Deputy Sheriff Kendall of Sheriff Hobley's office has been looking for William R. for several days, and this morning stopped in Hearst, at the office of the New York American to if he levy upon some of Mr. Hearst's property to pay the costa of the action started time ago by the independent candisome date for Mayor against Mayor McClellan. Mr. Hearst was beaten, and Corporation Counsel Pendleton has filed with the sheriff of this county two executions, one for $130.10, with interest from February 27, 1908, and the other for $178.95, with 'n- from September 20, 1905.

Y. M. C. A. TO COLLECT 510.000 .000 IN TEN DAYS Sixty Workers, Divided Into Six Teams, to Comb Brooklyn for Money.

CAMPAIGN IS ON TO-DAY. Then Ten Thousand Dollar Club, Hopeful of Wiping Out a Fiscal Year Deficit. Beginning to-day and continuing until February 11, Brooklyn will be sceno of a remarkable canvass for the raising of a certain specified amount to cover the deficit in the current expenses for the fiscal year just closing of the Central Branch of the Young Men's Christian sociation. A club, composed of many willing workers, has been organized, and the members are pledged to do their level best to raise $10,000 in ten days. Men of experience in the association have been working on the details.

The plan was explained at a dinner given by the committee of management in the lecture room on Thursday evening last, when the "Ten Thousand Dollar Club" was formed. The club consists of an executive committee and sixty workers. These sixty men were organized into six teams, consisting of a captain, three lieutenants (the six undertakes workers. to The raise $4,000 executive during commit- the ten days, and each of the six teams will endeavor to raise $1,000. This makes ft necessary for every man on each team to raise $10 a day for ten days.

The six captains will direct the eighteen lieutenants, who in turn will supervise the thirty-six workers, each group reporting to their superiors at the end of every working day. During the ten days campaign, from February 1 to 11, an im mense bulletin will be displayed in the association building, which will indicate the daily progress of the club. This bulletin will be changed every night at 10 o'clock and will show how much each team has secured up to that hour. The greatest enthusiasm was manifested at the dinner when the plan was outlined and the system of raising the money explained. Howard McWilliams, the branch chairman, presided.

He said that the plans had been carefully arranged and that S. A. Moffat had presented them in detail to the members of the finance committee and the committee of management, and that the entire scheme had been unanimously indorsed. Mr. Moffat explained the scheme in detail.

The captains, he said, are men of experience, being the members of the finance committee; the lieutenants were chosen from the committee of management, and the workers were either department secretaries of the branch or members of the association. The sixth team is composed entirely of men from the rank and file of the membership. Mr. Moffat. stated that the task of raising $10.000.

which might be almost impossible if undertaken by a few men, even in a long period, would be comparatively easy by the division of labor, among a large force, within ten days. Mr. Moffat, by the way, has made a great reputation in the association as a financial hustler. In Saratoga Springs he had charge of a campaign for the raising of $15,000 in fifteen days, and the total reached $15,325 in the time specified. In New Rochelle he helped to run a forty -eight hour whirlwind canvass for the raising of $9.000, and when the two days were up, the books showed a total of $11.500.

Frank W. Pearsall of the New York State Executive Committee was at the dinner and showed the young men how easy their task was to be, illustrating his remarks by citing striking incidents from his own experience in this kind of work. He laid emphasis on the fact that the men who were giving up their time to the work were not beggars, but were rendering a public service in helping to maintain an institution that has done so much for the public welfare. E. J.

Gantz, instructor in salesmanship in the Central branch, predicted that the efforts to raise $10,000 would be more than successful. Elmer E. Thompson, captain of the members team, spoke briefly of a plan of that team to give a benefit by which part of their $1,000 will be raised, after which C. W. Dietrich.

the branch secretary, gave final instructions to the workers. Mr. Dietrich stated that the budget this year amounted to $57,000, of which $35,000 is derived from class and membership fees: $7,000 from endowment; rentals, and the balance by subscription. The amount to be raised by subscription this year is larger than for many previous years, owing to the loss in rentals. due chiefly to the Brooklyn Institute changing its quarters to the Academy of Music.

