At the corner Of North Fulton and Prim-
rose avenue not far from the former resi-
dence Of Cornelius Alvord, Young told the
driver 70 stop. They were then almost In

WOOTEN PUT IN THE TOMBS
A LonE Time Raising 81 900 Fresh BAN
After His Indictment.


One thousand dollars bail secured on
real estate in this county or deposited in
cash was more than Lawyer John W.
Wooten had found yesterday up to o'clock
p. NJ, and he went to the Tombs. He got
out just before 10 o'clock p. NJ. his friends
having found a bondsnan and got Judge
Cowing 10 accept the bond uptown.
Wooten was indicted yesterday on the
charge he was arrested on on Monday
light, the larceny Of 81 900 entrusted 10
him TO pay the premium on the bond
given for his client, David Rothschild as
administrator Of the Weisel state, which
Rothschild looted.
First he was arraigned before Justice
Wyatt in Special Sessions, where he was
represented by Abraham S. Gilbert, law
partner Of Julius NJ. Mayer, the Attorney
General. Lawyer Gilbert secured a post
ponement Of the examination until to-day,
and the 81 900 bail given on Monday night
by Frank II. Plat was continued.
At $50 P. M. Wooten was rearrested at
1872 Nassau street, having been indicted
on the came charge. On the indictment bail
could be taken only by Justios Of Cen
eral Sessions or a Supreme Court Justice.
Wooten was apparently deserted by his
friends. The only persons that answered
his many hurry up messages were small
boys. Even lawyer Gilbert was some
where else. There was no General Sessions
Justice in the building except Recorder
Gofi, and it was not until he had adjourned
the Patterson case and retired 20 his cham
hers that Wooten got before a Judge. The
Recorder fixed bail at 81 900, but Mr.. Platt's
bond would not do because It was secured
on property In Hamilton county.
Rooten sent his group Of small BOYS
scurrying in all directions. but no bonds
man showed up. Recorder Goff went
home, and there was nothing for Detective
Reardon 10 do but to lead his prisoner
across the Bridge OF Signs. After his ar
ragnment before Justice Wyatt and just
as he was leaving the building, Wooten
made this ste tement;
my arrest Is an outrage. The charge
against me IL wholly untrue ! am under
strict legal instructions not 10 talk at this
time. / have a lot would like to say. but
am not going to use my ammunition until
permitted 10 do so by my counsel
The papers that Detective Reardon seized
at Wooten's home are still in the possession
OF Assistant District Attorney Rresel.

named ODOnnell who disappeared about
three weeks ago and was supposed to

however. was quite certain for some time
yesterday that it was the body Of his or her
son.
The three parents were: Ms. Edith DonA-
hue Of 1s5 Eleventh avenue, Mrs. Chalmers
Of 5s7 West Fifty-seoond street, and the
father Of the O'Donnell boy.
The body was found by Thomas Brennan
OF 1853 Eleventh avenue early yesterday
afternoon. Probably It had been brought
to the surface by blasting along the river
bank three llocks farther down. 1t had
been long in the riv er.
Policeman Banks tied the body to the
dock and II was there four hours, pending
the arrival of a permit from the Coroner
for its removal Meanwhile Nina Donahue,
Mrs, Chalmers and O'Donnell, notified OF
the discovery, fastened to the spot ana they

in the water in the hope that some one OF
those who knew one Of the three boys might
be able TO find some mark Of Identification.
Mrs. Donahue and Mrs. Chalmers followed
the body 10 the morEue and renewed their
efforts at Identification with no marked
SUCCESS. They were still there last night.

Both Johnny DOnahue and Willie Chal-

ever, is more positive than Mrs. Chalmers
that the drowned lad was her son. She
knew il was Johnny, she said, from his

the gloves found on his hands, She de-
clsred that she would 60 TO the Coroner

IRREGULAR" ARCHITECTS WIN.
Lamb Ticket Defeated In the League by
los Votes 20 ~.


When the result Of the Architectural
Leagues annual election Of officers was
announced last nj ght, il appeared that the
regular ticket, headsd by Richard Rowland
Hunt had four-ffths Of all the votes. The
ticket headed by Julius r. Harder and
backed by f. S. and Charles Lamb re-
ceived only twenty-seven votes; the other
ticket got los.
THAT simply means said Arnold W.
Drummer, the retiring president, that the
old policy OF the club will be continued.
That is TO say. the league will not DO an
employment agency for any person or
group Of persons; It will stand for good
art and work for the annual exhibition as
heretofore.
According 10 some members, the Harder
party, which was really the Lamb party,
sought 10 deviate from those purely artistic
aims.
President Drummer arose and oonEratu-
lated the league on the result Of the election
and thanked them for their kindness 10 him.
He also congratulated them on sticking
TO what he called the right Tolicy.
Former presidents. as, for instan ce, John
Du Fays, Russell Sturgis, II. j, Hardent ergh
and Robert W. Gibson, came TO the meeting
especially TO cast their votes for the Hunt
ticket George B. Post, A. r. McKim and
Lockwood De Forest also came.
The opposing ticket was put In the field
by petition Of twenty members. as provided
by the constitution. The twenty-seven
who voted for IL sat in little group awaiting
results. After the announcements F. s,
Lamb. the real leader Of the opposition,
became absorbed in the Scotch and sand
wches which Miss Simpson, the secretary,
released for architectural consumption
They also became absorbed In him, so elastic
is our idiom.
i have nothing to say said Mr.. Lamb.
The past policy OF the league has been
thoroughly vindioated,' said Karl Bitter,
the new vice-president.
The ticket elected is az follows: Richard
Rowland Hunt, president Karl Bitter, first
vice president; Joseph LAUDER, second VICE
president Executive committee, class OF
zoos Dom Barber, Charles W. Levitt, Jr.,
and Herman Schladermundt; class of 1907,
William NJ. Aiken; class Of 1905, j. Monroe

A dozen different appointment
states have been made up. only to

acceptable.
The threat overhanging Mayor elect
Daggett is that unless he agrees to
obey the dictates OF the tall tower

sent to the reappointment of Wey-
mouth. every appointment he sends in
will be held up.

practically the deal until the water

The reappointment of Weymouth
would mean the political ruin OF
