Went on Vacation in July and Has Not Returned Sixteen Years in Place. It became known to-day that since July 20 last Oliver M. Farrand, a jeweler and diamond dealer, at 3 Maiden Lane, U.nhatt.n haa Kafir. mnMn a 1 tft incflt.A a valine" man nn in fcie employ as a clerk for sixteen years, but who did not return from his two weeks vacation and whom he suspects of having made off with jewelry valued at anywhere from $5,000 to $15,000. The clerk had I been trusted by his employer ever since he hired him and in fact Mr Farrnni eaia, ne nan mane a provision for him In his will.

Mr. Farrand made this statement this morning: "The clerk whom I am unable to locate came to me when he was 15 years old, and he has been in my employ from that time until July of this year. He Is now 32 years old. When he went on his vacation, on July 3, I noticed some carelessness In his methods that caused me to check up the stock, and I spent ail day fourth or July going over the stuff. At this time I was not at all suspicious that anything was wrong.

"When the clerk was due back from his vacation he did not put in an appearance, and when he was three days i I 'S Mrs. Clark Tackled the Burglar and Held Him for Janitor and Police. A HARD FIGHT FOR A WHILE. Man Who Was Caught Had Pal Who Escaped Prisoner Says Family Was Starving. It was through the bravery of Mrs.

Emma Clark and her daughter, May, 17 years old, of 443 First street, that Abraham Pfeiffer of 186 Floyd street was captured yesterday afternoon and arraigned on a burglary charge. Mrs. Clark, who is a widow, was sitting with her daughter in her apartmenU on the first floor of 443 First street. Both mother and daughter beard a suspicious noise in the apartments of Mrs. Clara Greene on the opposite side of the hallway.

The women managed to take a look at what was going on. One account Is that this was done through a keyhole and that they saw enough to satisfy them that there was something wrong. The mother bade the daughter call up police headquarters on the telephone. Then she stepped into the kitchen and seized a monkey wrench. Softly opening a door that led into the hallway she surprised one man that was on guard and she caused another man.

who was in the Greene apartments, to beat a hasty retreat. She had raised the monkey wrench for the purpose of disarming the man in the hallway when he became aware of the movement. The stranger caught the woman's arm and there was a struggle be tween the two. In the mantlme the man who was doing interior work heard the noise and judiciously dropped out of one of the windows, leaving his companion to his fate. The woman's screams attracted the at tention of the janitor, William Yuken-wald.

who came to her assistance and caught the stranger after another desperate struggle. Then the latter was arrested by the Bergen street police. Among the articles which, it is alleged, Pfeiffer had packed up to carry off from Mrs. Greene apart ments were a silver glove buttoner, two pairs of silver cuff buttons, a pair of gold cuff buttons, a baby'B gold ring, a silver clasp, two sllves pins, a silver buckle and a gold ring, the last namea being valued at $25. The accused eaid that it was his first offense, that he had been persuaded by others to take part in the transaction and that he stole because his wife and two children were starving.

He pleaded not guilty to a charge of burglarly when taken before Magistrate Naumer in the Myrtle avenue court today and was held in $2,500 bail for examination on October 6. Mrs. James Dwyer of 441 First street, told the Bergen street police that Pfeiffer called at her apartment yesterday morning and represented himself to be a telephone line man sent to do repairs. She let him in. but she kept such close watch on his movements that he was unable to do anything in his particular -line of work.

FOUR HELD ON ARSON CHARGE. Two Italian Men and Their Wives. Floors Saturated With Wood Alcohol, Says Marshal. Four Italians, two of them women, were held in $5,000 bail on charges of arson, by Magistrate Breen, in the Yorkville court this morning, for examination next Monday morning. The prisoners were Giuseppe and Carlotta Ingrissia, and Sal-vatore and Griselda Fontana of 32'J East Seventy-fifth street, Manhattan.

Fire Marshal Charles O. MaiCarthaith said that, the prisoners lived on the lop floor rf tenement house where a fire siarted last Saturday morning. The fire wes quickly extinguished, and evidences found that the floor and woodwork had been saturated with wood alcohol. Both families had left their apartments shortly before the lire started. Marshal Mac-Cart ha ith sa'd lhat Fontana had the furniture in his apartment insured for $1,000, while Ingrissia had $500 insurance on hit.

