Highly Medicinal Qualities ROBBED ON WILLOUGHBY ST. Benjamin Cohen Assaulted and Re lieved of Over $1,000 in Money and Valuables This Morning. The police of the Adams street station, in co-operation with Detectives McCor-mick and Lynch of the headquarters force, are investigating a story of highway robbery brought to them by Benjamin Cohen, a real estate dealer, 32 years old, whose homo Is on Ocean Parkway, between Avenues and M. Cohen staggered Into the Adams street station shortly before 2 o'clock this morning, bleeding from cuts on the head and bearing every indication of having been roughly dealt with.

He said that at about 1:40 this morning ho was walking past the corner of Willougbby and DulTield streets when he waa felled to the ground by a blow which seemed to have teen dealt from behind. He had seen no one In the street and his Impression Is that he had been followed from behind or that some one had sprung out on him from the concealment of some hallway. He did his best to protect himself, but the first blow stunned him and he was able only to make a feeble resistance. He could not tell how many assailants there were, but he had an impression that there was more than one person rn-gaged In the attack. When he recovered himself ho found that he bad been robbed of $150 In cash, a diamond stud which he values at $00 and a fob chain worth $27 more.

Ho managed to get around to the station in a pitiable plight, and Ambulance Surgeon Tousey was called to attend him. After the wound In his head had been dressed he was able to go home. The detectives of the precinct started at once to make an investigation, but up to the present time have been unable to get a clue to tbo perpetrators of the robbery. FOR SAKE OF HIS FAMILY. Stenographer Norton Was Kept in Position in Court, Although He Was in Sanitarium.

Municipal Court Judge Rosenthal of the Third District explaina the failure of lawyers to obtain copies of minutes of cases heard that court. Based upon these complaints an order was granted a few days ago by the Appellate Division of the Second Department directing John J. Norton, the official stenographer, to show cause for his failure to produce the ralnute6 in the cases referred to. Judge Rosenthal this morning said that in obedience to the order of tho Appellate Division he had communicated with Norton, who is confined in Laudeu Hall, Aml-tyvillo, L. I.

The latCer was ordered to appear before Judge Rosenthal to show cause why his position should not bo filled with a sucrossor from the official list of the Civil Servlco Commission. It is understood that Norton's mental condition Is such that ho will bo unable to appear. Norton has been ill for many months and out of sympathy for his family, consisting of a wife nnd four children. Judge Rosenthal entered into an agreement whereby the police court stenographer did as much of the work as possible and at other limes Judge Rosenthal took notes of the minutes In long hand. The trouble referred to has arisen over the condition of Norton's notes, prior to bis removal to Aralty-ville.

CONFIDENCE IS GROWING. Policy of Treasury Is Believed to Have Aided Financial Situation Greatly. Washington, November 25 Offers 'or the Panama bonds and the one year treasury certificates were still coming to the Treasury Department this morning and a feeling of greater confidence in the success of the loans seems to pre vail than at any time since their an nouncement. The news from York and other money centers, that currency payments would soon be resumed, was accepted as evidence that the policy ot the Treasury had contributed Its share to the restoration of confidence. While Secretary Cortelyou fully appreciated the fact Jn announcing the Issue of the certificates, that they might become a source of bank note Inflation to a certain extent, he believes that the character of the certificates will prevent the Inflation from assuming a dangerous character.

It Is not considered at the Treasury that the certificates themselves will' be used to any considerable extent as currency. A few may be passed back and forth in settlements between banks, where settlements In cash have not been resumed, but these would only take the place of Clearing House certificates and perhaps permit the retirement of those. Instruments sooner than would otherwise oc cur. The fact that the certificates bear Interest and are redeemable within one year are the distinguishing marks by which they are considered to differ radically from any form of currency. If they are used to Inflate the currency at all, It will be as security for bank note circulation, but this cannot last beyond the one year term of the certificates and it is believed that If banks find their circulation coming back upon them rapidly for redemption, they will retire their notes within the year, even though they continue to hold their certificates as an investment.

They will not be hampered by the limit of $9,000,000 per month 1m posed upon the retirement of bank notes, because the limit does not apply to which havo been called for re demption. The situation Is improving so rapidly that it is quite possible that allotments will not be made for the full amount of $100,000,000 which Secretary Cortelyou announced a week ago would be offered to the public. It ts declared by financial experts that even if Industrial condi tions continue unfavorable, there Is little doubt that money will accumulate rapidly in the banks after currency payments are resumed, because there will be a lack Inclination to borrow it for new enterprises. This will give the banks such a surplus that they can respond to calls from time to time from the secretary of the treasury for the surrender of public funds and these funds can be applied to the redemption of the one year certificates. Treasury officials and others who have been through previous periods of strain declare that events after a crisis always follow practically the evolution above set forth, and that this evolution of events has been fully anticipated by the admin istration.

