Judge, Harris G. Eames, STOCK BROKERS SUSPEND; C. COSTER A SUICIDE Failure of Coster, Knapp Company Announced on New York Stock Exchange. IS DUE TO OVERSPECULATION. Junior Member Who Killed Himself Last Night Had Been Using the Firm's Money.

Following the suicide of one of the members ofthe firm last night, the failure of Coster, Knapp members of the New York Stock Exchange, was announced this morning on the floor of the Exchange. The firm had offices at 66 Broadway, Manhattan. Charles Coster, junior member of the firm, ended his life last night at his home, 17 East Fifty-fifth street, Manhattan, by shooting himself. No cause was given last night for his act by his relatives and business associates. It was said then that he was enjoying excellent health and was prosperous in his business.

The cause of his act became known this morning. After a consultation of the members of the firm, it was finally decided to make a general assignment for the beneft of creditors. Attorney Louis Werner, of law Arm of Simpson, Werner Cardoza, 52 Broadway, was appointed assignee for the Arm. He lost no time in taking charge of the firm's affairs. Mr.

Werner, when asked to-day as to the cause of the failure, said: "Charles Coster been speculating with the firm's money." He declined to make any further comment at this time. P. M. Knapp, one, of the members of the firm, in speaking about the failure, said: "The cause of the firm having to suspend was undoubtedly overspeculation by Charles Coster. The loss for the most part will be borne by the members of the firm, which had only about a dozen customers, and was doing a very limited business." Immediately after the announcement of the suspension had been made, the following statement was given out at the firm's offices: "Owing to the death of Mr.

Coster and the consequent condition of the firm's affairs, it has been deemed advisable to make an assignment for the beneft of all creditors. This step is taken at the request of creditors, and Louis Werner, of the law firm of Simpson, Werner Cardoza, 52 Broadway, the assignee, has already started to straighten out the accounts so as to be position correct statement to all partiemake terested at the earliest day possible." The firm was organized in 1893 and the members were William B. Coster, John M. Knapp and Charles Coster. John M.

was the floor member, he becoming a member of the New York Stock Exchange on April 11, 1907. Prior to that time William B. Coster was the floor member, but he transferred his stock exchange seat to Mr. Knapp. At the offices of the firm It was said to-day that William B.

Coster is no longer a member of the firm. He is said to be in Europe for his health. Since that time W. B. Coster did but little business In the stock market.

For some time past he has been 11 ill health. Many years ago the Arm was known as Coster Brothers. At that time it did a large business on the Produce Exchange. Later the firm was reorganized under the firm name of Coster, Martin Co. This firm did business principally in Chicago, operating extensively in wheat and grain.

The firm secured much publicity about twenty years ago by attempting a bull corner in wheat against a syndicate headed by the Armour's, who at that time were conducting A bear campaign. For 4 time the firm of Coster, Martin Co. was successful, but later was forced to the wall. The failure was a most disastrous one, the Arm having lost about $4,000,000. After that the firm of Coster, Knapp wag formed, this firm confining its operations almost exclusively to the Stock Exchange.

When the United States Steel Corporation was formed and the services of a well-known operator were secured to handle the stock on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange the Arm of Coster, Knapp Co. was one of the firms which were used by this operator in his big task. During the early fall of 1906, immediately following the sudden upward rise in Union Pacific, following the increase in the dividend rate, both W. B. Coster and Charles Coster were said to have made about $750,000 jointly by the sudden rise in Union Pacific.

Charles Coster continued to operate in the market on a large scale. According to his friends he lost a fortune during the past year in the stock market. He had operated on the "short side" of the market and for several months past his operations have been unsuccessful. It is said that he lost a great deal of money in United States Steel and Union Pacific, being "short" of both these issues. There was bought in under the rule on the floor of the Stock Exchange to-day about 50,000 shares of stock including Reading, Union Pacific and U.

S. Steel, said to be for the account of the firm of Coster, Knapp Co. No estimate of the liabilities and assests of the firm could be secured this afternoon. TWO IRISH WOMEN DETAINED. Husband of Mrs.

Margaret Clary Died, of Poison the Police Say, After She Left Ireland. When the Cunard liner Campania reached Quarantine this morning and was met by the revenue cutter, Central Office detectives Moody, Leeson and Aikboarded the big vessel and detained man two young women, who were registered in the steerage as Margaret and Catharine McCormick, but who later admitted they were Mrs. Margaret Clary and Mrs. Catharine Bowen, both of Clare-Morris, County Mayo, Ireland. The detectives told the women simply that Mrs.

