Patrolman Valtrlan J.

O'Farrell of the Wast 81-xty-elghth street station and formerly a detective In ths Detective Bureau, was before Third Deputy Commissioner John J. Walsh today accused of accepting $1,000 from Isaao A. Silverman, a former detective. The money was alleged to have changed hands while O'Farrell was assigned to deteotlve duty during ths cloakmakers strike In August, 1910. O'Farrell was defended by Philip A.

Brennan of Brooklyn. Tbe first witness was Silverman. He said that bs lived at 186 Bay Thirty-first street, Brooklyn, and bad a private detective agency at 149 Broadway, Manhattan. He said tbat ha was employed by the Manufacturers Association during ths cloakmakers strike; that be called at Police Headquarters to interview Inspector Russell, wbo was In charge of the Detective Bureau at that time; tbat bare he met Detectives O'Farrell, Kinsella and Duggan; later he met them at the Hoffman House, which was ths headquarters of the Manufacturers Association. A few weeks after the strike, according to Silverman, O'Farrell called at his office, and said tbat bs was about to be married and tbat he was short of funds.

He said that $300 would about fix blm up, and asked, Silverman said, for that amount. Silverman testified that O'Farrell offered 50 shares, worth $10 each, in the Human Life Publishing Company of Boston. He offered these shares as collateral, and, Silverman said, be gave blm the money. A few months later, according to Silverman, O'Farrell called again at his office. He said that be bad been to the coast, and was again in need of money, now that he was home.

He offered B0 more shares in the Boston company, and Silverman gave him $600 more. Later, Silverman said, he learned that the company had failed. On cross examination Silverman stated that O'Farrell had told him that if the stock depreciated in value, he would make good. Silverman said that he notified O'Farrell that the company had failed, and O'Farrell, he said, promised to make good within a year. CUPID INVADES A LAUNDRY Shoots Darts Right and and Three Marriages One Week Result.

Left, in (Special to The Eagle.) Patchogue, L. August 18 Not all summer love matches are made on the beach nor on the piazzas of summer hotels, for Patchogue has quite an unusual little prank of Master Cupid to let the world know about. Master Cupid took as his field of action the hot, stuffy steam laundry of William B. Sinn, in West Main street, and as a result of his activity three couples employed in the place havo knelt at the altar of St. Francis de Sales Church, while the Very Rev.

James J. Cronin performed the marriage ceremony. All three couples have been married within the past week. And the strangest part of the whole proceeding is that the parties interested hadTiot met before entering the laundry at the beginning of the summer. The first couple to announce their engagement a few days ago were Henry Kammerer, aged 22, and Catherine Mu-llck, 24.

A few days later Albert Mar-ceau, 22, and May Tafe, 22, came out with their secret, and then Mrs. Theresj White, a widow, aged 30, and Patrick Mc-Kenna, 38, followed suit. McKenna was a bachelor and won his bride after a three weeks acquaintance. All of the couples were employed In a small outbuilding that was erected near the laundry proper to facilitate the handling of the summer trade. In view cf the three courtships that havo taken place therein the little building haB been named the Cupid bungalow.

There are now sixteen employes in the laundry and only two the proprietor and a driver of one of the wagons now remain single. FR. GRESSER'S ANNIVERSARY. Hollis Pastor to Celebrate With Field Day at Jamaica Track. The Rev.

John S. Gresser, rector of St. Gerard's church, at Hollis, will signalize his fifth anniversary as pastor with a monster athletic carnival at the Jamaica Racetrack tqmorrow afternoon. Father Gresser formerly served as assistant rector of St. Peter's Church, in Brooklyn, and during his stay at Hollis has accumulated property of the value of $25,000, on which there is a small incumbrance.

It Is for the purpose of liquidating this debt that the field day was projected, and It Is expected that fully $2,000 will be realized from the undertaking. Captain Matthew P. Halpln of the New York Athletio Club has arranged a programme of events that has attracted a world's champion and four national champions as contestants. Martin J. Sheridan will endeavor to establish a new world's record with the discus, and it is expected that other records will be broken.

