Afterward Mr. McAneny said: "The Manhattan company has claimed that certain tt its property rights arc Infringed upon by the cirtitlcate.

It thus becomes absolutely germane for the city to find out Just what the rlghu of the company are. This is the first step and tne logical one.

He thcu continues: "iWlh this indication as to what, maybe expected to be the decision of the higher couurt when the question may come before it It seems that an injunction of the sort now asked for which Is not of right but rests in the discretion of the court which is asked to issue it, should not be grauted. The motion is denied." The directors of the Manhattan Railways Company met at 3 o'clock this to go into the elevated certificates situation. The meeting was held at 163 Broadway.

In advance of the meeting it was rumored that the directors might find a way out of their dilemma and agree with the city after all. FRIENDS BELIEVE IN Z1H1MEB Neighbors Refuse to CreditStory of Alleged Theft. Bespite the admissions of guilt detectives said Frederick T. Zi miner of 54 Nichols avenue. Cypress Hills, had made to them yesterday, when arrcsteed on a charge of grand larceny, Zimmer's neighbors and his family refused today to credit his alleged confession that he had robbed his employer, William Reiman, a Jeweler at 328 Fifth avenue, Manhattan.

They asserted their belief that some iistake had been made. Zimmer, who is 52 years old and Vas four children, was taken yesterday Vy detectives with, it Is alleged, $266.73 worth of jewelry belonging to Reiman in his pockets. They had set a trap after Ileiman had complained that he had recently been robbed in a series of theft3 of jewelry valued at more than The detectives asserted that Zimmer offered to pay back twice the amount of the jeweler's losses if let go. Reiman, however, pressed the complaint and Magistrate Krotel, in the Jef-terson Market police court, held Zimmer under bail for examination tomorrow on the change of grand larceny. Zim-mer's wife went to Manhattan today to iissure her hujrard her belief in his innocence, and his four children wore placed In the care of a sister, Mrs.

J. Kreuter, at 40 Nichols avenue. Mrs. Kreuter explained that there was no reason for Zimmer to Bteal. Ho had been married twenty-three years, she said, and had saved considerable in that time, besides Inheriting $2,000 from his mother a few years ago.

This was put by Zimmer in his home, and Mrs. Kreuter said he had an equity of more than S4.000 in the place. As a watch repairer In the jewelry shop he earned only $15 a week, but Mrs. Kreuter said he had formerly earned a good salary. He had been employed at Reiman's only since Christmas, THREW PAPERS IN THE STREET Nesro Elevated.

The com' plalnant was Sergeant Henry Hatten of tbe Adams street police station. "You honor," said Hatten, "our honor able Mayor has been complaining of the condition of Myrtle avenue, cluttered as It Is every morning, with newspapers and rubbish. I have been observing this man Kweeping down dirty water from the platform of the elevated station on the heads of pedestrians and 1 have also seen him throwing papers from the platform into the street.

I warned him about six weeks ago, but I got nothing but impertinence from him. So this morning I watched him and saw him throw a lot of papers into the street." "The passengers threw the papers into the street," said Heath. "I don't think you are a man who has any regard for law. It ia lucky that you are not here to face a complaint rfom pedestrians if you sweep dirty water on them, as the policeman says you do," declared the magistrate. "1 find you guilty und fine you $0, with the alternative of going five days to jail if you don't pay." Heath produced a roll of bills and paid his line.

TO EDUCATION BOARD Mayor Names South Brooklyn Clergyman to Succeed Mr. Metz. NOTIFICATION NOT RECEIVED. Pastor of First Heformed Church Can't Say Whether He Will Accept Until He Receives Mayor's Letter. Mayor Caynor today appointed the Rer.

Dr. James M. Farrar, pastor ot the First Reformed Church, a member of the Board of Education, to succeed former Controller Metz. who resigned. In his letter to Dr.

Farrar the Mayor wrote: "I hereby appoint you a member of the Board of Kducation to succeed tbe Hon. Herman A. Met. Now do not say no. We want you very much, and I am sure you will be a most valuable acquisition to the Board." To Mr.

