to Judge

Brought face to face with a crippled
seamstress from whom she is said to
have taken her scanty savings by
means of an alleged forgery, Lillian
Haussel burst into tears, yesterday
morning i'm Justice Austin's court.
Soberly clad in gray, her glasses Civ
ing her face the air of pretty school
teacher, Miss Hausse sat impassvely
during her preliminary examination
on charge Of forgery.
But when Mrs. Eta Miner one arm
In bandage, went on the stand and
told how her scanty savings had been
stolen at time she needed medical
treatment. Miss Haussel looked at her
former friend with a pleading for for
giVeness i'm her eyes When she saw
Mrs. Miner turn her head away, she
broke into a violent fit of weeping.
According to the story of Detectives
Hawley and Mckenzie. the young girl
charged with a serious crime became
acquainted with Mrs. Miner at the lat
ter's home, 54S Ruth avenue.
At the time the Haussel woman was
living with Frederick Dickerman as
his Wife and the two secured lodgings
at the same apartment house, where
Mrs Miner was eking out a scanty ex-
istence as seamstress. Posing as the
older woman's friend. Mrs Dlcker-
man. offered to nurse Mrs. Miner, who
was suffering from a broken arm and
incapacitated from work.
Tells Story of Theft
The detectives say Miss Haussel
found Mrs. Miners bank book one day
and after initiating her signature went
to the Security Savings bank and drew
out $50. representing the savings of
months.
Although Mrs. Miner soon discovered
the loss of the bank book, she was
comforted by Miss Haussel, who told
her not TO worry as no one else could
draw out the money.
Il did not worry much" said Mrs.
Miner on the witness stand, because
this lady whom / knew as Mrs Dieker
man assured me no one else could get
my savings.

to comfort me. | was greatly IN need

NEWS OF GENERAL INTEREST
FROM THE NATIONS METROPOLIS

Special Correspondence of The Herald.
NEW YORK, June 4.-Richard Can
field gambler, has purchased for $50, 900
the handsome residence opposite the
Hotel St. Regis and one door removed
from the town house of e. H. Harri-
man. When the news became known
in the fashionable neiShborhood last
night there was deep, outspoken anger
and concern. Mr.. Garfield himself is
expected to live there and he is not
eligible for entry into the four hun
dred, although he has a wide ac-
quaintance in it.
The sale to the gambler was eff
fected through the agency of a realty
broker of the name of Kemp, and it
was said that he was acting for John
ID. Rockefeller, who is understood to
have been the owner of the property
This invasion of the noted gambler
into the exclusive neigh borhood gives
him as prospective neighbors such peo-
pie as the Harrimans, DIR. and Mrs w.
f. Chappell, Mrs. Horace S. Ely, Mr..
and Mrs. T. b. Twombley, Mr.. and Mrs.

Harlem's Chariot Race
Fame has at last crowned the
dreams of Harlem's little Italy. 1t has
had chariot race and it's people have
given themselves up to great rejoicing.
The race took place yesterday and, al
though unexpectedly, it will become
historical. The chariots used were
dump carts There were two of them.
one was driven by a sunny son of
Italy and II was loaded with brick The
driver had Just dumped his load of
brlck when cop came along and or
dered him to reload the "shamrocks. {"
''Ah, skid-a-doo," was the dago's re-
tort, as he whipped up his horse and
drove on. There was another cart near
by and into this the policeman sprang
and whipped up the horse. The chariot
race was on. Almost Immediately the
streets became alive with wildly en-
thusiastic humanity. Cheer after cheer
went up as the Italian leaned far over
the front of his cart, yelling to his nag
to move his legs "A little faster But the
cop, who was gaining on his rival at
every step, took things easy, like
knight of old, yet holding a loose rein
to let his steed make the best time it
could and win the race. And so through
Little ltalys arena the chariots
thumped and jumped with hundreds
Yelling themselves hoarse for the love
Of 1t. At last the great dare devil, soul

collins just large enough for a bird are
kept in stock also quantities of pale

Coroners Want Autos
Death apparently does not travel fast
enough to suit the board of coroners,
or possibly they want to increase busi-

awful secret has leaked out of the
coroner's office: They all want autos
That's all Just one little, stingy 90

