Manhattan and Brooklyn Men Raised Ructions on N. Y. and Q. C. Trolley Car.

Magistrate Gilroy, in the Long Island City police court this morning, did not approve of the plan of carrying a beer keg and glasses aboard a crowded trolley car, then proceeding to have a roistering drinking bout, as one of the forms of Sunday amusement in Queens County. He expressed his disapproval in the form of long jail sentences upon four young men, alleged ringleaders in the amusement, when they were arraigned before him. They were Joseph M. McCourt, 18 years old, of 600 East Seventeenth street, Manhattan; Andrew Delaney, 29 years old, of 534 East Seventeenth street; John J. Boylan, 22, of 400 First avenue, and Edward Landy, 25 years, of 806 Driggs avenue, Brooklyn.

According to the testimony of Lawrence Metzger of 55 Fifth street, Long Island City, conductor on a New York and Queens trolley car, these men and about a dozen others got aboard a trolley car bound for Manhattan about 8:30 o'clock last night. They brought the beer keg and glasses with them, rushed the keg to the front platform and then proceeded to distribute its contents. Metzger and his motorman hustled the keg from the car, but it was again carried aboard. So riotous had the car become by this time that about fifty of the men and women on the car got off and started to walk to Long Island City. At the car barns at Woodside police were called, and the four prisoners, who seemed to be ringleaders, were arrested.

The prisoners, in their defense, denied that they had anything to do with the beer keg. McCourt, Delaney and Boylan were given three months the county jail, and Landy was given thirty days.

EXODUS OF WEALTHY JEWS FROM THE CITY OF KIEV Panic Will Probably Not Subside Until Ritualistic. Murder Is Explained. AUTHORITIES ARE IN CONTROL. High Officials Sent to Investigate Killing of the Christian Boy, Yuschinsky. St.

Petersburg, May 15-The Central Government to- dispatched M. Zaitseff and M. Fenenko, high officials of the Ministry of Justice, to Kiev, to Investigate the mysterious murder of the Christian boy, Yushchinsky, whose death has been made a cause of 8 threatened massacre of Jews in that city. Kiev, Russia, May 15-The ability of the authorities to preserve public order yesterday, the date reported to have been set for a Jewish massacre, has had a reassuring effect upon Jewish populaNevertheless, the exodus of the more wealthy Jews continues, and the panic will not completely until the circumstances alleged ritualsubside, istic murder have been explained and the responsibility for the crime fixed. On February 28 last the body of a boy named Yushchinsky was found, horribly mutilated, in a cave close by the Jewish suarter, of age, this a city.

Christian, The and boy a Was student 13 at the local Orthodox Seminary. Certain circumstances of the killing, linked with inability of the authorities to detect the murderers, resulted in the charge by their enemies that Jews had made the youth a victim of a ritualistic murder, an alleged religious ceremony which has been the subject of controverey, of allegations and denials, for centuries. An examination of the body showed that it had been cut in forty-five places with a knife and an awl. A post mortem by Professor Obolinsky determined that the victim had been tortured, and all the wounds inflicted before life was extinct. His hands tied and a gag in his mouth, the boy had been held upright as the blood flowed downward.

Seven deep stabs in the region of the heart finally put an end to his agony. When death ensued the stripped body was reclothed. The fact that there were no blood spots on the clothing led to the claim that all the blood had left the body before the cutting was ended. When discovered there were no signs of decomposition. Professor Obolinsky and Dr.

Tufanoff ascertained that the body had been removed to the cave five or six hours after death, but before muscular rigidity had set in. The supposition based thereon was that Yushchinsky had been tortured and murdered somewhere in the neighboring Jewish quarter and the body deposited in the cave at daybreak, as the rules of the incriminated Jewish sect Hassides are alleged to forbid the burial of ritualistic victims. DURYEA'S BODY CREMATED. Ashes of Famous Invalid Interred in Family Plot at Glen Cove, L. I.

CELEBRATE GOLDEN WEDDING. Father Vincent Sorrentino's Parents Were Married Fifty Years Ago To-day. Solemn high mass was celebrated this morning in the Church of Our Lady of Loretta, the Italian Catholic Church, at Pacific and Thatford streets, in honor of the golden wedding anniversary to-day of Mr. and Mrs. Alfonso Sorrentino, parents of the Rev.

