Interment in Lutheran Cemetery, NEW YORK LEADERS MAY KNIFE CAMPBELL Oppose His Candidacy for Superintendent of Elections in Manhattan Office. JOB PAYS A YEAR. They Will Present a Strong Protest to Governor-Elect Whitman When Time Comes.

"Rocks ahead" is the warning that has been served on the Kings County Republican leaders, who are steering Marcus B. Campbell's candidacy for the post of Superintendent of Elections in charge of the New York office. The "rocks" are the New York County leaders, and they bid fair to make pretty dangerous obstructions to Campbell's pathway to this $5,000 plum. In fact there are those in Kings County- among them several prominent Republicans--who are even pessimistic enough to believe that the Manhattanites will finally push Campbell entirely out of the picture. While the Republican State leaders are planning a legislative programme that involves the curtailment of the State Elections Bureau, it is said that the New York superintendency is one of Its parts that will be saved, and this is why the Republicans are in such a hot scramble for the post that John R.

Voorhis, the present local cause he happens to relinquish, those superintendent, must awful Democrats known as a sachem of Tammany Hall. The New York Republicans declare that this plum belongs to them by right of heritage. They point out that it has always been held by a Manhattanite and that the peculiar duties devolving upon the incumbent makes it necessary that he should be a man thoroughly familiar with the politics of Manhattan Island. Such a man, they assert, can only be a long resident of that borough and a man who has been intimately connected with the politics of Manhattan to such an extent that when Election Day comes around he will know just where to watch for colonists, repeaters and other would cheaters of the election law. view of all this they are preparInE.

to Whitman, present a the very strong Governor-elect, case to when it gets close to the time he must name a successor to Voorhis. County Chairman Samuel S. Koenig is said to be thoroughly charged with arguments and is declared to feel confident that he can overcome any claims of outsiders, such as Kings County men. The legislative programme, which is understood to be under consideration relative to the Elections Bureau of the State, is said to contemplate the abolishment of the two up-State offices, Buffalo and Brockport, and the retention of the Superintendent of Elections or an officer and office with equivalent duties thereto in Manhattan. The Republicans feel that the work this office was created to do is peculiarly a work in Manhattan and that it really has no excuse for existence anywhere else in the State.

It is pointed out that there isn't another city in the entire State where the colonizers and repeaters need watching as they do in Manhattan, and that while the Superintendent of Elections is a very valuable preventive of voting evils in the thickly congested districts, it has practically no field of activity elsewhere. In view of this the scheme is to abolish entirely the two up-State superintendencies with all their deputies and assistants and possibly. confine the New York City Superintendent to that county alone, cutting off all the twenty -three Kings County deputies-one in each Assembly district-as well as those in Queens County and Richmond Borough. FOR BETSY HEAD PLAYGROUND. Recreation Commission Losing No Time on Equipment.

The Public Recreation Commission, apparently, proposes to lose no time in equipping, the Betsy Head Playwas recently dedicated in Brownsville with impressive ceremonies. A communication has been received from the acting secretary the Commission, requesting the release of $19,000, which is a part of the interest accumulated on the principal of the Betsy Head legacy. With this sum, the Public Recreation Commission proposes to construct a field house on the new Brownsville playground. $100.000 ROUNDHOUSE FIRE. New York Central's Equipment Badly Damaged in Blaze.

A fire early today, which destroyed a roundhouse of the New York Central Railroad at 165th street, near Sedgwick avenue, the Bronx; three locomotives, a boiler house and turn-table, gave the firemen a difficult task. The nearest fire hydrant was 400 feet away from the fire, that the firemen had to drag hose across a bluff and over six railroad tracks before they could connect it. A sudden explosion threw the flames 200 feet in the air. The gasoline in a tank in the boiler house had blown the place to bits. Several firemen were knocked down by the concussion.

The damage is estimated at $100,000. DEATHS. WALSER- Suddenly, November 23, 1914, ALICE KALTENBACH, beloved wife of Conrad Walser. Funeral private. WHITE--At his residence, 111 Albany ROBERT WHITE, son of Elizabeth and Theodore White.

