BOY'S BODY UNDER CAR: MOTORMAN RUNS AWAY Threatening Crowd Watches Mangled Remains; Not Sure Lad Is Dead. POLICE QUIET INDIGNATION. It Appears That Motorman Sweeney Tried to Save Youngster-Held in $2,000 Bail. Isidor Hoffman, 10 years old, was playing ball with a number of companions in front of his home at 1010 Fulton street yesterday afternoon.

One of the lads threw a high ball to Isidor, who, determined to catch it, out onto the car tracks. Meanwhile No. 207 of the ran, Fulton street line was speeding eastward, with James Sweeney, 23 years old, of 526 Morris avenue, as the motorman. Many yards away Sweeney saw the boys playing in the street, and was careful to keep his motor under control. As he approached the lads they all saw the car, it seemed to him, for the young players left the tracks to allow it to speed past.

Yet Sweeney held himself in readiness to put on the brakes at a moment's notice. It was just as the trolley, speeding swiftly, reached a point in front of young Hoffman's home, that Isidor darted out between the tracks after the ball. It seemed to spectators as though the boy must have fancied that he had time to get the sphere and return to safety before the car should reach him. But the lad miscalculated the speed of the trolley. Sweeney put.

the brakes, turned off the power and threw himself out over the dashboard of the car. Had his arm been six inches longer the fingers must have grasped the clothing of the little ball player and drawn him up to safety. Sweeney is a young giant in size. He hung over the dashboard by one arm. The boy was whirled in beneath the car.

The first pair of trucks did not touch him. But as the car continued it swept the body beneath the second pair. When the trolley had stopped the rear wheels were resting directly upon the abdomen of the lad, who was lying with agonized face upturned and life extinct. The boy must have been killed on the instant that the heavy wheels rolled grindingly upon him, mangling him frightfully, 80 declared Ambulance Surgeon Meeks of the Cumberland Street Hospital. While the tragedy was being enacted Isidor's father and mother and seven brothers and sisters were seated at a late afternoon dinner in their home, awaiting the arrival of their 10-year-old before they should begin to eat.

They heard the shouts and screams outside and all rushed down stairs and out to the scene of the accident. The father, Abraham, a harness maker, was the first to discover that it was his lad who was SO cruelly pinned beneath the trucks. He acted like a madman, and would have thrown himself beside the dead body had not men in the crowd used their combined strength to prevent it. Mrs. Hoff.

man screamed and tore her hair in her agony, and witnesses had to hold her, and each of the seven children as well, from trying to grasp the dead boy and drag him from beneath the car. When Surgeon Meeks arrived he saw immediately that the boy was dead, and turned his entire attention to the lad's parents and the other Hoffman children. mother proved his most troublesome patient, and it was fully an hour before he considered it safe to leave her. She fainted several times. Although the people who witnessed the accident must have realized that Sweeney had done everything in his power to save the boy's life, they were stirred up by the father's exhortations and began to close in around the front of the car, where the young motorman, weak and seemingly dazed, was still leaning limply over the dashboard.

He heard cries of anger from the throngs and saw stern and threatening faces, and his strength suddenly returned to him. He leaped from the platform and tore his way through the crowd, which gave way before his determined rush, With the angry pack of men in his wake, Sweeney ran toward Classon avenue. At Fulton and Classon he came upon Patrolman Carney, whom he implored to save him from the vengeance of the approaching men. He gave himself up as a prisoner to Carney, after briefly relating to the officer the story of the tragedy. Carney hid his prisoner in a nearby store turned him over to a fellowpatrolman, who took Sweeney to the avenue station.

Carney quieted the men and accompanied them back to where the car was standing, with the boy's body still beneath it and the struggling parents and children still surrounding It. Several men took the lead and wanted to overturn the trolley and bring forth the still body. Carney saw that there was no life in the mangled flesh beneath the trucks and prevailed against such an act, which would mean the unnecessary blocking of traffic for an afternoon. As it was, cars could not run along the east track for half an hour, at the end of which time a wrecker arrived and jacked up the car. Isidore's mangled body was removed to the Hoffman home across the street.

