COMPLAINS or A DONDSMAN.
Police Sergeant Asks Magistrate to Make
Cohen Take Oath About His Property.

Sergt. Walling of the East Thirty fifth
street station went to the Yorkville police
court yesterday and asked Magistrate
Cornell if he would summon Benjamin
Cohen, bondsman, to court and get him
to swear to the statement he made in the
bond he had given in the station for Lily
Brown several days ago. The woman
had been arrested twice in one night for
lettering on the streets and had been bailed
out each time by Cohen, who gave as Sc
curity the stock and fixtures of the saloon at
Irving place
That mans bond is utterly worthless"
said the Magistrate, "and if he came here to
offer bond would order him out of court
Immediately. We get other worthless bonds
from the stations, but that is matter for
the police TO correct.
just then another man stepped up and
asked il he could examine COhen's bond
He said he was lawyer interested in some
litigation about TO come UP in court. He
was informed that the bond had been sent
to the District Attorneys Office

NEVER SUCH A TIDEOP TRAVEL.
RAILROADS TAXED TO HANDLE
PASSENGERS AND BAGGAGE.

SwarminE Into the City--NiagarA
Falls Ono Centre OF Attraction.
Three great tides OF travel are centring
in this city to-day and will reach their
flood tonight and tomorrow morning.
Besides the vacation home corners and the
crowds who went out Of town for the double
holiday an army Of summer folk are passing
through the city on their way from the
resorts Of New England, Long Island and
New Jersey to the Western cities.
The last-named class taxed the baggage
and passenger facilities OF the railroads
yesterday and Saturday night to the ut
most, AT the Grand Central Station more
outgoing baggagn was handled on Satur-
day than on any previous day this summer.
The crush was increased by the baggage
from such incoming steamers as the Cedric,
La Touraine, the Etruria and the st. Louis.
The Jersey Central and the Erie roads
ran all outgoing trains in double sections
on Saturday. and the travel was nearly as
heavy yesterday. Niagara Falls attracted
many holiday makers. On one section Of
a through Eric train on Saturday night
there were ll9 passengers for Niagara
"llf' oIlt Vi tIt ldte tTdlfR on IUc
New York Central added four extra coaches
for the Falls.
The Pennsylvania and Jersey Central
roads report unusually heavy travel to
the New Jersey shore this summer A
single ticket Office of one of the roads,
according to an official, took In s., 900 more
in August than in the same month in 1872.
The return rm h from the senshore will lie
felt more tonight A Jersey Central Of
fetal al the Jersey City station said yester-
day:
IF you want to watch sight worth see
ing, come over here on Monday ever ing
Every incoming train will run in two or
more sections, and all the people on the
shore try to come home on those sections
with their children and baggage"
None of the railroads anticipates any
trouble in handling the baggage tonight
and tomorrow, although they expect
that it will be larger than ever before.
The system described in THE Sun yester-
day Of running special baggage trains in
these busy days is used on the Pennsylvania
ard the Jersey Central as we'll as by the
New York Central. The Erie has provided
for the crush by sending out baggage cars
in the past week to the principal resorts
along its lines and holding them in read-
ness for to-day.

MAMIE MAACROME's PLIGHT.
Accused. With Her Mother. Of Arson: Also
OF writing Scurrilous Letters.

Mrs. Mary Malcrome and her daught er
Mamie, who are accused by Fire Marshal
Beers and Police Captain Reynolds of Brook
Ign of setting fire to their dwelling 2se
Twelfth street. on Saturday morning last
were arraigned before Magistrate Dooley
yesterday morning in the Butler street
court charged with arse n. The discovery
Of defect in the wording Of the complaint
made it necessary to postpone further pre-
ceedings for the time, and the prisoners
were sent back to the Adams street stat ion.
They had lawyer in court. but no effort
was made to secure their release on bail.
Neither woman had anything 10 say
Mrs. Malcrome, who iS whitc-haired, acted
in an unconcerned manner, but her daughter
was nervous. The Fire Marshal and Capt
Reynolds are convinced that Mamie is the
writer of the anonymous letters sent to
herself, DR. j. Francis Ward and others In
the neiRhborhood Of her home. The same
belief In her guilt is entertained by the
post Office detectives who have been en-
gagged for some time in efforts to get at the
writer OF the scurrilous letters.
Had it not been for the fire and the
womens arrest for arson they probably
would have been taken into custody shortly
by the Feedral authorities for using the
mails for an unlawful purpose. The police
have the statements ofaI unber of Brooklyn
girls, who assert that they have also re-
ceived threatening letters from Mamie.
One Of the budget of threatening letters
received by Mr., Ward followed a visit of
Mrs Macrome to his Office 14s Four zenith
street. on which occasion he YVES smoking
a pipe. In this letter he was accused of
smoking "opean pills" After the arrests
on Saturday Capt. Reynolds asked Mamie
to write opium pills." and her way of
spelling the word was as il appeared in
this letter to the physician.
The handwriting in some Of the anony-
nous letters which the Malcromes claim
to have received from enemies las been
compared with receirts for rent given
by Mamie to James r. Taggert. a press
man, who until recently occupied the base
ment Of the Twelfth street house, and they
seem to have been written by one and the
same person.
Detective Daily. who rode in the Patrol
wagon which took the two women to the
Butler street court, told Capt. REYNOLDS
that he overheard Mrs. Malrrome say to
her daughter. $50 they know ti,at You wrote
the letters. do they? If was YOU I'd go
down TO tho river and jump overheard.

