The brlndle cow that County Judge Burt Jay Humphrey, of Jamaica, was milking recently when a lawyer called to present an argument, and who listened to the lawyer's oratory as patiently as the Judge, has again sprung Into prominence, Last Friday night she acted as watch dog on Judge Humphrey's place, warning him when thieves were busy in his sweet corn field.

Judge Humphrey, who hustled out In his pajamas, gun in hand, did not overtake the thieves, who made off in a wagon, but he told "sookey" what a good cow she was and gave her some of the corn she had saved for him. Judge Humphrey lives on a large place, almost sufficient in size to be termed a farm, fronting on Grand street. His corn has been of the best. Whether its repu tation was spread by some of his guests or whether the moonlight revealed its beauties Friday night, Is not known. However that may have been, "Sookey" all unbeknown to her master, was standing guard, while patiently chewing her cud.

A wagon stopped out on the road and some men climbed out and entered the yard. Spying the cow and feeling thirsty, they procured a cup and soon separated part of the Judge's breakfast from its manufacturer. To that operation "Sookey" said, or mooed, nothing. Then the men entered the cornfield, hard by, and started to pull ears of ripe corn from the stalks. "Mo-o-o-o-o!" said "Sookey," and then again, "Mo-o-o-o-o!" "Sookey's singing to the moon," sleepily said Judge Humphrey to his wife.

"Mo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o!" persisted "Sookey." The judge walked out upon the upper porch and then ran hastily in for his gun. "Thieves in the corn," eaid ho. "That bully old cow is giving the alarm." He madegood time to the corn field, which is but a short distance from the house, but the thieves must have heard him leave the house, for they fled incontinently, one upsetting and abandoning the cup of milk he had been drinking when surprised. The wagon was driven south. "Fine old cow, you shall have some corn yourself," said the judge.

She rubbed her wet muzzle against his shoulder with such vigor, by way of thanks, that the pajamas had to be changed when he re-entered the house. "I believe the reason 'Sookey" gave the warning early this morning is this." said Judge Humphrey yesterday. "Whenever I pull any corn. I always give the stalks to the cow. When corn Is pulled and she does not Immediately benefit, she awakens the echoes.

She is better than any watch dog. Whoever heard of a watch dog living on corn husks? And, besides, she gives milk when thieves do not get ahead of me," he added. NO CANDIDATE NAMED. Queens Fourth A. TJ.

Telephone, -No. 131 Mais, Narrow Escapes From Collisions With Street Cars Finally Stopped by a Policeman. Three persons were injured, one It is feared fatally, by a runaway horse which started from the corner of Smith and Fulton streets at about 7:30 o'clock last night The marvel was that there were so few mishaps, for the horse made a remarkable run down Jay street as far as Sands street, and then turned in the direction of the bridge. Another curious feature of the happening was that the runaway was not in any way hurt, and the wagon which he dragged behind him at break-neck speed was not In the slightest degree marred, although It was of a high piano polish. The rig Is the property of A.

J. Nut ting, the clothier, who was held up by bandits in Europe not so very long ago. The horse was standing with his feed bag on his nose and the head-stall off, when something happened to scare him, Jut wh.it this was is not known. It may have been a passing train on the elevated railroad overhead or the chugging of an automobile. As a matter of tact, he started on a run, suddenly and without the slightest warning.

As he ran he slung its feed-bag off and threw his head in the air as if sniffing un usual freedom. In crossing Fulton street he bumped into a passing express wagon and upset the horse, which, freed from the shafts, was found to be badly hurt, The wonderful thing about the initial start was that the runaway did not col llde with passing street cars. The Smith street crossing is busy, but the motor men are careful when they pass there. It chanced, though, that one of the cars was passing at the time and there was narrow shave between the runaway and the conveyance. Everybody at that part of Fulton street took an interest in the runaway, but no one attempted to stop it.

