Tbe threatened Invasion of Richmond Hill, In Queens Borough, by a moving picture and slot machine establishment has been put down by the landlord of the store in which the show was to be run, who alleges that the premises were sub let to the' moving picture man without permission. The matter now has re solved Itself into a possible lawsuit. Frank Llbschik, a Richmond HUI busi ness man. was to have been the pro prtetor' of the show, which was to have been conducted at 3202 Jamaica avenue. The building is owned by Flushing parties, who are represented oy a jocai real estate dealer.

It appears that the store in question was originally leased for three yars to a baker, who later sublet it to v. Griffin, a realty dealer, who In turn sub leased It to another real estate man, who turned It over to Llbschik. The latter paid a month's rent, and spent, he says, fully $1,500 In getting the place ready for his show. All this time, It Is said, the owner knew nothing of the matter. As soon as he found out, he promptly objected to the operating of the show on the ground that he had given on authority for subletting the store.

Apparently the owner Is unwilling to lease the place to a moving picture concern. The matter has been placed in the hands of a lawyer by Mr. Llbschik, who Is considering a suit to recover the money: spent in fixing up the place. Is said, that he Is seeking another loca tlon for, his show. BOMBACH FOR THE BENCH.

Political Interests In Queens Borough are centered in tbe action of Mayor Mc Clellan in filling tbe two vacant police court Judgeships, which will come with the first of the new year. Magistrates Edmund J. Healy and Luke J. Connorton are the two who will retire from official life unless they are reappointed by tho Mayor. The term of the position is for ten years and It is considered a very fat ulum.

Tbe only avowed candidate for one of the places In tbe borough, so tar as ru mors go In political circles, Is John Bom-bach of Middle Village, a close friend of Borough President Bermel. Mr. Bombach is a lawyer and served for Borne montns as an assistant attorney under District Attorney Ira G. Darrin of Queens County. It is stated that Mr.

Bombach is slated for the police court bench, but which one of the places he. will get is yet an open questton. Rumor says that he will succeed Magistrate Healy and that Magistrate Connorton is sure of reappointment. It may turn out just tho opposite. Next Thursday Is the date set by Queens Bor ough politicians for Mayor Mcciellan to annottneo both appointments.

The First Assembly Democratic -com mittee met in Its headquarters in Smithsonian Hall, Long Island City, last night and unanimously indorsed Magistrate Connorton for another term. That is the first public Indorsement for Judge Connorton from any public body in the borough. Several organizations of women have adopted resolutions opposing his reappointment for various reasons.

STOLE MR. SHEPARD'S COATS Shapiro, a Negro, Accused of Many Bobberies in Heights Section. The police of the Adams street station were gratified this morning over the arrest of Frank Shapiro, a negro, of 78 Lawrence street, who is alleged to have been guilty of over a score of petty robberies In the Heights districts In the last week or two. No less than forty-four pawntickets were found in the man's possession and he confessed that much of the property represented by them had been stolen. There bad been a number of robberies in the district In the past month or so, and they were all of a kind In their devising and execution.

In each case the man got In by forcing a basement door and he never ascended very far. but took whatever he could lay his hands on in the basement and in the parlor halls. One of the thefts that stirred the po lice was at the residence of E. M. Sbep- ard, at 44 Plerrepont street.

The well known lawyer and statesman lost three of bis top coat, worth, maybe, $200, which were subsequently recovered by Detectives Peter McCormlck and Frederick Lynch of the headquarters squad, In pawnshops in the neighborhood of Bor ough Hall. There was no question about the identity of the garments, for Mr. Shepard's name and the date of their delivery were still on the coats. The police got from the pawnbrokers a pretty good description of tbe man who had pledged them and they started to look for Shapiro. Detectives Elwood and Rush fell in with the man yesterday and arrested him- With him at the time was Frank Reed, a white man, who said that he lived at 65 Sands street, but who is not known there.

He was arrested, too, and was held on a charge of vagrancy, although he claims that he knows nothing at all about Shapiro's doings. The police expect to have a number of complaints against Shapiro before they get through with him. This afternoon the officers started off to try to recover some of the other property he had stolen. In the meantime Magistrate Tlghe held tho pair for further hearing. WENT AWAY WITH JEWELRY, But Sister Forgave Brother When He Promised to Quit Drink- Mrs.

