August Hecker, who Was a lifelong resident of the Eastern District, and wae born in the old Eighteenth Ward In 1863, the son of William and Ida Hecker, waa burled Monday from his late residence at 130 Eldert street His death on Friday last was caused byVoId, of 84 Him rod street, Brooklyn, died FRIDAY NIGHT BROADWAY FERRY WILL BE ONE OF THE FIVE.

ereeme That Not Much Harm Will Done, as Trucking Ha For Sjome Tim Abandoned th Ferries hi Favor of th Williamsburg Bridge Acting Mayor Trying to EfTect Cempromls. Five ferry line that "hare been losing money since th opening of Williams. burg Bridge will close prmannUy ai ciook next Friday ntgnt, aecoraing to announcements poittd. by the-New York Terminal Company, which reaantly acquired title to the property of the bankrupt Ferry Company. The closing of the ferries I not likely to make any serious difficulties for the trucking bust- i of the Eastern District The lines to be oleosa are th same that the ewnr have been trying, to Ball to the City of New York for They run from tb foot of Broadway and toe foot of Grand street, Brooklyn.

The Houston and Grand street ferry. the most Important In the Eastern District, will not abut down, but will give an enlarged service for the benefit of the trucking In that section. This feary Is owned and operated by the Houston Street Ferry Company, it has Its Brooklyn terminal adjoining the Grand street terminal of the old Brooklyn ferry Company. Th Williamsburg Bridge, It be lieved, will be more than ample to take cars of all the track and wagon that hav used the ferrlea xrora loot of Broadway, almost under the bridge. The great majority of trucks have been using tb bridge ever since it waa opened for traffic, both because of its convenience and the great saving ef fected by the low rates on the bridge.

The two Greenpolnt lines of the Brooklyn Ferry Company or New York Terminal Company as It Is new known, will not close down. These linea run from Tenth street and Greenpolnt and Twenty-third street and Greenpolnt. They are money-making lines snd for that reason will be Th decision to close down five lines was reached after Ineffectual efforts had been made to sell the property to the city. For a long time the line from the foot of Grand street, Brooklyn, to the foot of Grand street, Manhattan, and the lines from the foot of Broadway to Twenty-third street, Roosevelt street, Grand street and Forty-second street had been unprofitable. Tbe rates charged by the ferry company sqemed high, when compared with the rates over the bridge, and th manufacturers of the Eastern District who had a great deal of to do abandoned the ferries for the bridge.

Controller Met said soma time ago that the ferry officials were bluffing when' they said they would close their terries. The ferry people posted notices to the effect that the services of employes- would not be needed after July 31. Monday morning It had up the following additional notice: To the Public Notice is hereby given that all ferry service from the foot of Broadway, Brooklyn, to Manhattan; also from Grand street, Brooklyn, to Grand street, Manhattan, will be permanently discontinued at 9 o'clock In the evening, July 81, 1908. Aotlng Mayor McGowan ssld that he was willing to enter Into a conference for the purpose of arranging a compromise whereby the ferries may be kept in operation until October, when the city Will be empowered under 'an act passed by the last Legislature to purchase ferry property. McGowan said that the fact that the committee' of ths Board of Estimate had bean discharged from consideration of -the matter did not mean that the administration had 'ceased to take an active interest In the proposed purchase of the ferries.

Mr, McGowan said: "Aa acting mayor, I cannot be th person to take the Initiative, for Mayor McClellan la absent and I would not attempt to Interfere with any plan he may have had in mind. My attitude is that 1 do not want to impede the commercial progress of the persons who use the ferrlea I do not want to Cause the stockholders of the operating corpora, tlon any financial losa; but I do believe that an unofficial agreement may be made between the administration and the company whereby the ferry aervlc may be continued and I aiq willing to meet the representative of the company on the question a soon aa they desire." Captain 8. B. Stoney, superintendent of the ferry line of the New York Terminal Company, said that he didn't know what the plana of the company were. He said that he and all the men on the five lines operating from the foot of Grand street and Broadway, Brook, lyn.

