This 13 secured, according to the officers ol the Trust Company, and the claim does not figure in the settlement. The Arm of John Kissel Son has a.

plant at 169 Harrison avenue, which runs through to Walton and Wallabout streets. Mr. Kissel became connected with the business in 1891. and the business was organized as A stock company in 1900. The capital stock was $20,000, of which Senator Kissel said today that he holds a controlling majority.

Prior to 1894 the firm brewed beer, but since then has confined itself to the bettling business. Mr. Kissel is a member of the Republican State Committee from the Fourth Senatorial District, and was a member of the State Senate a few years ago. Recently he issued a hot attack on the Republican leaders of this county, Congressman Calder and Naval Officer Kracke. in which he ridiculed their methods of making up "Fusion" tickets.

25 CENT COST IS EXCESSIVE U. S. Express Co. Forbidden to Charge for Carrying Trunk Checks. The charge of 25 cents which the United States Express Company has been in the habit of exacting for carrying a brass trunk or baggage check from various points in the city to the railroad ter.

minal where the baggage is then redeemed and transported at regular rates, has been pronounced excessive by the Public Service Commission, which today issued an order prohibiting the company from continuing this practice between any two points within the jurisdiction of the commission for the First District. The order was issued upon an opinion rendered by Commissioner John E. Eustis, before whom hearings were held on the complaint of William B. Rafferty, principal of Public School No. 30, New Brighton, Staten Island.

The company the jurisdiction of the commission, on ground that the traffic complaintd of was carried on the municipal ferryboats between Manhattan and Staten Island, and that such boats during a part of the trip necessarily used water's of the bay belonging to the State of New Jersey, thus making the ferry line an interstate line and the traffic carried interstate traffic. Mr. Rafferty's complaint was based uDon a charge made by the express company of 25 cents for transporting a trunk check from Staten Island to the Grand Central Station. Mr. Rafferty's wife alrived in the city over the New York Central Railroad and her trunk came the same day to the Grand Central Station.

She went to her home at New Brighton, and after her arrival there Mr. Rafferty gave the check to the agent of the United States Express Company at St. George, who demanded 25 cents charges for carrying the check from St. George to the Grand Central Station. Mr.

Rafferty paid the 25 cents under protest and in due time received the trunk, for the transportation of which the express company charged an additional 75 cents. Mr. Raf-. ferty then made complaint to the Commission. FIGHT EQUALIZATION.

The Rev. Mr. Eastman Declares No Law Was Violated by the Prisoner. Lawyer Ralph K. Jacobs, who is repre-1 senting Bouck White, Socialist writer and social service worker, announced today that he had a rod in pickle for Patrolman Wil lam G.

Fegar of the Atlantic avenue station, who arrested White terday. Lawyer Jacobs will demand that Fegar, in turn, be arrested on a charge of oppression made by White, the attorney says, and the application will De made at the Gates avenue court when White is brought there for a hearing tomorrow. Both White and his lawyer believe that the arrest of the social service er was without warrant. Lawyer Jacobs said that he had plenty of evidence show that Pegar had sided with the ployer and against the striking garment makers. "Yes, you can say very emphatically," said Jacobs today, "that Mr.

White in tends to press a charge of oppression against the policeman who arrested him. There is a code provision and a wellknown case that applies to this one." The Rev. Mr. Eastman Defends White's Course. The Rev.

E. Fred Eastman, secretary of the Matinecock Neighborhood Assosiation of Locust Valley, L. has sent a statement to The Eagle regarding the arrest of Bouck White, head of Trinity House, Brooklyn. Mr. Eastman's letter is dated yesterday, and reads as follows; wag with Mr.

White at the time of the arrest. about 8 o'clock this morning. While calling upon him yesterday he invited me to accompany him this morning to one of the white goods factories where a strike was in progress. Mr. White Laid that he wished to be on band to protect the pickets from the brutal methods of the police, and if necessary to act as a picket himself.

(A picket's duty, I understand, is to walk along beside the strike-breaker who is about to enter the factory and to plea i with her to stand by the strikers in their fight). 1 accepted his invitation. "Accordingly, ten minutes before eight found us alighting from the "L' at avenue. don't know the name of the street on which was located the factory we were going to, but it was; about five minutes walk from elevated station. When we were within a block of the factory Mr.

White called my attention to a group of three or four strike-breaking girls a few feet ahead of us. 'Their employer met them and led them down the street toward the factory. A policeman brought up the rear. We hurried forward until we were beside the giris. Mr.

White began to talk with them, asking them if they knew there was a strike on hand. He did not try to stop them, but walked along at their side. His language and his attitude were most courteous. But he had not uttered a full sentence before the officer commanded him to 'Get out of here." Mr. White tried to begin another sentence, but the officer and employer joined in a chorus of gruff protest.

The offeer was crowding him toward the curb. Mr. White asked the officer to let bim alone, as he was doing nothing illegal. But the officer crowded him further toward the curb and ordered him to go away. Whereupon Mr.

White, angry, deplared that he would not go away, that he was dolng a citizen's business and that the officer himself was acting the At this the officer, with the ald of another officer, arrested him and held him for the patrol wagon. I told the officers that they might take me. too, as a friend of Mr. White, and hold me 011 the same charge. But they seemed not to care for me.

"Mr. White refused bail, saying that it seemed a plain case of police favoritism and he would like to go through the mill and make a test case of it. "This is a bare statement of the facta uncolored. I think. by prejudice.

