" was asked. "Yea, about three months ago. I sold and the routes to Mrs. Mischman." "Did you assure her that she would receive a new license?" "Tired of Being Bled, Got Out of Business," Says Mrs. Seidman.

"Yes, I said that I would take her to the Alderman and see If he would consent to do business. I got out of the business because I was tired of political graft and being bled and molested. I took her up to the Alderman and said, 'ThlB Is pood woman and I am selling her my stand and Becker said then that everything would be all right and gave Mrs. Mischman his word of honor. I then asked him for the license and he said that it was not nocessary." "Did he tell her that she could aot under the old permit?" "He told her she could oontinue everything all right." "Are you acquainted with Benjamin Straus 7" Straus Is the election district captain whom Becker stated yesterday he had given a stand permit to.

This permit was afterward negotiated for $500. "I just knew Straus because he bought papers from me." Joseph Seidman, husband of Mrs Seidman, was then ealled to the stand! testified that he met Strauss at the Republican district club In Becker's district and spoke to him about a permit for a newsstand for a nephew. According to Seidman, Straus asked: "What it worth?" Seidman said he was willing to give "couple of hundred." 'Oh. we are offered five hunflre for that Eighty-sixth street said Straus," according to the witness. "Did you know that Straus had he privilege of giving out stands?" "I knew that Straus and Berwin were twins in that connection," answered the witness.

Mrs. Mischman corroborated Mrs. Seidman. OPT TO WED IN BROOKLYN. (Special to The Eagle.)

Samuel found his father unconscious, and gas was escaping from two wide-open jets. The door and the windows were tightly closed. To Patrolman Ruege, who took him to the hospital, Altman is said to have declared that he was sorry he did not tucceed In killing himself.

TRIUMPH FOR WEST IN TENNIS DOUBLES Continued from Page 1. net in succession and the game went to the champions. Then Bundy won his service game and Touchard tied the score again by winning his. Lobbing featured both games, and then McLoughlln resorting to his smashing, ran the score to 32 in favor of him and his doughty partner by winning a love game.

A vicious cross attack at the net led by McLoughlln gave the next game to the Westerners, only one point being scored against them when Bundy drove out. Bringing off some spectacular "gets" Bundy won the seventh game on his peculiar service. The next was filled with hair raising volleys and interspersed by series of lobbing. It swayed from deuce to either side's advantage, with the balance In favor of the Westerners. Little slashed Into the net in an attempt to bring down a high one, and the game and set went to McLoughlln and Bundy at 62.

McLoughlln and Bundy Forge Ahead. The champions broke through McLough-lin'B service In the opening game of the third set. The second. In which Touchard was serving, was replete with volleys. McLoughlln was a whirlwind, and with the score 66 In points in favor of the Westerners, Touchard double faulted.

This made the score 1-all In games. Then Bundy won his service game, the champions getting only a single point on a place by Little. The Callfornlans tore through Little's service In the fourth, and won the game by the same score in points. It was apparent that Little and Touchard were slipping. The challengers had found their stroke and were sweeping their opponents off their feet.

McLoughlln was a veritable battering ram and won his game on service, bringing the tally to 4 1. Bundy came to the front in the next. He was at the net continually, leaping high In the air and swing ing his racket like a battleax. He and Mcivougnjm crashed through Little and made the score 5 1, Then Rtindv won his service game and incidentally the set at oi. New Pair of Champions.

After a few minutes rest the players resumed the struggle and Little be gan the service. Bundy became weak ana unsteady and drove Into the net on easy returns with the result that Little and Touchard won the first game. Bundy came back strong in the second, however, and won his service game, lying the score. Touchard, serving to McLoughlln, made the auburn haired wizard drive Incessantly to the meshes and won the third game. Then the champions battered down McLoughlin's crashing service for the next and went into the lead st 31, but Bundy and McLoughlln braced splendidly and brought the score 82.

Bundy looked worn out, but was leading the attack bravely. It was due chiefly to the doughty Californlan's close range net play that the Westerners won the next game and tied the score at three all. The youthful Touchard won the seventh on his service. He and his bald-headed partner were carrying tho fight to their challengers and performing beautifully. I-n the next game, with McLoughlln serving, the most spectacular rally of the match occurred.

All four men were rubbing elbows at the net and there were probably a dozen rapid-fire exchanges before McLoughlln lobbed to deep court and neither Little nor Touchard could reach the ball In time for a return. The game went to the Callfornlans and the score was again tied at 4 all. Little and Touchard took the ninth on Little's service. The Westerner's, led by the spirited attack by McLoughlln, brought the score even again at 66. McLoughlln and Bundy followed by taking the next and making the score 66 In their favor.

The Westerners here had LifM nA Touchard "on toast" and threatened to win the final game at love, but Touchard scored one point. Then with the score in points 4015, Little lobbed out and a new pair of champions had been made at 36, 63 61 76. WHITMAN CONFERS WITH BURNS ABOUT "SYSTEM." District Attorney Charles S. Whitman conferred today with William J. Burns, going over planB for the graft investigation which is to be started by the Grand Jury tomorrow in the effort to shed light upon the relations of the Police eDpartment with the criminal classes of New York.

