NEW YORK. July 26.-Accused of at

man in the factory, n has been an
intimate friend of the little girls fam
lily for years. The child was in the
custom of going TO the factory to meet
her father on his way home from work
every night. Last evening. at about 6
o'clock. she was trudging along the
road toward the factory when, 1t is
asserted, Napwyak met her. The lit
tie girl greeted him and says he picked
her up in his arms and gave her a
kiss.
The one hundred or more employees
of the factory who saw this took no
notice, as Napwyak was known to be a
friend of the family and the child a
favorite with him. According to the
story told by the child to her parents,
the man said she had missed her father,
as he Rad gone home. He said he
would walk par of the way home with
her, and the child, her little hand in
his, trotted along by the side of the
fireman, who is a veritable giant in
size.
The two turned down a side road out
of the highway where the other en-
ployees were walking and were soon
lost to sight. The child arrived home
half an hour later and incoherently re-
lated her story to her parents. The
father rushed out of the house like a
mailman to hunt for the man, but a
unable to fine lin. He aroused the
neighbors and a thorough search was
made for Napwyak, but without suc-
cess.
The police of Port Richmond were
finally informed and Lieutenants VIII
son and Sakenburg arrested the man at
midnight, They did not return to the
police station, as the crowd of excited
factory men We're still waiting there for
news of the arrest. Napwyak was taken
at once to New Dorp and safely placed
in a cell before anybody else knew of
his capture.

GLENN WON'T BULGE
NORTH CAROLINA GOVERNOR
INSISTS ON STATE RIGHTS.
Demands That Railroads Charge New
Rate, Pending Decision of Case
Before Supreme Court.

RALEIGH, N. c., July ga confer
ence yesterday between Governor Glenn
and Assistant United States Attorney
General Edward T. Sanford, sent here
by President Roosevelt to try to avert
further clashing between the Federal
State courts over the railroad-rate
cases, failed to settle the troubled
waters.
Mark w. Brown, Federal solicitor for
the Fifteenth Judicial District, VINO has
been pressing Governor Glenn by wire
from Ashevilfe to agree to a truce
pending an adjudication of the new
rate law by the United States Supreme
Court, continued his efforts for peace.
The Governor wired last night TO Mr..
Brown his ultimatum in the matter,
which accepts the offer to speed the
cases to the highest tribunal, but still
insists that meanwhile the railroads
must obey the law by charging not
more than two and one-fourth cents a
mile on passenger traffic.
The representatives of the national
government contend that the acceptance
of Governor Glenn's proposal, made in
detail to Mr.. Brown, by which the rail-
road cases now under way are to be
prosecuted. and railroads forced to OBJ
serve the law pending a decision as
to its constitutionality, would mean a
notification of Federal Judge Pritch-
ards injunction restraining the State
courts from further prosecution of rail-
road agents for selling tickets at the
higher rate, and that this cannot be
assented to.
The Governor, on the other hand. as
serts that he has no power to enter
into an agreement TO suspend the OPP
erations of the act, effective July 1,
and has so wired Judge Pritchard, the
Southern Railroad and the Department
of Justice at Washington. Governor
Glenn has stoutly maintained his be-
lief in the righteousness of his position.
ASHEVILLE. N. c.. July 26.-Assistant
United States Attorney General Sanford
spent the early part of today in a con-
ference with railroad officials and with
Judge Pritchard. 1t is likely that he
will leave this afternoon and will either
go direct to Washington or transmit his
report by mail. He will report that his
visit to the State capital, in an effort TO
restore peace. was fruitless.
A telegram received by railroad officials
here from Marion today says that the
Grand Jury has reported one true bill
again. the ticket agent there. This is
taken to indicate that at least one arrest
will be made during the afternoon.

