CLOGS IN MILL OF LAW
Receiving Teller Hustled from
One Court to Another.
MAGISTRATES WERE ALL SHY
After Hearing Larceny Charge
Each Decided He Had No
Jurisdiction.
Cornowall A. Arnold, the young assistant
receiving teller of the Hudson River branch
„' the Corn Exchange Bank, at Columbus
»v<?nue and 72d street, is still confined at
Headquarters on a charge of stealing J1.455.
The. young man, under the able guidance
of The detective force, tried hard to break
Jr.- a r«*al jail yesterday, but fate drove
him in a vicious circle.
Up. had been arrested Friday afternoon in
th* offices of th«» Guarantee Company of
America, st No. 111 Broadway, hut th» al
l«-g«»d th*>ft had been committed at the
bank's TCd street branch. Those in au
thority ax Headquarters, here Arnold wa?
locked -up for the night, decided that h»
should h*> tJiken up to the "West Side court,
in 54th ... near Ninth avenue.
After a lone complaint had been drawn
up find several Cray headed bank officers
had sworn to statements, the procession,
consisting of the prisoner. E. C. Stringer, a
detective, and three complainants, started.
But once in court Magistrate Frrschi re
fused 19 hoar the case on the ground that,
he had no jurisdiction over a man arrested
In lower Broadway.
Stringer then rushed Arnold and h!s
retinue down to the Tombs court, only to
find that the magistrate sitting there had
eon* for the day. Lieutenant Lang, how
evt-r. offered the consoling suggestion that
Jefferson Market court was an accommo
dating place, so over to Jefferson Market
lac eager jail seekers hurried.
Another long set of complaint papers was
drawn up and carefully perused by Magis
trate House. Love's labor lost: lie had
ho more jurisdiction over the rase this
magistrate decided, than had Magistrate
. I- res oh J. Again the papers were torn up.

Chief MapistrntS BteAdoo was appealed
to over the t*>lPrlWßi. He told the proces
sion to" repair. to IA court In the old Mul
berry Ftr«>J - : Hea4f«Rft«* building for a
*p«atel bearing. Th« tatMT consisted of re
mandinjr : Arnold bark to Headquarters
until the Tombs court should open again.
Walter EL Frew, vice-president of the
Corn' ExchanKe Bank, said the prisoner
had confessed to taking two sums from
the bank, one of $1,000 and the other $455,
about two weeks ago. These amounts, the
vice-president raid, had been brought to
the bank by two depositors, to. be .placed
to their credit. When the depositors came
to draw checks against the amounts they
were told, he said, that their accounts were
overdrawn. • They -were able to prove, how
ever, that the amounts had been deposited
and had passed through Arnold's hands.
An investigation followed, resulting in the
arrest of the young: assistant teller, who
had boon summoned to Its offices by the
Guarantee company, which had gone on
his bond to the .bank.
Both Mr. Frew and Lawrence Dunham,
manager of the hank's Hudson River
branch, said yesterday the entire shortage
amounted only to the two amounts named.
"We have gone, over every one of the five
thousand accounts on our books," Mr. Dun
ham said, "and we have found them all In
tact with the exception of the two Arnold
admits he tampered with."
The young prisoner entered the employ
of the bank as a boy nino year? ago and
was liked and trusted. He is now twenty
five years old. Although he said his pa
rents were in England, it was learned that
ho has been living with his mother and
Fist or at No. 541 West 123 d street, where,
neighbors say. he bore a good reputation.
The bank officers are inclined to think he
got into dissipated company and^ stole to
keep up the pave. . ' »
TO SUE FOR USE OF BRIDGE.
With a view of taking out an injunction
asainst the city from interfering with the
use of the new Madison avenue bridge over
the Harlem River for the operation ot
their cars, Adrian EL Joline and Douglas
Robinson, receivers of the Metropolitan
Street Railway Company, got leave yes
terday from Judge Lacombe, in the United
States Circuit Court, to proceed in the

ceivers say they have the right to use the
bridge. under the franchise granted in ISSa
to the Xew York & Harlem Railroan. and
the lease of that road to the Metropolitan.
NEW- YORK DAILY TRIBUNE;' SUNDAY. DECEMBER <■ IMP.
BIFURCATED SKIRT DRAWS
Mrs. Webster-PoweJl Proves To
Be Magnet at Reception.
Garment Attracts People Away
from Hostess in Governor's
Room, City Hall.
If the solemn gentlemen In the portrait."
on the walls of the Governor's Room in
the City Hall had not been so much in th»
habit of maintaining dignified silence they
would have exchanged some excited re
marks yesterday when hobble skirts and
willow plumes invaded their decorous
haunts. Later they might even have picked
up their coattaUs and flew.
