City Magistrate Tlghe having thrown out of court, yesterday, the four test eases prepared by the police to discover If the so-called common shows at the island violated the Sunday laws, there was no apparent disposition on the part of the administration to-day to order further arrests on that line. Assistant Corporation Counsel Hahlo, who represented the police when the test cases were before Magistrate Tlghe In the Coney Island Police Court yesterday, announced this morning that, so far as he knew, the officials would not attempt any new line of action at the Island to-morrow.

He Intimated that, in view of tho Tlghe decision, It would be useless to make further arrests under the sections of the Penal Cods prohibiting "labor" and "public sports" on Sunday and said that be had received no Instructions to Institute test cases under other possible statutes.

til midnight to-morrow night, but to avoid the necessity of working on Sunday A telephone message was received last night at 10:30 o'clock at local Police Headquarters from the residence of D. F. Peters at 871 St. Mark's avenue, asking for assistance. There were burglars in the house, said the tremulous voice of a woman, apperently a very young woman at that, the operator thought, and the demand was for help as quickly as possible.

The One Hundred and precinct got an echo of the message and Detective Wardell and two policemen in plain clothes were sent from the police station at the corner of Schenectady and Atlantic avenues hotfoot for Mr. Peter's house. The three of them went in at the front door of what is really a very pretentious town abode without ringing and with very little ceremony. The sender of tho message, a servant who was in sole charge, had been waiting for them. Quickly she told them her story.

The mortgages all cover parcels of real estate in the neighborhood of Slo-gel, Moore and White streets and Graham? avenue, the scene of Portruch's early operations. They are held by various people, the largest creditors In that clasi being Jacob and Mary Hechnitz, who hold two mortgages on two pieces of property for $131,000. These particular parcels are located, respectively, at the southeast and, southwest corners of Siegcl and White streets.

To him will fall the seemingly difficult task of finding something for the creditors, who hava no security for their claims beyond receipts for their material and services signed by Potruch or his agents. The failure of Potruch came as a genuine surprise. It was believed by his friends and business associates that his real estate operations had by this tlmo landed him in the millionaire class, which includes more of the Williamsburg and Brownsville speculators than most people Imagine. That Potruch's immense wealth was all on paper, covering the more substantial variety of wealth to almost tha limit, was hardly believed by even tha most reckless speculators of the borough. It wa3 also supposed that Potruch's recent operations in Brownsville and East New York had caused hlra to be possessed of considerable property up In tha Twenty-sixth Ward, but the schedules In the bankrupt petition do not show that he holds as much as a single corner lot.

The Sloanes were married on Septem ber 10, 1899, at White Plains, N.

On the findings of the case Abraham Kesselman of 215 Montague street, attorney for Mrs. Sloane, moved that an Interlocutory decree be granted, to become an absolute decree of divorce in three months, and that Mrs. Sloane be awarded the custody of Kenenth Sloane, her 4-year-old son.

All went wall till the children came out of the house at 690 Myrtle avenue with tho money. Edward had no pocket vacant, or safe enough, to hold all that money, so the girl tied It In her handkerchief.

Just then a big burly boy came swooping down upon the little tots and grabbed the handkerchief with tho money. He ran and the children pursued him, crying in distress. He escaped, thinking he was safe, but Edward knew the big boy from previous escapades as one of the terrors of all little boys In the neighborhood, and when Mamma Conselyea saw herself cheated out of the wash money she complained to the police. Detectives Thornton and Ryan of the local headquarters went to the home of the alleged highway robber, accompanied by Edward and his little protege. There the children pointed out Frank Connors, who will be sixteen next month, as the one who took the money.
