Y. Notice ef funeral TREE-CHOPPING CASE QUICKLY DISMISSED Magistrate Naumer Refuses to Hold William Ahrens for Removing Poplars. PARK DEPT. MEN COMPLAINED. Matter May Be Appealed Who Made Arrest Must Face Charges.

In a decision refusing to find William Ahrens, a post office inspector, guilty of cutting down trees on his property, at 635 East Eighteenth street, Flatbush, without getting the consent of the Park Department. Magistrate Naumer in the Flatbush court today scored the officials who were responsible for bringing the case before him. The case is likely to lead to complications, one of which will be the bringing of the patrolman, who made the arrest at the instance of the Park Department men, up on charges before the deputy commissioner next Wednesday. Despite Magistrate Naumer's refusal to hold Ahrens the Park Department men claim that they were within their rights, that they will put the matter before Commissioner Kennedy, who will carry to a higher court. Ahrens lives at 635 East Eighteenth street, near Foster 'avenue.

Inside a privet hedge bordering property on Foster avenue, there was formerly a row of poplar trees, three of which had cut down several days ago by Charles Sauter, a gardener of 60 Prospect street. Sauter was promptly arrested at the instigation of the Park Department men and John Herlihy, one of its arboriturists, and others appeared before Magistrate Naumer at the preliminary hearing on Monday last. They claimed that the trees cut down at Ahrens' order were within the street line. Foster avenue, they claim, from figures obtained from W. R.

Tenney, engineer of the Bureau of Highways, is an eighty foot street, fortytwo feet of which is the roadway, with a nineteen foot sidewalk on either side. The trees cut down by Ahrens, they claim, were only fifteen feet. two inches from the outer curb line, bringing them almost four feet within the street line. Therefore, the cutting of the trees was a violation of Chapter 543. Article 3, of the Park Department ordinances of 1902, they contend.

When asked on the stand whether he had measured this distance, Mr. Herlihy admitted that he had not, and Magistrate Naumer promptly ruled out his testimany as incompetent. Ahrens claimed that the trees were not within the street down because they littered the sidewalk limit and that he had had them cut a and were bad for the surrounding trees and shrubs. The patrolman who made the arrest and who will now have to face charges brought against him by his captain, William Shaw of the Parkville station, after Ahrens had written a letter of complaint concerning his action, is John F. McNally.

In rendering his decision Magistrate Naumer said: "I cannot find any authority or excuse for the arrest of the defendant. The right of a citizen to plant and remove vegetation of any kind on his own property has never been questioned, and the ordinances of the city apply only to the planting and cutting down of trees on public property. No criticism is due the police officer. He simply made the arrest upon the direction of one who assumed to, but did not understand the law." DEATHS. on Friday, May 10.

M. N. THIEF FED BRAIN ON SLEUTH STORIES Harry Nelling, Trapped In Home, Confesses to Three Robberies.

STOLE FOR WIFE, HE SAYS. House Stocked With Gaboriau's Novels and Other Detective Tales. A frank confession of guilt was made in the Fifth avenue police court today by Henry Nellling, the strange young man who was taken from a house stocked with detective stories at Stanhope street, Ridgewood, Queens County, to a prison cell, burglary. Three complainants appeared against him in court. All toldd stories of homes robbed by a mysterious person who had climbed up a dumb-waiter rope, but the mystery of the "dumb-waiter" burglar's identity faded when the stuff found in Nelling's rooms was displayed.

It was identified without hesitation. Nelling broke down when reporters talked to him. He readily admitted that he had been responsible for three robberies, but protested that he was driven to play the part of burglar because of his wife's need of clothing. That story is only half credited by the police, although, they cay; that when they visited the Stanhope street house they discovered that Mrs. Nelling had only one suit.

They smiled ironically when they heard this explanation. They dug into the recesses of their memory and recalled that Nelling was once sent away for six months for beating the wife for whom he now professed such solicitude. And they exhibited a list of books as they jotted the titles down in Nelling's home, just to throw a side-light on the peculiar trend of the man's mind. House Stocked With Detective Stories Nelling, known to his employers and friends as a steady, sober and industrious oil wagon driver, but by his own statements a. man with a dual personhad more than a hundred wellthumbed, dog-eared books scattered about nis neat little' home.

There were detertive stories by Kathrine Cecil Thurston, several of Gaboriau's works and tales by authors less well known. These were some of the titles--full of suggestion: "THE LURE OF THE MASK." "AN ACCOMPLICE." "HALF A ROGUE." "PRISONERS OF CHANCE." "THE GAMBLE." "BREWSTER'S MILLIONS." Despite the implied evidence of some of these novels Nelling told the report-: ers with a quiver in his voice that he was not a student of criminology. But to the detectives he admitted that when he went thieving he thought it wise to encase his hands in gloves for when gloves are worn there are no tell-tale finger prints left behind as guide-posts for the Bertillon experts. Loot Hidden Under Pile of Baby's Christmas Tree Ornaments. A peculiar trait of Nelling was that he apparently pawned little of the loot he gathered.

