REQUIEM MASS FOR MRS. McLAUGHLIN Bishop Mundelein and Other Dignitaries Pay Last Honors to Deceased Marchioness. GREAT CROWD AT FUNERAL. Many of the Late Hugh McLaughlin's Political Friends Present at the Pro-Cathedral. 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 husband, Hugh McLaughlin, long leader of the Democratic forces in Kings County, and was presented to the church only a months before died. The casket containing Mrs. McLaughlin's remains, was completely covered with violets.

At the home, 163 Remsen street, where she died Friday morning, flowers sent by friends of the family were banked up to the parlor ceiling. These were sent, following 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.

In the large crowd that assembled to pay their last respects to the woman who for the past thirty-five years has identified herself with charity work in this borough and on Long Island, were many who had been helped in many ways by her kindness. Also assembled there was the last vestige of the old Brooklyn Democracy, who recalled the days when "Boss" McLaughlin the supreme power here in Democratic politics. Standing near J. Morrissey Gray were Michael F. Kerrigan, Washington Colver, James Kane, Commissioner of Elections: Dr.

J. A. Kene, Coroner of Kings County in Mr. McLaughlin's time; Thomas Shevlin and Michael Ryan. In another group were John Mallon, John F.

Frost, Michael F. MeGoldrick, John B. Byrne, Chief Clerk of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court: John H. McKeon, M. F.

Marlborough, Christopher J. Gelson, W. F. Muldoon, Charles C. Wise, Edward J.

Byrne, Joseph Kerrigan, Chief Clerk of the Court of Special Sessions; Supreme Court Justice Luke D. Stapleton, Bartley Flanagan, Superintendent of Buildings Patrick J. Carlin and former Superintendent of Buildings Peter J. Collins. Twenty-five Sisters of St.

Joseph Recite the Rosary. Shortly before the family viewed the remains for the last time, twenty-five Sisters of St. Joseph grouped themselves around the casket, in the parlor, and recited the Rosary. 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. Brigid, and an old-time friend of the family, who gathered the relatives in the house and recited prayers for the dead. 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. Twenty-five pews in the church were filled with the little children from the Immaculate Day Nursery. There must have been 150 of them and they came from the two branches, the Italian and the American of the institution, 10 which the deceased was a very generous contributor. There were, besides.

representatives from every order of nuns in the city, delegates from the Ladies Aid Association of St. Mary's Hospital, St. Anthony's Hospital, St. Peter's Hospital, the tle Sisters of the Poor, in South Brooklyn; Christian and Franciscan Brothers from the various parochial schools of the borough, and from orphan asylums here and on Long on Island. The pontifical mass of requiem for Mrs.

McLaughlin was marked with the ceremonies befitting a marchioness of the Roman Catholic Church. The sanctuary was filled with dignitaries of the church in this borough, and the celebrant of the mass was the Right Rev. George W. Mundelein, auxiliary bishop of the diocese. The assistant priest to the bishop was the Rev.

Peter Donohue, rector of the Church of Good Counsel. The master of ceremonies waS the Very Rev. Mgr. Francis J. O'Hara, rector of the Pro-Cathedral.

The Rev. John C. York, rector of St. Brigid's Church, was deacon, and the Rev. Sylvester Tobin of the Church of St.

Charles Borromeo, subdeacon. Within the altar rail were the Right Rev. Mgr. Joseph McNamee, vicar general of the diocese; the Right Rev. Mgr.

McCarty, the Right Rev. Mgr. Thomas Taaffe, the Right Rev. James S. Duffy, the Rev.

John C. Fitzgerald, James E. Bobier, the Rev. Malloy, secretary to Bishop Mundelein: the Rev. Anthony Burke, the Rev.

John Lund, the Rev. John Brennan, the Rev. John Gorman, the Rev. Lyle, the Rev. Matthew Qualey, Fathers O'Hara, Donnelly and Murphy.

