GRESSER ILL AT TRIAL
Queens Borough President Is
Forced to Quit Courtroom.

Lawrence GreSser. President of Queens
Borough. who is being tried on charges
preferred against him by taxpayers of his
borough. was forced to leave the hearing
before Commissioner Ordway yesterday.
when he was taken suddeply i'll. 1t was
shortly before the close of the morning
session in the Queens County Courthouse,
in Long Island City, that Mr.. Gresser COM
planned Of feeling unwell. When the matter
was explained to counsel for the prosecu-
ton they consented to let the Borough
President go to his home.
The crowded courtroom in Long Island
CITY showed the interest that is being taken
In the investigation. and there is much
speculation as to what will be its outcome.
Many people feel that Ciresser is not wholly
to blame for the condition of affairs, but is
made the scapegoat for grating which has
been going on for years.
The investigation as to the laying of a
sewer for the benefit of St A1OySiuS s
Roman Catholic church. in Onderdonk
avenue was again touched upon. The Rev.
John W. Hauptnann. pastor of the church,
said he had first spoken TO Joseph Bermel
then President of the Borough. about it,
and later to Mr.. GresSer and that shortly
afterward work was rushed on it, The
city paid for everything connected with the
building of the sewer.

AT the beginning of the recent annual
meeting" says President Robert = Hooper
of the American Automobile Association
the usual questions were asked by oele-
gates as TO what real work was beins ac-
cor1pIished by the national organization OF
sutomobilis:s. Before the meeting was NAN
over these queries had been fully ans"ereo
by reports. Furthermore, not a single oeie
gate remained who did not realize that any
one who hereafter asks the questoh Oh
what he gets out Of the American Auto
,,of,iIe Association will only ask II because
he really is not looking after his own IN
ter.sts and does not appreciate what is &C
tuslly being done for HIM
'.Tbose who have followed the work OF
the good roads board will easily recognize
the fact that while good roads are vaitlapie
m autou1ohilists the work carried on by
the American Automobile Association Is
not a selfish work. because highway I'M
movement benefits every man Win prop
ertv situated on good road our FARMING
districts are being benefited most OF all
as is made apparent by the TACT that 'he
farmers themselves now own au'omopiies
and use them for both business ana pleas
ure. They likewise are convinced that this
work is being carried on for thelr interest
as well as for other road users
There is no douot that all organizations
in the United States working for good roads
should cooperate. and with the tremendous
strength that the American Automobile
Association has gradually been accunu-
lating il is in an excellent position Ia figure
prominently in this work and 10 carry 1t
forward Newer associations must of ne
cessi,y spend a great deal of energy in
nerfecitng their structures before they can

owner Of the Dixie IL had offered $4,000
for f1fty-mile boat. The story created
considerable comment and Mr. Brnham has
been besieged with inquiries from boat
builders who wanted to try for the prize
Mr.. Burnhams answer to one of thes build
ers was as follows:
1T is not correct that j have offered
$4,000 for a ffty-mile boat, but neverthe-
less / am in the market for a fifty mile
boat. but not at that figure The measure
ments would have to be 40 feet and under,

from you
II also was reported that A r. Peacock
had made similar offer. but Mr.. Peacock
has issued a denial OF the story.

LAWSON SORE AT HEINZE
Hasn't Spoken for 8 Years
Wants No Dealings with Him.

BOSTON Dec 10-Tbomas w. Lawson at
tempted to-day to shed some light on the
rise and fall of Ohio Copper in May, 19o?
as bearing on the allegations of F. Angus
tus Heinze, in his suit to recover collateral
pledged with A D. F. Adams. of this city,
which Heinze said was sold without his
(Heinzes) consent The case is being
heard by F. Rockwood Hail. master ap-
pointed by the Supreme Court, and has
teen in progress for nearly two months
Mr. Lawson said that he entered into an
greement with Carlos Warfeld, f. Au-
slstus Heinze and James r. keene regard
ing the mana cement of a market campaign
in Ohio Copper which should enhance the
value of the stock from S. to IS share
He said he was assured by Mr.. warfeld
that the greater rart of the stock was
closely held and that very little stock
would come out during the rise. MIR. Law
son said he began purchasing the stock at
s5 and continued until it had gone above
SS share, purchasing and selling in the
two weeks of the rise some eighty thousand
shares During that time he frequently
.'pegged'' the market: that is. ascertained
that certain brokers were ready 10 pur-
chase all stock offered a certain price
in order that it should not go to higher
figures When the stock reached SS
share he was led 20 believe that Ohio Cop
per. which he had been assured by Messrs.
Warfield and Keene would not be Offered,
was nevertheless being thrown on the mar
ket in large blocks He ceased his opera
tions at once on May 26. 1909.
Several of the numerous counsel tried TO
obtain from Mr.. Lawson his idea OF the
reputation of Mr. HeiDze for truth and
veracity, but other counsel objected. Mr..
Lawson was allowed to say that he had not
spoken to Mr.. Heinze for eight years, and
did not want to have any business rela-
tions with him. He was of the opinion that
the great amount of stock which came out
at sS a share came from Mr.. Keene rather
than from Mr. Warf1eld.

UNIONS AND MILITIA AT ouT&.

Must Withdraw.

MUST Withdraw.
Walla Walla, Wash, March 16.-Op-
position by members of local labor
unions to the organization of Com
pany X, second regiment national
guard of Washington, just mustered
in, threatens to disrupt the company.
Members of the new company, who
also are members of labor organiza-
tions have, in several instances. been
told by the unions either to resign
from the company or the unions.
First intimation of the trouble
came when Joseph F. Tierney, presi-
dent of the butchers union, was
asked to resign his Office because he
had joined the guard. He complied
and now the cooks and walters club
has given several militiamen choice
of quitting the union or the company
Officials of labor unions are bitter in
their expressions of disapproval at the
organization of the national guard
company in this city, and it is said
