Hearn Son Held for Examination Threaten to Burn One Place, It Is Said, and Abuse Proprietor When He 'Phones Police. A number of striking cloakmakers caused manufacturers! in Sixteenth Ward ghetto a lot of trouble last eve ning Just before quitting time, and In one Instance the reserves of the Stagg Street Police Station were called out to quell a disturbance. Teh police made fifteen ar rests. Including five young women, who appeared to be more aggressive than the men. The strikers visited the places which were known to be open shops.

The tailors Who refused to go on strike were molested and even threatened. The po licemen who Happened to be around ordered the strikers to move on or be arrested. Matters went well until the strikers reached the factories of Nathan Nathan, at 112 Manhattan avenue, and N. J. Berkowitz, at 25 Meserole street.

At these places they went among the working tailors and ordered them to quit their machines and benches under penalty of being beaten. A number of the employees-rather than be assaulted Joined the ranks of the strikers. When the strikers were ordered out by Nathan they refused to go. One of the strikers threatened to burn the place, It Is said, and the proprietor decided that it was time that the police were notified, Nathan telephoned to the State street station, and the strikers hearing what he said began to abuse him. When the police reserves arrived the strikers refused to leave the place and they were placed under arrest.

The women, among the strikers, declared that they knew their rights, but were compelled, to go to the police station, and after their pedigrees had been taken they were taken to the Herbert street station, where there Is a matron. When the fifteen prisoners, allot whom were of Russian and Italian 'ere arraigned before Magistrate O'Reilly in the Manhattan avenue police court, they denied that they had done anything wrong. They added that they were simply trying to get cloak makers to join them in winning the strike. Magistrate O'Reilly told the defendants that they must not annoy those tailors who do-'not want to go on strike, and held them In ball for examination. CITY OF THE DREADFUL NIGHT That's What New York Will Be for Thirsty Ones if Mayor Gaynor Persists.

With only thirteen all-night licenses for the sale of liquor left in existence (in New York, the. Tenderloin was stirred to day by the report that nine of these are to go.

It is known, 14th Attacked by Law.rence Car- i roll Thomas Wogan Faces J. i J. Trouble in the 2d, 6th, 10th, 18th and 23d. i Thomas F. Wogan, Democratic leader of the Ninth District, will have to fight for the leadership of the district at the coming primary.

His antagonist well be Jeremiah J. O'Leary, who Is prominent in political, fraternal and civic organizations. William A. 'Doyle, long a leader in ttie district, has decided not to stand up as the principal figure In the fight this year, and he and his associates have picked O'Leary to win or be knocked out. The anti-Wogan contlgent had a meeting last night at the old Doyle club house and arranged the preliminaries for a tight.

Doyle thinks a comparatively new man will have a better chnnce to win against the regular rhan himself, and besides, he has grown weary of political tights and wants to lake a rest. There will certainly be' Democratic primary fights this fail In the Second, Sixth, Tentlrr Eleventh, Thirteenth, FourteentSf Fifteenth. Eighteenth and possibly tlu-Twenty-third Districts. In t'he last-named disirict the Lynch element seems to have scattered, and the -indication now Is that Lender Lynch will- win without much" trouble. Both the Lynch and his opponents are in a predicament, neither having any pa tronage, and so there Is little Interest In any prospective tight anyway.

The primary fight in the Fourteenth Assembly District will" no doubt be the most bitter one. The friends of the lata Senator the former leader, nre divided and attacking each other. James H. Tuny, is actually the" leader St the district and it will be against him that Lawrence F. Carroll will make tne fight.

While John McKeon holds tho title of. executive member through the grace T'ully, Carroll considers him merely a figurehead. Tuliy and Carroll have been friend for a number of years. It was only the tact of Senator McCarren that prevented a break long ago. The crisis came, however, after the death of the Senator when a special election was called to fill the vacancy.

Carroll's son Dan, who Is In the mineral water business, and has been an election district captain in the Fourteenth for a number of years, came out as a candidate for the Senatorial nomination. He made a strong fight to get the delegates, but with the man at the head against him he did not stand a chance, and Thomas C. Harden was nominated and elected to succeed the late Senator This started the trouble in the district. It was not long afterwards that "Larry" Carroll's term as chief clerk in the Manhattan Avenue Court expired, and John McKeon was named to succeed him. After this the Carrolls decided to fight for the leadership.