Fifteen families lived in the house, and Mr. MacCarthaith said that he would produce evidence next Monday, sufficient (o have the prisoners held for the grand jury. BEAT WIFE AND SON. Martin Declares They Refused Him Food and Took Away His Business. David Martin, 50 years, old, who re sides on East Twenty-third street, Sheeps- head Bay, was before Magistrate Voorheis to-day in the Coney Island court on a charge of assaulting his wife and son, uavta, ir Mrs.

Martin declared her hus band came home one night and without any reason for doing so, struck her and then proceeded to tear up all her clothing Mrs. Martin also said her husband had failed to provide for her support. Martin declared his wife and son had order him out of ths house and had otherwise mistreated him. He said they refused to allow him any butter and he was unable to get any coffee at break-fust. He said ho owns and operates a motor boat in Shecpshcad Bay and had a boat house at the foot of Ocean avenue until his wife and son took the business away from him.

ON FOLKS WHO GET STUNG Odd That the Paltry Loser Should Make an Exhibition of Himself, Says Mr. Forbes.

HE WOULD POCKET HIS LOSS Strang-e, Too, That His Victims Should Feel So Angry and So Resentful About It. John W. Forbes peeked out from behind the bars in the Adams street police court this morning and manifested much interest in the presence of Just twenty-four persons who were Interested in him. The people who were the objects of some solicitude on the part of Mr. Forbes, who has many, many other names, used pro fessionally aa a swindler of a certain kind of merit, were all of the good sort, well dressed, evidently prosperous In the world's goods, and of both Bexes.

A court officer likened the noise the twenty-four were making to the buzzing of a party of school children out on a Saturday frolic, for it was true that they were making some noise, but then Magistrate Tighe had not yet reached the bench. Each of the twenty-four recounted during the morning the story of how Mr. Forbes got money by slick false pretenses, and a fair proportion of the party wanted to have the satisfaction of seeing Mr. Forbes go to prison for a long time. There were women from Staten Island and women from the Bronx In the crowd; women from upper Manhattan and men from all over.

Every one of the score and odd had a letter, which was handed to Detective Victor White, making quite a bundle when gathered, and each letter was in the same "hand of write." Each was from either the Manhattan or Grand Central Hotel, and each had been sent on the same swindling mission. Mr. Forbes needed the money, and his plan to get it was told in detail in the Eagle on the day of his arrest. He only addressed advertisers who were selling their summer homes, and so it was quite natural that the people who came to prosecute him should look prosperous, for iu these strenuous days it is only the wealthy who can have country places. Mr.

Forbes was the prospective buyer, and he is the man who pretended, after agreeing to buy for cash, that his purse had been stolen from him and that he did not have enough money to get back to his hotel. His receipts from his deft maneuvering ranged from 10 cents to $15. The 10-cent ones were the most viciously anxious to see Mr. Forbes behind the bars, and Mr. Forbes wondered at that.

He wondered at several other things, as shown by his remarks to a reporter. "It amazes me." said he, "to think that the people who were stung for such paltry sums of money should come to court and make an exhibition of themselves Just for the sake of shoving poor me to orison You would imagine, my dear sir, that, having been fooled, the victim would feel a little bit backward in making public announcement of their folly. For it was folly. I admit that. Why should they give me money? I am sure I never asked them for any.

No one can say that I even suggested that they should give me any. 1 simply made the declaration that I had lost my pocketbook, and in some of the instances money was pressed ou me. 1 couldn't stop some of them. Of course, I will not admit that I did not lose my pocketbook. Of, course I had, or I never would have said so.

You might think It strange that I should lose my pocketbook so often, as, say, twenty times, but some men are more unfortunate than others." "Human nature Is a queer thing," continued Mr. Forbes, as if talking to himself. "Now, if I felt that I had been fooled by a swindler I would never go to court to expose myself. I'd pocket my loss and say no more about it. But I suppose there is another consideration in this particular instunce.

The resentment that one feels when one has been 'done' sometimes makes a person bitter, and, now that 1 think of it, that is possibly the case with all of these people. And I defy any one of them to say that I ever asked for money. The 'loan' or if you please, was all onesided. Another thing that pleases me In this matter is the consideration that I did not steal. I had plenty of opportunity to do so in their houses, yet not one of them can say that he or she ever missed a thing." "They are going to send you to prison, for all that," said the reporter, in a re assuring way.

"I guess so, assented mr. romes, wun something like a sign. "I suppose I will have to stand it. This goes from here to a higher court, doesn't it? And then to Jail. I suppose.

