HOW HE FIGURES TO WIN. Comes From the Eastern District, and Expects to Capture the German-American Votes. Deputy Tenement House Commissioner Frank Mann returned to town today for the first time since his designation by Democrats for Borough President, and in a statement to The Eagle outMined his position and his views on the coming campaign ad the chances for a Democratic victory.

"I think the prospect is splendid," Mr. Mann said with emphasis. 'I am in this fight to win, and I don't care who the Republicans have put up against me nor whether he has all the indorsements in the universe. I do not thin, it will materially affect the Democratic strength. "I look on it this way: The Republicans and the Progressives are in reality but one party, being splits of the same stem.

The Fusionists, I admit, draw from both Republicans and Democrats but the movement is mainly Republican. What proportion of Independent Democrats it comprises, I figure will support it only in the event that they are disgruntled or dissatisfied with the selections for the Democratic ticket, and with all due modesty I do not think that they have any reason to be other than satisfied with the designations which have been made. If they call themselves Democrats or expect to be regarded as Democrats they are bound to support the ticket." As regards the various independent Democratic bodies, such as the Empire State Democracy, the Home Rule mocracy, the Gaynor Enrollment League and the Citizens League, Mr. Mann declared that he only knew what he had read in the newspapers and was unable to say whether he could count on their support or not, with the possible exception of the Citizens League.

She awarded the prizes the stadium, where she was surrounded by thirty girls dressed in white and each carrying long golden-tipped spears.

The parade was reviewed by Governor James F. Fielder of New Jersey, his military staff and a host of distinguished invited guests. MASQUERADING GIRL DEFIES MAGISTRATE Arrested in Male Attire, She Refuses Her Name After Two Days in Jail. PROBATION OFFICER HAS CLEW Mysterious One Says She Lived in Richmond Hill--Trying to Trace Her. "Catherine Clark," the woman in man's clothing who was arrested other day by Detective Bridgetts of the Flushing avenue station as a vagrant, was called before Magistrate Voorhees, in the Adams street court, this morning, for an examination.

The girl, still attired in the habit of a man, was brought from the "pen" and stood, smiling, and not a bit awkward before the court. "Have you made up your mind to tell me who you are?" asked the magistrate, who was convinced that girl was unthe der a fictitious name. Catherine simply smiled, showing a rOW of well kept teeth. "I want to know, Miss, if you are willing to tell me who you are?" persisted the magistrate. "I am not," she said, determinedly.

"I may send you to House the Good Shepherd for six months," the magole istrate threatened. "It you tell me who you are the result may be a different." "I'll not tell you," said the girl. "I do not want my people to know about this. "What is the crime charged against this girl, anyway?" the magistrate asked Detective Bridgetts. "Masquerading in men's clothes," was the reply.

"That is no crime," decided the magistrate. "This girl has a right to dress as she pleases. It comes to my mind that Dr. Mary Walker has been walking around in men's clothing for thirty years, and yet nobody disturbs her. This girl has a perfect right to garb herself as she pleases." "Dr.

Mary Walker has a permit from Congress," persisted the detective. "Of course," proceeded the magistrate, "Catherine was smoking cigarettes. But yet, cigarette smoking, even by a woman, is not against the law. And you tell me she was found drinking with some men in the rear of a barroom. That was bad, but not unlawful.

I don't know what to do with her. I think I ought to send her to the House of Good Shepherd as a vagrant, for she declines to tell where her home is." "Now, Catherine, will you tell me who you are, or do you want to be sent to the House of the Good Shepherd? If you go there your folk will know anyway," raid the magistrate. "I'll take my medicine rather than tell," answered the girl. "I'll stand for the I sentence." "Please don't send her away now," pleaded Miss Myrtis Fish, the probationary officer. "I have some information about her that I would like to investigate, and I wish you would postpone hearing in the case until Saturday at least." "Very well, Miss Fish," said the Magistrate.

"I'11 do as you say. I'll postpone hearing until Saturday." "Catherine" was led back to the pen and she will stay in jail, in her men's clothing, until her rearraignment. She had told Miss Fish that her true name was Elizabeth Trondle and that her home was in Richmond Hill. She did not give ber address, and Miss Fish will have to make an investigation in Richmond Hill to find her relatives. She persisted today in giving her age as 24, but Miss Fish believes that she is not yet 18 and that she has had some previous record as a prisoner.

The girl admitted that she had been in the House of the Good Shepherd, but the records there do not disclose the fact that any "Elizabeth Trondle" had served time in the institution. The police do not know her, and they have been honestly trying to And out something about her previous history. She told Miss Fish that she lived at home with her mother, and that she had a sister. Her father, she added, was not living there, but was somewhere "out West" making a living by gambling. Miss Fish thinks that part of her story is pure romance, but she is anxious to find out about 1 it.

