MISCELLANEOUS. MISCELLANEOUS. MISCELLANEOUS. MONOPOLY IN MEDINA OLDER II THE HILLS GIRL TICKET-AGENT ON R0B8E0 BY ARMEO MEN Washington's Birthday -AT Atlantic City WEEK-END OUTING nopoly as organized by Wall Street 'jankers, brokers and lawyers. John J.

Ryan, a Medina lawyer, who had led the geological expedition back to the Paleozoic age, took the jurors on a fanciful trip along tbe Medina sandstone belt, so that they could see with their own eyes that the sandstone business was controlled by a monopoly, no matter if Mr. Coler did deny It. Mr. Ryan, a one of the Eagle's counsel, wanted to convince the jurors that this monopoly was controlled by the Orleans County Quarry Company, whose records showed stock issued to Mr. Coler's firm, and that control was partially accomplished' through an allied company, the Albion-Medina Stone Company.

The community of Interest between these two companies had already been shown. "would do so much for you if you would take it, 'twould strengthen you and do you good every way."

ARCHBISHOP FARLEY THERE. Sermon by Bishop McDonnell Many Prelates on Hand to Make the Event Impressive.

A magnificent ceremony this morning, at the Church of Our Lady of Lourdes, Aberdeen street, near marked the close of the year of the golden Jubilee of the apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary Bernadette at Lourdes, France. The Most Rev. Archbishop John Farley of the Archdiocese of New York, celebrated the solemn pontifical high mass in person, assisted by the Right Rev. McN'amara, Ticar general of the Frooklyn diocese, and a number of other distinguished clergymen. Bishop McDonnell preached an eloquent sermon on the miracles at Lourdes, which was listened to with breathless attention by the thousands in the church.

Every seat was taken long before the services began, and every foot of standing room was crowded by devout worshippers all through the mass. Nearly fifty priests from New York and Brooklyn churches formed the procession at the beginning of the mass. A score ol the monslgnori. In their purple habits, Bishop McDonnell in his official robes and wearing the episcopal ermine hood, and priests in their richest vestments, preceded and followed the archbishop, attired in his mitre and bearing his episcopal staff, In the procession. The archbistoy occupied a throne at one side of the altar, and Bishop McDon- nell sat at the other side on a similar I throne.

The beautiful church with the representation of the original grotto at Lourdes behind the high altar, presented a rich sight such as has been seen but few times in the history of the diocese. During the progress ol the mass, a special musical programme was rendered by the choir, under the direction of Mme. Francis Olllette-Rhule. The choir Interpreted Fllke's "Cecilian Mass," and the "Ave Maria" was special number. In liis sermon.

Bishop McDonnell, who wa. an excellent voice and could ba heard In every part of the large church, reviewed the story ot Bernadette and the apparitions at the grotto of Lourdes. He pic-lured the simple life of the peasant shep-Jvrd girl, and told with great detail he apparitions and of their effect upon the people of the little town. He called rarticular attention to the words of the Apparition, at one of the last visions, I am the Immaculate Conception," and pointed out that this gave direct proof of he truth of the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception which had been promulgated by the Pope but three or four years before, in 1854. In closing he made an eloquent appeal to the congregation to bear in mind the virtues ot simplicity and faith, and prayed that the Virgin would aid his people to live with humility of heart and strong faith that Christian laws Bhould rule and Christ's kingdom come upon earth.

Bishop McDonnell then read a message from Pope Plus sent to htm to be read at the service this morning. The message contained Ihe blessing of the Holy Father for the archbishop, the bishop, the pastor, the priests, the people of the parish and all pilgrims to the church who were believers in the faith. At the conclusion of the mass the people who were fathered along the aisles through which the procession passed, received the blessing of the archbishop and the bishop. The clergymen then were the guests of the Fathers of Mercy at dinner in the old church. ihe clergy present Included the Most Rev.

