CITY BAM HELD UP
MAN SHOT IS DYING.
Four Poles Adopt Jesse James
Tactics and Two Get Away.
A wtl] planned bank hold-up in typical
■Western style occurred yesterday shortly
after noon In the banking and money ex
change ofnee of Hyman Korn, at No. 1020
Manhattan avenue. VTilliamsburg.
Two men walked into the banking office
ard with drawn revolvers commanded
Se'.ig Korn, a brother of the proprietor,
to hand over all the money in ths cafe,
• — 'amounting to $2,000, and falling to get it
■hot and mortally wounded him. The
hold-up came at a time when the 6treets
were crowded \*lth children who had been
dismissed at the noon recess from two
public schools In the neighborhood.
Korn was In the place at the time with
bis brother, the proprietor, who had Just
returned from luncheon. There were also
two young women in the rear of the place
doing clerical work, while the cashier,
Kenry Hollander, was behind his desk.
When the two robbers entered they
stepped up to the window where Hollander
was and demanded all the money in the
safe. Sellg, who was near the cashier,
overheard the demand and rushed out from
, behind to grappie with the robbers. As
he did so the youngest of them, who
afterward said he was L-azana Marios,
seventeen years oJd, without a home,
pointed his revolver at Selig. and as the
latter grabbed for it Mados shot him in
the throat.
The other robber didn't shoot, but turned
to run out. Korn had fallen, and the
shouting of the clerk and two women
caused Mados to also make all haste to
ircl away. Many persons in the street had
ht-ard the shooting and the screams of the
women and caught hold of the robbers.
Then it became known that the bandits
had two accomplices in the street. These
also had revolvers, which they began to
discharge in the air to terrify the crowd.
Marcus Baer, an Insurance agent of Xo.
tX Mar.!;attan avenue, received a wound In
his forehead from a glancing bullet.
Whtn the accomplices had emptied their
revolvers, after having imperilled the lives
of many school children, they ran away,
going down Greene street in the direction
of the East River. They escaped, but the
other two were held by the crowd, after
having fought desperately, until Policemen
Robinson and Graham appeared. They
placeJ the men under arrest and took them
at once to the Greenpoint avenue police
station.
Meanwhile, a hurry call was sent to the
■WiiUamsburg Hospital for an ambulance,
which brought Dr. L>aub. He found Korn
dying and luet no timo in taking him to the
hospital. On tl»e way the ambulance
stopped in front of the police station, where
the tv.o prisoners were brought out to the
sidewalk, and as Dr. Laub raised the dying
man's head the latter looked at the pris
oners and said that they were his assail
ants. .
The other prisoner besides Mados was
John Fischer, thirty years old, who also
6aid he had no home. He declared to the
police that he was led to do wrong by
Mados and the two other men, whose iden
tity was unknown to him.
The police learned that the prisoners had
been noticed for more than a. week loiter
ing near the banking office. All of them
•were Poles, as were also Korn. the pro
prietor of the bank, and his brother who
was shot.

MR. ACKERT RESIGNS.
Goes to Hartley System, In
stead of Replacing Shouts.
Charles H. Ackert resigned yesterday as
vice-president and general manager of the
Southern Railway Company, the resigna
tion becoming effective on January 15, when
he will become vice-president in charge of
maintenance and operation of the Chicago
a: Alton, Toledo. St. Louis & Western,
lowa Central and Minneapolis & St. Louis
railroads, commonly known as the Haw
ley lines. This effectively disposes of a
recent report that he was to succeed Theo
dore P. Shonts as president of the Inter
borough Rapid Transit Company.
The announcement of Mr. Ackert's resig
nation from the Southern Railway was made
in Washington by President Finley. E.
H. Chapman, manager of the road, it was
said, would succeed Mr. Ackert as vice
president and general manager. The of
fice of manager will be abolished.
Following the announcement from Wash
ington, Mr. Shonts, who, besides being
head of the local transit system, is presi
dent of the Hawley roads, announced Mr.
Ackert's new connection.
When the rumor that Mr. Shonts would
retire as head of the Interborough system
and that Mr. Ackert would succeed him
was circulated it was promptly denied In
official quarters. Mr. Shonts said he had
no Intention of resigning. The report per
sisted, however, until yesterday.
