.1.. and two daugnters, Brooklyn Delegation Is Stubborn and There Will Be Bolters if Caucus Is Held. TAMMANY LACKS VOTES. Five Democratic Senators Will Vote Against Graft Effort to End Legislative Session This Week. (Special to The Eagle.) Albany, September 19 At a conference between Governor Dix and the Democratic legislative leaders this morning, it waa decided to push right ahead with the work of the session without taking another recess.

This was a surprise to most of the legislators, who believed that a recess until next week was planned. Tomorrow is to be "legislative day," in whkb only purely formal buslneos will be transacted. On Thursday a full attendance will be required and preparations will be made for ths vote on the three big measures charter, reapportionment and direct nominations which are to be decided. Senator Cullen eald this afternoon that every effort would be made to close the session finally this week. It seeins practically certain that the Gaynor charter for the City of New York will be defeated.

The Democrats, according to Senator Black, plau to hold a caucus on the measure. The "bolters" from the caucus, however, probably will exceed in numbers the bolters from the caucus for United States Senator held In January. Senators Lorlng M. Black, Barth Cron'u and Thomas C. Harden of Brooklyn, all Democrats, are all against the proposed charier.

They are gaining adherents. Senator Franklin D. Roosevelt, another Democrat. Is against It. and so Is Senator Loomls of Buffalo.

Senator Harte of Long iBland City Is reported to be opposed to the Gaynor draft because the Mavor Is fighting Leader Cassidy of Queens. But Harts will not disclose lis attitude. Thore are at least five Democratic Senators at present, acoordiug to the best authority, who will vote agalust the charter. Senator Saxe of Manhattan counted on to be a sixth, but he la being subjected to great pressure, it is said, to swing into line. Two Democratic Senators, Wagner and McManus, are ub-sent because ot illness.

McManus may be able to get to Albany for the vote on the charter, but all hopes of Wagner's attendance have been abandoned. The Democrats have only 29 votes, nnd 28 are necessary to pass the bill. Therefore, owing to the stubborn attitude of the Brooklyn delegation, the charter from the present outlook Is doomed to defeat. Senator Stlllwell of the Bronx was asked to help defeat the dinner, but he refused. This position Is not considered final, however, The Republican caucus on the charter called for today has been postponed, ow Ing to the absence of many members who remained home to attend the upstate primaries held today.

The caucus will be held on Wednesday of Thursday. la not expected that direct prlmnrles will be enacted into law this week, and the only legislation scheduled for pas sage is the reapportionment of Congres sional districts. The majority of the Kc- rjublicans as well as Democrats say they are satisfied with the reapportionment plan. LAWYERSHELD IN $5,000 BAIL They Are Charged With Subornation of Perjury. Frank Herwig and Joseph A.

Shay, the two Manhattan lawyers who were arrested yesterday nfternoou on Federal Indictments charging them with subornation ot perjury, were arraigned later be fore Chatfleld in the United States Circuit Court. They pleaded not guilty. At the request of Assistant United States District Attorney Moore bail was fixed at which a surety company furnished and the lawyers went free. Shay lives at Cedarhurst, L. I.

Ho is a married man approaching middle age. He once received a suspension of one year by the Appellate Division in New York County because his methods of practice involved the so-called "ambulance chasing." Maley, Betts and Major, the three New Jersey boys who were arrested In Newark yesterday on perjury charges in cannectlon with this case, were held by a United States Commissioner In Newark in $2,000 ball each for trial. Herwig and Shay will be tried here in October. The trial of the two indirted lawyers next month Is expected to bring to light some Interesting facts regarding the transferlng of damage cases from other Btales to Brooklyn. It is stated that Juries In Brooklyn have a habit of awarding higher damages in accident cases than Juries in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and that whenever It is possible some lawyers seek to have their clients move to Brooklyn so that action may be brought In Kings County.

This practice has become so common, some lawyers say, that Brooklyn has come to be known as "the heart of the negligence district." Although Maley, the boy who was Injured In the case now pending, was able to bring action here. It Is fact that he lived In New Jersey when the accident happened end that his residence was in that State when he was arrested yesterday. POB.TER TO THE WORKHOUSE.

History of ths Shoe Machinery Company. The United Shoe Machinery Oompany came Into being in 1889.

It was founded by Sydney W. Wlnslow, Its present head, who learned shoemaklng In a small factory In Salem, owned by his father, and who. to secure advantages of combining allied Interests, formed a cor poration embracing the three leaning companies then making shoe machinery, Goodyear Sewing Maohlne Company (Consolidated), and Mackay Lasting Company, and McKay Shoe Machinery Company. The company was reorganised In 1905, and subsequently auxiliary companies sprang up In Canada, Great Britain, France and Germany. That same year the manufacturing ot all Its shoemaklng machinery was concentrated in one large factory at Beverly, Mass.