Bishop Mundelein Delivers Eulogy of Deceased. The eulogy was delivered by Bishop Mundelein, who referred to the simple and pious life of the deceased. "All of her life has been marked with acts of kindness and charity, and she was most happy when she made others said the Bishop, after having mentioned a number of the institutions which had been her special care. "Ever since she came to Brooklyn she had been identified with its hospitals and orphan asylums. Little children were her particular care, and when the late Pontiff, Pope Pius X.

conferred a signal distinction her by giving her the title of Marchioness of the Papal Nobility, he did it in recognition of her work for the Church." The interment was in Holy Cross Cemetery. E. F. LEONARD DIES. E.

BECKER WITNESS GETS 20 YEARS Jacob Luban Declares That He Is the Victim of a "Frame Up." WAS CONVICTED OF FORGERY. Berttini Is Given From Ten to Twenty Years in Sing Sing for the Bossi 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, to a flat term of twenty years in Sing Sing on a charge of forgery in the second degree as a second offense. Luban was convicted several weeks ago of passing a forged check for $100 at the Twenty-sixth Ward Branch of the Mechanics Bank in May, 1912.

The check was drawn on East River National Bank against account of thee Mitlitzky 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 Faweett. 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 your conviction. I notice you did not to make any such explanation to the jury of twelve men who tried your case; you did not take the 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 transaction with a lad named Kaufman. Luban denied both charges 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.

"You are simply unmoral, you don't 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 a 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 York District Attorney's office, he said, when he gave his pedigree. He is 35 years old and lives at 260 Grattan street.

Assistant District Attorney Alfred Voss prosecuted the case, and in a few weeks will also present a similar case against Morris Luban, Jacob's brother. Luban was defended by Algernon I. Nova and put in no defense at his trial. William Bertlini, 26 years old, of 235 Mulberry street, Manhattan, was sentenced to from ten to twenty years in Sing Sing by Judge Dike for his participation in the robbery of Clementina Bossi on January at her home. 121 Tenth street, when Bertlini and two companions bound, gagged and drugged Mrs.

Bossi and her year-old son and stole $9,700 in cash and $470 in jewelry. Judge Hylan sentenced James Dalton, 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 charge of possessing burglar's tools as a second offense. Charles Buyakowski, the prize-fighter known as "Young Battling was sent' to Elmira by Judge Hylan on a charge of attempting a serious crime. Sentences by Judge Hylan: Evan Protheral.

EXPLAIN NEUTRAL APPEAL Newspaper Ass'n Heads Calls Peace Effort. Louis N. Hammerling, president of the American Association of Foreign Newspapers, who is responsible for the insertion of a page advertisement calling upon the American people to stop sending arms to the war zone in Europe, 'in various newspapers today, explained the "ad" as an appeal, pure and simple. to the patriotism of Americans. is nothing else in it." he said.

"No foreign power had a thing to do with it. The money was contributed by members of the association, but I guaranteed it and am, myself. ready to pay for every cent of the advertisement in every newspaper it appears in. "My interest in the thing is this: I as an American, want to see this war stopped, and stopped quickly. have asked the foreign churches to preach this from the pulpit and that is what they are doing.

I simply feel that war can be stopped if the United States discontinues its policy of feeding the various armies with ammunition. "It is absolutely American with me. I was born in Austria, that is true, but the town I lived in has been completely wiped out. I have no relatives in the war. I do not care about the Fatherland now; I care about America.

"If there is a suspicion that a. foreign power instigated this advertisement let me tell you, Arst, that there are no German papers in this association and that we do not allow English or American papers. Among the signers of the advertisement are six French papers, 113 Italian, sixty-five Russian. three one Japanese and thirty-four Swedish papers. The association, of which I am president, is neutral in every sense of the word." LEWIS TAKES BENCH; LAUDED BY FRIENDS 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 front of the courtroom banked flowers, Harry E. entiro, 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 wellknown 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 V. which is housed in the old Part 1I 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 McCluskey, one of the record clerks, was made acting clerk of the new court, and 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 Aspinall will come to the district attorney's assistance and convene the criminal branch of the Supreme Court. Judge 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 comes in every way prepared, with the vigor of young manhood, with a splendid legal training, 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 I am sure he is eager to take hold. I wish him the greatest good luck and good fortune." For the Brooklyn Bar Association, Albert. the Tameling active said: members of the Bar here in Brooklyn, have known you long: and that lei 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.

