HUSBAND GAVE WIFE'S WATCH TO ANOTHER WOMAN
Charged with assaulting his wife, ROBERT W.HOWLETT, was held in $500 bail for
trial at Special Sessions, in the Gates avenue court today.
Several weeks ago, Mrs.HOWLETT said, she gave her husband her watch to
pawn.The day before Christmas she asked her husband to redeem it, but he
refused.On Christmas night,Miss CORA RABOIG,a matual friend of the HOWLETTS,
called at their home. During the conversation Miss RABOIG said HOWLETT had
given her a gold watch for Christmas.Mrs.HOWLETT asked to see it, and
discovered it was the one she had given him to pawn.HOWLETT demanded that his
wife return the watch to the RABOIG woman, and when she refused,she said he
struck her on the face, rendering her unconscious. Howlett denied he had
struck his wife, but said when she attempted to strike him with a train of
toys, he pushed her away, causing her to fall.

escaping gas,discovered his plight.

MILKMAN SAVES TWELVE FROM DEATH
The timely arrival of the milkman was all that prevented the probable death
of at least twelve persons in a crowded Freeman street apartment house early
yesterday. Despite the arrival of aid, three of the victims,overcome by gas,
were in such a serious condition that it required the constant atttendance of
two ambulance surgeons for more than an hour before they were restore to
consciousness.
It was shortttly after 5 o'clock that HENRY VanNOSTRAND, while on his early
milk rounds, stopped at 101 Freeman street. In spite of the early hour
VanNOSTRAND was surprise att the inactivity and silence that prevailed.
Stepping into the hallway he detected the odor of gas,but did not grow
suspicious until, knocking on the door of the lower rooms,he received no
response.
Running to the street he called for aid and Policeman GUDE and FARLEY,
hurried back with him to the house. Breaking in the door, the rescuers were
nearly overcome by the deadly gas. Three men in the front room was found
dead, they were, MARK DIXON, LUZON PAPRINS, and STEPEN CRISTO.
The police believe all of the occupants of the apartment would have been
suffocatted, if VanNOSTRAND had not arrived as early as he did.

[Headline cut off]
Borough President STEERS is busy these days receiving delegations of
taxpayers who have "kicks" to make. To-day there was a delegation from the Grand
Street Board of Trade, which had a bitter complaint because work in connection
with the Scott avenue sewer is injuring business interests. Metropolitan
avenue, it is claimed, is in a very bad traffic condition, demoralized and
business generally brought almost to a standstill. Dozens of stores along
Metropolitan avenue have been vacated.
The delegation called on the Bronx President to urge him to afford some
sort of relief from these conditions. They asked that a temporary bridge be
constructed at Scott avenue, so that trucking and trolley service may proceed.
Contractor CREEM was present, as well as Chief Engineer FORT, of the Sewer
Bureau. It was stated by Mr. FORT that such a bridge would cost considerable
money.
The Borough President suggested that a committee of the delegation find
out if the B.R.T. would contribute to a part of the cost of such a bridge. He
will receive the delegation again in a few days.

IS 100 YEARS OLD; WALKS LIKE GAYNOR.
John M. BUTLER, of Ocean Grove, N.J., entered his one hundred and first
year last Sunday. He was born at Tottenville, S.I., Jan.16, 1810, and
grew up on the farm of his father, Thomas BUTLER, who was a sea captain
and slave owner. Mr. BUTLER walks five miles every day, gets up at 7,
goes to bed at 9, eats oysters heartily and has a good appetite.
He drinks coffee three times a day, has an astonishing memory and has
always been a lover of fast horses, owning several in his time. A
short time ago he had a severe attack of cold in his bladder, and was
given up to die by three doctors, when he cured himself by taking
Warner's Safe Cure. Until a few months ago Mr. BUTLER made regular
business trips to New York. he has an only son, John, who is now 78 years old.
O'KEEFFE PLANS FOR MORE FIRE HOUSES
Brooklyn will not be long without adequate fire fighting facilities,
according to the plans mapped out by Deputy Commissioner Arthur J. O'KEEFFE. Mr.
O'KEEFFE has ordered Deputy Fire Chief LALLY to prepare a comprehensive report
on the number of new fire-houses needed in the various sections of the
borough, together with all sites suitable and available for their erection; the
style of building needed and the estimated cost. His report, he expects, will be
ready within the next two weeks, and he will then submit it to the
Controller's office.
Mr. O'KEEFFE realizes many of the outlying sections of the borough are
woefully lacking in adequate fire fighting facilities. This has been clearly
proved by the disastrous fires which have broken out during the past year.
Borough Park, in response to the vigorous demands of its residents finally
succeeded in getting a fire house awarded to the section after much property loss had
been occasioned by fires there. Flatbush, New Lots and other districts were
also visited by costly fires. Flatbush will be one of the first sections to
get its new fire house. That is practically assured by a statement of Mr.
O'KEEFFE himself. All that is delaying the matter is the selection of a site.
WOMAN BANKRUPT FILES PETITION.
Sarah LEGAL of 90 Hart street, filed a petition in bankruptcy in the

