8 THE BROOKLYN TIMES, TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 26. 1912. DOCTORS IN WAY OF CONNECTING RAILROAD Ward's Island Injunction Denounced by City's Lawyer. Justice McCall in the Supreme Court, Manhattan, to-day, after the argument on the motion for the continuance of the injunction preventing the New York ConRailroad from continuing with their work on Ward's Island, said to the attorney representing the Manhattan State Hospital, procured the injunction, stopping the work, "I don't think you have any standing in court, myself.

I don't think that any court in Christendom would grant you relief after the notifications you had by the Legislature, and by the city authorities. However, I will reserve decision." The Manhattan State Hospital is trying to prevent the New York Connecting Railroad from continuing its work on Ward's Island, and has tied up the railroad and contractors who are doing the work. It is claimed that the damage from the delay runs into the millions. In the proceedings this morning Assistant Corporation Counsel Burr maintained that the Manhattan State Hospital had no standing in court. He said that innumerable notices had been given to the hospital authorities by the city authorities, and by special acts of Legislature that the railroad intended to cross Ward's Island.

He showed that the city had taken measures to cancel the lease of Ward's Island held State authorittes, and that the had expired www.the in November, 1912, Mr. Burr sald that the city was compelled to take the stand against the Manhattan State Hospital that it did on account of the contracts the city had made with the railroad company and as an honest corporation it had to fulfill those contracts. "They now come Into court and ask that the city be compelled to execute the lease that was given to the State Hospital years ago. The city contends that the lease has expired and that the Manhattan State Hospital has no standing in court," said Mr. Burr.

Ex-Judge Morgan J. O' Brien, representing the New York Connecting Railroad made a bitter attack on the physicians and managers of the Manhattan State Hospital and their staff for opposing the construction of the railroad. situation that has developed is due 10 an exaggerated notion that these doctors take." said Judge O'Brien. "They stood mute and speechless for years. They wouldn't come together in conference.

The Legislature by special act had fixed dates when this work must be completed. The American Bridge Company has time contracts for the completion of this work. We ask for permission to put up a wharf which was to be constructed between high and low water mark, and then the injunction is procured." At the conclusion of the argument Justise, the McCall city, indicated and the clearly railroad that he company WAg In their stand in opposing the temporary Injunction. But he did not give a final decision on the matter because Corporation Counsel Burr asked for a few more days to put in further plea. ROOSEVELT WILL NOT TALK FUSION Colonel Not Yet Ready to Discuss Local Conditions.

Col. Theodore Roosevelt would not discuss Controller Prendergast'8 campaign this afternoon for fusion between the Progressive and Republican parties In the next election, but he made it very clear that he will have something to say in deciding the question if it becomes an issue. The Colonel is on record against fusion in its larger aspects, but that Progressive element which favors it has 'been confident that the Colonel will not interfere in the local situation, which confidence appears likely to be severely shaken shortly. for fusion." said the Colonel, "I have nothing to say-yet," and there was significant emphasis thrown on the last word. When asked to comment on Andrew Carnegie's Presidential pension fund, the Colonel smiled.

"Inasmuch as the pension does not apply to me," said he, have nothing to say on that side of it. In any event my Interest isn't in pensions for. ex-Presidents, but in pensions for the small man who doesn't have a chance to save, and who when he becomes superannuated faces direst poverty. I think that the smaller government employee who gives his years of falthful service at a small emolument should be pensioned upon his retirement. "And more than that I feel that in this country we have got to work out some system of insurance and pensions which will relieve the ordinary working man who has been honest and Industrious, of the haunting dread of extreme poverty in old and even more, I believe that the widow left by the death of husband with dependent children must receive from the State what is needed enough so that she may live and bring up those children, and if the husband deserts her he should be promptly tracked up and set to work and his earnings turned over to his wife and family."

(Special to the Brooklyn Times.) ALBANY, Nov. Court of Appeals this afternoon is hearing argument in the appeal of the town of Babylon in Its suit against William Darling. The lower court dismissed the complaint upon its merits with costs. The suit is brought in trespass to try and determine the Lue to a portion of the Great South Bay. The historical aspects of the troversy stand out sharply in the attorneys' briefs.

