IS NOT CONCERNED, DECLARE ITS OFFICIALS. Woodend Transaction Was an Affair of Mr. Hendrickson's, Says a Merchants Director. BANK AWAITS DEVELOPMENTS. Chairman Stutz of the Finance Committee Says Brower Did Not Act for the Bank.

The directors of the Merchants Bank of Brooklyn have decided to wait until some action is brought in the courts before they make any statement or take any proceeding concerning the transaction Woodend" involved the bank's name with the defunct brokerage firm. The whole affair is placed upon the shoulders of former President Hendrickson by certain officials of the bank. Mr. Hendrickson, whose resignation from the bank two weeks ago, was followed shortly by his arrest. in a civil proceeding, has denied all knowledge of the transaction with Woodend.

Mr. Hendrickson's intimate friend, Charles de Hart Brower, however, established before United States Commissioner Hitchcock the fact that Woodend Co. had sold the 100 shares of Sugar. Ernest Stutz, chairman of the finance committee of the Merchants Bank-the committee that directs all the financial dealings of the bank--declared to-day that the Merchants Bank never did one dollar's business with Woodend Co. This assertion was qualified by the statement that the finance committee never directed any business with Woodend or had knowledge of such business.

One director said that the bank didn't know just what its connection and responsibility were in the matter of the Woodend account. cHe said the directors had -never authorized President Hendrickson to realize on Mr. Shannon's collateral and had never ized him to do any business with Woodend. The question with the bink is whether or not it is responsible for losses incurred in any transaction with the Woodend brokerage concern that might have been carried out by an officer of the bank, without the authorIty of the bank directors or the finance committee. "'It 1S an affair between Mr.

Hendrickson and Mr. said one of the directors who stands high in the direction of the bank's affairs. "The bank has absolutely nothing to do with it that I can see. We don't. know.

what arrangement there was by which Mr. Hendrickson could realize upon Mr. Shannon's collateral." Chairman Stutz also declared that it was pot a bank affair. He said that it was a matter the directors and the finance com mittee had not known of until after it was over. thing is cortain," said Mr.

Stutz, bank never employed Mr. Brower to recover securities or to take any action for us in this matter. He was not acting for the bank, no matter what he says. He may have been acting as Mr. Hendrickson's perwe had had el claim against Woodend Co.

sonal counsel, but not as counsel. we would have put it in the hands of our regular counsel, Jones, McKinney It is ridiculous to think for a moment 5that as bank like the Merchants Bank would have done business through a house like Woodend Co. Blair Co. is regular broker and there are several big firms where we can do business when we want it done, don't have to resort to houses of the Woodend type. Our bank was never in better condition.

We are doing the biggest business in our history. For instance, we have taken in $110,000 in deposits this morning and have had only $30,000 drawn out. We will not make any statement in this matter until the time comes. That time will not come until there is a proceeding that. will put the case on record." YOUNG MEN HELD AS BURGLARS.

NO FUNERAL ON THE SIDEWALK. Sombre-Looking Coffin and Casket Were Intended to Serve at Secret Society's Initiation. It looked, last evening, to passersby on Washington street as though there was goto be a funeral on the sidewalk. From appearances the funeral was to be rather informal. The corpse was conveyed to the scene in an old-fashioned coffin, by means of a grocer's wagon.

There might have! been two corpses, for all any one knew, there was an up-to-date casket beside the coffin. About 9:30 o'clock a grocer's wagon, bearing the name H. G. Meyer, of Marcy avenue and Hart street, containing a coffin, a casket and two fat German boys, Hanz and Fritz, drove up to the curb in front of 315 Washington street. Hanz cautiously peeped out from the driver's seat and, after a whispered consultation with Fritz, who was in the rear of the wagon, jumped to the ground.

