(Special to the Eagle.) Albany. November 15 The report of the inspection of the City Prison of Brooklyn, the Raymond Street Jail, made recently by Secretary George McLaughlin of the State Prison Commission, has been submitted to that body tor Its consideration. In part tbe report says: "There is a new women's prison under construction on the same lot. tbe old one having been torn down. At present two of tbe outer tiers of cells on one side of the men's Jail have been separate from the rest of the lall end used for housing tbe women prisoners pending the comple tion of the women Jan.

'While there have been Important im provements recently made In the men's jail, its general arrangement has not been changed. Electric ngnts nave been installed In the cells, so It Is no longer necessary to light a candle In order to see the Interior. Each cell is now orovmea with a closet and wash basin. There is also a bathroom on each tier, and the practice of having the prisoners come down on the main floor to wash has been discontinued. Tbe Interior has been repainted.

"Notwithstanding these Improvements, this is still an antiquated prison; one-half the cells open Into a narrow hallway Between tbe tiers of cells and receive no lieht exceot from skylights in the roof; as those are placed directly over the cen tral hail and onlv occupy a portion the roof, all of these Interior cells are practically dark. It being- impossible to see Into them even at noontime, except by means of the eleotrlc light Tho other half of the cells faces the exterior windows and are reasonably well llghtod, ex-cetp the upper tier, which Is higher than th tops of the windows a grave defocf In prison construction." STRIKE OF S. S. SCHOLARS Pastor Eggleston Puts His Foot Down on Blackballing in Club. The quiet neighborhood In which the Greene Avenue Presbyterian Church located was rudely disturbed yesterday afternoon by the loud talk of a group of boys, several of whom had lust gone "on strike" from the Sunday school attached to the church, of which the Rev.

Ourdon H. Eggleston is pastor. The lads were helping to give one another moral sup port In the stand they had taken, end some of them declared that they would join some other Sunday school rather than submit to the rules laid down by Mr. Eggleston. It appears that one of the Bible classes composed of young men from 18 to 20 years of age had formed within Itself a club called che Vlncens Association, which is conducted like a regular men's club, with blackballs and otber important attachments.

Mr. Eggleston heard ru-morB of the blackballs and made an In vestigation. He did not consider such procedure compatible wltb efficient Sun day school work, and yesterday afternoon the boys were so Informed. They were also told that those who did not like the attitude of the pastor on the matter could leave, and that the very time the announcement was made would be a good time to go. Tbere were about seventeen lads pres ent, and eight of them marched out.

Mr. Eggleston stood at the door and saw tbat they reached the street eafely. On the curb they were Joined by other boys of the neighborhood, so that the gathering looked more formidable than it really was. When an Eagle reporter called at the home of Mr. Eggleston, this morning, he was not at borne, but Mrs.

Eggleston, who is an energetic church worker and a teacher of one of Bible classes, volunteered to explain the "strike." "We havR the usual plan in the Sunday school," said Mrs. Eggleston, "of pro moting boys from one class to another. Mr. Eggleston learned that two boys named Ralph Boerum and John Moore. who had been promoted, had been black balled by the vlncens Association, so he simply put his foot down and declared that the plan was un-Chrlstlan and un-American.

The boys of this class are allowed the use of the gymnasium on Tuesday evenings and are accorded many privileges. The fact of the matter is. that out of the eleht bovs who left, only one 1b a regular member of the church." Vincent Fucherer, 20 years old, of S13 Greene avenue, who was one of the "strikers," was not at home when the reporter called. Mrs. Fucherer, his mother, was very much annoyed that her son had come into the limelight in connection with the walk-out.

Vincent had been a member of the church for over ten years, she said, and she could not understand his action and that of his companions. "Boys of that age," she said, "have a great Idea of their own Importance. I suppose the older boys In the club did not like the idea of having boys much younger than themselves in the club. However, the whole thing Is a tempest in a teapot, and I am very sorry that my boy has been mixed up In it." JOB IS NOT FOR FRANK J. PRICE Brooklyn Man Seems to Be Out of Running for Federal Position He Was After.