Fielding, Grumpelt, Bowne, Klages, Kivlat, Ellur, Archer, Edgren and ADdy Sheridan will also compete, with 200 other contestants. The mile event will be one of tbp most spectacular races of the season. There will be a band concert in the evening by St. Vincent's Home Band of Brooklyn, a baseball game between Jamaica and Hollis teams for the- local championship, and a mammoth euchre and reception in the spacious clubhouse at tha racotrack In the evening. BOY SWIMMER LOST HIS LIFE.

Knocked Senseless, by Another Boy Who Collided With Him in River. As Edward Maboney, 17 years old, of 213 Berry street, was swimming under water, after taking a dive Into the East River 'from a jetty at the foot of North First street, Williamsburg, today, he was struck by another diver, "Petty" Green of 31 Metropolitan avenue, and never came up. The police of the Bedford avenue station were searching for his body with grappling hooks th'is noon. Mahoney had taken a long dive into the wj.fer aod did not come to the snrfa DF Italian Mother Left Her Three Tiny Girls on Sidewalk and Went Away. FATHER IS A CORNET PLAYER.

He Went to Oyster Bay and the Wife Took Advantage of His Absence to Flee. Three pretty, dark-eyed Whose ages ranged from 2 little girls to 4 years. were abandoned by their mother yesterday on Navy street. They were Fllo mena, Guiseppena and Cora Pellegrlno Fllomena was the eldest and tried to be a little mother to her sisters. They had had a pretty fine day, for nobody had bothered them much and thsy played on ths sidewalk without the slightest Idea that they had been cast away.

And no in the neighborhood paid any at tention to them, lor Navy street has a Multitude of children. But about 8 o'clock ths parents began to corral their flocka and soon the street was deserted of the children all excepting Fllomena and Guiseppena and Cora. When they realized that tbey had no home, and as the loneliness grew on them, nd as the night advanced, they wept. That attracted the attention ot Mrs. Ansa Vlvio ot 88 Tillary street, who had tent her own little ones to slumberland, t.cd she questioned them.

Fllomena was the only on of ths three Who could give anything like a oobersnt explanation. She said that "Madra" had gone away, after she had kissed them and tola tnem to be good bambiua, and had given each of them a cent. "I'll never see you again," she had told Fllomena. But the little ones did not know what sne meant and kept their cents, ciuicneu firmly In grimy hands, and were reasonably happy, until the other children began to be put to bed. They were hungry, of course, and Fllomena asked for something to eat.

and it Came out that ths little trio had been without food all day. Slgnora Vivo made the hunger part right at once, for she took the three into her rooms, and like a good mother, gave them food. The three were also shockingly dirty and were barefoot, so Mrs. Vivo washed them, but she could not sheltor them, and, anyway, she thought it was clearly a case for the police. So Patrolman Charles Hoffman, who is over 6 feet, picked up Giuseppena In one arm and Cora in the other, and with the refreshed Giuseppena holding the seam of his trousers, he proceaea iu the Adams street station.

1 hey were soon afterward bundled off to the shelter of the Brooklyn Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, where they were put to bed. The police investigated and found that they were the children of Mrs. Anna Pellegrlno, who is only 24 years old, and who lived at 234 Tillary street. Her husband a cornet player and is employed in a hotel at Oyster Bay. He was home two days ago, and gave his wife some money.

She had been longing for a trip to her home, and told the neighbors that she felt that she must go back to Italy. The children were evidently the impedimenta which kept her back, and so she decided to abandon them. The police went to the woman's room and found little of value there. It was plain that the mother had gone away, and had taken oil of her clothing. There was only a stove, two beds and a table in the rooms.

Chief Justice Russell sat in the Children's Court this morning and formally held the waifs as vagrants for the present. The police will communicate with the father, if they can find him, and an effort is being made to trace the mother.

Boston, August 18 Another day of complete rest was planned today for Admiral Count Togo, who suffered yesterday from an attack of acute Indigestion. Although greatlv refreshed by a good night's sleep, it was thought best for the Admiral to postpone all of the events on his schedule for today until tomorrow.

