GEN. ROBERT AVERY DIES IN HOSPITAL Well-Known Veteran of Civil War Succumbs to Attack of Acute Indigestion. LIVED HERE MANY YEARS. Had Brilliant War Record-Sho1 Through Neck at Chancellorsville. General Robert Avery.

retired, one of the best known Brooklyn, who rose from a captaincy to the rank of brevet major general for gallantry during the Civil War, died late yesterday afternoon of acute indigestion, inducing heart failure, at the Reception Hospital in Manhattan. His residence 26 street. was Courts Second place and his office at General Avery had been visiting Blackwell's Island on business and while returning on the boat complained of illness. Dr. Pudderow was with him.

After reaching the foot of Seventieth street they started towa Third avenue, when the General was overcome and was taken in an ambulanve to the Reception Hospital, where he died. General Avery was born in Tunkhannock, September 2, 1839, and was the son of the late Abel Marcy and Euphemia Pell Avery. He was graduated at the Wyoming Seminary and studied law, afterward teaching school for some time and assuming the management of a rolling mill in his native county. With the opening of the Civil he was commissioned a captain in the 102d New York Infantry. He became lieutenant-colonel on January 1, 1863, and was brevetted lieutenant-colonel of volunteers on March 13.

1865, "for gallant and meritorious SATVices" at Chancellorsville, where he coinmanded the right wing of the Second army corps, and where he was shot through the neck, the bullet tearing He away his teeth and a part of hig jaw. was brevetted colonel and brigadiergeneral for his services at Lookout Mountain, where he lost his right leg, and was brevetted major of teers in March, 1865; he was mustered out of the volunteer service in 1867, having in the meamtime taken a commission in the regular army, from which he was retired In 1870. In 1904 he was placed on the retired list with the rank of colonel. After the Civil War he was sent to Raleigh, N. a3 judge advocate to assist the work of reconstruction, having previously been admitted to the bar.

For a time he lived in Texas and orgauized a railroad through that State. Colonel Stegman's Tribute to His Dead Comrade, Colonel Lewis R. Stegman, who was a captain in the same regiment with General Avery when he enlisted in 1861, said today that the latter fought with him under General Banks in the Shenandoah at Harper's Ferry, and in the bloody battles of Winchester and Kernstown. He was also in the battle of Cedar Mountain, one of fiercest of the war, and in Polk's campaign. He was at battle of Antietam, with his regiment, the One the Hundred and Second New York, where he was made a lieutenant colonel.

At the three days fight at Chancellorsville, in 1863, on the third day, while raliying his men, he was shot in the threat and mouth. When his men retreated he was taken off the field and removed to the Annapolis Hospital, where he remained several months, most of the time being paralyzed. He returned to active duty and, going west, was in several skirmishes, returning east and taking part in the battle of Lookout Mountain. At Lookout Mountain on November 24, 1863, he was in command of the left wing, in the attack, and when half way up the mountain side, he was shot in the right leg and fell. Private Brodigan, who was his orderly, with Private Cooney, carried him to a place of safety, and after the battle removed him from the field on a litter of boughs.

At this time he was the tentmate of General Gary of the Second Division of the Third Army Corps. He recovered from his wounds, though he had to suffer an amputation of the right leg at the body. Several weeks ago General Avery, Cologel Stegman and another officer of the old One Hundred and Second Regiment met and in conversation about war times revealed the fact that there were but five of the officers of that regiment then alive. The death of General Avery reduces the number to four. Deceased Long a Picturesque Figure Here, General Avery had for nearly A generation been a picturesque figure in Brooklyn.

He was a man nearly six feet tall and built proportionately, He wore a luxuriant white beard, which served to conceal the wounds in his neck and jaw Inflicted in the war. He walked with erutches, being unable to use an artileg, as the limb was cut off at the socket. He suffered continuously, although never complaining. His hearty good nature was infectious. He was active in the organization of the Kings County Elevated Railroad, now known as the Fulton street branch of the B.

Mons VAN OF FURNITURE MISSING Police Think They Have Uncov-1 ered New Method of Wholesale Larceny. With the detention of Tony. Romano of 462 Lincoln road, Flatbush, in the Jamaica police court, yesterday under bail of $1,500 to await examination on Friday, the police have learned of what they believe is an entirely new method of larceny. Romano is charged with stealing a whole van-load of furniture from Mrs.

Anna Van Wart, who has 8 summer home at 23 Maple place, Rockaway Beach, and the ease with which he got it leads the police to fear that they may be confronted with a wholesale number of similar thefts. The man went down to Rockaway Beach last week, on Tuesday, as the driver of a prepossessing moving The van was seen by Mrs. Van Wart, and she engaged its driver to remove her furniture from the Rockaway Beach house to her home at 754 East 1521 street, The Bronx. Romano is alleged to have filled the van to the bursting point and then to have disappeared. When two days passed without his appearance at her home in the Bronx, Mrs.

