Alleged That They Crow from Midnight Until Early Morning. MUST BE PECULIAR BIRDS. Generally Believed That Chickens Go to Sleep at Sundown Perhaps Ont on the Shore Road, Where Higgins Lives, They Hare Daylight at Midnight Higgins Will Fight the Case. Mr. George A.

Higgins, a well-known sporting man, who has a handsome home on Ninety-seventh street and the Shore Road, and who is a neighbor of AI. Johnson, the railroad king, will have to answer to the Justices'-of the Court of Special Sessions, for his failure to get rid of three game roosters. Mr. Higgins was complained of to the Board of Health some time ago by Miss Helen Aquaballa, whose sister keeps a large boarding house in the rear of his residence. She declared in an affidavit, which was filed io the Adams Street Court, that the game chickens Mr, Higgins had in his possession not only disturbed the slumbers of the boarders, but had almost wrecked her sister's system.

"They crow from midnight until early in. the morning and the echo is taken up by the other roosters," is the way that purt of the affidavit reads. Mr. Higgins promised a week ago to get rid of the game cocks. He was given until this morning to attend to the matter.

When the case was called a representative of the Corporation Counsel's office stepped up to tie bench and told Magistrate Steers that the noise was even greater now than it ever was. "Why, Judge, this complaint is pure spite," said Higgins, who is somewhat of in excitable temperament. "Mr. Higgins," said Magistrate Steers, yon naa ucner come uowu- 10 uwt i Jive. There are plenty of roosters there." Higgins declared that the roosters were not ah'ursance.

As he showed no inclination rid Of them the magistrate said that he would proceed Vith' th'e eiamiaa-tioa. Miss Aquaballa was then called to the witness stand. She said that she was a neighbor of Higgins for the past six years, and that the crowing of the roosters had driven many of the boarders away from the house. "Why, judge, just think of it," she added, "they begin at midnight and I can assure you that they do not cease until quite late the next morning. The echo is taken up by the other roosters.

They are all game chickens of Mr. Higgins and they have a peculiar resonant sound. We have consulted Mr. Higgins from time to time and he promised to have the nuisance abated, but he failed to do so. You see we make our living through keeping boarders and most of them have been driven away from us.

I have now two letters from doctors showing that the nervous condition of my sister was brought about through the crowing of the roosters." Higgins was then called to the witness When asked what he had to say, he admitted that 1t was true that he had some game stock. "These people," he said, "live down there but three months in the year and want to run the whole place. It Cost me about $400 to build the chicken-coop, and I have' moved it from time to time so as to try to remedy the supposed nuisance. They are not-satisfid "with anything I Raymond Smith said that he had boarded with the Aquaballas for some time, and that he had to take his wife away from the house on account of the crowing of the roosters. "Mr.

Higgins, I don't see that I can do anything else with you except to hold you tor the action of the Court of Special The bond which he had furnished for his appearance was continued. When he left the court he said that he proposed to give the Aquaballas a fight before he would part with his game stock. ROBBED WEIGHING MACHINES.

A Pretty Yonng Woman Claimed That Counsellor Fenton Rockwell Obtained $5 from Her and Did Nothing for It Magistrate Teale Took the Matter Up and There Wai a Breeiy Half Honr Between His Honor and the Lawyer The Judge Intimates That There Must Be Ms "Shyster" Business in Court.

Magistrate Teale became fiercely indignant in Gates Avenue Court to-day and the unusual exhibition of temper caused considerable comment, because Magistrate Teale is usually considered one of the most amiable and genial Judges on the criminal bench of Brooklyn. The cause of it all was peculiar. A few days ago a pretty young colored woman, named Letty Williams, who is just now living at Xo. 220 West street, Manhattan, addressed a note to the Gates Avenue Court, in which she complained that she had paid a lawyer $5 for doing nothing. Letty said in her letter: "The man is very little and fat.

