CHURCH CAN RESUME JOURNEY. MISCELLANEOUS-, OBITUARY. MAYOR WITH Mini FOR AN INSPIRING HOUR FRANK HULL'S 0L0 GAME TIB Oil CHURCH FOLKS RED CROSS SOCIETY GUARDS IIS EMBLEM Continued From Page 1. sons may Indulge freely In the use of the emblem It will fall Into disrepute, and that in time of war it will not be held sacred as the nations have bound themselves to hold it. At first, hospital authorities were disposed to resent this view of the society, but they have come to recognize a certain amount of validity to the claim.

Before the organization of the Red Cross Society, red crosses and crosses of all colors had been common as far back as beginning of history. The society was organized at a conference of nations held In Geneva, Switzerland, 1864. The United States was busy with lis Civil War and was represented. At Geneva conference of 186 4it was decided that. In order to lessen the horrors of war and permit civilians to go on the battlefield without being mistaken for spies, some sort of symbol should be adopted to designate the members of the Red Cross Society, which at that time was not named.

Inasmuch as Switzerland was the smallest of the nations represented and the one least likely to become Involved In war, and In addition had been the one to call the convention together, It was proposed that the flag of Switzerland be used as a symbol for tne Kert Cross societies of all the nations. The Swiss flag was a white Greek cross on a red field. Naturally, the Swiss didn't want to give away their national nag, so there was a transposition of color, and the symbol as adopted was a red Greek cross on a white field. From this cross the society derived Its name. When the Cross Had to Give Way to the Crescent.

The Red Cross did great work In several wars, but In the first war between Russia and Turkey, after the organization of the society, the red cross symbol bad to be abandoned Ignomlnlously and a crescent substituted as the society emblem. The Turks would have none of the cross, which they regarded with bitter religious prejudice, nnd It was not until the crescent was substituted that the Red Cross nurses were permitted to travel with the Turkish army or were given immunity from attack by the Turks. The Red Cross Society's emblem is the simplest form of crosa known to man. It consists of two benms of equal size and length, forming a rectangular cross, the two pieces bisecting each other in the center. Technically this Is known as the Greek cross, which differs from the Latin cross In that the cross piece Is only half way up the upright, while on the other cross the cross beam Is nearer the ton and is of shorter length than the upright.

Originally the flag of St. George, which Is uow part of the Union Jack of Great Britain, was just what the red cross em blem Is to-day. The red Greek cross Is still on the British flag, but It combines with the cross of St Patrick and the cross of St. Andrew in such a way that it can hardly be mistaken for a Red Cross Society flag. The Red Cross Society has suggested to hospital authorities in this country that they use on their ambulances a St.

Andrews or St. Patrick's painted green. They object to a St. Patrick's cross In its proper color of red, for It is too much like the cross of St. George, although It Is set differently on its field of white.

HUGGED FOR FIFTY DOLLARS. Lewis Failed to Prosecute Girl, However, and She Was Discharged. May Silver, 23 years old, who hails from West Fifteenth street, Coney Island, was arrested yesterday on complaint of William Lewis of 245 East Thirty-third street, Manhattan, who charged her with grand larceny.

Carew. Dead Trees in Its Path to Be Cut Down. The trustees of Trinity Methodist church. Long Island City, received a permit from the Department of Parks this morning to move their edifice, which has been sold to an Italian Methodist congregation, and is to be moved to a new site a mile away. The moving was neid up owing to a aispute as to the treatment of several dead trees alone the route.

The department finally gave consent that the dead trees could cut down. be FOOT WAS UNDER CAR WHEELS Peter Cunningham, IK years old. of 91 Sumpter street, a. motorman employed by the B. R.

slipped while alighting from a Halsey street car at Saratoga avenue yesterday and one foot was run over by the rear wheels. He was at tended by Dr. Max Lehman, of the Bush Hosnltal and removed to that In stitutlon. To-day it was said that he would probably lose his foot. BIG A.

