124, at the corner of Fourth avenue and Fourteenth street, and the Holy Family Pa rochial School one block away on Thir teenth street, 4-year-old Robert Kropp, an only child, was run over and killed at 12:15 today by an automobile driven by Leonard Mayers, of 432 East Fiftieth treet. Flatbush, a salesman for Henry Trenchard of 232 Ocean Parkway, who owns the machine. The accident took place on Fourteenth street, about, one hundred feet away from the corner of Fourth avenue, and about three hundred feet away from the child's The driver who was arrested on the charge of operating an auto without having a license, contended that the boy ran In front of his car from the rear of a passing truck, and that the ac cident, was unavoidable. Mayers stopped the car, picked up the injured' child, and together with patrolman Timothy J. Gannon, who was on post in front of the public school, he rushed to the Methodist Episcopal Hospital, where It waa said the boy was already dead.

The Bchool children notified the mother, Ur Ansritflta KrotiD. that her baby had been run over. She ran to the hospital. and when she learned that the child was already dead, she swooned. Dr.

Gilder-sleeve, who had looked over the body of the child, had to fcttend her, but her grief was unconsolable. M. The accident Is one of a long series In which unlicensed drivers have figured, and It Is the third within as many days In. the same neighborhood that has resulted fatally. Yesterday's victim was Maurice Hlckey, the son of the restaurant keeper.

Washington, November IB Progress In ROMANCE HAS ENDED FOR "TOD" ROBBINS Wealthy Young Brooklynite and Woman With Whom He Eloped Now Separated. SHE MOVES TO BAYSIDE. He, in Brookyn, Tells of Adjustment of Affairs Without Court Action.

Clarence Aaron Robblns, popularly and Mr. Robblns said that he did not care to discuss the matter In any way other than to admit the fact of the separation. He refused to the possibility that a reconciliation might take place at some future date and would not disclose any of the underlying reasons for the separa tion, beyond saying that the case might be put down as one of "Incompatibility." "I will simply admit that we have sep arated," said he, "and that Mrs. Robbins went away ahout ten days ago. She is now living at.

Baysidc. There Is an agree ment, which provides that the case will not reach the courts and. under It, Mrs. Robblns is to be provided for by my pa-) rents. I expect to continue on here fo-a few days at the home we took some while ago.

Then I shall go back to live with my father and mother. I expect to go down to the country place shortly. After that I will be found at the Garfield place home of my parents." "Tod" Robblns is now living at 500 Fourth street. The reports of the separation gained currency through the fart that his wife had recently found a new home at Bay Side, L. I.

Wife Moved to Bayside About Ten Days Ago. Mrs. Robbins took up her residence ther about ten days ago, with her two baby sons and two maids. Her husband, "Tod" Robblns, has not been seen In the vicinity at all. Until recently husband and w-ifo had been living at the home of the elder Robblns in Brooklyn.

They went there a few months after their marriage. It Is asserted that the absence from home of "Tod' Robhlns during this time has been a matter of frequent occurrence. When the young Mrs. Robblns lest week came to Bayside, which Is only about three miles from the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs.

Raymond Newton Hyde, at Douglas Manor, the residents of the placo took an exceptional interest in the situation, because of the romantic circumstances that attended the marriage of young Robblns and the then Miss Hyde, "the prettiest girl in Douglaston, L. Young "Tod" Robblns, who was one of the best-known of tlia younger generation of BrooUlynltes because of his prowess as an athlete at Poly Prep and because of the prominence of his father as a cross-country rider and horseman, was then a student at Williams College. It was generally credited that his Interest In the left by bis grandfather, Aaron Swain Dobbins, of Manhattan, would eventually amount to about J2.00U,-000. He first met his bride at the Douglas Manor iv.n, In 11)08, when he Journeyed there with Troop of Brooklyn. Their friendship developed so that they made a trip to Jersey City on Juiy 15 of the following year and were there married by a Justice of the Peace.

The ages of the bride and bridegroom were given at this time as 18 and 22 respectively, but Miss Hyde was said to be really only 16 years old, and her husband was said to be less than four years her senior. The fact of mar rlage was not disclosed until more than five weeks later on August. 25, 1909. On their honeymoon trip the couple went down to Virginia and it is under stood that both attended school there for awhile. The arrival of their first son put an end to further educational plans.