The United Shoe Machinery Company now employs 4,000 hands, who turn out 20,000 shoe machines yearly. The royalty system, by which the corporation disposes of Its machines, allows a shoe manufacturer to lease maohlnes, paying rentals In royalties on every shoe A manufacturer may buy machinery If he gets it from the United Shoe Machinery Company, providing he buys his "findings" such as wire nails and eyelets from the company. It is claimed that the royalty paid the United Company is about 2 2-3 cents per pair of shoes: Last year the company brought suit against Thomas G. Plant, a BoBton ahoe manufacturer, charging patent Infringements. Plant sold out his shoe machinery plant and patent rights to the United Company after a bitter fight.

A few months later an Independent company the Brosnahan Shoe Machinery Company of Lynn, Mass was also purchased by the United Company. Announcement of the climax In the Government's inquiries was coincident with the proposal for a state investigation by Governor Foss, a Democrat, who In a message to the Legislature, which was then In session, pointed out the need of a statute to reach tbe alleged monopoly.

Blaze in Village Lighting Plant Proves Fireman a Hero. (Special to The Eagle Bay Shore, L. September 19 The northern portion of this village was threatened with destruction last night when fire was discovered In the Suffolk Gas and Electric Company's plant. The origin of the fire Is unknown, and the damage is unofficially estimated at from $1,000 to $2,000. The roof of the boiler house was burned off.

The village was in darkness for about twenty minutes, the brevity of the interruption being due, it is said, to the plucky work of the company's fireman, who stuck to his bollors until the fire above and the water below forced him out. Two big gas tanks are close to the scene of the fire and for a time it looked as though there would be an explosion that would shatter the village. PUNCHED THE PASSENGERS.

The anneal report of tbe Brooklyn Rapid Transit company, Issued 07 tbe president and board of directors to tbe stockholders and covering tbe fiscal year ended June 80 last, was made public today. The irross earnings of tbe company amounted to 131,888,541.01. an Increase of more than $1,000,000 over tbe preceding year. Tbe operating expensee lnoreased nearly 8500,000, however, and $88,631 was put back Into tbe company's property as betterments. This was $20,000 less than la the yer previous.

The yertr'e surplus from operation was $3,059.84.21, an Increase, compared with the previous year, of $556,909.11. The dlvldWnd on the stock amounted to WO, an Increase of After mefat of the dividend and other expenses, tfie balance sheet surplus on June 30 was 'A 413,585, an inoreaee of $235,170.92. Aside from the financial statistics for the year, the most Important feature of tbe report Js the chapter on subway matters. Reference Is made to the original proposition of tbe company on March 2, th ter 1911, which, acordlng to President Will-lams, "was not Intended to conflict with any rapid transit plans In tbe Boroughs of Manhattan snd the Bronx, but to furnish comprehensive and adequate transit facilities for the Borough of Brooklyn and a large part of tbe Borough ot Queens, with the eventual extension thereof to the Borough of Richmond." Manhattan's Prosperity Dependent on Population of Other Boroughs. "The plan which was thus proposed," continues the report, "included, as an essential accompaniment of Improved local transit In these boroughs, a suitable distribution subway system in Manhattan.

Nearly 2,000,000 persons reside In these two boroughs and a large proportion of them visit Manhattan daily for business or pleasure. Upon this daily human Influx, increasing as rapidly as conditions will permit, depends to a large extent the stability and growth of Manhattan's material prosperity. "Your company, recognising these considerations and Its obligations toward them ae the only public service corpora- tlon through which, by reason of its existing facilities, improvement of transit conditions in Brooklyn and Queens can be most promptly and effectually accom- pllshed, proposed through Its communi- cation of March 2, not only new lines and enlargement ot existing lines In those two boroughs, but a distributing subway line In Manhattan, from the Battery to Fifty-ninth street, located mostly on Broadway, with suitable connections witn the East River bridges and a new tunnel under the river. The plan of transportation thus proposed received Instant and general public approval. It did not involve the use of any thoroughfare In Manhattan covered by negotiations between the city any otber railroad company.

It did not conflict with any plana or the development of rapid transit In Manhattan and the Bronx nor In part of QueenB." Tbe report calls attention to the ot tbe rapid transit act which requires a certain procedure to be followed. Including a public Invitation for proposals, and states that these formalities are now to be undertaken by tbe Public Service Commislon. As to this phase of the matter, the report says: "TJppn their completion, and upon tbe award. If made. In accordance with the.

declared policy and expressed sentiment of the two official bodies (the Board of Estimate and Apportinment and the Public Service Commission), your company, through the instrumentality of a new corporation to be organized for pur- poBe, and with the co-operation of existing railroad companies, will be furnished with the necessary authority to underr take the execution of much larger '-n of transportation than It originally proposed Involving the expenditure of much additional money, and operation over a much wider territory. Company Will Be a Greater New York "Tour oompany, thrugh ijs new Instrumentality, while procuring its distribution line in Manhattan and the enlargements asked for In Brooklyn and Queens, will no longer be a local cor-, poration, serving the people of. two boroughs, but a Greater New York corporation, serving the people of five boroughs. The conditions wbich have brought about this situation have notbeen of our seeking, but tbe responsibility which It will not be evaded, and the opportunity which It affords for public service will not be ignored. In the disinterested purpose and intelligent consideration which marked the precedent official conferences, and in the subsequent declaration of principles upon which the city's representatives acted, a new chapter was written in the history of municipal transit and a new standard of official conduct and performance was established.

