CAPTURES MAN AFTER THREE-MILE CHASE
Wonderful fleetness of foot and power of endurance were shown yesterday
by a man who gave his name as Ralph AMBROSE, 22 years old, and said
he lived at 256 Liberty avenue, and Patrolman Joseph P. CONNELLY, of the
Sheepshead Bay Station.  After a chase of about three miles about the
Sheepshead Bay track the endurance of the policeman won out and he 
captured AMBROSE and locked him up.
AMBROSE is a laborer and was employed by Charles FROEB, Jr., a hotel
man of 671 Lafayette avenue, who has a pretty summer home at Emmons
avenue and East Twenty-seventh street, Sheepshead Bay.  FROEB says he
missed a quantity of napkins, sheets and other house necessities yesterday,
and accused AMBROSE of taking them.  AMBROSE took to the highways with
other employes about the place in pursuit.  CONNELLY followed the crowd.
Being hampered by heavy shoes AMBROSE took them off, when he had
gained a good lead on his pursuers, and threw them away, then he bounded
along like a deer.  CONNELLY, however, proved the best stayer and wore
AMBROSE out, catching him at Avenue S and Ocean Avenue.
Magistrate VOORHEES in the Coney Island court to-day, held AMBROSE
on a charge of petit larceny for Special Sessions.  AMBROSE said he did
not think the stuff belong to any one.

MAY PROVE TO BE CASE OF MURDER AND ARSON
What may prove to be a case of murder and arson is now occupying the
attention of Coroner AMBLER and the police of Elmhurst, Queens Borough.
Edward KECK, 58 years old, who was employed as a night watchman, was
found burned to death this morning in a new unoccupied flat building on
Romaine street, near the Hoffman boulevard, and owned by Cord Meyer.
When the firemen entered the burning flat, they found KECK's body lying
on the floor of the lower part of the house.  The head, legs and arms were
burned in a shocking manner and the features were beyond recognition.  A 
large number of plumber's tools, which had been left in the house, were
missing and the watchman's lighted lantern was found in one of the rooms
of an adjourning flat.
One of the theories is that KECK, when he entered the flat, found burglars
there and that they killed him and set fire to the building to conceal the
crime.  Another theory is that KECK fell asleep while smoking in the
building and set fire to his clothing.

HONEYMOON SOURED AFTER THREE DAYS
Her honeymoon lasted just three days, so pretty Mrs. Gertrude HEINISCH,
19 years old, a bride of seven months, informed Magistrate HEALEY in the
Long Island City police court yesterday, when she appeared against her
youthful husband, Walter HEINISCH, 21 years old, whom she charged with
abandonment and non-support.  According to the bride's story young
HEINISCH, while wanting to cling to her, was loath to forsake his own
mother and several smaller brothers and sisters, and following their
marriage, young HEINISCH took his bride to his mother's home, 179 Ninth
avenue, Astoria.
Magistrate HEALEY adjourned the case for one month and told the couple to
try to reach some understanding and set up housekeeping for themselves.
The couple then left the court, but went in opposite directions.

MURDER SUSPECT HELD ON VAGRANCY CHARGE
By the arrest of Frank CONSTANTINE, Jr., who has been locked up in the
Adams street station on a technical charge of vagrancy, pending the
arrival of the Chicago police, the police believe that they have the man who
murdered Mrs. A. W. GENTRY, the wealthy Chicago society woman.
CONSTANTINE was arrested as the steamship Rome was pulling out of
Pier 33, South Brooklyn, for Naples last night.  The prisoner says he is not
CONSTANTINE, but Pasquale GERAIMO, of 32 East 113th street, Manhattan.
He denies that he was ever in Chicago and further says that he never heard
of Mrs. GENTRY.  Detective VACHRIS made the arrest.

PRYING "COP" WINS POT IN 5-CENT POKER GAME
Three men engaged in a game of poker and with just 45 cents in the pot
were arrested last night in the rear room of a saloon kept by Julius
JACNISKY at 146 John street.  Patrolman Fred COOTS happened to peep
into the place just as a man was raising the bet another nickel.  He grabbed
the "pot" which was lying on the table before the cards were shown and 
placed the three men under arrest.  Anthony WHITMAN, 21 years old of
233 Plymouth street and Modus DOUKAS, same address, were locked
up as common gamblers and JACNISKY was charged with keeping a
gambling house.
The prisoners were held for examination in the Adams street court to-day.

where an elaborate collation was served.  The couple left to-day for a
honeymoon trip to the South.  On their return Dr. and Mrs. WALSH will
reside in Brevoort place.
This is the first marriage performed by Judge FAWCETT, although he has
acted in the role of best man thirteen times and has a record of having
acted as usher at more than fifty weddings.  The bride naively remarked
that she thought he would be a happier and wiser judge if he would get
married.  Judge FAWCETT smilingly agreed with her.

blow given her by CLAASON.  He had a diamond ring on his finger when he

MRS. ELLA CASSIDY, A NURSE IN KINGS COUNTY HOSPITAL,
RUN DOWN AND FATALLY HURT.
Mrs. Ella CASSIDY, 37 years old, a nurse in the Kings County Hospital,
was run down and fatally injured by a trolley car in Adams street last night.
She was taken to the Cumberland Street Hospital, where is it said her death
is probably a question of only a few hours.
Mrs. CASSIDY left the hospital where she was employed on leave of
absence yesterday.  With a friend she attempted to cross Adams street in
the middle of the block between Concord and Tillary streets.
It was 10 o'clock, and the street at that point was not very brilliantly 
lighted.
The woman did not notice trolley car No. 3128 of the Bergen street line,
bound for Manhattan which was traveling at an ordinary rate of speed, and
she stepped directly in front of it.
The motorman, Ulysses S. BARRAND, 27 years old, of 20 Stone avenue, did
not see the woman until the car was upon her.  She was thrown under the
fender and the front wheels passed over her, completely severing her right
arm, breaking both legs and almost tearing the scalp from her head.
As soon as the motorman could stop the car he seized the controller and ran
to the Adams street policy station.
"I've just run over and killed a woman at Adams and Tillary streets", he
exclaimed to the sergeant at the desk.  He was as white as a sheet and
trembled all over.  The Sergeant detained him and hurried several policemen
to the scene.
They arrived in time to see Policeman George DUKES taking the woman from
underneath the car.  DUKES was patroling his post when he saw several
cars bound for Manhattan stalled in the street, and went to investigate.  The 
motormen of the stalled cars were standing idly by and watching the woman
under the car.
DUKES grabbed a controller from one of the cars and ran to the platform of
the car under which the unfortunate woman was moaning.  Slowly turning on 
the power he backed the car until bystanders were able to lift the woman up
and carry her to the sidewalk.  An ambulance was hastily summoned and
the surgeon rushed her tot he Cumberland Street Hospital.
She was still conscious and was at once placed on the operating table.
The conductor of the car was T. W. HEATH.  When Policeman DUKES
arrived on the scene he was busily taking the names of witnesses of the
accident.
Mrs. CASSIDY resided with her father, John ROACH, of 197 Baltic street.
She was out on a visit to some friends during the day and was returning to
her home when struck by the car.  The name of her escort could not be learned.

in the rear yard of her home, by a dog which Mrs. SMITH says belongs to a
man named MULHOLLAND, of 33 Luquer street.  The dog was taken by a
policeman to the Hamilton avenue station and the Health Department was
notified of the dog biting the girl.  Mrs. SMITH refused medical aid for her
daughter at the station house and took her for treatment to a private 
physician.  The dog will be kept under observation for signs of rabies.