They have been working -hard- forltheiast few and intend keep it up. The contest will be a very close one, and will not. be determined until the votes are counted.

L. I. R. R. Conductor Realizes Sanger When He Sees Flames and Acts Quickly.

Frank Erthal, a Long Island Dall-road conductor, of 4S6 Hart street, was walking along Broadway at Graham avenue shortly after last midnight wen he saw smoke rising from the ties, of the elevated railroad. He hurried up the stairs to the Flushing avenue station and out onto the platform, and found out that Beveral of the ties were blazing briskly. Returning to the station he secured a lantern and flagged a train which was Just approaching the station. His next move was to secure a tire extinguisher, and with this he' made short work of the 'blaze, and probably averted serious trouble, as had a 'train stopped over the fire the flames might have communicated with the cars. Several other persons were on the platform, but they paid no attention to the fire, not realizing that it was dangerous, while the woman ticket agent did not know that there was a blizo.

None of the B. R. T. employees appeared on the scene until the flames had been extinguished. German Hospital Meeting.

WASHINGTON, July approaching crisis in Nicaraguan affairs, according to, admissions made to-day from authoritative sources, has been accentuated by repots of the ill-treatment of William Plttman, an American, who wA found starving in an overcrowded prison In Managua. Added to this are the threats against American life end) property. pit only requires the, turning of a hand to send the United States marines back to Nicaragua to put an end to the chaotic condition existing there.

Madrlz is piling up a score of unpleasant charges to which he will be called onVo reply when the time comes. The forV bearance of the State Department does not mean that these have been over- looked. They Include the securing of therelease of the steamer Venus, from Orleans, by making alleged false statements; the Bombardment of Prlnza-puloa, an unfortified town where there are American interests; the mistreatment of and his removal to Managua contrary to the pledge given the United States; the attempt to stir up anti-American sentiment in Central, and South America; the threats against the life and property of Americans in western Nicaragua, and the detention of Dr. C.

In that event the quietus will be put upon Hadris for good and all.

HIS GUILTY CONSCIENCE. London Post Thinks There Is Something Sinister Behind the Kaiser's Move in Nicaragua. LONDON, July Morning Post, a conservative organ, is the first of the English newspapers to take editorial notice of Kaiser Wllhelm's action In extending official recognition to President Madrls, of Nicaragua, when he knew Madrlz was persona non grata with the United States. The Post tells fully of tne uerruan attitude In the matter and the American comment thereon. The Post declares that its.

Information eotms from high German Government officials, whose names are withheld. The Information thus obtained by the Post bears out in every "detail the United Press' cables from Berlin regarding the Cerman 'attitude" as to American supervision of German diplomacy in Central and South America. In part, the Post's editorial says: "If there Is no reason why the Emperor should not have recognized Madrlz, It is difficult for us to understand why Germany was so much annoyed over the fact that the Washington government was Informed of the recognition. Over-much indignation we-thlnk, suggests a tmlH-v- conscience. "Though It has been 'officially' denied by Germany, it is naturally rumored that Germany's assistance was not given to President Madrlz for nothing, but rather with the expectation that Germany would be given a coaling station In South American waters.

"The Voesiche Zeitung, which is certainly in close touch with the Foreign Office, says the fact that the United States refuses to recognize Madrlz Is no concern of Germany's. If this represents, as corroborative evidence certainly suggest, the attitude of the Foreign Office. Germany's position is tantamount to a repudiation of the Monroe Doctrine." VILLION REARRESTED. Nassau County Officials Think He WasjtheHeadofa-Gan of Horse Thieves. (Special to the Brookl.ni Times.) MINEOLA, July 15.

Nassau County authorities have in their custody Julius Vllllon, 20 years old, whom they suspect of having been connected with a gang of horse thieves operated on Long Island for nearly a year before two of the members got ten years each In Sing Sing. It Is alleged that Vllllon on the morning of May 13 stole two horses and two wagons from Henry Wenners, of this place. As he was crossing the Williams-burgh Bridge on his way to Manhattan, he was taken in custody by Detective Reynolds, but through a technicality was discharged In court the following day. Several farmers appealed to Reynolds and he kept a sharp watch on Vllllon, with the result that he got him into Nassau County last night and caused his arrest. This morning before Judge Weeks he was held In J5.000 bail for the action of the Grand Jury.