MeU he wrote: "Your resignation from the Board of Education, for the reason that you have io take your seat as a member of the House of Representatives at Washington on March 4, is at hand. I regret exceedingly to have to accept your resignation. You have been one of the most valuable members of the Board. Indeed, I looked forward to seeing you president of the Board at some time. But, of course, you cannot hold both offices at the same time, and therefore have to leave us." At 2 o'clock today Dr.

Farrar had not received the Mayor's letter. He said The Kev. James M. Farrar, D.D., Appointed Member of tho Hoard of Kducation. that until he received it be could not say whether ho would accept the position or not.

It would not bo the prospect ot hard work that would prevent him from accepting the office, but ho wpuld have to consider whether ho could be of service to tho board and to tho schools of the city. "No one has consulted me as to the office," said he, and this is the first 1 have heard ot the appointment. 1 am not In tho habit ot accepting anything until It is offered to mo not, at least, since 1 became a man. I may have something to' say after I have received the letter and given the subject serious consideration." If Dr. Farrar accepts he will be the first clergyman to serve on the present Board of Education.

dtions at the City Hall today, with former Chief of Police John McCuilagh on stand. Mr. McCuilagh saTT! that he was connected with the Police Department twen-ly-eight years, retiring on May 21, 1898. He was Chief of Police of the Greater CUy at the time of retirement. The witness said he believed that the Commissioner should be appointed by the Mayor for a term corresponding with the Mayor's, and removable by the Mayor on canrges, the charges to be heard in public.

Mr. McCuilagh then gave a brief history of tho depahtment 60 far as it concerned the office of the chief of police. He said tliat while he was made chief of police at his urgent demand, ho was, in reality only an acting chief. "There was a bi-partisan board composed of Barney York, Johnnie Sexton, a man named Abel in tile board, and Jake Hess was made Commissioner just to get rid of me. And the new Commissioner had not been at Headquarters five minutes before I was removed as chief Devery succeeded him.

"The force, when it was turned over to the present administration," said Mr. McCuilagh, "was a demoralized mob of country constables with power. It had gone down from commissioner to commissioner until all it needed was to put Mrs. Goodwin, the woman detective, at the head of it to disrupt it entirely. Why, it has come to the point where a policeman doeBH't know his rommnndln? offlcer.

Ask him who his commanding officer is. and he will smile and walk away." "You don't mean, that he would not know who his captain is?" asked one of the Aldermen. "I mean he docs not know who his orders from or where they come from," replied Mr. McCuilagh. The witness said he was to special squads, like tho "strong-arm" squad, for handling vice, and declared he had predicted the serious results which followed the appointment of Becker as the head of that squad.

Speaking of the present administration, Mr. McCuilagh said: "Mr. Waldo is up a tree. I don't want to criticise Mr. Waldo: he has some ability in certain directions, but for any Mayor just to hand over orders to his commissioner and make him a recording clerk will put that commissioner up a tree and keep him there." R.

W. ATW00D NOT GUILTY. Charge of Larceny Against Youth Is Dismissed. The accusation of larceny made by John Gunther, saloonkeeper, of 453 Bed ford avenue, against a young man, who said ho was Rufus W. Atwood of Emer son, N.

was dismissed by the justices in the Court of Special Sessions, today. Gunther alleged that on November 7, Atwood sold him GOO cigars for J30, with the agreement that he would distribute cigar checks to the voters in the Fourth Assembly District and that Atwood would come In each night and redeem them. He said that Atwood had not "made good." TO DEPORT CHINAMAN. Lee Wah, a Chlneso laundryman of 408 Myrtle avenuo, was ordered deported today by United States Commissioner Morle. Wah claimed ho was born In this country, but It was brought out at tho hearing that ho had been In the country only since 1S96, and that he had not registered as required under the law excluding Chinese laborers from admission.

Assistant District Attorney Reuben Wilson represented the government and it la said' that It was the first case of Its kind In this district where there has been contest, that the (overnmcut has wou, grlji S'f Watch-Tower Society in solute Control of People's Pulpit Association Properties. HOLDS BIG MORTGAGES. Heights Kesidents Again Appear to Protest Exemption of "Pastor's'' Krai Estate. It was brought out today at the hearing before the Tax Commission on the action brought by residents of the Heights section to force the payment of taxes on the "Pastor" Russell properties In Hick street and Columbia Heights, that the Watch Toner Bibie and Tract Society absolutely controlled the People's Pulpit Association through three big full-value mortgages held by the former concern upon all the property held iu the name of the Watch Tower concern. This was brought out through the testimony of William Van Ainburg, secretary and treasurer of the Watch Tower concern, ami who was the only witness heard at the morning ecssion of the bearing.

