The friendly tone of the latest American note to Germany, and the belief that the difficulty would be adjusted by diplomatic representations, rather than by resort to force, instilled a more confident feeling in the financial district today and security prices advanced sharply in the early trad-inir The stocks of those companies now engaged in the manufacture of I war munitions on a wholesale scale and the issues ot the corporations dealing in metals were the most conspicuous and sqored the greatest gains but practically all stocks rose The fear nf Impending war seemed to have been banished from the Wall Street mind and this was reflected in the stock market.

POLICE Philadelphia Police Think They Have Servant That Killed Mrs. Heilner. JEWELS WERE PAWNED THERE. Detective Saw Beggar and Pointed Out the Resemblance to Hanoi. (Special to The Eagle.) Philadelphia, June 11 A man who tallies In every point with the description of Joseph Hanel, murderer of Mrs.

Julia Heilner In Flatbush, April 23. Is being held by the police in this city pending the arrival of detectives from New York. The prisoner gives the name of Fred Kinsler and a local address, but, apart from that, will not efforts of the detectives to elicit Information from the man as to his movements while in this city have proved failures so far. Hanel once served a prison sentence in this city, but it was at the County Prison. He would hardly be known to City Hall da-tectives while serving tims In that prison, commitments to which are made by a magistrate and are generally for unimportant crimes.

not positively Identt miry tnw. prisoner as Hanel. They have oompared him with the description and measurements furnished by the Aew York police, however, and say he Is apparently the man wanted. The prisoner was picked up In the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad-station here for begging. He was arraigned In the Night Court before Magistrate Beaton, and was about to he send away for the cutomary ten to thirty days when a detective walked into the court and pointed out the resemblance to Hanel.

Kinsler. who had been talkative before, immediately stopped answering questions. The jewels stolen from the Heilner home at the time of the murder were found in awnshops of this city some time ago, indicating that Hanel came to Philadelphia after the murder. Effort is being made to find persons who knew him when he lived here pending the arrival of New York detectives. A search of the room occupied by tho prisoner at 915 Vine street was made by detectives, but nothing was found.

The man was poorly dressed and appeared to have had a difficult time. He had but a'small amount of chanise in his pockets when he was captured, and no letters. No tailor's marks or other indications of identity could be found In his clothing, which gave si'ns of hard wear. The police think the man either was leaving or returning to the city. His clothing indicated that he might have been riding on freight trains.

Hanel lived In Philadelpha for some time before he was sent to the County Prison on some minor charge. It was after he left Philadelphia that he went to Brooklyn, where he obtained work at the Flatbush home of Mrs. Heilner, who was the wife of a wealthy corsel manufacturer. The prisoner was held in $400 bail, pending the arrival of New York detectives. He made no effort to get bail, however, but if he had it would hahve been increased.

No information about the man could be given ity the proprietor of the Vine street. Mnise where he had a room. He said the prisoner appeared there some days ago and asked for lodging. No questions were asked. BRITISH STEAMER GETS OFF.

CHILD BADLY BURNED "COOKING FOR DOLLY" Attempt to Start Fire in Toy Stove May Prove Fatal to Five-Year-Old. FRANTIC EFFORTS TO SAVE HER Doll Was a Present to Little Edna Ernst, Who Could Not Go to Anniversary. After she had Been looking forward for months to taking part in the Anniversary Day celebration with the Sunday school of the Eighteenth Street M. E.

Church. Edna May Frost, 5 years old. of 228 Trospect avenue, had to be disappointed yesterday because her mother, a widow, did not think that Edna and her brother William. 13. had recovered sufficiently from a recent vaccination.

To make up for the disappointment. Mrs. Frost bought Ednal a now doll, and Edna stole away today to prepare a meal for her new "baby" on a little toy stove. Now Edna Is in the Samaritan Hospital, so badly burned about the head, arms and body that she is not expected to recover. With the new doll treasure tightly clasped under one arm, and the toy stove and a little pan of milk held in the other hand, Edna left her mother this morning, with the word that she and dolly were "going to keep house" in the yard.

In the rear of ihe big apartment house where she lived. As noon time approaehed. Edna poured some. of the milk into a tiny dish, pre-parsd baby. Somewhere and somftow her mother does not understsaask, how Edna had gotten some matcreee, and she started a fire in the tiny stove.

Suddenly there were screams from the yard, and Mrs. Emma Millar, and Mrs. Grace Shelley, who live In' the same apartment house, saw a smalt form running madly through the alley to the street, a form that was enveloped in flames. Both women got pails nf water, dashing them over the biasing clothes, but there was still a blaze left when Edna reached the street. There.

Samuel Thompson of 234 Prospect avenue, saw the terror-stricken youngster. He took his coat off. wrapped It about little Edna until the kftamcs were extinguished, and then ran to the Fifth avenue police station a block Lieutenant Dooley sent a hurry call to the Holy Family Hospjtal. meanwhile rushing Patrolman McGreevoy to do what he could for Edna. The patrolman llfed her in his arms and rushed her lo the.

