Deputy Commissioner Booraem of the Water Department stated today that Frank Martin, who was arrested about two weeks ago on the Park Slope, for attempting to sell filters which he claimed would remove typhoid germs from the Brooklyn water supply, was convicted yesterday in Special Sessions, of impersonating an officer, and was fined $50, in default of which payment he was sentenced to jail for twenty days. The Deputy Commissioner stated that Martin's offense was a peculiarly contemptible one, in view of the fact that the city's water supply was low, but of excellent quality, as shown by laboratory investigations, and the people of the Park Slope were at the time much agitated, on account of a local outbreak of typhoid fever.

In a letter received at The Eagle Bureau today from Miss Ezilda Perez of Bay Shore, L. about whom there had been some worry on the part of her relatives on Long Island, it is explained that the sailing from Italian ports is dangerous. For this reason Miss Perez is remaining in Milan, where she has been located since the war began, and plans to stay until the situation clears.

She reports that she received the wire from The Eagle inquiring as to her whereabouts. The situation in Paris remains unchanged, residents of the city maintaining the same confidence of ultimate French success that has been in evidence since the Germans began their retreat after marching almost to the walls of the city.

As the result of criticism by some of the jurors of the action of one of their colleagues during the deliberation of the evidence taken in the trial of Policeman James McAuliffe, accused of accepting a bribe, District Attorney Cropsey's office is making an investigation of the jury's deliberations, McAuliffe was tried before Justice Kapper, in the Supreme Court.

September 26-Requests that the for Governor, United States Senator and Congressmen be counted first on primary night were sent to the boards of electhroughout the State today by Mitchell May, Secretary of State.

The requests are made, a statement by Secretary May explains, "fort the purpose of advising the public the earliest possible moment of the candidate selected for the office in which the people are most interested and most nearly concerned." The statement points that at least forty-nine marks will have to be made on the ballot of the Democratic party if the voter desires to vote for all the candidates, and that the primary law is "new and very complicated." Consequently, much time will be consumed in proper compilation and tabulation of tho vote. 178 FRESHMEN AT STEVENS Record-Breaking Class Includes 20 Brooklyn Boys. (Special to The Eagle.) Hoboken, 26 Breaking all records for September. of students in the entering class, the Stevens Institute of was opened here yesterday. freshTechnology, men who enrolled twenty were from Brooklyn.

The entering class represented the phenomenal increase in size of 81 per cent. over that of last year, when 98 started their courses.

Previously an entrance examination had been imperative for all. This fall only about one-third of the class took examinations.

Among the new students is a Chinaman, Yung Han Chen, who mitted on a certificate from the Christian College in Canton, China. Altogether ninety-one preparatory schools in thirteen States are represented in the class. In an a a a address before the entire student body yesterday, Dr. Alexander C.

CALLS HUSBAND A "BRUTE." Court Gives Wife Permission to Withdraw Default and Assert Her Rights.

In a remarkable affidavit submitted to the Supreme Court, Mrs. Emily Witt has informed Justice Crane that she had permitted him to give her husband, Samuel Witt, a divorce decree by not defending the suit, because she saw in that move a way to be rid of her "brute of a husband" and a "short cut to freedom and Mrs. Witt's explanation of why she allowed the suit against her to be won by default is that any sacrifice was worth thought, until shoe she realized that she had wronged not only herself, but the Court and her two little children as well. She has been given permission to open her default and defend husband's suit and has filed a counter- in which she accuses husband of living openly first wife, from whom he was divorced some years ago. Justice Crane today allowed $50 counsel fee to her attorney, Andrew J.

Smith, and in the event that Witt does not bring his suit to trial promptly Mrs. Witt may ask for alimony. "On May 15 with the which is for a says Mrs. Witt summons and complainer in this action, in her affidavit, "and on the same day I had a conversation with Herman L. Roth, one of the attorneys for the plaintiff, concerning the action.

At this time I had been away from my husband more than three years, he having deserted me, after torturing me mentally and bodily for the greater part of our married life. He had refused support for me and the two children; had refused to get a doctor when the baby was near the point of death, and had compelled me to go out to work. At one time when I lost my position I was compelled to put the youngest child in a charitable institution for a short time, and he told me to put the other one there, too. "He had lever, taken me to a place of amusement our entire married life and never bought me a dress, although he made $50 a week and dressed lavishly himself. He stayed out nights and treated me with absolute indifference.

"At the time of my conversation with Mr. Roth there were two things I wanted. First, above all, I wanted my children, whom I have always had and still have. Second, I wanted my freedom. I thought no sacrifice would be too great for these ends.

