STILL PROBING BAIL CASES. Grand Jury Not Through With Investigation Prompted by Commissioner Fosdick's Report. The Grand Jury this morning, following its investigation into the matters taken up in the report of Commissioner of Accounts Fosdick in connection with "professional bondsmen" magistrates' courts, brought in TO indictments with its usual weekly batch, and it was understood that the investigation had not yet been completed. There was a case in court before Judge Fawcett, however, in which a bench warrant was issued for a man out on a bond, which was considered of uncertain quality, and he was brought in and remanded until he could find another bondsman. This phase of the professional bonding business was developed by Chief Clerk Devoy, who, since the Fosdick report, has been going over the bonds of those arraigned on indictments and out on bail to see what he could find.

He found several cases he thought suspicious and reported them to Judge Fawcett. The first was that of Daniel Shedd, alias Daniel Crawford, indicted for grand larceny in the second degree in February last and balled by Michael J. Feeney, who gave 1408 Sterling place as security. This man and his property was the subject of particular attention In Commissioner Fosdick's report. Another man out on bail and his bonds.

man came under the same sharp scrutiny. This was Thomas Carraher, an agent of the Prudential Insurance Company, charged with grand larceny in the second degree, and out on bail furnished by Otto Leyer of 226 Bushwick avenue. In court this morning Carrather said that he was acquainted with Leyer and had paid Leyer for going on his bond. There were several others, and it was decided to issue bench warrants and bring in all that could be rounded up and insist upon other bonds being given. Shedd was brought into court yesterday afternoon, and he will have to furnish another bondsman.

The same course was taken with Carraher this morning, as others are arested under bench warrants they will have to do the same. The report of the Commissioner of Accounts tells of the frequency with which Feeney figured in bail cases, and Mr. Devoy finds that Leyer also goes on many bonds, and both of them, Mr. Devoy says. in cases which have been heard before Magistrate Tighe.

MUST PAY THE INSURANCE Jury Does Not Believe Rosenzweig Robbed His House. Plaintiff's House Was Entered by Burglars and $465 Worth of Stuff Taken. A jury in the Pennsylvania avenue municipal court to-day brought in a verdict awarding Louis Rosenzweig of 410 Van Siclen avenue $300 in a suit which he had brought against the American Bonding Company of Manhattan, which insures its patrons against loss by burglary. Rosenzwelg had insured in this company, and some time ago his house was entered by burglars and $465 worth of jewelry and other goods stolen. He applied to the company for his money.

But-so his lawyer. Solomon Rosenblum, who is also his father-in-law, stated in court company refused to pay to the claim. They said that Rosenzweig had robbed his own house to, get the Insurance money. The jury didn't think Rosenzweig would do a thing like that, and found in his favor. THEY HAVE SUED MAGISTRATE.

Three Prgygockis Claim They Were Illegally Arrested--They Themselves Were Stabbed. The cases of August and Joseph Pohinsky of 127 Twenty-sixth who are accused of stabbing John Stanislavis and Stanley Prgygocki of 125 Twenty-sixth street, on August 8 last, came up in the Court of Special Sessions yesterday, and continued again until June 18, upon motion of William Hurley, their counsel, who said that one of his witnesses could not be present. The cases have attracted considerable attention, from the facto that the complaining witnesses brought suit against Magistrate Geismar of the Fifth avenue police court, asking damages aggregating $30,030, alleging false imprisonment. The motion to continue the case was vigorously opposed E. Shirt, who appears for the complainants.

He alleges that the three Prgygockis were arrested connection with the stabbing affray, and "sent to Special Sessions, without being arraigned or given an opportunity to plead. He secured their release on a writ of habeaus corpus granted by Justice Aspinwall in the Supreme Court. WILL ACT TO AID CHURCH. Vaudeville Stars to Appear to Help Presentation Building Fund.

LIFE PROBABLY SACRIFICED Relatives Refused to Let Surgeons Aid Her. Two Valuable Hours Were Lost-Mrs. Fitzgerald Now Comatose in Hospital. When Mrs. Annie Fitzgerald, 45 years old, of 485 Broadway, was stricken with apoplexy late last night, her relatives called 'in a policeman and at their request he summoned an ambulance.

