GREAT CROWD AT 1TM0RAL. Many or lic Late Hugh McLaughlin's 1'olitical Friends Present at the 1'ro-t'ntlicdral. Before the beautiful marble altar In St. James Pro-Cathedral, on Jay street, the body of Mrs. Sarah Ellen McLaughlin lay this morning when a solemn Pontifical mass of requiem was celebrated for the repose of her soul The altar was the gift of her husliand Hugh McLaughlin, long leader of the Democratic forces in Kings County, and was presented to the church only a few months before he died.

The casket containing Mrs. McLaughlin's remains, was completely covered with violets. At the home, 163 Uemsen street, where she died Friday morning, flowers sent by friends of the family were banked up to the parlor ceiling. These were sent, following the funeral to St. Mary's and St.

Anthony's Hospitals. Long before the casket was borne from the home to the hearse, Remsen street was lined with people, from Court to Clinton street.

All day yesterday and up to the funeral time this morning there was a constant stream of visitors to the Remsen street residence. Among the callers last evening was the Rev. John C. York, rector of the Church of St.

Several old colored women, who remembered the kindness they had received from Boss McLaughlin many years ago, came to pay their respects early this morning. It was nearly 11 o'clock before the funeral arrived at the church. But long before this time the edifice was crowded to the doors. The only seats unoccupied at this time were those reserved for the immediate family.

Shot Friday. J'cter Keenan of 67 Java street, who was shot last Friday night by Ernest Basner of 527 Humboldt street, died this morning in St. Catherine's Hospi tal. With him were his wife and a 3-( months-old baby. His assailant was held on a charge of homicide, preferred by Sergeant Kaiser ot the Greenpoint avenue station, who arrested hlin half an hour ufter ho shot Keenan.

Keenan. with a few friends, had stopped in a saloon at 145 Franklin street on Good Friday night and were Btanding at the bar when Basner. apparently under the infiuece of liquor or some drug, entered. He demanded the price of a drink from one of the men. Keenan remonstrated, and without, further talk, Basner drew a .32 caliber revolved and fired five shots at him.

One bullet lodged in his abdomen, another under his heart, a third in his left thigh, and the others went wild. coroner Wagner secured an ante- mortem statement from Keenan and ordered an inquest.

Blanchard Company, chemical manufacturers, were burned out by a blaze that was one of the smokiest recorded in the locality. The fear that chemicals of an explosive nature were stored on the first floor caused uneasiness among the fire men, and three alarms were sounded. Tho employees were working in the building when the Are started. David Call of 782 Putnam avenue, who was on the first floor, noticed sparks falling down the elevator shaft, and turned in the alarm. The damage was estimated at $10,000.

BECKER WITNESS GETS 20 YEARS Jacob Luban Declares That He Is the Victim of a "Frame Up." WAS CONVICTED OF FORGERY.

Hcrttini ts Given I'roin Ten to Twenty Years in Sing Sins for the Bossl Robbery. Judge Dike today sentenced Jacob Luban, who. with his brother Morris, was one of the many under-world characters who figured in the Becker case' t0 a fl' term of twenty years Sing Sing on a charge of forgery in the second degree as a second offense. Luban was rainvinlDil aoi-nral weeks ago of fAr iton at the Twenty-sixth Ward Branch of ilm MAi'iiini. p.t i it.

1311 Tho check was drawn on the East River National Bank against the account of Brothers. Frank Bernstein, who was implicated in the case with Luban. was convicted and sentenced to two years ten months in Sing Sing by Judge Fawcctt. When Luban was arraigned today he declared that he was the victim of one of the worst "frame-ups" ever perpetrated in New York City and he declared time would show the truth of his statement. "Your desire to square yourself with the public and assert your innocence is a second thought," Judge Dike answered.

"You probably have had a number of such second thoughts as to reformation since yojr conviction. I notice you did not -ry to make any such explanation to the jury of twelve men who tried your case; you did not take tho witness stand." Judge Dike then asked Luban whether he had not served two years in a St. Louis jail and whether he was not involved in another fraudulent check transaction with a lad named Kaufman. Luban denied both charges and said he had never heard the name "Kaufman" before in his life. "I do not think you are responsible for what you say." Judge Dike said.

1 ou are simply unmoral, you don know right from wrong. You come to me with a long statement that you had rendered valuable service to the District Attorney of Manhattan In a noted case, and when I read in the public prints as to just what those services were I realized the force of the old saying that 'it takes a thief to catch thief. Luban protested that he had been confused with his brother, Morris, but Judge Dike passed over his protest and imposed the twenty-year sentence. Luban is a special investigator in the New ork District Attorney office, said, when he gave his pedigree. He is 35 years old and lives at 260 Grat-tan street.

