Y. TWO BOYS ON TANDEM IN FIERCE LIGHT DOWN HILL In Effort to Avoid Collision With Trolley They Dash Against Telegraph Pole. BOTH BADLY HURT; ONE MAY DIE Accident Occurred on Force Tube Avenue, Scene of Many Similar 0c- -Pedals Lost as the Lads Cut Around the Horseshoe Curve. Edward Bogert, 26 years old, of 252 Ralph street, and Frank Haller, 18 years, of the same address, while riding down the steep bill in East New York, known as Force Tube avenue, on anytandem bicycle, yesterday afternoon, lost control of the machine and collided with a telegraph pole. Bogert is In St.

Mary's Hospital with concussion of the brain and may not recover. Haller was also seriously injured, but was taken to his home, where he is under the care of a private physician. The young men had taken a ride from their homes to Highland Park, where, after spending a short time, they concluded at 2 o'clock to go out to Queens. In order to do so they had to descend to Jamaica avenue. The only road was Force Tube avenue, a precipitous incline, shaped like mense horseshoe, about a quarter of a mile long, reaching from the eastern extremity of Highland boulevard past the Ridgewood reservoir, down to and across Jamaica avenue.

It 18 a very dangerous road, and on it there have been many serous accidents, as riding down Force Tube avenue on a bicycle 1s like falling off the side of a cliff. The wheel upon which the young men were riding was particularly easy running, and after proceeding a short distance, the machine got beyond their control, though were back pedaling as strongly as they could. The boys realized the desperate nature of their predicament, as at the foot of the hill the road crosses the Jamaica avenue trolley tracks, and they could see a trolley car approaching from one direction and an automoblle from the other, In which they must crash should they not be able to check their runaway wheel. With the speed of the wind they came to the horseshoe, around which they turned safely, though narrowly escaping a dash over the stone embankment on the east side. So rapidly their pedals moving that they lost them with their feet, and in this fashion, with still further accelerated speed, they sped on towards Jamaica avenue, where they were certain to run into the trolley car.

The large number of pedestrians shouted warnings to the young lows, who endeavored to escape the collision by steering the runaway into the long grass on the side hill. The wheel responded promptly, but under the circumstances the young men had not full control of the handlebars, and it dashed Into a telegraph pole near the foot of the hill with tremendous force, throwing the riders least twenty feet to one side, where they lay motionless. The wheel was converted into 8 wreckage of twisted steel by the impact. Bicycle Policeman Charles Forrest, of the L. Liberty Avenue Station, who had witnessed the accident, was quickly by the side of the dnjured boys, and with the assistance of several other men, carried them to Lahey's drug store, corner of Force Tube and Jamalca avenues, where in a short time, in response to a call, Ambulance Surgeon Owens, of St.

Mary's Hospital, was on the scene. Dr. Owens found that Bogert's face was mass of cuts and bruises, his right side a severely contused and that he was suffering from concussion of the brain. Policeman Forrest says that Bogert was the foremost man on the tandem, and that his body struck the telegraph pole a slanting blow when the wheel collided with it. Haller struck the side of his head and his neck against the pole, though not with full force.

His was cut and contused and his neck injured. Dr. Owens said that Haller did not appear to be dangerously hurt. He took the young man to his home in the ambulance. Bradford Street Hospital has had over A dozen cases from Force Tube avenue within a year, and not more than a year ago, a boy who had lost control of his bicycle was killed by.

RETURNED TO FIND WIFE HAD WED ANOTHER MAN Romance in the Lives of an Humble Polish Couple in Kent Avenue. TRAWCYZNSKI GONE FIVE YEARS In the Meantime the Wife Listened tr Sluzewski's Importunities, Went to Baltimore and Married Him -Triumphant Reception on Return. Mrs. Jacob Trawczynski, the pretty Polish woman who was separated in Baltimore from the man she married a year ago, because her first husband, whom she believed dead, appeared to claim her, returned to Brooklyn this morning, to take up the simple heme life of the people living in the colony on Kent avenue, near North First street. When Mrs.

