President Gompers to Speak at Gathering Scheduled in Brownsville To-morrow. Twenty thousand shirtwaist makers of New York City will be on a general strike in a few days. There is to be a mass meeting to-night at Cooper Union. Indeed, there is to be a series of mass meetings. Teikets were printed for Cooper Union, and they were taken so rapidly that it was found that the hall of that institution could not accommodate half of those who desired to attend.

The managers, therefore, hired three other halls--Clinton, Beethoven and Manhattan Lyceum. Since the agitation began for a general strike, thousands of women have joined the within the past ten days. Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, is making a special trip to this city for the purpose of presiding at the Cooper Union meeting. Miss Mary Dreier, president of the Women's Trades Union League, will be one of the speakers, A vote will be taken by the women present as to whether they will strike. There is no doubt, it is said, as to what the vote a will be.

It is practically now decided. On Tuesday night, there will be a similar meeting in Saenger Hall, Pitkin avenue and Watkin street, Brownsville, in this borough, and the same speakers will probably address it. It is estimated that at least 20,000 women will be on strike In the city. So extensive is it to be, that all the halls on the East Side of Manhattan have been hired for the daily meetings of the strikers. The condition of the waistmaking trade is such that the women can no longer earn a living, and wages are going lower.

ENDS FIGHT SPREE IN CELL. John Jacobson Admits His Guilt After a Career of Rows. John Jacobson, 28 years old, who lives at 317 Forty-eighth street, went on a gay time Saturday night and ended up with a trip to a cell in the Fourth avenue police station the next morning, after he had several fights. Hig Arst argument was with a friend at Third avenue and Thirty-ninth street. Then three Italian vegetable dealers at Forty-eighth street tried to do him up.

Policeman Herman Stapf stopped this scrap and had to fight Jacobson in order to get the nippers on. In the Fifth avenue court to-day Stapf charged Jacobson with being a "fighting drunk." Jacobson pleaded guilty, said he would be good hereafter and Magistrate Geismar suspended sentence. CHARGE IS MURDER NOW Mrs. Edwards Dies From Bullet Wounds Inflicted by Ochs. Quarreled Over Distribution of Property-Ochs in the Hospital, a Prisoner.

Mrs. Josephine Edwards of 348 Vermont street, who was shot by her step-brother, Adolph Ochs of 2202 Seventh avenue, Manhattan, died this morning at the Kings County Hospital. The tragedy was the outcome of a quarrel between the man and woman over some division of money and property. The shooting took place Saturday aftera noon when the woman was about to leave the house with her 5 year old daughter on a shopping trip. Four shots were fired by Ochs, at his stepsister, the first one taking effect.

The little girl told Policeman Chris Scribbens of the Miller avenue station that as soon as her mother fell Ochs turned the weapon on himself and fired a shot into his right temple. Mrs. Edwards was 42 years old and Ochs is 52 years old and has a son 14 years old. He was employed as a collector for a brewery. Mrs.

Edwards was the owner of the house in which the shooting took place. Her mother, Catherine Ochs, died last year. By the terms of her will the house was left to Mrs. Edwards and two other children, but no part of the estate to Adolph. On Wednesday last, Mrs.

Edwards sold her one-third equity to her brother, Frederick. Adolph, enraged because he was not remembered in his mother's will, sought vengeance upon his stepsister, the police believe. He is in the Kings County Hospital and a policeman guards him. It he recovers, which is doubtful, will be arraigned on a homicide charge. SETTLE HIGGINBOTHAM ROW.

The differences between Magistrate Higginbotham and his sister, Rita Higginbotham, over $200 claimed by the latter out of their mother's estate, which have come up several times before Surrogate Ketcham, in contempt proceedings, have been finally settled. This was announced this morning in the Surrogate's Court when the matter was called on the calendar, and the case was finally marked off. FACE PICKPOCKET CHARGES. Detectives Cummisky and Fishel, of the local headquarters corps, arrested three men accused of Being pickpockets, last night, on the elevated railroad station at Snedicker avenue and Eastern Parkway.

BIG PROTEST CAUSES A HALT. Several Locations Likely to Be Considered in Connection With New Edifice.

A meeting of the justices of the Supreme Court and of the Appellate vision will be held this afternoon at 5 o'clock to reconsider the site they selected some weeks ago for the new Court House. It is possible, if not probable, that the site selected, the so-called doctors block, bounded by Clinton, State and Livingston streets and Sidney place, will be abandoned. Sentiment among the justices, for and a against the property selected, is divided. A number of them are convinced that it is the best site from many points of view that could be obtained, and decline to be persuaded otherwise. There are as many, if not more, on the other hand, who believe that the protest of the doctors on the block be recognized, and a new plot chosen." The whole subject will be thoroughly thrashed out this afternoon.