Carney brought Sweeney into the Flatbush court this morning. The motorman was arraigned before Magistrate Steers on a charge of homicide. He said not a word, as he stood there, well dressed, handsome in appearance, but with a face that was pathetically white and drawn. His counsel, Colonel Timothy HI. Roberts of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company, pleaded not guilty for his client, who was held in $2,000 bail for examination on August 21.

SAYS HE WAS RUN OVER. Man With Mrs. J. P. Morgan's Card Recovers Consciousness.

Versailles, July 27-The man thought to be either an American or a Canadian who was found yesterday unconscious in the churchyard of a nearby village recovered consciousness this morning and was questioned concerning his identity.

He declares he was run down by ant automobile and that $30 he had 1n his pocket. at the time of the accident is missing.

He declares the card found on him, signed "Mrs. J. P. IS simply a note of recommendation. GRAVE OFFENSE CHARGED.

Lewis, who has been receiving taxes for liquor licenses, as required by law, has collected $92,839.38 to date. The amount collected last year for the same period was $88,645. TAILOR STRUCK HIS WIFE. Policeman Was Present and It Was Bad for Husband. When Harry Matties, who conducts tailoring establishment at 128 Cook street, was served with a warrant secured by his wife, Bessie, who charged him with neglecting to provide for her and their three children, he became enraged and struck the woman a heavy blow in the face, in the presence of Policeman Toland of the Manhattan avenue court squad, Then something happened to him.

Magistrate O'Reilly, in the Manhattan avenue court, had the woman make an additional charge of assault. Matties was held on both charges. THIRTY FAMILIES SCARED. Gas Explodes in Six-Story Tenement When Janitor Lighted Cigar. Several Persons Hurt, Thirty-two families living in the sixstory apartment house at 25-27 East One Hundred and Fifth street, Manhattan, were stirred up by an explosion in the grocery store of Harry Zivckin, on the ground floor, shortly after 8 o'clock this morning.

Zivekin detected the odor of escaping gas soon as he opened the store at 7 o'clock, and sent a boy to the office of the Consolidated Gas Company, asking that a man be sent to fix the meter. No man came at the time Sale, the janitor, and his son, Samuel, went into the store from their rooms in the basement, a little after 8 o'clock, and while waiting to be served the elder man lighted a cigar. Immediately there was an explosion. whole store was set and the shock was felt all over the building. Sale, his son and the grocer were slightly hurt.

At once there was considerable excitement and several families left the building and ran into the street. The windows in the neighborhood were broken. The fire engines and police reserves were called out, but no one was severely hurt. The gas man came later. BALL PLAYERS LET GO.

Magistrate Healy, sitting in the Far Rockaway Court yesterday morning, discharged three young men who were arrested on Sunday, July 14, charged with playing baseball at which an admission fee was charged.

The men were Benedict John H. Kessler and Thomas J.

Higgins. OBITUARY. Thomas Nelson.

DETECTIVES ON TRAIL OF GIRL'S ASSAILANTS Queens District Attorney Acts Vigorously In North Beach Outrage. POLICE DISCREDIT STORY. No Arrests Have Been Made, as Miss Barish's Condition Does Not Improve-Can't Tell Story. No arrests have been made as yet as a result of the outrageous assault upon Virginia Ida Barish at North Beach on Wednesday.

So far the police have shown little interest in the case, and what work they have done has apparently been more in the direction of discrediting the girl's story of abuse rather than to sustain it. Reports from the King's County Hospital had been no noticeable improvement in this A morning were to the effect that there the girl's mental condition since her arrival there, and it might be days before she will be able to tell a connected and detailed story of her horrible treatment. Conflicting stories are told at North Beach as to what happened to Miss Barish. It develops that she left her home at 410 East Seventy-ninth street, Manhattan, last Saturday, with her sister Pauline, two years younger. They met three young men in Central Park and became engaged in conversation with them.

