They assert in addition that the new tax is unconstitutional. OLD CABLE RAILROAD ON FIRE Sea Cliff Volunteers Had Hard Job to Save It. Blaze Threatened Great Damage-People Sorry Road Could Not Have Gone, but for Other Loss. (Special to the Eagle.) Sea Cliff, L. December cable railroad caught fire this afternoon, and for a time it was feared that the village might be fire-swept.

The road adjoins the. Battershall Inn and the large a house owned by Mrs. A. H. Dailey of Brooklyn.

Owing to the inaccessibility of the road the firemen had a hard time in getting the fire under control, as there was a very stiff wind blowing shore. The damage was entirely confined to the roadbed, and only a section of that was destroyed. While many persons would have been glad to see the whole road had such been the case to the fire would hardly have stopped at that, but might have done wide damage. This morning men at the Battershall Inn were cleaning up the grounds, burning leaves, Several persons who saw what they were doing commented on the folly of lighting a fire outdoors with a strong wind blowing. The men evidently went to another part of the grounds while the fire was still burning.

and some of the embers blew under the trestle, setting the roadbed on fire. The blaze was discovered before it had much headway and the firemen responded quickly the alarm. They had to climb down on the roadbed and to run their hose down from the street and over the ties in order to get any kind of a chance to reach the flames. Two powerful streams of water were played on the fire for a half hour or more before it was entirely subdued. The cable railroad has not been used for some years.

It was never a moneymaker and lost money for the company which owned it. It is an eyesore and unsanitary and many persons would have liked to see it burned up. LYONS-On December 17, 1909, JAMES M. LYONS. Funeral from his late residence, 18 Prospect place.

Reported That U. S. District Attorney Caused Breaking of Contract With Gerbracht. An advertisement for a superintendent for the Arbuckle Sugar Refinery has revealed -the resignation of Joseph Stillman, for many years the refinery superintendent. The resignation of Mr.

Stillman as superintendent will take effect January 1. He resides at 35 East Ninth street, Manhattan. Although Mr. Stillman was superintendent during the time of the alleged sugar frauds committed by the Arbuckle employes, John Arbuckle, president of the concern, stated in an interview last night that retiring superintendent was not involved and that his resignation should not be taken as a reflection on him. He said two assistants were to be employed hereafter.

Mr. Stillman made the following statement of the situation last night: "My resignation is purely a personal matter between myself and the concern, and I don't care to go into the details of it. I resigned five or six months ago and my resignation takes effect the first of the year. My action in quitting the company is not due in any way to the disclosures in the sugar Mr. Stillman would not say whether or not he had any other position in view.

His salary is said to have been $15,000 or $20,000 a year. Ernest W. Gerbracht, who was accused in connection with the frauds disclosed in the American Sugar Refining Company, recently entered into a five-year contract with the Arbuckle Company at a salary fixed at $30,000 a year. It is said that by agreement with Special Deputy Attorney General Stinson the contract with Gerbracht was broken. The latter refused a settlement of $15,000, and it is understood the company then broke the contract with him.

Under the head "Help Wanted the Arbuckle company is running the folWANTED sugar refinery superintendent, qual. lowing advertisement: ified to take entire charge of refinery; also agsistant superintendent. Address, with full particulars to experience BROTHERS, and Confidential, qualifications. 71 ARBUCKLE Water st. New York.

A reporter for the Eagle called on Mr. Arbuckle yesterday morning to ascertain what the situation was that called for the two men named in the advertisement, and if the removal of any one in the employ of the company was due to the recent disclosures in the sugar situation. Mr. Arbuckle was in a meeting of the firm, said to have been held for the purpose transacting routine business. but in fifteen 1 minutes he appeared.

As to all questions touching the situation Mr. Arbuckle was reticent, and he referred the reporter to Mr. Stimson, whom he intimated was. familiar with the Arbuckle situation. He said Ernest W.Gerbracht, formerly of the American Sugar Refining Company, was not working for him, and would not.

Mr. Stimson was called over the 'phone this afternoon, and asked if he knew anything of the Arbuckle superintendent and assistant a superintendent situation. The message a representative of Mr. Stimson that he had nothing to say. Mr.

Arbuckle was communicated with again last night and gave the name of Mr. Stillman as the superintendent who was resigning, as told above. He refused to discuss the situation as to who the assistant was who is thought to have resigned with Mr. Stillman. OBITUARY Mary J.

E. L. Clark. (Special to the Eagle.) Riverhead. L.

December here learned yesterday of the death this week, in New Haven, of E. L. Clark, for.merly editor and proprietor of the Riverhead Courier, now defunct. Mr. Clark was about seventy-five years old, and has been an invalid for some years.

He formerly held positions as an editorial writer on one of the Elmira, N. dailles, in New Haven. and in other places. While in Riverhead he had bad advisers and his trenchant pen was unwisely wielded. The consequences was that he was convicted of criminal libel.

and shortly after the Courier's publication stopped. In spite of al Ithis he was a good citizen, and made some friends who now mourn his death. GRABBED CLERK'S MONEY Then Donnelly Caught Stranger, Got Money Back and Fed Him. This Might Be Compounding a Felony in Law, but the Recording Angel Will Forgive Donnelly. There was a case of compounded felony in the Adams street court yesterday afternoon, not long before the court was adjourned for the day, and Paul J.

nelly, the complaint clerk and a lawyer, was the compounder. He did not compound by the receipt of cash; indeed, the compounding cost him money, and he was glad to pay it. But in spite of all that may be said there was a clear highway robbery in the court; or, if not a highway robbery, a robbery in the first degree, which is a felony. Donnelly was robbed, forcibly, of $5 of the court's funds by a man who had smuggled himself into the clerk's room, Thereby hangs the tale. Donnelly was fussing about doing the work' of the chief clerk yesterday afternoon, and in the course of the business of the court he collected a fine of $5.

