rr -7 THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW YORK. TUESDAY. AUGUST 27. 1907.

MISCELLANEOUS. MISCELLANEOUS. DROWNED IN L. I. SOUND.

nr Germany. Professor ffoot was born In Syracuse, N. May 18. 1838. He entered Hamilton with the class of 1856.

He studied law for a year under the late JUDGE PUD GIVES OPINION Oil RATE CASE ur ii CALLS TO SEE IMcGAHN Rumors That Murphy Wants to Know Whether War Is Worth While. IF NOT, PEACE MAY COME. McManus Says He Left the Tiger at the Other Side of the Bridge. Rumors were rife to-day in political circles that Charles F. Murphy, not satisfied with previous attempts to lead the Tammany Tiger across the Bridge to Brooklyn, had begun a new campaign against McCarren's leadership and was determined to follow up the campaign to a finish and to Tammanylze Brooklyn.

If Murphy find It impossible to dislodge McCarren it was said that he had made up his mind to make friends with the Brooklyn leader and form an alliance with him. So far as could be learned, the only step taken by Murphy was the sending of Thomas J. McManus, leader of the Eleventh Assembly District of New York to Brooklyn to-day to confer with various McCarren leaders, for the purpose of sizing up the situation and finding out the weak spots In the present Democratic organization. McManus is one of Murphy's strongest leaders and Is the greatest power In politics in the central West side section of Manhattan, which stretches from West Thirtieth street north to the neighborhood of West Seventy-second street. He is a strong, aggressive fighter, who Is credited with a thorough knowledge of politics.

As a delegate to look over the Brooklyn situation, McManus was particularly desirable because of his intimate acquaintance with many of the Brooklyn leaders, as well as the more prominent of the antl-McCarren men outside the organization. It was believed that he could visit Brooklyn without attracting attention and would be able to obtain more information regarding the real state of affairs here than any ether man who could be selected. It was said that during McManus' vis-It to-day It was not intended In any way that he should attempt to alienate any of the leaders, nor take any active steps toward undermining McCarren. His visit, It was said, was merely for the purpose of looking over the situation and reporting back to Murphy an estimate of McCarren's stength. The story In circulation to-day had it that Murphy's future action regarding McCarren would be determined largely by the nature of McManus' report.

If McManus thinks that a successful war can be waged against McCarren and that Brooklyn can be brought under the Tammany control, it Is said that Murphy Is prepared to spend any amount of money in the effort. If he decides that McCarren Is too firmly Intrenched to bo displaced, he is ready, on the other hand, to extend the olive branch and to admit McCarren Into partnership In a combination to control the affairs of the Democratic party of New York City. During his visit "to Brooklyn to-day McManus visited Senator McCarren at Democratic headquarters and was closeted with him for about half an hour. After the conference neither man would admit that they had talked politics or that an alllanoe between McCarren and Murphy was In contemplation. When asked about the conference Senator McCarren said: "Senator McManus happened to be in Brooklyn and, as he is an old friend of mine, ho came In to see me.

Thore was no particular political significance to the visit." "Is it likely that Murphy will try to bring the Tiger to Brooklyn again?" he was asked. "That is a question which, of course, Mr. Murphy can answer better than I can," replied Senator McCarren. "All I can say regarding McManus' visit is that we are old friends and he came in to see me. I was very glad to see him." "Does It mean an alliance between you and Murphy?" "Nothing to say." Senator McManus was no more communicative than Senator McCarren.

"What are you doing In Brooklyn?" he was asked. "Oh, I had a little business over here and, while I was over, dropped in to see some of my friends." was the non-committal reply. "Did you bring the Tiger?" "No," replied McManus. "I left him at the other end of the Bridge. You know the Tiger always bucks at crossing the East River to the City of Churches." Brooklyn Democratic politicians considered It more likely that McManus was an emissary from Murphy, with the tokens of peace, than that Murphy was planning to fight McCarren.