Eagle Bureau, 808 Fourteenth Street. Washington, November 15 It was learned at the Treasury Department today that Frank J. Price of Brooklyn has been an active candidate for the position of Collector of Internal Revenue for tho Brooklyn DJstrict, now held by Edward B. Jordan. The latter's term will expire In a few weeks, and Price has had some of his friends inform Treasury Department officials that they believe Price Is Just the man to fill the place.

Since then strong objections have been died with the department against Price's appointment, and It now seems tbat he Is out of the running. Price incurred the hostility of loyal Republicans by his antagonism of Otto T. Bannard In the mayoralty campaign. If his candidacy for a federal Job should ever become serious, representations would be made, it is learned to-day, to President Taft that Price was actively engaged in trying to prevent Bannard's election. Price was one of the nine men who urged Oaynor to run.

AGED NEGRESS' LeTbROKEN. Knocked Down by Auto, Mrs. Evans, at 08, Will Be a Cripple Remainder of Her Life. (Special to the Eagle.) Hempstead, L. November 15 Mrs.

Elizabeth Evans, a Degress, 98 years old, and the mother of sixteen children, or whom fourteen are living, Is confined to her home, a mile south of tbe village, wl-h a broken leg, and will be a cripple as long as she lives. The aged woman was returning on Friday from a visit to a friend at Unlondale, and was walking In the center of the road. Town Clerk H. Luther Weeks came along In bis automobile and endeavored to pasB Mrs. Evans.

He had nearly done so when she Bwerved and stepped squarely in the path of bis car, which knocked ber down. She fell in such a way as to break ber leg. Mr. Weeks stopped his car and picked Mrs. Evans up and carried her to her home, and then rushed off and got a physician.

He felt very badly because of the accident, but it was something that he could not prevent, he says. Mrs. Evans up to the time of her mishap, was specially active, and thought nothing of walking from her home to the I village, doing a day's work and then returning on. foot- to her cottage. SB Special U.

S. Attorney General Stiinson Will Prosecute Every Person Implicated. GOVERNMENT EMPLOYES. TOO. Will Proceed Against High Government Officials if Evidence Makes It Necessary.

Special Vnlted States Attorney General Henry L. Stimson, who Is oonductlng the prosecution of the Sugar TruBt, oould not be induced this morning to pass any comment upon tbe allegation of Aotlng Surveyor Richard Parr to the effect that former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury James Burton Reynolds, now a member of the Tariff Oomml6Blon, tried to hinder him In the investigation of the sugar frauds. Mr. Parr It was, who, as special treasury agent, gathered most of the evidence the Government has far used against the Sugar Trust, both civilly and criminally, and In an Interview with him published yesterday, he charged: "That Mr. Reynolds hindered him In Investigating the sugar frauds by sending him on far-away assignments In Maine and California.

"That Mr. Reynolds failed to discipline him when ho refused to go to Cuba, and when he otherwise disobeyed orders of the assistant secretary of the Treasury. "That another agent who knew nothing about the frauds, and little of the ways of the Sugar Trust, had been assigned to continue the Investigation. "That Mr. Reynolds telephoned to Deputy Collector Stewart on November 20, 1907, that there were to be no seizures, thlg message having been received after Parr had seized a cargo of sugar for fraud and that two days later Mr.

Reynolds ordered the said cargo to be released. "Out After the Crooks, No Matter Who They Are," Says Stimson. While Mr. Stimson would not discuss these charges specifically, he stated in explicit terms that he had been retained to proceed against the guilty officials and employes, not only of the Sugar Trust, but also of the Government. "I am out aftor the crooks." said Mr.

Stimson, "no matter who they are, and as soon as we have sufficient evidence against them we shall have them Indicted." "If your evidence leads to the door of a government official, past or present, you shall proceed against him Just tho same?" was asked. "Yes, Blr," was the quick response. "We already havo secured the indictment of one government employe, Joseph D. Donollen, a weigher." "Yes, but how about any one higher up than a weigher?" "We are out after the criminals, no matter who they are," reiterated Mr. Stimson.