So when I was given absolute assurance that the children would be allowed to remain with me after any divorce that might be granted, I decided to remain silent, interpose no defense and permit innocent circumstances to go unexplained come perverted, distorted and. converted into incriminating ones, thus becoming a scapegoat for this plaintiff. I was willing to pay the price. My conscience was clear. I was innocent of any of the accusations made by the plaintiff in his complaint and was innocent altogether of any wrongdoing.

I reasoned that friends and ances, would understand; strangers not know. it would be a sort of short cut to freedom and happiness- I to have my children and be rid of a husband ever before me as a clossal brute was a dream that shattered my reason. "I now see that I not only wronged myself, but that I wronged the Court and the very children I love so dearly." In the original divorce trial May Doyle, a maid, testified that Mrs. Witt had been friendly with a Dr. Warner, but Mrs.

Witt and her sister, Cecelia Froosh, both assert that Dr. Warner was Miss Cecelia's "company," and there was nothing wrong in his conduct or the conduct of anyone else in Mrs. Witt's home at any time. Witt lives at 68 Cedar street. BOY KILLED BY LOPER AUTO Port Jefferson Man Is Held on Homicide Charge.

(50c.) Copy of War Manual in paper. (26c.) Name Street City and 200 MEXICANS LEFT DEAD ON THE FIELD After the Battle Between the Forces of Gov. Maytorena and Gen. Hill. CARRANZA SOLDIERS FUGITIVES.

Lieutenant Colonel Gomez's Men Fled When He Was Wounded in the Fight. Naco, Sonora, September 26- Two hundred were left dead on the field between Santa Barbara and Santa Cruz, after the battle between the forces of Governor and General Benjamin Hill yesterday, according to fugitive Carranza soldiers. General Hill 1s here today awaiting orders from Mexico City as to whether he shall make another stand at this point against Maytorena. Meantime, 700 of Hill's men have evacuated Cananea and come here. Seven hundred others were marooned when locomotives pulling their troop trains "died" from lack of coal, about twenty miles east of Santa Cruz.

Two other locomotives were sent from here today to rescue stranded troops. The rout of Hill's troops yesterday is a said to have been primarily due to the wounding of Lieutenant Colonel Gomez, commanding the advance guard. Gomez had Maytorena's Yaquis when he received a bullet. Discovering their commander was wounded Gomez's men fled. Santa Cruz has been cut off from communication since 9 o'clock last night.

General Iturbide, the Carranza commander in Sinaloa, is reported to (be at Guaymas today with several troops on the way to Sonora thousand to check Maytorena. El Paso, September 26-General Francisco Villa, who has announced his hostility to Venuestiano Carranza, received today an appeal from his brothers in arms at Mexico City to lay aside his differences with the "First Chief," and thus prevent another revolution in Mexico. The message was addressed to Rafael E. Mustquiez, Carranza's Consular agent here, who was asked to transmit it to General Villa at Chihuahua. The appeal was signed by Lucio Blanco, Coahuila leader, who was first to thorn Carranza in the antiHuerta revolt; Eduardo Hay, who was one of the first to join Francisco Madero in his revolution against Porfirio Diaz; Raefael Buelna, the "Boy Chief," of the West Coast, who, a youth of less than 21 years, has fought with Caranza and I.

L. Pesqueira, former Governor of Sonora, which state was the first to rebel against the Carranza government. Washington, September 26-Despite the news that forces of Carranza under General Benjamin Hill were routed in an engagement with troops of Governor Maytorena, in connection with the revolution proclaimed by the state of Sonora in defiance of General Carranza, Administration officials here today still were hopeful that the troubles between Carranza and Villa would be settled without serious fighting. Villa is said to have 5,000 men on the way to Sonora, and it is believed that this force will so outnumber the followers of Carranza that the latter will avoid a fight, thus insuring temporary peace at least. The hope of officials today that actual warfare would be averted was further strengthened by the fact that Carranza has said he will not attack Villa.

Meantime, there seems to be little prospect of the American troops being withdrawn from Vera Cruz until the troubles between the two Generals are adjusted. General Funston has been notified that Vera Cruz is not to be evacuated "for at least ten days," until question of the transfer of funds at the customs house there can be settled. It is pointed out that as Villa's principal objection to the government at Mexico City is that Carranza is its executive, some basis for a compromise may be found in the fact that Carranza will retire soon in favor of a Provisional President agreeable to all. As President Wilson is maintaining a position of neutrality as between the two factions, he is endeavoring to press on Consular agents the importance of refraining from involving the United States on the side of either Carranza or Villa. Whatever the consuls do will be in the line of aiding the two chiefs or their representatives to come to some understanding.