It has been said that Burns has secured damaging evidence against policemen by means of "planted" gambling houses and disorderly resorts, and It was common knowledge, a few days after Herman Rosenthal had been shot down, that Mr. Whitman had called upon Burns to help him. plttiDg his brains against the "system's." The conference was held in Mr Whitman's apartments. The word has ton out that Burn, with startling Information, and this re- pore nas neen verified by a man In touch with the District Attorney. It Is asserted that the detective has gathered enough evidence to lay a group of police officials by the heels and bring several citizens up with a round turn.

The evidence bears upon the levies made by the police. through their agents, upon gambling houses and disorderly resorts the traffic between whom has been Interrupted by the murder of the informer Rosenthal.

The vanguard of the Brooklyn Saenger-bund, most of whose members are now In mid-ocean on the steamship Bremen, arrived in New York last night on the Kaiser Wilhelm II. Herman Koln, vice president of the Saengerbund, and Albert Zapfe of the ar rangement, committee, were the two members who hurried home ahead of their fellow singers.

Mr. Zapfe was most enthusiastic over the entire trlu this morning.

Mr. Zapfe told with great interest how he had been invited to witness the Held maneuvers of several Dragoon regiments and how he had the opportunity to see the Kaiser actually In command of his army.

He wrote that he had hired a home in the Southern city and he wanted her and the children to join him there. "Send on the furniture," he wrote, "and then we can fit up our new home in Charleston and live together happily." Gordon sent on the furniture and then came a letter from Chester, the last which Mrs. Gordon received, addressed frum Savannah, Ga. In that communication he wrote that he would come north and would himseit accompany his family to their new home. Mrs.

Gordon waited in vain for Chester. Then she wrote several times, but none of the letters was answered and she learned later that the letters, which she addressed to the general delivery, Charleston, S. and to Savannah, never were called for. A letter sent to his former employers elicited the statement that they, too, were mystified at Gordon's disappearance. Chester Gordon is a baker by trade.

Congressman William C. Redfield Is to be one of the principal speakers for the Democratic National Committee Id the campaign to elect the Wilson and Marshall ticket. This explains the reason why an attempt Is to be made to renominate him In a "safe" Democratic district for Congress. He is the object of much solicitude on the part of the national leaders, and it is reported that direct word has been received from Gov i ernor Wilson that RedAcld must be nom- lnated in a district where he can win without canvassing for votes. Mr.

Redfield has been asked to make up a schedule for a stump speaking tour of the country, which will keep htm on the go during the entire campaign. He is now engaged In making up the itinerary. Very little of his time will be spent In Brooklyn, as the Congressman's Ideas on the tariff are well known in his home section, and the national managers I say that the rest of the country should I hear from hlra. Therefore, he Ib not to run against Congressman William M. resides, where he would have to canvass the district very thoroughly in order to win, as the district Is very strongly Republican.

It is considered likely that Redfield will be nominated in the Tenth Congressional District, although the definite order to that effect has not been issued from headquarters. There is some doubt about the certainty of the new Tenth District from a Democratic point of view, and if it 1b determined that Redfield cannot win there, he will be nominated In the Eighth Congressional District. However, the Indications today are that the Tenth will be selected for the job of electing Redfield. It is known that the "Bull Moose" organization has cut a big hole in the Republican machine of the district, and that a strong Progressive, probably Jacob L. Holtzmann, will be nominated there.

Holtzraann is sure to have whatever Btrength the regular Republicans can muster, out In full force against him, as the feeling is running high between the two Republican factions In the district, and this is counted upon to help Redfield. Owing lo an alliance which he has effected with James P. Slnnott, his former foe in the Twenty-second district. County Leader John H. McCooey controls the nomination in the Tenth.

Sln nott told James leader of the Twenty-third, that Monahan would have his delegation In the Congressional meeting, but the betting is that Sinnott will not deliver. Monahan is rather embarrassed by a number of candidates in his own district, and although he has declared positively that he could not stand for the nomination of Redfield. who does not reside in the Congressional district, It was said today that he might do what McCooey wants.

The Democrats will hold meetings of their Assembly district committees tonight In the twenty-three districts of Brooklyn to designate the regular candidates for Assembly to be nominated at the primaries on September 17. In practically every case, a designation is equivalent to a nomination, as the organization Is in control In every district.

All of the present Democratic Assemblymen will be renominated, according to the district leaders. In the Third district, where a vacancy exists, due to the death of Assemblyman Michael J. O'Neill, the selection of a man to succeed him Is in much doubt and no one has yet been de cided upon. In the First District, former Sheriff P. H.

Schepps Not Required to Waive Immunity. Mr. Sandler made it plain that Schepps Is not to be prosecuted and that he was not required to waive Immunity, as was the case with "Jack" Rose, Harry Val- lon ana oriagey Webber.

Mr. Sandler contributed an interesting piece of Information when he said that before Vallon, Rose and Webber told their stories they were handed an "agreement" under which they were to waive immunity. They consented. The same kind of an agreement was brought to Schepps, who turned it over to his counsel. Mr.

Sandler protested vigorously. He said that Schepps had volunteered to help the District Attorney and that he stood ready to tell the whole truth. Sandler's argument prevailed and the clause having reference to immunity was stricken out. So the luxury-loving Sam may have a chance to go back to his social activities very shortly. The most striking outeome of "Big Jack" Zellg's striking revelations yesterday will probably be tho formulation of charges against several persons.

As each new witness appears before the Grand Jury the ramifications of "The System's" evil operations are made to stand forth much more clearly.