DALLAS, Tex. Sept. 8.--The Fort Worth
Telegram Of to day prints the most startling
story that has ever come out Of the Beau
mont oil fields and stat e. that it's informant
is one Of the most prominent men Of Fort
Worth, who returned from Beaumont
vest erday. This man declares that the
Standard Oil Company has perpetrated
a most gigantic conspiracy in the Beau
mont fields and that well-est ablished facts
are just coming TO light
The independent oil companies Of Beau-
mont are the vict inns. Some Of the lead
ing men Of the wrecked or mi lred COM
panies recently Diet ermined TO investigate,
and in two days raised 81 900 with which
to push the work. The developments,
it Ia declared, show that the numerous oil
wells that were apparently ruined by salt
water were put in that condition by
the Standard companys conspirators. As
fast as a company went 10 the wall its
property was bough, in for the Standard.
An accident, II is said, led to the discovery
OF the scheme.
The Standard Oil Company long ago
built a pipe line from Beaumont to the
Gulf Of Mexico. Pumping stations we're
erected at both ends Oil was pumped
through to the Gulf and thence shipped
to various parts Of the world
After the pipe line had been in operation
a while many OF the wells owned by inde-
pendent companies became filed with
salt water.
The ruin Of the owners is part Of the
history OF the field, One day not long
ago one Of the pumping stations got out
Of working order and oil pumping to the
Gulf had TO be suspended while repairs
were made
Suddenly wells that had been giving out
fully one-half salt water began to produce
nothing but good fuel oil, it is declared.
That started the investigation. The in
vestigators plugged up tho pipe line one
night at the Beaumont end Then they
drove several miles into the country and
tapped the line. Salt water gushed into
the air nearly one hundred feet The
pressure was all from the gulf pumping
station, they said, and salt water was being
pumped to Beaumont and into the wells
that the Standard company conspirators
desired to wreck. There was no pressure
from the Beaumont end, because of the
plugging Of the pipe.
The informant Of the Telegram says that
force Of detectives are at work trying
to learn the identity of the well wreckers.

JUNE MCREE m HOSPITAL.
Sent to the Mad ward. but Landed With
the Alcoholic Patients-ROw Over Him.

Junie McCree, the actor. was sent early
Yesterday from St. Vincent's Hospital to
Bellevue, suffering from alcoholic de-
mentia," according to the diagnosis Of
the st. Vincent's doctors. He was entered
in the hospital records as James Mcdonald
agent, Of 257 West l1ith street, and gave
as his nearest friend his wife Isabella.
DR.. Lawson, the st. Vincent ambulance
surgeon, told Or. Gregory the Bellevue
alieniet. that for two weeks the patient
had been in the hospital under treatment
fer alcoholism. He became violent on
Saturday night, according to Dr. Lawson,
had to be strapped down and grew steadily
worse. DR.. Gregory decided that the
patient was a subject for the alcoholic
instead Of the insane ward and ordered
him sent there.
Just as McCree was being taken away
Carlton Of the Carlton sisters, q well-known
vaudeville team, arrived at the he spital
almc st frantic from worry. She had been
notified from st. Vincent's that her hus-
band was insane. She wept with Joy when
told that he would be himself again in a
few DAYS.
The ST. vincen,s surgeon left Bellevue
protesting over the disposition Of the RAJ
tient, and when he reached his own hes
pital reported the matter 10 the house
surgeon. The latter Immediately called
up DR. Gregory on the telephone and told
him what he thought Of his ability as an
alienist
-You want TO grow little, said the ST
Vincsnt's house surgeon.
We'll, you want 20 get more brains"
replied Dr.. Gregory, who is probably Of
smaller stature than any other medical
man in New York, but resents remarks
about his size.
DR.. Gregory said Yesterday afternoon
that McCrce's condition was much i'm
proved Ee was last seen here ut the

