EAGLE BLOCKED LINE. Inanimate Golden Bird Knocked by Lightning From Lofty Perch. A monster eagle, on the tracks of the Fifth Avenue Elevated Railroad blocked traffic for fifteen minutes late yesterday afternoon.

The eagle had been struck by lightning. It was a gold eagle, too, but not the kind, nor the species so much feathered, these high-cost-of-living days. It was an eagle, 6 feet from wing tip to wing tip, which a bolt of lightning had sent skimming from the top of the flagpole of H. V. Monahan at 503- 509 Fifth avenue.

The pole was shattered by the same bolt and pieces of it were picked up two blocks distant. The eagle lifted from the rails and lowered into the street by track after which the stalled trains moved on. 29 KILLED BY RAILROADS. List for Greater New York for July Issued by P. S.

TURN POLICE PROBE ON CONEY ISLAND VICE CONDITIONS Aldermanic Investigators Hear Much Regarding Failure to Suppress Evil Resorts. NOT UP TO CAPT. MURPHY. Precinct Commander's Efforts to Clean Up Apparently Thwarted by Officials Higher Up. Gambling in the general term is the least conspicuous of the vices at Coney Island.

The police this season in the Interests of the "public good" quietly squelched the big games which in past years were the chief attraction of the sporting fraternity. At the present and handbook here and there, but time may be a few "crap" games there, that is all in the way of gambling. But the social evil is in a most flourishing condition. These facts have been communicated to the aldermanic Investigating committee which will consider them when it meets tomorrow. Captain Murphy, the commander of the precinct, is not held to blame by the informers of the aldermen.

The captain on his own initiative has done his utmost to suppress this evil, which is something previous captains lacked 'the nerve to do. He did not wait for any orders from headquarters. Nelther did he consult his immediate superiors in Brooklyn. However, lack of co-operation has been a serious handicap to him in cleaning up the Island. The divekeepers simply laughed at him.

Apparently they seemed to be under the impression that they protected by influences in the Police Department which were more potent than Captain Murphy's superficial authority as the commander of the precinct. It is a matter of common gossip at the Island that Captain Murphy and his men have from to time during the present season escorted the female habItues of these disorderly resorts to the B. R. T. terminals with instructions not to return.

They flouted their tempt in the faces of their uniformed escorts by coming back the next day. Chairman Curran and his associates on the investigating committee will send their own investigators to Coney Island to examine and report on the conditions which exist there. President Mitchel, when he was actIng Mayor, had to do the same thing. He discovered that he could not rely upon the reports turned in by the POlice Department. The location of the dive places 1s known to the Investigating committee.

As with other parts of the city Chairman Curran has received letters from Coney Island which give A fairly good Insight into conditions Ag well A8 the names and addresses of these disorderly places. Conditions as Bad as During Mitchel Probe, From the information supplied, the Island appears to have degener- ated morally to the same condition In which Acting Mayor Mitchel found it during the frst year of the Gaynor administration, The evidence which his Investigators presented in many instances was not fit for publication. It was on this evidence that Inspector "Ginger" O'Brien, then In command of the Coney Island district, was missed from the department by Police Commissioner Cropsey, The same resorts that were during the trial of O'Brien are again running in full blast, The obscene conditions which existed then have apparently been renewed, The proprietors of these places, regardless of the activities of Captain Murphy, seem to have a guarantee of protection from some uniformed officials "higher up" in the department that they will not be molested, Who these men "higher up" are will be one of the features of the alder. manic investigation, Chairman Curran is anxious to And out the Identity of the man or men who have been thwarting Captain Murphy In his attempt to place the moral condition of Coney Island on a higher plano. He also desires to learn the influences which were behind the antee of protection to these disorderly places, Soliciting by women of the streets is openly carried on, If It is not on the public thoroughfares it is in the places against which Captain Murphy has been conducting A crusade.

The majority of the disorderly places are located south of Surf avenue, Commissioner Waldo's three raiding squads will not require a searchlight to locate them. For their information it might be added that they will witness some of the most bizarre violations of the statutes in the penal code in the early hours of the morning when all places except those which possess an all-night license are supposed to be closed. From what could be learned from the aldermanic investigators they will make It a point to emphasize the fact that the polloy of the Police Department in the future should be centralized on securing the evidence to convict the owners of these disorderly places instead of concentrating their efforts on the unfortunate women. They believe that the owners of these resorts and not the women are responsible for the existence of the present immoral conditions in New York. VOTING CONTEST FOR GRAND OPERA SEATS.