The men became very bold, and the younger sister fled. Virginia was not seen again by her parents until they found her in the Queens County jail at Long Island City. There is little doubt that the men the girl met in Central Park were instrumental in getting her to North Beach and it is believed that she was given knockout drops in Manhattan and did not know where she was being taken. At North Beach there is one story told to the effect that the girl spent Wednesday night in a hotel there, being given accommodations on account of her clothIng having been taken from her by the gang that assaulted her in the woods back of the beach. Again the story that she spent the night in any hotel 18 denied.

There appears to be a disposition on the part of certain persons connected with resorts of questionable character to cover up what they know of the girl's movements after she appeared on the beach in a nude state. Captain John Corrigan, who is a special officer employed by the North Beach Company, said last night that he got the girl out of the water and that he provided her with a blanket. From another source it was learned that some of the girl's clothing was found in the hotel where she is said to have spent the night. Inquiry along the beach failed to disclose anything that would lead to the identification of any of the nine men the girl said assaulted her in the woods. Captain Corrigan said that the statement made by Deputy Sheriff Talbot, to the effect that the police of the Astoria precinct had refused to take any interest in the case or send the patrol wagon to the beach for the girl, was absolutely true.

The captain stated that he had himself telephoned to the Astoria precinct, and they had refused to have anything to do with the case. District Attorney Ira G. Darrin of Queens County, realizing that immediate action was necessary, did not wait for the case to reach his office in an official way, but set his detectives at work just as soon as he heard of the assault. That action on the part of the district attorney may result in arrests being made, as his men were quickly on the scene, took up the girl's story and followed it in detail as far as they could without having first had a talk with her. Secretary Russell R.

Schaller of the North Beach Company wanted it stated that the girl was not maltreated on the property of that corporation, but among the resorts that have sprung up back of North Beach. There is little doubt but that the girl's mental condition is due to the drugs administered to her by those who held her a prisoner and it may be that after she was outraged in the woods she was taken to a well-known resort back of the beach and subjected to more harsh treatment than she received in the woods. MOTORMAN FAINTED. Car Ran Away and Eight Persons Were More or Less Injured. Eight persons were more or less.

injured late last night in a collision of two trolley cars of the Eighty-sixth street police station at Fifth avenue and Eighty-sixth street, Fort Hamilton. One of the cars got away from its motorman and crashed into the other car at a curve nearly a mile away. The motorman, Charles Kennewegg, had a fainting spell and fell off the trolley car at a point near Twelfth avenue. The runaway car was No. 3184 of the Manhattan Beach line and was on its way to the car barn at Fifty -eighth street and Third avenue.

The other car was one of the Coney Island-Thirty-ninth street ferry line and was fairly well filled with passengers. The runaway started off at Twelfth avenue and a policeman telephoned from a signal box to the Fort Hamilton station that a runaway was on its way up the Eighty-sixth street hill. The Coney Island car was just on the curve at the corner when the runaway reached the top of the hill at Fort Hamilton. The motorman saw the car approaching at a furious rate but he was unable to get out of the way in time to prevent a collision. The runaway car left rails at the curve and crashed into the other one, sending a dozen sengers to the floor in a heap.

The noise of the collision attracted the attention of the police at the corner and they were soon out in the street. A list of the injured was soon gathered pending the arrival of an ambulance surgeon from the Norwegian Hospital. Those who were hurt included: Mrs. Mary Murphy of 352 Bay Ridge avenue. who received a possible concussion of the brain.

Despite her serious jury she was removed to her home. Ella Robinson, of the same address, who received contusions to head, also went home. The others injured slightly are Arthur Bostwick, 11 years old of 430 Fifty-first street and Charles Talsen, 01 249 Fiftieth street. There were several who were only shocked but their names could not be gathered, as they went away. Both cars were badly smashed.