Much of it was found wrapped up in a knotted blue bandanna handkerchief and stowed away under lot of glass balls, tinsel and other Christmas tree ornaments, which had adorned the tree that delighted Nelling's child last Yuletide. It was a miscellaneous assortment. Whatever stock of bravado Nelling may have had rapidly sifted away as one after another of the three complainants told their stories. There was Mrs. Edith Wensley, whose home at 660 Fiftieth street was entered on the same day as the homes of the other two--April 15.

Mrs. Wensley had lost $135 in cash, a gold watch and fob valued at $40, a neck chain worth $2 and a ring on which a value of $15 was set, as well as some old coins. All of this except the ring was in the blue bandanna. Entrance to the Wensley home was effected by means of the dumbwaiter lope, up which the active thief climbed hand over hand to the second floor. The same process was employed at the home of Joseph W.

Allen at 652 Forty-fifth street. From the Allens a pair of cuff buttons, a match safe, a leather cigar case, a locket, marked "Bessie," and some small jewelry was taken. The apartments of Miss Irene Devanney, in the same house, were entered and several small articles of minor. value taken. Detectives Dwyer, Hyland, Dittman: and De Martini, the men who arrested Nelling, think that his capture will clear up a score of burglaries which have taken place in the Bay Ridge section recently.

They got into the man's house by posing as tenement house inspectors. Magistrate Geismar bold Nelling without bail to await the action of the Gran Jury. He seems to be a clever talker and a' person of quick wit. Wife Did Not Suspect Nelling's Dual Life. Mrs.

Nelling, Nelling's. wife, a very pretty woman, was seen at their little home, at 417 Stanhope street. Ridgewood, Queens. She said that the developments in the case came as a great shock to the family and that she had never suspected her husband's dual existence until the detectives arrived to place him under. arrest.

"He used to bring lots of trinkets from time to time." said Mrs. Nelling, "but he told me that he had purchased them at auction sales. He abused me often and once he would have been sent away by Magistrate O'Reilly had it not been for our child. Only last Sunday my mother asked him to reform and be a better man, but he ordered her from the house." HORSE THROWS POLICEMAN. Policeman Charles Bradley of Traffic Squad is in the Holy Family Hospital today seriously hurt, the result of a fall he had last night when his horse, Togo, stumbled and threw him while he was pursuing a man who had knocked down a small boy.

It was on President street, between Nevins street and Third that Bradley gave chase to the "driver, who was being attacked by a number Italians who were infuriated at the accident to the boy. The boy was able to go home after his hurts had been patched up by a surgeon from the Holy a Family pital. Bradley was picked up unconscious suffering from concussion of the brain.

Whites and Blacks Worked With Convicts to Strengthen Them. Clear Skies Bring Hope. New Orleans, May 11-New Orleans woke this morning with the sun beaming brightly down upon last night's scene of confusion when all of the elements combined to give the city a storm that, a because of the flood in the river, was the most threatening ever known. No rain fell during the latter part of the night and the clouds vanished this morning, with prospects of a fair, warm day. The river fell gradually from 2 o'clock this morning, after having exceeded all flood records here by a foot and a half.

The night was one of terror for those living in up-State towns and villages behind levees considered none too safe because of the terrific rain storm that swept down the Mississippi River from the northern portion of Louisiana to the Gulf. The deluge was accompained by hail and lightning, and a near hurricane that dashed river water over levees in cascades from Baton Rouge south, tearing away temporary earthworks recently constructed. From scores of towns belated telegrams tell of conditions almost ing on panic, where hundreds of frightened people left frame dwellings and sought safety in brick and stone buildings. Hundreds living in districts considered unsafe by the United States Army officers, who had refused to heed warnings and leave their homes, changed their minds when the storm came, and an exodus began for the concentration camps. Many places reported as much as six inches of rain, which fell within about four hours, ending at 10 o'clock, and flooding towns and vi lages so that the inhabitants believed the levees had given way under the tremendous strain.

At dozens and dozens of points up and down the river where levees were thoughr weakening, hundreds of citizens, white and black, worked alongside gangs of convicts all night long in the driving rain, digging mud and piling 'sandbags on' levee tops to. keep back -the torrential water piling down from the north. It was a fight for life and property against heavy odds at many places from Torras almost to this city. At New Orleans the wind backed up the water until the gauge at 10 o'clock registered 21.9 feet, one-tenth more than the Weather Bureau officials predicted. Water was blown over the levees here at many places.

