The Brooklyn Daily Times. FIFTY-FIFTH YEAR. BROOKLYN, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 14, 1903. PRICE TWO CENTS. COAL RIOTS AUGURED TO AWAKEN CONGRESS Senator Tillman Begins His Threatened Attack on Roosevelt and Attorney General.

DEMANDS FREE -IMPORT FUEL. VEST RESOLUTION RAISES SMALL WHIRLWIND IN SENATE. Senator Claims Credit Ahead of Time for Democrats if Any Action Is Taken-Coal Crisis Continues. WASHINGTON, Jan. Benjamin R.

Senate this morning, carlith desk piled Tillman, S. was his seat in with books and papers, which he proposes to utilize in the attack he announced yesterday he would make to-day upon the President and the Attorney General for their alleged responsibility for the present coal famine. He joked with several Senators upon the number of volts there would be in the live wires he had declared he would throw about the Senate chamber this morning. Mr. Hoar (Mass.) introduced a lengthy resolution of inquiry directed to the President, which asks what form of government exists in the Island of Guam, and by whose authority and by what authority the former insurgent Mabini is detained there.

Upon his request it went over until to-morrow. The Vest resolution to place coal on the free list was then taken up. When Mr. Tillarose at 12.30 o'clock, the public galleries were well filled. There was a large representation upon the floor.

Mr. Tillman paid his first respects Mr. Aldrich (R. who he declared had never before exhibited 90 much earnestness, a climbed to such heights of eloquence, "and all of a little simple resolution." He said that while the duty on coal was insignificant, its removal would aid importations. So far as he knew, if the House a bill temporarily removing duty would meet with no objections from the it Democrats of the Senate.

"If it does come here," he said, "it will be because the Republicans have been goaded into action through the Vest resolution." He spoke of the callousness and coldness of the Senate in refusing to aid the people of the country, and said he believed they would be soon taught a severe lesson if incipient riots were to be considered. "It shows," he thundered, "that man will not starve nor freeze, but if required, will throttle the law." "I am loath," he said, "being a mere layman in the law, to attempt to instruct this body or this Government upon the legal remedies it should enforce. I am likely to tripped upon my knowledge, by Goliahs of the law here, who in their panoply of mail, should trip me up, but I will depend upon my common sense and the documents in my possession to show that we have had sufficient law to prevent this robbery of the people." CLEVELAND IS SUFFERING. Has Fuel, but Dealers Cannot Deliver It Fast Enough. CLEVELAND, Jan.

days of zero weather has completely stalled the Cleveland coal dealers. It is not due to a shortage of coal, but from a failure to get horses and teams to deliver fuel to the homes and business houses of the city. Hundreds of coal bins are empty. Hundreds of people are crying for coal and offering every inducement, even to a money bonus, for prompt delivery, and yet the coal dealers And themselves unable to cope with the demand. Many of the persons engaged in delivering coal in the city worked over time last night in an effort to All the orders, but to no avail.

The cold snap has placed nearly every company in the city in such condition that dunless the weather suddenly moderates they will not be to supply the demand for several days. companies in the city are able, behind in their orders. Free Coal Would Hurt Nova Scotia. HALIFAX, N. Jan.

the press reports that the United States duty on coal was to be removed or lowered, Cornellus Shields, General Manager of the Dominion Coal Company, said last night that such a move would injuriously affect the coal companies of Nova Scotia. The bituminous coal companies in the United States, he said, found their greatest market during the winter, whereas the Nova Scotia companies shipped the bulk of their output during the summer. A conciliatory measure would, therefore, result in the American companies being enabled to ship their surplus product, during the summer to Montreat and other Canadian centres, which are supplied by Nova Scotia mines. Called "Combine to Swindle the People" LOWELL, Jan. a mass meeting on the coal situation held at Jackson Hall last night, presided over by Mayor Howe, resolutions were adopted reciting that "the disparity between the retail price of coal and the cost of coal at the mines is so great as to give the most unmistakable proof of a combine to swindle the people," and appealing to "Congress for the prompt removal tale of the tariff from coal, in order that people of this country may have whatever benefit may be derived from the free importation of foreign coal." Shot While Picking Coal Scraps.

