man against James e. Fargo, as president
of the American Express Company. for
$500 for alleged false arrest and malicious

butcher, was arrested on a charge made by
the chief inspector Of the American Ex-
press Company that he had stolen a travel
lers check issued by the company In Lon
don to Frederic r. Coudert. When tried
he was acquitted. The plaintiffs story is
that he met a man in Hoboken who said
that he was a steward on the steamship
Princess Cecille. and asked him to go TO
the Office Of the express company and cash
the check. The supposed steward, said
Blerman. explained that the name OF the
person who was to receive the money had
been accidentally burned off with a cigar.
SO he induced Bierman to put his own
name on the check.
Bierman said on the witness stand that
he did not expect to get any part OF the
proceeds from the check. When he pre-
scnted 1t for payment, he said IL was dis
covered that it was one that had been
stolen. Bierman was arrested, aud after

UPHOLDS ELECTION BOARD
Justice Davis Decides Against
Staten Island Postmaster.

Justice Davis decided from the supreme
Court bench yesterday that the Boaru Oh
Elections was legally constituted anu tne
commissioners were legally holding theif
office. The decision was made after arsu-
ment on the motion OF Frederick Rohde'
postmaster at Stapleton. Staten Island ior
an Injunction to restrain Controller Prem
dergast from paying the salaries ot the
elections commissioners on the ground that
they were not legally holding ONCE.
One of Rohde's contentious was that the
law Disseminated against Richmond
County and Queens County in that the
commissioners were appointed only from
New York County and Kings County on
the recommendations of the county COM
mittees of the Democratic and Republican
parties.
Justice Davis said In denying the motion
for the injunction that he was parity
prompted by the fact that the removal OF
the election commissioners month before
the holding of the primaries preceding
Presidential election would create hope
lessly confusing situation, which might he
beyond remedy. He said the Inconvenience
OF Rohde could not be compared to the
general inconvenience that would be
caused by the removal OF the Board or
Elections.

FEAR CORNER IN TIN HERE
Total Available Supply on the Local
Market ONLY LOO Tons.

There is a shortage in tin in this market,
and traders fear that unless further sup
plies are forthcoming shortly somebody will
engineer corner in the metal The total
available supply here at present is 100
tons whereas the ordinary demand for Feb
ruary runs from $500 to 1000 tons. An ad-
ditional LOO TO 1000 tons is expected TO
reach here from London before the end OF
the month, but there Is no certainty that
It will arrive in time TO relieve the sltua-
tion.
The scarcity Of tin is due TO the foreign
syndicate having cornered the January po-
sition in London. The new tin contract
basis went into effect on the London Metal
Exchange On February l, but the syndicate
had secured all the Straits tin deliverable
under the old form Of contract, and sat
tight refusing TO deal under the new con-
tract, which makes other brands deliverable
under differentials. While the deadlock con-
tinues and there Is said to be no imme-
diate prospect OF its being broken, there
can be no shipments OF the metal here.

NEW BRANDT MOVE PLANNED
His Friends Now Considering
Habeas Corpus Proceedings.

A member Of the grand Jury that in
dicted Foulke Il. Brandt, the servant oi
Mortimer L. Schff in 1907, called on Dis
trict Attorney Whitman yesterday. 1t is
understood that the former juror told the
District Attorney that, as he recalled the
case, the grand jury tried Brandt for at
tempted blackmail. Brandt pleaded guilty
10 burglary IN the first degree, and was
sentenced to prison for thirty years by
Judge Otto Roealsky in General Sessions.
The next step on the part or Brandt $
friends to have his sentence commutcd, In
opposition to the decision OF Governor DIN
will probably consist OF habeas corpus pro-
ccedings. The transcript OF the cross-eN-
animation OF Brandt by Judge Rosalsky' II
"a said. shows that Brandt didn't really
know that he was pleading guilty to
charge OF burglary In tho first degree
Such evidence would constitute grounds for
habeas corpus proceedings
II may be that Carl Fischer Hansen
Rrandt's former counsel, now disbarred for
subornatlon OF perjury, will go before a
Supreme Court Justice and apply for such
proceedings. II is usual for the District
Attorney 10 oppose such an application, but
in the case OF Brandt It is well known that
District Attorney whitman's report sub
mitted 10 Governor Dix last week dis
tinctly favored the pardon OF Schiff's for
mer servant.
Clarence j. Shearn. attorney for the w.
r. Hearst newspapers, called on District
Attorney Whitman late yesterday after
noon and remained In conference with him
until after ! o'clock in the evening.

