POLICEMAN ALSO BEATEN, Made a Prisoner, the Infuriated Beggar Again Strikes Officer Bbasts of His "Pull." With $18,000 in his pocket, Graham Murtha of 159 South Ninth street was stopped at the corner of Fifth and Have- myer streets at 6:30 this morning by a man, who said: "Glvo me a quarter." Murtha refused, and the man hit him. Policeman Nikly of Bridge Precinct who was attracted by the row, was also hit before he managed to make the assailant a prisoner. Five minutes later, before the lieutenant's desk in the station, the man who had said he was Frank Fage, 28 years old of 1B5 Broadway, lilt Officer Nlkly again.

"You won't hit me back, he sneered, r' I'll get at you through the public officials." Magistrate Tlghe, In the Manhattan avenue court, before whom Page was arraigned later In the called him a dangerous character and hold him in $1,500 ball, on a charge of assnult and attempted robbery, aud $500 on the, charge of assaulting a policeman. Mr. Murtha la a member of the Murlha Schmohl Company, dealers In building materials, whose-mnin office is at the foot of Fast One Hundred and Ninth street, Manhattan. On Saturday afternoon Murtha made some important collections, which he was unable to deposit because it was after banking hours. This morning when he started from his home for Manhattan he had $5,000 in cah and $13,000 In negotiable securities iu his pocket.

He was passing the corner of Fifth and Havemeyer streets when the man Jumped out of a doorway, and demanded that he give him 25 cents. Murtha tried to shove the man aside; whereat, the man attacked him, striking him in the face with his fist several times. Murtha fought bark, and the noise of their struggle attracted the attention of Officer Nikly, who was pati fling the Williamsburg Bridge Plaza. He took a hand, and after being hit several times himself managed to subdue Page and placed him under arrest. Murtha went along to Ihe police station, and after he had preferred his charge Officer Nikly told ihe lieutenant at the desk that he also wished to prefer a charge ot assault against the prisoner.

An he said this Page suddenly struck Nlkly in the mouth, cutting his lip. Then he dared the officer to hit him back, declaring that If he did he would get at him through the officials, with whom be was acquainted. He mentioned the name of Daniel J. Carroll, a Democratic 'politician of the' Fourteenth Assembly District. "He'll take care of me." he said, "he's a friend of mine." MAY RENAME ORANGE STREET Dr.

Hillis and Others Favor a Change to "Plymouth." Interesting Discussion Is Expected at Hearing to Be Held Thursday Evening at Borough Hall. Interesting discussion Is expected at a hearing before the, Aldermanic Renaming' Committee next Thursday evening at the Borough Hall, when the names of downtown streets will be considered. The Rev. Dr. Newell Dwlght Hillis and many members of Plymouth Church want Orange street changed Id Plymouth street or avenue.

Alderman John J. Meagher, chairman of the renaming committee, has received several letters from other persons protesting against any-such action. Another matter that it is expected will bring forth a protest from the old residents of the Heights ie a proposition to change the name of Clin-lon street. Letters have been received by the committee urging this matter. It Is expected Dr.

Hillis will attend the hearing. The commit ten has a letter from him In which he urges the change of Orange street, to Plymouth street or avenue. He suggests that Nassau street be made a continuation of the thoroughfare on which Plymouth Church stands. That is where the opposition develops. Nassau street and Flushing avenue appear on the borough map as a continuous thoroughfare.

Chairman Meagher has received a communication from three taxpayers, whose property Is on Flushing avenue, who take iSBue with the proposition advanced by Dr. Hillis. They declare that If there is any change in the name of Orange street and Nassau street, it should be in favor of Flushing avenue. In other words, they advocate the- wiping out of the names Nas-sue and Orange and the substitution of Flushing. It is not expected this will meet at all with the approbation of Dr.

Hillis and the members of his congregation. As an argument In favor of the change of name In Orange street, Dr. Hillis states that pople from out of town have great difficulty in finding his church un-j der present connuions. rreuencs- Hlnrichs has also written a letter advocating the change to Plymouth. The committee is to consider at Thursday night's meeting propositions for chiingrs, where necessary or asked for, in Ihe district bounded by the East River, the Navy Yard, Navy street, Rockwell place, along Flatbush avenue to Atlantic avenue and down Atlantic avenue to tin river.

