May Provide Jail Penalty for Saloonkeepers and Their Customers. Albany, February 19-Senator A. Burlingame of Brooklyn, in a statement given out to-day, announces his intention introducing legislation with a view compelling the enforcement of the a law in the first, second and third cities of the state. The remedies he poses are drastic, one of the of the bills he is drafting taking provisions, forcement of the law out of the of the police authorities and vesting solely with the State Department of cise. "The bills in course of preparation," says the statement, "will absolutely hibit the police from entering saloons less to preserve the public peace.

non-enforcement of the law, and I speaking of the existing conditions New York City, is one of the most life, it not the chief source of corruption of the police department. I speaking in general terms. I do not to state that the police force of New as a whole, is corrupt. I know it is It includes a number of brave, conscientious men. It also includes a number of downright grafters.

The non -enforcement of the excise law is a source of revenue to dishonest officials and tions in New York City were never worse. The situation is a public scandal. It has existed for some It now mands immediate attention. The state authorities can enforce the law. state government now has a force of sixty special agents.

They work independently of the 18,196 police officers of the state, which number includes the 6.661 officers outside the cities, including sheriffs, deputies and town constables. "Since the police authorities in York City, and I am informed that much the same conditions obtain in the other cities of the state, have failed to enforce! the law. I believe the state should Intervene. The law is being flagrantly violated. This situation promotes, public contempt and disrespect and der.

It should not be permitted to continue. 'The proposed law will provide for material increase in the number of deputies. The excise law. in my opinion, should be strengthened. It appears that money penalties have not deterred violation.

It has been suggested. and I have the matter under consideraion.to provide jail penalty for violation, both for the saloonkeeper and the saloon customer. The saloonkeeper would not violate the law it he understood that a jail term faced him. Neither would the average man attempt to break the law if a similar situation confronted him. My sole purpose in presenting this measure is promote respect for the law.

The existing conditions tend to bring the statute into contempt and ridicule. The excise law. so long as it remains upon the books, should be To-day a farce." A handful of legislators in session today for less than five minutes contributed another legislative day to the session 1909. The only business transacted was the introduction of bills and the advancement of a few local measures. Senator Grattan presided in the Senate.

St. Louis, February 19--Harry Pulliam, president of the National League of Base- ball clubs, arrived in St. Louts this morning, accompanted by ison, president of the Stanley RobSt. Louis Club. He reached this city without baggage.

That his fellow magnates of the National League had tried to keep him in Chicago WAS confirmed by friends, who came down on the same train. Pulliam refused to discuss the indefinite leave of absence granted him by the league, of which he is president. "I'm here for my health," said Pulliam. "I'm going to Cincinnati this afternoon or to I'm going to resign. I'll stick to the last ditch.

They can fire me, but I won't resign. That's all I've got to say. I'm tired and my nerves are a wreck and, besides, I'm through talking." and Pulliam were met at the Robison train by "Jack" Ryan, a St. Louis man. Although Ryan and Pulliam are old acquaintances, the league president did not appear to recognize the former clerk until they had walked some distance.

Pulliam went to Planters Hotel and rested during the forenoon. He has overexerted himself during the last few days, and shows the effects of the strain. While the records show that Pulliam has been granted an "indefinite leave of absence," it is understood to mean his permanent retirement from the presideucy of the National League. The action is in accordance with his request, to rest for several months, because. of ill health.

The announcement that he was to be granted leave was made after a long and stormy meeting of the magnates, at which Pulliam' was not present. There is no doubt that Pulliam is at outs with the big moguls, and this is borne out by an interview which he gave out in Chicago before leaving. He said in part: "The trouble with the so-called magnates is through the recent growth and popularity of our national game, they have gone money-mad and want to throw sentiment and sport to the winds. They are trying to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. "Their actions are just like those of the grasping millionaires who owned the race tracks.

These men killed American 'the sport of Racing Hourishes in England, France, Germany, Austria and Russia because it is properly conducted on a basis of sportsmanship. You have the whole thing right there in what I have just said. I will not attend any more meetings until those fellows agree to do the rignt thing." The following resolution was passed by the National League: Resolved. That the National League grants the request of President Harry C. Pulliam for an indefinite leave of absence owing to illness and hopes that he will return fully restored to health.

During his absence he will be relieved of all responsibility, and John A. Heydler, his own secretary and treasurer. is appointed acting presiident, which with it representation on the National Commission. John A. Heydler, who has been secretary-treasurer of the league, has been anpointed acting president and will have entire control of the players and umpires, as well as replacing Pulliam on the National Commission.

The collapse of President Pulliam threw a gloom over the closing scenes of the Chicago meeting. The following is a summary of the other business of the league yesterday, the adjournment being made at 7 o'clock: The National Commission unanimously granted to President C. W. Murphy of the Chicago club the right to give his players a bonus of $10,000 for winning the national and world's championships. The National League adopted the following on umpire bribery: Resolved.