In response to the call Dr. Cohen came from the Eastern Hospital, but, according to the those in charge District, of the woman declined to allow him to examine her, explaining that they wanted the ambulance from St. Catherine's Hospital. Dr. Cohen claims that he warned the relatives of Mrs.

Fitzgerald that from what be could judge she was seemingly in a bad condition and advised them to allow him to make an examination. They persisted in refusing and he returned to the hospital. When 8 call for the ambulance was sent to St. Catherine's Hospital the vehicle was in service and could not respond. In the meantime the condition of Mrs.

Fitzgerald had grown rapidly worse, as she developed cerebral hemorrhage, with paralysis of the left side and loss of speech. Two hours had nearly elapsed when a trict Hospital, and when Dr. Cohen second nd call was sent to the Eastern Disreached the house he found the woman in a comatose condition and removed her to the hospital. All efforts to revive her failed, and it was said this morning that she would probably die. CAN GIVE FREE SHOWS Coney Island Hotel Men Upheld by Higginbotham.

Do Not Need Show License to Give Moving Picture Entertainments, Magistrate Higginbotham took issue with Corporation Counsel Archibald R. Watson on a question of law in the Coney Island court yesterday afternoon when he decided that the moving picture entertainments provided by the Coney Island botel keepers for their guests are not common shows, and hence do not need any licenses. Plainclothesmen Cunningham and White of Inspector 0'Brien's staff had secured evidence against the places of Elias Dicker and Peter Spiros a about a month ago to the effect that they were running moving picture entertainments without having licenses, which, in the opinion of the Corporation Counsel, they must have. The hotel men didn't deny the facts as presented by the police, but rested their defense on the question of law. and yesterday Magistrate Higginbotham SuStained their view of the matter and ordered their discharge.

Detectives Miller and Becker of Captain Galvin's staff had secured summonses for nineteen more hotel men concerning whom similar facts had been gathered, so that the court room was crowded with hotel keepers and their friends when the court opened yesterday afternoon to decide the matter. STRONG MAN LOST HIS SUIT Queens Jury Refuses to Mulct the Brooklyn Heights R. R. Kandrathe Wanted $25,000 for Inter. rupted Honeymoon Buggy Ride Through Brooklyn and Injuries.

A honeymoon, which consisted of a drive about the streets of Brooklyn, did not end very satisfactorily for Anthony Kandrathe, the professional strong man who lives at 119 First avenue, Brooklyn, and his satisfaction was not increased when, yesterday, a jury in the Queens County Supreme Court refused to compel the Brooklyn Heights Railroad to pay damages for causing the interruption of the honeymoon. Also, the fact that the strong man has recently been very successful in feats of strength on the stage did not help his case. According to Kandrathe's testimony, he was married on September 25, 1906, and then he and his bride started off on their honeymoon, which was a trip about Brooklyn. At the corner of Kingsland and Greenpoint avenues a trolley car of the Brooklyn Heights line jolted the buggy, and bride and bridegroom were tossed into the street, causing injury whereby Kandrathe had to take to the bad and remain there for three weeks. He said he was injured in a great many places, and his good right arm, which formerly could lift 250 pounds, could no' now lift half that much.

These injuries had interfered with his previous ability to earn $5,000 a year from professional engagements, he said. But attorney for the railroad got it before the jury that very recently Kandrate had engaged in a stiff wrestling bout in which he came off successful. Although he sued for $25,000, the jury, after being out a short time returned a verdict for the railroad company. HAS $700,000 CAPITAL. (Special to The Eagle.)

Burnside of Hartsdale, N. Y. LEGGET RESIGNS FROM BROOKLYN CITY BOARD Financier Gives Up Directorate of Railroad Corporation He Has Held Many Years. ACTION NOT DUE TO SUIT. Big Judgment in Favor of Brooklyn Heights R.