Margaret Clary's husband had died at home. in Clare-Morris, since they had sailed, and that they would be expected to give information concerning him. The detectives did not, however, show the women a cablegram sent a day or so ago by the chief of the Royal Irish Constabulary of Dublin, who averred that Clary had been polsoned. Mrs. Clary said her husband was A farmer, a cold, and when wag in she good left.

health, She claimed except ed that she had realized some property in Ireland, and came here with the idea of establishing a home. She said her mother and her husband were to have followed her. The women were taken to Ellis Island. IN MEMORIAM. -In loving memory of our beloved son and brother.

Kuhne With Warrant of Arrest. NO PROOF FROM PORTO RICO. Son of Wealthy Boston Family Held on Mere Telegram, Which Anybody Might Have Sent. There are more clouds hovering over the devoted head of August Kuhne, boss of the local headquarters detectives, who is wondering all the time it the courts will really send him to jail for that thirty days inflicted by Justice Burr, for taking a Jenkins picture for rogues gallery, in disobedience of the court's order. This morning Magistrate Frank E.

O'Reilly said things about Captain Kuhne and his methods in the new case of Paul D. Hawkins, the young Harvard who was arrested on the Coamo of man the Porto Rico line when it came in on Monday from San Juan, on a cablefrom Regis H. Post, the Porto gram Rican governor, saying that he was an embezzler. The story of Hawkins' arrest by Detectives Farrell and Devoy of the local detective staff Was published In the Eagle yesterday. When arrested the young man said that as far as he was able to say he stolen nothing from anybody.

He had it was true, the manager of the was, Electric Light and Power Company of Mayaguez, P. and that the hands of a receiver. He had resigned, to take effect on May 1, and finding that the steamer Coamo was leaving a day or two ahead of the new month he took that. and had paid himself his month's salary out of the company's assets. The salary was $125, but he admitted that he had not served the full time.

Hawkins is a member of a fine family in Boston, his home there is at 68 Westland avenue, he is engaged to be married to a young woman of Vermont, and he has four brothers who are Harvard men, too. And he declares that he has never done anything which would cause the least disquiet to the most Puritan of his folks. But bis picture is in the rogues' gallery in Brooklyn, and his Anger prints and measurements are there, too, and he has been treated like a criminal of the most common sort since he was arrested, for his clothing and his fishing rods and tackle and his money and keys and knife were confiscated, for the time being, by the police, all on a typewritten copy of a cable message which might have come for anybody. He feels raw about the rogues' gallery picture, and he protested against having it taken, but that did no good. It was the Kuhne mandate and he had to submit.

But that was only a midge in the mustard. There were bluebottle flies in it this morning when he was brought again to court. He had been bailed out yesterday and had his freedom for the time being, only to be rearrested again and locked up again, until his friends could scurry around and get more bail. The charge against him in the Adams street court yesterday was the only one that Complaint Clerk Donnelly thought he could make, and he believed that he was stretching a point for the police at that. It was bagrancy, and not a blessed soul among the detectives could swear that he was without a home and was a vagabond, because they bad known him only a hour or two.

But the oath was made and he was held, sure enough. Later in the afternoon Magistrate Dooley, sitting during the late session, took bail for him and the hearing was put over until May 6. But the police were not satisfied. They wanted him held as 8 fugitive from justice, and they were determined that he should be. The law requires that in order to hold a fugitive for another state there must be exemplifled copies of the original complaint against him, made in the place where the crime was committed.

It is not uncommon, though, in the case of hardened wretches, to stretch a point and forget the law, and hold on a telegraph. As soon as the young man got loose he was "pinched" again, this time by Detective Donlon, under orders, it is understood, of Captain Kuhne. He was held this time on the charge that he was 8 fugitive from Justice, and he got friends to secure bail for him a second time. But he was angry, and his lawyer. John L.

Wilkie, of Wall street, Manhattan, appeared for him when the case was called in court. "I want to protest against the outrageous motion of the police in this 41 said Mr. Wilkie. "This young man has done nothing, as far as I have been after able his to discharge learn. on But a in bond suite of before that, magistrate yesterday he WAS rearrested and locker up.

This was without warrant of any sort, and was a disgraceful outrage." "Who ordered his arrest?" asked Magistrate O'Reilly. Kuhne, I believe," said Mr. Wilkie. "Kuhne, Kuhne," repeated Magistrate O'Reilly, as if wondering where he had heard the name before. "Oh, yes," he returned, with a gleam of recollection.

