TO TRY SMALL BOYS Accused of Despoiling Major Nason's Splendid Pear Trees, FRUIT NOT RIPE, EITHER Judge Advised the Youngsters to Wait Until Fears Were Mature. All Discharged.

An "open court," in which seven small boys of various ages and their fathers were earnest participants, was held last night bn the stoop of Judge Naumer's house, at 354 Putnam avenue. The "court" attracted attention in the neighborhood and when word was freely, circulated by other small boys, who were undoubtedly enemies of the sad faced urchins on Judge Naumer's stoop that the boys on the stoop were to be hanged by the neck until they were dead, the feelings of outsiders became very strenuous. Now although wasn't murder that had been committed it was something very shocking, nevertheless. This, which came near being the first session in Brooklyn of "night court." was due to Major J. Harry Nason's pears.

Major Nason Is clerk of the Myrtle avenue court. He lives at 36H Monroe street and In his garden, which is one of the "beauty spots of upper Brooklyn, are three pear trees. Two of the trees are Flemish beauties and one is of the traditional rich Bartlett type. When the major saw his favorite fruit trees besieged by an army of small boys some brought their trousers pockets with them, other brought baskets, while others were even generous enough to bring bags bis eyes grew to be of abnormal size. It was no use to warn the boys to keep off the premises.

Throats of warrants, even of mandamuses and other dreadfully harrowing processes of courts of laws seemed to do no good. In fact, the more the Major threatened the larger the army of pear Invaders grew. Finally the Major could stand It no longer, because the Indications wore that if the raid continued tharo would not be sufficient "Flemish beauties" to fill a quart measure. He went forthwith to the Myrtle avenue court and set the machinery in motion for the Issuance of seven summonses for small boys as follows: James Collins, Martin Hill. Fred Seibert, John Black-more, Cordy Miranda, Sammy Blngdall and Harry Blackmore to appear In court.

It may be added that the fathers of the boys are Democrats, good and true. In the Seventeenth Assembly District, of which Judge Naumer has been the leader for years past. The seven small boys were ordered to appear in the Myrtle avenue court to-day. Therefore, when Magistrate Naumer saw his oldtlme friends of the Seventeenth Assembly District come trooping along with sundry small boys, last night, in the direction of his Btoop he rubbed his eyes. No time was lost in the way of preliminary motions.

Court opened at once and Mayor Nanson's "tale of woe" was told in most fruitful details. The story told to Magistrate Naumer was that the boys had brought in their respective mothers a lot of green pears and placed them as a home-loving tribute of a vacation day's work. The mothers, judging from what Magistrate Naumer said, arose and In one voice said: "How dare you bring In such fruit? Do you want to kill us ancV forthwith dumped the fruit Into the garbage can. After the magistrate had listened to the proceedings at length he adjourned the hearing until this morning, when Martin Hill appeare in the Myrtle Avenue Court, accompanied by his father. The Hill boy with his father was on a visit to Coney Island last night and consequently could not appear at the session of the Putnam Avenue Open Court.

Major Nason stated his grievance. He said that the trees yielded about three barrels of extraordinarily luscious fruit and that the loss of a large part of the same was a source of grave annoyance to himself and fumllv. Magistrate Naumer pointed out to the boys the serious wrong they had committed and I advised them to wait until the pears were ripe. Judge Naumer warned the boy present as he had done the others not to bother the major's orchard any more, and then dismissed the cases. Major Nason is one of Massachusetts minute nrjn and was one of the first soldiers of the Bav State to go to the front In the Civil War.

I see In It an expression of the feellnp of kinship and friendship which animate your majesty for the empress, myself and my house, being founded on the long-standing relation of our two houses, which found expression at the time when we bore a common sorrow at the grave of our beloved parent and at the bier of the great queen, my grandmother. "At the same time I see in your majesty the representative of the great British people, and in your majesty's visit an expression of the good relation between the two peoples. On your Journey to the castle your majesty could read In the eyes of the citizens of Cassel, and afterward In the countenances of all who had the pleasure of seeing your majesty, a feeling of homage and gratitude for this visit." In responding to this toast. King Edward, speaking In German, replied: "You rmajesty knows It ls my greatest wish that only the best and most pleasant relations should exist between our two nations.

Attacked Yesterday Afternoon in Saloon, but Police Did Not Learn of It Till To-day. Otto Wohllnger, a plumber, living with his wife and family at 193 East Houston street, Manhattan, was stabbed, undoubtedly fatally. In the toilet room of a saloon leBs than a block from his door, yesterday afternoon. Yet the first Information that the police had of It was when Dr.

