Immediately upon tho attempt of a man

mimed Caffney to hold up James C.

Stewart for 11C0.000 while Htewarfa bids

oil canal work wero pending before the

Mr. Sulzer testified that at luncheon In

Washington Senator O'CJomian told him

that after the attempted holdup of Stewart

the Senator went to Charles F. Murphy

hop Gaffney or ho would expose the Tain

nuny chief and that when Murphy said

he kn6W nothing about It the Senator told

him he knew Gaffney would not lmv gone

to Stewart unless Murphy had hent him.

Sulzer eworo that this conversation cen

tred about the. Governor's refusal to ap

point James V. Gaftucy Commissioner of

did not know that Gaffney was Murphy's

'TjflBUHW."

Joinea C. Stewart will be recalled as a

Vltnesi beforo Chief Magistrate McAdoo

litxt Wednesday, lie will be asked If It

ls not true that he knows Jumcs E. Qaff

nty very well and an opportunity will be

Riven to him to change his previous tea

t.mony, which was to tlio effect that he

hu never even met James U. Gaffney.

j.lkewlso he will bo atked If after the at

tempt to got 1100,000 from hhn he did not

. personally to Charles ! Murphy and

tc t him that he must "call err' Gaffney,

t .it unless tho Tammany chief did ho

iulil uxpoHo him and tliat Muijiliy need

i t t:y to "sidestep," because h know

i it Ganney would not have approached

Mi. Sulzer will then bo recalled. He

h.u alicady said that his memory has

that he knew It because Stewart had

'i a- point which tlifo Dlnti-lct Attorney

I'olicfiiun James Kenny, trudging

along James street at 10 o'clock last

night, heard horrendous sounds coming

rrom the market of tho Hrlghton lleef

burglars couldn't have made more nolsa

Kenny, remembering that a bomb went

off In front of this same market six

months ago and blew the,shre front to

patrolmen came running.

They stole up to the door with pistols

pointed. They lunged together and burst

In. Twenty-tlvo cats tied nt their ap

proach. The rnls wero of nil sizes and

color. They had been hungry, but were

tin longer. They had eatn every scrap

of meat In the market chicken and beef

and everything else, and were lighting

over the bones.

Tho eight policemen pocketed their

pistols but swung their club. They also

said "Scat!" nnd the cats ran Into the

street and scurried through the Kast Side

with great news Tor their trllx-. There

were no arrests.

The police suspected that soms rival

them and thrown them through the tran

A few dajs ago. on January i0 to b

ixact. se.veral morning papers chronicled

the arrival hero on the French liner Prov

ence of "Uut- Krlitiools Jocph dn War

ren, Duke or Wnrreli-Surrey." To the

ship news reiorter and others who In

terviewed him th "DuKe" quotation

marks are used In view of the fact that

his tltln i, not mentioned in the llsti.

ivhoio such matters bjh recorded -said

tho title was a Papal honor conferred by

Pope l,eo XIII. and tliat ho was related

to the Duke of Norfolk.

He also said he was "heart whole and

fancy free" nnd "perfectly willing to fall

In love with one of our charming Amer

ican girls."

P. Cunllffe Owen, who ha been In

Ossen Disputes IluLr's" Title.

Tills is what Mr. Owen told The Svn

concerning Hello Krancols Joseph's past

performances and claims;

"If 1 call attiution to the matter It Is

because tills person has arrived by tho

l'rfnch liner Provence in New York and

Is putting up at the Gotham, attracting

notice there by his extraordinary clothes,

his odd manner and utterances and his

rlnglfttcd hair. Ho proposes subsequently

to honor Washington. Philadelphia, Chi

cago. Hot ton nnd cither big cities of the

I'nlted States, also Canada, with his

presence. He was over here In 1300 with

the publicly expiesred purisw of finding

some rich woman, preferably of the

Catholic Church, willing to becom his

wife,

"He Is still unmarried, and presumably

his present trip to America has the same

matrimonial object in view since he luis

admitted In Interflows that ho would not

be disinclined to wed a rich American

woman,

"It may, therefore, be of Interest to

furnish some Information concerning the

dueul title which lio uses and which he

propose to share with some fair daughter

of Cncle Sam. He claims to-day, as he

did just fourteen years ago, that the

dukedom was bestow ml upon him by the

Vatican on June 27, l'.'OO, in a brief

Issued by' the late Cardinal Macchl. Hot

I have before me an otllclal list, bearing

the date of 1913, of all the papal titles

of nobility granted during the past cen

tury, and the dukedom of Warren-Surrey

does not tlgure among them.