"Kubne- Captain Kuhne--he is noted to be a law to himself." "But," said Detective Donlon, "He was acting under the advice of the district attorney." Magistrate O'Reilly said that made a difference and he directed that the district attorney be Almost notified to he have said some the in court. as words First Assistant District Attorney Elder came in, followed by Assistant District Attorney Peter Smith. The pair of them had the complaint of "fugitive from justice" drawn aut, and after a wait the man was rearraigned. There was more criticism of Kuhne and his methods then, and a threat was made to have Kuhne or some of his men arrested for assault. It came about in this way: Mr.

Wilkie was protesting most violently against the police having taken the man's property, two trunks, a suit case, his fishing rods, keys and money and a draft, and then he spoke of the outrageous act of photographing him for the rogues gallery. "That is illegal," blurted out Magistrate O'Reilly, in indignation. "It is a shameful abuse of justice. What right had they to drag this man to a photograph gallery and take his picture? I'll give a warrane for the arrest, on a charge of assault, of any man who did this." The lawyer and Hawkins were more anxious to get back the clothing and money the police took from the man, than to have anybody arrested at that particular minute. So the court gave Hawkins an order for his traps and cash, an order on the police to deliver them up at once.

Concerning the action of the accused in the matter of having anybody arrested there was nothing definitely determined. But Magistrate O'Reilly let the prisoner go in custody of his lawyer until he can get a friend to put up cash in the way of bail for his hearing on the new charge. It is likely that the complaint of vagrancy will be dismissed and it is probable that the new one, of being a fugitive from justice, will hold until more advices are received from Porto Rico. Hawkins admits that he eook ten days pay in excess of his service. "But, pshaw, what does that amount to?" asked Magistrate O'Rellly, when Assistant District Attorney Smith was vehemently declaring that.

higher bail than $500 should be exacted from the accused. CAR HIT TWO CHILDREN; BOTH ARE LIKELY TO DIE Raymond Savage, Aged Albert Green, Aged Have Broken Skulls. MOB ANGRY WITH MOTORMAN, But His Efforts to Help Victims Got Him a Cheer Later-Flatbush Tragedy. Threatened by an angry mob when the car he was in charge of ran down two children on Flatbush avenue and Midwood street, Flatbush, shortly before 10 o'clock this morning, John Creighton, the motorman, 24 years old, of 261 Clarkson street, turned their wrath into cheers when he lifted the children from the tracks and carried them to the sidewalk. Creighton was bowling his car, No.

1,261, of the Flatbush avenue line, along toward Manhattan when the accident happened. The two children, accompanied by a third, who escaped injury, were crossing the track. They did not notice the car until it was on top of them, and, despite the frantic efforts of the motorman to stop the car, he saw it throw the children into the air. Raymond Savage, aged 6, of 155 Midwood street, and Albert Green, 4 years old, of 127 Midwood street, were the lads who were injured, and they are now at the Kings County Hospital, where it is said that they can hardly live. Both have fractured skulls and other injuries.

A third boy, Frederick Memmott, aged 6, son of a teacher at Erasmus Hall, residing at 169 Midwood street, was with the two boys, but he managed to avoid being struck by jumping across the track before the car reached him. He was on the off side furthest away from the approaching car. Mr. Memmott was notifled at school that his child was one of boys injured, and he hastened to the hospital. He saw Dr.

Fitzgerald, who made arrangements for him to go into the operating room and identify his He was relieved to discover the mistake. He identified the two children who lay on the operating table and whose names had not been known. Late to-day it was said at the Kings County Hospital that the Savage boy had a fracture a at the base of the skull, while the scalp of young Green was badly lacerated and his skull fractured. The motorman was placed under arrest and was arraigned in th Flatbush court, charged with assault. He was held for an examination May 6.

One woman who was on the scene of the accident Agured prominently in an attempt to rescue the children. She wag a trifle late, but after the accident she assisted the motorman in carrying the boys into nearby houses. She is Lizzie Kindland, who is employed in the home of Dr. Raynor, at 597 Flatbush avnue. She was near her home when he car hove in sight, and she saw it running down the children.

She screamed to the children to stand still then she turned her head away. Miss Kindland ran to the spot and assisted Motorman Creighton in lifting the child from under the car. Then she carried the second lad, the Green boy, who was thrown to the side of the car tracks, Into a nearby house. Policeman Charles Orr of the Flatbush station was passing about this time, and he went to the scene. The crowd now began to assemble, and when they heard of the cause of the accident they turned in anger toward the motorman, who paid little attention to them.

directing all his efforts to trying to revive the unconscious children. One man began to talk about lynching the motorman, but Policeman Orr, turnIng toward the. motorman, declared that he was innocent of blame, and that they could better occupy themselves in trying to save the children, than lynching anyone. Creighton, with the little Savage boy in his arms was stanching the blood that flowed freely. The sight was a pathetic one and the crowd as it struck by the picture presented, gave a vehement cheer for the motorman.