Keeping Eggs Fresh

Coleman's Rural World tells a re- markable story in the following brief report on the German method of keep ing eggs fresh:
 Tn Germany eggs are kept fresh for any length of time, by simply i'm mersing them in 10 per cent. solu- tion of silicate of soda, commonly called Liquid glass;" This produces the formation of coating which rem ders the eggs perfectly air-tight. The eggs so treated retain their fresh taste for many months. The best proof of the efficacy of this treatment has been furnished by the fact that such eggs, after having been kept for whole year, were matched and the chickens were strong and healthy. The pre- serving solution is best prepared by dissolving one pound of liquid glass in four quarts of cold water The eggs are then immersed in this solution, which should be kept in a glazed earth enware vessel, and the eggs are kept in the solution for short time. If one of these preserved eggs is to be boiled, the shell must first be per forated, in order to prevent cracking"

NINE MILLIONS FOR IRRIGATION
The Government Has Funds for One
 Million Acres

Topeka, Kan-Congressman Reeder, the ranking member of the house of irrigation committee, is in Topeka en route from the irrigation congress at Ogden. He said:
 Irrigation is the most important thing that the government now has on hand. The irrigation fund has s9, 9,000,000 on hand and that means the irrigation of a million acres in the near future. The government is experimenting with the overflow in western Kansas and eastern Colorado.
 "We want some changes in the land laws so that the public lands can be kept out of the hands of speculators. Small homesteads are what is needed. Forty acres is enough for one settler to irrigate.

 In the mutiny twenty-eight prison CTS escaped after a fierce fight with the guards, during which one guard, Waldrupe, was killed, and several of the convicts were shot. All but one of the convicts were finally captured, although three of them were shot in engagements with posses. In his in. structions to the jury, Judge Reiner said that the fact that the men were felons undergoing punishment for crime should count nothing for or against them in determining the weight of the evidence.

 LONDON.-The arbitration treaty between Great Britain and France has been signed by Foreign Secre tary Lansdowne, and the French Am bassador, M. Cambon. The text of the treaty is as follows:
 "The government of the French re- public and the government of his Brittanic Majesty, signatories off, the convention concluded at The Hague, July 29, 1899, for the peaceful settle. ment of international disputes, con. sidering that by Article 19 of that treaty the high contracting powers re- serve to themselves the right of con- cluding arguments with the view to have recourse to arbitration in all cases in which they shall consider it possible to submit thereto, have au- thorized the undersigned to agree to the following provisions:
 Article Differences of a judicial order, such as relate to the interpre- tation of treaties existing between the two contracting powers, which may arise between them, and which may not be possible to settle by means of diplomacy, shall be submitted to the permanent court of arbitration at The Hague, as provided by the convention of July 2S, 1899, on condition, how ever, that they do not involve either vital interests or the independence or honor of the two contracting states, and that they do not affect the inter- ests of third power.
 Article 2-In each particular case the high contracting parties, before addressing themselves to the perma- nent court of arbitration, shall sign special arbitration bond, setting forth clearly the subject under dis pute, the extent of the powers of the arbitrators and the details to be ob- served as regards the constitution of the arbitration tribunal and the proce- dure.
 Article 3-The present arrange ment is concluded for term of five years from the date of signing"

SENTENCES FOR LIFE
Five Leaders of Fort Leavenworth
 Mutiny Found Guilty

LEAVENWORTH, Kan.-All five leaders of the Fort Leavenworth prison
 mutiny of November, 1901, charged with killing Guard Waldrupe, were found guilty of murder by a jury in the United States court here, and will be given life sentences. The prison CTS are Gilbert Mullins, Tabor Barnes, Frank Thompson, Fred Robinson and Robert Clark, all desperate men, and all from the Indian Territory. Null lins and Robinson had practically finished their terms at the time of the outbreak, and the others were short term men.
 In their defense the prisoners made the plea that inmates of the Federal prison are badly treated, that the men who took part in the mutiny preferred to make an attempt to escape and face death rather than remain and endure torture. Attorneys for the United States introduced several witnesses to disprove the charges of improper