CANCELS ASSESSMENT AGAINST MRS. KENNEDY
The highest personal assessment on the 1910 tax books was entirely
canceled to-day. Mrs. John S. KENNEDY was assessed at $6,000,000, but it has been
shown that her bequest from the KENNEDY estate amounted to $1,000,000,
consisting mostly of city bonds and stocks. Concerning the cancellation President
Lawson W. PURDY of the Tax Board said:
"The assessment was made at a high figure on account of the size of Mr.
KENNEDY's estate. Mrs. KENNEDY has only received the special bequest of
$1,000,000 from the estate, and this consisted almost entirely of city bonds and
stock. The taxable balance is more than offset by legal obligations to
contribute to education and other benevolent causes."
"FLATBUSH TOMMY'S" BROTHER NOT IN FIGHT
To the Editor of The Standard Union:
In the Standard Union, Thursday, Jan. 20, there appeared an item headed
"Three Men Stabbed in Fight on Ship." One of these men was said to be William
MURPHY, a brother of "Flatbush Tommy," a pugilist. I have no brother named
William, and none of my brothers was implicated. I understand this "MURPHY" is
a Swede. I wish you would please correct this for me, and greatly oblige.
Yours truly,
TOMMY MURPHY

DR. HOGAN TO LECTURE TO ST. FRANCIS BOYS.
The Rev. Martin J. HOGAN, D.D., administrator of St. Mary's Star of the
Sea Church, Court and Luquer streets, will to-morrow become a member of the
faculty of St. Francis' College, in Butler street. Dr. HOGAN will give a
course of lectures on metaphysics to the members of the senior class.
Dr. HOGAN is well qualified for the work, as he was for several years
professor in Archbishop Ireland's seminary in St. Paul. The new work will not
interfere with Dr. HOGAN's parish duties, as he will lecture but two hours a
day at the college.
GASFITTER HOFFMAN INHERITS FORTUNE.
William HOFFMAN, a gas fitter, earning $3 a day, who is contemplating
matrimony in the near future, received a fine wedding present yesterday. While
he was reading the comic papers in his room at 57 Willoughby street a
special delivery letter brought the information that an aunt who recently died in
New Orleans left a fortune of $100,000, of which he will receive half.
The welcome news HOFFMAN received is unwelcome in another respect. It
discloses the fact that Miss Minerva HOFFMAN, of 460 Blue avenue, Chicago,
whom he had always supposed was his sister, is only a foster sister, and cannot
legally share in the estate left by Mrs. B. Sarah BREDSTER, the dead aunt.
HOFFMAN says he always regarded her as his sister, and that now in the hour of
his prosperity he does not intend to change his mind, but will see she
shares equally in the estate with the other heir, William HOFFMAN, of Minneapolis.

received diplomas. The young women are very popular in this section and
prominently affiliated with a number of social and charitable organizations
in the Hebrew Educational Society Building. During the latter part of this
week they will enter training school to pursue a higher education.
MISS IRENE SINELNIK CARRIES OFF SCHOOL HONORS
That Brownsville has a coming suffragette leader in the person of
little Miss Irene SINELNIK, of 1752 Pitkin avenue, was evident from the
manner she rendered the valedictory at the elaborate graduation exercises
of Public School No. 84, girls, held at the new auditorium of the school
building, Stone and Glenmore avenues, Friday afternoon. The friends and parents
that taxed the auditorium were compelled to rise from their seats in order
to see the young valedictorian, who is only about three feet tall. She
managed to secure the gold medal awarded by the Alumni Association for the pupil
who secured the highest percentage out of a class of 68 pupils. This was the
first event of its kind given in the new auditorium and the first graduation
exercises without the presence of District Superintendent James J. McCABE, who
was unable to attend, owing to illness. Addresses to the graduates were delivered by
Miss Mary DAMMANN,
Miss Mary FINLEY,
William B. ROTH and Baruch MILLER.

