TWO COMPLAINTS AGAINST HIM. si FIVE SHIPS FOR PORTO EIC0. STILL HUNT VS, OHITORY TIKES in CI? fl CUED OFF ffi Mi fiUTQ ANGRY jority of the men w-ho own and operate automobiles are thoroughly familiar with their cars and are capable of keeping them under perfect control at all limes. They have no desire to violate the laws or ordinances of the villsges. Rut there Is no disputing the fact tbiit there are some men who do not even know the names of the different parts of their automobiles, who, in many instances, buy automobiles, take one-half hour's lesson and then Invite their family and friends out touring and when they toot their horns expect every one to clear the way.

Then they open the throttles of their carB and run them at full speed. As the law stands to-day any person can buy and operate an automobile and any one can procure a chauffeur's badge entitling him to run a car without any examination or questioning by any one is to his previous knowledge or experience with regard to automobiles. In my opinion there should be a law passed making it compulsory before any person be allowed to operate an automobile to pass an examination as to his fitness to operate it. as is now done In Paris. In many ot the accidents If all the facts were known the automobile has not been under perfect control.

The operating of an automobile Is a pastime which makes a man frequently forget everything else in the fascination of running a car. This Is shown in the busy section of the city. At the lower end of the Ocean Boulevard Coney Island, there are three trackB to cross and in my opinion it is a dangerous spot and should be guarded by an officer at all times, particularly at night, during the summer season, when travel iB heavy. There ought to be some system of signals at that point." SB VII III! SAYS Miss Doran In "Ante-Mortem" Statement Accuses Little Philip Bishop. THE DOCTORS SAY SHE WILL DIE lad'i Mother Says Shop Keeper Had Been Warned Not to Give Youngster Cigarettes.

The (doctors at the Brooklyn Hospital, where the Wirl Is lying, say that she cannot recover (from her Injury, and her death Is only a tiuestion ot time. The young woman shows Imarvelous vitality though, and seems to un derstand her condition.

2 ycar3 old, claim ing a home on WUloughby avenue, near Sumner, was charged with having passed worth less clfhcks In the Gates avenue court to day and held for examination. He was ar rested last night by Court Officer Hauertt, while Court Officer Mohrmann was also look ing for him on a similar charge. To-day there were two rnirnjlainls I'gahm Lock hardt, and the police say they would not be surprised if there were others later. Solomon Aarons, of 42 Welifleld sireet. 0 tailor, charged that Lockhardt made a pur chase in his place, tendering in payment a check for $16 on the Hamilton Treat Com pany and received In change $11 In cash The check was returned murkrd "No account." Henry Smith, who has a hat storA at isfis Fulton street, said Lockhardt had elven him a check of no account drawn on the Lincoln National Bank of New York, August 3.

The amount was $5.25. Lockhardt is said to be well connected. Nobody came forward to furnish bonds this morning and he went to Jail to await examination. A CORRECTION. Article Should Have Eead "Mutual Re serve life," Instead of Mutual Life Insurance Company.

Id an article published In the Eagle of Friday, July 28, stating that "the policy holders of the Mutual Life Insurance Company have received a statement of the board of directors of the company, through Charles v. Camp, secretary, which was apparently made as an offset to the report of the ex amination by the New York Insurance De partment, the word Reserve" was, by a typographical error, left out of the nnmn of the insurance company, which should have read "the Mutual Keserve Life Insurance Company." Ihe Mutual Life Insurance Company has not been criticised by the State Insurance Department, and Its surplus amounts to away up In the millions. The Eagle has learned that agents of other companies are making improper use ot the error which was unfortunately made and which Was printed in a fow copies of the edition of July 28 before It was and corrected. For that reason the retrac tion made In the issue of July 29 is repeated. SUMMONS EMPLOYER TO COURT.

Noldeke, who says he was employed by Arps, obtained a summons for the hotel man, returnable yesterday, but Arps did not respond. He sent a lawjer to represent him. Noldeke said ho would like to make a charge against Arps and Magistrate Furlong asked him what he had done to him. "He said I gave his beer and whisky to pay my Insurance," replied Noldeke.

