5 515,000 OR NOTHING, BINGHAM'S ULTIMATUM He Gets Very Angry When McGowan Tells iHm He's Worth Only $10,000. MAYBE NOT THAT, SAYS METZ. A Rumor That the Commissioner Resign If He Doesn't Get the Raise. How much is the job of Police Commissioner worth? There is quite a difference of opinion. It was the subject of a lengthy discussion between Police Commissioner Bingham and President McGowan of the Board of Aldermen this morning.

General Bingham has quite an exalted idea of what the city should pay him each year for running the Police Department. President McGowan is of the opinion that the Czar of Mulberry street is entirely too extravagant in the value which he places on his services to the city. The discussion waxed so warm that General Bingham left Mr. McGowan furiously angry, declaring that unless he received $15,000 a year he would accept no increase whatever. There is a rumor that if his request is not acceded to General Bingham will resign.

For the last three months General Bingham has been after an Increase in his salary. His present compensation of year he believes is entirely inadequate, and early in the summer he sent a communication to the Board of Estimate, requesting that body to fix his salary at $15,000. It was referred to a select committee, consisting of President McGowan and Controller Metz. Immediately afterward the Hamburger investigation in Brooklyn resulted in a row between General Bingham and Controller Metz, with the result that the committee has never reported the salary matter out to the full board. When General Bingham sent in his estimate for next year he put himself down for a $15,000 salary.

The Board of Estimate, in considering the budget, chopped this down to the old figure of $7,500. The budget is now in the hands of the finance committee of the Board of Aldermen. General Bingham came down to the City Hall this morning to see about it. The big red touring car in which he drives about reached the City Hall at 10 o'clock. General Bingham went directly to the office of President McGowan.

A beautiful smile illuminates the face of General Bingham when he desires to be friendly, and this was the expression on his physiognomy when he greeted Mr. McGowan. "Mr. President." began General Bingham in a very friendly tone, "I wish to seek your assistance in regard to my salary increase." "But, commissioner," replied the president, "I cannot consistently advocate your salary increase, because I introduce a resolution in the board that the salary increases for the teachers should take precedence over all others." But General Bingham pleaded his cause 80 eloquently that President McGowan consented to withdraw the resolution he had introduced in reference to the teachers, in order that he might consistently advocate General Bingham's. "Thank you, sir," replied General Bingham, "and now that we understand each other, how much do you think I am.

worth?" "I don't think you are worth $15,000 a year," replied the president. "If I vote for any increase for you I won't vote for more than $10,000." The Bingham countenance was a study. A few minutes elapsed before he could find his voice. And then, rising from his seat, he sputtered out: "I won't accept that, sir. Good-day." General Bingham was furiously angry.

Without the consent of the other members of the Board of Estimate it will be Impossible for the Mayor to raise his salary to $15,000. It is said that so much of General Bingham's salary is expended for incidentals in connection with the performance of his duties that he has very little left at the end of the year. And that is the reason why the report has been circulated that he may tender his resignation. "So McGowan thinks Bingham is worth $10,000," said Controller Metz. "Well, I have got a say in the matter and when it comes to a vote I may not think that Bingham is even worth $10,000 a year." WALTER WELLMAN SAILS.

HARRY, THE COUPON KING, HAD PICTURESQUE LIFE Made Lots of Money by His Keen Knowledge of Human Nature. KILLED BY FALL FROM LADDER Did a Big Business in Coupons and Trading Stamps--Offered "Affin. ities" for Coupons. Behind the announcement of the death of Harry Rosenbaum, 33 years old, of 551 Fifty-sixth street in the Brooklyn Hospital a few ago lies the story of the demise of Brooklyn's most interdays, esting characters, "Harry the Coupon King." For more than five years Rosenbaum did a thriving business in exchanging, buying and selling coupons, trading stamps, soap and milk labels and other insignias that were condensed, redeemable for things of value, and caught the fancy of the thrifty housewives. Harry died from internal injuries sustained two weeks ago yesterday by falling from a ladder.

