After the wedding there will be a reception at the home of the parents pf the bride, at 219 Madison avenue. Miss Louise organ is the oldest daughter of the well known banker, and has been her father's favorite companion since her earliest girlhood. She appears to have inherited from her father a certain disiike for publicity of any sort, and has never been a figure in the social set to which the wealth and distinction of her family gave her an entree.

She has shown a marked preference 1 i'or an outdoor life over that of the ball Don't (ret i I i room, and has given many indications of an curred at St. Patrick's Cathedral, Manhattan, artistic rather than a social ambition.

RIDER ERICSSON ENGINE 22 Cortlandt St, New York. ALBANY LEGISLATION. Witness Says Lawmakers Who Dc Not Support Certain Bills Are Blacklisted. UNION LOBBYISTS AT CAPITAL. Legislators Do Not Hesitate to Say They Are Afraid of Labor Vote, Declares Mr.

Harding. Washington, November 15 The Industrial Commission devoted its forenoon session today to hearing testimony from members of the New York Builders' League, the first witness being J. P. Leo, president qf the league. One of the witnesses, Louis Harding, said that the labor unions controlled state legislation by means ot a black list.

Mr. Leo's testimony dealt largely with the methods of settling disputes in the different branches of the building trade. He announced himself as favorable to arbitration and be mildly criticised some of the methods of the trades unions. He declared that comparatively few men control the decisions ot the union, and that those who object to these decisions subject theniBelveB to criticism. The witness said his 'league had never in case of a strike called in the aid of the State Board of Arbitration, believing that the best way to reach an; understanding was to meet directly a committee of the.

strikers. The State Board had been accused, 'he eald, cf partiality. Judson Lawson, also a member of the Builders' League of New York, indorsed what Mr. Leo had said and added that he was a zealous advocate of arbitration, though not of compulsory arbitration. Louis Harding, a member of the board of managers of the New York Builders' League, testified in lines very similar to those followed by preceding witnesses.

Speaking of labor legislation, Mr. Harding said the. labor organizations kept men at Albany during sessions of the state Legislature and that members of that body who did not support the measures pressed by these representatives were placed upon a blacklist and marked tor opposition at the next election. "The legislators are afraid of the labor vote," he said, "and they don't hesitate to say so." He expressed the opinion that most of the laws enacted in the state in the past few years had worked injury to the laboring men themselves. Also, he asserted that the high price of labor in New York and the short hours observed were having the effect of driving certain classes of work out of the state.

After Mr. Harding retired, Mr. Leo returned to the stand. He said he knew members ot the New York State Assembly who had been marked for opposition by labor association because of their position on labor measures. Indeed, he said, there had been for a time opposition to the Democratic candidate tot Governor In the recent election on that account, but it afterward was withdrawn.

He said the labor organizations were in the habit of keeping a lobby of eight or ten men In Albany while the Legislature was in session. BERGE WANTED HERE. Accused of Getting Money on Two Forged Checks Will Be Tried in Hartford. (Special to the Eagle.) Hartford, November 15 Chief of Police Bill of this city has received a letter from Thomas C. Humphrey, commanding the Brooklyn detective bureau, to the effect that Thomas C.

Berge, who was arrested here recently for attempting to pass a forged check at a local hotel. Is wanted In Brooklyn. Humphrey states that be has a warrant for Berge on the charge of. passing worthless checks. Berge, it Is said.

Is also wanted In other cities. The prisoner wil) not be turned over to the Brooklyn authorities at this time; as he la now awaiting trial before the Superior Court of Hartford County. Sergeant Humphrey said to day that Berge was wanted in this borough for getting money on two forged checks, one of which was cashed by the proprietor of the Avoca Villa and the other by William Hunter, who keeps a resort on the road. Berge is well known in Brooklyn and was previously arrested here on a simlar charge. MAYOR FLOOD AGAIN ACCUSED.

Miss Loonie Retracts Her Retraction In the Elmira Sensation. Elmira, N. November 15 Catharine Loonie made the following statement to day as the latest sensation in the Flood Loonle case. It was given to J. John Hassctt, her former attorney, in tho presence of Frank Howard, deputy sheriff: "Herbert N.