"And you feel this Is reflecting on your character? Very well, Mr. Arps will have to come to court the next time. Do out and make your complaint." "I object Mr. Arps Is a respectable hotel keeper," Interjected the lawyer representing the hotel man. The case will be heard oa Wednesday next.

THE POLITE LETTER WRITER. Examples of a Correspondence Between Taxpayer and a Commissioner of Public Works. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: I submit herewith correspondence between a taxpayer and a borough official. The last letter might have been written by John V. McKane to one legal gentleman, William J.

Gaynor, when the same was pestering him about certain "trivialities" at Gravesend. I have noted your Interest In the same "trivial" masters. It Is generally a thankless job to call down our official servants, but It is rather unpleasant to be Insulted by them. HENRY B. DAVENPORT.

S75 Pearl street, Brooklyn, August 16, 1905. Hoh. Martin Littleton, Borough Hall, Brooklyn, N. Sir I hope you will see that the political banner now destroying the beauty of our Borough Hall i'ark be removed at once. Such things have no right there at any time and certainly It Is rather previous to so mar the beauty of our park at this time.

You are certainly responsible for It and I hope you will see your way clear to have tne posts ana Danner removed, lours truly, HENRY B. DAVENPORT. August 4, 1905. Brooklyn, August 7, 1905. Mr.

Henry B. Davenport, 375 Pearl street, Brooklyn Dear Sir Acknowledging receipt of your communication of the 4th addressed to Hon, Martin W. Littleton, asking that the political banner be removed from the intersec tion ot Court street and Fulton street, I beg to state that the ordinanoe provides that the Usuance of such permits be vested la the commissioner of Public works. It has been the custom in the past to grant permits to the political organizations for the eroctlon of banners at various loca tions In the city the point occupied by the banner of whioh you complain being a location particularly desired by such organ izations. There Is no desire to show any partiality In the granting of the permits, hence they have been Issued in the order in which the application has been received.

The Social Democratic party were first on the eround in submitting application for the placing of the bauner at Court and Fulton streets and it was granted. I do not think It necessary to revoke It at the present tlme-Yours very truly, J. O. BRACKENRIDQH. Commissioner.

John C. Brackenrldge, Commissioner of Public Works: Dear Sir Your favor of the 7th Inst, received. I wish to say that in my opinion you have displayed unpardonably bad Judgment In allowing the city's beauty to be marred by the poles and banner at this time, throe months before election. Some time I hope we will have a public works commissioner who will have the good taste, public spirit and moral courage to forbid such desecration at any time. Yours truly, HENRY B.

DAVENPORT. August 10, 1D05. Mr. Henry B. Davenport, 375 Pearl street, Brooklyn, N.

Dear Sir 1 have your effusion of the 10th, dictated aparently at a time when your feelings were needlessly overwrought. In reciprocation ot your patriotic hope, permit me In say that I also have a hope, and thai is tli.1t some time we will have lcgnl gentlemen with prnctlco enough to profitably occupy thcle whole time and sufllclcnt Judgment to appreciate the Advantage of attending to it. you desire to correct existing municipal conditions, do not waste valuable time on such trivialities. The present Commissioner of Public Works has "the good tame, public spirit nnd the moral couragn" to stand up to such "Citizen Flxlts" as your-seir. Yours very truly, J.

The New York and Porto Rico liner Santuree sailed yesterday from the foot of Pacific street, for Jobos and other Porto Rlcan ports. She has on board a large amount of machinery and general merchandise.

She is the third vessel of the line to sail Blncn Saturday, the Ponce and Vasco sailing on the lattpr day. and the Pathfinder is scheduled tofSil on next Saturday. Beside these, the Red liner Caracas will also sail on Saturday for San Juan. All have large freights on board, hich indicates that Porto Rico must be Retting along pretty well, all things considered. The strike of the longshoremen at San Juan la reported to be over, for the present at least, although the men threaten to strike aRain at the end of thirty days if their demands are not complied with.

These are considerably higher than the wages paid In this port for the same class of work. MRS. MACKAY'S "AFTERMATH." Her Election to Roslyn School Board Places Her in Danger of Being Besieged by Female Cranks. (Special to the Eagle.) Roslyn, L. August 17 Said one of Mrs.