Accordingly, he remained In his suite at ths Hotel Touralne. Admiral Togo planned to leave Boston this aflernoon for Niagara Falls, but this portion of his trip has been postponed until tomorrow afternoon. After a very restful night's sleep. Admiral Togo arose early and said that he was feeling much better. He ate a hearty breakfast with a relish.

He thought, however, that It would be for his own good to rest today. Tonight the Admiral Intends to enjoy au automobile trip through the suburbs of Boston and get a breath of fresh New lingluml air. Dr. Takami, a Japanese physician of Brooklyn, examined Admiral Togo this forenoon and said that the Admiral was simply suffering from fatigue and required another day'B rest. The physician said that the aged warrior's condition otherwise was satisfactory.

Dr. Takami arrived here with Mr. Mat-sukato of New York, a personal friend of tho Admiral. Matsukato read of Admiral Togo's lllnees In the papers yesterday and brought the Japanese physician here on his own Initiative. Captain Templln M.

URGED TO FIGHT CHARTER Kracke and Livingston Meet Barnes Charter May Be Campaign Issue. Naval Officer F. J.

H. Kracke and Commissioner of Jurors Jacob Livingston had a long talk with Republican State Chairman William Barnes, at Republican state headquarters, yesterday. The fact that they were together gave rise to reports that they were fixing snje working agreement between the new "progressive" element, now In charge ot Republican affairs in Kings County, and tho Btale organization. On good authority, however, It Is known that very little time was devoted to Kings County affairs In the talk, In so far as related to the recent reorganization, which is recognized on all sides as an accomplished fact. Mr.

Kracke stated today that be had brought up the mattor of tho proposed new charter for New York City to Mr. Barnes' attention, and had asked for his co-operation to the end that all the Republican members of the Legislature should vote together against it at the session to begin September 0. Mr. Kraekc pointed out the advantage to tho Republicans of opposing the charter, which it. is expected will be one of the Issues In the coming campaign.

Mr. Barnes will probably take tho matter up with other state leaders to get their views. There was some discussion cif the com ing campaign for Assembly, and It was agreed that the prospects for a itepun-lican majority In the lower house next year are very promising. Tho effect of the Levy amendments to the Election Law were taken up, and it is likely that tne Republicans will tight the provisions of the new law on the ground of unconstitutionality, at every opportunity throughout the state. This morning Mr.

Kracke, Mr. Livingston, Lewis M. Swnsey, Marcus Campbell and other district leaders, met and discussed policies at the Kings County head quarters in the Temple Bar Building.

Drank Wood Alcohol Had Been In Country Only Six Months. 1 Ada Cranston. 20 years old, a maid In the household of the Rev. A. G.

rector of Christ Protestant Ep.icopal Church, at Riverdale aveuue nad 852d street, the Bronx, attempted to talis hr life this morning by swallowing a quaa- I tlty of wood alcohol. The girl had been In country only six months, having come here from Ireland. For the last r.u nrcordllie to Mr. rhrqtun.nn 1 she had appcarel despondent, and later in the hospital the girl said that she was homesick and that If she could not go back to the old country she wanted to TO TflFT VETO Striving in the House to Reverse the Fate of Wool Bill. THREE-HOUR DEBATE IS ON.

Session Likely to End Quickly No Hope for Tariff Legis-ia tion. Eagle Bureau, 60S Fourteenth Street. Washington, August 18 At 12:20 o'clock this afternoon tho House began a three-hours debate on the President's veto of the wool bill, and at tho end of which time tbe Democrats will attempt to muster a two-thirds vote to override It. They are not Bure of their ability to turn the trick. Neither are ths Republicans sure that they will be able to head off their opponents.

Absentees on both Bides and tho attitude of some of the Republican Insurgents taake the Issue uncertain. If all tbe thirty of the Insurgents, who voted for the conference report on wool, vote to override, the Democrats will probably be able to do It. Some of these Insurgents, however, may withdraw when nt comes to a vote and vote with the regular Republicans. Tho work of party whips on both sides of the House was apparent when that body met at noon. Mors seats were filled than any time since the opening day of the session.