No definite indication of the outcome could be secured to-day, the justices all declaring that nothing was settled as yet. They uniformly Genied that the site had been abandoned thug far. "There will be a meeting this afternoon to consider the subject, and there is no telling what will be done," was the substance of statements made by tices Jenks, Burr, Crane and Kelly, when they were asked if, as reported, the site selected had been abandoned. Reports had it that with the likely abandonment of the site, another would be chosen in the vicinity, with a frontage on Remsen street. et.

The reports, however, could not be confirmed. If the justices do not reach a final decision to-day, they may give another hearing to the doctors and other residents of the section, who are opposed to the Clinton street block for the Court House. Controller Metz has also been planning to give the residents a hearing. The is a committee of one of the Board of Estimate, and will recommend to the board whether or not the site selected should be approved. The controller had planned to hold his hearing to but whether he will or not depends on what the justices do at their meeting this afternoon.

A petition of protest has been in circulation for some time past among residents of the Heights, outside the "doctors block." Some seven hundred names have been signed to the petition, and it will be presented to the justices this afternoon, The following petition has been presented to the justices of the Supreme Court: "Gentlemen--The undersigned citizens, taxpayers and residents dwelling in the vicinity of the block bounded by Livingston, Clinton and State streets and having learned that the justices of the Sidney place, situated in the Borough of Brooklyn, City and State of New York, Supreme Court re ding in the County of Kings, by virtue or the authority vested in them by act of Legislature, under Chapter 390 of the Laws of New York, passed May 18, 1909, having selected the said block for acquisition by the city for the purpose of erecting thereon a county court house building, respectfully protest against the said selection, and for the following reasons: "The -neighborhood is purely residential in character. This condition would be altered or destroyed over no inconsiderable area by the erection of a court house, because of the office structures and stores, among them restaurants and liquor stores-which inevitably grow up about public buildings. To lower the value of Brooklyn Heights as a residence district is to lessen the large taxes it pays into the city treasury. We believe that a more accessible site, in the direction toward which the center is growing, can acquirel at no greater cost, in an environment that would be bettered, and harmed, by the placing of a court house."

SODA "DRUNK" BAITS POLICE Lemon Phosphate Leads Youth to Cell in Jail. Attempted to Cause a Stir by Telephoning Bluecoats and Is Caught While at Work. "Hello! Is this the Atlantic avenue police station?" said a voice over the telephone last Saturday night to Lieutenant Eggers, who was at the desk at the time. "Well, this is me.

I'm at the corner of Reid avenue and Fulton street and have just been attacked. I wish you would send up an officer and I think I can And the man." The party rang off and a patrolman started out from the station house on the run. Half an hour passed and no word had been heard from the officer 'when the 'phone rang again and the same voice asked why an officer had not been sent to his aid. The first officer then returned in a short time and sald he had seen nobody and said nobody had used the 'phone in the drug store on the corner all the evenIng. Again the 'phone rang and again the voice threatened to report the matter to Commissioner Baker if help was not sent at once.

Then it dawned upon the lieutenant, after he had sent a third man to the drug store, that there might be somebody playing a trick on him. He called up the telephone operator and asked where all the calls were coming from. It was at Tompkins avenue and Fulton street. Two men were hustled down to the drug store at that corner and in the booth saw a young man just putting a nickel in the box. They listened and heard him ask for police headquarters.

He was taken to the station. "Oh, yes, I called you. I guess I wanted to see what you would do. You see I drank two ice cream sodas and it may have affected me. No, no, I did not want to have an officer.

I know that soda went to my head. It must have been just like a glass of whisky, but I don't know, for I never had one in my life." In the morning he said his name was John Schlitz, 38 years old, of 28 Kosciusko street. Magistrate Hylan fined him $5 on the disorderly charge. The fine was paid, NEGRO'S MOUTH HIS PURSE When He Wants a Coin He Ejects It With Tongue. His Antics Amuse Passengers on Jamaica-Cypress Hills Trolley Car.

He's an Itinerant Musician. An itinerant mandolin player, a negro, whose mouth is his pocketbook, by his actions amused the passengers on a westbound Jamaica- Cypress Hills trolley car this morning. In some part of his mouth the negro has a corner where he can keep his pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters. When he needs to pay out any of this fund the musician merely casts about in his mouth with his tongue and quickly produces the desired amount. The negro boarded the somewhere in the eastern section of Richmond Hill.

