FIGHT GETS INTO COURT Temporary Injunction by Stockholder Stops Reinsurance as Planned. CALL DEAL A "FRAME UP." The Empire State Surety Company's Affairs Are in Process of Adjustment, The National Surety Company of hattan has been temporarily enjoined from reinsuring the business of the Empire State Surety Company by Justice Aspinall of the Supreme Court. The writ of temporary injunction is returnague at 10 o'clock on the morning of August 30 at the Special Term of Court for the hearing of litigated motions. Judge Aspinall granted the temporary injunction on representations made by Fred G. Lemmermann, who owns thirteen shares of stock in the Empire State surety Company.

He is represented in the action by Jonas, Lazansky and berger. The proposal to re-insure the business of the Empire State Surety Company in the National Surety Company was acted upon by directors of both companies last Thursday afternoon and the offer, according to the original terms, was to have terminated yesterday at noon. It developed, however, that aside from the temporary injunction above referred, the American Surety Company, the National's principal rival, had objected to the State Department of Insurance on the ground that the deal for reinsurance was a frame- up for the purpose of permitting the National to secure the business of the Empire without allowing the latter to receive offers for reinsurance from other companies. According Deputy Superintendent Hoey of the State Department this objection was communicated to Mr. Joyce, president of the National Surety Company, and a request made upon him to extend his offer for three days.

In the meantime, it is said that David W. Armstrong, president of the Empire Company, had sent out telegrams to all of the surety companies in the country asking them if they desired to submit offers for the Empire's business. According to reliable report, all replied in the negative except one. This corporation. according to Mr.

Lemmermann's affidavit submitted to Judge Aspinall, offered to take the contract for such re-insurance upon the payment of a sum equal to 70 per the unearned premium reserve of the Empire Company and further to pay over to the company a sum equal to a substantial per cent of all premiums collected by it hereafter for a number of years for renewals of insurance policies bonds heretofore issued by the Company and to be reinsured. This, it is said, would bring to the Empire Company within the next five years between $100,000 and $500,000, which sums, it is further declared, would be lost to that National company, Surety if were the to 'be agreement consummated. with the Court Order Stops Final Action by National Surety Company. The executive committee of the National Surety's board was to have taken final a action on Mr. Joyce's offer to take over the Empire's business yesterday; but because of the injunction of Mr.

Lemmermann and i the objection of the American Surety Company, action on the matter was postponed until September 17. The board of the Empire Company was notified of this postponement and, of course, acquiesced. According to the tentative agreement between the two companies, which has now been temporarily held up, the Empire Company was to have paid to the National 68 per cent. of its unearned premium reserve. This reserve, on the pro rata basis, amounted to $307,999 on June 30 last.

In other words, the Empire Company was to retain 32 per cent. of this reserve to defray home office expenses. This 32 per centum works out at $98,559, which would have been paid in cash had the agreement been ratfied yesterday. The impairment to the company's capital reported by the State Insurance Department as of June 30 was $99,878, and represents a maximum amount According to Mr. Hoey, this sum has been offset by allowances to some extent, SO that with the proposed cash payment of 68 per cent.

of the unearned premium reserve and the allowances made by the State Department, the Empire's capital wiuld have been fully restored and a surplus of about $15,000 would have accrued in addition. The Empire Company was incorporated January 30, 1901. Its original capital was $125,000 and original surplus $125,000. In 1902 the capital was increased to 000. in 1904 to $500,000 and in 1906 to $750.000.

In 1902 and 1904 the increased capital was paid in at par, and in 1906 at 150, there having been $125,000 paid in to surplus on this last increase. In 1907 the capital was reduced from $750,000 to $500,000, the $250,000 going to surplus, and on May 23, 1912, the capital was reduced from $500,000 to $250,000 and 000 added to surplus. From date of organization the stockholders have contributed to capital and surplus account 000.000, of which there remained on June 30, 1912, $150,127. As the stockholders have received $215,625 by way of dividends the total loss amounts to $634,247. What the Contending Interests Assert Is the Present Situation.

In January, 1912, the executive committee recommended to the stockholders the acceptance of a proposition from William B. Joyce, president of the National Surety Company, offering to purchase the stock DEATHS. SMITH-Passed away, at his home, on Sunday morning, August 25, 1912, DAVID HENRY SMITH.

at $80 per share, providing 2,000 were deposited. The requisite number of shares was so deposited, and on January 30 last the new interests, headed by Mr. Joyce, assumed control. According to a prominent man conected with the Joyce interests, Mr. Joyce now feels that the old offcers of the Empire Company "put one over on him," in that they misrepresented the true condition of the company.