Trawczynski made her appearance, leaning on the arm of her husband, the reception which was given the couple when they were married a good many years ago was repeated. The woman was soon in the centre of a group of neighbors, who were trying to get from her the details of the romantic story which ended in her being reconciled first love. Mrs. Trawezynski, when seen by a reporter in her home, in the rear of 237 Kent avenue, was busy her work, and as questions were put to her, her pleasant face showed the good nature of the woman. When asked to tell why she had left Brooklyn, she explained in broken English that it was not her fault, and that peculiar circumstances had brought it about.

The woman said she and her husband lived together happily until about five years ago, when, without any reason, as far ag she knew, he suddenly disappeared. Nothing was heard from him for weeks, and a search which was made by his wife and 1 relatives was of no avail. Mrs. Trawczynski finally gave up the search. coming to the conclusion that her husband had met with foul play or had committed suicide.

She continued to live in the neighborhood. Frank Sluzewski, of Baltimore, knew Mrs. Trawezynski before her marriage and on learning of her bereavement he came to Brooklyn to see her. He told Mrs. Trawczynski he had plenty of money and made an offer of marriage.

The woman told him she was not sure her husband was dead. Sluzewski decided help her in another search. No trace of the missing man could be found and finally Mrs. Trawczynski consented to g0 to Baltimore. A year ago they were married.

In the meantime Trawczynski returned to his home in Kent avenue to find his wife. None of the neighbors could tell where she had gone and he had to search for her alone. He finally learned she had gone to Baltimore and he went to the Monumental City to find her. He searched the Polish colony and finally came across her in the home of Sluzewski. When he learned what had occurred during his absence Trawczynski took steps to win his wife back.

He had a long talk with husband No. 2 and finally, it is said, an agreement of separation was made in the presence of the two husbands. After he disappeared from Brooklyn Traw. czynski said he went to Poland to attend to some business there. ONCE HERO; NOW PRISONER.

Emil Hussmaul, Nurse, Who Gave Government His Services at Critical Time, Accused of Forgery. Emil Hussmaul, a distinguished looking German, 60 years old, who lives in a Broadway lodging house, was this morning a prisoner in the Manhattan Avenue Pollce Court, charged with forgery, the complainant being Albert Wunder, an undertaker, at 817 Flushing avenue. Hussmaul was before the public eye during the cholera scare several years ago, when he offered to nurse hundreds of stricken persons at Fire Island, was commended the Government for his services when the last of the patients was discharged at the Fire Island temporary hospital. Hussmaul is an old-time trained nurse, but of late he has done all sorts of odd jobs. Open Dally Until 6 P.M.

Crane this morning sentenced Henry Irving Andrews, the Michigan swindler, who pleaded guilty last week to the charge of defrauding the Nassau Trust Company by raising four drafts of the aggregate value of $18 to $19,000, to two years and a half in Sing Sing at hard labor. Andrews, who is believed by the police to belong to a Western gang of crooks, raised the four drafts by adding three ciphers to the figures in each. He was captured at Hepena, about two months ago by Pinkerton detectives and extradited on the application of District Attorney Clarke. Judge Crane sentenced Dominico Calabur, the Italian who was convicted a second time last week of stabbing Felice Amodel, to one year in the penitentiary. The prosecution claimed that Amodel, who had been a member of the Italian police, was suspected by the Mafia of being a spy for the Italian Government and that Calabur was picked out to slay him.

The first conviction was reversed by the Appellate Division. Lawyer Carrao this morning moved for a new trial, which was denied. He says he will appeal. Frederick Politi, who was convicted of robbery in the first degree on Friday, was sent to Sing Sing for four years. Politi was charged by the Signora Marla D'Ischia with robbing her of several thousand dollars worth of jewelry, after he and another Italtan had smuggled her ashore from a steamer lying at the foot of Amity street, South Brooklyn.

