RALPH AV. HAS A SENSATION. Fellow Had Been Trying to Break Into a Saloon--Held Without Bail in tion were lined up at 2 o'clock this mornThe officers of the Ralph avenue staing before the sergeant's desk to receive orders for the morning, when they were startled by the pounding of a club in the immediate neighborhood of the station. In answer to the alarm they tumbled out of the door to investigate the cause of the trouble. They were amazed to see a man running full speed 10 the direction of the station, from Broadate way, with Officer Walter Stanwise at his heels.

As the approached the corner of Quincy street Ralph avenue he turned suddenly and headed down Quincy street toward Patchen avenue, with Stanwise close behind. The other officers followed Sergeant Koenig, who weighs 260 pounds, became so excited that he stumbled over the curbing and rolled at full length in the gutter. The chase continued. As the men passed the engine house on Quincy street, the firemen slid down the joined the officers in the chase. windows all along the pole, and, block were raised and inquiring faces peered out into the blackness of the night to watch the men as they rushed by.

At the corner of Patchen avenue and Quincy street Officers Hanson and Or O'Rourke headed the man off and Stanwise closed in and nabbed him by the collar. When the men marched back to the station house with their victim all the windows along the street were illuminated. The man had been discovered by Officer Stanwise trying to enter the saloon of Louis Mertz of 1306 Broadway, within sight of the station house. The policeman's attention had been called to two men trying to open the front door of the saloon with A bunch of keys by Mr. Tucker, who keeps a poolroom at 1298 Broadway.

officer stepped in the doorway of Flaggenheimer's store at Lexington avenue and Broadway and watched the men at work. One of the men paced up and down the street to give warning if any one approached while the other sought to open the door with the keys. A man proached and the two separated. One of the men walked down the street and passed the doorway where the officer was standing. Stanwise pounced upon him and with his club raised told him not to utter a sound.

After searching the prisoner, to make sure that he carried no weapons, he motioned to Tucker, who was standing in the doorway across the street. Stanwise gave the prisoner over to Tucker and started toward the saloon, hoping to capture the other man as well. He found the man standing before the open doorway of the saloon waiting for his partner's return. The man saw the officer and turned and fled down Ralph avenue. The other prisoner had got the best of Tucker and had made his escape.

After pounding his club on the pavement. Stanwise followed the second man as he was the nearer. At the station house the prisoner gave his name as Frank Bruer of 197 Evergreen avenue. Some of the officers had seen his photograph in the Rogue's Gallery and were familiar with his history He has been charged with felonious assault and stabbing and last September he was brought to court charged with being a pickpocket. His real name is said 10 be Frank Hoper and his correct address 309 Evergreen avenue.

RESOLUTIONS. RESOLUTIONS. Freeident, M. Meeker, GRIWESY, LIKE A PIRATE, RAIDS GRAN PA'S VESSEL Steals $850 Out of Grandma Grimes' Hoard and Goes to See Buffallo Bill. TAKES HIS FRIENDS ALONG.

Just as the Indians Appear Ruthless Detectives Make an Attack From the Rear. Grimesy had been telling the gand that he was going to the Jamestown. Exposition, and when they jeered at him and doubted the question of ways and means, he looked wise and asserted that he was no piker and no fakir and that he would prove it. And he also declared that if the other kids behaved themselves he would see to it that they go, too, for Grimesy had vicious designs on Old Grimesy, that good old soul, who is not dead at all, by a long shot. Old Patrick Grimes is Grimesy's grandpapa, and he has the Avery Van Buren, a spacious canal boat, which carries grain in bulk to the steamships and the gran aries.

It was not especially on his grandpa that Grimesy had designs, for the old man was only an incident in the matter of Grandma Grimes, the economical member of the canal boat household. Grandma, Grimesy knew, kept a lot of money in a tin baking powder box somewhere in the kitchen galley of the Van Buren, and the blessed child had made up his mind to swipe Grandma's hoard, the savings of ten years at least. Grimesy had seen Grandma at the box, and had a notion where he could And it when he wanted it. He remembered with startling distinctness the fact that there were "U's' 01 some of the bills, and that they had yellow backs. There was a lot of money there--he knew that from conjectures in his father's household--and he had a plan to get hold of it and take the gang to Jamestown.

The young villain is Joseph Grimes, aged 14 years, and he lives with his parents at 033 Clinton street. The gang numbers three more, to-wit, Henry Guilfoyle, aged 16 years, of Luquer street: seph Codder, aged 15 years, of 710 Henry street, and Thomas Murdock, aged' 14 years, of 89 Fourth place. They are all in knickerbockers and each has a most innocent look on his face. Grandma Grimes, indeed, had a notion that Grimesy might have sat for one of the Raphael cherubs, if he had lived when Raphael did. She was very fond of him once, and she is still fond of him, because she thinks that the doings of Sunday and yesterday were partly the result of an unconquerable impulse of curiosity and partly because he bad been led astray by wicked boys--a foolish idea of grandmas generally, all over the world.

