SHIPPING MEN SCARED BY LOEB'S SHAKEUP Federal Grand Jury Is Conducting a Thorough Examination of Weighing. WEIGHERS SHOW THEIR BOOKS Sugar Trust's Big Fraud Upon the Government Is Small, Compared With Planters' Losses. Collector Lob's summary dismissal. of a number of Custom House weighers and assistant weighers has more than startled a good many people along the waterfront are connected in one way or another, with the shipping bustness. There is a feeling of uneasiness that' is not by any means allayed by the fact that the Federal Grand Jury in Manhattan, has been busily engaged for several days past investigating alleged frauds upon the government.

A number of men not at all connected with the government service has been subpoenaed to appear before that body and testify to matters pertaining to the service. Among these are several mercantile weighers employed by merchants and importers to check up the weights of goods. These have had to produce their books to prove what they show as to the weights of certain goods, and these are compared with the weights made by the government weighers. One of the former said to an Eagle reporter to-day, that he had been before the Grand Jury already, and had had a very uncomfortable seance with that body. He said: "There was a special district attorney named Smith, and two assistants present.

Grand jurors and all three were firing questions at me together, and I tell you that they made me pretty hot under the collar. I had nothing to conceal, and I told them so, but the situation was a decidedly, uncomfortable one all the same. Those men who have been accused of doing wrong have managed not only to make trouble for themselves, but for a lot of innocent people as well, and I have not a particle of sympathy for them." The fact that Collector Loeb has "gone higher up" has given no small satisfaction to many men both in and out of the customs service. There had long been a feeling that it was always the small fry that were caught and punished, but the collector's drastic measures show that this plan has been abandoned and that the final prosecution will be placed where it fits. The fact that the Sugar Trust paid an immense fine is, in itself, considered a strong proof against the men accused of underweighing imported sugar.

The wire device is reported to have been found attached to every one of seventeen scales, with the result that as each draft of two bags was underweighed 14 pounds, the loss must have been enormous. It was never easy to understand why these cargoes of sugar were not weighed on the docks where they were discharged, instead of at the sugar houses, but the reason is plain enough now in the light of recent developments. Special Treasury agents have been comparing invoice returns and weights in the warehouses for a long time past, as some of the men now dismissed had been indefinitely suspended for a considerable period before Loeb's ax fell. No one pretends to foresee the end, but the fact that the Federal Grand Jury is engaged in probing these cases, lends an air of strong probability to the belief that there will be a whole lot of criminal proceedings. It is reported that while Collector Loeb was in Washington recently, he was empowered to remove anybody or everybody, connected with the customs service of the port, and that he has been placed in supreme control of the entire service here.

There is a serious feature in these alleged cases of underweighing that has been lost sight of because of the prominence of the government's claim of fraud. This is the enormous losses that sugar planters and shippers must have suffered under this system. Take an average cargo of 30,000 bags of sugar. According to the government's statements, each bag was underweighed 7 pounds. The government only lost the amount of duty upon these 7 pounds, but the grower, or shipper.

lost that amount absolutely, which on a cargo of 30,000 bags meant a loss of 105 tons of raw sugar. If the government recovered more than $2,100,000, it is an indication- what amount the planters or shippers might claim for their shortages. Washington, May 13-Secretary MacVeagh left Washington to-day for New York, to look into customs matters there. He will return to Washington: to -morrow evening. The secretary was accompanied by Assistant Secretary Norton, who will proceed to Boston, returning to Washington next Tuesday.

GIRL SCALPED BY A WHEEL Rose Seigel's Hair Caught in Swiftly Revolving Shaft. Other Giris in Ribbon Factory Thrown Into a Panic by Horrifying Accident. Rose, Seigel, a pretty 17-year-old girl who lives with her parents at 74 Orchard street, Manhattan, had her scalp literally pulled from her skull this morning when her hair caught in a revolving shaft in the ribbon manufacturing house of Sellhase Oilman at 324 Lafayette street, where she was employed. The accident was witnessed by a score of other girl employes and they rushed to the street in a panic of horror. 85 Seigel had been instructed to elimo a step ladder in one corner of the room and dust off some boxes which had been stored there.