R. Will Be Appealed. David G. Legget, for many years a member of the board of directors of the Brooklyn City Railroad Company, has the board and financiers resigned speculating as to the reason for his resignation. When seen this morning at his office In the Long Island Loan and Trust Company, of which he is one of the vice presidente, Mr.

Legget stated that he resigned from the directorate of the company because he is going to sail for Europe next Tuesday, and wished to be free from that much business responsibility. Mr. Legget said he expected to remain away all summer and would spend his time 111 rest and recreation. Advancing years. he said, are prompting him to relieve himself of the cares of business as much as possible and the resignation from the Brooklyn City board was simply a step in this direction, and that the recent decision in favor of the Brooklyn Heights Railroad and against the Brooklyn City had nothing whatever to do with it.

Mr. Legget's resignation, however, has drawn attention to the Brooklyn City Railroad, which is a subsidiary of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company. A few months ago, D- Herrick as referee, handed in in the suit of the Brooklyn Railroad Company, which is principal subsidiary of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit, against the Brooklyn City Railroad Company, in which he found in favor of the plaintiff, in the sum of $3,356,983.63. This is probably the largest judgment ever awarded in Brooklyn. The Brooklyn Heights Railroad Company has a 990 year lease of the property of the Brooklyn City Railroad Company, and pays an annual rental of 200.000.

According to officers of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company, suit was not what is known as a "friendly action." It arose out of the lease, which was made in 1893, and was begun ten years ago, the trial continuing down to the time of Referee Herrick's It had been all along the contention of the Brooklyn Heights that under the terms of the lease, the Brooklyn City agreed to -Issue $8,000,000 worth of in bonds and $3,000,000 in stocks-and to expend the proceeds in electrifying the Brooklyn City Railroad Company's system. It was in June, 1893, that the Brooklyn Heights took possession of the Brooklyn City as lessee, and the work of electrification, already commenced, was carried to completion. At that time the directors of the Brooklyn Heights were large stockholders in the Brooklyn City, system. In 1896 the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company took over all the stock of the Brooklyn Heights Railroad Company and Colonel T. S.

Williams, as vice president of the B. R. T. began an inquiry to determine how the Brooklyn City Railroad Company had discharged its obligations to the Brooklyn Heights Company. The result was that in 1900 the Brooklyn, Heights Railroad Company instituted an action against the Brooklyn City for the purpose of recovering the unexpended balance of the $6,000.000 then estimated to be about $2.000,000.

In hie report Referee Herrick decided that $1,740.258.38 1s due the Brooklyn Heights Railroad Company as principal. and $1,616,680.15 as interest. On the day following the filing of the Herrick report the executive committee of the Brooklyn City Railway Company met and voted unanimously to appeal from the referee's decision. NO ONE CLAIMS BODY. Despite Clews, Remains of Musician Who Killed Himself Near Forest Park Are Unidentified.

Still unidentifled, the body of the musician who committed suicide in Forest Park on Wednesday afternoon is still in St, Mary's Hospital, Jamaica, where be died from self-inflicted wounds. The authorities seemed puzzled that the body of a person upon which were found 60 many clews leading toward ideptification should remain for 60 long a unclaimed. It is certain that ho had friends, for the picture of a young woman of about his own age was found in the back of his watch, but where this young woman resides is a mystery. Further, his supposed initials have been published, but, although they ought certainly to be a positive means to identification, no one with a missing relative whose initials are has as yet come forward to even view the body. The fact that the musician had torn some pages from a blank notebook seem to show that he took every precaution posgible to hide his identity before he fired the shots.

HERESY CASE AT ASSEMBLY Presbyterian Convention Will Consider It. The Rev. Dr. Little the New Moderator-Evangelistic Services Held. Atlantic City.

May 20-With all the opening formalities cleared away, the commissioners settled down to business to-day when the Rev. Dr. Charles Little of Wabash, was elected moderator late afternoon, after a 'yesterday short contest, called the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church to order. Following the opening devotional exercises the annual reports of boards and papers from presbyteries were received, after which evangelistic services were held. A matter of interest to-day was the committee selections the moderator Is to make.

