Eaird, president of the Williamsburgh Savings Bank, who was 80 years old today, was given a pleasant surprise by the trustees and the officers and employees of the institution. When Col. Baird reached the bank he found all the trustees with one or two exceptions, and all the employees crowded into his office or gathered outside the door. He did, not know what to make of their presence there at first. He was not kept long in suspense, for soon after he had l.iade his way to his desk.

Mr. S. M. Meeker Vice President called the meeting to order and Secretary Edward T. Hor-will explained the object of the gathering and called upon Herbert V.

Gunnison, who speaking for the other trustees congratulated Col. Baird on having reached the 801 milestone in life and presented to him an inscribed enameled desk clock. Col.

The names of Democratic County Leader McCooey and former State Senator William J. Heffernan, now Deputy County Clerk under County Clerk Kelly, were brought into the probe of the State Agricultural De. partment before Special Commissioner George Gordon Battle today.

Both names were included among those who had sought to aid persons accused of violations of State laws and department rulings. There was introduced as evidence the photostatic copy of a letter from W.J. Heffernan to Calvin U. Huson, one of the commissioners of the Department of Agriculture, under date of July 23, 1914. In this letter W.

J. Heffernan, refering to a cas 'against Antonio and, Dora Castellin of H37 Third Brooklyn, used this language: "I trust you will do your utmost to have this case taken off the record." The parties named were charged wilii having sold impure olive oil and the case was being prosecuted. I'nder date of August 7, 1914. a let ter from Deputy Commissioner Cole the copy showing in the lower left hand corner the letters "HKC" to Senator Heffernan. was.

put into the record. This letter read: Mv Dear Senator Commissioner Huson requests me to say to you that the case against Antonio and Dora Castellin of 937 Third Brooklyn, will not be prosecuted, as il has been discontinued." John H. McCooey, the Brooklyn Democratic leuder according to a letter purporting to have been written and signed by him and sent to Commissioner Huson. was active in behalf of his constituents. His letter was dated August 1.

1914, and was written on the letter head of the Democratic Exeojittve Committee of Kings County, lt follows: My Dear Commissioner Allow me to transmit for your information a notice which was served on Mr. Henry Holtman of 1513 Broudway, Brooklyn, calling for Ihe remittance of $50 as a penalty for having sold process butter which was not branded as required bv the statute. 1 do not believe he would intentionally commit an Infraction of the Agricultural laws and I am Informed he has already taken steps to remedy existing conditions. This being his first offense, as I notice none other Is recorded in vour office. 1 will greatly appreciate any courtesy you can properly extend, to the end that the action mentioned in this transaction may be determined by mutual agreement.

With best wishes, etc." The reply also put into the record, purporting to be sent by Mr, Cole, follows: "Dear Mr. McCooey On my return this morning from the State fair and other meetings, I found your letter of the 1st Inst. You may Inform Henry Holtman of 1613 Broadway, Brooklyn, that he need pay no further attention to the penalty letter dated July 1, 1914. and signed by O. L.

Flanders, counsel of this department. The case has been discontinued." Manhattan's Waning Power (From This Morning's World.) Whatever prophecies of a political nature the registration figures may Justify, they prove beyond a question that the political supremacy of Manhattan is irrevocably lost to Brooklyn Last year's excess of 18.905 registered names across the bridge was not a fluke; Brooklyn's lead this time, with much less of a rush on the final day, is 18.418. Fear of political domination by Manhattan and by Tammany was one potent cause of Brooklyn opposition to the consolidation of Greater New York a generation ago; and not without reason. Even twenty years ago New York County, then including the Bronx, commonly voted 80,000 more names than the other three boroughs combined. This year, with woman suffrage adding heavily to the total of voters.

New York County registers nut 36 per cent, of the total for the city. In this respect Manhattan's standing does not Improve. While its in crease in registration this year almost exactly balances that in Brooklyn, such increases as 11.000 in the Bronx, 5.000 in Queens and 2.000 in Richmond, all scored In a political off-year, show tho continuing tendency toward the decentralization of power. And the best of it is that nobody, probably not even the more disinter ested Menhattanlte himself, regrets in the least a tendency so inevitable In the swift development of the metropo lis. Brooklyn's Voting Supremacy (From This Morning's Sun.) The last estimate made by the Health Department of the populations in' the boroughs of this city credited Manhattan with about 700,000 more souls than Brooklyn.

But the regis tration this year shows, as it showed last ear, that Brooklyn has nearly 20.000 more persons who are eligible andxwilling to vote than this island can boast. li it that Brooklyn is more public spirited than Manhattan? It would be safer to say that the influence of woman suffrage is more evident. Brooklyn has nearly 20,000 more women than men; In Manhattan the sexes are about even in number. Brooklyn has less Illiteracy than Manhattan. But the chief reason why Brooklyn casts a larger vote than Manhattan is that she has about half many aliens as her neighbor.

When it comes to election Brooklyn Is the more American borough. CAVALRY TEST RID Fort Ethan Allen.