Recently "Tod" Robblns became Bome-what of a figure through the publication of a novel written by him. The book Is called "Mysterious Martin" and Is written In a compelling style. It deals with the life of a college student, and 's credited with reflecting Its writers' experiences at Williams and at Washington and Lee I'nlvfrslty which he attended after his marriage. No one is at home at present at the home of the RobblnseB on Garfield p'a In Brooklyn and friends of younR "Tod" i say they do not know where he Is. He Is now the fatrer or two sons.

An interesting symposium in The Sunday Eagle, November 17, I III 01 CAPITAL Troops Near Summer Resort the Entrance to the Bosphorus. CREPT AROUND FOREST Entrance to Constantinople Be fore Armistice Is Reached if Invaders Flank Turks.

PLEA TO KING FERDINAND. Ottoman Government's Direct Appeal for an Armistice Will Be Considered by the Balkan Allies. Constantinople, November 15 Bulga-t inn troops have reached the vicinity of Klllos, on the Black Sea coast, at the entrance to the Bosphorus and within A few miles of the capital. The men belonging to the Turkish lifeboat station have left. London, November 15 The announcement that the Bulgarians had reached the vicinity of Klllos came In a single line telegram from Constantinople this afternoon.

It lifts a corner of the veil which has been baffling observers for some days regarding the movements of the victorious invaders In front of the Ottoman capital. Their appearance at Klllos shows that they have managed to creep around behind what is known as the forest of Belgrade, on the outskirts of Constantinople, and are now in close proximity to Thera-pla, the summer resort of the residents of Constantinople. From Therapia a good road Wads to within a few utiles of KIlloB. Kilios Fort Open to Assault on Land Side. Nothing has yet come to hand to show whether the Bulgarians at Klllos are In strong force or merely a detachment of cavalry scouts blazing a new route of op-proach to the Turkish capital.

There Is a strongly defended fort at KIHob, but this was constructed to defend the place from attack by sea and may be open to assault on the land side. Klllos Is only three miles to the west of Cape Rumell at the Black Sea entrance to the Bosphorus and about double that distance to the northward of Therapia. The dash of the Bulgarian troops seems to demonstrate that General Savoff, the Bulgarian Commander-in-Chief, is not wholly depending on a frontal attack on the line of fortifications at Tehatalja. If a strong Bulgarian force already Is at Klllos on the Hank of the Turkish army the fate of the Ottoman troops cannot. In military opinion, remain long In doubt.

If the Bulrarlan troops decide to enter Constantinople before a definite armistice is agreed to. Turkey Appeals Direct to Bulgarian King. For the moment the action of Turkey In applying direct to King Ferdinand of liulgaria for an armistice has superseded the proffers of the Powers to mediate. No official news hn yet leaked out as to the course the negotiations are taking. If the announcement made In Berlin be truo'lhat Osman Nlzaml Pasha, the Ottoman Ambassador there, has been appointed first Turkish delegate to a Bulgarian-Turkish pace conference.

It would appear that the negotiations are making good progress. A dispatch from Sofia says: The Turkish requer.t for an armistice, addressed by Kiamll Pasha, the Grond Vizier, to King Ferdinand, was discussed today by the Bulgarian Council of Ministers. It was decided to reply that the Bulgarian government would Inform the other nations of the Balkan Alliance of the step taken by Turkey and would give Its reply as soon as possible after coming to an agreement with them. After the allies have consulted It Is believed the negotiations for an armistice will be carried on by the commanding generals of the opposing armies purely from a military point of view. The negotiations can begin only after the Turks have accept.

the condition Mi down by the Bulgarians that In the meantime no further reinforcements of Turkish troop may be brought Into the field of operations. That an early peace is assured is accepted as a foregone conclusion, but whether It will be brought about before or after the surrender of Constantinople probably Is known only to King Ferdl- hand of Bulgaria and his advisers The differences between Austria-Hungary and Servla are evidently In a fair way toward settlement, but Montenegro, which Jumped Into the war ahead of Its seems loath to relinquish any of the spoils gln(l In the drilling.

