W. Brown of Brooklyn Raises a Hornet's Nest. ILLEGAL DECLARES COMMANDER Twenty-two Garrisons to Be Represented at Meeting of Protest Tomorrow. According to Department Commander Charles W. Brown of the Army and Navy Union, which is composed of men who have an honorable a discharge from the service of the United States, the union will be disrupted for the third time in its history through the order issued by National Commander H.

Oden Lake, from headquarters in Washington, D. expelling Comrade Brown from tho order. A mass meeting to protest against the action of the national commander will be held tomorrow afternoon and representatives will be present from the twenty-two garrisons composing the Department of New York, which also includes New Jersey. Department Commander Brown said today that he had the indorsement of all the garrisons in the department and that the withdrawal of the Department of New York from the order would result in the bankruptcy of the national organization. In a letter to The Eagle, signed by Joseph W.

Acker, department paymaster; William M. Chapman, 8 and Captain Charles H. Baxter, personal aids to the department commander; Charles Lichtenstein, department deputy; V. Neilsen, commander of Garrison No. 138, and James M.

Brown, department deputy, officially indorsed by Department Commander Brown, the latter states: "I have not been expelled nor have charges been filed against me. I am not connected in any way with the publication called the Service, nor did I ever publish a private matter of Army and Navy Union. As far as the Department of New York of the Army and Navy Union is concerned it is still intact. "It is true that the national commander attempted to dirupt the order in New York, but the department has begun legal action against him under the direction of Morris Simmons, counsellor at law, and past national commander of the United Spanish War Veterans." The clause under which National Commander Lake bases his action against Department Commandor Brown is as follows: Par. 2 (of the Constitution): "National or department officers who issue orders, circulars or letters of instruction of any kind without authority from the national commander will be subject to expulsion from the Union, and garrisons or naval branches acting under such authorized instructions shall forfeit their charters." Department Commander Brown said today that the order expelling him was illegal and unconstitutional, and that the inspector general should have had notice of it.

Alfred D. Binder, inspector general, has told Comrade Brown that he had received no official notice, and Department Commander Brown insists that he has the right to ignore the order because it does not bear the official seal of the order, which it must nave in accordance with the laws. He also says that he has not been cited on1 any charges and that the charges as stated in the national commander's orders are absolutely false. Commander Brown also states that he and Commander Lake were friendly and on the best of terms until he was indorsed at the convention in Jersey City in October last for the office of national commander, sinc which time Lake has been doing his best to annoy him and has said that he will put him "out of business as a comrade." Comrade Brown says according to the laws he should have been cited before a trial committee before the order was issued, he has no intention of paying any attention to it, and the garrisons of the Department of New York will absolutely disregard it. Aid-de-camp Chapman said today that he had left "without a flag and denied his rights as a comrade by the arbitrary action of Lake in susyending Fred D.

Grant Garrison, and the national commander had explained his neglect in bringing the matter to trial by saying that the national organization had no funds. He also indorsed what the department commander said by declaring that Lake had no right to issue such an order and try to disgrace the department commander before his comrades, for it was not within his power to order a court martial without first submitting charges. ARREST BUSINESS AGENT Extortion Charge Grows Out of Trouble in Plumbers Union. The trouble between the United Agsociation of Plumbers and Gasfitters and Local Union No. 1, of this borough was shifted to the Adams street court this morning when Arthur J.

Dunn of 260 Warren street, the business agent of the local union, was arraigned before Magistrate Walsh as a fugitive from justice in Philadelphia, on an indictment charging him with the attempted extortion of $2,500. Dunn was arrested at midnight by Detective Pucciano, in a shop in the neighborhood of Myrtle avenue and Adams street, and on a telegram from Robert D. Cameron of the Philadelphia Detective Bureau, asking for his capture as a fugitive. The Eagle yesterday told of the trouble between the general acssociation and the local union. Justice Manning of the Supreme Court has under advisement an application for an injunction to prevent the national offleers from suspending the Brooklyn local.