"But you must understand that my retainer limits me solely to the prosecution of those responsible for the welshing frauds. There has been a lot of talk In the newspapers about fraudu lent testB and other methods of cheating the government. With them I have nothing to do. I am authorized to ferret out only thosa connected with the weighing frauds." The case against Donellen, who was arrested on November 2, has not yet been placed on tho calender. Donellen was taken before United States Commissioner Shields In the Federal Building on the day of hie arrest and he was hold In 12,500 bail for further examination.

As a result of this examination Donellen wan held for the Federal Grand Jury which later returned an Indictment against him. Mr. Stimson said this morning that ho could not tell when his case would come up. "The criminal courts in this district are so crowded that It Is next to impossible to secure a epecdy trial," said he. "I have been trying to have these other cases disposed of since June and I have not.

succeeded yet. They are schedulod to come up on the 22d." Concerning the statements that have appeared from time to time to the effect that the sugar trust still owes money to the government on back duties, Mr. Stimson said that tho American Sugar Refining Company had paid to the government every cent It owed because of tho short weight frauds. The collection of any further amount because of test or other frauds waa not attempted nor, so far as Mr. Stimso- 't concerned, is to be undertaken a' lime.

Mr. Stitr added that the theft ol certain mtu.uranda from the desk of Mr. Parr in the Custom House had not materially affected the conduct of the case. "We expect to prove our case without them," he said. Neither the trust officials nor their counsel, Parsons, Closson Mcllvalne, would be Interviewed by newspaper men this morning.

They as well as the prosecuting officials appear to deprecate the publicity that is at present being given to the case. Special Treasury Agent Parr Says His Life Was Several Times Threatened. Former Special Treasury Agent Richard Parr, to whose efforts the successful prosecution of the American Sugar Refining Company at. this port Is almost entirely due, confirmed to-day the report that the Imports of the so-called Sugar Trust elsewhere than at New York had been under government Investigation and admitted having been personally commissioned by the Secretary of the Treasury to look into the situation as it affected Philadelphia. "My study of the conditions there," said he, "soon convinced me that the oompany was systematically evading duties on its Imports and I so reported." Mr.

Parr declared that the efforts to deny to former President Roosevelt the credit for the successful prosecution were due to malice. Mr. Parr spoke of other efforts to hamper him in his work and declared that his life had been theratened on several occasions. Reynolds Denies Influence by Sugar Trust and Defends Roosevelt. Washington.

November 15 James B. Reynolds, formerly assistant secretary of the treasury and now a member of the new tarff board, to-day declared there never had been any attempt on the part of the so-called "sugar trust" to Influence any action of his and no Instructions had been issued by him having any object In view beyond good administration and fair dealing to all conecrned. Mr. Reynolds' statements were made ss the result of publications to the effect that tne Treasury imeiiL, uur I administration of President Roosevelt, displayed apparent indifference in procuring evidence of laeged "sugar trust" frauds, and that Rlchord Parr, a special agent of the department, in his investigations, had encountered obstacles from the outset. He promises, as soon as an opportunity affords, to go over fully the stateemnts made and "make the reply which thev deserve." CALDER SEES PRESIDENT.

(Special to the Eagle.) Washington, November 15 Representative Calder of Brooklyn called at the White House this morning and discussed a number of matters wit hthe President. Among other things he urged the President to accept an invitation to attend the dinner of the New England Society In Brooklyn. President Taft showed a great deal of Interest in the recent mayoralty election and asked a number of questions concern-, ing the personality of the various ReJ publicans elected un the fusion ticket. ON WILLIAMSBURG SPAN Many Hurt in Struggle Following Derailing of Coach on the Plaza. WOMEN INJURED BY CRUSH.

