De Lisle Smith. PROPERTY DAMAGED BY L. Commissioners Award Rauch Estate Unit of Damage Established. A report was filed by the condemnation commissioners in the action of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company to condemn the easements of light, air aud access on the property at 47, 49 and 51 Broadway, Brooklyn, awarding to the estate of Adam Rauch, the owners of the property, damages of $3,000. This is the outcome of a bill in equity brought early in February of this year by Fullerton Wells for the estate of Adam Rauch to enjoin the operation of the Broadway elevated road.

At the request of the railroad company a stay of proceedingo was granted. pending its application for condemnation of the casements in question. Judge Kelly, of the Supreme Court, on February 10 appointed a commission, co.mprising James W. Ridgway, John F. Hylan and Stephen Noonan, to determine the merits of the matter.

The motion to confirm the report filed to-day will be argued on Saturday. This award, if confirined, will establish a new unit of damage valuation property injured by the Broadway elevated road. The present unit of settlement by the railroad company with property owners is made on a basis of $5 per square foot. This was fixed as a result of the award in the Dugan case, brought in 1892, in which the court fixed the loss at that figure. Later, however, on the appeal of the railroad company the Appellate Division set the verdict aside as excessive.

The company, nevertheless, continued to make its settlements on the basis of $5 a square foot. RAN AWAY IN A HUFF. Edward Mussler Was Thrashed--Now He Is Missing Special to the Eagle.) Jamaica, L.

DA. GLADDEN VEHEMENT AGAINST STANDARD OIL. No Church Alliance With "Oppressors and Despoilers of the People." BLUNDER WILL BE COSTLY.

Congregational Moderator's Statement Against the Rockefeller Contribution Scores His Company's Methods. Boston, April 27-Herbert W. Gleason, secretary of the committee of Congregationalist clergymen that has been opposing the acceptance by the American board of money from John D. Rockefeller, to-day made public a long statement, which Dr. Gladden, the moderator of the council of the Congregational Church, read yesterday before the protesting committee.

Dr. Gladden answered several of the declarations made by the prudential committee in behalf of the American board by repeating arguments previously made by him in interviews, particularly with reference to the contention the money should not be accepted because of Mr. Rockefeller's connection with the Standard Oil Company, which, Dr. Gladden said: "it is a matter of common knowledge, has frequently been convicted, sometimes out of its own mouth, of transgression of the laws of the land. "A judge of the United States District Court was quoted as having denounced the Standard Oil Company's system of rebate as 'gross, illegal and and "the discrimination complained of in this case' as being 'so wanton and oppressive that It could hardly have been accepted by an honest man having a due regard for the rights of Dr.

Gladden then reviewed at length the history of the Standard Oil Company in various states where, he said, there had been violations of the law and he asserted: "The company has played continually with stacked cards and loaded dice." company's system of rebates was condemned "abhorrent practice," and Dr. Gladden added: "There is nothing more startling or more ominous in American history than the fact that such a tremendous injustice has been permitted to go on year after year no interference by the government. this ovith, kind of extortion Mr. Rockefeller has the credit. of are being often the inventor." went on Dr.

Gladden. "why we single out this man (Mr. Rockefeller) for reprobation. If the answer has not already been given it is enough to say that we did not single him out; it was the prudential committee that singled him out by soliciting his donation. We object to his gift because it is now before us for judgment.

It is said that there are others from whom a gift would be equally objectionable. Even if that true, no gifts have been offered by these were, others, and it will be time to decide about them when they are offered. If we accept in our Christian work the alliance of the Standard Oil Company, we can refuse no other alliance with oppressors and despoilers of the people; to say that we will not testify against this iniquity because others are nearly or quite, as heinous, is practically to say that we will testify against no iniquity; that in the presence of all this wrong we will shut our eyes and seal our lips. It the church wishes to regard its hold upon the people who heard its Master gladly, it must keep itself free from such alliances as these. Failure here will be the costliest blunder the church has ever made." CHURCHES STOOD BY GLADDEN.

Columbus, 0., April 27-At a meeting of the Central Ohio Conference of Congregational Church a resolution was adopted, 13 to 6, indorsing the action of the Rev. Washington Gladden in opposing the acceptance of the Rockefeller gift by the American Board of Missions. MEADOWBANK ROBBED. Kendall Villa, Near Babylon, Entered by Thieves, Who Did Much Damage. Little Booty Secured.

(Special to the Eagle.) Babylon, L. April 27-The country seat of Mrs. Harriet Kendall, widow of William B. Kendall, of Brooklyn, on Oak Neck road. was broken into last night by professional burglars, it is believed, and the interior of the handsome villa was badly damaged and contents of chiffoniers, closets, tea were the strewn about the floor.

