on a complaint telephoned to the
First Precinct police station by Carl
Bannwart, secretary of the Shade Tree
Commission, this afternoon, Mr.. Lesch-
liner, the well-known local real estate
dealer, was stopped when he started to
cut down some trees adjacent to the
new auditorium now in the course OF
construction at Broad and Hill streets.
Mr.. Leschziner ordered the brennan
who supervises the excavation to cut
down the trees. This the foreman, Fec
Bemno, refused to do without a per-
nit, upon which Mr.. Leschziner seized
the axe and started to IL down the
trees himself, when he was stopped
by an officer from h First Precinct.
Afterward at the request of Mr..
Bannwart, an officer was detailed to
see that the statute requiring a per-
init for such work was not violated.
Mr.. Bannwart said that If necessary he
would swear out a warrant against
MIR. Leschziner if he attempted to cut
down the trees again without a per-
nit.
Mr.. Leschziner could not be located
this afternoon TO give his version of
the affair.

LOWER CAR STEPS ARE NOT
PRACTICABLE. SAYS P. S. c.
Uniform Height Now in Use Re-
suit of Thought.

The Public Service Railway Company
today filed an answer with the Public
Utilities Commission relative to the
petition of William S. Davidson, an
assemblyman of Hudson county, who
as a private citizen asked hat the
street a steps be lowered.
The first step from the ground is II
inches high, the second step to the plat
form IA inches, n the last from the
platform to the floor of the car is 10
inches high. In it's answer the Public
Service railway explains it is imprac-
tlcable to lower these steps. as the
size of h motors govern the height of
the floor of the car from the ground.
1t is pointed out by the company that
seventeen inches is the height standard
adopted by the manufacturers of cars
and by the National Association of ur-
ban and interurban railways. The
uniform height of steps now used, de-
clares the company, was adopted after
long experience and careful considera-
ton.
A letter from C. r. Barnes. electric
railway inspector for the Public Serv-
ice Commission. district 80, of New
York State, was included in The COM
pany's letter to the Public Utilities
commission Mr.. Barnes also declares
1t impracticable to lower the height of
street car steps. Car manufacturing
concerns at Brooklyn, Philadelphia and
the j. G. Brill Car Company have also
testified h a the present car step is
the lowest obtainable. says the Public
Service Railway in it's letter.

ton Lloyd. an inferno at the Newark
EYE and Ear Infirmary, who is con
fined at the Isolation Hospital at Soho,
suffering from a slight attack of scar
let fever, IS considerably better, and

On Sunday night last DR.. Lloyd first

with q sore throat. When he observed
a slight eruption Tuesday he decided
to go to the Isolation Hospital. AS a
precautionary measure the infirmary
was fumigated and DR.. Wells p. Eagle
ton notified the parents of all the chill
dren at that time confined at the hos
pital. A few of the children were
taken away, but DR.. Eagleton stated
last night that they would all be back

The rumor that the infirmary has
been placed under quarantine is UNI
true.

SEARCH FOR PAIR
Of OLD TROUSERS
CAUSES 3 FIRES
Small Boy with Match Keeps
Firemen Busy for Hour
and Half.

Three fires within the space of an
includes 3S4 to 1872 Springfield avenue in
a state of excitement, uproar and near
panic today. The first alarm was sent
in as the result of a search for a pair
of old trousers instituted by S-year-old
Leo Stahl with a lighted match in a
clothes closet on the second floor of 500.
Within four minutes of the time when
Leo appraised the block through a front
window of the danger which threatened
it, every member of the thirty families
and every employee of the dry goods
store, the shoe store, the 5 and 10-cent
store and the moving picture theatre,
which occupy the first floors of the
block, were in the street safe from the
flames but considerably panic-stricken.
Fire Breaks Out Again.
Firemen made short work of the
blaze, but their backs were no more
than turned; that is, they had just
managed TO get around the corner with
all of their fire fighting apparatus when
the flames again burst out in the Stahl
fiat. Lieutenant Hamburger, of the
Salvage Corps, who had remained be-
hind for some such emergency, man
aged, single-handed, to subdue this
second fire.
A half hour later the Stahl apart
ment for the third, ana, bremen are
hoping for the last, time today was
discovered to be in flames. Again the
block belched forth all of its excited
inhabitants and again the fire was
overcome by the fire fighters.
The origin of this third blaze, by the
way, is something of a mystery, as
Lieutenant Hamburger saw to it before
he left that none of the original fire
was left behind him when he left the
house. 1t is thought possible, however
that a tiny flame had crept between
the partitions of the closet where il
was not seen.

Of GARDNER IN
BRIBERY TRIAL
---.---.s-
Judge Seabury Declares Case
Must Go to the Jury
Today.

NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-What promised
to be the final day of the trial of Frank
]. Gardner, on a charge of attempted
bribery, opened with Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Charles C. Mott ready
to put the former State senator
through a searching cross-eXamination.
Gardner, testifying in his own defense
just before court adjourned Tuesday,
emphatically denied hat he had tried
to bride Congressman Otto G.. Foelker,
then a State senator, to vote against
the anti-race track betting bills in 1908,
or hat he had old Assistant District
Attorney Elder, of Brooklyn, anything
whatever about race-track legislation
at Albany. 1t was Elders testimony
before the Merritt committee of what
he alleged Gardner told him of race
track bill bribery that started that end
of the bribery investigation and led
eventually to Gardeners indictment.
Prosecutor Mott indicated, that he
would recall Mr.. Elder today in re-
buttal, to reiterate his story of the
$500, 600 bribery fund which he declares
Gardner told him about. Mr.. Mott also
vas expected to take the stand himself
to refute part of the testimony of one
of tine d~efense's witnesses.
Gardner Cross-examined.
Justice Seabury notified counsel that
the case must 60 TO the jury today. 1t
was arranged to complete taking OF
testimony at the first session and de-
vote the afternoon to summing up.
Gardner vas put on the stand fol
cross-examination as the first witness
of the day. Mr.. Engeman, a relative
of City Chamberlain Hyde, Gardner
said, had asked him to use his influ-
ence with his personal friends in tho
Legislature to bring about the defeat
of the antl-race track betting bills
Gardner said he was to receive So, 00l
for his services and 1900 for disburse-
ments and expenses in arousing senti-
ment against racing legislation.
"Mr. Engeman told me" he said, tina
the poolroom interests had urged thu
reformers to have the anti-racing bills
introduced and passed. He also wanted
me to find cut if the poolroom interests
were ~expending any money at Albany
to nave the bills put through"
Gardner admitted that he had moi
registered as a lobbyist.
Gardner denied that he went t
Scranton to escape being subpoenaec
by the legislative Investigating com
mittee.
