THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW YORK. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21, 1915. PROTEST TO GOVERNOR. Consumers League Wants Hearing on Spring Bill Substitute.

An appeal has been made by the Consumers League of New York City for a hearing before Governor Whitman. if the bill to consolidate the Department of Labor and the Workmen's Compensation Commission is passed by the Senate, to which body the Senate Labor Committee has reported it favorably. The present bill is a substitute for the original bill introduced by Senator Spring. The protest of the Consumers League is based on the argument that this is another "ripper" bill that would do more harm than good. Although reducing the number of employees of the State by the consolidation of these two departments, the protest is made that "the bill creates a vast circumlocution office with measureless appeals to courts notorious for their delays." MILLS NEW COURT BILL He Introduces Compromise on Special Sessions Measure.

(Special to The Eagle.) Albany, April 21-Senator Mills introduced today a compromise bill on the subject of reorganization of the interior courts of New York Mills attempted to offer it late yesterday afternoon, out of its regular order, but Senator Burlingame of Brooklyn blocked him by refusing consent. The Mills bill is said to be satisfactory to the Mayor as well as to the Special Sessions Justices who fought the first bill that came here this session on the subject. It will probably arouse tremendous opposition in Brooklyn, however, because it would wipe out the Chief Magistrate in Brooklyn and to that extent is a blow at borough autonomy. This is effected by a provision which seeks to combine the divisions of magistrates courts into one, with a single head. The bill provides for the complete separation of the Children's Courts and Special Sessions Courts.

At present these are presided over by four Special Sessions justices and are all integral part of the Special Sessions courts. WHITE TRIAL POSTPONED Delayed Till Monday So Second Lawyer May Be Chosen. So that his many friends may take an active interest in his welfare by hiring an additional lawyer to help John S. Bennett defend him, Philip T. White, sales manager of the Masury Paint Company, today obtained from Justice Aspinall, in the Supreme Court, an adjournment of his trial until Monday.

Assistant District Attorney Allen demanded that the trial go on at once, as White and his lawyer persistently had demanded a speedy trial. Mr. Bennett said that, as far as he was concerned, he was ready today. Afterward, however, he said, he had not prepared his defense, because White's friends want an associate lawyer to help safeguard the prisoner's interests. They had not as yet their man, and Mr.

Bennett selected it only fair that the new lawyer should have a chance to familiarize himself with the case. In the indictment, which was moved for trial today, White is accused of being one of those who held up his fellow employees of the Masury Company June 5, 1914, and stole the payroll of $3,032. There will be forty witnesses for the people. BOY KILLED UNDER CAR Seven- Year-Old Harry Isenburg Loses Life Chasing Ball. Harry Isenberg, 7 years old, of 173 Alabama avenue, was run over and killed by an empty motor moving van, driven by Thomas Bell of 4604 Third avenue, at Glenmore and Alabama avenue, last evening.

Dr. Marner, of the Bradford Street Hospital, pronounced the boy dead. The little fellow, in his eagerness to catch a ball, had run in front of the truck. The mother attempted to attack Bell, but the crowd held her back. It was the generally expressed opinion that the driver was not to blame.

SAYS LEGS WERE STOLEN, But Brooklyn Artificial Limb Sales. man Is Held in $1,000. Alleging that he lost two artificial limbs, valued at $185, entrusted to his care by his employers, the AluminumRawhide Artificial Limb Company, of 1931 Broadway, Manhattan, James Cassidy, 27 years old, a salesman, of 1148 Flatbush avenue, Brooklyn, was held in $1.000 bail for trial by Magistrate Nolan, in West Side Court, Manhattan, today, charged with grand larceny. Mrs. Emmy Staggs, of 32 West Six-sixth street, Manhattan, connected with the company, testified she gave Cassidy, who wears an artificial limb, two limbs to show to a prospective customer.

She heard no more from him. Cassidy said he placed a suit case, containing the limbs, on the curb at Fifty-ninth street and Broadway, Manhattan, April 10, and that some one stole them. On failing to find the limbs, he was afraid to return to his employers, he said. HONORED AT GEORGETOWN. Edward J.

MARTIN NOT CLIENT, SAYS STEINBRINK Latter's Firm Issues Statement in Regard to Trial of Frank P.

Martin. EXPLAINS ABOUT DICTAGRAPH. Says the Conviction of Lawyer Justified the Precaution Taken by Firm. The firm of Jones, McKinny Steinbrink today issued the following statement in connection with the trial yesterday of Frank P. Martin, a lawyer.

charged with grand larceny, in which it was stated that Martin had called on Steinbrink as a prospective client and that the conversation which followed was taken over a dictagraph and used at the trial: "There is no such thing as A dictagraph in our office. "A year and a half ago, at the instance and urgent request of one of the most important clients of our office, an endeavor to discover the perpetrator of a series of thefts occurring in their office, a dictagraph was used. was placed there by the Dictagraph Company on December 18, 1913. "At that time we were also the attorneys for Mrs. Fannie Scharfenberg, a woman of upward of 80 years of age, whose son was Interested in bustness with Frank P.