Babcock came to my cell in the afternoon while my sister was there and had a typewritten copy retracting my statement that I had made and wanting me to sign it, stating that tho doctor wanted to use li in the civil suits brought by the Elmira Savings Bank. "After reading It over, I refused to alga It. He went away. That evening about 8 o'clock he came to my cell apparently very much excited and said that Mayor Flood was on the verge of insanity and that he was going to commit suicide. I thought I would rather spend twenty years additional In State Prison than to be the direct cause of Mayor Flood committing suicide, and so I signed the paper.

"I am ready to go to the Grand Jury and repeat my original affidavit containing the hlBtory of my relations with Mayor Flood, from the beginning for that affidavit la InH In every particular." A SOURCE OF DELAY. Continued From Page 1. under the old system. Mr. Klendl arose to object and.there.

was an argument between the counsel and finally Mr. Klendl said: Give TJB the Old Service, Says Mr. Kiendl. "What we want is the old service back. Give us that and you may tear down the loop.

What we" is a service eo that we may reach our homes." Professor Oollln called attention to the fact that tho Kings County line had carried more passengers in October last than in the same month' of previous years, and asked why the people patronized the line if they ere not. satisfied. Mr. Fisher replied In the negative. Edward' T.

Meyers, a colored man. who said he was a coachman, and lived at 114 Pennsylvania avenue, was the next witness. He said he had seen a woman Tall from a platform at the roop, which occurred on the day the loop' opened. Mr. Klendl said he knew of two or three other accidents that had occurred as the result of the false platforms in use at the loop.

One man, he said, was unable to be present as a witness because he was confined to his bed. Noyes Palmer, a surveyor, was next called. He was shown a photograph of the loop and asked if he had examined the loop. He said he had visited the same and had made a sketch of It. It was a correct sketch without measurement.

This was offered and admitted as evidence. Professor Collin said he would make no objection to the sketch being used as evidence. The company would gladly furnish a blue print of the loop. The loop station, Mr. Palmer said, differed from all other platform stations he had seen, because they were built on curved lines.

"The loop," he said, "was a proper place to switch trains, but not a proper place to unload passengers." Mr. Palmer further denounced the loop and its workings in a manner similar to previous witnesses. Testimony of Edward F. Linton. Edward F.

Linton, the next witness, said that under the old system he had made the trip from his home to the bridge on elevated trains in about thirty five minutes. Under the present system he had not been able to make the trip in less than fifty five minutes. He said also that people had removed from the Twenty sixth Ward because of the present wretched railroad service and that real estate had depreciated in value as a result. He was often visited, he sail, by people complaining of the railroad service. At this point counsel for the railroad raised objection to the admission of hearsay evidence and Stephen C.

Baldwin argued at some length to show that it should be admitted. It was finally decided that such evidence should be admitted. Shortly after 1 o'clock adjournment was taken until 2 o'clock. R0SSITER WILL NOT RESIGN. Anson TSL.

Flower Says There Will Be No Change in Management of B. R. T. Company. At the office of Flower Co.

Anson R. Flower, whjc is one of the leading directors of the Rapid Transit Company, said that there was not a word of truth in the report in regard to a change in the management of the road. Mr. Flower at first was not disposed to discuss the rumor, as he said that if he took the time to deny all that was circulated about the road and Its management, he would not have time to spare for anything eise. He finally decided to absolutely deny this rumor, to put an end once and for all to the reports that have been going around for a month to the' effect that President Rosslter was to sever his connection with the road.

"I have heard report many times before," Mr. Flowerfsigd, "but have paid no attention to it. Tout Bah say for me now, however, that there is not a word of truth in it. It is nothing more or less than another attempt to influence the stock of the company, and as such, should not be considered worthy of attention. "Mr.

Rosslter is a most valuable man and the directors and stockholders of the company owe much to him for his long, faithful and valuable service which is now beginning to show the good results expected. The statement that Mr. Rosslter's resignation is in the hands of the company Is absolutely false and entirely unwarranted. So far as I know he has no desire to leave the company, and I am sure the directors have every desire to see him remain and continue his good work." Henry Stebert, another director, who happened to be present at the time Mr. Flower made this statement, indorsed every word said, adding himself: "Talk of President Roseiter's leaving the road Is simply bosh and nonsense.

