WAGNER SAYS IT IS TRUE. Prentice Supports Coroner and Issues Statement on Alleged Attempt to Whip Moose Into Line. Did William Hamlin Childs, the "dough" Moose of the Kings County Progressive organization, threaten to shut off the sinews of war from the herd unless they supported his ticket? He did, is the assertion of Coroner Ernest C. Wagner, who renounced the Bull Mooset organization after his failure to secure from them an indorsement of the Republican county ticket. Chlids says that he did not.

"It's a lie. It's absolutely false. There is not a word of truth in it," was the answer of the Bull Moose county leader when asked about the matter today. "Childs practically told the Progressive leaders that they could support his ticket or he wouldn't contribute one cent to the campaign," was Wagner's statement. "Furthermore, I know for a fact that on two occasions, as far back as last March, Mr.

Childs the said as much was fusion with readusticanter finto at a meeting of the party policy committee at the Montauk Club in March, and he told the same thing to Thomas Larkin of the Fifth when the latter went to see him on behalf of the Prentice boomers. "When Childs found out. however, that he could not get Charlie Aronstam on the Fusion ticket for County Judge, because we put Prentice over on him for Register, he got sore and refused to go ahead." "It's all false," was Mr. Childs' retort to this charge. Westervelt Prentice, who was read off the Childs' slate yesterday because of his failure to keep an alleged promise with the county leader to decline the designation for Register, came back with a prepared statement today, in which he also charged Mr.

Childs with exercising his power, as the money man, to force the local Progressives into line for his ticket. Childs, he said, had him nominated for Register on the organization slate, against his express wish. "I publicly declined to accept the and gave the reasons as published in the Brooklyn newspapers on September 2, said Mr. Prentice. "One of my reasons for declining to run was the method used in bringing about the nomination.

Can you imagine the leader of a political party getting up in a meeting of the general county committee and making the statement that he will contribute to the campaign fund, and in the next breath reading off the names of the men whom he wanted 'nominated' for the various offices. That was one of the most outrageous pieces of busithe Progressive party were very low. ness ever pulled off. The finances of and the offer of the 'big boss' appeared to be a proposition of accepting his candidates and getting a campaign contribution, or if they were turned down, no money would be forthcoming. "If my name appears on the primary ballot, it is through no fault of mine, as my public announcement was made before the distribution of the petitions, and a change could have been made before they were circulated, and I personally told the 'big boss' that I was not a candidate when he telephoned after the publication of my statement." GIRL WITNESSES CAUGHT Refugees From S.

P. C. C. Shelter Found at Coney Island. Bessie Matthewson and Josephine Cooper, the two girl witnesses in certain "white slave" cases, who escaped on September 3 from the shelter of the Brooklyn Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, on Schermerhorn street, were found last night at Coney Island.

Detectives Roddy and Kearney were at Coney Island last night and saw Bessie and Josephine on one of the stands. They questioned them, and finally got them to confess. Then the girls were returned to the children's shelter, and there they will be held, firmly, until they are needed in court. The Cooper girl told the story of the escape. She denied that they had had any help from the outside.

Their sole outfit was a sheet and a scrubing brush---the brush to be used to "knock out" anybody who tried to stop their outward progress. But they got the key to the room door from under the pillow of the sleeping guardian, and stole out into hall, and thence to the roof, by way of the fire escape. They went over more than one roof, and got to a house on Boerum place, and thence to the street. GANG SHOOTS UP SALOON. John Kane Only Victim of Kingsland Avenue Pistol "Bee."

STRIPPED ENGLAND GERMANY RIGHTS Nelson Handing THIS AUTO CRASH CASE OF ASSAULT Chauffeur Arrested on Novel Charge After Smash Up With Mail Wagon. Two automobiles came into collision with a crash that could be heard for two blocks, at the corner of Jay street and Myrtle avenue, at 11:30 o'clock last night.

touring car, owned by the Barr Bros. and run by Matthew Rouchut of 54 Concord street, on its way down Jay street, encountered a mail wagon, which was going along Myrtle avenue, driven by William Delahanty of 17 Henry street. The touring car struck the auto of the mail delivery about midway in the body, and the mail wagon driver was thrown to the street. The touring car was almost wrecked. Patrolman Sweeney of the Adams si street station was not far away when the crash came.

Delahanty, the mail wagon driver, was badly bruised, but did not appear to be seriously injured. Rouchet was arrested on a charge of felonious assault on Delahanty, for it was claimed that he was driving recklessly at the time. There was a party in the automobile, and one of them, Richard Smith of 126 Madison street, Manhattan, was locked up on a charge of intoxication. The others were permitted to go home. A lawyer from the Barr Bros.

company was in the Adams street court this morning to prosecute their chauffeur and appear as the champion of the injured diver of the mail wagon. He said that the automobile had been kept out late last night, without the authority of the chauffeur's employers, and that there had been joy riding. It was said that the chauffeur had been sent with the car to Coney Island yesterday afternoon to take a sick woman from the Coney Island Hospital to her home, in the downtown section, but she was not ready for discharge from the institution, and at Corn Limpers!

