A scathing denunciation of Leader James A.

McQuade by Joseph V. Flynn, one of his former supporters, and now chairman of the campaign committee of the rival organization, marked the meeting of the Jefferson Club of Greenpoint last night at the headquarters of that organization on Greenpolnt avenue. The meeting was called for the purpose of formulating final plans for the big primary fight which is to take place in Greenpoint this year when an attempt will be made by the followers of John W. Carpenter to depose McQuade from the leadership. In a rather lengthy address which ne delivered last night before the members of the organization, Mr.

Quinn explained his apparent dereliction from the MeQuade forces, on the ground that he had found McQuade unfaithful in his pledges to people. "His organization," he said, "is not repbone of the a organization, the people resentative of the people, and the backthemselves, have nothing to say in the affairs of the Fifteenth Assembly Distriet. "I will not support any he continued. "who will not consider the district above his own ambitions. I appeal to the people of this district to decide whether they are going to place in power a man who would sell his soul for political patronage, which has gone into his OWn pockets.

He is fifty years behind time as a district leader, and it is time that a man who represent the people be placed in power." After commenting further on Mr. MeQuade's record. he remarked that the only thing he succeeded in doing was to place himself in a $4,000 a year job, which. stated. was the sole goal and destination hon of his leadership In reference to McQuade's statement yesterday that he would not consider any compromise with the Carpenter forces.

Mr. Flynn said: don't want any compromise; it will be battle to the Anish." CITY AND SHOPKEEPERS SUED. Mr. and Mrs. Herden Want $18,000 for Injuries by Obstructions.

DR. TAYLOR IN HARD LUCK.

Robbed Here, Loses His Alexandria Bay Boathouse by Fire. (Special to The Eagle.) Alexandria Bay, N. August 13-The boathouse belonging to Dr. W. H.

Taylor of Brooklyn was destroyed by fire yesterday. In the house were two launches, which were also a complete loss. Dr. Taylor had been called to Brooklyn from his summer home at Chippewa Bay by the news that his city at 714 Lafayette avenue, had been robbed. He arrived there and found many valuables taken.

M. Schwartz, of 309 Broadway. Taubenfeld was found not guilty and was discharged. He avers the arrest was malicious and without proper cause, McCARTY CREDITORS DEFRAUDED, HE SAYS Former Justice Van Wyck, Counsel, Makes Startling Charge in Suit. LAWYERS WRANGLE BITTERLY "Conspiracy" Was Continued After Senator's Death by Heirs, Is Claim.

Sensational charges were made before Justice Crane today that the late Senator McCarty, years before his death, had transferred several bundred thousand dollars worth of his property to his sister, Sara, to defraud his creditors and that the conspiracy, 50- called, had been continued after his death and the death of his sister. There was along acrimonious argument between exSupreme Court Justice Van Wyck and exAssistant District Attorney Elder in which the lie was passed. Lawyer Everett Greene, together with Joseph F. McClean, Sara McCarty's godson, and Mrs. Margaret McCarty, Senator McCarty's widow, were called "plunderers," and to this Lawyer Greene took an emphatic objecJustice Crane spent much time "pouring oil on the troubled waters" befinished with the motion.

This particular case, as has much other litigation, grows out of the now famous "syndicate" operations, in which Patrick H. Flynn, ex-Senators McCarty and Frederick C. Cocheu, took part. The suit is brought by James K. O.

Sherwood as the assignee of a judgment of $50,937.78, secured by Anna V. Belden in 1902 against the memberg of the syndicate. tice Van Wyck, represented the plaintiff, and became the accuser in chief. The suit is aimed against the estates of John and Sara McCarty and the principal beneficiaries, Greene, McClean and Margaret McCarty. Mr.

Elder, for Greene, wanted the action dismissed, and this brought on a broadside from ex-Justice Van Wyck. He declared that McCarty had turned over all his property to his sister to defraud his creditors; that when he died he owed over $600,000 and was insolvent; that he died without a will, and Joseph F. McClean was made his administrator; that when Sara McCarty died it was found that her estate, save for about $50,000 in charitable bequests, bad left to McClean, her godson, and Greene, her lawyer. She also gave instructions that MeCarty's widow, who now lives at Goshen, be taken care of. Ex-Justice Van Wyck declared that McCarty's transfer of his property was a fraud upon his creditors and that the suit was for the purpose of having all these transfers--a large number of pieces of Brooklyn and Goshen property--set aside.