WHAT REVENGE MEANS. To the Convict It Is a Desire Seldom Executed. Revenge is a desire that occupies a place in the hearts of a great many convicts, revenge upon Individuals that were Instrumental In bringing about present predicament, revenge against society in general, says Father Aloys M. Fish In Charities and The CommonB. In but few cases, however, have I known revenge against individuals to have been executed In deed; in most cases it is but a sullen rumbling of their feelings that dies away and becomes extinct aftet time and reflection have weakened their memory-pictures of wrongs, real or imaginary, perpetrated in connection with their conviction for crime.

There are not many so determined as one that I have in mind. While serving a sentence of seven years he frequently ruminated over the so thought injustice of his conviction and gradually worked himself Into a determination to take revenge upon him who he maintained had accused him wrongly. His time expired, he left prison, sought his victim an 1 wreaked his revenge. For this he was returned to prison under sentence of tea years. "I'll tske the ten spot." he told me, "I'm not kicking, I've had my revenge and am satisfied." Luckily men of such ferocious determination are not In great numbers; the most of them forget their revenge In time.

FADEREWSKI AS A FARMER. His passion for country life has led Mr. Paderewskl, the famous pianist, to establish a farm on his estate in Poland, where, between his tours, he occupies his time In rearing live stock and growing agricultural produce During a previous visit to this country Paderewskl, through an agent, bought some prize pigs from a farmer in Essex, who was quite unaware of the real pro'ession of the purchaser. A day or two later Paderewskl vlsltod the farm, without disclosing his identity. During an inspection the farmer led the pianist to a sty and showed him a fine lot of pigs, remarking confidentially: "Do you see those? I have sold them to Mr.

Paderewskl, the great pig dealer from abroad." Tit-Bits. VARIETY. "Gracious!" exclaimed the sweltering tourist. "Is this the kind of weather you have all summer?" "Certainly not," replied the native, "Why, we have half a dozen different kinds every day." Philadelphia Press. PTNANCIAIXY FIXED.

"I can't expect," said Scribbles, "to be as successful a poet as De Rltter. He has wealth on his side." "NonscnBe! He Isn't very well- off." "He Isn't? Why, he has money enough to buy all the postage stamps he needs." Philadelphia Press, Man Swept From Top of Yacht's Cabin as Sail Jibed. Charles Peterson, a Swede, of 223 West One Hundred and Twenty-first street, Manhattan, while sailing in the Sound on Sunday, off King Point, near Great Neck, was swept from the top of the cabin of the yacht Rose, by the sudden jibing of the boat. Peterson sank Immediately. Paul Stein-born, sailing master of the yacht, dived after him, but could not find him.

The yacht was sailed back and forth in the vicinity for an hour, but no trace of the body was found. SEQUEL OF RAID IN COURT. Defendant Creates Laughter by Declaring He Has No Knowledge of the Game of Poker. Eight of the eleven prisoners taken by Captain Steinbruck in the rear room of Michael Nathan's cigar store, 1675 Broadway, at 4 o'clock Sunday morning during a card game, were discharged in the Gates avenue court to-day. Three of the prisoners failed to appear and will likely be rearrested.

The case against Nathan, who. like the othors, was charged with being a disorderly person, was adjourned for decision. Captain Steinbruck and Patrolman OI-vany, who accompanied him, told how they had entered the store where gambling was suspected. Men were leated at a table on which were cards and money. Olvany said he bad taken the money from one John Smith, who is no other than Clarence Bosse.

Nathan, in his own behalf, declared that a game of pinochle was In progress when the captain entered. Captain 8teinbruck remarked that pinochle was not usually played with a deck containing deuces. "Were there no deuces in the deck in use In you- place?" asked Magistrate Furlong, addressing Nathan. "No." Captain Steinbruck sorted the deck and produced deuces and cards of other small denominations. Magistrate Furlong asked the witness If the deck was not a good poker deck.