It was on Sunday morning that Grimesy confided his plan to two of the other boys, whom he invited 08 confederates. They were Codder and Murdoch, and the scheme was to sneak away from Sunday school and get over to Hoboken, where the canal boat was lying at the foot of Washington street, where they would linger until grandma and grandpa got to bed and were asleep. The cabin window was easy to unfasten, and Grimesy said, heroically, that he would do the job all by his loneys, and that their part was simply to share in the divvy. It was 9 on Sunday night when the time for the deed was ripe. The lights were out in the cabin.

and Grimesy, with full knowledge of the bome life of grandpa and grandma. felt assured that the old -people were by that time in their fourposter, snoring away with easy consciences. Grimesy slipped off his shoes then and climbed in through the window. He went by instinct to the tidy cupboard. where the tin box lay, and he lifted it out in the dark and opened the lid.

He abstracted every bill he could find there. leaving nothing at all for his progenitors. The three sneaked away at once and did not go home. They found Guilfoyle, who seemed to be the most innocent of the lot, and they gave him a five -dollar bill and told him that they "would take care" of him. He WAs with them yesterday morning.

and the four went down to Coney Island to have A day's joy. The money had been divided up before that among the three, and each had his wad of bills. They spent the small bills first, and had a gay time at Luna Park. Then they returned. late in the evening.

to Brooklyn, and got to the borough proper in time to visit Buffalo Bill's ble Indian show. Murdoch was worrying about his home folks, and he did not go to the show at night. If he had there might be nO complete story to write about the incidents of yesterday. But the other three went there, and they bought 55-cent seats, which did not sult them. as it did not get them near enough to the Indians, and so they threw away their tickets and bought new ones, for $1.50 each.

They had Just begun to enjoy themselves when they were arrested, and that is another part of the story. There had been a One furs in Hoboken about the robbery, for grandma did not Imagine that her own grandson was the criminal, and reported the matter to the police A plain burglary, But picione began to grow when Grimesy reported as having been away from home all night, and not only Grimesy's parents were worried almost to death. but foyle's and Murdoch'a and Codder's, They had all met and there was A suspicion that the four boys were off somewhere together. The police were notifed, fist at about the time that the police were told the robbery, and Lieutenant Peter McCormick and Detective Fred Lynch of Acting Captain McCauley' detective burgau were sent out make an investito Ration.

ORIGINAL ACT DEFECTIVE. Mortgages Now Considered Nearly an Ideal Investment- What the Amendments Actually Prescribe. The amendment to the mortgage tax, last signed yesterday by Governor.

Hughes, and which provides mainly that mortgages made -prior to July 1, 1906. when the mortgage recording tax law went into effect, may be ineluded in the provisions of the statute, are regarded by real estate interests generally as having accomplished the 'purpose of the original bill and as being highly advantageous. The law enacted last year provided for a tax of one -half of 1 per to be paid at the ti'ne of recording all mortgages which were made after the law became effective, and exempting them thereafter from taxation as personal property. This law, however, was regarded by many as defective, as it made no provision for mortgages recorded prior to the law. It was at the time proposed that the original law include a provision making it possible to pay a recording tax on a mortgage made prior to July 1.

1906, but the law was finally passed, despite many objections, without this provision, which has, by the new amendments, now been made. It was found after the recording tax law became operative that the only manner in which a mortgage made prior to the law's enactment could be brought under the provisions of the act was to cancel the mortgage and issue. a new one, a matter involving considerable difficulty and expense. The amendments now incorporated into the act permit the payment of a tax, equal to the recording tax. 011 an old mortgage.

and it is now possible for a mortgage holder having a mortgage made at any time prior to the law of 1906, to have his investment made exempt from personal taxation upon the payment of the tax of one-halt of 1 per cent. In the view of the title companies the amendments of 1907 make mortgages as nearly perfect an investment as it is possible to have them with any tax provision at all. The law, as now amended, applies to three classes of mortgages, those recorded on or after July 1, 1906; mortgages recorded before July 1, 1906, upon which advances were made or principal accrued after July 1, 1906, and mortgages recorded prior to July 1, 1906, which are voluntarily brought under the operation of the law. The amount of the tax is 50 cents on each $100 and each remaining fraction of the principal debt, and 50 cents for any mortgage under the sum of $100. Any contract or agreement by which the original mortgage is increased is also taxable at the same rate.

Executory contracts for the sale of real estate, recorded after July 1, 1905, under which the vendee has, or is entitled to, possession, are deemed mortgages for the purpose of the act and assessable for the amount unpaid on the contract. Supplemental mortgages to correct or perfect recorded mortgages are exempt from additional taxation, if the exemption be claimed in a statement under oath. The tax must be paid when the mortgage is recorded and if the property be situated in more than one county must be paid to the recording officer of the county where it is first offered for record. Mortgages securing obligations other then the payment of money and not expressing any maximum amount, are taxed upon the value of the real estate covered. With trust mortgages, if the entire indebtedness -secured has not been advanced at the tim of the recording, statement must be made at the end of the mortgage of amount which at the time of tecution has been advanced and is then secured by the mortgage, and the tax payable Is computed upon the amount so stated to have been advanced.