CHASED HORSE IN AN AUTO. Albanese Finally Found Animal in Charge of Policeman O'Connor. Nickolas Albanese, a peddler, at Third avenue, started to his living, horse in front of the house at 4:30 a.m. today. The horse became frightened and ran away, with Nickolas chasing him in an.

automobile. All the way up Third avenue to Ninth street, and then into Flatbush avenue, after a wild run around Prospect Park, the owner followed the running horse but couldn't catch up. At Snyder avenue the horse swerved out of the way of a trolley car and into the iron fence in front of the Dutch Reformed Church. He broke that down, smashed the globe of the church lamp, and then started off once more. Patrolman James O'Connor, running from the station house, jumped for the horse's head and grabbed the bridle.

The horse was stopped after a short tussle. Nikolas came down Flatbush avenue a few moments later, in his automobile, going at full speed, and claimed the animal. BROOKLYN TO LOSE EXTRA AUTO ENGINES New Fire Department Companies Will Get Them in Near Future. SURPLUS APPARATUS A HELP. Bought for Outlying Sections of City, New Houses Are Near Completion, With the installation, on September 1, of the paid fire department throughout Newtown, Brooklyn will be deprived of something it has never before enjoyedsurplus auto apparatus, including twenty-eight engines, thirty-one hose tenders and twenty-eight hook and ladder trucks.

When it was decided to form new companies in Newtown and other outlying sections of Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx and Richmond, to replace the volunteer Are fighters, the Board of Estimate granted an appropriation for the purchase of eighty-seven pieces of auto apparatus. The machines were bought long before the new fire houses were to be opened and the regulars were to replace the volunteers in the old quarters, and SO Brooklyn has never been SO well protected against fire as it has since then. With eighty-seven pieces of spare apparatus scattered through the borough the firemen have been able to do mighty effective work, and it is with feelings of regret that they look forward to September 1, when the autos will start to move to the outlying sections of the greater city. While there is more likelihood of an auto apparatus meeting with accident than a horse-drawn vehicle, the fire department has been fortunate in having comparatively few mishaps with the horseless apparatus. The records show they can get out of quarters in quicker time than the horse-drawn apparatus, and it takes less time to crank the machines and get them under way than it does to harness the horses in the jig time which is characteristic of New York City's fremen.

In the event of the spark in the carbureter failing to ignite at the start, or the motor breaking down on the way to a fire, the nearest company not responding on a first alarm in that particular zone 1s notified from the nearest signal box, or by telephone, to proceed to the fire. While there may be some delaysand not a few of them have happened throughout the city, particularly Manhattan-the fire is always "covered" in this manner. An accident to Hook and Ladder No. 102, a horse-drawn apparatus, last Monday afternoon, is a striking illustration of the advantage the firemen enjoyed in having a spare auto truck in the quarters. The horse truck, while responding to a false alarm of fire, was turning into Flushing avenue from Bedford avenue, when it overturned.

One of the rear upright stanchions, supporting the extension ladder, parted, swerving the heavy ladder to one side and causing the truck to topple over on its left side. The nipple on the hind axle, the side step, mud guard and two hand lanterns were smashed, and two firemen, Frank B. Hader, the driver, and John Conlin, were thrown to the street and slightly hurt. Lieutenant Francis H. Bird, who was in command of the company, immediately tapped in an emergency call for the auto truck, which rolled out of the quarters, and was soon at the scene of the supposed Are.

While it was a false alarm it nevertheless demonstrated, in the opinion of Deputy Commissioner Farley, in command of Brooklyn and Queens, the advantage of having a spare piece of auto apparatus in the quarters. Several accidents have happened to the horse-drawn apparatus since autos were temporarily installed in the Brooklyn rehouses, Commissioner Farley said, today, and the spare apparatus has proved mighty advantageous. MRS. LENA SITTIG BURIED. Private Funeral Service Held for Children's Friend.

The funeral of the late Mrs. Sittig was held today at her home, 68 Montague street. Only members of the family were present at the services, conducted by Mrs. Carr of the Christian Science Church of Brooklyn. Interment in Greenwood.

Calder, vice president of the organization. The purpose of convening will be the presentation of the usual Christmas tree-this time as a memorial to the late president. There possibility of the charity being continued.

S. B. Hyler, Shred Frank Dean and Mrs. Arthur Hoffman. AMBULANCE SKIDS; 3 HURT.

New Machine of L. I. College Hospital Hits a Truck After "Blowout." A "blow out" in a rear tire of the Long Island College Hospital's new auto ambulance as it was crossing the Manhattan Bridge last night caused the machine to skid into a truck and was responsible for the injury of three persons who were riding on the truck, owned and driven by Joseph Left of 172 Allen street, Manhattan. Left leaped to the street and was uninjured. Three others were sent sprawling in the road.