He was tacking up a new sign in front of his coupon emporium, at 45 Willoughby street, on the afternoon of October 30, when the ladder slipped and he landed on the railing in front of the shop. His injuries were diagnosed as fractures of the ribs, and at first it was thought he would recover in a few weeks. Symptoms of severe internal injurles developed, however, and the doctors were unable to save him. To Harry Rosenbaum should be given credit for giving to coupons given with various brands of tobacco, soap and other staple articles, and trading stamps of all colors and varieties, almost the value of bank notes in the eyes of the housewives. He was shrewd enough to turn his knowledge of human nature to account, and he made a tidy little sum out the whim most women have--that of getting something for nothing.

It was in the early part of 1902 that Rosenbaum hired a a little basement shop at 370 Hudson avenue and hung out signs announcing that he would pay cash for all kinds of coupons and trading stamps. He sent "sandwich men" parading through the streets bearing similar announcements in large letters. The response surprised even himself, and the results were such that in a few days he had several imitators. It seems that every man and woman who had a small horde of tobacco or soap wrappers that would redeemed in something of value, and lived within a day's travel of the Hudson avenue shop, came around with all possible haste, anxious to dispose of them for real money. In driving bargains Harry spread the glad news that the women folk who were saving certain kinds of trading stamps could get them in exchange for tobacco, soap or condensed milk Within a few weeks the trader in coupons.

coupons did such a tremendous business that, with pardonable pride, he styled himself "Harry the Coupon King," and no one disputed his right to the title. There was a pretty little profit in this exchanging of trading stamps and coupons, but Harry seldom spoke of that feature of his business. His method was to buy trading stamps for cash, and he managed to secure them at a ridiculously low figure and give them in exchange for tobacco coupons or other trade insignias of value. In the process of exchange he allowed himself a certain profit. Then he redeemed the coupons for premiums offered by the soap manufacturers or other concerns that sought trade by that method.

The premiums he would place on sale. As a rule, he disposed of premium articles at a handsome profit. In short he had profits "coming and going," 88 he once confided to a friend. About a year ago his business assumed such proportions that he found it necessary to move into large quarters. He let his brother Isaac in on the secret, turned over to him the Hudson avenue shop and opened another place at 45 Willoughby street.

Harry was a resourceful man and he showed his shrewdness on several occasions by taking advantage of the condition of the popular mind. For instance when the remarkable story of Frederick Pinney Earle, the artist, who abandoned his wife for an affinity, was talked about from one end of the country to the other, Harry advertised with a lavish expenditure of money that he would give affinities for coupons. He acknowledged himself that he had no intention of "delivering the goods," as he called it, but he kept up the bluff by setting a price of 4,000.000 coupons on affinities. He well knew that be would have no takers with 4.000.000 coupons. Harry Rosenbaum was one of eighteen children.

father 13 80 years old and lives in Austria. Harry migrated to the United States about eighteen years ago. He had been in Brooklyn about seven rears. Seven brothers and this country. He is survived by three three sisters are also to residents now of children and a widow.

BYRDOSEVELT DESTROYED CONFIDENCE IN THATS CHOICE MEATS PUBLIC CONFIDENCE DEAD. ANOTHER SUFFERER A PATHETIC CASE, PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD Bulletin. THE NEW UNION STATION AT WASHINGTON.

All the passenger trains of the Pennsylvania Railroad will enter and depart from the new Union Station at Washington on November 17, 1907, and on the same date the present station at Sixth and Streets will be closed to traffic. The date is singularly fitting. In 1807 both wings of the Capitol were completed, and now a century later a building even larger is opened for a great public utility, which did not exist at that time. The railroad terminal facilities at Washington have been inadequate for years, particularly at inauguration periods and on the assemblage of other large gatherings at the Capital. Their improvement was imperative and so it has come about that, by the combined effort of the railroads and the United States Government, one of the largest and unquestionably the handsomest railroad station in the world is now provided not only for the convenience of the citizens of the United States, but as a notable architectural addition to the great public buildings of the Capital City.

It is a monumental edifice and a worthy type of the future structures, which will make Washington the municipal beauty spot of the world. The station including the Concourse is longer than the Capitol and nearly as wide. The waiting room is larger than the hall of the House of Representatives. The concourse, which is the train lobby, is longer than the interior of the Capitol building, if it were one continuous hall, and half as wide. It is the largest building ever constructed for a like purpose.

