WALSH, ONCE RICH, ACCUSED OF THEFT Former Coney Islander Charged With Selling Property He Did Not Own. IS HELD IN $10,000 BAIL. Once Reputed Owner of Two Blocks on Surf Avenue--Denies Wrongdoing. "Kerry" Walsh, who was reputed at one time to 1 be one of the wealthiest men on Coney Island, and who was said to have owned two blocks fronting on Surf avenue; cne of the bestknown characters at the Beach, was arraigned before Magistrate Geismar, in the Adams street court today, charged with grand larceny. "Kerry," whose real name is William Walsh, is charged with having made criminal misrepresentations in the sale of a piece property at West Twentyfirst street and Surf avenue, to a woman named Rose Cohen.

He was arrested late yesterday afternoon, in front of Stauch's pavilion, Detectives Walter Robertson and Joseph Duane of the Adams street station, on a warrant issued by Magistrate Geismar, charging him with having obtained a check for $2,159.94 from the Title Guarantee and Trust Company, in payment for the property mentioned, There was a long affidavit in the case from Rudolph F. Scharf of the Trust Company, who paid the money over to Walsh. The allegation is Walsh sold the woman property that he had no clear title to, and that he represented that he was a widower, and that the property had been willed to him by his dead wife. As a matter of fact, Walsh is not a widower, and his wife, Margaret Walsh, to whom he was married in Manhattan on May 21, 1882, is living, residing at 218 East Sixty-fifth street, Manhattan. Walsh is a cripple, and a victim of locomotor ataxia.

In the affidavits on which the issuance of the warrant was based Mr. Sharf declares that at the time of closing the title in the alleged fraudulent transaction In real estate Walsh was not able to go to the Title Company's office, but sat outside in the car on the street, and Charles G. Gall, a commissioner of deeds, acting for the counsel to the purchaser took his oath as he sat in the automobile. Walsh pieaded not guilty. There was a memorandum on the complaint papers, signed by Assistant District Attorney Goldstein, asking' the magistrate to place the bail at $10,000.

The prisoner demurred at the excessive bail, but the bond was fixed at $10,000. EAGLE PLANS FREE CONCERTS Well-Known Artists to Give Programmes Weekly at Various Branches.

April 18-Fire today destroyed the plant of the Alberta Lumber Company, with a loss of half a mlilion dollars. jail was the only hospital which 90- elety provided for them. Does not this fact supply food for reflection? Has Society the Right to Kill Any Human Being? "Society killed those boys--I beg pardon for not employing the smug conventional term, and saying that 'Outraged justice executed the sentence of the law on them' -society killed those boys. I witnessed that killing in part, and my soul was senred with loathing and horror at the scene. Had society the right engage in that killing? Have we developed so little beyond the law of the savage and the soning instinct of the primitive tribesmen that such executions are justifable? Its Want of Discrimination in Different Cases.

grave objection to capital punishment is its inability to discriminate. A bad-tempered old man, angry that his daughter insisted on marrying against his wishes, in a moment of uncontrollable passion shot her. He was electrocuted. There is a youth now lying cast for death who has admitted the commission of six or seven coldblooded and brutal murders. Is there no difference in degree between their criminality? "Thus, I contend, capital punishment is irreligious; its irrevocability makes rectification of error impossible; it is not deterrent, it is brutal to innocent and reputable relatives of the criminal: it is futile; it is a relic of savagery-it is the exercise of a right which civilization dare not entrust to any fallible human tribunal.

It should be abolished and imprisonment for life substituted for it. The varying rigor of the life imprisonment would enable juries and jailors to discriminate between crimes of varying degrees of atrocity." FAMILY REUNITED BY BOY'S ARREST Young Married Woman Locates Parents Who Were Lost to Her Eight Years. FOUND BY RARE CHANCE. Mrs. John Howard Melish Saved Sisters From Being Set to Western Homes.

One of the most remarkable cases which has ever come to the attention of the State Bureau of Charities has just been revealed through the efforts made by Assistant City Clerk J. V. Scully of the Brooklyn Marriage License Bureau to locate the missing parents of a young woman, who recently wrote him for that purpose, from Saratoga Springs. The woman, who signed herself Mrs. E.

D. Lee, 311 Nelson avenue, Saratoga Springs, and gave her age as 22, wrote Mr. Scully on March 28, requesting his aid in search of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hamilton, from whom she had been separated for eight years.

She and a younger sister, she wrote, had been placed in the Home for the Friendless, at 20 Concord street, when the father took sick and the mother was unable to support them. Subsequently, she continued, "a kind friend" had taken an interest in her and had her transferred to an industrial school at Saratoga. Her younger sister, now about 13 years of age, had been left in the home, she said, and she corresponded with her regularly. Although 110 part of his regular duties, Mr. Scully undertook the mission of tracing the lost parents.