Edna Lyon of 593 Franklin avenue made what the police call a "squeal" at the Flushing avenue precinct yesterday, to the effect that about $500 of her jew elry had disappeared from her apartments and that she bad a notion that hei brother, Charles Hardenbergh, whose home is in Buffalo, might be found with the jewelry in his possession. Charles, she explained, had been visiting her, and they had had a fine time together. Her arm hurt, and he had been painting It with iodine, when be took advantage of the opportunity to get her rings and other articles of her Jewelry. While she was reporting the supposed robbery, Charles was pawning some of the articles in a shop on Myrtle avenue, near Washington street. He went there on Thursday and left a solitaire ring and some other articles, on which he had received $75, and yesterday he returned with more.

It was while he was there that Detective Brosnan of the Adams street station went Into the pawnshop and arrested him. It was plain that Charles had been drinking, and he admitted that the property was his sister's, but he denied that he had stolen It. He was held for vagrancy by Magistrate Tlghe, late yesterday afternoon, and thlB morning his sister was in court to forgive him. She is an actress, and Is at present resting from a laborious autumn engagement. She was overjoyed to hear that her property was safe In the pawnshop, and that some of It, with over $60 In cash, had been found in her brother's possession.

She told Magistrate Tighe that she did not mean to make a complaint against him, and Charles was discharged. She got him to promise that ho would not drink any more rum. VERDICTS AGAINST I. R. R.

TWO BLOCKS 1JELOW CITY HALL. J-7 I ON THE BRIGHTON LINE But Passengers Will Still Have to Carry Identification Checks. CAUSE OF DELAY STILL EXISTS New System, In Effect To-morrow, In. volves Collection of Slips by Trainmen. Changes the method of collecting fares on the Brighton Beach line of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit, so long looked forward to by patrons of this line, will be Inaugurated shortly after 8 o'clock to.

morrow morning. With the exception of a few stations south of Sheepshead Bay, ticket aeents will be installed and the passengers will pay their fares at the station. Following is 4 statement concerning the change, given out- at the offices of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit to-day: "Beginning "to-morrow morning, all fares on the Brighton line at stations north of Neptune avenue will be collected by ticket agents In -stations, as is the practice in the regular, elevated; stations of Brooklyn Rapid Transit lines. This marks almost the final step In the Com pletlon of the important reconstruction of the Brighton line. "Second fare points and the zone fare arrangements remain unchanged tn any detail.

On southbound trains collectors will board the cars at Kings Highway and collect either a second cash fare or an Identification check, such as Is given by the ticket agents to all persons boarding southbound trains at stations south of and including Prospect Park to Kings Highway. On northbound trains the trainmen will collect second cash fares or Identification slips after leaving Prospect Park. These slips will be issued by agents at all stations between Kings Highway and Prospect Park Inclusive. "Fares on trains south of Neptune avenue will be collected by special collectors who will board trains for this purpose. "It is expected that the new system after a few days trial will work to the satisfaction of the company and passengers alike." The changes will not work one relief long looked forward to by the passengers on the Brighton Beach line, however.

Patrons of tbe road have objected to tbe system of Issuing identification checks, which meant that the passage of the train would later be delayed while these Identification slips were collected. In fact they chafe morning after morning at the delays just south of tbe Park place station while trainmen go through drowded cars and attempt to collect a fare or an identification check from every passenger in each car. Many have anticipated relief in the Improved method to be Installed with completion of the new stations south of Prospect Park. On the southbound trains, operating toward Coney Island, the trainmen will make no collection. Passengers boarding the trains within the 5 cent fare zones will receive an Identification check.

These, with the second fares, which are cash fares, will be taken up by special collectors, who will board the train at Kings Highway. Special collectors will also collect the fares on trains bound for the city between Coney Island and Sheepshead Bay, where the first paying station will be Installed. Perhaps the most radical feature of tbe system will be that hereafter the trainmen will handle no money. PATCHQGUE GIRL MISSING. No Trace Found of Rebecca Sukar- man, Who Left Home on November 1.

