Milliken today asserted that Hill, above all others, should be the last person to tile a suit against him They married sisters.

The critical period of the Patrick case was approaching and I wrote to three of Mr. Patrick's brothers-in-law, requesting them to aid In getting Mr. Patrick a new trial" he said. He sent me X) shares of stock In a company that cost him a dollar, and whlth at the time was worthless, as the company was Insolvent to the tune of uH. For years It waa Impossible to make both ends meet tn the oil com pany.

I kept advancing money, securing new leases, until I had put up over 1107.000, and finally found a large pool of oil (hat has made the -company a success. After Mr. Patrick was lit rated from prison he visited Denver, and the ext time I aaw him he told me that his two brothers-in-law In Denver tried to get him to join thin in a suit against me for the oil stock. I have no fear as to the final outcome of the suit, as my title to the stock is without blemish. Mr.

Hill's contributions toward Mr. Patrick was a bunch of 11 stock, that waa worthies at the time he contributed it. after I bad procured Mr. Patrick's liberty and placed htm tn a position to prove his Innocence, and after I had put up over 1 107.0TO to make a worthless piece of paper good, risk mv money, and do all the work.

the $6,000,000 SITE SOLD IN UPPER BROADWAY Bissest Real Estate Deal in Years Includes Frontage Be- tween 35th and 36th Sts. PLAN BIG OFFICE BUILDING Herald Square' Theatre Among the Structures to Go When Construe-tion It Begun Next May. The site of the Herald Square Theatre, on the northwest corner of Broadway and Thtrty-flfth Street, with the rest of the Broadway frontage, taking In the Thirty-sixth Street corner, was sold yesterday for about ffl.onn.OOO. It Is the biggest real estate deal that has been made on Manhattan Island In a long time. The buyers are William Henry Barnum and WlKiam Everdell.

and they have had plan. prepati for a twelve-story office building which will cover the entire tract. The property was purchased from Charles E. Johnson, whorie family has owed most of the plot for more than sixty years. The corner occupied by the theatre has, been the only part of the property that has been Improved The theatre Is now under lease to the Shuberts.

and the new owners will not take possession until that lease expires, on May 1. 1913. The other leases expire at the same time Plans for the new office building have been made by Clinton Russell, and the conatructlon contract has been let to the Thomneon-Starrett Company. Nearly will be spent on the Improve- ment, so that the entire Investment to the new owners will represent, on the completion of th building In the Spring of 191. St least SS.0OO.0OO.

Outside of the Grand Central and Vennsyeveeila Stations, no building project on so large a scale has been attempted uptown for many years. The prqperty haa a Broadway frontage of 211 feet. 207 feet on Thirty-fifth Street, and 81 feet on Thirty-sixth Street. More than three years ago the Shuberts contracted to buy the block for about SA.iXX'.noo. but the deal fell through, and more recently a syndicate had an option on the block for a hotel, but that.

too. was abandoned. William A. White A Sons were the brokers who closed the deal for the buyers, and Fi at O. Pfiomm rpprenented Mr.

Johnson. Some Idea of the advancing values in upper RroadwaV may be gathered from the fact that while the block Just sold is asserted for S2. 135.000. it sold for nearly three times that amount. The site of the Herald Square Theatre has been used for amusement purposes for forty years.

The first show building erected there was the Colosseum, built In Here two surcesnful panoramas. "London by Day" snd by Night." were given. Soon nftcr the building was removed to Philadelphia, and then Charles Relche erected an Aquarium. It was opened In 1S7G. and was very profitable.

When the popularity of the fishes wore off, other entertainments were given there, and Gen. and Mrs. Tom Thumb were among those hired to attract the crowd. In 1SS3 Hyde A Behman took a long lease of the plot and erected a new theatre, which they named the New Park Theatre. It was opened In November.

1SS3. and most of its furnishings came from Edwin Booth's old theatre Sixth Avenue and Twenty-third Street. Under different managers it had a long career of success. Among the well-known players who appeared there were Mme. Janauscliek.

Annie Plxley. Kate Claxton. William Mestayer, Dion and Aubrey Boucicault. Agnes Booth. Minnie Maddern.

now Mrs. Flake: Kyrle Bellew, Mrs. Brown Potter. Frank Mayo, and Maurice Barry- more. Harrigan and Hart took the theatre In 18M.

and tfie next year Edward Harri gan opened It as Harrlgan's Park Theatre, producing The Leather Patch the first time on Feb. 3. and Pete in 1887. This play ran for five months. Following Harrigan came Barry and Fay with their Irish comedies a season.

In-1894 the house waa entirely rebuilt, and opened In September of that year the Herald Square Theatre, with Richard Mansfield in Anns and the Man." He also produced there Prince Karl and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." Evans and Hoey had the theatre In 1WJ7. About ten years ago the Shuberts leased house, and it was their first New York playhouse. For the last three or four seasons it has been devoted to vaudeville and moving pictures.

William H. Barnum and William Ever-dnll. purchased, a few days ago. the northwest corner of Marllnon Avenue and Forty-fourth Street, where they will erect a ten-story building for the clothing firm of Brooks Brothers, who have taken a long lease. About two years they erected tne Tngacre Building on the Astor property at the northeast corner of Broadway and Forty-second Street, and they also erected and the Anderson Building, at 16 and 18 West tSreet.