I. and B. Line. HAD BEEN HORSE CAR DRIVER. Was Veteran of the Service, but Was Entitled to No Pension, So Worked On.

Afior forty-two years of continuous service as horse car driver and motor-man on the lines of the Coney Island and Brooklyn Railroad, Michael O'Rourke, the veteran of the line, dropped dead at his post today. He was making his first run of the day when the Passengers on his car, most of whom had ridden under his guardianship for years, saw him stagger as he was about to release the brake at De I Kalb and Franklin avenues. When Am-bulnnce Surgeon Wood arrived from the Cumberland Street Hospital he found that the veteran motorman had probably died instantly with his fall. The passengers on the car at first refused to credit the word and the other passengers on the road, who had ridden on it for years, also believed that there must be some mistake about it. Some of them had known O'Rourke from the time when It used to take more than an hour to ride from tho Park Circle to the Williamsburg ferries and they had been passengers on bis car almost dally since.

Michael O'Rourke. Because they had never missed him from his post they looked to him to complete at least half a century service before retirement and the seeming vigor of the man was accepted by them as assurance that he would be the motorman on their "runs" for many years yet. To nearly all the old passengers on the road, Michael O'Rourke's story was well known. When not quite 21 years old he came to this country from Ireland with his wife and almost immediately became a driver on the old Brooklyn City and Newtown Railroad. He had been married In Ireland when he was IS years old and his bride was 17.

As a horsecar driver O'Rourke never had any blots on his record, and though he was a veteran even when the electric Installation was made on the line more than fifteen years ago he took kindly to the new power and was reckoned as one of the most efficient motorrdjen of the Hue. His record is said to be the best of any man' ever employed by the company. He continued in active service through all the changes In the company, which became known by Its present title some years ago. Because of hts record and his cheery disposition, O'Rourke was regarded as a "fixture" on the ro-td by its old passen gers. Ho was seldom absent from his poet, but when something did keep" him away there were many inquiries us to what was the reason.

Seemed Charged After Death of Wife, Six Weeks Ago. For the last six weeks the passengers who always rode with O'Rourke have been worried ahout him. His wife died suddenly six weeks ago and O'Rourke seemed a changed man. They had been companions for forty-five years. O'Rourke seemed In perfect health, however, until week ago.

Then he complained of palnB In his chest, but continued at work. He did not look his 63 years. O'Rourke has left six children. The eldest, James, Is married, and lives at 565 Decatur street. The others have always lived with their father and mother at 1576 De Kalb avenue.

They arc Kllzabeth, 26; Thomas, 24; William, 21; Margaret, IS, and Helen, 13, the baby of the family. Helen was at home today alone when the news of her father's death was brought to her. She sold mat ahc would not believe It until his body was brought home. "He wns perfectly well when he left the house at 5 o'clock this morning," said the child, "and I know there must be some mistake." The body was taken to the house shortly afterward. O'Rourke was prominent as a member of tho Knights of Labor, the organization of street railroad employes, and had been a member for years of St.

Brigid's Church, at Linden street and Wyckoff avenue. The funeral will probably be held from there, but arrangements for It have not yet been completed. "I'm sorry father didn't start in working for the other Brooklyn street railroads," was the comment made by Thomas O'Rourke, the second son, when apprised of his father's death. "Just think, he would have boon pensioned years ago. As It was, there was nothing for him to do but to go on working.

But, at that, don't believe he could have been happy unless he kept his place on the front platform of a trolley." How Chicago Plans to Grow A systematic scheme of development that every school child is taught. Here is a lesson that Brooklyn might take to heart. Read about it in The Sunday Eagle, November Old Friendship Severed as Result of Hurley's Advancing Shares of Stock to Hotel Man. WORTH $6,000, SAYS ACCUSER Got Nothing in Return, He Swears. Accused Proprietor of Clarendon Declares Affidavit Is False.

Application was made to Magistrate Voorhces In the Adams street court today for a warrant for the arrest of John Hill, proprietor of the Clarendon Hotel, on a charge of larceny. The amount Involved Is said to be in the neighborhood of $6,000, There was a long affidavit, covering five closely typewritten pages, and made by William S. Hurley, formerly vice president of the defunct Borough Bank, and a well-known flour merchant. Mr. Hurley said that ha wanted to have Mr.

