PAGES, INCLUDING PICTURE SECTION. THREE CENTS FIRST TRAIN RUN THROUGH TUNNEL, Invited Party of Engineers and Railroad Men Use Three Cars. SLOW TRIP OF 15 MINUTES This Was From Battery Entrance to Borough Hall Station Here. SHUTTLE SERVICE IN 30 DAYS. Tube Is in Pretty Good Shape, and Very Little Seepage Is Noted- -The Guests of the Company.

At exactly 12:55 P.M. amid the pealing of the big bell on Borough Hall the first train to be run through the Brooklyn Tunnel arrived at the Borough Hall station. Its arrival marked the realization of a dream which has existed for many years 1 in the minds of, Brooklynites. It is over five years ago since the contract was signed for the ManhattanBrooklyn tunnel under the East River, which united the two boroughs. The date was September 11, 1902, and at that time a three-year limit was placed on the completion of the contract which was let to the Interborough Construction Company.

An extension of time was granted in September, 1905 to September 11, 1906, but this had also to be extended. Delays and troubles of various kinds prevented an earlier finish of the work. About two hundred offcials, invited guests and newspaper men made the initial trip. The train consisted of two motor steel cars and one copper "trailer," which was placed in the middle of the train. The start was made from the Wall street subway station (west platform) at At 12:40 the train entered the north tube of the tunnel.

The south tube would be the natural one to make the trip across in, but as this is not fipished yet, the train had to he reversed, and what was the front end coming down from Wall street to Bowling Green, became the rear end in crossing in the tunnel. Very Little Seepage. The interior of the tunnel presented a fine appearance. Persons who had made the initial trip upder the East River in the Forty-second street, tunnel under Blackwell's Island, the Brooklyn tunnel was much drier. There did not seem to be very much seepage at any place.

The tunnel is well lighted and all the work could be seen plainly. The third rail is on the same side as in the Manhattan subway and at times from the rear of the car could be seen flashes of light which had the appearance of a small-sized display of fireworks. This was attributed to any roughness which might be on the contact rails. A line of fire hose extends along the side which nozles at frequent intervals. There is not a great deal of room in the tunnel after a car gets in it: The run across was accomplished infifte en minutes without a stop.

Of course, no attempt was made at speed. The train was kept moving slowly in order to allow those making the trip to see the tnuuel and its construction. The officials of the Interborough Rapid Transit Company, engineers, members of the Public Service Commission and of the old Rapid Transit Board were among those who made the trip. August Belmont was on board, as well as the following: Public Service Commissioner Edward M. Bassett, Cornelius Vanderbilt, George Cromwell, borough president of Richmond; William J.

McAdoo, Ralph Peters, president Island Railroad; H. H. Vreeland, president Metropolitan Street Railway Company; Roy M. Maltbie, expert Public Service Comtraction, Pierce, William Winter, president Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company; Max Schmidt, John Hettrick, secretary to Mr. Belmon; R.

The conductor was J. J. Brown and in addition there were two electricians. Luncheon in Borough Hall Station. pose passengers the arrival left the at train Borough and Hall partook all the of a luncheon, which was served on the platferm of the station.

The train after waiting about half an hour returned to Manhattan with those who wished to get back quickly. A return trip was made for those who were not taken over from Borough Hall on the first trip. Hundreds of people who were attracted by the ringing of the bell were lined up outside the Borough Hall station entrance. WOMAN FOUND DEAD IN BED. Lillian Curtis, 23 years old, who resided at Neptune avenue and Ocean Parkway, Coney Island.

was found dead in bed at that place this morning. Patrolman Oliver Mott of the West Eight street station, reported death and the coroner WAS notified. THE EAGLE WILL NOT BE PUBLISHED TO-MORROW. FEATURES OF THE TUNNEL. Many Interesting Appliances Being Used in the Under-River Tube.