That the statement of umpires and all papers in the hands of the special committee investigating the attempt to bribe Umpires Johnston and Klem in the game between New York and Chicago for the championship, including the report that had been formulated, be preferred to the National Commission for such action as they desire. "FORTIES" ARE BUSY AGAIN. They Want Queensboro Bridge Opened Right Away Quick-No Delay Will Be Tolerated. Protest against the delaying of the public opening of the new Queensboro Bridge until June 12 next, were made by members of the Committee of Forty at their one hundred and thirty-second monthly meeting held in their old meeting place in Strack's Casino, Astoria, last night. Jared Barhite presided as chairman pro and during the course of the meeting, Secretary John Andrews read a number of communications from people in the borough, advocating the immediate opening of the bridge to trafe and the general public.

As a result of the protest, Vice President D. S. Sanborn will meet the Commissioner of Bridges shortly and have a conference with him on the subject. By way of further emphasizing the demand for the immediate opening of the structure a committee composed of Peter A. Leininger.

Rudolph Horak, B. W. Loughlin and J. Perrine was named to work for the immediate opening of the bridge. From inquiry made at the headquarters of the bridge celebration committee in 52 Jackson avenue, Long Island City, it was stated that the Committee of Forty seemed to be laboring under a misapprehension.

Just as soon as possible the bridge will be opened for traffic, but the official opening and celebration will not be held until June 12. Long before that time, however, it is proposed, if the work admits, to put the bridge in use. NAVY COAL BARGE FLOATED. Will Be Hauled to Brooklyn Yard if She Can Be Kept Afloat, (Special to the Eagle.) Southold, L. February 19-The United States Navy coal barge No.

169, which was stranded on the sound beach, west of Horton's Point light, on January 27, was hauled off at 10 o'clock this morning, in a badly damaged condition, by two gOVpernment tugs, and will be towed to the Brooklyn Navy Yard if she can be kept afloat. Many attempts have been made to save the barge, but the danger of grounding the tugs on the bar, which the barge had crossed, had prevented until to-day. All day yesterday divers worked 011 her in tWO and a half fathoms of water, where she had been hauled and sunk, experiencing much hardship, for they waded out to her from shore in their diving suits. being guided by signal strings. The sea was too heavy to use boats, and repeatedly the divers were Inocked down before reaching a submerged depth, and were pulled ashore by ropes, only to start again.

The action of the seas had pounded a hole in her bottom. and great quantities of sand had been driven in. JULIUS LEHRENKRAUSS DIED AT THE AGE OF 64 Founder of Banking House and Prominent Man-of-Affairs in Brooklyn. PTOMAINE POISONING FATAL. Cause Unexplained -System Had Been Weakened by Two Attacks of the Grip--His Career.

Julius Lehrenkrauss, treasurer of the Germania Savings Bank, founder of the banking house of Julius 'Lehrenkrauss Sons, and a prominent man of affairs in Brooklyn for years, died at his residence, 371 street, last evening, forty, after a few days' illness. The end came peacefully, Mr. Lehrenkrauss passing away in his sleep, surrounded by the members of his devoted family. Though he had had two attacks of grip last month, Mr. Lehrenkrauss was so well on Saturday that he discussed with his son the plans for al new building that is to be erected by the firm, and on Sunday he enjoyed some music and other little di- Julius Lehrenkrauss.

versions. On Sunday evening he went to bed, complaining of a severe pain. The physicians found he was suffering from ptomaine poisoning. and every effort was made to save his life, without avail. Mr.

Lehrenkrauss was born in Stuttgart, Kingdom of Wurtemburg, Germany, on May 20, 1845, his education in his home city. He was gradnated from a 'commercial college, and his first employment was with a wholesale drug firm of Stuttgart. In 1867, hearing glowing reports of the opportunities in America for young men, he came to New York. His early struggles in the new country were very trying, but he persevered, and finally obtained a position with the firm of Wolfer Kalischer. Later he went into the banking house of Schultze Ruckgaber.

In the early 170's he secured an opening in the Germania Savings Bank of Brooklyn, through a strong recommendation from his former employers, and by strict attention to duty, by his honesty, upright character and good habits, he soon rose steadily from one position to another. In 1878, seeing the need in Brooklyn of a foreign banking. house and steamship ticket office, he established himself in that line. When his sons were old enough, he took them into his office and trained them in his methods, so that the business to-day is one of the largest of its kind in the country. About three years ago Mr.

Lehrenkrauss severed his connection with the firm entirely, and turned the business over to his sons, as he desired to give all of his time and attention to the Germania Savings Bank. For the past fifteen years he had not been actively connected with his firm. but he did not give up his interest in it until three years ago. At the time he started his own business, Mr. Lehrenkrauss resigned his active position in the Germania Savings Bank, but continued as a trustee.