After he had been comfortably seated the conductor asked for his fare. The darky's face immediately assumed a peculiar expression. He contorted it strangely and his lips moved in and out convulsively as though he were about to whistle. The next moment he had composed face and mouth and there, between his lips, was, a coin. It proved to be a dime, and this he handed to the conductor.

It seemed that he had no nickel. The conductor handed him a five cent piece for change and this the negro promptly put back in his mouth. The conductor told an Eagle reporter, who was one of the passengers on the car. that he knew the player well and that that worthy keeps all money, except bills, in his mouth. K.

CAPTURE ONE OF NINE WHO FLED BOYS' SCHOOL Policeman Discovers Lad in State Uniform Enjoying Ride Behind Wagon. USE CLEVER RUSE TO FLEE. Guards Are Accused of Aiding Young Prisoners to Avenge Farrell, Of the nine boys who escaped from the roBoklyn Disciplinary Training School in Borough Park yesterday, one has been captured by the police. Charles Batchelder, who was picked up by the police of the Fourth avenue station this morning while riding behind wagon.

His gray uniform, such as all the boys at the school wear, and which he had not beea able to discard or exchange, rendered him easily recognizible. He will be taken back to the school this afternoon, but not to receive the "Star and Srtipes," which captured runaways used to receive under the regime of Superintendent Farrell. The other eight boys are still at large. They are William Roycroft, George Garfman, James Miller, Leroy Robinson, Louis Heist, David Leich, Nicholas Landow and Thomas Ward. The first two, Roycroft and Garfman, led off at 9 A.M.

They broke the lock on the rear gate of the sixteen-foot stockade while their companions diverted the attention of the guards, and fled. Their absence was discovered in a few minutes, and guards rushed to the gate, but the boys had disappeared. At 1 noon, practically the same ruse was worked again, and this time Miller, Robinson and Heist took French leave. Boys Make General Escape. Then orders were given clear the parade ground and shut the boys into the dormitories.

When a tour of the building was made at 5 P.M.. it was discovered that four other boys had gone. They had evidently made their escape by sliding down a rope from a thiry story window. How they obtained the rope is a mystery. It is asserted by one of the employes of the institution, who will not permit his name to be used, that some of the guards are banded together to do as much as they can to discredit the present management of the institution, with a view of trying to show that the administration of Superintendent Farrell was far superior to that of any one else.

He says that he is confident that these employes aided the boys to escape, and points out that it would have been practically impossible for the boys to have made their escape in broad daylight unless the guards purposely shut their eyes. During the investigation by the board of managers which concluded a little over a week a ago, such a plot on the part of some employes was said to have been hatched during the superintendency of Mr. Farrell. Many Have Taken "French Leave." According to the testimony at the investigation, it is no new thing for boys to escape and to elude pursuit. One witness, who was apparently very friendly to Farrell and made charges of conspiracy on the part of employes to get rid of him, said that more than fifty boys had escaped from the school within the past six months.

Justice Ryan of the Court of Special Sessions found occasion to remark on the ease with which boys escaped, only a few weeks ago, Tefore Superintendent Farrell was removed for cruelty. Formerly, the boys said. that they escaped because of cruel treatment, and this is the first time that any have tried to get away since the appointment of the new superintendent. There is no corporal punishment in the school at the present time. Three of the boys who escaped were witnesses against Farrell.

All Defendants but Spitzer Plead Not Guilty to the New Indictment. A brand new indictment was handed down by the Federal Grand Jury in the sugar case this morning. No defendants additional to those already named in the old indictment are included in this, however, which is the third that has been handed down since the commencement of the Sugar Trust prosecution. The Grand Jury was summoned hurriedly this morning about 10 o'clock in the Federal Building in Manhattan and by 10:30. it was prepared to hand to Judge Hough the new indictment which is designed to supersede that which was returned on November 4.

The reason for the new indictment was that the old one was defective in its second count. By a clerical error six words had been omitted and the new indictment was framed to contain the omitted words. The defendants' attorneys, Henry F. Cochrane, George M. MacKellar and exSenator Lexow, were in court this morning ready to argue before Judge Hough the demurrers they had interposed to the second and third counts; but the return of the new indictment by the Grand Jury took the wind out of their sails and reduced their argument to a purely academic basis.

It was based chiefly on the defects remedied by the new indictment. Ex-Senator Lexow on behalf of Oliver Spitzer, one of the defendants, appeared in court to argue for a delay of the trial which is set for next Monday, at 11 o'clock, on the ground that the new indictment handed down to-day was against the explicit orders of Judge Hand, who said that at least two weeks time should be allowed the defendants to prepare. He said that he would not be prepared to go to trial next Monday. Judge Hough refused to hear him further on this, saying that it was up to Judge Martin, who will try the case, to decide whether a delay should be granted or not. Attorney Cochrane then suggested that he was ready to plead to the new indictment of this morning on behalf of all of the defendants but Spitzer, and the court allowed him to enter a plea of not guilty with the privilege of arguing for a demurrer on Wednesday of this week at 11 o'clock.