The Republicans bad a formidable showing of members, but they wera unable to estimate ith accuraof the extent of ths Insurgent defection. There are some absentees on the Democrats aide, notably a few New York men. Whether they will show up in time for tbe vote this afternoon Is uncertain. At least two or three of them are not expected. They are free-wool men who look with disfavor upon the makeshift bill which finally got through both Houses.

It will require two-thirds of all the members voting to override the President's veto, two-thirds of the entire membership. Many pairs will be probably be broken today. In pairing on the Issue the Republicans demand two Democrats for one Republican, which la tho usual custom. Underwood Played for Time to Get Votes Together. There was a oud murmur on the Republican side when Mr.

Underwood, the Democratic leader, asked for three hours' debate. Some of the Republicans wanted to vote right away. It was taken as a sign that Underwood did not have all his votes on hand and wanted three hours delay In which to get some of tho absentees here. If the attempt to override the President's veto fails, the end of tho Bcsslon is likely to come quickly, probably by Saturday night or Sunday. It Is not believed to be fur off, anyhow.

Since the bottom dropped out of tho Democratlo-Insurgent combine In the Senate the futility of trying to enact any tariff legislation has been made more apparent. While the House may decide to accept all the Senate amendments to tho cotton bill, thore Is nevertheless Btrong opposition on the Democratic sldo to allowing the Senate to originate schedules. The House vote today will be a big factor In future developments. There Is Borne talk that many of the House Insurgents may attempt to avenge tho treatment of their follow-Insurgents in the Senate by refusing to vote against the veto, although Norris of Nebraska is authority for the statement that prac-ticnlly all of them will stick by their previous votes. The Seuato Insurgents are sore-headed today and are muttering throats about keeping Congress here as long as they choose.

They cannot, however, see much profit In It beyond revenge for Its spanking. At least two of tho New York Democrats who are absent in the House today are not paired and if they do not appear this afternoon their votes will be a net, loss to the Democrats. One of the Republican leaders said this afternoon that 12 votes on their side would be siilflclent to prevent the veto being over-ridden. He said the Republicans had 12(i sure, and that there were seven doubled. Lenroot.

nn Insurgent, indicated In his speech today that some of his fellow Insurgents had flopped 011 the proposition and would vote with tho Regulars. TIMBY'S CLAIMS DENIED Navy Department Tells Why Ship Wa3 not Sent for Brook-lyn Man's Remains. Washington, August IS In support ot the Navy Department's contention that a warship should not be used to transport the body of Theodore R. Timby from Brooklyn to Washington, Acting Secretary Winthrop has sent to the House v.v.l Committee a eonv of the findings of the Court of Claims In 1907, which declare that the revolving turret used by the Navy was not the Invention of Tlmby. Congress was asked to authorize the use of tho warship to transport his body on the ground tht Timby Invented tue turret.

Tim flndincs wete announced In connec tion with a bill Introduced in Congress, claiming compensation for the use of Timby's Invention by tho Government. The court's decision cave credit to neither Timby nor Captain John Ericsson, the designer of the Monitor of Civil War fame, for the Invention of the revolving turret. The decision recites that 1 nuDy filed a caveat with the Patent Office January 17, 1843, announcing that he was engaged In maturing a device which be rvatainr.tf revolving fort."

OUT POURED MANY ARMED MEN Then Came Reserves and Detectives, Ancient Auto, Editor's Property, Had Merely Broken Down. Woodhaven residents 1n the neighbor hood of Diamond and Atlantio avenues are today the laughing stock of that section of the olty on account of the easy way in which they fell for a "fake" bur glar Bcare last night.

The streets were filled with half-dressed' men armed with revolvers, and the entire police force of Ihfl Ozone Park station was called out. Then it was found tbat all the excite ment wag caused by a hallucination on ths nart of R. F. Cook ot 832 Diamond avenue. Cook was returning home at about 2 o'clock this morning, when he observed a strange, old-fashioned automobile, which looked a though It might belong to the vintage of 1892 or thereabouts, by the roadside.