Through the State under Department of Charities he learned the children had been committed to the home on November 22, 1904. The "kind friend," who had aided the other girl, he also discovered, was none other than Mrs. John Howard Melish, wife of the pastor of Holy Trinity Church. She had also taken an interest in the younger girl, he found, and it was largely through her efforts that the two sisters were not sent out West, as it had been the original intention of the home officials to do. Then came a gap in the search this point, however, for family had moved about so frequently that the Department of Charities had lost track of them.

Finally, however, a record came to light showing that a William Hamilton, 24 years old, had rested about four months ago on a disorderly conduct charge. By a reference to the police station blotter it was found that he had given his address as 56 Tillary street. Mr. Scully sent William Dermody, the police officer attached to the Marriage License Bureau, to this address and the latter found, that the Hamilton family were living there at the present time. When told of the inquiry made by their daughter and that she was married and living at Saratoga Springs, while sister was still an inmate of the Home, for the Friendless, only a couple blocks away from where her parents were living, the parents were greatly surprised.

They told Dermody that they believed both of their daughters had been adopted by a family in West. City Clerk Sculley communicated his discovery to Mrs. Lee at Saratoga and received in reply a letter warmily thanking him for his efforts. She said she would lose no time in getting in touch with the missing members of her family once again. ROOSEVELT BOOM LAUNCHED.

Poindexter Starts It at Indiana Moose State Convention. Indianapolis, April 18-Senator Miles Poindexter of Washington, launched a boom for the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt as the Presidential candidate of the Progressive in 1916 in a speech delivered here party today before the Indiana. Progressive State Convention. The Senator, after an elaborate discussion and attack upon the Democratic and Republican parties, declared the Progressive's Presidential nominee would have the support of the great mass of the people. The Democratic Administration, he said, had not dealt effectually with current national or international questions because it was bound by "an unfortunate sectional issue." He denounced particularly President Wilson's repeal of the tolls emption clause of the Panama Canal Act.

P. D. MEAGHER IN WASHINGTON Brooklyn Justice on His Way Home. His Health Improved. Washington, April 18-Philip D.

Meangher, Justice of the Municipal Court of Brooklyn, accompanied by Mrs. Meagher, is in Washington for a few days. Mr. Meagher recently recov. ered from a bad case of typhoid fever.

On February 1 last his physician of'dered him to Augusta, to recuperate. His sty in the Southern city did him a lot of good, and the Justice is now returning to Brooklyn by easy stages. He expects to leave Washington on Sunday for home. of ROAD MEN TO KNOW THEIR FATE TONIGHT Defendants Await Decision in Suffolk County "Graft Conspiracy" Case. OUTCOME MUCH IN DOUBT.

Road Admittedly Bad, but Jury May Decide This Is Due to Lack of Skill. (Special to The Eagle.) Riverhead, L. April 18-It is expected that the defendants in the alleged road graft conspiracy case tried before Justice Kapper will know their fate by early evening, for the case was closed and Lawyer Willard N. Baylis began his summing up at 10:15. Justice Kapper will remain in Riverhead to take the verdict.

The poll in the court room as to the probable outcome is as conflicting as the evidence. Some believe there will be a conviction, some hold to a disagreement, with probability that Stewart and Scanlon will be freed entirely. It would surprise none, however, to bear of an acquittal for all, largely because the jury may decide that the bad road was due to tne lack of skill and Judgment the part of the defendants and not willful corruption or conton spiracy. It is the contention that, taking the defendants' own figures they didn't purchase enough material by over 7,000 yards to the road, rolled in place, and is the reason the complete, road is thin. Whether tho jury will regard this an honest error of judgment of young engineers or a willful attempt to cheat the State is the crux of the whole matter.

The measurements of thickness in almost identical spots were so sharply conflicting that the State wanted to take the additional jury up. to disinterested the road and engineers get three to measure it in the presence of the jury. Justice Kapper heard argument on this in chambers. The defense objected, so the matter was dropped. Mr.

Robartes said on the Court House steps: "If the jury sees that road it will be all up with us." This morning, in rebuttal, Professor Henry P. Morrison other experts testifled they visited some of the same excavations made by the defense and did not find anywhere near the dopth testified by the defendants' experts, nor the width either. Thomas A. Brown, inspector on the road, testified he heard Robartes the direct side of the road for filler, because, in his Scanion to ad use material from (Robartes) estimation, "it was as good or better than Feekskill." MAY CLEAR UP BURGLARY Heckler Charged With Robbing Dr. Larkins' Home.

