Rockville Centre, L. November 8- John Smith, dean of builders in Southern Long Island and one of the oldest inhabitante of this place, died at his home in ARREST ALLEGED DEED FORGERY RINGLEADER HERE Stewart S. Wallace Captured by Detectives After He Had Apparently Prepared to Quit Flatbush Home. TRACKED TO HIDING PLACE. Prisoner Pleads Not Guilty to First Degree Forgery and Grand Larceny Indictments and Is Held in $5,000 Bail.

In the arrest and arraignment this morning of Stewart S. Wallace, a real estate broker of 919 Ditmas avenue, Flatbush, District Attorney Cropsey is confident that he has in custody the ringleader of the gang of deed forgers that have been operating for some months past In Brooklyn. Wallace was arrested at 4 o'clock this morning near the Hotel St. George, and the detectives think they were only just in time to prevent a "get-away." The prisoner was arraigned at noon today before Judge Dike, in the County Court, and held in $5,000 bail on an indictment, charging him with forgery in the first degree and grand larceny in the second degree. For some time past Register O'Loughlin has been quietly investigating the antecedents of two spurious deeds, which turned up in his office, with an admittedly forged certificate of a commissioner of deeds.

Working with Mr. O'Loughlin were Assistant District Attorney Perry and Detective William R. Roddy. The result of the Grand Jury investigation, just concluded, de the indictment of Wallace as the head and front of a very clever conspiracy. That there are others in the scheme with Wallace, Mr.

Cropsey is confideut. Sleuths Found Wallace Preparing to Move From Flatbush Residence. The indictment of Wallace was kept very quiet, but news of it "leaked" somehow, and the detectives, Roddy and his side partner, found signs yesterday arternoon at Wallace's nome that an attempt was being made to elude the service of a district attorney's warrant, 'The detective found out that Wallace had which he Detective Roddy had in his pocket. sold a $1,000 auto for less than half that emount, and that the family were packing up furniture as though to move away Wallace was not at home. Their discovery of the wanted man's whereabouts was a clever piece of detective work, and Wallace was very much surprised when they "picked" him up early this morning, where be was hiding on the Heights.

Wallace, who 1g a one-armed man and prosperous looking, had little to say in court this noon when arraigned. He pleaded not guilty, and Assistant District Attorney Perry asked that $5,000 bail be Axed in his case. This Judge Dike granted, and Wallace was sent back to the "pen," to be taken to Raymond Street Jail, pending bail being given. The arrest of Wallace brings to mind the recent stories The Eagle regarding the placing of forged documents on record in the Register's office. Mr.

Perry said today that they had at least six forged real estate transfers to investigate, and that there wasn't any doubt but what more would turn up. The forgery attributed to Wallace affects piece of property in Queens. This is the only Queens forgery so far discovered, the other five transactions affecting Brooklyn property. Mr. Wallace admitted that another man, not yet arrected, but implicated with Wallace, is being sought tor by the police.

According to Mr. Perry, Wallace has recently had a desk in the real estate offices of Howard K. Mackenzie, at 1420 Cortelyou road. Cropsey Explains Clever Method of Swindle. Commenting upon the indictment of Wallace.

today, District Attorney Cropsey had this to say about the case: "It appears that in March last Wallace represented that a client of his by the name of Shea desired to raise $1,500 on second mortgage on some property belonging to him in Queens County. This information coming to the attention of a man by the name of Taft, who nad had previous dealings with Wallace, he negotiated with Wallace for the second mortgage, and the negotiations resulted in an exchange whereby Mr. Taft gave Wallace some valuable bonds and received in return from Wallace the bond of Shea, secured by second mortgage on the Queens County premises for $1,500. "This mortgage Taft took to the Queens County Clerk's office and recorded. Six months afterward, when the interest fell due, the mortgage not having been returned, Mr.

Taft went to the Queens County Clerk's office to secure his mortgage and was then informed for the Arst time that the mortgage had been paid of record, as a satisfaction piece purporting to have been executed by him had been filed on the 14th of May. Thereupon Taft requested to see the satisfaction piece, and upon examining it discovered at once that the same was a forgery. "He then went to the premises and found out that they had been sold by Shea to a Mr. Waas of Flushing, and when he communicated with Mr. Waas he discovered that in May last Wallace, on behalf of Shea, had negotiated with Waas for the sale of the premises and when the title was to be closed Mr.