Father Vincent Sorrentino, rector of the church. The bridegroom of a half century ago is now 76 years old and his wife six years his junior. They were married in Naples. The father remarked to his son to-day that he had never spent a cent 011 doctor's bills in his life. His wife has enjoyed health almost equally as good.

For eleven years they have been keeping house for Father Sorrentino. At 1 o'clock this afternoon there was a golden wedding breakfast in the rectory, Besides a number of Italian priests who were present, there were seated at the tables the aged couple's seven children, 20 grandchildren and two greatgrandchildren. This afternoon there was a reception at the rectory and to-night there will be another. Nearly 100 of the parishioners of the church attended the solemn high mass this morning. HIS PAPERS NOT RETURNED.

Man Without Hands Wants Them More Than Money. C. J. Hoag, a man without hands, who lives at 15 McDougal street, has not recovered the money and papers which were stolen from his person by "the meanest man," on a trolley car on April 28. Mr.

Hoag advertised his loss in a newspaper last week, and a report was published this morning that the thief had returned the property. Mr. Hoag came to The Eagle office to to deny that the conscience of "the meanest man" had been awakened. The story of Mr. Hoag's misfortune, as published in The Eagle last Wednesday, was widely copied, and Hoag has retry expressing sympathy.

Hoag says ceived letters from all parts, of the counthat the papers stolen were of importance to him alone, and that their loss has interfered with his bread-winning to scme extent, and that the thief may keep the money if he will only return the papers, particularly a memorandum book. Mr. Hoag lost his hands in a train wreck in 1872. He is employed by a wholesale paper company in Manhattan, and has built up a large trade salesman in Brooklyn. TURNS DOWN EBBETS' OFFER.

A dispatch from Chapel Hill, N. states that President Ebbets of the Brooklyn Baseball Club has been making strenuous efforts to sign Raymond Lee, the strong pitcher of the Carolina University team. Lee has had a most suecessful season. He received a flattering offer to join the Superbas, but prefers to have another year of amateur sport before taking up professional baseball. He will be back next year with Carolino to study law.

COMPLAINS OF CITY BATH. Shaeffer Writes to Woody, Alleging Ill-Treatment. Frank J. Shaeffer of 550 Walton street lodged a complaint to-day with Superintendent Howard L. Woody of the Bureau of Public Buildings and Offices, against "ill -treatment," which he stated in his letter had received at the municipal bath Montrose and Union hear avenues.

The letter stated that Mr. Shaeffer had recently visited the bath house and. that the management had subjected him to 111-treatment. He said he had been made an object of ridicule and scorn because of some trivial matter. He charged also that he had been grosely insulted.

and that a number of his acquaintances had experienced similar treatment at this bath house. Mr. Woody said he would investigate the complaint. REULBACH'S LAST CHANCE Chicago Pitcher Must Win Today or Quit the Cubs. Cy Barger His Probable Opponent in the Box--Tinker Suspended.

Dahlen's Problems. Sentiment seldom enters into baseball and when a player's usefulness to a club 1s over there is little hesitation in getting rid of him or releasing him. Today's game with Chicago at Washington Park will have an unusual interest attached to it on account of the fact that on the outcome depends the future of Big Ed Reulbach. This twirler, who has been so long an important part of the Cubs' pitching staff, must win or he will be dropped from the roster of the champions. Many a hard earned victory has Reulbach turned in to the credit of the Windy City aggregation, but wildness that he does not seem to be able to control bas rendered him ineffective.

At least, this is the opinion of Manager Chance. Boston, Cincinnati and Brooklyn, however, are still willing to take him. The veterans of the Chicago Club who have been with Reulbach SO long will work their heads off in to-day's battle in an effort to save his position for him. Opposed to Reulbach will by Cy Barger, who seems to be about the only twirler on whom Brooklyn can depend. Barger'9 last appearance was against St.

Louls and he twirled the only victory that the Superbas got from the Cardinals. The local players seem to put up A much stronger argument behind Barger than with any other twirler in the box. Cy also adds a lot to the hitting strength of the Superbas when he is officiating on the mound. One feature of Saturday's brilliant game against the Cubs was that Captain Hummell found his batting eye. Every fan will be pulling for John in the hope that the change is permanent.