Mexico City, September 26-General Venustiano Carranza, the acting head of the Mexican government, in the statement which he gave out last night reviewing the difficulties between himself and General Francisco Villa, states that the situation is grave but that the Constitutionalists are ready for any emergency. General Villa, he declares, demanded impossible changes in the call issued for a conference of Constitutionalist chiefs on October 1. YELL CHECKED THE MOTORIST. Thomas Well, 48 years old, a conductor, of 2067 Pacific street, had the presence of mind to call out to a motorist who knocked him down at Prince street and Ralph avenue, today, inflicting a severe laceration of the scalp and injuries to the left leg. In response to Well's yell to stop, the driver of the automobile slackened his speed.

Well thereby managed to see the number of the machine's license. The police are looking up the driver. Well received attention at the Bushwick Hospital and then went home. GETS TERM IN REFORMATORY. Robert Fink, 19 years old, of 1075 DeKalb avenue, was sentenced to the New York City Reformatory from the Court of Special Seasons today on the complaint of May Fines of 1223 HalHey street.

The girl said that Fink called to sell some goods one day and walked out of her home taking quantity of jewelry with him. BOY HELD FOR ASSAULT.

Among the passengers on the Olympic of the White Star Line which sailed today for Glasgow were Mr. and Mrs. Kermit Rooseevlt, Dr. Richard Derby and wife, who was Miss Ethel Roosevelt, Mr. and Mrs.

John H. Allen and Alexandre De Stalewski, Russian Minister to Mexico, en route to petrograd from Mexico City on a leave of absence. The Olympic's destination is Glasgow instead of Liverpool, owing to the fact that the harbor at Liverpool is congested and the ship's berth at the Mrs. Richard Derby, Former Miss Ethel Roosevelt, Who Salled Today with Husband for Red Cross Work in War Zone. latter port is being used and will be utilized for some time by Canadian troop ships.

The Russian Minister to Mexico spoke freely on conditions in Mexico as he found them. He declared that the country "is without government and practically in a state of anarchy." "It is unsafe for one to travel in the country outside of the suburbs of Mexico City, with the possible exception of the State of Yucatan, where some semblance of order is still maintained," continued the Minister. "The trouble in Mexico is due to the brigand bands that rob, burn and pillage as they please without interference from the national authorities because there is no national government to speak of. "The United States should not withdraw its troops from Vera Cruz. From what I was able to observe, there is no prospect of a stable government being established in Mexico.

Carranza is an able political chief, but he cannot compare with Villa as a leader of men. I am frank to state that conditions in Mexico today are not onehalf as good as they were during Madero's reign." Kermit Roosevelt and John A. Allen said that they were going to Buenos Ayres, Argentina, via England. They are to establish a branch of the National City Bank at Buenos Ayres, as a result of the new currency law. Dr.

HUNT, ARTIST, IS DEAD End Came. Suddenly of Heart Failure Yesterday at Age of Eighty. KNOWN HERE FOR SIXTY YEARS. Work Was Celebrated for Vigor of Style--Many Brooklynites Own His Paintings. Charles D.

Hunt, one of Brooklyn's oldest and best-known artists, died yesterday at his home, 75 St. James place, after a brief illness from heart trouble. services will held at his late Funeral residence tomorrow evening at 7 o'clock, will conducted by the Rev. Carroll Albertson, D.D., of Charles the Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian Church. Mr.

Hunt's association with this church dates from the time of Dr. Theodore Cuyler, who was an intimate friend of the artist. Interment will be at Black Rock, Conn. Mr. Hunt was born in Detroit, eighty years ago, and came to New York to study art when he was 18 years of age.

His father was a frontiersman, and his uncle was the late General Hunt of Washington, D. who served through the Civil War. Mr. Hunt was one of the very last of the old American school of art. He was a friend and pupil of Wyant and Kensett and an associate of all the well-known landscape artists of that era.

He served on the jury of the Adelphi College Art Department many times and was a close friend of Professor J. B. Whittaker, head of the Adelphi College art department. His pictures are owned by the Montauk and other clubs in Brooklyn, and Dr. G.

H. Pierce of Washington avenue has a room devoted exclusively to Mr. Hunt's work. His paintings have been exhibited with the Brooklyn Art Club, of which he was a member, when its exhibitions were held in the Art Association Building on Montague street. He also had a number of his landscapes hung in Manhattan exhibits, notably those of the New York Academy of Design, and frequently held exhibitions of his own at his studio on St.

James place. He painted both in oil and water colors, and was modern in his methods despite his advanced years. Of late he had specialized in water color work, and he had also shown skill in the French impressionist style. His last picture, a road scene with distant hills and woodland surroundings, is executed in the vigorous style that characterized all his work. This was painted for his wife, who had admired the first draft of the scene, which had been painted on an order from a local art patron.

Mr. Hunt was married twice, and his widow, Elsie Hunt, is his only surviving relative. She is many years younger than her late husband and is a linist of some note. HOT AFTER PRIMARY FRAUDS. Gustavus A.