Klngsley was summoned to the house of the dying man this morning at 9:25 to take him to Gouverneur Hospital. With his intestines hanging out. he had In some way dragged himself to his borne, and It was not until he bad lapsed Into unconsciousness that his wife, worn out by anxiety and the long watches of the night, summoned enough strength to call an ambulance. To Coroner Harburger. who was summoned In a hurry to Gouverneur Hospital when the surgeons found that Woblingcr had little or no chance of recovery, the victim told his story.

He had quarreled with a young man in the saloon. This young man ran out and returned In a couple of minutes with two others, one of them a burly fellow, who, without a word of explanation. Jumped at Woblingcr and stabbed him In the right side under the arm. Then, as the poor fellow turned, his assailant burled the knike In the small of his back, ripping it around to the abdomen. "Wohlinger told me that his assailant then wiped his knife carefully on his victim's clothes and went out without a word," said the coroner.

CAR HITS TRUCK. A car of the Crosstown line ran into a truck of the Longman Martinez var more than an adequate force was on band to-day. He added that several of the! strikers a willingness to return to work. His reports from offices all over the country were very -ltlsfactory and conditions In the New England field were especially gratifying. No Strikers Returning, Says Russell.

Mr. RusBell, of the strikers, denied positively that any of the union men ahd applied for reinstatement In the Western Union or the Postal Telegraph. "They will have to show us if they say any of our men are asking to come back. If they have had any applications there were not from our men." Copies of a telegram and postal card which were sent to Deputy President Percy Thomas by E. M.

Barnes, of the Philadelphia local, were exhibited at strike headquarters this morning to Illustrate the delay in the transmission of telegrams between this city and Philadelphia by the Western Union. The telegram was filed at 8:15 last night, and normally should be delivered here. It was declared, In two hours. It read: "Satisfactory progress. How are branches In New YoTk?" The postal card was mailed at about the same time, but was delivered at the strikers' headquarters at 10 o'clock, fifteen minutes before the telegram was delivered.

The postal card read: "Disregard telegram this date. It was sent to Illustrate for papers. Forget it." "That Just goes to show you that the people are getting better service by mall than through the Western Union." said Mr. Russell. "The committee appointed yesterday at the meeting." said Mr.

Russell, "will see Attorney General Jackson to get him to Inquire whether the Western Union ls living up to the provisions of its charter, and if it iBn't, to sue out an Injunction to have Its charer annuled. The Western Union Is incorporated In this state. I don't know If the Postal Telegraph Is. however. We shall see the Attorney General as soon as I can round up the committee." Handling All Business.

Early this morning at the offices of both the Western Union and the Postal Telegraph companies It was said that they were enabled to handle the business that came to them with normal despatch. During the night there was some annoyance from the railroad telegraphers out of town, but nothing of serious moment. The railroad telegraphers caused the annoyance by pulling out their keys and cailing the Western Union operators fancy names. They all took the precaution of continuing the annoyance hut a few moments at a time In order to avoid being located. All the operators were instructed to go ahead with their work and pay no attention to the Interruption.

Most of the trouble came from different parts of New York state. When the day shift went on In the Western Union at 8 o'clock almost the regular number of operators, men and women, were at the keys. It looked anything but like a strike when th keys begun to rattle with the business of the day. It was denied positively that any of the operators who had remained when the occurred had since left, as stated at the union headouartors yesterday. Instead, It was said that several who had been carried off their feet the day of tho strike had returned.

Business. It was stated, was moving this morning to all parts of the country over clear wires and that no difficulty was experienced In handling all that came to the companies. Attorney General Jackson the Strikers. Attorney General Jackson rived In town this morning. to Meet who ar-wlll meet the committee of the Telegraphers Union, headed by Daniel H.

Russell, some time this afternoon when the strikers will lay the situation before him from their point of view. Mr. Russell visited Attorney General Jaokson's office at noon, but he was not there. Earlier Mr. Jackson said that he had heard from the telegraphers In a general way, but was not prepared to say what could be done by tho state authorities.

He said that when the matter was placed before him in greater detail he would give It his most earnest consideration. He admitted that the matter was a most vital one. The conference will be held at Mr. Jackson's New York office, at 299 Broadway. NO ARBITRATION AT CHICAGO.

Conditions There Seem to Be Improving, However No Walkouts From Brokerage Houses. Chicago. August 15 The Postal and Western Union Telegraph companies today reopened their offices on the Board of Trado. The operators were comparatively few in number and the amount of business transacted was less than normal. Both companies declared, however, that they would bo able to Improve conditions later in the day, and to Increase still further their facilities tomorrow.