He le a most valuable man and there is no question about his remaining. "He has brought about large enconomies, besides improving the system, and his work Is not only appreciated by the road but very favorably commented upon by all railroad men who understand the situation in regard to Brooklyn railroad affairs. As a director can say that his resignation has not been placed before the board, and it would be deeply regretted if it were to be offered to us." C. D. Menealy.

secretary and treasurer of the company, said to day that so far aa he knew, there was absolutely no truth In the report. AN IMPORTANT POINT SETTLED. Methodist Missionary Conference Devotes Its Energies to a New Pronunciation of the Word "Philippine." The General Missionary Committee of the Methodist Episcopal Church resumed its session this morning In St. Paul's M. E.

Church, West End avenue and Eighty fifth street, Manhattan. The morning session was taken "I largely with the consideration of the proposed reduction of $25,000 in the money for the foreign missionary field. It was decided to make this reduction eo as to distribute it over the entire appropriation for home and foreign fields which 1b about Sl. 200,000. Of this latter sum the foreign field gets 57 per cent, or about the balance, or about 5463,658 goes to the home field.

There are five districts in the foreign field, namely Europe, South America and Mexico, Southern Asia, Eastern Asia and Africa. The committee appointed committees of five to take up each district and consider the question of apportioning the allowance for such territory. An adjournment was then taken until 2 P. M. or until such of the committees as are ready will make their report to the committee.

During the discussion of the morning, Bishop Cranoton of Portland, Oregon, spoke on the proposition of Including the Philippine Archipelago in the Eastern Asia district. He recently returned from Manila after Investigating the conditions there and was listened to with close attention. It was noticed that he pronounced Philippine with the accent on the last syllable and the I long, like In pine tree. "I see that Bishop Cranston, who is evidently posted, pronounced the name Philippine differently from most of us," said Dr. James M.

Buckley. "The usual pronunciation, I believe, la Phillpplon." "Oh, yes! I know," said Bishop Cranston; "that's the way the Romanists pronounced It. But we want to remove every vestige of Rome from those Islands and we might as well change the pronunciation of the name. I propose to say Phillp pyne." Many of the members of the committee applauded the sentiment. The incident was noteworthy as indicating the temper of tho committee with Its vast resources In the matter of proselyting In the Philippines.

The question of grouping the Archipelago was not definitely disposed of. DR. MclEAN CONVALESCENT. Dr. Henry C.

McLean of 140 Sixth avenue, a member of the Brooklyn School Board, who has been confined to his room for several days by illness, is reported as being better to day with prospects of a speedy recovery. If Not, President Nixon Declares, It Will Be the Fault of the Commission. CAUSES OF DELAY IN THE PAST. Legal Proceedings and Not City Administration's Course Have Retarded Progress. "If we do not complete the new East River bridge in two years it will be our fault," said President Nixon of the New East River Bridge Commission to day, speaking of the interview given out yesterday by Chief Engineer Buck regarding the completion of the structure.

Mr. Nixon said that the commission had not been delayed on account of the administration's neglect in providing money to carry it on, but that the principal delays were due to circumstances over which no one person haa control. "He thought the debt limit difficulty had delayed the work fully a year, while the delays over mandamus proceedings brought by various persons to restrain the Commission from nwardin? the contract had been productive of additional delay, amounting to about six months altogether. In his opinion, fully eighteen months had beeu lost to the Commission through causes which were outside of the control of the Commission and any particular official. Continuing Mr.

Nixon declared that now the Commission had sufficient money to carry out the contract, the bridge should be finished without failure within two years. Had not these delays arisen, the bridge would ha', been completed within the lifetime of the present administration. As it was, Mr. Nixon said, the New East River Bridge, a struc ture twice the capacity of the Brooklyn Bridge, would be built at a less cost than the Brooklyn Bridge. He considered that quite an achievement considering the fact that the property required for it was in many cases very costly.

The commission last week executed the contracts for the approaches, the last of the big contracts required for the bridge work. That of the cables was let a year ago to the Roeb ling Company and that contract is now well under way. Mr. Nixon wants it plainly understood that the Board of Estimate and other city officials had manifested a consistent and friendly interest in the work through its entire progress and that they regretted as well as the commission the unfortunate delays that have arisen. Mr.