Josian T. White, counsel for the petitioning residents, was prevented from directly cross-cxamiuing Vau Amburg by a ruling of tbo tax commissioners that he must ask all his quesLious through Mr. Peters, counsel for the tax commissioners. Mr. White expostulated, but to no purpose.

The tax commissioners refused to reconsider aud change their ruling, and Mr. Whiio was forced to ask all his questions through Mr. Peters. It developed from Mr. Van Amburg's testimony that the People's Pulpit Association, of which "Pastor" Russell is president for life, and which concern holds all the Russell real estate in Brooklyn, has no bank account, but is kept continuously in debt to the Watch Tower Bible aud Tract Society.

All money received by the IYople's Pulpit Association is paid over to the Watch Tower concern, aud that company pays all tho expenses, taxes of the Peo ple's Pulpit Association. The Tract Society holds a mortgage on the Hicks street Russell property of UOu, on the property at 121 Columbia Heights. $24,000 and another mortgage oi upon the People's Pulpit property at 122 Columbia Heights. This last mortgage, van Amburg admitted, was unrecorded, lie was asked why it hod not been recorded and an swered that it had not been considered necessary. Mr.

Peters asked him if ho did not know that the People's Pulpit Association could sell the property and give a tree and dear title under such a condition of affairs and ho replied in the affirmative but said there was little fear of that because the Tract Society con trolled so absolutely tho Peoples Pulpit Association. Van Amburg was also asked If he had ever heard of the Throop Realty and Improvement Company as being related to tho chain of Russell corporations, and he replied In the negative, after thinking a long time. Then he was asked If he had ever heard of that concern conveying to a Mr. Thompson or a Mr. Robinson property at 3 and 5 Poplar street and.

again after thinking a long time, ho replied the negative. An attempt was then made to get at the details of tho financial status of the Watch Tower concern. Van Amburg stated that the balance In the treasury for the year ending on November 1, 1012, was $26,607.12, and that the balance of the preceediug year's business amounted to $20,733.71. The total income of the concern during the year ending November 1, 1012, Van Amburg said, was $M9S. 322.42, and the total expenditure $371,713.30.

The former item was made up in part of $24,867.09 from the sale of Bibles; $120,000 from tho sale of books, and $23,473.70 from the subscription to the Watch Tower, a Russell publication. Included in tho expenditures were the following items; $50,960.30 for maintenance of a literary bureau and payment of press agents, hiring halls and advertising; $43,400, maintenance of a foreign bureau; S28.470.SO, cost of merchandise; $130,950.72, printing; $13,500.15. publication of the Watch Tower; other literature, building repairs, and an item ot $40,719.55 for the maintenance of a lecture bureau and the payment of the expenses of traveling lecturers to spread tho "paBtor's" teachings. BOND SALE ENJOINED. Delay ia Union Bank Matter Temporary Permanent Injunction Sought.

Jeremiah J. Mahoney, special counsel for the defunct Borough Bank of Brook lyn, appeared In the Manhattan Supreme Court, Special Term, before Justice Lehman, today, and argued for an Injunc tion to restrain the Metropolitan Trust Company of Manhattan from disposing of $.50,000 worth of bonds of the Island Cities Realty Company, in which the Borough Bank has an interest of $400,000. Mr. Mahoney obtained a temporary In junction, and the argument on the ap plication to make the Injunction permanent was adjourned until The $750,000 in bonds of Ihe Island Cities Realty Company Is held by the Metropolitan Trust Company as security for a loan made to that company by the Metropolitan and in which the Borough Bank participated to an extent of about $400,000. Without giving notice to the State Banking Department, into whose hands tbe liquidation of the Borough Bank has passed, the Metropolitan, according to allegations made by Mr.

Mahomv in court, today, advertised these bonds for sale. Mr. Mahoney discovered the advertisement yesterday, and late In the afternoon obtained a temporary Injunction, restraining the bank from making the sale. In his argument today, Mr. Mahoney brought out that the disposal of the bonds would wipe out one-half the assets of the Borough Bank and almost $500,000 of the assets ot the Oriental Bank.