Nathan caused even his own friends In court to laugh loudly when he declared he did not know what poker was. He was also the cause of some broad smiles when he declared there had never been any gambling of any sort In bis place. INGENUITY OF POOR L0. The Remarkable Use He Made of Fryingpans at Rosebud Agency. Born upon the lonely plains, with only Indians for companions, it was not itrange that I grew up among them, not only with a knowledge of their language, but with a thorough comprehension of their habits, likes and.

antipathies, says a special contributor In the Los Angeles Times In later years this enabled me to secure a position as a teacher among the Indians, and during one of my vacations I thought nothing would be nicer than visit to tbe old Rosebud Reservation. i sooner did this thought come than uy resolution was made, and dawn found me by the roadside, my little luggage in hand, anxiously awaiting the lumbering old stage coach. When I saw it, after waiting what seemed to me an interminable time, I Jumped up on the seat, beside the driver, old Ashley Messenger, and away we went, my thought all ahead with the Sioux friends I soon should meet, to exchange with them a hearty "Kla-how-yah, nilta tillicum?" (How do you do, my friend?) I little thought, as I gazed upou the reservation lying before me, that I should have the pleasure of witnessing one of the amusing incidents that revealed so clearly the untutored mlud of the savage despite his years of training. It was an incident that never been published or up" as yet, though In all probability It went on file as "official news" in the department at Washington. I had a friend there, another girl teacher, and 1 knew the agent of tha reservation slightly, he who was unwittingly tbe actor who put the ball in motion.

One day we were engaged In making a list of needed articles provisions, utensils, and the agent remarked thoughtfully: "I wonder why we never asked for frylngpans? Now that the Sioux are supposed to be learning all the white man's modes, It Is high time that this cooking of meat over a crane on the fire ceased." So several dozen frying-pans of generous size were requested, and in due time they came, packed in at the bottom. The braves gathered around early for their share of rations, but when the frylngpans were handed them the agent met with a flat refusal to take them. Viewed by each brave, turned over and over, touched here and there carefully, even after the object of their use was explained, none seemed to view them favorably. The braves walked away, and the agent and I gazed despairingly at the piles of glittering pans iylng upon the "If tbe authorities at Washington ever hear of this useless expense. It will mean my finish," groaned the agent.

One old squaw carried away a pan, as we supposed to decorate her tepee, but we were too much discouraged to look after her. About an hour later there was a series jf Indian whoops and a rush of mocca-sined feet that brought us to the door of the "store" In a hurry. There was a swoop upon the pans, an exultant cry, and they hurried away as noiselessly as only an Indian can, leaving not a pan In sight. The agent gazed at me In bewilderment. "Now what do you suppose that means?" "There is only one way to find out.

Come on!" I cried. We hurried to where the groups of Indians, bucks, squaws and papooses were gesticulating, evidently excited over some unusual occurrence. hen we reached the top of the long snow-covered hill that overlooked the village, we could only gasp as we viewed the scene. Each Indian was sitting in a pan, his feet turned around the long handle, hands clasping the rounding sides, and each and all were coasting down the long snowy hill! We had to make a full report to Washington, but never since then have I 'aughed so much. WIRELESS TELEPHONY.

Some Uses to Which Naval Men Can Now Put It. Wireless telephony will do away with the trained operators on vessels, so that a larger number as well as smaller steamships can be in communication with the shore or with each other during a voyage, says Htrbert T. Wade in American Monthly Review of Reviews. Not only can reports be made by coafctwise vessels and eteamers on the Gitat Lakes, but tho exact position or the dangerous proximy of other vessels or lighthouses can determined. This Immediately sugfe.ns the use of wireless telephony in naval operations, especially with a fleet, or where a tornedo boat or other vessel Is employed on a detached service.

Virelc3s telephony between sea and land does not stop at th receiving station on the shore, since It is possible to connect the Instruments so that conversations can be immediately and directly transmitted to the wire circuit of tho land system. Furthermore, experiments have already been undertaken wnich have demonstrated the feasibility c. communicating between moving trains and central offices or signal stations, and even establishing direct connection with public Hne3. In fact, the readiness with which farmers' telephone lines often using fence wires have been constructed In the West leads to the belief that a suitablo wireless telephone system would find widespread 1 appreciation in rural communities and A Sound Conservative Accommodating HOME TRUST CO. 184 Montague Street SEW YORK OFFICEl 20 Veity Street.