NINE HORSES LOST IN FIRE. Patrolman Discovered Flames, but Could Not Rescue Animals. In a fierce blaze that broke out at 3 o'clock this morning nine horses were burned to death in a large stable, which was a totally destroyed, at 29 Bristol street, Brownsville. Hyman Drachmen is the proprietor. Patrolman Michael Galvin of the Brownsville station discovered the fire and turned in the alarm that brought out the engines.

Galvin then made an effort to save the horses, whose screams of terror aroused the neighborhood, but they could not be removed. Galvin and other men were obliged to flee for their lives and leave the animals to their fate. Two hours previously a fire broke out at 354 Osborn street and spread to 356 Osborn street. The damage was estimated to be $800. MAN AND WIFE FOUND DEAD.

Deaths of Jersey City Couple May Have Been Accidental. With the gas radiator turned on full, Frederick Vahey, 40 years old, and his wife, Marie, were found dead from asphyxiation in their apartment in Jersey City to-day. There was no note or message left by either of the couple to indicate that their death was other than accidental. Vahey who was a mechanic had been out of work for some time. EXCISE ARRESTS.

Activity on the part of the police after the closing hour Sunday morning resulted in two excise arrests yesterday by the police of the Fifth avenue station. Both men are charged with violating the liquor tax law. Adolph Woehlkers, proprietor of the place at 494 Fourth avenue. was arrested and an hour later Charles bert, bartender at 203 Prospect Park West, was taken in custody. Yesterday morning Eugene Cartier, bartender at 5723 Third avenue, and David Harris, bartender at 4801 Fourth avenue, were arrested by the detectives attached to the Fourth avenue station.

All these cases were adjourned by Magistrate Geismar in the Fifth avenue court for a hearing later the week. NASSAU LIGHT-POWER CO. (Special to the Eagle.) Albany.

George Wellington Gibbs, the young Brooklyn man, who claims to have been locked up in a prison at Georgteown, British Guiana, for nearly a month, on false charges, told his story to an Eagle reporter this morning. He arrived on the steamship Korona, yesterday afternoon. and went at once to his home at 293 Manhattan avenue. was mistaken for some one else, by the authorities at Georgetown," said young Gibbs, "in spite of the fact that I showed them my passport and that all my luggage was marked with my name. They would not permit me to send for friends, and it was the greatest while before I could get word to the American consul, Arthur G.

Clare. "Every week or so I was dragged forth from the jail and arraigned. Ramon Garriga Cuevas was the name of the person I was believed to be, at least that was the name on the warrant on which I was arrested just ag I was to leave the place for the Barbadoes. It was December 22 when I started to vacate. My luggage was all packed and I had engaged passage on the Priemia, when word came to my hotel that I was wanted by the colonel of police.

"Of course, couldn't leave in the face of that, so reported at police headquarters, where I was placed under arrest. Then they locked me in the filthiest jail I have ever had the misfortune to lay eyes on. was not given anything to sleep on other than a heap of straw. The place was run over with rats, and several other prisoners complained of having been bitten by the creatures. The man who I was supposed to be was wanted for the theft of $12.000 from the Royal Bank of Canada.

I could not convince the authorities that I not Ramon Garriga Cuevas. Finally, was. however, a cabled description of Cuevas was received by the police, which differed materially from that of myself and I was released. "Before that though, I wrote a letter back to the States. The American consul didn't seem to be able to do very much for me, although my condition was some: what bettered after I complained to him." LOOKING FOR MC MULLENS.