The motorman of the passenger car, William Lavell, escaped injury, as did also Kennewegg, despite the fact that he fell from car. Kennewegg was in the Fifth Avenue Court this morning on a charge of criminal carelessness and the hearing was adjourned until next Tuesday. AUTO FALLS OVER BANK.

STICKS TO PLAN FOR OLD CAR BARN SITE Anger of Citizens on Nostrand Avenue Doesn't Aftect the Railroad. THE BUILDING WORK GOES ON. And Repair Shop Will Lessen Speculative Value of Lots Near Penitentiary Plot. The Brooklyn Rapid Transit management does not intend to permit the anger of the property owners of the Eastern Parkway section to change its purpose to construct a line and track service building on Nostrand avenue between President and Carroll streets. The railroad people feel that the protest coming at this late date should be ignored.

It was pointed out the railroad offices to-day that all newspapers published an account of the company's Intention last November, when a general description of the buildings and their purposes was made. The buildings are now in the course of construction and the railroad people intend to go ahead with work. The property in point, it was said at there the offices, has been in the possession of the railroad company for the past twenty-five years and all puchasers of gurrounding property were acquainted with this fact. Furthermore, the old Nostrand avenue car barns were formerly located cn this site. It was only a natural conclusion, it was pointed out, that the railroad company would use the property for one purpose or another in time.

The railroad people say that the buildings they are to construct will be ornamental type, somewhat resembling the Flatbush avenue terminal of the Long Island railroad. The plant will not be a nuisance, as only small repair work will be carried on there. A track looping the buildings and crossing the sidewalk twice wili be the only disfigurement. There will not be much traffic except when the repair wagons are called out on emergencies, and the cars bring the wires and other material of the railroad which are to be stored in the build. ing.

The railroad people feel that they are justified in erecting the building in this central location. They feel that it would be impossible for them to secure an equally favorable location in any other part of the borough at a reasonable figure. The surrounding property owners, however, feel that they are being "handed a lemon" in the matter. Many of them have held on to their property for a long time, feeling that with the removal of the penitentiary values would increase. They felt a year ago that their hopes were about to be realized and now hate to abandon these hopes.

Other people pur. chased land in the neighborhood at the penitentiary sale, feeling that it had a real speculative value. Others thought it a fine investment and all felt that the section would shortly become one of the exclusive residential centers of Brooklyn. Now that they realize what the railroad company is doing they are incensed. They feel that the railroad will be a detriment to the neighborhood and they are going to fight to protect their own interests.

HARBURGER'S HOSPITAL BILL. Coroner Has Been Trying to Get It Made Law for Two Years--Now He's Happy. Coroner Julius Harburger was jubilant this morning when he learned that Governor Hughes had signed the Coroner's bill, "relating to the removal of patients from hospitals in the city of New York." The bill is designed to prevent the transfer of patients from other hospitals in the city to Bellevue when they are in a dangerous, or, in some instances, a dying condition. The situation has been notorious among those whose business makes them familiar with the hospitals, and the Coroner has, since he went into office, been frequently aroused by the report of the death of a patient in Bellevue who had been taken there from another hospital but a hours before. He has charged that some of the hospitals have endeavored to dump as many dying patients as possible on to Bellevue, to keep down the death record of their own institutions, and many times this has hastened and perhaps caused death.

When he heard that the bill was signed, he said: "After a struggle of a year and a half, in which I was assisted by Senator Sohmer and Assemblyman Huth, we finally succeeded in securing the passage of a bill in relation to the removal of patients from a hospital while in a dangerously sick or dying condition. Every superintendent or other person in authority who shall violate this act will be fined $100 for each and every offense. This act takes effect September 1 next. We fought the greatest hospital trust magnates ever found in the history of this city, who, unreasonably, unjustly and selfishly, attempted to defeat the bill. I wish to thank Governor Hughes publicly for signing this bill, as it is the most humane measure ever placed upon the statute books." MISSED HANDBAG ON LINER.