Van Wart nitifled the Rockaway Beach police staiton. She said that the van had borne a sign which showed it to belong to Tonyees Brothers of 616 Quincy street, Brooklyn. She could give almost no description of the driver. Detective George Byrnes was assigned to hunt up the driver. He found that the firm of Tonyes Brothers had sold all Its vans some time ago.

and he proceeded to trace each one of the vans. Several of these leads proved fruitless, until he found that one of the vans had been sold to Michael Henry, whose place is on Lincoln road, near New York avenue. Henry told the detectives that he had leased the van to Romano on September 25. Romano, he said, had represented that he wanted to go into the moving business. The detective was unable to locate Romano until Monday of this week.

When he was arrested Mrs. Van Wart identified him as the driver who had taken the van- load of furniture from her house last Tuesday. Romano would not talk and the police have thus far been unable to find any clue that will lead to the recovery of the missing furniture. JAP WON $1,200 AT POKER. Veteran Card Player Taken In by a Valet on S.

S. Carmania, That "ways that are dark and tricks that are vain" are not confined to the "heathen Chinee" was shown during the trip to this port from Liverpool of the Cunard line steamship Carmania, which reached here today, The proof lay in the trousers pocket of one Danka Sanako, the Japanese valet of a well -known New Yorker, also on the Carmania, and consisted of a roll of yellow bill. amounting to more than $1,200 in real American Treasury notes. A sad-eyed passenger, whose name, for obvious reasons, is withheld, but who is said to be a professional ocean card player, walked the decks of the Carmania, and today borrowed a dollar from Danka Sanako to pay his fare uptown, at the same time congratulating himself that the Jap had stopped at his roll and not coveted his watch. The story caine out when the valet went to the cabin of his master and was seen to be crowding a roll of bills into his pocket.

"Where did you get that money?" queried the master. "I change him from English money," replied the Jap. "Well, where did you get the English money?" persisted the master. "Oh. I win -him from the honorable Amerlean magician of the cards.

He not can play the honorable poker vare good," said the Oriental, placidly, Investigation resulted in the knowledge that the American, who went over on the Lusitania and hurried right back on the Carmanta, had coaxed the Jap into poker game of freezeout and the Jap rad calmly beaten him at his best tricks. taking every cent the American had with him and then lending hie foe a dollar for car fare, HURLED THROUGH SHOWCASE.

MISS STRACHAN WINS AFTER BITTER FIGHT Ousts Miss Ennis as Secretary of Interborough Association of Women Teachers. MISS POWERS IN HER PLACE.

Meeting Was a Lively One From Start to Finish-250 Members Participate in Row, The Interborough Association of Women Teachers held its annual meeting last night in Manhattan, at which, in words of one of the teachers present, the following happened: "We just had a row at the annual meeting, and the row culminated in the throwing of Miss Isabel Ennis out of the secretaryship, a position she has held ever since the organization Interborough, and the election of Miss Lillian I. Powers to All her place." The meeting was held at the Metropolitan Building, Twenty-third street and Fourth avenue, Manhattan, and lasted until nearly midnight, behind closed doors. Two hundred and fifty odd mem- Miss Grace C. Strachan. berg were present and had "a real interesting time," according to the teacher quoted above.

The fight was between Miss Grace Strachan, president of the Interborough, and Miss Isabel Ennis, its secretary. It was a fight to a finish, adjourned from time to time from other scraps. Miss Ennis is one of the teachers who helped organize the Women Teachers Association. From its start, six years back, she has been its secretary. She has been one of its "big three" in all the fights it has waged for equal pay.

Her arguments were always the scenic features of those fights. She was one of the main factors in securing its final victory. But Miss Strachan wanted her turned down, according to her friends, and the fight was on. Nominating Committee's Slate Was Broken. A circular sent out to the members on Monday carried a list of officers named by the nominating committee to be voted for at the meeting.

Instead of the name of Miss Ennis, that of Lillian I. Powers was down for secretary. Usually the ticket nominated by the committee is elected by a show of hands, and that ends it, and it was attempted to have it that way last night. Miss McCann, a Manhattan principal, the association's parliamentarian, said that a written ballot should be cast and that nominations of others to fill the offices were In order. This caused a howl.

Miss Honor Quinn, 8 Brooklyn principal, and chairman of the committee, argued for the committee's ticket, but it was decided to allow nominations from the floor. Miss Strachan called Miss Quinn to the chair. On taking the chair, Miss Quinn called for a vote, and several of Miss Ennis' friends attempted to get recognition. All those present Were now on their feet, and the interest in the proceedings was intense. Hisses followed every attempt to get Miss Ennis' name before the meeting, and at times several were talking at once.

