BANKER RESCUED
FROM ANGRY MOB
Police Escort Head of Pri-
vate Bank Away After
Officials Take Charge.

Shortly after a notice had been post
ed on the door of his private bank, at
1856 Madison av., yesterday, that
his business was m the hands of the
State Banking Department, Abra-
ham L. Kass was escorted by police
man through a jeering mob to the
Third av. elevated station, at 106th st.
The crowd remained outside the bank
and another policeman was stationed
there.
Ii is customary for the bank to re-
main open until about 9 o'clock Mon
day evening to enable patrons to de-
posit a part of the pay which most OF
them receive on Saturday or Monday.
Soon after 6 o'clock last night the
doors were closed Within a few mo-
ments the sidewalk was jammed. One
man said he had deposited $50 thirty
minutes before the doors were closed.
For half an hour the crowd was the
prev of rumors. Then the notice was
posted. For hours the depositors and
their friends remained in front Of the
bank discussing the matter.
Other branches are at 100 Essex St,
Manhattan. and 81 Graham av., Brook
lyn. Irving V. Scott, state bank ex-
aminer, has been designated as a spe-
cial deputy Superintendent of Banks
to assist in the liquidation of the
banks affairs.
The State Banking Department an
nounced that the business had been
taken over in the interests of deposi-
tors, as within a comparatively short
time the banker had paid out a large
percentage OF his deposits while there
were very few new deposits TO balance
the Withdrawals. II was impossible to
dispose of his assets except at great
sacrifice.
About thousand people were on
hand bright and early yesterday morn
ing at the downtown branch of kass's
Bank. at 100 Essex St. and last night
many of them were still there. Ii was
necessary to call out the reserves of
the Clinton st. station 20 keep order.
% many screaming women announced
their intention of staying until they
got their money. All efforts TO per-
suade them that they could accomplish
nothing by remaining at the bank
failed to move most of them.
At 226 South 9th ST., Williamsburg,
where Kass lives. it was said last night
that he was too i'll to discuss the clos
ing of his bank. Mrs. kass volunteered
to give an informal statement covering
the situation. She said that since the
war broke out there had been steady
drain on the resources OF the bank and
that in seventeen weeks more than
5000 900 had been taken out.
She insisted that she and her hus-
band had $4,000, 900 in good securities,
which could not cadliy he turned into
cash at present, but would eventually
enable them to pay 100 cents on the
collar Friday and Saturday. she said,
Withdrawals had been particularly
heavy. and when Kass saw how things
were going he decided to call in the
State Banking Depai tment.

JEWS GROW RICH
BY RAISING PIGS
Pork Growing Increases
Among Hebrew Farm
ers. Says Secretary.

Pig raising is on the increase among
the Jewish farmers in the eastern sec
tion of the United States. according TO
J. W. Pincus, secretary of the Fedora
tion of Jewish Farmers of America,
which is holding its annual convention
at the Educational Alliance, 1875 East
Broadway. This became known yester-
day when delegates began making COM
parsons.
"No more boarders for me-" said a
Sullivan County farmer. Success in
farming lies in hogriculture, that's pig
raising, and | will continue TO follow
the example of other members who are
prospering in meeting the demands OF
the pork market"
The majority Of the members Of the
federation in New York State, Mr.. Pin
Gus said, were in the pork raising busi-
ness, and the number promised to in
crease.
The sixth annual report shows that
there are about 5000 Jewish farmers
in the United States, 1000 of whom are
in This state. All are prospering.
There are thirteen farmers associa-
tions, with sixty-three branches in
eleven states. Their aim is to help the
Jewish farmer by cooperative methods.
A report to be read to-day by A. d..
Wolf. of Centreville Station, secretary
of the Cooperative Fire Insurance
Company Of Sullivan County and Ai-
jacent Counties, will show decrease
of 25 per cent in fire insurance rates
since the organization of the co-opera-
tive association.
The principal objection Jews have
to becoming farmers, one. of the
delegates said, was the inadequate OPP
portunities of educating their children
in their own religion.
Cooperation is advocated for trans
porting produce to local markets. II
is planned to have a federation stand
at the New York City open markets.

Defendant in Separation
Case Makes Charges
Against Wife.
"DRUNKEN ORGIES"
IN COUNTRY HOUSE
Wife Wins Her Suit in Spite of
Testimony of Nurse and
HOusekeeper.

The names of two well known New
York families have been introduced by
John Breckenridge Brandreth, son OF
the late Ralph Brandreth, who made a
fortune manufacturing porous plasters
in the suit which Mrs. Katherine Adams
Brandreth has brought against him IN
the Supreme Court. Brandreth has
named Roderic Wellman, son of Francis
l.. Wellman, a well known attorney and
author Of f.works on cross-examlnation'
and who is associated with his fathers
law firm. and Duncan c. Pell, jr., using
the alleged intimacy of these two with
his wife as grounds for divorce. Inc
summons in this counter suit has oeen
served. but not yet filed.
Brandreth is brother OF Ralph
Brandreth. who left this country to live
in England so that he would not have
70 nav his wife alimony. His wife later
obtained a divorce, and the trust fund
left to Ralph Brandreth by his father
was attached to pay the alimony.
]. B. Brandreth, defendant in the
present separation action, pleaded that
income except the $500 a month left
him by his father. Justice Davis di-
rected him to pay $50 month alimony
and 5000 as counsel fee.
Both Pell and Wellman have made
affidavits denying the allegations Of
Brandreth, saying that they met Mrs.
Brandreth only as friends of her hus-
band Pell averred that there never
existed any familiarity between him
and Mrs. Brandreth. Wellman has ad-
mitted only that one night, while in
toxicated, he forced his way into the
Brandreth country home at Hewlett,
Long Island, and sought shelter there
because he had missed the last train
and had nowhere else 10 go.
In his answer to the complaint OF his
wife Brandreth also charged that his
wife and her mother drank TO excess
and that Mrs. Brandreth was addicted
to the use of drugs, on one occasion
taking thirty grains OF trional, which
would have killed a person not used TO
drugs.
Brandreth rented the house at Hew-
lett last wear, and every Sunday he
used TO spend the day with his mother,
who had a house at Bellport. lie al