Dunn, through his counsel, William R. McGuire waived the reading of the complaint against him and consented to be held in bail for thirty days, pending the arrival of extradition papers from Philadelphia. In the meanwhile an effort will be made to have the Supreme Court accept bail for him. "I am willing to go to Philadelphia to face this said Dunn to a these people time ago that I was reporter af Thine Eagle today. "I told willing at any time to go to Philadelphia to stand trial on any criminal charge, for there is no criminal charge that can be made against me that will hold in a court of law." SINGLE AUSTRIAN SHELL KILLS MANY RUSSIANS Berlin, January 23 (by wireless to London)-It is officially announced here that the Russian railway station near Chenoiny (about ten miles southwest of the Kielce, Austrians southern which destroyed a single heavy shell, was filled with Rusgian at the time, all of whom were killed, TO REFORM DELAY LAW'S Judge M.

J. O'Brien Reads Paper to State Bar Association. Buffalo, N. January 23-A report of the committee to prevent unnecessary litigation, a paper by Morgan J. O'Brien of New York on "The Making of Constitutions," and the election of officers, were the principal features of the closing day of the thirty-eighth annual meeting of the New York State Bar Association here today.

Mr. O'Brien reviewed the history of past constitutions from the Magna to the present State Constitution adopted, in of 1894, constitutional and outlined amendments what in an expanding civilization demanded. These proposals, he stated, reform in the matter of the law's delay, reform in the procedure and administration of the courts, the creation of a new criminal court of peals, the future of the Surrogates' Courts and the effort to unify the judicial system throughout the State. ONCE CITIZEN; NOW WITHOUT A COUNTRY Was Naturalized, Lost Citizen Papers; Applies Again-No -He Is Refused. The processes of naturalization have evolved a man without a country.

The situation was brought to the atSupreme Court Justice RusBenedict, who has been presiding for the past two weeks over the naturalization work of the Supreme Court. Brooklyn's "man without a country" was one of the 1,517 applicants who appeared before Justice Benedict to el be made citizens of this country. He explained to the court that he had been naturalized once before in 1892, but had lost his citizenship papers. Recently when it became necessary for him to prove he was a citizen, not having his papers, he tried to find a record of his admission to citizenship, but was unable to do so. The remedy that was suggested to him in his dilemma was to appear before the Supreme Court and be re-admitted to citizenship.

But when Justice Benedict, as the law requires, asked him to renounce his allegiance to the land of which he is now a citizen, the man suddenly found he was without a land or a flag. He had once renounced his allegiance to his native land, but he is not a citizen of the land from which he renounced his allegiance. And so until he can find some county that will accept him temporarily as a citizen or until some record of his previous admission to citizenship here is found, the man will be without a country. This was the most interesting of the 1,517 cases that Justice Benedict passed upon. During the past two weeks 686 citizens have been made, all of whom showed history a and satisfactory form of government knowledge of the nation.

supplied 322 of the citizens; ustHaston, Great Britain, 86; Italy, 70; Germany, 59; Norway, 22; Sweden, 12; Roumania, 10; Greece, Porto Rico and Netherlands, 2 each; Belgium, Spain and Turkey, 1 each. DEATHS DELAYCELEBRATION First German Baptist of Williamsburg 60 Years Old. The First German Baptist Church of Williamsburg was sixty years old on January 10. As the anniversary fell on Sunday and as several of the old members of the church were at the point of death, only quiet celebration was held. Two of these members, Franz Wilhelm Kreuger and John Gerhardt Koch, the latter an evangelist, connected with the church, who often occupied its pulpit, have recently died.

For this reason the public celebration arranged for this month has been postponed until the early spring. The present pastor of the church, the Rev. Dr. J. C.

Grimmell, for thirty years in charge, is the son of the man who first conducted missionary work in old Williamsburg that led to the present church--the Rev. Jeremiah Grimmell There Marburg, Germany, who came in 1851 and, after starting the church movement among the German Baptists here, went to Wilmington, where he founded a German Baptist Church, and he died there in 1871. The present church has a fine edifice on Montrose avenue, near Union, and a flourishing mission house on St. Nicholas avenue. It is entirely free of debt, has a large Sunday school, a Young People's Society, Women's Aid Society, Young Men's Society, a Sunbeam Circle and an ably directed choir.

KILLS WIFE'S FATHER, WOUNDS BROTHER L. I. City Italian Quarreled With Family Over Wife's Support. BROTHER-IN-LAW IS DYING. Daughter, Ill in Italy, Wrote Home That Husband Would Send Her No Money.