President Small of the Telegraphers Union was expected in town early today, but did not arrive, and it is said at the union headquarters that he would not come before some time to-night. It was declared last night that strikes would be called to-day In all brokerage houses, but up to a late hour In the morning no walkouts were reported. Many of tho leading houses have signed the union scale. The attempts at arbitration by Commissioner Nelll and other outside parties have up to the present time borne no fruit whatever. Both telegraph companies and the members of the union still declare that they will not arbitrate anything.

STRIKE HITS POTATO MARKET. Salem, N. August 15 The telegraph strike played havoc with the potato market hereabouts. The buyers have now to depend upon the malls to sell their produce, and hesitate to buy In large quantities. The price has dropped to $1.80 per barrel.

These farmers who sold their crops last week consider themselves most fortunate, as they doubt that the price will rtach $2.60 again ths season. The large growers are much worried, as the continuance of the strike will mean a big loss to them. BOSTON STRIKERS FIRM. Boston, August 15 Reports in connection with the telegraphers' strike situation in this city to-day showed improvement at the Western Union office, unchanged conditions at the Postal, and expressed determination on the part of the strikers to continue the contest.

WAS WITNESS AGAINST But Both Were Held for the Grand Jury on Larceny Charge Italians Interested, When Apple Maria, "eonsy," as the Scots would say, and weighing 250 pounl3 to an ounce, squeezed ber ample proportions Into the witness chair in tbe Ada js street court this morning, her lawyers, Lafroniere ft Jacobs, nearly had a fit, for they were defending her and Antonio Mlrro, her brother-in-law, on a charge of having stolen $1,400 from her husband, Gulseppe Ambroslo of 376 Shepherd avenue, Just before they eloped to Buffalo. Mrs. Ambrosia's cheeks are pink and rosy, Just as rosy as the cheeks of the apples she sells on the fruit stand near ber home, and her skin is white, and she told, unbluBhlngly, just how she ran away with Tonl, who Is more than fifteen years ber Junior and be ls 20. Toul bad married her Bister by civil process at an alderman's, but that was not enough.

The wedding had to be repeated before a print, and two or three days in advance of that Ton! and Maria bolted with $1,400 of Guiseppc's money. They took two tightly packed trunks with them, and were caught in Buffalo, where they were to begin a new, if immoral life, by Detective Lieutenant Martin McCau-ley, who spoiled their billing and cooing just when their billing and cooing was at Its start-off. Maria thought nothing then of the bambini, Raeffello, who is 12, and Gulseppe, who is and Tonl kicked Raeffello "In the slats," as Raeffello puts It, Just before he went, with never a word of remonstrance from the mother, who was standing by. Raeffello was protesting against t'oui takiug the al the time, and Toni thought he should be kicked. Tbe bearing of the case attracted no little attention, for the Italian colony in East New York bad been stirred up very much over tbe case, and there were many Italians who were there to listen to tbe story most of whom thought Maria had disgraced her sex and country, for tho Italian in his domestic relations Is usually pretty safe.

And tbey were disturbed because it Beemed that Maria had lost her head and would Btick to Tonl. But thoy made a mistake about that. Sb has turned to her husband since she came home, and to the two little boys, and in court this morning she was fondling them Just as if she had never thought of deserting them. And to the surprise of Tonl, she told the court how Toni had taken the money, and how tbey had agreed to go away to Buffalo together and forget all about Gulseppe and little Haexxello and little Joe. The Ambrosios are well known in the Itullan section of EftBt New York, for Ihey have been getting ulong pretty well they started there.

The husband Is a contracting mason and he has a fruit stand near his home, wbere the big wife presided and where they made money. It was, maybe, too strenuous a Job for Maria, but no matter what was the cause he ran oft wtth her brother-in-law on the 30th of last month be caught by the police in Buffa thilr Hunks had been shipped, niter. The guilty honeymoon wf lr. the bud, and Antonio's wlfo's presents, which had been carried the other things, Maria's iewe money, and her hunband's cash, recovered. Now Toni's wife nothing to i'o with him.

They I been married a day or two whei off with Maria. Maria's husband declared, wl was brought bark, that he would not with her again, but then there wtre th children to consider, and $1,300 and odd of the stolen money wore Iu the band! of the police. So he made up with Maria, and she went to attorney's office and confessed the whole thing, throwing the blame on Tjnl. as If she wore not fifteen yi'nrs his senior and the rraster mini of tho undertaking. But not a cheep of what ebe had done was arried to Toni's law- -yers, and when she brought her mighty bulk to the stand this morning and nearly wrecked the witness chair.