'MOOSE' AND LEAGUE AGREE TO FUSE ON LOCAL CANDIDATES Continued From Page 1. meeting, is said to be the probable choice of the "Bull Mooserg' for the nomination. No trouble was experienced at this announcement, as the league men in that section are strongly inclined to favor Roosevelt. Adjournment Motion Causes Uproar in the Eighth, In the Eighth Senatorial District, however, Senator James F. Duhamel, who waS elected two years ago by a combination of Democrats and Leaguers, had evidently not been given the tip as to what was afoot.

fusion He was declared that the report that a under way was "all nonsense" and that if the Progressives wanted him they would have to come him. A motion to adjourn the meeting without naming a candidate, in accordance with 0'Loughlin's instructions, was declared carried, in a great uproar. A number of the leaders at once left the hall, but a majority of the members of committee remained and held a "rump" convention. They selected Thomas F. Fynes chairman and Morris Rohllich secretary.

It was concluded that the legal meeting had been adjourned by the duly designated chairman, and SO a nomination could not be made. Joseph Wilkinson suggested that if the League leaders tried to nominate some one else on Saturday Senator Duhamel should be nominated by petition. The members who favor Duhamel's renomination are to meet again on Saturday and will attend the adjourned meeting. They declared that Duhamel would be nominated by petition, if in no other way. In the Fourth Senatorial District the delegates were unable to agree on any candidate to be submitted to the Progressives.

They decided to meet again on Monday evening at 609 De Kalb avenue to make a designation. The can didates suggested were William N. Morrison, David Masson and Arthur J. Morse. All the meetings throughout Brooklyn adjourned without pother any action.

Fusion Purely Local, Hearst Not Advised, Says O'Loughlin, County Chairman E. T. O'Loughlin of the Independence League said this afternoon that the projected fusion with the "Bull organization had been aron ranged in response to the unanimous vote of the executive committee meeting on Monday evening. All of the districts, with one exception, he said, favored working with the Progressives wherever possible, and the reciprocal agreement entered into with Woodruff met with the approval of practically all the members of the league. "Does Mr.

Hearst know anything about this arrangement?" Register 0'Loughlia was asked. "He has had nothing to do with it. It was the spontaneous expression of the desires of the members of the organization here, and I was directed by a vote of the executive committee to take steps to bring it about. If Mr. Hearst does not like it when he returns, I can only tell him that the great majority of the members wanted it, and that all." It is expected that about five recognized members of the Independence League will be nominated for Assembly by the "Bull Moose" committee tonight.

Eighteen straight "Bull Moose" workers be named in the rest of the county, and the league will probably indorse these nominations. SUFFRAGETTES INDIGNANT. Seizure of Lawrences' Furniture Arouses Their Ire. London, August 22--The British suffragettes are indignant today because sheriff's officers entered the country house of Mr. and Mrs.

Pethick Lawrence, two of their leaders, and ordered the furniture be sold in order to pay the the costs of the recent conspiracy prosecution. Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence were sentenced to nine months imprisonment on May 22, at the Old Bailey Sessions, for inciting, their followers malicious damage of property, but were liberated on June 27. The Woman's Social and Political Union today issued a statement declaring that the action of the sheriff's officers was in the nature of persecution because the windows broken by the suffragettes had been replaced by the insurance companies and the tradesmen had obtained a good advertisement through the affair, Dublin, Ireland, August 22-Mary Leigh and Gladys Evans, two Suffragettes who were sentenced here on August 7 to five years imprisonment on charge of wounding John E.

Redmond, leader of the Irish Parliamentary party, with a hatchet thrown at Premier Asquith's carriage, and of setting fire to the Theater Royal respectively, have started a "hunger strike." They are being forcibly fed by the jail officials. SECOND D. PROGRESSIVES. At a meeting of the Progressive party of the Second Assembly District, held last night at 202 Montague street, organizations were perfected in all election districts. A resolution offered by Elisha E.

Copefair, indorsing Edward D. Curran of the First Assembly District, as candidate for Congress in the Seventh District, to oppose John J. Fitzgerald, was adopted unanimously, Addresses were made by suffragettes--Miss Amy Wren and Miss Sarah Stephenson -and by F. W. Moore.