In these are copious extracts from records dealing with Indian land grants. The contention of the appellant is that as the question is one of title, the town's title under its patent cannot be taken away by legislative enactments. The defendant holds that this part of the bay was never owned by either of the towns of Huntington or Babylon, nor by Islip, but that the title thereto passed from the crown of England the State of New York which is still the thereof. For the appellant appeared Thomas Young, as attorney, with Martin W. Littieton and Asa Spear of counsel.

Timo- thy M. Grifling appeared as attorney for the defendant with Joseph Wood, of counsel. BIG PLANT FOR E. D. WATERFRONT COMBINATION OF MANHATTAN WHOLESALE GROCERS TO LOCATE HERE.

INCORPORATED FOR $4,000,000 Brooklynite, Who Sees Great Progress in His Home Town, Advocates Change. No offer has been made to the largest wholesale grocery house in Brooklyn to join in the organization of the $4,000,000 corporation in which Austin, Nichols Co. have taken the Initiative. Lewis E. Pierson.

formerly President of the Irving National Bank and now connected with Austin, Nichols when communicated with, acknowledged that the firm was going to move from Manhattan and locate in Brooklyn. While would not make a positive statement, intimated the that perhaps the largest wholesale grocery house in the world, would be located somewhere in the Eastern District. From a waterfront expert, it was learned that the Jay Street Terminal, property of the New York Dock Company, was for sale. It has a frontage of 500 feet along the water and runs back about 300 feet. The plot adjoins Arbuckle Brothers and would make a desirable place for the new corporation.

At the foot of Commercial street, Greenpoint, it is understood that there is the old sugar house and some other property on the market. As this property adjoins where the new barge canal basin is to be. the site might also be considered desirable. under consideration, and were located Mr. Pierson said that two sites, were that the new plant would have direct rail and steamer connection.

The bridges and ferries also would be near at Both the sites suggested the bill." From present plans, it is intended to give up the firm of Austin, Nichols Company, which is rated at over $2,000,000, and organize a new corporation, a capital of $1,000,000. Offers have been made to eight wholesale grocery houses, it is said, and it is expected that halt of them will join the new corporation and come to Brooklyn. Harry Balfe. a member of the firm of Austin Nichols admitted that his company intended to give its four warehouses downtown, Manhattan, in the near future and move to Brooklyn. Mr.

Balfe is a Brooklynite, and evidently appreciates the progress being made in his home borough. When the organization of the new concern is complete, Mr. Balfe will he the general manager and Mr. Pierson Its President. W.

B. A. Jurgens. one of the largest wholesale grocery houses in this city. the oldest in Brooklyn, and the only one which has not been reorganized into a corporation, has not been approached, it 1g said, and probably would not become part of the new concern if it were.

Jurgens does a business somewhat different from the other concerns mentioned in the formation of the combination. This house has been catering to the needs of the retail grocers for the past forty-five years, and is still doing 80. The house has the largest local trade of any of the others in the greater city. Jurgens does but little shipping, while the other firms ship extensively to all parts of the world A combination with them would not, on the face of it. do Jurgens any good.

Francis H. Leggett and R. C. Williams it Is stated. are not interested in the new corporation.

ENROLMENT IS BEING TABULATED: REPUBLICANS FEAR THEIR SHOWING WILL NOT BE LARGE. The Board of Elections started to-day to open the envelopes containing the enrollment 0 voters. At the Brooklyn headquarters it was said the tabulation would not be completed until the middle of January. The Republicans are anxiously awaiting the result so as to see how many have drifted away from the party. Those who joined the Bull Moose organization were instructed not to enroll with any of the old parties, and as the law made no allowance for enrollment as Progressive A great many 11 was belleved.

turned in blank slips. Last year there were 85,000 Republicans enrolled in Brooklyn. This number, it is Believed, will be cut down when the final count is made. The a Republican leaders, however, believe the difference will not be as great as many of the Bull Moose are figuring it will be. They contend a great many who voted the Progressive ticket enrolled with the Republicans in order to be on the safe side.

As clerks were opening the envelopes to-day it was disclosed in one election district of the Eighteenth Assembly District, where there was a large Bull Moose vote on Election Day, that there were some blank ballots, but not as many as it was belleved there would be. When this was brought to the attention of one of the leaders he expressed the opinion the same condition would prevail in a great many districts.

Nov. some time to come the navigators of passing ships will not see the old familiar alternate black and white bands which until recently were the distinguishing feature, in the daytime, of the famous Fire Island lighthouse.

Darker spots near the top show that the shell is not entirely dry yet. even if it was completed a month ago.