The news that currency psynfentrwould soon be resumed was gratifying to local bankers in Washington, because It will permit the restoration of normal conditions in exchange relations. There has been no suspension of currency payments by the banks of Washington, because of large disbursements for salaries and other purposes made by the government, chiefly in currency, always keep an adequate supply afloat. In a few cases where banks havo beeu called upon to buy a large amount or New York exchange, which has depleted their cash, they have selling tne exenange 7h aM tllCTeb' fllstril" DIED AS STORM RAGED.

Tho woman was found at the corner of the Boulevard and Broadway, which is close to the East River front in the Astoria section of the city. She was standing on the corner, evidently waiting for a trolley car. Whether she was exhausted from her efforts to make her way against the storm Is not known.

To this Bonanno paid no attention. October 26 another letter came similar to the first, but lessening the demand to $300, and meking a stronger threat ot punishment for failure to hand over the money. Bonanno turned tho letter over to the police.

A man named Rizzo living on the third floor said he arrived home half an hour after midnight this morning and before he got into bed he heard some one scratching matches outside his door and shortly afterward there was a loud ex-Plosion. Everybody In tho houso was wakened by the noise, but all were so) frightened that none of them left their apartmetlts. Tho police are investigating. POISONED BY CANDY.

While the blaze, was at Its height a report spread that a child had fallen out of a third-story window, and an ambulance came up in answer to a summons, adding to the excitement. No one could find the child, however, or verify the report. The fire was caused by Mrs. Fordlan, who went into a bathroom to look for some clothing and lighted a match, which she dropped on the clothing when she heard the doorbell ring.

Tho fire was not discovered until half the floor was In a blaze. WOMAN FELL OUT OF WINDOW.

In addition to the elec tion of six directors, five of whom were re-elected to serve for a (second period of three years, and one to fill out the unexpired term of one year, caused by the recent death of Charles R. Hender son, the directors submitted their annual report to the stockholders and tho cus tomary consent wag obtained from them to place mortgages upon the property held free and clear, where it shall appear advlsablo to the directors to do so.

Baird, John D. Hicks, Clifford S. Kel-sey, Douglas Robinson and Ellis Will-lams, the only new addition to the board being Crowcll Hadden, who will complete the unexpired term of Mr. Henderson.

A unique banquet was given at Relsen- webcr's. In Manhattan, on Saturday even ing, when the New Jersey-New York Real Estate Exchange tendered a dinner to the real estate editors of the principal New York and New Jersey newspapers. As Otto Kempner, president of the exchange, who acted as toastmaster, aptly described' the occasion. It was one In which for the nonce the tables were turned upon the representatives of the newspaper fraternity, who, Instead of being present to report tho event, occupied the guest table and were assigned to the speeches of the evening. The dinner was the first public func tion given under, the auspices of the ex change, and there was an attendance considerably in excess a hundred guests, who comprised, in addition to the newspaper men, a number of representative real estate operators and brokers of New York, New Jersey, Brooklyn and Long Island.

The advance that has been made In New Jersey real estate and the important work accomplished by the New Jersey-New York Real EBtato Exchange, together with the advantages that have come through the publicity given by tho daily newspapers, were the subjects of most of the toasts. President Kempner in his opening remarks paid a tribute to the newspaper men present and said that a largo share of the credit for the general prosperity In the real eBtate world during the paBt several years properly belonged to the newspapers, whose innuence In inducing the public to recog- nizo the benefits accruing to realty in vestments had been Incalculable. The committee of arrangements comprised Welles. William Jeffery and Otto Kempner. The members of the ex change and their guests present were: Henryvjlarmon Nelll of the Evening Mall.

John Grimm of 128 Noll street was honorably discharged this, morning by Magistrate Furlong, sitting in the Adams street court, and the complaint of vagrancy, which had been made against him, was dismissed. The young man, who perfectly respectable, had been arrested by Detectives Barry and MeCros3in of the headquarters force on a Flushing avenue car.

The detectives suspected that Grimm was trying to pick pockets. Mr. Grimm was nnls way to attend! a meeting of the Hospital Eocinty of the Foresters, of which organization" ho Is a prominent member. A number of prominent Foresters have become interested In his case, and it i6 said that charges against the detectives may arise out of the arrest.

November 25 Fire about 9:30 last night destroyed a large new feed bouse and barn, with their contents, including two horses, on the Jericho turnpike, near Krug's Hotel.

Henry Rellly owned the buildings, which were the first business structures erected on the W. H. Mofllt development, formerly tbo -Emory farm. The Mineola firemen were called out to i ngiu tne names, Dut tncy naa gained such headway that the firemen's efforts wero of no avail. The Iofs on tho buildings and stock is estimated at insured.