By the arrest of Louis Heckler, 39 years old, of 592 Cleveland street, the police of the Parkville station think they will be able to clear up the robbery at the home of Dr. Charles D. Larkins, principal of Manual Training High School, on March 8. Detective Emil Geisler of the Parkville station arrested Heckler after he had recovered a gold watch and chain, identified as part of the plunder taken from Dr. Larkins' home, in a Bowery pawn shop.

The watch, he found, had been pawned by a man who works with Heckler, in a jeweler's shop at 35 Gold street. This man said he had purchased the watch from Heckler. The latter, in turn, said he had purchased it from another man. The date when he said he had bought it, however, was three weeks before the date of the robbery of the Larking home, at 225 East Eighteenth street. Heckler was arraigned in the Flatbush court today, before Magistrate Steers.

He pleaded not guilty, and was held in $2,000 bail for examination next Tuesday. More than $400 worth of jewelry and silverware was taken at the time of the robbery.

DECLINE BREAD GIFT IN GESCHEIDT WILL Trinity Corporation Turns Down "Bread Line" Clause -Five Points Home in Doubt. IMPRACTICAL, MISSION'S IDEA. Likely That $150,000 Fund Will Revert to Nine Hospitals Named in Will. Following the refusal of Trinity Church Corporation to accept the bequest of $150,000 left by the late Henry Henry M. Gescheidt, the lawyer, for the establishment of a bread line, it was learned today that the Five Points House of Industry, which he stipulated should receive the legacy to carry out that provision of the will in the event of Trinity Corporation rejecting it, will probably do likewise.

Although the matter has not been formally taken up by the trustees of the Five Points House of Industry, and will not be considered until the next meeting of the board, on the first Wednesday of May, it is understood that the consensus of opinion among the trustees is that the Gescheidt bread line would be an encumbrance, as it is entirely different from the kind of charitable work carried on by the institution. 1f the Five Points House of Industry does reject it-and it is more than likely that it will -the $150,000 will then revert to and be evenly distributed among the following institutions: The German Hospital, Manhattan; St. Vincent's Hospital, St. Luke's, Sydenham Post-Graduate Hospital, Presbyterian Hospital, the German Brooklyn; the Methodist Episcopal Hospital, Smith's Infirmary, Staten Island, and the Home for the Destitute Blind in Manhattan. The Rev.

Dr. William T. Manning, rector of Trinity and the Vestry, announced yesterday, that after careful consideration had decided to decline the gift Mr. Gescheidt made to the parish. They were careful to explain that they declined the gift only because they thought the money would do more good if it reverted to the institutions as provided for in the will left by Mr.

Geschelat, who died on January 12 last at his home, 239 Lincoln road, Flatbush Many years before his death Mr. the bar, planned to a have a breadline Gescheidt, as he a amassed a fortune at established after his death. On May 27, 1892, he executed a will, in which he bequeathed $20,000 to his former wife, Mrs. Minnie D. Gescheidt, of 1235 Ocean parkway, who divorced him on statutory grounds on July 23, 1900, for the purpose of buying bread and coal for poor children in any section of the country that she saw fit.

Mrs. Gescheidt subsequently secured a divorce and the custody of their only child, Miss Minnie Dorothea Gescheidt, who, by the terms of his last will, executed three years ago, receives the residue of the estate, which is valued at $300,000. The breadline. which he planned twenty years ago, was to have been known as the "Counsellor Harry M. and Minnie D.

Gescheidt Bread and Coal Fund." After his marriage to his second wife. Mrs. Catherine Peck Gescheidt, to whom he left only $25,000, he drew up another will, providing for far more elaborate charity. He stipulated that with the income derived from the $150,000 trust fund, either Trinity Corporation or the Five Points House of ever one accepted the terms of the will--bake bread on each Saturday and holiday of the year and distribute it among the poor. Each loaf was to bear a label inscribed "Harry M.

Gescheidt, Counsellor-at-law, Donor." CHURCHES IN ROW AT FUNERAL Free-for-All Fight at Last Rites Over Corona Woman. A controversy between two churches, both of which claim to be Catholic, in Corona; and an argument between members of a dead woman's family as to which church should be allowed to officiate at her burial, brought on a free-for-all fight at the funeral services last night, and today three Italians were held in heavy bail on a felonious assault charged. There has long been a feud between St. Leo's Roman Catholic Church, of which Father O'Toole is rector, and an independent church of which "Bishop" Nicola Guagino is leader. Mrs.