NINE YEAR OLD ELSIE D'ESPERRE WAS SKIPPING ROPE WHEN STRUCK BY MACHINE
Elsie D'ESPERRE, nine years old, of 225 McDonough Street, was run down
by an automobile in front of her home last night and so seriously injured
that she died a few minutes after her mangled form had been carried into the house
With a number of playmates the girl was skipping a rope on the
sidewalk. She held one end of the rope and stood near the gutter. For some
reason she stepped off the curb just as the automobile, driven by John H.
ERNST, of 318 Park Place, approached.
Just how the accident happened no one seems to know. The girl
apparently backed against the running board of the car, tried to jump away,
slipped and fell.
The rear wheel rolled over her body. When the car was stopped the
little one was unconscious. She was picked up and carried into her home and
laid on the dining room table. The sight of her injured daughter so unnerved
the mother she became hysterical.
A call was sent to St. John's Hospital. Dr. GRIFFIN responded. The
girl was breathing faintly, and about a minute after the doctor arrived the expired.
The doctor's examination showed that two ribs and her spine had been
fractured and that the broken ribs probably penetrated the lungs.
ERNST was arrested and taken to the Gates Avenue police station, where
he was later admitted to bail in $10,000 by Magistrate HYLAN.
OTHER AUTO ACCIDENTS
Ward MULLER, 16 years old, of 64 Pennsylvania avenue, while driving an
automobile owned my Municipal Court Judge RICHARD's through Monroe Street
last night ran over nine-year-old Benjamin SEKLIR, of 102 Patchen Avenue, who
was playing at Monroe Street and Patchen Avenue. The injured boy was taken
to the office of Dr. PULMAN, at Reid Avenue and Monroe Street, where it was
found his nose was broken and his thigh injured. MULLER was arrested.
Frank MARTIN, 62 years old, of 7709 Fourth Avenue, was run down in
front of his home last night by an auto driven by Dr. Max WACKMAN, of 429
Forty-third Street. The only injuries the man received were lacerations of
the face and bruises of the body. He was attended by Dr. HUNTER of Norwegian
Hospital and went home. The doctor was arrested.
POLICEMAN VAN HUTON'S HEROIC RESCUE WORK
Barren Island, the place of smells, which takes the city's refuse into
the maw of its disposal plant and transforms it into fertilizer, was
yesterday afternoon the scene of another disaster that resulted in loss of
life and wholesale injury. An explosion of steam pipes in the plant of the
New York Sanitary Utilization Company scattered boiling oil, refuse and heavy
pieces of iron and steel in all directions.
Anthony CARDITZ, 21 years old, was so badly injured he died an hour
after being removed to St. Mary's Hospital, Kitrian LEXCOSAT, 19 years old,
is in St. Mary's hovering between life and death, and John SORVONA, 27 years
old, is in Kings County Hospital, his condition equally as serious.
In addition to the men most serously injured fully a score suffered
more or less from the accident. John WATERS, 32 years old, was badly scalded
about the body; Carl HOGG, 44 years old, was burned about the head and body;
Matthew HUBBARD, 40 years old, a negro, was burned about the head and
Patrolman Isaac VANHUTON, of the Carnarsie police station, was cut on the leg
while trying to pull a heavy piece of machinery off CARDITZ. The "cop"
risked his life to help the wounded man, as CARDITZ was held under a heap of
wreckage. In trying to remove him VAN HUTON dislodged some of the debris and
it came tumbling down on him.
The severity of the explosion can be judged by the fact that two large
portions of the roof of the building in which the trouble occurred were blown
hundreds of feet away into Jamaica Bay. Hugh pieces of metal that had formed
a part of condensers or of the plant's digestors were blown equally as far.
The explosion was heard for miles around and at the time a boat from the
harbor patrol was near the island. Acting Captain MCKEOWN was in command and
immediately made a landing. Together with the members of his crew he
assisted many men out of the wrecked building. He also telephoned to
Brooklyn for assistance, and soon ambulances from Bradford Street, St. Mary's
and the Kings County Hospitals came clanging up to Carnarsie Landing.
CARDITZ and the other badly injured men were conveyed across the bay in the
patrol boat and hurried to the hospitals. Surgeon O'KEEFE burried away with
CARDITZ and LEXCOSAT to St. Mary's Hospital; Surgeon ELLSBACH took SORVONA to
Kings County Hospital, and Surgeon BEST, of Bradford Street dressed the
injuries of the men who did not need to be removed.
What caused the explosion is not known. It is thought, however, some
of the steam pipes entering a condenser were weakened through constant usage
and unable to stand the heavy strain to which they are subjected. An effort
was made to get a statement from the officials of the utilization company
following the explosion, but they refused to talk.
Great excitement prevailed on the island following the explosion. The
members of the families of the men who worked in the plant hurried to the
scene from all directions and it was with difficulty that many of the
excitable Polish women could be restrained from entering the place when they
could not find those they sought.
Capt. DULFER, of the Canarsie station, with a squad of his men,
reached the scene as soon as he could cross the water. They quieted the
panic-stricken men and women and helped care for the injured. Patrolman
VANHUTON was with this squad and proved to be the hero. When his leg was
injured he bound knotted handkerchiefs around the limb so as to stop the flow
of blood from the lacerations, and then continued his efforts to get CARDITZ
from beneath the machinery that was crushing out his life. Patrolman William
MATTHEWS also performed good work and rescued several men.

The fire occurred shortly after 7 o'clock, and was caused by the
explosion of an overturned kerosene lamp in the kitchen of the Grippa
apartments. The burning oil spread rapidly over the floors. The occupants
of the house, rushed pell mell to the street, and in an instant the building,
a four-story brick structure, was deserted.
In the excitement, Mrs. GRIPPA, who was in her bed, was forgotten.
Once in the street, though, the panic-stricken Italians remembered the
woman and a great cry was set up. REILLY responded and rushed into the
building. He fought his way to the top floor, and after searching all the
rooms, found the woman unconscious in her bed. He picked her up, and
carrying her to the stairs, began the descent.
The smoke was so dense he had to five up his effort to carry the
woman. He laid her on the stairs and creeping backward himself dragged her
after him. In this way he managed to get the benefit of what little air
there was close to the floors during the drip down the three flights of
stairs.
When the street was reached Dr. KNOLLER of the Long Island College
Hospital attended the woman, and after considerable work revived her
sufficiently to be taken to a friend's home. The GRIPPA apartments were
badly burned, damage of more than $500 being done by the fire.