Instead, there were shouts on the part of the observers which only served to stimulate the horse in his efforts to get away from the noise and the frightened animal accelerated his speed as he dragged the wagon over the tracks on Fulton street and down in the direction of Willoughby street, where there were other car tracks to cross. There were narrow escapes from disastrous and serious collision with cars on Mrytle avenue and those on Jay street, the crowded open ones, on their way to and from Coney Island and the Park Circle. The horse did not keep to a straight line, but, after the fashion of other runaways, darted from one side of the street to the other, with the wagon swinging and bobbing behind. The harness held and so, to those on the street and on the sidewalk the runaway seemed menacing and terrible. The people scampered in all directions, and few attempts were made to bring the frightened animal to a standstill.

Policeman Strickland, of the Adams street station, ran after the runaway, caught up with it and tried to catch hold somewhere, but he could not stop it. At Sands and Pearl streets the runaway encountered Richard O'Hare, aged 18 years, of 194 Pearl street. Young O'Hare, who is a plasterer's apprentice, was not thinking of any danger as he crossed the street. He had under his arm two pieces of music which he was carrying to a friend's house, and his mind was occupied on the music more than on anything else. The horse bowled O'Hare over and seemed to step on him.

The lad lay unconscious at the crossing while the horse sped Friends picked up O'Hare, and a call was sent for an ambulance. A surgeon from the Brooklyn Hospital saw that he was badly hurt, and wanted to take him to the hospital, but O'Hare's relatives would not listen to this, so he was carried, unconscious, to his home. It Is feared that his skull is fractured, and besides this serious condition, his scalp was cut and ho sustained internal injuries. At a late hour last night he was in very bad shape. The horse turned at Sands street and ran down in the direction of Pearl, knocking down and injuring two other people in the course of bis frenzied progress.

The other victims escaped with lighter hurts. Frank Stoner, aged 42. years, of 164 Pearl street, had his knees badly cut by being bowled over, and George Sparks, aged 23 years, of 18 Meeker avenue, had his left wrist broken. These men were attended by the ambulance surgeon who was called to aid the injured O'Hare. The horse was finally captured on Sands street, near Pearl, by Patrolman Dooley of the Fulton street station.

By this time the runaway was pretty well winded. NEWSBOYS' GOOD WORK. Those of Gates Avenue and Broadway Raised Substantial Fund for "Whitey's" Parents. Because the newshoys of Gates avenue and Broadway raised a fund to help them, the parents of little "Whltey," who have. a small flat at 402 Evergreen avenue, will not be dispossessed nd will not be compelled to go hungry as a result of an accident which happened to Charles Stoltz, their little eleven-year-old boy.

Charley, nicknamed "Whltey," was run over by a trolley car on Gates avenue, little more than a week ago, and was compelled to go to the Bushwlck Hospital for treat ment. As the little fellow was the only support of his sick father and helpless mother, his confinement left them no one to supply them with money with which to meet their daily needs. "Whltey" sold papers at Broadway and Gates avenue. When it was learned by Frank Knauer, also a newsboy, but somewhat older than "Whltey," that the little fellow's folks would have to go hungry, he started a fund. All of the newsboys "chipped In," and many of the business men of the neighborhood contributed.

The result was that yesterday $45 in cash was turned over to "Whltey" In the Bushwlck Hospital, who declared that as soon as possible he would give it to his father. Some of the contributions came through the mall. One. letter was signed "Grand Avenue," and was addressed to "Frnnk Knaur, care of Cobbler." Another one of the latest arrivals was a letter signed "Sympathizer containing a $5 bill, headed "Washington Avenue." CELEBRATES 90TH BIRTHDAY. Rome, X.

September 12 At his summer homo at Greenway, near this city. Colonel George E. Gray, one of America's greatest living engineers, today celebrated his ninetieth birthday In a quiet way, receiving the congratulations of his relatives and friends. He was the first chief engineer of the New York Central Railroad, having been appointed in 1S53. Twelve years thereafter he went to San Francisco, where he became chief engineer of the Southern Pacific Railroad and devised the famous "loop" In the mountains on that road.