The distance from Bowling Green to Borough Hall is 1,6 miles, and the length' of the tube proper is 1.2 miles. The distance from center to center of the two tubes is 28 feet. The inside diameter of the tubes is 15 be it it it feet 6 inches. The lowest part of the tubes are 95 feet below the mean high water. The lowest part of the tube in the center is 40 feet below the bottom of the river.

The grade down from New York to the bottom of the tube and from the bottom of the tube up to Brooklyn is 3.1 per which is the same grade as that under the Harlem River, under which cars have been operated for upward of 'Ventilating shatts. have been provided on the New York shore and on the Brooklyn shore, which will be equipped with very large capacity ventilating machinery. The ventilating shafts will also be equipped with emergency stairways. The tube is lighted by an independent lighting system. It is not in any way connected with the third rail.

Therefore, should at the power or current g0 off the rail, the lights in the third" cars will be extinguished, but the lights lighting the tunnel, which are arranged along on each of the side walls, will still continue to burn. This independent lighting circuit is arranged on two separate circuits, so that it a short circuit occurs on one of the lighting mains the other one will still continue to burn. Chief Engineer George H. Pegram explains and points out that, while the alignment of the tunnel had necessarily been made to a very large degree with considerable curvature, the great care that had been exercised in its and the elevation of the tracks to suit the curvature has been accomplished to such a degree of perfection that a passenger riding in the car can scarcely perceive that the track was curved. When passing down the grade from the New York side about half way down the grade towards the center of the river there is what is known as a sump, and there is a similar arrangement about half way, up the grade towards the Brooklyn side, and still another one at the bottom or low point of the tunnel.

Each of these sumps is equipped with air lifts and pumps sufficient to handle a very large volume of water. Each of these sumps is connected from one tube to the other, which makes it possible for workmen to: pass from one tube to the other in the performance of their duty. Each of these tubes is equipped with a 3-inch city water main, running the entire length of the tube with connections for hose the entire length of the tube, about every 300 feet. The trolley rail is of special section, rolled in an umbrella shape, secured from the bottom section of the rail by means of insulators to the track ties and protected above the top by means of an insulating board. The trolley shoes pass under the bottom of board and on top of the rail.

On each side of the track. is constructed what is known as a bench wall made of concrete. In this bench wall the cable ducts are constructed. A large number of these cables have already been installed. The ends are now sticking out and could be very plainly seen as the inspection train passed by.

The elgnaling system through the tubes is being rapidly installed and will be of the type known A8 the track circuit overlapping block signals. Same will be equipped with automatic train stops. In the office at the south end of the Bowling Green station on Manhattan Island are a number of very ingenious safety devices which have been installed for the purpose of controlling the movement of trains and the ventilation of the tube. The man in charge in this office will have a miniature track model; with the signals thereon, which will indicate by means of colored lights the exact location of each train at each time through the tube. There is also arranged a system of wiring, running to the Interborough office, which will enable the operator to tell the exact location of a train and permit this man to cut the power on or off the third rail or lighting system from his office.

It also has been wired SO as to place the operation of the ventilating machinery in this man's hands, so that he can start the machinery up from the offlce or stop it. A separate and independent telephone system has been installed running through these tubes in to the same office at Bowling Green: on Manhattan Island. These telephones are arranged all through the tubes every 300 feet apart and at the same points each 300 feet apart ig arranged a device for automatically tripping the circuit breakers in the power houses. These circuit breakers can either be tripped at each point 300 feet through each tube or tripped by the man in charge in the Bowling Green office on Manhattan Island. The circuit breakers referred to are a device which cuts the power in and out of the third rail.

ALL OVER A CAT. Woman Claims Man Mistreated It. He Say's It Fainted and He Tried to Revive It. "Your Honor, the cat fainted and threw water on her head to revive her." This was the apparently plausible explanation given by Joseph Ledoyzar of 697 Leonard street when arraigned in the Manhattan Avenue Court this morning on a charge of cruelty to animals. According to the testimony of Mrs.

