Post i Toasties Heavy Sea Off Sandy Hook Keeps Wreckers Away From Sunken Vessel. FOUR PERSONS STILL MISSING I 800 Bags of Mail Will Be Mostly Loss Brooklyn Man Saved, but Has Disappeared. Wreckers went out this morning to (he steamship Finance of the Panama Railroad line, which was sunk yesterday in a fog in a collision with the White Star line steamship Georgic. causing the loss of four lives. A stiff breeze which piled up the waves, sending them over the sunken steamer, made It Impossible for the divers and others to work, and the wrecking tug I.

J. Merrltt had to leave the Finance and anchor in the lower bay. Work will suspended until the sea subsides somewhat. Postoffice Inspectors went with the wreckers to see what could be saved of the mall matter that went down with the Finance. There were eight hundred bags aboard and much of this contained valuable government papers besides, it was stated to-day, much money.

The money orders that were seat by the Finance will not be lost, as they can be repaid to tho senders upon the production of their receipt slips. When the bags are recovered from the wreck the paper, money and currency will also be saved without any loss. But the papers will, undoubtedly, be ruined by the action of the salt water, and the government Is at a Berlous loss through the spoiling of these papers. Letters will also prove a total loss. Before 1 P.M.

to-day a few score relatives and friends of the passengers who had been on the Finance and are now on the Allianca, which is anchored In the middle of the Hudson River off the foot of Thirty-sixth street, Manhattan, visited the Panama Railroad and Steamship Company's pier at the foot of West Twenty-seventh street. Superintendent Borden, in charge at the pier, had a New York Central barge come alongside, and on this the relatives and friends were taken out to the anchored vessel. They took out with them, most of them, clothing and dainties for the survivors. On the same barge the line sent out a largo extra consignment of provisions and clothing. Borden and other employes of the lino had given money out of their own pockets to some of the more forlorn of tho survivors who landed lust night, rather than keep the people waiting for the arrival of funds from the company.

The company has already expended several thousand dollars in providing for the comfort of the shipwrecked ones. Superintendent Borden said this afternoon that the four persons reported missing from the Finance are still missing. The after cabin of the Finance has been loosened by the sea and was washing about to-day, while cabin furniture and fittings drirttd near the sceno of the wreck. The hull of the steamer was completely submerged. A moderate westerly sea was running.

Tho question as to whether Captain Clarke of the Georgic or Captain -Mowbray of the Finance was to blame for the disaster that cost four lives, win come within a day or two before tho steamboat inspectors and harboi- supervisors in Manhattan. The Panama Line oflielaU place tho blame on the Whlto Slar captain, but the latter claims that he can prove that his vessel was motionless when he crash came, and I hat the Finance worked out her own doom. Among the passengers picked up from the wrecked Finance vestal day was Herman O. Jacked of 23(1 Fifty-sixth street, Brooklyn. Jackel was in hod when Die Georgic struck the Finan snd he made his escape from tho vessel by cllmhing through a port hole He was later tram-ferfed to the Georgic by some men who had thrown him a line from a raft.

Jackel is a shipbuilder and wits on bis way Panama, where he was to work al. his ttade for the United States government. At his hnrnt! this morning il was learned that nothing had bean heard from him tli. rectly since the accident, and his friends hero fear that he Is more seriously hurt ihan at first reported and that ho may be in some hospital.

VAN VLECK IS VERY HOPEFUL. jHe Concedes That "Ho" Has Some Advantages, but Thinks the "Sooneis" Are Unwise. Esperanto, the new "world language," which was to bring out complete understanding among all tho nations of the earth, and so unite them that they would feel their common brotherhood and abolish war, is now itself In the thooes of Internal dissensions, and Ksperantists are rapidly splitting up into factions and calling each othor names In Esperanto and in other less polite languages. The officers of the New York Esperanto Society have broken away from their recent love, tho languago which they had adopted, as It were, and they are now joining In the movement to produce another universal language of which they will he the mothers and fathers, so to speak, and which they hope will be the mother tongue of all races In succeeding ages. The members of the New York Esperanto Society, which has dwindled in numbers frem several hundred to about fifteen, at their last meeting voted to dis card the study of Esperanto and take up with the study of "Ho" (pronounced which they say Is much more logical than the other tongue.

"Ilo" Is the product of the Marquis L. de Beau-front, who brought it to the attention of the Committee of the International Language Delegation in Paris In October, 1907. However Manhattanltes may act, Brooklyn still remains loyal to Esperanto, as may bo seen from the following statements of Durbln Van Vleck, president of the Brooklyn society. Mr. Van Vleck says that the reason the Manhattan society has fallen off In Its membership is because of the.

agitation raised by tho converts to the new language who have driven the serious devotees of Esperanto out of the meetings by their continual criticisms of Esperanto. "Why. as they call It, 1b merely a form of Esperanto," said Mr. Van Vleck, to-day. "It Is based on Esperanto and in some respects Is an Improvement on it.

