Joseph McKlui, 92 years old, a wealthy resident of Far Roekaway, who, It Is alleged, has been confined In tho River Crest Sanitarium, Astoria, since July. against his will, was too ill to be produced before Judge Burt J. Humphrey In the Queens County Court, In Long Island City, this morning, where his niece, Wilhelmia Collins of 97 Clinton avenue, Brooklyn, has Instituted proceedings seeking to give him his liberty and have William Wlllett, removed as the committee of his estate and person. Wlllett, who Is at present under arrest charged with conspiracy with Joseph Cassldy and Louis T.

Wlllett to secure his nomination for Supreme Court Justice on the Democratic ticket, last fall, was present to answer the suit In person. McKim's wife and two daughters, the Misses Fannie and Frances McKim, were represented by Daniel Whltford." The action against Willett was in the house, where he was employed as a watchman. When he was placed on a pension ten years ago he had been a fireman thirty years, and for many yeurs driver of the truck of Huok and Ladder Company No. G2. He was born in Ireland, January 12, 1846, and had lived In the pal Smith reported at the high school defended him In that action and won tne case for his client.

Wife and Daughter Say McKim Is Insane. In discussing the matter at their home In Woodmero Mrs. McKIm and her daughter said they had no knowledge -of the action untl lserved with papers on Saturday night. Mrs. McKim added: "We have beeu perfectly satisfied with matters as they were, and think it is a shame this new move is being made.

We think the niece is being assisted by politicians desirous of bringing further harm to Mr. Wlllet. As far as he Is concerned we must state that we are perfectly satisfied with the manner in which he has conducted these proceedings." Mrs. McKim supplemented the statement by saying; "There is no question that my husband is Insane. About eighteen years ago we lost our son.

and my husband's mind commenced to become unbalanced soon after our loss. I was repeatedly warned by Dr. Hutchinson, our family physician, to look out for Mr. McKim, as he was surely going crazy, year after year, his mania consisting of a belief that I and my daughter were trying to poison him. He always went about the house with a big revolver, with which he often threatened to shoot us all.

"At length he became so violent that he drove us from our home, at Central avenue. Far Roekaway. and lived there alone for two or three years, until ho became sick and was sent to the hospital. After his recovery we offered to take him with us and provide a home for him, but he refused to come with us, saying we only wanted to get him where we could poison him.

Smith, President of Freeport School Board. building on Pine street early this moru-ing, whero he met President Smith, who seemed very much taken aback when hs saw that Principal Smith had taken no notice of the dismissal notice. The conversation between the two It became known today that the steam laundries of Brooklyn are making special efforts to prevent disaffection among their employes and to ward oft possibilities of the strike in this borough spreading beyond the two concerns that are affected. One of the first moves of the Brooklyn laundrymen has been to send ror dto the hand laundries that no more work will be received from them after Thursday at noon, on any week in the future. Several of the larger plants sent out this ultimatum late last week.

Others are expected to do so today. Stuart Nottage, proprietor of the Not-tage laundry, at 1087-89 Fulton street, explained to The Eaglo today how this was expected to ward off trouble. The principal cause for dissatisfaction among the strikers, Mr. Nottage says, is the long hours. These hours are the direct result of the work taken in by the steam laundries from the so-called hand laundries.

Work comes in from them frequently as late as Friday afternoon, which must be completed for Saturday delivery, he says. Consequently, the steam laundries must, work their forces long over time, aud sometimes hire extra help. There are 1,400 of these so-called hand laundries in Brooklyn, he says, and it is from them that the large plants receive the overtime work. Mr. Nottugo explained that it was not the intention of the steam laundrymen who had sent this ultimatum to the band shops to antagonize them, but that it was done simply as a preventive against strike trouble.

No signs of trouble have as yet cropped out anywhere except in the two Greenpoint laundries, whose employes were allied with the Manhattan workers, Mr. Nottage explained, and it was expected that the action already taken by several of the, larger steam plants would be followed by nearly all of the steam laundries in the borough, and if it is done, no laundry strike is to be feared in Brooklyn, say the advocates of the measure. State Board of Arbitration Likely to Investigate Conditions in Laundries. The second week of the general strike started this morning with all hope for arbitration gone apparently. Three members of the State board of mediation are in the city making efforts to bring the employers and employes together and declare they will continue in this work until every effort at conciliation has been exhausted.

This morning Chairman Rogers of the State board said: "It begins to look as if an investigation into the causes which led to the strike will have to be ordered. Should i such an investigation be had it will include not alone inquiries into the hours and conditions of the workers in the laundries but into the sanitary conditions which prevail and the methods of operating the laundries. It will be a moBt comprehenstive investigation." STOPS A SOURCE OF GRAFT. Gaynor Orders Police Not to Advise Victims of Thieves to Pay. Dismissal from the police force will be the punishment meted out in the future to any detective or policeman who conspires with any pawnbroker to compel people whose property has been stolon to pay the amount of money for which the property has been pledged.

Tolice Commissioner Waldo, at the instigation of Mayor Gaynor, sent out a general printed order to that effect today which was read in all police stations. It has been a common practice in the Police Department for plainclothes men to advise victims to pay the money for which their property was pawned. The presumption is that detectives in return received a commission from the pawnbrokers. Tho Mayor holds that a pawnbroker who loans money on such pledge? iB nothing more or less than a receive! of stolen goods, and liable to arrest it he does not gratuitously return the property to Its rightful owner. the case, he said, had not been served on him, but, reading an account In the newspapers of what was going to take place, he thought he would voluntarily present himself in court.

In Bpeakmg of the case ho said McKim was between 92 and 93 years old; that up to the time of his apprehension in July, 1907. he lived alone In squalor and fllth. Ho cooked his own food on an oil stove and always carried a big revolver, which he said he kept In readiness for his wife and two daughters, whom he said were trying to poison him. Willett said that the question of McKim's competency was first passed on by a trlf before a Jury, which declared him incompetent. Next he waB tried before a commission in lunacy, which found similarly, and then Judge Humphrey committed him to the River Creit Sanitarium, and he was appointed a committee to take charge of his estate, which is worth about $40,000 and consists of two frame hotels and an apartment house in Far Roekaway.

He said he never refused the right of any one to see McKim. Ever since his confinement in tho Banitarium he said he had been writing letters to different lawyers, offering them $2,000 to get him out. Judge Humphrey wanted to know how Mrs.

Collins appeared in the action when McKim had a wife and two daughters living. Mr. Maher replied that Mrs. Collins was a very dear niece of McKim and there was the probability of a will; in fact, he said a will was In existence. Mr.

Maher wanted McKim brought from the River Crest Sanitarium and kept in St. John's Hospital, across the way from the courthouse, until the case was settled. Mr. Whitford on behalf of his clients wanted the hearing postponed until Mr. Willett was properly served with papers.

In the meantime word was telephoned to the sanitarium and after a shirt adjournment Dr. William Klliott Bold of that institution appeared in court. He informed Judge Humphrey that the order to produce McKim In court did not state tho date, and in any event McKim could not be produced In court, as he was 111 in bed wilh bronchitis. Then It was ar-ranecii that Mr. Maher and his associates could sec Mr.

McKim any day in the afternoon and the hearing was adjourned to Friday of this week. Bureau Reviews Its Activities of Six Years in Detailed Report.
