Two hundred thousand pawntickets, more or less, were carried up into the Surrogate's Court, this morning, by two grinning negro porters and deposited in a heap, about six feet long and four feet high, in one corner of the room. They represented the transactions in the pawnshop of the late Arthur J.

The officers were summoned to Washington by the Secretary and when he met them this morning he told them that he wanted them to scale down the cost of running their navy yards.

The Secretary Is bent on saving JIO.000,000 in the cost of maintaining the navy next year as compared with the bills for the current year. He believes that the largest economies may be practiced at the navy yards. Captain Murdock, commandant of the Brooklyn Navy Yard, Is attending the conference. As more money Is spent at this yard than at any other naval station In the country the burden of saving the dollars will fall heaviest on It. It Is not known In what departments Captain Murdock will recommend that savings be made, but it is apparent that there will be reductions in the Brooklyn yard payrolls and other hardships as a result of this conference.

LITTLE TIM'S PLEDGE Henry H. nogers, vice president of tb Standard Oil Company, and one of the great powers in the financial world, died early this morning at his city home, East Seventy-eighth street, Manhattan. Mr. Rogers' death was entirely unexpected a half hour before Its occurrence, as he had been In unusually good health for some time, though he had never quite recovered from an opoplectio stroke of two years ago. Apoplexy was the cause of his He was seized this morning while still In bed, and he lived less than an hour after the attack began.

Mr. Rogers was an early riser, and "New Fire Limits Aren't Adopted; And Will Be Changed if Governor's Son at Ehode Island Hospital Suffering From Meningitis. Providence, R. May 19 No aprecla-ble Improvement was noted this morning in tho condition of Charles E. Hughes.

son of the Governor of New York, who Is at the Rhode Island Hospital here suffering from cerebro spinal meningitis. The patient passed a good night, however, and was resting comfortably this morning. Young Mr. Hughes was taken to the hospital yesterday from Brown University, where he Is a member of the senior class. The patient's condition shortly before noon was suited by the physicians at the hospital to be slightly better.

Mrs. Hughes, wife of the Governor, was by her sou's bedside to-day. CAN'T FIND HIS WIFE had Just started to get out of bed at ARRESTED IN CHICAGO a short time ago from San Francisco. At present she is living at 346 Christopher street. Brownsville, with her cousin, who is boarding her.

After her marriage to Isaac he decided that there was a better chance for the tailoring business iu San Francisco, and with her savings they moved there and opened a shop. Things were most prosperous until one day when Isaac was out a letter came to hlin. She thought it was a trade letter and opened it. The writer addressed Isaac as "Dear Huttjand." There was trouble that night when Isaac came home, and after a quur-rcl he left the house. That was the last she saw of him.

She tried to keep the business going, but found it was impossible, so she camo to New York, whence the disturbing letter had come. Here she finally found that lssac, who Is 30, really had a wife In Manhattan, W'hom ho had deserted for her. She traced this woman about the East Side for a while, and finally located her at 139 Forsyth street. Both of the wives had. a good cry over Isaac, and they Joined forces In an effort to get their hands on him.

Mollie learned from the other woman that the first marriages had been contracted Russia ten years ago. and that there were two daughters as a result of the union. Recently Mollie learned something which leads her to think that Isaac Is in Los Angeles. maybe with another wife. "For he'll get another wife.

You may be sure of that." said Mollie to a reporter this morning, with deep conviction. Mollie went to Adams street court to get a warrant for Isaac's arrest, and was told as the offense was committed In Manhattan the Brooklyn authorities had no Jurisdiction in, that -matter; but a warrant for the man's arrest for abandonment may be issued, and the local' charities authorities will be asked to take care of Mollie's baby. Then she may go to work. She does not want any charity for herself, she explains, and she will pay the board of her child when she can. 6:30 o'clock, when he noticed his left arm Professor Newman, there could have been no collusion be ONLY CRITICS MUST APPEAR.

of tragedy would be unfolded, but it is not certain that even the names on the tickets will be introduced in evidence. A truck was hired to carry these pawntickets and the books of the business to the court. There are dozens of huge ledgers which were brought in also and placed on the floor beside the pile of tickets. One of the accountants employed to examine the records of the business was on the stand this morning and during his examination thirty large and heavy books and many bundles of records were introduced in evidence. The books carried the records of loans mtide on watches, jewelry and dry goods, as well as other articles, and the clerks in the Surrogate Ketcham's court are beginning to wonder if they will have to hire a warehouse to store the documents during the trial of the case.

