WORKING TO WIN STATES.

GIVING BRYAN LITTLE AID Presidential Candidate's Friends View With Alarm the Attitude of Many Leaders. SULLIVAN'S VIEW IS TYPICAL. "We Are Going to Elect Our State Ticket; I Don't Know About Bryan." National Committeeman Roger Sullivan, the Democratic boss of Illinois, was at the Democratic headquarters at the Hoffman House the other day. He was asked about the political outlook in his state. "We are going to elect our state ticket," replied Sullivan promptly and with a note of optimism in his voice.

"Will Bryan carry the state?" "Well--I don't know about Bryan. But," up again, "we will elect our brightenins, Governor sure. Yes, I think that Stevenson will get. a clear plurality and win without any doubt." National Committeeman McGraw of West Virginia had a conference recently with his old Colonel Jim Guffey of Pennsylvania delegates were friend, ousted from the Denver convention under orders from Lincoln, Neb. McGraw asked Guffey for some cash to help him out in West Virginia.

"To carry the state for Bryan?" queried Guffey, suspiciously. "Not at all," replied McGraw, "but to carry it for the state ticket. Bryan hasn't got a chance of winning in our state, but we have a splendid opportunity to elect our candidate for governor. A little finanfor cial whelp will just about clinch things McGraw got some money from Guffey on the understanding that it was to be used to help the state ticket and not Bryan. Incidents like the foregoing are hapreal a alarm sincere friends of pening with such, frequency as to cause Bryan.

They are slowly waking up to a realization that in many of the important states the local Democratic leaders are giving two thoughts to the state ticket to one thought to the national ticket. In other words, far more attention is being paid to the task of electing Democratic governors and other state officials than to electing Bryan and Kern. "The Democratic party in this campaign," said a prominent Democrat who for years has had an official connection with the Democratic national committee, "is nothing more than a local party. The local leaders in the various states are bending all their energies to carry the election for their local tickets and are letting Bryan get along as best he can." The situation that obtains in New York state is typical of the case in practically every debatable state. Chairman Conners and other state leaders believe that Bryan has only a slight chance of success, but have high hopes of beating Hughes.

They are putting up a great fight for Chanler. Everything that is being done is in his behalf. In Indiana the same thing is true. The Democrats have nominated for governor Thomas Marshall, one of the most popular men in the state, and they believe he is sure to win. The Republicans have only faint hopes of electing their candidate, ex-Representative Jim Watson.

They are as blue as indigo over the prospects of the state ticket, but believe that Taft will beat Bryan for Indiana's electoral vote. Former Vive President Adlai E. Stevenson is the Democratic candidate in 11- linois. He has the united party back of him and is believed to have a splendid chance of winning. The most optimistic Illinois Democrat will hardly have the nerve to claim the state for Bryan.

Ohio Democrats have an exceptionally strong state ticket in the field, headed by Judson Harmon, a popular man and a strong man. The Republican party in the state is split into factions, and has the opposition of the powerful liquor ring in Cincinnati, in the county which usually swings the election one way or the other. Ohio Democrats confidently claim that they will carry the state for Harmon, but when you ask them about Bryan's chances they like to change the subject. "We are going to beat Lilley for governor," declared a Connecticut Democrat at the Hoffman House the other day. "The state ticket is a strong one and Lilley has so many enemies that I believe we can snow him under." "Will you carry the state for Bryan, too?" "I think not.

Taft is too strong for him." All this is discouraging to the Bryan supporters. Some of them. however, believe that the national candidate is bound to profit by the activity in behalf of the various local tickets, and that the vigorous whooping up of things for Democratic candidates for governor in the doubtful states is just as good as though it. were all in behalf of Bryan. They admit reluctantly that the chief interest among Democrats in the debatable states is centered in the fight for governor rather than for President.

"The people have grown tired of Bryan in the role of candidate for President." said a frank-speaking Democrat. "But they will never weary of listening to him as an entertainer. That's the ditference." "PACEMAKER" AT NAVY YARD. New Rating Devised by Naval Constructor Evans for the Acceleration of Work. A new rating will soon be added to schedule of the Board of Labor of the Brooklyn Navy Yard.

It will be that of "pacemaker." It been added to the list of the Mare Island Navy has, Yard, and Naval Constructor Holden A. Evans, of that yard, who is now at the Brooklyn yard on temporary duty, is the man who first suggested the adoption of the new rating. It is claimed that it has worked wonders in the Mare Island yard. Mr. Evans can truly be called the "accelerator" of the Department.