Mon-I Nature Established It Before She Began to Erect rVloun-. tains on the Earth. ORLEANS COMPANY GOT IT. An Interesting Chapter in Geology for the Jury in the Coler-Eagle Libel Suit. After trailing one Medina sandstone monopoly bark to the Paleozoic age, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle's counsel, in the Coler libel suit, used up most of to-day trying to show a more modern monopoly controlled by the quarry company that Mr.

Color's firm helped organize At 2:30 this afternoon Mr. Coler's counsel and the Eagle's counsel were still fighting over the monopoly question. Mlra beau L. Towns, for Mr. Coler.

was trying to make the jurors believe there were eighteen Independent quarries, and the Eagle's counsel were emphasizing the fact that only four or five quarries outside the so-called monopoly had been testified to as having been operated In 1906. James T. Craffey, a witness employed by the alleged monopoly, testified that there were five outside quarries working in 1906 to his own knowledge. He had a list of eighteen quarries not in the combination, but he named only five that were oper ated. justice dark announced that there would be no seBalon to-morrow.

Responsibility for the original sand hiuub monopoly was fixed, and the primary cause of the Coler libel suit re vealed by the developments In oourt late yesterday afternoon and to-day. The genesis of the libel suit dates back much runner than time when Jacob W. Mack asked Governor Roosevelt to re move controller Coler. That was nnlv nine years ago, whereas this Medina sandBtone affair began many millions ot years according to evidence nnvraii oy tne Eagle's counsel. Going Back to the Paleozoic Age.

A mighty queer freak of nature broueht about the whole trouble between Mr. ooier ana the Eu e. Tt w. wonderful natural phenomenon that lifted peculiar sandstone some thousands of feet in one little spot around Medina. But for that, there wouldn't have bees any Medina sandstone; but for the Medina sandstone there wouldn't have been any Medina Quarry Company for Mr.

Coler's firm to help organise; and but for that quarry company and Its successor the Eagle wouldn't hint nun. dished the articles on which Mr. ColeH fa su- To undersUnd the" wboli case thoroughly you must go back to the Deginning. The Jurors were led back through the dork ages of the past to that time when life was In a sort of tadpole stage, and backbones were Just coming Into fashion. The twelve men looked on while the lawyers delved in the mysteries of the Silurian period, and sought to get on the records things that happened some several millions of years before Noah's flood.

Geology Isn't a light subject, but that geological expedition muit have been positively fascinating to the Jurors after days and days of contracts, minutes of directors meetings and other "documentary evidence. The testimony as brought out by the Eagle's own counsel absolved Mr. Coler from any connection with the Medina sandstone monopoly as originally established. In fact, all the geological evidence put in by the Eagle was Intended to show that It was originally a natural monopoly. The Eagle tried to connect Mr.

Coler's firm with only the latter day quarry monopoly, which the Eagle's lawyers claimed was an organization of men to take advantage of the natural monopoly. Mr. Craffey Goes Into Mattsrs of a Prehistoric Nature. The Eagle's first witness as to the happenings of the Paleozoic age was James Craffey. He was unable to swear definitely concerning events that occurred so long ago.

He was a graduate ot Yale, and testified that he had studied geology, but he wouldn't commit himself to tbe statement that Medina sandstone belonged to the Silurian period. So far as his testimony was concerned, the jurors didn't know whether Medina sandstone belonged to the Devonian system of the Paleozoic age or TriaBslc system ot the Mesofcolc age. However, the Eagle's lawyers' were not disheartened, but went right ahead "to prove that the stone was of the Silurian period. It seerns that some old-time geologist went into South Wales and studied the rocks there. Because good old King Caradoc of an ancient British tribe called Silurrs, had dwelt there, the geologist called the characteristic rocks of the country Silurian rocks.

So King Curadoc and his long, dead tribesmen come to figure in a Brooklyn lttjel suit. Among the rocks was a red sandstone, retilly Medina sandstone, but the geologists had never heard of Medina, N. at that time. Orleans County Has the Only Surface Outcropping. According to tne eagles siae ot toe there.

