McFadden, GRIEF FOR DAUGHTER UNNERVES McCANN Father of Missing Girl Is Near a Breakdown, Family Fears. LOSES INTEREST IN SEARCH. Story That Girl Had Been Found at Amityville, L. Run Down. Proves Baseless.

The continued fallure of every clew to the whereabouts of Jessie McCann, to lead to her, hag so discouraged her father that he today ordered everything in the house which was associated with her days at home removed or sold. He asked that her chair in the diningroom, her bed and bedroom chairs, and her piano music be taken away, saying that the sight of them was too much for him to stand. Acting on the heartbroken father's order, Mrs. McCann and her two sons, Harrison and Robert, were busy today carrying everything up to the attic. The family fears that Mr.

McCann will break down. He talks of nothing but Jessie now, but seems to take no active interest in the search. Another clew broke down last night. Just after dinner a telephone message came in from Long Island that Jessie had been seen, and so positive was the chief of police of Babylon that he had found the girl, that some of his enthusiasm was conveyed to the family. Robert 1m- mediately called up Acting Captain Coughlin, who is in charge of the search, and told him of what he had heard, and the latter made arrangements to go to Babylon at once.

The Babylon chief of police, however, protested, and told Captain Coughlin to stay away, for if he had been successful in finding Jessie It was a matter between him and the family. The police of Babylon were allowed to make the search themselves, therefore, and reported today that after a thorough search in the house in which it was reported Miss McCann had been seen, that she was not to be found. The result of this search was not made known to Mr. McCann, but Harrison, the second son, later statement regarding it and other clews. "My sister was not found to Babylon," said he, "and I doubt it she ever went to Long Island at all.

I do not believe, and the rest of the family is with me in this, that she was in Good Ground, and think the station agent there has made a mistake in saying that she saw her." Another development in the case today was the breakdown of one of the police detectives, who had been following her trail. Sylvester Brierton, of the Flatbush station who went on the clews to Philadelphia, Good Ground and other Long Island places, asked for a three-day sick leave this morning because he is physically tired out. He will not report again on the case until Monday. Amityville, L. December 19-District Attorney Ralph C.

Greene and hig assistant, Leroy C. Young, searched the home of John Mahler, in this village, last night, for some trace of Jessie MeCann. The tip came from George H. Wade, a neighbor of Mahler, that the girl had been seen there, and Chief Devin of Babylon communicated with the McCann family about it. The house was surrounded by the District Attorney and the chief's men; then Mr.

Greene and Justice James B. Cooper entered. The house was searched carefully, but no sign of the missing girl Wag found. CHUBBY GIRL WINS CASE. Didn't Want to Go to School-Truant Officers Restrained.

Thirteen-year-old Mathilda Ruger of 1410 Gates avenue, who has been fighting against going to because she weighs 200 pounds school, consequently ridiculed by the other children, won out against the Board of Education in the Gates avenue court today. The girl presented a certificate from her physician which caused the case of the truant officers against her to be dismissed. Attendance Officer William J. Black had the girl's father, John Ruger, summoned to the Gates avenue court recently on the charge that he failed to send the child to school. Mathilda went to School No.

106, at Hamburg avenue and Cornelia street, last Thursday to get a certificate of attendance from Miss Ray. the head of department. At that time she carried a baby in her arms, which. ste explained, to the court, was boarding with the family, and which it was necessary for her to care for. The court accepted the girl's explanation and dismissed the case.

YOUTH'S NARROW ESCAPE. Determined to Chop Out Electric Con- duit, He Barely Avoids Flame. Wonderful luck saved the life of a boy, who described himself as Richard O'Brien, 13 years of age, of 433 Wytho avenue, when he jumped down Into a manhole at Classon avenue and Hewes street last night and started to chop out an electric conduit. The conduit, which contains many pairs of "live" wires, is about an Inch and a quarter in diameter. Ag soon as the sharp edge of the ax had slipped throug the lead piping and started to tear through the wires a greet streak of blue flame shot up in the air and extended about a foot above the roadway.

Patrolman Valentine Alster of Clymer street station saw it and came up on surprised to see the boy, indifferent the peril, chopping was, away at another point of the conduit about three feet from where it had already been severed. Guarding himself carefully from the flame, Alster yanked the lad out. He was locked up as a juvenile delinquent. XMAS MAIL--NEW RECORD Incoming and Outgoing Bulk Biggest in Postoffice History. The present holiday season is the busiest in the history of the Brooklyn Postoffice, according to statements made today by local officials.

The outgoing mail this year is four times as great in volume as last year's mail. As early as November 7 of this year the increase was apparent. On that day, for instance, 2,300 parcels were sent out from the Brooklyn Postoffice, while on the same day in 1912 only 660 parcels left here. This general increase has held throughout the holiday season in the same proportion. Great as the volume of outgoing mail 1s, however, it is exceeded by thousands of packages of incoming mail.