According to his system, the shop forces are not only divided into piecework gangs, but also into speed gangs, and there are not only work bosses, but also speed bosses. A speedmeter is attached to every machine in the yard, and the alacrity with which each seperate job is consummated is recorded. Odometers are to be attached to all of the navy yard trucks; messengers and pushcart men are to be supplied with pedometers; speed attachments are to be fastened to all of the typewriting machines; Bandmaster Reinhold Schultz has been directed to play everything allegretto during his daily concerts, and, it is predicted, that the spools of official red tape will revolve more quickly than heretofore. If the Navy Department will introduce the promised increase in wages for the classified employes, it will be more effective in acceleration than any other device. REFEREES APPOINTED.

It Serves to Make a Tangled Matter More Complicated Than Ever.

The question as to the missing horse of the Hollis Fire Department is still an unsolved one, and has been given new interest by the story told by Kilian Schmidt, a member of the Columbia Hose Company, which has just been made public. Mr. Schmidt asserts that on Friday night. of last week, following the appearance of the Eagle's story in regard to the lost horse, J. F.

Heinemann telephoned him, requesting him to call at his house and secure a horse for the use of the hose company. Mr. Schmidt asserts that he did So; that Heinemann gave him a horse from his barn; that he took the horse around to various stables, not having any stable of his own, but that he could find no place to keep the animal, one stableowner objecting on the ground that there was too much publicity connected with the affair. So he returned the steed to ex-Chief Heinemann. Heinemann, on the other hand, says that no such transaction occurred, and contradicts Schmidt at every point.

The hose company is siding with Schmidt's version, and the members are debating concerning the connection of the horse which he alleges to have received Friday from Mr. Heinemann, with the animal which the company alleges the ex-chief has, without authority, kept away from the hose company. The truck company members still proclaim the innocence of their former chief, and brand the entire story as a false one. 3 SUSPECTS ARRESTED. Richmond Hill Police Believe They Are on the Trail of Morris Park Burglars.

Since twelve homes in Morris Park, Queens borough, were entered by burglars, early on Monday morning, as told in the Eagle, the police of the Two Hundred and Eighty-third (Richmond Hill) Precinet. bave been hard at work trying to catch the burglars. Early this morning a colored man and two white men, were arrested by Detectives Hussey, Lawlor Dugan. They are technically charged with being suspicious persons, but the detectives hope they will be able to connect them with the burglaries. The three prisoners are Walter Foster, 29 years old, colored; Albert Beddow.

22 years old, and John Kiernan, 30 years old. All of them sleep in a stable on Beech street, near Jamaica avenue, and that is the address that they gave. The detectives suspected that these men were connected with the wholesale burglary, and last night every available man in the precinct was out in plain clothes watching for them. The stable was watched, and SO were the trolley cars on Jamaica and Myrtle avenues, for the detectives had learned that the trio had gone to a cheap theater in this borough. Shortly after midnight the three alighted from a Myrtle avenue car and they were immediately pounced upon by Officers Hussey, Lawlor and Dugan, who had been hiding near where they were sure to get off.

They were locked up for the remainder of the night and will be arraigned in the Far Rockaway police court to-day. CRUEL DRIVERS ARRAIGNED. Many Cases of This Class Heard by Jamaica Court of Special Sessions. In the Court of Special Sessions at Jamaica yesterday a number of persons were fined on the charge of cruelty to animals. On the plea that he was an old soldier out of work, the fine of $25 imposed on Jacob Sturmlaufer of Hammels, who was accused of driving a horse with sores on it, was reduced to.

$10. A $20 fine was imposed upon Anthony Shaffer of East Williamsburg for driving a sick horse, and a $10 fine on Jacob Emer of Glendale. On the plea of ignorance of their horses' condition, James McLaughlin of Jamaica, Samuel W. Webb of Flushing, Morris W. Crane of Brooklyn and Edward Vale of Manhattan were declared to be not guiity, while John Ubeonsky of Long Island City and Harry Gaynor received a suspension of sentence.

Michael Higgins of Jamaica said that he had sold his sore horse, had driven a newly purchased horse three hundred feet from the horse dealer, and was about to take it back when arrested. Sentence was suspended. For striking John Damaro of 17 North Portland avenue, Brooklyn, on the head during a strike of the lamplighters, Vito Vivetale was fined $25, in lieu of which he was to serve twenty days in jail. He served the jail sentence, GOODALE WINS AGAIN. Port Washington Man Gets $2,275 Verdict Against Brooklynite.