Matthew Whalen, the former manager of the pawnshop, stated this morning that tho loans spoken of yesterday which he had secured from other pawnbrokers on goods taken from the Heaney establishment and repawned were made in the eoursi; of the business. He described this practice as being similar to reinsurance, where one fire insurance company divides up the amount of its risks among several other companies. He said that the articles had been pawned in other Bhops merely to raise cash once In a while for use In the business, and that the articles had often been redeemed the next day. This morning's session brought out very little of interest beyond the Introduction of records. Charles H.

Magistrate O'Reilly Acting Captain Kuhne of the local headquarters bureau received word this morn-ing of the arrest, in Chicago, of William Weaver, who is reputed to be a lawyer with.ottlces with H. M. Burr at 302 Broadway, Manhattan, on a charge of having robbed his w.fe, formrly Annie Phesteay of $3,000. The captain also received the disquieting information that the wife was In Chicago, too, and was doing her level best there to get William out of the scrape. The Information from the Chicago police was that they had held William, awaiting further advices and that they also had taken from him the sum of $3,000, which they had for safe keeping.

Kuhne sent a message back to Chicago by wire advising the police to hold on to the man and the money and informing them that detectives from Brooklyn would soon be in Chicago to get him. Weaver has been indicted by the Grand was the decision reached by tho revision commission."

Rogers' daugh himself was called by tho plaintiff attorney to testify as to his method of keeping the accounts of the estate. He said that he merely kept the rent book and the bank books, and that the other books of the business were kept by the employes of the pawnshop. Surrogate Ketcham said that It was no reflection upon his efficiency as a trustee not to hare kept the books of the business himself, or not to have known the exact details of all the accounts. It is believed that the magistrate will be recalled to the stand at a later stage of the and to keep It fixed in their minds. The committee then drove off In the carriage, and the Mr.

The fatal attack of apoplexy was the second within two years. It was Just about two years ago that he had his first serious attack, and he never quiet recovered his health, though he was ner- in his application, a complete recital of his marital troubles. He admitted to the magistrate that he did not care so much about finding out what became of the furniture moved by his wife from their home on May 3, as he did about locating her. The moving man said Caywood was obstreperous when he called for the Information, and so did not obtain it. When Magistrate Dooley heard thiB, and read Caywood's application for the summons, he threw th case out of court.

Caywood went Into his personal history In detail. He said he weighed 240 pounds, was a member of -the Royal Arcanum and other fraternal organizations, was 42 years old, was left a widower In 1S93, with children 5 and 4 years old, and was married the second time In 1S97. His reasons for the second marriage were "a desire for a home, and to get her out the show business." Mrs. Caywood second had been a singer. lie said his wife had deserted him for two days in 1906, and again In 1907, but each time he took her back "'for the children's sake." His latest trouble he of the Clarendon to await their return.

Fifty-five minutes passed before the men came back when all hands went again to the hotel parlor, where Neuman was blindfolded with two handkerchiefs. He then gathered the committee about him, thumbed over the pages of the telephone book, until the page was reached containing the address. He then asked the men to concentrate their minds on the number and the party got into the carriage. Neuman was still blindfolded, and sitting on the front seat with the driver, he waved his arm to indicate the direction he wished the carriage to take. It was driven past the Eagle Building, and was held up' by a policeman at Myrtle avenue, who wanted to know what all the fuss was about.

The matter was explained, and the carriage proceeded up Fulton street to Red Hook lane. Here Neuman ordered the driver to. turn back. The carriage then went down Fulton street to Ttllary, and Neuman got out, holding tightly to the arm of Mr. Henderson.

He dragged the latter into a saloon, but ran out again in a hurry. He walked around in circles for. a while, and finally asked everybody to get into the carriage, which went back up Fulton street to the Court House and turned haps as strong and active as the majority (Special to the Eagle.) Washington, May 19 Senator Aldrich withdrew one of the. worst looking Jokers In the tariff bill to-day when he presented an amendment striking out certain sections of paragraph 194. The parts omitted provided for putting on the free list for a period of two years the levers and Goughrough lacemaking machines.

All other lacemaking machines are subjected to a duty of 45 per cent. This provision was denounced by the association of importers of lace3 and embroideries of New York, who charged that it was a Joker devised to benefit the American Textile Company of Pawtucknt, R. I. This firm, it was charged, had an Interest in a lacemaking factory at Calais. France, and that the joker was drafted In order to permit the Rhode Island concern to bring into the country, freo of duty, 60 or 60 lever and Goughrough lacemaking machines from the subsidiary company.

It was such a palpable bit of special legislation and aroused so much objection that Senator Aldrich to-day decided to kill it.

Mr. Rogers worked to the verv last. by a woman, who claimed to be Mrs. William Weaver of 417 Halsey street. She was very resentful, for she said the man had not only taken $3,000 in cash from her, but had another wife.

