1911. GOLDSTEIN FIRM PICKED AS UNION BANK COUNSEL Van Tuyl Tells Depositors Rollins Rollins Will Quit September 1. TALK AT BANK DEPARTMENT. Representatives of Depositors Association Surprise Superintendent by Unheralded Visit. A group of Union Bank depositors, Inthe most prominent members of cluding the executive committee of the Depositors Association, called on Superintendent of Banks George C.

Van Tuyl, today and secured from him some important information bearing on the bank's affairs. They learned that, beginning September 1, the Arm with which Assemblyman Louis Goldstein is associated will handle the legal arising In connection with the liquidation of the Union Bank. The following Union Bank depositors participated in the conference: Dr. J. E.

Rohrer, chairman of the executive committee of the Depositors John Woodenbury, secretary of the association; Stephen Tritscher, president of the association; Peter Burden, John C. F. Bauer, Henry Neilan, Louls Middleman, Louis von Fransecky, Roy F. Stablberg and Edward Judson. The depositors took a stenographer along and had given the superintendent no notice would call.

They arrived shortly after 10 o'clock, and the superintendent came in halt an hour later. "Is this a voluntary or an involuntary appearance you making?" he asked the depositors, meaning whether they were acting under instructions in coming to see him. "Voluntary," Dr. Rohrer assured him. "Are you getting any money together, Mr.

Superintendent?" we are pushing matters very nicely," the superintendent replied. Rollins Rollins to Quit This Week. The visitors then went into the matter of a successor to Rollins Rollins, whose work in the Union Bank affairs has not pleased the depositors or the present Superintendent of Banks. "By virtue of a special arrangement between the Banking a Department and Rollins Rollins." Mr. Van Tuyl said, "they will get out of the Union Bank business on September 1.

At that time Assemblyman Goldstein's firm will begin taking care of the legal end of the Union Bank business. Rollins Rollins have been requested turn over all the Union Bank matters to the Goldstein Arm. Mr. Goldstein will represent this department in the collection of all Union Bank claims." The depositors then asked a number of questions concerning the appointment of Dr. Philip A.

Brennan of 44 Court street as attorney to the Banking Department in Union Bank matters. This appointment created a good deal of dissatisfaction among depositors when it was announced two weeks ago. Dr. nan was said to have friendly relations with the Grouts and Sullivan. "Did you know, Mr.

Dr. Rohrer asked, "that Mr. Brennan was a great friend of the Grouts and also of Mr. Sullivan?" "Well," Superintendent Van Tuyl replied, "all I can say is that Dr. Brennan was recommended very highly to the Banking Department, and we needed a man in a hurry to.

dig up certain matters. He is doing his work very well and I don't know anything about his connection with the people you mention." Forgot to Consult Association, Says Van Tuyl. "Why, wasn't the Depositors Association consulted relative to Dr. Brennan'g appointment?" Peter Burden wanted to know. "To tell the truth, I forgot to consult the association in the matter," Superintendent Van Tuyl replied.

"But in the future I intend to consult the association. because I think that you gentlemen are pretty well informed as to the conditions over in Brooklyn." "Why has the department not asked for a Judgment against the Shetland Company?" Dr. Rohrer wanted to know. The Shetland Company is one of the concerns used by Paul Grout as a dummy company to cover part of the $50,000 loan by the Metropolitan Trust Company to the Union Bank after the reopening. "Mr.

Goldstein has got that in hand at this minute," Mr. Van rematter, plied. "I know that he will handle these matters just as ably and expeditiously as possible. I feel that I could not get better man to represent the department in these matters." "How much money has been collected on the stock assessments?" was the next question. Stock Assessment Has Brought In $10,000.

"We have $10,000 already in," Mr. Van Tuyl said. man has been granted an extension of time to make the payment. Soon after September 1 equity actions will be instituted through Mr. Goldstein against all stockholders who have not paid up.

"How does it happen." Peter Burden asked. "that the firm of Grout Grout is able to hold up 80 much of the bank's good collateral?" "They have a lawyer's lien." Mr. Van Tuyl explained. "But this matter will be thrashed out in the courts. Burstein Burstein of Broadway, Brooklyn, and George Tonkonogy have also refused to surrender some of the bank's papers." "I want to make it perfectly clear," Superintendent Van Tuyl declared near the close of the interview, "that I am not putting on the brakes in this investigation.

The Governor asked me the other day whether anyone was interfering with me. I told him no. He said to a me, 'If anyone bothers you this investigation, let me know about It at and I certainly shall." When the depositors left they declared themselves well pleased with the results of the interview. The Attorney General, it was learned late this afternoon, is considering an adjournment of his request for a body attachment for Edward M. Grout.

