WILL CLEAN OUT BUREAU. Bingham Wants New Set of Operators Everywhere. In the course of interview this morning Commissioner Bingham definitely announced his intention to clean up the electrical department under his jurisdiction in a short tima, this to inthe Manhattan bureau. Recently there clude the thirty or more operators of was a complete change of men in the Brooklyn Bureau, all new men being put in. A morning paper referring to delay in sending out an alarm in Fort Hamilton last night in a case where a child was assaulted, charged the delay to the new operators.

When the commissioner was asked about this he replied that the new men were not at fault and delcared that if teh old men had been there the delay would probably have been an hour instead of a half hour. However, he would instruct Deputy 0'Keeffe of Brooklyn and Superintendent Brennan of the electrical department to make a thorough investigation. CAUGHT THIS BURGLAR WITH PACK READY TO MOVE DIED. Bluecoats Surrounded David Porter's Home, Then Nailed Their Prey. FAMILY IN THE MOUNTAINS.

Fort Hamilton Police Elated Over Their Capture and Hope to Clear Up Other Robberies. A burglar was caught last night in the home of David Porter, one of the leading and most influential citizens 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 060 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 mountains, but Mr.

Porter's business interests keep him in the city, although he has closed up his Bay Ridge home. Last night, at few minutes before 9 a neighbor saw a candle flicker in Porter residence. Knowing 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 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 came in to find a place to lie down," answered the man. He was taken to the station house, where he said he was Daniel Lappine, 46 years old, French Canadian, living at 70 Underhill avenue. A two inch in 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 proceeded to the kitchen, but found the door locked.

Then he 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 of the various burglaries which have aroused that section of late and brought so much criticism upon the police. With such long posts 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 else 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 clear 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 3 carriage maker by trade. He was arraigned in the Fifth avenue court this morning on a charge of vagrancy and was held for examination on Friday morning. VETERAN SECRETARY RETIRES.

Advancing Years Force Him to Quit Service of Hempstead Mutual Benefit Association. (Special to the Eagle.) Hempstead, L. July 17-The Hempstead Mutual Benefit Association, at its thirty-seventh annual meeting, held last night, decided to give the roganization more publicity by issuing a circular letter to its members and others, calling attention to the advantages of the organization, furnishing a historical resume, etc. It was decided, in order to stimulate interest in enlarging the membership list, to offer $1 to members for each acceptable applicant. The death benefit for the current year was fixed at $250.

During the past fiscal year the association met all death claims promptly, the sum of $2,290 being paid out for this purpose. The association has no outstanding indebtedness and pearly $500 In the bank, with $25.85 in the treasurer's hands. Nine death assessments have been levied during the past year. The election of resulted in the -election of the following: President, George W. Terry; vice president, William Stoffel; treasurer, Townsend Baldwin; directors for three years, Henry Agnew and Clarence Clark.

John W. Mersereau, secretary for the past twenty-five years, was renominated, but declined, owing to advanced years and failing sight. He agreed to act until a successor can be selected. He was tendered a unanimous vote of thanks for his efficient and painstaking services. BOY RUN DOWN BY AUTO.

Jacob Greenberg, aged 3 years, of 362 Gold street, was playing late yesterday afternoon in front of his home when he was run down by an automobile owned by Thomas McGuire of 415 Hancock street, and in charge of Robert H. Burke, chauffeur. The child was badly bruised. He was attended by Surgeon Meeks, of the Cumberland Street Hospital. No arrests were made.

R. R. CLERKS NOT SATISFIED. Employes of N. N.

H. and H. Declare Company Must Give Larger Increase of Wages. Boston, July 17-Representatives of various lodges of the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks employed on the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad system, voted at a meeting held here last night that the increase of 5 and 10 cents a day which the company has offered its clerks is not a satisfactory reply to the recent complaint of the clerks that the pay had not been advanced proportionately with that of other departments. Some time ago a request for an increase of 15 per cent.

in wages was made by the clerks. At last night's meeting a committee was elected to wait upon the railroad management and ask that the request be further considered. Lodges of railway clerks in Boston, Brockton, Fall River, New Bedford, Providence, Danbury, New London, Bridgeport and Harlem attended the meeting. MUST WRITE CONSENTS TO DAUGHTERS' WEDDINGS Widow of Cornelius Zabriskle 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 Orlenia and Miss Elvia Zabriskie 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 for probate, provides especially that his children shall get their mother's written consent to their marriage. The two daughters of Mr. Zabriskie, living at 846 Carroll street, are popular in Brooklyn society. They will be handicapped 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. Zabriskle: "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 $2,500 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. Zabriskie lived at that time in his old home at 15 Second place. The will was drawn with great care. Mr. Zabriskie had it engrossed in the most approved style, with illuminated emphasis lines and with all the important words and 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 will to his "beloved wife, Orlenia Addie Zabriskie." Mrs. Zabriskie was Orlenia Addie Emerson, of Boston. She was a near relative of Ralph Waldo Emerson. All the household furniture, books, works of art, silverware, clothing, elry, 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. Zabriskie 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.

