POLICEMAN WAS IN THE GAME. 4 )eputy Commissioner Ebstein Also Dismisses Case. Magistrate Tighe to-day dismissed a complaint mad by Capt. Charles Bedell of being common gamblers against William Eagney, a saloonkeeper at 9 DeKalb aVenue; William Kane of 78 Willoughby street; William Harland, of 81 Livingston street, and Patrick J.

Ansbro, of 428 Gold street. The last-named is a policeman attached to the Adams street station, with a special patrol on Fulton street, opposite Loesers. Ansbro was off duty and in citizens clothes when Capt Bedel and his detectives, McCormack and Noblack, foud the four men. playing a game of draw poker in a small room near the bar at 1 oolock on Sunday tpomlng, the 13th inst There was a pile of money in front of each player, according to Capt. BecVll testimony, but he only succeeded in grabbing 7 01 out of the lot.

He got the pack of cards aa well. Lawyer Barnum represented three of the accused, and Judge Haggerty represented Officer Ansbro. in dismissing the complaint. Magistrate Tighe said that to provg. a man to be a common gambler It would be necessary to show that he earned a livelihood bv gambling.

The mere fact that he flayed a game of cards did not constitute a violation of the statutes. The evidence In this esse even that gambling was being carried on was in Itself very weak. He also dismissed a complaint of violation of the liquor tax law made against Eagney on the same grounds. Officer Ansbro was later in the day tried before Deputy Commissioner Ebstein on a charge of playing draw poker in a saloon and falling to make an arrest When the law was being violated. was let off with a reprimand on the first charge, and the second charge was dismissed.

He and Meyers occupied adjoining farms and quarreled on April 10 over the digging of a ditch between the two, properties.

He said that he was coming down a hill with two buckets of water when he saw the blow struck. He had been sent for the water by Meyers, by whom he was employed. Lake said that Meyers had a shoit handled spade In his hand and that he saw him lower It to the ground and bend over it as if leaning on the handle.

By keeping out soft coal he expects to cripple the indue tries and place the operators at the mercy of the striking miners. The miners' convention aided Mitchell' plans.

Inasmuch as the refusal of the men to strike In the bituminous field prevented a rupture with the operators there and thus prevented the anthracite operators from gaining allies on whom they counted. Mitchell and other miners officials say the anthracite operators or disappoint, ed over the result of the convention. The operators would have preferred a general strike. The greatest strike fund, in th history of organized labor will be handled in Indianapolis. The officials are confident that there will be a ready response to the appeal made by the con ventlon, and while a week may not be possible, they believe it will be obtained.

Checks are arriving rapidly, and Illinois has promised 360,000 Wednesday. The first financial assistance has been sent to the striking anthracite miners. Secretary Wilson forwarding to the secretary-treasurers of the three anthracite districts checks for their shares of the $60,000 appropriated by the convention.

Commissioner Ltndenthai, Jt was learned to-day, hai given up his Idea of Changing the width of the Blackwell Island Bridge from 128 to 80 feet, and this probably accounts for the emphatic statement of Mayor Low yesterday that no changes had been authoritatively proposed. Mr. Ltndenthai has also withdrawn his order to Ryan St Parker, the contractor, topping the work, and aeeurance were given at the Bridge Department to-day that the Citizen Committee of Forty of Queen need have no fear that any radical changes will be made in the present plans of the bridge. When Mr.

Ltndenthai recalled the revised plans from the Municipal Aft Commission, he did so at the direction of the Mayor, and was given firmly to understand that the Administration would not countenance any such changes as he proposed. For the pact week the engineers of the department have been busily engaged in putting the plans back in their original shape. The only change which it is definite!) known will be made to the plane is to provide an exit on the bridge for Blackwell's Island. This Is done at the request of the Department of Charities. The promenades on either Bide of the bridge may be placed upon the upper deck, one on each side of the car track, but nothing definite 1 known in thl respect.