S. HORSE PARADE. Two Hundred and Twenty-five Wagons and Trucks In Procession, but 100 Others at Work. What an enormous proposition a big. first class department store really is was demonstrated on Brooklynites rather impressive to-day.

by the parade of most of the delivery wagons of Abraham and Straus. And folks who give small orders and have them sent to their suburban homes, maybe miles from the slore, got a good idea of what an enormous amount pf money the firm spends, just to be obliging. Thern were iust 225 wagons in line, and the procession furnished a really excellent display of horseflesh. The horses used by the Abraham and Straus delivery department are considerable above the average delivery horse. The horses, wagons and trucks represent in themselves a good-sized fortune, and the wages of the drivers and helpers, the feeding, housing and care of the horses and wagons furnish another item of expense that would stagger even a racing association.

It took almost an hour for tne pro cession to pass a given point, ana tne traffic squad policemen at Montague and Court streets, where it swung around the corner, got almost dizzy, trying to keep tabs on the number of vehicles. People along the line of parade took a keen interest In it about as much as they do in a circus parade, and It took just about four times as long to pass. Headed by a platoon of mounted police, the procession started at 9 o'clock this morning, at Cumberland street and Wil- loughby avenue, and proceeded through Cumberland street to Lafayette avenue, to Bedford avenue, to Dean street, to Underbill avenue, to Prospect Park Plaza, to Carroll street, to Sixth avenue, to St. Mark's avenue, to Fourth avenue, to Dean treet, to Henry street, to Montague street, to Court street, to Livingston street, and then to Nevins street, where the procession disbanded. After the mounted police came the light wagons used by the distributing department, and then came about 175 one-horse delivery wagons, those that ere familiar to all Brooklynites.

After that came the two-horse furrlture trucks, and then the big covered wagons In which parcels by tho thousand are carried to the various distributing stations In the outlying sections. The four-horse open trucks brought up the rear. Not all the A. S. wagons were In the parade, however, for almost a hundred were at work this morning delivering orders of the early Monday morning rush.

BROKE ARM PLAYING TENNIS. Benjamin Frank Norris Injured on Grounds of Country House of "Crescent Athletic Club. While playing tennis on the gjounds of the country house of the Crescent Athletic Club at Bay Ridge yesterday afternoon, Benjamin Frank Norris. a lawyer, of 215 Montague street, broke both bones of his left arm close to the wrist. It Is a severe fracture and will cripple Mr.

Norris for several weeks. Mr. Norris was playing in doubles when the accident happened. The game was on one of the dirt courts, which are marked by lines of white tape instead of lime as the turf courtB are marked. In receiving a swift volley from Frederick Pearsall.

Mr. Norris ran backward, and his heel caught in the line tape. He fell backward and as he fell, threw his left arm behind him. His hand doubled under his body and both bones of the arm above the wrist were snapped like pipe stems. Mr.

Norris was taken Into a dressing room of the club house and given emer gency treatment while his friends scurried around for a physician. They found Dr. Connor and Dr. Brush. Unfortunately, the surgical bag of the club had been taken to Baltimore along with the lacrosse team that was playing the Mt.

Washington team, but club employees found bandages and other necessary articles. Splints were improvised and the broken arm was set. Mr. Norris was carried to his home In the Chatelaine apartments by Fred House in the lat-ter's automobile. FIREMEN LICKED POLICEMEN.

In fall bottttj and split LOST A JOB, SHOT HIMSELF Yet This Man Owned House and Had Cash in the Bank. Carhart Died Instantly Curious Shock From Notice of Discharge.

When told that the position he had held for fifteen years would have to be glvea up, because of hard times, Daniel B. Carhart, 49 years old, of 830 Jefferson ave- uuoi ouiiiuycu as an expert macmnisi oy; John P. Fanning of 678 Jefferson avenue. shot himself through the heart this morning and died instantly. Carhart was married and had several children, all living with his sister in a pretty little house on Jefferson avenue.

The man had evidently saved money during hiB years of employment, for the house, which it is said he owns, is in an excellent neighborhood. He was taken ill recently, his sister declared to-day. and was compelled to stay away tronl work for a while, something he had never done before. it nun uu leiui utru ncvcittt uaye ugu nothing was said about his having tc leave. This morning he went to work as usual in the machine shop, working' side by side with an old companion, William Fogler.

He had been working about thirty minutes, when the boss senc for him, receiving blm In his private office. Carhart returned a few minutes later, and, according to Fogler. looked decidedly blue. The man said nothing, however, but appeared to be thinking over the matter. Gradually, says Fogler, a frown appeared on his face, and, leaving his work, he stepped to another part of the shop.