(Special to The Eagle.) Long Island City, January 23-One man is dead and his son is dying, with little hope of life, in St. John's Hospital here, as a result of being shot at 7 o'clock this morning by the dead man's son-in-law, following several quarrels concerning the assailant's wife. The dead man is Sgbalt Papaccio, a peddler, 42 years old, of 402 1 Freeman avenue, this city, and the man in the hospital is his son, Glusseppe, 16 years old, who helped him in peddling his wares. The father a and son were loading their wares upon their wagon this morning, getting ready to sell them, when they were shot down without warning in front of their home, by the father's sonin-law, Raffaelo Esposito, 24 years old, who lives in the next house, No. 400.

The father was shot twice in the head and once under the heart, and died immediately after. His son has a bullet wound in the right side and one in the head, both of which are serious enough to warrant little hope for his recovery. The son-in-law escaped soon after the shooting, and has not yet been caught. The cause of the shooting turned out to be a question over the support of Papaccio's daughter, the wife of Esposito. She is now in Italy and has written several letters home, both to her husband and her father, asking for money.

She wrote that she was sick and wanted to return home. Her husband refused to send her money. She wrote and told her father. As a result Papaccio went several times to Esposito and rebuked him. Quarrels resulted.

Yesterday Papaccio recelved another letter from his daughter asking for money to return home, and complaining that her husband would do nothing for her. Papaccio went last night to Esposito and quarreled with him for some time concerning the matter. The result was the shooting this morning. SPERRY POSTPONES TRIALS Weather Causes Delay--Flight Yesterday Severe Test. Further trials of the gyroscopic stabilizer planned for today the Brooklyn Navy Yard by Lawerence Sperry were again postponed by the weather.

Mr. Sperry said today that the tests of the stabilizer in the Curtiss flying boat would probably be resumed early next week. An especially severe test of the gyroscopic device WAS made yesterday afternoon by Mr. Sperry, and the 21- mile flight which he made over bridges, harbor and some of the tall buildings of lower Manhattan afforded a unique opportunity to the publicity committee that is turning the white light on the Stevens Tech Fund, when Thomas C. Stephens, secretary of the campaign committee, stated that Elmer A.

Sperry had contributed $500 to the fund, and that latter had dropped the money on the roof of the Hudson Terminal Building as he passed over it. "Well, I might have dropped it, you know." said Lawrence Sperry. "It wouldn't be right to spoil a good story like that. Anyway, I flew over the Hudson Terminal yesterday, and my father, who is now out of town, signed a $500 pledge to the Stevens Fund at about the same time." Young Mr. Sperry flew all alone yesterday afternoon.

His Alight had not been previously announced, and had not been contemplated until the COinventor of the gyroscopic stabilizer decided that the fluky northwest winds, combined with erratic veerings occasioned by Manhattan's tall buildings, made conditions for a really hard test. After he had traveled at the rate of nearly a mile a minute in trying fluky gusts, Mr. Sperry said the equilibrium of the flying boat had hardly been affected. 0. CENTRALIZING PLAN.

Borough Park Board Favors Welding of Building Departments. The Borough Park Board of Trade at meeting held last night at For-fourth street and New Utrecht avenue, indorsed the plan for the centralization of the city building departments under one head. The board also decided to have a delegation present at the Mayor's hearing next Mondaay on the transfer of Fort Hamilton Parkway from the Park Department to the Bureau of Highways. The report of the committee appointed to investigate the danger element presented by the West End elevated train service along New Utrecht avenue stated that the committee had seen the B. R.

T. officials regarding the situation and that the latter promised to close all gates along the right of way. NARROW ESCAPE IN SUBWAY. Arnold Reidell of Evergreen Avenue Hurt at Fourteenth Street. Arnold Reidell, 69 years old, a porter, of 722 Evergreen avenue, was hurt at the Fourteenth street subway station, Manhattan, last night, when attempting to board a southbound express train and by some accident falling between a car and the platform.

He was extricated from his position and carried Into the waiting room. After being treated for lacerations he left for his home. AUXILIARY OFFICERS CHOSEN.

S. PROBE McCall to Follow Him-Williams of Brooklyn Third on Stand. JUDGE HYLAN TO TESTIFY. Brooklyn Civic Bodies Officers Will Tell of Commission's Inactivities in Regard to Complaints. Commissioner J.