A little to her right was the revolving shaft, which made several hundred revolutions a minute. In some manner her hair became loosened when she reached the top of the ladder and a few strands of hair were sucked into the swiftly revolving wheel. In a second the hair had wound around the shaft and Miss Seigel was jerked from the ladder. A single scream warned Nathan Sellhase, proprietor of the place, of the accident. and in a second he had slipped the belt off the wheel which controlled the shaft's movements.

It came to a stop in a few seconds, but Miss Siegel had been suspended by the haif. The scalp was literally pulled loose from the skull and sho was unconscious when Sellhase cut away the hair with a pair of shears. Twenty-five horrified girls saw the accident and started with a rush for the stairways. They ran to the street and Policeman Baker of the Mulberry street station was told of the accident. Dr.

Walsh, summoned from St. Vineent's Hospital, said it would take forty stitches to sew up the lacerations. Miss Seigel weighs about 125 pounds, and her weight caused the scalp to be torn off entirely, except a few inches on the back of her head. The other girls were so much disconcerted by the accident that they refused to return to work, and the establishment was closed for the remainder of the day after the injured girl had been taken 10 the hospital. It was said by Dr.

Walsh that she would recover. Fairchild DIRECTORS Sons A quiet, competent service that invariahly satisfles. This has established Fairchi'd reputation caused our steady growth. 702 Fulton 2594 Atlantic 158 Reid av. Phone 3700 Prospect.

HADN'T $10; WENT TO JAIL. Jamaica Man Punished on. Woman Neighbor's Charge. Mrs. Antonia of South and Prospect streets, Jamaica, was in the Far Rockaway court, yesterday, as complainant against Frank James, a neighbor, whom she charged with having threatened to strike her with an ax.

According to her story, James came home intoxicated and attacked his wife, and that when Mrs. and her husband went in to prevent James doing his wife harm, the man picked up an aX and attempted to strike her. He was fined $10 for disorderly conduct, in default of which he went down to the county jail for ten days. SMALL BOY; BIG FISH Negro Lad Spears Carp at Riverhead. Fish Was a Veteran and Had Eluded His Pursuers for Years--Captured in' a Mudhole.

(Special to the Eagle.) Riverhead, L. 13--One of the biggest fresh water fish ever taken in waters near Riverhead was captured yesterday by a small negro boy, Ollie Boardman, in a mudhole back of the water tower. It was a German carp, nearly three feet long, and weighed a fraction over pounds. The boy captured the fish with a spear after an exciting hunt with a gun and a fishpole. While improvements are being made to the mill machinery in the water tower most of the water has been allowed to run out from back of the flume, leaving nothing but a small-sized.

but quite deep puddle, and it was this fact which led to the capture of what is believed to be the dean of the fish family in the upper river. This carp has been seen in that locality for years, some of the boys who have now grown up say. But every time they tried to capture him he escaped with his life; then he would be lost to view for a long time. Boys have speared at him and have shot at him and have tried to capture him with all sorts of tempting bait and with many contrivances, but he was a "little too smart for the young fishermen. That he had some mighty close escapes, though, is seen by the scars of spear points on him.

He has at least a halt dozen of these marks. Probably the only thing that caused his capture at this time was in the fact that the water around his home was a little shoaler than usual. When exhibited about the village the big fish attracted considerable attention, and it was a mighty proud little nego that marched around with him. showing the spot where the spear jabbed him near his head. The lad considers himself almost as famous a hunter as Roosevelt.