Samaritan Hospital, close at hand. There was she made as comfortable as possible until an ambulance brnught Dr. Curtis from the Holy Family Hospital. Dr. Curtis said there was almost no chance of Edna's clothing had been entirely burned from her body, and only her shoes were left when Thompson's coat put out the flames.

TWO REDUCTIONS i50.373.iH. After Examining 3,000 Pages of Evl- I denec Court Sees No Reason to Inter- fere With Commission's Findings. Supreme Court Justice Blackmar today confirmed substantially the awards amounting to $2,1 79,701, made by the condemnation commission to the owners of the property at Coney Island necessary for the Dreamland Park site. The Court reduces by $20,873.24 the $401,144.44 award to Mrs. Catherine Balmer for the Balmer bath house property, and also cuts off $29,600 from the award to the owners of the property at West Eighth street, between Surf avenue and the Ocean.

The total award Is thus reduced by $50,373.24. making the final award to the property owners $2. 1 29. 327. "6.

The awards were objected to by the Corporation Counsel as excessive, but Justice Blackmar does not coincide with the views of the Corporation Counsel's Office. Assistant Corporation Counsel La Motte, in opposing the confirmation of the commissioners' report, asked for a $500,000 reduction of the award for the Dreamland site; a $400,000 reduction of the award to the Prospect Park and Coney Island Railroad for its property, and a $200,000 reduction of the award to Mrs. Balmer. Justice Blackmar. however, allows the awards to stand, with the two exceptions noted.

The Corporation Counsel. Justice Blackmar says, through his objections has "burdened" him with the examination of the evidence, covering a record of over 3.000 pages. Justice Blackmar says: "The city is taking a large parcel of property, abutting on the ocean, out of the heart of the amusement section of Coney Island. It is exceedingly difficult to say what Is the market value of this propertv between a seller wishing but not compelled to Sell and a buyer wishing but not compelled to purchase. The question has been tried out at great length bv able counsel.

The opinions ot the experts, differing in a surprising degree, have been tested by elaborate cross-examination. Every sale and lease of property within reasonable limits of time JWl.f.placa- have heaMjynaaha a conclu-sibn which adopts neither the figures of the experts for the property owners nor of those for the city. In fact, the evidence shows no certain standard by which the value of the property can be tested. After considering all the evidence I plainly see that there Is room for a great difference of opinion and therefore shall not interfere with the determination of the commissioners as to the value of the land lying within the boundaries of the several damage parcels." As to the effect of the offer of the Dreamland Company to sell its property to the city for $1,000,000, on the awards to the other property owners. Justice Blackmar says he does not asr sent to the claim that it influnced the awards to the injury of the citv.

Thf offer of the $1,000,000 option given the city by the Dreamland people is not evidence of the value of the land, Justice Hlackmnr holds, hiu omy shows that the seller was willing to accept that price for tils Mrs. Balmer was awarded by the commissioners for her land and $23,897.24 for the buildings on the land. It is from yhis last Item that Justice Blackmar deducts the from the Balmer award as he finds that of the $23,897.24. which was awarded for expenses in regard to buildings only $3,024 actually went into the property, while the remainder was for architects fees. The award of $743,024.97 to the Prospect Park and Coney Island Railroad parcel is allowed to stand intact.

The $29,500 deductions made by the court is to come from the awards for the Dreamland Park property, which was valued at $1,035,000 by the commissioners; This, is to recompense the city for the failure of the owners to meet assessments on the property for various street closing In virtue of which the city had a lien on the property. As to claims to title to the property invelved by the Morey and Lott heirs, Mays his judgment is they are not substantial enough to render the title disputed, and he therefore says the awards may be given to the parties named In the report. AFTER'NUPTIAL BOWER'HERE Wallstein to Probe Aldermanici "Bureau" in Brooklyn. It was reported today that Commissioner of Accounts Wallstein would conduct an investigation of the "marriage bower" that is conducted in the Borough Hall, Brooklyn, simitar to the investigation he recently conducted In Manhattan, and hich resulted in the removal of the "bower" conducted under the auspices of the Aldermen, to private quHners. "This business is easily worth $6,000 a year to the Aldermen," declared one prominent Borough Hall official recently, "It Is an entirely private matter, and why should the city pay for the rent of the room and the light and stationery used." Many of the foreigners who come here are persuaded that the civil ceremony is needed, whether a religious ceremony is to be performed or not." SIDEWALKS A AMPAIGN ISSl E.

Alderman Gaynor to Attack Mitcliel Administration. The questipn of repairing sidewalks by local assessment on the abutting property owners will be made one of the campaign issues this fall. Alder man John R. Gaynor, who will run for renomlnation, will sharply attack the Mitchel administration for Its policy in this respect. Gaynor recently introduced an ordinance into the Board of Aldermen requiring all street repairs, where the original payment had bean made by the abutting owners, to be done by the city.