(Special to the Eagle.) Mineola, L. October 7--Benjamin E. Goodale Port Washington received a verdict. for $2,275.15 in the Supreme Court yesterday afternoon, in an action brought by him for commission on sale of real estate against John B. Carey, a Supreme Court reporter in Kings County, with a residence at Roslyn.

The trial was the second concerning the issue, Goodale receiving a verdict on the first trial, but the jury failed to sign it in regular form, as required by law. 5TH ARTILLERY ANNIVERSARY.

Lepede was attended at the Jamaica Hospital. BROOKLYNITE CHOSEN, New Haven, October 6-Harold Phelps Stokes of New York City was elected class secretary at the meeting of the senior academic class of Yale University -night. Leonard Kennedy of Brooklyn was chosen class historian. LOOTERS OF APARTMENT LEFT TENEMENT A PUZZLE Note, Which Sleuths Can't Make Head-or-Tail of, Put Into Letter Box.

MRS. BRADLEY THE VICTIM. Thieves on Hancock Street Not Professionals-Other Robberies in the Section. When Mrs. William Bradley returned home yesterday afternoon she found that her apartment at 305 street had been ransacked and silverware of conI siderable value stolen.

Before leaving the premises the thief dropped a brief note in the letter box of Mrs. Bradley, reading: "Please send to the- Two words followed completing the sentence, but were scrawled so badly as to be unintelligible. The note was written in ink, apparently with a fountain pen and on a small slip of paper, advertising a certain make of shoes. Mrs. Bradley went out for a short while yesterday afternoon, to do some shopping.

On returning she discovered that the door had been forced with a jimmy, the sideboard in the diningroom turned topsy-turvy, the bureaus and dressers throughout the apartment searched through and everything in general disorder. The work, however, does not look like that of an experienced burglar, for many articles plainly of value were not touched, although they lay in plain view, while articles of no value except to the owners were taken. The police of the Gates avenue station were notified immediately, and detectives were set on the case. Mrs. Bradley showed them the note which the burlar or burglars left behind, but the sleuths frankly admitted themselves unable to make anything of it.

The last two words which cannot be made out, look as if they might be "address," spelled with one and either "East" or "West," making the note: "Please send to the address East, or "West." As well as breaking into the Bradley apartments, an effort was made to get into the apartment of a Mrs. Heinz, on the floor above. Marks were left 01 the door where an attempt was made to force a jimmy into the crack and spring the lock. Apparently, the lock didn't spring, for there were no evidences that the intruders had been in the Heinz apartment. The fact that the thief or thieves did not force the lock of the Heinz flat gives further weight to the belief that they were not "professionals," for an experienced burglar with a jimmy would not have to spring the lock, but could easily enough have broken it.

The looting of the Bradley apartments add another to the list of mysterious robberies, plainly the work of inexperienced thieves, but, nevertheless, suecessful, in the Bedford section, wherein articles of very evident value were passed over for articles of little or 10 value. In every one of these cases the doors of the apartments were forced with jimmy. The only exception to the rule, in the particular matter of overlooking articles of value, was very recently, when the house of Mrs. Rebecca Jackson was robbed, on Decatur street, as told in the Eagle. The work there was plainly that of thoroughly experlenced burglars.

Although detectives of two precincts are working on the burglaries, no arrests have as yet been made. Two "awning men" are making the rounds up town. They were heard from yesterday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Catherine Barton, 195 Van Buren street. They asked permission to take down the awnings on the house and worked very industriously.

They seemed so engaged with their work that nobody suspected that they might belong to the light fingered gentry, and they were permitted to go about unaccompanied. After the pair had received their pay and departed Mrs. Barton learned that something like $25 worth of valuables had disappeared. She told the police about the visitors and described them closely. Each was about 18 years old, she said, a and one had red hair and was slender, while the other had dark hair and complexion and was about five feet two inches.

SAYS CATHERINE STOLE. Catherine Fagle, 14 years old, who lives with her parents at 116 Skillman avenue, was arrested yesterday afternoon by Detective Maxwell of the Herbert street station on the complaint of Mrs. Norah Ryan, who has confectonery store at 315 Leonard street. She says Catherine opened the cash drawer and stole 45 cents and ran away. She was taken to the Children's Court this morning and held for examination.