AUTOIST TRIED TO RUN DOWN 'COP'
The arresting of drivers for speeding their automobiles on the Queens
Borough roads began yesterday and several chauffeurs were caught
during the day by the motorcycle squad under Roundsman ENNIS.
During the afternoon ENNIS himself had the most exciting experience 
of the day and only his own agility and ability dismount quickly saved
him a nasty tumble.  ENNIS was on the Hoffman Boulevard, in Jamaica,
when he signaled Frank FULLER, chauffeur for George B. LESTER, of 27
Washington Square North, Manhattan, to slow down, because ENNIS 
thought the machine was being driven so close to the limit as to strain
the leeway allowed.  ENNIS claims that LESTER told FULLER to go 
ahead and the chauffeur did so.  ENNIS gave chase and followed the car
to Greenpoint avenue, Newtown.  He claims the pace was at time fifty
miles an hour.
At Greenpoint avenue ENNIS ranged alongside the flying car.  FULLER, he
claims, tried to crowd him, and that there was a deliberate attempt to drive
him into the gutter. He made a quick check, dismounted, and escaped.
He was about to remount when men further along the boulevard, who had
witnessed the race, forced the driver to stop.  ENNIS then made the arrest.
At the Newtown police station ENNIS charged FULLER with speeding at the
rate of fifty miles and with driving without a license badge.  He also charged
LESTER with ordering FULLER to violate the law
When LESTER went to leave the station house after his employer had
provided bail there was a crowd outside drawn by the report that he had
attempted to run down the officer and was so threatening that FULLER
had to call on the police for protection.

The other arrest were those of John J. DIX, of 70 West Fifty-first street,
Manhattan, driving the car of Frank M. DIX, of 12 East Thirty-first street,
John HATUST, chauffeur for B. G. COLLIER, of 210 Fifth avenue; William V.
SILVERNAIL, chauffeur for E. K. TOLLINSON, of the Ansonia; Harry
REYNOLDS, chauffeur for Louis ROTHSCHILD, of 129 West Seventy-fifth
street, and John LAUGHLIN, chauffeur for L. E. WELLS(?), of West 
Seventy-second street, all of Manhattan.

ITALIANS RIOT; BUT ONE PISTOL USED
This Is Explained by the Police Crusade Against Concealed Wespons.
Bar-Main Fired Only Shot - Two Policemen Hold Excited, Unarmed Mob at Bay.
A riot occurred among the Italians living in the lower part of Carroll
street about midnight, last Night. It originated in a fight in an Italian
dance hall, known as Carroll Hall, at 47 Carroll street, which is run by
Mary FUSKI, a pretty Swedish woman, and her husband, Joseph FUSKI, an
Italian. Pasquale PELEGRINO, of 525 Carroll street, who stated the trouble
was arrested by Patrolman LEARY, of the Hamilton avenue station and was held
by Magistrate TIGHE, in the Butler street court, this morning, for
examination, on a charge of assault.
PELEGRINO, who says he is an agent of an Italian society at 17 Pearl street,
Manhattan, wanted to have a waltz in the dance hall last night with Alla
DINARA, 18 years old, of 47 Carroll street, but she refused to have anything
to do with him. He then started to abuse the girl and Mrs. FUSKI interfered.
PELEGRINO, now furious resented the interference by picking up a chair and
knocking down the little blonde barmaid. Mary picked herself up, staggered
over behind the bar and seized a revolver, which she has on hand. She fired
at PELEGRINO, taking his hat off with the first shot. Four more shots
followed but none took effect. As PELEGRINO had no gun he plainly  saw that
the hall was no place for him, and darted through the door with Mary at his
heels. The dancers trailed behind.
The whole neighborhood was aroused by the shots, and as Mary is very popular
several hundred Italians started after the fleeing PELEGRINO. About a block
away he ran into the arms of Policeman LEARY, who placed him under arrest.
At the same moment Patrolman ROY, of the Hamilton avenue station, ran up an
grabbed Mary and took the gun away from her. The policemen had to use their
night sticks freely to keep the many champions of Mary from snatching
PELEGRINO away from them and dealing with him in their own way. PELEGRINO wa
nted to make a complaint against Mary in court today, but it was not
entertained.
The police of the Hamilton avenue station believe that it is a significant
fact the there was only one gun in the fight last night. They attribute the
scarcity of weapons to the crusade that has been carried on the last two
days against concealed weapons by the police of the entire city.

WOMAN, HELD AS DRUNK, SAID SHE WAS DYING.
Annie NEVINS, who was been lying for two weeks past in a room at 108 Nassau
street, and is suffering from gastritis, appealed to Policeman HOLLMAN, of
the Adams street station, today, to be sent to a hospital. She said she felt
she was dying. An ambulance was summoned from the Brooklyn Hospital, and the
surgeon declared that the woman was suffering from alcoholism.
He refused to remove her, so Sergeant McCORMACK told the officer to bring
her to the Adams street court. There she collapsed completely, and lay on a
bench groaning: "For God's sake some one have pity on me and have me taken
to a hospital. All I had to drink for three days was a little whiskey and
water given me by the landlady. I have not eaten anything for nearly two
weeks."
Clerk ELLPERIN telephoned for the ambulance to the Cumberland Street
Hospital , and she was removed there.

rapid succession in the Adams street station house to-day, and Sergeant

	Annie was complainant against Mary PARNELL, a negress, who lives on 
Lexington avenue, near Classon avenue.  Mary had struck Annie with a 
curtain pole and while on the way to the station house Annie fell in a 
fit.  It was thought that she was suffering from the effects of the 
blows until an ambulance surgeon examined her and found that she had 
not been injured at all by the stick.

BRIDESMAID IS HELD FOR THEFT.
After the marriage of Clara ROMANEY, 17 years old, to Samuel McDOUGAL, 
19 years old, last night at the home of Alfred T. HOHEUSLE, of 742 
Liberty avenue, a saloonkeeper and an uncle of the bride, Mrs. HOHEUSLE 
discovered that her gold watch and chain were missing from a dresser in 
her bedroom, where she had previously laid them.
	She gathered the guests around her and told her husband and those 
present that she had seen Miss Florence MALONEY, 22 years old, of 191 
South Fourth street, who was one of the bridesmaids at the wedding, in 
her bedroom a short time before.  A policeman was called and Miss 
MALONEY was arrested.
	She was taken to the Gates avenue court to-day, where she indignantly 
denied having seen the watch.
	"I was taken slightly ill and went to lie down in the bedroom," Miss 
MALONEY told the court.  "I did not even know there was a gold watch on 
the dresser.  While I was lying there I saw some one pass outside of 
the window, the room being on the first floor.  I was in there only a 
few minutes and I was astounded when Mrs. HOHEUSLE accused me of taking 
the watch."
	Miss MALONEY was a substitute bridesmaid, having taken the place of 
another young woman who was taken ill at the last moment.
	Despite her story Magistrate FURLONG held her in $500 bail for a 
further hearing on May 8.