Rosa Valiano of 40 Newin street and her husband, Anthony, were members of independent church. they When Mrs. Valiano died she asked preach husband the to services have "Bishop" requested Guagino and she be buried at Mount St. Mary's Cemetery In Flushing, which is run by Monsignour E. J.

Donnelly. The husband prepared to have the burial there, but, according to his story, after had paid for the plot, he was refused permission to have the grave opened unless Father O'Toole was to officiate at the burial. Valiano got an unsigned writ of mandamus and with "Bishop" Guagino he went to his home last night to perfect arrangements just as the funeral services were to commence. It was then that the -all fight came. Chairs, tables, lamps and even pick axes were used before the police could stop it.

Three persons were defendants in court today. They were Anthony Calcaldestro of 47 Newin street: Francis Olizeri and Anthony Olizeri of 69 Rockaway avenue, and they were accused of assault by Mattie Olizeri and Anthony Valiano of 40 Newin street. Magistrate Miller in the Flushing court held them in $1,000 bail until next Tuesday. Father O'Toole preached the service later today, DR. WALLACE HESITATES.

Has Not Yet Decided on Call from Rochester. The Rev. Dr. William B. pastor of the Baptist Temple, Third Wallace, avenue and Schermerhorn street, when asked today concerning A report that he had accepted the call to the pastorate of the First Baptist Church of Rochester, said that he had not in any way indicated to anyone his attitude in the matter.

He has not answered the call by letter and has not yet arrived at a decision. IN MEMORIAM. CREAMER loving memory of my MARY E. CREAMER, who died April 17, 1912. HEAFY -Solemn requiem mass, month's mind, on Monday morning, April 20, 1914, at 9 o'clock, for the Rev.

Friendless and without resources, he made such acquaintances as were possible to him, was picked up on the 8119- picion of being connected with wrongdoers, and, on proof of his former record, was harshly sentenced to a lengthened term of imprisonment-not for anything he had done, but from a coward fear of what he might do. Step by Before an audience that jammed Temple Beth Sholum, Bay Twentysecond street and Benson avenue, last night, Rabbi Joseph Goldstein, chaplain of Sing Sing Prison and the Tombs, in a vigorous speech bitterly denounced the present day penal system and advocated the abolition of capital punishment entirely in this State and the substitution in its place of life imprisonment for murderers. The speaker also emphasized the fact that one of the gunmen who had gone to the death chair last Easter Monday--referring to Frank Cirofici-was absolutely innocent of participation in the crime for which he was electrocuted. Rabbi Goldsteln seemed especially moved when he made this statement, and a number of those present were visibly affected when they heard his reference to the execution of the four gunmen.

His address was enthusiastically welcomed by the 400-odd men and women who crowded the auditorium during the service. Fully one-half of that number, who were unable to gain admission to the temple, gave made their approval of the suggestions by Rabbi Goldstein, and at the end of the service signed applications for membership in a new organization which was formed last night in the church, to be known as the "Society for the Abolition of Capital Punishment in the State of New York." Over 350 requests to join the association were presented last evening, and Rabbi Goldstein has received the assurances of several thousand who are prepared to ally themselves with the new movement. Chaplain of Sing Sing and the Tombs. Rabbi Goldstein has been chaplain of the Tombs for seven years has held a similar position at Sing sinned Prison during the last four years. He has had ample opportunity as a rabbi to observe criminals of all classes at close range.

Whether his deductions as to the falsity of the present penal system were based upon his observations as a minister of the gospel, the speaker did not declare, but he made clear, without violation of any confidences, that the present method of dealing with criminals was radically wrong. Dr. A. P. Zemansky sat in the pulpit with Rabbi Goldstein during evening service which preceded the sermon.

During his address on "The Right to Kill," which lasted fully an hour, the speaker held the close attention of his auditors from beginning to end. He said in part: "Here stands a man. He is the product of countless ages of evolution! All the forces in the universe have been step in the tragic Odyssey of his lifeJourney to the electric chair, society wronged the hopeless wretch again and again. He was truly 'as much sinned against as He had companIons on that last short journey from the 'death cell' to the 'death Two of them had been, in their early youth, recognized as 'defectives'-boys morally and mentally sub-normal. The Repeat Easter Music The music at the 11 o'clock service at St.

James Episcopal Church, Lafayette avenue and St. James place, last Sunday WAS one of the most beautiful productiona of sacred music that has ever been heard in that church and will be repeated tomorrow. This music was the same as that sang in the new church 13 years ARO and A.8 this will be Mr. Thayer' last great musical service at St. James it has been thought fitting to make this an occasion of reunion and farewell by his old friends, all of whom have been invited be present and help make the day one long to be remembered.
