I I "T-. .1 Inn. 4. 130' i fl He Will Be Editor, and the Main Sheet Will Be at the Borough Hall. SUPPLEMENTS ABOUT TOWN.

Borough President Is Becoming Enamored oC His Scheme to Placard the Borough. HELP, WANTED MALES. Several brljrht reporters, with experience In Brooklyn, to wodk on a new publication. Ap-plv at once to nirrt S. Color.

Editor and Publisher. RorongJi Hall. Brooklyn. A new editor has entered the field of oPnnkivn iMfMSsffl. His Den in a broth- BnPar an(, lw champion of the people.

Vox Prjjiull should be his name, but he was christened Bird Sim Coler. He is 10 give the public an or-j gan that will voice the wrongs of Brook lyn. The Coler publication will be the most sensational effort of journalism ever attempted. The scareheafls of the yellow sheets will be as stnajl as agate type when the Coler editors get to work. The headlines will be so Jairge that he who runs may read, as even, may the trolley passengers from afar.

The new organ is the. outgrowth of the neat little sign boards -which Mr. Coler has stuck up here and there to tell the public who is to blame for holes in the sidewalk and ditches in the street. Mr. Coler has determined to elaborate the Idea Into a great sign board newspaper.

The main sheet will be printed on an enormous bulletin board to be. erected In front of Borough Hall oil Fulton street. There will be special editions here and there over the city, wherever the big bulletins will be likely to catch the eyes of many people. Despite the public clamor against them Mr. Coler is delighted with the sign boards which have turned out to be stepping stones to Journalism.

He reports big results already. He placed one of the big signboards at Flatbush avenue, Atlantic avenue and Fourth avenue, calling the attention of the public to the act that the Rapid Transit Commission was responsible for the outrageous condition of the street at the intersection of the streets named. He says that a large squad of men began on the job of cleaning up early this morning. Ho went down to -watch them himself. After that Mr.

Coler -went back to his office and evolved the Idea of the Coler Daily Bulletin. The idea came like an inspiration. "It's cheaper than buying or starting a regular newspaper." he said. So the work of organization was begun immediately. Mr.

Coler was to be editor-in-chief and publisher, as a matter of course. Secretary Charles Frederick Adams was appointed associate editor and head of the "Shocker" department, and Secretary John Hcffernan was made managing editor. "What shall we name it?" was the question. Several names were suggested. The bootblack who had come in to shine the official shoes got interested.

"Call It de Bollettino della Bossenne," he said. "How about calling It the Audubon Journal?" asked one of the group of anxious new-born journalists. "Why that name?" "Because it's to be run for the protection of our Bird," he said. He was so frowned upon for this weak attempt at humor and his Imbecile pun that he left the conference In confusion. Finally.

It. was decided to call It the Coler Daily Bulletin. The Bulletin will expoBe conditions, politicians and office holders on all sideB except on Coler's. The "Shocker" department, under the able direction of Mr. Adams, will have a sensational expose every day.

If there's a hole in the Flftv-eiehth street pavement, and Mr. Coler doesn't happen to be responsible for it. Mr. Adams will not be afraid to tell who is responsible. Here's a sample from the dummy sheet, which was prepared to-day as a miniature model for the big bulletin: AN' UNSPEAKABLE OUTRAGR! COMPLAINT HAS BEEN MADE OF A BOTTOMLESS ABYSS ACROSS WTCKOFF AVENUE.

THAT IS ENGULFING WAGON'S, PARALYZING TRAFFIC AND DOING INESTIMABLE. PA MAGE. THE BOROUGH PRESIDENT IS NOT RESPONSIBLE! WHO IS? WE TELL TOU WHO: THE WATER DEPARTMENT Among the several doparimentB of the Bulletin will be one in which Juicy bits of gossip will be served up In sprightly style. This department will be signed "The Widow," but for obvious reasons the widow's real name cannot be published. Mr.

Coler will run the Bulletin without malice, he 6ays. He doesn't wish to at tack anyone Just for the pure fun or making an attack, but he does propose to put the Blame wnere it Deiongs ana stir the public to action. "I'm doing this to stir up an Investigation." Mr. Coler said. "I want a comparative investigation of every borough in the city.

By running this Bulletin and putting plain facts before the eyes of citiiens. I can stir up an agitation that will make an Investigation inevitable." "I've been attacked right and left by the newspapers. I don't mind thst, but I do regret that the public Is being deceived in a way that works to the Injury of Brooklyn. They attack me for eondi-tins that I could not remedy if I should try and that do not exist through my resnonsibilitv. They attack me for not doing the work of the Street Cleaning Department.