MOVING DAY ADDS MUCH TO BROOKLYN
	The first streak of the cold gray dawn broke forth upon a busy scene in 
Brooklyn.  While the street lamps still twinkled almost every block in 
this city saw from two to three big vans backed up in front of as many 
houses and a squad of husky men softly swearing as they lugged out a 
piano or some equally light piece of furniture, announced that moving 
day had arrived.
	All day long the heavily laden vans have rumbled through the streets.  
Every style of vehicle that could be utilized for transferring 
household goods was pressed into service.
	The roadway on the Williamsburg Bridge presented an interesting 
spectacle.  Pushcarts, baby carriages and wheelbarrows were used by the 
Manhattan East Siders who were coming over on this side of the river to 
live.  Some, evidently too poor to hire even such vehicles as these, 
depended upon their strength and by utilizing every member of their 
families, managed quite successfully.
The moving, however, to a great extent, has been restricted to the city 
alone.  Everybody already here appeared satisfied to remain in the City 
of Churches and contented themselves with a change in locality.  To 
judge by a record kept at this end of the Brooklyn bridge, there are 
only a few of the lower Manhattanites coming over to live with us.
	Officer Patrick J. MULVIHILL, who has been stationed at the foot of 
Liberty and Sands streets for four years, said to-day that in all of 
his years at the bridge there have been to-day fewer furniture vans 
coming this way than ever before on May Day.
	But there was no occasion for alarm.  Bridge Collector D.A. DE NYSE, 
who is stationed on the roadway leading Manhattanward, assured the 
anxious one that no one was leaving Brooklyn over his end of the bridge.
	At the Williamsburg Bridge things were decidedly encouraging.  Over on 
the East Side rents have been raised and the inhabitants of that 
district, believed that it behooved them to move, packed up their 
belongings this morning and came across the bridge, the majority of 
them continuing on their way to Brownsville.
	One big policeman who has a keen eye for all movers said that at 8 
o'clock this morning over fifty vans had come over from Manhattan.
	One tailor, with a family of seven, brought his stove irons and other 
tailor accessories over in a cart.  He pushed the vehicle, while his 
wife and six children staggered under the weight of bed clothing, 
tinware and crockery.
The youngest, about three years old, carried an iron in each hand.
	A peanut vendor brought his stock of trade and his furnishings over in 
his cart and relieved himself of the arduous labor by eating peanuts 
occasionally.  He solicited the aid of several small boys to push the 
cart when once on this side by bribing them with his stock in trade.
[Ed. note:  For many years in NYC, May 1st was 'moving day'.   If you 
ever wondered why you couldn't find your ancestors from one year to the 
next, this is why.  It was 'musical apartments' so to speak.]

MOTORMAN'S FOOT CRUSHED HELPING EXPRESSMAN.
John ALLEN, a motorman living at 1339 Pacific street, was passing the 
corner of Brooklyn and Atlantic avenues near midnight last night when 
he saw an expressman unloading a trunk from his wagon.  The expressman 
was unable to manage the trunk and ALLEN volunteered to help him.  
ALLEN and the expressman had just swung the trunk from the wagon when 
it slipped and fell on ALLEN's right foot, crushing it badly.  Surgeon 
VOSBURGH, of St. John's Hospital, dressed the foot and removed the 
injured man to the hospital.

DEPUTY CHIEF LALLY MOVES TO BROOKLYN
Deputy Fire Chief Thomas LALLY, who has resided in Manhattan the 
greater part of his life, will take up his residence in Brooklyn 
to-day.  Chief LALLY's  home is in the vicinity of Fort Greene Park.  
Chief LALLY has been connected with the Fire Department since 1870.  
Over fifty floral horsehoes and handsome bouquets of flowers were 
received at his new residence this morning.

GRACE M.E. CHURCH CLUB HOLDS ITS ANNUAL DINNER
The second annual dinner of the Corinthian Club, connected with Grace 
M.E. Church, Seventh avenue and St. Johns place, was held last night in 
the church parlors.  President Robert M. BARTO presided, and the 
speakers were:  Prof. Isaac Franklin RUSSELL, of New York University; 
the Rev. Frederick F. SHANNON, the Rev. F. Boyd EDWARDS and Prof. 
Clinton WESTON.  Prof. WESTON also played several piano selections.  
With the singing of several college songs, followed by "Auld Lang 
Syne," the dinner ended.

LAST CALL FOR LIQUOR LICENSES
Excise Department Estimates There are 3,500 Saloons in Brooklyn.
TAXES EXCEED $4,000,000
Delay in Preparing Certificates Causes Great Rush.	
Yesterday was the last day of grace the saloonkeepers had for procuring 
liquor licenses, and an unusually large number of applications for 
renewals were filed in the office of Deputy Excise Commissioner H.W. 
MITCHELL.  The old licenses expired last midnight.  To-day the large 
staff of clerks is busy trying to get things in shape so that the exact 
number of certificates and the amount yielded will be known.
	It was estimated that the total number of certificates issued would be 
over 3,500, which would yield about $4,500,000.  The figures this 
morning showed that 3,050 renewals of No. 1 certificates have been 
issued, and 184 of No. 2 certificates, making the approximate amount of 
$3,020,600[?], an increase over that of last year.
	No. 1 certificates include the saloons and hotels who pay this borough 
$975, against $1,200 in Manhattan.  No. 2 certificates take in grocers 
and druggists, who dispose of liquor.  The proprietors of these 
establishments each pay $600 a year.  In Manhattan the tax is $750.
	Col. MICHELL said over one hundred more applications had been filed up 
to last night than at the same time last year.  He accounted for the 
exceptional rush during the last  few days by the fact that there was a 
delay in getting the blank applications and certificates printed.  This 
delay was made necessary because the department had to wait the 
disposition at Albany of a proposed amendment to the excise law to make 
Dec. 1, which is the beginning of the fiscal year, the beginning also 
of the excise year, instead of May 1, as at present.
	The amendment was killed, but not until it was so late that very few 
applications for certificates could be attended to in advance of May 1. 
  The applicants who have not yet come forward will be given a little 
more time in getting their renewals, but by this evening all are 
expected to be in.
TENEMENT FALLS INTO EXCAVATION
Three-Story Frame Building in South Third Street Undermined by Contractors.
NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH
Occupants Had Just Moved Out, Fearing Such an Accident.
	Undermined by an excavation which was being made for the erection of 
new apartment houses at 228 and 230 South Third street, an unoccupied 
three-story frame tenement at 226 South Third street, owned by Samuel 
SLOTE, of 883 Second Avenue, Manhattan, collapsed shortly after 2 
o'clock yesterday afternoon and filled the excavation with debris.  The 
lives of about forty workmen, employed by Louis MARCUS, a contractor, 
were endangered by the falling structure.  A group of school children, 
who had been permitted to play in one corner of the excavation, also 
had a narrow escape from being buried in the ruins, which were piled 
many feet high after the crash.
	Three families containing fifteen persons had occupied the tenement.  
One of the families moved out about a week ago and it was only on 
Monday night last that the remaining families vacated the premises in 
the fear that the very thing that happened would occur.
	Contractor MARCUS explained, as he stood by viewing the ruins, that he 
had urged upon SLOTE the necessity of having the side wall of the 
tenement securely shored up, as it had showed signs of weakening as the 
work of excavating progressed.  He declared that SLOTE told him he 
would have the wall properly shored up just as soon as he could get the 
job executed at a reasonable figure.  He added that SLOTE thought the 
price asked by one contractor, $150, was too high and believed he could 
procure a lower estimate by calling for estimates.
	The noise made by the collapsing building alarmed the entire 
neighborhood and whole families along the block rushed out of their 
homes to the street fearing that a terrific explosion had occurred.
	MARCUS' laborers and drivers received a warning when the crackling 
sound of parting timbers and boards reached their ears.  Meanwhile 
MARCUS shouted lustily and had the excavation cleared of humanity in a 
few seconds.  The building sank slowly toward the excavation as if 
unseen hands were trying to stand it on end.  The loss to SLOTE is 
estimated at about $6,000.
	There was naturally much concern in the local Bureau of Buildings when 
the police notified the officials of the affair, and an investigation 
is being made with a view to placing the responsibility where it 
belongs.  That some of the workmen and the persons who formerly 
occupied the tenement were not buried alive is regarded as a miracle.  
It will require several days to clear the excavation of the 
accumulation of debris so that preparations may be complete for the 
construction of the foundations for the new buildings.
	Ralph NICOLO, who vacated the basement of No. 236 with his family on 
Monday night, had a narrow escape from being buried in the ruins.  He 
had entered the cellar of the house to make preparations for the 
removal of his coal supply to his new home when the building began to 
sink.  Realizing his danger in time he made for the street and reached 
it in safety, bearing only a few scratches.