Waas' lawyer discovered the existence of the outstanding mortgage to Mr. Taft, and on calling Mr. Wallace's attention to this fact Wallace stated that he was familiar with that mortgage and would see the holder of it and secure a satisfaction and present it to Mr. Waas' attorney on the next day. Presented What Purported to Be Satisfaction of Mortgage.

the next day Wallace did appear at the office of Mr. Waas' attorney and presented what appeared to be a proper satisfaction executed and acknowledged by Mr. Taft, and upon the faith of that Mr. Waas a paid to Mr. Wallace the consideration that had been agreed upon, received the satisfaction piece, and put it on record and paid to Mr.

Wallace the consideration money for the transfer. This satisfaction piece was the same that Mr. Taft subsequently pronounced to be a forgery. "Further investigation disclosed the fact that not only was the signature of Mr. Taft forged to the satisfaction plece, but the signature of the commissioner of deeds before whom the acknowledgment was taken was also a forgery.

This is but one of many cases of forged satisfactions, mortgages and deeds in which Wallace and others associated with him are believed to have been involved. A number of such cases have been brought to the attention of the District Attorney's office. Crimes of this kind are most dangerous to the property -owning public, as they seem to put the title of every real estate owner at the mercy of forgers, and it would be well for anyone who has YOUR REAL ESTATE loans on desirable improved property in Greater New York should be submitted to us without delay.

Roddy. Mrs. Wallace Surprised at Arrest of Husband. 919 Ditmas avenue, with his wife and st Stewart S. Wallace has been living at 10-year-old daughter.

The Wallace's have occupied the house for about a year When Mrs. Wallace was seen today and told of the arrest of her husband, she was very much surprised. "That is news to me," said the woman," for I was the opinion that Mr. Wallace was somewhere out on Long Island. I knew nothing of his being at the Hotel St.

George. He left here several days ago and said that he would be gone for a few days on business on Long Island." Up to a week ago, Wallace had desk room in the office Howard K. MacKenzie at 1420 Cortelyou road. He conducted a real estate business. He has not been seen or heard of for week by those In MacKenzie's place, and when he left he made no mention of going out of town.

It was also learned that Wallace was once a very wealthy builder. He was a member of a firm, It is said, that constructed most of the dwellings at Arverne, L. and he also built up that section of this borough known as Ditmas Park.

S. BOARD FAILS TO GET CONSENTS FOR SUBWAY LINES Begins Advertising Notice of plication to Appellate Division for Appointment of Commissioners for Queens Route. CLARK ST. TUNNEL HELD UP.

Property Owners Fail to Give Permission That Important Lines in New Transit System Be Constructed. Unable to obtain the requisite consents of property owners, the Public Service Commission today began advertising pursuant to the provisions of the Rapid Transit act that it will apply to the Ap- I pellate Division of the Second Judicial Department on December 2, at 1 o'clock, for the appointment of three commissioners to determine whether the proposed rapid transit railroad connecting the Queens end of the Steinway tunnel with the Queensboro Bridge Plaza and the lines to Corona and Astoria snail be built. This route is one of the most important lines for Queens Borough in the system of rapid transit. as the Steinway tunnel will be connected with the existing subway In Manhattan, and by connecting it with the proposed rapid transit lines in Queens the regidents of that borough will be given the opportunity of riding to any point on the present subway system for a single fare. The Commission has been earnestly striving since early last summer to get the consents a of property owners to the I extent of majority, in value, of the assessed valuation of property along the route, as required by law.

These consents it has been impossible to obtain, owing to the opposition principally of property owners on Ely avenue, who ohto the construction of an elevated railroad in that street. The Commission waited until the last day before advertising this application, in the hope that sufficient property owners would hand in their consents. but these were not obtained before the time limit and consequently the Commission has determined to press its application to the court. This will mean some delay in the completion of the Queens rapid transit lines, but there is 110 way to avoid the delay, as the Commission's only alternative is the application to the courts. Clark Street Tunnel Route Held Up, Too.

Pursuant to published notice, counsel to the Publie Service Commission today made application to the Appellate Division, First Department, for the appointment of three commissioners to determine whether the proposed Park place, William street, Clark street rapid transit route shall be built according to the plans fthe Commission. There wag no opposition to the application, and it is expected that the court will appoint the commissioners in short time. Application was made to the court because the Commission had failed to procure from porperty owners consents to the building of the route to the extent required by law, namely, a majority in value of the porperty along the route. Certain property owners in William street opposed the building of the road. as planned, and refused to give their consents.