The upheaval by which this stone was made accessible for quarrying Is figuring largely in the Coler trial. The Eagle's defense has separated the case into what happened before the quarrying began and what happened afterward. It is difficult to follow the case without getting Wall Street brokers mixed up with distinguished and powerful captains of Industry, of mythology, so it is necessary to draw a sharp line between the two kinds of monopoly alleged by the Eagle. The facts a brought out In court, when viewed In the light of incidental research, show that Vulcan, Neptune and Pluto were entirely responsible for the first or natural monopoly. First Vulcan turned out a lot of igneous rocks, which ages afterward disintegrated Into sand, which Neptune formed into sedimentary rock or sandstone by gradually depositing it on the bottom of the sea, incidentally putting in a little Iron to hold tbe sand together and make It red.

Gradually this stone was buried beneath other stone strata to a depth of 2,000 feet. It stayed there, getting packed harder and harder into good paving stone for At lantic avenue. It would have been there yet. but for some angry outburst on the part of Pluto, who poked his finger against the earth's inner crust. Just under the spot where Orleans County was ultimately to be.

A section of saod-stone about a mile wide and about twenty-five miles long was raised to the surface. The Modern Monopoly Quite a Distinct Affair. The second monopoly the incorporated kind wasn't established for ages afterward. The Eagle wasn't able to prove just how many years elapsed or how It all happened: hut It did show that the ridge of sandstone was there, shelving sharply away at the sides and ends of the ridge, and that except for the exposed belt it was overlaid with limestone. After finishing with the natural monopoly, the Kagle's lawyers renewed Aieir efforts to prove the practical mo Miss West, at -20th Street of Fifth Avenue Line Made No Resistance.

FEARED LEVELED PISTOLS, It Was Shortly After Midnight, and Two Policemen Were Only a Block Away The Girl's Story. Another instance of the ease with which the women acting as station agents dur ing the night hours on the Brooklyn lines may be held up was furnished this early morning when Miss Grace West, agent at the Twentieth street station of the Fifth avenue Hue was set upon and roDDea of the entire night receipts. And the three robbers escaped, despite the presence of two policemen standing on a corner only a block distant. Tbe only one to see the robbers, apparently, was the young agent and the possibility of arresting the thieves appears to be most remote. This morning's holdup was the second that has taken place on the Fifth ave nue line within a year.

A few months ago tne agent at the Twenty-fifth street station -was attacked and robbed. In this instance the girl was severely beaten; but because of her oresence of mind In not resisting the men Miss West, the victim of this morning's outraze. did not suffer any bodily harm. Miss West says tnat tne sight of two revolvers pointed in a real Dusmess-like manner was enough to convince her that the beet thing to do under the circumstances was "Just to shut up. Miss West, who Is 21 years old.

has been at the Twentieth street station for some months. Her home is at 1144 For tieth street. The agents at this station work in three relays. Miss West's hours are from 10 P.M. until 8 o'clock In the morning.

It was shortly after midnight tnat the girl was sitting In the booth counting up tbe night's receipts and mak ing out tne order for the money car, which reaches that station about 1 o'clock. Her money was spread on tbe Doara wnen three Italians entered the station. The first passed throuah the gate and paid his nickel. The second did the same. The girl says that she did not particularly notice the men until she was struck by an ominous silence.

She raised her eyes and found herself looking into tne Dusiness ends of two revolvers, held by the men who had already oassed through the gate. The other man was standing on the other side and apparently waicnmg ror any one to come up from the street. The men with the revolvers did not sav much, the girl declares, until they had stepped inside the chain, at the same time keeping her covered with their revolvers. The booth door was thrown open and the two stepped Into the booth. One of them seised tho telephone, wrenched Ihe receiver from the hook and smashed it on the floor.

In order to make sure that all communication with the outside world was cut off he cut the wire. At the same time the other man was taking the The receipts were In two bags, one containing $27 and the other J15. On the money board was 5 in mange, ah of this was quickly appropriated. The men then slowlv backed out of the booth, at the same time keeping the girl covered with their guns. They narnea ner mat any outory would luev.u her -death, and Mlss West took them at their word, While the proceedings had been going on the.

third man was standing by the door leading to the street, acting as a guard against possible Intrusion. The others Joined him, and with the nart-ing advice to the girl to "keep quiet until we get away," they disappeared down the statrs. It was not more than two minutes later that a man and woman entered the station. To them the girl, still cool and collected, told her story. While she was talking to them a train pulled in.