Under no circumstance, however, will the width of the bridge be changed. ICIII5T PENN. (II1T The Railroad Committee of the Board of Aldermen will report adversely on the Pennsylvania tunnel contract. A meeting of the committee was held this morning preparatory to the session of the Board of Aldermen. -When a vote was taken on the report a large majority was against the tunnel scheme in its present shape.

It is expected that when the report is read to the Board of Aldermen this afternoon there will be much discussion ot the proposition. There may be quit a contest In the meeting. The member of the committee who have signed the report will make a vigorous defense of It on the floor.

Representative Hepburn Is the chairman of the Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee. He came her on matters pertaining to some minor appointments and business effecting hts State. When asked whether his mission to the President was on the canal question he said no, nor was it on the question of the new portfolio of commerce. Among the many letters received in the Presidents mail was one from Senator Me Lauren, of South Carolina.

In the letter Senator McLauren eeclmes the appointment offered by the President to him of a seat on the United States Court of Claims. (Special to The Standee! Union) WASHINGTON, July information from Wisconsin that counties that sent LaFollette delegates to the recent Republican 8tate Convention are instructing the Republican Legislative candidates for John C. Spooner in the event of their election puts a different phase on the Senatorial outlook, and the friends of Senator Spooner are no1 confident that the humiliating conditions Imposed by the State convention upon Senator Spooner will be generally Ignored and Spooners re-election will occur without the latter doing a thing In the fight. A. i The case was in court yesterday, when the complainants summoned Christian Wutrich, a married man, living at 824 Cental avenue, to explain hie relations with the girl.

After hearing the state ments of the women. Magistrate Furlong directed a complaint charging abduction to be drawn against Wutrich. The latter, was accompanied by his wife, was told 'to wait Owing to tha crowded condition of the courtroom. Wutrich and his wife left unseen, and when the court waa ready for the cose, they were nowhere to be found. Last evening Court Policeman Sheedy visited the house with a warrant for Wulichs arrest, but did not find him.

According to Katherine Ford's story, her parents sailed for Europe three months ago. She and Mr. Wutrich accompanied them to the dock, where her father told her hla friend and to follow hla advice. They went to a boarding 'house In Halsey street, where, the Ford gtrla relatives who are pressing the charge say, he paid her board and vtstted her at times. Katherine denies he paid her board.

8he says she changed her boarding place several times. Fdr several days past she has been at the home of another aunt, Mrs. Pnreaolne, 333 Second street Wutrich did not appear tn court this morning to answer the charge of abduction. Magistrate Furlong adjourned tha case, Katherine Ford being placed in the custody of hr relatives on technical rbarge of nry It was said that Wutrkh a i wife have three chit dr a. The toplo of the hour in is the bids for the construction of the tunnel which were submitted to the Rapid Transit Commission yesterday.

Below will be found interviews on the subject with a number of Brooklyni leading! citizens who have studied the question of local rapid transit for a long time and with city officials some of yrhom, however, have thought It best to 'prohibit the use of their names. Several of the more prominent of the dry goods houses were visited by a Standard Union reporter to-day to ascertain the sentiments of the firms concern-lng the lose of trade which ir is thought would follow if the Belmont interests got the tunnel contract. A member of the firm of A. D. Matthews said: 'Let them get it Give all the rapid transit possible.

I gueee we can stand it Why, were sending more and more goods every day to Manhattan. I guess we can keep our heads above water, tunnel or no tunnel. Mr. Cooper, superintendent at Frederick Loesers, said: What thiol We lose trade 1 Well, now, I guess we can take care of ourselves. No, Im not worrying at all as to the result of the proposed scheme." At Abraham St Straus no member ef the firm was ready to discuss the eub-ject WHAT PUBLIC MEN SAY.

Congressman Hanbury It seems to ms that the B. R. T. is the company which should have the contract. If the Belmont company were to have control of the tunnel it would result in the complication of matter worse than the present conditions.

Congressman Lindsay I favor the bid which offers the most travel for the least money, and it looks to me as though the B. R. T. made the best offer. Senator McCarren Whichever proposition tends to conserve the best interest Of Brooklyn will meet with my support.