POLICEMAN CRITICISED FOR ARRESTING VON HOUTEN
Saying that the arrest was a very foolish one, Magistrate FURLONG in 
the Gates avenue court to-day dismissed the case against Abraham VON 
HOUTEN, 21 years old, of 21 Ocean place.  VON HOUTEN was arrested by 
Policeman ENGLISH, of the Brownsville station, as he was walking along 
Eastern Parkway, near Rockaway avenue, last night in company with a 
young woman.  ENGLISH claimed that VON HOUTEN was loitering and was 
very impudent when told to move on.
	VON HOUTEN told the court that he was seeing Miss Mildred SANDERS, 
daughter of an East New York minister, to her home, having just left an 
ice cream parlor, when the officer came across the street and arrested 
him for no apparent reason. He then told the policeman he would like 
his number, as he proposed to report him, whereupon, he says, the 
policeman struck him and placed him under arrest.  He was corroborated 
by Miss SANDERS, who took the stand and told how she had met VON 
HOUTEN, with whom she was acquainted, as she was doing an errand for 
her mother.  She said that VON HOUTEN had not had any words with the 
officer, nor had he been loitering around.

BLACKSMITH HURT AT THE NAVY YARD
A heavy iron chain dropped on and crushed the right foot of Caleb 
HARRIS, of 28 Kilborn street, a forger employed in the blacksmith shop 
of the Steam Engineering Department of the Navy Yard, this morning.  He 
was treated by Dr. GREEN at the Navy Yard Dispensary and later removed 
to his home.

NUDE-BODY OF MAN IN WATER OFF BAY RIDGE
The nude body of a man was found floating in the water near the foot of 
Eighteenth street, Bay Ridge, to-day, by Herbert EDWARDS, of 261 
Fifty-first street, and was later removed to the Brooklyn morgue.  The 
features are almost unrecognizable.  Apparently the man was about 45 
years old, about 5 feet 6 inches tall and wore a goatee.

WOULD CURE DOCTOR WITH SECRET REMEDY
Dr. Raymond GALLNET, a veterinary surgeon, of 74 Adams street, who is 
[confined?] to a tent on the grounds of Bellevue Hospital, Manhattan, 
suffering, it is believed, from glanders*, shows no improvement and Dr. 
Paul SCHMIDT, of 1053 Park avenue, has offered to take him from the 
hospital and effect a cure by employment of a secret remedy.  Dr. 
GALLNET is believed to have contracted the disease while experimenting 
with blood of diseased horses.
*glanders - a contagious disease  of horses, mules, etc., characterized 
by fever, swelling of glands beneath the jaw, etc.

BROOKLYN MAN IS HELD AT DRESDEN
Ionaz Marcel GIEL Arrested on a Charge of Lese Majeste in Saxony Capital
INSULTED KING, IT IS SAID
Indicted Without Delay - Affair Causes Much Talk
	DRESDEN, May 2 -- Ionaz Marcel GIEL, of Glenmore avenue, Brooklyn, NY, 
an American citizen, representing one of the largest tobacco companies 
of the United States, has been arrested on a charge of lese majeste.  
He was released on bail.  An indictment against him has been filed in 
the criminal court.
	GIEL was one of a crowd around a bar in a public house here when he 
became involved in a political argument.  During the excitement of the 
discussion he indulged, it is said, in insulting remarks about the King 
of Saxony.  Some army officers were present and overheard him.   They 
ordered his immediate arrest.  A preliminary hearing was held without 
delay, when he was released on bail.  The indictment charging lese 
majeste was also secured.
	The affair has caused much talk.  There is much speculation whether the 
case will be pushed, but at present there is no indication that the 
prosecutor will be swerved from asking for  the conviction of GIEL, 
not withstanding his American citizenship.
--  The name contained in the above dispatch is not in the directory of Brooklyn.

ATTEMPTS SUICIDE IN CONCERT HALL
	In full view of a large audience in a concert hall on Jones' Walk, 
Coney Island, Otto AUSTEN, 34 years old, fired three shots in his left 
breast this afternoon.  AUSTEN was in the concert hall drinking in 
company with a soubrette.  Just then one of the girls on the stage came 
forward and started to sing: "Love Me As I Do You."  AUSTEN turned to 
the girl as his side and almost on the impulse of the moment asked the 
girl to marry him.  This she refused and the man, drawing a thirty-two 
calibre revolver from his hip pocket, fired the three shots.
	He was about to turn the pistol on the woman at his side, it is said, 
when Alfred GREENFIELD, of 22 Orchard street, Manhattan, wrested the 
weapon from the man's hand.  AUSTEN coolly walked from the concert hall 
and then turned toward Surf avenue, closely followed by GREENFIELD.  
Just then GREENFIELD noticed a patrolman and he told the latter what 
AUSTEN had done.  AUSTEN, still unnerved, was taken to the Coney Island 
station by the patrolman.  Lieut. SHEEHAN, who was at the desk, asked 
AUSTEN where he lived, but the wounded man refused to disclose his 
address.  In another moment he fell to the floor in an unconscious 
condition.  He was removed to the Kings County Hospital, where it is 
believed he cannot recover. The police have been unable to ascertain 
the name of AUSTEN's female companion.

TERRORIZED FAMILY WITH CARVING KNIFE.
The wife and two children of George BROWERWITZ, a prominent resident of 
the Eastern District, and manager for several years of the PROBST & 
SCHOOMACHER bread-making  establishment, at Heyward street and Bedford 
avenue, were terrified by his strange actions last night.  BROWERWITZ, 
who is 35 years old, and lives at 59 Lynch street, came home last night 
and after driving his wife and children from the house, picked up a 
carving knife and began stabbing at the doors and walls of his home.

BROWERWITZ was induced to go to bed, but on arising this morning again 
became violent, going in front of the house with a 20-inch carving 
knife, which he sharpened on a stone and called for victims.  Policeman 
MILLER was summoned, and with the assistance of Dr. WHEELER, subdued 
BROWERWITZ and took him to the Clymer street station.  From there he 
was taken to the Lee avenue court, where Magistrate HIGGINBOTHAM held 
him for examination pending an inquiry into his sanity.

COULDN'T REMEMBER SMASHING STORE FRONT
Two men, who described themselves as Thomas DUFFY, 29 years old, of 239 
Keap street, and Edward REYNOLDS, 24 years old, of 15 Lee avenue, were 
held for a hearing on a charge of malicious mischief by Magistrate 
HIGGINBOTHAM in the Lee avenue court to-day.  Mrs. Lillie BLITZEN, of 
296 South Third street, told the court that the men smashed a heavy 
plate glass window in the front of her grocery store.  They pleaded 
that both were drunk and couldn't remember what they did.

WOMAN VANISHES, LEAVING CHILDREN WITH NEIGHBOR
The disappearance from home of Mrs. Thomas BREEN, of 302 First street,

to Seney Hospital.

BROWNSVILLE -SERIOUSLY INJURED BY FALLING DOWN STAIRS
While Morris EISENSTEIN, 35 years old, was about to go downstairs at 
his home, 99 Belmont avenue, late yesterday afternoon, he tripped over 
a piece of torn carpet and fell a distance of fifteen feet.  Ambulance 
Surgeon McNULTY, of St. Mary's Hospital, was summoned and after 
dressing EISENSTEIN's injuries, which consisted of a severe scalp wound 
and serious injuries, he left him in the care of his family physician.