Jacob Silverman, 25 years old, of 172 Allen street, received lacerations of the knee; Heyman Stein, 13 years old, of 28 Allen street, received bruises on the neck, thigh, head and shoulders, and Samuel Rulowitz, 6 years old, of 172 Allen street, received, bruises about the body. All were attended by Ambulance Surgeon Jennings of the Brooklyn Hospital. The auto ambulance was coming from a repair shop. It will be out of commission for several days. NO ARMY -NAVY GAME.

Word has been received from Carlisle that the Indians are to play West Point on November 29, and that the game is to take place at West Point. The arrangement of the contest means that there will be no Army-Navy football game this year. Since last fall there have been repeated rumors that the big match between Annapolis and West Point would not be played this year. West Point wanted to have the game at either New York or the Point. Annapolis insisted on Franklin Field, Philadelphia, the scene of the contest for several years past.

As neither institution would give in too the other, the soldiers have decided play Carlisle. ALBERT RYAN OUT ON BAIL. County Judge Tiernan today admitted to $10,000 bail Albert Ryan of 67 First place, the young man who killed his brother Daniel with a breadknife last Tuesday night. Joseph McNerney of 153 Sullivan street and Arthur J. Hildebrand of 50 Dikeman street put up property worth $20,000 and secured his release.

IS NOW PROBING SENATORS. Delving Into Election Expense Affidavits in Behalf of Governor. (Special to The Eagle.) Albany, August 28-Lawyer Nathan B. Chadsey, who has been engaged in looking up the election expense affidavits of the State Senators, in what is understood to be a "back fire" attempt of Governor Sulzer to disqualify enough Senators to prevent a conviction at his impeachment trial, is a former confidential secretary of Governor Sulzer.

When charges were made against Chadsey by the Association of the Bar of the City 01 New York, in 1910, Mr. Sulzer one of the men who came to the young lawyer's rescue with an affidavit character. Chadsey, nevertheless, was Suspended from practice for six months by the Appellate Division of the First Department. This suspension was later affirmed by the Court of Appeals, to which Chadsey carried his case. The charges against Chadsey, who at that time lived at 110 Windsor place, Brooklyn, were based on his tactics as a lawyer for Frank C.

Brown, an unfrocked Baptist minister, who also lived in Brooklyn at one time. Chadsey's offense, in the opinion of the courts, consisted sending threatening letters to a former parishioner of the Rev. Mr. Brown. The lawyer had attempted to gain possession of certain letters written by the clergyman to a young woman of his church, at Rowayton, Conn.

Justice Scott of the Appellate Division, who wrote the unanimous opinion of the court, said that while the lawyer was justified in trying to obtain possession of this correspondence he had chosen the wrong way go about it. It his object had been to obtain money, the court said, the letters would have constituted a clear case of blackmail. Chadsey had been admitted to the bar in Brooklyn in October, 1909, and had opened a law office at 2 Rector street, Manhattan. Before studying law he had been Mr. Sulzer's secretary, occupying a position later held by Louis A.

Sarecky, who may be adjudged in contempt of the Legislature for failing to testify about contributions of the Sulzer campaign fund. When proceedings were begun against Chadsey by the Bar Association many lawyers and personal friends submitted affidavits as to his good character and previous reputation for honesty and fair dealing. Governor Sulzer's affidavit, which was made a part of the records in the case, was dated November 16, 1910. It stated that the deponent was an attorney-at-law with an office at 115 Broadway, Manhattan, and that he had known Chadsey for over twenty years and was well acquainted with his family. Sulzer Gave Chadsey Character Affidavit.

"For over seven years he was in my employ," continued the Sulzer affidavit. "I have always found him honest, intelligent and industrious. He studied for the bar and was admitted to practice, and I have always found him to be a gentleman of the highest character and probity, and feel confident that he would never do enything dishonest, ungentlemanly or unprofessional. "Knowing him as I do, I take great pleasure in making this amdavit in his behalf. (Signed) "WILLIAM SULZER." The action of the Bar Association against Chadsey was based on a complaint received in June, 1910, from Charles Raymond of South Norwalk, to whose daughter the Rev.

Mr. Brown had written the letters which led to the revocation of his certificate as a clergyman in the Baptist Church. Mr. Raymond had obtained possession of the letters, and in April, 1908, he notifled the Fairfield County Baptist Association, which took prompt action. The Rev.