From all parts of the United States and from foreign countries the Christmas mail has been pouring steadily into the Brooklyn office until the total volume this year is five times as great as for the same period last year. These Increases are due almost entirely, explained today, to the great. fact that this is the first Christmas that new parcel post regulations have been in force. The parcel post act went into effect January 1, 1913, 60 that this is the Arst holiday season in which packages and gift could be sent under the new law. There has been some doubt expressed by many persons who wish to send gifts by parcel post, as to just the amount of writing that is permitted to be sent with a package.

Foreign parcel post. packages may contain Christmas greetings not to exceed five words, but in domestic parcels any reasonable amount is permissible. CULLEN DEFENDS COURTS. Resents Criticisms Made by Ex-Prestdents Taft and Roosevelt. Albany, December 19-Criticism of the courts by ex-Presidents Roosevelt and Taft was declared "unjustified" by Chief Judge Edgar M.

Cullen at a dinner of the Albany County Bar Association here last night, given to Judge Cullen and Associate Judge John Clinton Gray, the retiring members of the Court of Apepals. "The courts of late years," said Judge Cullen, "have been subject to grave criticism for the principles on which they act and the prevailing tendency of their decisions. These criticisms have been greatly fostered by the public addresses of the two living ex-Presidents of this county, both of whom have the honor of knowing, and both of whom, in their personal characters I highly respect. resent their criticisms, not because believe that courts, more than any human institutions, should be exempt from criticism, but because I think in both cases the criticism is unjustified." Many of the alleged miscarriages of justice for which the bench was held responsible were declared by the speaker to be due to an imperfect jury system, legal technicalities aud red tape. The Thaw case was cited as an instance of this sort of thing.

NO LICENSE DENTIST Charge Which Is Made Against William J. Williams of Sherman Street. William J. Williams of 65 Sherman street was arrested today, charged with practicing dentistry without a license and held for the Court of Special Sessions by Magistrate McGuire in the Fifth avenue police court. Williams said that he was only the manager of the place, and that the dentist in charge had a license to practice.

Williams was arrested after a woman investigator had testified that Williams had treated her teeth. Williams said that he did not remember having seen her before. BOOKCASE PRESENTED TO KRACKE BY FORMER ASSOCIATES IN NAVAL OFFICE As a testimonial of their friendship esteem for ex-Naval Officer Frederick J. H. Kracke, the Republican leader of the Eighteenth Assembly District.

Kings County, the men who served under him during his seven and a half years in the customs service presented him this noon with a handsome bookcase filled with 400 selected volumes. Mr. Kracke is fond of reading. The presentation was made in the rooms of the Naval Office in the Customs House, Bowling Green, Manhattan, by the present Naval Officer, Otto H. Wittpen, who succeeded Mr.

Kracke in that office a few weeks ago. Mr. Wittpenn, speaking for the employees of the office, congratulated Mr. Kracke on the way he had secured the lasting loyalty of his former workers and commended him for the record he had made in the conduct of the Naval Office during his incumbency. Mr.

Kracke responded briefly, thanking the men for their testimonial and com- SAY FALSE PRETENSE GOT LIQUOR LICENSE But it Is Mostly Business Rival Who Objects to Sixth Avenue Saloon. TRICKED, SIGNERS DECLARE. Gave Consents on Condition It Was to Be Wholesale Store--Saloon Was Opened. Following the exposure of the methods by which a liquor license was secured for the St. Mark's Grill, another complaint that a liquor license had been obtained by misrepresentation, though no forgery of names is claimed, has reached The Eaglo from South Brooklyn.

After signing consents for the sale of liquor at 5701 Sixth avenue, about a score of the property owners in the vicinity subscribed to a protest, addressed to the State Excise Department, claiming that they had been tricked into signing the first consents by assurances that the congents were only for a wholesale liquor store and not for a regular saloon. Over a hundred names, representing owners of sixty-two pieces of real estate used 88 dwellings, had been affixed to the original petition, which on Its face wag perfectly regular, containing consents for ten more dwellings than necessary. The protest was signed by about twenty the original consenters at the request of Patrick J. Farrell, who runs a saloon on the northeast corner of Sixth avenue and Fifty street, the new place being located at the southeast corner. According to a statement from the State Excise Department at Albany, the original license had been granted November 12, 1912, and on November 27, 1912, the protest was received.