I am not responsible for cleaning up the streets, but when I say th.t The Street Cleaning Department Is responsible I do not do so as an attack upon that department. I do so to rail the attention of the public to facts. The Street Cleaning Department is respon- ible, but It hasn got the money. "Mv purpose is to force an investiga tion of all the boroughs and to show by comparison that Brooklyn Is not getting trom Its Mr. Coler placards and signboards at place ivould put aces where D8(l COnClUIOUH rAlBL H'l nunu Luc UU- I VA.nAna Kl i anv had exists for which tnis offlce )9 responsible, I shall put up a Emitting responsibility, but showing why the condition has not been remedied." Mr.

Coler was told that Controller v.i, had announced already that he1 would not pay for the signboards and plarards the Borough President is putting up. "That makes ro amerenee to me, said I i i i I I i I 1 the signboards that have been placed around the city, and tnere is tarn 01 a movement to organize the taxpayers and have signboards printed and planted at various places declaring Mr. Coler to be responsible for the bad conditions at the places Indicated. STOLE VAL SCHMITZ'S SILVER. Burglars Forced Open Bear Window.

No One in House Disturbed. Burglars broke into the home of Val M. Schmltz, president of the Royal Arcanum Club of Kings County, of 12 Plaza street, early yesterday morning and stole about $250 worth of Jewelry and clothing. The burglary was evidently the work of experts. Entrance was gained by forcing open the rear basement window, which is barred.

The burglars picked up all the silverware they could lay their hands They also helped themselves to a valu-nhle, coat, some Jewelry, a violin ca3e and an umbrella. The silverware wa" i packed In the violin case. The burglars left by way of the front door. The burglary was not discovered until daylight. JOINT WILL FILED.

Aged Merrick Couple Left an Unusual Testament Must Be Proved as Two Wills. (Special to the Eagle.) Mineola, L. I June 6 Firm in the belief that they would not survive one another very long, the late Alexander C. Bunker and his wife, Mary P. Bunker, an aged couple of Merrick, made a Joint will, which was offered for probate in the Nassau County Surrogate's Court yesterday, the will being offered in accordance with the stipulation in the introduction, which reads: "We, the undersigned, having reached the period of life when we are liable to pass away so near together that the survivor may not have the time nor an opportunity to prepare a will, have concluded polntly to make the following, to take effect when both are deceased." The aged couple were not far wrong In their belief.

Mrs. Bunker dying on August 19 of last year, and Mr. Bunker on April 27 last. The disposition of the personal effects of the couple is somewhat peculiar. To a granddaughter, Phebe A.

Bunker of Merrick, is left her grandfather's watch and chain, while the grandfather's mahogany bookcase and his Bible go to a grandson. Harold Bunker. The grandmother's watch and chain and the grandmother's "round table with cover, which she spun and knit herself," are left to another granddaughter. Elsie Bunker. The daughter-in-law, Alice L.

Bunker, Is given $500, and the remainder of the estate Is to be divided among the three grandchildren. Each of the testators owned property, the estimated value of Alexander Bunker's estate being 110,000 In real and $3,501) in personal property, while his wife held real estate valued at $3,200. The will was originally dated Mav 21, 1903, and was witnessed by Phebe and Harold Bunker. Some months later the couple were advised apparently that beneficiaries under the will could not legally witness their signatures, so a clauso was added to that effect, the will redated on January 31, 1908. and resigned by both testators with William Rhame and Anne L.

"Smith as witnesses. Although a Joint will, the document will have to be admitted as two separate wills. ECHO OF SIMPSON TRIAL. It Is Heard in a Suit in Which Witnesses in That Case Now Figure. (Special to the Eagle.) Riverhead, L.

June 6 The Frank family, of Brooklyn and Manhattan, some of whom were star witnesses in the recent Simpson murder trial, are now mixed up In a lawsuit, through which Dr. Isaiah Frank of Manhattan, charges that his father, Aaron Frank, surreptitiously took a deed from his desk and had it recorded in the Suffolk County Clerk's office and that subsequently Aaron Frank deeded the property to another son and daughter. Dr. Frank now sues Aaron Frank, Rose Frank, his mother, Samuel Ettlnger Frank of Brooklyn, and Carrie Frank Adler, the latter two being a brother and sister, to set aside two deeds. Papers In the suit have been filed.

On the Simpson trial Dr. Uaiah Frauk who lived In Northport when Mr. Horner was killed was one of the first witnesses called by Prosecutor Furman. He gave considerable damaging evidence against the accused dentist, stating among other things that the cartridge sneiig ne tooa from the Simpson, or Horner, gun were red. Late in the trial S.