I consider th increase Of Brooklyn population and the furnishing ot quick and convenient facilities for travel to and from- Manhattan more important than the development of a rapid transit system that will benefit Long Island further out i 1 Senator Marshall The B. SL T. bid Strikes as being for the best Interests of Brooklyn. I am always in favor of faying five cents for any ten cent article provided the cheaper price does not affect the quality of the goods. Register Neal I am for the plan which gives the greatest facilities to tne people for reaching their destinations and the B.

R. T. proposition seems to meet the requirements morq fully than any other. Assemblyman Woody The B. R.

T. bid seems the beet, though the difference, in cost is quite considerable, and it should hear weight with the Rapid Transit Commission. The first cost should be taken Into consideration the same should the final cost. 1 Levi N. Naylor My opinion ft that the B.

R. T. offer ft the beet for Brooklyn people, and they are the ones who are to be benefltted by the Naval Officer Sharkey The people up in my section want the bid accepted which will give them a five cent fare to Manhattan. The B. R.

T. offer seems to cover this consideration. 4 Records Commissioner Waldo The object In the construction of the tunnel ft to give rapid transit to the outlying districts. If the contract Is awarded to the B. R.

T. the tunnel will be crowded with Its passengers. An express service ought to be run and-tfte Long Island Railroad should be permitted to run train through the tunnel as often as it desires to. It has been my opinion that the trolley system of Brooklyn ought to build a tunnel or bridge devoted exclusively to its service and the proposed tunnel should be used entirely for the purpose of rapid transit to the suburbs and not diverted from Its purpose. CITY OFFICIALS IDEAS.

One prominent city official who did not want his name, used favored accepting the bid of the Beimont-McDon-aid interests. Their bid waa to construct the tunnel for $2,000, Ouo, with an allowance of $1,000,000 for terminals, and tn addition they offered to construct A branch ff the Manhattan subway under Broadway, from Union Square to Forty-second street, for $100,000, provided the Rapid Transit Commission authorised the work by July next One prominent cty official figured it out that the McDonald bid would actually give the city $12,000,000 worth of tunnel work for about $4,000,000. McDonald offers to build the tunnel for $2,000,000, he said, with $1,000,000 for terminals and $100,000 for the Broadway branch: in other words he would construct the Brooklyn utd Broad ay branch for about $4,000,000. Mr. Parsons estimates that the Broadway branch, built lndlvldualy, would cost approximately $8,800,000, and hs estimated that the Brooklyn tunnel would cost about $8,000,000, so there you have about worth of tunnel work for $4,000,000 under the McDonald bid.

On the other hand, the Brooklyn Rapid Transit-Company wants $7,000,000 for the Brooklyn tunnel alone. In other words, It seems that If McDonalds bid is accepted the city will have $5,000,000 on the estimated cost of the work that can be applied to the carrying forward of other needed Improvements." There ft another point that has not been fully brought out The capacity ot-the lunqel will be about fifty thousand a day and the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company carries about one hundred and fifty thousand a day. Therefore all of the people carried by the company cannot possibly go through the tunnel. The trolley cars will not be run through and all of the passengers will be carried by the lines of the elevated roads so with the system of free transfers from all parts of the city there would be about the same congestion at the tunnel as Jhsre la now at the Brooklyn Bridge. The official asked If he knew what company Mr.

Belmont had In mind yesterday when he said that he could offer connections with a surface road In Brooklyn. I am reliably Informed that he had referenot to th Brooklyn, and Coney in Island Railroad which controls the De-Kalb and Franklin avenues and Smith street lines. I understand also that this company holds a number of franchise Brooklyn that have never been developed. I do not know just what streets they cover. The official declined to make any comment on the letter of Borough President Swanstrom, In which he attacked the -Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company and advised the Rapid Transit Commission not to entertain their bid.

Chief Engineer William Barclay Parsons, of the Rapid Transit Commission, when seen, said that he did not care to 1 express any opinion on the bids. GREATSINGER NOT WORRIED. "Weve done our share, said President Greatsinger, when seen this morning, "and it is now up to the people of Brooklyn whether or not they want through service, via the tunnel to Manhattan By this Mr. Greatsinger meant that the people of Brooklyn should attend the public hearing to be held by the Rapid Transit Commission on Thursday text. Every improvement of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Companys system," he said, means an influx of population.