NO HUNTS ON RACE DAYS. Meadowbrook Hounds Will Not Run While Auto Races Are in Progress, (Special to the Eagle.) Meadowbrook, L. October 7-Owing to the fact that hundreds of automobiles from all sections will be in Nassau County on October 10 and 24, the Meadowbrook Hunt Club has decided to cancel the drag hunts that were to be held on those days, and thus prevent accidents where hunters are crossing roads over which scores of automobiles are passing. Owing to his accident. Samuel Willets, the master of hounds of the club, will be unable to ride again for several weeks, possibly not until the end of the hunting season, In order that the lovers of both fox and drag hunting may have a good season of sport, Mr.

Willets has appointed two field masters who will look after hunting until Mr. Willets is able to ride again. Ralph N. Ellis, for eight years master of hounds of the Meadowbrook Club, will look after the fox hunting as soon as the quarantine against the pack is raised, and Harry S. Page, the well known cross country rider and owner of away SO many honors in amateur steeplechase horses, who has carried events, will hunt the pack of English drag hounds.

The drag hunt held yesterday over the north country of Nassau County, in the vicinity of Wheatley Hills, Jericho and Locust Valley, brought out a good sized stiff hunting country, not one cropper field, and although the line led over some occurred and none of the riders were unseated, and when the huntsman, M. Hanlon, drew rein at the finishing point, near Piping Rock, those with him were H. S. Page, J. S.

Phipps, Mrs. Frederick Swift, Mrs. G. T. Hughes, Frank Grey Griswold.

William C. Hayes. H. V. Bell, Thomas Hitchcock.

Allan Pinkerton, H. E. Drier and Whip William Murphy. The hunt met at the Jericho Toll Gate and the chase led across the M. S.

Burrell property and then circled north toward Jericho and over the Ralph N. Ellis property to Wheatley Hills and thence to the Blue Hotel, near Piping Rock, where the finish occurred. Three years ago the high bred huntters would have been thrown into a panic by the appearance of an automobile and at that time scores of carriages were at the meeting points filled with spectators. These conditions were changed yesterday and not one trap or carriage was to be seen, while fully twenty large touring cars were drawn up alongside the road where the hunt party met, HER LETTER TO FURLONG SAYS HE HELD WRONG BOY Sister of John McCabe Insists It Was Another McCabe Who Was Accused. MAGISTRATE IS INTERESTED.

Charge Was Burglary, and Matter Is Serious--Woman Will Be Brought to Court to Explain, Magistrate Furlong is anxious to learn if he held an intocent young man for the Grand Jury charge of burglary, yesterday, and allowed a guilty one to escape. A letter which reached the magat the Gates avenue court, this istrate morning, informed him that a mistake had been made and stated that it ought to be corrected. He immediately directed that a subpena be issued for the writer letter and that the detective be communicated with in order that a further investigation be made. The letter received by Magistrate Furlong stated that it was Robert McCabe and not John McCabe who was connocted with the robbery. The letter, signed "Mrs.

M. Houston, 49 South Tenth street," was dated October 6, and that the writer was a sister of stated John McCabe, a and he was in bed at the time of the robbery. The letter, in full, was as follows: "My dear Judge Furlong--Pardon the liberty I take in writing to you. I am the sister of John McCabe, and I beg you to please give this your closest attention, as the young man who was in the robbery was Robert McCabe. He was discharged and my brother, who was in bed at the time, was held for the Grand Jury on account of the name being alike, fear there must be some mistake.

There is also one of the young men, by the name of Galiger, and another Quinlan, who are now around Sandford street. that done the robbery, and if they are caught will clear my brother. I have never had any trouble like this before, hope you win please do all you can and help me place the crime where it belongs. Thanking you beforehand, I remain, respectfully yours, "MRS. H.

HOUSTON. "49 South Tenth Street." John McCabe, 21 years old, of 178 Sumner avenue, and John Cullen, 17, of 11 Lafayette street, were arraigned in the Gates avenue court Sunday morning, September 27, charged with having robbed Maurice Korber, a tailor at 728 Bedford avenue, of goods valued at $200. They had been arrested by Detective Reynolds of local headquarters. Both pleaded not guilty and were held for examination. Korber claims that eleven overcoats, ten pairs of trousers, three men's suits and several other garments belonging to himself and his customers, had been stolen, and he believed the accused guilty as he had seen some of his property in their possession in a pawnshop.

The detectives, satisfied that a gang had "turned the trick." went out and arrested several other boys, among them Robert McCabe, 16 years old, of 789 Myrtle avenue. These were charged with vagrancy and remanded. When the prisoners were brought before Magistrate Higginbotham last week, there were a number of women in court to speak for the boys. The women became so earnest in their pleadings that Magistrate Higginbotham asked the boys why the guilty did not speak up and save the innocent. But there was none to speak, and all were held for examination yesterday.