RISKED HIS LIFE FOR THE FIREBUG Schultz, Saved from Swaying Shutter Amid Flames, Set Stable Afire. When Lieut.

Jacob Levy of Hook and Ladder 6 risked his life in a daring and spectacular rescue at' the three-alarm fire In Meyer's stables. 219 and Cherry Street, on Sunday he had no Idea who the man was who clung craz-lly to a swaing shutter at a sixth floor window with flames all around blm. Yesterday Antonio Schultx. the rescind stableman, half-demented Pole, con fessed that he set the flr. Intending to burn himself jto death, and only ran to the window the scorching flames took away all hin nerve.

What do you think of that? was all Levy could say when the news was brought to him. Levy brought the stableman down after a perilous climb on two swinging scaling ladders over the' face of tne burning building and then Schultx accepted a subpoena to" appear before Fire Marshal Prior at 10 A. M. yesterday. He didn't stop to thank his rescuer, but slunk away to his home at 134 Madison Street, wtiere he said noth'nii about his experience to his wife and three children, but went to bjd and slept soundly for eleven hours.

Lieut. Levy meanwhile had to answer several other alarms with his company, and at o'clock last night had had very little sleep for twenty-four hours. Schultx. who is 33 years old. and has been employed In the stables for five years at $11 a week, went to the Fire Marshal's office yesterday morning, and before Marshal Prior had proceeded far in tho investigation as to the cause of the fire which Imperiled the lives of ninety hornes, the stuiiinman admlltid that he had applied a match to a bale of straw on the top floor of the staole.

Marshal Trior took him Deiore Assistant District Attorney eller, where Schmtz made a full confession. He speaas very poor English.

Weller asked, I wanted tb burn myself to aeatn. said Schultz. Why did you want to do thatT Hard living." Schultz replied. and If I buraed to dcatn I would not have to live any more. Did vou bum youraeir? Kn.

I went near the fire. I wanted to burn in the bundle of straw. Then I felt hot and did not know what to do or where to go. I went to the window and held roysulf until they put a ladder up. Aa soon as I felt hot I Jumped to the window." Did you feel sorry for what you did? No.

I Was always thinking It would be much better for me." Only once during the questioning was a note of sympathy aroused In the stableman. That was when Mr. Weller mentioned the horses. Schultz s.iid he thnturht the hnrea would be saved, all right. That was whv he started the fire on the top floor where there were 110 horses, he explained.

Schultz was taken before Magistrate Harris and held in $2,300 for the Grand Jury. His indictment will be asked for. probably on Friday, and then the District Attorney's office will move to have his mental condition examined. Mr. Weller said he believed Schultz's simple story, and that there was no'hing to indicate that the stablemean acted for others.

Schultz, he said, had insisted that he had never tnrtef any other fire, and that he had no enemies. 'ould you have risked your life for hat man If you had known he set fire to the stables?" l.leut. waa asked last night. He hesitated a minute a in! thr replied Why. of course I would.

There Is no discrimination in this business."

X. June 22. A group of anarchists who Invaded Tarry-town tonight and tried to conduct a free speech rally, was driven away by showers of rotten eggs and vege tables after a riot in which the local police were obliged to call in the Aqueduct mounted constabulary to help them protect the reds." The agitators, who came from New York, marched through the streets of the village, shouting revolutionary songs and gathered at a plot of ground on the Aqueduct property, which Is under the Jurisdiction of the City of New-York. Like the minute' men of "78 Tarrytown's harassed villagers went forth to repel the foe. The shrieking of the sirens and horns of scores of automobiles drowned out the agitators' speeches.

but they would not be denied. Not even when they were pelted with all sorts of missiles did they yield, but finally, charged by a Jerring mob, they retreated. The Tarry-town people pressed them until they fled to the New York Central Station, overcome by their assailants, but shouting defiance. Once the situation was In hand, the Aqueduct police, a squad of twelve, used force with the agitators. They lined them up on the station platform, searched them for weapons and pushed them unceremoniously Into the smoker when tho New York train arrived.

In the car Arthur Caron and Robert Plun-kett, two of the leaders, showed that their heads had been cut, and they charged the Aqueduct men with assault. Coats and shirts were torn from the bodies of several others the train pulled out. Within the last month there had been many exciting times in this village, but tonight's demonstration was far fiercer than anything that had occurred before. The villagers had heard from the Free Speech League, the Francises Ferrar Association, the I. W.

W. and the Socialists. All of them harped on free speech and defied John D. Rockefeller, but the various groups of agitators differed In the principles which they tried to expound. Some of them were for a peaceful agitation for free speech, others for a radical movement, but the leaders usually were restrained from going aa far as they liked.

All class distinctions Were laid aside to-night. Alexander Berk man raised a party of thirty-eight anarchists, taking only such as he could rely upon. Upton Sinclair and Lincoln Stcffena were shut out because of a spilt between the so-called radicals and conservatives In the Free Speech League. Berkman did take Leonard Abbott. President of the Free Speech league, and Becky Edelson, Caron, and I'lunkett; also Marie Yuster and Helen Ooldblat.

llrdi' laaalon a Sarprlse. Berkman's party was assembled In New York.