Martin, who has just been convicted of grand larceny. "On the afternoon of December 21, 1913, the information was conveyed to 1S that Mr. Martin had made the threat that unless Mr. Scharfenberg's mother, Mrs. Fannie Scharfenberg, took an assignment of a certain mortgage, and in that way protect him, that he (Martin) would place the responsibility his own wrongdoing on Mr.

Scharfenberg. Martin visited our office on the morning of December 22, 1913. and endeavored to persuade us to advise Mrs. Scharfenberg to take an assignment of the mortgage. We felt it our duty to protect Mrs.

Scharfenberg against this possible attempt to blackmail her, and Martin's conviction justifled the precaution taken. Martin never was and never attempted to be a. client of our office. "Subsequently, a clerk in our office and stenographer were subpenaed before the Grand Jury on the trial called as witnesses. There all questions were truthfully answered.

Wo do not approve of the use of a dictagraph in a law office. Not to have used it in this instance would have been to endanger Mrs. Scharfenberg and her son." MAY IDENTIFY SLAIN GIRL Brooklyn Woman Thinks Steamship Companion Is Bronx Victim Mrs. Carl F. Hoglund, of 343 Fortyfourth street, Brooklyn, telephoned to the Bronx Detective Bureau late last night, and said that she thought she knew the girl who was found murdered in a lot at 177th street and Noble avenue.

the Bronx, ten days ago. She told Lieutenant Thompson she would go to the Fordham morgue today, and try to identify the body. Mrs. Hoglund said she had been reading of the case in the newspapers, and based her possible identification on the descriptions published. To a representative of The Eagle who called on Mrs.

Hoglund today, she said that, several months ago, she went 011 trip to Sweden. After a sojourn there, she made arrangements to return to this country, and left Christiania about January 29 on one of the boats of the Scandinavian-American (she does not remember which one), and landed here February 15. It was o11 the trip across that she met woman who, she thinks, may be the one who was found murdered. They were companions on the trip, and the woman told her she was returning to her husband after a year's stay in Sweden. Mrs.

Hoglund said she did not remember the woman's name, but says it sounded like a Swedish one. A detective from the Bronx Detective Bureau visited Mrs. Hoglund today, and when he learned the details of what she based her identification on, he told her that it would be hardly worth her while to view the body to see if the murdered woman were her fellow passenger, because the body was hardly recognizable. Slight as Mrs. Hoglund's information is, however, it is thought that an effort will be made by the detectives to ascertain from the passenger lists of the boat Mrs.

Hoglund sailed on, just who her acquaintance was. LETS RIVAL HAVE CHILDREN. W. Wilson Gets Divorce, but Relinquishes His Kiddies. Justice Shearn and a jury in the Supreme Court today, granted a divorce to John W.

Wilson, head of a towel supply company, from Mrs. Anna H. Wilson and, although Mrs. Wilson failed to defend the case, Wilson, on account of his love for his wife, permitted the children to remain with her. William Lichenhauer, the owner of the house in which the Wilsons lived in Flatbush a year ago, was the co-respondent.

Mrs. Wilson took her two children with her and became Eichenhauer's housekeeper. ORPHANS AIDED BY CONCERT.

Mr. Meyn sang two songs composed by Kurt Schindler, and other German songs. Gabrilowitsch played compositions by Brahms, Gluck, Henselt and Schubert, and gave encores.

Mr. Reimers sang folk songs of various nations and songs by Grieg. Gabrilowitsch's playing aroused great enthusiasm. ARMENIAN MASS MEETING.

P. S. C. ASKS FOR WRIT TO MAKE B. R.

T. OBEY Seeks to Compel Standard FiveCar Train Service on West End Line. CITIZEN TELLS OF VIOLATION. Company Answers That Three-Car Train Was Due to Delay on Bridge, The Public Service Commission came into the Supreme Court before Justice Crane in Equity Term today and asked for a writ of mandamus which would compel the New York Consolidated Railroad Company and the Nassau Electric Railway Company, B. R.

T. subsidiaries, to obey the orders for a "standard service" issued by the Commission in 1913. The suit is directed against the railroad company because of alleged fallby West End elevated line to ura, maintain the, service required in answer and is instituted so that the Public Service Commission may be in a position to have the company punished for violations of the order. The petition for the writ of mandamus presented to Justice Crane recites that, although the Public ServIce Commission issued an order on December 26, 1913, requiring a certain schedule to be maintained on the West End line, for the running of five-car trains at ten minutes headway, timed at the St. Mark's avenue station, three-car trains were run on Friday, November 27, 1914.