Macon Street Family Wish to Communicate With Writer of an Eagle "Personal." Some time within the last five years a "personal" apeared in the Eagle asking for some trace of a family named McMullen, a member of which had once been in the butcher business on Court street, near First place. The business was given up about twenty years ago on account of the illness of Archibald McMullen, the proprietor, and the family moved from South Brooklyn. The remaining members of the family are now living at 191 Macon street, Brooklyn, and are trying to communicate with the writer of the personal. By a perverse fate not one of them saw the notice, although they regularly read the Eagle, but a week or so ago a friend of theirs happened to speak of it to them. Two of the sisters have poured over the files of paper, but have not been able to find the notice, and do not know where to address an answer, The McMullens do not know who it is that is looking for them, but think it may be their brother Frank.

who went West about twenty years ago and was completely lost to his family. They heard that he was living in Montana and bad married shortly after his arrival there. His wife wrote East a few times in the early years, but stopped her letters sddenly, and has never been heard from since. Whether Frank McMullen is living or dead at present, his sisters in Macon street have no knowledge. They are very anxious to find out, and hope that the Montana papers may become interested and start inquiries about him.

Another theory is that the Eagle 110 tice was inserted by someone whose conscience was troubling him on account of his debts. Many customers owed money to Archibald McMullen when he broke up his butcher business, and one of them may have desired to pay up. If that is the case, the surviving relatives will be only glad to get into communication with him, ARRESTED AT 3 A.M. Saloonkeeper Held and Charged, Also, With Assaulting a Policeman. John Bradley, 35 years.

old, who lives at 1560 Sixty-eighth street, and who has a saloon at New Utrecht avenue and Sixty-ninth street, was held, yesterday, by Magistrate Voorhees, in the Coney Island court, to await the action of the Court of Special Sessions on two charges of assaulting an officer and violation of the liquor tax law. The accused was arrested at 3 o'clock yesterday morning by Policeman Weider of the Bath Beach station, who declared he saw four men in the place at the above named hour. Weider said he was assaulted by Bradley when he entered the place. Bradley declared he didn't strike the policeman. HELD WITHOUT BAIL.

Patrolman James O'Brien of the Stagg street station arrested Charles Syske, 26 years old, of 1254 DeKalb avenue, yesterday, on a charge of felonious assault. O'Brien claims that the prisoner is ene of three men who, on November 10, assaulted him with blackjacks on Ten Eyek street, near Manhattan avenue. At the time of the assault upon the policeman, Jacob Frey was arrested. Frey has since been indicted and tried, and is now awaiting sentence. In the Manhaitan avenue court.

Magistrate Higginbotham held Syske, without bail, for examination. DIVORCED PASTOR HERE: OPENS NEW TABERNACLE Russell Is Head of Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society Which Has Moved. PREACHED TWO-HOUR SERMON Has Opened in the Old Bethel on Hicks Street -No Hell in His Creed. Pastor Charles H. Russell, who declares he does not believe in title of "Reverend" or "Doctor." and who from his own declaration intends to widely circulate his sermons through a syndicate, began his Brooklyn career yesterday by opening the old Plymouth Bethel, on Hicks street, near Fulton, as the Brooklyn Tabernacle, a name with which the late Rev.

Dr. T. De Witt Talmage was associated three times in Brooklyn. The Bethel was founded in the days of Henry Ward Beecher. Pastor Russell's reputation has preceded him out of the West, and the startling news, comes that he was divorced from his wife, Mrs.

Maria Frances Russell, in 1906. He is quoted as saying, in a letter which he wrote to his wife: "I do not think it right for persons of strong mind and character to marry. A Pastor C. H. Russell.

strong man should never wed a woman intellectually his equal, but one of weaker mind. I am adapted to no one but the Lord Jesus Christ, and I am thankful we understand each other." This he wrote, it is alleged, when Mrs. Russell accused him being too fond of his ward, Rosa Hall: "I am like a jellyfish. I float all around and touch this one and that one, and it they respond, I embrace them." Pastor Russell is the head of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society, which has its headquarters in Allegheny City, but which has now moved to Brooklyn, with rooms in the Bethel, and here can be procured tracts free of charge and Bibles at a small cost. It is claimed that the society has 50,000 persons connected with it.

