Offers Amendment That No Pension Shall Be Over Is Lost. (Special to The Eagle.) Albany, April 11-Mayor Mitchel will have the teachers pension bill presented to him for signature or veto late today or tomorrow. It passed the Senate two weeks ago, and after a bitter verbal battle, that lasted for three the measure was passed by the Assembly late yesterday afternoon. By hard work, Assemblyman Ellenbogen, for the measure in the Lower House, backed up by Senator Lockwood of Brooklyn, introducer in the Senate, succeeded in rounding up just five more votes than the bare majority of 76 needed for passage. It went through by a vote of 81 to 49.

Ellenbogen was supported in the Lower House by both Majority Leader Adler and Minority Leader Callahan. Assemblyman Fertig of Manhattan, introducer of the opposition bill, was leader of the antis, and he obtained the aid of Assemblymen Shapiro and Ahern, both of Brooklyn. Shapiro presented an amendment proposing that no pension should be more than $1,750 a year, and for a time it looked as though he would be able to force it through. Even the friends of the measure were alarmed seriously and there was talk of compromise. The supporters of the bill.

however, finally determined to fight it out on the bill as it stood. Assemblyman Welsh of Albany, who is one of the strongest speakers in the House, made a vigorous appeal for the original bill and against the amendment. It was voted down, 81 to 41, and with this encouragement a vote on the original was forced immediately and resulted in its passage. It Mayor Mitchel approves the measure it will have to be signed by the Governor before becoming effective. The bill provides a substitute plan for the bankrupt voluntary teachers pension system.

By the terms of the measure, the city takes over the old fund and the obligations outstanding under it. For the future it provides that teachers shall have pensions equal to one-half their salaries at the time they retire after service of thirty-five years, or after they reach the age of 65 years. The contributions to the fund are arranged so that the teachers will give one-half and the city one-half. The minimum contributions of the teachers will be 3 per cent. of their salaries, and it ranges from that on up to 8 per cent.

for those near the retirement age. VETERANS PLAN REVIEW. Thirteenth Regiment Organization Also Arranges for Dinner.

With teh capture of a vigorous young burglar, in which three women, a man and a boy participated, the police of the Miller a avenue station announced that there would be an end to the many robberies of homes in that section during hours when householders are at the moving picture shows. Before he was subdued and sat upon, pending the arrival of a policeman, the burglar inflicted painful injuries on his captors, and one of them, Miss Henrietta Klein, is in a serious condition in the Jewish Hospital with a bullet wound in her back. The burglar, who described himself as Harry Boyce, 24, of 158 East Thirty-third street, Manhattan, was caught by Mrs. Lens Levy in her apartments on the second floor of 854 Sutter avenue, last evening. She had been visiting the Kleins, who live on the floor above, and when she returned home she found that the hall door had been jimmied open.

Inside she saw a young man. She screamed, and 1 the two had a rough and tumble fight. In a moment Morris Klein, his wife, Ray: his daughter, Henrietta, 22, and his son, David, 11, came down from upstairs and helped Mrs. Levy subdue her prisoner. The youth drew a revolver and with butt end hammered the heads of his would -be captors.

During the melee two shots were fired, but the struggle continued, and finally Mrs. Levy and the Kleins got him floored. Little David, who had SO far escaped injury, fell on the sidewalk and got a big bump on his head when he was running to the Miller avenue station for a policeman. He brought back Patrolman Arthur McLoughlin and after another fight Boyce was landed in a cell. Detectives James McKeon, William Donnelly and Frank Dougherty, after taking one look at Boyce, said they recognized in him a young man who had done time in Elmira and other institutions for burglary.

They questioned him for more than an hour, and then made the annoucement that he admitted participating in several burglaries where numerous homes were entered and robbed while the householders were at the movies. The prisoner's pockets did not contain any of Mrs. Levy's belongings, but Detective McKeon brought back from the youth's Manhattan abode a huge blackjack. About three hours after the encounter with the intruder Miss Henrietta Klein felt a pain in the back. Her mother discovered she had been shot, and she was removed to the Jewish Hospital in an ambulance.