Capital and Surplus, $1,150,000.00. MCCOOEY WILL HOT TELL IFiUIS TO 1 Official Confirmation Lacking of Rumor About Big Bond Sale. CITY SECURITIES ARE GOOD. When the Present Stringency Passes Away There Will Be a Premium- on the 4 l-2s. It was Impossible to-day to obtain any official confirmation of the report that J.

Pierpont Morgan and Company will take the entire $40,000,000 issue ol bonds which are, to be sold on September 10. Derty Controller John H. McCooey at the offices of the Finance Department refuse? to dis cuss the report, and it Is believed that he has received no official assurances from the well-known Wall Street firm that It Intends to take up the whole Issue of bonds. No denial is made of the statement that this latest issue of bonds will later on prove a most lucrative investment for the people who arc likely to bid at the public sale and receive an allotment. As soon as the present stringency In the money market is relieved the prediction os made that these bonds, bearing interest at the rate of 44 per will be selling at a premium of ten points at least.

It is pointed out that no one appreciates this fact better than J. Pierpont Morgan whose success in taking over bond Issues and selling them at a substantial profit, is a matter of public record. Despite the reticence of Mr. McCooey it was learned to-day that the Finance Department has received assurances from financial institutions from all parts of the country that they will bid at the com ing sale. Some criticism has been indulged In because Mr.

McCooey has offered such a large amount for sale at one time. But the prediction Is made from tfrose who have Btudied the money market for the last few days that Mr. McCooey's Judgment In this respect will be amply vindicated. The feeling prevails at the Finance Department that not only will be the entire Issue of $40,000,000 sold, 'but that the city will receive a substantial premium. The money thus realized from the prem- turns can be used for other purposes.

It Is declared that the action of the Treasury Department in releasing the money which has been held by national banks in reserve augurs well for the sale and that the people who have been indulging in the pessimistic strain of talk that the Flnanoe Department has made huge mistake will be running to cover. Borne of Mr. McCooey's critics have declared that be should have offered the bonds for sale in Installments of at a time. Men who are well acquainted with the bond market have assured Mr. McCooey that this would prove a most costly mistake.

The first two installments might have been sold, but in order to sell the third, they declare, the city would have been probably called upon to still further increase the ratei of Interest. With the disposal of the issue which Is offered for sale next month, the city will be in excellent shape, financially. It will be possible to discharge every financial obligation and enough money will be available to carry on the many Improvements to which the city Is committed in every borough. QUAKER TURNED PAINTER. Lad Who Has Become One of America's Greatest Artists.

The magnificent mural paintings of C. Y. Turner are among America's art treasures. How near this famous artist came to being forbidden an artistic career because his Quaker parents objected on religious grounds is told In the New Broadway Magazine. When it came time for the small son to take his place among the wage-earners of the family and that time came early he communicated to his father his intention of being an artist.

As has happened so often, the father objected. Not only did It seem to him most- unpractlcable from a monetary standpoint, but also contrary to the Quaker doctrines. In a family where brass handles on furniture were removed because they were considered frivolous, and were replaced by knobs of dark walnut, this was not a matter of small importance. Moreover the father had intended that the boy should be a pharmacist. A compromise was at last reached.

The painting of pictures was out of the question, but architecture recommended Itself to the Quaker mind as serving an utilitarian purpose. At the same time, with the possibility of making infinite charts and drawings, it approached closely enough to the pictorial to satisfy the young Charles. Three years of apprenticeship to an architect followed. Then, having come to the realization that the construction of buildings and the painting of pictures are decidedly different phases of art, the boy took a position with a photographer, and eventually accompanied him to New York. From the tinting of photographs a phase of work at that time immensely popular he drifted into pastel work and water-colors, finally taking up oil portraiture.