By way of excusing old management from deliberate misrepresentation, it is said that they were not fully cognizant of their company's condition. Mr. Joyce's offer to purchase at $80 per share was based upon the company's last previous financial statement, showing the company to be in a solvent condition. It 1s now admitted that the company was not solvent, in that Its capital had been impaired and that the Joyce interests but lately came to the conclusion that it would be foolish to send good money after bad by putting new capital into it. Rather than risk new money, then, the new interests decided to retire the company from active business and pocket their loss.

Mr. Lemmermann in his affidavit says that the interests control at least 46 per the Empire's stock, that Joyce, the re-insurance proposed is intended as a step preliminary to the dissolution of the company and that no notice of any kind was given to any of the stockholders of the proposed reinsurance or dissolution and further that no opportunity has been given to the stockholders to express their desires to protect their interests in the matter. He gave it as a matter of opinion that the time the original tender of reinsurance had to run was inadequate and was known to be so by the board controlled by Joyce, and therefore that the action of said board was not taken in good faith for the purpose of serving the best interests of the corporation but only with the sole object and intendent of enabling the National Surety Company to obtain such contract for reinsurance upon the terms stated above, although far more advantageous terms might be obtained within a reasonable time if proper effort were made in good faith to that end. DEMANDED MONEY GOT KILLED Cravello, Who Says He Was Hounded, Must Answer for Murder of Acquaintance. Frank Cravello, 40 years old, of 508 Henry street, was arrested after a long chase over back fences, this morning, having shot and killed another Italian, who is known only as "Jack." Cravello, who works for Brady Gioe, of 24 State street, Manhattan, stevedores, tells a story of being hounded by "Jack," who continually wanted a job or else money.

At 6 o'clock this morning a quarrel between the two was precipitated by "Jack," who demanded $50. A blow was struck, and then two shots were fired, throwing the Italian quarter into turmoil. Cravello's story, as he tells it himself, makes him the victim of hard circumstances, for the bullets from his gun were both effective, and it will be hard to prove that the act was in self-defense. The Italian says that for a very long time now Jack has been after him for a job, because he, Cravello, holds a good position and is noted for being a hard-working man. He has a wife and three children, and he supports them all very well in the little home on Henry street.

This morning Jack met him in front of 314A Columbia street, and there was a dispute. Suddenly, Cravello says, Jack hit on the mouth, and struck him again and again, and then, in self-defense, he pulled a revolver from his hip pocket and fired twice. Patrolmen Gilles and Bertholf of the Hamilton Avenue Precinct heard the shots and arrested Cravello. The injured man was taken to the Long Island College Hospital, where he died an hour later. In the Fifth avenue court, this morning, Cravello was held without bail by Magistrate Nash for examination on August 29.

CHOSE HANGING, NOT BULLET. Charles Schielea Found Suspended From Rafters in Barn. Prepared to end his life with a bullet if the rope failed, Charles Schielea, a German, about 50 years of age, was found dead last night and suspended by a rope from the rafters of Philip Schaffer's barn at North Vernon street and Miller place. Philip Schaeffer, who went to the barn at 7 o'clock to feed the horses discovered the body above one of the stalls. Young Schaefer notified the police, and Patrolmen Frazer and Studmuller removed the remains to the Hunks Morgue at Myrtle and Hooker avenues, by order of Coroner Ambler.

In the man's pockets were found a a a a a a fully loaded revolver and a a a a a a a a card containing the address, 124 Ashford street, Brooklyn. The man was well dressed and weighed about 150 pounds. WAR ON THE MOSQUITO. War has been declared upon the mosquito by the people of Flatbush and efforts are now being made through the various civic organizations for the extermination of the pests. Earlier in the season Dr.

Darlington of the Health Department, in an address before the Flatbush Taxpayers Association, described the work that had been done on Staten Island and in the vicinity of Flushing, L. for the extermination of mosquitoes by draining the marsh land in these vicinities, and stated that It WaS of contemplated by the Brooklyn Board Health to see that the Board of Estimate included in this year's budget $10,000 for preliminary work in that borough. To insure the appropriation being made, the citizens of Flatbush are making strong efforts to get as many names as possible on petitions which have been circulated throughout each neighborhood, tee, and at a meeting of the special. commitof which the Rev. Leon Harvey is chairman, held last night, it was decided to place these petitions in forty drug stores in Flatbush, together with circular matter, so that the attention of all mah be called to the movement, and all may have an opportunity of signing the petition.

