THEFTS BEGANJN 1908
Controller Blames Aitken for
Failing to Discover Them.
"REAL CAUSE OF DISMISSAL"
Concealment Charge a False
hood, Prendergast Says-Bill
board Eental Explained.
Controller Prendergast replied yesterday
to the charge made on Sur.Jay by Peter
Aitken. former EupernYtßsAwßt or markets
end collector of cuy revenue, that his dis
missal was due to poWfteal causes. Incom
peiency and mismanagement are declared 1
to have betn the causes of the dismissal of
Aitken.
The Controller fays that the defalcations
referred to by Aitken amounted to more
than J2,<03 and began in December, 150 S.
They continued, he said, until the first
week of May, when they were discovered
by Fred Goetz. a deputy collector cf reve
nue, appointed by Controller Prendergast.
As a result of the discovery of these def
alcations a warrant has been issued for a
clerk who had been in the bureau under
Aitken from March, ISOS, at a salary of
il,yo, and who lives in Brooklyn.
"The greater part of the defalcations,
•which amount to £UOO. took place during
the " last year that Mr. Metz was Con
troller," said Mr. Prendergast yesterday.
"Mr. Aitken was in charge of the bureau
all that time. He did not discover the def
alcation. If this is not mismanagement by
Aitken as a. bureau head I don't know
what should be called mismanagement.
"Mr. Altken*s charge that he had no
chance to defend himself has no foundation
In fact. On May 13, after the defalcation
■was discovered. I told him I would expect
his resignation when I came back from a
trip. He said he would like a little more
time to consider and wrote a long explana
tion, but if he is not to be held responsible
for the conduct of his bureau, who is?
"As to the assertion that the place Is in
tended for some one else, it is absurd. I
do not know yet who will be appointed to
replace him and will take my time choosing
his successor.
-The statement that I tried to conceal the
defalcation is a falsehood. As soon as the
accountants had made sure that a defalca
tion existed Deputy Controller Mathewson
vent with Aitken to Police Headquarters
end reported the matter. A detective ser
jreant was assigned to apprehend the man
charged with the i fence. This was on Fri
day. May €, and the following Monday a
warrant was issued. Accountants from two
bureaus h*>ve been working on the books of
the bureau, and the transaction has been
common knowledge in the department for
weeks.
•'There If no truth in the statement about
On American Billposting Company and the
rescind-in? sC the contract for its use of
fences around lots owned by the city. As a
jjiaTter of fact. Mr. Aitken recommended
■| r> a? p of the fences by the company
•.tinued."
The Controller showed a report by Mr.
Aitken 6aying that two billposting com
panies were prepared to pay a substantial
increase lor the privileges, and recom
mending that the American company be ad
lowed to retain Its privileges until a higher
off* r had been secured. At the bottom of
the report was written in the Controller's
handwriting:
'•The American Billpostir.g Company must
pay as much as any one else will. If the
present arrangements can be revoked I
want Id know it."
"So far as any personal interest in the
company Is concerned," said the Controller,
"a man I have known for fifteen years re
marked fes me some days ago that he had
sti interest In the company. That is all I
know about it."

WANTS FATHER AND HIS TOE
Both Absent 23 Years, but Abdul
Howat Is Still on Search.
Abdul Howat, boatswain of the steamship
Bloernfontein, i» thlrty-thre« years old.
When he was ten years old hie father took
him up the Nile before a camp of sheiks
and requested that a small crocodile newly
captured please bite oft th© big toe of Ab
dul's right foot. The sheiks, with aH kind
ness, made the reptile do the father's bid
ding, and now Abdul is looking for the old
man, who. he says, still has his toe. That
was twenty-three years ago, and Abdul has
learned much since then. The sacred cere
mony of nipping off one of his pedal digits
Is no longer of Interest to Abdul. He wants
the toe, and. moreover, he wants to meet
the father who forced him to part with It.
Abdul, who is employed as boatswain for
his seamanship and knowledge of foreign
tongues, came ashore yesterday to search
the rialto for Father Howat. He has been
looking for him for twenty-three years.