It is a fact tnat tne way of the transgressor is hard, and a fellow takes more pains, sometimes, to do something that close critics might call 'crooked' than to gain on honest penny." "Sure enough," coincided a policemen who was guarding the pen, "an honest man has always a clear conscience anil can sleep well. And many an honest dol lar is made much more easily inau crooked "Right you are," said Mr. romes, closing tiie Interview, "but 1 am sorry that these people are so angry about this and so resentful." Only one complaint was taken againsi Mr. Forbes this morning, that of John T. Walker, tho superintendent of the itoyal Specialty Company, of 92 Reade street, Manhattan.

Forbes got irom him by the false representation that hi pocketbook had been stolen on the sub way, the falsity of wnicn representation may be a matter of proof. Forbes plead ed not glliuy lo WH' rimiKt' aiiu saiu lu.i fr mnn.v Hearing in the case was adjourned until naKI week and Detective White announced that there would be other complaints ready then. "And I guess lhat he will get. all that is coming to him." commented the magistrate, as a sop to the anxiety of some of the nicely dressed women, who expressed a fear that he would escape. Among the complainants that the detective has to pick from are J.

H. Dakin of .112 Lafayette avenue, L. R. Moody of 85 Si. Mark's avenue.

Mrs. Fitzgerald of 704A Greene avenue. Mrs. Collins, formerly of 704 A Greene avenue: "Advertiser," fllso formerly of 704A Greene avenue; Mr. Miner of 720 Hancock street, Mrs.

on the Hist of January, 1KM. on a charge of larceny and was sent three years to the New Jersey state prison and he served six months in the iings loiintv innueniiary in lor swindling in Yonkers. STRUCK IN SELF DEFENSE. On Ihe complaint of Octavio ContI, the son of Thomas ContI, the Interpreter in the New Jersey avenue court, who lives at 308 Third street, James Cunningham, 21 years old, of 403 Douglass street, was arraigned in the Fifth avenue court today on a charge of assault. The ContI boy alleges that Cunningham 3truck him and knocked him down, all because he refused to play a game of pool with him.

Cunningham does not deny the assault, but claims self defense. Magistrate (rolsmar adjourned the case until October 20 and paroled Cunningham. Declares That the Republican Treasurer Is Connected With Seventeen Trusts. SHELDON WILL NOT REPLY. At First He Expected To, but After Reading Hack's Statement Decided Not To.

Chairman Mack to-day fired at Treasurer Sheldon of the Republican National Committee the broadside which he has been preparing for the past week. It was a list of the numerous corporations with which Mr. Sheldon is connected, together with an intimation that If DuPont was pushed off the Republican Committee, merely because he was the head of a single trust, it Is Impossible for Sheldon to stay with his seventeen corporation connections. Mr. ack was careful to say that personally he had a high regard for Mr.

Sheldon. "Do you think he ought to retire because of his affiliation with so many corporations?" Mr. Mack was asked. "I have not said so," he replied quickly. "The situation is clear, however.

Here are the trusts with which Mr. Sheldon is now associated, either in the capacity of director or treasurer: American Locomotive Company, director. Bethlehem steel Company, director. Cincinnati Northern Railway C'omDanv. dl- rector.

Detroit Edison ComDanv. director and trenjt. urer. Electrical Sec. Company, director.

I.aclede Gas Light Company, director. Montreal Locomotive Works director. Locomotive See. Company, director. Metropolitan Trust Company, director.

Milwaukee Electric RaJlwav and J.lrht Com pany, director. Milwaukee Llarht. Heat and Trncllnn IVm. pany, director. National Copper Bank, director.

North American ComDanv. treaaurer and director. New Jeraev Terminal IWlc and ImnrMvnvnl Company, director. KepuDiie iron and Steel Company, director. Kogera Locomotive Works, director.

Bt. Loula Transit Company, director. "The trust and corporation affiliations of Mr. Sheldon," continued Mr. Mack, 'for the past ten years, make interesting reading in view of the recent developments in the campaign.

I wish to recall in this connection that because of these very associations of his, Governor Odell In 1902 refused to permit his party leaders to put Mr. Sheldon in nomination for lieutenant gov-eronr. 'Governor Odell at that time declared he would not accept the renomlnation for head of the state ticket if Sheldon were named as his running mate. But while the Republican party have refused to put up Mr. Sheldon name for a public office, it has, for the identical reasons for this refusal, selected him for its campaign fund collector.