her mother would invite men and wom-
en- friends and indulge in drunken
orgies" until their actions became so
notorious that they were the object OF
scandal" lie said that after these at
fairs he found whiskey bottles hidden
around the house.
The Brandreths were married IN
1911. They have one child, Dora. The
husband was graduated from Harvard.
Since the summer of 1913, alleged the
wife. her husband pursued "a tyran--
nical, harsh and unkind treatment" and
was frequently intoxicated. She said
that Brandreth falsely accused her Of
misconduct with some of his friends.
The differences of the Brandreths
caused them to enter into a separation
agreement under which the husband
was to pay his wife 800 a month and
she was to have the custody of their
child. Last October Brandreth told his
wife that he would not pay her any
thing for at least six months. In the
meantime their little daughter came
into the custody of the husbands
mother, and Mrs. Brandreth COM

OSBORNE TAKES
POST AT PRISON
Drives to Sing Sing at
Night from Home in
Own Auto.

Thomas Mott Osborne took Office as
warden of Sing Sing prison last night
at o'clock. He arrived at the prison
in his own automobile after a 30O-mlie
drive from his home in Auburn. HIS
first official business was the appoint
ment Of Charles II. Johnson as his con-
fidential secretary, which is equivalent
to the office of deputy warden. Mr..
johnson was born in Brooklyn, and up
to his appointment was superintendent
of the Leake and Watts Orphan Asy-
lum, at Yonker5. He was graduated

citation work, and is a member of the

There is no provision for a deupty
warden at present. The state. how
ever. does not mind if some one oc-
cupies that office. A bill will be intro
duced in the Legislature this winter
providing for the Office. Until that
time Johnson's salary will come from
outside sources.

DEPARTMENT. was also present during
the cross-examination of the chauf-
feur at the Criminal Courts Bull ing
Immediately after which two c. tral
Office detectives were dispatchc TO
Hoboken.
IL was learned that these detectives
had been assigned to cause the arrest
and detention of a man believed 70
have knowledge as TO the sources and
inspiration of the Baff murder. He
was not a principal to the commission
of the crime, but was sought as ma
terial witness.
The shooting of Patrick Doyle
otherwise known as Little Pats"
a saloon at Eighth av. and 4lst st. last
Saturday night is still supposed to
have some possible connection with the
Baf case. Yesterday Coroner Feinberg
ordered that Mrs. Edwin Hill, twenty
six years old, of 2299 Eighth av., and
Victor J. Pinto, twenty-five. of 4l9
West 36th ST., be sent to the House OF
Detention as material witnesses.
Mrs. Hill told the Coroner she had
known Doyle for two years and had
been considered his close friend. She
said that she had been with him on
the night Of his murder. but that he
had been called away by a telephone
message from another woman. Inc
name of the woman was not disclosed.
Two arrests are expected to-day IN
connection with the Boyle shooting.
Pinto, who was held with Mrs: mn
as a material witness in the Doyle
case, told the detectives that the mur-
dered man had moved to the East Side
only two years ago. He insisted that
Doyle had been formerly connected
with an East Side collection OF pan
ditti, who had acted as strike breakers
in various labor struggles, and had
finally incurred the enmity OF his for.
mer associates by turning "squealer.
1t is because of Doyle's former asso-
Citations that the report was current
yesterday that his assassination was
an aftermath Of the Baff murder.
Although Coroner Feinberg yester-
day was positive that there was a close
connection between the two most re-
cent gang murders OF Ban ana
Doyle-the police yesterday laughed at
such an assumption.
"Baff was killed by kosher gang
ster," was the way one police otilciai
put the case. "Doyle belonged TO
ulUeIenL Oulut. ilt was hIlltN "
West Side crew, probably the Gophers.
] don't think that there is any possible
way of connecting the two cases. 1t
may be that there was some such tie
up. because the ramifications of gang
alliances are multitudinous, but the
police are not attempting 10 connect
the two cases at the present time"
At Police Headquarters yesterday 1t
was denied Doyle had been used as
"stool pigeon" to obtain information
as TO the identity of the Baff murder
ers.

Der on the revolver with which ban
was slain was turned over to hall
dozen detectives. who began search
of the pawnshops for clew as to its
purchaser. II is claimed that the gun
bears a distinctive nick in the barrel,
showing it had been pawned by the
original owner. The police search for
the pawnshop seemed to centre around
the environs of Chatham Square.