What's the use of spoiling a good time for yourself by limping around with fierce corns? It's one of the easiest things in the world, now, to get rid of them. "Gets-It" does it the new way.

Both Mr. and Mrs. Ralph H. Isham denied without qualification to The Eagle today the published report that they had separated. Mrs.

Isham is the daughter of the late Mayor Gaynor. The story intimated that Mrs. Isham would go to Nevada to start divorce proceedings on the ground of deserion. "The story is absolutely said Mrs. Isham at the Plaza Hotel.

"I cannot imagine how such a silly report originated. My husband has some Mrs. Ralph H. Isham. business affairs to attend to and that is what brought him to New York." "Then you are living together?" was asked.

"Oh my, yes!" was the reply. "And everything is running smoothly?" "Oh my, yes!" Mrs. Seward Webb a sister of Mrs. Isham, also denied the report in equally positive terms. She said: "It is simply the craziest yarn I have ever heard, and perfectly ridiculous from every point of view.

I was with my sister last night. The story of Mr. Isham's being away for months on a business trip is preposterous. He has never been away more than two or three days in connection with his work with a street railroad advertising company. There is nothing in the report, you may be sure." How Dame Rumor Told It.

The story was that, after the young couple went to Madison, N. differences arose and became more acute as time passed, and that Mr. Isham left his wife and went to live In the Yale Club in this city. Some time later, ran the account, Mrs. Isham closed the New Jersey house.

It was stated further that Mrs. Isham was considering an action in Nevada. Ralph Isham this afternoon Joined his denial to that of his wife and sister-in-law. He said: "The story is absolutely false in every particular, and I have demanded a retraction from the papers that published it. I understand the retraction will be published tomorrow.

"I have been living in the Yale Club three or four weeks, but this was because I was engaged in business matters that required my presence in the city in the evenings. As I was obliged to remain late in the city, I chose to stay at the Yale Club rather than go back to New Jersey in the evening. I suppose that fact, taken in conjunction with the fact that I had not been seen at the Horse Show. where Mrs. Isham rides, led to somebody's putting two two together and drawing a wrong conclusion.

But He Does Object to Wife's Horse Show Riding. "I am now living with Mrs. Isham in the Hotel Plaza, and everything is perfect harmony between us. We have had some small differences, due to the fact that my wife likes to ride at the horse show. I have told her that I thought this was injudicious and that I feared she might injure herself by riding jumping horses.

I do not care to go to the horse show when she rides, because I don't like to see her run chances of breaking her neck, and since she has had a child I do not think it the part of wisdom for her to continue to ride, but these differences of opinion have only been slight ones. "I intend to go abroad shortly, and Mrs. Isham will go with me. The house in Madison has been rented, but we took it only temporarily." WINTER GOWNS TO GLITTER Macy Display Reveals Gold and Silver Effects in Gowns.

Besides the brocades a number of silks in beautiful plaid and striped effects are shown. One, a black popin with a wide hairline check in white, is very effective.

grease and putty works of the Belknap, McSherry and Moran Company, 5 and 7 Ainslie street. In opinion of the firemen it was one of the hottest blazes that they were obliged to contend with in a long time. Dense volumes of thick black smoke poured from the building and made the fire exceedingly difficult to handle. The damage is estimated at $30,000. More than twenty families at 9, 11 and 13 Ainslie street were routed into the street until the danger was past.

A man who was passing the factory heard a series of explosions on the first floor, and a moment later sheets of flame swept from the front windows His shouting brought Police Captain William Shaw of the Bedford avenue station and Policeman Evans. While Evans turned in a fire alarm, the captain ran to the tenement buildings to awaken occupants. Many of them were already up, having been awakened by the smoke. Patrolmen Evans and Peters, helped Shaw get all the families safely into the street Battalion Chief Gaetons sent two extra alarms. By hard work the firemen kept the blaze from reacn ing the tenements and a large onestory brick building at 3 Ainslie street, occupied by Henry Eckstein, a flour dealer, and the big plant of the Lehr Manufacturing Company, directly opposite.

The fire was the first large blaze of its kind in the Eastern District in several months. The factory was heavily stocked and the combustibles furnished food for a very hot and destructive fire.

His body was found early this morning by his son Harold, 18 years old, and his nephew, Thomas Morgan, 30 years old, who shared the apartment with him. When they awoke they smelled gas and upon investigating, found the bedroom Goor of the elder Hennessy locked. Gas was pouring through the keyhole. They summoned Policeman Joseph Scheideler.

The elder Hennessy's body was lying on the bed clad in pajamas and the gas jet on the room was turned on full. The door had been locked ana the windows were closed tightly. Young Hennessy told the police that his father had been a victim of locomotor ataxia for more than dozen years and that of late he nada been complaining of excruciating pains.

Hennessy, who was an 8580- ciate of her husband in his business affairs and who since his last attack had been looking after his Western interests, returned today to her home from a trip to Chicago, soon after the police had left the apartment.