The committee on school houses of
the Board of Education had q repeti-
ton of a previous stormy session yes
terday. when they met to receive bids
for the new Lincoln School in Richelieu
Terrace, in the Nailsburg section. The
amount asked for by the Board of Edu-
cation for the erection of this school
from the board of school estimates was
$50, 900. but when the bids were opened
yesterday it was found that the total
expenditure necessary would be about
SAG. 900 more than the $4,000 appropri-
ated for the purpose. As a result it is
possible that the school may not be
built this year.
With the architects fee of 8 per cent.
the total cost of the Lincoln School,
as indicated by the lowest bids for the
several contracts. would be in excess of
$685. 600. The lowest bids as tabulated
and compared by Assistant School
Board Secretary Samuel Gaiser. are:

nolds. $62, 1000; iron and steel work,

rad, $3.50; electrical work, The

$40, 265, If building is shortened a $3.50
reduction will be made; motor and
motor wiring, both Bently Bros. and
the General Electric Company bid
alike. S465 for the job.
After some discussion by the commit
tee members, the architect, Louis
.OiRourke, was called upon to make an
explanation, and instead of that he
made suggestions, stating that if the
commissioners saw fit to cut out the
assembly-room and make the building
twelve classrooms 1t could be brought
within the appropriation. After hear
ing from Charles Myers, of the city law
department, the commissioners decided
to lay the matter over until the next
meeting, and meantime the Board Of
Estimates will be asked to furnish the
necessary o to finish the work by
an extka appropriation. II they refuse,
the commissioners win request that the
expenditure of the $4,000 now on hand
be left for any purpose they deem fit to
use 1t.
Several buildings on land purchased
by the Board of Education were sold
yesterday and will go to the following,
to be removed within the next thirty
days.: 51-53 East Kinney street.

Hayes street for $751;; Van Keuren &
Sons gets go Livingston street for $S5,
rs Charlton street for $50, 229 Ferry
street for $40 and 111-11S Garside street
for $275.
Pecci and the Nebauer company each
bid $26 for the building at 81 Hamburg
place, and they will be allowed to
place other bids. A bid Of SS5 was re-
ceived from Van Keuren 6 Son for the
building on Hawthorne avenue site,
and was refused because 1t was too
low. The commissioner of the ward
and the secretary of the committee will
look for purchasers of the house.

DOUBTIN MORANWILLI
COURT TO CONsTROE TIES
LAMENT OF LATE BUILDER.
Interlineations Altered Purport of the
Document as Originally Formulated
by the Testator.

After a brief hearing before Judge
Ten Eyck in the Orphans Court today
in the matter of the validity Of The will
of the late James Moran, the lawyers
interested were directed % submit
briefs and call the attention of the
court again to the case at any time
after that had been done. The court
at the same time remarked mat the
only thing to be considered was the
intention of the testator.
Mr.. Moran was a well-known master
mason of many years standing in this
city and left an estate Of about SF0, 900.
When his will was offered for probate
last month it was found to be 50 full
of interlineations and marks that Sur
rogate George f. Russell refused to
probate 1t because the intent Of the
testator was obscure.
Mr.. Moran died May q last and the
will in question bears date of August
Is. 1904. 1t was witnessed by Mayor
Edward Kenny. of East Newark. and
former Surrogate John B. Dusenberry,
and these were the only witnesses
heard today.
There are two sets of marks and va
rious interlineations in the will. One
of the first clauses, in which the tes-
tator ~bequeathes to a daughter, Mrs.
Agnes j.. Bournique. 81, $50 in notes,
p4rt of a sum his daughters husband,
Desire Bournique. owed the deceased,
is crossed out and on the margin APP
pear the words Same as above" This
is construed to refer to a clause regard
ing the disposition of another daugh-
+A~s-- r..l,. ~ .. a.. Arf Tow
and would give Mrs. Bournique all hat
her husband owed Moran, instead of
only S1,750.
In a paragraph bequeathing all the
residuary estate to John b. Moran,
the t%estator's son. there are a series
of pencil marks, while in another para
graph there are other pencil marks,
adding the names of Mrs. Catherine A.
Reilly, a daughter, and Edward M.
Waldron, a son-in-law, to the list of
beneficiaries
According to the terms of the will
as written,a daughter, Mrs. Reilly, re-
ceives 81 Wilsey street; Mrs. Mary F.
Callahan, another daughter, SO Wilsey
street; Mrs. Bournique. 100 Wilsey
street, and Mrs. Margaret Waldron.
also a daughter, 9S Wilsey street. The
cash requests are: Mrs. Reilly, SO. 500;
Mrs. Waldron. $4,000; Mrs. Callahan.
S. 1000; Mrs. Bournique, $4,000. and an
other daughter. Winifred, $500.
Mr.. D~usenberry explained that Mr..
Moran, the testator, had frequently
called upon him in reference to the
will, which had been executed in legal
form and in the presence of witnesses,
as required by law The interlineations
and changes, the witness added, were
made at the direction of the ~testator,
and were chiefly due to the fact that
after drawing the will, he had ac-
quired title to the property 232-2S4
Academy street and the adjoining va
cant lot, which he wished to leave to
his son, John B.. Moran.
The mayor testified to witnessing the
will. He is counsel for the proponents
and executors, while William j. Kearns
represents toe interests of Mrs. Mar
garet e. Waldron, and Sherrerd Depue
/ represents Mrs. Reilly.