Clarence H. Mackay'a friends lately: 'Tor everything there la an aftermath, and Mrs. Mackay's Is likely to be a deluge of letters sho will receive from women cranks who will want her to mother or stand sponsor for their projects." Tbe prediction seems likely to be verified. A noted Brooklyn suffragist is already making Inquiries as to whether Mrs. Mackay would be president of a Roslyn suffrage club.

Another woman, In a neighboring state. Inquiries as to whether Mrs. Mackay could secure her a place on the lecture course of Roslyn public school. These show tho trend of outside thought and indicate a busy season for Mrs. Mack-ay's secretary.

Tuere are penalties attnehed to every pub lic position exemplifying tho old saying: "Uneasy lies the that wears the crown." No wonder of Mrs. Mackay's friends says: "She has a rare, fine courage." LOST EARRING WAS FOUND. Valued at $60O, nr4 Mrs. Crossman Recovered It ough Honesty of a Eestauinnt Employe. The nimerous friends of Mrs.

William S. Crossman, who resides la a handsome home at 223 Bay Thirty-first street, Bensonhurst, overlooking Gravesend Bay, were very much disturbed yesterday morning when Informed t.iat one of a pair of earrings worn by Mrs. Crossman and valued at $000 had mysterious ly disappeared. The Jewel was made up of a pearl, which was surrounded by eight fine diamonds and It was greatly admired. Mrs.

crossman said Bhe wore the earring on Tuesday afternoon while doing some shopping In the big department stores In Fulton street. She discovered the loss when she returned home. Then a search was made of her home and the stores which she had visited. Finally aha bethought herBelf that she had bad luncheon at a well known restaurant in the shopping district and an hour later Mrs. Crossman was informed that an earring had been found by one of the employes and It was restored to her and thera was general rejoicing at her home.

Two different styles of campaign are being pursued by t'ae opposing Democratic factions of the Twelfth Assembly district, wheri Register Matthew E. Dooley and Michael E. Butler are hotly contending for the leadership. The Butler forces have Inaugurated a campaign of oratory and from now on until primary day they Intend to have a big meeting every week In Day's Hall, Sixth avenue and Ninth atreet, at which t'jey make known to all who come the reasons why they believe they should, receive the Indorsement of the Democratic voters of the district. The Dooley men, on the other hand, have eschewed oratory altogether.

They beliave more In the still hunt for votes, the bouse to house canvass, and they are out hustlinl night and day endeavoring to pledge voters to their cause. The Twelfth Assembly District Is one of the best residential districts in Brooklyn, a district that is unaccustomed to primary fights, and the old residents there have opened their eyes In astonishment at the activity of the contending factions. The residents of the district who, up to a year or so ago, bad very little idea of how leaders were madu, are receiving some lessouij In practical politics since Kegister Dooley and Mr. Butler started in to contest ihe leadership, and they will prouably be as well up on the details of party r.achinery uy primary day as the hardy warriors of districts like the Seventh and Ninui, where the Democrats are never happy unless Uiey lave a primary scrap on their hands. but the District has its tenements, too, as well as it swell residences.

The result is ti.ai. the leaders on both sides have their hnnds full trying to train between tho denizens tba tenements and the occupants of the. faBiiionabio houses up near the Park Slope. The- are alternating in their visits to eu.ii section, and last reports Hr. Dooley and Mr.

Butler have thus far both survived the strain. Till liutler people arc uning much of the fact that the old Coffey clement In the Twelfth District, which f.i one time was considerable, especially iir. Coney had his Brooklyn Democracy uolntr is now behind Register Dooley's opponent. Tha leaders of the old ooklyn Democracy in the Twelfth District were Michael J. Doran, John Tracy, Deputy city Clerk Joseph V.

Scully and Joseph V. Delaney. These men are now all supporting Mr. Butler, a fact which the Butler people say is significant, because ex-Senator Coffey is oppose the leadership of Senator P. H.

McCarren, under whose standard Mr. Butler is fighting for the leadership of the Twelfth District. The Coffey people In the district a year ago were opposed to Butler and supported Dooley. The Butler people say the desertion of Dooley by the Coffey men has left a big hole in the Dooley' ranks, but the Dooley men declare It is a hole that has been more than filled up by new recruits, While the followers of Register Dooley are devoting their campaign efforts almost entirely to a house to hous? canvass bf the district and have left to the Butler forces all the Bpeechmaking, the latter are by no means inactive in vote-gunning, either. They, too, have their canvassers out, and they report that thev are receiving encouragement every day from the voters of the district.