It all looked very innocent on the pro
gramme, too. so the famous statesmen
were taken quite without warning. It was
booked as a reception to Mrs. Kliza Little.^
who has been the gracious hostess of the
Goversor's Room in the City Hall for
eighteen years, and the Public Good So
ciety was the hostess.
Tt began very decorously, too. There
was an address by the Rev. Mr. James R.
Wflpson. chaplain of the Old Guard and
cliaplain to Btrangers, who won the grati
tude of the strangers by explaining how
Mrs. Little came to the rescue of the Gov
ernor's R'mm when it was threatened by
the advancing tides of city business, how
she offered her services free of charge as
custodian of those portraits and bits of
antique furniture, and then how happily it
.-ill ended when Mrs. Russell Sage gave
145,490 for the expenses. So the old room
was restored to the glory in which tbej'
shone when the portraits were still new,
and Mrs. Little has been at home there
ever since.
■ After this address a string orchestra
played a romnnzo by Grieg as an intro
duction to Mrs. Alma Webster- Powells
singing of "Mysterious Love" from "Tra
viata."
Before sir.cring Mrs. Webster-Powell
laughingly said she would have to intro
duce herpelf. Th»n she referred to her
divided skirts, saying: "The Public Good
Society would likp to reform everything,
and if its president wanted to reform her
self, shed have a life task, beginning with
her skirts."
The gentleman on the wall were sur
prised.
What Tva-s th<= matter with her skirts 0
they wondered, bat the crowd was so
dense all around the president of the Pub
lic Good Society that all they could see
were the six willow plumes on her hat.
Mayor Gaynor had been invfted to be
present, but the prospect was too much
for him. He sent a gracious little note,
instead. Borough President George Me-
Aneny went so far as to let his name ap
pear on the programme, but he was taken
ill. so he sent a letter, too. William A.
Prendergast, the Controller, also was un
a'r.le to attend. Ke sent a secretary.
Mrs. Webster-Powell, though, was right
on the spot -when it came her turn to
speak on "Our American Woman." Things
were pretty good here, in spite of the hob
ble skirts, she admitted.
After some more music the reception
crush began, and it was then that the dig
mfird statesmen on the walls bejeran to feel
uneasy. A swarm of interested women
dragged Mrs. Webster-Powell off the line
Into a recess between George Washington's
desk and the grand piano and made her
show off her costume, especially the lower
part of it.
To begin at the very bottom; she held up
for inspection a foot incased in a black
velvet boot with a very high hoe!.
"I don't see anything reformed about
that." muttered a woman in a rose-colored
hobble gown.
But the "Webster-Powells" themselves
were the real thing. A loiig black velvet
"coat.'" which looked for ai! the world like
a princess gown until one discovered that
it buttoned all the way up the front, was
pulled back, upon the urgent request of the
bystanders, and there they were!
Black satin ■•Webster-Powells," embroid
ered with jet. that was all; yet the woman
who wore them could attract a whole Gov
ernor's Room full of people away from
their regretful hostess.
With those bifurcated garments, which
have made her famous. Mrs. Webster-Pow-.
ell declared, that she could solve the prob
lem of the high cost of living; for although
they looked as if they cost $500, they are
guaranteed to wear forever.
There was ore lille man present — the only
ono — and he seemed to have no interest in
the reformed costume. He is evidently
growing bald. it was Mr. "Webster-Powell.
HIGGINBOTHAM'S SUCCESSOR
Mayor Appoints C. J. Dodd Mag
istrate to Fill Vacancy.
Mayor Gaynor yesterday appointed Ex-
Munlcipal Court Justice Charles J. Dodd,

Jockey Club's Secretary.
Buffalo. He.. 3. -Former Congressman
James W. Wadsworth. sr.. was in Buffalo
to-day on private business. Referring to
the testimony given in New York yesterday
by Frank K. Sturgis. secretary-treasurer of
the Jockey Club, that Judge E. P. Coyne
had received HM* f|1!"f |1! " lp « al services bi
connection with the affairs of the racing
association and that he. had been recom
mended by Speaker Wadsworth of the State
Assembly. Mr. Wadsworth. sr.. said:
"It was not my son, but myself who
recommended Judge Coyne to the Jockey
Club as a good man to engage as counsel
to fight the ra-e hills. Judge c O yne was
a resident of our county and I have known
him Intimately for years. 1 recommended
him as I would have recommended him to
any association, solely because I knew him
to possess splendid legul ahillty.
