Thomas Fox, 29 years old, of East New York avenue and Ford street, a contractor, was arrested last night at his homo by Court Ofllcer Burns, of the Butler street court, on a warrant Issued by Magistrate Tlghe to Joseph Lennenbiuim, a storekeeper fit 224 Bush street. Lennenbaum charges that on December 2, 1904, Fox came to his place and got a quantity of blankets, whips and other articles, which he told the shopkeeper he intended to purchase. Lennenbaum says that while he was in the store making out the bill Fox drove away with the goods. Fox was arraigned in the Butler street court to-day on the charge or grand larcenv Magistrate Tigho held him in $500 bail for txamltiatlon. SAYS FRIEND ROBBED HIM.

tTailor Causes Arrest of Visitor, Accusing Him of Larceny. James Laporc, 21 years old, of 112 Mulberry street, Manhattan, was arraigned in the Butler street court to-day on the chargo of grand larceny on complaint of Vincent Dorone, a tailor, of 3L'6 Thirty-ninth street. Hot-one says Laporn came over from Manhattan yesterday to see him. He declares the man slept In the same room with him and this uuu-tiina- a gold watch and chain, revolver and $17 in money were missing. Ilorone says lus companion had a bunch of keys, one of which was found In front of the trunk in the room.

The stolen valuables had been taken from the trunk. Tighe held Lapore for examination September 1, holding him in SOuO Lull. LITTLETON AT DESK: WILL IDT TALK POLITICS Didn-t See McClellan. Who Was Staying at Same Place In White Mountains. LAUGHS AT GOSSIP STORIES, But Has a Kind Word for Governor Odell Hints That McCanen Has Hade a Mistake.

Borough President Martin W. Littleton returned to business this morning after a vacation in the White Mountains. The president is in fine condition and went at once into the details of business that had accumulated during his absence. Mr. Littleton had scarcely a word to say about politics.

His attention was called to the fact that the political reporters had been nominating him on the Fusion ticket with great unanimity, some for mayor and some for controller. "I'm afraid that's all subject to ratlflca tion," said Mr. Littleton, laughingly. White away the Borough President had a number of distinguished neighbors. There are but two hotels in the village of North Bretton and they are not half a mile from each other.

Mr. Littleton was a guest at one and Mayor George B. McClellan at the other. Notwithstanding their nearness to each other, these two eminent citizens nevor met once during the holiday season. Other celebrities spending a vacation in the neighborhood were Mrs.

Grover Cleveland, Henry H. Rogers, the noted financier; ex-Governor Frank S. Black, the chief executives of Nevi Hampshire and Maine and half a dozen millionaires. There were recent intimations that ex-Governor Benjamin B. Odell.

who is conducting the fight for Fusion in this city, had been in communication with Mr. Littleton while the Borough President was away. This was denied by Mr. Littleton. "I have not seen Mr.

Odell," he said, "nor heard from him In any way." Parenthetically Mr. Littleton said he had always believed that Mr. Odell made an admirable governor of the state. The Borough President has an appointment this afternoon with a citizen in Manhattan who will have a great deal to do with the conduct of the coming campaign. Mr.

Littleton was annoyed when he discovered that the news of the proposed conference had leaked out, and refused absolutely to discuss it in any way. He showed a somewhat languid interest in local movements and inquired about the recent activities of the politicians here. He was told that Senator McCarren had offered the insurgents against his rule here one-third representation In the conventions and committees, and that the opposition organizations, hitherto almost moribund in most cases, had been quickened into renewed activity by this offer. The president seemed to think that Mr. McCarren's knowledge of political dynamics had not been Increasing lately.

"It looks as If he mistook a stimulant for an opiate, doesn't it?" Mr. Littleton asked. With the return of the Borough President work on a number of important public Improvements here will be resumed or begun. Next week the local boards will begin operations for the fall campaign, and before September Is well under way, business will be brisk all round. GERMAN OFFICIALS HERE.

The highly sensational story published In several morning papers telling of an attack upon the night towerman of the Long Island Railroad at Dunton very early yesterday morning by five men. who were said to have robbed him of a hundred and forty dollar gold watch and a roll of bills containing nbout $120, after a hard fight, has its foundation in the fact that about two weeks ago Xlght Towerman Van Winckle was robbed of his watch while on his way from his tower by a footpad, who ran away after grabbing the watch. Van Winckle, hoping to meet the fellow again at some time In the near future and settle matters with him privately, had not reported the case to the city police nor to the Long Island Railroad detectives. The above comprises all the real facu of the case. FIGHT FOR THEIR LICENSES.

Kings Park Hotel Men Declare State Is Trying to Force Them to Sell Their Property. There is great consternation among the six hotel keepers of Kings Park, L. for they are, they say, in danger of being ruined because of a little Joker passed at the last session of the Legislature that has, unless it is declared unconstitutional, given them over to the tender mercies of the state, which wants their property for little or nothing. The hotel men, Julius N. Burr, George Marshall, Jenie Cusick, George W.