He had been making a call on Saturday night and on his way home called at a
saloon at Metropolitan and Driggs Avenues.
While he was drinking, several men in the place induced him to play
for them. So well did the violin sound to one of those present, a man
unknown to the saloonkeeper, he got STRAHL to deliver a message for him in
the next block. When the aged German returned the fiddle and his overcoat

With tears streaming down his face, STRAHL today told his story to

standing beside the fellow, caught him by the coat as he sprang over the
rail. The garment parted, CHERRY then jumped into the water after ECKHOLDT.
Cries of 'man overboard" , caused great excitement. The Colorado was stopped
and a boat was lowered. Before deckhands got into it cries were heard coming
from the spiles (?) near the end of the slip.
There CHERRY was found clinging to ECKHOLDT. The two men were dragged to
the deck of the ferryboat. Patrolman MEADE, of the East twenty-second street

Brewing Company and a motorman in charge of a trolley car in Atlantic avenue,
Patrolman Frederick MOHRMAN, of the Hamilton avenue station, who was a
passenger on the car, arrested HASS on a charge of disorderly conduct and
took him to the Bergen street station, which was nearest the scene of the
trouble. At the station house the policeman said HASS had accused the
motorman of hitting one of the horses of his team with the forward end of the
car, and that when HASS was ordered to drive on and cease his abusive
language he gave the officer back talk, also disregarding the fact that
MOHRMAN exposed his shield.
MOHRMAN did not have it all his own way at the station house, for HASS
accused him of punching him in the face with his fist and arresting him at
the point of a pistol. Captain Hayes reported no marks of violence appeared
on the prisoner's face. Borough Inspector HOLAHAN is investigating.

Two Italians, giving Brooklyn as their home, were taken before Justice
HILDRETH to-day and charged with having stolen a horse and rig, which they
were driving. They were sent to jail to await word from the police of

their manner changed entirely, each accusing the other of stealing the rig.
The prisoners gave their names as Charles DOLLIPPO and Alberto SANTIRO.
They were driving a horse and wagon in Quogue after trying to sell it for
almost nothing and the Sheriff was informed. His men caught them just outside

ATTACKED BY STRANGE DOG; BITTEN IN LEG
Alonzo KESSLER, 42 years old, of 301 Eldert street, was bitten by a dog in

attacked him. Ambulance surgeon MENDER took him to the German Hospital.
FRACTURES HIS SKULL FALLING FROM ROOF

fell from the roof of a house on the Shore road yesterday and sustained a

FORCE DROWNING MAN'S MOUTH OPEN; SAVE HIM
Desperate methods had to be used to save the life of Antonio NOTARO, a
contractor, of 40 Morris avenue, Woodhaven, who was seized with cramps in the
water beyond the life line at Rockaway Beach yesterday. Life Guards Frank
WILLIAMSON, John WILLIAMSON, and Jess MICHELL sped after him when they saw
him sink. When they got to him, the Italian was completely exhausted, and one
of the lifesavers had to use a stick to pry his mouth open to give the
drowning man air.
This was a tougher task than imagined, and when the man was laid on the
sands so much blood flowed from his mouth spectators thought for a time he
had been involved in a fight while swimming.
An hour's work was required to bring him on his feet again. Then he
revived enough to go home, after thanking his rescuers profusely.
NOTARO was throwing a rubber ball about with a friend Vincent POROCCO, and
so engrossed did they become in the sport they went beyond the lines before
they knew it. POROCCO was also half overcome by his exertions.
On the last Fourth of July the two WILLIAMSONS and MICHELL saved the lives
of four bathers, who had ventured beyond the point of danger. They had a hard
fight then as they did yesterday. The young men have forty rescues to their
credit. Yesterday's rescue was witnessed by a big crowd.
HELD FOR STABBING, HIS VICTIM DYING
Charged with felonious assault, his victim dying in a hospital of a knife
wound which punctured the lung, Salvatore CORA, 36 years old, of 44 Carroll
street, was held without bail for examination Thursday by Magistrate TIGHE,
in the Butler street court to-day.
Michael ROONEY, of 321 Columbia street, is the injured man. In a fight
That started between the two early to-day, from some cause which no one seems
to know, he was stabbed in the left side of the chest. The four inch blade of
a sailor's jack knife passed between his ribs and buried itself in his lung.
When Patrolmen MC MILLAN and BOMGARD reached the scene of the stabbing, at
President and Columbia streets, they found CORA still holding the bloody
knife, struggling to get away from Christopher MORIARITY, of 817 Columbia
street ROONEY had been carried to the station house, where he was examined by Dr.
BURKE, who rushed him to the hospital.