"I notice that one of the witnesses stated
that ho was suggested by my son, the
Speaker, but 1 think he must have mis
understood the matter. "
Mr. Sturgis was asked tf it was not
Speaker Wndsworth's father who had
recommended Judge Coyne, and he replied
mat it was the Speaker himself who had

BELMONT WANTS HEARING
To Take Stand Again in the
Legislative Graft Hunt.
August Belmont, chairman nf trie Jockey
Club, who in that capacity has had on'
session on the witness stand of the. legis
lative Investigating committee, said yes
terday that he would insist upon appearing
before the commi f tee again, to clear up
the points that were put up to him by
Frank K. Hturgis, secretary-treasurer of
the Jockey Club, in his testimony given on
Friday.
"There is a great deal of misapprehen
sion about my connection with the affairs
of the club," said Mr. Belmont. "and I will
demand to he heard in the matter before
the committee. I cannot pro into the mat
ter without carefully examining the, evi
dence given by Mr. Sturgis and others. 1
ian only repeat that there has hern a
mistake."
Meanwhile, Isidor Kresel, assistant coun
sel to the committee, ami the one who
rircw the admissions from Mr. Sturgis. was
busily at work yesterday on the books of
the .Inrkey Club, preparing a t^w questions
for Mr. Belmont. K;sed on the Sturgis an 1
Daingerfield testimony. Ho was glad to
hear that Mr. Belmont wanted to go back
on the stand. "Of course. It's the only
thing fcr him to do now."' he commented.
From the testimony of the Friday ses
sion, together with the inferential totals
based on that evidence, Mr. Belmont will
be asked first to explain the details of the
disbursement of the 1123.000 fund, which it
would appear from the contribution of the
Metropolitan Jockey Club was raised in
1908 for "legal expenses." Added to that,
in the same j ear, is the fund of $40,000,
which was kept in a special account, of
which Mr. Sturgip was custodian, hut
which, be testified, he disbursed only by
checks to Mr. Delmont under his direction.
According- to Mr. Sturgis'p testimony, Mr.
Belmont is the one man to. enlighten the
committee upon the dismirscment of at
least Jl'jS.'jOO by the racing interests in 1908!
and the committee proposes to sX' <* Mr.
Belni"M the opportunity.
CITY WINS ASPHALT CASE
Fifteen-Year Repair- Clause in
Contracts Sustained.
Something like $500,000 will be saved to
the city on repairs to asphalt pavements if
the- verdict of a jury of the Supreme Court
in a test case before Justice l«"oote is up
held by the higher courts. The plaintiff in
the case at issue was the ' Asphalt Paving
aivt Construction Company, which sought
to recover money withheld on a contract
which was to cover repairs for five years.
The city has always let asphalt contracts
with the proviso that the company laying
the pavement must keep it in repair for
fifteen years. Thirty per cent of the con
tract price has been withheld to cover the
repairs.
In the n c f tried before Justice Foote the
r.riginal contractor was the Warren-Scharff
Company, which assigned its rights vndf-r
tb>- contract to several other concerns, the
plaintiff assuming part of th*> contract. In
tin eleventh year of the contract the As
pltalt Paving and Construction Company
refused to male the required repairs, <>n
the ground that the repairs were noee.-:sary
because the city had the asphalt laid over
cobblestones, and not because of any de
fei t in the pavement itself.
justice Foote refused to set aside the
verdict in favor of thp city, saying that the
company had ample iime to find out that
the pavement would have In be laid over the
old sinnf block paving. The court said
that the company could not be relieved of
Its "Hipatiin to keep th<=- pavement in re
pair.

IGNORE SCHOOLBOYS' STRIKE
Jersey City Officials to Let Truant Offi
cers Handle Situation.
Tbn Jersey City Hchool officials decided
yesterday to take no action in the case of
the thirty boy pupils of School 21 who
went on a strike Friday afternoon Because
they were not transferred to the new model
school that -will be opened to-morrow. It
was said that the offenders would magnify
their importance and fancy they were of
the heroic type if a special investigation
was ordered, and it would tend to Incite
riotous demonstrations at other schools.
It is expected that the rebellious spirits
will quietly capitulate. If they do not ra
port at No. 4 school to-morrow the truant
officers will be informed and the usual
course will be followed. If , there is any
beach of the peace th« police will attend
to it and prosecute the offenders, as they
did in the case of the one striker who

MINSTRELSY NOW PASSE
Primrose, of the "Burnt Cork,"
Can't Pay Much Alimony.
OLD 'GAGS' NO LONGER TAKE
The Former .Minstrel's Defence
* Against Wife's Suit Up
held by Court.