MANHATTAN BRIDGE CABLES Time Savers Begin Work on Cable Wrappers. Steel Company's Contract Will Be Completed in Four Months. Four new time savers in the form of cable or wrappers to-day began the last operation in connection with the steel parts of the Manhattan Bridge. The completion of the cable "serving" process will finish the contract of the Carbon Steel Company for the supply of the steel for the bridge structure and the construction of the big cables, After the cables have been strung and the massive steel superstructure attached thereto it was necessary to adjust the dead or suspended structure of 19,000 tons upon the cables, SO that the strain would be evenly distributed from anchorage to anchorage. cables themselves weigh 8,000 tons and 'the two towers 6,000 tons each, making a total weight of towers, cables and suspended structure of 39,000 tons beside the ment for traffic that is yet to be placed.

In order that the cables should be adjusted to their permanent position before it was necessary to hang upon them the permanent load which they are to carry, and that under its influence any tendency to alter the plumb of the structure night be correct, this necessitated a stopping of work in the center of the span, and it was the cessation of activities pending the proper adjustment of the load that gave rise to the stories that the bridge was not technically perfect. The process of "serving" the cables is considered by bridge engineers to be one of the most difficult and important operations in the construction of a suspension bridge. Until the present time the operation has been slow and tedious. requiring the labor of five men on each of the old hand machines. The new invention requires only watchfulness and but minor physical exertion on the part of three attendants.

This machine will wrap the cable and propel itself at the rate of 16 feet per hour, as against 20 feet a day required by the old machine. There are four of these machines used in the wrapping process working from the lowest point on the cables up to the towers, 350 feet above the water. They are run by electric motor, and high up on the top of the cable, way above hand rails and other devices that might save him were he to fall, sits the operator. The wrapping process is the final fastening together of the 37.888 galvanized open-hearth, acid-steel wires constituting the cables, and weighing 6,300 tons. If the wires were strung out end to end.

they would reach over 23.000 miles. The four cables, with a cross-section area, of 275 inches each, have an ultimate strength of 215,000 pounds to the square inch, and will support a working load of 60,000 pounds to the square inch, or a congested load of 73.000 pounds to the square inch. Attached to the cables are 1,400 steel suspenders weighing 8,000 tons which supthe main bridge structure. The port serving process will take about four months. OFFICERS WERE DISCHARGED.

Wounding of Jamaica Man in Chase After Fleeing Fighter Was Accidental. Robert Cron and Gottlieb Kerberle, policemen attached to the Jamaica precinct, who were arraigned before Magistrate Gilroy, at Far Rockaway, last week, complaint of Harry Tatum, of 86 Carl on street, Jamaica, charged with felonious assault, were in court again -yesterday, when the case was heard. It will be remembered that the officers were sent down to Rockaway avenue earlier in the month in answer to a telephone message that a murder had been committed there, and when they arrived they were told by two men that they had been attacked and beaten by a man who was seen running away in the darkness. The officers gave chase, and after going over some fences and shouting to the fleeing man to halt, fired several shots in the air to frighten him. One shot went wild and hit Tatum in the leg.

He fell to the ground with a cry, and was made a prisoner. He told the officers that he did not want to' get mixed up in the scrap and so ran away. He brought the action against the policemen in order to ascertain which one had shot him in the leg. Both officers were discharged. SAYS DOREY, THE BEGGAR, IS A YEGGMAN AS WELL Mendicancy Officer Godfrey Traces Up the Man Who Has an Acid-Burned Leg.

RECORD FILLS MANY PAGES. All Sorts of Efforts Have Been Made to Free Vagrant-Friend of Queen of the Yeggmen. John D. Godfrey, the mendicancy offcer of the Bureau of Charities, has been looking into the record of Arthur Dorey, who will be before Magistrate Dooley tomorrow morning charged with vagrancy, and says he has identified him as a man with a lot of aliases, a long record as a I professional beggar and associated for years with the "yegg" industry. also known as "Michael Forbes," "Bridgewater Blackie," and "Andrew Devine." All of the beggars who are arrested are referred to Godfrey, who has a fine memory for faces and facts, and when Dorey was presented to attention of Magistrate Dooley yesterday "I morning by Detectives Clare and Callahan of the local headquarters squad as a man who was found begging at the corner of Myrtle avenue and Adams street on Tuesday night, Godfrey recognized him at once as a man with a long bad record.