Judge Crane also passed these sentences: John Featherston, six months; W. Lange, sodomy, second offense, years; ing Andrews, grand forgery, two and a half Joseph De Maria, assault, three months; Frank Cody, grand larceny, eleven months twenty-nine days; Frederick Politi, years; Walter Lewis, grand larceny, ten days; Michael Buch, burglary, Elmira: Anthony Cacacia, sentence suspended: William Lever, grand larceny, suspended Frederick A Appel, burglary, two years and six months; Frank Goodman, grand larceny, Elmira; George Corrigan, grand larceny, Elmira; Woods, grand larceny, sentence suspended; Charles Lyndecker, grand larceny, months; Robert Geyser, burglary, three months; Jeremiah Donahue, malicious mischief, ten days: John O'Connor, three months; Morris Bloomstein, burglary, Elmira; Charles Schmidt, grand larceny, one year; Morris Taussig, grand twenty-nine days; John Brown, grand larceny, Elmira. FUSE CAUSED A PANIC. It Blew Out on a Coney Island Train and Excitement Followed -Big Traveling Day. A fuse blew out one of the trains of the Culver line at the Thirty-sixth street station en route from Coney Island last night, and there was a report like that of an explosion.

Blue flames shot up over the tops of cars and there was a wild panic among the passengers. Many of the passengers were trampled upon by others in their haste to get out of the cars, and a number of women and children were badly bruised and crushed. To add to the excitement and confusion somebody turned in a fire alarm, and soon the engines were upon the scene. The power was turned off from the disabled car and another connection was made by direct wire, and then the train proceeded on its way. Yesterday was a record breaker on all of the local and suburban lines, especially those running to Coney Island.

It 18 estimated that at least 250,000 people went to the 1s- land during the day. There was comparatively little trouble over the extra fare manded on all the lines for a through ride to and from the island yesterday, and body was put off the cars for a refusal to pay the extra nickel.

When Undertaker Wunder had his bank book balanced his checks returned to him, he found one check for five dollars payable to bearer, containing his forged signature, On the back of the check was the endorsement of Frank Doran, a saloon keeper, at 188 Scholes street. The undertaker called on Doran, and asked him who presented the check to him. The saloon keeper told him that Hussmaul gave him the check to cash. Wunder got a warrant for Hussmaul's arrest, and the latter was taken into custody by Detectives Monahan and Pinder of the Stagg Street Station. When Hussmaul was arraigned Magistrate O' Reilly in the Manhattan Avenue Court, this morning, he pleaded not guilty to the charge of forgery and was held for a hearing on Friday.

for CROWDED VACATION SCHOOLS. While Most Teachers Are Enjoying Themselves (With Pay) Children Yearn for Education. Children rushed to gain admission to the vacation schools last week to so great an extent as to exceed by nearly one-third the capacity of the forty buildings operated this summer. As the detailed. turns came Miss Evangeline E.

Whitney, district superintendent in charge of the summer work, found that thirty out of the forty schools had been compelled to refuse children, and that the total number of little cannot obtain admission to the happy Industrial and nature study classes is 8,915. The department of summer schools is making every effort to receive as many children as is posstole, but the classrooms are not elastic. There Is, of course, a limit also to the amount of money avallable. The rush to the playgrounds was in proportion to that for the vacation schools. The numbers refused, if any, at these places cannot be estimated, as no regular roll is taken.

On July 12, the number present at the fifty-elght playgrounds was 48,541. This number exceeds last year's average attendance by more than 15,000, in spite of the fact that there are four playgrounds than last year. In the open air playgrounds the attendance was 5,845, and on the pier kindergartens, 1,606. The band concerts at night on the roofs of ten schools attended on July 12 by 30.000 persons, or nearly 7,000 more than last year's average. The large Agures of attendance, in view of the coolness of weather so far, convince the school officers in charge that when really hot weather sets in the summer schools' supply will be entirely inadequate to the demands on the part of the people.

The most crowded vacation school in point of numbers refused, is Public School No. 42, Hester and Orchard streets, Manhattan, which wag compelled to turn away 802 applicants. Next comes Public School No. 188, Houston, Lewis and East Third streets, Manhattan, which refused 550 children. School No.

75, Evergreen avenue and Ralph street, this borough, refused 525, almost as many as it could accept. Another Brooklyn School, No. 14, Navy, and Concord streets, had to refuse seven others in various boroughs declined to admit 300 or more children. Three others refused 200 or more children, and at many schools there were as many 88 100 disappointed youngsters. The names and addresses every child who wag refused admission have been taken and these will be admitted in their order of application as soon as vacant seats become available.

