OTHERSWAIT TILL TO-MORROW of Magistrates Lively At Meeting Session Is Expected -Kempner Standgs by Charge. The statement of Chief Magistrate that some of Kempner made yesterday in the Second Division the magistrates are not competent to occupy judicial positions, has started what promises to be the meeting of the board a warm fight at when it meets to to-morrow afternoon consider the capabilities of the appliof probation offcants for the positions cers ordered to be appointed by Judge While the magistrates are not Maddox.

willing to publicly state their opinions of the printed interview with Judge of them privately took Kempner, some decided exception the strictures on their ability to fill the position. Several of the magistrates this morning when asked to express their views, replied: "Nothing to say at the present time." Magistrate Harris was the exception. He said: "I know he did not mean me." There was, however, an undercurent of resentment, which several intimated will come out at the meeting to -morrow. When the board meets there will likely be a dispute as to whether it will be an open or executive session and several will insist on its being open. The only magistrate who has been willIng to go on record as opposing the action of Judge Kempner is Magistrate Hylan, who has sent the 'following letter: 6, 1910.

Hon. Otto Kempner, Chief Magistrate, Borough Hall, Brooklyn, N. Y. Dear Sir--I read an article in the Brooklyn papers to-night, which, if you are quoted correctly, is a most grievous reflection upon every Magistrate In the Second Division. I can hardly belleve that you are quoted correctly, as such a statement, coming from a judicial officer, is so unjust and unfair to those Magistrates considered in the category of having "true me and rendering excellent judicial service." NoW can one who is unjust and fair in accusations which cast a reflection upon innocent persons, be capable of rendering good judicial service himself? You have a public duty to perform.

The public is entitled to know who these Magistrates are that are weak and unworthy spectmens in the board, also to atate in what respect they are weak and unworthy, and prove your accusations or resign. Your respectfully, JOHN F. HYLAN. "I stand by all I said in the printed interview," Magistrate Kempner said, when asked for an opinion on the letter from Hylan. "It is quite likely to come up at the special meeting to-morrow, and I am for an open session, where the 'dirty linen' in the board can be washed publicly, and I will use my best endeavors to have the meeting open to all.

I have held for some time that there were matters in connection with the usages and customs of the magistrates which are open. to censure, and that was the reason that I went as far as I did in my published interview." Another who favors an open session, is Magistrate Geismar, who, in an interview to-day was unwilling to commit himself on the strictures of the chief magistrate, but said that he was sure the matter would come up at the meeting and that there would be a fight to have it kept an executive session. "I certainly favor an open meeting on this matter and all others which the board has to deal with," Magistrate Geismar sald. "The members of the board public servants, and the public know what they are It was learned to-day that the last meeting the board was held behind closed doors in spite of then protest of several the magistrates, that this will be the first feature to develop at the coming session. At former meetings.

Magistrates Kempner, Harris and Geismar have usually voted together, with Magistrates Tighe, Dooley and Hylan often in the opposition. The members from Richmond and Queens have been divided, but usually favoring the rulings of the chief magistrate. The committee to which was referred is expected to make its recommendation, the applications for the probation officers, but the members were not willing to torecast what it will be. OBITUARY Samuel V. D.

Cowenhoven. Funeral services will be held to-night at his late home, 228 Norwood over the remains of Samuel V. D. Cowenhoven, one of Brooklyn's pioneer hardware dealers, who died from the effects of a serious surgical operation, on Saturday, and whose death was briefly noted in Sunday's Eagle. Mr.

Cowenhoven was a grandson of Tunis D. Cowenhoven, the original owner of the old Cowenhoven Farm, which once comprised the biggest part of the territory now bounded by Willoughby street, Atlantic, Hudson and Franklin avenues. was born sixtyseven years ago, in the Cowenhoven homestead, at Classon and DeKalb avenues. Graduating among the early pupils of Public School No. 11, on Washingavenue, he entered the employ of Joseph Howard.

He afterward entered the employ. alternately, of J. C. Brower, at Myrtle avenue and Cumberland street. and Aston, Throckmorten in Manhattan.

Subsequently he helped establish the latter firm in Brooklyn, at 639 Fulton street, and later took over the business under the firm name of Jackson Cowenhoven, and continued it for over forty years. The father of deceased, William H. Cowenhoven, was one of Brooklyn's best known lawyers. Two characteristics of the deceased were rugged honesty and a natural simplicity. From his earliest years in the hardware business he had made a practice to show as much consideration to a customer buying a package of tacks 88 to the purchaser of an extensive bill of goods.