Colonel Gray is hale and hearly and Intends spring to return to San Francisco, which he left at the time of the great, earthquake, when his boms destroyed. A. ricKson and Jensen Mean to Do Away With Use of Coal Broberg's Police Record. James O. Erickson of 76S Park place claims to have invented the biggest and most powerful machine for electricity In tho In company -with Thomas Jensen of the same address, he has is sued a very picturesquely worded prospectus in which he appeals to those who have money to invest In a money-mak ing proposition.

In the course ot the document, which Is typewritten by one who believes with President Roosevelt In spelling reform, Erickson and his partner, Jensen, apologize for thus asking the support of the public. They claim that they have been reduced to this extremity because of the perfidy of an other who had promised to associate himself with them and finance the com pany. That othvr is Charles Broberg. Ac cording to the statement of Erickson, Broberg claimed that he had barrels of money and on Aug. 18, 1908, he, Jensen and the said Broberg, made an agreement.

"We Three Bound Ourselves Swore," 8ays the document, 'Together With Our Three Hands on the Holy Bible That We Should In' No Way Cheat Each Other, But to Be True, Form A Co. etc." This agreement, according to Erickson, can be seen at his office. But, alas! Broberg skipped out. And the prospectus continues: "Now As Said Mr. Broberg Has Disap-pered Gone To Places Unknown.

We Have To Hasten To Get And Protect Ourselves For We Do Fully Believe That Said Mr. Broberg Has No Good In His Mind For Us Whatsover. We Do Think That He Is Trying To Get The Rtghta- way From New York State, We Suppose He Is Trying To Steal Away Our New Idea By Selling The Same to Some Money Man. (If So WePitty Mr. Chas.

Broberg. If We Get Ahold Of. Him, He Will Wish He Never Was Born, Said Mr. Broberg Is a Man 6 ft. 2 in.

Tall, weight about 180 lbs. light complexion, age about 45. few weeks Ago He Lived in 217 State Then He Moved to .636 Sehermerhorn St, Was There Untill Sept. 1st, 1 Oclock P. M.

Then He Was Going to Buffalo New York, But This NO One Needs To Belive He Is Surly In BrooklynYet.) So By The Way Mr. Chas. Broberg Has Treated. Us We Appear To The Public Say, Do We Do Anything Wrong If We Shut The Door For Such A Man. Now As Said Ericson Jensen Have Completed The Model Everything Gone So Far As To The Patent Office Of Mann Co.

New York. Now We Appear Ask Where Are The Lady or Gent Who Will Come Forward With The Money To Give Us A Little Remember What We Need Is Just A Few Thousand For To Get Everything Ready Then We Will Form A Incorporated Co. That Noble Lady or Man Who Will Stand By Us Now Will Never regreat That They Did For We Will Surly See That The First Helper Will More Than 10 Double There Money Within A Few Years. Just Remember That This Co. After They get Started Will Make Not Only Millions But Billions Within A Short While." 4 Erickson is enthusiastic over his in vention.

His idea is to utilize the power of Niagara. Falls without spoiling their looks, "but to put all the water that had belonged to it back to its old course and give the falls the same appearance as It had fifty years ago." 'To-day the water is wasted," he con tinued. "It Is not supplying one-third of the power that our wonderful machine will supply. When completed, It will furnish electricity for the United States and Canada. I have worked on it for four years.

It was a great thinking mat-tor; but at last I discovered a great secret which is worth millions upon millions." But let us return to the prospectus. and its lucid exposition of the wonderful things his machine will do: "Just Figure Up How Many Thousands Of Dollars Is Being Spent By The Biggest Railroad Co. of America For Coal for Locomotives We Can Supply the Electricity For All Such Railroad Cos. Run Trains On Half The Time It Now Takes Wc Can Supply Electricity From The Atlantic To The Pacific, You May Think That We Are Talking Foolish But Erickson Jensen As Partners Are Willing. To Show Any Man Or Lady Who Is Willing To put in a few Hundred Dollars To Aid Us Just To Get This Thing Started.