Curran, Eugene F. Keane and Albert Eseer, were all in the special term of the Supreme Court this morning before Justice Burr, as defendants In proceedings brought by the State Excise Commissioner to secure the revocation of their liquor tax certificates. It wasn't because the hotel men had violated the Sunday selling law that the actions were brought, but because the Legislature last winter pasv-od a la' forbidding the sale of liquors within a mile of state property, and, as all of these hotels are within a mile of the boundary line of the Long Island State Hospital grounds, the Excise Department demands that the licenses be revoked. Fear sent Mrs. Magnusson almost headlong down the stairs and out into the street.

There she saw Policeman Murphy and she told him that there was murder going on in the rooms upstairs. He ran up to see and at that moment he encountered Williamson, tall and imposing, on the landing. The man had shot himself in the left temple, and blood was trickling down his cheek. When the man saw the policeman he ran back into the Magnusson rooms and into the kitchen where the dead body lay. He threw the revolver beside Rogene's remains, for the woman was stone dead, and stood around, defiantly watching the policeman.

Murphy took him Into custody and Detectives Gannon and Whlttaker also came la. The body of the woman was removed to the Amity street station and Dr. Bull of the Long Island College Hospital was called. Williamson was conscious and did not seem to he so very much hurt. He was Interviewed by Captain Baldwin and complained most that, the woman had not been kind to him.

'And he said that he had spent $S00 on her. He did not seem to be worried over the killing, but his uneoncernedne3s was probably due to liquor. The doctor took the man to the hospital. The opinion of the physicians is that the man will not be long In their -care and that the wound Is not serious, for the bullet in his head glanced and slid along the skull, failing to puncture One of the reasons given by the dead woman for declining to cut loose wholly from Williamson was that he was the best friend she had in this country and that she needed friends. NEGRO CARVES HIS ROOMMATE.

Edward Christopher Missed $18, Accused William Locket cf Theft and Sliced Him With a Razor. Because, when he came home last night, a pocketbook containing $18, all the money he had, was missing from the coat in which he had placed it, Edward Christopher, a colored porter, proceeded to carve his roommate, William Locket, whom he suspected of taking the money. Both negroes occupy a furnished room on the second floor at 262 West Forty-first street. Locket is a "sand-hog" in the Pennsylvania tunnel and Christopher was until recently a porter In a hat store. They had been fast friends hitherto.

Now Locket is in Roospvelt Hospital, breathing vengeance as well as he can with his nose, lips and forehead sliced in a dozen parallel lines. Christopher got away after the cuunig ami tne ponce ot the West Thirty- ac. ii sin-ei station are seeking him. Christopher was out of work and the $18 was all he possessed to keep him from starvation until he got another Job. When he came home last night and found the money gone his feelings demanded explosion and they exploded.

He accused Locket nf Ellni. Ing the money. Locket, who is several sizes larger than his roommate, threw the smaller mgro out into the street. Christopher was suiri, as ne was about to retire when he found the money gone, and It was cold outdoors In such garb. He begged for his clothes and Locket threw out his trousers.

Unfortunately for Locket there was a razor In the trousers. Christopher found it and It gave him courage. Ho went boldly back up stairs and attacked Locket. Ho tried to cut the big man down to his own size and as Locket was unarmed, his efforts we're tinin-tirrupied until Lot kefs howls brought other occupants of the house. Then Christopher ran away.

As he was so scantily clothed the police believe he will soon come back and give himself up. Locket's wounds, though painful and disfiguring, are not expected to prove serious. LOST FINGERS IN SAW MILL. Louis Wremstock, of IO'iO Nostrand avenue, employed by the John ft. Corhln Company in their saw mill at the corner of Flatbush avenue and Avenue in charge of one of the big circular saws, had two fingers of his right hand cut off yesterday afternoon.

John's Hospital, Long Island City, suffering from a fracture ot one leg, numerous bruises and cuts and probable internal injuries, all received ln trying to lead a frisky cow with a long rope. Betzold started out yesterday with the cow and when he struck Jackson avenue a trolley car caused the animal to jump and frisk about and the rope got tangled about Betzold's feet and he had a hard time rescuing himself. Betzold got the worst of the bargain the rope winding about him as quickly as he tried to unwind himself. He struggled to control the cow, but the cow controlled him and before he realized his peril the line was several times about his body and he was bobbing over the roadway as the cow sped away. The unfortunate farmhand was found lying at the side of the road by Patrolman Ehlers, of the ABtorla precinct, and removed to St John's Hospital.

His Injuries were found to be very serious and, while he has a good chance of recovering, it will be cold weather before he can leave the institution. ACCUSES EMPLOYE OF TOKGEBY.

E. CHURCH IN UPHEAVAL Brooklyn Center of Political Turmoil Between Negroes, Which Resulted in Bishop's Resignation. Politics plain Republican vs. Democratic politics has caused an upheaval in the African Methodist Episcopal Church of the whole country, with Brooklyn as the center of the disturbance. Negro politicians of Brooklyn, some of them wearing clerical garb, have forced the Rev.