Suddenly there was the sound of a shot, followed by tho fall of a body. Fneler and neveral others rushed to the room wnence tne noise nan come ana almost stumbled over the body of -hart, lying on tho floor, a smoking re- volver near by. A nurry cau was sent, ui ina nuaanitu Hospital, to which Ambulance Surgeon Halnprin rpsnnnded. HalDerin made a hasty examination, pronouncing the man dead. The bullet, of .38 caliber, had pierced the heart directly in the center passed through and emergea on me otner side.

He must have died instantly, tha surgeons declare. Mrs. Carhart lies prostrated to-day and could not be seen when a reporter called. His sister, however, declared that her brother had been ill, and tnis, wun ni sudden discharge, had probably brought, unnn fit. of desnondency.

The thought of being out. of work, she siilH Vind npver occurred to him. WhV ha should have taken it so seriously sha could not understand, as he had money laid away, enough to carry them over, and could easily have secured another position. "It is probable," said sr.e, "that because he had worked so long In tho ono place he hated to leave' It and face tha uncertainty of a new nosltlon. He was an expert machinist, though, and should have been able to secure more work easily enough." SUNDAY LAW VIOLATION.

Another ballot was taken for the re maining five bishops yet to be named and consideration of the report of the committee on education which formulated the details ot the reorganization of the Board of Education, Freedmen's Aid and Sunday Schools Into three separate so- ieties was resumed. This report was the special order last Friday but was laid aside on Saturday for the presentation of the report of the committee on Temperance. The conference decided tnat tnere snail be two corresponding secetaries of the Board of Freedmen Aid. who shall be co-ordinate, the understanding being that one shall be a white man and the other negro.

It was deemed that it would be for the advantage of the church to have two men representative of each race, as the negro could inspire his own part of the church, while it was stated that the white man would have access to churches unavailable to theV negro and thus be able to raise funds necessary for the work- After some minor amend ments, the report In its entirety was adopted. Just as the debate on tne temperance reports presented last Saturday was about to recommence the result of the eleventh ballot for bishops was announc ed. It showed no election, tne vote peine as follows: Total, 752; necessary to elect, BUJ, Smith, 479; Lewis. 470; Hugnes, Stuntz, 409; Mclntyre, so; uowney, ooj, uinlv. 170: Mason.

May 25 Justice Jaycox has denied the motion made by counsel for Stephen White of Northport to open the default taken by counsel for Joseph Franklin, against White in the damage suit brought by Franklin as a result of the shooting episode at Northport last fall, after the burning of the barns of White's father. It will be remembered that on October 9. while Franklin, a negro, was on his way to the county jail at Riverhead, under arrest upon suspicion of being implicated In the burning of the barns, young White shot Franklin In the abdomen, and that later Franklin recovered and was eventually acquitted of the charge of firing the barns. Following this acquittal, White was indicted for assault and is now under bonds awaiting trial, and meanwhile Franklin began his civil suit for $10,000 damages as a balm for being shot. Shortly after the service of the papers In the suit White's father called on his lawyer and Informed him of the service of the papers, but claimed that his son was not of age and, therefore, the service was not legal, and that a guardian would have to be appointed for young White for the trial of the suit.

Meanwhile White had defaulted in his failure to answer, and later, upon Investigation of the vital statistical records of Huntington Town, Franklin's lawyer found that young White had passed his twenty-first birth day on December 6 last, a little over a month before the service of the papers in the damage suit. White's attorney requested that the de fault be reopened upon consent of counsel, but Franklin's counsel would consent only upon order of the court, he having previously received an order for i sheriff's Jury to be called to assess dam ages under the default, it being arranged at the request of Sheriff Wells, who wa3 sick at the time, to call the Jury after the May term of the court. In the moving papers for the opening of the derault these facts were presented to the court, but as counsel for White had failed to show the court that they intended to put In an answer or even had submitted an affidavit of merit, the court denied the motion, with 10 costs. Leave, however, was granted to renew the motion upon submission ot the affidavit of merit and the proposed answer. SOLD LIQUOR TO MINOR.