APPENDICITIS VICTIM TAKEN ILL IN STREET
Suddenly stricken in the street with appendicitis, Motinio CARMECHO was last
evening taken to his home at 250 Rockaway Avenue. CARMECHO was walking along
Broadway and at Gates Avenue he was seized with severe pain. He staggered
along a few steps when passersby grabbed him and sat him down on the curb to
rest. A chair was then gotten from one of the neighboring stores and an
ambulance call was sent to Bushwick Hospital.
Dr. HOWARD responded and found the man in a serious condition with
appendicitis. He told this to CARMECHO and said he was going to take him to
the hospital. CARMECHO vigorously protested, urging him to take him home
instead. This the surgeon did and the family physician was called and an
operation was decided upon as imperative to save his life.
TRIES TO KILL HERSELF WITH FORK AND ICE PICK
Declaring she was tired of life, Bertha BAARSCH, 50 years old, of 153 Albany
Avenue, suddenly sprang to her fet from the breakfast table this morning and
seizing a fork stabbed herself six times in the breast before her astonished
husband could wrest the weapon form her grasp. After he had succeeded
however, the woman seized an icepick and renewed her endeavors, this time
inflicting several wounds just above her heart.
After her wounds had been attended by Ambulance Surgeon MILLER, of St. John's
Hospital, she was sent by Magistrate HARRIS of the Gates Avenue court to the
Kings County Hospital for examination as to her sanity. Her act is said to
be due to ill-health resulting from depression.
LIFEGUARD RESCUES TWO BOYS FROM DROWNING
John F. BRADY, a lifeguard employed by the Dock Department at the foot of
Thirty-seventh Street, saved the lives of two boys who fell into the water
today. John SCHMITT, 14 years old, of 462 Twentieth Street and another boy
were playing on a raft when SCHMITT fell overboard. BRADY dived after him
and succeeded after a hard struggle in bringing him to land. The other
youth, whose name could not be learned, also went to BRADY's assistance and
would have drowned but for the life saver's assistance.
SCHMITT was unconscious when taken out of the water, but was brought around
by a physician.
TRAFFIC COP RESCUES AGED WOMAN FROM FIRE
While a fire which caused only $100 in damages was in progress at 573 Third
Avenue today, Mounted Patrolman Charles H. MOSES, of Traffice Squad D, went
through the smoke-filled halls to the third floor, where he found Mrs. Anna
BARKWARK, 68 years old, in a hysterical condition. She was carried to the
street by the policeman.
The flames started in a closet of the second floor. The building is owned
and occupied by H. SETOMER, who uses the first floor as a store.
SAYS HE WAS ROBBED AND BEATEN AT CONEY ISLAND
William MAYER, 43 years old, an ex-Councilman of West New York, NJ, was held
in $1,500 bail for examination on July 11 in the Coney Island court today on
a charge of grand larceny preferred by Philip DENDERNAGEL, of the same town.
The latter alleges that early in June he and MAYER, with others, were at a
hotel in Coney Island and that he was robbed of $500. He says MAYER took the
money, but the latter denied it. Then, said DENDERNAGEL, he was beaten so
badly that he spent four days in the hospital.
DENDERNAGEL waited for his chance to secure the arrest of MAYER. It came
last night when the ex-Councilman placed himself within the jurisdiction of
the court and a warrant sworn out nearly a month ago was served.
8 July 1910
ACCIDENTS IN PAIRS; FATHER AND SON HURT
That troubles do not come singly is firmly believed by the members of the
LEACHNER family, who live at (2?)24 South Third Street. This fact was
impressed upon them last night.
While at work in the factory of the Williamsburg Mineral Water Company at 63
Moore Street, Abraham, 23 years old, was badly cut about the face, hands and
body when an overcharged syphon exploded. He was attended and removed to St.
Catharine's Hospital by Ambulance Surgeon CAMPBELL.
At about the same time Abraham's father, Wolf, 49 years old, was sitting on
the stoop of his home watching several boys playing ball. The ball was
batted by one of the boys and struck LEACHNER between the eyes. LEACHNER had
glasses on and they were shattered. Pieces of the glasses penetrated both
eyeballs, and he was also stunned by the blow.
Ambulance Surgeon COHEN removed him to the Eastern District Hospital, where
it was said he will probably lose his sight.
BITES NOSE OF MAN WHO WAS HIS RIVAL IN LOOKS
Giovanni SAPORITA, 28 years old, was held in $1,000 bail for examination by