Mr. Ackert, who Is looked upon as one
of the best trained railroad men in the
country, has been In the railway service
since 1572, beginning as a telegraph oper
ator on the lowa Central, one of the four
roads to which he is now returning. In
ISSB he became general manager of the
company, holding that position until 189S,
when he resigned to accept the same
position on the Elgin, Joliet & Eastern
Railway. In 1901 he went to the Southern
Railway as general manager.
The four roads of which Mr. Ackert will
now be in practical command have Chicago
as a centre, and it is there that Mr. Ackert
will make his hea'dnuarters. As vice
president and general manager of the
Southern Railway his headquarters have
been in Washington.
WILD OPENING IN COTTON.
First Prices 14 to 42 Points Below
Wednesday's Last Figures.
The slump in cotton which began in the
last half hour of trading on Wednesday and
continued to the close, with a loss of more
than 60 points in some options, was followed
yesterday by one of the wildest openings in
the local cotton market since the Sully
year.
The first prices showed a decline of 14 to
42 points from the closing figures on
Wednesday, May dropping to 15.27 c, as com
pared with a final price of 15.60 con the pre
ceding day. July touched 15.20 c and March
15.04 c. Overnight calls for margin had
brought in heavy selling orders, which
added to the weakness of the market and
grave the bears further courage to hammer
the list.
After the initial selling movement had
6pent itself somewhat the bulls succeeded
ir. rallying prices about 10 points. E. G.
Scales, one of the big bull leaders, ap
peared personally on the floor to direct the
operations of his brokers, and under his
leadership prices rallied sharply. May sell
ing up to 15.47 c and March to 15.49 c, the
other options also recovering much of their
early loss.
There was another break around midday,
which again carried prices down to near the
low level of the morning, but In the late
afternoon heavy supporting orders came
into the market and prices again advanced.
The market closed steady at a net decline
of 22 points to an advance of 6 points.
New Orleans, Jan. 6.— Bears broke the
cotton future market again to-day, their
pressure resulting in a decline equivalent
to nearly $4 a bale.
This, coming on the heels of the sensa
tional slump of Wednesday, created what
almost amounted to a small panic among
some of the weakest of the long traders.
The eagerness of short interests to profit
by the slump, however, resulted In a de
cided recovery. Rumors from New York
and Liverpool that a clique had been
formed to put through a bear raid proved
somewhat demoralizing to the more timid
bulls.
Bull leaders declare that the situation
now rests principally with Southern spot
nolders. and that if they hold their cot
ton prices will continue to advance. The
bears, however, argue that as soon as
the spot holders realize that the market
is slumping they will begin to dispose of
their holdings.
BUYING SO. PAC. CONTROL.
U. P. Railroad Said To Be Increasing
Stock Holdings to 51 Per Cent.
The Union Pacific Railroad Company,
according to information received from
quarters that should be well informed in
vhe matter, has recently purchased consid
erable amounts of stock of the Southern
Pacific Company, with the purpose, it is
understood, of bringing its holdings in that
road up to 51 per cent of the total capital
Btcck.
This action has been taken, it is said, to
protect absolutely the Union Pacific in its
control of the Southern Pacific, and was
accomplished at this time to forestall any
legislation which might be enacted pro
hibiting common carrk rs from acquiring
Ktock in other roads. It is well known that
President 1 aft is in favor of some such
legislation, as he has made public an
rouncement of his views on the subject
on various occasions.
The Union Pacific, through the Oregon
Short Line, has for several years owned
approximately 46 per cent of the capital
stock of the Southern Pacific Company,
which, for all practical purposes, consti
tuted control.
MAYOR MOLLIFIES MR. SMITH.
Ex-Park Commissioner Satisfied v/ith
Mr. Gaynor's Explanation.
Ex-Park Commissioner Smith said yes
terday that Mayor Gaynor had vindicated
him in saying that he was not the com
missioner referred to as having employed
£5 foremen to boss 110 men.
"For more than eight hundred men in
the Park Department," said Mr. Smith, "I
had fewer than thirty-two foremen. I
don't know if any other commissioner had
some 'fossil' foremen. I did not."
Mr Smith said be had heard of the plans
of Clinton H. Smith, the • deposed board
secretary, to humiliate him if he appeared
at the Arsenal on the last day of his ad
ministration, but he added that the actions
of Clinton H. Smith were not bothering,
him.
Park Commissioners Michael J. Kennedy
of Brooklyn and Queens and Thomas J.
Higfe'ins of the Bronx were the only two
members of the Park Board present at the
meeting held yesterday at the Arsenal.