With Hummell hitting, several of the many recent defeats would have been saved. The outfield problem is one that 1s worrying Manager Dahlen great deal. Wheat is a fixture, but it seems hard to settle on a center guardian, while Bobby Coulson has a little to learn in regard to fielding. Coulson, however, is a valuable man on the bases and he pulls off quite a few timely bingles, while his throwing abilities hold runners closer to the bags. There were very few regrets at Washington Park Saturday afternoon when Messrs.

Klem and Doyle packed up their suit cases preparatory to inflicting their decisions on some other suffering public. No pair has had a more strenuous time at the local grounds in several years. President Lynch has assigned Messrs. Johnstone and Eason for to-day's game and there will be much rejoicing at the change. As a result of his little run in with Umpire Doyle on Saturday Joe Tinker of the Cubs has been given a three-day rest by Lynch.

This will mean that the Chicago infield will contain only one veteran-Chance. Zimmerman will be at second, Shean at short and Doyle at third. CONTRADICTIONS CITED But Not Solved by an Industrious and Devout Correspondent. Editor The Brooklyn Dally Eagle: If it is true, and it is true, that the church and the clergy, generally, is not within a row of apple trees right and adequate apprehension of the real truth of the Bible and religion; if such reality of truth is now readily and finally obtainable on the hard and fast basis of determinable and demonstrable fact; if it should then appear that such reality of truth and fact 1s, as it irrefutably is, the most natural and the most important thing in the world, do not you think the secular press could find it interesting, wise and profitable to much space as is devoted to pugilism or devote to the subject, say, one as 'baseball? Would not a way be opened to the removal of the present fear or disinclination on the part of the press to tackle religious matters hitherto so fraught with considerations of doubt, conflict and want of harmony and satisfaction God is One and Religion (His Revealed Truth) is One. There are no two ways of truth per se.

The fault is not therethe fault is with miseducation, erroneous training, growth and development, and misinterpretation. Fault there is, and serious fault, otherwise we would not see such diversity in religious belief, faith and practice. Were it not for such diversity, such woeful lack of wisdom, such actual foolishness on the part of leaders and teachers who have lost or fail to heed the chart and compass of life, duty and action, there would not be so wide a disparity among the well meaning church systems, sects and denominations. Many of the ablest and most noted of the "divines" are working at cross pur poses, even flatly contradicting one another, and the unwisdom, the abject foolishness thereof is plainly apparent when you show, if you please, and you can if you will, the regaining of the long lost or departed from chart and compass of guidance in right living and doing. Note a few of the widely published recent conflicting statements by those able men: "The Flood was an actual "The Deluge was a mere fairy "The whale swallowed "A whale never did or could swallow a "Anyone should be condemned for questioning the literal fact of Elijah and his chariot ascending bodily into "The incident of Elijah and the chariot was a spiritual lesson of great interest and value when "The Bible is literally true from beginning to "The Bible is founded on "The Bible read literally is contradictory, seemingly, throughout, yet when truly interpreted according to the spirit within allegory, symbol and parable, it is peerless harmony and "The Christian religion is the only God -made religion, all others are man- "The Christian religion is "There never was or will be other than one refor God is One and that is "Jesus was greater than "Jesus was simply a good man, and our "The only way of being savel de through the blood of "There is 110 way of attainment save through overcoming self and the world-'by your works are ye known' have no use for that old-fashioned out- idea ef "Faith is the true foundat on of ete.

is not this matter worthy of deep and careful consideration? Reform comes from without. The secular press can accomplish wonders. The religious press 13 practically dead and can do nothing. ARTHUR P. DODGE.

PARENTS SEEK ANNULMENT. Want Marriage Declared Void on Ground That He Was Only 17. Girl Behind Prosecution. old, Simon was Cohen, arrested who to-day is not, yet 18 Policeman years McCaffery of the Adams street squad, on a charge of perjury. The complainant Simon's wife, Rosie Cohen, of 212 East Seventieth street, Manhattan, who charges that when he went to the office of the city clerk in Brooklyn on June 24, 1909, for a marriage license, he swore that he was 21 1 years old.

The afdavit was made before Thomas Maher, one of the clerks in the office, and Maher's affidavit is joined with that of Rose in the complaint against Simon. Cohen was not 17 at the time of the marriage, although he was a husky boy and looked as if he had reached his majority. The wedding was in a sense a runaway match and did not please Cohen's relatives. His father is a retired manufacturer, living at 333 Central Park West, and the lad had all the money he wished, and Was rather wild, it is claimed. After the wedding the pair parted.

