Home r. Knowing of Delaware, min Mayor-elect Gaynor was too busy today to add to his statement of Saturday night, in which he made known that a burglary had been committed at bis summer home at St. James. Judge Gaynor rctureud last evening to his Eighth avenue home from St. James, and was engaged to-day in the preparation of a speech to be delivered to-night at a dinner to him by members ot the bar of the city.

Through his stenographer, Judgo Gay-nor said that the account, of the burglary published In the Press, the same as that of the Eagle, was correct. There was nothing further to be said. It was apparent that the mayor-elect is not certain what was taken from his St. James home, or. Indeed, that anything was taken.

He thinks that some letters were taken. The nature of them, however, he does not disclose. The library was entered through a win-don some time within the past two weeks, the house having been closed up two weeks ago. The library was ransacked, and the floor was strewn with envelopes, letters and private papers. Judge Gaynor is morally certain who was behind the burglary, but he does not purpose doing anything about it.

The fact that someone had entered the house was reported to the mayor-elect by the caretaker at St. James. Ernest W. Cerbracht. former general superintendent of the refineries of the American Sugar Refining Company, was to-day arraigned before Judge Holt in Iho criminal branch of the United States Circuit Court, In Manhattan, on the charge of conspiracy to defraud the United States Government out of a portion of the duties on sugar cargoes, and of aiding and abetting the underweighing of sugar cargoes at ine refinery docks in Brooklyn.

Wlnfrcd T. Denison moved for C.er-bracht's arraignment. Henry F. Maekel-lnr appeared for the defendant and entered a plea of "not guilty." Judge Holt granted a delay cf two weeks, to January 3. to allow Gerbracht to withdraw his pica and enter a demurrer or other such plea as he may deem fit.

The charge Is similar to that on which Dock Superintendent Oliver Splizcr and four of the company's tally clerks or checkers were found guilty last Friday after a three-weeks trial before Judge James Martin of Vermont and a jury. The cargoes referred to In the Gerbracht Indictment are not the same ns those dwel- with in the trial of the other employes. James F. Halligan Is joined with Gerbracht in the indictment. Halligan is one of the checkers named in previous indictmenis.

and Is already under ball to appear when called for trial. The others named in the indictment as co-consplr-ators are James F. Bendernagel, cashier of the Hnvemeyer Elder refinery, upon whose case the jury disagreed on Friday last, and Oliver Spitzer, dock superintendent; Thomas Kehoe, and Edward A. Boyle, checkers, who were found guilty. The first count of the Indictment charges that the parties named and others unluujwn to the Grand Jury did.

The second count charges the parties named and those unknown with conspiring on May 1. 1907, to have such fnlse entries entered, and further that Kehoe.

Boyle and Halligan procured false entries In the United States weigher's dock books and returns.

Increase of Wages to Be Asked, and a Strike 13 The many friends of Michael J. Dady end his younger son, Harry, will learn for the tlrst time this afternoon of the latter's marriage in Jersey City last Saturday. Mr. Dady, the elder, whose long and prominent service in the ranks of Republican politicians has given him a reputation for astuteness, did not himself know, until early to-day, that he had been outwitted and outgeneraled by the blind god. The former Republican leader's first Information, in fact, was received after he reached the office at 050 Fulton streat, where ho docs a contracting bustness, and where he met his embarrassed and somewhat apprehensive son.

Tho younger Mr. Dady, stammering considerably and Hushing furiously, Informed his astounded parent that on last Saturday morning Jie had taken unto himself ns wife Miss Campbell, a member of the "Parisian Widow" company, in which organization she has established somewhat of a reputation as a nimble-footed danseusa. To say that Mr. Dady, the elder, was astonished is putting it mildly. His perplexity was Increased by the fact that he lias, up to tho present time, yet to have the honor of meeting his new daughter-in-law, but he was somewhat molltned by Jiis son's gallant and enthus.astlc declaration that she was the most charming young woman In the world, and he th Siappiest man.

Those who have met Miss Campbell when she appeared recently In ti burlesque company ut the Star Theater iu Brooklyn recently say that she is a charming young actress. Young Worried Over Breaking the News to His Father. A reporter for the Eagle, who called at the office at 350 Fulton street this morn-jng, had the opportunity of hearing of ili Dady's marriage from his own Hps. iHls father had not reached the office and the young man was considerably worried as to Just how he would receive the news. "I am afraid he may not be over-pleased," Harry told the reporter.

"I iave already told mother. She was very trauch surprised, and she said I had better tell father at once. 1 am waiting for liim now." ITarry explained that ho returned only 'nice weeks ago from Cuba, where he has oeen In charge of one of his father's dredging crews. He had met Miss Campbell three and a half years ago, he said, and iad been Impressed with her at once. They became engaged before the young man l-ft for Cuba a year ago, but no one besides themselves was let Into the se-ret.

"We were married In Jersey City last Saturday," Harry said, with a self-conscious grin. "Then we returned to Brooklyn, where the company ended a week's engagement Saturday night. "The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Dr. Spencer.

1 think that Is his name. We were married at his house. The witnesses were M. MillhelBer and Miss Daisy Atkinson. Mr.

Millhelser.is a jeweler, with a place of business in Manhattan, and Miss Atkinson Is a member of i the 'Parisian Widows' company, too. "Miss Campbell went on as usual at the Saturday performance, and later she and 1, Mr. Mlllhelser and Miss Atkinson had a little dinner party in Brooklyn." Harry Is Somewhat Hazy as to Plans for Future. Asked as to his future plans Harry said they were somewhat unsettled. He didn't know just where he and his bride would make their home.

It was evident that the young man was anxious to talk these details over with his father before making any definite announcement. "1 know all about Miss Campbell, and she is the nicest girl imaginable, even if she docs work on the stage." he explained. "She Is twenty years old, and her lather, Richard Campbell, lives in London, where the family home Is. Miss Campbell Is of English people, you know. "I met her over three years ago.

When I returned from Cuba three weeks ago I saw her again, and we decided to get married. Miss Campbell left for Philadelphia yesterday with her company. She would have left the company at once but for the fact that she has a contract. The contract will expire about January 1, after which Bhe will leave the company."
