THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW VORT. MONDAY. DECEMBER 3. 1017.

3 SECLUSION WITH SON, MRS. DE SAULLES SPENDS HAPPY DAY Jury Was Satisfied She Was Irresponsible at Time of Shooting. WILL REMAIN IN AMERICA (Special to The Eagle.) Roslyn, L. December 3-Mrs. Blanca de Saulles, her child restored to her, spent today in quiet seclusion at her home, seeing nobody, not even her close friends.

It was explained to callers that it was her desire to be left alone. One of the jurors today declared that the men on the jury were satisfled that Mrs. de Saulles was mentally irresponsible at the time of the shooting. Her own story made a great impression on them. They believed that it was a sincere outpouring from the heart and not a narrative that had been carefully rehearsed before hand.

The jurors were of the opinion that this story was in nowise weakened on cross-examination. Another thing that made a profound impression on the jury was that part of Justice Manning's charge in which he spoke of Christ on the cross at Calvary of the Lord's words, "Father forgive them, for they know not what they do." The jury, according to The Eagle's informant, was not very favorably impressed with the presence in court of the relatives of John de Saulles, who occupied seats opposite the jury boginey placed great weight in the testimony of the doctors for the defense, which, to their mind, was not materially shaken by the cross nation. They also discounted the letters introduced by the State on the score that Mrs. de Saulles was trying to make her husband believe that she was the kind of woman her husband wished her to be in order to hold him. Little Jack 'de Saulles was restored to his mother yesterday by Henry A.

Utterhart, attorney for Mrs. de Saulles, just when Mrs. de Saulles was beginning to despair of getting the child, who had been in the custody of his dead father's relatives. Mr. Uterhart appeared with the boy in his arms delivering him over to his mother, made her understand that "Toodles" was now hers "for ever and ever." Mother and son were locked in a close embrace for a long, long time.

When the transport of joy had subsided, Mrs. de Saulles consented to talk to reporters. While "Toodles," wearing a sheriff's badge and playing with a visitor's cane, romped about the place, she sat with radiant face and talked of her plans, herself and her trial. expect to remain here. I have no plans for the future, and see no reason why I should go to Chile.

I love America, and I love Americans. I shall never forget the kindness, bigheartedness and purely candid gentlemanliness of American men and the loyalty of American women. I love the land of the Stars and Stripes, and I shall make it my home." That the boy is happy at being back, never to leave mother again, was very plainly noticed. The fact that Mrs. August Heckscher relinquished the custody of the boy without court proceedings was not a surprise to Mrs.

de Saulles. OBITUARY See also Death Notices, last page. HARRY KILCOURSE, of 50 Forty-ninth struet, Corona, L. was buried today in St. John's Cemetery.

He pointed to the increasing list of Teuton atrocities, and the inability of civilization to compromise with an unrepentant Germany. Dr. Hillis said in part: "Germany is now spinning her web of peace, all pervasive, malignant and diverse, just as in 1913 she was preparing her web of war. But at all costs we must go on. There can be 110 compromise with an unrepentant Germany.

Forgiving an assassin and a burglar while he holds the tighter, his loot. but wants is as intellectually absurd as it is morally monstrous. When Germany is willing to lift up her hands and cry out in true repentance and in the spirit of restitution like Zaccheus, I have wronged any Frenchman, Belgian or Pole I will restore unto hun sevenfold.

MAN AND THE BAYONET "The Brotherhood of Man and Bayonet Practice" was the title of the sermon preached by the Rev. Charles H. Lyttle in the Second Unitarian Church yesterday morning. His text was from the seventh chapter of Romans: "So then I find that to me who would do good, evil is present." Mr. Lyttle drew the attention of his congregation to the trenchant tagonism between the ideal of the Brotherhood of Man and the patriotic duty which demanded of the young soldier now in training the apparent sacrifice of his finest moral scruples in the simulated hatred of the bayonet drill in which German dummies are pierced as effectively as possible, The sermon was, therefore, an indirect attempt not to solve, the dilemma of the "conscientious objector," but to demonstrate that a clear unflinching realization of the antinomy indicated was the only way in which the vision and the duty could be correlated and the vision attained without shame or selfishness.

Emerson's "Voluntaries" were the morning reading. HELD ON BURGLARY CHARGE. Louis Thompson, 37 years old, of 77 Woodhall street, was held in $1,000 bail today for examination December 6, on a charge of burglary.