Manhattan Woman Claims It Was Stolen--Demanded That Passengers Be Searched. Coming up from Quarantine on the White Star liner Arabic, in from Liverpool this morning, Mrs. Elizabeth Beraud, of 141 West Sixty-seventh street, Manhattan, a second cabin passenger, missed her handbag, containing about $35 in English and American money, two diamond rings and a pair of earrings, and the demanded that all the passengers be searched for missing bag. This was obviously impossible, and the woman was asked to remain quiet until the ship offcials could make an investigation. Instead, she stood at the gangplank as the passengers passed from the steamer and again called for a general search of each one.

Mrs. Beraud said she had the bag about her waist at Quarantine. Just how the bag was stolen is not quite clear. ADDITIONS TO MET. MUSEUM.

WOODRUFF NOT WORRIED; REVOLT HAS NO CHIEF President Roosevelt's Influence Is Backing Up the Kings County Leader. CALDER IS STILL IN EUROPE. He Wouldn't Be There if He Were Fighting to Control September Primaries. There is a great deal of talk among Republicans of various sorts in Brooklyn of a revolt against the leadership of Timothy L. Woodruff.

To those who watch the political game, year in and year out, nothing has appeared so far which need cause alarm or force Mr. Woodruff to leave his pleasant summer camp in the Adirondacks to mend his fences here in Kings County. It appears a safe prediction that Mr. Woodruff will not be unseated at the coming primaries, and that there will be no serious opposition to his leadership. The simple facts may be briefly told.

There is, as there has been long time, a certain amount of dissatisfaction with the Woodruff leadership among the Republicans of Kings County. There is at present a feeling that Woodruff and his leaders were responsible for the defeat of the Travis permissive direct nomination bill. There is among the men who urged the passage of this bill, notably the Young Republican Club, an acute resentment against Mr. Woodruff for his al-. leged opposition.

There is in, perhaps, three or four districts a well-defined opposition to the organization leaders. The districts in which this opposition has taken concrete shape are the Fifth, the Ninth and the Seventeenth. There is still a strong anti-Woodruff sentiment in the First, the Thirteenth and the Twentysecond, but the respective leaders, M. J. Dady, Phil Williams Jacob Livingston, are not at all active and are not at all in sympathy with the reform movements in the Fifth, Ninth and Seventeenth.

On the other hand, It is obvious that there can be no formidable assault upon the Woodruff leadership without an organization and an alternative leader. There is at present no' organization of. districts or district reform movements against Woodruff, as there is no man of county leader size who is ready to make a fight against Woodruff. There has been talk of a movement to make William M. Calder leader in Woodruff's place.

Mr. Calder is now in Europe and is not at all the leader of the AntiWoodruff sentiment. There is no doubt whatever that Mr. Calder would like to be leader if he could have the place peacefully, but there is grave doubt that he will care to come out in the open against Woodruff and make a fight for the place. The fact that he is now in Europe is evidence enough that he will make no such fight at the coming primaries which are only six weeks distant.

There is only one man of prominence who has come out in the open against Woodruff and that man is Darwin R. James, president of the Young Republican Club. Mr. James has not declared himself 3 candidate for county leader, but is merely trying to indicate that the reform element in the party, known to the regulars as the "fads and fancies crowd," the is Travis dissatisfled because direct its measure, permissive nominations bill did not pass the Legislature. Woodruff's attitude toward the bill has already been told in detail in the Eagle.

He voiced the sentiments of the county committee, which voted 22 to 1 against the permissive measure. Woodruff is an organization man who believes that the majority of the party in Brooklyn is against trying exclusive experiments in politics. He worked against the measure and does not deny it. Representative Waldo, Abel E. Blackmar and many of the leading Republicans of the Union League Club, as well as James and his lieutenants in the Young Republican Club, were for the bill.