had been notified that their aervioe would not be needed after o'clock Friday night He thought the company would close down th lines. Four Hundred Msn Thrown Out. Nearly 400 men will be thrown out of employment by nine o'clock In the evening of Friday, July 31, by th closing down of th ferrle and most of them are contemplating their future with something Ilka despair. As passengers on ths ferries are aware, most of the employes er old men who have been with the ferry oompanle for years and have grown gray In the service. But a lifetime of faithful service will count for nothing, as the New York Terminal Company has not been able to make th ferries pay, and the city has refused to buy them at tb price demanded by the company.

Captain S. B. Stoney, the superintendent of the Williamsburg Ferry for years, said that there was no question that the boats would stop running at the hour announced on the placards of th company, which have been In place at the ferry slips for weeks. The ferries to be closed Are the Roosevelt street. Grand street.

East Twenty-third street and East Forty-second street lines from the foot of Broadway, and the Grand street ferry from th foot of Grand street, Brooklyn, to Grand street, Manhattan. On all of these line the majority of the employes have been serving from fifteen to fifty years and have almost beqav. brought up in the employ of th company. They, are trained to their espsolal worlf, and they can do no other. They know that their gray hair would render their application for work to any other concern unsuccessful, snd as the majority of them have families dependent upon them, they see rocks ahead in their course worse than they ever encountered in their years of sailing across the river.

One of the oldest men on the river is Nlmrod Baulair, who com from a family of pilots. Hs has been a pilot on the Roosevelt street ferry for fifty years, and his father waa a pilot on ths first ferry from Broadway to Manhattan Island, which started in 1835. Captain Baulair recalls the time when thert was not a pier nor a bulkhead from th foot of North Second street to the Wallabout and he knows the treacherous currents of the East River better, perhaps, than any other man. Captain Walter McAllister la another old pilot who will be thrown out of work. He has been employed by ths company for about forty years.

Cap tain James Lockman has been a pilot for fifty yeara on the rtver, and he, too, will have to retire. All of these men are vigorous and as keen as can be found In many a day's Journey, aid they are experts In their line. Thorns Baasenten la another one of these sturdy old chaps. He has been piloting thousands of people a day across th river for forty years. William William, son, the oldest deckhand, has worked fpr the company early and late for thirty years.

Aa the final fittings were not finished until yesterday the meeting' was the first opportunity the members had to Inspect their new lodg. lngs, and they turned out BOO strong for the occasion.

President Clifford called the 'meeting to order shortly before 9 o'olock and the routine business Of the eve ning was quickly finished.

I Ex-Assemblyman Mooney. when he rose to speak, was greeted with cheers and applause from the large crowd.

He rehearsed briefly the struggle which McCarren has been making and spoke of ths unfair tactics used. against him by Tammany men at home and In both State and National conven tions. Mr. Mooney went on to, say that he did not expect a walkover, but that on the contrary the fight for leadership between him and Lynch would be hard and close. However, he said, If his friends would dn all that they 'had promised and would do honest, conscientious work at the primaries his victory was assured.

Ross O. Sidney, a member of the board of directors, said: "Yes. the fight will undoubtedly be a hard one, but I have personally been over every Inch of ground In thr district and I don't see how we. enn lose.

Senator McCarren Is finding the most opposition to him as a county leader in the Buahwick, Rldgewood and East New lerk sections, where the antla are organised -In force. In the Brownsville end of East New York he has selected former Assemblyman William ilooney to tight his battles against Pat Lynch In the Twenty-third Assembly District. Jf Mooney cannot down Lynch nobody can. Although he Is quite a young man, politic Is no new gams td Mooney.

He has been in politics since he cast his first vote, about ten years ago. He has lived all his life In the neighborhood and now Uvea with his wife and daugb-tor st 103 Utlca avenue. He has been always an ardent baseball player and manager of the Utira baseball team or several seasons. He has many friends among the young men of the district. In the Legislature he Introduced the Sunday baseball, bill and secured Its passage by the Assembly, a thing which ho one bad been able to accomplish, before, and he was complimented by Pceaker Wadsworth- for his good work, lie has opened headquarters for the contest at Herkimer street.

