INDIGNATION MEETING HELD.

Committee Appointed to Assist District Attorney Whitman in Unraveling Tangle. Writs of replevin were resorted to this afternoon by Metropolitan Opera subscribers whose tickets for the season, including those for the opening performance tonight, have been withheld by the Metropolitan Trust Company because of the tangled situation growing out ot tho tender of the tickets by Tyson the theater ticket agency, as security tor a loan. One replevin writ 'was served this morning by ono of Sheriff Harburger's deputies 'on behalf of Simon Marx, a subscriber, and ho obtained from the trust company Mr. Marx's two tickets, valued at J270. Sheriff Harburgcr has still another writ to serve calling for recovery of four tickets worth $303.

The application for this second writ was made by Jacques Kahn, owner of the tickets. The issuance of the writs of replevin and the word that one had caused the recovery of the tickets belonging to Mr. Marx caused many subscribers to say that they would try the same plan. The Issuance of the writs became known at an Indignation meeting held by about a hundred subscribers, and most of them rushed at once to retain attorneys by telephone, with tho order to secure such writs Immediately. As the law specifies that property secured on writs of Teplevln must be held by the sheriff for three days, it IB doubtful if the writs can do much good, except in the case of tickets for performances later than Wednesday.

The hundred disgruntled subscribers of the Metropolitan Opera House held their Indignation meeting In the Hotel Belmont and appointed a committee to cooperate with District Attorney Charles S. Whitman in his investigation of tho holding of the opera tickets. Ex-State Senator Frank D. Pavey presided at the meeting. "I understand that District Attorney Whitman is going to take Immediate action In the matter," said Mr.

Pavey. "In. fact I talked to Mr. Whitman last night and he made known his willingness to assist us. I move that, a committee be appointed to co-operate with the District Attorney and give him all the assistance in its power." Mrs.

Sarah Hesslcin ot Bronxville scored Metropolitan Opera Housa nconle. It was suggested tnat Hessslein serve as a member of the committee to -be appointed to assist District Attorney Whitman in an investiga- tlon of the matter. "I would rather not serve," said Mrs. Kesslcln. "1 am not a suffragette, and I think men would make better committee members than women." Mrs.

Hesslcin was prevailed upon to serve as a member of tho committee. The committee, as appointed by ex- Judge Pavey, was composed of four men and Mrs. Hesslcin. Besides airs. mis-; lein, 'the conimlUeemen were: Otto M.

sternfeld." Dudley F. Dick, mid E'd'waVd BeOrieche. The committee ot five immediately ten the Hdtel Belmont to go to the offices of District A delegation went Immediately to the offices of the Metropolitan Trust Company on the third floor of the Hotel Manhattan. A chorused demand wag made, by the delegation for the production of the opera tickets, which was refused by an official, of the trust company. The committee appointed by the subscribers, Frank D.

Pavey, Otto M. Sternfeld and A. E. Dick, but short two of Its members. Dudley F.

Phelps and Mrs. reached the District Attorney's ollicc this afternoon and had a three-quarters' hour talk with Mr. Whitman. Following the talk they left with the understanding that they would return at 3 p.m. to renew the discussion.

Just what was accomplished at this conference was not given out. MAY FACE PERJURY CHARGE. Signature on Agreement Denied District Attorney Gets Case. After Morris H. president of the Standard Metal Spring Company, had denied his signature on an agreement and Louis M.

Picker, a lawyer, nnd David N. Carvalho, handwriting expert, had contradicted his testimony.

Por Infants and Children, The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears tho IS READY FOR NAVY Makes Speed of 30.3 Knots Over Her Final Trial. ONCE FAILED REQUIREMENTS.

Likely Soon to Be Formally Accepted by Government Has Been Rebuilt. The iinal speed trials of the torpedo boat destroyer Henloy, which were held off Sandy Hook and the Ambrose Channel Light last Wednesday, resulted in a speed of 30.3 knots an hour, it was announced at the Brooklyn Navy Yard to day. This speed was eight-tenths of a knot In excess of the contract requirements, which called for a speed of 29.5 knots an hour. This means thnt the Henley 1b now ready for its final acceptance by the United States Government. When the Henley went Into commission on December 6, 1912, all but 20 per cent, of the contract price was paid over to the Fore River Shipbuilding Company, builders of the Henley, in accordance with the Government's usual custom of withholding that amount until the ship had been in commission for six months.