Josephine James of 676 Manhattan avenue she had been standing in the window of her home on the second floor when she recognized Ledoyzar emerging from the cellar with a small feline with a decidedly damp appearance. She alleges that he then proceeded to beat the cat with a club and when he had finally tired of this amusement threw the animal over the fence. Mrs James was so shocked by the cruelty the notified the S. and the arrest followed. But the prisoner's of the story entirely differed from that of his accuser He said that he had been appealed to by one of the tenants to protect the from a particularly ferocious bulldog.

But the cat fainted from fright and he in the Interests of humanity took the animal into the cellar to revive it. He then gently took the cat by the neck and dropped it into the next yard, thinkIng that in doing so he was performing a humane act. The stories of the two differed SO widely that Magistrate 0'Reilly decided to hold the prisoner for Special Sessions. SHOT WIFE AND HIMSELF. Springfield, 0., November 27-Charles a well to do farmer, near Vienna Cross roads, shot his wife early to-day three times as she sat in a chair waiting for him.

M. Shepard Another. Bureau, 608 Fourteenth street. Washington, November 27-William Jennings Bryan has told his friends that he does not wish the support of Senator P. H.

McCarren in the Democratic national convention. and is encouraging McCarren's enemies in Brooklyn to get busy and elect anti-McCarren delegates to the nominating convention. It agserted that Bryan is doing business with 18, Augustus Van Wyck, who has been designated to lead the fight for Bryan delegates against McCarren. This i8 the interesting story that is being told to-day by the political intimates of Bryan who have talked with him about the New York situation. Bryan realizes that he is up against a hard proposition in getting anything out of New York State.

Hearst and the Independence League are against him; "Fingy" Conners and the regular state organization are hostile, and in Brooklyn McCarren has his knife the Nebraskan. Tammany alone out, appears to be loyal to Bryan and there are certain to the condition under which he will have the support of the tiger organization. One of Bryan's personal managers, who has had him in charge during his recent Eastern tours, said to the Eagle correspondent to-day: "Mr. Bryan wants it distinctly understood that he does not seek or wish the political support of Patrick H. McCarren.

He believes McCarren to be a corruptionist in politics and that any aid received from him would be tainted. Bryan has active friends in Brooklyn who will protect his interests and see that the voters have an opportunity to express their preferences free from McCarren's dictation. fight is to be made against McCarren's control of the Brooklyn delegation, and the start will be made at the primarles and continued to the end." The Bryan managers evidently expect the support of the loose ends of Brooklyn Democracy which have waged warfare upon McCarren in the past. Augustus Van Wyck will have the Bryan Indorsement for election as a delegate, and it is said that Bryan would like to who are said to be in the anti-McCarren Have bim made the head of the New York delegation. Other a Brooklyn men fight for Bryan are Register Boulton, A.

H. Eastman the Citizen's Union. James Shevlin, William Hoge, Sheriff Flaherty and Edward M. Shepard. Flaherty was expected to attend the Bryan dinner given here last night by Washington Democrats, but he failed to show up.

Bryan expected Flaherty to make a speech, but the Brooklyn man got lost somewhere between here and Jamestown. Certain developments of the past few days indicate very clearly to observant politicians that Hearst is against Bryan and that a truce was not patched up at the meeting at Hearst's house, which William Astor Chanler stumbled upon when he called upon Hearst In connection with the Chanler-Hearst libel suit a tew weeks ago. There was not a single Independence Leaguer of note at the Bryan dinner last night. J. J.

Hagan, representing Tammany, said that the Wigwam would be for Bryan "if the issues are trusts and tariff." The banquet last night was a great success as a blow -out for the non-voting Democrats of Washington, but as a testimonial to Bryan of the leading Democrats of the county was a failure. Less than a score of the 500 diners were men of national reputation, although the committee attempted to dragoon to the affair every leader of any moment from coast to coast. Bryan's speech evoked tremendous enthusiasm and was warmly commented upon. There was a lot of talk of the election of Tom Johnson to manage the Bryan campaign, the nomination of the Nebraskan being accepted as a forgone conclusion. MR.