Patrick Lynch Is one of the seven leaders who came out against Senator SlcCarren'S leadership on the day before the last primary election. He ha been the recognized leader of the Twenty-third Assembly District for years, and the leading Democratic club of the district bears his name. He has lived In the district for twenty years and has been active In politics all that time. He engaged originally In the liquor busi and for the last ten years has been conducting operations in the bttlld ing line very Successfully. He was the superintendent of the Wallabout Mar ket about ten years ago, and Is now In charge of the Bureau of Highways, a position to which he was, recently appointed.

About fourteen years ago he organised the P. F. Lynch Regular Democratic Club of the Twenty-third Assembly District, which now occupies a fine clubhouse at the corner of Rock- away avenue and Fulton street. This olub, which Is also a benefit association, which takes care of its members when they are sick or disabled, has a member. ship Of about 1,400 and has done a great deal of good throughout the section.

He Is married and has four children, two boys and two girls, and lives with his fnmtlv nt 117ft Herkimer street AlexapdW Kataky, Who as organizer of the Pequod Club in the Twenty-third Assembly District was selected as the executive member of the Kings County Democracy from the district, has been gather reluctant to Join forces with Lynch. Mr. Katsiry claims that he should- get recognition as the original antl-McCarren leader of the section, but it Is believed that he will join Issues with Lynch against William Leo Mooney before the coming primary. Mr. Katzky was born in Brooklyn and has lived for thtrty-one years In the section.

He is engaged In the fur business and has never held a pollt1calfflce. He was secretary of Lynoh's "organization for three years, betore the Inst reapportion ment. He is married and has one son and uvea at S4 taipn avenue. In that part of East NeV York com prlBlng the Twenty-second Assembly District "the man" sleeted by the Senator to down Jim Slnnott Is Robert Craig. has a.bfg-lob on his bands.

and nobody knows It better than himself, as the Sinhott Cohorts are welded together as closely as the units of flnelv temDered steel. Robert F. Gralg, who has been prominent for years as a ieader in the civic improvement societies of the city and at present Is president of the Twenty-sixth Ward Board of Trade, Is heading the opposition to Sinnott's leadership in the Twentjt-second District, and has received pledges of support from many prominent Democrats of the section. This district, in which Is comprised the old town of New Lots, has seen many hot fights in the past, but from present Indications they will all be put In the shade by the one which Is coming on. Mr.

Craig has not been, up to this time, very active In local politics, although he has always been loyal Democrat anc, hag done everything In his power to advance the interests of his section. He has been the real estate Business for years and was on of the organizers of the Board of Trade, fourteen years ago. He acted for two years as Its secretary, and this Is his second term as president of the organization.

He la now a clerk In the Seventh District Municipal Court, and was formerly clerk of the Children's Court, He Is the executive member of the Twenty-second District Regular Democratic Club, which has a fine large clubhouse at 179 Hendrlx street and a large membership. He has had to defend his position ss leader of the district many times at the primaries. Ha has five sons who are being trained to become good Democrats. Henry Hasenfiug, who succeeded his brojther as leader of the Nineteenth Assembly District, haa a hard row -to ho' There Is a widespread dissatisfaction against "family" leadership, and severalxare ready to pluck the crown of leadership from his brow at the com. Ing primaries.

In the Nineteenth Assembly District there are several sspirants for the place of leader held by Henry Hasenfiug, who succeeded his brother. Senator Conrad Hasenfiug. as executive member in the Codnty Committee upon the retirement of the Senator from active politics only a few weeks ago. These opponents of Hasenfiug include Otto' Wlcke, August Kleb and William MarenhO. So far thase men have not Settled between themselves who will lead the contest against Mr.