His success overcame even the Quaker principles, and dignified the work as a profession in the eyes of his father. THE UNEXPECTED HAPPENED. The stout man on tho back platform declined to agree with the conductor. The conductor thought he hadn't paid his fare. The stout man was of the contrary opinion.

They exchanged harsh words over the matter. "I gave you a nicknt when I got aboard," said the stout man. "I haven't taken in a nickel on this trip," said the conductor. The stout man grew very red. Ills hair seemed to bristle.

"That's just enough of this," he growled. "I don't want to have any trouble with you. I had trouble with a conductor once. I'd hate to tell you what happened. The conductor drew back a little and made no further attempt lo collect the stout man's fare.

But when the stout man was about to alight from the car at the Pennsylvania crossing tho conductor's curiosity was too much for him. "Say," he asked, "what happened when you had that trouble with the other conductor?" The stout man looked back. "I was in the hospital six weeks," he Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Bassett Says He Is Busy With the Matter, but Won't Discuss It. Very little enllghenment can be obtained at the offices of the Utilities Commission in reference to the Fourth Avenue subway, which has remained unacted upo never since the public hearing was held on the form of the contract. The commissioners maintain a mysterious silence when questioned from prosent Indications, there seems to be some Justification for the fear which is In the minds of many people of Brooklyn who advocated the construction oi this subway, that it will be permanently shelved. Commissioner Edward M. Bassett.

one of the Brooklyn members of the commis sion, made a very significant remark this morning. lie was asked if this latest extension to the subway system of Brooklyn was in danger. "I don't care to discuss it," he replied. "That Is a matter for the commission to decide." Mr. Bassett added that he has been spending the major part of bis time In considering the matter, but he declined to glvo the slightest Inkling of what has caused the delay up to the present time.

Neither would he say what question or questions have arisen which have made it necessary for him to give so much consideration to the subject. It was given out in an unofficial way that something may be made public in the course of a few days, but a great air of secrecy was maintained as to what the exact nature of thig action will be. All sorts of rumors have been afloat since tbe public hearing that the Fourth avenue subway would not be built, notwithstanding the action of the old Bapld Transit CommisSBlon committing the city to the project and the public announcement of Mayor McClellan that he was in favor of it. It is understood that some of the members of tbe commission are opposed to the route as laid out at present and that it Is not unlikely that a change will be recommended below Fortieth street. Sill other reports were to the effect that the present commission was devoting considerable time in trying to find flaws In the proceedings of the old commission, by which the route was laid out, and the form of contract authorized.

No explanation was forthcoming as to why the commission should adopt such a strange antagonistic attitude to this new subway extension, if there was any foundation for tbe report. One of the principal officials of the old commission, when these reports were mentioned to him, declared that the proceedings which were taken In connection with the Fourth avenue subway, previous to tho establishment of the present commission, were all in regular form. This man stated that It the commission was trying to find objections to the proceedings, it was going out of its way to delay the work. At the present time, every form of the rapid transit law has been complied with. The route of the subway has been laid out, the public hearing on the form of the contract has been held, and all that remains to be done Is to advertise for bidders and award the contracts for the different sections.

Commissioner Bassett' attention was called to a complaint made by William Wise and(oSn, that notwithstanding the Instructions of the commission, the contractors, who are building the Fulton street subway, still continue to dump sand and motor on Nevlns street. The commission last week adopted a resolution, Instructing the contractors to keep Nevlns street free from obstacles and open for traffic. "I have received similar complaint from the firm," Bald Mr. Bassett. "At that particular point the subway construction Is a most difficult problem, because of the turn from Fulton street in Flatbush avenue.

It Is impossible for the contractors to do other wise at the present time and the source of the complaint will be removed at the earliest possible moment." PUSHCART VS. TROLLEY. Motormen of Rival Vehicles Involved in Case in the Marcy Avenue Court; Charles Otha West, a strapping, broad- shouldered chap, employed by the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company on the Marcy avenue trolley line, was held for the Court of Special Sessions in the Gates Avenue Court to-day, on a charge of assault made by Edward Butler, 30 years old, of 165 Ryerson street. Butler claimed that West had struck him with a con troller handle. West denied this, but admitted striking him with his fist.