It Is estimated that at least fifty horses have been stolen during the year. AUTO PARTY UPSET. Motor Car from Patchogue in Trouble at Railroad Crossing at Sayvllle. (Special to the Brooklyn Times.)

Josepn Marosse, 19 years old, of Third avenue, went swimming last night off the dock at the foot of Thirty-sixth street. His clothes -were found on the oek, and when he did not return for them a search for his body wss made. It wss not recovered and the case was accordingly reported to the Coroner as ft drowning i The young and well dressed man who leaped from the Brooklyn tower of the Willlnmsbtirgh Bridge to the roadway a distance of 205 feet last night and sustained injuries which later resulted In his death at the Eastern District Hospital, was still unidentified to-day, and the hospital authorities said that unless the body was it would be sent to the morgue. The. suicide was either a 8pan-Jard or a Cuban, and Was undoubtedly fairly well educarPH.

That he" did not take life seriously and that he loved a woman and had been rejected is shown by the note he left In a pocket of his coat which was found by the police. Shortly before 7 o'clock theiinan started to. cross the bridge from the Brooklyn side. When near the tower he took a seat on one of the benches and got Into conversation with Samuel Pen, a hardworking tailor of 132 North First street. "Have a cigarette," said the man to Feu.

Eeu accepted and. the two sat amok. Ing for a time. I "It's a short life but a merry one," com-, mented the stranger, and Peu who had been working hard all day intimated that lit wasn't a very merry one for him. When the stranger's cigarette was almost cpnsumed he threw the butt on the promenade at his feet, stood up, handed several sporting editions of newspapers to Peu and continued on his way.

Peu won-derlngly looked after the mn and saw him climb the tower. "I guess he's broke and is going; to climb down to Die roadway to get a ride," mused Peu. Then he dismissed the stranger from his mind. Instead of climbing into the roadway the man made1 his way -to the top of the tower, no easy climb, took off. his coat and leaped.

It was evidently his Intention to Jump Into the water, but he mlscal-J culated the distance and fell with a loud crash Into a large box which was partly filled with sand. He was rendered unconscious, sustaining a frac- jture of the skull, an injury to his spine ana internal injuries. While Policeman Rosenstock, of the Bridge Squad, was walking leisurely along the footpath a new Panama hat fluttered down at his feet. He picked It up and waited a few minutes for some one to appear and claim it. Glancing down again he noticed small, dark red spots, and followed them to the sandbox, where the man's mangled body was found.

Rosenstock blew his whistle and several policemen answered the call. They did not touch the bods, but summoned Ambulance Surgeons Cohen and Frank form the Eastern District Hospital. "The man Is going to die," said i "We will have to get him to the hospital as quickly as possible." In tho crowd that gathered was Peu, and to the-poIlcehetold his story.

Him All Over the Place Father-in-Law May Even Speak for Him. (Special to the Brooklyn Times.) WASHINGTON, July 15. The talk that tho Ohio Republicans may nominate Con gressman Nick Longworth for Governor does not cause any great amount of enthusiasm at Democratic headquarters in this city. It Is admitted by officers of the Democratic Congressional Committee, that there is a strong Longworthsjscnti-ment in the Buckeye State, and letters received here from prominent Ohio Democrats state the nomination of Longworth would Jeopardize the re-election of Jud- son P. Harmon, the Democratic, nominee.

In the opinion of the writers the notnln- atlon of Longworth would mean the entrance of CoK Roosevelt into the campaign, and the popularity of the former President, it Is believed here, might result In a complete Republican victory. Before Representative Longworth left here he" told a number of his friends that he was not a candidate for Governor, that his personal choice was to remain In the House. But he admitted that If the organization came to him and Insisted that he make the race for Governor he vu'u as a consistent party man, refuse the honor. Mr. Longworth, In discussing the Governorship, said it would be foolish' to say that It would be a walkover for the Republicans.