Hill arrested. "I am tired of temporizing in this matter," he said. Magistrate Voorhees would not grant a warrant for larceny and said that the needs of justice would just as well be met by the issuance of a summons to investigate. So a summons was issued and Mr. Hill was notified to lie in the Adams street court on Monday morning and give an account of his side of the transaction.

The copy of the summons was tacked to the long affidavit of Mr. Hurley, which broadly charged Mr. Hill with grand larceny. Mr. Hurley declared that Hill had received from him, by false representations, thirty shares of the A.

M. llobbins Company, and that he had not returned them to him as he had promised. And the shares are said to be worth J6.000 in cash. The Bobbins Company are dealers In poultry In Fulton Market, Manhattan, and the business is said to bo in a flourishing condition, so flourishing, Indeed, that value of the stock doubles par. The recital of the complainant against Hill is to the effect that some time in December, 1907, Hill, as the manager of tho Bobbins Company, went to Mr.

Hurley and sold that ho purposed, for business reasons, to make a gift of sixty shares to two of the company's employes. There were fifty shares to be given to Joseph Newton, then its treasurer, and ten shares to John Dunhill, another of the employes. "We want," said Mr. Hill, according to Hurley's Affidavit, "to inspire, enthusiastic ei'furt in behail of the company." Gow and Maxwell Were Not in Position to Give Stock. Mr.

Hurley wanted to know why he had to put up half of the stock for the benefit of the employes, and then, according to tile aflidavit, it was explained to him, by Hill, that the other directors holders of stock, William Gow and Howard were not In a position at that time to make any contributions of stock. Maxwell, it will be remembered, was the President of the Borough Bank, who later committed suicide when the bank's troubles engulfed him, and (low ws a bit on the rocks at the same time. So Hurley claims he turned over thirty shares of the flourishing poultry business to Hill, and he did not get them back again. He swears that he went to Newton after that and learned from him thai Newton had bought the shares from Hill, and that there was no suggestion of any gift of the stock of the concern. He said that ho bought, I he stock from Hill and paid him, in September, litll, $5,000 for it, with a check on the People's Trust Company.

After getting this informal ion, according to the affidavit. Hurley went 10 Hill and demanded his stock back. Hill gave him an acknowledgement that he was "holding for him 78 shares of stock." But he never since then received an accounting from Hill, and he avers that Hill Is guilty of larceny in withholding them from him. The stock, it is now claimed, is In the hands of Norton. Uunhill received fen of the shares that were In tho pool gathered in by Hill from Hurley and himself.

Hill will be In court on Monday to explain his share in the transaction. The summonB was served on him by Detective Cunningham of the Adams street station. The capital si oi of the A. M. Bobbins Company is placed at $200,000 and Hurley swears that the value of the shares Is $-') each.

"The charge is absolutely untrue and false," said Mr. Illll, when he was asked about Mr. Hurley's affidavit this afternoon. "We will answer Mr. Hurley In court." Hurley and Mr.

Hill were formerly bosom friends, associated in many busi-iiess matters together, and close mutual friends of the lute Senator Mc-Carren, who lived In the Clarendon Hotel up to the time of his last illness. Mr. Hurley also lived in the Clarendon, and until he became Involved 111 the tangled affairs of the-Borough Bunk had nothing to suy against Mr. Hill. Since that time he has apparently become bitterly antagonistic to Mr.

Illll, and has made a number of charges against ilm, some of which came out at the Investigation Into the Union Bunk conducted by Junior C. Cropsey last year. sim: I tii tlx TALK- I'HIM'KTOS I'UINCKTOV.

LUNN IS FINED; MAY GO TO JAIL Found Guilty of Violating Ordinance in Refusing to Move When Addressing Strikers. SAYS HE WILL REFUSE TO PAY. Former Brooklyn Minister Declares Case Against Him Has Been Cut and Dried. Little Falls, N. November 16 The Rev.

Dr. George R. Lunn, the former Brooklyn minister and now Mayor of Schenectady, was found guilty today of violating a city ordinance recently In refusing to move when the police interrupted a speech he was making to striking mill employes. He was sentenced to pay a fine of $50 or spend fifty days in Jail. Mayor Lunn apparently elected to go to jail, rather than pay the fine.

