Brownsville and East New York the Scene of Exciting Incidents in Labor Squabble, If anybody is inclined to laugh at the barbers' strike as something more or leas humorous, the grins turned to seriousness today, after a night in which the strikers played hob with law and order and one policeman was 80 roughly handled that he is in the Bradford Street Hospital.

The barbers started parading last evening, through the Brownsville and East New York districts, whenever the procession halted it was at a shop where knights of razor and the shears were still busily lathering and scraping bearded chins. "Come out and join us!" was their call, and the working barbers stopped shouting "Next." to climb on the band wagon. With fresh recruits flocking to their ranks steadily, the strikers became boisterous, and at length they reached the corner of Liberty and Milford streets, boiling with excitement. They were 50 noisy that a squad of police from the Miller avenue station was called out to disperse them. Nine were arrested and arraigned in the New Jersey avenue police court today, where Magistrate Voorhies held them in $100 bail each for examination 011 May 20.

Trouble of a more serious nature 00- curred Liberty and Elton streets. There, Policeman Oscar Jones threw himself a crowd and tried to break it up. A fying brick struck him on the head and felled him. Policemen Bulger, Cordes and Gussler ran to his assistance, but they had a hard time of it. They arrested six men, who, like the others, were held for examination in the New Jersey avenue court.

When Jones was picked up it was found that he bad sustained lacerations of the scalp and possible internal injuries. About a hundred striking raised a. disturbance in the Gates avenue section today. The paraded, called at the various shops and requested other barbers to quit. At Gates avenue near Ralph is a shop from which they induced one man to qut.

Then they marched on to the shop of Victor Baraglio at 1020 Gates avenue. The police, under Captain Kreuscher, turned out to keep the peace, and they made the barbers move on. Baraglia ordered the strikers out of his place and the sidewalks were kept clear all over neighborhood. Fifty Strikers Use Moral Suasion Downtown. About Atty of the striking barbers paraded shortly before noon today up and down Atlantic avenue, near the Long Island Railroad depot.

They attracted a crowd, the policemen. busy at the crossings, did not interfere with them, tor they were not at all disorderly. They simply gave 3 show of force and by moral suasion alone, it is claimed, forced some of the working barbers in the nearby shops to put off their aprons and join with them. One of the stores 011 Atlantic avenue, almost across the way from the railroad devot was emptied. There were other shops on the avenue where the men were persuaded to leave their chairs.

but in one or two of the places the men refused to go. As far as rioting was concerned, there could be no complaint. according to the policemen about, who said that the men did not 10853 in their parade, made no threats. and behaved with unaccountable observance of the peace. SMOKE CASES GO OVER Magistrate Nash Doubts His Authority to Try Corporations.

Magistrate Nash is not willing to take the Corporation Counsel's say-so that the city magistrates have the power to try corporations for violations of the sanitary ordinances. The order went out the other day, backed by the opinion of the Corporation Counsel, that the magistrates might be a court of almost final resort in the trial of cases where corporations were violating the sanitary ordinances in burning soft coal in their factories. Hitherto the matters had been referred to the Court of Special Sessions for trial there, but the Corporation Counsei indicated that under Section 95 of the Inferior Courts act defendants might be tried and that there might be fines imposed by the magistrates. There have been two complaints daily, for a week, against the Edison Electrical Illuminating Company, for using soft coal at its factory on the river front, and there is an accumulation of complaints against the corporation. The first of the I complaints was to have been on trial this morning and a score of residents along the river front.

Dr. J. J. Colgan, who has been prominent in the fight against the burning of soft coal near his home, was very angry over the delay. Assistant Corporation I Counsel Kehoe came into the court at 11:15 and Dr.

Colgan at once proceeded to rebuke him for his tardiness. After all the fuss the went over fo ra week, because Lawyer Glen M. Congdon of the law Arm of Hatch Sheehan. representing the Edison Company, raised the point that the magistrate had no right under the law to deal with the case. Judge Nash took the same view.

BROWNE'S NEW BUILDING. After Fifty Years of Good Work It Is Rejuvenated. The delightfully airy, light classrooms constitute one of the most attractive features of the new Browne's Business College Building, at the junction of Flat- bush and Lafayette avenues, into which the old school has lately moved. With its record of fifty years of excellent work behind it, the institution has become completely rejuvenated, and starts again with a new lease of life, with new surroundings, entire new equipment, and under new conditions of the most favorable sort. The building itself is fireproof, with the newest safety device, a fire tower, to make assurance doubly sure.