Nixon explained in addition that these actual delays were greater than the period through which work had been held up on various contracts, on account of interruption to the continuity of the work. Valuable time had been lost In practically having to close down and start again. At the close of the interview Mr. Nixon repeated his former declaration that if the bridge was not finished in two years from now the people could blame the commission and that it would be its fault; but that for the accidents which had prevented as rapid progress as had been looked for. neither the commission nor city authorities were to be blamed.

The commission held its usual meeting this afternoon, but transacted only routine business. RAGINGl AT AQUEDUCT. (Special to the Eagle.)

COMMISSION IS HARMONIOUS. Favors More Power for Borough Presidents and Greater Removal Powers for Mayor. It was learned to day that a clash is likely to occur between Senator Thomas C. Piatt and the Charter Revision Commission over the proposed state constabulary or state police bill. The commlsslon.sat a great deal of pains and labor, has drawn up a new chapter on the police, providing for a single headed commission.

When it was announced that the Republican state leader proposed to have introduced and passed a bill taking the police out of the hands of the city authorities they were angry, and resolved to fight. As the matter now stands the commissioners are convinced that public opinion will prevent the passage of the proposed act. They think Piatt or at least Governor elect Odell will yield to It, and a majority of them, it is claimed, are confident that if passed it would be found unconstitutional by the courts. No Signs of Disagreement in the Commission. So far from there being disagreement over the general scheme of giving the boroughs more independence under the revised charter of Greater New York, it was said to day that the commission is practically agreed on that head.

"The boroughs are going to have as much governmental power, consistent with the scheme of consolidation, as the public conscience and necessity require," said one of the commissioners to day in commenting on the report that a majority and minority report would be submitted to the Governor. The report of the commission is due on December 1, but there is some doubt whether it can be made ready in time. It is possible that a preliminary report may be drawn up then, but the final revision of the charter will necessarily be delayed until nearly the time of the meeting of the Legislature. It has not yet been fully determined whether the final report will be in the shape of a new charter or as a series of amendments, but probably the latter course will be followed. The Important changes, it is said, are not so very numerous, but the changes in language made necessary by them will cause hundreds of substitutions.

The commission has been meeting in the Borough Hall, Brooklyn, every evening this week, and the work is now taking up nearly all the time of the members. All the committee reports are now in and printed, so that what remains to be done is to whip the work into shape. Next week all day sessions will probably begin. The formal announcement of the changes in the charter will not be made until the report is made to the Governor and the sessions are necessarily secret. More Power for Borough.

Presidents. It was ascertained to day, however, that borough authorities under the proposed instrument will have full administrative control of affairs within eaoh borough. The borough president becomes an officer of considerable power, and will have a seat in the Board of Estimate. He will also have control over the expenditure of money, but the administrative work will be performed by commissioners, to be elected by the people. These borough officials will be responsible to the people of the boroughs, but will be dependent on the city authorities for appropriations.

While there is a general agreement on the scheme of revision and no probability of a minority report, it is nevertheless true that differences have occurred on many questions. The divisions have not Included the same men on either side of any question which has come up for a vote; that is, there is no continuous minority standing together on a series of questions, least of all on borough powers. Greater Power of Removal for the Mayor and Single Head for Police. It has been finally determined that the Mayor shall have a term of four years and that he shall hove more actual power. His authority to remove commissioners will extend over his entire term, so that responsibility can be fixed by the people.

This was one of the disputed questions In the old commission. The Commissioners do not expect to see any state constabulary or police bill passed and wil report a police chapter with provision for a single headed commission, shall be appointed by the Mayor, and held strictly accountable to him for the acts of all members of the force. The Board of Elections has been reported and will be modeled on the plan of the borough board. It Is said that it has been found impossible to require the Mayor to recognize the recommendations of political parties, and that the organizations in this respect will be required to reiy on the good faith of the Mayor. An effort was made to insert provisions to prevent the abnormal increase of salaries, which has been practised to a considerable extent by Tammany Hall, but it was found impossible to bring about reductions In the budget without cutting into police, fire de partment and school teachers' salaries, so the matter is left as now to the Board of Estimate.

Chapter on Schools a Troublesome One. The chapter oa schools has not been put Into final shape, and has proved to be one of the most troublesome that the commission has had to deal with. The salary schedule question has been fought all over again. The Davis law has proved a great stumbling block. The attitude taken by the commission has been that vested rights should not be disturbed, but changes In the scheme of making promotions and Increases of salaries have been made.

