3 ALPHONZO SMITH, PIANO HOUSE, 'CARREN CONSULTS NATIONAL LEADERS In Washington Getting Opinions as to What to Do With the Democratic Party. HIS OWN VIEWS ARE CLEAR. Party Is Dead Wrong on Issues, He Says, and Has Been Ever Since the Civil War. Eagle Bureau, 608 Fourteenth Street. Washington, December 8-Senator P.

H. McCarren arrived in Washington last night and will remain here until Friday. Although the Brooklyn Democratic leader has some minor affairs to look after in one of the executive departments, it appears that his chief object in visiting Washington at this time is to secure an exchange of views with the leaders of the national party regarding the future Democracy. Senator McCarren has definite opinions of his own on this subject, and be is anxious to learn how nearly they coincide with the views of Democratic senators and representatives from other parts of the country. McCarren visited the Capitol to-day and conterred informally with some of the well-known Democratic leaders there.

He found a rather dispirited lot of statesmen. Such men as Senators Culberson, Daniel, Rayner, Bailey and Bacon have not recovered from the overwhelming Bryan defeat. They are deep in the political dumps and ripe for suggestions for party reorganization. Governor John A. Johnson of Minnesota, is here.

He is accompanied by Fred Lynch, his manager in the brief campaign made by Johnson for national convention votes last spring. There is little doubt that McCarren and Johnson will have a conference before the senator returns to Brooklyn. McCarren has a definite engagement to Senator Bailey also. The most casual inquiry among proninent Democrats here elicits the informational tion that if the party expects to accomplish anything in the future it must find new issues and a new leader. Practically every Democratic senator and 1 representative is sick of Bryan and Bryanism.

The Party Dead Wrong on All Issues, Says McCarren, To those who asked his opinion regarding the future of Democracy, Senator McCarren stated briefly that the party was dead wrong on all the issues of the day, and would never come into power until it got on the right side. He declared it his belief that the key to the situation lay in the increased cost of living, and the other evils springing from the Republican tariff laws. Senator McCarren' made the following statement to the Eagle correspondent: "I think that the national situation is one that affords opportunity to the Democratic party to make an issue on which it might successfully appeal to the people. We have not been on the right side of any public issue since the Civil War. For instance, we were on the wrong side of the.

Civil War issue, because of the fact that 80 many of the Democratic states were opposed to the Union. Then, intervening between the period of the war and the time of Tilden, we were on the wrong side of the tariff issue. Everybody knows that the election of Tilden was a protest against the methods of the Republican party at that time, and a declaration in favor of a change in the methods of government. Cleveland the One Exception Since the Civil War, "Since that time we have been on the wrong side of every issue, with the exception of the one campaign in which Cleveland was elected. His election was a repetition of the Tilden period.

It was an effort on the part of the people to wrest the government from the hands of the Republicans, because of the be- NOW LOCATED IN THE NEW BUILDING 23, 25, 27 Flatbush Avenue. sHewing HEADQUARTERS FOR WEBER PI PIANOS Clearance Sale of Wareroom Used and Second-Hand Pianos The majority of instruments offered at this sale are new--only they have been in our showrooms for some time, on exhibition-demonstrating the wonders and beauties of the productions of our factories.

Y. lief that their metohds were high handed and detrimental to the interests of the country. the Bryan period followed, beginning with the declaration in favor of the unlimited coinage of silver at an arbitrary ratio. It is unnecessary to elaborate on recent happenings for the reason that every Democrat to- young and old, realizes the disastrous consequences that have followed the attitude of our party on all the questions that Presidential contests are decided on. The patriotism of the country was arrayed against us because of our attitude on questions following the Spanish War.

Our anti-expansion stand lined up young American voters against us. While I have never voted anything but a Democratic ticket in my life, and have worked for no other than the candidates of Democracy, I did so in the belief and with the feeling in many campaigns that I was pursuing a forlon hope because of the realization of the fact that the position of our party would not be indorsed by a majority of voters. "American People Won't Stand for Radicalism," Says McCarren. "It is evident, to my mind, that must put ourselves on that side of issues that will be indorsed the voters, and the sooner we do it better. The result of the last elcetion, it seems to me, is so pointed that there can be no controverting the statement that the American people will not stand for radical theories in the affairs of government.

