Bingham Wants New Set of Operators Everywhere. Commissioner nin.rham KEEPS FORCE MOVING Headquarters and Hamilton Ave nue the Storm Centers, HUGHES GOES TO THE BRONX, And Busby Accompanies Him They Did Up Baldwin South Brook lyn Shift. The officials at local police headquar ters were just about recovering from the excitement attendant on cleaning out the telephone bureau when, yesterday after noon, they were shocked into another quiver with the news that the two white haired boys of the detective bureau had been" sent to the Bronx; that Hughes and Busby had been detached from the local headquarters-bureau, and had been consigned' to the quiet' o'f Coatyilie. Lieutenant Edwards Hughes, who was supposed to be to Acting Captain McCauley, had been ruthlessly torn away from his job here, and bad been sent with his side partner, George Tusby, to the Bronx, where they will still continue as detective lieutenants. But it was a shock to the wiseacres, for everybody knew how Hughes stood with the boss of the detectives, and everybody also knew how high in the consideration of Deputy Commissioner O'Keeffe George Busby had been elevated.

Busby's pull, It was believed, was stronger than fifty bands of cowhide. And to think that George had been sent to the Bronx, with Eddie Hughes, was a matter of wonder. It could not be, said the wise men, that O'Keeffe had anything to 'do with it, and Bingham was immediately blamed. Hugbes took pains to assure some of his friends that it was "all a and that time would prove it, but he swore by Bingham and Macaulay's own "nine gods" that he did cot know. a.

blessed reason why he should be sent so far away. There were other doings which the sew ing circle at headquarters could not un derstand. There was the case of Cliff and Powers, for example. Cliff and Pow ers were just at the zenith of their no. lice it seemed, when they were snatched away and were sent to do uniformed duty in- the Fifth street and the Mercer street stations In Man hattan.

The two young men had been de tached from the staff of Inspector Hua sey and had been placed in the borough headquarters squad as special investigators for Deputy Commissioner O'Keeffe and Borough Inspector Flood. And they naa Deen DasKing in the sunshine of of ficial favor for days and davs. sitting with the elect, Macdonald, McQuade and Eberth. in the davtlme and enlovin th.i quips and Jibes of the merry three. Cliff and Powers were the detectives who had gathered the evidence against Inspector naiuwin ana uapiain (Jreamer in the matter of the alleged disorderly house, with the chute and the trap doors and the false wall and the brass checks, at 2 Havemeyer street, and they had encom passed tne destruction of the two hlh officers, who were each fined thirty days pay; and Baldwin was reduced for the tning.

There was a notion this morning that the fall of Cliff and Powers was in some way due to the activities, within a day or two, of Baldwin and Creamer, who are persons not to be trifled with by plain patrolmen, even if they are in the sunshine and in plain clothes, and one dark suggestion, which had no confirmation. was that other people had been watching uu ana rowers from uommissloner Bing ham office, double check on their activities, as it were. It is known that Deputy CommiBsIoner tveene was hastily called over to Mulberry street yesterday to see General Bingham, after Mr. O'Keeffe had SDent. a dreadfully harassing day at the police inais.

ne nasienea to assure a reporter of the Eagle this morning that his visit had something to do with the budget, but it may be. of course, that the cases of Cliff and Powers were also under consideration. Tho third of the surprises yesterday afternoon was the transfer of all of the plain clothes men from the Hamilton avenue- station, and later the transfer of three of the lieutenants of the five In the precinct, Including Lieutenant Lawrence E. Patterson, who had been in command In the absence of Captain Denis Drlscoll, who is at present on his vacation and who will not return until the 26th inst. Just what happened in the Hamilton ave.

nue district could not be found out. There must have been something serious, for this is the first notable cleaning out of a precinct since all of the men in Brownsville were transferred. But Deputy Commissioner O'Keeffe said it was for the good of the service, arid Inspector Hussey said, too, that it was for the good of the service, and further than that they would not go. The Hamilton avenue precinct has always been a thorn in the flesh of the police authorities, for it Is called Brooklyn's Red Light District, and there are hives of disorderly persons in all parts of it. That, in a large degree, is due to the fact that it Is a resort of sailors from all ends of the earth, who land in the Hamilton avenue territory and who immediately seek the company of dissolute persons.

The plain clothes men changed were: John H. Dwan. sent to uniformed duty in tne Hamburg avenue station; Oscar J. Finn, sent to patrol duty In the Amity street station; George D. Hammond, sent to post in the Adams street station; Monroe Green, sent to uniformed duty.

like the rest, in the Flatbush station, and frank Blank, sent to the Fifth avenue station for police duty. lieutenants Patterson, Regan and Mc-Donough were lifted out of the m-eclnct and were scattered. Patterson goes to the Glendale precinct. Regan to the Lone Island City precinct and McDonough to the Astoria precinct. Their places are filled by Lieutenants George E.

