Anything Wrong with the sons long
Island Brick Company Accountable has
Been in East New York on Dusiness.
Ex-Governor Waller came to New York last
night by the IL o'clock train and reached the
Gisev House at just midnight He met his
son Martin b, at the Grand Contra, station and
the latter took the midnight train for New
London with his brother Tracy.
Martin u. Waller is the Secrstary and Trea-
surer Of the Long Island Brick Company Of
Greenport. and 1t was reported in yester-
days newspapers that he had disappeared
fiom Greenport three weeks ago, that nothing
was known OF his Whereabouts. that an ex-
pert accountant was going over tho books. and
that there were reports that deficiency had
been discovered.
Ex-Gov. Waller had n long talk with Martin
at the Grand Central Station before going to
his hotcl. lilo said afterwards
As soon as my son awoke this morning and
found himself famous he teleEraphed home
denying tho sensational story absolutely.
There is not word OF truth in
1t. The most serious harm the
publication effected was in tho mention OF tho
daughter Of President Sage. an Intelligent and
sensitive young lady. who ought not to have
been made to suffer"
Earlier in the day Mr.. Wallor said ut New
London:
-! am very much mortified that such cruel
and ridiculous story should have obtained cir
culntion. and especially SO since my sons APP
paren tly inexcusable carelessness has probably
been the cause Of It.. lie has been absent for

but not SO long Us is stated. In four weeks he
has wired the company four times, and on
Saturday evening he sent from Eas, New York
telegram announcing that he would be at the
office OF the company on Tuesday. My son
Martin Is not dcfaulter for n cent. and the
suggestion that there l. n woman in the case
Is altogether sensational. But OF this feature OF
the story do not care t. talk 1.-THE boy is like
his father he may be susceptible, but he is not

IS THE INCENDIARY 4 WOMAys

Portions of Voman's Clothing Found AZ.
ter some OF tho Recent Fires IN Flushing.
FLUSHING. July 19.-It is believed that the
fncendiary who has started so many fires in
Flushing recently is a woman. Tho 6remeA
and others have come to this conclusion from
the fact that at two OF the recent incendiary
fires articles of feminine wearing apparel. not
recognized as belonging to any one on the
premises, were found.
The incendiary man or woman, appears to
have u particular spite against Mrs. Van Der.
gan, who resides at the Smart homestead. ono
OF the finest places in the town. Within tho
last three years the stables on the premises
have been burned three times. The most dc.
structive fire of the three was that Of last
large quantity Of valuable antique furniture
and many valuable books were destroyed.
The FIRE was started In the rear Of the building
with shnvings and chips that had been we'll
saturated with oil and packe cd under the base
board. A box OF matches and piece OF tarred
string had been used to ignite the combus-
tihles.
There were three alarms Of fire on Thursday
night. Only one Of the fires caused serious loss.
it destroyed {. K. Williams's stable and two
horses. In these cases the same materials had
been used rs In the Van Bergan fire and tho
same means to ignite them.
There were also fires in Two stables on FSllRy
night. They did little damage.