Yesterday, services in the Tabernacle began with a prayer and praise service in the morning, and in the afternoon Pastor Russell talked for two hours and five minutes, and when he was through he stated to reporters who questioned him that the remark about "jellyfish" was not true. The trouble with his wife was that she was taken up with woman's rights. The young woman named in the divorce proceedings was married and she and her husband represent the Watch Tower Society of Australia. Their official title is "pilgrims," which is equivalent to missionaries in other denominations. Before the sermon, Pastor Russell explained that he did not intend to preach "a hell-fire religion," for hell was not a of torment, and declared that the place millenium was near at hand.

He also said that the "pilgrims" did not recognize as Biblical the terms clergy and the titles "reverend" nor "doclaity, nor of divinity," and such like, now in tor He explained that this did not vogue. disfellowship with any body of lead to believers. Pastor Russell outlined what was to be done at the Tabernacle: "Preaching services will be held in this auditorium every Sunday afternoon. Special services will be held from time to time in the surrounding cities and neighborhoods, for there are about twenty ministers of ability connected with our society's work here. These all give their services free of charge, either for meetings or funerals, and are at your call.

The lower floor of Plymouth Bethel, hereafter the Brooklyn Tabernacle, will serve us as a Bible and tract repository. The tracts you may obtain free, and the Bibles at cost: prices. We will conduct there a Bible correspondence school for the answering of theological queries and in gencral assisting to a clear understanding of the Bible by God's people and those not God's people, but who are 'feeling after him if haply they might find Already this correspondence feature brings us hundreds of letters daily inquiring in various languages for tracts and helps in Bible study. "It will be seen that ours is not the gospel of the higher critics and evolutionists. This, however, does not mean that we believe the Bible teaches all our well-meaning forefathers of the 'Dark Ages' supposed the Bible to teach.

We find that they burned one another at the stake for disbelieving things which the Bible does not teach, and for believing things which the Bible does The growing skepticism regarding God and the Bible, we find, is generally the outgrowth of a misunderstanding of the Bible's teaching respecting No sane man be blamed for rejecting the old theory that God first made a roasting 'hell' and can then made a race, knowing that all would spend an awful eternity there, except the few who would hear of Christ and become saints. This blasphemy against our Creator's Holy Name needs to be rebuked." ST. FRANCIS STUDENTS' EVENT. What will perhaps be one of the largest affairs held in the Kings County Democratic Club this season will take place to -morrow evening, when the Students Association of St. Francis' College will hold its first entertainment and reception.

The committee in charge has spared no pains to make the affair a big success. Nearly one thousand tickets have been distributed among the students, and there is every indication of a successful night. An excellent musical programme has been arranged, which will be followed by a minstrel show. LOESBERG GRADUATION. The graduation exercises of the Loesberg Business Institute were held Saturday night at American Star Hall, Pitkin avenue and Christopher street.

The programme was opened with an address by Edward J. McNamara, M.A., principal of the school. The awarding of prizes and diplomas was made by Dr. M. Newstader.

Commissioner Max Katzenberg and Edgar Dubs Shriner, Ph.D., also addressed the graduates. Miss Sadie Rubin delivered the valedictory address. TORRENS LAW IN EFFECT; NO EXAMINERS NAMED Apparently This Can't Be Done Till Appellate Division Meets in March. SOME INFORMATION ASKED. Procedure Relatively Simple, but Slow -No Rush of Business It Is Said.

Keen interest was manifested in the workings of new Torrens land law, which went into effect -day. There were a score or more inquiries in regard to the steps to be taken to register tities under the new statute made at the office of Register Prendergast in the Hall of Records. Under the law, in where there is en register he is made the a county registrar of titles under the new system. One "caution," a notice by a person interested that information is to be sent to him of any proceedings in relation to certain property, was filed. Another "caution," received by mail but unaccompanied by a fee of $1, as required by law, was returned to the sender, with information on the subject.