I PICKPOCKET WORKED IN DAY. STOLE AT NIGHT Edelstein Convicted of Robbing Girl at Plaza. What appears to be a modern Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde case came before Judge Faweett to-day: in the case of Max Edelstein, 30 years oid, of 283 South Fourth street, who was found guilty of picking pockets on the Williamsburgh Bridge, Although a number of friends, including his employer, for whom he had worked for nine years, had testified his good character, the verdict Justines the suspicion of the police that Edelstein, who was a capmaker during the day time, employed his early morning hours and those of the evening in picking pockets.

The charge against Edelstein was grand larceny in the second degree, the witness being Miss Grace Toder, whose pocketbook, It was alleged, had been picked by Edelstein, and Policeman William J. Conroy and William Court wright, who had worked with Inspector Morris Harnet, of the B. R. T. on the case.

About thirty complaints were made against Edelstein prior to September 30 last regarding the loss of pocketbooks on the Williamsburgh Bridge or its approaches, and a sharp lookout was kept by the B. R. T. starters and the detectives for evidence against "dips." It was about 7:30 on the morning of Sep-! tember 30. that Edelstein was caught! picking the pocket of Miss Toder.

Since then there have been no more complaints. The trial was conducted by Assistant District Attorney Warren I. Lee, and Harry Howard Dale represented Edelstein. A large number Congressman of character witnesses testified to the good character of the defendant. C.

A. Bushel, President of the C. A. Bushell Company of 38 East Eighth street, Manhattan, testified that Edelstein had been in his employ for nine years, ond during honest. There was considerable other testimony to this effect offered by neighbors of the young man, who gave him a fine reputation, but in spite of all this the jury belleved that story of the complaining witness and found Edelstein guilty.

tence will be imposed on Monday next. NO ONE SEEMS TO MISS LITTLE LAD A TWO-YEAR-OLD BOY, HAS BEEN AT S. P. C. C.

Mr.

Johns, his wife and son gO to business every day and there is no one in their apartment on the first floor of the halsey street house until they return each evening. The person who delivered the letters did in the daytime and it was until Mr. Johns arrived at his home in the evening that he received the missives. It has been imposible to trace the person who delivered the letters. The first letter was delivered last week and demanded that he go to the Sutter avenue station of the City Line elevated division of the B.

R. T. to-morrow to meet a man, who would demand $500. The letter ordered him to comply with the request. Lest Mr.

Johns might forget, another letter, of the same tone, was received 1 yesterday. The instructions and demand were the same. Both letters were signed "Black Hand." Mr. Johns, who is employed in Manhattan, brought the letters to the attention of the police of borough, but they referred him to the detectives of the Ralph Avenue Station, and to them Mr. Johns made his complaint last night.

That the receipt of the letters has caused a stir in the apartment house was evidenced to-day. Everyone in the house is on the lookout for the man who has delivered the letters. MURPHY INVOLVED IN FOGEL CASE Owner of Chicago Club Responsible for Signed Newspaper Articles. CHICAGO, Nov. for the signed article by Horace Fogel, of Philadelphia, which caused to-day's special meeting of the National League to investigate his charges that favoritism wag shown the New York Giants in umpiring, was placed at the door of Charles Webb Murphy, President of the Chicago Cubs to-day.

In a lengthy article in the Chicago Evening Post, the paper that first printed the Fogel interview, W. S. Forman, sporting editor, says that Fogel wrote the interview, sent it to Murphy, who read it and then turned it over to the Evening Post, to be used under Fogel's name. man who 18 morally responsible for that article and the charges it contained," says Forman, "is Murphy himself. I have Fogel's own word for it that he wrote it simply to help Murphy fight his battles in the National League.

It Is not the first time that Murphy has made Fogel the goat. Previously, Murphy had sent me another article signed by Fogel. and told me Fogel had written it and wanted it published. It was printed in the Evening Post on the understanding that Fogel was the author of it. Months afterward I learned that Murphy himself had written it, and Fogel merely signed it, because he was required to do SO by the Cub's President." Forman's article says that after the Fogel Interview, Fogel wrote asking for the original manuscript, saying he wanted it to present in evidence at the league meeting.

"He didn't get the manuscript," Forman writes. "It will go into the evidence, but it will be introduced by me, for the simple and sole purpose of proving that the article was not 'faked' as has been suggested.