WILL NOT RESUME DIVIDENDS
Sloss- Sheffield Company Will Await In
provement in Steel Business.

Because OF the continued dulncss In the
iron and steel trade the directors OF the
Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron Company. II
Is understood, have decided TO take no ac-
ton at present toward resuming dividend
payments on the common stock OF the com
pany, which were discontinued in Decem-
ber, 1910, owing to losses resulting from
the flooding OF one Of the company's prln-
cipal mines.
Since then the directors have not given
serious consideration 70 the resumption OF
dividends on the common stock. and IT was
said in well informed quarters yesterday
that until there was n well sustained In
crease in the demand for Southern iron and
until prices reached a higher level and were
maintained. the management would take no
action in that direction.
February is the month In which the d.
rectors were accustomed to declare the
quarterly instalment on the common stock
regularly payable in March.

DESTROYED 1T, FRIENDS SAY
Heirs Hope He Had Incorporated
Vast Holdings to Prevent
Sudden Liquidation.

Harry S. Black. president Of the United
States Realty and Improvement Company

said last night that It was probable Edwin
Hawley had left no will His intimate
friends knew, Mr.. Black said, that some
years ago Mr.. Hawley had destroyed his
will and that about the time he was taken
i'll he contemplated Incorporating his hold
ings, a project his death cut short.
Another intimate friend of the railroad
man said he knew that Hawley was con-
sidering the Incorporation OF his various
holdings shortly before his death. He
thought 1t doubtful whether his friend had
been able to carry out his idea holding
company. however. would not take the
place OF a WILL he pointed out, since It
would have TO be divided among his heirs
in lieu Of tho railroad stocks themselves.
But II there Is no will the existence of
such a corporation would prevent the rapid
liquidation OF all or a large part of his
many securities. To prevent any such de-
probation in price as would result from
the wholesale dumping OF these securities
on the market both Mr.. Hawley's heirs
and other investors in the same stocks
had hoped that he did succeed in incor-
porating his holdings or that no did leave

BACK FROM OPIUM MEETING
Five Delegates Return-German
Harbor Expert Arrives.

Among the passengers who arrived on
the Hamburg American liner Kaserin Au-
guste Victoria yesterday after stormy
crossing were Ave delegates from the In
ternational Opium Congress at The Hague
Edward Bell, secretary Of the American
Legation at Teheran, Persia, and Ludwig
Wendemuth the German expert on har-
bors.
OF the delegates from tho opium con-
gress four were representatives OF this coun-
try, while the fifth, though also an Amer
ican represented China. He was Francis A.
Carl. Speaking from an experience OF
thirty years in the Celestial Kingdom as
Commissioner Of Customs, he said that the
movement to crush out the opium trafnc
was now national in its scope. The other
delegates were Bishop Brent, Of the Philip
pines; Or. Hamilton Wright, Wallace j..
Young and Henry J. Finger.
Mr. Bell, having left Morgan Shuster the
deposed Persian treasurer, in Paris, said
that Mr.. Shuster's principal feeling now
was one Of sorrow that his work could not
be completed. The secretary laid the treas
urer's ousting to the jealousy OF Russia ana
England, who could not bear TO see an
other power gaining a foothold in the ter
ritoly they practically controlled.
Mrs. Roberta Hill, who sailed away FOR
ever last fall after spending three days IN
the Tombs for attempting to smuggle
fur coat into the country, brought back with
her four Pomeranians, which almost got her
in wrong with the customs officials again,
and a rumor that she was going on the
stage.
Marc Klaw. the theatrical manager, was
among the passengers, returning with
headful Of plans for new importations IN
tho musical comedy line Others aboard
were Herman Tape, the fashionable MILL