Mr. MacKellar followed the lead of Mr. Cochrane, and entered a similar plea on behalf of his client, FELL FROM HOTEL WINDOW. Concrete Worker Seriously Injured by Fall at New Hyde Park. (Special to the Eagle.) Mineola, L.

November 22-John Lutz, 27 years old, foreman of a gang of concrete workers employed at Floral Park, is in Nassau Hospital, where he was brought yesterday, suffering from a broken hip, a dislocated shoulder and many contusions of the body. His injuries were caused by falling from a window on the third floor of a hotel at New Hyde Park, late Saturday night. Lutz felt faint, and wept to the window for air. He was seized with vertigo and fell headlong to the ground. His condition is serious.

FOUGHT INSANE MAN ON ROOF Policeman Noll and Citizen Lowe Had a Hard Battle. Charles Wygant Said He Was a Nonagenarian in an Airship Bound for the North Pole, Staid churchgoers on Prospect place, near Classon avenue, were thrilled yesterday by the sight of a crazy fight1ng off Policeman Noll and William Lowe, a citizen, on the roof of an apartment house. After several minutes of dodging among the chimneys and hairbreadth escapes from falling over the edge of roof, the demented man was taken to the Grand avenue police station, where he said he was John Sweeny, 92 years of age, residing in an airship bound for the North Pole. A search of his pockets, however, revealed his name to be Charles Wygant, a young man, of 880 Lincoln road, Flatbush, and the patrol wagon took him to the of the Kings County Hospital. Wygant has been living with his aunt, Mrs.

Marietta Clark, at the Lincoln road address, and she said she had been watching her nephew for the last few days, as he had been acting queerly, and she had suspected that all was not right with his mind. He had been under the care of a physician for some time, but was not thought to be dangerous. How he had got out of the house in the early Sunday and how he happened to get in Prospect' place, she could not tell. GAS DEATH CLAIMS WIDOWER. Accident Proves Fatal to Watchman in the Charcoal Company.

John Schremp, a widower, sixty years old, was accidentally asphyxiated with illuminating gas this morning in the office of the New York Charcoal Company at 106 Grand street, where he was employed as a night watchman. When the employes reached the place this morning they found the office locked. Policemen Snedeker and Fallon were sent to the place and on forcing the door open found the room filled with gas. They weer nearly overpowered and were compelled to wait until the room cleared before they could enter. They found Schremp stretched out on the floor with a blanket beneath him and the gas flowing from an open gas jet.

The burner was one of those without a stop and it is believed that in turning it off he turned it on again and that before he could discover his mistake overcome and fell where he was found. BURROUGHS GETS OFF. Sentence Suspended on Youth Charged With Fighting in Street. Blamed for Companion's Plight. Theodore Burroughs, who was arrested night, along with George McCullough, charged with fighting in the street, was let off under a suspension of sentence in the Gates avenue court, yesterday.

Burroughs, who wanted the police to believe when he was taken to the Ralph avenue station house, after his ar682 St. Marks avenue, has a habit of rest, that he was De a Witt Bancroft, of getting out of trouble as easily as he gets into it. He now claims a home at 68 Macon street. George McCullough, twenty-one years old, of 63 Covert street, who was arrested with Burroughs, after some words regarding two women who had been in the company of the pair, was bailed out shortly after his arrest Saturday night. His friends were surprised to hear of his arrest and are inclined to blame Burroughs for same.

McCullough is well known in the Bushwick section and has never been in trouble before. There was gathering of young men in the a large court when the case was called, as there always is when it is known "Teddy" Burroughs is to appear there. SHIPWRECKED CREW ARRIVES. Captain Oland Tells How the Steamer Avalon's Engine Broke Down and She Went Ashore, Further details of the wreck of the fruit steamer Avalon, which was driven the rocks by the high winds at Buff on Bay, Jamaica, on November 4, were had here to-day, when the steamer Jose arrived from Port Antonio with Captain Oland and ten men of the crew of the Avalon aboard. Captain Oland said the Avalon's engine broke down on entering Buff Bay and the currents and high wind set her ashore on the rocks before assistance could be obtained.

The Avalon's position became perilous and the crew were sent ashore to sleep in tents that night. Heavy seas began to break over the stranded steamer toward morning and the captain left the Avalon when she began to break up. VAUDEVILLE FOR CHURCH.