It was further decided at the meeting to endeavor to form a federation of the various civic organizations for the primary purpose of working to better advantage on the question, which for the full summer season is SO vital to the our dweller in Flatbush. The plan is to secure 5,000 names to the petition before presenting it to the Board of Estimate when it meets early in October. N. Y. REALTY SALVAGE.

Bondholders Expect to Get Back Third of Their Money. The bondholders York Realty Company, which went the hands of a receiver last March, will get back about one-third of their money, according to a statement given out yesterday by the bondholders' committee of the concern. William H. Cooper and several others interested in the corporation have been indicted, charged with selling nearly $1,000,000 in bonds to about 1,200 people, although a receiver has been able to find only about $70,000 worth of property. The return of the money will be through real estate, which was put in the hands of a trustee by Cooper and other officials of the company before it failed.

The fact, which has Just been discovered, that many of the bonds of the company were bought on the installment plan makes the total loss less than was origInally stated. The bondholders' committee now has $273,000 in bonds deposited, and has a tract of land on which it expects to realize about $100,000.

BROTHER OFFICER TO RESCUE.

Arrests Italian, Who Professes Ignorance of Shooting on Upper Fulton Street. As the sound of two revolver shots WAS heard in front of 2121 Fulton street at 2 o'clock this morning Patrolmen Hanley and Edgar Vandermark of the Liberty avenue station, both on post, hastened to learn the cause of the trouble. Hanley was the first to arrive. 1 moment later he dropped to the sidewalk with a bullet in each leg above the knee, and Vandermark was left to take up the chase of the The pursuit through Ave streets before Vandermark caught upwith his quarry. When he seized his man the prisoner put up 8 stiff fight.

He W55 not subdued until Vandermark had inflicted nearly a dozen wounds with his night stick. The prisoner described himself as Tony Mascadere, old, a tailor, of 190 East 103d street, a Manhattan. He would not talk about the shooting and he denied that he had had a revolver. Vandermark, however, had seen the man throw something away in the long chase, and a search at the point where he had observed this disclosed a .38 caliber revolver with four of its chambers just discharged. Mascadere wouldn't admit that the revolver was his.

He was taken back for identification by Hanley, but the wounded policeman had been aided meanwhile by neighbors who had been attracted by the shooting. They called an ambulance from St. Mary's Hospital and Ambulance Surgeon Welch had taken Hanley to the hospital. The patrolman was in such bad shape that the doctors could not probe to determine whether or not the bullets that hit him had broken any bones. They fear, though, that Hanley's thighs were broken and that he will be crippled for life.

It was found that the shooting which may result so disastrously for Hanley was occasioned by a row in the saloon at 2121 Fulton street, kept by Giuseppi Aunciata. The saloonkeeper said that trouble had broken out among men and women in his place and that he had ordered them all out. As soon as they reached the sidewalk Mascadere, he said, drew his revolver and began firing. Aunciata does not know whether or not the bullets struck anyone and he asserted that he has no knowledge as to whom Cascadere fired at. When Mascadere was arraigned later before Magistrate Miller in the New Jersey avenue police court he still maintained silence about the sHooting.

The court held him to await the result of Hanley's injuries. PRENDERGAST CHARGES. Attorney General Returns Paper, Saying No Definite Charge Made. Albany, August 27-The papers that filed with Governor Dix last week alleging that William Prendergast, Controller of New York City, had audited claims of contractors who had violated the State labor law, were returned yesterday. The charges were made by the representatives of the Executive Council of the United Boards of Business Agents of the Greater New York and Long Island Building Trades.

Governor Dix referred the papers to Attorney General Carmody, who wrote the following letter of explanation when he returned them: "I find nothing in the papers submitted which can be called a formal charge covering the various points submitted, a copy of which could be served on the Controller as required by the constitution and the statutes. I should advise, therefore, that you communicate with the parties filing the papers and suggest to them the necessity of filing a formal charge before the question can be considered under the constitution. If such a charge is fled a copy must be served on the Controller and an opportunity given to him to be heard in his defense." FUNERAL OF REV. J. JOLLON.

Seven and a half years more in Sing Sing prison, after having finished a three and a half year term, was the sentence imposed today by Judge Townsend in the County Court, on Henry Huntenberg, known among professional burglars and yeggmen as "The Pie Baker." He had pleaded guilty to having once co-operated with Carlo Giro and Frank Schleiman, who were later electrocuted for the murder of Mrs. Sophie Staber of East Eighteenth street, near Ditmas avenue. Tth particular "job" for which Huntenberg was sentenced today was the burglary of the house -of Charles E. Tayntor of 4820 Fifteenth avenue, where about $3,000 worth of jewelry was stolen in the early fall of 1908. One of the burglars pulled a ring from the hand of Mr.