She told the authorities a long story about her troubles and she was clearly very, very angry at William for having deceived her. They had been married only In January last and had Bpent some most delightful days together. Their home was at 417 Halsey street, but the woman, who was a widow before she married William, had some money and had Invested a part of it in the house next door, at 417A Halsey street. There was a mortgage of $3,000 on this house and the woman drew the $3,000 from the bank In order to pay it off. Weaver, being a law person, said he would attend to all the legal matters of the household without any expense and he took the $3,000.

Only the timely intervention of somo other aldermen prevented a fist fight last Monday.

"Little Tim" Sullivan, the acting mayor and leader of the majority In the Board of Aldermen announced to-day that the people of Brooklyn would get a square deal on tho proposed extension of the fire limits. "The people of Brooklyn should understand that this code has not yet been adopted by the Board of Aldermen. It has been merely presented.

Ho gave his name as Benjamin Sam, 17 years old, of Colorado. Benjamin was arrested this morning at the corner of Third street and Fifth avenue, while he was in the act of singing and dancing for the amusement of all the children in the neighborhood. When questioned by Magistrate Voorhees. he said that he had followed Buffalo Bill for four years and was getting J2S0 a night for doing the high dive act.

He then tried to illustrate this act by climbing upon the bar in the court room, but several officers brought him to the floor again. The prisoner then asked the magistrate what he was going to do with him, and when told that he was to be locked up, said: 'Oh. I am much obliged. I have a bank book In my pocket for JlO.Ono, and 1 guess you will take that for bail, will you not?" Benjamin Sam also said that he Is known all around the world as Jack Baker, and claimed the honor, of teaching "Fauline," who is now appearing at one of Brooklyn's leading theaters, the art of hypnotism. "Why, yes," said he, "Pauline Is one of my pupils, and if anybody wants to learn the art, he refers them all to me."

The door was locked, and the professor began to handle the shoe boxes very enrvously.

He finally grabbed Mr. Matthews by tho wrist, and made him run his hand over the fronts of the boxes. Both men finally stood on chairs, and after a ehort Interval, Neuman selected a box on a high shelf, put his hand under the shoes and produced Mr. Matthews' pearl-handled knife, which sure enough was the article that had been hidden. The members of the committee congratulated Neuman warmly on the success of his test, and agreed that it was a remarkable demonstration of his power.

In speaking of the matter afterward, Mr. Matthews said that the committee had driven first to the Hotel Margaret, then to the St. George Hotel, and finally to the Elks' house on Schermerhorn street. Here they told the driver to wait, and the four men walked to the store on Fulton street, hid the knife, and walked back to where the carriage had been left, driving from there to the hotel. Even If they had been followed by a confederate of Neuman, there was little or no chance for him to communicate with the professor, who was watched closely from start to finish.

The box In which the knife was hidden was one of several hundred identical In sUc and shape. and the fact that the mindreader picked out th box in lesB than five minutes makes his feat quite remarkable.

I can assure Brooklyn that such an amendment will be Incorporated In the code before It Is adopted.

The aldermen will be guided solely by public sentiment and if the sentiment In Brooklyn Is against the fire limits, as proposed in the new-code, they will be changed- to conform with this sentiment. "For that, reason It seems to me it might be a good idea for the people who are Interested In the subject in Brooklyn to attend these public hearings.

Mr. Rogers opened up his summer home at his birthplace, Fairhaven, Mass. tho first of this month.

He went to Fair-haven last Friday and stayed there Saturday and Sunday, returning to his city house on Monday morning. When he returned to his office, his associates told him they had not seen him looking to well in months. Wall Street Reluctant to Believe News of Death. The news of Mr. Rogers' death spread rapidly, but It was not generally believed.

In fact, the report was discredited on the Stock Exchange for some time after the opening of the market. Brokers said they had heard the report too many times before to take any stock in it. Gradually the news was confirmed, but Its confirmation was so slow and gradual that all the shock was taken away and there was very little excitement on the exchange. It wbb expected that there would be a break in the so-called Standard Oil stocks, but all tho stocks bore up well. The chief stocks in which Mr.

Rogers and "Standard Oil" had a great interest were Amalgamated Copper. Consolidated Gas, St. Paul and Anaconda Copper. Amalgamated went off 1H. Anaconda Consolidated Gas 1, and while there were no snles of Standard Oil stock, the bid price-was one point below the last sale.

It is said that one -of the reasons that Impelled William to quit tho Job under Mr. Roosevelt was the refusal of the latter to ask for the resignation of Murray.

Murray is the man who claims to have "discovered" Theodore Roosevelt and given him his first start In politics.