"Your directors conceive It to be their paramount duty to Insure, so far as the obligation rests upon them, the compute and satisfactory carrying out of th? city's comprehensive and far-Bighted policy for a unified transportation system, capable of Indefinite expansion, constructed and equipped In accordance with ths most improved methods, and operated with the highest attainable efficiency and for a s'le fare." The company says that under the terms of the proposed contract the operator will be called upon to expend approximately $75,000,000 In construction and equipment, and that this money has already been arranged for. The plan of financing will be announced at the proper time. New Lines of Track Real Estate Taxes Raised. The report contains several pages of enumeration of additions and Improvements during the year. Among these was the construction of 5.465 miles of extension on Nostrand and Utica avenues, and on New Lots road.

The report calls attention to the fact that assessments of real estate, tracks and special franchises have been increased during the current year by and that the charge to taxes represents over 14 6 per cent, of tbe net Income after deducting operating expenses and amounts to a sum equal to nearly one-half the net profits. No bonds of any kind were sold during the fiscal year, and the company had In Its treasury, available for sale, bonds Issued under Its refunding mortgage, aggregating $15,924,000. The results of tbe operations of the entire system for the fiscal year, with comparison for the preceding year, show as follows: 1911. MM.

WEYLER MARKED BY PLOTTERS Mob at Valencia Murders Judge and. Wounds Other Court Officers Tux- moil in Many Cities. Madrid, September 19 Martial law has been declared In Spain. This followed reports of violence in connection with worklngmen's strikes which have been called In various cities lo further, the government says, a revolutionary plot. The General Union of Labor today decided to call a general strike throughout Spain on a date to be fixed later.

The moee serious situation is at Valencia, where general strike was declared yesterday. The city was at once placed under martial law, and though there was ore or less rioting throughout the day He authorities hud matters pretty well in hand until after dark, when the disturbers vented their fury in an attack upon the ollluials In the adjacent township of Cullera. The rioters murdered a judge and wounded other otllcers of the court which had been engaged In the trial of thoso who had beou arrested earlier In the day. The mob was finally dispersed by guards from the custom house. Strikes have also been declared at Bilbao." Suragussa, Cadiz, Huclva, Seville, Oijon and other cities.

In some of theso places the movement has been but partially successful. Premier nnnouncts that tbo Government has in Its possession the details of a revolutionary plot uncovered at Valencia ami Barcelona. Part of this plot was to assassinate General VVtyler, captain general of Catalonia. The Oov- eminent claims lo know the numes of all conspirators and the sources of their supplies. It la claimed that the movement ut Barcelona has tailed ot importance.

The last pie time wlien martlet law was declared in Spain was th i summer or iwif, when the efforts of ths government to put down the revolution- ary outbreak culminated in tile execu- tlon of Professor Ferrer, a distinguished educationist of anti-monarchical principles. The trouble which began it riiircclouia wns caused by popular opposition to I lie Spanish reinpuign against' the Riffs lu Morocco. The calling our of reserves for the reinforcement of the ermy was a signal for a general strike and the beginning, of nioh violence. Barcelonla was for .1 time tit the mercy of a mob which burned churches and monuiitie institutions. Much blood was shed before tbe disturbers were suppressed.

This was lete In July. Early In August an attempt to create general strike In Madrid tailed. Ferrer was arrested, charged with being ths prime mover in the revolutionary activity at Barcelona, was tried by court martial nnd shot on Ortob'jr 1.1. During tbo gravest period or the disturbance, in AugU3t, there were rumors of a threatened C.arlist uprising, hut Don Jaime of Bourbon appeared not to encourage the movement. The government stamped out the rehellon.

but the. unpopularity of the Riff campaign, tuo storm caused by the execution of Professor Ferret, and criticism of the action of the government In maintaining the suspension of the constitutional guarantees at Barcelona and Gerona for some time after the necessity for this course appeared to have passed, led to th resignation of the Maura Cabinet which was succeeded on October 22 by the Moret Ministry. September 10 Troops this afternoon fired on a crowd that was endeavoring to free prisoners, including strike leaders who were being taken, through the streets. Twenty-six persons were wounded. Tho situation is grave.

London. September 10 The overthrow of the Spanish monarchy was Insured aaalnst at Lloyds this afternoon, when the high rate of 25 guineas (approximately $1215) per cent, was being paid for ths policies. WHO OWNS FLUSHING TUNNEL Railroad Has an Easement on Property Asks for Condemnation. A controversy having arisen bctwesn the Long Island Railroad Company and the present owners of the famous Flushing' Institute property In Flushing, hs to compensation for the takinq; away ths old tunnel across part of th institute land, the railroad applied to Justice this morning for the appointment of condemnation commissioners, HvsertlnK that until this controversy is settled tho railroad cannot obey the Public Service Commission, which has ordered Ihe Main street grade crossing in Flushing to abolished.