To my mind, Mr. Taft mi elected because he was suspected of ing conservative. If the Republican party does not keep its promises--and Immediate indications seem to it will not--I think a great opportunity warrant will be presented to Democracy to name such issues as I believe will secure support of the people. "Important matters, In my estimation, to be decided in the near future very largely involve the question of the cost of living, that, its train, will lead to a study of causes which will be clearly revealed be depending entirely on the operation of the tariff laws, to which I believe Republican party is very largely committed in the sense of continuing them as they are now. The Democratic party must take a positive stand on revision of the tariff, and in such a way as point out to the people the wisdom their position.

That can be easily done by an intelligent exposition of the question." It is expected that McCarren will stop off at Lakewood on his way home to Richard Croker. All that could learned at Democratic headquarters was that he would probably get back next Monday. Michael E. Butler, who declared retirement from politics after the executive committee meeting last Friday night, has partly changed his mind. Butler has invited the county committeemen from the Twelfth Assembly District to attend the regular organizing meeting of the election district captains to-night.

It expected that Butler will tell them how he tried to get McCarren to resign but that his motives were misunderstood. It is expected that Butler will be told that it would be too bad for him to abandon Democracy at this "juncture" and that he will probably relent. One of the speakers who hopes to say a few comforting words, has thought out a line which will be used on Butler. The line is: "The pathway of Democracy is a series of junctures." It has also been suggested to substitute the word "punctures" for "junctures." The Brooklyn Democratic Club is getting ready for its annual election of officers, which will take place on Thursday night. There are two candidates, a man of the name of Brown and a man of the name of McLaughlin.

Brown is the candidate of the nominating committee and McLaughlin has a backing of Metz, Moynahan and the Eastmonds. One of the members of the club sald to-day: "It looks to me like a fake fight for advertising purposes. It's a long time since we had any notice in the papers." OBITUARY NOTES.

the AN OLB I BROOKLYN CATHOLICS NOT CAUGHT BY KIERAN Priests, Laymen, and Institutions Elsewhere Hit by Fidelity Funding Co. LIABILITIES ARE $4,500,000. Erection of Religious Buildings the Main Purpose of Corporation. Big Credit at Banks. Not a single Roman Catholic church, order, priest or layman in Brooklyn was caught in the collapse of the Fidelity Funding Company, according to Receiver Thomas F.

Gilroy, now in charge of the company's affairs. More than fifty Catholic institutions have been named as victims of the funding company, but none of them was in this vicinity. P. J. Kieran, president of the bankrupt corporation, caught a number of New York banks and individual capitalista, but he not attempt to do any business with Catholic churches here.

dide At least, his associates say that he kept shy of the local churches, schools and convents of the church, and confined self to dealing with Catholic institutions in Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio, Iowa, Missouri, the State of Washington, and Canada. He didn't confine himself wholly to Catholic institutions, but caught several commercial companies in his net. The Fidelity Funding Company professed to do a business of building decorating churches. It sold its stock and bonds right and left, and got money from nuns, priests and members of the Catholic laity the West. Whenever a Catholic order or a convent needed new buildings, funding company was ready to build them.

It had wonderful plans for raising the money, and it had companies do building. The liabilities of the concern, as reported by the Audit Company of New York, are $4,500,000, which shows what a big business Kiernan did with his funding company. The Catholic institutions have a verv slim chance of recovering their money, according to Receiver Gilroy. One of the largest sufferers is St. Mary's Academy of Nauvoo, which is apparently on notes to the extent of at least $1,500,000, and whose property is compietely out.

In addition to the notes seigned by representatives oft the academy, it is said that Kiernan obtained mortgages to the amount of $230,000 and life insurance on the lives of the nuns to the extent of $200.000. Receiver Gilroy says he sees no hope for the Academy, which is under control of the Order of Benedictine Sisters. Four Persons Wanted. Receiver Gilroy adds that four persons conected with the Kiernan bubble are missing. He is very anxious to find Miss Lorena W.