Hasenfiug. Hsnry Hasenfiug was born In New Ybrk City about forty-six years ago and has lived in his present neighborhood for the past twenty years. He is at present the chief clerk In the Lee' Avenue Court. He was at one In the Street Cleaning Department as foreman, and was before that a county detective In District Attorney Clarke's office. He Is a member of the Order of Foresters, and several other societies and clubs of the section and has a large number of friends.

He Is iharrled and has a large family. The fight of Denis Winters against William F. Delaney In the Twentieth Assembly District la looked upon as very much In the" nature of a fare. William is for McCarren and has always been, consistently so. Dlnnls well, Dlnnis Is agin him.

That's' all. William F. Delaney, the popular clerk of the Children's Court, has been the leader of the Twentieth Assembly District for the past two years. He has done much since his accession to the position to increase the Democratic vote of the district, 'which for a long time was regarded as the stronghold of No. 2 Coupon No.

The evidences of this backfire are be lieved to be on the back of the girl's hand, but In order to determine the fact absolutely these marks Will be compared With those left on the chamois. Similarity will practically prove that the girl shot herself, the police say.

A difference will place Shellard in a very bad position. When Captain Wormeil was questioned as to whether a fund was being raised among the men attached to the Ham burg avenue station to defray the ex pen sea of the trial of Shellard, he said that he knew, nothing' of the matter. The captain went ka far as to say, however, that he expected that there would be a big shaka-un In the Ham burg avehue station. This Is a matter upon Whloh he refused to speak before. "tora case of this kino," he- ssld.

"in Which the police play such an Important part, a shake-up is to bs expected. As to its extent. I am unable fa apeak." in the New Jersey avenue police court this morning Policeman David Shellard pleaded not giulty to the charge of wis ful murder. He was remanded to the Raymond street Jail until. August 12 Without ball.

Shellard was represented by Counsellor B. Hanson, who declared that he was hot ready to go on with the examination and asked that the case be set over two weeks in order to give counsel time to get the minutes of the coroner Inquest, and other tesn tlmony of value to the prisoner's at-feme. Magistrate Furlong warned Counsellor Hanson that if his client- be Innocent of the charge -against him it Is unjust to dsfer examination for sb long a period. Captain Wormeil, of the Hamburg avenue preoinct, said ha wouM be ready to proceed agnlnat Shellard on August 6, but upon Shes- lard's own request examination was set down for August 12. As Magistrate John F.

Hylan returns from his vacation next Monday the examination will undoubtedly be conducted before him. In anticipation of 'any possible demonstration In the courtroom or in the street when Shellard was arraigned the police force around New Jersey avenue was doubled this morning. Four polio captains and as many sergeants were on hand when Shellard was brought up In the van from the Raymond Street Jail. Among tbem was Captain Wormeil of the Hamburg svenue station; Captain Wendell of ths Borough Hall precinct; Captain Carey of headquarters and acting Captain McCormick of the Liberty avenue precinct. Sergeant Duffy of the Court Squad was placed In personal charge of the court officers, the number of which wasXtnaterlally Increased, and Sergeant Ryan of the Liberty avenue station had charge of ten or more men from this precinct, charged with keeping the 1 streets clear.

Policemen were posted at the corner of Fulton street and New Jersey and at the corner of Atlantic avenue and New Jersey, avenue. Between the two cor-ners. Policeman Frank Flynn of the Liberty avenue station kept the crowd on the go, but there was no. demon stratum of any kind. MARRIAGE LICENSES.

LETTER LOOKS i LIKE GENUINE to Ay' DETERMINE WHETHER MOB. OEM OR SUICIDE. follceman Shellard Carried Letter In 1 Peekct for tome Tim Swears It Was Written by Barbara Reig prove In-fatuatlen for Pellesman if Written by Dead Girl, The letter that Policeman shellard fa to Captain Wormsil, said by, Shel-lard to have been written by Barbara fceig, is variously believed to be gen tilne or a forg'try.