Going to the rear of the wagon he lifted the curtain and, with considerable difficulty, deposited an evidently heavy coffin upon the sidewalk. A casket, somewhat lighter than the coffin, followed, and Hanz and Fritz, evidently thinking they had done their duty, jumped into the wagon and drove swiftly up the street. A newsboy, pausing in his cry of "Ten o'clock wuxtry!" gazed curiously at the sombre looking boxes for a moment and raising his voice called across the street, "Hey, Chuck, dere's goin' ter be a stiff picnic an' de stiffs has come." This announcement quickly drew a crowd of newsboys to the scene. The newsboys were followed by a larger crowd of the curious. It was not long before a crowd of 500 or 600 persons was gathered in Washington street, obstructing traffic.

The crowd remained questioningly about the coffins for ten minutes and was finally dispersed by the police. Meanwhile four candidates for initiation into the dark mysteries of a secret organization, which meets in a hall at 315 Washington street, were wondering what it that was delaying matters. Passersby halted on the sidewalk and some suggested boxes. The policeman on the breaking open the black -suggesting just about to telephone to headquarters for instructions, when a belated member of the were street secret carried society assumed up its arrived, stairs, usual and and quiet soon 10 the Washington o'clock coffins aspect: COCK FIGHT ARRESTS. Five Brooklyn Men Caught by Captain Ruthenburg at Richmond Hill With Bird in a Bag.

Ruthenburg of detectives Hill precinct, the aid of two arrested five men to-day on Jamaica avenue, near Napier avenue, on suspicion of being about to start a cock fight at Shettler's saloon in Welling street.

"JUST A MISTAKE," NEGRO SAID. But Court Holds Him as Tight as Mrs. Barhydt Did, and Compliments the Woman. When a man, acting suspiciously, walks, unbidden, into the home of Mrs. J.

A. Barhydt, he can expect to get a warm reception from a plucky woman, who will not only demand an immediate explanation, but will in all probability detain and turn him over to the police, a prisoner. This is the opinion of a negro who was captured yesterday by Mrs. Barhydt in her home and of many of her neighbors who turned out in foree when they heard that she had tackled a strange man in her diningroom and captured him single-handed. The prisoner declares that he is not a bad man at all, and that 1 his getting into the house, where he was arrested, was all a mistake on his part.

Nevertheless, he is locked up in the Raymond Street Jail, while the police are trying to look up his record. Mrs. Barhydt lives in the modern threestory and basement brick house at 116 Decatur street. She was alone with her daughter, busy about her household duties on the first floor of the. house, yesterday, when her attention was attracted by: the barking of a pet pug named Bijou.

The pug is old and feeble and was supposed to have outgrown his usefulness long ago. To-day he wears a blue, ribbon around his neck and nothing is too good for him. It was the barking of the dog which eaused the discovery of a stranger in the front basement hall. When Mrs. Barhydt left the dining room to she saw the form of a man standing behind the stairs investigates leading to the floor above.

She believed that he was about to ascend when she called out: "Where are you going, sir?" The negro, well dressed and bright in appearance, started for the door, then stopped, coughed and finally said: "I beg your pardon, madam, I'm looking for my sister. Mrs. Williams." "Well you go about the matter in a very strange way, sir, and I wish to tell you right now that your sister is not here and has not been here." The negro seemed about to depart without further explanation: Mrs. Barhydt did not propose that he should. In a moment she had hold of his coat and was calling to her daughter, a young woman of about 18, to go for a policeman.

The negro made 110 resistance, but his captor never for a moment released her hold on his coat. Miss Barhydt, once out on the street, let it be known that a policeman was wanted in her home, and wanted immediately. People living in neighboring houses soon began to turn out to learn the cause of the trouble. Patrolman Frederick Lynch of the Gates avenue station house, who was on patrol on Throop avenue, started on' a run for the Decatur street house and when he got there he found Mrs. Barhydt clinging to the negro's coat tails, though the black was as docile as a fawn.

