Justice Crane, sitting in Part I of the Supreme Court this morning, suddenly halted the trial of the suit of Benjamin J. Colvin of Shelton, against George Schlegel, a wealthy resident of Bay Ridge, and sent the case to the Jury investigation. Colvin claimed $5,980 for expenses and services as a detective employed by Schlegel in the divorce action brought by the latter against his wife in 1910. Justice Crane dismissed the complaint and gave judgment for the defendant after speaking his mind about Colvin's story of his hunt for evidence. Incidental to the trial and a very interesting feature of it yesterday was the declaration of Lawyer John F.

Carew, attorney for Schlegel, that if wrong had been done the former Mrs. Schlegel her husband was willing to take her back. "I heard last night," said Mr. Carew in court today, "that Mrs. Schlegel has married again.

I did not know of that fact before, and I am not absolutely sure of it yet, but I believe my information is correct." end of Colvin's case came without warning this morning just after the case was called. Colvin on the witness stand had testified that he had been employed to "take care of" Sip Peris, the corespondent in the Schlegel divorce action. He had paid Peris money and had gone into the automobile business with him, Colvin said, with the knowledge and consent of Lawyer George C. Delacy, Schlegel's a attorney. Lawyer Delacy went on the witness stand and denounced Colvin's testimony as "an infamous lie." "That settles it." said Justice Crane, after Delacy had finished his testimony, "I am going to send this case to tho Grand Jury.

Gentlemen of the jury, I am not going to try your patience with this case any further. I will dismiss the complaint and give judgment the defendant. I have directed the stenographer to prepare the minutes of the case and they will be paid out of the court funds. The Grand Jury will have this entire record and decide whether or not there has been subornation of perjury. 1 have notified the District Attorney, and, as the witnesses are all here, the case could go to the Grand Jury today." It developed, however, that the April Grand Jury having been dismissed, the case could not be investigated until Monday, when the May Grand Jury will be sworn in.

SALOONKEEPER'S INJUNCTION Police Cannot Secure Two Convictions Simultaneously. A decision which Lawyer Alexander S. Drescher, representing certain saloon interests, believes wiil do much to eliminate the practice of extorting money from saloonkeepers, was made today by Justice Benedict in equity term of the Supreme Court. Justice Benedict holds that the police may not secure two convictions simultaneously by delaying action on the first violation charged and waiting for a second and then making a move to have the license cancelled. Saloonkeepers have been considerably worried in the last few months by the arbitrary actions of the police, who under the method used could put almost any saloonkeeper out of business.

The suit in which Justice Benedict made the decision was brought by a Bridge street cafe owner, who asked Enorities' from injunction taking away restraining his the license. auJustice Kelly had granted a preliminary injunction.

GAVE LYSOL FOR LAXOL Coroner Halts Inquest Into Death of 5-Year-Old Child. Coroner Senior stopped the inquest in the case of the death of Isidor Dinau, aged 5 years and 6 months, this until he can get more facts morning, he can subpena Katz," a druggist, at 78 Graham avenue.

The evidence the had secured indicated either physician or a that Coroner, druggist had made a terrible mistake, and that the child's death was due to somebody's carelessness. The boy had been ill, suffering from fever, and Dr. Hyman of McKibbin street, had been called in. He wrote a prescription for "laxol," he says, and instructed the mother of boy to give a teaspoonful, inwardly. The prescription was filled out for "lysol," a preparation of carbolic acid, most deadly in' its effects, and when the mother fed the boy spoonful of the drug the effect was immediately apparent.

An' ambulance was called and the child was taken to the Kingston avenue hospital, where he soon died. The prescription was filled by A. Katz, druggist, of the number given on Graham avenue. The bottle was not labeled "Poison!" but the label was printed in red ink and the words, "For external use, only," was printed at the top of it. Probably the mother did not notice that, but she followed the physician's directions and gave the child a teaspoonful of the poison.

"There is distinct objection to the sort of speech reported to have been made by woman, either at the Franklin statue or in front of 26 Broadway." Mayor Mitchel made this declaration today, as he announced that the I. W. W.

and the Socialists would have to shift their noonday meetings, to the square north of the new Municipal Building, Manhattan. The Mayor also made it pain that those speakers who indulge in incendiary utterances will be arrested. "I do not know that the woman did declare that if she had her way John D. Rockefeller, would not live until night." said the Mayor, "but if she statement was followed by action." J. E.

Balmanno, vice president, to the presidency, was announced today, following a meeting of tie directors at which the changes were made. Mr. Chauncey, it was stated, requested of the Board of Directors that he be relieved of the responsibilities of active management of the bank. His duties in the bank with its five branches have told his health and his retirement at time is due to a sire that a way be provided for him to enjoy a well earned vacation.

Chauncey unanimously elected to that place. Mr. Balmanno, who has been elected president in the place vacated by Mr. Chauncey, has been associated with the bank's affairs since boyhood.