AUKAMP A FREE MAN. His Marriage to Victoria Meturin Annulled by Court. The marriage of William T. Aukamp of 993 Sterling place, Brooklyn, was to-day annulled by a decree handed down in the Supreme Court by Justice Davis, in Manhattan, on the ground that when the ceremony was performed which made Vietoria Aukamp his wife she had another husband living, from whom she had not been divorced. The Aukamp marriage took place on September 17, 1906.

Daniel Dater testifled that he married Victoria Meturin in Elizabeth, N. on August 15, 1898, and that she was the same woman who married Aukamp. POLICEMAN IS PRISONER. Charged With Assault by 'Two Men, Who Aileged He Beat Them. John Maroney, the policeman of the Brownsville station- who it is alleged on Sunday clubbed several Italians 50 severely that one of them was taken to the hospital, was a prisoner himself to-day in the New Jersey avenue court, charged with assault by the men whom he had beaten.

Maroney, who was atraigned before Magistrate Steers, was paroled in the custody of Captain Franks of the Brownsville station and his examination set for December 3.

SULTAN'S TROOPS DEFEATED. Two Days Battle in Which They Were Forced to Retreat. Paris. November 27-A cablegram received here from General' Drude, commander of the French forces in Morocco, recites that a sanguinary engagement, lasting two days, has occurred between tribesmen near Rabat. On the one side was a force fighting for Abd-el-Aziz, the sultan of record, under command of General Bagdani, while on the other was the Chaoula tribe, constituting a column of the army of Mulai Hafid, the sultan of the South.

During the beight of the battle the Zaida tribesmen, who were fighting for Abd-el-Aziz, suddenly went over to the enemy, after which this sultan's column wag forced to retreat, losing several cannon. The casualty list on both sides was large. OILER'S HORRIBLE DEATH. His Face Literally Eaten Away by Teeth of Cogwheel in Laurel Hill Plant. David Nichole, a laborer employed in the chemical works at Laurel Hill, died in St.

John's Hospital, Long Island City, last night, the victim of a horrible accident. Nichols was engaged yesterday in oiling some machinery in the mill room when his coat caught in the machinery. Before the man could make an effort to save himself he had been dragged up to a big cog- wheel and it literally ate away his face. He was found by Harry Croston, foreman of the department, lying on the floor, and a call was sent to St. John's Hospital for an ambulance.

In order that the unfortunate man could breathe Dr. Hurley of the hospital had to cut a slit in bis throat. That WaS done to increase his chances of recovery, but he died after hours of intense agony. At the hospital it was said to be one of the worst cases that had ever come under the attention of the surgeons. Nichols was married and leaves a wife and one young child.

His home was at 886 Driggs avenue, Brooklyn. At the chemical works those in charge could offer no explanation for the They said they could not understand how it could occur. Last week two men employed in the place were terribly burned by molten metal, and the week preceding that a jury in the Supreme Court at Flushing returned a verdict for $20,000 in favor of an employe of the chemical works who had both eyes burned out by the explosion of a pipe filled with acid. ANXIOUS HOURS FOR FISHERS. Taken Off Stranded Schooner Eliza Rhodes by Life SaversFloated To-day.

Captain William Rheinhart and crew of the Rockaway Life Saving Station at Arverne, last night at 11:30 o'clock, took nine Brooklyn fishermen off the auxiliary schooner Eliza Rhodes, Captain Christian Keeling of Canarsle, as the disabled craft was being tossed about like a. cork on the rough seas off the Arverne Hotel. Early yesterday morning the party left Canarsie for a day's codfishing. During the afternoon the salls were blown away and the engine broke down. Captain Keeling had to anchor off Rockaway Point.

The sea was running high, and when another fishing party ventured to take off the fishermen, it was impossible to get alongside the Rhodes. On one turn, when this boat did get close, she stove a large hole in the upper part of the Rhodes' hull, and one of the fishermen maanged to clamber aboard. Giving up the effort to take off the remainder of the party, the boat put into Rockaway Inlet to get assistance. After laying at anchor off the Point for five hours, swept by heavy seas, the anchor cable parted, and the Rhodes drfited eastward. When abreast of the Arverne Hotel, another anchor was rigged up with a chain, and this one held.