Officer Lynch took charge of the stranger and took him to the station house, where Mrs. Barhydt appeared soon after his arrival and lodged a complaint against the negro, who said he was Henry Jackson, 26 years old, and that he had no home in this city. Later he said he had come from Asheville, in February last and that he had been out of employment for than three months. Jackson was one of the best dressed prisoners who appeared in the Gates avenue court to-day. He repeated his story of yesterday to the effect that he had gone into the Barhydt home in a search for his sister.

He said he had found the iron gate leading into the area open. Mrs. Barhydt said she was sure the gate was not open and added that it could be opened by a person putting a hand over the stop and pushing back the catch. Nothing was disturbed in the house. Jackson was accused of having attempted larceny.

He pleaded not guilty and was held in $500 bail for examination on June 8. Magistrate Furlong told Offeer Lynch to try and learn something about the prisoner and complimented Mrs. Barhydt for her courage in tackling a stranger found in her home. FREED ON BIGAMY CHARGE. Two Women Had Stirred Up Police to Arrest Rogers, but One Backed Out.

Henry Rogers, 51 years old, of 251 Harrison street, was arraigned in the Butler street court this morning charged with bigamy by Emla Rogers, 222 Lynch street, and Mary Rogers, 251 Harrison street, alleged to be wives Nos. 1 and 2 respectively. Mary did not appear against Rogers and he was discharged. The Harrison street wife was married to Rogers in July, 1901. She lived with him and his two sons, 18 and 20 years old respectively.

For some time Rogers has been away from home a good share of the time as late as 1 and 2 in the morning. Mrs. Rogers began to suspect that all was not well and was in a receptive state of mind when a friend informed her that her spouse was the husband of another woman who had prior claims to the title of wife. She called on the other woman. Together they went to the Butler street station.

Devanny sent the women to the district attorney's office for advice. The county officer told them to act as directed by the captain of the Butler street station. Detectives Roberts and Clare were ASsigned to the case and it was arranged that the women should confront Rogers. Rogers is a tally clerk at the foot of Columbia street. Clare went down to see bin and called him out on the pretence that he had an important matter to consider with him.

The women were near at hand to identify him. The failure to hold the man does not end the case against him, wife No. 1 says. She declared she was married to the man in her sister's home where she now lives by 1 Jewish rabbi. For some months she has been employed by a clothing house in this borough situated on Broadway.

The second wife told the police she was married in St. Thomas Aquinas R. C. Church, corner of Ninth street and Fourth avenue. Rogers represented himself to be a Roman Catholic, whereas he is a Jew, Mary says.

Adelphi Street Italian Colony Celebrating To-day. Led by two bands playing church hymns, Italian patriotic airs and rag-time melodies in indiscriminate succession, about one hundred members of the Adelphi street Italian colony paraded to-day in honor of St. Rel, whose feast is being celebrated. sotue time they marched up and down the block bounded by Atlantic avenue and Fulton street and then left for another part of the city to serenade their countrymen. The archangel's regular feast day is May but the sons of sunny Italy would not fail to celebrate a holiday just because they didn't have money enough when it came around.

The subway strike has left most Italians short of cash and it required cial effort to collect enough money for the decorations and festivities that have been in order since yesterday morning. The illuminations last evening were re very effective and attracted a large crowd of interested onlookers The two bands gave a concert and everybody had a good time. The block on Adelphi street, where the celebration is being held, is thickly populated with negroes. Pickaninnies, "mammys" and creole belles seem to take the same delight in honoring the saint as the most devout Italians. This morning many of them were in evidence and some even trailed along in the possession.

The paraders will return this afternoon and the fun will grow more fast and furious toward evening. To-night there will be more parades and illuminations. A display of fireworks will furnish a fitting finale. J. DIMARIA UNDER $7,500 BAIL.