He characterized the of McClean, as administrator of the McCarty estate, and Greene and McClean, as executors of Sara's estate. as an attempt to "plunder" the estate, and declared that Greene and McClean bad made an agreement with the widow, transferring to her about $200,000 of Sara's estate to of certain litigation she had started and to save ber from creditors of McCarty. "I wouldn't be connected with that contract for anything in the world," shouted ex- Justice Van Wyek, "and expect to retain my standing as a lawyer." This and some other things that counsel said brought both Mr. Elder and Mr. Greene to their feet in indignant protest.

Lawyer Elder said that it was the first time that Pre had been called a liar in court and considered Judge Van Wyek's conduct as "too contemptible for notice." Lawyer Greene said that there had been a very free bandying of such words as "plunderers" and such like expressions and that when it came to the trial it would be found that there were no debts against the McCarty estate. The judgment, held by Sherwood. Greene said, was one of the old syndicate matters and he didn't think it could be enforced against the McCarty estate. Mrs. McCarty's lawyer also objected to having his client called names by ex-Justice Van Wyck.

Justice Crane calmed down the excited lawyers and said that he would have an order entered that the plaintiff must be ready try the case in October, otherwise Lawyer Elder co could move again to have the action dismissed.

On the Street Called Straight.

Set your boys' feet on the straight road to a successful career by choosling the right school from the thousands listed in The Eagle's Annual Educational Number and Directory published BARBERS MAY AGAIN STRIKE. A meeting of Local 374 of the Journeymen Barbers Union, W. was held last night at Capitol Hall, 16 Manhattan avenue, to discuss the present situation between the bosses and the journeymen, and upon the best action to be taken the circumstances. Ag fleetde, matters stand at present, the I. W.

W. Journeymen are unconditionally opposed to the contracts which have been entered into with the bosses by Leonard Frisina. It was Frisina's action in bringing the recent strike to a settlement in this manner that caused the break of Frisina with the I. W. and the organization of the Independent Syndicate of the Journeymen Barbers by those who supported Frisina and believed that it offered the only loophole out of the dificulties which beset the strikers.

The I. W. W. people, on the other hand, are to accept conditions as they now stand, as they claim that settlement of strikes by written contract 1s diametrically opposed to all the principles of that union. Attempts have been made to settle matter with the bosses, but they, on the other hand, absolutely refuse to relinquish the contracts.

The sentiment was expressed last night that, unless developments occur during the next few weeks, another strike may be expected. AUGUST F. BEBEL DEAD.

It was the smokiest and hottest fire that the department has had to contend with in some time.

Deputy Chief O'Hara feared that the heat wouid explode the adjoining 01! tanks on the borders of the creek and river. To safeguard against this. he ordered the Hewitt, Strong and Low. to use some of their powerful streams in washing the tanks down and keeping them cool, until the Standard Oil men had an opportunity to draw them off. Five Standard Oil fire! tugboats arrived in the meantime and relieved the fireboats, which then began to pump their mighty streams OD the burning box factory.

NONE WILL SPEAK ABOUT IT. Weismann and Levi Were First Closeted With Gaynor Before Other Delegates Were Admitted. Just what will be the attitude of Mayor Gaynor toward the remonination offered him this morning at City Hall by a delegation from the Citizens League of Brooklyn is unknown except by the eleven committeemen, who met him behind closed doors in the private office of the Mayor. After the committeemen had cooled long their after heels in the reception room their until the appointed audience, the Mayor sent out for Henry Weismann, chairman of the delegation, and Nathaniel H. Levi.

Then followed a long conference between the trio. Finalit was announced that the Mayor would receive his visitors in his private office. The committeemen had expected that they would be received in the reception room. What took place within is a mystery. After a ten minutes conference, the delegation departed, every member refusing to tell what happened.

Copies of an address which the chairman. Henry Weismann, was scheduled to deliver, had been carefully distributed to the newspaper men in advance. It could not even be learned it the Mayor had consented to listen to the chairman's oratory. A very significant silence was observed in regard to the matter. Those of the committeemen who were unfortunate enough not to escape from the newspapermen had "nothing to say." Mr.

Levi pleaded to be let alone. No word was forthcoming from the Mayor. It 1s not really known for certain whether the delegation actually made the formal proffer of the nomination or not. It Is considered significant that the Mayor first was closeted with Mr. Weismann and Mr.

Levi, before receiving the whole delegation. The notification committee comprised the following: Henry Weismann, Nathanlel Levi, John F. Becker, William J. Haviland, Frank Obernier, Edward Domaechke. Otto Wissner, William H.