But. then, so do the Dooley men. HOSPITAL OFICEES CHOSEN. Greenport Incorporators Choose Full Corps H. A.

FRANK H.TYLER WON HIS FIGHT. Arrested for "Speeding" When Wife's Mother, Over 80 Years Old, Was in Car Hot Protest. Many Brooklyn automobilists are indig nant at the manner in which they are treat ed by the authorities in some of the villages and towns of Long Island.

They contend that these people go out of their way to make the owners and drivers of cars pay so- called legal tribute to them and that In many instances certain officials have been evidently animated by a desire to bring themselves before the public. The automobilists, who complain of their treatment, say that on a number of occa sions when they have been out in their cars with friends and have been "held up," so to speak, for an alleged violation of a town or village ordinance, they have paid the fines imposed on them rather than be subjected to the annoyances ot delay and loss of time. But every autoinoblllsi is not willing to submit to such business and In some cases the car driver Is inclined to ask the reason why. Frank H. Tyler, the well known real es tate man, Is an ardent automoblllst, who was called down recentlv by the authorities of Hempstead for alleged speeding, but who resisted what he regarded not only as an unfair, hut a positively unjust, interpreta tion of the law.

Mr. Tyler made up his mind that he would not stand for what he viewed as persecution and instead of paying the fine of $25 which had been imposed on him fought the case and won. Mr. Tyler was seen at his oftice, 11S3 Fulton street, to-day. He said: "I made up my mind that no imposition in the name of law and Justice could pass in my case.

And from the beginning I resolved to stand up for the rights that any American citizen is entitled to. The facts are as follows: On Sunday, Juno 18, I was riding in my automobile through th? town of, Hempstead. I had Mrs. Tyler and her mother, who is between 80 and 90 years of age, with me. It was not likely under the circumstances that I should undertake to do any speeding.

Consideration for those I had in my company and under my protection would have forbidden any such thought, and I merely mention the same to show the absurdity of the charge subsequently made against mo. "While we wro going through Fulton street, Hempstvau, tv.o men rufiiwa out from behind some trees and ordered me to Btop, which I did at once. Thero wero a number of automobiles coming along ai. the same time. We were all placed under arrest-that is, I mean those In charge of the vehicleson the ground that there was a violation of the village or town ordinance in traveling at a rate in excess of eight miles an hour.

We were taken to the Town Hall and a number of the people being familiar with holdups of a similar nature, but at the same time not being willing to wait it) uruur io Know in detail what they were charged with, paid the fine of $25 and walked out of court. "When my name was called and I was told that I was fined $25. I asked Judge Oeorge C. Tatera, who was presiding, to favor me with the complaint In ordor to show what I was charged with, so that I would know how to plead. Theopilus Parsons, a very young lawyer, who said that he was the prosecuting attorney, took a paper from a bundle containing about fifty typewritten complaints, all of which had spaces in blank for the names of owners and the numbers of automobiles.

Then he filled out the complaint In my case and had It sworn to by one of the deputy sheriffs. He explained at the same time that he could not spare me a copy of the complaint because ht would need all of them that day. I at once pleaded not guilty and demanded a speedy trial. The first case that was tried was that against Richard K. Fox.

ot Manhattan, and his counsel was Judge James C. Church, of Brooklyn. After a long trial Judge Tatem dismissed the complaint because it was proven by reputable witnesses that Mr Fox had a spedometer on his car which Bhowed at the time of his arrest that he was complying with the ordinance, and furthermore that not one of the deputy sheriffs engaged In this "hold up" business would swear that he knew the time made over the measured course by Mr. Fox's car. One of the deputy sheriffs did swear that he timed the car with a nlckle plated watch, which, he admitted, had never been tested, and he would not swear to Its accuracy.

That he took the time and put It down on a piece of paper and gave it to a man named Grncle. "Grade swore that he gave it to a man named Burtis. Burtis swore that he took the ploce of paper and gave it to Mr. Parsons, the prosecuting attorney. Mr.