During its existence the bank has had but four presidents, including the retiring president, George W. Chauncey, and his father, who was also president institution, The first. president of the bank was Conklin Brush, who served until his death, in 1869, when the directors elected Mr. Chauncey's father, Daniel Chauncey, as Mr.

Brush's successor. The second president continued to hold office for fourteen years. Upon his death, in 1883, the directors elected his son, George W. Chauncey, in his father's place, as a director of the bank. Mr.

Chauncey accepted the post and his active connection with bank dates from that year. The directors at the same time chose George W. White as the president of the bank. In 1897 George W. Chauncey became a vice president.

Matthews' Sons, yesterday afternoon at the closing hour, when all the employees were called together to hear an important announcement from M. M. Dimond, president of the concern. Mr. Dimond made a brief speech in which he announced that beginning today the hour for opening the store would be 9 o'clock I instead of 8:30.

Mr. Dimond's announcement was received with cheers, and he was then surrounded by the enthusiastic heads of departments and salespeople and warmly thanked. In speaking of the matter today Mr. Dimond said that the innovation had been decided upon a8 being in line with the progress of the age the general effort to make life pleasanter and haper for the toilers.

WAS GOVERNOR Every Member of Board Voted in Favor of Resolution Except Queens' Representative. Governor Glynn will be asked, through a resolution passed by the Board of Estimate, at the meeting today, to send an emergency message to the Legislature, at the special session this month, urging the repassage of the South Brooklyn marginal railroad bill, permitting joint operation by the trunk line railroads. It was the firm belief of all the mombers of the board during the discussion, that Governor Glynn vetoed the bill under a misapprehension. Mayor Mitchel took the initiative In bringing to the attention of the Governor his mistake in vetoing the bill. is moved," said the Mayor, "that "It the Governor be requested to include in his special message to the Legislature, the bill to permit the joint operation of the South Brooklyn marginal railroad." Every member of the Board voted in favor of the resolution except Public Works Commissioner Dayton, who was sitting for Borough President Connolly.

Mr. Connolly, it will be recalled, opposed the bill, which the Governor vetoed. on the suggestion of the Mayor, Mr. Dayton was excused from voting. The Mayor strongly intimated that the people who induced Governor Glynn to veto the original bill, willfully misrepresented the of the legislation.

It is believed by the members of the Board that when Governor Glynn hears the facts in connection with the marginal railroad, he will have no objection to including it in his message to the special session. The discussion arose at the public hearing on the form of franchise contract which the city is to grant the Degnon Terminal Railroad to operate a terminal railroad in connection with the Sunnyside improvement in Queens. Action on granting the franchise was postponed two weeks. Mayor Mitchel said the establishment of the proposed terminal railroad might include the danger of conferring of exclusive privileges which the city must avoid. The Manufacturers and Business Men's Association of Brooklyn has perfected arrangements for a special train to Albany in anticipation of a definite appointment with the Governor for Wednesday next, May 6, or later.

The cost of transportation to Albany and return will depend upon the number of persons who apply for reservations. Rates to and from Albany are to be as follows: $5.75 per capita for 1 to 99, $4.30 per capita for 100 to 199, $3.50 per capita for 200 to 499. This is an opportunity for Brooklyn men to stand up and be counted. They can do so by communicating at once with the Manufacturers and Bustness Men's Association, 198 Montague street, or 16 Cou-t street, indicating the number of tickets they desire for the trip to Albany. "UNDERGROUND WIRELESS" Estimate Board Engineers Propose Seeming Impossibility.

Hark ye, wireless enthusiasts, and list to a ruling by the engineers of the franchise bureau of the Board of Estimate, which declared in a report to the board at today's meeting that the petition of the Wireless Specialty Apparatus Company for permission to string a fins wire across New and Beaver streets, Manhattan, from the tops of the high buildings at that point should be denied. "All wires should be placed underground," snys the report, as though that put a clincher on any possible argument. The engineers also state that the stringing of even a fine wire over a public street is contrary to the policy of the board, which is against the auo thorization of further installation of overhead wires. The company that wanted the privilege intended receive the wireless time signals from the Arlington highpower station near Washington and to give the information obtained to the mercantile houses of downtown Manhatan free of charge. "The wireless people are trying to figure out some plan of receiving the wireless signals by the underground route, but have not yet been able to arrive at any satisfactory solution of the matter.

Organist Wants $2,000 From Rockefeller's Church as Salary. Professor Harry Rowe Shelley, wellknown organist and composer, especially in Brooklyn, through his work as an organist here before he went to the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church, fitzeen years ago, has just begun an action for damages in the Supreme Court, Manhattan, of interest to choirmasters and choir singers. Mr.

Shelley says that $2,000 is due him from the secretary of the music committee of the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church because he was not notified that his services would not be needed this year and lost his place through the amalgamation of the congregation with that of Calvary Baptist Church.

Policemen Wrightman and Cummings, who were in the station at the time, thought that the man was demented and took him to an ante-room.