In tills dislrict there are many street names that are duplicated in other sections of the borough. The committee is revising a list of such streets ns well as the complete calendar for Thursday night's meeting. RANDS OF THE ORIENT WINS. Kempton Park, England.

INTERFERENCE OF THE B. R. T. Subway Above Hudson Tubes In Thirty-fourth Street Would Present Hard Engineering Problems. The contest over Broadway, Manhattan, the crux of the subway situation at present, took another turn to-day, when the Continuous Transit.

Securities Company, of 45 Broadway, Manhattan, sent a letter to the Public Service Commission, asking for a conference on a proposed moving platform from Fourteenth street to Forty Forty-second street, and across town In Thirty-fourth street trim Second to Ninth avenues, to settle the minimum vertical space engineers would allow for the platforms. The letter sets forth that a subway such as is proposed In Broadway by the Brooklyn Rapid Transit. Company, "if above the Hudson tubes at the intersection of Thlriy-fourth street and Broadway, would not only seriously interfere with our proposition; but would make the location of a crosstown subway on Thiriyrfourth street extremely problematical." The Continuous Transit Securities Company la a corporation capitalized at $500,000, of which Max B. Schmidt Is president and George P. Schmidt, Roberts Walker, president of the Rock Island system, A.

I'olhouse Gobb and David L. Gallup, controller of the Alchlson. Topeka and Sanla Fe Railway, are directors. The corporation proposed on June 1, 190ft, to build at their own expense the moving platforms to which they call further attention to-day. At a hearing hi January.

li'10, in support 'of the plan. Cornelius Vanderbilt was among the men who appeared and gave indorsement to the proposal. Cornelius Vanderbilt is a director of the Interborough Rapid Transit Company, and is very active in the affairs of the company. Other men who appeared for the moving platform scheme are Lewis B. Stlllwell, consulting engjneer; General Charles W.

Raymond. V. retired; Edward M. Grout, special counsel; Walter L. Worraii, general counsel; Stuyvesant Fish, E.

P. Riplev, president of the Atchison, Topeka and Sanla he Railroad; Moses Taylor Payne, Gustav Lindenthal and Frederick A. Delano. Coincident with the appearance ot the letter to-day It was understood that ihe Interborough Rapid Transit Company had expressed to the conferees of the city committee and the Public! Service Commission willingness to allow the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company to use the Centre street loop to go. down, to tire Battery, 'as proposed, and to operate a distributing line as far north as Ninth or even Fourteenth street, but no farther.

"If Ihe Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company goes up Broadway, as they propose, everybody from Fifty-ninth street down will use their line," Raid an official of the Interborough Rapid Transit Company today. "The line would cut the heart out of the Interborough system." It Is generally understood to-day that I ho Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company will have the support of the Hudson and Manhattan Railway Company in their fight to get a subway In Broadway, Manhattan. The relations between these companies Is very friendly and the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company's plan calls for a route at Broadway and Thirty-fourth street that feed into the Hudson tubes and make communication between the New Jersey suburbs and Coney Island easy and rapid. BARBER CHAIRS OIL-SOAKED Discovery Follows Fire in Italian's Shop. Policeman Saw the Blaze, and Dam-age Was Only $500 Detective Learns of Insurance.

Fire Marshal Thomas F. Brophy is i Investigating a fire (hat destroyed several barber chairs in the barber shop of Pasqualo Mangiaraclna, on the ground floor of a four-story tenement house at 224 Reid avenue, shortly after 10 o'clock last night. Brophy had Manglaracina before him at Are headquarters to have the barber to tell all he knew of the origin of the fire. Mangiaraclna said he was out of the building at the time, having gone to a wedding with his sis-ter-lu-law and his two children. Policeman Joseph C.

Kichhorn of the Ralph avenue station was passing in front of 224 Reid avenue, last night, when he saw the chairs in flames. He tried (o enUr. but the store was locked. He then ran into the hallway, but the door lending into the hall was also locked. He smashed in the door and alarmed a'l the occupants of the house of the Are.

He then turned in an alarm. When the lire was extinguished the police and firemen investigated and found a chair that, bod not been touched by Are saturated with oil, and on the floor beside it wore rags also saturated with oil. While the police -were making this discovery Mangiaraclna entered, but ho could not give an explanation as to how Ihe chair and the rags became saturated, as they were, with oil. Fire Marshal Brophy was called In and he placed the barber under an examination, but It elicited nothing that could aid Brophy In running down a satisfactory clue. Detective Devanney of police headquarters learned that the Insurance had been placed on the house.