Miss West soon had quite throng gathered around her. Some one of the more collected ran to tbe street and found two policemen standing at the corner of Fifth avenue and Nineteenth street. After they had heard the story of the girl a call was sent to the station house for the reserves. Tbe neighborhood was scoured, but no trace of tbe men was found. The section here is an Italian colony, which madn the work of the police, acting on the description of the robbers being Italians, decidedly difficult.

Miss West, however, was very sure ihat she could identify tbe robbers. This morning a man was taken into custody on suspicion, but was allowed to go because of the girl's failure to identify him. The local detectives, however, have strong hopes of making an arrest before night. NO DIVORCE FOR O'HARA. Referee Claims That Husband Con nived at Wife's Offense.

Referee Ernest P. Seelman, before whom the case was tried, refused to grant a decree of absolute divorce to James Francis O'Hara against Mrs. Irene Josephine O'Hara. The couple are well known in Brooklyn Catholic circles. The reason given for his findings was that he found, indications in the testimony that the plaintiff consented, connived and was privity to the offense, which was alleged to have occurred at tne Parkway Hotel," Coney Island, on August 12, 1908.

AH of this came out this afternoon In a motion made before Justice Thomas, sitting tn the special term of the Supreme Court, on a motion made on be half of Mrs. O'Hara, for a confirmation of the report of the referee in her favor. Lawyer Harry E. Lewis appeared for hor and Peter P. Smith for the hus band, who insisted that the record of the case and the testimony taken before the referee did not warrant tne conclusion reached by Lawyer Seelman that there was any connivance on the part of tho plaintiff.

Justice Thomas said that he would probably have to read the record to see if he came to the same conclusion as the referee. CONEY ISLAND DOUBLE FARE. Early In the week a member of tha Public Service Commission dropped a remark which led to the Inference that the commission would hand down a decision on the question of second fare to Coney Island this week or next. Tbe public hearings were concluded almost eight months ago. Secretary Travis Whitney said this morning that the matter had not been considered by the commission in executive session and he did not know when the decision would be handed down.

According to the best information available on the Bubject. It is understood the commission will sustain the rUht of the companies to collect a double fara. The New Corset for Fat Women. The new corset designed to coerce over-fat ladies into the new style gowns has three sets of strings. When you have one set adjusted you still have two more struggles left.

Think of that-and shudder. To escape this fate, fat ladies should lose no time In securing one of the large cases of Marmola Prescription Tablets that druggists and the Marmola Com pany, Detroit, sell for 75 cents. One of these tablets taken after each meal and at bedtime for a short while will make Her independent of the new corset. Being made in strict accordance with the famous Marmola Prescription, these limn stnndhva nf (hp overfnf are perfectly harmless! except to the fet llsoir. which iney not infrequently do away with at the rate of a pound a day, I and they are also the most economical and least restrictive means for reducing fnl one could adopt as they get results without Interferin- either with one's ensv chair tendencies or methods of diet.

FAST WORK ON NEW BRIDGE Bridge Department to Make a Record in Building. Will Be Beady on Contract Time, Before Year's End, but With No Approaches. Some Interesting fact concerning the building of the steel superstructure of the Manhattan Bridge was made public this morning by Bridge Commissioner gtevenson and Rhelnhold Johnson, the consulting engineer In charge of the work The rapid progress which the Bridge Department is making furnishes a great contrast to the dllatorlness of officials in other departments who have not made any attempt to provide proper approaches for the bridge on the Brooklyn side. Almost every steel part that Is neces sary for the structure has been manufac tured. To-day marked the beginning of the shipment of the structural steel from Bayonne, N.

where It was stored after It was' completed at the plant of the Phenlxvllle Steel Company, Pennsylvania. In less than two weeks the construction of the spans will begin In earnest and there will be no let-up until fall. According to the officials of the Bridge Department there Is no reason why the bridge should not be completed and opened for traffic on the day stipulated In the contract. In the Bayonne yard 19,000 tons of material have been assembled, making a great stack S00 feot long, 125 feet wide and 33 feet high, and all marked. The Terry Trench Construction Company, which has the sub-contract from Ryan Parker, is building derricks and travelers at the towers.