Special to The Eagle.) Albany, February 27 Governor SulirT denied today that he had removed Henry J. McCord of Met rick, L. from the Advisory Committee on Good Roads that he appointed on Monday. He stated that Senator Thomas H. O'Keefe of Nassau County, who declared yesterday that the Governor revoked McCord'a appointment and named Lawrence C.

Klrwin of Hempstead in McCord's place, wag "mistaken." The Governor explained that he had ap- Henry J. McCord, Merrick man not removed from Arlvisory Highway L'ommlHsiun, Sulzer declares. pointed Mr. Kirwin as an additional mem ber of the committee, and hoped that all parties were satisfied. There is some dispuate as to what.

Governor Sulzer said to Senator O'Kccfe and Assemblyman Maloney, who went to see him on behalf ot State Committeeman Harry P. Keith of Nassau, to present the name of Mr. Kirwln for a place on the advisory committee. But the Governor made it clear today that what he intended was to satisfy both factions in Nassau and not to remove Mr. McCord, whom he had appointed on the recommendation of en old friend, George F.

Spinney, clerk of the Court of General Sessions in Manhattan. Tho Governor had no knowledge of the fight that McCord is waging against Leader Keith for the Democratic nomination for Supervisor In Nassau County. Senator O'Kcefo did not put iu an appearance at the Capitol this morning to explain how it was that he came to understand that the Governor intended to revoke the appointment of McCord and name Kirwin in his place, but Assemblyman Maloney, who went with the Senator to see tho Governor, maintained that he had also gained the same impression from the Governor remarkB. Mr. Maloney was quite surprised this morning to learn that the Governor had retained McCord and that he had also appointed Klrwin to serve with McCord.

The Governor stated Senator tveere had seen him in regard to the McCord appointment, but added that O'Keefe had lodged no protest against it. "He said Mr. Keith ot the State Committee had recommended Mr. Kirwin. and he recommended him, so I appointed Mr.

Kirwin elso and notified Mr. Keith and Mr. Kirwin to that effect, and 1 trust all are satisfied now. There seems to be some excitement about that on Long Island." Tho Governor later gavo out copies of two telegrams he had sent this morning "to clear tho matter up." were as follows: Albany. N.

DOCTORS. (Anxious to Get a Laboratory for Cul- ture Work and Treatment of Patients. Dr. Friedrich Franz Friedmann, who has cotno to this country with the avowed purpose of proving the efficacy of h's cure for tuberculosis, saw two distinguished surgeons of the I'nited States Government In his rooms at the Waldorf-Astoria today, and for over an hour tbey questioned him about the remedy which, he has said, he would first put at the disposal of the Government. The visitors were Dr.

M. H. Foster and Dr. Anderson of the I'nited States Public Health aud Marine Hospital Service, of which Dr. Rupert Blue is the head.

After they had left Dr. Friedmann consented to see the newspaper men. When he was asked by them what had been the result of the conference with tho Government' men his secretary, de Vidal Hundt, as interpreter, auswered for him: "Dr. Friedmann wishes to say that for any information about tho visit of Drs. roster and Anderson you must address yourselves to the United States government.

W'hile Mr. Hundt was speaking Dr. Friedmann, puffing rapidly on a cigar ette, paced nervously up and down the floor. Now and then he pased to utter a few rapid fire sentences in German to Mr. Hundt.

Mr. Hundt announced that. Dr. Fried mann hoped to engage quarters for the development of hla cultures today. Says He Has Bound Himself to No One With a Contract.

The German specialist waj also asked what reply he had to make to a story pu'olisucu this morning, which stated that Dr. Friedmann had drawn up a contract with a St. Louis man named Albert Von Hoffman, under which, if the remedy proved i. success, it was to bo patented and put on the market. "All that Dr.

Friedmwnn cares to say about that," answerer Mr. Hundt, after a bri. consultation In German, "is that he has not closed any contracts and conse quently did not break one. "The doctor has bound himself to no one. His only object in coming here is to put his medicine at the disposal of humanity.