Police Use Clubs on Crowd and Big Riot Is Narrowly Avoided. An accident causing one of the worst crushes known on the Brooklyn plana of the WJlllamsburg Bridge occurred this morning shortly before 7 o'clock. Several were Injured In the panic following the accident, which was due to one of the cars of the Fourteenth street crosBtown line Jumping the switch and dropping into a twelve-Inch excavation, completely blocking the entire Manhattan system for nearly half an hour. As Indicated, the accident occurred at a time when the rush to Manhattan across the bridge was at its height. For nearly a week past laborers have been working making repairs to the series of switches used by the Manhattan system of car lines.

A series of four loops are used which converge Into one single track on the run across the structure. It has been necessary to excavate In order to replace the switches. The Fourteenth street car was on loop No. 2 and just before reaching the switch of loop No. 1 the front wheels left the track and bumped Into the excavation, while the front truck was jammed against one of the series of electric boxes.

In the car at the time were about seventy passengers, filling all the seats and the balance clinging to the straps. When the car left the tracks and dropped Into the excavation it tiltod over in an alarming manner. Tbe passengers were tossed about and a panic oocurred. Men and women, without a thought but of reaching safety, rushed for both ends of the car. As the car had started, the gates on both ends had been closed, wltb tbe result that men and women became Jammed and a desperate struggle en-Bued.

The men fought the women in their excitement and yanked at each other's clothing, destroying hats, coats and dresses. The Bhrleks and shouts brought Policemen Stephen Thornton and Patrick Donovan of the Bedford avenue station to the scene. While one rushed to the front of the car the other went to tho rear and managed to open the gates. By threatening those in the rear with their clubs, those In front were assisted to alight, and the car quickly emptied. Evidence of the struggle was shown by the condition of the clothing of the majority, while many were bleeding from wounds on tho face and hands.

Others limped away. In Jumping the track the car completely blocked even the emergency loop and In a few minutes the plaza began filling with men and women anxious to get to their places of employment In Manhattan. The crowd grew so quickly that It became necessary to send word for additional police help to regulate the crowd. In tho jnantlme track laborers tackled the derailed car and after a delay of thlrty-flve minutes raised the car by means of Jacks to the tracks. Then followed a general rush for the other cars, a line of wbich extended acroBB the plaza and across the bridge to Manhattan.

In the Jam the police for a time were swept along. Again they were forced to threaten with their clubs, and In some Instances used them on men who persisted, but made no arrests. OBITUARY. Rev. Hartman Ferdinand Bernhart.

The Rev. Hartman Ferdinand Bernhart of 543 Wllloughby avenue, died suddenly Friday, funeral services being held yester- 1 day in German M. E. Church of St. John, on Sumner place, the pastor, the Rev.

J. Schuler officiating, assisted by the Rev. i Messrs. Flath and Giesregen. The de-i ceased was for fifteen years the popular pastor of the German Evangelical Peo-j pie's Churcb, retiring from the ministry five vears ago.

He was at one time, also, pastor of the Hopkins Street German Presbyterian Church and headed a largo split In the congregation, forming the first named church. He was a leader among his people and a strong preacher. 1 He was torn at Gambach, Germany, August 31, 1836. and was educated at the jGiessen University and at Frledberg.

F. He is sur vived by two sons, Werner F. and Charles, and two daugnters. Mrs. ueorge Muehl and Mrs.

Oscar Walters. The Rev. Mr. Bernhardt years ago was one of the best known clergymen In the Twenty-first Ward. He was a pastor of a German Church on Hopkins street, and during his work he managed to get together one of the largest congregations of German denomination.

While at the height of his career, he, however, had trouble with members of the board of trustees, and from that time on his career became stormy. Nearly the entire congregation sided with him because of his popularity. The discord between blm and the trustees, however, became so strained that Mr. Bernhardt and his followers seceded and organized the People's German Church, erecting a small wooden structure on Throop avenue, near Myrtle. Thither the congregation followed their pastor and for several years Mr.