This tower 1s entirely separated from the main floors and is entered only from the outside fire escapes. Students could descend with perfect safety, though fire might rage on every floor of the school. Among the newest devices installed are an interior system of telephones, electric, self-winding clocks, programme bells, a separate equipment for evening students, so that there can be no interference with day pupils, and a delightful roof garden, with a high parapet, and suitable for basketball or other games, O1 for a lounging resort. Minor conveniences are racks in every room for students' clothing, arrangements for locking up the evening students' equipment, abundant drinking water and private rooms on every floor. CONEY BOARD WALK UP FOR HEARING Controller Announces He Favors General Wingate's Plan as Against Others.

IT IS MORE ECONOMICAL. Would Construct Walk Between High and Low Water Marks. Controller Prendergast stated frankly at the hearing on the Coney Island board-walk proposition by the Board of Estimate Committee of which chairman, thath he had been favorably impressed by the Wingate plan to build breakwaters and "make-out" the beach along the Coney Island water-front and run the board-walk between high and low water marks as against the city's tentative proposal to run it A above A highwater. think its a better suggestion than our plan," he declared, "for not only does it appear to be more economical but it also takes into consideration the addition to the beach, and our plan makes no provision for the rehabilitation of the beach at all." The Controller told Walter E. Warner, who appeared at the head of a delegation from the West End Improvement League, that while the committee might consider any plan less expensive, it tively would not consider one more expensive than one it has already advanced.

Mr. Warner had objected ticularly to the Wingate plan and said that while the members of the West End Improvement League considered the committee's plan preferable to that, they still thought that the league's original plan calling for the acquisition of a 160- foot wide strip of upland for the boardwalk was the best of all. Almost two score were present at the bearing in the Controller's office before the committee, consisting of the Controller. President Mitchel of the Board of Aldermen, and Borough President Steers. The principal speakers were General George Wingate, representing the Sea Beach Land Company; James W.

Nelson, president the Sea Beach Land Company; former Controller Edward M. Grout, representing Charles Feltman, Samuel L. Whitehouse, representing Mrs. Emily Huber, who owns part of the Steeplechase Park property affected; former Assemblyman Charles F. Murphy, Magistrate John F.

Mylan, Alfred T. White, Alexander McKinny, W. D. Niper, Dr. Abraham Kern, Walter E.

Warner and former Alderman Francis P. Bent. Mr. Nelson declared that he represented 4,442 feet, over half of the proposed frontage of the boardwalk, and that he and the owners he represented favored the Wingate plan and were ready to give easements to the city if it were adopted. Mr.

Bent, Mr. Walters and others criticized the idea of building the boardwalk walk below high- mark on account of the tremendous action of the waves, which have frequently carried away parts of the island. Dr. Korn also critleized the plan for this reason and pointed to the fact that portions of the Atlantic Beach and Manhattan Beach boardwalk had formerly been carried away by the sea's action. Even if the walk should not be destroyed the tremendous spray that would at times break Over the walk would render it inadvisable.

he declared. Controller Pendergast admitted that the city's plan would involve the destruction of a good deal of property now built up to high water line. General Wingate declared that this plan would cost between $5,000,000 and $6.000.0000. His plan would not cost more than one-tenth of this sum, he said. Many of the speakers protested against the proposal to levy the entire assessDient on the adjoining property owners.

Alfred T. White favored the construetion of the walk between high and low water mark. It was his opinion that no action should be taken on the boardwalk until the city reclaims themerked concourse lands. Mh. Bent declared that the boardwalk would give Coney Island business men not 120 business days a year, but an allyear -round resort.

FORGERIES BANKRUPT WIDOW Mrs. Fielder Indorsed Checks Bearing Previously Forged Indorsements. Her indorsement of checks and drafts upon which previous indorsements were forged forced Mrs. Minna Fielder, a widow who keeps boarders at 889 Greene avenue, to file a petition in voluntary bankruptcy in the United States District Court today. She alleged liabilities of $3,623.48 and assets of $625.57.