Herbert Seiffer, a member of the New Utrecht Improvement League, who was called as a witness by Lawyers Henry H. Whitman and Arthur Du Bols, representing the Public Service Commission, testified that on the day in question he saw a three-car train of the West End line at the St. Mark's avenue station. although he understood that five-car trains were to be run. The answer of the railroad company.

through Lawyer Charles L. Woody, is that there was only one three-car train run on that day and that was due to delay on the Brooklyn Bridge. Mr. Woody explained that a six-car train was run from Park Row to Bath Beach on the West End line after leaving the morning crowd in Manhattan. It has been the custom to uncouple two cars at Bath Beach, send four cars to Coney Island and then hook up the two gears to a returning three-car train Coney Island and send five cars in a train from Bath Beach to Park Row.

On the morning of the alleged violation, congestion on the bridge delayed the eastbound train and the three car train from Coney Island was sent through. It was pointed out by the railroad company that inasmuch as the six car train from Manhattan was twenty minutes late, the entire schedule of the West End line would have been deranged if the train from Coney Island had been held up to wait for the extra two cars. It is further complained by the Commission that the railroad company committed another violation of the order by not notifying the Commission of failure to comply with it; but Lawyer Woody insisted there was no requirement to notify anyone of an omission of the kind that occurred. Justice Crane asked the Public Service Commission to submit a brief, and said he would hear further testimony later. VALUE OF FIRE DRILLS Education Official Wants Laymen to Pass on System.

Associate City Superintendent William McAndrew of the Department of Education intends to have the fire drills of the public schools a appraised by a committee of laymen. He has asked The Eagle to announce that all principals of the schools who want to get the advantage of outside opinion on rapid exits to notify him of their desire. "This is in no sense a competition between the schools," said Mr. McAndrew, "but an opportunity for laymen's judgment. The schools wanted are those whose classes come out by twos, not in single file, whose children are under complete control in the stand up like real Americans and who street as well as in the building.

Those are the chief points entering into the appraisal." SEMINARY CLUB ELECTS. Brooklyn Heights Organization Named Miss Hunter President.

DODGED SUBMARINE'S SHOT. British Steamship Arrives After Exciting Flight Under Fire. Chased for two hours by a submarine that fired shots at the British steamship Toro, which the steamship sped a zig-zag course and escaped in darkness and fog, was the experience reported here last night by Captain Steele of the Toro, from Hull.

Captain Steele said he first sighted the submarine when about three miles off the Scilly Islands, and that he ordered a full head of steam, increasing the vessel's ordinary speed of nine knots to eleven. He also ordered the lifeboats manned and swung out, ready for any emergency. Some 5 of the shots, he said, came within fifteen feet of the Toro. LOST AND FOUND.

DEBUT OF LYDIA LOCKE In Aborn's Second Night of "Faust" at Academy. There was a change of principals, last night, at the Academy of Music, in the Aborn production of "Faust," and an avalanche of flowers was piled up for a soprano debutante in the role of Marguerite. She was Lydia Locke, who is in private life Mrs. Orville Harrold, wife of the sweet-voiced tenor of Hammerstein's operatic ventures. Her voice is of pure soprano quality, somewhat lacking in volume and brilliancy, but sweet in tone and of crystalline purity.

In the nervousness attending a first operatic performance much may be condoned, and the evident conservation of voice for the thrilling final trio of the last act was really an artistic piece of work. In the jewel song, Miss Locke was to be admired for her careful and distinct enunciation, and, while the performance lacked the customary enthusiasm which a young girl shows over gifts of brilliant gems, there was shown throughout the presence of reserved power. In the finale, Miss Locke rose to the occasion, and her singing was full of dramatic fire and the promise of great future success. Less happy was the substitution of Oneto Andrea as Faust, for the fiery Italian, Domenico Russo. There is a raucous strain in Mr.

Andrea's voice which detracts from the sweetness and soundness of tone requisite in SO fascinating a lover as Faust should be. Moreover, the blending of the voices was at times far from satisfactory. Of the remainder of the cast, again only praise can be recorded. While the chorus is weak on its feminine side, it was more at ease last night than it was 011 Monday evening. The orchestra, too, was fuller in tone more prompt in following the conductor's baton.

Messrs. Kreidler and Kaufman were again in splendid voice, and the performance went with refreshing swing which warranted the freely expressed approbation of the audience. DEATHS. McLEAN---On April 20. 1915.

This involved also the question of whether any compensation would be paid by the B. R. T. for the use of the incline. Under the provisions an Act of the Legislature, the operating company was to furnish extra payment, to the Bridge Department.

It. is claimed, however, that the subway is part of the Rapid Transit system, and that the special bridge legislation is superseded by the general Rapid Transit Act. In the meantime, while the debate on the question continues, complete Centre Street Loop service is still dream of the future, and Brooklynites are unable to make full use of which has cost $18,809,896.49, a sub-4 way independent of the several hundred thousand dollars expended for the incline.