The Henley, however, on her first trips was not able to develop sufficient speed and a great deal of the machinery was overhauled, repaired and replaced by the ship's own crew. Then when the Henley was about ready for her final trials, she struck a submarine obstruc tion, while proceeding to Newport, last August, and was forced tp put back Into me uroouiyn yard tor repairs. This lur-ther delayed her final trials. The Henley's speed on her trials of last Wednesday was nothing phenomenal as with tho 33.14 knots de veloped by the deBtroyer Jenkins on October 21, 1912. It was pointed out at the yard today by officers of the Henley that the destroyer could have made two or three knots greater speed had It not been for the limit put upon turbine pres sure since the fatal explosion on the destroyer Walke on October 1, 1912, when one officer was Instantly killed and four other men died subsequently as the result ot their Injuries.

CHINAMEN FIGHT TAX. 1,500 Shops on Isthmus of Panama Closed; Public Inconvenienced. Tanama, November 17 The Chinese question assumed a serious turn in the Republic of Panama today, when all the Chinese merchants, wholesale nnd retail, numbering 1,600 ir more, acting according to a prearranged plan, closed their places of business, after posting notices stating that the doors ht bten shut for the pur pose of taking an Inventory. This was the first time the local Chi nese have ever closed their places of business for such a purpose, and In view of the fact that their laundries and mar ket stalls also were closed, their act Is regarded as an effort to compel the Panama Government to recede from Its announced programme relative to the en-r forcement ot the new registration law, which compels Chinese residents to take out- new certificates of registration on payment of a fee, or render themselves liable to deportation. The shutting of the small stores has entailed considerable hardship on th poorer classes of citizens, to whom the Chinese sell butter, lard, rice and other articles In small quantities.

Much annoyance also has been caused by the non-delivery of clean linen. In such cases, however, If the laundries are not reopened within a reasonable time, the police have been authorized to take action. The Pnnama government today announced its decision to stand firm and orders were issued to all provincial governors to proceed with the arrest of Chinese not complying with the regis-traton law before the expiration of the present ten day period of grace which ends on November 25. The Chinese shopkeepers In the Canil zone have not been aifected. PERASS0 TO CONTEST VOTE.

Patronage Seekers Find Limited Fiold for Places Under Borough President. jONLY FOUR VACANCIES SURE.

President Pounds' Policy of ''Find the Fit Man" Causes Shock to Professional Job-hunters. Job hunters around Borough Hall received sho-k today when they learned that all mid Preslii. nt Pounds has only thirteen places exempt from Civil Service at hio disposalby no means enough to go around among the deserving faithful. I'And the gloom was still further Increased by the knowledge that there were several of these places that would not be 'va cant" after January 1. As the Job hunters sum the matter up the situation looks like this: Commissioner of Public Works, now va.

cant, salary fU.QlHi. Deputy Commissioner of Public Works. Thomaa B. Llneburgh, Republican leader of the Fifth Assembly District, the pr63-cnt incumber, salary $5,000. Will not be vacant after January 1.

Secretary to the Commissioner, now held by James M. Power, salary J3.300. May be vacant after January 1, as Power may become secretary to Pounds. Superintendent of Highways, nov held by John W. Tumbridge, a Democrat; salary Will be vacant after January 1.

Superintendent of Public Buildings and Offices, now held by Howard L. Woody; salary $5,000. Vacancy after January 1 very doubtful. Superintendent of Sewers, now held by William J. Taylor, Independence League county chairman; salary $5,000.

Vacancy after January 1 very doubtful. Secretary to the Borough President, now held by John B. Crelghton; salary $4,000. Will probably be vacant after January 1. Borough Secretary, now held by Reuben L.

Haskell; salary $3,600 a year. Will be vacant after January 1. Superintendent of Buildings, now held by Patrick J. Carlin, a Democrat; salary Vacancy very doubtful, Secretary to Superintendent, now held by H. M.