Sergeant Cram is slated as witness No. 1, to be grilled Legislative Investigating Committee that will take up its work of proving the First District Public Service Commission next Wednesday. According to the present tentative plans of the inquisitors, it is altogether likely that he will be the first witness questioned, and he will probably be called Wednesday morning. After him the interrogations of the Governor's legal advisor, William Hayward, who is to act as counsel for the probe committee, will be directed at Chairman Edward E. McCall and next Commissioner George V.

S. Williams, the only Brooklyn member. At least this is the tentative outline determined upon at a conference in the Biltmore Hotel, Manhattan, last night among the members of the committee, including the chairman, George F. Thompson, Senator from Niagara; Senators Robert R. Lawson of Brooklyn and George Cromwell of Richmond, who talked programme over with Colonel Hayward.

Judge Hylan to 1 Be a Principal Witness County Judge John F. Hylan of Brooklyn is also to be one of the principal witnesses. He will be invited to appea rand tell what he knows by Senator Lawson, who also is planning to send invitations to the officers of a number of Brooklyn civic organizations to appear during the inquiry and give testimony regarding complaints they have made about the way questions they brought before the Public Service Commission were handled. It became known today that the main object 0 the investigating committee woll be to "get" the present five members of the Commission, all of whom are Democrats. It is altogether likely, however, that no special assault on Commissioner Milo R.

Maltbie, as his term expires in a fet weeks anyway and Governor Whitman will therefore be put to no trouble in filling his place with his own man. Governor Seeks Change in Personnel, Not in Law Governing Commissions. It is known that Governor Whitman is more desirous of changing the personnel of the present commissions than In altering the law under which the body works and it is in view of this, it is declared, that the principal object of investigation will be the conduct of these officials rather than the principle of the law under which they operate. The Governor, itis declared, has turned a deaf ear on those who have been urgIng a change in the law substituting a single commission for the two now in existence. Mr.

Whitman and his chief advisors are becoming convinced, it is declared, that the trouble with the system of supervision over public utilities is not so much the law as the men who administer it. The principal charges lodged with the investigating committee, and those which, it is declared, most attention will be given, seek to show that the Commissioners while drawing salaries of $15,000 a year from the State do not devote a great deal of time to Co Commission work. One question that will be asked of McCall will be relative to whether or not he has accepted at certain times fees for law work concerning subjects far removed from matters that might come before the Commission but recelved while he was a Commissioner. Probers Will Not Use Travis' Experts. It became known today that the investigating committee had practically determine dto turn down the offer made by Controller Eugene M.

Travis to loan from his office several expert accountants to aid in the probe. Mr. Travis not only stood ready to loan examiners to the number of five or six, but was ready to send his deputy, Frederick G. Reusswig, who is rated as one of the best experts in accounting methods in the State, down to aid the committee. The committee, at its session last night, however, decided that the use of examiniers from another State department would endanger the bringing down upon them of criticism for using men "who were too closely allied with the Administration to insure In view of this, it was thought advisable to seek outside experts, and William Hayward has been authorized to And such.

Right here, however, the committee has met an embarrassing problem--the Legislature only gave the probers $5,000 to carry out their work, and as it has already developed that a big slice of this, if not the major portion, will be necessary to pay for stenographic work, it is A question whether there will be enough funds tor expert accountant's fees left. Hearings in Aldermanic Chamber. The Legislative Committee has been practically assured that it can have the Aldermanic Chamber for the hearings. Senators Cromwell and Lawson interviewed Alderman Curran, the majority leader of the Board, yesterday, and were at first told that any attempt to get a resolution to this effect through the Board would meet with opposition, because the Aldermen have just had the Chamber refurnished, and did not want the furnishings subjected to the extra wear. An appeal was made to President McAney, and he urged the use of this Chamber.

Later a conference with Alderman Frank Dowling, the minority leader, as well as Curran, resulted in the giving of assurances to the legislators that a resolution permitting the use of the Chamber for hearings at all times when not in use for Board meetings would be passed at the next regular meeting next afternoon. This will mean that the probers may use the Aldermanic Chamber every day, morning and afternoon, except on Tuesday afternoons, and then they will be permitted to sit in the Board of Estimate room. The plan of the probers is to begin Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock and sit every week day, including Saturdays, from 10 to 1, and afternoons, 2 till 5, until the inquiry is finished. HEFFLEY GRADUATES A class was graduated from Heffley Institute this week, the members of which will receive diplomas at the next semi-annual commencement.