The damage by fire was less than $500. No one was injured. TWO BROOKLYNITES DISMISSED. Special Agents of Excise Bureau to Seek Aid of Court.

The barrels, valued at $02, were seen by a wrtchman in front of the establishment at midnight last n'sht. To pet the barrels away a team and several men must have ben used. State Barge Terminal Conference Favors Plan; Length Is Approximately 3 Miles. COST $1,000,000 PER MILE.

F. S. Gardner Makes Lxplauation of Eis Attitude Toward Jamaica Bay Barge Terminal Project. Tt Is learned that the State Barge Terminal Conference, which will Introduce in the Legislature a referendum Dill providing for state appropriation of for constructing a line of barge canal terminals from Buffalo to Jamaica Bay, intends also lo seek favorable legislation toward the building of a canal connecting Flushing Bay and Jamaica Bay. If tills canal is constructed it will pass through nbout three miles of Queens Borough land.

The cost is figured out by Brooklyn members of the conference at about $1.0110,1100 a mile. The Immense advantages of such a waterway were discussed at the meeting of the conference at Albany on Thursday. When It is built the Brooklyn members do not doubt but that it is going to be sooner or later barges will have a direct mute from the Hudson River, by way of the Harlem River. Flushing Buy and the new canal, to Jamaica Bay. The nearest through water route existing to-day Is by way of the Hudson River.

New York Boy, the Narrows, past Coney Island to Jamaica Bay, or by way of the IL.iletu River, Ihe East River, New York Bay. the Narrows and thence to Jamaica Bay. Proposed Canal Means 25 to 30 Miles Saved. The new canal will mean a cutting off of some twenty-live or thirty utiles. Furthermore, it was pointed out at the conference meeting, the lower Hudson and the East Jtlver are "bee-hives of commercial activity." and thn Harlem lliver.

Flushing Bay and the new canal will afford a safer ro'uto lor barge shipping, the congestion being less. George Clinton of Buffalo, the chairman of the executive committee, offered resolution, concurred in by Nelson B. Eillntcr and Frank S. Gardner of Brooklyn land the other memliers of the committee. that i lie Legislature appropriate to I pay the cost, ot' a survey of the narrowest strip of land lying between Flushing Ray i and Jamaica Bay.

The resolution urges upon Governor Dtx the necessity of ihe construction of this cunal, and points out the advantages to he obtained, not only by shipping interests in the vicinity of tills city, hut also by interests In Ihe Greet Lakes section and In the Northwest, inasmuch as. it was pointed out. Jamaica Bay would he such a gigant terminal eventually, that the shortest direct water route must be provided from Buffalo to Jamaica Bay. When Nelson of Brooklyn and other members of a sub-committee of nine, who drafted the barge canal terminal bill, were engaged in this work the question came up as to whether there should he incorporated into Ihe bill provision for the construction of the canal between Flushing Bay Jamaica Hay. It was deiurleil thnt this was a distinct matter, an enterprise In Itself, and It DIED.

Mrs. Idea that Jamaica Bay should come under the "smaller cities" section THREATENED BY 'BLACK HAND' Grocer and Shoe Dealer Ask Police for Protection. Blackmailing Letters Demanded $1,000 From Each, but Plucky Merchants Decided to Fight. Charles Roma, a wealthy grocer and fruiterer, of 7-- Lexington avenue, Manila! tan, and Michael Mngnold, a shoo dealer, of 300 Fast Fifty-first street. received bla.ckhand letters last week and reported the circumstances to the Italian detective bureau, which has men out trying to locate the ones i who sent the missives.

Roma was so much, disturbed yes terday by the receipt of the letters that when walking in Madison avenue, near Fifty-ninth street, and an automobile tire exploded, he and his wife and two daughters stopped short, sure that the blackhanders were on their trail. When they realized what really had occurred thev were decidedly relieved. A loiter demanding $1,000 and threat- oning death if ihe money was not de- livered was received by Roma on Thins- day. Roma noiiltod the police and did not complv with the demands of the lei- ter writers. Since the receipt ot the; leiter four men have been gauging about; near his store, and Roma Is expecting that a third notice will come to-day, a second with full Instructions having beeu received on Saturday.