Charged With Stabbing Mrs. Frank Marra, Shooting at Her Husband and Pointing Gun at Policeman Meehan. Joseph Dimaria, an Italian, aged 33 years, of 2580 Atlantic avenue, arraigned before Magistrate Furlong of East New York on three charges of assault, was held for exmination under $7,500 bail. Dimaria was required to furnish $500 bail for an alleged stabbing of Mrs. Frank Mara, who resided in the same house with him; $5,000 for an alleged discharging of a gun at Frank Mara, the woman's husband, aged 52 years, and $2,000 for an alleged pointing of a gun at Policeman 'Gilbert Meehan of Brownsville station, with a threat of shooting the officer.

Mara said that at 7:30 o'clock last night he heard his wife down in the back yard crying out "Help!" He rushed down the stairs, where he saw Dimaria jabbing a knife into his wife's arm. He says he shouted to the man to stop, when Dimaria raised gun he had near him and discharged it at Mara, but missed his intended victim. In the neighborhood uproar that ensued, Patrolman Meehan made his appearance, and tho' officer says that the man, thoroughly crazed at that time, raised his gun and was about to shoot at him, when Meehan quickly whipped out his revolver and said to Dimaria: "If you don't drop that gun I will blow the top of your head off." The gun was dropped and Dimaria was quickly put handcuffs and marched up to the police station. CONEY ISLAND BOYS UNHURT. Wild Tale of Fractured Skull From Falling Plaster Made Out of Whole Cloth.

Principal Perrine of Public School No. 100, on West Third street, near Sheepshead Bay road, Coney Island, denied this morning that any his pupils were injured yesterday afternoon by falling plaster in the school, occasioned by the firing of heavy guns on the government proving grounds at Sandy Hook. Several of the morning papers printed a story that two boys were injured, one of them sustaining a dep "essed fracture of the skull, which necessitated his being attended by an ambulance surgeon and removal to the Emergency Hospital, where it was said he would not recover. There was no record at the police station or at the Emergency Hospital of any boy being treated for a depressed fracture of the skull or of any other serious injury. Mr.

Perrine said: "There was a part of the plaster that fell, but no one was injured in any way whatever. I can give you the names of every boy who was present and not one will say there were any fatalities. There was no panic nor any disorder. Stories such as were printed this morning are injurious and will frighten both pupils and parents." RIDGEFIELD PARK CELEBRATES. Board of Trade of That Town Gives Its First Annual Dinner.

Unexpected Again Happens, Wilcox Leading Pyne at End of Eighteen Holes. ST. PAUL'S STUDENT 4 UP. Metropolitan Handicap Special Feature of the Day--Early Cards. Score of Morning Pound.

Wilcox, de Pyne, ON 10 Pyne, tO 10 90 Wilcox, 1a C1 5 10 86 (Special to the Eagle.) Garden City, L. May 28-Metropolitan golfers have the finest day of the season for the ending of their sixth annual tournament on the Garden City Club links. The weather is perfect, sun, temperature and breeze being ideal. The best figures of the meet should easily be made. About twice as large a gallery is on hand as on previous days, and there was an outpouring for the special event of the day, the 36 hole medal play Metropolitan handicap.

Finals at 36 holes are on for the championship, second, third and consolation cups. The past two days have been so full of surprises that no one is quite sure of anything. Still it seems almost certain that Percy R. Pyne 2d, collegiate champion three years ago, will win the championship title. Harold Wilcox of Montclair, his competitor, is only a golfer in pinfeathers, being hardly out of knickerbockers, and, according to the experts, is altogether too young to stand up well under the strain of thirty-six holes.

Still, so great have been the surprises of the week, there is a possibility that he will carry off the plum. Should he do so, his school fellows at St. Paul's will turn the town upside down to-night. 'Pyne has been playing but little since he left Princeton and not until the more prominent players had been put out was he seriously thought of as the victor. For the second cup the chances are about even between J.

A. Janin, Fox Hills, and 0. Woodward, Marine and Field. For the third cup it is a toss up between Grenville Kana, Tuxedo, and G. B.