So far is known nothing was taken, but it is believed that the thieves must have got more or less booty. Mrs. Kendall closed the house last fall and returned to her city home, at 68 First place, Brooklyn. According to her custom she kept no one on the place nights, but left the property iu charge of a day caretaker. Every room in the house was bolted and locked, and the drawers of all the sideboards and closets were also locked.

The burglars, in consequence, had some difficulty in effecting an entrance from room to room. An attempt was first made to enter the front door, but this plan failed, and they gained an entrance through the cellar. An inspection of the house made by 8 number parties this morning revealed a chaotic state of affairs, resembling in some respects the work of vandals. The handsome mahogany sideboard was almost a wreck. all the drawers having been pried open, and a mahogany writing desk in the parlor met with a similar fate.

Other furniture was also bruised and marred. The robbery was discovered by Caretaker Kennedy, and he promptly notified the neighbors in the vicinity, Colonel A. E. Lamb, Mrs. Kendall's sonin-law, was informed of the robbery and is expected here to-day.

It is said that Mrs. Kendall followed the policy of other wealthy summer residents, and did not leave any plate in the house. A carriage house on the place was destroyed by fire early in the spring. WATCHING AUTOMOBILISTS. Speed Law Violations Will Not Be Tolerated at Long Island City.

I. STRIKE SPREADS IN CHICAGO. Biggest Wholesale Dry Goods Houses Are Victims of the Persistent Teamsters. Chicago, April 27-The teameters strike, which hitherto has affected less than one hundred men and has been confined to a boycott of Montgomery Ward spread to-day to the wholesale retail houses of Marshall Field and Carson, Pirie, Scott and to the wholesale house of the J. V.

Farwell Company. Strike pickets, with orders to prevent the handling of any goods by non-union men, were placed about the stables, stores and warehouses of the firms named. As a result of the spreading of the strike forty-five heavy trucks and forty city de- livery wagons were kept behind locked doors In Field's so barn. At the Careon, Pirie, Scott barns also the doors were kept closed, the reason assigned being to prevent pickets learning what preparations were being made. Drivers for the railway express companies refused to-day to haul or deliver goods to the firms against which teameters had struck.

One hundred and ninety drivers of the A. M. Forbes Cartage Company struck to-day. The strike of the Forbes men bad the effect of interfering partly or wholly with the teaming of sixty other firms for whom the Forbes Company furnished wagons, ROYAL INVITATIONS FEW. But Princes Will Be Welcomed at Wedding of Crown Prince.

The municipality of Berlin has decided to spend about $33,000 in decorating the streets through which the crown prince and his bride will enter the city. Several hundreds of young women dressed in white and bearing bouquets of roses will meet the latter inside the Brandenburg gate.

THOUGHT HE WAS A BETTOR. Charles King, of Manhattan, Arrested on Suspicion by L. I. City Police. A young man, describing himself as of 221 West Twenty-first street, Manhattan, was arrested yesterday afternoon in Otten's saloon, at 5 Vernon avenue, Long Island City, on suspicion of making bets o11 races.

The arrest was made by Detectives Pendergast and Kennedy, of the Hunters Point precinct. They a said that the prisoner had a racing chart and $40 in money on a table in front of him and that he was writing on slips of paper. Kings was arraigned before Magistrate Connorton and paroled for examination. HEALTH FAILED; DEATH BY GAS. Despondent because his health would no longer permit him to work at his trade, that of tailor, is believed to have caused Isaac Laibman, 32 years old, to kill himself, in the bathroom of his home, at 46 Cherry street, Manhattan, sometime during last night.

The man's body was found this morning. Death was caused by illuminating gas, which Laibman had inhaled through a rubber tube. 4 MORE POLICY ARRESTS: 2 WOMEN ARE PRISONERS. Up to Date Grand Jury Has Bagged 7 and Only "Steve" O'Brien Is Out on Bail. MORE ACTIVITY THREATENED.

May Inquisitors Will Take Up the Hunt--One of 0'Brien's Old Bonds Almost Forfeited. Four new arrests and two cases of indicted policy men on the calendar for trial in the criminal branch of the County Court this morning gave pretty good evidence that Judge Aspinall, District Attorney Clarke and the have dipped pretty deep into an investigation of policy conditions in this borough the judge gave his now famous talk to the Grand Jury about ago. It also indicated that the investigation nad not yet been completed, for, in some quarters, there appears a confidence that the "men higher up" not yet in the toils will be "reached" through the indictments already secured. The A April Grand Jury makes its final presentment to -morrow morning and will then be discharged by Judge Aspinall. On Monday morning, however, a new Grand Jury will be selected and Judge Crane, who sits in the criminal term during May, will, it is under- stood, pase along the investigation to them.