Bernhardt continued bis success. Then a change came in the population and members moved away. The membership declined and eventually It was no longer possible for the church society to bear Its expenses and it was dissolved. The prop- erty afterward was sold and has since i been built upon. After this Mr.

Bernhardt went Into retirement. He had re sided in Brooklyn twenty-four years, and It is said that during his career ha had married more people than any other pastor of this borough. Captain Peter C. Petrie. Capt.

White's statements were read with avidity by Brooklyn "Scientists," as she is well known In church circles here. For some time Mrs. White lived on Columbia. Heights, and ber acquaintances embrace most of tbe active, workers in the Brooklyn churches. That Mrs.

Stetson usurped Mrs. Eddy's position, even going so far as to Inculcate the belief In her coterie that she, Mrs. Stetson, was Christ, was one of the charges made by Mrs. White. "We were taught that Mrs.

Stetson was Christ, and that we were her disciples," sold Mrs. White, "and we were also told that the directors of the Mother Church In Boston were our enemies, as they were her enemies. We were also told to 'treat' them, and in no gentle way." Mrs. White said that she mentally refused to treat the directors, as she has never treated anyone without her consent. The "Paschal Meal." which occurred last June at the home of Mrs.

Stetson, adjoining the First Churcb in Now York, was also described by Mrs. White. Sho said, "We stood in a circle while Mrs. Stetson passed fish, bread and lemonade, colored with raspberry shrub. Afterward we were told never to speak of the 'Paschal Meal' or our secret meetings because otber students had not risen to our heights of spiritual discernment and could not understand Buch high science." Mrs.

Stetson, accompanied by her attorney, Hayne Davis, left for Boston last evening to appear before the board of directors there. Her followers regard this as the first step toward the cx-cora-munlcatlon of their leader. This afternoon another meeting Is going on at the FlrBt Church to consider the charges against Virgil Strickler, first reader. The trustees maintain that after his defense of Mrs. Stetson last July, he asked the Boston board to make another investigation without consulting them.

For this, and other reasons, the trustees demand his removal. A committee of nine of the anti-Stetson faction has induced the trustees to call a church meeting for November 23 to act upon the demand for their owu resignation. At the same meeting the question of their refusal to accept the resignation of Mrs. Stetson as trustee will be put before the congregation. Practically every one of the 1,800 members Is taking an active Interest In the effort to excommunicate Mrs.

Stetson. Leaders of the rival factions have solicited the co-operation of every member of the church. In case the Mother ChurcJ decides to excommunicate Mrs. StetBon the crisis of the battle will occur on November 23. at the New York church meeting, when the Stetson sympathisers will advocate secession.

BIRTH CERTIFICATE NEEDED Before 'Working Papers Are Issued by Health Department How to Obtain It. According to George A. Hall, secretary of the New York Child Labor Committee, violation of the statute In force in New York making it an offense to put a chili between 14 and 16 years of age out at work without securing working papers, is not always a willful attempt on the part of parents to cheat the spirit of this law, which seeks to insure a certain limited amount of education to every child In the community. Discussing methods of co-operation In enforcing the child labor law before the Btalf of tbe New York Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor at a recent meeting, Mr. Hall pointed out the difficulty which the parents of foreign born children were meeting In complying with the new statutory requirements for securing working papers.

"A noticeable feature In recent child labor legislation in this country has been the increasing emphasis placed upon the proof of age requirements of children who desire to go to work," said Mr. Hall. "The affidavit of the parent, formerly accepted as sufficient evidence, having proved worthless in hundreds of cases, has been replaced by statutory provisions requiring better documentary evidence. While a properly attested birth certificate is generally held to be the most conclusive proof of age, some foreign born children have found It difficult to secure that paper." In order to help get around the diffl-eitw fha Vatinnai Child T.ahnr Com mittee has printed a pamphlet giving the proper official, with address, in each country, to whom application for birth certificate should be made. It may be secured from the office of the National Child Labor Committee, 105 East Twenty-second street.