Riordan, in relation to his actions anent the Sixth avenue elevated railroad accident.

in Manhattan, last December, was begun ber of City Hall, with Lloyd P. today in Board of Estimate Chamthe Stryker as a Commissioner, having been designated SO by Governor Whitman. The Interborough Railroad Company officials preferred charges of usurpation of power, lack of judgment and general incompetency, in attempting to ascertain the culpability for the accident which cost two lives. James L. Quackenbush, 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 the Interborough road.

Defending the coroner was Henry A. Wise, former United States District Attorney; Morgan J. O' Brien and Edward P. Hatch are affiliated with Mr. Quackenbush in presenting the case.

The hearing was adjourned until the afternoon, on the application of counsel to confer. NAVY YARD CUTS FORCE. Lack of Funds Causes Dismissal of Fifty Men.

DAMAGE MAY REACH $20,000.

J. A. Blanchard Company, steel-Drake Baking Company and R. Gascone Quarters Swept by Flames. Three fires that broke out in the Wallabout section during yesterday and this morning kept the Fire Department busy and caused between $15,000 and $20,000 damage to local concerns.

The third and fourth floors of the premises of the four-story brick building at. 95 and 97 Steuben street, occupied by the James A. 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 firemen, and three alarms were sounded. The employees were working in the building when the fire 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. The Steel- Drake Baking Company, which occupies the Wallabout Market brick dwellings on Washington avenue, near the creek, numbered 42 and 45 Wallabout Market, suffered a loss estimated at $5,000, by a fire that began on the first floor, in the shipping room and offices, shortly after 5 o'clock this morning. Christopher Hogel of 57 Heyward discovered street, the night watchman, the flames and called the Fire Department. Two alarms were sounded, and a fireboat moored in the creek helped to extinguish the blaze.

The loss is estimated at more than $5,000. The part of the buildings containing most of the ovens and baking machinery was not damaged, and the company will be able to continue its business with no appreciable delay. Patrolman J. H. Schoendorf of the Flushing avenue station was passing the one-story brick building occupied by R.

Gascone, wholesale grocer, at 152 to 154 Flushing avenue, shortly after 11 o'clock last night, when he saw flames in the rear of the store.

MAY BE BLACK HAND VICTIM.

Body Found in South Brooklyn Factory Yard Offers Big Mystery. Bearing all the earmarks of a. der, 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 Second and Third avenues, about twentyfive feet from the sidewalk, buried in a pit about three feet deep. Dr. Salzberg 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 8:25 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 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 the yard. 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 several 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 yard in which it was found. The outer and clothing undercoat, consisted blue of a black trousers, overcoat 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 tioned, showed that this The supposition body was somewhat incorrect. 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 committed 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 file in its earlier days, but had been sharpened down to a stilletto-like weapon. an eighth of so inch and covThe point of this was bent core about exed with: Blood. The news that a murder had been committed spread rapidly through the neighborhood, and Captain John Barnes called for the reserves to keep back the crowd.

When the detectives were about to leave the place the wife of the murdered man rushed 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 man had been killed by members of a blackhand 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. it shall distinctly state, that fact: also that it is made without any connection with any other person making an estimate for the same purpose, and 1g in all respects fair and without collusion or fraud, and that no member of the Board of Aldermen, head of a department, chief of a bureau, deputy thereof or clerk therein, or other officer of The City of New York, sball be or become interested directly or indirectly, Ag contracting party, partner, stockholder, surety or otherwise in or in the performance of the contract or in the supplies, work or business to which it relates, or in any portion of the profits The bid or estimate must be verifled by the oath, in writing. of the party or parties making the estimate that the several matters stated are in all respects true.