The matter is scheduled to come up before Justice Putnam at 10:30 o'clock tomorrow morning. SULLIVAN-SOUTHWORTH INDICTMENT ARGUED Lawyer John C. Judge, representing David A. Sullivan, appeared before County Judge Dike today to argue that the indictment charging Sullivan and Southworth with forgery in the third degree WAS full of holes, and should be dismissed upon demurrer and not be tried before a jury. District Attorney Clarke told Mr.

Judge and Judge Dike that the indictment was identical with that in the memorable cases of the Jenkinses, and as that stood the legal test he thought that the Sullivan-Southworth indiement would, too. It appeared on Lawver Judge's argument that he thought the Grand Jury had indicted the men under Section 515 of the Penal Code, which had been made the last part of Section 889 of the Penal Law. Mr. Clarke said that Mr. Judge simply mistaken- that Sullivan and was Southwarth were indicted under the Arst part of section 889 of the Penal Law, which was entirely different than the old Code section, which had been made part of section 889 of the Penal Law.

This took Mr. Judge quite by surprise, but he insisted that the points he was making applied just the same. Judge Dike reserved decision and gave Mr. Judge until next Wedneeday to band brief. PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD Voting Contest for Grand Opera Seats.

"You didn't tell a living soul about the gun, though under no pledge of secrecy, from Saturday till Thursday night?" "No, I did not tell any one until then." "Then you have made two conflicting statements in your previous testimony, as you said you told your wife Wednesday night and also Thursday." never told her till Thursday night." "Weren't you in a right bad fix when Detective McMahon found out that you coughre, I the was gun in a right bad fix." "You knew from the newspapers on Wednesday that the gun had been found." "I did not. and I don't remember much about that day. I was in bad shape especially when I learned that I had bought gun for my own cousin." "You better aren't you "Yes, with that story off my mind." Varying Statements of Paul Beattie. Mr. Smith directed a fusillade of questions against Paul, pointing to varying statements in his testimony before the coroner's inquest, but the witness maintained that was in poor mental condition when he testified there.

"How did you know when the Beattie store closed that Saturday night when you met Henry and gave him the gun? Did you have a watch?" "No; I haven't got enough money to buy a watch." "How did you know?" "Henry said so." "Another thing you omitted yesterday was the fact that worked in butcher shop near the pawnshop. Why did you do 80?" "I thought I mentioned enough places that I worked." "But that was an important point to omit." The witness made no comment. "Had you ever been in that pawnshop before?" continued Mr. Smith. "Yes; once, to borrow a dollar.

"You say that Henry Clay Beattie, called you on the telephone and asked you to get the gun?" "Yes." No Social Visits by the Accused. "Had Henry Clay Beattie, ever called you on the telephone since you were married a year ago? Had he never since then visited you socially?" "No; but he used to telephone me be. fore I was married." "When you were on the stand at the Inquest, was it solicitude for Henry or Paul that made you testify as you did?" "I don't know what solicitude means. I never had much ch schooling, Mr. Smith.

What does it mean?" "Do you know what 'solicitous' means?" "No." "Well. we'll leave it." said Mr. Smith, "but did you say anything at the coroner's inquest about going to McEvey's and taking a drink. I want to test your memory." "I don't remember whether I said it or not. I was in a bad nervous state," retorted the witness.

Took Articles to Miss Binford for Beattie for Four Years. "How long had you known Beulah Binford?" "I didn't know her except took shoes and things to her from Clay Beattie, for four years." "Did you call her Beulah?" "No." "Did her mother live with her?" "I don't know anything about her mother. I don't mix up with those people," added Paul resentfully. "Did you know who Mrs. Fisher was when Henry Clay Beattle, asked you to deliver messages?" "No, but I recognized her as Beulah when I saw her." "Then she didn't know you except as A messenger?" "No." "You never ran around with her?" "No.

1 don't run around with such people." "Quite a safe position for a married man," commented counsel. Then followed suddenly this question: "Mr. Beattie, are you an epileptic?" "What does that mean, crazy? No." witness raised his voice and answered emphatically. Paid for Gun With Ten Dollar Bill of His Own. "When you bought the gun, you paid for it with a ten-dollar bill, though Henry gave you a two-dollar bill?" "Yes, I wanted to change a ten-dallar bill I had." "Did you give any such reason at the coroner's inquest as to why you paid for the gun that way?" "I don't know what I said." "You went out on the side porch of Henry's home on Thursday night after the murder?" asked counsel for the detense.