Schleno. from Glendale; George Fitigerald, from Astoria, and Jeremiah J. Maglln, from Long Island City. George H. Klrchmar.

the secretarv to Deputy Commissioner O'Keeffe. went away on Saturday on a two weeks vaca tion. He was at' his desk yesterday arid again this morning, "but- why he had returned, was. not-stated, lb may be that the recent Btrenuous outburst of unexpected business In the office brought him back. To-day Mr.

O'Keeffe had a dav off. He went with some' of the health officers over the source of the local water supply. NEAR DEATH WHEN FOUND. Frank Johnson. 25 years old, a waiter, living at 1521 Mermaid avenue.

Coney Island, was found unconscious early this morning in his bed at the above address. He was suffering from gas poisoning. He was removed to the Reception Hospital, where It Is believed he will recover. The police think the gas in his room was turned on accidentally. INDEX To Classified Advertisements in Today's Eagle.

BEGS NOT TO SENT BACK, Immigration Authorities Deaf to Tearful Plea "Trachoma" Serves as an Excuse.

Additional proof of the existence of an "underground railroad" Into America was brought to light on Sunday last by the arrest of a man and girl who were just In the act of leaving the Saratov of the Russian Volunteer fleet, which is tied up at the Bush Terminal stores, at the foot of Forty-second street. Weeping in the detention room on El lis Island yesterday, Paulina Flake, pretty 18-year-old Russian girl, begged the immigration authorities not to deport her. She was suffering from trachoma, and besides, she had been caught in men's clothing, trying to leave the Saratov. The girl told a strange story of hard ship and adventures. She said that she had attempted to steal into America as a last refuge from persecution, which with in two years had robbed her of father, mother and sisters.

When the Inspectors told her that she would probably have to be deported, the girl broke down com pletely and sobbed as If her heart would break. The Immigration officials say that behind the story told by this girl there is evidence of an "underground" system of getting "undesirable citizens" into this country. According to their version of the affair, it appears that certain individuals in Russia have been reaping a rich harvest by passing such persons Into the country In very much the. same way as the Chinese coolies manage to get across the Mexican frontier. It is said that in Llbau, a port on the Baltic, there are a number of enterprising Russians who guarantee to pass all applicants for admission Into the United States for the sum of $72.60.

Those suffering from ailments that would prevent them from passing the medical inspection here, or even in Russia, and "deports," anxious to repeat previous efforts to get Into America, are said to flock to the promoters of this alleged underground" system In liberal numbers. Similar cases have come to light in Brooklyn before and several officers of Russian steamships which enter the docks on the Brooklyn waterfront are now under Indictment. The credit for the arrests made on Sunday morning is due to Commissioner Watchorn, who for some time past has been confident or the existence of a plot to. smuggle undesirable immigrants into this country from Russia. The operations of the alleged illegal immigration promoters exist apparently with the cognizance of the Russian government, or at least of certain Russian officials.

The Saratov Is under the command of Captain Schlchmareff. He was asked if had any stowaways on board and he replied In the negative. Commissioner Watchorn's men, however, concluded that would be best to remain on hand to watch proceedings that might possibly call them Into action. So both men lay in wait on the pier. Shortly after midnight they nabbed a man who dropped down the ship's cable.

He gave his name as Jan Dedemin. and said he came from Kovno, Russia. He said that he had smuggled himself aboard at Libau, and denied that any of the crew had helped him. Later In the night the officers captured the young woman who had attempted to make her escape in disguise. Both were taken to Ellis Island and will be returned to Llbau.

JANITOR SMITH ARRESTED. Held on a Charge of Vagrancy Janitor Next Door Complained. Thomas Smith, 32 years old, janitor for apartment house at 632 Sixth avenue, was arraigned before Magistrate Tlghe this morning in the Butler street police court. Mrs. Tyler Dupont and family live at 630 Sixth avenue.

They have gone to the country for the summer. Some person entered their rooms and stole sixty yards of carpet, and bed linen valued at $50, and two large brass lamps. The janitor in charge of No. 630 had fallen out with Smith, so be Informed police that it was his belief that Smith had committed robbery. When Detectives Malcolm Duffy of the Brooklyn Police Headquarters visited the home of Smith yesterday afternoon he waB not there.

They found him later at Park Circle, basking the sun. When the detective! attempted to arrest him he put up a fight, but quickly subdued. Magistrate Tighe held him for examination on a charge of vagrancy. CLAIMS DEED IS FRAUDULENT. Aged Huntington Woman Brings Suit to Have Paper Nephews Induced Her to Sign Set Aside.