It was defeated. Former Union Bank Director Declares He Did Not Have Nickel Yet Note Was Renewed. CARRIED AS BANK ASSET. Story of Hair a Million Estate Which Dwindled to $14 Under Sullivan Regime. Edward M.

Grout was today directly accused by Thomas B. Tompkins of ordering a renewal ot the latter's note for more than $70,000 after he had beer: told by Tompkins himself that he was not worth a nickel and utterly unable to pay the note the Interest. The succeeding notes which Tompkins made out after two talks with Grout as president of the Union Bank became larger each time, including the unpaid Interest, and his final note was made on March 14, 1910, and was for $72,370.53. It was a three-months note, and the interest for that period was carried along with the face of the note, appearing on the books of the bank as an asset of $73,480.23 on March 25, 1910. It was included in the statement of the bank's condition as of that date.

Tompkins was District Attorney Cropsey's star witness today at Grout's trial for perjury in the County Court. He was a director ot the bank. His alleged liability was created by the purchase of 326 shares of the bank's stock in David A. Sullivan's regime. He gave a note for the stock, not one cent of cash, and then put the stock up as collateral for the note.

His father, Edward B. Tompkins, held 910 shares of Union Bank stock, and was a close friend of Sullivan for many years. Sullivan was the acting executor of the emu xuiuuiwiis uuu ivucu got through with it there was left something like $14 out of more than half a million dollars. Thomas B. Tompkins is the man who was brought to court in custody after refusing to obey the subpena issued for him by District Attorney I'rnpsey.

He spent night before last in Raymond Street Jail and last night he was permitted to sleep in a hotel, accompanied by a Central Office detective, who had charge of him. He did not appear unwilling toy'nswer Mr. Cropsey's questions, but when Lawyer Stephen C. Baldwin, who is de-lending Grout, cross-examined him, he was not such a satisfactory witness, from the defendant's pglnt of ybjw. Uti Ttftlrtwln uRiAaried hwlnnrinsr Tompkins was ii iheavflv interested in the marble busi ness, trading on the reputation made by Wis father In that line, and showed iltal A hoI aDilnriArl a lairdl InrAT 'est had in the Tompkins-Kiel Marble Company to the company Itself, which made profits in ten months of its existence amounting to $22,000.

Trusted Sullivan 'J'l'iifortunatcly" Says Tompkins. Mr. Baldwin also brought out by a Sullivan-Tompkins accounting of the Edward B. Tompkins estate that the 320 shares of Union Bank stock appeared to belong to the estate, the dividends having been scheduled as an nso-et of the estate. Tompkins said thai had charge of the whole business; that he trusted him.

"unfor-tuniaely," and insisted that he, and not his father or the estate, was the owner of the 326 shares. Mr. Baldwin succeeded in coaxing out of Toinp-k'ns the statement thnf the estat wu worth more than enough to pay the mile, at one time. It appeared from Mr. Baldwin's questions that there had been considerable changing of alleged ownership of the 326 shares of stock, with the result that young Tompkins owned it, having no assets himself, when the bank was closed and he might be sued on his liability, and the estate appeared to own it when the bank was open again and dividends were a possibility.

Tompkins insisted that his mother got a half interest in the Tompkins-Kiel Marble Company for permitting the use of the family name, and that he was merely a salaried employe of that and another cuncern which his mother backed. Tompkins, Union Bank Director, Called to Stand. Thomas B. Tompkins, who said he was In the marble business ami one time a director in the Union Bank, was called to the stand today, after being arrested and involuntarily brought to court. "Do you know Eiard M.

Grout?" "I do." "How long have you fcuown him?" "Since the latter part of 1907." "Did you sign this promissory note," "Yes." PlRced In evidence, tne note was for $72,370.63, dated March 14, 1910. signed by Tompkins, payable in throe months, with interest, the latter Item putting the figure up to $73,480.23, at which the Tompkins note was carried as an asset in the report of March 25, 1910. "What was.that noLe made for?" To renew previous notes." "Had you paid the interest on previous notes?" "No, It was Just added on to the later note. That procedure was followed several times, so that each note became bigger than its predecessor." "What was the reason for the original note?"

London Believes Advance on Lemberg Is Checked. London. June 11 British observers of the war. forming their opinions on the latest dispatches from Russia, believe that the Austin-German forces threatening Lemberg from the southeast have been checked in their advance.

Russia, they declare, has delivered a return blow, anil a hard one. The great masses of German and Austrian troops which hava forced a passage of the Dniester River near Zurawna have, according to the lat est announcement or the Russian been ll.ing back with heavy losses In both men and material. Thus for the moment Lemberg is thought to be safe, for nowhere else aionn the Galicia front have the Teutonic Allies been making progress recently, with the exception, of course, of their southern extension into Bu-kowina. If the victory on the Dniester has hfen decisive, it is the first real check delivered by the Russians since the start of the new Austro-German rush through Galacia. Here it Is characterized as giving renewed faith to Great Britain and France in the rtcuperative powers of Russian arms.