In the excitement of the battle with Boyce she was not aware that one of the bullets from Boyce's revolver had struck her. When Boyce was arraigned before Magistrate McGuire in the New Jersey avenue police court he was confronted by fifteen housewives of the Arlington section, which is some distance from the Levy home, each of whom was asked if she could identify him. Boyce was charged with burglary and felonious assault. He waived examination. His case was referred to the Grand Jury and he was locked up without bail.

He is 5 feet 8 inches tall, of medium build, and has dark hair, which is wavy on top. Today he wore a dark, loose-fitting coat and a dark fedora hat.

Private Thomas Allen of Company Forty-seventh Regiment, was held in custody by the Army officials at the Brooklyn armory today, pending an investigation into the circumstances of the shooting of Louls Feuerstein, 76 years of age, of 62 East 112th street, Manhattan, by Allen yesterday afternoon at Park avenue and East 114th street, Manhattan. Allen, it was stated at the armory, was taken into custody following the I shooting, on the orders of Captain Stephen Tiffany of Company B. The regimental officers today refused to discuss the case. Colonel Ernest E. Jannicky stated that an investigation of the matter was being made and that he would say nothing for publication until the investigation was concluded.

The sentiment among the enlisted men at the armory, however, was that Allen had acted within the orders given him when he was patrol the New York Central tracks along Park avenue. eVrsions of the events leading up to the shooting, as given by eyewitnesses, differ. The witnesses agree that Feuerstein attempted either to cross Park avenue at a forbidden point or walk along the street close beside the railroad tracks. Allen, according to the witnesses, ordered the old man to return to the sidewalk and keep away from the railroad structure. There was an gument between the two, and finally the old man turned and walked back toward the sidewalk, Allen following a few steps behind.

When the old man finally reached the sidewalk, some witnesses state, he turned about and struck Allen with his cane. Other witnesses assert that the old man merely raised his cane and threatened to strike the sentry. At any event, Allen defended himgelf from the attack or threatened attack by discharging his rifle. Allen claims he fired three warning shots, and that when the old man continued to attack him, fired a fourth shot. This entered the old man's hip and penetrated his abdomen, killing him instantly.

Allen was promptly relleved from duty by a corporal and sent back to the armory in Brooklyn, where he was placed in custody. The shooting created great excitement in the section and the reserves had to be called out to quiet the crowd which gathered. Allen is 22 years old and boards at 54 South Sixth street. None of his neighbors could tell much about him today. He went to Peekskill with the Forty-seventh last summer and when the regiment was mustered out of Federal service he secured a transfer to the Twenty-third and served with that regiment on the Mexican border.

After returning from Texas in January he secured a re-transfer to the Forty-seventh and was assigned to Company B. PREPARE FOR WAR WORK 200 Committee of Fifth A. D. Hears Patriotic Addresses.

His dispatch, dated April 10, says: "Unarmed steamer Seward of New York, with machinery and miscellaneous cargo, New York for Genoa, abandoned after encountering German submarine April 7, 11:45 a.m., some thirty-three miles northwest by north from Vendries, France. Entire party thirty-one, including captain and seven officers, arrived Barcelona last night, April 9. At time of encounter, submarine fired shell across bow, flying two unintelligible signal flags, about one minute later fired second shell over ship. Submarine then disappeared.

All on board immediately took to two lifeboats. About ten minutes after second shot and when 300 to 400 yards from the Seward, submarine came to surface again and approached lifeboats, captain of Seward being ordered on board submarine. After being questioned as to destination of Seward and ship's papers, captain was ordered to make for shore, about 25 miles distant, with his two lifeboats. Submarine's crew went on board abandoned vessel. "Seward's party does not know whether Seward was destroyed or not, although the chief engineer states he heard faintly two explosions after lifeboats were out of sight of Seward.

Submarine flew German flag. No other ships in sight and fine, smooth weather most of the time. Cutting wind came up and sea became rough, making rowing dangerous before the two lifeboats reached land at 9:30 and 10 p.m., respectively at Cibero and Banyuls on the French coast. Of the Seward's party, 24 claim American citizenship, 4 Spanish, 1 Jamaican and 1 Venezuelan."