There was a time when . "tambo and
bones" in ■ minstrel show. could make a
large metropolitan audience sit tip and take
notice with the "Why does a hen cross the
street?" and other "gags." But that was
long ago, in the primrose days of minstrel
sy. Most of the famous minstrels hay»
gone, as well as the old jokes.
Some interesting facts in connection -with
the decline of the former American insti
tution have become public in the matri
monial troubles of George if. rrimrose. who
for years had followed the burnt cork pro
fession. It was seven years ago that he
played his last engagement # at the head of
a minstrel troupe.
.Now he is appearing in vaudeville, but
he* bewails the scarcity of engagements.
All he has now. Primrose says. is about
$".1,000. of which r.mount only $1,509 is In
cash. Some of the money is in city bonds,
some in Mount Vernon ; property, and the
rest in Oregon property.
It was the Oregon property that was
partly responsible for the troubles between
Primrose- and his wife, who was Miss Es
ther Neraey, a concert singer. He wanted
to go to the Western state- to attend to
some business interests, but his wife pre
ferred to remain in Mount Vernon. which
has been their home.
- Mrs.' £ Primrose sued the minstrel for a
separation on the ground of abandonment.
He explained that his business took him
away from, home. Mrs.. Primrose asked for
largy alimony, but, on the affidavit of
Primrose, Justice McCall has allowed her
only $20 a week, saying that her. husband
had treated her liberally. . x
Primrose, who was a. widower when he
married his present wife, said that h°i had
gnen, her property in Mount Vexnon worth
$58,000, but on which there was an en
cumbrance of $38,000. Beside?, lie saH
Mrs. Primrose had four diamonds which
belonged to him, and which were valued,
he said, at fo.ooo. Th» furnishings of th«
Mount Vernon home, the minstrel man said,
were worth $10,000.
Primrose declared that ft was no l^nsrer
-.rrrth while for a man i'> otrn a minstrel
shr.w. The last year that h* had a show
on the road, he said, it cost him |20,000,
while a few years before that he l"st
$25,000.
Primrose has, therefore, been playing
vaudeville engagement, and he stated in
his affidavit that Ii? has bejen receiving
5600 a week. But the engagements have
been short ones. He has one now for four
weeks, and while he had hoped to hitch up
for a sixteen weeks' engagement, he said
that the prospects were anything but rosy.
The ?600 a week was not so much. " the
former minstrel said, because "out of that
he had to pay his own travelling expenses
and hit el bills, besides paying the salaries
of several persons that he carried with
him.
Primrose said h<» had lived extravagantly
at home, spending $10,004 a year.
Justice McCall decided that the husban-1
had the rignt to elect where his wife wa*
to live, and that if Mrs. Primrose did not
consent to go to < >regon. where the hus
bands business interests called him. it wa3
her lopp. »
LEDERLE FOR PURER MILK
Commissioner of Health Wants
High Grade Fluid for Babies.
Much that might tend to caus*- an ab
horrence of milk drinking was
day afternoon at the third session or v. •
Conference on Milk Problems un<l?r th«
auspices of the New York Milk Committee
in the United Charities Building. The pro
ceedings, however. Indicated the great
progress that has been made and Is yet fo
be made for the fmprovement of the milk
supply in New York City and for the edu
cation of the public to a proper use of milk
for infant feeding.
Dr. Ern&t J. Lederle. Commissioner ot
Ifeailh, who was asked to preside at ihe
afternoon session, was absent on iccbnnt
of illness. His address, "The Present
Method of Sanitary Control of New York
City's Milk Supply, with Suggested Plans
for Improvements," was read by Dr. Will
iam H. Park, director of the research
laboratory of the New York Health De
partment-
Dr. Lederle maintained that certified and
guaranteed milk needs no defence. Certi
fied milk, ha said, represented less than 1
per cent of the total milk supply of the
city. .The problem, he said, was to make
the other 99 per cent reasonably safe.
The city's supply, according to Dr. Led
trle, comes from -11.000 farms in six states,
from fifty to four hundred miles away.
Thirty-three inspectors are employed to
regulate inspection of dairy farms supply
ing the 1,600.000 quarts snipped dally.
The duty of th« Health Department in
*• relation to the milk supply has to do
especially with the death rate among in
fants." said Dr. Lederle. "I believe that
through the press and every other avenue
of publicity this statement should be
given:
"Milk for babies— Grade 1. certified or
guaranteed, which may be fed raw; Grade
2, Pasteurized milk: and, further, that safe
pasteurized milk for babies should be milk
produced on farms where at least 75 per
c«»nt of the sanitary requirements nave
been complied with. Such milk should not
contain more than 100,000 bacteria a cubic
centimetre."