cannonbaII Dances in Air

One of the most ingenious and mysti
flying inventions which has recently
aroused the curiosity of New York is
TO be seen in the great two-sided show
window at the extreme north of the
Flatiron building. 1t consists of a
round, shell like ball of a reddish gray
color, about eight inches in diameter
and suspended in the air. Two feet
below is a miniature wooden cannon.
AS far as the eye can make out the
ball is supported by nothing save the
air. No threads are anywhere visible,
but the sphere dances nimbly about in
space not more than a cubic foot.
Across the mouth of the cannon
stretches tiny wire, which, upon close
inspection, is seen to vibrate at inter-
walls. There is also a heavy insulated
wire running under the cannon, whose
base is concealed with pillows and
merchandise. Some one suggested that
an alternating air current and electro
magnet are made use of in producing
the strange effect. 1t is needless to add
that the affair makes a bully adver-

MANY ANGLERS
DISAPPOINTED
Muddy Waters Make Fishing
Bad in All Sections on
Opening Day of Season

The trout season was formally opened
yesterday. but the heart of the average
angler who went out In search of the
elusive rainbow beat rather with sorrow
than joy, for the conditions that attended
the ushering in of the sport were any
thing but satisfactory. The streams were
found muddy. as was expected after the
recent rains.
The best work OF the day was done by
three men who whipped a small stream
near Tocaloma. They managed to land
lis among them, but to do this they had
to work hard
Charles Breidenstein. Joe Dober and
Sam Wells whipped the Papermill from
JEWELS station to Tocaloma, and by dint
of perseverance, they hooked twenty fair
sized ones.
George Walker and William Kennedy
spent the day working the stream in the
vicinity Of Camp Taylor. Their labors
netted them about two dozen each. These.
like the general run of the trout taken.
were small.
As usual an army of fishermen made
the trip to Papermill Creek. as is their
custom on opening day. The sport Will
improve within the next few weeks as
the water clears There are indications
OF the stream being well stocked with
fish, which will be pleasing news to the
men who remained at home, knowing
conditions to be unfavorable at present.

GREAT DISCORD
IN FIGHT TRUST
Combination Will Likely
Be Broken at Meeting of
Magnates This Evening

The fight trust seems to be in the final
stages of its brief existence and the men
who claims knowledge of affairs pugiiistic
say the big four will proceed in different
directions after the session this evening.
This session is liable to be productive of
a fistic as well as a wordy row il things
progress at the lively pace in which they
have been going for the last few days.
Jimmy Coffroth contends that Graney
wants the best of the date arrangements
in his proposition to split up the differ
ent months, and II was therefore the for
mer's proposition to shake dice to see
how the tangle should be Strengthened
out. This did not appeal to Graney's finer
instincts no more than 1t did to the d.
rectors of the Mechanics Institute when
Coffroth offered to go them one flop out
of the box or toss of the coin to settle
a question of the rent of the pavilion.
In the meantime, Graney takes the
whole. matter as a joke and spends his
idle moments In kidding certain other
members of the trust. He thinks it is all
a farce and believes an ordinary street
urchin is capable of running a big fight
provided the permit is supplied him.
Willis Britt has cut out the talking and
now speaks through the medium of a
check book only. Willis pays the grocer,
the cigar dealer and the milkman with
his check He says the noise of rafting
coin CRATES on his nerves and spoils the
taste of his perfecto.
Morris Levy is too busy trying to break
into the City of the Angels to bother
about affairs here. He forgot he was a
member of the trust until some one tried
to hang him up for ticket to the
amateur fights. Morris then woke up.
Coffroth wants TO have an open session
this evening and invites all the newspaper
men to be present to see the fun The
others have not as yet consented to this
arrangement, so it may be another one OF
thosesstar- chamber conferences that have
been so numerous during the brief but
stormy career OF the far-famed flstic COM
bination.
Al Kaufman has changed his mind
about fighting Sam Berger and writes
from Los Angeles that he would Iike to
swap wallops with the former winged
"O' gladiator. AL says Berger induced
him to write a letter some months %
saying they were such good friends q
fight would be impossible Kaufmann
adds he thought Berger was going to re-
tire then, but seeing Sam wants tn ret
on with O'Brien. Kaufman comes ont
with bold challenge.
Kaufman went to Los Angeles tn
fight Burns, but the latter backed out
Kaufman says he will fight Berger, win
ner to take all or split the purse.