The detectives were approached by the man, who exhibited a sore on the left leg and who said he was unable to work. It was one of the manufactured injuries that he displayed; an eating of the skin by acid used by mendicants for that very purpose. The officers made him a prisoner and he protested that he was from East Bridgewater, and had never been in Brooklyn before. But Godfrew says he can show he did live for a while on Jay street, at a resort kept by Rosie Campbell, alias Devine, alias "Harmonica Rosie, the Queen of the Yeggs," with whom he was for a time on the most friendly and intimate terms. The Queen of the Yeggs had tried, unsuccessfully, some time ago get Dorey out of prison, and at one time it was rumored, on the authority of another yeggman, that there was a plot on the part of some of the Eastern leaders to storm the jail and get him out by force.

Among Dorey's associates some years ago were Daniel O'Rourke, alias Diamond Dan, the keeper of a resort for Yeggs on Park Row: Charles Francis Butler, alias Boston Charley, who begs in the uniform of the United States Navy; Catherine Duffy, who supported Dorey for a while and got into a row with the Queen of the Yeggs over him; Nicholas Higgins, alias Irish Curley, and Thomas Lee, alias "Chi Tom," and Silas Stein, alias "Sheeney Si," said to be the yegg leaders of the East. The roster of Dorey's friends contaius the names of most of the yegg leaders in the country, men who make their living by burglaries on country post offices, hold-ups and mendicancy in the sublimated form and Officer Godfrey says that the detectives builded better than they knew when they took him in. The of Dorey covers nine sheets of closely written record and a number of the index cards of the United Charities His first arrest was in August, 1904, when he was sent to the workhouse on Blackwell's Island Magistrate Cornell, in Manhattan, for begging. It is said that he fixed up the injury to his leg by flowing a biting acid over it in the rear room of Diamond Dan's place. Within a few days of his incarceration efforts began to form for his discharge, and it was plain that he had powerful influences at work for him.

His friends first got to work on the missionary at the branch workhouse and they convinced the good man, with some sanctimonious assistance from "Bridgewater Blackie" himself, that the poor fellow was abused. The facts in the case were told to the missionary and he dropped him and stopped the machinery he had started looking to the man's discharge. All sorts of ruses were tried to get the prisoner out. Dorey got word from his Massachusetts home to the effect that his mother was dying there and wanted to see her son, but that was found to be untrue. Then Kittie Duffy, who claimed to be his wife, and who said that he was highly respectable, applied to the Department of Mendicancy for his discharge.

Her own record was shown to her and she confessed that people krew more about her than she cared to have known. She admitted also that she had lived as the man's wife in Jay street, in this borough. She said that the only honest work that Dorey had ever performed to her knowledge was when he was employed as a bouncer in Diamond Dan's resort and that was because he had been something of a pugilist. Dorey was in the meanwhile trying on his own hook to work on the sympathies of the offcials of the Charities ment. He wrote to Commissioner Lantry Departabout himself, thus: "Dear Sir -Excuse the liberty I take in writing these few lines, as prison life does not agree with gentlemen.

My name 1s Michael Forbes and I was arrested on the Bowery for asking the policeman on duty for a cup of coffee and was charged with vagrancy. I was intoxicated the time. I now kindly ask you to intercede for me and get me out, as I have a fine home in East Bridgewater, Mass. If I get out I have my passage back home, as I received $10 from dying mother, who hopes to see me before she dies. I came to New York with the man I met in East Bridgewater, who said, he had employment for me, but he lied.

Hoping for a favorable reply, I remain your humble servant, "MICHAEL FORBES." By this time the "humble servant" had been sent to Riker's He did not get out, but it is known that he got a job as trusty in the Tombs prison, after a long time. He served his six months and in the following year, as Andrew Devine, served another six months for begging. The police think that there may be more serious charges against him. He is about 30 and has a marvelously smooth way of talking. The documentary facts dug up by Officer Godfrey will be presented to Magistrate Dooley in the morning.

