M1 THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW YORK, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1914. JACOBSON HELD IN MURTHA CASE Says That He Is Willing to Marry 14-Year-Old Girl Who Ran Away. MOTHER DOESN'T BLAME THEM. Children Society, Which Has Marguerite, Will Not Allow Her to Be Seen.

Samuel Jacobson, the 22-year-old jewelry salesman, of 1556 Atlantic avenue, whose arrest two weeks ago with 14-year-old Marguerite Murtha, of 1469 Fulton street, in the home of Dr. and Mrs. Henry F. Risch, at 2416 Clarendon road, caused a charge of abduction against the aged and respected physician, was today held under $1,000 bail for the Grand Jury on one of two serious charges brought against him by Mrs. Susan Murtha, Marguerite's mother.

Magistrate Steers, in the Flatbush police court, reserved decision on the other count. Although he held Jacobson, the magistrate allowed Aaron Levy, the prisoner's counsel, to state in court his client's willingness to marry Marguerite, and remarked from the bench that he believed this would be the the the the the the best solution of the case. Mr. Levy said that Jacobson was anxious to make Marguarite his wife, and that she desired to wed him, but that the Children's Society, in whose care the girl has been since her arrest, would not permit her to be seen. The court failed to make any suggestion to remedy this difficulty.

The examination which resulted in Jacobson's being held resulted in his being absolved from blame by Mrs. Murtha. She stated openly, in her testimony, that she did not hold any grievance against the accused, and that she considered her daughter largely to blame. Marguerite herself said that she went with Jacobson of her own free will and that she knew what she was doing when she left home. The only other witness heard was Detective Donelon, who found Marguerite and Jacobson after she had been missing for nearly two months, and he told the story of the circumstances under which he had discovered the girl." Dr.

Risch, who was freed of the charge of abduction after a hearing before Magistrate Geismar, was not present at the hearing today. TO IMPROVE CONEY West End League Elects cers and Starts Work.

TO BREAK GROUND FOR RIVER TUNNELS Tuesday the 13th Picked by Major O'Rourke, Whose Lucky Number Is 13. $12,500,000 IN CONTRACT. Mayor Mitchel and Chairman McCall to Handle Shovels at the Battery. Mayor Mitchell and Chairman McCall of the Public Service Commission will break ground for the new tunnels to Brooklyn on Tuesday of next week. The date chosen-October 13-was the particular choice of Major O'Rourke, the head of the O'Rourke Engineering Construction Company, which has the contract, who believes that "13" is his luckiest number.

For it was August 13 when this contract, valued at close to $12,500,000, one of the biggest ever put up for bidding by the city, was awarded to him. The ceremonies are to take place at the foot of Whitehall street, Manhattan, and will be attended by all the members of the Public Service Commission, as well as a number of city officials, headed by the Mayor. After the Arst shovelful of earth is removed there will be speechmaking, and then the party will adjourn to the ferryhouse, where luncheon will be served. The Brooklyn Rapid Transit tunnel from Whitehall street to the foot of Montague street was chosen to begin with, as the Manhattan end of it is the only place where the sinking of a caisson will not be necessary. After a few feet of earth, solid rock will be encountered.

"The work on both tunnels will be conducted at the same time," said Major O'Rourke today, "and we hope to complete them about together. When we get into full swing, we will have nearly 2,000 men employed on the job. The three caissons are now being manufactured, and parts of them will begin to arrive in a couple of weeks. We have our shafts already up, both on the Brooklyn and Manhattan sides. There will be no delay." Major O' Rourke's company has the biggest slice of subway contract work of any firm in the city, all in connection with the tunnels.

These in selves are the biggest tube engineering projects ever attempted; and, in addition, he has the contract for the Manhattan and Brooklyn connections with the main subways, bringing the value of all his contracts up to $17,899,059.75. It was said at the office of the Public Service Commission today that no man has yet been elected to take the place of Engineer Noble, who recently resigned his post as engineer in charge of the tunnel construction. It is known that a determined effort is being made to have a Brooklyn man named to fill the place, because of the peculiar connection of the work with this borough. MRS. MILES GETS FREEDOM Wins Decree From Head of Motion Film Company.

Charging that her husband abandoned her and pleaded with her to get a divorce, so that he might marry again, Mrs. Anita H. Miles of 36 Clark street appeared before Justice Maddox, in equity term of the Supreme Court, and won a decree of separation from David H. Miles, who lives at the Players Club, Manhattan. Miles is head of the Miles Motion Film Company.

In answer to questions by her attorney, Frank X. McCaffry, Mrs. Miles testified that her husband abandoned her in Los Angeles, on May 13, 1913. She took a train East, and subsequently received a letter from her husband, the contents of which she revealed to Justice Maddox. The letter asked Mrs.