Dr. Benjamin W. Arnett, Bishop of the First Episcopal District, to resign his high office. It Is a great victory for the Republicans of Bridge street. It was in the Bridge Street African Methodist Church that the trouble started.

The negroes down there are Republican by Inheritance and training and to them a Democrat is a lost soul. Bishop Arnett Is not a Democrat, but he has a son who has Democratic leanings. Therefore, because of his close blood relation to a Democrat, the Bishop is not regarded as a fit man to rule over the negro Methodist church. He made a long and hard fight to settle the trouble in the New York Diocese, but finally had to resign. Ill health was given as the cause of his resignation.

It was only a few weeks ago that the members of Bridge Street Church defied their Bishop and locked the doors against the new pastor Bishop Arnett had assigned to the church. This pastor happened to be the Bishop's son. Dr. Benjamin W. Arnett, jr.

The officials of the church were obdur ate. They sent an ultimatum to the BishOD. telling him they would not accept his son as their pastor. They did not give as a reason their suspicion that he was tainted with Democracy. It was enough for them that he had a brother who was a Democrat.

They announced at the same time that they would not receive the Rev. Dr. S. Timothy Tice as their presiding elder. Tice Is a negro Democrat, who won the ill favor of many Republicans of his race by espousing the cause of Judge Parker In the last presidential campaign.

Bishop Arnett sent another man to Bridge Street Church, but did not replace Tice, who Is still presiding elder. The New York diocese is in a seriously disturbed condition. Bishop Arnett was a personal friend of the late President McKlnley, with whom, he served as a fellow member In the Ohio Legislature. The late Mark Hanna was another friend of Bishop Arnett. The Bishop has held many high positions In the churches and colleges of his people.

Y. Connecting R. R. Franchise. THE PROJECT IS IN ABEYANCE.

Since New Law Was Enacted Nothing Has Been Done Board of Estimate Also Meets. A meeting of the Rapid Transit Commission has been called for to-morrow afternoon. A rumor that could not be verified has It that the New York Connecting Railroad Company will at this meeting renew Its application for a franchise to build a steam railroad line connecting the New York, New Haven and Hartford and the Long Island Railroad systems. Since the company's application for a franchise was turned down by the Board of Aldermen this Bprlng it has made no move to renew Its application. This has excited some comment In view of the fact that the Board of Estimate, the members of which are known to favor the connecting railroad project, has held the franchise-granting power for several months.

After the application of the New York Connecting Railroad had been turned down by the Board of Aldermen the Rapid Transit Commission wrote a letter to Vice President Rea fthe company explaining the objections voiced by the aldermen In their report. The Aldermen wanted the company to use electricity. Instead of steam as a motive power and to allow the public access to the bridgo which it will construct over the East River. In Its answer to the Rapid Transit Commission Vice President Rea said that it would be Impossible for his company to accept a franchise under the conditions fixed by the aldermen. Since this reply was received nothing has been done.

The members of the Rapid Transit Commission say that they are powerless to take any initiative and that if anything more is to come of the project the New York Connecting Railroad Company will have to renew its application for a franchise. The matter will then go to the Board of Estimate for renewed consideration. Acting Mayor Fornes has called a special meeting of the Board of Estimate for tomorrow morning. The board will be asked to issue bonds to the amount of $1,200,000 for alterations and furnishings on the Interior of the Hall of Records in Manhattan. The contracts for these changes and furnishings were let several months ago after a considerable amount of adverse criticism on the elaborate Installations contemplated had been passed.

It was stated at the time that it would not have been a difficult matter to economize several hundred thousand dollars on the Hall of Records Job by some alterations in the specifications that would not have resulted in chaepening the appearance of the interior ot the elaborate building. Asked aa to whether any other matters would come up for discussion Deputy Controller Stephenson said that he would bring papers- relating to several other matters to the meeting, but that they would not be acted upon unless some one else called them up. He said they were all matters that could wait until tne tlrst meeting after Controller urout return, which Is scheduled for Sep tember 14. Acting Mayor Fornes said that the Will lamsburg Bridge terminal matter would no be discussed, as upon further examination the Law Department has decided that no im mediate changes in the resolution are neces sary. A meeting of the Sinking Fund Commission is also scheduled for to-morrow.

The only matter that has so far been placed on the calendar related to the adjustment of an assessment made against a Hebrew congre gation in mannattan. The courts have decided that the assessment was Illegally mndo. Following that decision the Stnkin Fond commission win rectify the matter Immedl ateiy. It was hoped that the Dock Commissioner would by this time be able to moke some report on the municipalization of the Thirty-ninth street ferry, but the Illness of the chief engineer of that department has de layed tne progress of the examination, which he has in hand. It will probably be some weeks Derore he will be ready to report on a plan for operating and maintaining the ibi ry.