"This cannot be denied. Most of the corpoartions with which Mr. Sheldon Is identified are capitalized fjr millions. How much of their stock is of the liquid variety can be easily ascertained. Yet Mr.

Roosevelt has defended him and his resignation was not demanded when Mr. Du Pont was invited to step down and out. Mr. Du Pont was only identified with one trust, while Mr. Sheldon is at the present time intimately identified with no less than seventeen prominent financial concerns, as will be noted in the accompanying list.

"One of these, the Bethlehem Steel Company, does not employ union labor and has opposed the organization of its employes for the past sixteen years. "Mr. Sheldon is a director jof that company. He is also treasurer and director of the North American Company, capitalized for a concern known as the 'Mystery of Wall street." It is but a few years back since he was prominently Identified with the 'Whisky A glance at his connections with various companies for the past ten years will explain tcrselv the reason of his present position. No further comment of mine is necessary." Mr.

Sheldon was not at his headquarters in the Metropolitan Life Building when the news reached the treasurer's office that Mack had attacked him. His secretary sent word to him, however, to hurry to the headquarters. Mr. Sheldon promptly responded to the summons. As he entered the building he was visibly excited.

"Will you have any reply to make to Chairman Mack's attack?" he was asked. "I will." he replied, emphatically, and with a show of anger. "You Just wait about half an hour and I will give you something to print." The reporters, however, did not get the reply they had been led to believe was forthcoming. Instead, at the end of about a fifteen minutes wait Mr. Sheldon's secretary issued from the treasurer's room and said.

"Mr. Sheldon wishes me to say that he will make no reply to the statement of Chairman Mack. In explanation of the apparent change of programme, you may say that Mr. Sheldon was misinformed regarding what the statement contained. When he said he would make a reply he was under the Impression that the attack contained something which he later found it did not contain." Chairman Hitchcock glanced over the Mack statement and said he did not care to take any notice of it.

ST0LEMARCH0N REPUBLICANS At a Joint county and senatorial convention of the Independence League of Queens, held at 165 Fulton street, Astoria, last night, and presided over by Alderman Thomas M. Qulnn, Dana Wallace was nominated for district attorney. Mr. Wallace Is an assistant and In District Aliornfy Darrin office, and expects the Republican nomination of the Counlv Convention on October 6. It Is said by his friends that this will Improve rather than injure his chances in the Republican convention, as the Republicans are just now seeking the aid of Cassidy and the Independence League with which party the erstwhile Democratic, leader is conferring.

The. other aspirants for the Republican nomination for district attorney are James A. Dayton of Bay Side, Eugene N. L. Young of Long Island City and District Attorney Ira G.

Darrin, who thinks he Is entitled to a renomlnation in view of his record as a prosecuting officer. SPECIAL SESSIONS SENTENCES. Lawbreaker Punished for Various Offenses. In the Court of Special Sessions the following men were punished yesterday: Jerome Fining, Albert Valle. Harvey Holohan.

"i't New Provision of Election Law May Keep a Tramp From Taking Your Name. A HARDSHIP IN SOME CASES. Closer Questioning: as to the Booms You Live In Must Know Name of Landlord. It is feared at the Board of Elections that some confusion may arise at the registration and voting booths as the result of the new change of the electloa law. Special emphasis was laid upon the necessity for a perfect understanding of the innovation by the general public if obscurity as to requirements is to bo reduced to a minimum.

The first and most important departure from the bid method Is that which requires all voters to sign their names, both at registration and election times. The two signatures will have to correspond, or the voter will be challenged. When the voter approaches one of the registration booths next Monday he will be asked, after he has met all the old requirements, to give the full name of the householder, tenant, sub tenant or apartment lessee with whom he resides. Then the applicant must write his name in the twentieth column of one of the registration books, and if he is unable to write he must answer the following questions, and the answers must be written on a printed form by one of the in spectors: What is your true name? What Is or was your father's name? What is or was your mother's name? What is your occupation? What Is the name of your present em ployer? If unemployed, what Is the name of your last employer? Where is or was his place of business? Are you married or single? Where did you actually reside immedi ately prior to taking your present resi dence; state floor and character of premises? The purpose of these questions, like that Of the signature required, is to furnish a basis of comparison on Election Day. The man who was not able to wlrte will, when he goes to vote, be asked the Identical questions he answered on registration day and the two will be com- parea.

onouia the voterB' two sets of replies differ, he will be challenged. Even then, it Is pointed out, there may be complications. "Suppose, for Instance, that a man breaks his arm after he registers," one of the officials at the Board of Election said this morning. "Then his signature at election time will in all probability be markedly different from that of registration day. In which event he will not be permuted to vote, of course.