The cause of the fire is unknown. It was first discovered In the upper story, north end. of tho feed warehouse, and spread 'rapidly. Wanted to Be Married, but Waited for Her to Get Some Pretty Dresses. EACH IS SAD FOR THE OTHER.

Police Got "Wind of Matter When They Found Stern Fapa Chasing: Young Man With Gun. Charged with abducting pretty four tccn-year-old Polopiza Plazzo of 216 Pennsylvania avenue, Frcde Colasanti, 19 years old. of 164 Hope street, was ar ralgncd before Magistrate Steers of the New Jersey avenue court, and held un der $1,000 bail for the Grand Jury. While Officers Clarkson and McKee of the Liberty avenue station were going their rounds early this morning they came across Pletro Piazzo. tho father of the girl, and Colasanti at the corner of Pltklns avenue and Junius street, in the midst of a hot discussion, which seemed to be fast leading to blows.

They approached the men, thinking it an ordinary case of disorderly conduct. The men thereupon ran, Colasanti followed by the elder man, who was flourishing a gun. For four blocks the four men gave chase, creating much excitement, and going through yards and over fences, until they reached Glenmore avenue, where the two were arrested. When taken to the station house, Piazzo surprised the officers In charge by a recital of tho cause ot the quarrel. He asserted that at' 7 o'clock Friday morning Frede had taken his child from her home and had secreted her from him and that, at the time of the arrest, he wag but demanding the restoration of the girl to her home.

The boy admitted the accusation to the officers and wag arraigned before Magistrate Steers of the New Jersey avenue court ou the charge o( abduction. The father was held for carrying a gun without a license. When in court the young man asserted that he took Polopiza away because she had said that her parents were treating her cruelly, and she wanted to gut married, and that he fully Intended to become her husband. At first be took the girl to his home at 164 Hope street, but his parents objected to this, and he thereupon moved to the house of his sister-in-law, Lucy Fatica of 179 Columbia street, where they lived as man and wife, only waiting until Poloplza's dresses should arrive, when they intended that the marriage should take place. Tho young girl, who asserts that sho Is 14, although bcr parents insist that sho is hut 12, and who is extremely good-looking, at this Juncture entered the court room and reaffirmed the story given by the young man concerning tho ill-treatment at the hands of her parents, and their common desire and plans to get married.

When the magistrate decided to hold the youth for the Grand Jury, the girl burst into tears, and begged that ho and she should only be allowed freedom to marry. "I went away," sho said, "ot my own free will, and don't want to be separated from Frede." She was taken to the Socipty for the Prevention or Cruelty to Children. Her father, on tho charge of enrrying weapons without a permit, was held under bail for examination December 3. STORM HIT CONEY HARD. Much Damage Is Done to the Beach.

Wreck of Twenty Years Ago Is Uncovered. The stiff nor'easter that struck town last night did more damago to the Coney Isltind beach than a steam shovel could, and In several places more than six feet of sand was carried away. At a point near Sea Gato a schooner was driven ashore about twenty years ago and tho heavy seas soon made a tomplete wreck of the vessel. The shifting sands during the many storms after that time succeeded in taking sand away from that part of the beach east of tho boulevard and depositing It down toward the Sea Gate end. Tho remains of the old wreck wero completely burled In time and those who did not recall the date when the schooner was driven ashore wore unable to locate tho spot until this morning.

The sand was almost entirely carried away from what is left of the schooner and for a long stretch along the beach the sand has been dug out. Over on tho Gravesend Bay Hide of Coney Island the wind blew several small boats ashore and caused tho bay to cut up in great shape. The wind was directly on the beach and It howled through the houses close to tho beach and made things decidedly uncomfortable. On the other aide of Gravcsend Bay at Bath Beach and Bpusonhurst it was a different story. The wind from the northeast, of course, was off tho land and did not get a chance to rough the water close inshore, thereby preventing serious damage.

Bath Beachites are always fearful of sou'east-ers and arc also on the lookout for southwest winds, both of which are directly on tho beach, but a northeast, gale has no terrors for tho property owner along the beach. FREEPORTSHORES SUBMERGED Storm Brought an Unusually High Tide Damage on Ocean Front May Be Heavy. (Special to the Eagle.) Freport, L. November 25 Tho heavy northeast wind and rain storm which raged Saturday night and yesterday, caused an unusually high tldo, flooding the meadows and beaches and making navigation on tho bay dangerous. Point Lookout Beach, a wide strip of which has been cut away during the fall by the ravages ot the sea, necessitating removal of many summer cottages, felt the effects of the storm, but the w'nd was more from the bay I'd than the ocean, and saved the sandhills from fui-thcr devastation.

No report has been received from the beach, communication by telephone having been cut off by the storm yesterday. Cottage owners and tho managers of the Nassau-by-the-Sea Company, which owns a number of bungalows at the beach, are hopeful that the storm did not do heavy damage. $50 WORTH OF CLAMS LOST.