KOKOMO, Jan. Late last evening while Ernest and Mabel Miller, aged 11 and 9 years, were in the alley in the rear of the Apperson Automobile Works, picking up scraps of coal, with which to keep from freezing, Mabel was shot twice by a man said to be Night Watchman Will Jones, of the automobile works. One ball passed through the body of the girl, and the other shot caused a severe flesh wound. The girl will die. Jones was arested and placed in Jail.

REJECTED ITS OWN WHISKEY. John Kissel Submitted It With Lowest Bid to Health Department, but Didn't Get Contract.

John Kissel, a prominent Republican in the Fifth Assembly District, and a wholesale liquor dealer on Harrison avenue, has made a complaint to Health Commissioner Lederle alleging that he submitted some of the Department's own whiskey for use in hospitals in connection with his bid for the contract, and that rejected. Commissioner Lederle informed Mr. Kissel that he would make a thorough investigation, providing Kissel statement in the form of a sworn affidavit. Kissel did so. According to Kissel's statement, he believed when he submitted his bid that it would be thrown out, so he resorted to a little trick.

He put the Health Department samples into his own bottles, and then sent in the lowest bid. The reason his bid was rejected, according to a statement made by a Health Department clerk, was because the submitted were impure. Kissel bid $2,564.50. The contract was awarded to the next highest bidder. When Kissel learned that his award had been rejected 1 he took two witnesses and visited the Health Department.

To Clerk Bell, he said: "Why was my bid "Because," replied Mr. Bell, "you should have submitted a pint, when you only submitted four ounces. The whiskey was not good enough either." Kissel replied that that was strange, for he had submitted the Department's own whiskey. He produced the Department's bottles, from which he had taken the samples. Not only did Mr.

Kissel make a sworn affidavit to this effect, but Joseph Harris, an employee who procured the samples, Joseph Jacobs and Robert E. Voght did alsa. CHAPIN, BOODY, WURSTER.

In this room have hung for years the portraits of the former Mayors of the old City of Brooklyn, with the exception of Mayors Chapin, Boody and Wurster.

Borough President Swanstrom to-day sent a communication to the Board of Estimate asking for an appropriation sufficient to have the three missing portraits painted, so as to complete the list from George Hall, the first Mayor of Brooklyn in 1834 down to Frederick W. Wurster, the last Mayor in 1897. WERE ARRANGING FOR A BALL. But 'Magistrate Naumer Thought Gambling Was Going On, So He Fined McCadden $10. James McCadden, of 199 Fifth avenue, was arraigned before Magistrate Naumer this morning on a charge of maintaining a place for gambling in his apartments.

McCadden's arrest followed the apprehension of ten young men last Sunday afternoon in his apartments. Two of the prisoners pleaded guilty to a gambling charge, and were let off by Magistrate Naumer, while their eight companions were each fined $2. John Hay and Richard Olsen, both 22 years old, and living at 391 Douglass street, were the two who pleaded guilty, and they told Magistrate Naumer when they were arraigned before him last Monday that McCadden received ten cents out of the "pot" every other throw of the dice used in a crap game. It was on this admission that Magistrate Naumer issued the warrant for the arrest of McCadden. McCadden that had the several witnesses in court to testify young men found in his apartments were there for the purpose of making arrangements for a ball.

witnesses testified that a meeting was in progress when the police descended upon the place. Magistrate Naumer in disposing of the case, said that it was his opinion that gambling was going on in McCadden's apartments and he imposed a fine of $10 upon the defendant. McCadden paid his fine.

BEAUTIFUL TOWERS FOR THE NEW BRIDGE Architect Hornbostle's Plans Approved in Part by the Municipal Art Commission. COST TO BE ABOUT $250,000. BREATHING PLACE ON THE ROADWAY FOR SUMMER TIME. Globular Tops of Towers Held in Abeyance Until More Practical Plans Can Be Furnished. The Municiral Art Commission, at its meeting held in the City Hall, Manhattan, sitated by the plans of Mr.

Hornbostel will not exceed $250,000, and the city authorities have already put themselves on record as favoring the change. One of the features of Mr. Hornbostel's plans, as submitted, was not approved immediately, though it was not disapproved. what part referred to the large globular pinacles at the tops of the towers. That the Act Commission may have a better opportunity to know what they will appear adopted, the architect was requested to furnish a model, 80 that a particular idea of the looks of the thing may be gained.