Zabriskie 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 him or her at stated periods until or she reaches the age of 30 years, when one of the principal is to be set aside and the income paid to Mrs. Zabriskie, while the other half shall be apportioned among the children and each child that is 30 years of age shall receive his 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 morning, 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 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 1s consistent with good work, so as to have the school ready in 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 is proposed to rent a small building for school purposes. TWO CHAUFFEURS FINED. One Paid $30 and the Other $25 in Jamaica Court of Sessions.

In the Court of Special Sessions at Jamaica, yesterday, before Judges Wilkin, Fleming and Forker, the cases of two automobile speed violators were disposed of. Nelson Flanigan, a chauffeur of 3133 Bedford avenue, Brooklyn, who was arrested by Officer Alexander Ewers of the Seventy-fifth Precinct, for operating an automobile on Thompson avenue, between Bradgraw and Hulse streets, Long Island City, at the rate of thirty an hour, was fined $30, with the alternative of spending fifteen days in jail. Henri Delpierri, a chauffeur of 243 East Seventy -eighth street, Manhattan, who was arrested on May 12, on Hoffman boulevard, charged with operating an automobile at the rate of thirty-five miles per hour, and also for failing to have his license number on the machine, was fined $25 or ten days on the speed charge, and sentence was suspended on the other. Herman Woodrich, 35 years old, of College Point, who was arrested at College Point on the complaint of John Bredell of 100 William street, Manhattan, who alleged that he was driving a horse that was unfit for work in that it was suffering physical pain, had sentence suspended. The judges declared that the owner of the horse should be held responsible for permitting the animal to go out of his stable.

PERSECUTION STORY OF RUSSIAN GIRL OF 18. Family Victims of Revolution, She FAd In Men's Clothes on the Saratov. BEGS NOT TO B5 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 Ellis Island yesterday, Paulina Flaks, a 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 hardship and adventures. She said that she had attempted to steal into America as a last refuge from persecution, which within 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 completely 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 Libau, 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 $72.50. 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. day morning is to Commissioner The credit for arrests made on SunWatchorn, who for some time past has been confident of 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 Schichmareff.

He was asked if he had any stowaways on board and he replied in the negative. Commissioner Watchorn's men, however, concluded that it 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 escape in disguise. Both were taken to Ellis Island and will be returned Libau. JANITOR SMITH ARRESTED. Held on a Charge of Vagrancy-Janitor Next Door Complained.

Thomas Smith, 32 years old, janitor for the apartment house at 532 Sixth avenue, was arraigned before Magistrate Tighe this morning in the Butler street police court. Mrs. Tyler Dupont and her family live at 530 Sixth avenue. They have gone to the country for summer. Some person entered their rooms the, and stole sixty yards of carpet, and bed linen valued at $50, and two large brass lamps.

The janitor in charge of No. 530 had fallen out with Smith, so he informed the police that it was his belief that Smith had committed the robbery. When Detectives Malcolm and Duffy of the Brooklyn Police Headquarters visited the home of Smith yesterday afternoon he was not there. They found him later at Park Circle, basking in the sun. When the detectives attempted to arrest him he put up a fight, but was 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.) Riverhead, L. July 17-Papers have been filed here in a suit brought by Cecella Brown, of Huntington, against William W.

Dickerson and Frank H. Dickerson. The plaintiff is the aunt of defendants. Among other things the complaint avers that Mrs. Anna Hart, a sister, died on December 14, 1906, and Susan Dickerson, another sister, mother of the defendants, died on December 18, 1906; that plaintiff was an heir at law of Mrs.

Hart and as such became the owner of a onethird interest in a piece of Huntington property, the two defendants being cotenants with the, plaintiff. The complaint sets up that on December 20, 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 out, in the absence of her son-in-law, one Charles Duplay, and induced her to sign a certain paper, which she did not read, and which they said wes an agreement to sell to them, the defendants, certain 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 detendants her interest in the property, and she learned, too, that it was recorded in Riverhead in February, 1907, with County Clerk Flanagan. Because they made false statements to her, because they paid her absolutely nothing for the property, and because she is destitute, having no means or property aside from that in controversy, and no way of earning anything because of age and feebleness, she asks that 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 the east side of Spring street, Huntington, adjoining the property of John Alsop. RUSSIAN SUSPECTS HELD. In the magistrates court at Far Rockaway, yesterday, Joseph Diehl and Adam Dambroski, Russian residents of Manhattan, were held for examination on Tuesday next. They are suspected of being in possession of information which may aid the police in running down the men who murdered Christopher Bears of Jamaica. BINGHAM AT IT AGAIN; KEEPS FORCE MOVING Headquarters and Hamilton Ave the Storm Centers.