The derricks will be used' In hoisting the steel parts from the barges In the river and the travelers will ca'rry the different parts to their proper positions. Construction will commence simultaneously from both towers. In both directions from each tower, the simultaneous construction being neoessary in order to distribute equally the weight on the cables. There will bo sixteen derricks and twelve travelers. The travelers are already In Hvomuii.

ii i in toe aerricKs will be com pleted In a day or two Some entirely new features are to be Introduced in the construction work. In all the bridges which have ben erected so iar nteel rivetB were UBed. Ii the construction of the Manhattan Bridge According to Commissi the use of these very hard rivets has uever oecn triea in work outside of steel plants. From present Indications it seems as if all the energy of the Bridge Department will go for naught. While the bridge may bo ready for traffic In December, as promised by the Bridge Department, It will be impossible to operate either elevated or surface cars over it unless some action Is taken by the Board of Estimate to put the Flatbush avenue extension into shape.

STAMPS HAD BEEN STOLEN. Dealers Notified Police When young Men Tried to Get Cash for Booksful. The Wells-Hamlin Company of 26 Court street, who furnish trading coupons to retailers, did a little detective work yesterday that resulted In the jailing of two young men, who gave the names of J. Brown and William Doyle. On Tuesday the two youths called at the office of the stamp company and presented a book full of stamps for which they received 40 cents in cash.

It was noticed that the stamps all bore the same number, showing that they had all come from one store. As this is rather unusual, the stamp people communicated with their client, who Lsed stamps bearing this number. He is a butcher named John C. Hllle-brecht, of 506 Myrtle avenue, and reported ti.at his store had been robbed a few nights ago, and that the thieves took several good steaks and his entire supply of stamps. The younj men again railed at ihe Wells-Hamlin office yesterday afternoon, with two books filled with stamps, Ml bearing the' same number, and asked that they be cashed.

Police headquarters as called up and detective was sent around to Investigate. The young men explained to the detectives that they had bought the stamp books from a stranger, and denied all knowledge of any burglary. They were taken into custody. The polios had not received any report of the burglary. BROOKLYN LIKE A VILLAGE.

Just a Plain Country Town Over Here, Seys Magistrate Steinert, in Manhattan. Magistrate Steinert at the session of the legislative committee to inquire Into the minor courts, In Manhattan, this r-fternoon, speaking of tbe work of health Inspectors, said It had taken thirty years to educate Manhattan In Health Department rules, and that it will take twenty years longer to educate Brooklyn. "Brooklyn is a village, a country town," declared Magistrate Steinert. "When I was in the Health Department sanlury superintendents used to say they are country people In Brooklyn and like country rules. We couldn't do anything with them." TEBRY TERMINAL HEARING Fixed for March 1, by Sinking Fund, on North First Street Purchase.

The Sinking Fund Commission to-day announced that on March 1 a public hearing would be held on the plan to purchase for ihe purposes of a ferry terminal the property In the Eastern District bounded by East River street, North First street, River street and Metropolitan avenue. At the same time there will be a hearing on the project of Improving the water front property in the vicinity of the contemplated terminal. Controller Mftz. who was dining tiic Chamber of Commerce, kept commission waiting half an hour for his report. Mr.

Metz related the terms of the- proposed compromise offer made by tho New York Terminal Company to lease part of tiie Broadway terminal and operate eiuht boats for $300,000 a year. This offor was referred to a select cominlHee. An Imaginary Journey Along the Medina Sandstone Belt. The trip along the sandstone oiit-crno ping began at Brockport. in Monroe County, for the exposed sandstone extends a Bhort distance eastward of the Orleans County line, as well as a rew miles west ward Into Niagara County.