Mr. White is now in jail awaiting his trial Saturday WOULD H. Resolution Urging Government Ownership of Railroad. Hartford, February 7--Government ownership and operation of the New York. New Haven and Hartford Railroad is advocated in resolution introduced in the General Assembly today.

The resolution recites that the railroad is the principal means of travel, munication and transportation in the several New England States, that the health, comfort, happiness and "even the very existence of millions of people" is dependent upon its proper management and control, and urged that steps be taken immediately "to acquire the New York, New Haven and Hartford road and operate and manage the same and serve the American people and do the same at cost price." The resolution favoring government ownership and operation of the coal fields was also put in. Both resolutions provide for memoralizing Congress. AVERY PLANT BURNED. Fire Does $225,000 Damage in Peoria, Ill. Peoria, February 7-Damage estimated at $225,000 was done today when fire destroyed the wheelhouse, grindinghouse, steel room and blacksmith shop of the Avery Manufacturing Company.

Marble, who is in business at 17 Battery place, Manhattan, was called for trial today before Justice Garretson, the fair plaintiff did not appear in court, and then her band's counter-claim against her for an absolute divorce was heard.

CITY TO FIND OUT HOW MUCH IT OWNS Father Knickerbocker's "Per-, sonal Property" Is to Be Inventoried.

TOTAL MAY BE $100,000,000. Tools, Furniture, Paintings, Live Stock, Ferryboats, Will Be Scheduled and Appraised. A complete inventory of all personal property belonging to the eity has been ordered by Controller Prendergast, acting in co-operation with Mayor Gaynor, and all heads of departments, sions, boards, bureaus, under the elty government have received instruetions to furnish the Controller with a complete list of their equipment, including live stock. The purpose of the inventory is twofold, according to the Controller. First, to prevent the mysterious disappearance of city property which has happened from time to time in the past.

Second, to carry the net total as an asset on the right side of the eity ledger and to show to a greater degree where some of large expenditures authorized in the past have gone. Everything from a small tool in a repair shop to a ferryboat on the river is to be included in the inventory, with all necessary particulers as to date and cost of acquisition and present value, which, in the aggregate, may reach 000,000. Among the miscellaneous and heterogeneous classes of property owned by the city, is a valuable art collection which includes many famous portraits of former Presidents. Governors, Mayors and other celebrated State and civic notables. The original cost of these paintings is stated at about $200,000, but their present value is known to far exceed that amount.

Some of the canvases have even had the distinction of being specially tabbed by the Sheriff, pending settlement of a judgment against Father Knickerbocker, but it is gratifying to report that the collection is still intact in the care and safe custody of the Municipal Art Comm' g- sion. The inventory is further augmented by various classes of antique furniture from the time of George Washington. These, for sentimental and other reasons, it will be difficult to accurately appraise. There also furniture which is equally hard to value, because of its dilapidated condition, due to many years of constant use. LOAN SHARKS SEEK RELIEF.

Are Endeavoring to Get a Law to Aid Their Business. Following the recent decision of the Court of Appeals the long-fought case conducted by Legal Aid Society then against the London Realty Company of 1265 Broadway, Manhattan, to establish a precedent for the benefit of poor people charged usury for loans, the Legal Aid Society asserts that money lenders of this class are uniting to pass a bill through the Legislature which will take the sting out of the Court of Appeals decision, and which will modify the "loan shark' case won Gimbel Bros. on behalf of their employes. The case against the London Realty Company was begun in 1910, when Mrs. Elizabeth Riordan of 379 East 163d street, Manhattan, asked the help of the Legal Aid Society to prevent the seizing of her furniture on a chattel mortgage.

She had borrowed $65 from the company and had paid $10 as attorney's fees in securing the loan. The Legal Aid Society asserted this charge was a pretext for usury. and said it rendered the mortgage null. The case was fought through the Municipal Court, the Appellate Term of the Supreme Court, the Appellate Division and the Court of Appeals. To offset the decision, however, the usurious money -lenders have prepared a bill which will permit a charge for lawyer's fees when a loan is made.

This bill, also, it is said, will remove the obligatory, notice of three Gays to the ployer in the case of a loan made on salary and will continue the objectionable secrecy feature. CHURCH ORGAN RECITAL. Edward K. Macrum, organist at the Tompkins Avenue Congregational Church, on Saturday afternoon, February 8, at 4:30 o'clock, is to give the following programme.

Druggist Emil J. Huels Is Their Latest Victim, Amateur crooks are at wrok in Flatbush. They are beginners, for they do lots of damage and carry away little valuable loot. But they have the police worried, and to such an extent that those in the Snyder avenue station who about their presence Wednesday night, but a block away from the stationhouse, tried hard to keep the facts covered up.

A plan of settlement on the deferred payment basis accepted by practically all the creditors, according to Mr. Kissel, and with a little time the present situation will be relieved. "A meeting of the creditors of the firm was held January 27.

at Wright's Long Island Business College 143 South Eighth street," said ex-Serator Kissel today, "and at that time 95.3 per cent. of the creditors accepted the offer of notes payable in quarterly installments six months apart. These notes will be good for 100 cents 011 the dollar as fast as they fall due, Since the meeting consents to this offer have been secured from an additional per so that there is less than 1 per cent. of the claims that have not been disposed of that way."

"You mean you have bad 10 install additional machinery to comply with the Pure Food "That is exactly it.

This situation has been growing for some time, but now I have high hopes that if the plan I have offered is accepted by every one of the creditors. everything will clear itself. The principal claims against the company are those of Mrs. Emma M. Kissel.