Representatives of the unions and employers In the printing trades con torversy disagreed today as to the probable outcome of the action of- three international presidents in demanding last night that Samuel tiompers. president of the American Federation of Labor, take cognizance of the stand taken by tho Central Federated Union of New York in support of tne striking pressmen and feeders. The letter embodying the demand which was 150111 to (lompers was signed by Marsden IS.

It also asked that the Central Federated Union be made to xpcl the delegates of the striking pressmen's unions; or, if it fails to do that, that its A. F.

he said. At the headquarters or rransnn Union No. 23, one of the two "outlawed" pressmen's unions, however, it was stated that iSamuel "would not dare" to interfere In tho printing situation here. It was also said four more shops had given in to, the union's demands, but the names of the concerns and the number of men affected could not be learned. Marsden G.

Scott, president of the International Typographical Union, stated that he did not see how the Executive Council of the A. F. of L. could do anything but act favorably on. the letter, as the Central Federated Union had been guilty of a direct violation of the laws of the American Federation.

Edward I. Hannah, president of the C. F. said today that the Executive Council of the A. F.

vice president of the International Pressmen's and Pressmen's Assistants Union, placed the responsibility of the continuance of the deadlock in the printing trades up to Leon H. Rouse, president of "Big Six." Ke said it is the "hypocrisy of Leon H.

The Bronx Home News and the Atlantic, a Greek paper of Manhattan, was similarly affected. For Ihev'lrst time in 42 years the daily Long Island City Star will not be pub lished today because of the walkout. Unless the men return during the day the management of the paper intimates they will have Manhattan printers do the work.

Several other papers in Manhattan of loeal circulation have had similar walkouts in the past week. In Brooklyn. Chat. 1 Weirfleld was threatened with a walk-out last week, but the publishers tempomrllv complied with the demands of tinmen. The Fulton Advertiser, 16 Shepherd was also held up bv a threatened exodus lust week, but the men were induced to return to work on the old conditions, with the under standing that they would receive the same terms as all the other pressmen and compositors now not at work.

W. E. Johnson, publisher and editor of the Item and Home Talk, stated today that he was petting his papers out without help. Fourteen compositors walked out last Monday, and three pressmen before that. OF DEATH, SUCCUMBS TO WHITE PLAGUE Noted Daredevil Dies at Last at Greenville, S.

of a Thousand Thrillers. Greeneville, S. October 14 Rodman Law, aviator and parachute leaper who startled Xew York, Chicago and other cities by his feats, died today at the Camp Sevier Hospital of pulmonary tuberculosis. He was a first class private in the Aviation Corps and a brother of Ruth Law, the aviatrix. The death in an army bed of Rodman Law, professional daredevil, who risked death in a thousand different forms for the entertainment of a thrill-loving public, ends one of the most adventurous careers of all of the noted daredevils of recent years.

For moving picture companies, for fairs and carnivals, and for his own amusements. he risked his life as often as twice a day for years, attempting unusual and hazardous feats, in many of which he was seriously and painfully injured. His success at achieving the almost im- nrkcaihts won him wide fame.

Burglaries Involve $7,000. Still wearing his smart uniform of a chief petty officer in the United States Navy, Robert Allen, 19 years old, of 725 Flatbush arrested on a charge of burglary, was arraigned before Magistrate Steers in the Flatbush ave. court today, ufter he had furnished the police with information which they say will clear up virtually all of the numerous burglaries in the Flatbush section since the early prt of August. Allen, who has been attached to the United States Marge office In Manhattan for more than tw-o years, has been married but two months and his girl bride was in court with him this morning. He waived examination and was held for the Grand According to the police the young officer acted as the tool of one of the most skillful burglars they have ever been called upon to deai with.

They have a perfect description of this man and expect to arrest him at any moment. Allen is said to have admitted his part in fourteen burglaries and to have taken Detective Frank Johnson, who made the arrest, to the scenes of his crimes. The police believe that when Allen accomplice la taken a number of other robberies will be explained away. The robberies admitted bv Allen total nearly $7,000. For the niost part the loot consisted of Jewerly, much of which has been recovered from pawn shops scattered throughout the greater city.

A list of the fourteen homes Allen admitted robbing and the valuables taken follows: F. W. Roberts, 1168 East 31st on August 9, H0 in money and a revolver. Henry Hamburger, 1630 Fast 2L'd August 18, jewelry valued at $150, of which a watch was recovered. Percival Trudean, 2415 Avenue September 3, t-j and small jewelry.

jewelry valued at 100. David Kerr, a sea captain, of 2822 Avenue K. September 4, $300 worth of Jewelry, all recovered. This was the third robbery at Mr. Kerr's home.

net-over Some of Sherman Gems. Richard B. Sherman, 568 Westminster September jewelry valued at $4,500 and $150 in money. Of the jewelry, a diamond lavalliere valued at $700 and two diamond rings were recovered. This was the largest single haul discovered.

Charles A. Highan, 884 K. 19th September 29. jewelry valued at $500, of which a lavalliere and other small pieces, have been recovered. V.