BROWNSVILLE -TRUCK RUNS OVER BOY; HE LOSES THREE TOES.
While playing in the street yesterday Hyman LIBERMAN, 6 years old, of

CONEY ISLAND 'COP'S' DAUGHTER A BRIDE.
The Long-Delayed Announcement Telephoned to the Station House.
	Just as the Lieutenant at the Coney Island Station was turning out his 
men last night on the "night tour," the telephone bell rang, and this 
is what the Lieutenant heard:
	"Will you please tell my father, Patrolman Henry ARCUE, to come to the 
'phone.  I have something very nice to tell him."
	The Lieutenant turned around and gave ARCUE, who was standing in line 
with the other patrolmen,the message that he had received, and added: 
"It's a woman; so don't talk much."
	ARCUE got hold of the receiver tremblingly.  He remembered that he had 
disappointed his wife by failing to get her something while on his way 
downtown in the morning.  But he was quite astonished when he heard 
this come over the wires in a sweet, well-modulated voice.
	"Papa, this is Adelaide.  Say, pa, you know--er--that I--Oh, say, pa, I 
got married to Harry JAEGER last year.  Oh, you know Harry.  The one 
that used to call on me.  He lives on Voorhees avenue and West 
Thirty-first street.  We got married last year at the Church of the 
Holy Cross, in Manhattan, and now that I've told you about it you won't 
be mad, will you?"
	ARCUE dropped the wire quite suddenly, then a broad grin came over his 
face, and he said to the lieutenant:
	"That was that gal o' mine, just told me that she'd hitched up to a 
young feller that used to come to see her.  I suppose she will have my 
blessing."
	When ARCUE returned to his home this morning, after patrolling his beat 
all night, he met his nineteen-year-old daughter, Adelaide, and his 
son-in-law, Harry JAEGER, and gave them his blessing.

3 May 1907
LITTLE BOY AND GIRL RUN OVER BY TRUCKS
The neighborhood of Humboldt street and Montrose avenue, last night, 
proved unlucky to two little children who were run over as they were 
playing in the street.  The first accident occurred when four-year-old 
Clementina CALENDIR, of 172 Humboldt street, was run over by a brick 
wagon, driven by Jacob BOPP, 38 years old, of 200 Meserole street, late 
yesterday afternoon.
	The child was playing in the street and did not notice the big truck 
until it was upon her.  The rear wheels passed over her, and she lay 
unconscious until a surgeon from the Williamsburg Hospital attended 
her.  Both of her thighs were fractured.
	The other accident happened a few hours later. William H. FLYNN, a 
driver for the Street Cleaning Department, was passing along Montrose 
avenue with a wagon full of refuse to which two "trailers" were 
attached.  Eight-year-old Louis LEVINE, of 210 Scholes street, was on 
one of the wagons, when he fell off and received severe wounds, as the 
wheels passing over him.
	Both BOPP and FLYNN were taken to the Manhattan avenue court to-day and 
held for examinations on charges of assault.

TRIES TO DROWN HERSELF IN OCEAN
Despondent Young Woman Fails in Second Attempt to End Life at Coney Island
ESCAPED FROM RESCUE HOME.
Made Melancholy by Disappearance of Brother and Sister
About 6 o'clock this morning an eighteen-year-old girl, who later gave 
her name as Edna THOMPSON, and her address as 109 East Eighteenth 
street, Manhattan, jumped into the ocean from the pier that extends 
from Henderson's Walk at Coney Island.  The girl was going down for a 
second time when Patrolman James TRAVIS, of the Coney Island station, 
saw her struggling.  Throwing off his coat he jumped in after the girl 
and rescued her from a watery grave.
	Dr. BROWN, of the Coney Island Reception Hospital, responded to a call 
for an ambulance.  Realizing the seriousness of the girl's condition he 
removed her to the Kings County Hospital.  After being restored to 
consciousness she told one of the nurses that the only person whom she 
knew was Mrs. HUGHES, the probationary officer of the Coney Island 
court.  Mrs. HUGHES was summoned to the hospital, where she identified 
the girl as Katie KLOMISKY, who escaped this morning from the Coney 
Island Rescue Home.
	According to Mrs. HUGHES' story, Katie tried to commit suicide several 
months ago by drinking carbolic wash.  She was removed to a hospital, 
where, after hard work, her life was saved.  Later the girl was taken 
to the Coney Island court, where Magistrate VOORHEES committed her in 
charge of Mrs. HUGHES.  She immediately had the girl removed to Coney 
Island Rescue Home, where she became ill.  Mrs. HUGHES then decided  to 
investigate Katie's past life and learned that the girl had been 
working in Coney Island as a servant.
	All the money she earned she sent to a sister who lived in Manhattan.  
Subsequently the girl's sister disappeared, as did a brother who had 
lived on the East Side of Manhattan, but who returned to his native 
land, Austria.  This was the cause of her first attempt at suicide.
	At the Rescue Home she held aloof from the other inmates.  This morning 
she told one of the attendants that she was going to hide somewhere in 
the building.  That was the last seen of her until she was rescued from drowning.

"CYCLONE NELL" DOES A WHIRLWIND DANCE.
Nellie FARRELL, 35 years old, of 349 Hicks street, otherwise known to 
the police of the Hamilton avenue station as '"CYCLONE NELL," got into 
trouble again on Hamilton avenue last night.  She was executing a 
"whirlwind" dance to the music of a German band when she was arrested.  
Magistrate TIGHE, in the Butler street court, to-day sent her to 
Raymond street jail for ten days.

BINGHAM PICKS MEN TO BE HONORED FOR VALOR.
Police Commissioner BINGHAM to-day announced the list of men to whom

Rhinelander medal will go the Patrolman Henry HEART, the 
Bell medal to Patrolman David J. RALY, the

TO ENJOIN POLICE FROM INTERFERING WITH SHOW.
Motion was made before Supreme Court Justice THOMAS in Special Term 
to-day for an order enjoining the police from interfering with the 
moving picture show at 2046 Atlantic avenue, conducted by Henry HEMLEB. 
  It was charged that on Sunday, April 20, the place gave an exhibition 
of scenes from the THAW trial, and that children were in the audience; 
also that there were singing and dancing on the stage.  HEMLEB was 
arrested and was held by Magistrate FURLONG for the Special Sessions.  
The papers were submitted.

AUNT REFUSES HOME TO 13-YEAR-OLD BOY
	George ROHN, 13 years old, who says that until last night he lived with 
an aunt in Ryerson street, went to the Flushing avenue station at 11 
o'clock last night and told the lieutenant that his aunt had refused to 
allow him to enter the house.
	He said that he had a grandfather, Joseph ROHN, living at 86 Platt 
street, Jamaica, but he had refused to help support him.
	George was taken to the rooms of the S.P.C.C., where he spent the 
night.  His story will be investigated.

TWO BOY BURGLARS CAUGHT AFTER CHASE.
	The store of Jacob ARENSON, a dealer in building materials, at 455 
Forty-eighth street, was broken into by burglars early this morning and 
the safe blown open.  The culprits were poorly repaid for their work, 
as the safe contained nothing but coal, whereas they expected to find a 
fat, week-end payroll.
	Patrolman LAMBERT, of the Fourth avenue station, discovered that the 
store had been entered while the burglars were in it.  As he started to 
enter two masked men darted by him through the door.   LAMBERT quickly 
rapped for assistance and started after the two fleeing men.  He was 
joined by Patrolman TACKLEY and together they chased the burglars for 
five blocks.  The pursued turned up Fifty-third street and ran into No. 
410.  The policemen got into the house just in time to catch their prey 
as they were climbing through the roof scuttle.
	At the station house they gave their names as Frank PLOEGER, 19 years