A four year term for the Governor, four years for State Senators and two years for Assemblymen were suggested at a meeting of the Committee on Constitutional Convention of the Brooklyn Young Republican Club last night. The committee met just before the regular club meeting at the Johnston Building. Although the members did not officially go on record in favor of the change, the consensus of opinion seemed to be favorable to the proposition. was felt that the shortness of the term" of State legislators made it necessary to be in a constant turmoil of politics, preventing a man from giving the thought and effort he should to the work of the Legislature, and discouraging substantial and competent citizens from seeking the offices. Among those present were Edward H.

First honors in the Street Cleaning Department in the boroughs of Brooklyn, Manhattan and the Bronx, went yesterday to the Brooklyn horse, Major, attached to Stable Jamaica avenue and Gillen place.

This is the prize Major won. The first recognition of his superiority above all horses in the three boroughs came to him seven years ago, when, in The Eagle workhorse parade on Bedford avenue, he won the Vietor prize, the gift of Mrs. Theodore Vietor, a well-known lover of horses. Yesterday's honors were preesnted to Major after a review of the horses of the department in the parade in Manhattan. Herman Beimer, Major's driver, received a money prize for his twenty years of service with the department, and his good work.

The foreman of Stable is Frank A. Eschman. It was the constant faithful care of these two men for their horses that resulted in the high honors paid to them. Major was chosen as the first among 3,000 horses, and under strict conditions. These were: first, length of service: second, general condition of driver, cart and horse; and third, training and adaptability to service, in which were considered the voice of the driver, whistling and the dropping of ash cans.

Major is 16 years and two months old and has been in the service of the department since the time he was broken in. The parade yesterday in Manhattan was the beginning of the exhibition of modern street cleaning appliances by the department. The exhibition itself was opened to the public last night in the armory of the First Regiment Artillery, Broadway and Sixty-third street, Manhattan, and will be open to the public every Afternoon and evening this week.

Thomas McDonald, 19 years old, of 361 Jay street, this borough, today was held in $2,500 bail by Magistrate House in the Tombs Court, Manhattan, for trial on a charge of attempted robbery. He is accused of having attempted to steal $20,000 worth of jewelry from the storeroom of John R. Greason Son, manufacturing jewelers, at 12 and 14 John street, Manhattan, on November 16. McDonald was discovered there by George Moritz, a night watchman, and was caught after he had fled to a building in the rear, at 13 Maiden lane. McDonald claimed he had been working in the building and was locked in the storeroom, but he was unknown to tenants of the building.

About $20,000 worth of jewelry was found scattered about the storeroom after the man was arrested. HARRY TREU GOES INSANE. Sets Fire in His Room to Bundles of Paper--Were His "Enemies." Harry Treu, 41 years night became violently insane and was removed to the observation ward of the Kings County Hospital. For the last two years the man had been living in a furnished room, rented from Robert Gebrecht, at 52 Marcy avenue. For the past two weeks he appeared to be brooding over something and was gloomy and sullen.

Last night Patrolman McDermott saw flickers of flame in the man's room, and inquired of Gebrecht what was going on. Gebrecht had no explanation, and the two went to Treu's room, where they found him setting fire to bundles of paper, which, he informed them, were his enemies. When they attempted to beat out the flames Treu attacked them violently, and he was subdued only after a sharp struggle. In the Bedford avenue station attacked Lieutenant Fleming. THREE ARRESTS IN DRUG CASE.

Charles Tret of Brooklyn One of Those Charged With Selling Drugs. When three men were taken Police Headquarters, in Manhattan, today, charged with violating the Boylan act, in that they sold drugs, detectives told a story of how a young womaniad reformed habitue of the assisted in the arrest because of her efforts to save a college graduate, who had been trying to break away from the drug. The prisoners were Philip Letto, 27 years old, of 132 East Houston street, Manhattan; Joseph Cetro, 21 years old, of 306 East Twelfth street, Manhattan, and Charles Tret, 25 years old, of 617 Union street, this borough, LOSES SUIT TO BREAK HER BROTHER'S WILL Mrs. Abbott Alleged That A. Frank Wilson Did Not Sign Document Filed.