Miss Sterritt was awarded a gold medal for speed and accuracy in making transcripts. Misses Jahn, Cochlin, Lawrence and Roman Davito were given honorable mention. MOOSE AFTER JOHNSON Kings Men Want to Know How Party Stands in State. A request to Walter A. Johnson, the newly elected chairman of the Progressive Committee to call a special meeting of that body before February 15, will shortly be made by the Kings County Committeemen.

Westervelt Prentice and other Progressive leaders here are back of the movement, and they are planning to send a letter to every other member on the State Committee, urging them to second the request of the Brooklyn members. "We feel that some report ought to be had on the condition of the party in the State," declared Mr. Prentice today. "We wanted to receive this report at last Tuesday's meeting, but Mr. Chadbourne evidently thought the election of a chairman was the only thing of importance, and his action in adjourning the meeting before we arrived prevented our taking up the matter.

Mr. Fuller was absolutely when he referred to such action yesterday? as NOT SURE OF REMAINS FUNERAL IS HALTED Question of Dead Woman's Identity Postpones Ceremony Half Finished. (Special to The Eagle.) Lynbrook, L. January 23-The mistake of a friend of the deceased, who, during the funeral services being held at the Lynbrook Methodist Protestant Church, yesterday afternoon, over the body of Mrs. Alice Saxton of East Rockaway, L.

announced that the corpse was not that of the woman, brought the services to a sudden close and resulted in delaying until today the funeral which was to have followed. Mrs. Saxton died at the Kings Park Sanitarium during the early part of the week at the age of 65. She had been committed to the place years ago, suffering from a complete collapse, caused by the deaths of her husband and a son in rapid succession.

During her stay at the Kings Park institution, Mrs.

Saxton had lost much in weight, and her hair also had been closely cropped, so that after a brief discussion among those in the church, they wrongfully concluded that a mistake had been made, and, halting the funeral preparations, Samuel Saxton went at once to Kings Park to make an investigation. The belief that the body was not that of Mrs. Saxton was strengthened by the statement of the undertaker, who declared that when he had taken the corpse from the Kings Park mortuary, another casket had been lying close by, and he might have taken the wrong one. tion, however, an investigation was When Saxton called at instituthen conducted among the nurses and doctors, and he finally became convinced that it was really his mother who had died, and returned to Lynbrook.

OH BAUN, 2139 84th st, Brooklyn, N.Y, DEARTH OF NAMES FOR NEW COMPANIES Secretary of State Hugo Finds That All Good Ones Have Been Used. MANY BY DEFUNCT CONCERNS. Law Here Prevents New Incorporators From Using Any Similar to Those Registered. (Special to The Eagle.) Albany, January 23-There 1s a dearth of names for incorporating panies and the famine is being felt keenly in the Secretary State'8 office here, where all kinds of trouble are being experienced in preventing new concerns from registering under names already either wholly or partly in use by other companies. According to a statement of Secretary of State Francis H.

Hugo, old, defunct companies or concerns that incorporated, but never operated, or registered their names and never completed organization, have caused a corner on all the really good names for incorporated companies. Mr. Hugo says that if something isn't done quickly to relieve this situation incorporators will be "up against, it" to get names for their concerns. According to State law, an incorporating company is prevented from using a name that is exactly the same or very nearly the same as that of somo other concern. So many have been used that it is difficult to find a good name that doesn't infringe upon the rights of some other concern under the law.

Since 1892, when this law went into effect, Hugo says exactly 107,835 corporations have been formed, or intention of their formation registered, together with the proposed name, in the Secretary of State's office. "A large percentage of these companies," says Hugo, "have failed to complete their organization, or have long since abandoned the purposes for which they were created, though still in existence as a matter of law." This is the cause of the dearth of names. "These incumber the records," says Hugo, "prevent the formation of new companies with the same or similar titles, and seriously increase the difficulty of devising names not already pre As a method of relieving this "monopoly in restraint of trade," Mr. Hugo suggested that a law be enacted similar to that in New Jersey, which permits the State authorities to declare by proclamation the forfeiture of charters of such companies as have defaulted in the payment of the annual franchise COUNTRY STORE FOR CHARITY. The arrangement committee of the Ladies Society Benos Zion Charity Fund were amply repaid for their efforts to make the semi-annual country store a success.