A. Fox, 1 345 K. 26th jewelry valued at $100. of which a gold watch was recovered. Mrs.

Albert Doerle, 1715 18th September 29. jewelry worth $200. A brooch and a diamond pendant have been recovered. Melville Lucas, 1 620 E. 22d $75 in money.

Mrs. Ella H. Schleck, 1134 E. 19th September 29, jewelry valued ut $250 most of which has been recovered. Mrs.

Schleck lodged the complaint on which Allen was arrested. Although apparently naturully gifted with the ability to enter other people's houses by other than the conventional means, according to the police, young Allen showed plainly thai he was serving his novitiate by the trail he left In disposing of his loot. He pawned it broadcast throughout the city, but frequently used his own name in place of an alias, and his naval uniform, while winning him the confidence of the pawnbroker, likewise aided Detective Johnson In following his trail, once it was picked up. The detective, who is attached to the aVnderveer Park station, has been working quietly on the case since the beginning of the long series of robberies. Piece by piece he has recovered most of the stolen jewelry, and out the description gradually obtained from a dozen or more pawnbrokers, succeeded finally in running down his man in Ihe Naval Barge Office.

Since his arrest, young Allen has done everything in his power to' aid the police in tracing the man who. he says, planned and directed all of the robberies. AIR PILOT L. W. DOTY OF POSTAL SERVICE IS BURNED TO DEATH Baltimore, M.I., October 14 Lyman W.

The question whether the character of Louis Markowitz, star witness for the prosecution in the case by court-martial against Lt. Com. Christopher Marsden on charges of receiving graft is to be attacked by witnesses, held the center of the stage at the trial at the Navy Yard today, the second day of the case for the defense. Markowitz, the self confessed go-between in the naval graft transactions and the best bet of Lt. Leonard tho Judge Advocate who is trying to prove that Marsden is guilty of taking, was the subject of the testimony of Miss Kniina l'eal of 1 758 West Ninth secretary tf the firm of Dieges Clust of Manhattan.

Miss Peal was introduced as a witness by Klmendorf Carr. cnunoi for the defense, to prove that the char acter ot Is such as to discount heavily from the importance of his testimony and to prove that he was the head and not an aceompliee in a conspiracy to exact graft from applicants for enrollment In Ihe naval reserve. Miss Peal dodged several questions Then as the counsel for the defense tried to ask others, he was met again and ngain Ivy objections from the Judge Advicate who contended that the testimony was not relevant. The rest of the day was taken up with the interrogation of men who were employed in the office of Lt Com. Marsden.

It would have been accepted aa a rebuke to Judge Gary and his refusal to meet or to confer with the leaders, us well as a denial of his principal that the issue wus a moral one I hat was not susceptible of arbitration. So far as the Committee of Fifteen Is concerned they faced a difficult and delicate situation. The conservative members of the People's Group, who, after all. were the real umpires, took the broader view of the question which carried them beyond the mere present and into the wider field of ultimate resolutions as applied to Labor as a whole. Had it decided to arbitrate the strike, there is no reason why similar demands should not have been made by other organizations that the committee undertake the adjustment of other great strikes the longshore-men's walkout, which has threatened the food supply of New York, as an example, or the strike and walkout of printers in New York, which has paralyzed the periodical trade and is costing publishers hundreds of thousands of dollars.

As one member of the conference expressed himself to me this morning: "The conference was culled by President Wilson to survey the entire Held of labor, to investigate conditions and suggest remedies that would effect not one trade but the entire body of American industry. For the Industrial Conference to halve its work, is Impossible. It has to do with labor as a whole." That the decision of the committee can be construed as a n-iui. hm Hnry individually or the United States Steel Corporation, is not. I believe, the thought of a single member of the people's group and of certain of the more, liberal of the employers' group also.

And yel it will bo extremely difficult to convince Organized Labor to the contrary. As for the radical and extreme element in the ranks of the striking sleel workers, the action will not i-phglhen their hands, it is a distinct rebuke. The general result so far as the public is concerned will be to throw the whole question into llie ni'- for public information. Discussion'! on the resolution will be in the open, although at the meeting- this moj-ninrr it looked for a time as if the star chamber might close its doors upon debate. It w-as' upon a suggestion that all resolutions ntllrmalively recommended by the steering eomittee be read in open meeting and then turned over to each protip.

who would retire decide what action would be taken upon them. This would leave nothing but the bones of direct voting for the public. All debates would be carried on in the group meetings. The opposition to such procedure carried the day, and debate will be conducted within hearing of the newspaper men. Talkfost Is Foreshadowed.

Unless there is a material change in the methods of procedure, the Conference will develop into a ialk-fest. This was emphasized in its treatment this morninf- of the steel strike resolution. The entire morning session, with an interval for recess of half an hour, which lengthened to an hour, was spent In discussion of a method of procedure which was not settled when adjournment, was taken at 12:30. The T.ahor Group. I am informed, is satisfied with the present course of the Compers resolution, although it would have preferred that the Steering Committee send it out with an affirmative recommendation.