Ho hopes to begin his treatment in two or three days at the latest and he will treat all who come to hlra, whether they are rich or poor. The only thing for which we are waiting is the lo cation of quarters In which he can give his treatments. Ho must have a laboratory. Pleased at Prospect of Quarters in Brooklyn. Dr.

Friedmann was asked about his hospital connections iu Germany. The question was suggested because some of the skeptical medical men iu this coun try have said that their information about Dr. Frlendmann's standing as a physician in his own country was very limited. Dr. Arthur Friedmann of Colorado Springs, brother of the specialist, spoke lor mm and said: "Dr.

Friedmann wishes to say in answer to this that he passed his medi cal examination In the German university of which he is a graduate, with the highest honors the highest distinction that could be granted by any faculty, and he carried away the highest prize for medical work awarded by Berlin University. He has also worked in the leading hos pitals and clinics of the German Empire. That is all be cares to say about that." It was evident that Dr. Friedmann wished his visitors to cut their interview short, and after a few more questions had been rapidly answered the newspaper men left. If Dr.

Friedmann comes to Brooklvn with his treatment he will very likely be able to get a room In which to use his remedy and patients who need the treatment at the Tuberculosis Home in this borough. When he was informed of that today he expressed his pleasure. READY FOR ART LOAN EXHIBIT, It Will Open at Central Museum on Saturday Evening.

HONEST POLICE HEAD IS HARD TO FIND; SAYS McCLELLAN Continued From Page 1. cause of the vast numbers and lack of physicians, dlsinse has flourished. "I think segregation would make It more easy to levy blackmail and collect graft. "It has been suggested that a solution of all these evils might be found if we created a special police of morals. The eyes of the public would be on the police of morals, it is argued, and as a result the publio would become 'shoo-fly' cops, so to speak, and the police of morals would have to be moral.

Crux of Rottenness In Police Department Is in Officers.

"The crux of the rottenness in the Police Department is in tho officers; above tho sergeant, if you he said. "1 believe many of the higher officers are admirable. Some, 1 know, are fit to hold office in any army In the world. The moral tone and fiber of the higher officers is rotten. How are you to change it? I don't believe you can do it by giving a Commissioner a 1 en-year term or appointing fifteen deputy commissioners.

The only way, I feel, to do It, is complete reorganization. "We have the impression- here that no man can be a good Commissioner unless he works up from the rauks," Commissioner Waldo Is Called to the Stand. Police Commissioner Waldo was then tolio which he immediately opened and iook out a mass or papers. Commissioner commenced bis testimony nmilvmir the Hnnartmont as he found it nnd as it is today.

The only one 1 remember attempting to- influence me was a gentlemen now presiding over i commission sitting here Alderman Curran by name." Waldo Says Politicians Have No Standing With Him. "When I first entered the city service, I let it be known that politicians had no standing with me.

"Last year 1 dismissed 113 men, but nothing wos ever said about that, for I do not have publicity agents. There were forty-six that have never been mentioned at all. I have forced out a lot of the older police captains and replaced them by younger men, who are not contaminated." In answer to a question by Senator Wagner, the Commissioner said: "To take away from the police the vice conditions or the city is only a continuation of a plan I have put into effect. Gambling can be stopped. We have stopped it." "I think the social evil should bo put under the heading of 'nubile milaane.

went on the Commissioner, "and then we could easily get convictions. It would also take from the police the chance of icramng. rersonany I am In favor of selling liquor on Sunday." "Would that stop grafting?" asked Mr. Wagner. "No," was the reply, "because they would want to sell at some other hours than permitted by law." Assemblyman McKee asked Mr.

Waldo If he favored nn Increase in the number of Deputy Commissioners. "Yes," replied the witness, "It Is along certain changes I have suggested. I would give tho Commissioner power over them. A school would be advisable If you could devise some school tnat could educate a man to be a police captain. 1 know of no such way.

After you get a man through school, he would then have to learn to bo a captain. I think it a very pretty idea but not practical." "No commissioner can personally lake care or ninety precincts. There are nineteen inspectors now. No commissioner could deal with ninety captains, therefore we havo to have "Have the Inspectors boon of any assistance to you?" asked Chairman Wagner. "The same as the captains, lieutenants and sergeants have," replied the eommlf-sloner.