DurIng the financial panic a few years ago, when many of his business neighbors were pinched for ready money, Mr. Cow- COALITION IS AHEAD BY VERY NARROW MARGIN Results of English Elections Are Still on See-Saw Order.

N. L. Shaw. WIFE OF A YEAR A SUICIDE Mrs. Q.

Brown Hangs Herself at Her Home. Uses Girdle of Her Dressing Gown to Form Noose-Husband Finds Almost Lifeless Body. Using the tasseled cord of her dressing gown with which to form a noose, Mrs. Mabel Drake Brown, 28 years old, committed suicide early this morning by hanging herself from a hook on the inside the bathroom door at her home at 582 Pacific street. With her husband, Herbert Q.

Brown, she lived at her mother's home. About 6:30 this morning Mr. Brown awoke, and missing his wife, went to the bathroom and tried the door, which he pushed open with diffculty. Entering the room he discovered his wife suspended from the hook, her feet within an inch of the floor. Life was not entirely extinct.

He cut her and carried her into the adjoining bedroom. Dr. Bull of 46 Fourth avenue was summoned, but Mrs. Brown was dead when he arrived, a few minutes later. The young wife had been married only about a year, but had been in poor ehalth recently and her act is ascribed to temporary insanity brought on by her sufforing.

Besides her mother and husband she la survived by three sisters, all of whom are school teachers, and by one brother, William, employed in one of the city departments. The last that her family saw her alive not seem despondent nor appear to be was at 9 o'clock last night, when she did suffering, except from a headache. RIDERS FALL BEHIND.

Around noontime many fans who had an hour off for lunch and would rather watch the grind than eat made their way to the trackside, and the riders, in order to give them a little idea of what they could do, set a faster pace.

Suddenly Georget jumped the bunch and was a quarter of a lap ahead when he was discovered. There was a wild chase that lasted about five minutes, but Puchois, picking up his partner, was not equal to the occasion. and he was soon back with the rank and file. Shortly after the sprint the team retired. It was while Puchols was on the track that his team lost its laps.

The Frenchman was aroused this morning to lieve Georget. his partner, and he complained of feeling ill. Dr. Cox, who ined him, said that he appeared to be in fairly good shape, but after being on the track for a short time it was evident that the rider was ailing. Then began furious sprints led by Thomas, Moran and McFarland, and when the smoke had cleared away it was found that eight laps had been lost by the foreigners.

All during the early morning the ridere kept ahead of the old record, but between 11 o'clock and noon the hold on the mark was lost. When the noon score was posted it was discovered that the men had fallen six laps behind the record of 739 miles, hung up last year by Cameron and Krebs. OFFICER MULVIHILL STRICKEN.

Prisoners Who Ought to Be in Hospi. tals Herded Like Cattle, He Reported. Chief Magistrate Otto Kempner has called the attention of Mayor Gaynor to inadequate accommodations at the workhouse on Blackwells Island, and to the fact that a number of women in need of medical attention are herded together in crowded cells. The chief magistrate's letter is based in a report made by Magistrate Moses J. Harris, who recently inspected the workhouse and the penitentiary.

What he saw there led him to write his letter to Chief Magistrate Kempner. The letter was as follows: Hon. Otto Kempner, Chief Magistrate, Second Division, Borough Hall, Brooklyn. Dear Sir--Pursuant to the provisions of section 107, article vii of chapter 659 of the laws of 1910, on the 29th day of tober, 1910, I visited the workhouse and penitentiary on Blackwells Island, and I beg to report the following tions made by me, and the following recommendations: I found the and penitentiary well lighted, workhouse, ventilated well kept. The cells, buildings, outhouses and various attachments were all exceptionally clean and the officers and wardens in charge deserving of commendation in this respect.

As to the workhouse, I found the accommodations, however. totally inadequate to meet the demands made upon it, every cell 8 by 10 feet. containing five and six cots and every cell used to accommodate five or six prisoners. This congestion is increased as the cold weather approaches, to such an extent that, as the warden informed me, the ac. commodations of the prisoners became entirely inadequate, and many of the prisoners are compelled to sleep on the floors of the corridors of the workhouse, provided only with a pillow blanket.

This congestion now existing and becoming worse with the approach of coli weather is subject to the severest criticism. Some method should be devised in the immediate future of providing sumcient accommodations for the prisoners, so that not more than two should be confined in any cell." Magistrate Harris then continues, that in September, 1910, forty-eight women were committed to the island who were in need of medical attention. He pointed out that the law provided that the should commit such women to a public hospital. Forty -eight Women Committed in September. "These forty-eight women so committed during the month of September, 1910," he wrote, "were confined in cells in the workhouse, five or six in each cell; they' were not permitted to leave the cells day or night.