At that time the Excise Commissioner held that he could do nothing inasmuch 88 the original consents had been actually signed, and the license actually granted. the license issued, there would have Had the protests been received before been a delay until the facts could have! been investigated. Consents cannot be withdrawn after the license has been granted, unless fraud has been committed. No Fraud Claimed in Protest. "No fraud or deceit was claimed in which purported to be the protest," 1s the explanation obtained by The Eagle from the State Excise Department, "only the bare statement that the signers protested against their consents, which they had previously given, being used as to allow a saloon to be operated." Several of the property owners, whose tion, when Interviewed by The names appear on the original said that they had been given to understand that only a wholesale place would be operated at the corner.

Only a few of the storekeepers on Sixth avenue! said they were fully aware of the plant to open another saloon. "I signed both papers," said Mra. Jennie Harrington of 646 Fifty-seventh street. don't know who it was that came with the first one, but he certainly told me that it was only wholesale place he was to open. It the second petition.

signed that, was Patrick Farrell Who, came with too, seeing that it was a saloon that WaS opened. At the present time, however, I don't regret signing the first one, because conditions at the corner are better now than they were when the store was vacant. There used to be 60 many loafers that one couldn't go past In peace, but now It is kept very orderly, and I have heard of no complaints." Mrs. Grace F. Hayes of 563 Fiftyeighth street said she had at first refused to give her cousent, but on learning that only a wholesale place was to be opened and that it would not be on the corner of her street, she signed the application, she said.

Promised "Something for Christmas," Mrs. Hayes Says, "The man was 50 nice and she went on, "and he promised me something for Christmas, but I have never seen him since." She had refused to sign the second petition, she sald. Mrs. John A. Hagerstrom said she had signed the first application, because she had been assured that only a wholesale place would be opened.

Her husband had also signed the protest she said, but added that at the present time she knows of no complaints against the management of the new saloon. Bertha C. Babcock said she had given her consent on the representation that a wholesale place would be opened, but added that since that time she had come to think highly of the proprietor of the new saloon, John G. Flink, and his family, who live on the floor above the 98- loon. She said she had not been asked to withdraw her consent.

Mr. Flink himself, in the name of whose wife, Elsie Fling, had the license 1s held, said he had nothing to do with the obtaining of the signatures. but that he had heard that an effort had been made to get the license revoked shortly after It had been granted. "No False Pretense," Green Declares. David Green of 794 President street, whose name appears on the records as the witness to the signatures, said yesterday that there had been no irregularities about obtaining the consents.

you tell those people that you wanted consents for a wholesale place?" he was asked yesterday. "Nothing to it," he replled. "I never said any such thing, and if it comes to a 'show I'll go on the witness stand and tell what each of the signers said, and what I said to them." Patrick J. Farrell, who had prepared the protest, said that he got about twenty people to sign it. Among them, he recalled from memory, Mrs.

Margaret Sheehan of 612 Fifty-sixth street, who, he said, had been his landlady. Ellen Dolan of 614 Fifty-sixth street, John P. Hogan of 623 Fifty-seventh actreet, Matthew Green of 625 Fifty-seventh street, Mrs. Falkenhainer of 629 -eighty street, and a Mr. Parker of 569 Fifty-eighth street.

Farrell added that he bad heard nothing of his protest after it was sent to Albany, and that he had prepared it for the sole reason that there was not business enough for two saloons at the some street crossing on Sixth avenue.

Sees End of Race in Teaching of Eugenics in Schools. Chicago, December the of teaching eugenics to children in public schools is persisted in, the race will die out in 150 years," said Bird S. Coler; former controller of New York City, in an address last inght before the Industrial Club of Chicago, on "PatriotIsm and Philanthropy." "What are you going to do about the children whose minds are filled with the false science of 8 bankrupt materialIsm?" asked the speaker. "What of the foulness that Alls our theaters and impels those in comprehensible products of 8 sick sentimentalism, the sex hygienics, to put matter in the hands of children which the government bans from the mails?" Mr. Coler said he based his assertion regarding a dead race in 150 years upon birthrate statistics of A college for women, where eugenics and sex hygiene bave been taught for many years.

GREENPOINTERS PROTEST. Public Market Site Matter Is Again Discussed. Further protest WAS heard In Greenpoint last night against the suggested shifting of the site for a public wholesale market from Greenpoint to Long Island City. The Allied Bodies of Greenpoint, an organization composed of delegates from all civic and fraternal organizations in the section, met in the office of John MacCrate, at 861 Manhattan avenue, and adopted a resolution of protest. The motion to take up the market matter was made Thomas F.

Kelly, president of the Greenpoint Taxpayers and Citizens Association, which has been fighting for the market for more than a year. Ward R. Ream, secretary of the organization, tendered his resignation on account of pressure of other duties. Henry S. Burger took his place.

L. White was responsible for the costuming. The audience showed its appreciation with reverence proper to the theme by the omission of all applause. This mystery play will be repeated three times during the Christmas holidays. CARDINAL MARTINELLI ILL.