But that Is no reason wny tne followers of do Beaufront should start in to condemn Esperanto so severely. The proper wny for these critics or certain forms In tho language to proceed is through the regular channels providod In the presont Esperanto organization. There is a committee of International reputation in charge of just such matters, nnd tho proper thing to do Is for the reformers to present their changes to this committee for action and await their roport at the next international conference, which Is to be held In Bar celona. There is no doubt that they would receive the attention they deserve nt the hands of this committee, as that Is what the committee is for. These people aro and they arc doing much harm by their precipitate action.

Tho very word that they use to distinguish their new study Is taken from Esperanto, as are most of their forms. 'Ilo' means a tool, and Is a suffix attached to certain to show their use as tools. "There is only one man that I know of at present In Brooklyn who is a follower of the new cult, for all the rest of us take the sensible view of it. That Is, if there aro any changes to be made in the language it is better tn have thorn made by the regular Esperantlst organization than to start out all over again and try to begin a new world crusade. This would load to a waste of effort and to confusion, worse confounded." "We are having grout success In Brooklyn," continued Mr.

Van Vleck, "and aro gp.inlnf now students every day. A new rlnoa in now helnir formed end any who arn Interested are Invited to Join right away, so that, all the members of the class can start on the same looting. Mrs. H. H.

The two were drinking in the saloon at Wythe avenue and North Seventh street, when they decided as a Joke lo threaten to forcibly shave Richard Karolieh of 107 Wythe avenuo, who was also In the saloon.

The joke worked all right. Karolieh made a dash from the saloon followed by Schonkoda and Coda. A tussle followed. Karolieh claims a slash was made at Ills throat, but that lie saved himself by throwing up his hand, ills wrisi was gashed and an artery severed. Dr.

Albany, November 27 State Commissioner of Excise element reports that the total number of liquor lax certificates Issued during the month of October was 28.121, and the gross receipts' for Ihe same period were I i Be Begun. TESTS OF SUSPENDERS MADE.

The Samples Stood 287,000 Pound3 Strain, and on Bridge 50,000 Will Be the Maximum. The most gratifying reports on the progress of the work on the Manhattan Bridge are being received each week by Bridge Commissioner Stevenson. From the present Indications It will not be surprising If the big structure is turned over to the city before the contract time. Every bit of the work on the structure Is ahead of the stipulated time and early in February, according to the present schedule, the actual work of building the steel superstructure will begin. Bridge Commissioner Stevenson was informed to-day that the stringency of the wires which are to form the massive cables will be finished early next week.

Then the bounding of the cables will be undertaken. The contractor for this work must also hang the steel suspenders from the cables. All this the engineers of the Bridge Department figure will be finished by February. With the hanging of the steel suspenders, the "heavy work," as the engineers term it, will begin. In fact, it will be actually undertaken before February.

The work of hanging the suspenders will start from each tower toward the center of the span. As fast as these suspenders are hung the iron work of the superstructure will be put in place. Over BOO of the 2.500 suspenders required have already been delivered at the bridge. The remainder will arrive before the end of next month. The Phenix-ville Steel Company which is manufacturing the parts for the superstructure is away ahead on Its contract and hundreds of different parts have already been shipped to New York.

Wednesday afternoon last, the Mayor, Secretary William A. Willis, Bridge Commissioner Stevenson, Chief Engineer In-gersoll, and Frank B. RoibinBon, president of the Carbon Steel Company, witnessed full size tests of the suspenders and sockets which are to be used in the Manhattan Bridge. The tests were made under the direction of Consulting Engineer Alexander Johnson at the Trenton plant of the John A. Rocbllng's SonB Company.

The suspenders of the bridge will consist of 1 inches galvanized rope. The weight of the bridge structure and moving load is transferred through these suspenders to the main cables. There will be four suspenders at each panel point of each cable. Where the bridge structure is bung on the suspenders their ends are socketed into a steel casting which is threaded on the outside for a 5V4 inches nut. Three pieces of the 1 Inches socketed suspender rope were tested to destruction.

In each Instance the socket developed greater strength than the suspender rope, which broke at 287,000 pounds, 288,600 pounds and 290,000 pounds, respectively. The greatest load which can occur on "one of these suspender ropes under the worst condition of loading on the bridge is 50,000 pounds, so that there Is a factor of safety of over five times in the suspenders and sockets.

