This was an gain, as the preceding of 33 mo, appreciable, tormen and 77 conductors, or aL total of 110 men. This mean that the company's forces are yet up to requirements, but the shortage has been sensibly reduced. In the previous week the company was short 221 conductors and 163 motormen, while last week the shortage dropped to 187 conductors 100 motormen. Commissioner Kracke asked Mr.

Siebert to give special attention to getting two-car trains into service at the earliest possible moment and offered the assistance of the Commission in any effort to the delivery of the needed materials. "It looks to me as the situation in Brooklyn had taken a decided turn for the better." said Commissioner Kracke. "There is no question that the company has experienced great difficulty in getting keeping the number of employees needed to maintain good service. I am hopeful, however, now that the tide has turned, that the improvement will continue and that in a short time the causes of the greatest complain will be removed." OBITUARY WILLIAM M.

TO PAY CLAIMS SOON Encouraging News for Shareholders in Letter From Frank Bailey to A. R. Latson. Almet Reed Latson, who was author of the plan to disentangle the affirs of the Eagle Savings and Loan Company, today made the following announcement: "Every effort has been made to hasconsummation of the reorganization plan of the Eagle Savings and Loan Company and to render the money available to the shareholders earliest possigle moment. The work has proceeded without interruption through the entire summer, and vacations have been abandoned in the effort to complete the work.

The following letter, just received from Mr. Frank Bailey of the Title Guarantee and Trust Company, will be a welcome message to all of the shareholders, although we are naturally sorry that the money could not have been made available to enable the shareholders to reinvest the same in Fourth Liberty Loan Bonds, as this was our earnest hope, but perhaps upon the strength of this letter they can yet make appropriate arrangements so to do." Mr. Bailey's letter follows: "In the matter of the arrangements made some time since for the purchase of mortgages from the Eagle Savings and Loan Association for the purposes of paying off the shareholders in accordance with the reorganization plan, I regret to state that of course we cannot pay anybody until we pay all in full. "The delays attendant upon the closings of these mortgages have been caused by the failure sof the owners to sign proper papers and many other delays which were necessary and unavoidable becausce of the details attending the closing of so many separate mortgages. You must appreciate that we have already closed about 400.

The balance of the situation, I think, we now have well in hand, so that there should not be a much longer delay before we can pay the shareholders in accordance with their agreements. possibly might have been able to have closed next week were it not for the fact that our entire force is so busy on Liberty Loan matters that it is impossible to crowd in anything additional until the loan is over." 75,000 MOURN AT IRELAND'S FUNERAL St. Paul, October 2-State, municipal, civic and industrial activities in St. Paul and Minneapolis were halted today when the body of Archbishop John Ireland of the Roman Catholic Diocese of St. Paul was borne to a grave Calvary Cemetery.

The ceremony in the Archdiocese Cathedral at 10 o'clock this forenoon and the funeral procession at noon were solemnly impressive. Hundreds of military men attended the Pontifical high mass. Archbishop Ireland was a chaplain in the Civil War, and it has been said that his untiring efforts to assist his country after war was declared on Germany caused the physical breakdown which was held responsible for his death. The mass was said by Bishop Thomas O'Gorman of Sioux Falls, S. a lifelong friend and co- worker of Archbishop Ireland, Nearly 1,000 Catholic clergymen, including archbishops, bishops and newly ordained priests participated in the ceremony.

More than 75,000 persons every station in life, escorted the body to a small green plot in Calvary Cemetery, where the Archbishop, in response to his dying request, was buried among his friends.

BROWN HELD IN BAIL FOR ASSAILING BOY; APOLOGYUNACCEPTED Special Sessions Will Hear Case of "Town Crier," Kicked on Liberty Loan Work.

Although Magistrate Alfred E. Steers in the Flatbush court today maintained that the arrest last Friday night of Clarence S. Brown of 1871 Flatbush ave. was improperly made, he nevertheless agreed to a change in the complaint against the man who kicked Charles Tilgner Jr. downstairs while the lad was representing the Fourth Liberty Loan, and, 011 the more serious charge of assault in the third degree than that originally preferred Brown was held under $300 bail for the Court of Special Sessions.