WTSSNER HOLIDAY PISPLAY. The large Wissner salesrooms at 538-540 Fulton street are filled with' an assortment of pianos and player-pianos, but they are going very fast and prospective purchasers would do well to Make a selection as early in the month as possible. The popularity ot the Wissner instruments has made, business, very lively with this house, even now during the present depression.

The playor-plano that is' turned out by this house la nelline so rapidly that it taxes the producing -capacity the Wissner fac-; tory to meet tne demand promptly, the demand is continually Increasing. New and valuable improvements recently added to these instruments give them many advantages over other player-pinos on tho market, and. add very much to the pleasure and. satisfaction of their use.

a 38 on Young Man, Who Worked in a German Bank Till It Failed, Then Came Here. WAS WAITER AND BARTENDER. Left Two Trunks Full of Good Clothes at Hotel on Beard Street. May Be on Some Steamer. The disapearance ot Hugo von -Hachling, a young German, 22 years old, who came to New York last July and who was last seen, by any of his friends here at the International Hotel, 44 and 46 Beard street, this borough, is a source of considerable worry to a Manhattan friend, who has asked the Eagle to publish the fact that he Is missing.

The young man comes of a good family in Faderborn, Germany. He left his native country for America after a quarrel with his father, but if he can be located. it is said the family differences will be speedily adjusted. The missing nun speaks English, French, German and a little Spanish and Dutch. He was inter ested in a bank in Germany, which failed, and this was one of his chief reasons tor coming to this country to Boek his fortune here.

He failed to find employment similar to what he had had in Germany and was compelled to take a position as waiter at no international Hotel In Brooklvn. He worked there for about a month and then left for Boston on a steamer, where he worked as a waiter and bartender. He was In Boston for about two months and returned to Brooklyn the latter part of October. He had left his clothes at ths International Hotel while in Boston. He was unable to secure bis old position In the hotel and after staying there for two or three days left suddenly without giving any information.

He sent an expressman for his baggage, but it was not known at the hotel where it was taken nor could the proprietor remember the expressman. lie had no money and did not seem have any prospect of a position. At the hotel, it was not thought that he had committed suicide as be did not seem to be of that temperament. He had a fine lot of clothes and was the owner of two grips and a large trunk, which were filled with good wearing apparel. He was described as a gentlemanly fellow, but very reserved and talked little about his affairs.

He received practically no mall and during his stay at the International Hotel did not receive any foreign mall. his friend in Manhattan states that Von Hachling was supposed to have found employment upon one of the steamers plying between here and Savannah, but no trace, of him could be found and the officials of this line do not recall man at his in scription as having worked for them. Hi tan, sugnt and has light hair and blue eyes. He has, an unusually prominent Roman nose. The last time he was seen he wore a blue suit and a derbv hat.

There Is no trace of him in police circles nor at the hospitals. Information nnn- cernlng Von Hachilng's whereabouts, if ent to the EaEle. will transmit! ad to his friends. RECREANT CARETAKER CAUGHT Missing Manhasset Han Located In Manhattan Will Be Brought Back for Arraignment. to the EdgleJ r.

Characterizing the statements made by the receiver of the Brooklyn Bank, Bruyn Hasbrouck, and his attorney. Dep uty Attorney General Dolson, as wildly erroneous, Charles M.

Stafford, counsel to the depositors, declared to-day that he prepared to show In black and white that the bank Is absolutely solvent. Mr. Stafford stated also there Is every reason to believe the directors and Cock-holders of the Brooklyn Bank will make full restitution of all the assets and col lateral hypothecated by them. That will enable the bank finally to pay every de positor 100 cents on the dollar and let out every director and stockholder, aad will still leave "money to burn." us he put it. Emulating the example of the Borough Bank depositors.

the committee of Brooklyn Bank depositors will make every effort to get a local man with a good reputation as receiver, In the event of the court ordering that the receivership be made permanent. Receiver Hasbrouck was severely crit icised by Mr. Stafford for his tactics In evading his promise to give the deposit ors a full and clear statement of the ex act-conditions that prevail In the suspended institution. 'The receiver verbal statement mat the bank iB utterly insolvent and will pay only 50 cents on the dollar is wildly erroneous, he said. Why.

oniy me night before last we got the informatljn we have sought for some time and wltain few days next Thursday we must go before the court and show why the re ceivership should not be made permanent. If we had been given this lniortnauou wo weeks ago. to-day we wouiu nave been In a position where we could de mand the abolition of tbe temporary receivership; we would have had our plans so far developed that we would be ready now to go on with our case. "Part of the receiver's statement to me was verbal and part In writing," said Mr. Stafford, In answer to a question.