HANDWRITING EXPERTS CALLED Lawyers for Mrs. Abbott Announce That They Will Appeal From Decision. A jury in Justice Blackmar's part of the Supreme Court last night decided that the will offered and probated Surrogate's Court is in lenthe will and testament of A. Frank Wilson, the salesman, who made fortune of $200,000, and who was well known in the Bushwick and Ridgegood, sections. Laura Abbott, one of Wilson's sisters, brought the contest in the effort to upset the will, contending that Mr.

Wilson never signed the document at all. The paper offered in cuted eighteen years in Detroit, evidence appeared to have been and 1 Samuel Bradt, clerk of the Griswold House, in that city, whose name appeared on it as a witness, testified that the signed it at the request of another man and before Wilson's signature was affixed. "Andrew F. Wilson" was signed to the will. It was not discovered until some time after Wilson's death and after his widow, who is now the wife of William H.

Pendry, Alderman and lawyer, had asked for letters testamentary. There was considerable testimony by handwriting experts, Vreeland Harring giving it as his opinion that the signature on the alleged will was not written by the same person who wrote conceded signatures of Wilson. William J. Kingsley appeared for the defense and gave it as his opinion that Wilson did sign the document, and from this testimony Mrs. Pendry, who fought to sustain the will, contended that her first husband not only knew of the will, but signed it after Thomas B.

Shepherd, his employee, had presented it to Bradt to subscribe his name as a witness. Lewyers Henry F. Cochrane and George M. Schinzel, who appeared for Mrs. Abbott, announced that an appeal will be taken, as they regard the verdict of the jury as contrary to the weight of evidence.

It was contended by Mrs. Abbott's attorneys during the trial that another reason which would prevent Wilson from making a will in favor of his wife was the unpleasantness that had arisen between them for some unknown reason. Wilson died May 13 of last year. In the latter years of his life he took a helpful interest in the Ridgewood Day Nursery, of which he was treasurer, and it was the mutual interest of Mrs. Wilson and Pendry in that institution after Mr.

Wilson's death that developed the subsequent romance and marriage of the salesman's widow and the Alderman. Hulbert Quist appeared for the defendant. ARTISTS HEAR GITTELSON. Young American Violinist of Promise Plays Aeolian Hall. Frank Gittelson's violin recital yesterday in Aeolian Hall was given in the presence of Godowski, Albert Spalding, Michel Gusikoff, Sascha Jacobson and other artists who were interested in the former Philadelphia youth, who had been heard at the New York Symphony Society's concert and other concerts of note.

His programme began with Nardini's "Concerto in E- Minor," which contained a cadenza by Mr. Gittelson, who had the able assistance of Ellis Clark Hammann at the piano. Bach's "Chaconne for violin alone" anl three small pieces were heard before the D'Abmroiso "Concerto in B- Minor," on which was centered the strength of the programme, especially in the way of novelty. The Bach "Chaconne" was a little lacking in spirited interpretation; Bach should really never be, in even a slight degree, ponderous, though many artists consider it to be a foregone conclusion that Bach should be interpreted in that style. Mr.

Gittelson's large tone, however, suited the broad type composition of Bach. In the "Concerto" by D'Ambroiso re was much in sympathy with its wholly French style. The smaller numbers, "Slav in A-Major," Sarasate's "Spanish in D- and Brahms' "Hungarian in -Major," were happily placed on the programme and well interpreted. MUSIC FOR FLATBUSH BOYS.

WHO IS AT THE HELM TODAY? At seventy they say, my boys, That man's a mental wreck, That he's no longer fit to ruleAnd so they plan a checkAnd tell the people, one and all, That when "threescore and ten" 1s reached, 'tis time for old -time men To drop the sword and pen. It may be so, but let us see Who's at the helm today, While war goes on and able ones Still enter for the fray. Just count them, if you will, my boys, And then just let us know Why men of seventy still march on And land a telling blow.

Ah, yes, my boys! There's plenty room For ancient men and allWhile old-time fellows, as we know, Can hurl a massive ball; So give them room and let them play In life-where'er it beAnd then perhaps their marching on A Will C. help make AUGUSTUS mankind free.

COTHREN Public Administrator Asks Final Action on Estate of Late Lawyer. WIDOW RENOUNCES RIGHTS. Brooklynite Found Dead in His Bathroom--Cothren Left No Real Property. The Public Administrator, Frank V. Kelly, today applied at the surrogate's Office for the probate of the last will and testament of Frank H.