HUSBAND USES RAZOR ON WIFE
She Had Charged Abandonment, But Case Was Dismissed.
WOMAN FATALLY INJURED.
"Cop" in Nightshirt Captures Slasher
	A woman, with blood streaming from numerous ugly wounds in her face and 
body, created a panic at Corona about 9 o'clock this morning, as she 
ran through the streets shouting for help.  She fell exhausted near the 
corner of Jackson and Nassau avenues and was carried into a nearby 
drugstore, where she was attended by an ambulance surgeon and removed 
to St. John's Hospital, Long Island City.  Her wounds will probably 
prove fatal.
	The woman was Mrs. Lillian V. VISCARDI, of 90 Cleveland avenue, Corona. 
 She had been assaulted by her husband.
	In the Long Island City police court yesterday a proceeding for 
abandonment  brought against VISCARDI by his wife, was dismissed, as 
she testified that she would never live with him again.  Another 
proceeding against the woman, instituted by the father of her husband, 
was also heard at the same time and was dismissed.  The complaint 
against Mrs. VISCARDI was for moving back into the house on Cleveland 
avenue her household effects, after they had been put into the street 
by a city marshal as the result of a dispossess proceeding.
	VISCARDI's appearance in the Corona house this morning was a great 
surprise to his wife and her mother, and she had no idea of the real 
object of his presence until he drew a razor and made a dash at her.
	Mrs. VISCARDI screamed and tried to get out of the way, but she was not 
quick enough.  She was slashed upon the face and body several times 
before she finally managed to break from the grasp of her husband and 
reach the street door.  VISCARDI followed her but when he saw his wife 
running toward Jackson avenue he started in the opposite direction.
	Neighbors had heard the woman's cries before she got away from 
VISCARDI.  A policeman named EWERS lives on Grant street, half a block 
away, and some cool-headed resident notified him.  EWERS was in bed, 
asleep, but he did not take time to dress when he heard a woman had 
been murdered, but dashed out in his night clothes and after a chase of 
several blocks, overhauled VISCARDI and quickly subdued him.  VISCARDI 
still held the bloodstained razor in his hand.
	Back of the murderous assault upon the woman is the story of a short 
married life, clouded with trouble almost from the start.  Mrs. 
VISCARDI was married only last June.  Before her marriage she owned a 
prosperous typewriting business in Manhattan.  She is of Irish 
parentage and thrifty, and at the time she promised to be VISCARDI's 
bride had something over $1,000 in bank.  Before her marriage she drew 
the money and gave it to VISCARDI and with it he bought the house at 
No. 90 Cleveland avenue, Corona.  The property was placed 
in VISCARDI's name.
	It developed during the trial of the misdemeanor charge against Mrs. 
VISCARDI yesterday that two weeks after her marriage, VISCARDI 
transferred the property to his father and he proved to be a stern 
landlord.  He brought dispossess proceedings last November and Mrs. 
VISCARDI was put into the street, although the house was practically 
hers, having been bought with her own money.  The fact that her money 
paid for the property resulted in the charge against her being dismissed.

PREFERS ALMSHOUSE TO HOME WITH HIS SONS.
	James ROWAN, an aged Scotchman, who prefers going to the almshouse to 
receiving support from his well-to-do sons, was before Magistrate 
DOOLEY to-day on a charge of begging on the streets.
	One of ROWAN's sons, who has a store at 702 Gates avenue, told 
Magistrate DOOLEY that he and his three brothers had tried in vain to 
prevent their father from begging, but he insisted on disgracing them 
by going to the Charities Commissioners and getting himself committed 
to the almshouse.  The sons had offered him a home, but he preferred 
to beg.
	Agent GODFREY, of the Children's Society, said he would find a home for 
the old man and the son promised that he would pay his board.

is the proprietor of a saloon at 137 Twenty-first street, and it is 
said that he has been approached by Frank PANASCU, brother Rocco 
PANASCU, who, with three other Italians, is alleged to have entered the 
butcher shop of Gaetano COSTA, a prosperous Italian merchant at 
Thirty-second street and Fourth avenue, on Oct 11, 1905, and after 
demanding $1,000 in the name of the Black Hand Society, shot and killed 
COSTA because he refused to pay.
	Frank PANASCI[spelling changed], it is said, has been blackmailing the 
Italians in South Brooklyn and terrifying them into promising to 
testify that his brother Rocco and his companions were in GRECCO's 
saloon on the night of the murder, PANASCI has also compelled OLIVE  
and MIORANO to try to compel GRECCO to testify to the same thing.

old, of Twenty-first street and Fourth avenue; Gira ESPOSITO, 30 years 
old, of Roosevelt street, Manhattan;  Frank COMO, 30 years old, of Van 
Brunt street, and Tony NOBILIO, who has no fixed home.  When they 
called at COSTA's shop for the money he refused to pay it, and PANASCI, 
it is said, drew a revolver, but before he could fire it, COSTA picked 
up a big knife and severely slashed NOBILIO.  Then PANASCI fired five 
shots at the butcher, the first of which killed him.
	NOBILIO, it is said, has confessed his part of the crime, and has told 
about the parts the others played.  The trial of the men will be held 
in a few days, and Frank PANASCI, brother of the alleged shooter, has

case, and since the arrest of the suspected murderers, six months ago, 
discovered the plot to prove an alibi.  In order to prevent it from

arrest a man the clerk had previously detained and whom he charged with 
having taken a phonograph record valued at $1.30 from the counter of 
the store.
Taken to the Gates avenue station, the man said he was Dr. Edwin T. 
RANDALL, 31 years old, of 139 Hancock street.  The record was in his 
possession when he was arrested.  At the station Mr. WARNER, the owner 
of the store, refused to press the charge of larceny.

SOUTH BROOKLYN-EXPLODING FIREWORKS INJURE LIEUT. M'CAHILL
Exploding fireworks at an Italian feast day celebration in South 
Brooklyn last night caused injuries to William McCAHILL, police 
lieutenant of the Bergen street station.  He received a fractured ankle 
and had his leg torn.  Some bombs were accidentally exploded near a 
large crowd of persons in the street.  Several children were knocked 
down and there was a general panic.  The explosion set fire to a

CAPT. CROSS RETIRES FROM  POLICE FORCE.
Demoted Inspector Is Suffering From Heart Trouble -- Declared Unfit.
HITCH OVER BELL - MEDAL
To Be Presented to T.J. QUILTY Instead of David J. DALY.
Police Capt. Adam A. CROSS, reduced from inspector on April 19, has 
retired from the department.  His retirement goes into effect on May 
12.  Physical disability is the cause.  CROSS is suffering from heart 
trouble.  He called on Gen. BINGHAM yesterday afternoon and want to 
quit on the spot, but on account of a mix-up in the police pay rolls, 
if such was done, the commissioner prevailed upon him to wait until the 
end of the week.  In the interim CROSS is on leave of absence.  He has 
gone out of town.

Gen. BINGHAM announced to-day that he will not award the Isaac BELL 
medal for bravery to Mounted Policeman David J. DALY.  A letter from a 
citizen stated that he has as much to do with the stopping of a runaway 
team attached to a fire engine as the "cop" did.  BINGHAM had a talk 
with the man and that settled all doubts.  Bicycle Policeman Thomas J. 
QUILTY, who stopped a runaway horse drawing a cab, in which were a man 
and woman, last June, at Forty-fifth street and Broadway, Manhattan, 
will get the BELL medal.

TUGBOAT FIREMAN BADLY BURNED AT HIS WORK

pictures and tried to chew some others.
BLUME was taken before Magistrate DOOLEY in the Adams street court and 
held for further examination.

JACK THE KISSER' BEATEN BY GIRLS
Excitement Right at Door of the Williamsburg Bridge Police Station.
MICHAEL WAGNER ARRESTED.
Says He Was Tying Shoestring;  Girls Say He Hugged Them
	An alleged "Jack the Kisser" made his appearance  upon Broadway early 
this morning and before the police could get hold of him, two dozen 
women had attacked him.  Unfortunately for "Jack", he picked out a poor 
location in which to operate.  He chose a spot less that ten feet away 
from the Williamsburg Bridge station house at 191 Broadway.
	The women who were implicated in the melee are employes of Alfred 
BENJAMIN & Company's tailoring establishment, which occupies the three 
floors over the station house building and the adjoining house, at 193 
Broadway.  More than one hundred and fifty girls and young women in the 
place, and of late they have been complaining to their foreman, Elias 
FISCHMAN, of a young man who has annoyed them in the morning as they 
passed through the hallway to their work.  For a week a watch for the 
man was kept, but he failed to show up until this morning.
	According to the girls, he was more than affectionate.  In fact, they 
told the police later that he hugged and kissed at least a dozen of the 
girls as they passed in through the hallway.  The screams of the girls 
attracted their foreman, who ran downstairs armed with a pair of 
shears.  In the hallway he found Michael WAGNER, 26 years old, of 33 
South First street.  WAGNER was dragged into the street by the foreman 
and the women, and they beat him unmercifully.
	The cries of WAGNER and the women attracted the attention of Lieut. 
John WOODS, who was behind the desk in the station house.  He, together 
with Policeman SCHILLING, ran out and got in the mix-up.  As a result 
of the fight WAGNER and FISCHMAN, the foreman, were both arrested.  In 
court WAGNER told Magistrate HIGGINBOTHAM that he had merely stepped 
into the hallway to tie his shoe and was immediately set upon by a 
crowd of women, who punched and kicked him.  The women persisted that 
WAGNER was "Jack the Kisser", but he denied it.
	The case was adjourned until to-morrow.  FISCHMAN, who had been 
arrested on a charge of disorderly conduct, explained his side of the 
story and was let go.