Acting Secretary Smith read the minutes
of the meeting of December M, which
contained— the resolution abolishing the
place of Assistant Secretary of the Park
Board, the position held by Colonel Smith.

FRIDAY, {^M^p^i ®ftIWW^ 5 : ; JANUARY 7, 1910-
PLAINS FOR CENSUS
FALCK BARS POLITICS.
Jr 'ill Establish New Basis for
Enumeration.
Albert Falck, supervisor of the federal
census for New York County, is busy out
lining his plan of campaign in a large suit©
of offices at No. 110 Broadway.
Applications for places as enumerators
are being received, and Mr. Falck wants
it understood that any one may expect
to have such an application receive at
tention up to January 25, when the list
will be closed. A formal examination will
be held on February 5, after which 1,500
names will be selected for the work In
hand.
"There is absolutely no politics in this
work," said Mr. Falck yesterday, 'and
merit alono will guide me in selecting my
enumerators. I want to have men con
versant with the language, manners and
customs of various quarters of the city,
so that we may send to each district a
man who will be most successful in get
ting information."
In former years the federal census has
been taken according to assembly election
districts, but this will be changed this
year. "We will try to divide the city up
Into forty-acre tracts as nearly as pos
sible," said Mr. Falck. "and we want to
have about approximately two thousand
inhabitants in each enumeration district.
The districts will be mapped out with these
two Ideas in mind. I have had one con
ference with the chief geographer of the
census and I have an assistant who will
devote himself to this branch of the work.
"We expect that the districts we map
out now will remain the basis for future
work along this line. They will be of
great value, in connection with the figures
for each district which we shall obtain,
to sociological and philanthropic workers.
There are a number of organizations of
that character that tell me they are wait
ing for the completion of our census in
order to map out new and more scientific
campaigns of betterment both for the city
as a whole and for its individual citi
zens."
Mr. Falck is starting a small campaign
of education among the foreign born citi
zens through publications in their lan
guages, so that they may understand that
the census is something from which they
will benefit and is not the workings of a
parental government trying tt> pry into
their affairs in a way which they learned
to abhor in their native lands.
The normal »ate of compensation for
enumerators is 2\? cents a name, but Mr.
Falck says he hopes to vary this in va
rious districts, according to the' difficulty
of the work, so that each enumerator may
be able to make the same amount as his
fellow, if such a thing is possible.
In addition to figures on population Mr.
Falck is also burdened with the duty of
getting the agricultural figures for this
county. So far, he says, he hasn't been
able to find any large farms, although
there are a few pastoral inhabitants in
The Bronx. Horses and cows, however,
come under Mr. Falck's jurisdiction, and
he expects to find a few "bossies" and
such horses as the automobiles have not
driven out of the city.
Mayor Gaynor has assured Mr. Falck
that he will do all in his power to assist
in the work of the census. Mr. Falck will
ask the Mayor to give him the use of
several public schools for the holding of
the examinations for enumerators.
GAS FRAUD CHARGED.
Brooklyn Lawyer Alleges Eva
sion of 80-Cent Law.
New Yorkers are not getting much bene
fit from the enactment of the 80-cent gas
law, if the complaint of Louis J. AHkrug,
a Brooklyn lawyer about the gas compa
nies is to be believed.
Mr. Altkrug, in a letter he wrote to Sen
ator Kissel, of Kings, on December 15, de
clares the companies have found a way
to evade the intention of the law and keep
up their profits by pumping air into the
gas mains. He says in his letter:
A comparison of gas bills of any large
number of consumers for the last seven or
eight year* will show that for the same
number of lights the gas bills are about
the same. In other words, through some
process the gas company is keeping up
the bills, where they oujcht to be 20 per
cent less. Of course, it stands to reason
that air blown through a pipe will cause
the motor to turn Just the same as cas,
hf-cause air is a form of gas and air
costs the pas company nothing! There
fore, of what use is the reduction in the
price of gas unless an agent is stationed
at the place where the gas is forced
through the mains to see that gas, and
not air, is forced through?
Senator Kissel sent the letter to the
Public Servi< < te Commission. The Sen
ator asked what might be done in the mat
ter. Chairman Wilirox, in his answer,
suggested that the Public Service Com
missions law be amended so that the com
mission could begin a proceeding upon the
complaint of on^ consumer or upon its
own motion. The law. as it stands, requires
complaint from the Mayor of the city or
from one hundred consumers in the case of
a gas or electric company, whereas the
commission can act either upon its own
motion or upon the complaint of one indi
vidual in the case of transportation com
panies.