Brooklyn is to retain its system of local committees, the Brooklyn cvmmis sioners having resisted the Influence toward centralization as far as possible, and no radical changes from the present system have been attempted. An effort has been made to relieve the charter of much unnecessary matter which In the original act was made necessary by the scheme of consolidation itself, now established. Not very much has been done in this direction, and the chances are that the new charter will be as large, if not larger, than the old one. TARRANT FIRE INVESTIGATION. Nothing Elicited to Indicate the Cause of the Explosion.

Fire Marshal Peter Seery held another session of tho Investigation into the Tarrant Co. lire and explosion. Louis Patterson, employed by that firm in Its seventh floor laboratory; Walter S. Craft and Frank Hermann, retail clerks, testified. Patterson told nothing now.

The others said all tho drugs and chemicals which thoy had handled came from John Allen and Will lam Mitchell, other employes.

London, November 15 The serious apprehension with which the announcement of the fact that the Czar was suffering from typhoid fever filled Europe emphasizes how much the peace of the world is believed to be depend ent upon him.

But for the statement con tained in the official bulletin that his ma jesty's malady is taking a thoroughly favorable course, the news of his illness would have created nothing less than consternation. It is generally felt at the present critical state of international affairs that even a tern The Czar. His Latest Photo, Owned by General Miles. porary weakening of the Influence of so favorable a factor In themaintenanceof the world's peace justifies grave anxiety, especially as the Czar is regarded in Europe as a kind of counterpoise to Emperor William. Public anxiety will, therefore, remain strained until the none too robust monarch recovers.

In political circles any other issue of his majesty's malady is regarded as a nightmare. Tho London newspapers comment on the Czar's illnes3 with peculiar sympathy. The Times remarks that it has always been believed in England that the Czar "reciprocated the national sentiment toward him and cherished real regard and reverence for our beloved Queen." The Times also says: "The Czar has exhibited consistent attachment to the cause of peace. It is hardly necessary to say that any event which will lead to a change in the occupant of the Russian throne, at the present anxious state in the Far East, might very gravely prejudice the situation."

UNIVERSAL REVIVAL NEEDED. Rev. R. A. Torroy Gives Bible Conference His Views on What Should Be Done.

The Rev. R. A. Torrey, superintendent of the Bible Institute, talked at the Bible Conference, held at the Hanson Place Baptist Church, this morning, on "The Need of a Universal Revival and How to Get It." A large audience assembled In the lecture room of the church to hear him. There was a large proportion of women among them, though there were a number of prominent clergymen present.

Including the Rev. Dr. John Humpstone, the Rev. Dr. R.

B. Hull, the Rev. Harry Pethie, the Rev. Thomas J. Whittaker, the Rev.

Dr. D. C. Hughes, the Rev. Mr.

McMurray, the Rev. Mr. Pennie, the Rev. R. H.

Baker, the Rev. Donaldson, the pastor of the Hanson Place Church, the Rev. A. C. Dixon, the Rev.

E. P. Marvin of Lockport, the Rev. Robert Cameron, the Rev. A.

P. Sullivan of the Fourth Baptist Church of Paterson, N. and a number of others. Mr. Torrey talked of the apparent growth of Infidelity, mistakenly called "intellectual agnosticism." He claimed that too often it went hand in hand with Immorality.

Divorces, he said, were too readily sought for and secured, while the parties, when remarried, were received in society again, as if they had done nothing wrong. This he thought was evidence of a disregard for Christ' religion. He dwelt on the growth of licentiousness due to the exhibitions on newspaper stands of questionable periodicals and through suggestive advertisements. Another evil was the greed for money. He said that now wars are fought and men are shot down that commerce might follow the flag, and men are taught that the doctrine of a full dinner pall mislead men into the idea that self was all in all.

The way to get a revival was by prayer. That was the way they always begun. He cited Jonathan Edwards, Charles E. Furney and Father Nash as examples in such work. Preachers should not be content with preaching.

They should get down to their people personally and convert them by individual effort. The right place to begin such a revival, he thought, was right here. A chance was given for those present to ask questions and the Rev. M. P.

Giffen of the Borough Park M. E. Church took exception to some parts of Mr. Torrey's address. He said that some so called heretics of their time had been great revivalists.