Assistant District Attorney Alfred Voss prosecuted the case, and a few weeks will also present a similar case against Morris Luban, Jacob's brother. Luban was defended Algernon 1. Nova and put in no defense at his trial. William Bertlini, 26 years old, of Mulberry street, Manhattan, was sentenced to from ten to twenty years Sing Sing by Judge Dike for his participation in the robbery of Clementina Bossi on January 28, at her home, 121 Tenth street, when Bertlini and two companions bound, gagged and drugged Bossl and her 6-year-old son and stole $9,700 in cash and $470 in jewelry. Judge Hylan sentenced James Dal-ton, who was captured by a priest while he was attempting to rob the poor boxes in St.

Paul's Church, to ten years In Sing Sing, on a churge of possessing burglar's tools as a second offense. Charles Buyakowskl, the prize-fighter known as "Young Battling Nelson," was sent to Elmlra by Judge Hylan on a charge of attempting a serious crime. Sentences by Hylan: Evan Prothe-ral. recelvinc stolen pnod. or flvn days; John Sylvia.

Ilaiumcrling. president of American Association of Foreign Nowspa pers, who is rer-ponsihle for insertion of page advertisement calling upon the American people to stop sending arms to tho war zone in Europe, in various newspapers today, explained the "ad" as an appeal, pure and simple, to the patriotism America.ns. "There is nothing else in it," he said. "Nn foreign power had a thing to do with it. The money was contributed by members of the association, hut 1 guaranteed it and am, myself, ready to pay for every cent of the advertisement in every newspaper it appears in.

"My interest in tho thing is this: I as an American, want to see this war stopped, and stopped quickly. I have asked the foreign churches to preach this from the pulpit and that is wha.t they are doing. I simply feel that war can he stopped if the United States discontinues its policy of feeding the various armies with ammunition.

Hotly Found in South Brooklyn Factory Yard Offers Big Mystery. Bearing all the earmarks of a murder, the body of Giuseppi Pirroni, apparently about 35 years of age. of 527 Carroll street, was found in the yard of Marvin Briggs at 167 Sixth street, which is located between Sec ond and Third avenues, about twenty-five feet from the sidewalk, buried in a pit about three feet deep. Dr. Salzherg of Holy Family Hospital in his diagnosis is alleged to have said that the man died from bullet wounds, while the detectives who are working upon the case say that death was caused by stab wounds.

The body was found by Fred Cooke of 378 Sixth street, employed as superintendent by Marvin Briggs at about 8:23 today. He notified Patrolman William H. Forker, who in turn sent for Dr. Salzberg. The latter said that the man had apparently been dead about an hour.

While there was some question as to how the body had been brought to the yard, a watchman said that he heard no commotion this mornig, had heard no shots fired and saw nothing of the body being placed in ths ya rd. The man to all intents and purposes had been killed while devoid of his outer clothing, none of which had been cut by a knife or other instrument. The underclothing', however, was cut in Keveral places. The injuries received by the man were a laceration in the right hand, stab wounds under the right eye, between the ribs on the left side, right and left thigh, and a blackened right eye. After having received the wounds, it is thought, the body was dressed and then removed to the ynrd in which it was found.

The outer clothing consisted of a black overcoat and undercoat, blue trousers, black sox and black button shoes. It was not for some time after the body had been found that the man was identified, and the detectives at first supposed that he was employed as a driver of a refuse cart, a number of such employees residing in the neighborhood. Inquiry, however, among other drivers who were questioned, showed that this supposition was somewhat incorrect. The body was later Identified by Silvio Allocco, employed as a teller in the Bank of Sessa. at 467 Carroll street, where the murdered man had been in the habit of receiving his mail, and a letter was found on the man confirming the identification.

This letter, it was found, had been sent to the murdered man by a brother in Detroit. A knife with which the murder was supposed to have been committted was found early today by Frank Little of 455 Sackett street, who kicked It while on his way to work. This instrument had apparently been used as a ni In its earlier days, but had been sharp ened down to Htlllello-likc weapon.

When the detectives were about to leave the place the wifo of the murdered man runhe1 up and created a scene. Before anything could be gotten from her the detectives rushed her off. apparently to her home. The opinion was that the maji had been killed by members of a black-hand society, and something along this line to encourage this belief was said to have been contained In the letter the murdered man received from his brother in Detroit. shall dl'tinctly state that fact; also that It made without any connection with any other person making an estimate for the same purpose, and is in all respects fair and without colliiRion or fraud, and that no member of the.