Policeman Bought a Ticket and Then Charged Sunday Law Violation. Two were made by Detective John J. Fennell of the Fifth avenue station, yesterday afternoon, before the baseball game between the Marquettes and Visitation clubs was allowed to star: at the Marquette grounds, Tenth street and Second avenue. Detective Fennell and Officer Frank Sullivan went to the ball grounds and were not allowed inside unless they got a ticket. They were told that a ticket could be bought at the Marquette clubhouse on Fourth avenue.

So Fennell went to the clubhouse, bought a ticket and then placed James Quinn, 22 years old, of Ninth street, who, he alleges, sold the ticket under arrest for violating the Sunday law. The ticket was of plain red card board and bore on one side the Inscription. "Member, Marquetle Club," and on the other side the official stamp of the club. After Fennell got Quinn to the station house he hurried to the Marquette Oval and presented his ticket. After Martin Siebold, 20 years old.

of 4i8 Fourth avenue, had punched the ticket, and admitted the detective, he too was placed under arrest for violating the Sunday law. Then the police said that the gates must be wide open and no admission charged. The game was then Btarted. In the Fifth avenue court to-day Quinn and Siebold pleaded not guilty to the charge mad against ihem. and Magistrate O'Reilly adjourned the case until June 3.

TALES OF A HOPEFUL COMBINE Queens, Richmond, Kings and Five Manhattan Districts Would Control City Convention. These usual Monday morning visits by Senator McCarren upon Mayor McCIel-lan are attracting considerable attention in Tammany circles in Manhattan. There wag a time when the Senator's calls did not last mure than ten or fifteen mi nu utes.

During these strenuous times, when an active doubt is arising as to the abll ity of Murphy to control the next city convention, they last longer, the Tammany men are beginning to believe that the peace compact which is supposed to exist between the mayor and Murphy is an elastic document after all. The mayor says that Senator McCarren fills him with thrills of inspiration at each one of these visits. He says he leels refreshed after tho senator leaves and it might be said that those who saw I him after his talk with the senator de-) dare that he looked the part. As the advocate ot a business admin- istration the mayor does not talk poll-I tics during business hours. However, he made it plain this morning that It was not a mere social chat which consumed an hour of his time to-day in talking to Senator McCarren.

The mayor said that ho and the senator were discussing "the higher thought" and thereby hangs a tale. By the process of elimination, some of the Tammany statesmen believe that "the higher thought" which the mayor alluded to this morning was nothing more nor less than an interesting discussion of the political situation In this city. Some of these statesmen and one or two from the region of the Bowery do not take much stock in the mayor's intimation that occult and mystic sciences were discussed by the two men. "The only mystic thing about the talk," said one of the Tammany contingent, "was to find a way to give Murphy a swat when he ain't looking and least expects it, and the only scientific thing discussed was to give it to Murphy so that he'll take the count." That's the Tammany view and it has a good many adherents, not only In Manhattan, but In Brooklyn. Queens and Richmond as well.

Senator McCarren has figured out a scheme by which Brooklyn may control the next city convention with tne help of Queens. Richmond and Manhattan. Queens and Richmond are regarded as certain quantities, but at least five districts are required in Manhattan. These can be got, it is said, through a combination with Percy Nagle. John Cog-gey.

Francis J. Lantry, Maurice Feather-son and James Ahearn. Senator McCarren expects to control 21 out of the 23 districts in Brooklyn. several conferences have been held on the subject with the Queens and Richmond leaders, and for the five in Manhattan, it said, Senator McCarren expects the help of the mayor. Mapping out a plan of campaign, It is said, explains the lengthy visits of the Brooklyn leader upon the Mayor for the past few Monday mornings.

And "the higher thought," it is said, is a method to eliminate Murphy as a political factor. Of course, the Mayor declines to admit tnat pontics is the subject of these cusslons. It was suggested to him that the Senator called this morning for a social chat. 'Oh. no." was the renlv.

"Ynn nr vrv much mistaken if you imagine that the Senator and myself waste our time on social gossip. We were discussing the higher thought; these Monday morning visits of the Senator are a constant source of inspiration and enlightenment to me and leave me greatly "Will you discuss the newspaper reports to the effect that you must shortly choose between McCarren and Murphy?" "For information on that subject I refer you to my statement of February 10 of the present year." In that statement the Mayor pleaded for harmony and a united and uninstruct-ed delegation to Denver.