John McCabe and Cullen were held for the grand jury without bail. The boys the police, it is said, consenting. When arrested as vagrants were discharged, Magistrate Furlong read Mrs. Houston's letter, he spoke right up from the bench. "What does this mean?" said he.

"This woman declares that her brother, John McCabe has been held by mistake for Robert McCabe, and if this is so it does not reflect much credit on these detectives who consented to the discharge of Robert McCabe. I want a thorough investigation made. Let the woman who wrote this letter be brought to court by subpena if necessary, in order that she may tell her story about this matter. Surely this is no credit to Commissioner Bingham's department if what this woman says is true." Magistrate Furlong handed letter to Officer Hauertt, who was on bridge the instructed him to take it to headquarters. TWO POLICEMEN "MUGGED." Bird and Reid Begged Pitifully to Be Spared Humiliation of the Rogues Gallery.

When Central Office detectives looked over the long line of prisoners "stood up" at headquarters in Manhattan this morning for the inspection of the sleuths. they found among the number two fellow members of the police force, Sergeant Peter J. Bird and Patrick J. Reid, who were arrested last night as a result of the commissioners of accounts investigation into the alleged grafting in the License Bureau at the City Hall. After spending the night in cells at headquarters, the sergeant and patrolman were lined up with the regular oners of all kinds.

When Inspector McCafferty reached the two men he ordered the detectives to take a good look at them, and gave the reason for their arrest. That both men were deeply affected by their plight was evident. They stood, pale and with downcast eyes, as Inspector McCafferty gave details of their arrest. Although they begged pitifully to be spared the humiliation of having their pictures -taken for the Rogues Gallery, Inspector McCafferty was obdurate, and the men were "mugged" as were the other prisoners, and their finger prints taken, and they were measured according to the Bertillon system, with its exactions. Birl and Reid were arraigned before Magistrate Corrigan in the Tombs police court, and held on short amdavits in $2,500 bail each for examination next Wednesday.

In the short affidavits made by Detectives Fitzsimmons and Flood of the district attorney's office, Bird is charged with extortion and Reid with perjury. Bird's alleged crime was committed April 10, 1907, when it is charged he demanded $200 from Miss Dorothy Mason of 411 West One Hundred and Fortyninth street, who was about to open a moving picture machine show. The woman, it is alleged, gave Bird $50, which he accepted, So that she would be given a license from the Bureau of Licenses. Reid is accused of perjuring himself before the investigation into the affairs of the Bureau of Licenses. MISTOOK THE BOTTLE.

Dulser Drank Turpentine for Whisky and Was Pumped Out. Fatal results came very near following the mistake of George Dulser, 41 years old, of 100 Guernsey street, Greenpoint, when he swallowed a dose of turpentine in mistake for medicine. Dulser has been troubled with a stomach complaint for some time. Yesterday Dulser went to the cellar to get some whisky, but in his hurry he opened the wrong bottle and swallowed a quantity of turpentine. He immediately fell to the door in agony.

Dr. Keyes of the Eastern District Hospital pumped him out, and he is recovering. SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENTS. SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENTS. Frauds Will Be Prosecuted The wide popularity of the special shoes originated by James S.

MIGHT INCRIMINATE HIM. Manager Fish of Defunct Havens Firm Refuses to Answer Question, The creditors of the defunct brokerage firm of E. B. Havens Co. have organized a protective committee and were represented by counsel in the hearing before Referee Stoutenburgh in the Federal building yesterday.

The principal witness was George B. Fish, the general manager and principal bookeeper of the firm. Lawyer Kamber, counsel for the creditors committee, went deeply into Mr. Fish's bookkeeping methods. It was shown that many transactions in which the firm engaged were not entered on the books at all.

Manager Fish explained that if a matter were finished in one day it was not the custom to make any entry concerning it. The ledger, it turned out, was only approximately correct, as Mr. Fish sometimes was behind in his work. This explanation did not satisfy the lawyer, who sought more specific information from Fish. "I can't answer," the bookkeeper said, when a particularly, searching question was put to him.

"Why not?" asked the lawyer. Mr. Fish admitted that an answer might. tend to incriminate him. It turned out, too, that Mrs.

Maud C. Fish, the manager's wife, had an account with the Havens firm, and that Fish had loaned money to his law. Thomas W. Pierce, a public accountant, who had gone over the books, said they were unbalanced, and had been unbalanced for a considerable time. KILLED BY A STREET CAR.