One of the most important of these is the Judicial committee, which has the handling of many important matters tha: come before the assembly. There is considerable speculation as to what will become of the New York heresy case. This case involves three students of Union Theological Seminary, who were licensed by the New York Presbytery. A minority of the presbytery sent a protest to the New York Synod which took no action, and an appeal wag taken to the General Assembly. The students in- volved, it is said, refused to accept, among other things, the belief of the immaculate conception.

ADMIT THEFT OF BRASS. Michael Cattrell and David Brewster, two young men who were employed in the factory of the National Gauge Company at 168 Eighth street, were arrested today by Detective Fennell of the Fifth avanue police station, on a charge of petty larceny. George M. Cowenhoven, preaideft of the company, accused the lads a2pi having stolen $1.50 worth of scrap 3 las. The two pleaded guilty.

THERE ARE differences in title-Insurance as well as in other insurance: differences that ought to be known before making your cholce. LAWYERS TITLE INSURANCE AND TRUST COMPANY CAPITAL $4,000,000 SURPLUS 5,500,000 100 Broadway, New York. 188 Montague Street. Brooklyn, 375 Fulton Street, Jamaica. CHEMIST PAYS IN $660 TO ANALYZE A RACE TIP Brooklyn Apothecary Says That He Met a Stranger and Was Taken in.

TELLS OF FAKE DEALAND LURE Victim Declares That Man Got Money by "Get Rich" Plan. John P. Perant, a chemist of 360 State street, this borough, 1s short exactly $660 because he had too much confidence in a man who was going to show him how to make money easy-and make it off the ponies, at that. The man with the scheme is Walter Clayton, 32 years old, and when he was arrested last night and locked up in police headquarters he gave his profession as that of an actor and his address as 245 West Fifty- second street, Manhattan. Some months ago Mr.

Perant, according to the story he told the police, read a most attractive advertisement in a New York newspaper. The advertiser said he had something good. All he wanted was a little money to popularize the proposition. There was wealth in the scheme it he could get the capital do push it. Did anybody know where he.

could And 8 partner? Perant Seeks Investment. It looked good to Mr. Perant. He had some capital. And he was willing to get rich quick.

He arranged to meet the philanthropist. who was going to make his fortune for him. He had two conferences with him before a final agreement was made. At A the second conference, according to Perant's story, his new found friend told him that there would be something doing shortly--that a big killing was all framed up, and he would get the tip on March 25. On that fateful date (always speaking by the doleful story Mr.

Perant unfolded to the police) Mr. Perant met Mr. Clayton (who says a dreadful mistake has been made, by the way), in a room in the Windsor Hotel at street and A Seventh avenue, Manhattan. Into that very room the tipster was to come. The partners were to put up $1,000, $500 each.

Mr. Perant turned over his $500 to his guide, benefactor and friend. Then 1 he was a full partner. The guide, benefactor and friend, after a hasty search of his pockets, discovered that he was just $160 short of having his $500 with him. So he borrowed that amount of Mr.

Berant, the chemist said. At that moment a man entered the room and beckoned to' Mr. Perant's partiner. He was a strange man to Mr. Perlent.

But Mr. Perant's partner knew him. The strange man and Mr. Perant's partner conversed in low, mysterious whispers for a few moments. Then Mr.

partner said the tip had come would now go out and play the horse. Mr. Perant let him go. In a few moments he returned, looking very downcast and dejected. "We have lost our money," he said, sadly.

Disappointed, but not suspicious, Mr. Perant left the Windsor Hotel: But when he thought the matter over his suspicions became aroused, He finally wrote a letter to police commissioner about his partner. And the sleuth hounds of the law rounded up Mr. Perant's partner last night. The suspect, who is languishing in police headquarters to-day, says a terrible mistake has been made somewhere or other.