Then came the spark that caused a conflagration, Miss Strachan mounted the platform and got the ear of the meeting. Sho opened on Miss Ennis by reading a letter which the latter had sent to her tome time ago, and then charged the secretary with insulting the Interborough by writing it. In substance the letter ran: 1911) "Just one year ago this month (May, the Board of Education adopted the equal pay policy. We have no equal pay in the elementary schools. It 19 great wrong to sacrifice the teachers in the elementary schools to high school teachers and principals.

I ask what has been done for equal pay for the teachers in the elementary schools and what does the association Intend to do. It 18 time that this association made some effort for the elementary school teach- ers." Miss Strachan in Bitter Attack on Miss Ennis. Miss Strachan made a bitter attack on the writer, contending that equal pay had been secured, that the letter indicated disloyalty to the Interborough, and was an insult to it. This brought Misa Ennie to her feet. She defended the letter and attempted to that the present maximum of $1,800 in the elementary schools was not equal pay, because the men, under the old Davis law.

were getting $2,250. Miss McCann got the floor after Miss Ennis had finished. and said that while she thought the writer of the letter was wrong. still she was ready to admit that "adjustments" in the elementary grades were yet to be fought for. A Brooklyn teacher arose and made the point that the admission of "adjustments" needed.

practically sustained the contention of the writer of the letter. All this time the teachers were standing with craned necks to gat every word uttered, and from time to time got up) demonstrations against Miss Ennis. The vote showed Miss Powers to be the choice of the meeting by A very large majority, A teacher who it worked for Sties Ennis contended that was not a real test of strength between the two women, calling attention to the small attendance, also to the alleged fact that the deposed secretary had done absolutely nothing to secure a re-election, that the movement was only a show of loyalty by her friends present, DIAMOND DEALER ARRESTED.

The expenses of the Mayor's office were before the budgetary committee today at the hearing called in the City Hall. The estimate of executive's, office for 1913, together with the estimates the Bureau of and Bureau of Weights, and Measures, foot up to a total of $254,837.50, as against $209,608 allowed for 1912. the increase, which amounts to $45,229, only $1,000 is in the executive office over which the Mayor presides. The only increase in the Mayor's personal staff goes to Robert Adamson, secretary to Mr. Gaynor.

His present salary 18 $6,500. The committee will have the estimates for the Supreme Court before them on Friday. Today there were many small changes, mostly increases, talked over in connection with the Mayor's office and the departments directly under him. The Bureau of Weights and Measures asks an increase of $5,200 for wages for temporary employes, while Chief Wallace of the Bureau of Licenses asks an Increase of $27,320 for Manhattan and the Bronx and $3,900 for Borough of Brooklyn. Mr.

Wallace wants five new inspectors of complaints at $1,200 and five inspectors of dance halls at $1,200 a year. These are necessary, It 18 explained, in order to carry out provisions of law enacted during the year, which impose the duty of enforcing them upon the bureau of which Mr. Wallace is head. One new employe is asked for at $720, two new employes are asker at 8 total of $3,600, and four at $1,200 each. The Standard Testing Laboratories ask for $62,136, as against $34,700 for 1912.

The actual increase over the amount expended for 1912, however, is not so large as it seems, for $20,686 was raised by the sale of special revenue bonds during the present year, to help defray the cast of maintenance. The estimated cost of supplies and materials is $22,940 under that of 1912. An increase of $6,655 is asked for machines, etc. New employes asked for include one fue engineering chemist at $2,100 engineering chemists at $1,800, $1,500 and $1,200, respectively, and a stenographer and typewriter at $1200. From the budgetary amount asked for it it proposed, too, to pay the salaries of a fuel engineering chesist at $1,800, another at $1,500, two junior engineering chemists at $1,200, three coal samplers at $1,200, and a director a all of these grades having already been establishel by the Board of Aldermen on July 10, last.

The grade of director was established at $4,500. For the Staten Island Association of Arts and Sciences, $9,912 is asked, as against $9,480 for 1912. For the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, only $4,250 is asked as against $7,500 allowed for 1912. The item for maintenance is decreased $3,500 for this department, a $250 increase being allowed for the salary account. The Board of Building Examiners asks $11,750, an increase of $2, 250.

of this amount $1,450 is for an increase in teh number of sessions of the board, the members of which are paid for each gession they attend. It is proposed to increase the number of sessions from sixtyone to eighty-two, and to add $750 to the salaries of employes. For the Examining Board of Plumbers $6,045 increase of $30, is reqeusted. The Commissioner of Licenses estimates his 1913 expenses at $52,660, which is $200 higher than the amount allowed for 1912. The Board of Elections asks $1,329,775, that amount being $127,600 over the figures for this year.