ARLINGTON AVENUE EFFORTS. some fresbyterian Wcmen Too Shrewd for Him, Though He Had Aid Society Addresses. In some way unknown to them Frank Hill, also Hall, also Hilton, has secured possession of one of the printed manuals of the Ladies Aid Association of the Arlington Avenue Presbyterian Church, which gives the names and addresses of all of the and there are 84 of them.

Every church person should know about Frank Hall, or Hill, or Hilton, by this time, for he has been swindling the good folks of various congregations In this town for years. The odd thing about it Is that In spite of the notoriety he has received, and In spite of the fact that he has been under arrest for swindling before, he manages to get victims. Just how much he got In the Arlington avenue section Saturday Is not known, for all the returns have not come In yet, but he did pretty well. And it is dollars to trading stamps that he did not catch that 3 o'clock train for the Pacific slope, where he expected, according to his story, to get whole lungs again. Poor Frank has been having a hard time with his lungs for years.

He has been in ever so many hospitals, according to his story, and all that Is needed is a stay in either Colorado or in California, where sound lungs grow on the tall trees. He Is such a measly looking wretch that good Christians fall for him so easy that it is like taking candy from a baby. And he does have the most delightful gam eof talk, all about truly good nnd grand women, and such noblo men, who have had him In hospitals when it seemed that every door to lung regulation had been closed to him. And he pronounces the name of the Deity as "Goad." long drawn out, and most devoutly. The way that man can talk on religious subjects.

and the knowledge he has about denominational matters Is wondrous. No matter what the diversion or split of Protes tantism, he knows all about It, and can differentiate, as no other living man can, between Congregationalism, Methodism, Presbyterlanlsm, Lutheranism and Epls-copalianism. If he would only put In his time putting his information on these subjects to an honest use he could get a class of theologians about him who would pay him well for his services. But, no; he is a fraud from his boot heels, and he cannot, help swindling. His scheme changes In the detail every little while, but It Is still the same old game.

He needs a trifle, from $3.38 down to $1, to complete his fare to California. He has a job watting for him there, and health, too and health Is the desideratum. If the "lady" or "gentleman" will only chip In the $1 he will start for the "slope" at once. Lately he has new trimmings on his dodge. His scheme Is lo visit one woman and tell her that he has been sent by another to deliver an Important message.

And then, after his errand Is closed, apparently, he talks about himself and rings In the dainty little story about going, right away, to California, if he only had the dollar. He was to have taken the 3 o'clock train on Saturday last and he was away up In East New York up to noon looking for the fugitive dollar. Of course he did not catch the train. If he only would it would be money In the pockets of the good folks of the Brooklyn churches. According to news that has reached the authorities, be has just closed with a round of the Baptist churches In the neighborhood, and he is working on tbe Presbyterians.

He has the name of every woman in the Ladles Aid of the Arlington Avenue Church pat, and he knows all their addresses, too. Ho called upon Mrs. Schwickert on Saturday, and began to tell what a good woman Mrs. Wood was, and how she and Mrs. Swift had helped him to get Into the Presbyterian Hospital, from which he had just emerged, in bad shape but not baffled.

He said that Mrs. Wood was anxious to see Mrs. Schwickert, and would she not call and see her about a most Important matter. Then he told Mrs. Schwickert about his Impending trip to California, and mentioned, casually, that he was going there on the 3 P.M.

train If he could get the dollar. Mrs. Schwickert Is a woman of mental presence, and she wondered very much how ha was to got food along the line, for It Is a long trip to California, and she was so persistent about knowing how a dollar would do, when he sureiy needed ten, that he beat a hasty retreat. Mrs. schwickert also wanted to know how on earth he could catch the train, for it was then 1 In the afternoon, and he was miles away from the Grand Central depot.

She told him to hurry. He also visited Mrs. Jordan and Mrs. Reeveland. and said that he meant to see Mrs.

Crevelins. and Mrs. Creveling Is waiting to meet him. She is most anxious to see him. Indeed, with his airs of misery.

Her anxiety was redoubled after some talk she had with the other victims yesterday afternoon. MOTOR PARTY IN SMASHUP. Car Wrecked and Occupants Hurled Out While Crossing Trolley Tracks at Valley Stream, (Special to the Eagle.) Valley Stream, L.