"He never asked you before Thursday night 'to stick by him' "He had no reason to because he didn't tell me until Thursday that he did "But you said you would not stick by him and would tell all, yet you did not tell all at the coroner's inquest the next day?" "I hated to tell against my own flesh and blood, and I hate it now." As the witness uttered this remark he looked squarely at counsel for the defense a and at the prisoner. "Did you tell your grandmother or grandfather at Henry's after the murder what you knew about the gun?" "I felt sorry for them, and Uncle Henry, too." "You told your wife only about the gun, not the whole business?" "Yes." "Then you told her just enough to clear yourself?" "I wasn't trying to clear anybody." "When Henry called 1 you on the 'phone and asked if you had been summoned by the coroner, he chuckled?" "Yes, he laughed, 'Ha, ha, Redirect Examination of Paul Beattie Cross- examination ended at 11:50 and Prosecutor Wendenburg took the witness on redirect examination. The proscutor had the witness tell of his illness at the time of the inquest and how after his first collapse he was brought back to the witness stand from a hospital. "While you were on the stand before the coroner's inquest and I was examining you," said Mr. Wendenburg, "state whether or not you had to be taken to a lounge." "Yes." "Did not Mr.

Smith, counsel for the defense, object to cross- -examination when you were in that condition?" "He did." "Then Mr. Smith was very considerate of you." interposed the counsel for the defense sarcastically. "During the whole examination by continued Mr. Smith, "you never intimated that you wanted to stop, did you?" "No." "So your mind now seems clear about that inquest?" The witness made no comment. "Did you ever tell anyone," Mr.

Smith asked, 'that you were glad to get even with your cousin?" "No." Judge Watson here asked when Paul Beattie first saw the gun, Saturday, when I bought 1t," an- COMMISSION ASKS BIDS ON NEW SUBWAY BORINGS Bulletin.

CLARK MAKES THREAT IN ANSWER TO TAFT; ACCEPTS GAGE OF BATTLE Continued From Page 1. a general way. I know that my friend, Honorable William Howard is. I served in Congress with him many years, and rate his capacity high, but he is not a tariff expert.

So far as I have been able to learn, the others are not experts. "On the other hand several members of the House, both Republicans and Democrats, including Mr. Underwood and myself, have spent half a lifetime studying and debating the tariff. Many of us participated in debate on the Dingley bill; many of us participated later in the hearing and debates on the PayneAldrich bill, which the President has declared is the best tariff bill ever passed and which I confidentially assert is the worst. "The service of some House and Senate members even goes back to the McKinley bill, the Springer bills, the Mills bill and the Morrison bills.

Then why should we wait for the verdict of the President's board of tariff non -experts? "It will be noted that while the President's conscience would not permit him to sign a bill revising even one schedule -the wool schedule, the rates of which he declared to be too high, and in need of reduction--without recommendation from his board of non -experts, he promptly signed the outrageous PayneAldrich -Smoot tariff bill without the counsel, advice or tuition of any tariff board whatsoever. "That bill was so bad that in a house with 8 Republican majority we lacked only five votes of killing it by recommitting it. That day 24 patriotic Republicans voted with us, among them J. R. Mann, the present Republican minority leader.

was privileged as Democratic minority leader to lead in that great and righteous fight, which will be a consolation to me as long FiS life lasts. Means In particular because the House Is charged by the Constitution with the duty of originating revenue bills. "We were never in favor of a tariff board or commission under the control of the President alone, and responsive to him only. The Congressional Record will fully and clearly prove my contention herein stated. "The President's tariff is composed of able and well-informed men in board, a general way.

I know that my friend, Threat to Cut Off Tariff Board's Supply. "It might as well be understood now ag later that if the tariff board is to be used as a pretext for delaying tariff revision downward, as the President is now using it, instead of expediting genuine and salutary tariff revision, its days will be few. for we will cut off its supply. This board has already cost $309,000 or $400,000, and has not given to Congress any information to aid In revising the tariff. "Mr.

Underwood and I did say that we would gladly receive information on the tariff from anybody possessing it; we never did say and never will say that we, together with other members well informed on the subject, must wait until the President's board or any other board got ready to make recommendations. Taft Not a Tariff Expert. "The President himself 1s a man of large general information as well as a man of great ability, but certainly he is not enough of a tariff expert to justify him in vetoing tariff bills which passed the House by majorities of more than two to one. It is not a flippant or unfriendly statement to say that he possessed only the 'surface information' on the tariff As Governor Dingley denominated it, which is possessed by citizen well informed in a general way. "The President implies that he refused to sign the wool bill because it was introduced and rushed through without due consideration.