Ettlnger Frank, a brother, testltied that he took the Bhells from the gun and they were yellow. Mrs. Rose Frank In part corroborated her son, S. Ettlnger. The case, if brought to trial, bids fair to be quite sensational.

GAVE CATSE FOB, BEATING. Butcher Accused of Striking Boy Says Lad Struck Little Girl. An undersized, light-haired boy, and a fat. dark-haired man. stood side by side in the Flatbush Court before Magistrate Hylan.

this morning, the lad complainant against the man. whom he accused of striking him with his flst. The boy was so small that Magistrate Hylan had to lean over the front of his bench In order to hear and Bee him. The little complainant was Raymond Hill. 13 years old, of 406 Greenwood avenue.

He said that he was playing In front of his home about supper time when the defendant, Charles Robar, 44 yearg old, a butcher, of 86 Third street, grabbed hold of him. swung him around, punched him in the chest, and then threw him into the air. Hill's sister and two boy companions backed up the lad's statements. According to Robar. he was the ag-He declared that the Hill bov had been bothering his 12-year-old rtaiiuhter.

THEY SAW MAN DROWN. Workmen Threw Him a Rope, but He Refused to Seize It. While nar the Gowanus Canal and Sackett street, this morning. John Fagan of 362 Third street and Joseph Burns of Thlrtv-first street, employed by the Brooklyn Union Gas Company, noticed a man In the water. They thought he was trying to save himself from drowning and they threw him a rope.

But he made no effort to seize it and suddenly disap- peared, without even a cry.

Zwingman Tells a Remarkable Story to Commissioner O'Keeffe. ROBBED AS HE SLEPT, HE SAYS Sick Man Felt a Hand TJnscrewing a $300 Diamond From His Shirt Front. While reclining, ill and partly uncon- sclous for two hours on the afternoon of Saturday, March 9, In the Flatbush police station, on Snyder avenue.

William Zwingman, at that time holding the office of lieutenant at that station, but now-retired from the Police Department on a pension, he alleges, robbed of a $300 diamond stud, taken by some unknown person or persons from the front of the dress shirt he was wearing at the time. Upon returning to duty, eight hours later, the former police lieutenant reported his loss to Denis F. Ward, commanding captain of the Sixty-seventh or Flatbush precinct. After waiting for nearly three months, hoping that Captain Ward's Investigations would result In the finding and returning of the diamond, the retired police lieutenant took the matter over Captain Ward's head on Tuesday and went directly to First Deputy Police Commissioner Arthur J. O'Keeffe, who is conducting an investigation as to how a police official could be made a thief's victim In the very building where he does duty and within call of his own fellow officers.

Incidentally, ex-Lieutenant Zwingman has given some very interesting information, revealing, he says, the way affairs have been conducted in at least one Brooklyn station house. On the afternoon of March 9, the former lieutenant was taken ill shortly before going off duty si 2 o'clock. Immediately upon giving up the desk to the lieutenant scheduled to relieve him. Zwingman, feeling too ill to undress and go to bed, and preferring to get somewhere where he could breath pure air, says he went Into the room of the Seventh District Magistrate's Court, adjourned for the day, obtaining a chair, sat in It In the entry way between the court room and the door opening into the Bide courtyard. Here he became dizzy and leaned his head back on the chair, with bis eyes closed.

Zwingman has given to Commissioner O'Keefe the names of several men connected with ihe building whom he noticed in the courtroom between 2 and .4 o'clock, but he has made no accusation against any of them. At some tlmo between the hours named he says that he felt a hand at his shirt bosom, where he wore a diamond of beautiful blue-white tint, which had been a present to him. He realized that the fingers were about to remove the stone, but, inert, ill and only vaguely awake as ho was, he felt that whoever was taking It was doing it for the purpose of keeping if. safely until he, the lieutenant, should recover. He was In that semiconscious state that made him feel, anyhow, that he didn't care If he was robbed of everything that he possessed, he says.

So he did not open his eyes to ascertain who was at his shirt front. At 4 o'clock, a man connected with the building and whose name Is known by Commissioner O'Keeffe, came to the 111 police official and asked if he had not better go to bed. Zwingman assented and was assisted to the lieutenant's quarters in the station house. He was to go on duty at midnight. About 11:30 o'clock he was behind the dask, waiting there to relieve the man then on duty, when, he declares.