Fire which occurred in the American Book Company Building, Washington Square, Manhattan, caused a postponement today of the New York University classes. The classes will also be closed tonight but will be resumed tomorrow. No damage was done by the fire to the New York University portion of the building save to the shaft on the Waverly place side.

All this makes it necessary to on, in the hope of saving the reso, mainder of the two million Arnienians. A message from Beirut, where our own Howard Bliss is at work, speaks of picking up a score of dead bodies of the refugees who have fallen dead in the streets of his city. The unspeakable cruelties, also, of the Germans, now being revealed by the broken and spent wrecks of men and returning via Switzerland to die in France and. Belgium, puts us under the most solemn obligations to go on to the end.

We can endure the loss of all our sons, but we cannot endure their cowardice and the surrender of their great convictions to save their lives and our gold. We appeal from the Lansdowne of November, 1917, broken of heart through the loss of his own, worn out through long life of service to his country, to the Lansdowne who stood by Gladstone in the olden days. when that hero was battling against the unspeakable Turk, and stopped the butcheries in Bulgaria and Armenia. Any peace without victory with an unrepentant Germany is immoral. It renders nugatory the martyrdom of four millions of our soldiers in France and Belgium.

Who could meet the eyes of these soldier boys if we were to fling away the fruitage of liberty and humanity for which they lived and died? Surrender to Germany means the crucifixion of Jesus afresh. It is for every patriot and lover of his fellow men to toil on to the end, until this wild beast that is rending the white flesh of humanity lies dead in the midst of its mangied victims." George T. Berry, head of the McCall Mission in Paris, delivered a most interesting address upon conditions in France in the throes of war. PUBLIC SCHOOLS AID IN SWEATER "DRIVE" Pupils of No. 55 Give Up Candy and Christmas Cards to Buy Wool.

NO. 50 ALSO DOING GOOD WORK. Entertainment at Mansion House on Wednesday Evening to Help Fund. Public School No. 55 has added materially to the good work that it has already done in the sweater campaign by the purchase today of $40 worth of wool, enough to make twenty more sweaters for Brooklyn boys in the service.

It has already been told how the children in this school bought $20 worth of yarn by saving their candy pennies, and now they have set out to make further sacrifices by dispensing with Christmas cards and the school Christmas tree in order to turn that money into their wool fund to provide comfort jackets for the men who are fighting for Uncle Sam. This is the way that these sturdy little soldiers in the ranks of democracy are doing their bit for their country. And it is a big sacrifice for them, all things considered. The teachers in this school also deserve a great deal of credit in this matter. Under the leadership of Miss Mary A.

Mason, principal, they have all asked the children not to give the usual Christmas presents to the teachers, but to turn that money over to the wool fund. The teachers are also doing the knitting with the help of the pupils and their friends. Miss Charlotte Mason of 126 Macon street, a sister of then principal of the school, is interested the work. She came to Miss Calder's headquarters in The Eagle Building today and bought the wool for the school, advancing part of the money, herself, to supplement that taken from the children's Dox at the school. Public School No.

Miss Rebecca Fader, one of the teachers, is campaign chairman in District 52, where the work is progressing satisfactorily.

Greenberg, to co-operate with Miss Fader in the campaign. The auxiliary will meet Tuesday evening in Public School No. 50, and anybody who wishes to join will be welcome. Don't forget the entertainment at the Mansion House, 137 Hicks street, Wednesday evening, at 8:15. Leon Dabo, the artist, who visited France with Dr.

Newell Dwight Hillis, will tell what he saw at the front. Mrs. Oliver Betsche, the well-known Brooklyn contralto, will sing. An admission fee of 25 cents will be charged for the benefit of the wool fund. Twenty-eight sweaters were turned in by individual knitters up to noon today.

Reynolds, William M. and Charles O'Malley, all under indictment in connection with Greve, the Rockaway land inquiry, began their fight today before Justice Goff in the criminal branch of the Supreme Court, to have the indictments dismissed. None of the defendants was present. Former District Attorney Charles Perkins represented Bailey. John B.

Stanchfield appeared for former Senator Reynolds; Judge Oeland for Greves, and George Gordon Battle for appeared in person to conduct the O'Malley. District Attorney Swann prosecution. Mr. Perkins began the argument leading to a motion for dismissal by requesting that he and his clients be allowed to inspect the minutes of the Grand Jury which found the indictment. He declared that' from the record of the testimony he could show that the indictment could not stand.

The alleged crime of conspiracy did not exist after 1913, he said, and under the law an indictment cannot be brought in this State for a crime committed more than three years previously. Lawyer Perkins contended that an examination of the minutes would show that his client's constitutional rights had been violated in that he had been made to testify against himself before the Grand Jury.