Mr. Brown, who was over 50 years of age, married, and the father of grown-up daughter, later moved to Brooklyn, and twenty months after his ejection from the Baptist Church at Rowayton, he brought a suit for libel in the Kings County Supreme Court against a Manhattan newspaper which had printed reports of his troubles in Connecticut. Chadsey was his lawyer and the amount of the damages he demanded was $250,000. Before the suit came to trial, however, the charges were filed against Chadsey with the Bar Association, which resulted in his suspension for six months. USED A FALSE KEY.

Charge Against Youth Who Is Held in $1.500 Bail. Michael M. Caporale, a driver, 23 years old, of 196 DeKalb avenue, was arrested at Clinton and DeKalb avenues, last night, by Detective McVea of the Gates avenue station, on a charge of having entered the premises of the Kayuga Social Club, Myrtle avenue, and stripping it of a partition, sashes and other trimmings, valued at $150. The complaint was made by Joseph J. Gallagher of 378 Myrtle avenue, who said that Caporale had entered the place by means of a false key.

He was arraigned in the was Gates held avenue under court, $1,500 this bail morning, hearing and on September 2. HELD ON HOMICIDE CHARGE.

He would have to wait until the Gaynor boomers had formulated their salte before figuring on that, he declared. Mr. Mann comes from the Eastern District and German-American parentage. He told that one of the strong Wast arguments advanced for him at the time his name was under discussion for the designation was that he could pull a large German-American following.

"Brooklyn should have had its new long ago. There has been too much delay. It doesn't make any courthouse difference to my mind who has the power of selection, whether it is the judges or the Board of Estimate, although I think ought to rest with the members of the it board as every other city improvement does. There should not have been any exception in this respect. It might have that the judges should be been provided consulted to ascertain their preference, but the final decision, think, should rest with the board.

There has Commissioner Mann declared that he has not yet had time to outline his plan of campaign or decide on the issues he will make outside of the Democratic platform, with which he is in hearty accord.

Mrs. Joseph McGrane, of 1088 Fulton street, whose husband was held in $300 bail for Special Sessions by Magistrate Steers, in the Flatbush court, yesterday, on a charge of assault preferred by his wife, "I admit today, made, a several suffragist," denialaid Mrs. McGrane, today. "But I deny that our domestic troubles came from my wish to vote.

It was another woman, who boarded with us and whom I wished to have leave our house. But my husband wanted her to stay, and there we were. When a man's in a temper, you know, he does things he wouldn't think of doing in his saner moments." Mrs. McGrane then proceeded to make a detailed denial of the published accounts of her domestic infelicities. Her husband, she said, was a "great big man" and not a little fellow as was reported.

"There were no suffragettes in court, yesterday, either," said Mrs. McGrane. "And to say that I ever made my husband listen to suffrage speeches is absurd. Why I don't know enough about the subto speak on it. All I know is that I Ject want to vote.

I earn my own money, too, making bead necklaces and selling them, SO that my husband does not have to provide me with pin money. Lawrence and FRENCH CO. COMES HERE. General Fire of Paris Appoints Samuel Block Co. Exclusive Agents.

Following close upon Justice Donnelly's decision in the Supreme Court yesterday in the suit of the American Taximeter Company in which he refused to enjoin the city from carrying out the provislong of the new taxicab ordinance, two chauffeurs describing themselves res as George S. Martin of 474 Utica avenue, Brooklyn, and Louis Propper of 112th street, Manhattan, were arrested late last night by Patrolman Smith of Traffic in front of the Cort Theater on East Forty-eighth street, Manhattan charged with a violation of the taxicab law and disorderly conduct. Inspectors of Licenses Burke and Eschardt, saw the two taxicabs in front of the theater with the flag on the taximeter down. When the chauffeurs, in answer to questions, said they had no public hacking licenses, the inspectors tried to serve summonses on them, which they refused. On their refusal they were arrested on the additional charge of disorderly conduct in addition to the taxi ordinance violation.

In his decision yesterday Justice Donnelly sustained at every point Assistant Corporation Counsel O'Brien, who, handiing the later cases, declared that the deincision of Justice Seabury in the major cases was good law and should be garded as final. "Justice Seabury has passed upon the constitutionality of the ordinance in said Justice Donnelly in his decision, "in his opinion filed in the case of the Yellow Taxicab Company and others versus the same defendants, and. for the reasons stated in said opinion also hold that the ordinanace is constitutional and valid." The greatest sufferers under this decision will be the proprietors of the aight-seeing cars. The ordinance is calculated to free the streets of these, when not in use, and this provision was upheld and sustained by yesterday's deci4 sion. The best the "rubberneck" companies can do now, is to establish waiting rooms, sell tickets, and when a wagon load is ready, bring the car around to the door.

While this works out well in theory, in practice, it 18 pointed out, the lure of the waiting car is the greatest sort of drawing card for the throngs of curious persons who parade the streets.