At 11:30 o'clock last night a surfman from the life- saving station saw the signals of distress on the Rhodes and hurried to summon the crew. Captain Rheinhart and his crew manned a surf boat and went to the disabled craft's assistance. The remaining nine fishermen were taken off, but Captain Keeling and his mate, John Baldfield, refused to leave their vessel and remained aboard all night. At 11 o'clock this morning, assistance came from Canarsie and towed the Rhodes to that place. Those who were taken from the boat were George A.

Ryan, John J. Moran, John McGuinn, M. Wauser, George Bonderleir, Charles Mayerdiesks, Otto Kuennler. J. J.

Forshay and Louis A. Schneider, ail of Brooklyn. They spent the night at the life-saving station, and left for their homes on an early morning train, none the worse for their experience. FOUND DEAD IN HOME. Nathaniel Hallock of 524 Grand St.

Discovered by Son--Gas Was Turned On. Nathaniel Hallock, 72 years old. a salesman, living at 524 Grand street, Williamburg, was found dead in a rear room of his home early last evening. He was alone in the house at the time, but was found by a son. Henry Hallock, of 436 Irving place, who called at the house to see his father.

As he entered the house he detected a strong odor of escaping gas, but received no reply to repeated calls. He traced the odor to a rear room and found his father lying on the floor. unconscious, and with a tube trom the gas stove open. He hurriedly summoned an ambulance from the Eastern District Hospital, but Dr. Rivkin proLounged the man dead on arrival.

No cause for suicide could be given by either the wife or son, and it is thought probable that the tube was loosened accidentally and that the old man was overcome before he could replace it.

After Release, However, He Appeared to Be in Good Spirits-Story of the Tragedy. It is not likely that Coroner Brewer will hold the inquest into circumsurrounding the death Howard the, Maxwell, former president of the Borough Bank, for a day or two. Mr. Maxwell died, as had been expected, and as was foreshadowed in the Eagle yesterday, very 8000 after he had been taken to the Long Taland College Hospital in the 8m- bulance. He got there at about 2:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and his death took place at about 5:15 o'clock.

There bad been little hope for him from the moment of his admission, although the doctors there adopted heroic measures to keep life in him. But he was unconsoious when brought to the hospital, and the loss of blood had been so excessive that it seemed that there had been almost utter exsanguination. At the house of the dead man, 182 Congress street, a fine mansion, detached, four stories and basement, was no admittance to the members press, there. no statements given out, and all that could be learned of the circumstances surrounding the suicide had to be supplied by the police and the surgeons who were called in. The servants and a trained nurse had been silenced, and it was only at second hand that the details of the circumstances surrounding the tragedy could be learned.

Maxwell Asked for a Razor at the Jail. That Maxwell had decided to end his life after his visit to the courthouse on Monday night, is the belief of many of the officials the jail. It de the opinion of these officials that he tried to get hold of a razor on two occasions, by asking for a shave. It is said to have been due to the extra precaution taken by Warden Maurice Carmody and his deputy, John J. Flynn, that Maxwell was not allowed to get a razor.

Several times he is said to have asked the warden to let him have a razor, statIng that he wished to shave and expressing great disappointment when his request was not granted. Mr. Maxwell's wife and sister were at the jail when the order came to produce him in court. Deputy Sheriff Arthur Quinn was detailed to take Maxwell to court, and when he appeared with the former bank presideni the women apparently expected to be allowed to accompany him. They were kinGly informed that this would not be permitted.

Maxwell, then at the foot of the stairs, turned and kissed his wife and sister, saying: "I will be home with you in an hour or so." When Maxwell learned that he would to return to jail because of the failure of some of the bondsmen to anpear he became more depressed than ever. When passing Willoughby street, near Fleet place, he asked if he might be allowed to purchase a tooth brush. He was taken into a drug store and bought a brush, paying therefor 25 cents. Special Guard Placed Over Maxwell at the Jail. He had gone but a short distance after leaving the drug store, when he turned to Deputy Quinn and said: "Now, can't I go into a barber get a shave?" Quinn replied in the negative.