Assistant United States District Attorney Henry Ward Beer stated that the pleas were entered by the defendants largely to escape the possibility of deportation to Belgium, where they might face a firing squad. Tinck, John De Bruyn, a wholesale druggist at 105 Canal street, Manhattan, and Franz Bollaert, August C. Mayaert, Jan, John and Franz Boilaert, firemen on the Belgian relief ship Gothland, were those who pleaded guilty to the indictment charging them with taking rubber goods to Holland from this country aboard the relief ships Samoland, Gothland and Syrie.

Tinck, De Bruyn and Jan and Franz Bollaert also pleaded guilty to indictments charging them with smuggling into this country 12,000 000.

At the time that the arrest was made by Lieutenant Busby's men it was stated that the relief ships carried to Holland for the use of the Germans 000 worth of goods weekly.

The Belgian counsel, who was much interested in the case, was represented in court today. Seven others of the band are now in Atlanta Federal Prison, to which they were sentenced by Judge Veeder after pleas of guilty made two months ago. Rosa Tinck, wife of Louis Tinck, also indicted in the rubber case, was discharged. BROOKLYN COURTS SUPREME COURT. ment.

At Any Druz Store LONDON MAY SEE EAGLE WAR POSTERS Exhibit at Paris Bureau Is Loaned to the Red Cross. PART OF SPECIAL DISPLAY, In addition to banning from office under his administration any one having private business interests who refuses to give them up in order to devote his whole time to the affairs of the city, Mayor-elect Hylan made it plain today that all former city employees now retired on a pension who come to him to get their old places back or to seek new ones are simply wasting their time. During the past few days the Mayor -elect has had several applications from friends of former Democratic officials retired by the Fusion administration under the pension system have them restored to active duty once more. "No one will be appointed to any position by me who is now drawing a pension from the city," declared Judge Hylan emphatically today when questioned by newspaper men just before going on the County Court bench. The Mayor-elect then paid his respects to who have been industriously circulating stories ever since his election to the effect that he would seek the advice of Washington in the appointment of a Police missioner.

"It has been suggested," he was told, "that you would permit the Secretary of War to name the Police Commissioner to demonstrate that New York City stands firmly behind the national Administration in the war." "Do I have to start in all over again to prove my loyalty?" demanded Judge Hylan. "The people of New York," he continued, "elected me perform certain duties. One of them is the selection of a Police Commissioner. I intend to perform that duty." The Mayor-elect was in company with County Leader John H. McCooey last night, but appointments were not discussed.

They were the guests of John McCormack, the singer, at the Academy of Music and at a dinner after the recital. Both were accompanied by their wives as was Mr. McCormack. Miss Virginia Hylan, daughter of the Mayor-elect and John P. Sinnott, his private secretary, were also in the party.

Mr. McCooey arrived at his office this morning minus his voice. It was suggested that he had lost it discussing appointments with the Mayorelect, he dented. After looking around at the shoal of of ers who crowded the ante-room, many of whom were brought down by his statement of Saturday advising prospective job-hunters to file applications anew, he turned to his companions and hoarsely whispered: "I wish I were as deaf as I am hoarse." A new candidate for a berth in the Mayor's cabinet appeared today the person of Peter J. Brady of Queens, secretary of the Allied Printing Union.

Brady's friends are booming him for Commissioner of Licenses. He has mustered strong support, particularly in labor circles, Brady played a prominent part in the campaign as a speaker against the Gary system in the public schools. He was the man who turned over to the Democrats the letter written by Dr. Abraham Flexner to Egerton L. Winthrop on the school question, which played such an important part in the campaign.

MANTEGNA "JUDITH" HERE The famous Mantegna panel, "Judith With the Head of Holofernes," known as the Pembroke Mantegna, which was sold in London four months ago to an art dealer for an unknown purchaser, is now in this country, and is the property of Cari William Hamilton of Great Neck, president of the American-Philippine Company of 50 Broadway. It became known only yesterday that the panel had been bought for Mr. Hamilton's account. The Mantegna, "Judith," is considered the most valuable small painting in the world, and while no price is given in connection with its purchase, it is considered that in ordinary times it would have brought at least $250,000. Before coming into the hands of the Earl of Pembroke, the picture had a romantic history.

For many years it was attributed to Raphael, and at one time was given by King Charles I to Philip, fourth earl of Pembroke, in exchange for a Parmigian and Bellini portrait.