Kennedy; salary $3,000. Vacancy doubtful. Assistant Superintendent ot Buildings, now held by H. O'Donnell; salary $4,000. Vacancy doubtful.

Confidential stenographer to-the Borough President, now held by Harry B. Ball. Salary $1,800, vacancy doubtful. Confidential Inspector, now held by W. G.

Carlisle, vacancy very doubtful. There are also two exempt Inspectorships In the Building Department, but they are under the control of the head ot that department. Only Four Vacancies Certain. Of this list the Borough President will not have much to say about the assistant superintendents and tho secretaries r.f other departments as the choice for. men for those places Is largely with tin head of the bureau or department.

By the most optimistic fijfnYJn'iJf the best the Job hunters can do Is to reckon' on fu.il certain vacancies the' Commissioner of Public Works. Borough Secretary, Superln--tehdont'of Highways, and to Hie Borough President. t- Of these at least one, that of secretary to the President, Is a confidential and personal position, which will probably be filled by very close personally to Mr. Pounds. According to the word that went out today, James M.

Power, who was secretary to Mr. Pounds when he was Public Works Commissioner, Is slated for this place. That would leave his place vacant, of course, but tt woutd not Increase the number of Jo.bs for, -fa! tlrful. (. The attitude that Mr.

Pounds has taken with regard to the disposal of the office of Public Service Commissioner Is also discouraging to the patronage seekers. Mr. Pounds has let It be known that the man for this office must be peculiarly fitted for it, not only by an intimate knowledge of borough affairs, but by having large financial or business Interests in the linriugh which will Insure his careful attention to the wcrk In hand. Murphy Suggested for Trumbrldge's Job. Charles F.

Murphy, Republican leader of the Tenth Dlstrlrt. who has been talked about for half a dozen Jobs, among them Tax Commissioner Untlershcrlff, is said to be one of the lending candidates for Superintendent of Highways. Very few of the Republican leaders are visiting Mr. Pounds at his office In Borough Hall regarding patronage. Today It was said that only four out of the twenty-throe had been seen there since his election.

Most of them, it was declared, were Importuning him at his home, or on the street. O'Keeffe's Friends Urge That He Be Ketnined By Mitchel. Friends of Brldg-' Commissioner Arthur J. O'Kecffe lake exception to the statement made by Job hunters thnt he has been definitely slated to be dropped from the Mitchel administration. It Is asserted that the Mayor-elect has come to no such conclusion, and that there Is ft good prospect of the retention of O'Keeffe after January 1.

Strong efforts are to be made to Induce Mr. Mitchel to keep O'Keeffe where he Is. The new Mayor ii' to he told that If ho Is, anxious to retain efficient men he would' i.ike a mlsinlte by disposing of the present Bridge Commissioner. The hatter's record will be pointed to as the chief reason for his retention. it Is understood that some of the men who have led the movement for the improvement of Brooklyn will go to the front for O'Keeffe.

It is known that his work In Improving the approaches to the various hrid jes has ereitcd great satisfaction, and given the Impression that he lias been getting real results. Is said to he a big barking for him in jibe neighborhood of the Quorn-hore I and the Williamsburg Bridge and the Ilrlghts section has frequently i indicated its approval of what O'Kcallc lias done tn help Hie City Planning Com-! mil tee; O'Keeffe's support Is understood to come largely from min-polltlcal circles.

Saves Guesswork E3 We have been trying, in nn underhanded v'ay, to si'tui'o jumis selected on any consideration of religion or politics.

"W'c stand ready to produce witnesses here and now to substantiate these statements. "That among the talesmen so inquired of, who heard thereof and who expressed their indignation thereat, were, as 1 am informed and veriiy believe, r'red Lemmerniaii and T. Sawyer. "1 pray liat they be now sworn and examined in proof of the above averments, and to the end that the defense, in open court, may -be absolved from any possible suspicion In the premises." When Jilder had finished veading the affidavit he then made a formal motion such as the affidavit indicated. "Hoes the llieti AUonu ish to say snythtns?" inquired Justice Kelby.

Mr. Cropsey shook his hetid with a loolc ot great dirgtist. Then Justice Kelby said lie thought that the subject matter of the motion could be investigated on the ex-timination of each talesman and ho denied the motion. Then the Jury box was tilled. Selection of the Jury.