RUNAWAYS APPEAL TO POLICE FOR AID.
An appeal was made yesterday afternoon at local headquarters  by Daniel 
KIERNAN and Thomas CURLEY, both 16 years old, for financial assistance 
to enable them to return to their homes in Providence, R.I., where 
KIERNAN said he lived at 278 Plain street, and CURLEY at 206 Rhodes 
street.  The strangers were introduced to Acting Capt. McCAULEY, and 
they told him they had run away from home to see New York, having but 
$3 left between them after paying their fare.

The youths were sent around to the Adams street station for the night, 
and the police of Providence were telephoned to make an investigation 
of their story and notify relatives.  This morning they were taken 
before Magistrate DOOLEY in the Adams street police court and held on a 
charge of vagrancy until to-morrow.

DOG GOES CRAZY AND ATTACKS LITTLE MASTER.
GIP, a Skye terrier that was the pet of 4-year-old William H. ALT, Jr., 
met yesterday a tragic death at the hands of the boy's father, a 
well-to-do druggist living at 2744 Atlantic avenue.

Willie was playing in the back yard with the terrier, which was 12 
months old and troublesome, when a stone thrown from a neighboring yard 
struck GIP on the head and made him crazy.  The dog jumped toward its 
master, snapping viciously, but was thrown off, and the boy ran into 
the house.

In his efforts to continue the pursuit GIP broke a window by leaping 
savagely against it.  Then Willie's father, skilled in the use of the 
revolver as a result of experience in the West as a cow puncher, sent 
two bullets into the terrier's body, stretching it lifeless.

WILL MARRY THE MAN WHO SAVED HER LIFE.
Following the romance which began at Glen Lake, near Lake George, last 
summer, the engagement has just been announced of Miss Myrtle RIKER, 
chief operator of the Coney Island Telephone Exchange, and George L. 
BAILEY.  The marriage is to take place on June 1, and the couple will 
be united by the Rev. Dr. CASE, pastor of the Hanson Place Baptist 
Church.  Their honeymoon will be spent in a trip along the Atlantic 
coast, after which they will live in Elmhurst.
Miss RIKER spent her vacation at Glen Lake, and Mr. BAILEY was also a 
visitor at the resort.  While in bathing one afternoon the young woman 
was seized with a cramp, and , only for the prompt work of Mr. BAILEY 
would have drowned.  After the rescue the couple were seen together a 
great deal.  Mr. BAILEY had a motor boat and they took many trips in 
the little craft.  After they returned to Brooklyn he continued to pay 
her marked attention and his suit has finally been successful.
Mr. BAILEY is an enthusiastic yachtsman and a member of the Belle 
Harbor Yacht Club.  He is also an athlete and is well known in social 
circles.
Miss RIKER now lives at 99 South Elliott place, but at the time she met 
Mr. BAILEY was a resident of Sheepshead Bay, and she has  many friends 
in that section who will offer congratulations and wish her much 
happiness.
It was announced to-day that the wedding would be a quiet one and only 
intimate friends would be invited.  Miss RIKER is still to be found at 
her desk in the telephone exchange each day, but expects to resign 
within the next two weeks.

last night, and stole $1,000 worth of silverware, jewelry and musical 
instruments.  The robbery was reported to the police to-day.

KNOCKED FROM TROLLEY CAR BY PASSING TRUCK
While standing on the running board of a Graham avenue car last night 
William McCORMACK, 26 years old, of 218 North Henry street, was struck 
by the hubs of a passing truck, driven by Wolf DREMER, of 931 Graham 
street, and knocked to the street.  Dr. ABRAHAM of the Eastern District 
Hospital found  that both legs were bruised and cut, and removed 
McCORMACK to the hospital.

MASON'S FALL  CAUSES CONCUSSION OF BRAIN
Morris SHULMAN, a mason, 23 years old, of 314 Bristol street, is in 
Kings County Hospital, the result of a fall yesterday afternoon while 
he was at work on a scaffold on a new building at East Tenth street and 
Church avenue.  He was picked up in an unconscious condition from 
concussion of the brain and general contusions.

ROMANCE ENDED; ROLL DEPLETED.
	It was not a case of "waiting at the church" with Mary RYAN, but the 
young woman did wait patiently for a whole day at a flat for her 
pretended lover to come and get married.
	Mary RYAN is thrifty.  She saved up nearly $2,000.  When she met 
William HEIL, a man about thirty years old, who made desperate love to 
her, she became engaged to him.  After the engagement William kept 
borrowing money from her on various excuses that his own money was tied 
up and all would be well after he was married.  He wanted, he said, to 
furnish a cosey[sic] flat.
	Mary rented the flat herself and bought the wedding ring also.  The 
furniture was to arrive soon, so William told her, but she waited  and 
waited for his arrival, and all in vain.
	Then she consulted District Attorney CLARKE, Detectives DONLON and ASIP 
  found William at 10 West 109th street, Manhattan, last night, where he 
had a finely furnished flat, with an aged woman as housekeeper.  He was 
living there with "Jack TUTHILL," a clergyman.  Jack and William are 
bosom friends and "Jack" came over to Brooklyn with William and the 
officers.
	Mary says she bought out a delicatessen store at Rogers avenue and St. 
Johns place. William did not attend to business and she had to sell out 
for less than $100.  Out of $400 she invested  she only got $30 after 
all expenses were paid.
	Mary made a charge of grand larceny against William in the Adams street 
court to-day, and he was held for examination Monday.

WENT AFTER BURGLARS; GOT TWO PLAIN "JAGS"
Detective Sergeants CAULFIELD and RUDDY hustled from the Flatbush 
station to Grant street and Utica avenue early to-day in answer to a 
telephone message that burglars were operating there.  They didn't find 
burglars, nor house to "burgle," nor did they find the sender of the 
message.  But they found in a vacant lot Thomas CARROLL, of 560 Baltic 
street, and George MAULGOMERY [MONTGOMERY?], of 421 Thirteenth street, 
who later were fined $2 each in Flatbush court for intoxication.

ANY PLACE BUT JAIL WOULD SUIT RUNAWAY
"It's a bad place to fall in, is Brooklyn," said Thomas L. CURLEY, a 
boy who has spent several days in Raymond street jail as a vagrant, 
awaiting the arrival of relatives from Providence, R.I., when told my 
Magistrate DOOLEY in the Adams street court to-day that he would have 
to stay in jail until Monday.
"Can't you send me to some other place where I can get something to 
eat.  I am nearly starved," he pleaded with tears in his eyes.  "Send 
me to Elmira, please," he continued; "anywhere at all but the jail.  
I'd like to get a square meal before I go home."
"Were you ever in Elmira?" asked Magistrate DOOLEY.
"No, sir.  I don't know where it is."
"Who told you about Elmira?"
"A man at the jail."
"I can't send you anywhere but to the jail; perhaps your friends will 
come for you to-day."
	CURLEY and Daniel KIERNAN went to Police Headquarters a few nights ago 
and asked to be sent home to Providence.  They said they had  run away 
from home and had spent all their money.
	Before being taken to jail to-day Mrs. JOYCE had a "square meal" sent 
in to the boys from a nearby restaurant.  They appeared to be famished, 
they ate so ravenously.