Upon the death of Herman Geiling, the then treasurer of the bank, about seventeen years ago, ex-Mayor Schroeder, then the president of the bank, urged Mr. Lehrenkrauss to again take up the duties of active treasurer, and he complied. He was at his desk hard at work every day until his fatal illness overtook him. Mr. Lehrenkrauss was very active in German social circles in Brooklyn, and was prominent in many charitable movements.

He was a charter member of the Brooklyn Turn Verein, treasurer and director of the German Hospital Society, in which he took a deep interest; a member of Lessing Lodge 608, F. and A. one of the oldest members of the Brooklyn Saengerbund, the Arion Singing Society, and the Suabian Singing Society. He was also a member of the HudsonFulton Centennial Celebration Commission. Mr.

Lehrenkrauss is survived by his widow. Sophie; two sons. Julius, and Herman Charles, and one married daughter. Mrs. John J.

Croger. The funeral services will be held on Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the German Evangelical Church, Schermerhorn and Court streets, and will conducted by the Rev. Dr. The interment will be private, and will be at the convenience of the family. CRESCENT SHOW READY.

Minstrel Performance Expected to Be One of the Social Events cf Season. Everything is ready for the big minstrel show of the Crescent Athletic Club. at the Academy of Music, to-morrow night. For weeks the talent of the club. from a vocal and humorous standpoint, has been drilling and rehearsing, and it is expected that the entertainment will prove one of the best ever given in Brooklyn.

The members had no idea that there was so much talent in the Crescent Club. There are members 3 of the Lambs and the Strollers clubs of Manhattan, the tenor soloist of Christ Church and many other well known singers, besides the University quartet. The mandolin and banjo club of the Crescent Club, recently organized, under the leadership of "Jack" Heatherton, has made such a hit that it has been asked to play for several clubs and associations in Manhattan, So successful is the show to-morrow night expected to be that a Philadelphia club has asked the entire company of aver a hundred to come to Quakertown for an evening, with all expenses paid. All of the talent is of the amateur order, and some of the best know fantille3 in Brooklyn Are included in the makeup. Tickets have been scarce for two weeks and even the Academy is expected to prove 100 small for the show.

The chairman of the committee says that the few tickets that remain will be put on sale at the Academy of Music at noon to-morrow. The outside public has had 00 chance to buy tickets. although many requests have reached the Crescent Club. The performance is to begin promptly at 8 o'clock, SCORES OF ACCUSERS AFTER FRANK FOREMAN Checks for Barber Who Shaved Him and Doctor Who Said He Had the Grip. ALL REPORTED AS NO GOOD.

Young Man Arraigned and Held. Wife in Court, 1 but Only to Complain That He Deserted Her. When Frank Foreman was arraigned this morning before Magistrate Steers, in the Adams street court, Detective Barry of the headquarters squad, who had arrested him, presented for the magistrate's consideration a long list, with a lot of names on it and some sums of money down, aggregating about $100, in amounts varying from $2 to $20. The representation of the policeman was that the list described people who had been fooled by Foreman with worthless checks and the amounts of money that they had recklessly given up. This indication of Mr.

Foreman's pernicious industry caused the magistrate to take a ion second look at the prisoner, and he saw before him a well-dressed man with a most engaging smile. The smile was of the sort calculated to draw dollars from anybody. The plain little charge against Foreman was that he had secured $2 from a cigar dealer by buying cigars with a worthless check and taking the change, and on this the young man was held for trial at the Court of Special Sessions in default of $1,000 bail. Foreman is not only the owner of a fine and ready smile, but of a glib tongue. "He is a fast talker," said Barry, admiringly.

Mrs. Foreman, who wore silks and a lamb jacket, was in court to look her husband over, for she had not seen him in a year and was wondering how he was getting along. Not that she wanted to help him at all. She told the detective that she did not really care what became of the man. She had been left him to shift for herself and she had been earning clothes and food by manicuring.

But she was dazed when she heard that he had been SO industriously collecting other people's, money. "That's how he has been living without working," was her explanation of what had been puzzling her. He used to be a buyer for a merchant in the Gansevoort Market, and he was a mighty good buyer, too. But with a book of blank checks, a ready pen and a smooth tongue, he got along without much effort in another direction. And there seemed to be no game too small for him, according to the detective and the list.