All or the liabilities were the result of indorsing checks and drafts which were drawn on the Corn Exchange, Union, Williamsburg Trust. First National. Hanover National, Chase National and Merchants National Banks. How it all happened was told in the following briet paragraph in her pelltion: "These obligations arose upon the indorsement by the petitioner of certain checks or drafts made payable or indorsed to Sennabel Brothers. It appears that the indorsement, of Schnabel Brothers, which paper when delivered to.

and indorsed by, the petitioner, was forged and the petitioner has become liable to subsequent holders upon her warranty of title." The firm of Schnabel bel Brothers consists of Richard A. Schnabel and William I. Detrald. The petition states that in most of the instances where Mrs. Fielder indorsed these cheeks, the last holders have obtained judgment against her.

SWORD DUEL FOUGHT IN PUBLIC Wounded Man Will Engage in Another Combat on Recovery. Paris, May 7--A severe sword duel, arising out of a quarrel three years ago, was fought today between H. C. Berger, son of the Paris deputy, and Georges Breittmayer, both noted fencers, on the lawn of the Chateau d'Orly, about seven miles to the south of Paris, and resulted in M. Berger receiving a serious wound in the right breast.

As, under the French law, no duel may be fougut in secret, the combat was witnessed by fifty well -known Parisians and a large body of reporters. M. Breittmayer afterward visited his wounded opponent at his home, with the permission of the surgeons, and a ciliation was effected. The duel had been delayed owing to the marriage of M. Berger.

A short time since he quarreled with another man and challenged him to fight, but according to the French code of honor the duel could not be fought until he had first crossed swords with M. Breittmayer. The second duel probably will take place as soon as M. Berger has recoverd. OBITUARY NOTES JOHN EDSALL.

May 7-Last week the women of Cornell University started rowing practice on Beebe Lake. Everyone went to work with zeal. in spite of the scorching sun. and competition for tions on the class crews runs high. As is the case in every event at Cornell, Brooklyn has a number of representatives.

Merle Mosier, '14; Frances Rosenthall, '16; Natalie Thompson, '14, graduates of Girls High School: Sara Barclay, '15, and Bertha Wood, '15, of Manual Training High; Margaret Merriss, '14, and Marie Townsend, '16. The final races are held on "Spring Day" in June, and at that time the shores of Beebe are thronged with interested spectators. The Sage Raven and Serpent, the honjorary junior society, on Saturday morning, at 1 o'clock, aroused ten unsuspecting sophomores to bid them to membership for the coming year. Brooklyn claims two of the ten--Sara Barclay of Manual and Alma Wichelus of Girls High. The ten girls are those who have done most for their class and are its most representative members.

Instead of a regular annual stunt, the seniors at Sage College entertained the university women with a May Pole dance. The fete was held on the girls athletic grounds, and was a pretty sight. ZULUS' TASTE TURNS TO CIVILIZED MUSIC African Savages Keen for Melodious Tones of Jewsharps. MADE IN LARGE SIZES. All Sorts of Unique Contraptions Are Manufactured in the City of Birmingham, England.

London, May 7-Birmingham, England, is one most noted manufacturing cities of the world. Its unique pore sition has been told by the London Times in the following interesting article: The pre-eminence of Birmingham in the manufacture of guns, jewelry, pens and is known over the world, bedsteads, number of small articles are also produced, some of which are of a decidedly curious character, and for which the Birmingham maker has to some extent created his own market. For example, it is not generally known that Birmingham is the principal source of the world's supply of jewsharpe. For sixty years industry has been carried on in the vicinity of Ashtedrow, the venerable quarter of the city, by niem3. bers of the Troman family.

Originally, the industry came from Halesowen, and the jewsharps are still made in little home smithy strongly reminiscent of its Black Country origin. Great Britain is no longer the best market, erormous quantities being exported. especially to half-civilized countries. The Zulu musician. for example, has taken very kindly to the jewsharp.

and needs a specially large size to suit nis somewhat capacious mouth. Another survival is the trade of beating, which, it is claimed, is one of the oldest in the city. To 22 large extent this trade has gore to Germany through the competition of cheap labor, but it is claimed that the best gold leaf is still made in England. The work is done entirely by hand, and the customary sign is the picture of a gilded arm bearing a hammer poised for the blow. The leat is hammered out in small home workshops from 24-caret gold, but is first sent to the rolling mills.