The picture of the tower shown herewith shows a balcony that will be constructed about the towers at the roadways. These will give ample room for a number of persons, and will afford a point from which an excellent view of the river and the city may be obtained. These will also be excellent breathing places during the summer time. A picture of the anchorages show the location of the buildings and the public comfort stations, two of the new features that have been added to the bridge. Small bridges of twisted iron will be erected to form a means of access to the comfort stations on the balcony.

It is also to place a bronze tablet over the anchorages. The balconies that it is proposed to put at the tops of the towers, but which were not approved by the Art Commission, will be seventy-five feet in height, or almost MR. HORNBOSTLE'S SKETCH OF THE BEAUTIFIED TOWERS OF THE WILLIAMSBURGH BRIDGE. yesterday afternoon, approved, in part, the plans submitted by Architect Hornbostel for the embellishment of the new Williamsburgh Bridge. These plans have, in part, been indicated in the Times, but they go far beyond the anticipation then made, and 18 shown in the accompanying pictures, will greatly beautify the structure, giving it a finished appearance.

There has been much criticism of the employment of Mr. Hornbostel, but the Art Commission evidently believes that his labors are necessary for the edification of posterity, even though a slight expense may be added at present time. It is estimated that the changes neces- EXPERT ON WRITING GOES TO RIVERHEAD May Prove Disbrow Wrote Letter Which Disbrow Does Not Deny. A CLOUD OF WITNESSES BUT LITTLE LIGHT THROWN ON GOOD GROUND TRAGEDY. District Attorney's Star Witness Discredited- Benjamin, of Riverhead, Testifies as to Wound on Foster's Head.

(Special to the Brooklyn Times.) RIVERHEAD, Jan. Attorney Livingston Smith, who is prosecuting the case against Louis A. Disbrow, for the murder of Clarence Foster, last June, summoned Hand- a from New York early this morning writing Expert Kingsley, who figured prom- to inently in the Molineax and other criminal in recent years, and three medical excases perts, who are to testify regarding the condition of Foster's head and skull after it was exhumed for the purpose of examination, two months ago. This is not generally taken to indicate that there will be any battle of handwriting sharps. The only matter upon which Mr.

Kingsley is likely to 'De interrogated is the script of a letter that Disbrow wrote to Mrs. Lawrence, mother "Dimp" Lawshortly before the latter's death, and rence, Mr. Miles, for the defendant, admits that Disbrow wrote it. When a Times reporter saw Mr. Miles during noon recess to-day, he said: "Oh, I know what that letter is.

It is unimportant and won't have any great bearing in the case." It was written to Mrs. Lawrence before the occurrence at Good Ground. Mr. Miles said he had not yet decided whether he would call any medical experts. His course depend upon what the prosecution proved.

When he was informed that Mr. Kingsley and the medical experts were in town he merely laughed. He said he was thoroughly satisfied that up to noon to-day the District Attorney had not proved a crime. It is believed that unless Mr. Smith brings out some stronger testimony than he has thus far, Mr.

Miles will move for a dismissal of the case on the ground of no proof of a crime or its commission. Justice Maddox could dismiss the case without submitting it to the jury. Testimony in the Morning Session. RIVERHEAD, Jan. 300 men and half a dozen women were in the court room when this morning's session opened, the prosecution continuing its case.

Two witnesses were not on hand when called. Erastus W. Tuthill, telegraph operator at the Long Island Railroad station, produced the following telegram: Eastport, June 11, 1902. To Mrs. J.

S. Lawrence, care of Corwin, Good Ground, L. Dimp and Clarence Foster are together. I will not rest until I find them. L.

A. DISBROW. The witness could not identify Disbrow positively as the young man who wrote the telegram, though he did identify him at the first hearing. William. Walton was called and said Disbrow showed him the words "Good when he wrote the telegram, but Walton was unable to state that the telegram reproduced in court was the one in question.

District Attorney Smith started in to establish the motive of jealousy when he called the third witness, John S. Lawrence, now of Brooklyn, formerly of Freeport, L. Cather of the dead girl. "Dimp." Mr. Lawrence wore strip of mourning on his left arm.

His forehead was deeply furrowed. He said his daughter was seventeen years and nine months old last June. Disbrow had called on her half a dozen times to his knowledge. On the Friday before her death, Mr. Lawrence said he met Disbrow Good Ground, and said: "Mr.