Some one had summoned an ambulance, Orr called the reserves from the Flatbush station. Inspector Miles. O'Reilly, Captain John Dulfer and the reserves responded. Ambulance Surgeon Michaels arrived with police. He lost no time in conveving the boys to the ambulances nor in getting them to the hospital.

After the accident the Memmott boy ran away in fright. He had not arrived home at a late hour to-day. It was believed that some neighbor had taken him in charge until his excitement abated. His parents were frantic. SHOT OVER A GAME OF CARDS.

Donato Vaglino Was Wounded in the Breast During a Fight, and Will Probably Die. After a long standing argument over a game of cards, Vito Miglino and Donato Vaglino, 35 years old, of 149 Ridge street, Manhattan, met in the latter's home last night, and, to settle the matter, decided to play a game of cards. The affair wound up in a fight, in which Vaglino was shot in the breast and will probably die. He is in Gouverneur Hospital, and Miglino, who is 28 years old and lives at 542 Eighteenth street, Brooklyn, is a prisoner at Union Market station, charged with felonious assault. From what the police have been ahle to learn, the men have been at odds for several months over a game of cards which they played.

Each asserted that he was the winner and that the other man had cheated. They decided to settle the dispute for all time by another game of cards. But they could not agree to the stake. Miglino wanted to wager a box of cigars, while Vaglino wanted to put up a bottle of whisky. They commenced to quarrel, and backed out into the hallway, on the third floor.

Locked in a tight grip, the men were wrestling in the hall, and Vaglino, being the stronger of the two, backed Miglino against the balluster rail and bent him back over it. Then, according to Miglino, he drew a revolver from his pocket and fired at Vaglino to save himself.

MANY IN PRETTY UNIFORMS. From the Choir Gallery the Main Floor of the Big Cathedral Looked Like a Flower Garden. Children's day at the centennial celebration of the New York Catholic Diocese at St. Patrick's Cathedral in Manhattan, this morning, was one of the prettiest features of the great celebration. More than 6,500 children crowded into the Cathedral and heard festival mass.

All the pews were occupied a long time before the ceremony was begun. Children were standing in the aisles and on the steps of the various corridors at the side of thee hurch. The vestibules and space in the rear of the Cathedral were crowded to overflowing. From the choir gallery in the rear the scene resembled an Immense flower garden cause of the various colors of flowers and dresses worn by the children. The children ranged In ages from 5 to 14 years and were grouped from each of, the eighty-four parochial in re the arch-diocese, which includes Manhattan, Queens, the Bronx and Yonkers.

There are about 55,000 children in these schools and it is estimated that over 10 per cent. of them went to the Cathedral this morning. The largest crowd of children, perhaps, came from Mgr. Mooney's parish, the School of the Sacred Heart, In West Fifty-first street, Manhattan, where 2,700 pupils are enrolled. Other large crowds do came from the Old Cathedral School, the Cathedral Parish, School of the Immaculate Conception in East Fourteenth street, St.

Gabriel's School, at Sixth avenue and Washington street, and the Holy Cross School in West Forty-second street, Manhattan. A large crowd of little boys from St. Michael's school came in black uniforms with white decorations, and girls from the School of Our Lady of Lourdes and St. Joseph, in Harlem, wore white dresses and sailor caps. They are wore sashes of yellow and white, signifying the color's of the papal decoration.

An accident was narrowly averted at Forty-second street and Fifth avenue, when an omnibus carrying a crowd of children collided with a motor cab. The omnibus was drawn by ten white horses and was carrying about fifty children in charge of a number of sisters. Fifth avenuo is narrowed at this point by building operations. Frank Clark of 243 Devoe street, Brooklyn, was driving the omnibus and had just turned into Fifth avenue, when the motor cab, said to be owned by Clarence Whitman, and driven by Charles Field of 358 West Thirty-elghth street, approached at a rapid rate of speed. In trying to avoid a collision the driver of the motor car turned to one side and the front of his car struck the omnibus.

The children were badly frightened, but Do damage WAg done except that the front of the motor was broken. A woman in the car Jumped to the ground and hired another cab, in which she was driven to the Waldorf. Her name was not learned. Sisters in charge of the girls in the omnibus quieted them after considerable a diffculty. The services at St.

Patrick's Cathedral were in charge of the Right Rev. Thomas M. A. Burk, celebrant; assistant priest, the Right Rev. Mgr.