Within this great structure there is every convenience the traveler can desire, so grouped about the central hall as to serve his purpose to the best advantage. The lofty arched entrances face a plaza as large as an ordinary city park, which will be laid out as a plaza and adorned with shrubbery and fountains. The trackage is sufficient for all demands upon it and as the entrance to and exit from the trains are separated, the confusion and jostling of hurrying crowds moving in opposite directions will be obviated. The bigness of the station is impressive; its utilities obvious. CITY'S TENANTS TO BEG FOR EXTENSION OF TIME Families in Houses on Line of Approach to Manhattan Bridge Worrying.

ORDER IS TOQUIT BY NOV. 30. Yet There's a Popular Belief That Approach Will Not Be Rushed. Poor Folks Fretting. Several hundred families living in the vicinity of Jay, Prospect and Sands streets, in the path of the proach to the new Manhattan Bridge, have been notifled by the city to vacato their premises on or before November 30.

These notices were served last Friday, and although long expected, still find tho people of the neighborhood unprepared. Notices are also posted on the houses, which state that a corporation sale of the buildings and all appurtenances will be held on Monday, November 18. The sale will be by public auction. The buildings in this neighborhood are occupied generally by the poorer class of people, who will find it difficult to secure new quarters and pay moving expenses and rent in advance. An Eagle reporter visited the district this morning and learned that there was some talk of a petition being gotten up to present to the city, asking that they be allowed to remain in the buildings until next spring and not to get out at once.

Title in the buildings passed to the city on October 8, 80 that the residents are now tenants of the city. It was claimed that some of the landlords had collected rent for October, and also wanted to collect rent for November, although in some cases rent had been returned which had been collected. A case was told of one woman who went out working each day and had to support an invalid husband and daughter, and had very hard work to make ends meet, let alone to pay for moving and rent in advance for a new place. It is no simple matter to house this large number of families in such a short time, and as none of them have 80 far moved, there will be a lot of trouble within two weeks. One landlord, William Rugo, who owns 138-142 Jay street, has been in possession of the buildings since 1861, and they were built many years before that.

Between Sands street and Prospect street stands a row brick buildings which has been there for over sixty years. All must make way for the bridge approach. A. Degenhardt, a grocer at the corner of Jay and Prospect street, said that he had been in his present quarters for Atteen years and that he did not know where he was going to move to in two weeks. He said that moving into a new district would practically mean starting business over again.

He had known, of course, that the bridge was to be built, but that the notice to vacate was short and he would be at a great loss. He strongly advocated a petition to get an extension of time. The uncertainty about the bridge has continued for years and one landlord has been unable to rent his store from the fact that he could not give a lease for any definite time. This has meant a big loss to him. All were agreed that the improvement was a necessity, but everybody said it should not have been allowed to drag out so long and that even now there was no assurance, judging from past performances that the work would go ahead with much greater rapidity.

There are some fine buildings and some tumble down ones in the path of the bridge approach, but all will have to be levelled. The sale will not bring a great deal to the city as few. if any, the buildings will be moved and there will be nothing but the timber and bricks when Allegood, the Rasch structures Co. are demolisheder of Jay and Sands streets have not yet received notice to make the alterations which will be necessary on account of part of their building coming in the road. They have their plans made and are ready to go ahead.

ADDS TO CARMANDALE. to Roy Rainey Buys Fifteen Acres at Huntington That "Dick" Carman Long Desired. (Special to the Eagle.) Huntington, L. November 13-Roy Rainey, who recently purchased Carmandale, the R. F.

Carman estate, has cured a plot of ground that naturally belongs to the estate and that R. F. Carman tried many years to secure. It includes fifteen acres and is entirely surrounded by Mr. Rainey's land except for the road frontage.

Lawrence Hellman, the owner, would not treat with Mr. Carman for its sale, and although possessed of but nothing except the little patch of land, he placed a price of $25,000 on it, and held on. Mr. Rainey's agent called on Heilman and purchased the land in five minutes. It 1s understood that the thrifty German drove a hard bargain and secured about 31,000 per acre for the plot.

BULLION FOR GOVERNMENT. Chicago, November 13-The American Smelting and Refining Company, which employs four hundred men at refining gold and silver bullion in its South Chicago plant, is filling "rush" orders for the Government by operating the works night and day.

