FUNSTON CAPTURED VILLA. But Not the Mexican---Rochester Man Has Paper That
Tells of Exploit. Major General Frederick FUNSTON, who directs, from the
border, the movements of the American troops in the present Mexican campaign, is
the military strategist who in March, 1901, dealt the death blow to the Filipino
insurrection by capturing its leader, Emilio AGUINALDO. C.C.
BREWSTER, of No. 47 Ripley street, served with Company J., Forty-second
Regiment, U.S. Volunteers, which welcomed the successful expedition on its
return to Manila. Mr. BREWSTER has a copy of the Manila Times of March 28,
1901, which gives General FUNSTON’S own story of the capture. The rebel
leader’s camp was invaded by a clever ruse, native soldiers being disguised as
insurgents and FUNSTON and his officers as American prisoners. AGUINALDO
was taken into his own camp at Palanan, province of Isabela, on March 23d and
with him, strange to say, an officer named VILLA. The expedition posed as
Filipino reinforcements for which AGUINALDO had sent. His messenger was
captured by the Americans. General FUNSTON at that time held a rank as
brigadier general of the volunteers. He was recognized by Congress for
bravery and rapidly advanced in the regular service until he now holds the rank
of major general. In capturing the VILLA of Filipino fame, FUNSTON
didn’t lose a man. Mr. BREWSTER hopes he will be as successful in his
capture of the VILLA of Mexican treachery.

the authorities of that institution will be communicated with to learn if he is
out on parole. William BOOTH, said to be related to RISLEY, lives at No.
345 Mount Hope avenue. On March 13th, he reported to Captain MEHLE,
of the Franklin street police station, that someone had entered his room and
stolen three checks, made out to himself, and some change that he had concealed
beneath a pillow on his bed. Officers were detailed to investigate the
theft and the banks were notified. Yesterday morning, RISLEY went into the
Merchants’ Bank, at South avenue and Main street east, and presented a check
such as had been described by BOOTH. The cashier managed to delay him in
the bank, and a telephone call was sent to the Franklin street station.
MAJOR was communicated with and RISLEY’S arrest followed. At the station
the young man was searched. He was found to have two revolvers, a
flashlight and a money belt on his person.