J. S. M. Lynch; deacon, the Rev. Thomas A.

Thornton; subdeacon, Joseph F. Smith, and sub-deacon, the Very Rev. J. R. Smith.

BABYLON HAS A FIREBUG. Two Barns in Fashionable Section of Town Burned at 2 A.M. (Special to the Eagle.) Babylon, L. April 29-Fire which broke out about 2 A.M. to-day destroyed the barns on the premises of Dr.

Harold E. Hewlett, on Fire Island avenue, and of Charles H. Udall, on Carll avenue. Dr. Hewlett's barn had Just been completed, and was empty, but that of Captain Udall contained some articles of household furniture, porch screens, chairs, which could not be removed.

The loss on the two buildings is placed at $1,400, partially covered by insurance. The Ares were clearly of incendiary origin, but no clew to the firebug has developed. A strange man is said to have aroused the Orr family, who occupy the a Miller cottage, near that of Captain Udall, and told them that the latter's barn was en fire, but who he was no one seems to know. The barns are in the fashionable resitential section of the town, and the blaze caused considerable excitement, particularly among the women residents. PEACEMAKER IN HARD LUCK.

Eslarnean was arrested on complaint of Mrs. Aida Payne of Grand avenue, Clarenceville, who charged that he had choked and struck her several days ago.

The testimony showed that Mrs. Payne's stepdaughter had left home on some account a few days previous to the alleged assault, and it was when Eslarnean went the Payne home to induce the woman to allow her daughter to return home again that Mrs. Payne set upon the peacemaker and beat him with a stick. Witnesses declared that Eslarnean did not strike or choke Mrs. Payne, and he was thereupon discharged.

FRESH WATER SPRING IMPERILS DAY DOCK 4 First Discovered This Morning Flowing 200 Gallons a Minute.

NEW CONTRACTOR IS SLOW. Hasn't Taken Possession of the Dock. Buildings at Navy Yard Are in Some Danger. Although Rear Admiral Caspar F. Goodrich, commandant of the Brooklyn Navy Yard, has received orders to turn over the site of the proposed new dry dock No.

4 to' the Williams Construction and Engineering Company, to whom the tract for finishing the dock has recently been let, to date no representative of the engineering company has put in an appearance at the Navy Yard to receive into his custody the big hole left by Contractor George Spearin when he threw up the job. Because of this delay on the part of the new contractor, Navy Yard officials are becoming uneasy, and their uneasiness is aggravated by the discovery this morning of a large, clear water spring that seems to be undermining the temporary shoring at the head of the dock. According to a man in charge of this big hole, this spring bubbles up more than 300 gallons of fresh water per minute. It is located directly at the base of the tem. porary shoring, composed of long steel plates rammed into the soll to keep the surrounding property from caving into the excavation.

These plates originally were in a vertical position, but they have gradually been forced out at the surface until now they are at an angle of about 60 degrees. It 18 said that unless something is done at once, there is danger of the sides of the dock caving In. If this happens, the foundations of nearby buildings will be seriously affected, especially those of the new central heating plant, which is situated directly across the street from the dock site. When the work of excavating the present hole was not very much advanced, it was noticed that the level of the street had sunk and that the outer foundation wall of the central heating plant had bulged out; but the wall was strengthened and shored up so that, up to the present time, it has not showed any indications of weakening, but how long will resist the pressure under the present undermining process 18 conjecture. Unless the contractors show at once that they intend to take hold of the work of Anishing the dock with the greatest dispatch possible, it is probable that the local authorities will recommend to the department that the new contract De abrogated and the work done by day labor, under 'the supervision of the department, because it is considered dangerous to allow the dock to remain in its present condition of Instability.

A sample of the water that is flowing into the hole from the newly discovered spring has been sent to the navy yard chemist for analysis. It is hoped by this analysis to discover whether the water is Mitered sea water or whether it comes from a subterranean supply of fresh water. It is said that the water does not have a brackish taste; yet it is conceded that it may be sea water that has lost its salt deposit through for the source of the spring is more than 100 feet from the shore line. The solids Miscovered in it by the navy yard chemist should determine its source, The entire site of the navy yard at one time was a swamp, which has gradually been filled in by dumping ashes and refuse. Large deposits of quick have been discovered in the past by those excavating for foundations, and the prediction has more than once been made that the site chosen for the new dry dock will prove impossible because of the presence of quicksand in it.

When George Spearin gave up his contract to build the dock, he gave as an excuse the dangerous character of the soil. TOWN BOARD RESTRAINED. Must Not Touch L. C. Tiffany's Concrete Walls Until Court Hears Argument.