He did have dealings with Mr. Perant, he says, but they were strictly honorable. He had a scheme, it is true. But a fake scheme? Never! NOT A HAPPY MARRIED YEAR Belkas Had Been Man and Wife for Sixteen. Man Had to Get His Own Breakfast and Sometimes His Supper, and Is Tired, Albert W.

Balka, 46 years old, of 326 Twenty-Arst street, who was a Vermont farmer up to the time he came to Brooklyn with his wife and six children, a year ago, told Magistrate Geismar in the Fifth avenue police court to-day that morning during fifteen of the sixteen years of his married life he had had to prepare his own breakfast. Belka was arrested by Officer Gordon on a warrant which Magistrate Nash had issued. His wife, Ottille, charged him with not supporting her. Mrs. Belka was quite ready to admit that their married life had been a stormy one, "Hasn't there been one happy year?" asked.

Magistrate, Mrs. Geismar. Belka said. "Well, he's your only husband, SO you weren't happy with him you weren't with any other man." "We only raised children," the woman stated shortly. The six children, ranging in age from 15 years to years, were in court.

Officer Erbrecht for the Children's Society is investigating circumstances. Belke said that in adition to having to get' his own breakfast he generally had to get his own suppers. Only last night, he said, he "made the beans" for bis supper. He said he did not care to tell all his troubles until he got a lawyer, and Magistrate Gelsmar adjourned the case until Monday. Belka had $5 with him, and was told to hand $2 over to his wife.

Marle Mahon and John Keating, bation offers, will investigate the procase. THEATER FOR JAMAICA. Hyde Behman Company Secure Plot for Modern Playhouse in Fulton Street. Jamaica is to have a theater in the near future, -it is planned of the largest finest in Greater New and to be oDe York. Richard Hyde, president of the Hyde Behman Amusement Company, yesterday secured through Edward Fitzgerald a large plot on Fulton street, next to the postoffice and opposite the town hall a On this site Mr.

Hyde will erect a theater and office building. The Fulton street frontage is 87 feet, and the depth to Fleet street is 334 feet. No better location could be secured for such a purpose than this property. The Long Island Railroad depot is almost in the rear, and car lines on Fulton street will make the theater easily accessible to Brooklyn and a large territory Queens. (ISAAC H.

CARY RESIGNS POST AT MUSIC SCHOOL Two Changes Made in Board of Brooklyn Master Institution. NO FRICTION, IS DECLARATION. Treasurer's Accounts Will Be Cared For by Miss Ella M. York, Two changes In the board of officers and directors of the Master School of Music, at 96 Clinton street, have been announced. Isaac H.

Cary has resigned as treasurer, at the suggestion of the directors, so that he might lessen the burden of detail work which falls upon his shoulders in that office, and at the same time make it more easy for the school to transact its business without consultation with him. When asked about the matter this morning, Mr. Cary told an Eagle reporter that he in no way had severed big active participation in the atfairs of the school, but had merely lessened his routine work as financial head of the institution. Mr. Cary declared that there was not the slightest friction of auy kind, and said that his resignation was due merely to the thoughtfulness of the directors in attempting to decrease his labors.

The school found it a source of some inconvenience to have the accounts kept at Mr. Cary's real estate office, at 200 Fulton street, and hereafter they will be in charge of the registrar, Miss Ella M. York, and kept in the school building. As a member of the advisory and investment committee of the school, Mr. Cary will have general supervision of the accounts.

The election of Mrs. Frederic B. Pratt to the office of secretary has been announced, to fill the vacancy left by Mrs. Charles M. Bull and Mrs.

Andrew Dougherty, who resigned as recording and corresponding secretaries, respectively, about a month ago. The two offices will be combined into one, and Mrs. Pratt will have a place among the women directors of the school. Mrs. W.

S. Packer, the dean of the school, stated this morning that Edward Falck, the assistant conductor and coach of the Metropolitan Opera House, has been secured to aid Mme. Aurelia Jaeger, the active directress of the conservatory, in her work. Mr. Falck will not relinquish his duties at the opera house, but will spend a part of his time in the Brooklyn school as a chorus master, coach, teacher of the literature of music and allied capacities.