Davis, who was Kiernan's secretary; H. A. Van Dusen, formerly assistant secretary of the company; L. C. Boyce and Kiernan himself.

Mr. Gilroy takes issue with Lawyer Bainbridge Colby, counsel for Kiernan, who made a statement last night that he had, kept Gilroy informed of the whereabouts of Kiernan. "I wish Mr. Kiernan would return," said Mr. Gilroy to-day.

"I want him and have tried to get him, and when he or anyone else says that I haven't tried to And him and that I have been kept informed of his whereabouts, that person tells a lie. Mr. Colby told me once that Kiernan was in Chicago. To-day I learn that he is in Washington. If Mr.

Colby says I haven't been trying to And him, he says something that is untrue. "Colby knows I have a court order to examine Kiernan, and I would like to know why he does not come out on the level and produce him I don't think there is the slightest intention to produce him." Mr. Gilroy has been receiver of the fur ding company since October 29. The company was at G15 Broadway until it moved to 42 Broadway, not long before going into the hands of a receiver. On the same floor at the 115 Broadway address were the Federal Construction Company, the Columbian Construction Company, the McBride Studios and two or three other companies associated with Kiernan's concern.

On another floor in the same building was the banking house of Rudolph Kleybolte which did business with Kiernan. Several months ago when a reporter for the Eagle investigated the connection between Kleybolte's company and Kiernan's company, it was denied by representatives of Kleybolte Co. that there was any connection, or that the company had any dealings with the Fidelitly Funding Company. It appears from the receiver's schedules that Kleybolte Co. are creditors of the defunct concern to the amount of $464,000.

Some Creditors. Leslie M. Shaw. secretary of Treasury, was prominent formerly, dupes of Kiernan. Shaw personally put up $60,000, and the Carnegie Trust Company, of which he was president at one time, is named as a heavy creditor.

Some of the creditors of the Fidelity Funding Company and the amounts of their claims, as given by the receiver, are: United States Mortgage and Trust Company, Carnegie Trust Company, R. Kleybolte 000; American Trust Company, Boston, Brewster Ennis Stoppani, John W. Gates, 000; Louis M. Anderson, Charles H. Hammill, St.

Thomas Theological Seminary, Denver, $10,000: Holy Trinity College, Dallas, Empire Savings Bank, Pittsburg. People's Savings Bank, Pittsburg. Mutual Bank of Chicago, United Empire Bank, Montreal, Sterling Bank of Canada, Toronto, $39,000, and Guarantee Title and Trust Company, Pitts. burg, $238,535, Receiver Gilroy is determined to go after the banks which he said exacted heavy bonuses from Kieran. He named one bank which made Kieran pay a bonus in addition to the legal rate of interest of $50,000 on a loan of $135,000.

In other words, the bank got a note for $185,000 at full legal interest and gave in exchange only $135,000. This was only me sample of the way banking business IS done by some institutions across the river. Mr. Gilroy said that several national banks would be heavy losers as a result of their trust in Kieran's collateral. Mr.

Kieran in an interview telephoned from Washington denied that the Funding Company was insolvent. He said the assets were more than the liabilities. His lawyer, Mr. Colby, spoke rather bitterly against Receiver Gilroy, and proudly of the credit his client had enjoyed. "Only a few weeks ago," he said, "Mr.

Kiernan occupied such a place in the confidence or his creditors that he commanded a line of credit with the Carnegie Trust Company to the extent of more than with the Windsor Trust Company for more than $250.000 and with the National Bank of Commerce for more than $140,000." Bonuses Are Conceded. Mr. Colby himself spoke of the big bonuses exacted from Kiernan. He said the banking institutions were friendly to him SO long as they could derive inordinate bonuses and commissions from him. "These bonuses and con.

missions aggegated more than $350,000," said Mr. Colby, "and they may be described as the largest contributing cause to the present embarrassment of the Mr. Gilroy said that while the paper assets of the company balanced the ligbilities of $4,500,000, he had gone far enough to demonstrate that the real assets were nothing like that amount. R. R.

