LAST NICKEL FOR BEER. K. A. McCrum, Real Estate Agent, Then Shot Himself in Bronx Park.

New York. June 26.-The body of Robert A. McCrum. real estate agent of II West 129th street, was found near the southern boulevard entrance to Bronx park yesterday '.f- tcrnoon with bullet hole in t.e right forehead. Two empty strych- nine vials and a revolver lay beside it.
 McCrum in buying glass of beer at a saloon near the park just before shooting himself, put nickel on the bar with the remark: This is the last nickel I've got in the world" On his body was ound an unsigned nOte in a woman's handwriting which said: Dear Robert-Keep up your courage. Everything will come out right"
 McCrum had worked for the real estate firm of NJ. & l.. Hess of 643 Broadway. but had been dropped be- cause of the business depression. His daughter, Agnes, is at school in St Joseph's academy, Brentwood. l.. I. He had also a sister and an aunt living at the Standish Arms, lS9 Columbia Heights. Brooklyn.

STREET HEARING
Heard By Judge Wheeler To-Day
 and Decision Reserved.

The hearing on the motion for an injunction to restrain the city from extending Clark street was heard by Judge Ralph Wheeler in the superior court this forenoon, Attorney Bron- son appearing for the petitioner. he Waterbury Savings bank and City Attorney Kellogg for the city.
 To expedite the hearing it was agreed between counsel that the pro- jected sreet would run right through the house of John Hender- son on which the bank above named has a mortgage for s3,000; that the property named was at right an- gles with Washington avenue and the street at that point is 105 feeg, and that easterly opposite the house five feet will be wasted.
 City Engineer Cairns with map before him, said it would be hard mat CT to say exactly what the lines of the property are, but he would say that approximately, the proposed street would run right through tne house. It was admitted by the bank hat MT Henderson was finafl- cially responsible for the mortgage besides that of his equity in tho property. It was further admitted that the city's records fail to show that the bank received a notice of the proposed work from either the bureau of assessment or the bureau of public works; that the banks on- ly Knowledge of the matter was ob- tained from the daily press, and through this source of information il knew that MT Henderson had taken an appeal from the assess ment of benefits and damages, bat did not know that the proposed street would run right through his house.
 It came out in the hearing that the property in question is bounded on every side by trouble. It runs 13S feet on Alder street and 163 feet on another new street. On Alder street it is 10 feet lower than the street grade and the new street, not yet named, is four feet lower than the grade of the lot
 Fifty feet of the unoccupied lot on which the house stands is swempy and full of springs, so that the lot would have to be filled and the new street would have to be raised. The cost of extending the stree was put at S17, 7,000 and $10,000 has already been expended on actual work which began about five months ago.
 The court remarked that 1t was very unusual that the city could proceed with work of this nature without paying damages or collect ing benefits. Two months ago Mir Henderson was notified to move his tolse.
 The court remarked that the house could be moved aside it a cost of probably $500 and the lot he ing lower than Alder ssreet it would have to be filled, which he thought would be rather costly.
 This afternoon at o'clock Judge Wheeler handed down his decision, deciding to deny the petition. This permits the city to proceed with the work of extending the street.

Every Time He Sees Yale Row the
 Blue Crew Loses, He Says.
 New Haven. Conn.,, June 26.-Secre- tary Taft sustained his first defeat since his nomination for the presiden- cy at Chicago. He witnessed from the observation train the loss of Yale's aquatic prestige on the Thames at New London and the lowering of the blue to the crimson.
 Practically he made no comment on the result of the great annual boat race between Yale and Harvard. In the circumstances none seemed to be necessary. After the Yale crew had stopped at the end of the third mile Secretary Taft remarked resignedly:
 Fl always appears to be my luck to witness the defeats of Yale. In sew enteen years we have been defeated but twice. or something like that, and have seen both of them"
 The secretary and Mrs. Taft left here today for New York. Mrs. Taft and Master Charley will go directly to Washington. The secretary will at- tend the Cleveland funeral at Prince ton and will meet some friends at the Manhattan hotel. He will visit the president at Oyster Bay tomorrow. go- ing to Washington tomorrow night.

Pure Rot-onIy Foundation For Rep
 utation Fact That Quaker City Had
 In Revolutionary Days seamstress
 Named Ross, Who May Have Mended
 Washinston's Old shirts-FIas House
 to Be Ignored.
 Philadelphia. June 26.-The story of Betsy Ross. glorified for having con ceived and built with her needle the first flag of our country, the five star red flag which the troops of Washing ton carried during the Revolution, has been officially stamped fake. .s..g.
 The famous flag house in Arch street, which was bought by popular subscrip- tien, will be ignored in the founders day celebration to be held in October.
 This is the result of report made by William J. Campbell to the histor- ical sites committee, organized to mark places of historical interest in this city
 His report is entitled Where Betsy Ross Did Not Design the American Flag" and it says. ,'The story is a fake, and there is positively no evidence in its favor"
 No Foundation For Story.
 'There was never the slightest ex- cuse for the Betsy Ross fake" said Mir Campbell. The stories which you find in the school books about this i'm aginary heroine are all pure rot, and it is to the everlasting disgrace of Amer lea that the fiction has been nourished for so many years. I have given the traditions most careful study and find that the story is lie from beginning to end. --r.- '.s
 ''The only foundation whatever for the yarn is that there was young wo- man named Betsy Ross who took in plain sewing for a living and who lived in a house at 239 Arch street.
 "She never had any interview with George Washington. and the pictures painted showing the Father of the Country beaming over the work of the handsome young heroine or the flag is gross libel on the truth.
 May Have Mended Georges Shirts.
 ''I am satisfied that Washington nev- CT heard of the young woman unless possibly. in common with other states men of the time. he was sending her some of his old shirts to mend.
 Betsy Ross never made any five star flag or any other kind. and I do not believe she would have known how to make one if she had tried to-"
 President Adam H. Fetterolf of Gi- rard college. a director of the Flag House association. is not satisfied He declared that proof must be produced that people. teachers and school books are erroneous They must furnish the real history of the flag. he said.

DAMAGE BY STORM
Heavy Gales Last Week Damage
Towns of Moclips and 0costa
to Some Extent.

A high tide, aggravated by a sew
enty-five miles an hour gale, threat
ened the summer resort town of Mo-
clips with destruction Friday and
for while it looked as if the city
would be inundated and the large
hotel and the saw mill swept into
the ocean. Over 500 feet of seawall,
built to protect the town, was car
ried away by the action of the waves,
which carried tons of driftwood be-
fore 1t, and when this was sucked
out to sea the gale had spent it's
fury and the tide receded.
Damage at Ocosta.
OCOSTA, Wash, Dec. 22.-Several
hundred feet of track on an unused
siding has been washed out today by
the high tide and considerable more
is threatened by the tide and rains
combined. The portion of the track
swept away is but little used and
caused no delay to traffic along the
| line.