(Special to the Eagle.) Rlverhead, L. July 17 Papers have been filed here in a suit brought by Cecelia Brown, of Huntington, against Wil liam W. DIckerBon and Frank H. Dicker- The plaintiff is the aunt of defendants. Among other things the complaint avers that Mrs.

Anna Hart, a sister, died December 14, 1906, and Susan Dicker-son, another sister, mother of tho de fendants, died on December 18. 1906; that plaintiff was an heir at law of Mr3. Hart as such became the owner of a one-third interest in a piece of Huntington property, the two defendants being co-tenants with the The complaint sets up that on December while the plaintiff was overwhelmed by grief at the death of her two sisters, feeble in health, and totally Ignorant of legal matters, the defendants sought her in the absence of her son-in-law, one Charles Duplay, and Induced her to sign certain paper, which she did not read, which ihey said wes an agreement to to them, the defendants, certa'n property at full value. The defendants, she says in her complaint, were In a great hurry, and. relying upon their word, she signed the paper as requested.

Subsequently she learned the paper she signed was a deed, conveying to the defendants her interest In the property, and learned, too, that it was recorded in Rlverhead in February, 1907, with County Clerk FUnagan. Because they made false statements to her. because they paid her absolutely jothlng for the property, and because she Is destitute, having no means property aside from that in controversy, and no way of earning anything because of age and feebleness, she asks the court declare the deed fraudulent, void of no effect, and that it be cancelled, and also that title to the property be vested In her name. The property in dispute is located on east side of Spring street, Huntington, adjoining the property of John Alsop. RUSSIAN SUSPECTS HELD.

They are suspected of being in ssession of information wnicn may am police in running down the men who murdered Lnnstopoer reara ui jaiuaita. TO DAUGHTERS' WEDDINSS Widow of Cornelius Zabrlskle Is Given Unusual Powers Under His Will. TWO YOUNG WOMEN AFFECTED Their Share in the Estate Is Contingent Upon Marriages Satisfactory to Mother.

Before Miss Orlenla and Miss Elvia Zabrlskle get married they will have to procure the written consent of their mother, unless they choose to sacrifice a fortune for love. The will of the late Cornelius Zabriskie, just filed tor probate, provides especially that his children shall get their mother's written consent to their marriage. The two daughters of Mr. Zabrlskle, living at 846 Carroll street, are popular In Brooklyn society. They will be han- M'capped to a certain extent by their father's will; that Is, If their mother should disapprove of the young men who may win the hearts of the girls.

Here is the unusual clause in the will of Mr. Zabriskie: "If any of my children shall marry without his or her mother's written consent, the mother remaining my widow, unmarried, then no income in excess of 52,500 a year shall be paid to that child during the life of his or her mother, and even though that child may reach the age of thirty years, no part of the principal of my estate shall be paid to that child during the life of his or her mother, unless his or her mother shall consent In writing to the payment." This clause was not put In the will to provide against any love match that Mr. Zabriskie believed to exist at that time. Indeed, his children were too young to be thinking of sweethearts then. The will with the remarkable clause was executed fifteen years ago, on September 23.

1892. Mr. Zabrlskle lived at that time in his old home at 15 Second place. The will was drawn with great care. Mr.

Zabrlskle had it engrossed in the most approved style, with Illuminated emphasis lines and with all the Important words ana phrases distinguished by different and distinctive letters. Mr. Zabriskie gave the sole guardianship of his children then alive and the children who might be born after the execution of the win to his "beloved wife, Orlenla Addle Zabriskie." Mrs. Zabriskie was Orlenia Addle Emerson, of Boston. She was a near relative of Ralph Waldo Emerson.

All the household furniture, books, works of art. silverware, clothing, Jewelry, horses, carriages, harnesses and stable equipments were bequeath to his wife. Also, the homestead was left to her during her life or as long as she remains unmarried. The residue of the estate was left to the Brooklyn Trust Company In trust. The will directs that the trust company shall pay one-half of the net Income to Mrs.

Zabrlskle as long as she shall remain unmarried. So much of the other half as shall be necessary for the suitable maintenance, support and education of his children shall be paid to Mrs. Zabrlskle on her demand, she to be sole judge of expenditures. This shall continue until each child reaches the age of 21 or gets married. As each child reaches the age of 21.

or marries, his or her portion of the income is to be paid to him or her at stated periods until he or she reaches the age of 30 years, when one-half of the principal is to be set aside and the Income paid to Mrs. Zabriskie, while the other half shall be apportioned amen th hii. dren and each child that is 30 rein of age snail receive nis or her portion. In case of the marriage of his widow, all the property will revert to the children. WOMAN ASSAULTED IN HOME.