This in my opinion, is entirely wrong. The provisions of Section 79 do not contemplate the herding together of five or six women in a cell. "This should be corrected at. once by the immediate installation of a warden in the City Hospital under the charge of a capable matron, where these unfortunates could be suitably and properly treated The existence this condition of affairs during the period of their imprisonment. is subject, in my opinion, to the severest criticism and should be immediately remedled." Magistrate Kempner wrote to the Mayor: "It seems me that the evil: described by Judge Harris of a serious nature and call for appropriate action by the authorities "May I ask you to call the attention of the Commissioner of Corrections to the report for such action as may be deemed necessary under the circumstances?" Section 79, which Magistrate Harris refers to, provides that a medical examination be made by a woman physician of the Board of Health after conviction of the offender.

Two weeks ago this question was brought before Justice Bischoff in the Supreme Court on a writ sued out in behalf of a woman whose case had good one, it unconstitutional, inasbeen acted on the Night Courted Justice Bischoff held that, while was a much as the medical officer making the examination was not judicial officer, and, after her report had been rendered, the woman had no opportunity to give testimony in her own behalf.

HESTER Tomorrow His 75th Birthday and Event Is Remembered. HEAD OF FAMILY OF 600. A Few Speeches, an Autograph Book and a Set of Studs Figure in Proceedings. Colonel William Hester. the head of The is no secret about the fact.

emEagle family, is 75 years old, and. there ployes of The Eagle and the heads of departments remembered his birthday, this morning, and gathered in the editorial rooms on the seventh floor of The Eagle Building to tell Colonel Hester that they thought he looked young for his years and to voice the hope that he would live many years longer to continue in command of them all. There were representatives there from of The Eagle service, from the every part editorial rooms, financial and business department, the composing rooms of the news and job branches, the news dethe of information, the partment, advertising department, the job office, the press rooms, the stereotyping rooms, the Long Island Bureau, the branch offices here and in other cities, the news room, and the associates of Colonel Hester in the directorate. The Eagle people did not tell Colonel Hester of their intention in advance, and SO it came about that the ceremony of congratulation was a complete surprise to the veteran newspaper man. His birthday is to-morrow, but he had rounded out his 75 years to-day, and at noon the Eagle folk gathered to do him a slight honor in return tor some kind things he had done for most of them.

Colonel Hester keeps in touch with all of his employes-there are six hundred of them it was natural that the attendance should include from the most important in The Eagle's direction to the most insignificant; from the youngest to the oldest. Veterans who had worked with Colonel Hester when he was learning the printing art to the most recent ol the boys in the messenger service, gathered in the room, and there were many of the women workers of the paper there. George F. Dobson Breaks the News. Colonel Hester was brought into the room with his son.

William V. Hester, William N. Dykman, the legal representative, and Herbert F. Gunnison, the business manager. There was a handy chair in the center of the group of employes, and the colonel was asked to sit down.

He looked a bit puzzled, and seemed to wonder what about to happen. George F. Dobson, the managing editor. briefly explained things as follows: "Gentlemen--You know why we -have somewhat summarily taken Colonel ter into custody, to be dealt with after a fashion compatible with his misdemeanor, which is that of being much younger than his years. "There is one rule to which there are no exceptions.

We have all done things we ought not to have done and left undone things we ought to have done. That, therefore, there are no sins of commission and omission in the life of William Hester cannot rationally be said, but I know of no man who can become retrospective with much greater safety. sumably, like the rest of us, he has his regrets and certainly he has had troubles of his own-I think I have been one of them.

"Ladies and Gentlemen: You know this is very unexpected. It catches me, of course, unprepared to say anything. The pleasure of it is overpowering. To hear George Dobson quote Shakspeare is more than a surprise. "In reference to the number of men and women employed about here: that worries me a great deal.

because I used know the face of everyone I passed. but now I do not recognize them all. I do not see quite so well as I used to, and I often pass many by, whom I do not recognize. I do not want to do that, and I want everyone to recognize me. My sight is good enough to help me recognize those who have been here many years, but you have grown too fast for ine.

"I do not think I can say any more than reiterate that it is unexpected and a great pleasure, and that I will appraciate it as long as I live. Why, if there was anything I really did want, it was pair of pearl studs. hope that each succeeding year will find us together. Of course, many of 118 have been dropping out, and not so long ago a member of the staff up here passed away. I suppose that my time will come, and I will have to go, too, but I will keep my head up high till that time." TERRAZAS IS GOVERNOR Made Acting Executive of the State of Chihuahua, Mexico.