Simon, junior, was sent to Paris to forget Rose, and Rose went back to her par-ents on the East Side. Recently, the Cohens brought suit for the annulment of the marriage, on the ground that the boy was a minor at the time of the wedding and was not responsible for what he was doing. The suit is brought in the name of Simon, through a guardian, and in the papers there 'is an affidavit from Simon in which he says that he has not as yet reached his majority. When the papers were served on the young woman her friends became indignant and they prepared to make a fight. The first thing done was to proceed against Simon criminally on the ground that he had committed perjury in the license clerk's office and the result was that the case was brought the attention of Magistrate Kempner and the warrant was issued.

Officer Owen McCaffrey was sent 10 Manhattan to make the arrest. He found that the boy was living with his parents in handsome apartments on Central Park West. The prisoner gave his occupation ag "clerk." but it is understood that he is practically in business with his uncle, who is also well-to-do and that there are plans for his starting for himself. He says that he has recovered rrom his infatuation for Rosie and that he is anxlous to have the marriage annulled. Simon pleaded not guilty to-day to the charge of perjury and he was held 111 $500 bail for his appearance in court for a hearing on Friday.

POLICE GRILL SUSPECT IN WHITEFORD CASE Man Examined Held on Charge of Vagrancy in Default of $1,000 Bail.

DETECTIVES HARD AT WORK. Many Detained, but Only One Held for More Than an Hour or So. A number of suspects in the case of the murder John Whiteford, the aged saloon keeper of Willoughby and Jay streets, have been detained by the police for an hour or two, but the first to be gruelled and held as a suspect is John J. Kelly, who was arrested yesterday atternoon. The charge made against him this morning in the Adams street court was one of simple vagrancy, but Chief Magistrate Kempner had been told the police were not satisfied with the stories he had been telling and wanted time to look up certain information they had about him.

Lieutenant Vachris of the Italian squad in Manhattan had a long conference with Assistant District Attorney Elder on the case this morning and then went back to Manhattan to look up some new points. Kelly was arraigned before Magistrate Kempner, pleaded not guilty to the charge that he was IL vagrant and was held in default of $1,000 bail for his a p- pearance on next Wednesday morning. Kelly is 41 years old, is stockily built, with hands that are abnormally large and strong, and he had a furnished room at 112 Lawrence street. He admitted that he was in the saloon early Friday morning, the day of the murder. The arrest of Kelly was made after Lieutenant Vachris, who is the head of the Italian detective bureau in Manhattan, had imparted some information to Deputy Commissioner Dougherty.

It is understood that Vachris got some information about Kelly through a relative in this city. Dougherty called Acting Captain Coughlin of the Brooklyn detective force into consultation, and the regult was that Detectives O'Connor, Downey and Cunningham were sent out to look for Kelly. They learned that he was well known in the neighborhood, and had not been working for some time. It was about 3:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon when they came across him, and they took him immediately to local headquarters on State street. Then they sent for Deputy Commissioner Dougherty and he and the prisoner, with several of the detectives, took possession of Deputy Commissioner Booraem's room at the State street headquarters and Kelly was submitted to a close questioning.

The man had hardly been asked one question when he said that he had "an allbi," although he had not at. that time been charged with anything in connection with the murder. He made several references to "alibis." "What do you mean by talking so much about alibis?" Mr. Dougherty asked the prisoner. replied the prisoner, "I thought I maybe might be suspected of this thing, although I had nothing to do with it, and I just thought of some of the people who had seen me early on Friday morning and who could corroborate my statements to you." Kelly said that he is a weigher by occupation.

He has not been doing much work since last summer, when he was employed A8 3 watchman for the Pennsylvania Railroad over at the Bergen Hill cut. According to the police Kelly said that he last saw Whiteford alive shortly after 1 o'clock on the morning of the murder. "When did you first hear about the murder?" the man was asked. "It must have been about 2:15 o'clock that said Kelly. "I met a little boy named Leo.

I don't know where he lives, but is often out In the early morning, and he told me that there had been a man murdered down on Willoughby street. I next heard of it in Manhattan, where I bought a paper about 11 in the forenoon. I had gone to Manhattan to look for work." GOLFERS TIE IN HANDICAP.