Miles to secure a divorce, and offered her alimony. wrote that he wanted me to divorce him SO that he could marry Mrs. Linda Griffith," Mrs. Miles testified. Although Miles was represented by Lawyer Louis S.

Posner, he offered no defense to the separation suit. The question of alimony was arranged between the two lawyers. The couple were married October 28, 1903, at New Canaan, Conn. There are no children. WHITMAN NOT TO REPLY Declines to Answer Roosevelt's Attack on Him.

Charles S. Whitman today declined to answer in detail an attack made last night by Theodore Roosevelt at Poughkeepsie. The District Attorney at first declined to discuss the matter, but under pressure said the only new thing in the charges was in relation to his alleged promise to serve out his term of whatever office he was elected to. Mr. Whitman declared that at no time had he promised to serve out his term as District Attorney of New York.

He did promise, he said, in writing to a committee of 107, that if elected Mayor he would serve out his term. That promise, he added, in no wise affected his election to the office of District Attorney. Similar promises, he said, had been given by the other Mayoralty candidates then seeking indorsement. "With the exception of this item," Mr. 1 Whitman said, "Mr.

Roosevelt's attack was not worth Mr. Whitman today returned on a yacht from Newport. TO AID WOUNDED MEN.

The Commission of Seven, of which he is chairman, was abolished, and Mr.

Childs was made the county but today he said that he had not given treasurer, up his close interest in the affairs of party and would be ready to be called on for advice or help whenever needed. The leaders, while not publicly mitting it, are privately stating that no important move in the Kings County organization will be made without first consulting the ex-chairman of the commission, OYSTER MAN SUES CITY FOR $100,000 George A. Carman Says Sewers Have Destroyed His Business. George Carman, an oyeterman, whose oyster beds located in Jamaica Bay have been condemned by the Board of Health, is bringing suit for an injunction to restrain the city from maintaining the sewer which empties into Jamaica Bay, and asks for $100,000 damages from the city on the ground that the pollution of the waters of the bay by the sewage has resulted in the destruction of his oyster beds and business. The suit is being tried before Justice Maddox in the Supreme Court.

The suit is only one of a score that are being brought against the city by oystermen on Jamaica Bay, and the total amount of damages the city will be asked to pay exceeds $1,000,000. V. L. Haynes is the attorney for Mr. Carman and he is being assisted in preparing the case by Theodore Witte.

Mr. Carman asserts that before the city's sewer destroyed his oyster beds his business amounted to more than $50,000 a year. Carman was the principal witness at the trial of the before Justice Maddox in the Equity Trial Term of the Supreme Court today. Under direct examination by his attorney, S. V.

Haynes, Carman had testified yesterday afternoon that in 1907 and 1908 he had done a business of $60,000, nethim a profit of $15,000. The next year, he testified, the first cry of pollution was raised about the Jamaica Bay waters, and his business was cut in half. It continued to fall until 1912, when the Board of Health condemned oyster beds in the bay and forbid the collection of, oysters from them, and since then his business amounted to nothing at all. Today under cross-examination by Assistant Corporation Counsel George A. Green, who is representing the the the city, Mr.

Carman admitted that the men themselves maintained along the oysterbanks of Indian Creek, where the oyster beds were located, nuisances which might be held responsible for the pollution of the creek waters. Carman's suit is being watched with great interest by the other oystermen in the bay, a score of whom have pending against the city for damages totaling $1,000,000.

According to the statements of a number of pastors of churches of various denominations, there is a group of men going around among the parishes in Brooklyn collecting money in the names of the churches. The war is used as an excuse for the congregations, the "collectors" saying that the European conflict has been the cause of much distress. The churches, these men state, are suffering in the way of curtailed contributions, they being obliged to give much more to money the poor among their membership, the number of which has largely increased.

well man of good appearance, about years old, with a plausible manner, has been going among the Methodist membership of the Embury Memorial Episcopal Church, the edifice of which is at the corner of Lewis and Decatur avenues, in what is known as the Stuyvesant section. The Rev. Dr. J. W.

Maynard, pastor of the church, said he had not seen the man, but that he had a full description of him. This man has succeeded in collecting some money, telling those to whom he goes that the church is in need of funds. In fact, is in dire straits. He went to one woman, and when she told him she was not a member of Embury Church, he coolly told her that that did not make any difference as he could give the money, he having succeeded in getting some cash from her, to any congregation she might designate as there was need of money on the part of all of them. It is understood that several sections of the borough are being visited in this way and that there is a gang working the scheme.