To each inquirer In regard to the printed working of the new law the following had instructions were given, which been prepared by Deputy Ebstein: Register How Shall I Make Application to Register My Title?

The application has to be filed with the Supreme Court, as well as with the register. Books for containing the certificates of title issued by the register have been prepared in his office and clerks have been assigned to the new work.

As the law only took effect to-day, nothing has yet been done by the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in regard to the appointment of official examiners under the Torrens act, whose work will be inquiry into the validity of titles which it is sought to register. Clarence Barrow, clerk of the Appellate in the matter of the appointment of exDivision, said that I nothing could be done aminers under the rules of the Court of Appeals until the Appellate Division sat again in March, but that a number of inquiries had been made in regard to their appointments. Meantime, applications can be made in Supreme for the registering of titles, the cases to be referred to the official examiners when they are named. Procedure Under New Law. The procedure under the new law is simple.

An application for registration is made by filing with the County Register, who by the statute is made the registrar of titles, what is technically called a "complaint," praying that the title to a piece of property may be registered. This "complaint" has to be part of a proceeding begun in the Supreme Court for a judgment of registration. The court refers the examination of the title to an official examiner, who must attach to the complaint a certificate of title, after he has examined it. This must contain what is usually embraced in an abstract of title, setting forth all rights, claims, liens or charges against the property in question. The official examiner must have qualified in the Appellate Division of the Suprme Court, under the rules of the Court of Appeals, for the performance of his duties and have given bonds.

When the matter comes before the Supreme Court for adjudication all owners, lien holders and. claimants to the property who can be found must be named as parties to the action and made defendants, and in order that no one may be omitted, this a clause is added to those specifically named: "All other persons, if any, who have any right or interest in or lien upon said property or any part thereof." Upon the report of the official examiner that the owner has a title which should be registered, the Supreme Court makes an order directing service of the summons and a notice that the action is pending on all defendants so they may make an appearance to defend their rights. The notice of an application for registration has to be advertised for four weeks and a notice be conspicuously posted on the property in question. Any person interested may appear and answer the complaint and may oppose the application or set up a demand to have the property registered for himself. The court must decree on the evidence in whom the title to the property is vested, whether in the plaintiff, who is the applying owner, or in someone else, and may remove all clouds from the title and direct the registrar to register the title.

The registrar makes the proper record and gives the owner a duplicate certificate. setting forth that the person named therein is the owner, subject to such mortgages, liens or incumbrances which the court has found to exist. Deputy Register's Explanation. Deputy Register Ebstein said of the working of the new law to-day: "of course we cannot tell how much business will come up under the Torrens law. We have had a number of inquiries in regard to it and one man two or three weeks ago asked to be the first to make application for registration of his title.

We send inquirers for blanks to the stationers, but I don't know that they have vet been supplied with them. "There really is nothing for this office to do until the Supreme Court has passed 011 an application, except to supply information. In Massachusetts, where the law is substantially the same as here. I understand that most applicants ignore the registrar and go direct to the court, where the aplication is passed on. Here the matter can be taken up by any justice of the Supreme Court unless there is so much business that there is a justice set apart for the title term, before whom all Torrens law business must go.

We are in readiness to handle all the registrations that the court orders, but I expect that for some time it will be only information in regard to the workings of the new law that will be sought."

"We were all Congressman Willett was hissed while he was telling a story some Greenlanders who had been converted by Moravian missionaries. He said that some months later some more revivalists visited the place and, observing that the converts seemed to be much more interested in hell than heaven, asked the reason why. "Why do you all want to go to hell?" the conscientious inquirer asked, according to Mr. Willett's story.