Then, too, suppose a fellow has rheumatism. He might be a well man on registration day but if he has a cramp on voting day he is lost. Might work a hardship on legitimate cases, don't you think?" The new law provides that not only the Inspector but any watcher or challenger may stop a man from voting whose signatures or answers do not correspond. The final admonition is as follows: "If any person prompts a voter in answering any of the questions above mentioned, he Is, under the provision of the election law, guilty of a felony." There are five hundred and thirty-six election districts this year as against five hundred and thirty In 1907. The election districts are approximately based on a voting force of from five hundred to six hundred.

FOX TERRIER GAVE ALARM. House Next Door Was Afire and Mrs. Waltman Was Awakened. Family Saved. A little fox terrier dog proved himself an excellent fire alarm early this morning, when he awakened Mrs.

Herman Weltman, 45 years old, of 8 and 10 Ritter place, the Bronx, while a fire was raging In the hallway of the two-story frame house. The dog belongs to Jacob Kron-enberger. who lives next door. Mrs. Weltman went to the window to see what ailed the animal and found that the hallway on the first floor of her house was afire.

She aroused her husband and Gottfried Fetteroll, who boards with them. Weltman. his wife, the boarder and little four-year-old George Weltman an managed to get out on to the one-story extension In the rear of the house. There they were cut off, and Fetteroll decided to go down the grape arbor, which is near by. He got down, and then Weltman started after him, but he lost his grip and fell to the ground.

He dislocated his shoulder and was taken to Fordham Hospital. Mrs. Weltman, anxious to save her boy, found a clothes line dangling from a pulley. She lowered the boy on the line to the yard, but, being a heavy woman, was herself unable to get down. Fortunately, Patrolmen Gilbert, Fay aud Voss of Inspector McClusky's staff were passing, and, hearing the woman's screams, ran to her assistance.

They got to the roof of the extension and, after testing the clothes line, let her down to the yard on It. The fire did $1,000 damage. PIPING ROCK HORSE SHOW. Early Judg-ing Attracts Large and Fashionable Attendance The Awards. (Special to the Eagle.) Locust Valley, L.

Jamaica People's Pets Given a Fatal Dose by Some Enemy Detectives Set at Work. Eleven valuable pet dogs belonging to the residents of Jamaica, in the Hillside avenue district, were poisoned Wednesday night by some unknown persons. The dogs had been lured out of their kennels in the yards, and come out into the street, where the poison was given them. Whether Is was poisoned meat or some other preparation is not known. All that is known In regard to the poisoning crusade is that when the residents woke up in the morn ing, and went out of doors to their busi ness or to call in their pets to be fed, they found them lying dead on the grass or in the street.

Among the parties who have lost dogs are John O'Donnell, who lost two valuable Irish setters; Harry Sutphin, borough commissioner of Public Works, one dog; Dr. A. C. MrLachlan. principal of the Jamaica Training School, a Scotch collie; T.

H. Mclntyre, a St. Bernard and William D. Bennett of Wlllet street, a valuable hunting dog. The people are at a loss to give any reason for the poisoning.

They have frequently heard of burglars killing dogs to prevent attack when looting houses, but on this particular night there were no burglars heard by the residents. Some of the victims believe that the attack on dogs was preliminary to burglars' raid later on. Others are of the opinion that It might have been the work of some one who had been annoyed at night by the barking of the dogs. J.0 matter what was the reason for the killing, the dogs are doad. and the police station was yesterday filled me sorrowful owners, asking that the guilty party be brought to Justice.

Detec tives have been placed on the case, and expect to discover the person who dis tributed the poison. it. was said this morning that a num ber of prominent residents of that place have organized and will raise a fund to carry on the investigation. Among the promoters of the fund are Court Stenog rapher John J. Hendrlckson, Municipal Justice James McLaughlin and Patrick Ahearn.

Mr. Ahearn lost two Irish terriers valued at $150 each. The latest estimate is that not loss than twenty dogs were poisoned, and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has directed Agent Westervelt to make a rigid inquiry into the matter.