I don't know his name, but be said he was a lawyer and he promised to get me a letter if I paid him $5. I told him I was a poor working girl and I gave him. all the money I could get. When I gave him the $5 I told him that I was going to New Jersey and that if he didn't get the letter he could keep $3 for his trouble and send me the other $2, because I needed it." Lawyer Fenton Rockwell promptly stepped to the front and declared that he was the counsel referred to in the young woman's letter. "What have you to say to this, counsel?" asked the Magistrate.

"Is there anything I have to answer to in that, Your Honor?" indignantly demanded Mr, Rockwell. "Well," returned the Magistrate, ''this woman claims that you received from her and rendered1 no service for it." "I have been practicing law for forty years, your honor," warmly replied Lawyer Rockwell, "and I never did a mean or dishonest professional act in my life." Magistrate Teale turned to the young woman and asked: "Where did you pay him this "Here in the court room," "HoW'did he get into the matter?" "He was in the doorway and he said he would take care of my case if I paid him and I gave him "Your Honor," struck in Counselor Rockwell, -this young lady told me when she first appeared jn court that she wanted a lawyer. I told her that I was one. I did not solicit her business at all and I made two appearances for her. I tried to get her letter and found out that it was forgery.

I received no money from her until I appeared for her the second time." Letty denied this and said that on the first occasion she gave counsel the $5. "Where did you pay him the money?" asked the Court. "On the stairway, sir." Mr. Rockwell repeated his indignant denial, adding: "I don't see that I have done anything wrong in this matter, your Honor." dont w'thmrf Tlldr sransFtrK served Magistrate Teale, "but at the same time there is a disposition on the part of some lawyers to take of people entering court "I never did such a thing in my. life," warmly interrupted Lawyer Rockwell.

"Now, counsel," said Judge Teale, "what I have to say is not directed at yon at all personally. But you know and I know that there is a growing practice on the part of certain lawyers telling poor women and other poor people approaching court that they need a lawyer and can't get along without one. "Here's an instance," warmly proceeded the judge, is a hearty family man himself; "not long ago a poor woman In the Eastern District carried and pawned her blankets in order to.ay her lawyer. She slept on the bare floor after that" "If your Honor thinks that I am a man of that kind," excitedly struck in Counselor Rockwell "Xo, no, no," interrupted Magistrate Teale, "I have already told yon that I have nothing to say against you personally. nupi) Known int poor people who have business In court have a right to come here without payiag for th on the policeman's part, a young man named William Bresse, 21 years old, who gave his address as Xo.

1504 Sixth avenue, was arraigned in the Butler Street Court before Magistrate Bristow to-day on a charge1 of malicious mischief. It was alleged that he was of a party of four who have been in the habit of rifling slot machines in the neighborhood already mentioned. Policeman Murphy said that early this morning he saw a quartet of young men tampering with a weighing machine of the National Automatic Weighing Machine Company that was stationed in front ot Maga K. Poulson's drug store, on the northeast corner of Seventh avenue and Ninth street. The young men were working very industriously with a sharp implement when Officer Murphy first stepped into view.

Finally the four young men succeeded in (jg'abing the door of the money box from the machine, but in their glee they allowed it to fall upon the ground. They all turned around to see if anybody had been attracted by the sound of the door coming in contact with the flaggings, and to their great surprise they saw Policeman Murphy running toward them at a reckless speed. The young men did not stop to take the pennies from the money box, but darted off as fast as they possibly could. When they reached Twelfth street they darted up in the direction of Eighth avenue. At Tenth street one of the quartet turned to one side, and it was this person that Policeman Murphy caught.

The officer first continned towards Twelfth street in pur suit of the three escaping youths when he turned about and sauntered back to Tenth street, where he found Bressee standing on the corner with three milkmen. When questioned by Murphy whether he was one of the quartet he was chasing he became indignant, hut the officer was sure that he recognized him as one of the guilty parties. Accordingly he placed him under arrest. An examination of the weighing machine showed that it had been damaged to the amount of $10. The heavy iron door of the cash box had been broken off from its hinges and the lock as smashed.