The people of the Hanson Place Methodist Episcopal Church, many of them, have been approached. The gang seems to have districted Brooklyn, one man taking a group of churches of one denomination and another man a group of another denomInation, and so on. DIES BY GAS AT 77.

THANKS GOVERNOR FOR SAVING HOME Compensation Commission Pays Off Mortgage on Mrs. Garland's House. HUSBAND KILLED BY FALL. Small Income to Be Paid Also to Widow and Her Daughter. By the payment of enough of her compensation to cancel a mortgage, the Workmen's Compensation Commission today saved from foreclosure the little home of Mrs.

Lillie P. Garland at 923 East Thirty-fifth street, Flatbush. Mrs. Garland had been placed in her present predicament by the death of her husband last July from a fall from a pole while working for the Edison Electric Illuminating Company, leaving her alone to keep the home and support a year-old baby. When the officials of the commission learned of the impending loss of the home, with its consequences, the actuarial department was ordered to compute how much would be total the woman's claim.

On the basis of the award of the commission a few days ago of $5.26 a week to the widow and $1.75 a week to the daughter, Doris, total of $30 a month for the making a family, it was found that the grand total would be about $4,000. The decision was at once reached to take $2,800 of this at once and pay the which is mortgage on property, worth about $4,000, and then let the compensation run a shorter period. When the widow learned of this action she was delighted and at once dispatched a letter to Governor Glynn, expressing her gratitude to the State. Had the home been lost Mrs. Garland said today her chance of earning a decent livelihood would have been gone, but now she would be able to give her daughter an education.

her letter to Governor Glynn Mrs. Garland says: been informed by a representative of the Workmen's CompenCommission that the commission has awarded me $2,800 with which to pay off a mortgage on my house. Words fail me in trying to tell you how much I appreciate the humanity and sympathetic generosity of the commission. It meant protection to me at a time when I most needed it. My little girl, just 1 year old today, is assured of having a home and I am relieved of the mental worry incident to the possibility of having to lose what my husband tried so hard to gain.

"Under the ruling of the commission I am enabled not only to save my home, but I will have, during the period of my greatest necessity, a semimonthly payment sufficient, along with the income from the little business I am trying to work up, to keep me and my child. "I cannot speak too highly of Commissioner Mitchell, whose wise advice and sympathetic concern made possible the award passed upon by the commission yesterday. He acted toward me brother toward a sister in disas a tress, and I shall never forget his bighearted conduct. "It seems to me that if you were responsible for no other act during your official career, the Workmen's Compensation Law should be sufficient to merit the thanks of every citizen of the State of New York. "I am sure that in my home the name of Governor Martin H.

Glynn will be held in the highest regard because of the law which he made possible. "The blessings of a widow and a fatherless child will follow you throughout your career." FLAMMAN DIDN'T ANSWER. Republican Candidate a Bull Moose Committeeman. Eugene M. Travis, G.

In a talk with the eighty-five instrumentalists of the New York Symphony Orchestra, at their first rehearsal this season, in Aeolian Hall, Manhattan, the conductor, Walter Damrosch, was reminded that thirteen nations are represented in the artistic ensemble. Good music and war arguments, he said, do not go together. They should remember that all are now Americans and no discussions on the war were to be in order. There are patriotism, culture and cultivation, he reminded his musicians, in countries other than those where a man is born. There should be thanks given that this country is peaceful, and instead of anger, there should be only pity for suffering humanity.

The orchestra is to open season in Pittsburg in two weeks, its and will be heard in Aeolian Hall on the afternoon of October 23. LOST AND FOUND. PARROT, Mexican, yellow head: $5 reward LOST if returned to Mrs. MOUNTAIN, 1156 Myrtle av, Brooklyn. LOST BANK BOOK No.

WHITE IS TREASURER Persuaded to Handle Republican State Committee Funds. Alexander M. White, who defeated Henry Erwin for the Republican State Con Committeemanship In the First Assembly District at the primaries, has been selected for the treasurership of the State Committee. White has been under pressure to take this place for some time. He would not become a candidate for it at the organization meeting of the State Committee last week and then a committee consisting of the new State chairman, Frederick C.

Tanner; Samuel S. Keonig, chairman of the New York County Committee; Jacob A. Livingston, chairman of the Kings County executive committee, and Merton E. Lewis of Monroe were appointed to go out and find a treasurer. Yesterday they "found" White, and he has agreed to take the job.

Mr. White, a prominent resident of the Heights section, is 44 years old, anti-Barnes man, and for a long time the political enemy of Michael J. Dady, against whose leadership in the First District he led several revolts. Recently peace has been patched up between them and Dady supported White Erwin for State Committeeman against in the primaries this fall. APPRAISALS.