"Because it's warm there." answered the Greenland converts. Congressman Willett was somewhat taken aback when, at the conclusion of this narrative. some of the diners evidenced their disapproval with hisses and cries of "rotten." was urged to speak." Congressman Willett is reported as having explained wanted to talk on serious matters. but since that was not wanted I decided to tell a few stories. The guests, or at least some of them, were in quite a joyous mood by the time it was my turn to something and they had to be called say to order by Justice Maddox.

Some of them were on the road to intoxication." Congressman Willett charges his political opponents with having hissed him. He recently brought suit against Sheriff Harvey to recover on a $2.500 promissory and, Mr. Willett declares: the hissnote ing was simply an outbreak of the feeling of resentment against him nursed by his enemies.

16 Supplement, BUSINESS MEN TO MEET TO DEMAND FERRIES Legal Action May Be Decided Upon at To-night's Meeting in Williamsburg. OPPOSED TO ANY NEW SITE. Marshall Driggs Counsels Continuous Agitation Until They Have Succeeded. It is expected that some definite plan whereby all the civic organizations in this borough may work in unison to compol, by legal action, either the ferry company or the city to resume the operation of the ferries between the Eastern District and Manhattan, will be adopted at the mass meeting to be held this evening in the Long Island Business College, South Eighth street, near Bedford avenue. Nearly every board of trade will have representatives present to cooperate with the Eastern District Business Men's League, under whose auspices the meeting will be held.

There will also be present numerous prominent manufacturers and bankers, who will lend their voices in an effort to secure the return of the ferry service, and to protest against the purchase of a ferry site, such as proposed by the Sinking Fund Commission, at. the foot of Metropolitan avenue. Among the speakers will be exMayor Frederick W. Wurster, president of the league; Nels Poulson, president of the Heela Iron Works; E. D.

Seymour, president of the Manufacturers National Bank; Colonel Andrew D. Baird and Thomas P. Peters. It was expected that Marshall S. Driggs, president of the Williamsburg City Fire Insurance Company, would be present and speak.

In a letter sent this morning to John H. McArdle, secretary. of the league, he acknowledged the receipt of the invitation to speak, but explained that his health would not permit it. He declared that he was in hearty sympathy with the meeting and, continuing. said: have, as boy and man, been a resident of the Eastern District for more than sixty years.

I have seen it grow from country village to a great and populous section of the Borough of Brooklyn, and this has been in a great measure obtained by the ferry service between Manhattan and Brooklyn. It. has been a great highway for a mighty multitude of people, millions of capital have been invested in manufacturing establishments, supporting thousands of operatives, all of which is the result of frequent and certain transit across the waters of the East River. "It is well enough for the city to spend millions in the building of parks and the establishment of libraries, where we may go to spend an idle hour, but it is quite as important that the city should do something to aid the business community in this struggle to obtain bread for the teaming multitude centered in this imperial city. "To start a ferry at Metropolitan avenue as proposed would just about as satisfactory to the Eastern District as one at Newtown Creek.

What we need and respectfully petition is to have the ancient highway of ferry re-established, and let us give the authorities no peace, day or night, until they grant us relief." The letter from Mr. Driggs, who has been very active in trying to obtain return of ferry service, will be read at the meeting this evening. The plan of erecting elevators at the towers of the Williamsburg Bridge, as proposed by Lawyer John J. Clancy, which resulted in an open break between him and Controller Metz, at the meeting of the special committee several weeks ago, is generally rejected by business men. It is claimed that the plan would not be feasible and, besides, there would be the delay in the erection, which is actly what it is desired to avoid.

Controller and President of Ferry Company Confer. Thhere will be a conference this afternoon between Controller Metz and President Govin of the New York Terminal Company, which owns the slips and boats of the fiveferry lines which were discontinued in the Eastern District. Since the city decided to buy a ferry terminal of its own, it is understood that the terminal company is willing to make a proposition for the resumption of the service on a more reasonable basis than the original proposition which was made to the Sinking Fund Commission. Mr. Metz maw reach an agreement with President Govin in time to report to the Sinking Fund Commission at the meeting on Wednesday.