Although It happened a month ago, the police of the Atlantic avenue station have not yet solved the mystery surrounding the disappearance of eighty-five lengths four-Inch iron pipe, weighing more than two tons, which were taken in a big truck by four men, from the lot at Eastern Parkway and Utica avenue. According to the story told to the police by Abraham Gelflend himself, he was locked In the tool bouse by one of the men while three or four others, who were with him in the wagon, backed the horses up to the pile of pipe and removed the whole lot In the wagon. Gelflend Is, or rather was, the watchman on duty on the night when the pipes were taken away. His services have been dispensed with by David Toback, the builder, who Is constructing the row of semi-detached two-family houses. Gelflend lives with his wife and babies at 640 Rockaway avenue.

On Thursday night, October 29, a big truck drove into the lot adjoining the last of the row of houses. Right beside the tool and store house lay the lengths of pipe, ail neatly piled up so that they might quickly be dispatched into the various parts of the building, one by one. Gelflend was In the tool house When he heard the crunch of wheels and the tramp of horses' hoofs on the ground he came outside. According the story he told to the police, he was grabbed by one of the men, beaten on the head with a cement bag, and shoved Into the tool-house. His assailant stood guard over him, while the other two, or maybe there were three others, quickly loaded the pipe Into the truck.

When the job had been done, one of the truckmen called to the man who was keeping Gelflend a prisoner, and the watchman was suddenly released. The stranger sprang aboard the truck and it drove away in the darkness, with several hundred dollars worth of iron pipe abroad, and the men waving the watchman an adieu. The humble watchman, not being possessed of any considerable detective ability, instead of trailing the truck with Its burden, ran as fast as his legs could carry him to the homo of David Toback, the builder at 1573 Eastern Parkway, more than a mile away, to break the news. In his excitement Mr. Goldflend perhaps didn't give thought to the fact that he had left the buildings unwatched and the whole row cellar, roof and walls might have been carted off In his absence.

That was probably one of the reasons hio services were subsequently dispensed with by Mr. Toback; but not all the residents of Brownsville are born detectives. Bright and early tn the morning following the larceny of the pipes Ooldflend, following instructions, went to the Atlan tic avenue station. Harry Richmond of uiii Hopklnson avenue, the plumbing con tractor ou the Toback job, went along with him. and one or two of the other bosses also went to the police station.

The lieutenant and Mr. Richmond questioned the watchman closely and got some additional details, to wit, that he had made an awful racket, screaming for heln and assistance, and that the only memento of the cement-bagging was a small scratch over one of his eyes. in the course of the investigation it was learned that a gang of B. R. T.

construction men were repairing the trnck4 at Eastern Parkway and Utica avenue at the time the robbery was said to have occurred. The man in charge of that gnng. according to Mr. Richmond, was questioned, and he was very positive that he didn't hear anybody scream for help, or he certainly woul.l have come to the rescue with some of his men. And just over the wa2, at the corner of Utica avenue and the Parkway, another row of houses is being constructed by somebody else, and the night watchman of that outfit declared nlso, with great positive-ness, that he didn't hear any cries on the night in question, nor any other night, or he, too.

would have been on the run, pistol in hand, to see what It was all about. The pipes had been received by Toback five days before they were stolen. Gelflend did not know whether there was a name or number on the truck. But then he was locked in the tool houBe, where he could not see anything hut sure death, if he did not behave himself, according to thief etiouette. But the were stolen.

That fact alone stands out with great certainty, and the deep and impenetrable mystery may never be riddled with the light of day, and it Is doubtful if the thieves or the pipes will ever be apprehended.

Bennett, an old whaleman, who vovaged out of this port many years ago, died at his farm on the Noyac road, near this village, on Wednesday. Mr. Bennett, made his first whaling voyage In the Parana, a famous craft, which had been salvaged by Sag Harbor mariners and brought home from the South American coast. In hen he twice sailed around the globe. The Parana was later rebuilt and under charter, successfully ran the blockaded Southern ports under the name of Ihe Highland Mary, during the Civil War.

Again fitted for whaling, the old bark left her bones on the South American coast where she Intt'l I aiiucii i.tw ij 'Mr. Bennett was born In 135 nnd was a son oprarker itenneu, a tanner, ire in survived by three sons and a daughler. James Bennett and Martha Bennett, who resided with their father; Augustus Bennett, who lives at Newark, N. and prisoner, so he would get the benefit of the allowance, for good behavior. He said he hoped to be paroled after his first two years.

Attorney Wordon announced to-day that ho would make a motion Monday before Judge Richter for another trial. If the motion be denied, Mr. Worden says he will appeal the case. The transcript of the case for appeal would cost over $500. As Lamphere's family has no means and as his friends by subscription have provided his defense, the general opinion is that the appeal will never be made.

If the appeal be made and the case reversed, the chances are that the state would try Lamphere on the Helgeleiu murder charge. BEOOKLYNITES IN PARIS. Eagle Bureau, 53 Rue Carabon. Paris, November 27 The following have registered at the Eagle Bureau: Mr. and Mrs.