In the automobile be swears saw "three seedy-looking Individuals." who Immediately made off when he appeared. Cook then awakened the good folkwg of that section with a loud cry of "Thieves." There was an Immediate response In ths shape ot numerous figures clad Id regulation night apparel and carrying pistols. Ever sines the series of burglaries thers a little over a week ago, the residents have armed themselves fully, to prepared for the worst. Ths police were Immediately notified, and shortly afterward all tbs reserves, the patrol wagon and a number of detectives cams in response to the summons. The men were soon deployed throughout Uie section to see that none of the desperadoes escaped.

Then an Investigation of ths strange looking automobile was started and the shocking discovery was made by a leading church member that tho number the machine bore was 4-11-44. That was enough. It was burglars, sure. All the rest of the night the "posso" stood guard, prepared for the worst; but morning came without a sign of the thieves being seen. Finally the weary men decided to repair to bed and leave Detectives Capons, Ennis and White to work on the case.

The deteotlvrs learned this morning that the owner of the machine was Edward Ball, the editor of a local paper named the Leader. An Interview with the editor soon cleared up the mystery. HIb two sons had started out laHt night In the machine to deliver papers and It had broken down where the late home-comer found it. The youngsters had tinkered with the machine most of the night trying to fix It, but their efforts were unsuccessful, and thoy went away Just as Cook was coming home. In the car there were left some papers which contained an account of the safe robbery at Woodhaven last week.

The excited residents lest night thought this the story of one of the former bold deeds of the robbers, which they ware saving to pass around to their friends.

the FEW MOUNTED MEN ON DUTY. Squad of 29 Horse Policemen Cut Down to 6 Narrow Escapes Occur Every Day. Complaints are heard daily among shoppers of the busy downtown district of insufficient police regulation of trafflo and protection of pedestrians In thoroughfares crowded with trolloy cars and automobiles. There have been accidents, and It Is declared that there will be more it additional police service is not afforded. One woman was killed by an automobile on Fulton street several weeks ago.

The men who are In charge of ths police service claim tbat the mandatory provisions of ths three-platoon law, which came Into being not very long ago, have robbed the administration of much ot its own way in the matter of police service. But, as a matter of fact, it is admitted tbat trafflo conditions might be better regulated II Commissioner Waldo had not stripped the local trafflo squad of its mounted force. There used to be twenty-ulne mounted patrolmen trained in trafflo service In Brooklyn, with three sergeants to keep them on duty. Now there are six, and one sergeant. The six have to perform their duty under the three-platoon system, and but two of them are on duty at a time.

The mounted men's posts are on Flushing avenue, from Navy street to Broadway, and on B'ourth avenue. In the neighborhood of the Flat bush avenue station of the Long Island Railroad. Under the old conditions, before the horse policemen were scattered, there were men on Broadway, on Fulton street, on Livingston street and on Court street to look for the safety of pedestrians. Drivers of horses and automobiles were kept under control, and the result was tbat street accidents were reduced to a minimum. There is practically no police protection from ths traffic service on Livingston street, for there is no traffic service to speak of.

Livingston street Is a favorite thoroughfare for automobile drivers and for pedestrians as well. There is a continuous procession nf rniiv cars and private vehicles along the street. uo Birfusues or accidents occurring there were not available today, but there were tales of many hair'sbreadth escapes on the part of women shoppers. The police protection, the generally expressed opinion was. Is bad.

There are fewer now on Fulton street than there were before, and this is duo to the fact that the squad of "Trafflc has been reduced. I'mier former conditions the commanding officer of the traffic squad had men at the trolley crossings In front of the great department stores at the Fulton street entrances. The necessity for men in front of the big stores was apparent when the traffic squad was organized. A police official, with whom a reporter of The Eagle talked on the subject today, declared that many of the men of the traffic squad were on their vacations and for that reason the policemen had been taken from ths crossings In front of the big stores. "But we still have men on Fulton street, at the crossings on Smith street, Hoyt street, Bond street and Nsvlns street," said he.
