DECLARE WILLETT
UNFIT FOR OFFICE
Callahan Drops BOmbshell
in Judiciary Scandal.

New York, Nov. 3-WilHam Willett sat
in the Queens County courthouse to-day
and listened to Patrick E. Callahan, his
associate candidate for the Supreme
Court bench, declare him unfit for the
ofice to which he aspires.
This declaration was the climax Of q
succession of statements by Candidates
Callahan and Ketcham, every one OF
which seemed to be aimed directly at
willett. Callahan told Mr.. De Ford, who
is conducting the investigation into the
Brooklyn judiciary scandal before Justice
Scudder, that Both ne and Ketcham had
put It straight up to Willett' TO get on
the ticket after they found out about his
astonishing borrowings on and before the
day OF the convention.
Retcham the white-haired surrogate of
Kings County, related how, when the
Berri charges were made three can
didates gathered together to see what
could be done about II. Ketcham ad
mitted to the company that he had con-
tributed 500 to the Democratic cam
paIgn fund before he got the nomina-
ton. and that he had been intimately as
ISOLATED with Boss McCooey.
To McCooey's profit in the salary line,
Callahan owned to a contribution Of
800, and Willett, both his associates
aver, assured them that his record was
absolutely clear then. When Berri had
been accused Of criminal libel, and when
he had come into the court with 120 wit
nesses and a fighting face, Mr.. Willett
suddenly remembered that on the morn
ing OF election he had borrowed $4,000
in cash and laid the facts of that Ia
mentable indiscretion,'' as the surrogate
termed IT, before Ketcham and Willett,

BALTIMORE BROKER
HELD FOR FORGERY
Failure of the Firm Means
Heavy Loss to Banks.

Baltimore. Nd, Nov. 3-Baltimore's
financial district was thrown into a state
of tumult this afternoon by the forced
.receivership of the well-known brokerage
firm Of Pitt Bros. & Co., Chamber Of
Commerce, and as result it is said that
Baltimore and out-of-town banks stand
to lose between $4,000 and $4,000.
simultaneously with the appointment OF
a receiver, the grand jury presented Penn
broke w. Pitt. senior member Of the firm,
charging him with having forged GER
tificates of bills of lading for grain al
legged to have been bought by the Pitt
firm. On these and similar alleged forged
documents the officials OF four Of BaltI-
more's leading banks claim that the Pitt
firm secured loans aggregating many
thousands of dollars.
The defendant in the criminal pro-
ceedings disappeared from the city on
Thursday afternoon after having drawn
1900 from his personal account at local
bank. The police are hunting diligently
for him. 1t is said he has gone to New
York, with the idea of sailing for Eu-
rope, and the police will be asked to
look out for him. His bail was fixed
at $4,000.
Clarence Pitt, the other member of the
firm, stated that he was ignorant Of all
banking transactions which had been
conducted by his brother. The bogus
bills of lading upon which money was Sc
cured were adroitly drawn, the names of
fictitious agents being placed thereon to-
gether with the number Of freight cars.
How Pitt, or whoever else forged the
papers, managed to get the blank bills
Of lading is a question that Is interest
ing the railroad, and will probably lead
to rigid investigation. The firm Of Pitt
Bros. & Co. has existed since 1854 1t
was one OF the most active brokerage
firms in the city. About ten years ago
the company failed, but again started
business
Pembroke w. Pitt was known as
speculator. He dealt principally in grain
and was conceded to be an expert He
recently closed contracts for Western
corn to be delivered abroad in January,
February and March. AS these con-
tracts are gccd, at least $4,000 will be

CARMEN" SUNG
BY MARY GARDEN
Philadelphians Pleased with
Interpretation.

Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. S.-To-night,
when the second opera season under An
dreas DippeITs management began here
at what is now called-mistahngly-th
Metropolitan, the audience was, for once,
not the whole thing.
1t was a very brilliant audience, to be
sure, including many persons notable In
society, but strange as it may seem, 1t
showed less interest in itself than in
the opera which is Carmen and in the
singer who appeared in the chief part.
The cast in many ways was excellent
Dalmores sang Don Jose, the Escamillo
was Duffranne, Zeppili sang the role OF
MicaelIa and the small chorus was all
in fitting hands.
But the attention OF the house was
largely fixed upon the new Carmen-Mary
Garden.
Much was expected Of her, though she
had to live down memories of many a
charming forerunner. And expectation
was not disappointed. In some respects,
chiefly on the Interpretation side, Miss
Gardens Carmen will take rank among
the best
/ have seen nearly every really famous
Carmen since the opera was first sung,
None ! have known has quite eQualed
Galli-Marie, the creator OF the title
part. But several singers, of whom Mar
guerita Sylvia is the most recent, have
been striking and admirable interpreters
Of the character.
Miss Garden threw new lights upon
the heroine, largely repressing her own
forcefuI self to suit her part.
She had conceived Carmen as an i'm
pulsive, wayward, passionate woman;
not vulgar, like the drab suggested by
Maria Gay; not quite SO pretty as
Slyva's gypsy or turned into cocotte like
Calves Carmen. Her heroine was a law
unto herself-fiirting and loving as the
mood possessed her, wholly untrammeled,
sometimes tigerish, rarely coarse.
She made her first entrance on the
bridge, escorted by five men, all prob
ably in love with her. With great good
taste, in the first act, she wore a cheap
printed dress of blue and white, with a
white shawl, one red rose in her hair,
which was brushed back against her
head, and more roses in her bodice.
In the "Habanera" she phrased awk-
wardly and had little vocal charm. Nor
was she quite at ease in the ''Seguedille. -
But she redeemed her vocal slips by
womanly touches, by appropriate CO.
quetries and witcheries, which made the
love of Don Jose seem plausible. She
lent realism to the quarrel with the
cigarette girls by the ferocity with which
she attacked one of her enemies. Her
Carmen was a living. human Carmen.
In the second act Miss Garden wore a
rather unusual costume, green and red
and white, with green stockings. She
did nothing particularly sensational
either in her scenes with EscamilIo, whom
she treated with some condescension, or
In the later scene with Don Jose.

intendent Of schools, watched the contest
with anxiety, and both admitted that
official action against the secret organ
izations would be decided by yesterdays
outcome.
Previous to the election, Prof. Daniel
spoke to the class Of eighty members
and told them to be on their P's and Q's
strictly. He said he would not permit
either faction to rule the school and
expressed the hope that the pupils would
remember that their actions would be

city.
Saunders Wins.
For president, Capt LIE Roy Saunders,
one of the strongest men in the school
politically, won victory from Ralph
Keefer by a majority of three only. NJ.
Whitney, the reported candidate of the
anti-frats, was not nominated. It was
learned that many OF the latter voted for
Saunders.
For vice president, Louis Cramer de-
feated Miss Jacobs by a majority of six.
Both are members Of fraternities. J. NJ.
Bennett was chosen secretary. Harlan
Walker was defeated for treasurer by F.
Austin by a small majority.
The elections were secret with a big
s. The doors were locked, and when a
member wished to quench his thirst, he
was carefully preceded by the officer of
the day, lest any inquisitive NEWSPAPER
man be lurking around in the hall and
get information from him.
Because the boys and girls carried on
their all-important election and safely in
stalled the officers without the presence
Of Prof. Daniel, DR.. Davidson probably
will not recommend the abolition of Sc
cret societies for the present. The Nc
Kinley School was taken as monitor for
the other schools of the city, and because
they did nicely and had no trouble, they
will be complimented.