whence it is returned in long, thin robbons nehes wide and one -thousandth part of an inch in thickness. Then it is ready for the beater. The ribbon is generally cut off into small squares, weighing about six grains. The thin square is placed in the center of a vegetable parchment pad, consisting of 100 sheets on top and the same number beneath. This 1s beaten with a 14-pound hammer.

and the gold, when considerably reduced in thickness, is placed between leaves of goldbeater's skin, that is, skin prepared from a thin but tough membrane found in the large intestine of the OX. Eight hundred pieces of the hammered leaf are arranged over each other, between leaves of the skin--the whole being placed hetween parchment bands and beaten for a couple of hours with a 7-pound hammer. Then the 800 pieces are cut U1 into 3.200 pieces and again beaten. When the work is done the leaf is one fifty. thousandth part of an inch in thickness and almost as light as air.

An odd custom is invariably to preserve the leaf for sale purposes in old Bibles and ments, and enormous quantities ot these sacred books are used for this purpose. There are not many goldbeaters left now in Birmingham, but a generation ago there were many factories. the largest of which employed 300 hands. Police Whistles, Handcuffs. Artificial Eyes and Ambulance Goods.

The city has probably a larger share than any other center in the equipment of the policeman. In regard to police whistles. it is known that one Birmingham firm ha3 equipped more police forces in all parts of the world with whistles than any other firm. The whistles are made largely of German silver. but.

occasionally, especially for presentation purposes. they are of solid silver. They are often artistically engraved. and a really "show" whistle is a very handsome production. Great quantities are sent to the United States, as well as to South America.

India, Canada and the colonies. Handcuffs, manacles and other Instruments of detention have for many years been a specialty of Birmingham manufacture. The manufacture of artifcial eyes is distinctly a Birmingham industry, and it has been highly developed. A stock of 5,000 eyes is regularly kept by the most Important firm in the industery. One family has been engaged in this manufacture for generations.

Eves are sent to all parts of the world, and British hospitals are especially good customers. Generally, a patient can be equipped for about $10. An important branch of the business is the supply of ornamental eyes for animals and birds for decorative and other purposes. In recent years considerable improvements have been made in artificial human eyes, adding to their appearance and increasing the comfort of the wealers. The manufacture of ambulance fittings and equipments has also made great progress, and at least one firm claims to be the largest furnishers of such goods in the Kingdom.

Production of Oil Stoves, Paints, Enamels and Grandfather Clocks. The city has the largest oil -stove factory in the world. It covers three acres, and finds employment for 500 or 600 hands. Of late the favorite store has leen one furnished with a vicklesa lamp. which appears to be the latest ment.

Several firms have sprung up for! the manufacture of carriage and motorcar lamps. Ag a center for the auction of paints, varnishes and enamels, Birmingham occupies either the second or the third position in the country, Hull being recognized as Arst, and either London or Birmingham second. The trade has received a great impulse from the demands of the -car trade. The improvements in the making of white enamel, which in really pure white, nosseases a fine luster, and is very durable, has set up a great demand for this product. and the value of aluminum paint aS a coating and preservative material for metals has developed a Dew branch of the industry.

Another industry is that of clock making, the production of curious and exceptional chronometers being decidedly a Birmingham specialty. Many big chiming clocks and bells are produced in Eirningham, and there is a large demand for grandfather clocks, especially from America. Hand Organ Factory--Trade in Human Hair-Coffn Furniture and Tinfoil. A couple of years ago the Italian organgrinding colony of the city WAS made happy by the erection of a factory for the production of street organs. The equipment of the barrel is an elaborate process.

requiring considerable skill, and I the operation of repinning a barrel in i order to change the tunes costs from $25 to $30. There are several large importers of human bair in Birmingham. and one firm alone receives many thousand dollars worth of hair. It comes chiefly from France, Spain, Germany and Russia, though a considerable trade is done in the importation of Chinese heir for the manufacture of watch chains and bracelets. Genuine really white hair is so valuable that it will bring sometimes as much as $25 an ounce.

Other curious products of Birmingham Include coffin furniture and tinfoil, the latter being used to wran chocolate and tobacco. It is produced by roiling tin to such extreme thiness that 13,000 square inches weigh only a pound. AMERICAN COLLEGE ALUMNI MEET HERE Prelates and Priests Attend Annual Gathering and Enjoy Banquet.