Let's see. The caucus of Democratic membera-elect to the Sixtysecond Congress met January 19 and selected the Democratic members of the Committee on Ways and Means, making Mr. Underwood chairman. "They personally and with their helpers at once began to assemble information on the wool schedule. The bill was reported to the House about the middle of April, a period of three months on the preparation of one schedule out of fourteen, whereas the hearing on the Payne bill, with fourteen schedules, began November 11, and the bill was reported to the House March 18, a period of a little over four months devoted to fourteen schedules.

Any tyro in arithmetic knows that, as we devoted three months to one schedule and the framers of the Payne bill devoted on the average only twosevenths of one month to each schedule, we devoted ten and a halt times as much time to a schedule as did brother Payne and his Republican coadjutors on Ways and Means. Nevertheless, and notwithstanding, the President signed the PaynoAldrich-Smoot bill and vetoed ours. Underwood Bill Thoroughly Consid-1 ered. "In this connection it should not be forgotten that when Mr. Underwood reported the wool bill, every line, paragraph and section was thrown open to debate and amendment and that the debate continued until the members discussed it all they wanted to.

Instead of being slapped together hastily, without due consideration, it was one of the most thoroughly and carefully considered tariff bills ever presented to any President for his signature. "In view of the foregoing facts, it surely must be that the President in his zeal to reform the broken lines of tho standpatters forgot that all men were entitled to a square deal when he uttered this monstrous and preposterous selltence: 'The bills bear internal evidence of the fact that they rested on a basis of not tariff for revenue only, but tariff for politics "Really I do not see how he could And it in his heart to utter the foregoing words, for which there is no basis of fact in the universe. 'Never in the history of the Government. 1 venture to say, have important public interest been dealt with In such A light -hearted way, with such absolute ignorance of the effect of legislation and with such willingness sacrifice business interests to political Taft Statement Reckless and Unfair.

swered Paul Beattie. "You didn't know what gun had been found?" "No." "Did you describe the pecullarity of the gun you had bought to Detective McMahon before you were shown the gun that was found?" asked Prosecutor Wendenburg. "I did describe its peculiarities." Beattie was excused at 12:05 o'clock, and Judge Watson ordered him detained at Chesterfield jail. No reason was given by the court for changing the place of Paul Beattie's imprisonment. Frank next called, was' the first of the witnesses by whom the prosecution expected to corroborate the story told by Paul Beattie.

Judge Watson ruled that since Paul Beattie's testimony to his acts had not been controverted or disputed there was no reason to put on corroborative witnesses. The prosecution agreed to hold its witnesses in reserve for any dispute as to Paul Beattie's acts and transactions as testified to by him. Harry Smith, then announced in court that he intended to put the prisoner on the stand. Luther Wells, who was best man at Henry Beattie's wedding, succeeded Sanditer as a witness for the prosecution. He testifed that he was with both Sandifer the prisoner after leaving home of Lawyer Smith on the night after the murder.

Jackson WAS dead when Paul Geidel, the 17-year-old bellboy, charged with his murder at the Hotel Iroquois in Manhattan, stuck the saturated with chloroform In his mouth, will be the defense of the youth whose trial has been In progress for the last week in the Court of General Sessions In Manhattan. Expert testimony will be defense to prove that Jackson died of hemorrhage In no way induced by the rag stuck into his mouth.

"The prosecution has not proved beyond a reasonable doubt that Jackson died of asphyxia. He was undoubtedly dead before the rag ever touched his mouth and we will put on expert mony to prove this," declared James Gray, chief counsel for Geidel, today. Assistant District Attorney Nott sprang a small sensation by announcing at the beginning of the hearing today that he had no further questions to put to Geidel on his own crossexamination. When adjourned last night Mr. Nott expressed determination to continue court, his crossquestioning by asking Judge Crain to order that there be no conference between Geidel and his attorney until the crossexamination was completed.

This change of attitude was not explained by Mr. Nott. STEERSAND KRACKE SEE TAFT Captain and Major Tumbridge Were Also Members of the Party. Borough President Steers, Naval Offcer F. J.

Friends of Mr. Cropsey were annoyed at the publication of the story. declaring that it looked like another attempt 11 hamper the investigation of the Union Bank injecting politics into the situIt ation. was pointed out that the evident effect of the circulation of such a report was to place Mr. Cropsey in the position of trying to mate notttical out of biz since Guttenberg invented movable type, and is a personal reflection on the sense, honesty, integrity and patriotism of every man, Democrat or Republican, who voted for these bills.