The quartet arraigned this morning indictments charging them with policy lations were arrested by Detectives Cohen and Mallon, of Inspector Weigand's staff, and A the wiseacres see in this a "going over" Police Captain Joe Hayes' head that they think significant. When they were brought into court, being two men and two women, and all four rather dilapidated in appearance, the quartet did not create much of an impression until their names were called, and it was shown for what they had been indieted. They were Lizzie Wolf, of 204 Scholes street; John Snyder, of 312 Stagg street, and Fred and Elizabeth Mohr, of 165 Boerum street. The corridor of the County Court House this morning appeared to be the attraction for a large number of all sorts and conditions of men. They kept a sharp eye on the Grand Jury room, with an occasional look at District Attorney's office and Judge Aspinall's chambers.

When Judge Aspinall disappeared, there was an immediate exodus from the corridor, and the court room, where the policy cases are heard, rapidly filled up. When the two men and two women were brought in from the pen, there was much stretching of necks. four pleaded not guilty and were immediately held in $5,000 bail each. As neither Rapp nor Rouch, arrested yesterday in connection with the Vandervoort place indictment, could furnish the required bail and the quartet arraigned to-day did not, there is now quite a colony of accused "poke" players in Raymond Street Jail. So far O'Brien, the first to be arrested, is the only one out on bail.

It will be remembered that "Steve" O'Brien before he was arrested said that he was a professional bondsman, or words to that effect, and this morning in the County Court, following the arraignment of the four, his being on a bond came pretty near costing him some money. When the quartet had been sent to jail the regular calendar was taken up by Judge Aspinall, and Assistant District Attorney Elder moved the case of Thomas E. Clark, indicted as a policy player, for trial. There was no response by Clark when his name was called and Judge Aspinall ordered his bond forfeited. "Steve" O'Brien was the bondsman.

There was quite a little confusion out in the corridor following Judge Aspinall's action, but finally Clark made his appearence and, by a hair, saved O'Brien the sum of $1,000, the amount of the bond. After Clark had failed to respond to his name Lawyer Ralph Jacob, who appeared for him, asked that the court grant an adjournment until 2 o'clock. "No." said Judge Aspinall, "this man is an active agent of O'Brien, who is now under indictment as a backer of the policy game and I understand that O'Brein is also on his bond. If that is so I cannot allow this bond to continue and you will have to furnish a new bond or your man will go to jail. This court cannot accept a bond from a man under indictment." "This man was served yesterday with a notice to be in court at 10 o'clock this morning and there is no excuse for his not being here," said Mr.

Elder. "Bring me the bail bond," said Judge Aspinall. Mr. Elder sent a messenger to the district attorney's office and Mr. Clarke brought back the required bond.

O'Brien was the surety and just about as the court was to formally declare it forfeited Clark, the missing man, was hustled into court. Then there was a conference between the judge and district attorney, after which the court said that for reasons best known to the court and Mr. Clarke the case of Clark and the other man, Thomas Rooney, could go over until Monday, but he increased the bail to $2.000 in each case and the men were sent to jail until they could get sureties. $17,000 FOR INJURED WOMAN. Jury Awards Heavy Verdict in Annie Driscoll's Damage Suit Against B.

H. R. R. Co. Suffering from a grave condition of hysterio-epilepsy since she was injured, Mrs.

Annie Driscoll, a dressmaker, of 887 Myrtle avenue, this morning received as a partial compensation for the injuries that caused the condition the sum of $17,000 from a jury in the Supreme Court before Justice Wilmot M. Smith. The defendant was the Brooklyn Heights Railroad Company. The action was tried Tuesday and yesterday and it appeared by the evidence that on the afternoon of August 18, 1908, Mrs. Driscoll was a passenger in an open car of the Tompkins avenue line.

While the car was proceeding down Broadway and nearing the ferry it ran into another car, throwing Mra. Driscoll from her seat. She received a severe blow upon the lower end of her spine, which rendered her unconscious. She since been under the care of, physicians. Through Morris Whitehouse the railroad company for damages for the injuries resulting from the accident, the most important of which, it was claimed, was grave condition of hysteria known as en On the first day of the trial, after several witnesses had been examined, Mr.

Whitehouse called Mrs. Driscoll to the witness stand. She arose from her seat, made one or two steps in the direction of the witness stand and suddenly fell with a scream to the floor of the court room in convulsions. Doctors worked over her for more than an hour before she was restored to consciousness. The defendant's contention that while she was suffering with hysteria, was due was, to some internal troubles not attributable to the accident in question.