J. F. Craffey. secretary of the Albion-Medina Stone company, pointed out the quarries and described them from the witness chair. -Mr.

Craffey was not frlendiv to the Eagle, but he was very careful and fair in pointing out quarries connected with the alleged monopoly. It was seen that the sandstone business in Monroe County amounted to almost nothing. In fact, Mr. Craffey had never seen any stone shipped from Brock-port. On the way from Brockport to Hol-ley.

in Orleans County, there were three quarries. O'Brien's. Slack's and William O'Brien's. The first two belonged to the Orleans County Quarry Company, and William O'Brien sold his output to the allied Aftlon Medina. In Holley there were two quarries belonging to the Orleans County Quarry Company and two to William H.

Farran.t. Mr. Craffey said he would not testify that farrand was not one of the Incorporators of the Albion-Medina Company. He said ihe Crayland and Keyea quarries, near Holley, belonged to the Orleans County Quarry Company. There were no other quarries there.

Details About the Medina Quarries. Between Holley and Hulburton five quarries were passed, and one abandoned quarry was seen. The Sterwieke. O'Reilly and Philips quarries belonged to tbe Or leans County Quarry Company; the Bon-fort quarry to the Orleans Sandstone Company, said to be controlled by the Warner-Qiilnlan Company, Syracuse contractors, and the Squires quarry, the output of which had been contracted for by the predecessor of the Orleans County Quarry Company. At Hulburton there was another quarry of the Orleans Sandstone Company, two quarries of Fancher and Vincent of the Albion-Medina Company, one of A.

II. Ford, president of that company, and that cf Richard O. O'Brien, the output of which wag handled by the Albion-Medind Company. Also, there were the two Newborns quarries and another quarry belong ing to the Orleans County Quarry Company, and two Gwynne quarries, which were not operated in 1906. the time of the Jury's make-believe trip.

There was one other little quarry which Mr. Craffey said was operated by an Italian. In Hindsburg. the Jurors found that the Orleans County Quarry Company owned he following: Bartlett Hebner, Bald win ft Hinds. Old Baldwin quarry, Eck- ford's.

Fancher, Garret ft 8canlon's. Cha1-wiok's. Brady's. Goodrich's and DeGrath's. In the Albion-Medina company were Cleary's.

Filkins and the Gorman, worked ty Filkins; Reed Allen and Reed quarries tnd the Dolaney quarry. At Albion. M. A. Ryan operated an in dependent quarry.

The Eaale Harbor quarries were ownea ty the Orleans County Quarry Company. Between Eacle Harbor and Medina the Orleans County Quarry Company owned the McCormack quarries, Hoiiaway quarry and Horan quarry. Its ally, the Albion-Medina, had the output of the Skinner quarry worked by Robertson and the ReynoldB quarry worked By FUKins. Almost in the center of Medina, on tne banks of Oak Orchard Creek. Mr.

Craffey nointed out a hole In the cliff which he said was Hanlon's quarry. Mr. Ryan said it wasn't a real quarry, but was the place where the barge canal was to cross the creek. In Shelby Basin an independent quarry waa found operated on the Serviss farm by Martin Scanlon. On toward Lockport the jury found tne Le Valle quarry of the Albion-Medina Company, and in Lockport was the Filk ins quarry, also snipping to tne Albion Medina Company.

Only Three Independent Quarries in Operation. The result of the trip was the dlscov- ery of three Independent quarries in operation, and the Hanlon quarry, which the Eagle's counsel claimed wasn a quarry The other quarries were either owned or their output controlled by the Orleans County Quarry Company and the allied company, with the exception of two quar ries operated by tbe Orleans Sandstone Company, which didn't quarry stone for sale, and which Mr. Craffey testified actually bought stone from the Albion-Medina Stone Company, Mr. Craffey said that many quarries had been started and abandoned. He pointed out only those In operation and a few of the larger unworked quarries.