The sum of $112,600 additional is needed, the board claims, for election supplies, now much more expensive than under the old order of things. The sum of $36,000 additional is requested for wages to be paid election officers at primaries. Eight employes at $7.50 are now required for each polling place at primaries. Heretofore four offcers at $5 each were regarded as sufficient. AMERICAN SCULPTOR HONORED.

READY NOW FOR SUBWAY WORK Will Start Construction at Many Points as Soon as Operating Contracts Are Ready. WILLCOX HURRYING THINGS. Chairman Anxious to Complete Preliminaries Before Term Expires, February 1. With $40,000,000 available for immediate subway construction, the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company is only waiting today the completion of its operating contract to begin the building of the new transportation system which means 90 much to Brooklyn. Colonel Timothy S.

Williams was asked today where the first construction work would be done by his company. "Our plan is," he replied, "to begin work at many points, 50 that the entire system can be brought to completion and put Into operation as speedily as possible. The effective operation of the entire system is what we are after, the value of the parts depending upon their assimilation into the whole." "Will the company be ready to operate into the Centre street loop aS soon as the contracts are signed?" "Not immediately," Colonel Williams said. "It take six to nine months to put the loop in condition for operation." "How about the Fourth avenue subway?" "I should not say that that is in quite SO favorable a position as the Centre street loop," was the reply of the railroad president. "Will work be begun on the reconstruction of the elevated "That will be included in the general plans for starting the new system at as many points as possible." Under the terms of the operating contracts to be signed by the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company, and the Interborough Rapid Transit Company, the traction companies will be required to operate sections of the new system as they are completed.

This would provide automatically for the operating of the Fourth avenue subway as soon as it is in shape to be operated. Chairman William R. Willcox pointed out this fact today and further emphasized the point that the Commission was hurrying all of the preliminaries to the signing of the contracts. There can be no doubt, whatever, that Chairman Willeox is hurrying the work in the Commission all that he can. His term of offlee expires Feb.

1, and he is naturally anxious to have the big subway work cleaned up before any question of his retirement comes up for consideration. The Fourth avenue subway, It was said at. the Public Service Commission today, is practically completed so far as a num ber of the sections are concerned. Other sections. a8 the Ashland Place cut, for instance, which were started considerably later, owing to the delay of condemning the property are not nearly done.

The sections now practically completed have been done in two years. The Commission estimates that two years 1s proper time to allow for the later sections. This would mean that the Ashland place section will be completed in a little less than another year. POSTAL BANKS FLOURISH. Deposits in Brooklyn Grow From $41,753 to $845,238 in A Year.

Like the historic cow which started the great Chicago conflagration, an ordinary tabby cat 1g under suspicion of having over some paint pots which knocked started 8 rapid fire in the four -story frame double tenement at 25 street early today. Twenty-four familles were driven from their homes Into the cold during the progress of the fire. Kate Flaherty, who lived on the third floor with her mother and brother, awoke at 4:30 a.m., with the odor of smoke in her nostrils. She began to shout, and in a few moments doors swung open on every floor and thinly clad parents led their: little flocks out in the halls. There were many children in the building.

Abraham Cohen, who works In his father's bakery at 22 Floyd street, saw spurts of smoke shooting out of the doorway and windows of No. 25 at about the same time that Kate Flaherty's cries echoed through the building. Abraham hustled to the nearest fire box, at Park and Nostrand avenue, and pulled the hook. On the second floor of the building lived Edward Haddock, his wife, Delia, and five children. They were Edward, 14; Lawrence, 12; James, Joseph, 6, and Walter, Mr.

Haddock soon saw that the stairway was impossible as a channel of escape, SO he herded his little flock and piloted them to the front of the house. Then he proved himself a real hero. A narrow ledge stretches just under the second floor windows. Haddock climbed out on the ledge and felt with one foot until it touched a window sill of the house next door, No. 23.

Then he braced himself and one after another passed his wife and children across the gap to safety. Mrs. Carrie Roller, who lives next door, received them all and made them comfortable. Haddock was not the only citizen hero. Another was Thomas McCabe of 30 Floyd street, who heard Kate Flaherty's yells and, slipping on a pair of trousers, ran over and carried out Mrs.

Mary Schumacher, a cripple, from the first floor. When the fremen arrived Captain Mahoney of Engine No. 30 saw that they were to have their work cut out for them, and he sounded a second call, bringing Deputy Chief Maher to the scene. The fremen worked valiantly, but the frame tenement was gutted, causing a loss of $5,000. ARRIVED ON S.
