call up the station. After telling, the man
at the desk that he had been stabbed and
to send the patrol wagon, Simpson sank

Roach, 70 years old, Of 2o2 Spencer street.
He was taken to the hospital, where, in q
moment OF consciousness, Simpson identi-
fed him as one Of the men who had been
with the four on the stoop. Later the
police arrested Thomas McKeon, II years
old, Of 81 Spencer street. He admitted
that he was in Sanford street at the time
OF the attack on the policeman, but denied

PEACE For M'CARREN.
Prediction of Dem 0cratic Harmony In
Brooklyn This Fail.

Brooklyn This Fail.
1t is the expectation Of most Of the Demo-
cratic district leaders In the Borough Of
Brooklyn that tho factional warfare against
the management Of Senator P. H. McCar-
rem will be called of, at least until after
the election. and that even in the Second,
Eleventh and Twelfth Assembly districts,
which are still controlled by opponents
Of McCarren, there are not likely to be
any contests at the September primaries.
Although strongly entrenched in the
leadership OF the Democratic organiza-
ton in Kings county, Senator McCarren, 40
cording to one Of his close personal friends,
stands ready to make certain concessions
to his enemies with view to securing har-
mony all along the line in the campaign
impending: With the Democratic forces
united he is confident that all the county
candidates can be elected and fine plu-
rality rolled up for the city ticket.
1t is undestood that on the return Of
Senator McCarrsn from Saratoga. in eight
or ten days, the harmony movement will
take definite shape.

Candidate for Boro ugh President.

It was announced yesterday that William
H. Prendergast. who administered an ora
torical lambasting to Governor-C Chairman
Odell while placing Timothy L. Woodruff in
nomination for Governor at the last State
convention, may be put forward this fall
as a candidate for the Republican nomina-
ton for President Of the Borough Of Brook
lyn. Mr.. Prendergast has hosts Of friends
in the borough who regard him as one Of
the strongest men who could be named
for the Office, but many Of them are Of the
opinion that Chairman Odell would find
ready means to block his political advance
ment In revenge for his bitter speech at the
Saratoga convention.
Mr.. Prendergast retired from active
politics few years ago, but he has re-en-
tered the arena and will undoubtedly
be heard from in the coming campaign
He is admittedly one Of the most brilliant
make highly picturesque campaign. He
is one Of the leading Catholic laymen in