St. Paul was such a man and John Wesley was another. Each had startled the religionists of their time Into a right method of living. He objected to the half statement about the full dinner pall, for by it, he thought, friends would be lost. WANTS PERMANENT SEPARATION Mrs.

Price Tried Freedom for a and Now Wants It to Continue. Year Albertine Keating Price, some time ago, brought suit against her husband, William Richard Price, for a separation on the ground of cruel and Inhuman treatment and the case was tried before Justice Smith in Special Term, who dismissed the complaint, but granted a limited separation for a year, the husband not being compelled, by the terms of the decision, to pay for his wife's support during that time, as he had paid over to her Afterward Justice Smith refused, on application, to. make the decree for a permanent separation. Counsel for the plaintiff brought the suit for a permanent separation, on practically the same grounds as in the trial before Justice Smith, before Justice William J. Gaynor In the equity term of the Supreme Court.

Lawyer W. C. Beecher, for the defendant, said that he had claimed for the defendant that the plaintiff bad abandoned the defendant and that there was no denial of the plaintiff to this charge. Therefore, Mr. Beecher said, the defendant demanded judgment for separation on the counter claim.

Counsel for the plaintiff contended first that the counter claim did not need to be noticed and afterward asked permission to amend. His honor said that he could not try the case as it was before him and he dismissed the complaint, Mr. Beecher consenting, and the plaintiff will probably begin over again in the Special Term for motions. MUSIC TEACHERS SUE FOR PAY. Superintendent Mr xwell Refused to Sign Pay Rolls Because He Objected to Certificates.

Edward M. Shepard and Ira Leo Bamberger are preparing the papers In a suit which five music teachers are to bring against the Central Board of Education for the recovery of their salaries, which have been held up, it is alleged, by City Superintendent Maxwell because these teachers have not the license to teach which he claims the right to demand. The teachers in interest are Bernard O'Don nell, assigned to the Boys' High School; Charles S. Yerbury, Manual Training High School; William B. Goate, Boys' High School; Frederick M.

Davidson; Erasmus Hall High School, and Joseph A. Campbell, Commercial High School. These teachers were certified to on the payrolls for September and October at the same salaries formerly paid, but their pay was withheld lor the reason, as alleged, that they did not hold the license required for high school teaching. It is understood that no objection has been made to the amount of their pay, but to the qualifications of their certificates to teach. The musical branch of the Brooklyn school system, it is claimed by those controlling It, is subject only to the bylaws of the Brooklyn School Board, under the direction of the music committee.

Thin committee claims the right to assign music teachers, and the only evidence of qualification has been a certificate Issued by the School Board over the signature of the Director of Music. The same qualification existed before consolidation, and It is claimed that the charter confirmed that license. It is also claimed that the McCarren law still further vitalized these certificates. But Superintendent Maxwell claims that music teachers should be examined by him, the same as other teachers, and while he apparently does not object to these certificates when held by teachers In the primary and grammar grades, he hae signified his objection to their use In the high Bchools by withholding his approval of the payrolls. None of these teachers, however, devotes his entire time the high schools, but give about three fifths of his time to work In the elementary schools.

Without referring this question to the Corporation Counsel for an opinion, the five teachers named will bring suit against the Board of Education for the payment of their salaries.

47. Kr. Droge Failed to Get the Seat in Albany, So Friends Provided One Here. Nicholas Droge, who carried his 300 odd pounds gracefully through the campaign, in his race for Assembly in the Thirteenth Assembly District, on the Republican ticket, was worried by but one thing during his canvass. Because of his size he expressed fears to his friends that he would be unable to find a chair in the assembly chamber large enough to accommodate him.

His mind, however, was set at ease by some Republicans who had already served a terra at Albany. They promptly assured him that there was a chair of extra size known, as No. 47, in the Assembly Chamber, that had been manufactured especially for an assemblyman hailing from up the state, who, if anything, was even larger than he. But when the ballots were counted on election night It was found that Mr. Droge's opponent had won.

The Republican candidate took Uis defeat philosophically and chair No. 47 was forgotten. Last night Mr. Droge was much surprised when an ex Sressman delivered a huge arm chair at his ome, 10 Newell street. Stripped of its covering the first thing to meet the recipient's gaze was tho number "47." Mr.

Droge's friends and political supporters had determined that if he could not sit in No. 17 at Albany he might in Brooklyn. G. A. R.