This route is the connection provided by the Commission between the proposed Seventh avenue subway, to be operated by the Interborough Rapid Transit Company, and the Brooklyn subway, operated by that company. It leaves the Seventh avenue line, in West Broadway, and runs through Park place to the United States Post Office Buildins. under that building to Beckman street, to William street, down William street to Old Slip, and from there by tunnel to Clark street, Brooklyn, and up Clark street to a connection with the existing subway.

CONNECTING R.R. MAY BE HELD UP BY INJUNCTION Contracting Co. Temporarily Enjoined From Constructing Great Bridge Spanning Ward's Island. STATE AUTHORITIES ACT. Allege Work Would Be Injurious to Insane Patients--Chief Engineer Expects Difficulty to Be Adjusted.

An injunction restraining the Edward M. Jenks Contracting Company from further preparations for the construction of the big bridge with which the Pennsylvania and New York, New Haven Hartford Railroad systems propose to and span Hell Gate and Ward's Island, was obtained today. It was a temporary injunction granted by Supreme Court Justice Newburger on the application of Attorney General Carmody, through Deputy Robert T. Byer. The Injunction was asked on the grounds that the Insanity Law forbids the erection of any structure on Ward's Island without special legislative enactment.

Deputy Attorney General Byer says that the railroad company has 110 legal authority, and therefore no right construct the bridge. He a said, moreover, that the inmates of the hospital on Ward's Island would be seriously 11- noyed and disturbed by the noise and confusion resulting from a railroad bridge being so close to their dwelling. The question of whether or not the injunction shall be made permanent or be dissolved will be argued next Tuesday morning in Part Special Term of the Supreme Court. Ward's Island Leased by State From City. Ward's Island is the property of the City of New York, but it is occupied by the State under a fifty years lease.

The State has from $5.000,000 to $6,000,000 11- vested in the buildings of the Manbattan State Hospital on the island, where there are at present 4,750 patients, it being the largest number in eny of the State hospitals. The present action was begun when the contractor began driving piles for the building of a dock for the landing of steel and iron and other supplies to be used in building the immense span over the island. Entire Undertaking of N. Y. Connecting Railway Involved.

The entire undertaking of building the New York Connecting Railroad, which involves 11 expenditure of $20,000,000, ineluding $13,000,000 for the bridges and viaducts, is under way from end to end. and from $3,000,000 to $4,000.000 has already been expended, a number of the foundations bridge abutments being completed and all of the steel work for superstructure has been rolled out at the The company obtained a charter from the State and the right to condemn the' necessary property, also a franchise from the city, but it was unaware of the provision in the insanity law above mentioned. Hospital Commission Permitted Survey of Island. The State Hospital Commission allowed the railroad engineers to make surveys across the grounds and to out a right of way varying in from 89 stake, feet to 120 feet, across the Island, and apparently thought at the time that the State charter was all that was necessary. The new structure would cross the island about 200 feet from the main dormitory and living apartment, and the hospital authorities say that not only the work of building would excite the patients but the operation of trains would be highly Injurious to such an excitable population and render cures much more difficult.

They say that as near an absolute quiet as is possible is necessary for the successful cure of the insane.

Sunday, the Rev. I. MacDonald omelating. Interment in Greenwood Cemetery, Postmaster Is Anxious to Grant Men the Day, if the Public Approves. HE SEEKS PEOPLE'S OPINION.

If There Is No General Objection, the One Delivery on That Day Will Be Omitted. Postmaster Edmund W. Voorhies has under advisement a plan to give as many as possible of the carriers and clerks a holiday on Thanksgiving. He believes that it is only reasonable that these men, who toil every day in the year, in the service of the government, should be permitted to eat their Thanksgiving dinner with their families. The postmaster, through The Eagle, expects to receive expressions of public sentiment on this matter.

The part which will effect the public most is that the one delivery which is made on Thanksgiving. in accordance with the rule for every holiday, would be discontinued. It will be on this point that the postmaster would like to hear from the public. The heaviest mails are Saturdays and Mondays. All of the force at the local post office could not be dismissed.

But those who deliver and collect mails, as well as a large force of clerks, could benefit by such an arrangement. It will rest elltirely upon the expressions of the public sentiment whether or not these men will be given a to eat Thanksgiving dinner with families. chance, It is not belleved that the publie will object to the suspension of the one delivery. The postmaster, however. is proceeding very cautiously and will not act until he knows how those effected by such an order are disposed to look upon It.

Should there be objection to the suspension of the one delivery no holiday will be granted. Postmaster Voorbies is in favor of giving these men such a holiday, as is done In all commercial and mercantile establishments, and hopes that it will receive the approval of the public, THE REALTY MARKET Auction Sales at the Real Estate Ext change.