Cooksey. Findlay Douglas, Nassau, present title holder, should win the consolation cup handily enough from E. S. Knapp, Westbrook. Early scores returned in the handicap follow: George H.

A small caddy was directly under it, being pinned to the ground and stunned by the force. The board fell at such an angle, however, that none of his bones were broken. The wind blew the board over yesterday. Grenville Kane will doubtless win the third cup, as he was 7 up on G. Cooksey on the first round of 18 holes.

The unexpected happened again this morning, Wilcox beating Pyne, 4 up, on the first eighteen holes. Still the crowd thinks Pyne will carry off the title this afternoon. The championship match had hardly begun when the wind began to rise, as for the three days previous. Wilcox got off rather clumsily and lost the first hole, but squared the match at the end of the third. He also lost the fifth and sixth holes, but was square again at the eighth, which situation continued to the eleventh hole, when Wilcox forged ahead.

Then, after two halved holes, the St. Paul's boy got the fourteenth, fifteenth and seventeenth, the sixteenth being halved. This left Wilcox 4 up at the eighteenth tee and that was the ending for the last was halved in 4, both over-playing the green in their desire to avoid the pond. Second cup-Janin beat Woodward, 1 up. Consoation cup--Douglass beat Knapp, 3 up.

WRIGHT ON MATRIMONY. Didn't Ask His Children's Permission to Marry Their Mother; He Won't Seek It Now. The Eagle has received a letter from Samuel Wright of 123 St. Felix street, whose approaching marriage to Mrs. Maria Creevey was announced yesterday.

Mr. Wright is 74 years old and his intended wife about twenty years his junior. In his letter he says: "Without admitting or denying my intentions, I may say that the protests of my married children have not been so numerous nor 'vigorous' that public attention should have been called to them. did not ask their permission to marry their mother, and I recognize necessity for so doing should I decide to fill the vacant position with any suitable person. If there are any who think 'The Old Man' SO far gone in his dotage as to be incompetent to manage his private affairs and judiciously distribute his few nickels, they should secure a commission in lunacy and lose no time in doing so, as, according to the Eagle article, the time 1or knot tying is close at hand.

I did not set out to laud Mrs. Creevey, but another good woman, with whom she has long been associated in charitable work, has called her an angel. If her estimate of her character is correct, the man who has secured or who may secure her consent to a union so sacred a8 that implied in matrimony may congratulate himself with the prospect of living in paradise for a while before crossing the Jordan." LOOKS BRIGHT FOR MC CARREN. Political Situation Is All Right, the Senator Says--McMahon's Movements. "There is little to be said," answered Senator McCarren, when questioned about the Democratic situation this morning.

"Every morning shows that over -night some district delegation has met and indorsed the stand taken by the assembly district leader at the Cafe Imperial conference on Sunday, The situation could not be better." The latest indorsement comes from the First Assembly District. The delegates met at 350 Atlantic avenue last evening, and indorsed McCarren, Judge Parker and Brooklyn autonomy. The action was unanimous. A conference of the anti-McCarren leaders, which ran well into the late afternoon, was held at Mr. Doyle's headquarters in the Temple Bar Building to-day.

Mr. Doyle, Senator Coffey, ex-Controller Coler, Thomas R. Farrell and a couple of Assembly district leaders were present, but at the close Mr. Doyle said that nothing that could be given out for publication had been done. Counselor Grattan McMahon, who raised a.

high old rumpus in the Twenty-first Assembly District by speaking at Judge Furlorg'a club, is scheduled to address the club again on Memorial Day, Mr. Sinnott, the regular leader of the district, objected to Mr. McMahon's presence at an ciub, and the two men had a lively Interopposition cbange of pleasantries in front of the court house a couple of days ago. Mr. McMahon's new invasion of East New York, if it occurs again on Monday, is likely to attract more attention from Sinnott's followers than the counselor's first appearance did.