Ills wanderings in search of toe and father,
he said, would have made the late Ulysses
blush. They have taken him Into for
bidden Tibet and thrice around the world.
He said yesterday that after being relieved
of the necessary toe. the loss of which even
now somewhat impedes his walking, hla
father hung It about his paternal neck, tie.l
with a thong of camel hide. Then in ex
change for the trinket Father Howat tied
about his son's neck a piece of parchment,
a sort of receipt, as it were, bearing th»
word "LAshtlzia."
Several months ago Abdul met a Syrian
at Suez who told him he ha., seen his
father with some Arabs in a circus in
America., and that the same old to<=> was
stlil dangling from the same old place.
The Bloemfonteln came in several day."
ago from the Orient via Boston, with forty
three cases of antiquities for the Museum
of Natural History. If he finds it Abdul
says he will contribute the toe to the mu
seum.
CHURCH ARMY NEW NAME
Outgrowth of Injunction Against
American Salvation Army.
The American Church Army, which, It
is understood, is the same organization
which was restrained from using the name
of the American Salvation Army, obtained
a certificate of incorporation yesterday
from Justice Giegerich.
The petition says the American Church
Army Is "to be a religious organization,
military In its methods, organized for the
support of public worship of Almighty God
according to the faith, doctrine, discipline
and usages of the American Church Army;
to carry the Gospel to and evangelize the
unchurched masses by opening up
churches, stations, posts, corps and mis
sions among them; to reach and uplift all
sections of the people who have not hith
erto been reached or affected by any exist
ing religious organizations, and bring them
to the immediate knowledge and active
service of God; to visit and minister unto
the sick, helpless and needy."
The directors are Thomas Clark, of No.
14 Folsom Place, Brooklyn: Adam Klopfel,
Brooklyn; William S. Simpson, Clason's
Point; Myrtle Simpson, Clason's Point;
Mary Ann Lally. The Bronx: Henry Bark
er and Jane Barker, No. 613 East 136 th
street.
After a long suit at law the Appellate
Division of the Supreme Court recently
upheld the application of the Salvation
Army in the L'nited States, the Booth or
ganization, for an Injunction restraining
the organizers of the American Salvation
Army from using that name.
GOVERNMENT OUT $500,000
Judgments Against Hollander,
Who May Be in Canada.
Judgments for $29,62103 were entered
yesterday against Alexander Hollander, the
customs broker who fled to escape arrest
on charges of defrauding the government
by making false entries of importations.
It was said at the Custom House yester
day that Hollander was still at large, liv
ing in Canada, but keeping out of the way
of the United States officers.
The government will be able to levy on
about $2,500 worth of property. That Is
about all it will be able to recover to sat
isfy the ludgments=, which are only a small
part of the amount which the government
would like to collect.
li was said that the customs department
lost about $500,000 by Hollander's operations.
His books have been in the possession of
the customs authorities for over six
months.
Hollander was summoned to the Custom
House and interrogated regarding the en
tries which were under investigation, show
ing that he acted as agent for Henry
Clews. Htes Julia Marlowe, Edward Eran
dus, Harry Payne Whitney. Samuel F.
Valentine and many others, and that there
»' re what Bwemed to have been erroneous
entries in each instance. When the magni
tude of the case became apparent Hol
lander had left the country.

Saves Several Thousand Dollars.
Two burglars thought to have been bent
on stealing the cash taken in on Saturday
and Sunday at the Market street station
of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Newark,

terday. While the burglars failed to get
any cf the railroad company's money, they
ori^d from the front of the station a poor
box of St. Michael's Church containing a
few dollars.
Boettner was counting several thousand
dollars. Glancing upward, he saw dangling
from a window at the platform level, a
story above him. a piece of rope, Then he
saw two men alx>ve the grating, and one
of them was about to swine; himself in
to slide down the rope. Boettner seized his
revolver and pointed it at the two men.
One of them hurled a heavy irom clamp
at Bof-ttner, but It missed him.