Robert E. Livingston, of the Consoli
dated Gas Company, characterized the
letter as only one of a lot ot general at
tacks based on no specific case and de
serving no consideration from the com
mission. As air had no illuminating power
and would serve only to reduce the randle
power, he said, the complaint was ridicu
lous on its face. The gas had to b«- kept
up to a 22-candlepower standard, as re
quired by law.
CENTRAL'S REPLY BELITTLED.
Freight Diversion Not Feared by City's
Counsel in Track Removal Case.
At the final session of the hearing before
former Judge D. Oariy Herrick, referee In
the proceedings brought by the city for the
removal of the tracks of the New York
Central from Eleventh avenue, William B.
Burr, Assistant Corporation Counsel, said
yesterday that the declaration of Tra D.
Place, vice-president and genera] counsel
for th<- company, that if the tracks were
removed the railroad wouHJ be compelled
lo divert lU freighi to Boston and other
points for distribution should not be tukfii
seriously.
After a bitter wrangle between counsel
on the question of the pleadings, the ref
eree announced that he would decide the
whole matter on the questions as to
whether the company had any right to oc
cupy the street* of the city, ii such per
mission had lapsed in 1836, when the cor
porate existence of the Hudson River Rail
road Company expired, and whether the
operation of trains in Eleventh avenue and
other etroets in the city constituted a nui
sance.
"if these tracks are on the streets ille
gally they are a nuisance," said former
jud^e Charles F. Brown, speaking for the
railway company, -it they ait- there legal
ly they are not a nuisance. Even if their
operation constituted a nuisance, it would
not Justify the removal of the tracks. The
remedy would be to abate the nuisance, not
to tear up the tracks." '
In conclusion counsel said that the city
had no right to question the franchise at
all but that it was a mutter for the state
to decide. Referee Herrlck gave counsel
for both sides two days In which to fila
additional briefs. He will then make Mb
report to the Supreme Court la this city.
BOW KUM CASE IN
PROSECUTION RESTS.
Men Say The?/ Saxc Tang and
Shang Run from Girl's Room.
The state brought in a surfeit of ready
witnesses yesterday to swear right and
left that they saw Low Tang and Low
Shang come out of Bow Kum's room the
night in August when the Chinese girl
was found stabbed to death at No. 17
Mott street, and there rested its case. The
readiness of the testimony provoked a
satirical outburst from Terence McManus,
counsel for the defendants, and an ener
getic plea for a dismissal of the verdict
or instructions to the jury to bring In at
once a verdict of "Not guilty."
Justice Goff treated his application seri
ously, outlined a number of points where
the case of the prosecution was weak and
suspended court till this morning before
considering the motion.
Chin Lin. who brought Bow Kum from
San Francisco, was recalled to straighten
out some points left In dispute by his
earlier testimony. He did it with his usual
facility, speaking slowly through an in
terpreter, though he knows just enough
English to understand nearly everything
that is said to him. He was the first to
find Bow Kum's body. The door was
locked when he reached the room where
they lived, and he opened it with his key.
On finding the body he ran out. The door
had a spring lock, which snapped again
when he closed it.
Lucy Yung Hok swore to the story, al
ready told in the trial, that Low Tang
and Low Shang came to Chin Lin and
threatened to kill him and Bow Kum if
he did not pay $3,000 to Low Hong Fong,
from whom the girl had fled in San Fran
cisco. Yung Gal told the same story, quite
as impassively. He was a very cherub of
a Chinaman, with a round face that looked
as if it would like to be rosy if it could.
Before him Mr. McManus flung down
the bundle of sheath knives which ap
peared at Wednesday's session and de
manded what he knew about them. The
witness looked at them with an air of
almost shocked lack of appreciation.
"Never saw," was his reply. A huge
Colt automatic brought the same response.
All the weapons were taken from the
rooms at No. 22 Mott street where Yung
Gai lived.
Hong Fong headed the polite men who
saw the defendants run from the room
where Bow Kum lived and died. He was
living In the building at No. 17, he said,
and the night of the killing he went to
the room where Chin Lin and Bow Kum
lived. He wanted to get Chin Lin's laundry
for a friend of his in Brooklyn to wash
for him. It was "after 10 o'clock, more
near 11." He was in the room with the
girl for several minutes, when there was
a knock at the door.