According to tbe Eagle's list the Orleans County Quarry Company and Its ally have over sixty quarries either idle or working, and it is claimed that they constitute a very substantial monopoly. HANDBAG AND $1,000 LOST. Mis. Stein Laid It Sown in Store, and Has Shopkeeper Arrested. Mrs.

Annie Stein, in the Gates avenue police court this morning, related that, (earful ot burglars, one day last week, she packed much of her worldly wealth in her handbag when she started on a shopping expedition. The wealth consisted of a diamond ring, a diamond breast pin, a pearl brooch, a gold watch and chain, other trifles, and $20 In real cash, the total worth $1,000. She entered a store on Broadway and claims that she laid her handbag on the counter; then, she says, she left the building. She had gone but a short distance when she missed her handbag, and returned to the store, but It had disappeared. Accordingly, she got the assistance of Detectives Brownell and Berrlnger, and upon Mrs.

Stein's charge, they took Fannie Kupperman, the proprietor of the store, into custody. Mrs. Kupperman was held in 11,000 bail on a charge of grand larceny. TEAMSTERS STRIKE STILL ON. The strike' of the teamBters employed by the New York Transportation Company is still on, and no sugar has been carted from the plant of the American Sugar Refining Company on Kent avenue to-day.

MARK, RHEINGOLD BEER $1 per Case of 24 Bottles At All Dealers WANTS CORRAO HELD Ciambalvo Charges Him With Criminal Libel. Assistant District Attorney Sued in Supreme Court by Court Interpreter. After a session that lasted until late yesterday afternoon and beginning at 2 o'clock, Justice Thomas, sitting in the special term of the Supreme Court as a police magistrate, adjourned until Tuesday atfernoon next the hearing he is having in the attempt of Joseph G. Olans-balvo, the Italian Interpreter in the County Court, lo have Assistant District Attorney Francis L. Corrao held for the Grand Jury on the charge of causlug a criminal libei to be printed about the Italian court interperters, and, chiefly, concerning himself as an attorney as well as an Interpreter.

The hearing brought to the court room a large Italian contingent, that is very much Interested In the outcome of the case and the attention of the throag was closely given to the testir-ony. Ex-Senator Thomas C. VV. Whltlock appeared for Uiambalvo and Fulton McMahon cetai sented Corrao. From the testimony given yesterday afternoon it appears that the inception of Mr.

Corrao's attack upon certain of the Italian interpreters in the Brooklyn courts was at a hearing before the legislative commission to investigate i.jiidi-tior.s and alleged abuses in the minor eHirts of the city. At a hearing before tnis commission Assistant District attorney Corrao. following a subpena, gave It as his opinion that the work of the Interpreters he complained about was not high class. Later he followed this up by another attack upon the Italian interpreters at a meeting at Jackson Hall, on Myrtle avenue, at which he spoke in Italian to the Italians present. The next day translations of the speeh were sent to some of the Brooklyn newspapers, the complainant alleges, by Corrao himself, and it was printed with more or less detail.

The part of the printed speech which Giambaivo specifically complained about was the reference therein to those twf Italian Interpreters who were lawyers, and the charge tliati they had secured admission 'to practice 1 in manner not prescribed by i It was this particular- charge that Jus- mo iiiuuma gave inosij or ni attent.oii to yesterday afternoon, and the hearing resolved itself into a determination of the manner in which Giambaivo secured his from the Regents follow- Ing his application to be admitted to practice law. It waa shown that Giam baivo had obtained a Bachelor of Science diploma from St. Francis College-in Brooklyn, following examination, and the claim was made on behalf of Corrao that the certificate, was Improperly siven to tne applicant, fwho, he Insisted, had, not been actually In attendance upon the course of studies prescribed by the college for a time sufficient to warrant securing the degree. The claim mado by Giambalvo's attorney was that the certificate was entirely regular. STORE AHEAD QF POST OFFICE' Gets First Supply of New Lincoln Stamps.