Boettner then sounded the alarm As
several policemen ran up the two men
dashed away.

COHALAN MIKES REPLY
Special Franchise Tax Counsel
Explains Records.
NEW YORK CENTRAL MATTER
Statement Issued Yesterday
Substitutes fcfew York &
Harlem Railroad.
Daniel F. Cohalan explained yesterday
that, In hi 3 bill against the city for legal
cervices in connection with the franchise
tax assessments his charge for the work
on the matters of the New York Central &
Hudson Riv^r Railroad, which was shown
by The Tribune to have previously paid lbs
franchise taxes for the years in question,
was meant to cover the special franchise
taxes assessed against the New York &
Harlem Railroad, of which the New York
Central & Hudson River Railroad is lessee.
Unfortunately, in his deposition he stated
that his work was on New York Central
franchises, and as his designation by
the Attorney General made separate state
ment of the New York Central and the New
York & Harlem matters there was noth
ing available in the record to show that the
charge in question had anything to do with
the latter company.
Mr. Cohalan also pointed out that though
many of the proceedings were not carried
to completion during his term of office he
should have credit for the work done in
connection with them. In its article yester
day The Tribune particularly pointed out
that fact, saying:
"Some of the cases on which Mr. Cohalan
v.-as employed were not settled until after
his designation was revoked, but have since
been settled by others. Some other cases
are still pending. In these cases it may
weli be that Mr. Cohalan rendered valuable
services tending toward the settlement,
even though he did not effect it, and of
course was entitled to fair compensation
for the work." .
Mr. Cohalan's statement, as issued, was
as follows:
My attention has Just been called to an
article in this morning's Tribune about the
special franchise proceedings of which I
had charge some time since. The article
has very greatly confused the facts; for
Instance, the New York Central & Hudson
.River Railroad Company matters referred
to in my statement were those having to
do with the special franchise taxes assessed
against the New York & Harlem Kailroad
Company in the Borough of Manhattan, of
which the New York Central Railroad Com
pany is the lessee, and an examination of
the records will readily disclose the fact
that until 19C9 no payment on account of
these special franchise matters was made
by the New York Central company.
As to tne other matters, the questions at
issue had to be tried and disposed of, even
though the amounts involved in any one
case were comparatively small, as the de
cisions tended to settle principles applicable
to many other cases. .
Further than that, the proceedings would
not necessarily be stopped even where
payments were made, as if an amount were
paid greater than the amount finally held
to be due a refund would be made and In
terest prevented from running in the in-
The Tribune, to bo fair, should state that
the assessments in the proceedings of which
I had charge against the various corpora
tions amounted to over $1,200,000,000 and the
taxes thereon to about $20.'T00,000, and the
proceedings had to do with most of the
public utility franchises in the city.
In the nature of things, these proceed
ings could not be all carried to a conclusion
in any denned period, but credit should be
given" for the work done therein.
RAISE ZOOLOGICAL FUND
Society Will Fill Stipulated
$250,000 by July 1.
The completion of the $250,000 endowment
fund of the New York Zoological Society
by July 1, the stipulated time, is now prac
tically assured. Madison Grant, chairman
of the executive committee, said yesterday
that the fund now amounted to $230,555.
Among the recent contributions were six
$5,000 subscriptions, from Henry A. C. Tay
lor. George J. Gould, Hugh Chiehnlm. John
D. Archbold, Frederick B. Browne and
Charles F. Dietrich. Another contribution,
of $2,500, came from Grant B. Schley. and
smaller subscriptions to tlie amount of
$3,065 have also been received.
The announcement was also made of the
appointment of Professor Raymond C. Os
burn, of the department of zoology of Co
lumbia University, as assistant director of
the New York Aquarium. Professor Os
burn has recently spent much time at the
Naples aquarium.
The plans for the new aquarium build
ings are now in preparation, and the ap
pointment of an assistant director to help
Dr. Charles H. Townsend, the director, is
only a move in the direction of the future
development of the aquarium.