There every indication of a hot contest, but the insurgents supporting the Stats ticket the Republicans ought to win. while he declared himself out of the race ongwortn aia noi care to ex: however, thi 1. i. t.t. a imen, iiiuii lie luutts Willi lavur un lilt' Lonsworth iDOom as the Buckeye Con- cave loval to the Tarlff hpIping t0 frame tnat measure Mean, committee.

in At Republican Congressional Committee headquarters it was said to-day that there could be no question but that Long- worth would be the strongest man the party could name because he is the one man who can unite the factions, and unless the factions do unite before November, it will be all over with the party. His nomination, it is said here, would be endorsed by President Taft and Col. Roosevelt, and the latter would no doubt take a personal Interest In the campaign to the extent of making a number of speeches which would draw the crowds for miles around. An official of the Democratic were In' good trim in several Congressional districts In Ohio, and that Can-nonlsm Is still a potent Issue In the State. But the appearance of Longworth as the probable Republican candidate for Governor had cast a shadow on the situation, Until the Republicans nominate their State ticket the Democrats here will keep quiet so far as the polltlcaT outlook In the Buckeye State is con cerncd.

PITY FOR THE COMMUTER. The Commerce Commission Had It, but May Have Gone in Over Its Head, WASHINGTON. July 16. In assuming Jurisdiction over commutation rates It Is believed here to-day the Inter-state Commerce Commission has opened the way for a large Increase In Its labors and may have to meet a question that will contested by the railroads In the courts. Commuters In the past have been accustomed to carry on unaided any contests with the railroads arising from the rate question.

In each locality rates were fixed without regard to the charge's made In other sections of the country. At the hearing before the Inter-state Commerce Commission here. It appear ed that the rates for similar service varied greatly in different sections, and the claim was mad that the lowest commutation fare was enjoyed by real dents of New Jersey who travel to and from New 'As the result of the proceeding. It Is considered probabl that commuters paying the higher rates will collect comparative figures and then apply to the Commission for or ders giving them the same advantages as are enjoyed by New Jersey commuters. The attitude of the railroad attor.

neys In the New Jersey hearing Indl. cates that they will not concede Jurisdiction of the Commission to regulate commutation rates. These rates, of course, are much lower than the rates which the railroads are legally per mitted to charge for passenger service, and the attorneys Insist fnat control of the charge to be paid by commuters Is therefore vested In the companies.

For the first time In about a decade elevated Railroad trains are to be ran from Bay Ridge, at the Intersection, of Third avenue, through to Coney Island. The Brooklyn Rapid Transit lines have completed' arrangements and the new service will be operated Saturday afternoons and evenings, and all day Sundays for the remainder of the season, begin- nlng to-morrow. This service-will afford a convenient and direct service for Bay Ridge folk to end from the Island, which Is quite separate from trains to and from Manhattan and downtown Brooklyn. The Bay Ridge trains will run on convenient Intervals from Third avenue by way of the old Sea. Beach line and into the West End terminal at the Island.

Transfers will be Issued between them and the surface lines at Third avenue and Sixty-fifth street. The renewal of train service will bring back many memories to the older folk of Bay Ridge, who can clearly recall the fact that an Important terminal for Coney Island travel to arid from the old' City of New York was located on their water front at the foot of Sixty-fifth street. Fast steamers plied between the Battery and Bay Ridge, where two busy rosds the Culver line and the Sea Beach lines had connecting trains long trails of open cars, hauled with more or less efficiency by smoky locomotive. The Culver line In that district has been transformed into a terminal freight rail. road and within recent years the Sea Beach road has been given over to sur face trolley operation.

The operation of through electric trains over the Brooklyn elevated lines to and from" Coney Island has done away with the necessity of a steamboat connection to Bay Ridge and the old terminals there have long alnos a i-iicvnr n'nrKpra Lite iiiitut; audi night workers of the legitimate. The Park kow restaurants will still have their all-night certificate, and or two near i ira Square, where the wants of the employees of the morning papers arc attended to may also do business. But the establishments patronized exclusively "by ladles of the chorus and their "gentlemen friends" are to be forced to draw the curtains at 1 o'clock. Under the new law the city authorities are supreme In determining whether an all-night license shall Issue, and If the Msyor sticks to his present attitude there will be a wide thirst belt In New York.