Husband Had Gone Into Barn. Stranger Got Away Police Are on the Lookout. While her husband was in the barn feeding his horse, early this mornlne. Mrs. Julia Engelken of 6908 Third avenue was attacked and brutally assaulted by an unknown man, who had entered through the rear door that had been left unlocked.

Engelken, who has a bakery in the front part of his residence, heard his wife scream for help rushed into the bedroom on the first floor. Soon he heard another scream, and dashing around the corner of the building he found his wife in a desperate encounter with a well-dressed stranger. On seeing Engelken the assailant, who up to this time had been held fast by the plucky little woman, wrenched himself free and dashed down the street. Engelken gave chase, but the stranger was too fast for him and succeeded In getting away. The police were notified.

WOODMERE'S $10,000 SCHOOL. Work to Begin at Once on Addition to Present Building. (Special to the Eagle.) Woodmere, L. July 17 Work on the new addition to the schoolhouse at this place, for which an appropriation of $10,000 was voted by the taxpayers of the district two weeks ago, is expected to be started in another week, and will be rushed as rapidly as is consistent with good work, bo as to have the school ready time for the fall term. The addition will contain six class rooms and will do away with part time classes.

A movement is under way by the people of the Grant Park section for the opening of a school In that place, as the distance the children must now travel is too far, especially In stormy weather. It proposed to rent a smalt building for school purposes. TWO CHAUFFEURS FINED. One Paid $30 and the Other $25 in Jamaica Court of Sessions.

FAMILY IN THE MOUNTAINS. Fort Hamilton Police Elated Over Their Capture, and Hope to Clear TJp Other Bobberies. A burglar was caught last night in the home of David Porter, one of the leading and most influential citjzens in the Bay Ridge and Fort Hamilton sections and for many years president of the Bay Ridge and Fort Hamilton Citizens Association.

Mr. Porter lives, with his family, at 360 Seventy-fourth street, a large and elegant home, and one of the show houses of the district. Just now the Porter family is away In the moun tains, but Mr. Porter's business Inter- ests keep him in the city, although he has closed up his Bay Ridge home. Last night, at a few minutes before 9 a neighbor saw a candle flicker in the Porter residence.

Knowing that the Porter home was closed he notified Patrolman James J. Murphy, whom he found a few blocks away, and Murphy telephoned for the reserves from the Fort Hamilton station. They came in the wagon within fifteen minutes. Patrolmen McNulty, Lavender, Waring and Nolan surrounded the house, while the others went In by the front door, which Lieutenant Hyland unlocked with the keys Mr. Porter had left at the station house.

In the lobby the officers found a man squatting on the floor. In front of him was a table cloth spread out and In the cloth were a number of fine dresses which he was Just ready to do up in a bundle which might be easily carried" away. "What are you doing here?" Queried Lieutenant Hyland. "I camo In to And a place to lie down," answered the man. He was taken to the station house, where he said he was Daniel Lapplne, 46 years old, a French Canadian, living at 70 Underhlll avenue.

A two inch screwdriver, so fixed that it might easily be used as a Jimmy, was found In his pocket. A careful examination of the Porter homestead revealed the fact that the man had got in by means of a cellar window which he broke open. He then proceed ed to the kitchen, but found the door locked. Then be went back to the cellar, got an ax and chopped the door leading to the kitchen open. There he found a candle and matches and then he proceeded to ransack the house.

This morning he was taken down to local headquarters on State street and had his picture taken for nothing, and then brought to the Fifth avenue court Magistrate Geismar had departed to look after the Coney Island court, so he was not arraigned until the afternoon. Magistrate Steers, who was on the bench, held him for further examination. The Fort Hamilton police are overjoyed at their capture, for they believe that this man may have some connection with some the various burglaries which have aroused that section of late and brought so much criticism upon the police. With such long poBts as the big suburban district requires and with so few men the police have a hard time of it. To-day the detectives at the station are looking into Lappine's case and it may be that they will be able to find something eleo against him before dusk.

Three hours after Lappine's arrest another man was picked up in the vicinity who was not able to a very claar account of himself. He was found by Officer Lavender at Tenth and Bay Ridge avenues. He told the officer that he had been sleeping outdoors for the past eleven days an that for the last three days he had eaten nothing but green apples. He had no money. He gave his name as Otto Larsen, 42 years old, no home, and said he was a carriage maker by trade.

He was arraigned in the Fifth avenue court this morning on a charge of vagrancy and was held for examination o-n Friday morning. VETERAN SECRETARY RETIRES.