The money was paid in one-dollar bills, and the five made a most attractive greenback bundle as Donnelly carried it into the room in his hands. Sitting in a chair, near his desk. was a swarthy little poorly clad and shivering. The clerk noted, merely incidentally, that the stranger looked like a Malay. As Donnelly passed with the cash in his hand the dusky stranger sprang from his seat and snatched the five one-dollar bills from his hand.

Donnelly went back at the man, took the money away and got him by the coat collar. Down went the stranger on his knees. He jabbered a prayer for mercy and was as humble as Uriah Heep. "What's the matter with you, my man?" asked Donnelly. "Why did you do that?" "Me starving," replied the black.

"Me have nothin' to eat for days. Me want food." "If that's all that's the matter with you we'll soon fix you up," returned the clerk. "But don't you try that trick again. I'll pulverize you if you do." So the clerk dipped down in his pocket and sent out for coffee and roast beef and trimmings that would suit any Malay person, and while the messenger was out the stranger was held a prisoner. The man was not plain hungry.

He was ravenous. He went at the food that the clerk got him like a famished animal, and his eyes were expressive, as he ate, of the most pathetic gratitude. Donnelly had more in store for him if he had stayed. He would have provided shelter for him for the night. But a strange policeman who did not know the facts shooed him away from the court when the clerk was otherwise busy.

and SO Donnelly lost him. But it was, nevertheless, a clear case of compounding A felony, and it is likely that the angel who has charge of the Penal Code up above scratched the offense that Donnelly had committed off his books. CORONER HOLDS CHAUFFEURS. Two Must Face Criminal Negligence Charge in Connection With Death. Coroner Brewer and a jury last night held an inquest into' the circumstances at tending the death of James Lyons, of 278 Hart street, the switchman of the DeKalb avenue line, who was knocked down and killed by a taxicab driven by Charles Denike last Sunday morning.

3700 Pros. WOMEN OF JAMAICA IN LINE FOR BALLOT They Deny Being Suffragettes, But Do Want to Vote. NO SPECTACULAR METHODS. Organization to Be Formed to Cover the Fourth A. D.

of QueensGrowth Expected. The the cause of woman suffrage is progressing requires no more re proof than that it has at last secured a firm lodging place in the quiet, conservative town of Jamaica, where an organization is now in the course of formation which bids fair to become a power for the spreading of the woman. suffrage idea among the unconverted. The club is to be known as the Jamaica Woman Suffrage Association. It had its origin some time ago at a meeting in the Queens Borough Real Estate Exchange, when a convention of the woman suffragists of the Fourth Assembly District of Queens was held.

Following ing, a group of those most interested gathered about a week ago at the home of Mrs. Charles A. Hamilton, wife of Professor Hamilton of the Boys High School, at 36 Park avenue, Jamaica, to form a working organization. Among some of the most enthusiastic of the group were Mrs. I.

N. Taylor, wife of the principal of the Richmond Hill High School; Mrs. Henry Linville, wife of Professor Linville of the Jamaica High; Mrs. Hamilton, Mrs. George Conable, Mrs.

Elizabeth Earle, Mrs. George Brinkerhoff and Mrs. Franklin. Mrs. Hamilton was appointed the constitution committee, and the date of the next meeting for the adoption of the constitution and the election of officers was set for January 4 at the home of Mrs.

George Conable, 15 Myrtle avenue, Richmond Hill. Association Will Be Conservative 1 in Its Methods. According to tentative plans the association will hold monthly meetings at the homes of the various members, at which a campaign for the conversion of the rest of the female sex to the belief in votes for women will be laid out and at which prominent speakers will be secured. Mrs. Clarence H.

Mackay will, it is expected, be one of the first of these speakers. association will for a while comprise resThe idents of Jamaica and Richmond Hill. although with its growth the Richmond Hill suffragists will probably form a separate organization. "It is not our intention," said Mrs. Hamilton yesterday, in speaking of the organization, "to adopt suffragette methods.

propaganda will be along conservative lines. Some of our good Jamaica friends have a wrong idea of the woman suffrage movement. They think that we desire the ballot so that we may hold office or that women may hang around the polls or that we want to go to war or work on the police force. They credit us with wanting to parade the streets and argue with the men on votes for women. "We want woman suffrage because we have a.

vital interest in many things concerning the home which we can only secure through the ballot. There is now a monster petition being circulated by the women. setting forth the iniquities of child labor and asking for a better child labor law. If women had the ballot they would not have to petition; they could vote for a better law. and their votes would read count.

Now. a petition is frequentby the legislators and thrown into the waste basket, because we have no vote. Interested in Good Municipal Housekeeping. "We, as housekeepers, are as interested as men in the city housekeeping, in the cleaning of the streets and the parks, and, of course, everything which pertains to the schools is within our immediate interest. We do not believe that the ballot would take woman out of the home, but that it would enlarge her sphere of interest and usefulness.

To say that a woman should not vote, because she would not serve on the police or 80 to war, is absurd. Every man vho votes doesn't serve on the police, nor yet go to war." While acknowledging the conservatism of many of the women in Jamaica, Mrs. Hamilton, who was former president, and is now first vice president, of the Queens Borough Musical Society and treasurer of the Jamaica Women's believed that there were many progressive Jamaica women who would, presently become active workers for the cause.