Parsons took the stand and swore that he tore the paper up. "With such flimsy evidence that plainly bore the kindergarten stamp Judge Tatom could do nothing else but dismiss the complaint and I think the people who were in the town that day, including all tho officers, learned more about law and what constituted evidence than they ever knew before. The authorities of Hempstead themselves had not even complied with the statute by placing on the highways In conspicuous places, signs which should read: 'Slow down to ('blank number) miles per with an arrow pointing in the direction of the village limits. Thero was absolutely no isn of any such character cn any of the highways at the time of these wholesale arrests. There was on Fulton street, as one entered the vlllara from the west a sign painted black with small white lottors which It would bo impossible for any one to read unless he came to a full stop.

And this sign originally read ten miles an hour and over tho big ten had been nalnted 'oiht "Subsequent to the trial and dismissal of the Fox case every effort was made to bolster up the people's side in other cases and endeavor to bring about convictions because some statements were made by persons under arrest to the effect that they would certainly sue the county for falso arrijst In the trial ot what was known as the Howard case the Deputy Sheriff, who figured most prominently In the proceedings said that he hnl no permanent employment and that his tntnl earnings for the past year had been about $50. He testified that ho took the time of all the autos on June 18 with his nickel plated watch and then to the astonishment of everyono In court he produced a sheet of foolscap paper showing In detail the time of every car and the number of each one on the day in question He testified on cross-examination that ho had that time In his pocket nt the time of the Fox trial, but he forgot to uro-ouce it. "My ensn and some others were set down for trial on August 10. I proposed to light the action of the Hempstead authorities and rot that purpose Judge Jacob Hrenrer accompanied mo to court os counsel Wo found in the course of our investigations that the bluck sign with the while letters on it to I have already alluded was not In accordance with the statute that it had been tampered with, that Ihe lind been changed to ten miles nn hour" and that a piece of tin with new wording on it had Jjeen tacked on the bottom of the sli-u "And In addition to this were found several signs wlilch showrd that thev had been hnstlly mnilc and which read: "Slow down to ten miles nn An examination re-vcaled the fact that tho ginss Hnd weeds around the poHt of Ibis sign where it entered Ihe ground had been very carefully pulled tin so that it would hide Ihe fresh ground We nltJo found out one of the principal wllnoiMes fur the prosecution was confined in the county jnll for Intoxication. What could the presiding judge do under nil these eirciimstnni'cK but dismiss the most ridiculous charges ever brought even In a district court." Mr.

Tyltr, in conclusion, ssid: "My experitiiice has been that the ma Its Weight Did Not Bother Them, but Its Resistence Did. Y. M. C. A.

BOYS MONEY IN IT. TJnable to Crack It, Bobbers Concealed It, but It Was Unearthed and Much Joy Followed. (Special to the Eagle.) Lake Waccabuc, N. August 17 Thieves entered the office of the camp of the Young Men's Christian Association of Brooklyn some time between late Saturday night and early Sunday morning last, and succeeded itt carrying away the camp safe, containing about $500, most of the money belonging to tho fifty young men who are sppnding their vacation at the tamp. The daring of the thieves Is shown by the fact that the safe which they took away weighed over 75 pounds.

The surprise Is that they managed to carry It away right under the noses of the young men who are camping out, who were asleep in a tent not more than 10 feet away from ths building In which the safe stood. Tho safo was found Sunday morning, some distance from the camp, with its contents Intact, the thieves having been unsuccessful in their attempt to break it. The thieves entered the office building through a rear window, after the members of the little tent colony had all retired. Tha office building is about 30 feet away from tha lake. The safe was taken out of the building and down to the lake, where a boat belonging to the camp was secured and the safe was put aboard and carried down the lake about half a mile to a small bridge crossing tbe road leading to the camp Here the thieves abandoned the boat and" took to the road, bringing the safe along.