The children now In the schools have been told that there are many children who are anxious for admission, and that irregularity of attendance or misconduct from them will make it necessary to withdraw the privilege of Instruction from them, and give it to some child who is more deserving. In this way it is believed nearly every desk or bench will be occupjed each day this season. Gave Alleged Cop Money, They Say. John Graham, 23 years old, of 206 Green street, was last night arrested by Policeman Sullivan, of the Greenpoint Avenue Station, on a charge of having, it is alleged, Impersonated an officer. It is alleged that Graham went into Joseph Fertel's saloon, at 1,139 Manhattan avenue, and representing himself as a policeman, demanded $5 from the saloon keeper.

Fertel told Policeman Sullivan that he gave Graham Afty cents. When Graham was arrested a Deputy Sheriff's shield was found on his person. When Klang, A the' cigar prisoner dealer, was locked Manhattan avenue, complained to the police that he had given $1 to Graham, after he had represented himself as an offlcer. As Fertel and Klang had no witnesses who had seen them pay money over to Graham, Chief Clerk Carroll, in the Manhattan Avenue Police Court, refused to entertain a complaint against him, on account of Insufficient evidence. A technical charge of intoxication was made against Graham.

He was Aned $5 by Magistrate O' Reilly on this charge, EYE BAR TESTS SEEN BY BRIDGE ENGINEERS The Work Is Difficult and Un satisfactory and Unlike the Testing of Wire. WIRE CABLES ARE ACCURATE. The Steel Which Was Examined by Nichols and Buck Is for the Blackwell's Island Bridge--It Should Have Been Suspension in Type. Chief Engineer Nichols and Richard Buck, of the Bridge Deparament, took a trip to Phoenixville, one day last week, and a watched some tests of sample re of the same general nature as those that will be used in the Blackwell's Island Bridge. Mr.

Nichols sald this morning that the result the tests did not change his opinion at all with regard to the utility of eye-bars, and he called particular attention to the fact that none of the bars that will be actually used in the Blackwell's Island Bridge will be tested. Six bars were broken for the engineers at a pressure of 1,500,000 pounds, but Mr. Nichols said that they were not exactly the same as those will be used in the bridge. The eye-bars for the Manhattan. Bridge will be fourteen and Afteen inch bars, but the largest testing machine in the country capable of testing only fourteen-inch bars.

This machine has A breaking capacity of 2,400,000 pounds, but it is only about about twenty-five feet in length, and the bars for the bridge will be about forty-five feet in length. Mr. Nichols said that there cannot be any specific physical test of the steel bars that will be used in the Blackwell's Island Bridge, and this, he points out, is one of the weak points of the eye-bar method of construction. The Blackwell's Island Bridge will be a cantilever structure, and there will be many eye-bars used for stiffening purposes. In the wires of the Williamsburgh Bridbe Cables, every wire was given a specific test, and If it did not withstand a pressure 200,000 pounds, it was rejected.

There is no way of telling just what the strength of an eye-bar is, because one plece of steel has to be broken to arrive at the strength of the material, and then another made by the same formula, is assumed to be of the same strength, but that is largely a matter of figures and guesswork. In other words, nobody will know actually how much strain the eye-bars in the Blackwell's Island Bridge will be able to stand. Mr. Nichols 1s now convinced that a mistake was made in planning A cantilever bridge for the Blackwell's Island structure, and in spite of the adornments of Mr. Hornbostel, he thinks it will be the least attractive of all the bridges across the East River.

He said this morning that had a suspension bridge been planned it would have been something novel for the reason that the cables would have swung from three towers. One on Blackwell's Island, one on the Manhattan shore and the third on the Long Island side. The statement was not made in criticism of the plans, but merely as an Idea suggested in the light of experience. Because of the laborious work of testing eye-bars, and making machines to break them, it will probably be six months before any are ready to put in the bridge, but this will not delay matters as the towers must first be constructed. Frederick C.

Kunz, who was appointed by Mr. Lindenthal to succeed Mr. when tne latter was removed, has been placed in charge of the steel work on the bridge by the Pennsylvania Steel Company. He wag recommended for the place by Mr. Nichols, who spoke in highest terms of his ability as a calculator, Frederick Gallagher, 12 years old, of 127, North Sixth street, was severely bitten on the left leg by a dog last night in front of 119 North Fifth street.