2 WIVES LOOK
FOR CAPT.
STOLL
Have Met Each Other,
at Which Time ParaSOIS
and Fingers We're Used.

NEW YORK. July 26.-Two women
claiming to have the legal right to
bear his name in this city seek to get
into communication with a woman they
believe to have the same right in Chi
cago; a host of creditors flourish
checks, investment receipts, I o US
and other claims. amounting to thou
sands. and are on the trail of Cap
tain Frederick f. Stoll, superintendent
of the Chicago mail delivery under
President Cleveland, once captain of
the Illinois National Guard and later
president of the Suburban Realty
Brokers' Association, who has gone into
retirement.
The retirement e that since last
Friday neither the wives nor the cred
itors, nor the Broadway restaurants,
where he was a most liberal patron,
have seen or heard of him. He has
not Sent word to any of them of his
whereabouts or when he intends re-
turning.
Stoll's disappearance followed closely
on a call by Mrs. Julia Garrett Stoll,
of Broadway and Se1enty-ffth street,
on Captain and Mrs. Alma Earle Stoll
at the Hotel Albany. 1t is admitted
that the call was full of incident and
included choking. the free use of a par
asol and the rapid use of words, wind
ing up with a fainting fit.
1t was Mrs. Alma Earle Stoll who
was choked by Mrs. Julia Garrett Stoll.
1t was the captain who received the
blows from the parasol and also the
words, and it was the visitor who
tainted. The men and women with the
checks, bills, receipts md other claims,
were not present at the call, but they
have learned of it since and added 1t
to the records of their new association.
Stoll has been a picturesque figure in
New York city for about seven years.
He came from Chicago and is about
40 years of age. tall, impressive-look-
ing, always well dressed and very
suave. He is what is known as a
ehustlef'' in a dozen schemes and
usually lands on his feet. Soon after he
arrived in the city he organized the
Chelsea Association, a civic purity
league, and received warm letters from
ex-President Cleveland and President
Roosevelt, and other public men. He
jumped from that to a publishing house
in Union Square, dabbled in politics
and finally joined the Minnetonka Club,
in James Ahearn's district.
In the meantime he had gone into
real estate, and II G. Van Arden, SELL
ing agent of the Mccormack Real Es-
tate Company, said yesterday that he
was one Of the best men in the BUSH
ness he had ever met. His commissions
alone for the year, it was estimated,
would have been worth $50, 900 at least.

and ran as fer as West Kinney street and

blow after blow and cried for help while
the others were yelling TO lynch him.
George Witt and Charles PATTI rushed to
the street and halted the team, which was
wildly galloping toward the crowd. At
this time Moser appeared.

LOCKJAW FROM BEE STING.
Four-Year-old Boy Was First Treated
for Diphtheria.

PHILADELPHIA. July 26.-Lockjaw.
resulting from tie sting Of a bee, ended
the life of 4-year-old Ralph Foy, In the
Municipal Hospital, yesterday afternoon.
The hey had been under treatment for
diphtheria. About a week ago he came In
10 his mother crying and said that a bee
had "bit' him on the back of the neck.
Mrs Foy applied liniment and thought
no more about II. Next morning the
bump was larger and Ralph's neck was
very stiff.
1t is said to be a mpst extraordinary
case, and the doctors are 10th to believe
that the sting Of a bee could actually
produce tetanus. They say that Ralph
must have rubbed dirt into the wound,
but even this explanation does not sat
isfy them, for q bees sting does not make
an open wound such as is supposed 10
be necessary for the culture Of tetanas
germs.