"This Is a question of principle," he said after bearing the sentence, "and I will never spend a dollar for quoting Abraham Lincoln." "The question of quoting Abruham Lincoln does not appear In the Information that caused your arrest," replied Judge Collins. When Mayor Lunn and his lawyer reachel the courtroom this forenoon the latter asked the court's permission for the Mayor to make a speech in his own behalf before sentence was pronounced. City Attorney Newberry objected and the request was denied. This caused Mayor Lunn to remark that the case against him had been "cut and dried." "It Is not." shouted the prosecuting attorney. Judge Collins Interrupted by saying that Mayor Lunn would bo allowed two minutes to speak.

"We don't want to muzzle anyone," the court sold. The Mayor then made a brief speech in which he declared, he paid, he wanted to appeal for his rights as a citizen. "I was not blocking traffic, or causing ongestion." he asserted. "I was about to address a peaceful assemblage. The prosecution Is carrying on this ease on a mere technicality, and It is prejudiced.

"I was going to urge the men to use peaceful methods In their strike. I was quoting Abraham Lincoln when I was stopped. I have always advised peaceful methods and never a violent word has "om from my mouth. I urge the settlement of all cases on a basis of freedom. I did not resist arrest; I was seized and thrown Into your Jail." Mayor Lunn was permitted to go to a hotel this afternoon with his attorney for luncheon.

Efforts will be made Immedl ately to obtain his release pending an np peal, but since It was said appeal mcas ures could not be perfected today, the Mayor expected to spend the night in the Herkimer Jail. TO MAKE CITY EMPLOYES PAY. Mayor Would Compel Payment of Bills for Necessaries. The beads of the city departments today received a letter from Mayor Ouynor unking them whether or not they know of any reason why a rule compelling the employes to puy their bills for food, clothing and other necessities of life when they arc able, should not be In effect. The Mayor calls attention to the fact that this rule is Inforced In the police and fire departments and makes known that be Is receiving numerous letters from creditors of city employes.

The letter sent out by the Mayor follows: "To All Heads of Departments: "I am constantly receiving letters from persons asking me to help them collect debts due them from city employes for actual living expenses, such as food and clothing. My experience thus far In life Is that a man who will not pay his bills for food and clothes and living expenses, when he Is able to do bo. is heartless and dishonest. In the Police and Fire departments we deem such condui unbecoming an officer and gentleman and make them pay. Do you see any objection to making that, rule In all departments? If necessary we will consult the Corporation Counsel In respect of the legality of a rule that all employes of the city must pay such debts or gel out.

MUST PAY VICTIM'S WIDOW $3 A WEEK Unique Penalty Imposed on Joseph Bush, Whose Blow Caused McNamara's Death. COMMENTS BY JUSTICE CRANE If Woman Refuses Money, Bush Must Place It in Savings Bank for Children's Benefit. As a penalty for having caused the death of John Mc.S'atnara, a car conductor, through a blow of his fist, Joseph Bush was today ordered by Justice Crane In Part VII of the Supreme Court, to pay to McNamara's widow the sum of $3 per week for one year, to aid in the support of herself and her three children. If the widow should -refuse to accept the money, Justice- Crane ordered that Bush open an account In savings bank in trust for the children and deposit the money for their benefit. Bush was told to report regularly to the court on the matter, and to carry out the court's Instructions without fall.

Justice Crane suspended sentence on Bush, who wns found guilty of assault In the third degree by a Jury, after he had been placed on trial for murder. The Justice In commenting on the ease, commended Bush for not having tried to enter a plea of self-defense, and for telling the whole truth. Justice Crane said he did not like to send the man away for a year, which is the usual penalty In cases of this kind, and said he preferred to give the defendant an alternative; a chance to work out his own snlvatlon. The widow, the Justice said, had good grounds for a civil suit, and could undoubtedly secure heavy damages, but that would be of no use, as Bush has no money, and be therefore deemed It wiser to Impose the $3 a week payment, which seemed to him a fair and just settlement of the case. As Bush was leaving the courtroom, Mrs.

McNamaru, who hud to come to the sentence imposed, made a rush In his direction, apparently with the Intention of attacking him, but she was restrained by the court officers and detained until Hush hod Rotten out of the building.