Th letter, if genuine corroborate Bhellard'S claim that the klrl was Infatuated With him, and ln-erentlally that she way have 'commit ted suicide In the darkness of the shelter at Irving Park, when he reflated her pleading to abandon hi wife and babe and elope with her. There were grave doubts In soma Quarter a to the genuineness of the' letter and a belated effort was made to get specimens of the girl's handwriting; for the purpose of subjecting all the samples to expert comparison. What the pollco have dona in the blatter. so far has only surrounded It Nwith deeper It was declared by the police officials that some specimen's of the girl's writing; were secured, and the official also said, unofficially, that there was a marked similarity In the writing contained in the police-, tnan's most important piece of evi denes and In other letters supposedly Written by the girl. Inquiry as to how the unofficial opinion aa to the similarity in the handwritings Was arrived at, brought no enlightening Information from the police, it was stated that the specimens with Which the letter was compared were 'Obtained at the girl's horns, A question as to how letters written by tH girl, Obviously to other persons, could have Come back her own home, was answered by unofficial statements to ths ftect that the letters and postals secured were not written by the girl, hut that she had written comments and made-memoranda on the sheets.

These notations were dates, which the girl is deolared to have assigned tot appointments requested by the writers of th missives, No official statements were made con. cernlng' these things, however. In fact, even the information volunteered by police officials In a personal way was vague. The best information obtain, able indicated that he specimens of handwriting were taken to Daoutv ftnmlssloner Baker at looal headquar He and several other officials leaked them over carefully and compar ed them with the "Dear Dave" letter and came to the conclusion that there was the narked similarity sooken of. Not being handwriting experts, none of the officials wag in a position to aay anything officially about the matter, These who are insisting on getting at the real facta in the mysterious case are confronting the defenders of Bhel-lard With another important question.

On Its answer much will be determined as to the manner of man Shellard was and were his hablta with respect to. his associations with women oatsida his family These people want a clear explanation or why Shellard kept such a vary dan erous missive in his possession. It Is argued by those who do not agree with captain wormeil and other passive no. lice officers that a married tsan with only enough-sense to guide a child through Ufa would destroy beyond res urrectlon- an article that would cause him no end of trouble with his family. Married men who gets letters from other-.

women sometimes let them lay about, carelessly, and au kinds of trou ble results, It is argued. Shellard took a big chance, it was pointed out, but it may be that the.ehanoe he will stand him in good stead when he la pressed from all sides as the inquiry develops new xactsv But it was not said by the police that an effort' had been made to get real letters written by Barbara Relg to ethet persons besides Shellard. Suoh documents would tend to decide the question of the letter to Shellard with out a doubt, but the police, so far as (fan; be learned, are not trying to get sucVi documents. At any rate, they have unearthed any, Handwriting eipertsj will be called in to look over the notations on letters re ceived and compare it with the "Dear Dave' letter. Just what arrangements the police wilt make to determine that point has not yet been announced.

Possibly the police will leave that part of It to the district attorney, when he comes to handle the case as prosecutor Of the accused policeman. But there are high members of the polloe department who have an idea that the district attorney may not have a chance to take such a deep Interest in the case, Captain Gary, who has charge of the Brooklyn Homicide Bureau, has determined upon a series of experiments by which it Is hoped that it -may be deter, mined without a doubt whether or not Barbara Relg killed herself or was slain by Pollcemaa David Shellard. This experiment will consist in fjrfng a bullet through the brain of a calf and noting the backfire effect At the time Of the autopsy perform ad upon the body of Barbara Belg, smell pieces of the fkln adjoining the nails on the right band were removed. An examination by Coroner's Physician Wuest at the time showed that this skin bore the marks of powder. But those who- were arguing for a murder contended that I mess powder maras couia nave been received by the girl even if she did not 4 herself fire the revolver.

It is for this reason that the experiments are te be 'miide. The experiment will be extremely aim-pla. The ens who will make It will hold i.uiMii.,r. i acute rheumatism after a month's ill ness. He had for many years been in the employ of Felton ft of 388 Broadway, Manhattan.