STEAMER NOT DELAYED. London, Aucret 22-The dispute between the officers and the Canadian Pacific Line did not prevent the departure of the steamer Mount Royal today, The new Union of Masters and Mates has threatened to hold up all the Canadian Pacific steamers in consequence of the dismissal of the Mount Royal's chief ofAcer, whose reinstatement the union demanded. One of the demande of the union is an Increase of pay for all officers. SHORTHAND RECORD BROKEN. All world's records for shorthand speed were broken here today when Nathan Behrin, official stenographer of the New York Supreme Court, and formerly official reporter at Police Headquarters, wrote on an average of 278 words a minute for five consecutive minutes.

The previous world's record was 269 words a minute. ROSENTHAL MURDER CHARGES PUT OVER Five Under Indictment in Court, but Cases Are All Adjourned Until Tuesday. GREAT CROWD GATHERS. Lieutenant Becker, "Whitey" Lewis, "Jack Sullivan," Shapiro and "Dago" Frank Before Bar. Five men were arraigned at one and the same time in Part II of the Court of General Sessions, Manhattan, today, to plead to an indictment charging with the murder of Herman Rosenthal.

Gangsters, gunmen and the former power of the police force, Lieutenant Charles Becker, touched shoulders in the space reserved for persons accused of crime. No such scene had ever been witnessed before within the jurisdiction of the State of New York. With Becker were William Shapiro, "Whitey" Lewis, "Jack" Sullivan and "Dago" Frank. Not since the days of the great Molineaux and Thaw trials has a courtroom in the Criminal Courts Building held such a crowd. Never before had such a collection rat-faced gangsters and gunmen flocked about the building and flitted through the corridors.

Twenty' policemen under Captain Tierney of the Elizabeth street station, and several sergeants had their hands full keepIng back the human press. Centre street was black with the curious who alternately watched the building and the high windows of the Bridge of Sighs. They were willing to wait for hours for the chance of one brief glimpse of Becker or eny of the figures in the tragedy. All classes were represented in the throng within the courtroom doors. There were civilian friends of Becker, sharp-featured adherents of the gang sters from the rabbit warrens of the East Side, and many who had just come to look and listen.

In one of the front seats sat an elderly woman who wept softly, unconscious that she was attracting attention. She kept her eyes glued to the narrow passageway leading from the pen with an intensity which stamped her at once as one who thad more than a passing interest in the case. She was William Shapiro's mother. A cloud of counsel hovered about. Each one of the five defendants was represented by at least one lawyer, some by two.

John F. McIntyre, chief of Becker's legal staff, made his first appearance in court and he took the leading part in the proceedings. All Cases Are Put Over Until Next Tuesday. All the cases were put over until Tuesday, after a brief argument, in order that the attorneys may have time to prepare such motions as they deem necescary. When the of the clock on the whitewashed courtroom wall pointed to noon sharp, the door leading to the pon swung outward and the five prisoners eltered.

First of the lot was Jack Sullivan, the newsboy pugilist, composed, grinning, head thrown back and boldly returning the glances of friends. Then came "Whitey" Lewis, "Dago" Frank and William Shapiro, Becker brought up the rear. His 11ps were pursed and he crushed a Panama hat in his hand. He was serious but confident, and stood before the bar, erect and unflinching, Mr. McIntyre, former Assistant District Attorneys John W.

Hart and Lloyd C. Stryker and George Whiteside were all on hand to look after Becker's interests. Former Assistant District Attorney Harford Marshall was Sullivan's counsel; Caesar Barre appeared for Dago Frank; Robert M. Moore for Whitey Lewis, and a clerk from Aaron J. Levy's office for William Shapiro, In another part of the building a Coroners Jury deliberated over the Rosenthal case at the same time, and eventually made the remarkable discovery that Rosenthal was dead--killed by a pistol wound.

Becker's wrist almost touched that of Dago Frank Cirofici, the weazened little gangster as the clerk of the court arose and, in a sonorous voice, called: "The People of the State of New York against Charles Becker." Becker stiffened his shoulders a bit and his grasp on the Panama tightened, but he looked steadily through his rimless glasses at the bench and the muscles of his face did not quiver. "How do you plead, guility or not guilty?" queried the clerk. Mr. McIntyre came forward and addressed the court. He said that his client had been indicted some time ago and that he had not yet entered a plea to the first indictment.

Becker's Lawyer Ready to Plead to First Indictment. The lawyer wanted to know if he could have an adjournment to prepare his motions. He said he was ready to enter a plea to the first indictment. "That Indictment has since been superseded by another," remarked Judge Mulqueen. Mr.