Captain Ward camo In and handed him his. Zwing-man's, revolver, with the remark: "I found this on your bed and your closet door was wide open." It was then, the former lieutenant says, that he informed Captain Ward of the missing diamond. Zwingman continues that upon remarking to Captain Ward that he believed that whoever took the stone was retaining It perhaps for a Joke and would return it at some future time, the captain added: "Better look out, young fellow, that some one Is not keeping it in earnest." The next morning Zwingman went off duty at 8 o'clock, left for his home, 317 Fifty-fifth street, and has not been on duty since. He declares that he went to Captain Ward again and again and was informed that the diamond had not been recovered, and that the captain advised him to go to every person connected with both the station pod the court and Inquire about his diamond, a suggestion which Zwingman denounces as foolish. It was at midnight, a week ago yesterday, that Zwingman was retired on a pension.

Up to the time he was retired he had hoped that whoever possessed the diamond would return It and declare that it had been kept us a Joke on the lieutenant. It was a week ago to-day that Zwingman decided to go to Commissioner O'Keeffe, and the story above is the essence of that which he related to the commissioner. To an Eagle reporter the former lieutenant told why he has taken the matter over Captain Ward's head. When seen to-day, Captain Ward declined to make any statement about the case. Inspector O'Brien had Zwlngman's charrx tinder Investigation this morning.

TWO LAWYERS FOR PRISONER. He Didn't Accept the One His Mother Had Retained Caskey Held In $1,000 Bail.

Police Inspector George R. Holahan gave the sporting fraternity of upper! Broadway another gentle hint yesterday' that, he was on the watch for gamblers hen two of his men, Francis S. Car-1 berry and Walter J. Cunningham, ar-i rested a young man for accepting on the races. The accused, George Sas-1 key, 32 years old, a one-legged man using crutches, who gives his address as 171 Marion street, was arraigned in the Gates avenue court to-day and held for examination.

He was charged with selling pools on the public street. Somebody sent the Inspector a friendly tip that a pool seller was collecting race bets on the streets and in cafes and taking them to a saloon on Broadway near Woodbine street. The tip, scribbled on a Bit of paper In pencil, also told the Inspector where and at what time the pool seller could be located: that he had only one leg, and. was an employe of a well known sport. Detectives Carberry and Cunningham, assigned to Investigate, reached Broadway and Madison street at 1:30 o'clock yesterday.

They waited but a few minutes when they saw Saskey come hob-ling along on his crutches. Ho stopped and a man stepped up and handed a piece of paper to him. The officers thought they detected a greenback accompanying the slip of paper. However, they waited a few minutes longer and another man engaged the attention of the man with the crutches. The detectives had then approached the pair so closely that they thought they heard the man accosted by Caskey say: "Here's a bet on Colonel White in the sixth race." Then they nabbed the cripple and took him to the station house, where he was searched and several bits of paper found on him indicating that Colonel White in the sixth race had engaged the attention of several persons, if the writing on the papers was any indication.

CaBkey spent the night in a station house cell. When he reached the Gates avenue court he was surprised to learn that he had two lawyers. One had beeD engaged by his widowed mother after she had reached the court. The other had been engaged, apparently, from another source. When Caskey was aBked to plead, one lawyer said not guilty and was followed by the same plea from the other.

Magistrate Furlong remarked that two lawyers could not appear for the one man and Caskey was told to pick out his counsel. He named the one not retained by his mother. The counsel made a strenuous plea to have the young man paroled In his custody until to-morrow, when he would be able to have a bondsman, but Magistrate Furlong declined and held the accused in $1,000 ball for examination, which rather shocked some of the sports seated In the rear of the courtroom, who have been acting as runners for a certain well-known cafe. The complaint against Caskey states that one of the two men the officers saw speak to him gave him a slip of paper, written on which was the Information that the $2 which accompanied it was to be placed on Colonel White, running In the sixth race at Belmont, one dollar to win; one for place. This arrest, together with that made at Nathan's place, 1675 Broadway, two weeks ago, has opened the eyes of the local sports.

HAS ONLY FIVE CLASS ROOMS. Flans for Addition to P. S. No. 76, at Laurel Hill, Called for Eight Investigation Under Way.

A scandal promises to develop in connection with the building of an addition to Public School No. 76 at Laurel Hill. Queens. The contract was let last fall, and It was stated at the time that It called for an addition to contain eight class rooms. The contract price was In the' neighborhood of $87,000 and that In itself caused some comment, for the main school building, an ordinary frame structure, probably originally cost loss than half that Bum.

Work on the addition is about finished and It has developed that instead of eight class rooms it contains only five. The matter has been laid before the members of the Forty-first District School Board, and they will visit the school this afternoon to make an inspection and satisfy themselves as to the condition of the addition and ascertain why the change was made in the original plans. Deputy Superintendent of School Buildings Frank A. Collins, who Is In charge In Queens Borough, will meet the school officials at the building and throw whatever light he can upon the matter. The plans were prepared In the main office In Manhattan, and it is understood that the changes were made there also.