Disbrow, I don't want you to have anything more to do with my daughter or any member of my family." To this he testified Disbrow replied: "I shall respect your wishes, Mr. rence." Mr. Smith offered in evidence a letter which Mr. Lawrence identified as having seen last May. On the examination, Mr.

Miles, Disbrow's counsel, asked witness, "Was your daughter a or good swimmer?" "She was," he replied. "Did you hear a year ago last summer that she came near being drowned while swimming?" "I do not recollect that I did." Then the District Attorney called to the stand Jefferson Morrell, of 135 East Eighty- THE NEW WILLIAMSBURGH BRIDGE FROM THE ANCHORAGE, SHOWING THE COMFORT STATION. fourth street, Manhattan. He appeared in police uniform, and testified that he had for the past fourteen years been stationed at the New York Morgue and had seen hundreds of drowned bodies. Mr.

Smith endeavored to get him to say that such bodies as purged at the ears bore marks of violence, but his testimony W38 restricted to the point that there were abrasions on Mr. Miles took up the cross examinatiohen The witness said he had never read any medical works on the subject of drowned bodies and didn't know as a matter of fact that some medical authorities recognize that drowned bodies often purge, although there has been no violence. Nelson Squires, owner of the famous leaky boat, declared it was not safe for two persons to navigate. Henry Jacobs, of Good Ground, and Byron Squires, who found two oars on the shore, gave important testimony. William Walton's Story.

Then Mr. Smith recalled William Walton, of Riverhead. In response to the prosecutor's questions he said: "I slept with Disbrow the night after the tragedy. next morning Disbrow said: 'Miss Lawrence and Foster have been a at Hampton Pines Club and went from there to Ternell's. Foster and the Lawrence girl called me downstairs and bade me good-by and they both went off together.

Foster said loved the girl, a loved him, and they went off together. They had a few words, and at the shore Foster grabbed me by the throat and threw me to the ground. Foster was too much for Walton testified further that Disbrow told him that the morning previous, Mr. Ternell called him (Disbrow) downstairs, and wanted to know what kind of a house Disbrow thought he was running. Disbrow said Miss Lawrence was a very nice girl.

Disbrow was shaking. Walton said Disbrow told him that Foster and Miss Lawrence had occupied one room and he another the night before. When Lawyer Miles took up the crossexamination of Walton, he first asked the witness if he had been approached by Chief Detective Fields recently. Walton said he had been twice, and that Fields wanted to know if he not remember having heard Disbrow say to a negro: "I don't look like a man who would hurt anybody; do Walton said told he had not heard Disbrow say any thing. Fields, At this point Mr.

Miles brought out the fact from Walton that he recently was sent to jail for stealing a harness. This fact was set forth in the Times two nights ago. Walton's testimony would have been most damaging to the' defense had it not been somewhat discredited by the prisoner's statement of his record. Wicks Said Walton Had Been Drinking. George H.

Wicks, of Quogue, to whose house Walton went after the night he slept with Disbrow, testified that Walton showed evidences then of having been drinking. During the testimony of the next witness, Herbert B. Homan, of Eastport, a satisfaction passed over the faces of Disbrow and his counsel. Homan testified that Disbrow and Walton were at his hotel the day after the tragedy, and at that time Disbrow mentioned that a girl was away from her parents. Homan said he advised Disbrow to send the parents a telegram.

Like the previous witness, Mrs. Matilda Tuthill, of Eastport, to whose house Disbrow and Walton went, testified that brow acted like a perfect gentleman, while Walton was drunk. Adjournment was then taken until 1 o'clock. The Afternoon -Big Crowd at the Court House -Medical Testimony. Several hundred persons were unable to get into the court room this afternoon.

The District Attorney called first Dr. J. H. Benjamin, a physician, of Riverhead, who made de an autopsy on Foster's body on June 18. He explained that the post-mortem signs of drowning are congestion of internal organs and especially distension of the right side of the heart.

He said there was 110 such distension in this case. The lungs contained some water. Dr. Benjamin further said: "The body would have been found in the condition in which I found it if it had been dead before it went into the water, except the lungs." Dr. Benjamin said the most frequent causes of bleeding at the ears are a fracture at the base of the brain or a wound in the ear.