McIntyre said he did not know anything about that, whereupon the court remarked that a certified copy of the indictment was at that moment resting on his desk. "We are ready and willing to plead the first Indictment," continued Mr. McIntyre. Judge Mulqueen told Mr. McIntyre that if a plea was to be made be made to the indictment then before the court.

"The court refuses to allow a plea on the first indictment," he declared. "Then I respectfully ask your honor to grant us time to prepare certain motions which we desire to make," requested the attorney. Mr. McIntyre asked for two weeks to make ready his defense, but Judge Mulqueen decided that he must be ready to go on next Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock. This leaves Becker still with his plea unrecorded.

The next name called was that of Frank Muller, or Whitey Lewis. Asked if he was represented by counsel, he replied in a weak voice that he was, and that Robert M. Moore was acting for him. Mr. Moore then said: "The defendant pleads not guilty, with leave to withdraw." Mr.

Moore also put in a request for further time, and he was allowed until Tuesday. The same procedure was gone through with in the case of Dago Frank and the other defendants. WINNERS AT SALEM MEET.

At the request of Aselstant District Attorney Rubin, Louis Libby was discharged from custody.

Part of the Court of General Sessions was crowded when the inquest into the death of Rosenthal was begun. At 11 o'clock, Coroner Feinberg ordered the prisoners brought in. Jack Rose, Webber and Harry Vallon, who had been taken from the West Side prison, wero led in from an anteroom, with Louls Libby, all smiling and seemingly composed. Robert J. Rubin, acting for District Attorney Whitman, called Dr.

Otto H. Schultze as the first witness. Mr. Rubin stated to the jury, that, as the Grand Jury had in the case, he would ask the Coroner's Jury to only And out the cause of the death. Dr.

Schultze stated he was one of the Coroner's physician, was familiar with death from pistol shot wounds. He said he examined Rosenthal's body on the morning of July 16 and found that death was due to a bullet wound on the brain, the calibre of the bullet passing through the brain, was a thirty-two. Another wound was in the jaw. Mr. Frohman asked who identified the body.

Dr. Schultze answered that Patrolman Brady of the West Fo street station made the identification. Patrolman Brady was called and said he had seen Rosenthal's body in front of the Hotel Metropole at 2 a.m, July 16, and had identified it for the doctor. He did not see the shooting, he said. Other witnesses testified to the already well-known events that led up to the' shooting and then the jury rendered its verdict.

MAD DOG RUNS IN PLAYGROUND Children Panic Stricken by Animal Which Had Bitten Three Persons. A big spotted mad dog, which is still at large in the Eastern District, about noon today bit three persons. Policeman John Freestone of the Bedford avenue statio1 chased the dog into the recreation park under the Williamsburg Bridge, which was crowded with hundreds of children at play, and before the patrolman had an opportunity to shoot the animal eluded him. At the corner of Wythe avenue and Grand street William David, 51 years old, of 550 Grand street, was bitten twice on the left thigh. A few minutes later Stephen Labandis, 6 years old, of 281 Wythe avenue, Was attacked while playing in front of his home and was badly bitten on the right thigh.

Policeman Freestone arrived at this juncture, and while he was chasing the dog with his revolver in his hand the animal attacked another man at the corner of South First street. The last victim was Joseph Hanson, 22 years old. who lives on Kent avenue, near South First street. When the dog finally darted into the playground under the bridge the hundreds of children at play there became panic-stricken at sight of the mad dog and the policeman with drawn pistol. On account of the presence of so many children Freestone did not get an opportunity to shoot, and the dog escaped.

A general police alarm has been gent out for the dog, which is believed to be the same one that bit three other persons in that section yesterday, All three of the persons who were bitten by the animal today were treated Dr. Felner the Eastern District Hospital. TO UNITE ON JUDGES. County Bar Associations Urge Elimination of Politics. Albany, N.

August 22-Frederick E. Wadhans, sccretary of the State Bar Association, announced today that twenty-two of the thirty-seven county bar associations in the State have adopted resolutions advocating that the conventions of the political parties which will be held this year, unite upon the same persons as nominees for the judges of the Court of Appeals and favoring the removing of judiciary positions, as far as possible, from political or special influences." It is expected that the remaining associations will take similar action. Judges Vann and 1 Haight will retire on December 31 next. TENTH NOT FOR REDFIELD. Friends of Drescher Say Congressman Will Not Be Named There.

According to friends of Alderman Alexander Drascher, Congressman William C. Redfield will not be nominated in the Tenth Congressional District. The only statement from the leaders in regard to the disposal of Mr. Redfield is: "It has not been settled yet." All that Drescher would say when asked as to what his course would be, in the event of an outsider being nominated in his district, was that personally he was loyal to Mr. Monahan, his executive member, who is a fight to keep the nomination in the Tenth District.