BILL IS FOR NEW COURT HOUSE It Gives Much Power to Justices--No Speechmaking for Measure--Mayor Likely to Sign It. Michael O'Sullivan of 348 Fifty-fifth street, who has been known as an advocate of the Fourth avenue subway, an opponent of Controller Metz and who has been fighting the B.

R. T. for years had his. day in court this morning. It was not before the Supreme Court, where he declares he vainly sought time and again, to get a hearing, but before Mayor McClellan, who sat in judgment on the bill providing for the erection of a new county court house in Brooklyn.

There was no chance that Mr. Sullivan might punished for contempt and he took advantage of the occasion to speak his mind on Supreme Court judges in general, while three distinguished members of that tribunal sat within a few feet and listened. Mr. Sullivan did not mince his words. He never did.

In fact, he has a very militant personality and at more than one public hearing before the Board of Estimate he has told Controller Metz what he thought of him. He was just in that mood this morning. In the first place, he announced that he was against the bill -because it gave the judges too much power--in fact, maue them an administrative body exercising the functions of city and borough authorities. The judges, he said, now did not seem to have the time to attend their judicial duties and therefore he could not understand how they could stand the burden of running the new county court house. "For three or four years," he said, "I have been trying to get a hearing of two or three hours.

Judgments have been secured against me, but cannot court for a hearing. Every time Fetinto tried the judges have handed me over to a referee, and as Ihayen't the money to pay them, they won't give me any consideration. "If the justices of the Supreme Court haven't the time to attend to their, duties on the bench, how are they going to have time to exercise the duties of the Board of Estimate and the borough president's office? This bill is a mandatory measure that takes away power from the city authorities. A great deal is said about the teachers lobby at Albany, but nobody says anything when the judges go to Albany and lobby for a bill." Justice Jenks, representing the Appellate Division, and Judges Thomas and Burr, representing the Supreme Court of the Second Department, were the distinguished jurists who had the privilege of listening to Mr. O'Sullivan's tirade against the court.

They listened attentively, but did not seem to be disturbed. never even took the trouble of replying, maintaining a dignified silence. Evidently, the provisions of the bill had been discussed with the administration before it was introduced. None of the judges spoke in its favor. Mayor McClellan asked them only one question regarding the city's check on the judges in regard to the court house, and Justice Jenks replied that such a check was provided for in the bill.

He also stated that the cost of the building would be a county charge. The bill gives the judges of the Supreme Court a wide latitude. They have the power to select the site for the new building. but it must be approved by the Board of Estimate. If the site is bought by private purchase, the price must be approved by the judges as well as the Board of Estimate.

The sole power of selecting the architect to design the new building is conferred upon the judges. The plans, however, must be approved by the Board of Estimate, and so must any change in the plans. Under the terms of the bill the judges after the building is erected will have sole supervision over its care and maintenance. They will have the power to appoint the custodian, engineer and such other employes who may be needed. At the present time the borough president has control over the maintenance of the court house.

If the bill is signed by the mayor and the governor the judges will once take under consideration a site. They, In fact. have two or three places in mind at the present time. It is probable that the etructure will be a magnificent one. It is to accommodate the Appellate Division all the trial and special terms of the Supreme Court and the law library.

It is understood that the mayor will sign the bill because the cost of the new court house will not be a charge the large, but simply against Kings County. WOMEN'S CLUB ENTERTAINED. King Manor, in Jamaica, Scene of a Pleasant Affair-Prominent Persons Present. The annual spring reception of the Woman's Club of Jamaica, extended to its. friends and out-of-town members, was held last night in the large assembly rooms of King Manor, Jamaica.