The list of assets and liabilities mr. Hasbrouck very thoughtfully put in writing, but he did not commit himself In any such way as to the qualities of tho and collateral. What se curities were considered by him good and hlch nneK he considered worthless or below book value and the reasons why he arrived at those conclusions he told to us verbally. Rut. vou can take it from me tnat nis figures are wild they are erroneous, to say the least.

The Idea of those hay- oeds coming down from up tne state, here the conditions are as dinercnt irom lira here as nieht from day, and try ing to do a banking business witn oinor people's money. It is a plain absurdity, otbing more. Jt cannot uuue mi; more than a hayseed lawyer from up the state can come down here ana practice In tho courts in a metropolitan city with a proper realization and apprecia tion of tho conditions. It couian De uouo any more than a lawyer from hero can Invade the rural districts, practice before country judges and make the same Impression as the country barrister. "Nor can the country Judge have a thoroughly adequate comprehension of the situation that exists here In all it varied phases and intricacies.

We have seen right here in our courts that country Judges are not the most desirable to transact our business. "That Is why the present situation is to be regretted. Why can't we have a good local man, with a high reputation, for receiver of the Brooklyn Bank, if the receivership must bo made permanent? We could get. I am sure, one of our many well known Brooklyn men to act as receiver for practically no compensation beyond the payment of his legitimate exoenses in handling the affairs of the bank. Tho depositors who should legally and morally and in everyother way be given first consideration, would then get more of their own money than otherwise.

"I am confident, too. that the directors of the International Trust Company will make restitution. They will turn over to the Brooklyn Bank every penny of the cash, collateral or securities or assets which they took out of it under the supposed merger. Then the depositors will get 100 cents on the dollar, the directors and shareholders will be let out and there still will be money to burn. We want restitution and I have assurances from a most reliable source that we will get restitution full and complete restitution.

"I might say that the International Trust Company also Is perfectly solvent, swuiormnre. It has a good, clean surplus of something like $500,000, notwithstand ing what other people may say to tne rontrarv. It seems to me now, that a friendly home receiver is the happiest so lution of the problem, tn view oi an of the situation. The Borough Bank depositors have adopted that plan, and I think It would be the very best thing that could happen to that institution." Brooklyn League May Act. The Brooklyn League has taken an Interest in the banking situation In Brooklyn.

Many thousands of depositors are affected by It and tho officials of the league will consider a plan for bringing the Influence of that organization to beat on the authorities in behalf tho depositors and the community In general. A meeting of the executive committee has been called for Tuesday evening at thn hpadntiartcrs of the league in the Temple Bar Building, and the men on the committee will probably lane some action with a view to doing everything In the league's power to help the depositors out of their predicament. The idea at present Is merely tentative. It was brought forward by a member of the executive committee, who Is of the opinion that tbe league, representing Brooklyn, should oppose with all Us Btrength the making permanent of the receiverships of the local banking institutions. if It bo decided to lend the influence of the organization to the cause of the people whose money is tied up with the receivers, counsel will probably be sent to Kingston on Thursday to argue before Justice Betts, with the other lawyers, the lnadvisability of leaving local banks and trust companies in the bands of the receivers now in charge.

Borough Bank Depositors to Meet. Plans are rapidly going ahead for the meeting of depositors of the Borough Bank at which every person with an account in that Institution will be entitled to vote for eight men who will serve as directors with seven In the present board who will be continued. This meeting will be held at the Columbia Theater Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock. It was erroneously reported In some quarters that the meeting would be held in the evening. Directors Are to Meet.

The directors of the International Trust Company and Brooklyn Bank will hold a meeting at the Clarendon Hotel to-morrow afternoon, when the question of restitution will probably be discussed. The stockholders of tTTe' Brooklyn Bank will meet in Manhattan on Monday morning. The depositors committee, hesded by Charles M. Higgin3, will hold a private conference to-night, the result of which will probably be a request to some well kDown Brooklynite to serve as permanent receiver..