Which Will Be on p.i. rn- The new Lincoln postage stamps will be on sale at the Brooklyn post office to-morrow, It they get here In time from Washington. The local post office offi-- cials are fearful that Loeser's depan-' mont Rtnp. mlirht vat a vu mo jji uutwju pusi omce, tor tne oe- partment store has on hand a of 10,000 of the new stamps. They were procured from tho department in Washington under an Irconclad agreement that not one will be sold under any clrsum- stances before to-morrow The new Lin coln stamp, issued only In 2-cent denomination, is red and very similar in appearance lo those now In use except that it bears the face of Lincoln instead of Washington.

Every effort has been made by Assist- ant Postmaster Newcomb to get the Lincoln stamps here for use to-morrow, but the chances are against It. The stamps will be sold by Loeser from three Vending machines, which are big, fine looking pieces of mechan-' iBm. Two of them are bronie and have letter boxes attached.

BOTH SAINED By Change to Poatum. "We have given Postum Over a year's trial," wrltos a Wis. lady, "and our only regret Is that we did not try It before. Previously we used coffee twice a day. and were very fond of It.

"My husband had been subject to severe attacks ot sick headache for years and at such times could not endure the sight or smell of coffee. This led me to suspect that coffee was the cause of his trouble. "I was also troubled very much with acidity of the stomach and heart palpi tation after meals. I bad been doctoring for this but bad not suspected that coffee was the cause. "Finally we purchased some Postur-i and it did for me what the medicines had failed to do.

The first day we used Postum I noticed less of my own trouble, the second day was entirely free from It and have never been troubled since. "My husband has been entirely free from attacks of sick headache since he quit coffee and began to use Postum. I have heard people say they did not like the flavour of Postum. yet I have served it to them without detection, because It has the color and snappy coffee taste, similar to mild high-grade Java. This shows they had not made it right.

When made according to directions on it is as delicious as coffee and be-Bldes it is wholesome." Name given by Tostum Battle Creek, Mich. Read "The Road to Well-ville," in pkgs. "There's a Reason."

President Roosevelt and President-elect Taft were praised last night by the Right Rev. Mgr. George W. Mundelein. chan cellor of the Brooklyn Diocese, at a dinner of the alumni of Manhattan College, in the Hotel Knickerbocker.

Mgr. Mundelein said that the old prejudice against Catholics receiving high office In the gov ernment was dying out, and he' said that he thought that It might be possible to elect a Catholic President of the United States within the present decade. He said that Theodore Roosevelt was the first President who had fearlessly appointed Catholics to high office, and he paid a glowing tribute to both Taft and Roosevelt for their fairness in dealing with the church question in the Philippines. The diners cheered the speech en thusiastically. There has never been a President In the White House," he said, "who has had more regard and fairness for the Catholic Church than President Roosevelt.

He has shown It by his fearless appointment of Catholics to high office. He's a man a doer of big things, a clever politician, but a successful statesman. There Is no other living American whose name is so well known in foreign lands, and particularly in the Vatican." Deploring the fact that President Roose velt will soon leave office, he said the Church considered Itself fortunate in his successor, as, he said, "Mr. Taft has broad views, an honest purpose and has made good wherever he has been." 'His relations with the Vatican." the speaker continued, referring to Mr. Taft.

'will be friendly and fair. They have had proofs of his services and they ask no more than that." Referring to the possibility of electing a Roman President, the speaker said: 'Give us a able and honest and just. and. give, him he Solid support of a united, party1; and' belleve he would be elected hands-down, even now. The Amerlesn people are "just.

We are the only people who have never dragged re- egion into politics. The Vatican trusts that it will never see the day that, such the We want our rights, that and nothing more. We want and demand the privileges granted to us by the Con stitutlon. We are fourteen million strong and all we ask and what we want Is the free exercise of our faith, no dlscrimlna ion against us and a square deal. And the man who gives us that we will vote for in the future as in the past, be he Catholic, Protestant or Jew." Among the other speakers were Judge Luke D.

Stapleton. Surrogate John P. Cohalan, Senator Thomas F. Grady and the Rev. Brother Peter, president of Manhattan College.