Magistrate TIGHE in the Adams Street court today on a charge of mayhem,
lodged against him by Frank SCHEPIS, of 4205 Thirteenth Avenue, who alleged
on March 24 he and the defendant quarreled over which was the better looking
man, and in the fight that followed SAPORITA bit the lower part of his nose off.
SAPORITA was arrested yesterday afternoon by Detectives CROWLEY and SULLIVAN
in Newark, NJ.
BOY'S FALL THROUGH ROOF SPOILS PICTURE
Jacob LEVINE, 12 years old, of 457 Rockaway Avenue, was on the roof of the
four-story building in which he lives today watching a photographer, who has
a glass roof extension gallery on the first story, taking a picture of two
little girls.
Jacob was so interested in the work he lost his balance and spoiled the
picture by falling through the glass roof at the moment the button was being
pressed. The patrons of the photographer screamed and fled and the latter
was overcome by fright and closed up his gallery for the balance of the day.
Surgeon GRAY, from St. Mary's Hospital, attended to some cuts on the boy's
face and head and took the lad to the institution in the ambulance. He says
Jacob will be all right in a few days.
9 July 1910
BLAME MOTORMAN FOR CAR ACCIDENT
One Dead in Church Avenue Crash - BREGEL is Held on Homicide Charge
EIGHTEEN WERE INJURED
CALDERWOOD Says Motorman Was Not Minding Business
A charge of homicide is now hanging over the head of the motorman of the
Church Avenue car which jumped the track last night and killed one and
injured eighteen when it crashed into an iron pole at Thirty-seventh Street
and Thirteenth Avenue. The motorman, William BREGEL, of 243 Sumpter Street,
was before Magistrate NAUMER in the Flatbush court today and was held in
$1,000 bail on that charge. No complaint was made against the conductor,
Samuel MORRIS, of 615 Stone Avenue.
It is believed there be no further deaths as a result of the accident, other
than that of George DENGEL, of 308 Lincoln Road, who was killed outright when
the car struck the pole. While several of the eighteen persons injured are
suffering badly, their conditions are not serious. The injured are:
Pauline BURK, 25 years, 478 Hopkinson Avenue: abrasions of face and right arm.
Goldie BURK, 1 year, 478 Hopkinson Avenue: contusions and abrasions.
Louis CADIERIE, 36, of 1855 Douglas Street: contusions of left side and leg,
internal injuries; Kings County Hospital.
Mamie CARROLL, 28, of 171 Cooper Street: contusions of right hip.
Max JACOBS, 32, of 26 Ames Street: contusions and abrasions.
Mary MIKULSKI, 16, of 820 Park Avenue: contusions of arms.
William MITZER, 28, of 25 Grafton Street: contusions of left arm, possibly
fractured skull; Kings County Hospital.
Sidney NADLER, 1276 Forty-first Street: contusions of body.
Henry NADLER, of 1276 Forty-first Street: contusions of body.
Abraham PADOLSKI, 34, of 485 Hopkinson Avenue: abrasions and contusions of left leg.
Mrs.Dora PADOLSKI: fractured left arm, shock: Norwegian Hospital.
Clare PEPIS, 18, of 825 Park Avenue, contusions of right elbow.
Carl RITTER, 14, of 253 Dumont Avenue: fractured right arm; Norwegian Hospital
Benjamin SIEGEL, 74, of 78 Eighteenth Street: contusions of left ankle and
internal injuries; Norwegian Hospital.
Charles P. SOLOMON, 30, of 1271 Forty-first Street: contusions and abrasions.
Paula SOLOMON, 22, of 1271 Forty-first Street: contusions of body.
Mrs. Dora VAN HAUSLICK, 27, of 303 Harman Street: fractured right arm;
Norwegian Hospital.
Irma WEINSTEIN, 25, of 37 Belmont Avenue: contusions of right hip.
A sensational story to the effect that the motorman and conductor were
talking with two women on the front seat of the car when it jumped the track
and that it was because of this negligence that the accident happened was
denied in part today in a statement made by John CALDERWOOD, vice-president
and general manager of the B.R.T. CALDERWOOD admits the motorman and
conductor were engaged in conversation with a woman, but he said it was a
fight over a transfer. The statement follows: "The accident was entirely due
to the negligence of the motorman. Prior to the accident the conductor went
to the front seat of the car to collect the fares of two women. One tendered
a transfer, and the conductor got into an altercation over it. The motorman,
instead of attending to his own duties, turned around and listened to the
conversation. When the curve was reached he did not have the controller
properly placed on the motor box. The conductor was in no way to blame for
the accident, and it was all due to the motorman."
10 July 1910