An attempt was made to crack the safe, as la evidenced by the big dents the thieves left in It, but it wasn't successful. After giving up the effort to break the safe the thievca concealed It In an open space in a stona wall adjoining a field facing the road. As soon as the loss of the safe was discovered when the camp awoke Sunday morning, a party was organized to search tha neighborhood for it. Eugene Scaly, a native of this place, finally succeeded In locating It where the thieves had left It. It was in a badly battered condition, but when it was round that the contents of tbe sate had been left intact there was great re joicing In the camp.

If the. search for the safe had not been marked with success; there would have been some hot telegraDh- lng home to Brooklyu for money, as prac tically every one of the campers-out had Intrusted his funds to the safe. At the offices of the Young Men's Christian Association, In Fulton street, this morning, it was said that no definite information had been received from the Lao Waccabuc camp regarding the theft of the office safe. BRIDGE POLICE DEFENDED. Captain Devaney Says His Men Are Not Off Post A Word on Sailor's Costumes.

Captain Devaney, of the Brooklyn Bridge police, takes Isbus with the statements of the citizen who found "disgraceful conditions on the bridge," and who told about them last night In the Eagle. The citizc in question was principally shocked at tht open-necked costume of the sailors wh8 cross the bridge, and the manner in whicH he alleged they behaved with their girl companions. He also declared that policemen were frequently off post on the bridge, and that the roadways wero not properly policed. Captuin Devaney said to-day: "Men who make complaints of that kind, should not withhold their name3. They should come out and back them up and give us a chance to investigate.

I can say, however, that many of the assertions made by this man are untrue. "The roadways are always policed, and so Is the footpath. I have never received any complaints about sailors on the bridge. They get Just the same treatment as anybody else. I consider the sailor or the soldier to be entitled to Just as many privileges as the millionaire, and I believe he should be treated the same.

I have never seen anything objectionable in the sailors' costumes, such as this citizen complains of, and so long as they behave themselves properly they have as much right on tha bridge, in the company of young women, as anybody else," ITALIAN LOST FOUR DAYS.

the hands of the police, he-had been 'in the care of the probationary officer of the children's court. This had been by ihe request -of Bishop's mother, who was beginning to realize Philip was getting Into bai habits. No charge of stealing had been made against he had become addicted to the use of. cigarettes In large quantities and more than once had been so thoroughly poisoned by. them that he had lost JiiB His mother told a reporter this morning that on ono 'occasion not very long ago ho had been found In the alley near their home stupefied with nicotine.

There was ne Indica tion that he had been drinking and his moth er says (hat the child hardly knew the taste of intoxicants. But she was convinced that his stupor was solely the effect ot cigarette smoking. Mrs. Bishop, is the mother of fourteen children and "l'hillle," as she calls him, had been giving her no end of trouble during the vacation period. The main source of com plaint was that ho was a frequent visitor at lioran's candy store on High street and somo time ago a woman called at Mrs.

Bishop's house, and 'warned her that she should not permit her boy to go to the place. This in formant told Mrs. according to Mrs Bishop's story this morning, that Phillie was In the habit of loafing about the store during many spare hours of the day, helping Miss Doran to fold the newspapers, for the sale of newspapers is a part of the business, and getting from Miss Doran, by way of reward for the service, many cigarettes. The wom an's visit to Mrs. Bishop was purely one of solicitude for another mother.

"I hate to see another womnn's son going to the bad, said this neighbor. Mrs. Dlshop really wont one day to the Doran store and begged Miss Catherine to discontinue her gifts to Phlllle, and the young "woman promised to do no. But ehe did not stick to her word, MrB. Doran said this morning.

Philip was just as bad as ever, in spite of the fact that he continued under the eyo of the probationary officer. So ho wound iip with the burglary and with the shooting. And his doting mother is ex ceedingly sad about it all and hns no monev fjto pay for a lawyer to help the little rascal uui ui inn uresem ixouoies. inn people at the shelter for children say that they see signs in him of unusual depravity and indications that ho is a pervert. Captain Condon said this morning that he was quite ready to believe the story that the boy had held tin a baker vestorrtnv morn ing and a shot at him with his newly uiiuireu revolver, dui ne naa not been able to truce tnis yarn to anv foundation In foot But he- had.

hud evidence that Philip was shooting off the revolver during the early uwiMug auu aisLurniag in-e neighbors. GIPAl REGISTER, Examinations Pending for Positions In the Municipal Civil Service.