Resent Controller Metz's Term, "Village Gossip," as Applied to Evidence Before Grand Jury. The action of Governor Hughes upon the recommendation of the October Grand Jury of Queens County in respect to the appointment of a special grand jury and the designation of a deputy attorney general. to reinvestigate the sale to the city of the Kissena Park property at Flushing is awaited with much interest by the people of that borough. The Grand Jury, in a presentment made to Justice Garretson Supreme Court, said that it had gone over the minutes of the September Grand Jury, which conducted a long investigation into the matter, and believed that the investigation should go further, and that it ought to be done by a special grand jury. action of Controller Metz in referring to the minutes of the Grand Jury, which he was allowed to inspect by County Judge Humphrey of Queens, as "village gossip" is resented by those who testifled before the jury.

The witnesses are now trying to find out just what protection they can expect from the law if they are called upon again to tell what they know about the case. Controller Metz and Thomas P. Byrnes, his real estate expert, assailed a witness at a public hearing in the controller's office a few days ago, and accused the witness of testifying falsely before the Grand Jury. Some people in Queens are asking the question whether not the minutes of the proceedings were given to Mr. Metz to use in that manner or for his personal Information.

Rob Drug Store Across Street From the Fifth Avenue Police Station. THEN A NEARBY MEAT MARKET Amuse Themseives by Carrying Of Two Hams, but Leave HindQuarter of Lamb Behind. Burglars, sneak thieves, apartment house robbers, furnished room thieves and all sorts of members of the light fingered gentry have made their appearance in South Brooklyn in the past two weeks and Captain Pinkerton of the Fifth avenue station and Summers of the Fourth avenue precinct are more than upset by the many robberies within their districts. The largest number reported have been in the Forty-fourth precinct. Last night the men-the police believe they are experts at the job-who have been getting into many stores on Sixth and Fifth avenues and generally escaping with a goodly loot, entered two stores on Fifth avenue directly opposite the police station.

The drug store of Charles F. Brennan at Fifth avenue was entered by a rear door. The panel in the door leading into the yard was forced. The burglary was committed some time between midnight and 7 o'clock this morning. The thieves found that all the money from the day's receipts had been carefully put away.

They found $3 worth of 1 and 2 cent stamps which they took. Then they tackled the automatic telephone boxes in the store. It is supposed that they cut a wire as no alarm was given when they opened the boxes. The contents of these boxes which they secured are not known, but one is belleved to have been close to $50. After burglars, had completed their work in the drug store they went to the Ideal Meat Market at 566 Fifth avenue.

They got into this store by forcing off the iron bars on the rear windows. Money was scarce in this store also, and they were force to break open a Salvation Army box and take its contents. They also carried away a quantity of meats, including two hams. A hind-quarter of lamb was found on the floor this morning near the rear window. Evidently the thieves thought better of making attempt to carry this away, or they upset the place to show their displeasure at not finding any cash.

'Three years ago every store on the block between Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets on Fifth avenue was robbed one night. Since that time the storekeepers have left little money around at night. One man this morning said: "You would think a police station across the street sufficient protection in itself. We also have a special watchman and every store is well lighted up, but we are burglarized just the same every so often." The night before last the cigar store of Schwager Sons, at 463 Fifth avenue, was burglarized when a rear window was forced open. Three hundred and seventyfive dollars worth of pipes was stolen.

There have also been a number of stores entered lately on Sixth avenue, between Third and Tenth streets. Captain Pinkerton has had these cases investigated and he hopes shortly to catch the men who are responsible. Early Monday morning four stores were robbed on Third avenue in the Fortythird Precinct. All the stores were entered in a similar manner, by forcing open a window or door in the rear. Captain Summers detalled Detectives Lynch and Harris to work on these cases.

Yesterday afternoon they arrested three boys suspicion and charged them with on vagrancy until suspicions are either confirmed or refuted. At present they have nothing very substantial against them. The boys were arraigned in the Fifth avenue court this morning and Magistrate Geismar held them in $500 bail each for bearing Friday morning. They said a they were Christian Hansen of 354 Fortyninth street. Herbert Edwards of 261 Fifty-first street end Louis Schnour of 281 Fifty-Arst street, all 18 vears of age.

They denied complicity in any robberies. AMUSEMENTS. MATINEE -ORPHEUM First Brooklyn HARRY VON TILZER DEVOY CO. RAIN DEARS Corinne COOPER and ROBINSON REIFF MAJESTIC CARSON BROS. MUSICAL 4 BROS.