Address New County Judge Tries First Case in Part VII of Supreme Court. FLOWERS BANKED IN CHAMBER. Induction Made by Judge Dike Before Members of Brooklyn Bar. With the entire front of the courtroom banked with flowers, Harry 12. Lewis began his career as a county Judge at 10:15 o'clock this morning in the room usually occupied by Part VII of the Supreme Court! District Attorney Cropsey, most of the wen-known lawyers of Brooklyn, many of Judge Lewis' friends and several defendants and their witnesses and jurymen were present when Judge Dike escorted his newest colleague to the bench and formally inducted him into office.

The new judge said he would conduct court all through the summer. After the ceremonies, Judge Lewis presided over Part II of the County Court, Judge Dike going to Part which is housed in the old Part room, and made good his promise of last week to devote that part to civil work, In conformity- with the statements made to Governor Whitman. The new judge proceeded to dispose of a criminal calendar, the first case being that of Joseph Kudlo, indicted for seduction. Assistant District Attorney Herbert N. Warbasse prosecuted.

No additional appointments have been made as yet. George Mc-Cluskey, one of the record clerks, was acting clerk of the new court, Probably will be promoted to that position. Judge Fawcett, who is in Havana, is not expected back until near the end of the week. He is assigned to Part IV, devoted exclusvely to civil cases, and until his return District Attorney Cropsey will make no move toward getting four parts of court for criminal cases. If Judge Dike continues with civil work then, it is considered likely that Justice Joseph As-plnail will come to the district attorney's assistance and convene the criminal branch of the Supreme Court.

Judg-e Dike Presents Judge Lewis. Judge Dike, in presenting Judge Lewis to the members of the Bar, said: "I think the Governor could not, perhaps, have chosen one better known personally to all of you than the recipient of his nomination, and the designation of this judge again has brought to notice the fact that this County Court is a great and a growing and a very important one. "Judge Lewis coines in every way prepared, with the vigor of young manhood, with a splendid legal train ing, equipped In every way to step into the arena of this great court, and take up his duties to the satisfaction, not only of the Bar, but of this great constituency of which he is so proud. With this. I turn the new judge over to the Bar, and to his new duties, of which 1 am sure he is eager to take hold.

I wish him the greatest good luck and good fortune." For the Brooklyn Bar Association, Albert Tamehng said: "We, the active members of the Bar here in Brooklyn, have known you long: and that acquaintance has come through the medium of your professional duties as a lawyer. We have come to recognize in you the possession of the four qualities so very essential to a justice ability, industry, courtesy and modesty. Because of your work, and happy that you have received this appointment, they wish me to express to you their very best wishes for a highly successful career on the bench." District Attorney Cropsey said: "Individually, officially as prosecuting officer, as an attorney of this court and as a friend of the new judge, I want to say that my official and individual efforts will all be to aid you in every way possible to make the performance of your duties the easier. If we can be of any aid to you 1 hope you will call on us. I am sure the whole city is to be congratulated upon your accession to the Bench." Judge Lewis responded: "Judge Dike, Mr.

District Attorney, Members of the Bar It Is very gratifying upon the assumption of my new judicial duties to have the good will of so many of the members of the Bar. I wiil do my utmost to merit all that has been said. It will be my duty from now on to aid In the administration of justice. My assignments, through the courtesy of my associates, have been made. I will hold court during tho entire summer to come.

I will appreciate at all times suggestions from the Bar and from the public looking toward the speedy administration of justice, so that at all times in this County Court, presided over by my associates and myself, there shall be justice without unnecesary delay." BEGIN RIORDAN INQUIRY Interborough's Charges Against Coroner Given Hearing. Investigation into the conduct of Coroner Patrick D. Blordan, In re lation to his actions a.nent the Sixth avenue elevated railroad accident, in Manhattan, last December, was begun today in the Board of Estimate Chamber of the City Hall, with Lloyd P. Stryker as a Commissioner, having been designated so by Governor Whitman. The Intrrborough Railroad Company officials preferred charges of usurpation of power, lack judgment and general incompetency, in attempting to ascertain the culpability for the accident which cost two lives.

James L. Qitackenbush. counsel for the Interborough. said Coroner Riordan had exculpated those really responsible for the mishap, and had overridden all powers In ordering a Coroner's Jury to bring in a verdict against the officials of tho Interborough road. Defending the coroner was Henry Wise, former United States District Attorney; Morgan J.

O'Brien and Edward P. Hatch are affiliated with Mr. Quackenbush in presenting tho case. The hearing was adjourned until the afternoon, on the application of counsel to confer. NAV YARD CITS FORCE.