Much expert medical testimony was taken on either side, including that of Dr. Chase and Dr. Cecil Coy, in behalf of the plaintiff, and that of Drs. Herman C. Riggs, Frances P.

Beebee and Arthur C. Brush, in behalf of the defendant. Mr. Whitehouse produced a number of people who had known Mrs. Driscoll intimately for years and who testified that she was a strong, healthy woman up to the time she met with the accident.

During the summing up of counsel Mrs. Driscoll was again seized with convulsions and was taken from the court room in care of her physicians. MONEY FOR MILITIA DRILLS. Albany, April 26-The Wainwright bill, providing for the payment of 25 cents to each national guardsman for every drill attended, was passed by the Assembly I OUTLOOK IS POOR NOW FOR RAINES' BILL PASSING Held Up in Senate by Author, Who Objects to Assembly's Amendments. WANTS IT TO SUIT CITY CLUB.

Governor Determined Bill Shall Become a Law by May 1, and May Send In Emergency Message. (Special to the Eagle.) Albany, April: 27-When the Raines hotel bill came over from the Assembly to-day with amendments which makes it apply not only to hotels over 35 feet high, which in 1896 were required to be fireproof, but also compels an inspection of buildings less than 35 feet in height, Senator Raines moved to nonconcur and that a conference committee be appointed. This is the latest move to delay the bill so that it will not go Into effect this year or before May 1, when! liquor tax certificates are renewed. It is said that about three of the certificates have already been issued, and that the bill cannot possibly go into effect by May 1. The appointment of a conference committee means several days delay, and there are only three days of April left.

There are etrange rumors that the liquor interests which are now violating the law have been bringing every influence to bear to defeat the bill. It is said a big fund has been placed in charge of a reliable man, who seems to have done his work effectively. The fake hotels will be allowed to run for another year, and cannot be stopped. Once a license is issued, it is held to be a contract between the holder thereof and the etate. Senator Raines, in explaining his opposition 1 to the amendments, said: "I am opposed to the Assembly amendments because I desire to have the bill in the form desired by the City Club.

The amendment requires an inspection as to whether hotels, not fireproof, comply with the hotel provisions of the law. It is said to be a physical impossibility to make that inspection within the time required, and this would result in holding up licenses. On the other hand, the provisions ag to fireproof hotels would not require an inspection. The superintendent of buildings has all the records office concerning such Chairman Plank, of the Assembly committee on excise, declared the amendments were all in the original bill as introduced by Senator Raines. a hearing before our committee." he said, "it was pointed out by several speakers that many of the worst dives were in buildings not 35 feet high and not required to be fireproof.

This is true of many of the places on the Bowery. I do not understand the grounds for Senator Raines' opposition." The fact that the bill as passed in the state, and would take in disreputable places Assembly is made to apply to the whole in Albany and other cities up the state, is said to be one reason why it is being opposed in the Senate. The amendments require certificates from local authorities as to whether buildings comply with the local building laws and the general provisions of the liquor law has scared some of the upstate politicians. Governor Higgins seems to think that all that is necessary is to get the bill through before May 1, so that it may apply to 11- censes granted this year. He said to-day that if it were necessary he would give an emergency message to pass the bill.

AN IRON PIPE CLOSED QUARREL. Frank Bruthkoski, 31 years old, a Polish laborer, living at Barren Island, was Arraigned before Magistrate Naumer in the Flatbush police court to-day, charged by John Mochin, 25 years old, another Polish laborer, also residing on Barren Island, with assault.

FISHER, Secretary. FRANKLIN SCHENCK, Assistant Secretary. GIBBONS' HAPPY FAMILY. Daughter Admits Throwing Things at Father, Who, She Says, Calls Her Names-Brother Blackened Eyes. Michael Gibbons of 205 Vanderbilt street, Windsor Terrace, in the Flatbush police court to-day told Magistrate Naumer that his daughter, Jane, was continually abusing him.

Two months ago, he said, she threw a dishwhich struck her mother, cutting her pan, head. She threw knives and dishes at both himself and his son. She kept the house in a continual uproar for the past six or seven years, he said, and added that he would stand the persecution no longer. Jane admitted having thrown the dishpan and said that it was meant for her brother, who had blackened her eyes. She said she remained in the house to nurse her mother, who is an invalid, and while she was attending to the wants of her mother her father kept calling her vile names.

She said that any of her neighbors could attest to her good character. She wanted her father be arrested for the names he had called her. Magistrate Naumer refused to give Jane a warrant and advised her father to take her back until she could get a position. If she threw any more things at any one in the house he would give a warrant for her arrest. MANY FALSE ALARMS.