The school is gaining very rapidly and tho eight class rooms originally planned would all be needed. Another serious blunder In school construction in the Borough of Queens has been discovered in a new school erected at Maspeth. The building cost $250,000 and it has been found that the seats are so close in the class rooms and the aisles bo narrow that the comfort and safety of the pupils Is affected.

Dr. Gammigc Declines to Make) Any; Statement School Is Not to Close Permanently. (Special to the Eagle.) Garden City, L.

June 6 Dr. Fred erick L. Gammage, the retiring head master of St. Paul's School, was ssked to-day to make a statement of the reasons for his resigning the position he has held for the past fourteen years, but declined to do so. He admitted to a reporter for the Eagle that his retirement from St.

Paul's was a source of genuine sorrow to him and that be is very sensitive on the subject, but beyond that he would not go. He added, however, that there was no probability of the school being permanently closed as a result oC his retirement. There Is, however, every reason to be, lleve that Dr. Gammage will take many, of the professors and not a few- of the students with him when he ths school. It Is looked upon by some as a.

mark of courtesy for those of the faculty who have been the stanchest supporters of the head' master to tender their resignations to the Cathedral Chapter, in view of the manner in which their leader is taking his. leave. J'. It is generally understood (that the quistion of poor food at St. Paul's was brought up by the wealthier class of boys, who objected to a wholsesome diet, lacking the features of a more elaborate menu, to which they are accustomed at home.

It has been impossible to learn exactly what was the point at issue between Dr. Gammage and Bishop Burgess, which resulted in the resignation of the former. Bishop Buf-gess was en by an Eagle reporter and made the following statement: "The numerous rumors in regard to Dr. Gammage's resignation as head master of St. Paul's School are erroneous.

There has been no friction between the head master and any member of the Cathedral chapter on the ground of athletics or In regard to church services. The resignation of Dr. Gammage was entirely voluntary, and was mads po a question of jurisdiction. As Dr. Gammage's cfaims had been extended so as to embrace absolute control over the school, there was no question as to its acceptance by the Cathedral 'The Cathedral chapter, by its deed of gift, is bound, through Its schools committee, to exercise control over the two schools In Garden City.

"It is impossible for me to make more than a general denial of the various vague and untrue statements which have been placed from time to time In the newspapers: but I desire to say that the prospects of St. Paul's School for next year are good. The head master-elect is Walter R. Marsh, a Harvard graduste, class of 1889, and who has spent his whole subsequent life as an educator. We will carry on St.

Paul's a Chritian, school for the education of young men for college and for business, and ths Cathedral chapter will spare no pains to make the school an honor to the diocese and a benefit to the state, "As you have asked me for a state ment, I take this opportunity of express" lng the hope that neither the alumni ne the public will form any hasty conclusion from an ex-parte statement. This will vindicate the preesnt policy of the' chap ter and its honorable motives in pre serving control of the trust which has been given to Its care." The graduation exercises of St. Marys School, for girlB, are in progress to-day. A daughter of Dr. Gammage is a member of the class, and Bishop Burgess de livered the address to the graduates.

St. Paul's School closes n4xt week. DISORDERLY LAWYERS.

WRECKED IN PEC0NIC BAY. Sunday's Easterly Gale Too Much for Old, but Profitable, Schooner Emily and Irene. (Special to the Eagle.) Riverhead, L. June 6 It has Just been learned herj that the schooner Em ily and Irene was wrecked near Shinne-cock Canal In Peconte Bay during the heavy storm of Sunday, and that she has since been almost completely broken up. The vessel was a small coasting schooner, commanded by Captain William S.

Terrell, East Quogue, and owned by meu In that vicinity. She was an old boat, but had of late years been a money maker for her owners. She was anchored In the bay -on Sun day. The high wind blew her ashore and the heavy waves soon finished the work of almost complete destruction. There was only one man on her at the time, and he escaped Injury.

Her owners are now stripping her of all that is valuable. COLOR LINE IN BASEBALL. Alabama College Refuses to Play Vermont. Burlington. Vt June 6 Two baseball games which had been arranged for to day and to-morrow between the Univer slty of Vermont and the University of Alabama teams, have been cancelled by the management of the latter team, and the reason assigned Is the presence of two colored youths on the Vermont team.

The cancellation of these games Involves a forfeit of $300, It Is said, as the Vermont management declined to relase the Alabamans from their contract voluntarily. The two colored players on the Vermont team are Watklns. first baseman, who has recently been elected captain of the varsity football team, and Williams, second baseman.