Cothren, the lawyer, who was found dead from drugs in the bathroom of his home at 173 South Oxford street, on May 29 of this year.

Cothren, the lawyer's widow, of her right to act as executrix of her husband's estate obtain letters testamentary the aronto Surrogate. Mr.

Cothren's will has been on file in the Surrogate's office since June 9, on which date Mrs. Cothren also signed her renunciation of her rights to take charge of the estate. The will is very brief, being three lines of handwriting on a sheet of Mr. Cothren's legal stationery. It is dated January 3, 1908, and gives all his property to his wife and appoints her executrix.

In the petition filed today for the probate of the will, it is stated that Mr. Cothren left no real property and that the value of the personal property is unknown. The sole surviving heirs are Mrs. Cothren and a daughter, Frances Cothren, both of whom now reside at Caldwell, N. J.

There Wis considerable mystery about the death of Mr. Cothren. He was found dead in the bathroom of his home and it was discovered that death was due to an overdose of drugs. The family stated that the death was accidental and that Mr. Cothren had probably taken an overdose of a drug to relieve himself from pain, as he was ill.

But shortly after his death it was claimed that irregularities had been discovered in his dealings with various of his clients and also with one of his relatives. Mrs. Marion B. Cothren, his widow. was for a number of years a leader in women's club circles in Brooklyn and a prominent suffragist.

03 SAVINGS BANKS NOW PAY 4 PER CENT German Savings Bank Falls Into Line -Others Expected to Follow. The German Savings Bank of Brooklyn has declared a dividend to depositors at the rate of 4 per cent. for the six months ending December 31, 1914. The former rate of dividend was per which has been in force for the past two years. The rate of dividend just declared by the trustees is credited to the depositors as of January 1 next.

The German Savings Bank is the third savings institution of Brooklyn that has during the current year increased the dividend to 4 per cent. per annum from per cent. The other institutions are the Sumner Savings Bank and the Germania Savings Bank. It is the general expectation that before the end of the year all of the Brooklyn savings institutions now paying interest to depositors at the rate of per cent. will be paying 4 per cent.

The trustees of the German Savings Bank feel that the increase in the rate of interest is warranted by the business that has been done by the bank during the past six months and the of 1914 as a whole. There are five savings institutiong in Brooklyn that are now maintaining their rate of interest at the per cent. basis. XAVIER LYCEUM GROWS. Large Addition of New Members Recorded.

Clark and asked if there was any reason why sentence should not be pronounced. was necessary for Siegel to refer to his lawyer before he could respond. Justice Clark then remarked that he understood restitution of the money taken from the private bank was to be made by paying back to the depositors, and Siegel answered that that was his Intention. The Court then said: "The verdict is fully justified by the evidence. The jury has been merciful in giving you an opportunity to pay the debts of your bank, and I trust that the verdict will be a lesson to you.

GEORGE HOELZLE. 432 Decatur st. 24-3t tu RECOUNT CONGRESS RACE Brown Wants All Inspectors Assembled at Riverhead. (Special to The Eagle.) Riverhead, L. November 24-The latest kink in the Congressional recount is that Representative Brown, through Percy L.

Housel, his attorney, has asked Justice Jaycox to grant an order directing that all of the boardsof inspectors of the county be compelled to reconvene in Riverhead to recount all of ballots cast for Congressmen in the last election. This is the gist of the order served on the Board of Canvassers late: yesterday. It almost stunned them, for it means summoning to Riverhead at least 400 men who might be required to stay here at least a day to complete the count. The canvassers figured that the expense would be great, probably at least $5,000. They instructed Joseph Wood, counsel to the Supervisors, to oppose the motion in that form at least.

Mr. Housel says that the election law was at least technically violated in nearly every district. He said that in some districts the tally of void ballots did not correspond with the number of voids sound in the enevlopes, and that none of the voids had written, on them why they were thrown These were some of his chief reasons for asking that all inspectors be directed to reconvene. Later he thought it might not be necessary to have all inspectors, but only those in districts where there was alleged to be a serious mixup. the argument was to take place this afternoon.