The checks were of the Etna Bank, at Warren and Greenwich streets, Manhattan, and there was an official of the bank in court this morning to swear that Mr. Foreman had no account there, and that he did not know of a Arm named Foreman Page, to whose order most of the checks were drawn. Among the complainants who may appear against the young man--he is only 27 years old- are jewelers, barbers, florists, dry goods dealers, doctors and grocers. One jeweler is wroth at the man because Foreman ordered a set of silverware at his shop and had his initials engraved on the pieces. He paid with a check.

ordered the goods sent to a bogus address, and gathered in about 38 in change in solid cash. Then there was a barber who was angry a bit, too. Mr. Foreman had a shave in his shop, presented a check for $2. paid for his shave with it.

took the change. liberally tipped the operator and left. That check. like the jeweler's, was "no good." A florist has a crow to pluck with Foreman on account of the fact that the nicely spoken young man ordered a piece of flowers costing $20 at the man's shop and told the florist that it was for a birthday celebration at his house. Bogus address given in this instance, check in payment and a small rebate in change of.

real cash. A physician's case was the worst. This amiable young man. according to the story told by the police, went to see the doctor. He was not feeling at all well, he said.

and would not the doctor look him over. The symptoms described were of grip and the doctor. who was. of course. looking for that dismal malady, found and duly prescribed.

One dollar the fee for office consultation. Mr. Foreman wrote out A check, as hei had change-a check for $4-and got three real a dollars from the doctor's pocketbook in exchange for the paper. The doctor has the check vet, for his bank turned it back to him with a polite note as to its general worthlessness. Foreman's father is a highly respectable person and he is a bit disturbed over the young man's arrest.

But he did not appear in his favor this morning. The prisoner had been living at one of the Mills hotels. although he had a pretty good home if he had been nice and had pleased his father. "Rum." said the wife. when she was asked how it all happened.

FOUND A CAVE DWELLER. German Farm Hand Discovered Living in a Hole in the Ground in Newtown Woods. Justice Connelly, in the Flushing police court, this morning sentenced Fritz Wachter, 39 years old, a German farm hand, to sixty days in the county jail. The charge vagrancy. Wachter arrested in the Forest was Hills section of Newtown yesterday by Mounted Police Sergeant Hatton.

The officer was riding along the road, when his horse shied violently and nearly unseated him. Hatton made an examination and found Wachter partly in and partly out of a small cave by the roadside. Wachter was not an attractive looking person--not by any means. It was long since he had had his hair cut or beard trimmed, and he was ragged and dirty. He said that, being unable to secure work.

he had sought refuge in the cave and had been there two weeks. There was nothing in the place but a part of an old mattress and some cornstalks, on which the man had been sleeping. Officer Hatton took him to Newtown and locked him up in the police station, and this morning arraigned him Flushing court. Wachter seemed well satisfied when committed to jail for two months, having had, apparently, all the cave life he wanted. INDEX To Classified Advertisements in Today's Eagle.

Detectives from the office of the district attorney of Queens County nabbed George Kuntzeman at Rahway. N.

J. He was living there under the name of George Kemp, and was given the alternative of accompanying the officers quietly to Queens County to face a charge of abandonment or of being locked up in a New Jersey prison until he could be extradited. Kuntzeman decided to take the former course, and was brought to Long Island City, arraigned before the magistrate and held for examination in the Queens County court on February 24. His bail was fixed at $1,000. This was furnished and Kuntzeman 1s now awaiting his trial.

Mrs. Kuntzeman told an Eagle reporter to-day that her husband left her when their youngest child. a girl, was scarcely seven weeks old. He had joined the Farley strike breakers in Manhattan some time before, and took a prominent part in the protection of non-union labor during the great iron strike at that time. As a special policeman in the employ of Farley, Kuntzeman, his wife said, shot and severely wounded one of the strikers who attacked him on Eighth avenue.

Fearful of the consequences should the man die, Kuntzeman, it is said, fled to New Jersey, where he stayed under cover. During all this time, his wife says, he sent her money regularly each week. After the trouble had blown over Kuntzeman returned 10 his Morris Park home, and after a quarrel with his wife over a trivial matter went away, he said, never to return. Since that time Mrs. Kuntzeman has had to support herself and her five children by doing washing and bing.

Last September. Mrs. Kuntzeman says, she learned that her husband was living at Rahway, N. under the name of Kemp. He was employed as a night watchman in a chemical works at that place.

A friend advised Mrs. Kuntzeman to notify the district attorney's office. Detectives were immediately assigned to the case. They made a careful investigation, and last Tuesday placed Kemp, or Kuntzeman, under arrest. Mrs.

Kuntzeman, who is a slight woman, careworn and haggard, told the Eagle reporter her sad story with in her eyes. "When I go to court dext week to appear against my husband." she said. "I am going to take my five children with me. I ani sure that when the judge hears my story and what I have had to endure because of my husband's action. he will mete out proper punishment for him.

I shall never agree to a reconciliation. I am done with George forever." PLEAD GUILTY TO CRIMES. Sixteen Out of Forty-four to Be Sentenced Next Tuesday.