John G. Urstadt. 34 years old, of Xo. 6fi6 East One Hundred and Fifty-third street. Borough of Bronx, a machinist in the employ of the machine company, looked the machine over and said that the men who broke it were quite clever in the handling of tools.

When Bresse was arraigned before Mag istrate Bristow in the Butler Street Court he told a very conflicting story. He stated that he had only alighted from a car a few minutes before he was arrested and that he was on his way home. He said that he was at Fourteenth street when he heard the reports of several shots and he ran toward? "Ninth street to ascertain what the trouble wa. Before making this state- menb, he slid that he had been on the corner for fifteen minutes. Magistrate Bristow remarked that there was not much evidence against Bresse and adjourned the case until Sept.

4. Bresse was paroled and was told to bring the milkmen that he was conversing with to court on that date. HEARING POSTPONED In the Injunction Proceedings Relative to Bridge Approach Contracts, The hearing the injunction issued by Justice Fitzgerald, restraining Acting Mayor Guggenheimer and the members of the East River Bridge Commission from awarding the contract for the steel and masonry approaches to the new bridge, came up on the calendar of the Supreme Court, Manhattan, and was postponed until Tuesday. i Fraud is charged by the seven firms which secured the injunction, all of them having bid for the contract, acting together. It is alleged that the specifications were drawn up with the intention of deceiving the bidders as no mention was made: therein wf tm? law with regard to The payment of prevailing rates of wages to men employed on the work.

It is also alleged that the specifications call for the use in the construction of approaches of a kind of carbon Btecl which is manufactured by one Pennsylvania firm only. There was no meeting of the New East River Bridge Commission to-day. Butchers Do Good Shooting for Frizes.

serviceable suits, made of MEL Commissioner Beam said he did not see how the rail on the Bridge could be made any safer than it is at present. There has never been a fatality by the rail on the Bridge. On the contrary, the employees step on the rail at random and are never affected in any way. They do It partly out a spirit that there may be a lurking danger, but have done the same thing successfully so many times that they really see no harm In it. They might experience a slight shock If they stepped oa the rail while wearing wet shoes, or if they touched the rail with their hands, but the shock would be very slight.

It would be impossible, however; for a man to step on both the car rati and the third rail at the same time and avoid a fatality. Mr. Beam recalled an occur-' rence where a steel square was laid across the two tracks and as a result a large round hole was burned completely through th. square.

Bode ob the Lexington Avenue Line This Morning and Was Simply Charmed Really, the Fatalities Caused by the Third Rail Are Not Worth Speaking About What Is Unman Life Compared to Money? President Rossiter, of the Brooklyn Heights Bailroad, was seen this morning, and said that he had received no communication from Deputy Commissioner Kirwin, of the Department of Public Buildings, Lighting and Supplies, regarding making the third-rail system now in use safe to life and limb.

Mr. Bossiter said: "Qf.jour5e,IjhaJl dp all within my power in the way of making any changes that may be considered as making the line more safe, that may be recommended, by Mr. Kirwin, but so far I have received no communication from him. I think that the line as it is at present is perfectly safe. We have had fatalities on the lines, but that is only to be expected.

So have other lines In other cities had fatalities, and our system of third-rail Is practical the same as in other cities. I cannot see that there is anything to be changed. The Fulton street and Lexington avenue lines are thoroughly equipped with electricity, and I think It a very fine line. I came down by It this morning, and am thoroughly pleased In every way with It," It was also said In General Manager Brockenridge's office that the engineers of the road bad found the third rail system properly safe. It was said that they had contemplated raising the foot walk np flush with the third rail.

The statement issued by Mr. Kirwin affect the Brooklyn Bridge. Nothing there can be stated definitely as to what will be done nntil Chief Engineer Martin returns from his vacation, which he ill do on Saturday next. Commiioncr John L. Shea is also out of town.