When it became known a few weeks ago that the hospital managers were negotiting for the purchse of big tract for asylum purposes near Farmingdale, Mr. Yoakum became greatly excited and protested strongly against the selection of a site near his country home. He declared that he and his neighbors would be greatly -injured by such action and urged that some other site.

be chosen. Then the board of managers announced that Mr. Yoakum had withdrawn his opposition and had offered to sell his egtate for the asylum, and that the deal had been closed. Now it appears that it has fallen through and that the asylum managers must look elsewhere. A member of the board told an Eagle reporter to-day that several other sites are being inspected, in the vicinity of Farmingdale and some elsewhere.

He would not tell their exact location lest some new opposition might develop. It now appears that the action of the Farmingdale Board of Trade in voting in favor of the asylum being located near that place has created a good deal of feeling there. A meeting of nearly two hundred citizens of the place was held at the truck house on Tuesday night, presided over by P. L. Hall, with Alanson Van Cott recording, when solutions protesting vigorously against the location of the new asylum there were offered and unanimausly adopted.

It was declared as the sense of the meeting that the citizens of Farmingdale "are unaltcrably opposed to the use of any property at or near the vicinity of Farmingdale for the care of insane persons," and the officers of the meeting were instructed, in behalf of the people of Farmingdale, to file a protest with the proper authorities. his excellency, the governor, the senator and assemblyman, also the Lunacy Commission, against the location of a hospital for the insane in or near the village. It was declared at the meetlug that the favorable action of the board of trade WAS taken at a meeting specially called, and which was attended by loss than a dozen of the members. A prominent resident of Farmingdale told an Eagle reporter this morning that about twenty-five members attended the board of trade meeting, but he admitted that the attendance did not represent the total membership. He said that the village was divided on the question.

An Albany dispatch to a Manhattan morning paper says: After a week of examination fproposed sites for the Long Island Hospital for the Insane the state lunacy commission returned here to-day without having reached any' decision as to a location for that, institution. The trip of inspection took the commission through Westchester, Nassau and Suffolk counties. It is the intention at present to say nothing regarding the sites under consideration, lest the protests from residents interfere with the commission's plans. Already there is a likelihood that Westchester people will be up in arms at the bare possibility of the hospital being put into that county. The situation at present is that the lunacy commission practically is "up against it." and the urgency of the case seems to have no effect whatever in hastening a solution of the diffculty.

JURY FAILED TO AGREE Wouldn't Accept Evidence of Man Who Turned State's Evidence. Leonard Darling Tried for Burning House of Clarice Vance, the Actress, at St. James. (Special to the Eagle.) Riverhead. L.

May 13-Although the jury in the Darling arson case stayed out all day yesterday the men were unable to agree and were discharged last night by County Judge Griffing. It is said the jury stood ten to two for conviction. Leopard Darling and George Moran were indicted for robbing and firing the summer home of Clarice Vance, the actress, at St. James, some months ago. Last December they were tried together on the burglary charge and acquitted.

They were held on the arson charge and Darling was tried this week, the case being a long and interesting one. Moran turned state's evidence at the last moment and confessed the whole affair, excusing his part in it by saying that he was drunk and that Darling, the elder man, was the ringleader, anyway. He said that he and Darling together robbed the house of the actress; later Darling. set it on fire one night while he, Moran, was ill, and Darling came in later and said it was burning. Moran said he looked out of his window and saw the blaze.

He also said. that Darling tried to get him to participate in the burning of the house, but he refused. The house was set afire to cover up the burglary. Moran said. The evidence was partially corroborated by a young Brooklynite named Johnson, who was at the Darling home at the time and who said that Darling and Moran came in and dressed him up in "funny things" taken from the trunks of the actress in the house.

Some of these were exhibited in court and identified by Mose Gumble, husband of the actress, and by Johnson, who said they were the identical clothes in which the older min dressed him when they came in from the burglary episode. When tried for the burglary charge Moran stoutly swore that he knew of that or of the burning of the nothing when he came forward and house. Now, swore he knew all about it, implicating Darling as the ringleader, the jury refused the whole story and to believe him. Darling repudiated members of his family said he was other home and in bed at the tried time. believed the case will be It is again in December.