the cellar, a distance of fifteen feet. He managed to crawl to the street
and collapsed. Dr. LEWIS removed him to Coney Island Hospital, suffering
from lacerations of the scalp and contusions of the body.
TWO BREWERY HANDS HURT WHILE AT WORK
Within an hour of each other, accidents occurred today to two brewery
employees at Palm Garden, Bergen Beach. THe first victim was Edward OEMER,
of 81 Atlantic Street, Maspeth, who sustained fractures of the right arm and
two ribs on the right side by being kicked by a horse while hitching a team.
The other unfortunate was George Klintzwitz, of 189 Meserole Street, whose
right wrist was smashed by a beer keg falling on it.
Surgeon ELEBASH, of Kings County Hospital, attended both men and took them to
the institution.
MACHINE SEVERS BOTH ARMS; VICTIM MAY DIE

Catharine's Hospital from injuries he received while at work on a rubber
crusher in the Waterbury Rope and Wire Company at Waterbury and Ten Eyck
Streets shortly before noon today.
Both of SUNNICH's arms were amputated and he was near death from loss of
blood when Surgeon CAMPBELL arrived. Dr. CAMPBELL made two tourniquets and
staunched the flow of flood, but it is believed he arrived too late to save
the man's life.
SPEEDING AUTOIST IS FINED FIVE DOLLARS
Roland JANSON, 20 years old, of 861 1/2 Eighteenth Avenue, in the Coney
Island court today before Magistrate GEISMAR pleaded guilty to operating his
automobile more than 30 miles an hour in Twenty-second Avenue. He was fined
$5, which he paid.
BROKE KNIFE BLADE IN MAN'S SKULL
Then Torrea, Back to Wall, Threatened to Kill Policemen
IS HELD WITHOUT BAIL
Victim in Hospital in Critical Condition
As the result of an encounter with Tony TORREA, of 29 Meeker Avenue, Thomas
MALONES, 37 years old, of 128 North First Street, is today in the Eastern
District Hospital, suffering from a fracture of the skull. His condition is
critical. MALONES with his eight-year-old son was walking along Bedfored
Avenue. When they reached North First Street, opposite the Bedford Avenue
police station, the boy saw a wagon laded with watermelons. The boy asked
his father to buy him a melon, but it is said MALONES remarked the melons
were no good.
TORREA, who owned the melons, overheard the remark and picking up a piece of
one of the fruit hurled it at MALONE, but missed the mark.
MALONE threw the melon back, hitting the Italian in the face. TORREA then
ran to his wagon and got his knife. He started after MALONE and slashed him
on the head and finally succeeded in pushing the knife through his skull. In
attempting to withdraw the knife he broke the blade, leaving the point
embedded in the bone.
MALONE's cries attracted the attention of Lieut. MOONEY and Policemen BRACKEN
and YOUNG and Doorman KEATING. The "cops" started after TORREA, who ran up
North First street and backed up against a pile of brick. Brandishing the
stump of his knife, he said he would kill any one who attempted to touch him.
He was finally overpowered and disarmed.
TORREA was taken before Magistrate HIGGINBOTHAM in Bedford Avenue court and
on a charge of felonious assault was held without bail to await the result of
MALONE's injuries.(MALONE spelled two ways in article - with and without a final "S")
HEARTBROKEN OVER PET DOG'S DEMISE
Pretty Daisy Dies After Dancing; Mr. and Mrs. WOODRUFF are Inconsolable
WILL HAVE FINE FUNERAL
Petted by Childless Couple and Was Fond of Dolls
Neighbors could not console Mr. and Mrs. George A. WOODRUFF, of 264 Fifth
Avenue today. Their eyes were red from weeping because of the death last
night of their pretty Spitz dog, Daisy, which for twelve years has been the
constant companion of Mrs. WOODRUFF. The white-haired animal filled the void
in the home occasioned by the absence of children, and from the time Daisy
was six months old she was showered with every mark of affection.
The dog played with dolls during a good part of the day. Daisy also had a
Christmas tree in her honor every year and a box of toys of every description
that would have gladdened the eye of many a youngster.
Daisy was seized with a fit of distemper last evening when dancing in the
parlor, while her mistress played the piano. The dog likes "ragtime," and
pranced around in a manner that would have won the cake at any "walk" until
she fell, breathing heavily. The horror-stricken Mrs. WOODRUFF picked the
pet up, finding its rear legs paralyzed. In a half hour the dog had died.
The blow made the woman ill all night.
Tomorrow the animal will be buried in style in the dog cemetery in Hartsdale,
NY. A special white casket was prepared today by Undertaker Edward J.
RENUEARD, of 422 Fifth Avenue, for the occasion.
The spitz was lying today on a specially prepared bier. Nearby was the
biggest doll with which it had been favored.
"Nobody could touch that doll when the dog was near," explained Mrs.
WOODRUFF. "She took as good care of it as a child would."
Mrs. WOODRUFF brought out a big box in which were found a small Teddy bear, a
rabbit, a rattle and other toys. She said Daisy played with them with glee,
and other persons in the room told many stories about the funny incidents in
which she had figured.
"The dog loved the piano," continued Mrs. WOODRUFF. "She sat by me no matter
how long I played. Daisy was especially fond of lively music, and danced divinely."
The dog did not play with the children in the neighborhood and never
associated with other dogs. Mrs. WOODRUFF said she doubted if Daisy had even
seen another canine in the last five years. Daisy went down to the yard
several times a week, but was unable to climb the stairs because of advancing age.
Daisy posed for a number of pictures. Dog lovers pronounced her an unusually
handsome specimen of her breed.
Hard-boiled eggs formed the principal diet of Daisy. When she heard
"e-double g" pronounced she pricked up her ears at once, and Mr. WOODRUFF had
to make good.
"Daisy never ate on the floor. She had a seat at the table, and her meat was
especially cut for her. It had to be real tenderloin, too," said Mrs. WOODRUFF.
FALL RESULTS IN BRAIN CONCUSSION
Bernard HOGAN, 28 years old, of 204 Sanford Street, fell from a Lorimer
street car at Nostrand and Flushing Avenues, last night and sustained scalp
wounds and concussion of the brain. He was attended by an ambulance surgeon
and left for home.
11 July 1910
ACCIDENTS TOGETHER, FEW BLOCKS APART, KEEP PHYSICIAN BUSY
Two accidents occurred in Bridge Street within a few blocks of each other at
the same time last night. Four-year-old Julius FREEDMAN, of 194 Bridge
Street, while playing in front of his home was struck by an automobile owned
and driven by Charles MASHANSK, of 500 Sixth Avenue, Manhattan. The injuries
the boy sustained were slight and his father who carried him to the house
refused medical aid.
A few blocks away another crowd had gathered around Andrew HALLMAN, 37 years
old, of 443 Bridge Street, who in attempting to board a Vanderbilt Avenue car
at Concord and Bridge Streets, was thrown. He, too, refused medical aid.