R. R. R. R. R.

R. R. He swerallaphecassets except the furniture There are four or five books missing, and Mr. Gilroy says he would like to have them, as they show just what Kieran did with the money he took in. When asked how much Kieran got personally, Mr.

Gilroy said: don't know, but there is a discrepancy of $1,500,00, and somebody got that amount." Kieran is making desperate efforts to get the company out Gilroy's hands. It became known to-day that he was going over the country visiting the Catholic institutions that are interested and getting the persons in authority to sign papers giving power of attorney to William NelCromwell to act for them in all matters connected with the Fidelity Funding Company, the Federal Construction Company, the Columbian Construction ComKieran. "When Lawyer Cromwell was asked if he had been retained as counsel he gaid that several Catholic churches had asked him to act, but that he had not made up his mind to do so. When asked if he had authorized Kieran to print and circulate the powers of attorney in his name he said: "I have nothing to say about that." Kiernan, according to Gilroy, didn't dare keep a bank account in his own name in the latter stages of the funding company's downfall, but kept an account in the name of Miss Davis, his secretary, and another account in the name of W. B.

Arundel. Mr. Gilroy said that the books in his possession showed that Kiernan was charged with $2,000,000. Kiernan's system was quite complicated, but it consisted chiefly in raising money on bonds and notes secured by insurance policies on the lives of life nuns, priests and other persons in the Catholic church. He did most of his business with Catholic orders, and not with the church itself.

His methods were opposed by some officers of the church itself, but the church was not able to prevent the Order of Benedictine Sisters, or any other order, from dealing with Kiernan. THE COURTS. SUPREME COURT, TRIAL TERM. Day Part calendar, December 9. Part Dickey, Part Jaycox, Part V.

The trouble which started in Immanuel Congregational Church, Decatur street, between Patchen and Ralph avenues, at meeting held in October, when the presiding officer refused to listen to remarks About the pastor, the Rev. John Stapleton, followed by the resignation of five trustees, does not down. Announcement has been made le by friends of the pastor from time to time that all is harmonious within the church, and that it was never inore prosperous condition. Some of the trustees who resigned say they will yet be granted a hearing by the church and they are taking steps to bring about just this thing. A meetlag of these former trustees and several bf their friends was held last night at the home of Walter Green, 905 Herkimer street, and the matter discussed at length.

It was stated after the meeting that among those present were Alfred and John Du Four, William Knappman, Robert Broad, William Ashby Emil Treub, the latter having been treasurer as well as trustee. The statement was made to-day that A committee would wait upon some of the more prominent Congregational ministers, among them being Dr. Cadman and Dr. Boynton, and ask that they aid in bringing about a change in the church. It was also stated that the former trustees believe they see a means of getting their Story before the church at the next andual meeting.

William Ashby, whose name was stricken from the roll and who went' to tourt to have it placed in again, said today that every member was entitled to eL say at the meeting and he thought some of those who were not pleased with the way affairs were going would be pres. ent when the time came and speak up and tell what they had been prevented from saying at the meeting held in ber. Mr. Ashby also- something to say about the part he played in matters had of late. Said he: "On October 20.

1908. at 5 P.M., I rereived a registered letter from J. M. Dobbs' clerk summoning me to appear before the church committee on ThursCay, October 22, 1908, at 8:30 P.M., asFerting that I had circulated false reports relating to a bank check transaction that was a great injustice to our pastor. John Stapleton, and to show tause why I should not be censured.

"I immediately wrote Mr. Dobbs, stat'ng I was sorry to say I had a prior enragement on Thursday but would meet any church committee on the following Thursday, October 29, 1908, or any other time, as the accusation was false. At 11 P.M., Thursday, October 22, my bell rang and a note was handed me by one Jesse Crandall, requesting me to appear the following nignt. I immediately sent by special delivery word that impossible for me to my witnesses there at twenty-one hours' notice. "On November 4, 1908, I received letter from J.