Mr. Smith asked: "Would an injury to the head which was not sufficient to produce fracture of the skull, be sufficient to produce bleeding at the ears?" "It might." "Is bleeding at the ears a sign of drowning?" "No, it is not." "From the fact that there was bleeding from the cars when would you think a wound had been inflicted?" "It would be impossible to when the wound was inflicted before or after death." The most important piece of testimony that has yet adduced in favor of the defense was given by Dr. Benjamin, under min said made a most careful examimination by Mr. Miles. Dr.

Benjanation. Mr. Smith asked: "Did you see any mark whatever of any kind to show that there had been violence?" "None whatever." "You examined the head, knowing that there had been reports that there was a mark over the right eye?" "Yes." "And your examination was directed particularly to that point, was it not?" "Yes, sir." "Is bleeding from the ears a result of concussion of the brain?" "It results from fracture and very nearly from concussion." What Was Shown by Yesterday's Testimony. Extended inquiry to-day revealed no one of those, either directly or indirectly interested in the case who could see that the District Attorney has brought out a single, strong point against the defense by any of the twenty-five witnesses who testifled yesterday. The only' thing of any significance that was not included in the testimony at the preliminary examination and came to the light for the first time yesterday, was the fact that on the day of the tragedy, Mrs.

Lawrence, the mother of received a letter from Disbrow, in which the young man told of his affection for her daughter and asked permission to call on her. Just the significance of this has not been made apparent, though it looks as if Mr. Smith proposed to show that many acts of the prisoner after the night of the tragedy have a flavor of Insincerity about them, and were designed to help cover: up a crime. -As between the District Attorney and counsel for the defense, the latter has made by far the best impression upon the spectators, Mr. Miles is inclined to be more dramatic than his opponent, though not 80 much so that it appears assumed for the occasion.

(Continued on page 5.) YOUNG GIRLS OBJECT TO A PHYSICAL TEST Training School Applicants Indignant at Being Classed With Policemen and Firemen. THREE DOLLAR DOCTOR'S FEE AND A JOURNEY UP-TOWN MAN. HATTAN TO PAY IT. Board of Education Declares That Only, Physically Perfect Teachers Can Be Accepted in View of Pensions. There is indignation among a majority of the young women who last week underwent the mental examination for admisison to the Training School for Teachers, at the new rule of the Board of Education, which provides that they must pass a physical examination similar to what a or fireman would have to, in And this policeman, feeling is not confined to the young women.

either. It has spread to their parents, who object to their daughters being placed under an indignity, even though the physical examin.er be a female physican. When the Board of Examiners have passed upon their mental fitness for entry into the Training School, students will be required to go to the headquarters of the Board of Education, at Fifty-ninth street and Park avenue, Manhattan, and undergo a rigid physical and medical examination. The students will be taken singly in a room.and be required to disrobe, so that they can be examined thoroughly by the staff of physicians whom the Board of Education will appoint. Each student will be charged a doctor's fee of $3, and none of them knows how much car fare may have to be expended to reach the Board of Education's building and return home perhaps several times.

This announcement caused much demurring and dissatisfaction among the prospective Training School students, when the fact became generally known this morning. Some of the applicants, especially the feminine element, who see the Training School as the only means to help earning their bread and butter, cannot afford to pay the carfare the three physicians' fees which the- Board of Education makes compulsary for them to take the physical examinations. When the announcement was made, a movement was afoot to have the examinations take place in the Brooklyn school. This the Board of Education refused to do, and made the Manhattan place imperative. The reason for this new move by the Board of Education, it is said, is that school teachers who have taught for a certain number of years will be retired on at least half pay, and that only teachers with sound physiques who will-be able to stand the severe strain of imparting their knowledge to others, will be granted a license.

The number of students who took the examination this term is 'somewhat smaller than last fall. Last September, 334 students took the examination, while only 274 applied for entrance in Training School for the coming term. They are graduates from the Girls' High School, Erasmus Hall, Manual Training High School and the Boys' High School. The recent examinations were more severe than previous terms. Music is a new study that was instituted in the examinations, and it is likely that several new studies will be introduced next term.

The Board of Education, it is said, are endeavoring to accomplish too much in too short a time. LIVELY SUGAR MEETING. President Havemeyer Commends Goyernor Murphy for Trust Utterances. as high as from the ground to the top of the cupola of the City Hall. $10,000 Worth of Heat Goes to Waste.