Tayntor and also hit him over the head with the butt of his revolver. No one was captured at the time, but when Giro and Schleiman had been convicted of the Staber murder and saw death in the electric chair before them they confessed to having also robbed the Tayntor house. At the same time they implicated Huntenberg, who at that time had already been sent to Sing Sing for another crime. NOT PTOMAINE POISONING. National Canners Association Investigates Ulmer Park Case.

Editor The Brooklyn Daily Eagle: In your issue of August 19 there was an article entitled "Ptomaine Poisoning in Camp" in which it stated that James Robins and his daughter, Florence, at Camp City, Ulmer Park, were made violently ill from ptomaine poisoning, and that the cause of the attack was canned herring, which had been eaten by the whole family. Our Bureau of Publicity fully investigated this case and find that Mr. Robins and his daughter had before retiring had a lunch, a part of which was cheese and grape juice. Dr. Kennedy in a signed statement given our representative states that to this he attributed the illness, saying that if it had been ptomaine poisoning caused by he canned herring he could not have so quickly give them relief.

The fact that Mrs. Robins and her son also partook of the herring at supper and felt no ill effects Is further evidence that the fish was not to blame. With these facts before you I feel sure that you will want to make some correction in an early issue of your paper. We do not believe that you can readily understand that publications of this nature, especially by a paper of such large circulation as yours, prejudice the minds of the consuming public and reduce the consumption of canned foods. During the past two years our Bureau of Publicity has investigated over 150 alleged cases of ptomaine poisoning, blaming canned foods, and in no instance have we found a single true one.

The National Canners' Association is conducting a campaign to uplift the canning industry and prove the purity, healthfulness and economy of our products to the consuming public. We therefore appeal to your sense of justice in granting our request. If you wish to verify the statements in regard to the case we would be very glad to have you so. Your very truly, FRANK E. GORRELL, Secretary of the National Canners' Association.

OFFERS TO AID IN PROBE. Aldermanic Chairman of Police Committee Learns of Graft in Own District. Henry M. Rice, the acting Commissioner of Accounts, demonstrated this afternoon that Alderman Henry Curran, the chairman of the Police Investigating Committee, would be justified in tuting an investigation in his own district regarding the sale of aldermanic permits for newsstands and other street stands. Abraham Wirtenberg, cigar dealer, of Thirteenth street and Fourth avenue, confessed on the witness stand before Commissioner Rice that he had received $125 for one of these aldermanic permits.

"I didn't ask for the money," he testified. "Gordon forced it upon me." Samuel Gordon is the man who conducted the negotiations with Wirtenberg to secure the necessary aldermanic permit. The Permit was issued in the name of "Abe" Weiner, because Gordon did not possess his citizenship papers. Chairman Curran, in his statement of last night, said that he did not approve the application for the license, which was for a fruit stand at 34 West Twentyfourth street, until he made a careful investigation. He said that he was prompted to give his approval because the applicant was a poor, sick man." Gordon, who applied to Wirtenberg for the license, is the "sick man." He appears be a very healthy specimen of "The Hebrew Charities Society," Wirmanhood.

the He weighs about 200 pounds. tenberg testified on the stand this afternoon, "sent this man Gordon to me. He said that he was a poor man and that he had three starving children. He down on his knees and wept and begged me to get him the license. "When I remembeer it now," continued Wirtenberg, "I could have wept with him." Wirtenberg denied that he had asked for any money for the permit.

Gordon, after the matter was "fixed up" Wirtenberg said, come around to his place to express his gratitude by presenting him with $125. Wirtenberg's testimony is flatly contradicted by Philip Juravel. He declared under oath that when Wirtenberg's services were first enlisted to secure the required Aldermanic permit that the latter agreed to secure it for the consideration of $200. "When the Aldermanic permit was signed," Juravel testifled, "Wirtenberg put it in his pocket. He did not give it to There was considerable dickering over the financial consideration, Juravel testifiled.

Finally Wirtenberg, he swore, agreed upon a compromise consideration of $125. It was explained that Wirtenberg held out for the original price of $200 because the permit had been promised to somebody else. Commissioner Rice will turn the testimony over to the District Attorney. Alderman Curran communicated with Mr. Rice by telephone today and offered to render whatever assistance possible to identify the men who were bartering his Aldermanic permits.