AU business men' will be benefited and property values will be enhanced. A number of prominent business men called upon Hr. Greatsinger this morning to talk over the tunnel situation. Among them were William E. Harmon, of Wood, Harmon St real estate agents of Flatbush.

There seemed to be an lm. presslon that the Belmont syndicate would get the coontract. Mr. Harmon said that the whole Belmont proposition was to connect Brooklyn with the underground system in Manhattan and that the original purpose to give Brooklyn rapid transit was lost sight of. He said that It was simply diverting one-half of the $8,000,000 set aside for the Brooklyn tunnel, to the East side of 'It would be far better, he said, under such conditions of the Belmont syndicate offer that a tunnel to Brooklyn had never been thought of.

It Is simply putting Brooklyn In a far worse position. It is Using the Brooklyn tunnel to complete- the underground of Manhattan. "I hay ftot iftwni or Interest In- th Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company," he said, and only Speak for my own interests. Brooklyn offer a perfect system of rapid transit, Mr. Harmon added that unless the contract was awarded to the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company the congestion on the Bridge would in no wise be relieved.

Mr. Belmont said yesterday that he had assurances from a Brooklyn trolley company which enabled him to practically promise that an agreement would be entered into with that company whereby passengers would be transferred to outlying sections for an ad- dltlona three cent fare. It Is generally understood that he meant the Coney Island and Brooklyn Railroad Company. An effort was made to get a statement from President Heins, of the Brookln and Coney Island Railroad Company. Mr.

Hines refused absolutely to ta'k about the tunnel proposition. CLINTON ROSSITER. Clinton L. formerly president of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company, when asked for his opinion on the great difference In the bids, replied: I am out of the railroad business now nl my views are not worth much. I v.Vuld rather not express them.

Pressed for some definite expression of his views on the subject, Mr. Rossiter said: I have not read the reports carefully enough to thoroughly understand the McDonald bid. If they propose to charge an extra fare, I think it ft a disadvantage to Brooklyn. I think the most advantage- ous bid la the one that gives a straight flve-cent fare to residents of Brooklyn to tha lower part of Manhattan, where a large proportion of Brooklyn people go dallv. PRESIDENT SWANSTROM.

While 1 have not bad time to study carefully the various proposition Involved in the bids made yesterday for the Manhattan-Brooklyn tunnel," said Borough President Swanstrom. "I should say at the first glance that either of the two bids representing the Belmont-Mc-Donald syndicate will result in a maximum benefit to the city at large. Yet there are one or two features In th Brooklyn Rapid Transit bid which would seem to be of advantage to this borough that are involved In the tunnel question. Their bid, "Including the terminal, la practically $8,000,000. The bid of tha Belmont company ft practically $3,000,000, or In round numbers about $4,000,000, including the terminal and real estate.

This would leave a sum of $4,000,000, which could be used by the city of New York for the purpose of making further extensions in the underground rapid transit system. It Would be the duty of my successor to see that Brooklyn obtained its share of this additional fund Yet the proposition made by the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company, which would bind them to give transfers to tli lines in Brooklyn, would save the people of the borough possibly $600,000 a year. This is the estimate made by the company, but tt is possibly too high. Nevertheless, there would unquestionably be a saving to the average cltisen in this transfer system. In addition to this the Rapid Transit Company proposes to run through elevated care in the tunnel.

"he great advantage that would accrue from this In the opinion of men who have studied carefully the conditions of this borough, would be the building up of a section which, without controversy, ft one of the most beautiful and desirable regions in the city of New York. I refer to Bay Ridge and Fort Hamilton. The Elevated Railroad on Fifth avenue would evidently be extended to the Fort and the region Immediately surrounding It would be the theatre ot development aa great as that which has taken place In Flatbush and other suburban (Continued on 4th Page 7th Column.)