Mr. Cropsey's questions were mainly to find out whether the Jurors had, any of them, been Intimate with any of the defendants, while Mr. Elder tried to find out how active they had been in polities, and, afterward, whether they had heard of any inquiries being made about them with special reference to their religion and politics. It developed that very few of the Jurors called had voted at primary elections and three or four had heard of some Inquiry being made at their homes about them personally. What they hcajd.

In each case, proved very indefinite and only one talesman, R. H. Starbuek, of Circene avenue, said he had been displeased at the Inquiry. He said that he would be very apt to feel sore at which ever side did it it" he could find out. Justice Kelby let him go.

During the examination of the talesmen, which lasted until 12:45 p.m., when the box was filled, the defense exercised its full list of five peremptory challenges and Mr. Cropsey four. The defense excused James Simson, 150 Argyle road; Charles H. Merritt, 8315 Thirteenth avenue: Henry I. Judson, 116 Willie a-street; K.

H. Winslow, 53 Monroe street and Herbert D. Seanion, 73 Herkimer street. Mr. Cropsey excused Louis Kon-rad, (14 Wyona street; Adolph E.

Muller, 73S Maron street; I'atrlck O'Connor, Colycr street and William S. Smith, 915 Ditmas avenue. Besides Mr. Starbuek the court also excused Richard D. Hart of 315 Greene avenue.

The Jurors finally selected were: Edward H. Gowcr. Third street; Samuel K. rarklll, 1754 Dest Seventh street; Henry Von Glahn. 229 Washington ave- nue; Edgar Davis.

476 Greene avenue; Thomas Cashman, 310 Madison street; Edward E. Dole, 247 StuyvesaU avenue; W. W. Wayne, 290 Stratford road Charles Peabody, 337A Macon street; Malcolm S. Banks, 178 place; Leslie H.

Harlow, 12 Woodbine street; Stephen Valentine, 62 Eighth street, and Theodore Marehe ot 912 President street. As soon as the jurors were sworn In Justice Kelby adjourned until 2 o'clock, 4 cautioning the jurors not to d4souss the case either with each other or with anyone else. 1 That other persons, in add'ltlon to those who are on trial, would be involved in the political conspiracy was the statement made nt the opening address to tho jury by Assistant District; Attorney William Paul Allen this afternoon. Mr. Allen said that the names of John Nelson, Louis Rnppuzi.

John Brooks and a half a dozen others would be brought out in connection with the riotous scene that attended the spring primary election of last year In Senator Carroll's district. Mr. Allen told the Jury that since th? five defendants had pleaded to their indictment more than a year ago, a great deal of additional evidence had been unearthed that would tend to show that the men involved In the conspiracy not only assaulted the election officials but even went into the booths while voters were marking their ballots and assaulted some whose vote did not suit their purpose. Mr. Allen explained nt great length the law which the five men on trial are charged with violating and said that most of i he evidi nee to be produced by a great many witnesses for the people concerned scenes enacted in a polling place at North Sixth street.

The jury was told that men who were known to be Carroll sympathizers were allowed to enter the polling place by a rear door and take precedence over a long line of men who were suspected of siding with the faction oni'i'seil to Carroll in that primary fight. Mr Allen also told the jury that Senator farroll personally gave the' order to eject Michael Rosenthal, an election In-Fpcrtnr, from the polling place, and thnt Luke O'Reilly, the lawyer, forcibly pushed the Inspector out through the ann into me street minus his hat and coat. CHILDS MAY HEAD MOOSE. William Hamlin Chlids will this afternoon be offered the position of chairman of the Kings County Progressive Committee. E.

W. Allen and others have been empowered to wait upon him and offer him the position left vacant by the death of Timothy L. Woodruff. Mr. Childs has not yet made his position clear upon whether or not he will accept the offer.

It, Is understood that last week he was prepared to accept Such nn offer, but that he Is not quite enthusiastic. If Mr. Childs does not ar-cept the position Charles Aronstam will be the candidate. Tho belief tills afternoon was that he would accept the position, possibly against his inclinations. He is very wealthy, and lives on Prospect Park "West, and Is one of the most influential men in the new DEATH OF MARY L.