Brown, 49 years old, a descendant of a family that has lived in Flatbush for 200 years, was markedly nervous when his case was called. He brushed his white hair nervously with his hands and his lips could be seen to quiver beneath his stubby white mustache. In addition to the embarrassment he felt at being called on to face an accusation that he had kicked and punched a 13-year-old boy while the lad was officially delivering the Fourth Liberty Loan edition of the Stars and Stripes, the defendant was much perturbed because he had sought to apologize to the boy's father, Charles Tilgner of 2083 New York a consulting engineer for the Board of Estimate, and had 1 been curtly told the matter was out of Mr. Tilgner's hands. "No Doubt of Assault." Brown heard from Magistrate Steers that there was no doubt of his having assaulted the boy.

This followed a hearing in which the Liberty Loan Committee was represented by two lawyers, both of them instructed to press to the limit the case against the defendant. David Drechssler appeared for the Stars and Stripes Committee of the Tenth Inspection District, and former Assistant District Attorney Edward A. Freshman appeared for the Liberty Loan Committee. Brown was represented by John T. Booth.

Originally, Brown was charged with disorderly conduct. Mr. Dresschler urged upon the court that assault in the second degree was the proper charge, saying that he had a doctor present to testify to the swelling of young Tilgner's face, where he was punched, and to bruises on his leg. where he was kicked. "It shouldn't be assault in the second degree, but assault in the third degree," ruled the court.

"I will agree to consider it assault in third degree if counsel for the defendant will consent." Lawyer Booth acquiesced at once, and Magistrate Steers continued: "I would have found him guilty on the evidence before me. Now I wiil hold him for Special Sessions in $300 bail. There has been a great deal of publicity about this case and one evening newspaper has persisted in keeping the matter going. I want to say again I am not wrong in the matter. I have referred it to every magistrate, and they all agree with me.

The Chief Magistrate does not disagree with me and has promised to write an opinion in the case. "The boy undoubtedly was assaulted and I should found the defendant guilty this morning. The boy was doing a grand, good work, but the father had no authority to make an arrest. He was arrested in an unlawful way. They should have come to court for their action.

saw or heard of the defendant before." Put in Wrong Light." plea that Brown had been put in the wrong light was advanced by his counsel, and it was urged that he had been annoyed by boys before, and thought young Tilgner was one of the former annoyers. "If he had known what the boy was doing I know he would have taken him in," said Mr. Booth. "I want to call the court's attention to the fact that he not only kicked the boy once, but when the boy came on the stoop for his hat he kicked him again, in spite of his uniform and the papers in his hand," put in Lawyer Drechssler. "If he is sorry and sincere in his desire to apologize, let him buy a $1,000 Liberty Bond and present it to the Red Cross, and the boy will withdraw the charge." Before there could be any answer to this suggestion Magistrate Steers cut off further comment with a held in $300 bail.

Call emptory: the next case." Brown gave bail for himself, putting up his home at 1871 Flatbush ave. as security. It was from him that it was learned Mr. Tilgner had refused to accept an apology on behalf of himself and his son. Brown said he met Mr.

Tilgner on the way to court this morning and offered to apologize. In addition to the other Liberty Loan representation in court against Brown, Leo D. Greenfield, executive member of the Stars and Stripes Committee, and A. E. Greenfield, district chief of the 70th Precinct, were on hand this morning.

and Agen Fred Mullins of the S. P. C. C. was also present.

FEATHERS Great excitement was caused yesterday on a certain pier on the South Brooklyn waterfront, where a steamer had just arrived from a foreign port. A watchman who had been sent aboard the ship to patrol it, rushed into the office of the Government inspectors and reported that he had found a bomb or infernal machine in a coal bunker.

The inspectohs hurried to the bunker, and, sure enough, sticking out of the coal was a11 object about 18 inches long, 10 inches wide and a foot deep.

COL. LIEBMANN DIED OF DIRECT SHELL HIT BRAVING DRUMFIRE Left Dugout During Hun "Strafe" to Observe -Killed Instant Later. First news of the way in which Lt. Col. Morris N.

Liebmann, former second in command of the old 23d Regt. of Brooklyn, met his death in Flanders on August 6 has just been brough to this country by Sgt. L. Warnke of Co. 106th Henry.

Col. Liebmann was formerly Sgt. Warnke's superior in old 23d. In the reorganization of thee 27th Division, the Lt. Col.

went to 105th Inf. and met his death at the Flanders front, while the sergeant went to the 106th and escaped uninjured through all the terrific fighting in Flanders in which the 106th has distinguished itself. Lt. Col. Liebmann, the sergeant reA battalion of the 105th parports, was killed direct shell hit.

ticularly exposed position and was being "strafed" to the limit point by German shell fire. Lt. Col. Liebmann had gone to battalion headquarters and was under cover there with the officers of the battalion. The German fire became so acute that it seemed a question of minutes before all must succumb.