The decision to nominate William J. Heffernan for the Senate to succeed Barth Cronin in South Brooklyn, has eliminated Hefferran as a possibility in the Eighth Congressional District. Cronin 18 a candidate for Congress, but the gossip is that either Herman A. Metz or Congressman Redfield will get the nonination. The leaders are all 44 up in the air." CHARGED WITH ABDUCTION.

OLYMPIC HEROES COME HOME Sheppard, Meredith and Lippincott Arrive on S. S. Majestic. Parade Plans. Three American athletes returning from the Olympic games were on the White Star liner Majestic when she arrived today.

They were Melvin W. Sheppard, James Meredith of Mercersburg Academy and D. F. Lippincott, who are probably about as well known a trio as can be found in the athletic world, yet no one on the steamer seemed to recognize them. Meredith hung up a new Olympic record for the eight hundred meters and a world's record for the halt mile.

He is as modest as he is swift, though, and neither he nor the other two advertised themselves aboard the steamship. They all said, very solemnly, that they weren't "broke." Sheppard, who has a job with the Customs House, was greeted uproariously by the customs inspectors on the pier. He is to be their guest at a dinner at Coney Island next Tuesday night. The three athletes said they were glad to get back in time the reception that has been arranged for the Olympic victors. P.

J. Conway, chairman of the subcommittee on automobiles, will have personal charge Olympic athletes, from early Saturday morning, when they will assemble at A. C. clubhouse, on Fifty-ninth street, until they have been formally received by the Mayor and reception committee at City Hall. The athletes will arrive at the clubhouse at 9 o'clock, and will be taken from there, in autos, to the point of formation.

It is planned to have the Mayor ride at the head of the moving column, in carriage or automobile, together with James E. the United States Olympic commissioner; Dr. George F. Kunz, chairman of reception committee appointed by the Mayor, and Sue preme Court Justice Victor J. Dowling.

When the athletes arrive at City Hall they will leave their automobiles and be received by the members of the committee, the Mayor welcoming them with an address. Some tickets for the dinner, which is to be held in Terrace Garden on Saturday night, are yet to be had at Roort 611 of the Pulitzer Building. A LAME APOLOGY For Incompetency and Carelessness of a State Department. This season of the year many, motor. boats go by way of the Erle and Oswego canals to Lake Ontario, returning by way of the St.

Lawrence River and Lake Champlain, It da necessary to obtain a permit of the Superintendent of Publio Works at Albany, A few weeks ago a permit was asked by a Brooklyn party for the admission of a motor boat to Erie and Oswego canals, The permit was obtained and the boat started on its journey to Syracuse, from there to go to Oswego, where the Brooklyn party was to go on board, At Syracuse the captain telegraphed the that the Oswego Canal was closed owner, that he would be obliged to go to Buffalo, thus disarranging all the plans of the owner and his friends, Inquiry was made of the Superintendent of Publio Works to learn why the permit was given for a boat to go on Oswego Canal, when, as a matter of fact, the canal had been closed all summer and was not to be opened. In reply to this inquiry Alfred M. O'Neill, the assistant to the deputy, replied as follows: "The superintendent regrets very much that there should have been any misunderstanding relative to the Oswego Canal. As a matter of fact the destruction of the high dam on the ern portion of this waterway early in the season, on which dam the navigation of the canal was dependent, made through navigation from Syracuse to Oswego the present season impossible. The greatest care was exercised to the end that the fact that there was no through navigation on the Oswego Canal should be noted on each permit issued.

If such note was omitted from the permit issued, it was due entirely to a clerical oversight. Several thousands of these permits are issued each season. Again rethe part of the superintendent any inconvenience which may have been caused, am, "Yours very truiz, "ALFRED M. O'NEILL, "Assistant to the Deputy." The statement of the official that great care was taken to notify holders of permits is ridiculous in view of what oc-1 curred to the unfortunates who used them. A similar experience happened in 1910 to the same party, but as the canal was opened in 1912 it was fair to assume it was opened this year.

It would have been a very simple matter! to have stamped upon the permit or to have inclosed a card with the announcement that the Oswego Canal was closed, Undoubtedly this informationwould have saved a great many people any amount of inconvenience and discomfort. The net glect and oversight in details of this kind by State and city officials is brought forcibly to notice by this incident. WANTS CHARGES DISMISSED.