The city's streets were turned into torrents, the water in several instances flooding business houses to the depth of inches, filling basements and manholes. To add to the uneasiness, the city lighting plant was out of commission about 10 o'clock and most of the city was in darkness for nearly an hour. In the residence district the water was over the sidewalks by several inches. Joseph Dolfe, a drug clerk, with a companion tried to jump the Carrollton avenue drainage canal, the water in which was level with the street. He misjudged the distance and was drowned.

Hundreds were caught in the downpour down town, unable to get to their homes because of the crippled car service. Scores of well dressed men. on Canal street took off their water-logged shoes. slung them over their shoulders, rolled up their trousers to their knees and walked and waded barelegged to their homes. Newsboys improvised bridges over street crossings with planking and collected handsome tolls.

FINAL ROUND-UP FOR THE DELEGATES Only 100 Will Remain to Be Chosen at the End of Next Week. WIDELY DIVERGENT CLAIMS. Control of Convention Will Not Determined Until Contests Are Settled by National Committee. Washington, May 11--The makeup of the Republican national convention, SO far as the original selection of delegates can determine it, will be practically settied within a week. Including eight to be chosen today at district conventions In Texas and Arizona, over 200 delegates all are to be selected in the eight days ending next Saturday.

About 100 will then remain to be chosen, including 48 from Ohio and 24 from New Jersey. The widely divergent claims of the Taft and Roosevelt managers make it apI parent, however, that a determination of the actual control of the convention is impossible in advance of the meeting of the Republican national committee, June 6. The committee take up at that time contests involving the seats of at least 164 delegates, and it is not unlikely that additional contest cases will be announced by the time the committee begins work. Up to this morning 786 of the 1,078 delegates to Chicago had been chosen, according to Roosevelt estimates; while the Taft forces record 20 less. The ditferences arise over Maryland, where the Taft managers declare the control of sixteen delegates will not be cleared until the State convention next Tuesday, and Kansas, where the Roosevelt records show fourteen have been chosen, and the Taft records ten.

Claims of the Campaign Managers. Representative McKinley, head of the Taft campaign, claimed 483 delegates for the President and conceded 237 to Colonel Roosevelt. Senator Dixon, manager of the Roosevelt committee, claimed 319 for Roosevelt and conceded 143 to Taft. The Roosevelt managers contend that 114 delegates are uninstructed, including 88 from New York and that 164 are contested. campaign committees, in their tables, give Senator La Follette 36 delegates and Senator Cummins 10.

Preparations for the two weeks' battle at Chicago over the seating of contested delegations, are being completed rapidly by the attorneys for both factions. While but 1 few contests have been filed thus far with the national committee, the managers and their attorneys will be ready with all of the cases by May 29, the date on which the papers must be before the committee. The delegations instructed for Taft whose seats will be contested, according to the latest statement from Senator Dixon, are as follows: Alabama, 20; Arkansas, District of Columbia, Florida, 12: Georgia, 26; Indiana, 12; Kentucky, 16; Louisiana, 20; Michigan, Missouri, South Carolina, Tennessee, 14; Virginia, 22. The 200 delegates to be selected in the coming week include 26 in Texas, 26 in California, 24 in Minnesota, 14 in Washington, 22 in North Carolina, 16 in West Virginia, and scattering delegations in many other States. "Confidential" Roosevelt List.

Differing from the claims of Senator Dixon, Roosevelt's national manager, is a "confidential" list of delegates sent out from the Roosevelt headquarters in Manhattan to a number New York State delegates and alternates who are supposed to have Roosevelt inclinations. The figures given in the summary at the bottom of the list are as follows: Roosevelt, 361: Taft. 238; La Follette, 36; Cummins, 10; uninstructed, 19, and contested, 170. Twenty delegates are claimed from New York State for Roosevelt. This differs from Senator Dixon's claim of 21, given out at Washington, and from the admis sions of the Taft managers that 8 will be for Roosevelt from New York The table is divided into three main divisions.

W. Muller and Master Fritz Muller. ANNUITY PLANNED FOR DR. HUMPSTONE Committee of Emmanuel Baptist Church Now at Work Raising Funds. PULPIT COMMITTEE NAMED.

Its Duty to Secure Successor to the Retiring Pastor--Resolutions of Regret Adopted. At a meeting last night of Emmanuel Baptist Church, Lafayette avenue and St. James place, a pulpit committee was appointed to secure a successor to the Rev. Dr. John Humpstone, who has been pastor of the church for nearly thirty years, all period of its existence.

Dr. Humpstone has resigned, his resignation to take effect on May 31. The committee is as follows: W. H. Burger, J.