Ihey were much aorried. And they asked the sitting magistrate, Dooley. to inform her that sti9 need not answer questions that would tend to degrade and incriminate her. So the magistrate did. and it did not matter a bit to Maria, who told Just what had happeiifd on the morning of the 3loptment.

There was a divvy of th money, which she sild Tonl took from her husband. She got $750 of it and he kept $650. which was very generous and nice on his part. She was askd if intended to live with Tonl as bis wife. "Certainly," said she.

Wk. Mrs. Benners Brings Mrs. White to Court, Complaining of Abusive Language. MRS.

WHITE TURNED TABLES By Showing That Her Husband Had Been In Mrs. Benner's Com- pany Recently. Mrs. Elizabeth White, through her lawyer, Edwin B. Wilson, quickly turned the tables when arraigned in the Gates avenue court to-day to answer a charge of disorderly conduct made By Mrs.

qnle Benners and the former's husband will have to appear in court and explain some little matters which both women are interested in. Mrs. White claims that her husband, Harry White, a oohtractor, well known to politicians who gather at the Borough Hall, has been too friendly wih Mrs. Benners. She claims to have gone to Mrs.

Benners' home to remonstrate with her and as a result of that visit Mrs. Benners had her arrested for calling her names. The Whites live at 121 Rogers avenue. Mr. White is said to have been twice married and to be the father of twenty-two children.

He has done considerable work, under contract, on several of the borough buildings. Mrs. Benners, a widow with several children, lives at 28 Rogers avenue. She occupies the first flat and enjoys a very good reputation. When she caused Mrs.

White's arrest she charged that she had "threatening and abusive lailgunge." The arrest was made by Court Officer Michael Collins. In her complaint Mrs. benners swears Mrs. White said to her on the occasion of her visit 'August 1 words that were derogatory to her character. When first brought to court Mrs.

White was without counsel. She was declared to be a woman who suffered from hysteria. It was said she Imagined her husband was otng about visiting persons when as a matter of fact, he was Just attending to affairs of business. The case was adjourned and when Mrs. White appeared In court to-day she was accompanied by Lawyer Wilson.

Magistrate Hylan recognized the woman and said, looking in the direction of Mrs. White: "Yes, this Is the woman who suffers from hysteria; the one who goes about Imagining things; thinks her husband Is calling on other women. I remember the case." Mrs. White, a low spoken woman, tried to make reply, but her words did not, apparently, reach the court. She colored a bit, and Mrs- Benners seemed troubled.

Magistrate Hylan seemed ready to dispose of the case when Lawyer Wilson leaned far over and said he would like the court to know that the summons for Mrs. White was served on Saturday and that she (Mrs. White) had seen the summons In her husband's coat pocket, on Friday. "What's that?" asked the court. "The summons for Mrs.

White was seen by her In Mr. White's pocket the day be-fore It was served," replied the lawyer. Hylan wanted to know who Kid served the summons. Mrs. Benners $id she had given It to a gentleman to Berve.

She was asked to give the name of the gentleman. The woman upd the lawyer said to her: "Did you not give the summons to Mr. iWhite?" "Yes, did you give the summons to this woman's asked the court. "Do I have to answer that question?" asked Mrs. Benners.

embarrassed- "Answer the question," replied the court. "Yes," replied the woman in a low tone. "So you have seen this woman's husband? Tuke subpena for Mr. White and have him here on August "0. to which date I'll adjourn this case." said the court.

Mrs. White claims that she took her husband to task away back in November last. She told him he was calling too frequently at the home of Mrs. Benners. Then, she says, she received a letter from Mrs.

Benners telling her that she did not de6lre her husband's company, did not encourage him to call, and would be obliged If Mrs. White would keep him away from her. GOLF AT SHELTER ISLAND. Clifford Sunning Leads in Qualifying Bound With Card of 82. (Special to the Eagle.) Bhelter Island, L.

John Hull of 227 Twenty-second street, who was arrested on August 7, charged with striking three Italia during a row on Fifth avenue and Twenty-fourth Btreet, that night, when it was thought that one of the foreigners had attempted to entice the girl Into a stoneyard nearby, was tried before Judge Qeismar in the Fifth avenue court, this morning. A number of witnesses were examined, who declared Hull bad not only struck one the Italians with his first, but had picked up a stone and had thrown It at the group of foreigners.

The stone, is claimed struck one of the Italians in the face. There was plenty of witnesses, too, wh swore that Hull was innocent of wrongdoing, but the Judge decided their evidence Insufficient, and held Hull in $1,000 bail to await the action of the Grand Jury. TINSMITH MISSING. Michael Unveldt, a tinsmith, 20 years old, who lives with his wife and several children at 48 Noll street, started for work last Monday morning and has not been heard from since.