"Let's get out of here," said several of the officers, and they started to suit the action to the word. "No," said Lt. Col. Liebmann. "Remain where you are until I look over the ground." Without a thought of self, and considering only the men for whose safety he was responsible, Lt.

Col. Liebmann stepped out from the shelter of the dugout to observe what the "strafing" might mean and to determine what were the chances of moving to a safer position. He had gone but a few feet from the dugout when a great German shell struck him point blank. "He was blown to bits," said Sgt. Warnke.

"'He never knew what hit him." Sgt. Warnke has been back in this country for nearly a fortnight, but most of friends have just learned of his arrival. The surprise to them has been in some respects similar to that which the sergeant gave to his wife. He arrived home ten days ago, his speedy journey beating out by many days a letter he had sent from the other side telling of the news that he had been ordered to the United States as an instructor. When the vessel on which he was a passenger docked in New York he tried to telephone his wife at their home, 2502 Gravesend but she was not in.

The sergeant came on to Brooklyn as quickly as he could. Just as he reached the door of his home Mrs. Warnke appeared. "She thought I was a ghost," he said, "and she refused for hours to believe that it was really Sgt. Warnke returns here with a commission awaiting him and with special work as an intelligence instructor ahead of him.

A member of the old 23d since 1913. he served with the regiment at the Mexican border and, with the outbreak of our war against Germany, took up the especial study of Army intelligence work. With the 106th in Flanders, he became one of the chief scouts and was the intelligence scout of the First Batt. One of his last details before returning home was to guide the British unit into the position, where it relieved the First Batt. It had to be done at night, along roads exposed to constant shell and snipers' fire, and it was the sergeant's first trip over the road.

His experiences have made the sergeant very quiet, and it is difficult to get him to tell of them, except for one statement. This is that the 106th "is a peach of a bunch--not afraid of anything." Sgt. Warnke leaves shortly for Camp Travis, San Antonio, Texas.

OBJECTOR GETS A YEAR Pinkus Strul, 24 of 319 South Fifth who doesn't believe in war and used all the available conscientious objection propaganda to keep himself out of the Army, was sent to jail for one year by Judge Chatfield today in the United States Court. Pinkus, who shivered with fear at the very thought of the first line trenches, boldly declared that he just could not kill anybody, even in war, and for that reason he did not register with the local draft board in his district. When Judge Chatfield announced the sentence Pinkus looked very much relieved, realizing that by the time he got out of his bomb-proof shelter the war might be over. KENSINGTON CIVICS ELECT.

Northport, or 177 Montague st, Brook- BRITISH EXPEDITION GETS GERMAN MINES IN THIS Other Plants, Including Big Wireless Station in Spitzbergen, Among Property Seized. (By the Associated Press.) London, October 2-Seizure by a British expedition of German mining property and other development plants in Spitzbergen, including a big wireless installation, is reported by the Express with the intimation that the work of developing immensely rich iron and coal deposits is proceeding. It is said they will be of the greatest importance to Great Britain and the Allies. The expedition to Spitzbergen sailed a few months ago under the protection of the British navy. Sir Ernest Shackleton, the famous Antarctic explorer, was the commander, but he was subsequently obliged to leave and take up other duties.

His successor, F. W. S. Jones, who returned to London yesterday, gave an enthusiastic description of the vast mineral wealth which has hitherto been merely tapped to a limited extent by British, German, Swedish and Norwegian companies. The expedition, Mr.

Jones said, took a large number of miners, an enormous quantity of mining material and supplies suflicient for three years, and work is now going on on a large scale. Captain Will, who was with Scackleton in the Antarctic, is in charge of operations. Mr. Jones says the expedition met with considerable difficulties and danger, including encounters with eight German submarines. 350 KILLED ON SWEDISH RAILWAY Train Carrying 1,000 Passengers Runs Into Washout of Line North of London.

Fifty children, who were returning to Stockholm from the country, are among the dead. The railway line had been destroyed at this point by several days of rain and a large passenger train with twenty-four cars, carrying 1,000 passengers, ran into the break. Several coaches were smashed and subsequently caught fire. Up to the time the correspondent filed the dispatch only fifty persons had been accounted for.