Ambulance Surgeon ELKINS took him to the Norwegian Hospital where it was
found he sustained a fracture of the left arm and internal injuries.
GREENWOOD TRIED TO SELL THE SHIP
Samuel GREENWOOD, 53 years old, who, upon his arrest yesterday afternoon,
declared himself without a home, will today appear in Adams Street police
court on a charge of grand larceny. The complaintant is WIlliam MONTGOMERY,
of 2961 West Twenty-third Street. Learning GREENWOOD was without sleeping
quarters, MONTGOMERY said he granted him permission to use for the purpose
his sloop, the Sapho, which he was accustomed to moor at Bay Fiftieth Street.
His kindness suffered a severe jolt last Wednesday, however, when he
discovered GREENWOOD and the boat had disappeared.
A report of the matter led Detectives BRIERTON and FARRELL to Tottenville,
S.I., where they found GREENWOOD at the point of consumating the sale of his
marine abode.
GREEPOINT MAN ATTACKED AND STABBED
Unprovoked Assault on POST, in Saloon, by SHEEHAN, Looking for Trouble
COBBLER'S KNIFE USED ON PROSTRATE VICTIM
Six Ugly Gashes Inflicted About His Head
William POST, of 169 Greenpoint Avenue, who was not looking for trouble last
night, was the unfortunate victim of plenty of it. He was cut and terribly
hacked about the head with a shemaker's knife while he was stopping in the
saloon of William WEINGARTEN, at 184 Greenpoint Avenue, for a glass of beer.
He is lying in his home in a serious condition an Thos. SHEEHAN, 24 years
old, of 134 Guernsey Street, the man he accuses as his assailant, is awaiting
court examination this morning in a cell in the Greenpoint police station.
The stabbing affray, which caused intense excitement in the neighborhood of
WEINGARTEN's saloon last night, was altogether a one-sided affair, if POST's
story may be believed. WHile awaiting the arrival of an ambulance in the
Greenpoint station POST related the circumstances of the assault as he says
it occurred. In an entirely docile frame of mind, he said, he was standing
near the door of the saloon when SHeehan, whom he knew slightly and had never
had any differences with, entered.
"Are you looking for trouble?" was the threatening question SHEEHAN is
reported by POST as having opened the conversation with. Of course POST was
completely taken aback by being singled out for a query of such a leading
nature. He replied he was not and tried to pay no more attention to the
interrogator.
But the belligerent SHEEHAN must needs force his company where no
encouragement was given, continued POST to the Greenpoint police. He struck
the inoffensive POST with his clenched fist, sending him crashing through the
plate glass window. POST declared that while he was lying on the floor in a
semi-conscious condition his assailant ran to a shoe repair shop at 180
Greenpoint Avenue, snatched up a shoemaker's knife and was back in the saloon
in less than a minute.
The knife was used with substantial results on six places on POST's head
before anyone could interfere. Three men attempted to drag SHEEHAN away.
They held him a moment until he broke away and was again wielding a bloody

HER HUSBAND WED ANOTHER, SHE BELIEVES
Mrs. SWIFT Thinks "Arthur BROWN," Who Married Brooklyn Girl, Is Her Mate
PICTURE ON FRIEND'S DRESSER GAVE A CLUE
Police Now Seek Him On Honeymoon Down South
Claiming that "Arthur BROWN," who married Miss Alice DERWERT, of Pierrepont
Street, on May 10 last, is her husband, Mrs. Alice B. SWIFT, of 221 East
Eighty-third Street, Manhattan, has asked Capt. Leonard MARTY, of the North
Bergen police, to make a rigid investigation of the alleged bigamy and try to
locate her husband.
She says if she finds he has committed bigamy she will prosecute him, as he
has deserted her and her two children. She told the police at present she
believes her husband is at Norfolk, Va., and from what she can learn the
Brooklyn woman is with him.
The woman told the captain she accidently learned of the alleged bigamy.
While visiting a friend in Manhattan she noticed a picture of her husband and
a good-looking blonde woman on her dresser. She inquired who the man was and
the woman told her it was a picture of her dearest chum and her husband. She
was told the marriage was the result of an automobile ride, and the couple
had been married by Justice of the Peace MEDINA at North Bergen.
Mrs. SWIFT immediately went to the office of Justice MEDINA and searched in
the records for the marriage. She found that Arthur BROWN and Miss Alice
DERWERT had been married by the Justice on May 16 last. She then went to the
home of the parents of the DERWERT woman in Brooklyn, and there saw another
picture of her husband She says she was informed the man had married Miss
DERWERT and they had gone South on a business trip and honeymoon.
Mrs. SWIFT returned to her Manhattan home and yesterday she went again to
North Bergen and consulted Capt. MARTY, and he has promised to aid her in the
search for her husband. Mrs. SWIFT says she and SWIFT were married in July
of 1907, after she had graduated from Vassar College, and while her parents
were in Europe.
She and her husband went to live in Newark and when her parents returned from
abroad she told them of her marriage. Her husband then had a good position
in Newark. Some time ago they moved to Manhattan and then it was her husband
began to absent himself from home occasionally. He always pleaded that
business kept him away and she says she believed him, until he finally left
her entirely, she claims. She now has two children, and she says her parents
have been supporting herself and her two children since her husband left her.
Capt. MARTY will communicate with the police in Norfolk in the hope of
getting some trace of the woman's husband. If the man who was married under
the name of "Arthur BROWN" is proved to be her husband, Mrs. SWIFT says she
will cause his arrest and prosecute him for bigamy.