"I havo also a Trench standard work

hero of titles of nobility gi anted by tint

Vatican to French citizens, divided Into

two parts, one containing tho names or

those whose papal titles have licen regis

tered by th" Keeper or tho Great Seal

at Paris and are authorized to bo otlielally

Isiine In Kroner, while the other part Is

deioted to those Frenchmen possessing

nobiliary dignities obtained rrom the

Vatican and which, not having been regis

tered, cannot lawfully bo used In France.

In neither of these lists does the dukedom

of Warren-Surrey occur.

Xenrrb Falls In Kniflanil Ton,

"It Is hardly necessary for me to add

that tho dukedom or Warren-Surrey does

not occur in tho ICngllsh peerage. Thero

Is an earldom of Surrey, but It belongs

to the I Hike, of Norfolk ami ls borne by

his sou ami heir. The sol-dlsant Duke or

Wnrren-Surrey does not figure In any

olllelal list tif titles or In any of the

standard win Its of refcrenre of any

country of Kurope; least or all lu the

Alnianach do Gotha.

"With regard to the patent or dukedom

bearing the signature or the luto Catdtual

Maectil, 1 recall that when tho 'Duke'

was here fourteen years ago and produced

tho patent In question rcrercnoe. was made

fiom hero to the lato Cardinal Itanipolla,

then Secretary of State, who sent a reply

that there was no lecord of any such

dukedom having been granted by tlio

Vatican.

"Tho 'Duke' when asked to explain this

Intimated that ho had ootalued tho patent

from oiio of tho minor ottlclals of the

Papal Legation In Paris and that If the

Cardinal Secretary of State assorted that

fl was not on recoid at tho Vatican It

was piobably because he had not paid the

requisite fees and dues of legist ration.

Indeed, ho Intimated to me at the time, at

me house when lie called upon me, that

he had not had the money ror this, and

tliat OIIO OI llto iciieiut.1 on? lie nioucu lu

I.ondo.v, Jan. 23. Sir George Polsli, re

viewing th lituiuol.il nml eotiLuerelwl

situation in tho stuttst thi week, pi-edicts

a long period of Uicop money tunfore

seen happenings apart) which will be

come mor.i abundant and cheaper its the

ear advances. H. tecognl7c tliat tradu

is railing, but says that tl.o decline Is

less In Great Jlrltam than In Kutnpean

countries, which a.v suffering from the

lnfluei.ee of the Balkan war.

Sir George thinks that there aio

grounds for hoping that Hrltlsh manu

facturers will be. well cmplojed for some

lime to come. France, he says, will'

benoflt from tho loans which she ts about

to Issue nnd which uta Ukly to btlni;

her numerous tieiv orders. As a lesult

she v. Ill suffer less than other count! Us

from declining trade. The same may be

said to a certain extent of Germany

"Iii the I'rlteil States," says Sit

George, "wo expert a recoicty rather

than a decline, ror the reduction of the

taritr and the new banking and currency

act are calculated to benefit trade. When

the first difficulties of tbe riductlon of

the tariff ar no American manu

facturers will !,i .rnin to 'compete with

foreigners much better ttutn formerly,

while the new banking law ought to givo

great stimulus to foreign trade lu every

direction. We anticipate, therefore, com

parative steadiness of trade In the United

States, assuming that the crops will be

good."

Contingent on the absence of unforeseen

and dlrturblng events, Sir George pie-dlct-s

that a general and steady advance

will he secured by stocks throughout the

year. Hrltlsh securities will bo In higher

favor than since the outbreak of the

Boer war. Consols and other gltt edged

securities will continue to advance. Amer

ican securities will also bo more sought

after. Sir George goes on to say:

"There Is every reason to anticipate

that there will be no antagonism between

the great American railroads and the Ad

ministration. President, Wilson has won

the confidence of all Wastes, and no one

doubts that oven If he makes mistakes

he ts at all events a'.mlnj at what Is

Just and fair and atiove all what will

be. beneficial to the country. That being

so, a bettor understanding is almoin cer

tain to grow up between the Administra

tion and the capitalist claes. If It does

American securities will agnln come Into

favor."