Mr. Russell wouldn't say how much money the union had, but he said It was four times as much as had been asserted $28,000.

Other officers of the union had admitted that It was below $100,000. Mr. Russell said the union had not found It necessary to call out a single operator in the financial district. He said earlier in the dav that he would call man at 10:15. After that time he said he hadn't called out the operator because the broker who employed him had signed the schedule.

The effort made yesterday at the general meeting of Local No. 16 to have the financial district operators strike proved to be a failure. The operators in the Wall Street section are more numerous than the strikers themselves, and they are decided on the Question of sticking to their jobs. Mr. Russell said that he couldn't make any statement about what the O.

who would like to precipitate a sympathetic strike, but the leaders of the O. R. T. have been firm, so far, In insisting that the members of that union abide by their agreement with the railroads. The efficiency of the local telegraph service was tested to-day by massnges sent from Western Union offices in New York to addresses In the city.

A message sent from the Broadway office of the Western Union at 10:45 was aenveren in Brooklyn at 11:06. This was much beter than was usual under conditions that prevailed before the strike. It was. In fact, sent and received with unusual despatch. However, It did not prove that there was no delay in the service.

There was reason to believe that there was delay In many cases.

no trouble with the railroads over the question of using their wires for commercial business. Thirty Branch Offices Closed. General Manager Belvldere Brooks, when seen this morning, said the business of the Western Union was practically at Its normal condition. "We were all cleaned up last night, when I left," said Mr. Brooks, "and I understand that we are going on nicely to- about the branches offices which you closed up?" was asked.

"In Greater New York We have closed up about thirty of the small, unimportant branch offices." said Mr. Brooks, "and we may never open them again, because the business done there hardly justified It." "What about the trouble between your company and the railroads on the question of transmitting commercial business over railroad wires?" was asked. "That is all bosh!" said the general manager. "There ls no trouble. There is no controversy.

The matter has not even been discussed. We have a contrsct with the railroads which we expect them to carry out. but we are not expecting them to do any more than the contract calls for. We hav6 not asked the railroads to do any more business now than before the walk out. We do not intend to.

The railroad telegraphic lines can only do a certain amount of business, and we are not piling up any of our business upon them." "Then you do not anticipate any controversy or Issue with the railroad companies?" was asked. "No. not In the slightest," was the reply. "We are doing normal business, and there has been no disposition on the part of the railway companies not to live up to their agreement or contract, and as we are not demanding more than what the contract calls for, there is really no lseno, and there can be no trouble." Here Superintendent Brooks stated he had received two written applications from two men who had walked out, on Monday, and he had to turn down their request for reinstatement because they were all filled up. Will Not Replace Loyal Employes.

"The men and women In our employ will not be replaced by any of those who walked out. Not a man will be discharged to make room for those now out." said Mr. Brooks. "Supposing you had 100 of the operators make application at once; what would you do with regard to their application? "1 repeat, we would not make room for them by discharging any of those now in our employ. One result of this entire situation is this.

Many former telegraphers have come back Into the business, because the bonus given them Is an Inducement, and when the bonuses stop most of them wil lremaln with us In preference to doing something else, because the wage In many Instances Is greater than they had been receiving In other occupations. The Western Union officers are determined to force the fight on the union. They have destroyed the Commercial Telegraphers Union three or four times and are fully determined to do It again. One of the officials seen later said that he was opposed, and had alwayB been opposed, to the recognition of union labor, particularly in regard to such business as the telegraph. He stated the telegraph business was by nature confidential and private, and should be kept so.

Union men; he contended, gave their flrBt allegiance to the unions, and this allegiance was inimical to the best Interests of the company. Postal Conditions Improved. The following statement was Issued from the offices of the Postal Telegraph Company by E. J. Nally.

vice president, this morning: "The Postal Telegraph Company reports Improved conditions at all points this morning, In the East and West especially where business ls moving smoothly as usual, and where the traffic is well up. "All points report an Increase In the number of men this morning, and at New York three of the strikers returned, explaining that they felt they had fulfilled their obligations as members of the union by going out when called, especially since the call turns out to be Illegal and unauthorized, and they realize that the fight Is a hopeless one. "Branch offices Bre being rapidly reopened at all points and we resume business on the floor of the Chicago Board of Trade this morning.

A Are which broke out In the row of detached frame bouses on Thirty-seventh street, between Thirteenth and Fourteenth avenues, yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock, gained a headway owing to the distance from the nearest fire apparatus, but was promptly subdued after the arrival of the engines.