Bow Kum opened it, and the two men
accused, Low Tang and Low Shang, came
in. Then Hong Fong went out. Turning
In the yard, h? saw that the window shade
in Bow Kum's room was "drawn down on
both sides." He had noticed that it was
half down when he was in the room.
Again "several minutes," and then Low
Tang and Low Shang ran from the build
ing. Their faces were greenish, and they
were very nervous.
On crois-examination it developed that
Hong Fong heard a voice before the two
men passed in. It was not loud, only a
groan, "Ah! ah!" and he paid no attention
to it. Low Tang wore a soft felt hat and
Low Shang a straw, and both had on the
Chinese dress.
Horn Hong, too. lived in No. 17 at the
time of the murder, and he had called at
Bow Kura's door at 8 o'clock. Later he
heard some one groan, and goipg down to
Bow Kum's door saw Low Tang and Low
Shang come out. Their faces were green
ish. Low Shang closed the door of Bow
Kum's room with his own hands. It was
not shut from the inside.
Low Choy saw the two men run out of
the rear of No. 17 between .10 and 11
o'clock. But he created the stir of the
day, even raising a flicker on the faces of
the Impassive interpreters, when, asked if
he were a member of the On Leong Tong,
he said, "Never heard of him."
Charlie Lee, too, lived in No. 17 rear,
and saw the two men run out of Bow
Kum's room. So did Lou Chue. They both
testified to that fact. Here Mr. McManus
lost his patience and exclaimed: "Were
you holding a mass meeting: in that hall?"
"No," said Lou Chue complacently.
Here the prosecution rested its case. Mr.
McManus then made hia motion for dis
missal or acquittal.
"A murderer might as well have gone
there with a brass band," he said, "as
when the whole of Chinatown was waiting
aroand to hear Bow Kum groan. All this
evidence is circumstantial and flimsy. All
the witnesses are confessedly prejudiced."
Justice Goff heard Assistant District At
torney Frank Moss on the point, and then
set forth his own views. It was three
hours, he pointed out, from the. time Bow
Kum was last seen alive till her dead
body was found. The evidence showing a
motive, including the threat of the two
men, was far from conclusive. He gave the
District Attorney until this morning to
prepare a further statement why the case
should not be dismissed.
HUSBAND IN JAIL; WIFE DEAD.
He May Inherit Her Share of Father's
$100,000 Estate.
Mrs. Margaret Kelly Milner, one of the
four daughters of the late "Lighthouse
DtUt" Kelly, the contractor, who once was
keeper of the North Brother Island light
house, was burled yesterday in St. Ray
mond's Cemetery, Westelusur, after ser
vices at her home' No. 305 East ltUst
street, and her husband, Frederick Milner,
twenty-seven years old, was in the work
house serving a six months' sentence, ig
norant of the fact that his wife had been
ill. She left no will, and Milner may in
herit her one-fourth share of her father's
$100,000 estate.
In December Mrs. Milner had her hus
band arrested and arraigned before Magis
trate House on a charge of disorderly con
duct. Milner was «o disrespectful in his
demeanor to the court that he was put un
dt-r $L',ooo bonds to insure his good be
havior lor six months. He could not get
the bail, and was sent to the island. He
had been separated from his wife for .some,
time, and recently hud been working as a
waiter.

We quite envy our long o pi
coats of rough fancy cheviots.
So many of them are #oinjjj
off on charming Winter tri:
Still, we cant blame them —
they're specially adapted for
traveling; and the plf ?n
into the reverse of the cloths
look so smart when the sea
breezes blow.
Some with military collar*.
The artist evidently admires
our Derbies so much that he
wants them to travel, to show
how fine American Derbies
can be.
For ourselves, we prefer soft
hats for traveling — cloth hats _
for instance: soft, but sticking
safely to the head, and indiffer
ent to rain.
$3 and $3.50.
"Double" shoes, water
proofed, are the tourist's ideal
footgear.
Double thickness all over,
each thickness separately
waterproofed, $5.50.
Oiled silk turned into the exposed seaass.
Steamer rugs, steamer
trunks, suit cases, dressing
cases and all requisites for the
'traveler.
Safety razora for shipboard us».
Speaking of travelers, our
traveling buyer picked up
abroad a very handsome collec
tion of neckwear silks.
These, with the rich neck
wear silks already here, equip us
to cater to the most fastidious
man who wants his scarfs made
to his special order, in his special
way. ' ;