HUGHES GOES TO THE BRONX, And Busby Accompanies Him--They Did Up Baldwin--South Brooklyn Shift. The officials at local police headquarters were just about recovering from the excitement attendant on cleaning out the telephone bureau when, yesterday afternoon, 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 of Goatville. Lieutenant Edwards Hughes, who su supposed to be "next" to Acting Captain McCauley, had been ruthlessly torn away from his job here, and had been sent with side partner, George Fusby, to the Bronx, where they will still conco tinue 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 Busby's pull, it was belleved, than fifty elevatedon bands of cowhide. And to think that had been sent to the Bronx, Hughes, George, 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. Hughes took pains to' assure some of his that It was "all a and would frienden prove it, but he swore by Bingham and Macaulay's own "nine gods" that he did cot know blessed reason why he should be sent so far away. There were other doings which the sewing circle at headquarters could not understand. There was the case of Cliff and Powers, for example. Cliff and Powers were just at the zenith of their police careers, it seemed, when they were snatched away and were sent to do uniformed men's duty in the Fifth street and the Mercer street stations in Manhattan.

The two young men had been detached from the staff of Inspector Hussey and had been placed in the borough headquarters squad as special investigators for Deputy Commissioner 0'Keeffe and Borough Inspector Flood. And they had been basking in the sunshine of official favor for days and days, sitting with the elect, Macdonald, McQuade and Eberth, in the daytime and enjoying the quips and jibes of the merry three. Cliff and Powers were the detectives who had gathered the evidence against Inspector Baldwin and Captain Creamer 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 encompassed the destruction of the two high officers, who were each fined thirty days pay; and Baldwin was reduced for the thing. 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 Cliff and Powers from Commissioner Bingham's office, a double check on their activities, as it were. It is known that Deputy Commissioner O'Keeffe was hastily called over to Mulberry street yesterday to see General Bingham, after Mr.

O'Keeffe had spent, a dreadfully harassing day at the police trials. He hastened 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. The 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 Driscoll, who is at present on his vacation and who will not return until the 26th inst.

Just what happened in the Hamilton avenue 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, and Inspector Hussey said, too, that it was for the good of the service, and further than that they would not go. The Hamliton avenue precinct has always been a thorn in the flesh of the police authoritles. 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 resort of sailors from all ends of the earth, who land in the Hamilton seek the company of dissolute persons. avenue territory a and who immediately The plain clothes men changed were: John H. Dwan, sent to uniformed duty in the 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 McDonough were lifted out of the precinct and were scattered. Patterson goes to the Glendale precinct. Regan to the Long Island City precinct and McDonough to the Astoria precinct.

Their places are filled by Lieutenants George E. Schlepp, from Glendale; George Fitzgerald, from Astoria, and Jeremiah J. Maglin, from Long Island City. George H. Kirchmar, the secretary to Deputy Commissioner O'Keeffe, went away.

NEARLY LYNCHED THE DRIVER Brownsville Mob Had Rope's End Over Lamppost--Police Arrived in Time to Save Sherman. An excited Brownsville crowd yesterday afternoon tried to lynch Jacob Sherman of avenue, the driver of a butcher's wagon, which had run over a 2-year-old child, Rosie Goldman of 1404 St. Mark's avenue. Only the intervention of Patrolman George M. Eckert and the timely arrival of the reserves from the Brownsville station prevented the angry mob from carrying out its threats.

The police rushed Sherman to the station house, where he was charged with reckless driving. This morning, in the New Jersey avenue court, Magistrate Furlong held the prisoner in $300 for examination. At Ralph avenue, little Rosie was playing in the street, while her two brothers, Samuel, 18 years old, and Isaac, 14 years old, watched from the stoop. They saw their little sister knocked down and ran to grab the driver. Sherman was dragged from his seat and the excited crowd which gathered struck and beat him.

"Get a some one shouted, "and we will lynch the child killer." In an incredibly short time a rope was produced and a noosed end thrown over the projecting arm of a lamp post. Shrieking in terror, the hapless driver was dragged to the post. At this moment Eckert appeared on the scene. He saw the situation at a glance. Laying about him with his nightstick, he soon reached the side of Sherman.

The reserves came on the run, and with their advent the crowd disappeared. An ambulance had arrived in the meantime. Dr. Murphy of St. Mary's Hospital attended to the little girl's injuries.

He found her suffering from lacerated scalp wound. It was also necessary for the surgeon to patch up the cuts and scratches that Sherman had received from the mob. TROLLEY CAR STRUCK MAN.