Subsequent advances must be panied by a statement be verified and fled in the office where the mortgage was first recorded. Taxes upon amounts subsequently advanced are payable at the time of the advance. Mortgages recorded prior to July 1, 1906. under which any part of the elpal is advanced after July 1, 1906, are taxable upon the amount advanced after the latter date, Prior advance mortgages, on which the tax war paid before the amendment remain exempt and no tax need be paid 1fpon advances hereafter made, Mortgages recorded before July 1, 1906, unless voluntarily brought under the eration of the law, are neither subject to the provisions of the new law nor entitled to exemption. All such mortgages are subject to such taxation as may feet them the hands of the holders.

No satisfaction piece, release ment nor extension agreement of any mortgage on which the tax has not been paid may he recorded. nor, unless all the tax shall have been paid, shall be reevidence or a Judgment of foreclosure be entered ypan or the debt which be enforced by secures ment. The provisions of the law of 1905, prohibiting agreements by mortgagors the tax hare been repealed. The taxes imposed in the 1905 law are still due and payable when the same were and on or before June or 30. 1906, RAIDED A CRAP GAME.

BELIEVED TO BE NO STRANGER Called to Door From Bed, Strangled and Her Money Stolen-Dead Hours When Found.

(Special to the Eagle.) Freeport, L. May 14-Circumstances surrounding the death of Mrs. Elmira Simonson; the aged widow of Hewlett Simonson. who was found in her home yesterday by her daughter, Mrs. Phebe Herbert.

points strongly, her relatives and others believe, to murder coupled with robbery. A careful examination of the body has disclosed blue marks on the throat, made by human hands, and scratches by finger nails, extending toward the breast. On the back of Mrs. Simonson's right wrist are marks from finger pressure. The right hand was clenched when the body was found and the left arm doubled, as if she had attempted to strike a blow and at the same time ward off another.

Several blood spots were found on the kitchen carpet near the body. These spots are believed to have come from a pimple on her face which was opened during the attack on her or from the scratches on her neck. The aged woman was attired in her night dress when found. She had apparently hastily slipped on her shoes to answer a call for admittance at the front door. An outer storm door was shut, but unlocked, when Mrs.

Herbert, the daughter, found her mother. The inner door was partially ajar. Mrs. Simonson lay on her back, with her head toward the door of the bedroom in which she slept off the kitchen. The face bore an expression of fear.

The first impression that something had happened to Mrs. Simonson was given Mrs. Herbert yesterday morning, when she looked across the street toward her mother's house, saw the front shade of the west kitchen window down, an unusual circumstance, and the half curtain of the southwest kitchen window not drawn back, as was her mother's custom when she arose in the morning. When Mrs. Herbert reached her mother's home two lamps stood on the kitchen table, but both were out.

Mrs. Simonson usually burned a light all night, especially if alone. Only a dim light was seen in the house by her relatives on Sunday night. As the aged woman had been dead from five to ten hours when found, her assailant, it is believed, extinguished the lamps before leaving the house. Mrs.

Simonson was seen looking out of the kitchen window at 815 Sunday night. The last member of the family to call on her socially on Sunday afternoon was Mrs. Eddie Leighton, a granddaughter, who visited her at 5 o'clock. Mrs. Simonson appeared well and happy at the time.

Mrs. Herbert was to visit and spend the night with her mother on Sunday, as was her custom, but company at her own home compelled her to forego the visit. The theory of foul play is strengthened by the absence' of money which the aged widow was known to have in her possession. The amount is not exactly known, but is believed to have been at least $50. This was usually kept in a skirt pocket, tied up with shoe strings.

The skirt was found on the foot of the bed and the bed clothes disarranged, indicating she had retired and arisen to admit the caller at her door. This caller, it is belleved, demanded her money, and, after being refused, attacked her, left her unconscious or dead on the floor, took the money and fled. There is a beliet no stranger committed the crime. $1.70 was found in the house after that diligent search. This was in pocketOnly book in a bureau drawer.

Nobody Wants Them. The general storekeeper of the Brooklyn Navy Yard is in a quandary. as to what to do with a dozen tombstones that lie in a heap on the coal dock of the navy yard. These tombstones have been lying in the spot for the last ten Chief Carpenter J. A.

Barton, who years. has been detailed by the captain of the yard to clean up the government reserve before the advent of Admiral Goodrich, who will become commandant, to succeed Admiral Coghian, on June 1, has asked that the stones be removed. But where to store them is the puzzling question. The department has no 180 for them, yet it cannot very well dispose of them, an it is holding the grave era in trust, as it were. Ten years AgO one of the ships brought from Cavite, Philippine Islands, a number of that had marked the graves of stones American soldiera and sailora who had their death in the islands.

NEW YORK GOOD FOR THE PICKPOCKETS. One Industry Thrives Under the Street Traffic Conditions Existing. Magistrate Green, in referring to the number of pickpockets arraigned before him day after day, to said, at the Tombs Court, Manhattan, "Traffic conditions account for the influx of pickpockets from all parts of the country. attracted hitherto by the opportunities afforded. If the amount of property, in money and jewelry, lost in these crushes every day were made known it would startle the pubhe.