NO LOAN OFFER-KEENE
Denies He Promised Haskins
$300,000 on Hocking Stock.
AGAIN ON WITNESS STAND
Head in a Whirl, He Says, Over
Constant Examination in
Pool Proceedings.
Did James R. Keene promfsr Henry 8.
Haskins a large loan with Hocking stock
as collateral on the eve of the Hocking pool
collapse? This was the question asked in
several forms by Abram I. Elkus. attorney
for the trustee for the Lathrop, Haskins &
Co. creditors, which Mr. Keene emphatically
denied yesterday at the Lathrop, Hawkins &
Co. hearing before Referee Dexter.
"Did you tell Mr. Haskins that you would
secure for him $300,000 on the security of
3,500 shares of Hocking?" asked Mr. Elkus.
"No."
"Did you not promise to get five brokers
who would lend tho money on this stock?"
"No," said Mr. Keene in a loud voice.
"You did not promise a loan?"
"No." shouted the witness.
Mr. Keene, however, repeated his former
testimony that he had offered to take 1,500
shares of Hocking if Mr. Haskins would
get other friends to subscribe. In answer
to other questions he denied with fervor
time and again that he ever talked with
Mr. Haskins about a loan.
Mr. Elkus wanted to know -whether Mr.
Keene had taken the 1,500 shares, and when
Mr. Keene replied In the negative he want
ed to know why.
"Because he did not deliver them," said
the witness. "I suppose that I would have
taken them If. Haskios had come in on
January 19 and told me that he had found
members of the pool who were willing to
take the other 2,000 shares which he had
mentioned the night before."
"Didn't Mr. Haskins say on the morning
of January 19 that the drop in Hocking
would break him and Fiske?" asked Mr.
Elkus.
"No."
"Didn't you say TVhy should It?" " con
tinued Mr. Elkus undisturbed.
"That was the night before. He said that
it would bring down some members of the
pool," corrected Mr. Keene.
Mr. Keene Insisted that no orders were
given through him to Hugh F. Criss. who
bought 7,000 shares of Hocking on the 19th.
He said that he had ordered Haskins to
buy 5,000 shares through pool members.
"When you talked with Mr. Haskins over
the "phone, did he tell you that he had
given an order to Criss to purchase 700
shares at every quarter point the stock
fell?"
"Yes," said Mr. Keene. "He told me
something: about a little sale order he had
placed with Criss, but I told him to buy
5,000 shares through members of the pool
only, and that cancelled any order that he
might have given before."
The witness said it was a "human impos
sibility" to get a loan on Hocking at
the time.
The examination was postponed then for
three weeks, much to Mr. Keene" s delight,
who complained that he had been exam
ined so much in the Hocking pool proceed
ings that his head was ' # in a whirl." If he
should be unable to attend the hearing set
for July 18, at 2 p. m., on account of ab
sence, the hearing will be further postponed
until his return from Europe, whither he
purposes going.
Mr. Keene's bookkeeper and Edward Pop
per, of Popper & Sternbach, will be exam
ined to-day at 3:30 p. m. Popper has been
threatened with contempt of court 1{ he
persists further in refusing to answer cer
tain questions which, it is expected, will be
asked him this afternoon.

Wish we could shcot off a
sale like this every day.
21,500 pairs of pure silk
socks at 35 cents a pair.
Last summer we got from
one of our German manu
facturers some pure silk soch
which we sold at 50 cents.
That was then an unheard of
price for all-silk socks, and the
13,000 pairs, which were all we
could get, were all too few.
Since then there' have been
some other good silk socks sold
at 50 cents, so we decided we
must do better.
Increased competition ar. ■
German manufacturer helped
us, not to speak of the scare
they've had from the prodi»>
tion of competing lin^ .
xVmerica.
Result— to-day's blast, fof
which we've been preparing for
months.
These socks are ideal
with those we sold last season at
50 cents.
They are pure silk by our
own test.
Very thin, as fashion de
mands.
Nine plain colors, with plenty
of blacks.
35 cents a pair.