No words were spoken by Mr. Maxwell from this point to the jail. His head hung well down, his eyes were half closed and occasionally a heavy sigh would escape his lips. Maxwell had not been back in the jail long before he again asked if he might be permitted to get a shave. He stated that he was able to shave himself.

He was told that persons there were not permitted to have razors, or other sharp instruments, and replied that he could not see why there should be any objection to his shaving himself. Some of the jail officials who observed Maxwell, express the opinion that he was made temporarily insane by his disgrace and the desertion of those whom he had considered his friends. He spent most of his time lying face down in his cell with a blanket wrapped about his head and shoulders. Warden Carmody noted the peculiar actions of the former bank president shortly after he had been admitted and he kept him under surveillance at all times after this, a guard being stationed in front of his door. When the sad news came yesterday, the warden expressed the opinion that, he had not erred in his judgment by exercising extra precaution during Mr.

Maxwell's stay in jail. One of the keepers, referring to Maxwell while in the jail, said: "He acted and moved like a man in a trance all the time he was bere." Maxwell Gave No Sign of Depression After His Release. Inquirers at the Maxwell house yesterday found out that Mr. Maxwell had not seemed particularly depressed when he got to his home on Monday evening after his release from the Raymond street jail, on bail that had been furnished by his sisters, Ethan Allan Doty, John C. Brackenridge and the Illinois Surety Company.

He left court in the company of his attorney, Isaac R. Oeland, of 60 Wall street, and took dinner with the lawyer in a downtown restaurant. Mr. Oeland was of the opinion that his client was feeling pretty well. When he had been called to the court to plead to the indictment he was trembling and nervous, much more 90 than his associates in trouble, Gow and Campbell, and those who saw him then were of the opinion that he was in a suicidal mood.

But on his release he seemed to have cured a grip on his nerves and the dinner with his lawyer passed off most satisfactorily, apparently to each. Maxwell went home unaccompanied and went to bed at an early hour. Maxwell Seemed Jubilant Over a Friend's Offer of a Loan. It was true that the entire house had been upset over the events following the closing of the bank, and Mrs. Maxwell had been nervous and was under the care of trained nurse.

The other occupants the house were the nurse's son. a maid. Annie Scott. and the butler, Rudolph Reed, a negro. They all seemed to feel Continued on Page 3.

Charged with carrying concealed weapons, Tony Zito, an Italian, a flagman for the Long Island Railroad at Long Island City, was arraigned yesterday in the Jamaica Court of Special Sessions before Judges Ryan. Fleming and O'Keefe.

He pleaded guilty to the charge, and in his defense his lawyer stated that the loaded revolver found in his client's possession had been given him by a couple of children who had found the weapon in a vacant lot. Zito was sentenced to sixty days in the Queens County jail. Charles Perfulch. an Italian of Long Island City. arrested on the charge of stealing caulking lead valued at $3 from S.

If the husband does not claim his wife and child at the landing they will be ported. Thomas Carro. an Italian, of Corona, charged with having in his possession two wild birds, starlings, which he had shot in Squire's woods, Forest Hills, was discharged by the court.

There was a question as to whether the birds were really wild birds, and as the complaining officer did not profess to be an ornithologist. the birds had to be produced for the satisfaction of the court. The birds, which were by this time pretty strong evidence. were examined with withheld breath by the judges and witnesses. It was hard to decide of what breed the birds were, and Carro was discharged.

STOLEN GOODS IN CHIMNEY. Hempstead Negro Couldn't Tell How They Came There--Locked Up to Await Examination. (Special to the Eagle.) Mineola, L. November 27-Sheriff Fred E. Gildersleeve, Under Sheriff Joseph Foster, County Detective William Hults Constable Phineas A.