On Friday last Butler was trundling a pushcart across Marcy avenue, at Gates, when a car, which West was running, came along. Butler says West nearly ran over him. Each says the other called the other a bad name first. West jumped off the car add struck Butler in the face. Butler got a warrant for John Doe yes terday and Court officers Samuel Muldoon and John Hauertt set out to hunt up the motorman.

The officers were accompan ied by Butler, who was to watch pass ing cars and point out his man. At Myrtle avenue, Butler saw West riding as a pas senger on a passing car, and beckoned for him to get off. eWst hesitated for a moment or two and then leaped off with the intention, he afterward admitted, of "trimming" Butler. Before any blow could be struck. Officers Muldoon and Hauertt nabbed West.

Upholds Jurisdiction of His Court In Southern Railway Controversy. SUIT NOT AGAINST STATE. Declares State Legislature Cannot Frame an Act to Deprive Citizen of Constitutional Right.

Asheville, N. C. August 27 Judge Pritchard. In the United States Circuit Court, In a long-expected opinion, announced to-day In the rate case of the Southern Railway against the corporation commission and the Attorney General of North Carolina, upholds the Jurisdiction of his court In the issuance of the recent injunctions against officials during the railroad rate controversy, and declares that the tiuit is not one against the stale within the meaning of the eleventh amendment to the Federal Constitution. That amendment holds that the Judicial power of the V.

S. shall not extend to any suit against a state by citizens of another state. Tbe decision says that a state legislature cannot so frame an act as to deprive a citizen of a right-vouchsafed him by the Federal Constitution, and it does not possess the power "to deprive this court of Its Jurisdiction, and the sooner those questions are definitely determined the better It will be for all parties concerned." The decision holds that tbe corporation commission are still charged with making rates, the only limitation upon their power being "that they shall not make a maximum rate In North Carolina In excess of 2Vt cents per mile. The corporation commission and the Attorney-General are 'specially charged' with the duty of securing the enforcement of Section 4 of the passenger rate act, which provides heavy penalties and fines for a failure of railroads and their officials to comply with that act." All laws in existence on the passage of that act bearing on supervision and control of railroads, are to be construed In connection with the rate act. "It Is Inconceivable," the decision says, "that a circuit court of the United States In the exercise of Its Jurisdiction should be powerless to afford a remedy to one who seeks to assert a right which Is guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States, This is in no sense a suit against the state, nor can It be buccbs-fuliy contended that the state Is In any wise a party in Interest, lu so far as the merits of the controversy are concerned.

It cannot be reasonably Insisted that this Is a suit to prevent tho state from enforcing any right whloh it possesses, nor can it be said to be a suit to compel the performance of an obligation of the state, nor does it in any wise involve a matter in which the state has a pecuniary Interest; the parties in Interest being complainant on the one side and the traveling public on the other. "Therefore, the questions presented are not such as to warrant the assumption that this court is without Jurisdiction, and a careful Btudy of the circumstances attending the adoption of the eleventh amendment, as well as the end to be obtained by the adoption of the same, show conclusively that those who were responsible for its adoption never dreamed that It could be used as a means of depriving an American citizen of a substantial right conforred upon him by the Constitution of tho United States. "Tho Eleventh Amendment, being a part of the Constitution, must be construed bo as to give full force and effect to every provision of the Instrument of which it forms a part. Any other construction of this amendment would practically nullify that clause of the Constitution which provides that no state shall pass any laws Impairing the obligations of contracts as well as the Fourteenth Amendment." The opinion shows that tho laws of North Carolina especially provide upon what terms an Injunction shall be granted to suspend rates, pending litigation or Involving the confiscatory nature of such rates; that the statutes of North Carolina expressly authorize the course pursued by the courts when freight rates are Involved, but does not even require a bond for such Injunction when passenger fares are in litigation.