As such I resent them not for myself alone, but for all who voted as I did. "That was a queer suggestive picture for Democrats and tariff reform Republicans to contemplate; the President making a standpat speech at Hamilton, on the farm of my good standpat friend, Hon. Augustus Peabody Gardner, flanked on one side by Brother Gardner himself and on the other by Gardner's father-in-law. Senator Cabot Lodge, chief of protective tariff highbinders. That was enough to make the angels weep.

"The President rushed in to create an issue. We pick up the glove flung into of the land. We gladly accept his gage our faces and the faces of I the consumers of battle. confidently believe that the people will indorse our cause and give to us the victory, for we have right and truth and justice on our side."

Elmira, August 29--The Imposing monument, 60 feet high, to General Sullivan, on the brow of a high hill south of Elmira, near the site of the battle of Newtown, an important Revolutionary engagement, tumbled down last night during the terrific storm that swept this section. The monument had been weakened by persistent relic hunters, who gradually had carved away one of the main supporting arches. The monument was dedicated exactly thirty-two years ago today.

Kellogg. The Public Service Commission adver4 tised today for bids to make borings along the lines of proposed rapid transit railroads. Bids will be received at the office of the Commission until 12 o'clock, noon, of Tuesday, September 12, when they will be opened in public by the Commission. The award of the contract to the successful bidder or bidders will follow within a day or two. Borings are required in advance of tho making of plans for new subways and river tunnels, so that the engineers of the Commission may design a structure suitable to the character of the ground through which it is to pass.

They are also useful to bidders in making up their estimates for construction, as they show the character of the soil through which the excavation is to be made. The borings now called for are to be made following points: In Manhattan--Under Seventh avenue, from Fourteenth to Fifty -ninth street; in Fifty -ninth street, from Seventh avenue to Second avenue; in Fiftieth street, from Fifth avenue to Second avenue; in from Fourteenth street to Forty -second street. In Brooklyn--In East Ninety-eighth street and Livonia avenue; in Nostrand avenue; in Stuyvesant avenue and Utica avenue. Manhattan and Brooklyn-Under river crossings, from Old Slip, tan, under the East River to Pineapple street, Brooklyn; from Whitehall street, Manhattan, under the East River, to Montague street, Brooklyn; from the Battery, Manhattan, under the East River, to Atlantic avenue, Brooklyn. It is estimated by the engineers that the work in Manhattan will require the sinking of a casing for 4,170 linear feet and drilling for one-inch cores for 1.055 linear feet.

In Brooklyn the sinking of casing for 8,790 linear feet. The river borings. will require the sinking of casing for cores for 8,390 linear feet and drilling for cores for 1,200 linear feet. Borings land are to be carried generally to the bottom of the proposed nels, but may extend to a greater depth. It rock is encountered, a penetration of 15 feet may be required.

In the sections for elevated railroads the borings, it is expected, will not exceed about 15 feet in depth, although they may be extended 1f it is thought advisable. Under the river borings will be made at frequent intervals at least to the bottom of the proposed tunnels, and maybe to a greater depth. Should the results at any point indicate the advisability of changing the line, the proposed tunnel borings along that line may be abandoned, and tunnel borings made along such other lines as may be determined upon.

Many of the leading private citizens and the physicians of Greenpoint section are considering matter of crestthe ing a state inspection the sanitation of the summer resorts of this state, and preventing the epidemics of typhoid which are so frequent. Such an act will be given to Senators Loring M. Black and Thomas C.

Harden for presentation to the Legislature. Dr. Herbert J. Knapp, Dr. Clifford Pardee, Dr.

William J. Quinn, Dr. Percy DeNyse, Dr. Pitch and Dr. Lottie A.

Cort have interested themselves in the matter. Dr. Knapp said concerning the movement, today, that it was needed for the preservation of the health of the citizens of Brooklyn and their families. He spoke of a man who went to a wellknown summer resort where sanitation was not enforced by the local health board and he had two of his family down with typhoid fever as a result. Further, the doctor said: "The touble with local health boards is that they are too often made up of a doctor, a blacksmith and a groceryman, whose work is confined to their respective businesses.

Too often the drainage is close to the water supply at the different hotels and boarding houses and should be looked after and corrected by state supervision without local interests governing them. That will be the purpese of the legislation to be asked for." MARRIES TO STAY HERE. Classification. Page, Obituaries Picture Features. R.