Ther Is Millions of Dollars in It, Dont You For get it. If you dont Intend to Invest help us Dont Bother About it, There is a Chance for a man With Money, For All Information regarding our Invention you are Welcomed to Call. Patent is applied, for. The Machinery Cannot Be Seen Without Permitt, ft Said Power Will Supply Electricity For The Whole United States Canada From Atlantic to Pacific Ocean, This Ideal Will Do Away With All The Small Electric Station Now In Use It Will Save Millions Of Tons Of Coal Which Is Now Used By All The Locoma-tlves In The Country. So Even Litchfield Conn, Which Seems, So Far Being Forsaken From The Almighty Will Have A Chance To Get Electric Light; Not Only For There New Street 'Bug Light, But Even Sheapaug Valley.

Railroad Will Have Power From Said Power Plant, So Notice the Hundred Mile Distance Between New York Litchfield, Which Now Takes Over 4 Hours Will Travel The Same Distance In Less Than 2 Hours, This Will Be A Company More Powerful Than The Rockerfellers Oil Wells. For They Are Bound To Give Out But The New York, Niagara Canada Power Co. Which It Will Be Called Will Never Give Out As Long As Tho Sun Shines is Able To Melt The Snow Broberg, if indeed he is the same Broberg, figured in the newspapers last winter ar a mining promoter. He was associated with one John Barbrlck and had an office In the Garfield Building. Ho lived on State street, across trom Police Headquarters.

On January 8 the police raided his office and took both him and Barbrlck Into custody upon Information received from the police of Minneapolis. The charge was forgery and swindling, and a detective from the Mill City came here and had them extradited. If the CharleB Broberg mentioned In Erickson's prospectus be the same. It would seem that the Minneapolis authorities failed to substantiate the charges against him, for he -has returned to devise a new method of getting rich quirk, but Erickson's scheme seems not to have appealed to him In spite of the claims made by Its originator that there were billions In It. How to get billions out of it is probably what Broberg tailed to discover.

Zeller Was a Suicide, but Wants Alleged Blackmail Investigated. Coroner Acrltelli, in Manhattan, yesterday released from the House of Detention Albert Zeller and Lena Geiger, husband and sister of Rosa Zeller, who committed suicide by shooting, last Tuesday. They had been held pending an examination into the case because of many alleged suspicious circumstances, but Coroner Acrltelli finally came to the conclusion that the woman had died by her own hand and decided not to hold the pair further. Coroner Acrltelli has, however, sent the papers in the case to the district attorney, on account of charges of attempted blackmail and perjury that have grown out of the case, in the connection of Dr. Jacob Heckman, of 156 East Eightieth street, with the affair, and the coroner will ask.

he says, that the district attorney make a full Investigation.

S. Army Soldier Sent to Sellevue Because of Extreme Religious State of Mind. Suffering from what his sister cays she thinks is religious mania, William P. McGregor, 31 years old. of 312 East One Hundred and Twenty-second street, Manhattan, was -placed in the psychopathic ward of Bcllevue Hospital yesterday, for observation.

Until three years ago he had been In the United States Army, and seemed to be in a perfect state of mind. When he returned home, however, his sister says, he commenced devouring religious literature, and frequently claimed that he was entrusted with a mission of great Importance from the Almighty. Although he has never become violent, hlB sister says, she began to fear that his peculiar condition of mind might assume dangerous proportions and while McGregor was exhorting an Imaginary gathering yesterday to mend their ways and follow th'e straight path, his siBter called in two policemen. At the Harlem Hospital Dr. Mosher told the policeman that McGregor appeared to be In an Insane condition, and sked them to take him to Bellevue Hospital.