W. Greene, George Vaughn, A. C. Bedford, George W. Palmer, Charles M.

Pratt, C. S. Estes, Robert Harding and E. V. Stevens.

-It is not thought much will be done toward securing a pastor until the fall. Dr. Humpstone will remain as a member of the church. A committee is at work to provide a sum to be put out at interest to give an annuity for life to Dr. Humpstone, the original sum to revert to the church at the death of the retiring pastor.

Last night reports were read from the different organizations, which showed the church to be in a prosperous condition. The secretaries and treasurers of Sunday schools, the Women's Union, the Young People's Association, the Young Men's League, the board of deacons and the various committees read their reports, as did the assistant pastor, the Rev. Mr. Conant. Resolutions of regret at the departure of Dr.

Humpstone and in tribute to him were unanimously passed. The resolutions will be signed by official board3 of the church and by the members of the church and its two Sunday schools and then presented to Dr. Humpstone. The resolutions follow: Whereas, The church at a meeting held May 3, 1912, having with great sorrow and reluctance accepted the resignation of our beloved pastor. the Rev.

John Humpstone, D.D., to take effect May 31 next, the first and only pastor of our church, who has served us for nearly thirty years; therefore, be it Resolved, That we the members of the Emmanuel Baptist Church in Brooklyn, in accepting the resignation of our pastor do so only after we have been fully satisfied that the acceptance cf his resignation was necessary to the recovery of his health, and 4 doing 80 we hereby place on record our love and affection for the godly man who has led and inspired us through the entire history of the church. Truly he came to us declaring the testimony of God; he knew nothing among us save Jesus Christ and Him crucifled; his preaching was in demonstration of the Spirit and of power; that our faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. Our pastor's labors among us have been so loving and so strew: so tender and so helpful in the life of each one of us, that we have much difficulty in expressing in words our love for him and the sorrow that fills our hearts at the realization that we must relieve him from the burdens of his large parish. Our prayers will ever be his that His health may be permanently restored; that his great influence in the service of his Master may long be exercised, and that the joy that comes as a reward of long and faithful service may ever be his. We also desire gratefully to acknowledge our pastor's strong spiritual leadership.

He has made this a missionary church and his influence has been felt throughout our denomination. We cal do nothing more honoring to him than to hold our church true to the standards he has set for us. His pastorate among us has been marked by his strong and helpful influence on the lives of his people, by his unselfishness that led him to service that has taxed his strength to the utmost, by his sane and practical leadership in all of our church organizations and by his helpful participation in the larger activities of the denomination. We are parting with a beloved leader, but in doing SO we can do no less than to assure him that we will loyally stand by the interests of the church that has been SO much to him for these many years, and we reioice in the knowledge that he will still fellow laborer with us in the Lord's vineyard.

The State police were riding down A crowd of rioters who were desperate in their manner, displaying firearms and hurling stones and clubs at them. The boy was standing in the front yard of his: home and the mob stood near defiantly daring the troopers to come on.

The mounted police moved forward just as a volley stones struck them. Several pistol shots were fired by crowd. The troopers had their guns ready and were ordered to shoot. The police were ordered to fire low, and the bullet that hit the boy was not intended for him. It passed through h.s body over the heart coming out through his back.

He died shortly afterward. The shooting cowed the rioters, but on learning the boy was dead they gathered greater force. The police appear to in have the situation well in hand. More troopers from the Peckville station and from Wyoming barracks arrived at Olyphant shortly after the shooting. There was no trouble today at the Cayuga breaker in North Scranton where yesterday's disturbance occurred and several men were wounded.

State, local and railroad police are still on guard.

Deeds of Thirty-two Heroes Commemorated in Bronze. At Police Headquarters, 240 Center street, a police memorial tablet.

was unveiled at noon today to commemorate the names of heroes of the department. The tablet is on the right of the hallway, in the entrance, and upon it are engraved the names of thirtytwo policemen, who have lost their lives in the discharge cf duty. R. A. C.

Smith, chairman of the Citizens Committee, addressed the large gathering present and spoke in a touching manner of the heroism of those honored. He regretted the fact that incomplete reports of the Police Department made it probably that some names, deserving mention on the tablet, were not there. Among those who gathered to witness the ceremony were about twenty widows and many children of the heroes, and when former Deputy Commissioner Bert Hanson spoke of the feats of the heroes and the esteem in which their memory is held by the policemen and citizens, there was hardly a dry eye in the audience. Mr. Hanson is president of the Municipal Art Commission, which presented the tablet to the city.

Police Commisisoner Waldo, in behalf of the municipality, accepted the gIft with a few appropriate remarks and then Police Lieutenant William McCarthy undraped the tablet. The benediction vas pronounced by the Rev. William Morrison, Protestant chaplain of the Brooklyn Department.