It has not yet been demonstrated that the majority of the enrolled Republicans in Brooklyn desired the bill. There is one fact which has been lost sight of in the stories of the overthrow of Woodruff and the elevation of Calder. This is that Theodore a Roosevelt is at present a supporter of Mr. Woodruff, not only in his position of leader of Kings County, but also in his office of state chairman. While this is true it is unlikely that Congressman Calder or any other man will fight actively.

Senator Charles H. Fuller (Dem.) will address the Independent Republican Association of the Seventeenth Assembly District on Monday evening at Arlington Hall, Gates and Nostrand avenues. Senator Fuller will discuss the legislative session just completed. NO WAR WITH JAPAN, HE SAYS. Admiral Dickins, Who Was on Asiatic Station, Says Two Countries Are Friendly.

Rear Admiral Franklin W. Dicking, U. S. who came home from a European trip on the White Star liner Arabic, in this morning from Liverpool, said on the way up from Quarantine that he didn't think there was any likelihood of trouble with Japan, at least at this time. The admiral said that the United States had practically introduced Japan to the society of nations some fifty years ago, and that since then the two countries had been firm friends.

"No such affair as that at San Francisco, in my opinion, is big enough or broad enough in scope to cause war between Japan and the United States," said the admiral. Admiral Dickins spent six months traveling in the British Isles and on the continent. For a considerable time he was in command of the Atlantic Coast Squadron, and for ten years previously he was assigned to the Asiatic squadron in Japanese and adjacent waters.

Tugboat Barret Impressed, and Lively Stern Chase Followed to Quarantine. Because she was caught in a crush on the Brooklyn Bridge this morning after having visited friends in Brooklyn last night before sailing on the Red Star Line steamship Finland to-day, Miss Anne Fuhry, the buyer for a Manhattan millinery house, missed the steamer and had to chase the Finland all the way to Quarantine in a tugboat.

Fuhry arrived at the pier at the foot of Fulton street, Manhattan, fifteen minutes after the Finland had thrown off her lines, and when the big liner wals already speeding past Liberty Light and toward the Narrows. The young woman had come over the bridge, but had been stalled for nearly half an hour on the structure, while some of the wrecking crew of the B. R. T. argued over the removal of a broken down truck on the north roadway.

When she finally took a Fulton street crosstown horse car it was ten minutes after sailing time, and a further blockade brought the deficiency of time against Miss Fury's account up to fifteen minutes, when she finally reached the' pier. Superintendent E. F. Wright of the American and Red Star Lines, the most accommodating marine superintendent in the port, was appealed to and at once directed that the tugboat R. J.

Barrett, Captain R. J. Barrett, which had been assisting the Finland out of her berth, and which was then lying at the end of the pier, be impressed into service to get Miss Fuhry aboard the outgoing steamship. All of Miss Fury's luggage was on the liner, having gone aboard last night. On the R.

J. Barrett, Miss Fuhry sped down the bay, the tug tooting an almost continuous signal at the Finland, which, however, paid no more attention to the tug than an elephant pays to a fly. Finally, when the R. J. Barrett was nearing Quarantine, and was fast overhauling the Finland, which had to slow down to avoid running down a tow in the Narrows, Captain Prager of the Finland noticed the tug and slowed down still further.

Then the Barrett ran under the Finland's lee rail, and matters were explained to those on board the liner. A rope ladder, the one used by the Sandy Hook pilots, was lowered over the Finland's port rail forward. Miss Fuhry climbed up the swinging affair, although the waters in the bay, made rough by a heavy wind that was blowing from the west, sent the tugboat crashing against the Finland time and time again, and kept the ladder swaying at a dangerous angle all the time. The young woman was finally hauled over the rail and to the deck, while all the Finland's passengers cheered the plucky woman. Then, when Miss Fuhry was safely on the liner, the R.

J. Barrett gave the Finland a parting salute and went back to town looking for more work. It was the most exciting chase the harbor folk had seen in many a day. PRINCE BORGHESE AT MOSCOW.