BAD SMELLS NOT TO BE REVIVIFIED. SUITS BROUGHT BY TENANTS OF BUILDING
DISCONTINUED. The odors that came from an animal show that was housed in
the Beckeley building about a year ago were the grounds of three lawsuits
against the owners of the building and the proprietor of the show. The
cases were disposed of yesterday. Morris FISHBERG, George DYER and James
E. LANGDON sued Philip PRESENT and George WHITCOMB to recover a total of $30,000
damages for injury alleged to have been suffered as a consequence of the
presence of the animals in the building. The plaintiffs were tenants of
Philip PRESENT, owner of the building. George WHITCOMB was the proprietor
of the show. The plaintiffs claimed that the odors that spread through the
building were not conducive to good health or good business. They
maintained that their offices were made unusable and that their health was
endangered. WHITCOMB maintained that he obtained the consent of the proper
authorities to house the animals in the building and that the Health Bureau told
him the odors were not dangerous to health. The actions brought by
FISHBERG and DYER were dismissed. The action brought by LANGDON was abated
because of the health of the plaintiff. McINERNEY & BECHTOLD
represented the defendants.
FIREMAN SUES FOR $10,000. A sealed verdict will be opened this morning
before Justice CLARK in the $10,000 negligence action of Edward J. CAWTHRA, of
No. 45 Ardmore street, lieutenant of engine Company No. 13, Rochester Fire
Department, against the New York State Railways. Lieutenant CAWTHRA spent
ten days in a hospital and thirty-five days at his home under treatment for
injuries he received when a hose wagon collided with a west-bound trolley car at
West avenue and Willowbank place on Oct. 9, 1915. The plaintiff claimed
that the motorman did not stop when he heard the gong of the wagon. When
the car and the hose wagon collided CAWTHRA was catapulted from the wagon and
landed on his head. Paul FOLGER and Willis MATSON, representing the
trolley company, claimed that the west-bound motorman did not stop because he
did not hear the gong and did not know of the proximity of the wagon until it
darted out from behind an eastbound car. Mr. FOLGER told the jury that had
the west-bound car been stationary the accident would have happened just the
same. Millard H. JENCKS and Joseph WEBSTER represented the plaintiff.
SMALL PLAINTIFF AND WITNESS. A verdict for $250 in favor of the plaintiff
was returned by a Supreme Court jury yesterday afternoon before Justice BENTON
in the $10,000 negligence action of Angelo BASSANI against Leonard W. WITTMAN.
The plaintiff is a lad about 12. It was claimed that WITTMAN was riding a
motorcycle on the sidewalk in Bay street and struck the lad, breaking one of his
legs. Little Josephine BARNETTA, who says she is 11 years old, but looks
younger, was a witness. Justice BENTON helped out with some of the big
words the lawyers used, and with his help the child got along swimmingly.
When she was safe beside her mother, she threw a kiss to the Judge.
Forsyth Brothers represented the plaintiff.
JURORS FOR MURDER TRIAL. A panel of 100 jurors, to be examined on April
10th for the trial of Michell VENNERO, indicted for murder in the first degree
for the shooting of Luigi FAZZINI, is being prepared by John M. STEELE,
commissioner of jurors. The shooting occurred on November 6th.
INQUEST TO DECIDE CLAIM. Compensation Depends on Whether Accident or
Operation Was Fatal. An autopsy performed by Coroner KILLIP yesterday, at
the request of Francis A. McCUSKER, Rochester representative of the State
Insurance Fund, on the body of Enurey SEEBROOK, 30 years old, of No. 1121 Hudson
avenue, who died on Monday afternoon following an operation on his leg, showed
that death had been caused by traumatic shock. The man sustained a broken
leg when at work in the yards of the Rochester Iron and Metal Company several
weeks ago. As the leg did not knit properly, it was necessary to perform
another operation. An inquest now will be held to determine whether the
original accident or the second operation caused the man’s death. If
death resulted from the operation and not from the original accident, it is
likely that the Bureau of Compensation of the State Industrial Commission will
refuse to permit the State Insurance Fund to pay a claim for the man’s death,
since death could not then be said to be due to an accident occurring in the
course of the man’s employment. The man’s family, which would benefit
from the payment of compensation, is believed to be in Poland.
The fraud action brought by Nina LODER against Count Max LYNAR, known also as
Count Max Lynar LAUNDER, was passed yesterday. The plaintiff seeks to
recover $3,000 which she lent the alleged count. Ralph B. INGALSBE
represents the plaintiff. The case is set down for trial in the term of
Court that will open April 3d.
Justice CLARK has signed an order authorizing settlement for $516 of the suit
for personal injuries brought by Claude F. LAWLER, an infant, through guardian,
against Simon HOHMANN. Wile & Oviatt represented the plaintiff.
The negligence action brought by John DOBRONSKI, an infant, against Sarah MASON
to recover $5,000 for injuries he received when a torch used in removing paint
from a house was thrown into the street has been settled. Justice CLARK
signed an order authorizing the plaintiff’s guardian to accept $200 in
settlement. James L. BREWER represents the plaintiff.
BARRON CASE IS PUT OVER. At the request of the defendant’s attorney,
Louis E. FULLER, the police court case of Walter F. BARRON, a coal dealer, of
No. 580 Child street, arrested on a charge of attempting to defraud Monroe
county by delivering coal which was less than it was represented to be, was
adjourned yesterday morning to March 31st. Mr. FULLER told the Court that
he had not completed the preparation of his case as he had been assured by the
District Attorney’s office that it would not be reached yesterday.
FAMILIES DRIVEN TO STREET. CHIMNEY FIRE IN LOWELL STREET DOES DAMAGES
ESTIMATED AT $200. A defective chimney caused a fire in the blind garret
of the house at No. 41 Lowell street at 10:30 o’clock last night that did $200
damage before it was extinguished by the firemen operating under the direction
of Battalion Chief LYNCH. The house is owned by Nicholas KUCZNY, who
occupies the front apartment on the first floor. The apartment affected by
the fire is used by Frank KWASNYCIA, who lives on the second floor in the rear.
The fire was discovered by a member of the KWASNYCIA family, who shouted an
alarm that sent the KUCZNY family and occupants of two other apartments into the
street.

RETURNS FROM SOUTH. Judge Willis K. GILLETTE, who has been spending a
couple of weeks in the South, returned to his duties in police court this
morning. During his trip he visited Richmond, Va., Jacksonville, Palm
Beach and several other cities.
John CARVAGLIA, 54 years of age, of 471 State street, was sentenced in police
court this morning to spend sixty days in the penitentiary on a charge of
creating a disturbance, while a similar charge, which was made against Peter
DiMIZIO, 42, of 26 Marietta street, was dismissed. CARVAGLIA is a
shoemaker, while the other man is a tailor, and they rented a place at 471 State
street and conducted both of these lines of business there, but some
disagreement arose between the men in regard to the payment of rent.
The argument culminated in a fight last night. During the battle it is
claimed that CARVAGLIA struck the other man with some sharp instrument and one
of his hands was quite badly injured. Policemen NORTHRUP and FOSTER were
called to the place and they arrested both men, but it was claimed that
CARVAGLIA was to blame for the trouble.