FIRE IN JAMAICA CAUSES LOSS OF NEARLY $3000.
Fire from some unknown cause broke out on the first floor of the 
two-story and attic frame dwelling at 92 Rockaway road, Jamaica, at 
11:20 o'clock last night.  The building is occupied by August MICHLER* 
as a grocery and dwelling, and W.M. KITCHLING as a tailor shop.  Damage 
of $1000 to building; $1,000 to MICHLEN's* stock, and $800 to 
KITCHLING's stock and furniture resulted.  The building is owned by 
James MacBETH, of St. Marks avenue, Brooklyn.

MR. AND MRS. UTTAL UNABLE TO AGREE	
Interesting complications came up in the Butler street court to-day 
when Samuel UTTAL again appeared on a charge of non-support made by his 
wife, Ray.  UTTAL is a well-to-do real estate dealer and lives at 193 
Hoyt street.  His wife declared that her husband had "fixed" her lawyer 
because he [the lawyer] had attempted to bring about an amicable 
agreement between the couple.  A number of the real estate dealer's 
neighbors who have become interested in his children--Sadie, 15 years 
old, and Norma, 8 years old, were present, and when the case was called 
asked Magistrate DOOLEY to arrange an agreement to prevent the UTALL 
home from being broken up.
	As Mrs. UTTAL, who has left home and taken the children with her, 
seemed to think that no agreement could be reached, UTTAL consented to 
pay $3 a week for the support of his children.
	"Judge," said the disconsolate husband, "the trouble is that my wife 
always wanted to go out and do housework, and I wanted her home.  I 
have always done everything I could for her, although she is very 
extravagant.  She insists  on wearing $7 shoes and I have to pay $3 a 
pair for her stockings."
	Mr. and Mrs. UTTAL were ordered to appear in court on May 24 and report 
how matters were going.

FINED $10 FOR USING VILE LANGUAGE IN STREET.
George HAMILTON, of 56 Livingston street, was fined $10 by Magistrate 
DOOLEY to-day on a charge of disorderly conduct.  Detective MAHER told 
the court that HAMILTON used very insulting and vile language to a man 
on Fulton street.  The victim did not want to make a complaint, but as 
the officer was a witness of the occurrence he made the complaint 
himself.  HAMILTON pleaded guilty.

THREE JUNK DEALERS HELD FOR EXAMINATION.
Three junk dealers, Jacob PRIEGER, of 956 Third avenue, charged with 
receiving stolen goods; Louis HIRSCH, of 860 Third avenue, charged with 
having no license, and Jacob LEMMON, of 958 Third avenue, charged with 
having improper entries, were all held for examination in the Butler 
street court this morning.

12 May 1907
PICKEREL LAD LOSES LEG STEALING RIDE
Eight-year-old Michael PICKEREL, whose parents live at 534 Driggs 
avenue, was stealing a ride on a Crosstown car last night when at North 
Ninth street and Driggs avenue he fell under the wheels of the car and 
sustained such lacerations of the left leg that it was necessary late 
last night to amputate the leg in the Eastern District Hospital, where 
he was taken by Dr. SNYDER.

"Hitchers" Cause Fatal Runaway on Williamsburg Bridge
A runaway on the Williamsburg Bridge last night resulted in the driver 
of the runaway team being almost instantly killed.  The victim this 
time is Charles KIEFER, 40 years old, a furniture mover, who lived at 
57 Drydock street, Manhattan.  KIEFER'S team was in the middle of the 
bridge on the way to Manhattan when they ran away.
	A crowd of boys jumped on the back of the truck as it reached the 
middle of the structure.  KIEFER turned and yelled to the boys to get 
off.  His shouts frightened the horses and they started to run.  KIEFER 
reached to get hold of the lines and in doing so he fell between the 
horses and was trampled upon.  Two wheels of the wagon passed over the 
man's body.  KIEFER died as he was being placed in an ambulance.  The 
boys who were responsible for the accident got away in the excitement.

HORSE IS FATALLY HURT BY ENGINE.
A team of horses attached to a delivery wagon and driven by Edward 
BURKE, while going along Nevins street yesterday afternoon was struck 
by fire engine No. 126 on its way to a fire at Atlantic avenue and 
Nevins street.  One horse was so badly injured that it was shot by 
Policeman MARTIN to put it out of misery.  The horse's leg was 
amputated by the engine.

VICTIM REFUSES TO MAKE ANY COMPLAINT
Unknown Colored Man Stabs White at Coney Island
A gang of young men were standing at the corner of President and Court 
street last night, when a dispute arose.  Thomas KIRKEBY, an 
eight-year-old newsboy, of 244 President street, was passing the spot 
when Joseph GILLIN, 18 years old, of 170 State street, stepped out from 
the crowd and said: "I'll try it on the kid."  With that he struck 
young KIRKEBY on the head.  The boy remonstrated, but GILLEN* hit him 
once more.
	With that KIRKEBY drew a pocketknife and, opening the blade, stabbed 
his assailant twice in the arm.  GILLEN fell to the street.  The boy 
closed his knife, folded his arms on his breast and said:
	"Now call a cop; I only did it in self defense."
When a policeman arrived GILLEN refused to make a complaint against the 
boy, saying that it was all his fault and that he should not have 
started the trouble by hitting the little fellow, who was passing him 
and minding his own business.
	Dr. BENJAMIN was summoned from the Long Island College Hospital.  He 
dressed GILLEN's wounds and sent him to his home.
	During an altercation at Coney Island last night Arthur TAYLOR, 33 
years old, was stabbed on the left side of his neck by an unknown 
colored man.  TAYLOR lives at 247 East New York avenue and was taken to 
the Brownsville station house, where his wound was dressed by an 
ambulance surgeon from St. Mary's Hospital.

Greenpoint- DESERTS GREENPOINT AFTER MANY YEARS.

nearly a quarter of a century, left during the past week for Cushing, 
Me., where he intends residing permanently.  Mr. GORDON resided at 108 
Calyer street.  He was a member of Reliance Lodge, No. 776, F.& A.M., 
and one of the most widely respected citizens of the Williamburg 
section.

WOMAN SAYS NEIGHBOR TRIED TO KILL HER.
John JEHBICA, of Kimball road and Flatlands, was held for examination 
in $500 in the Coney Island court yesterday on a charge of attempting 
to kill Mrs. Mary MOHLBERG a neighbor  who lives nearby.
	The complainant swore that the defendant had been constantly annoying 
her and said that a few days ago he sent her a note threatening to kill 
himself and he filled her "vain head with bullets."  She told 
Magistrate VOORHEES that she was sitting in the window of her home at 
dusk last night when JEHBICA stopped on the sidewalk opposite where she 
was and fired five shots at her from a revolver.  She said the bullets 
whizzed past her head and "smashed the glass in two panes."
	The accused denied the sending of the threatening letter and the firing 
of the pistol shots.  Mrs. MOHLBERG told Magistrate VOORHEES that she 
would bring the letter and witnesses to the shooting the next time the 
case is called in court.

SAW FELL FROM WINDOW, HIT GIRL.
Mae SHERIDAN, 21 years old, while standing in front of her home, 898 
Myrtle avenue, last night was struck by a saw which fell from the 
fourth story window of 890 Myrtle avenue.  Dr. VOLK, who responded to 
an ambulance call from the Bushwick Hospital, said that Mae had a 
broken arm.  She was taken home.

NOTE: The following article follows the murder of a strike breaker:
See 13 May 1907

HIRING ANYBODY
	The tie-up of the shipping along the Brooklyn water front became worse 
to-day, and the steamship officials were forced to admit there is no 
telling when the delayed steamships will sail.  The situation became so 
critical that the stevedores did not discriminate in hiring new men, 
and a few gangs of negroes, Hungarians and Poles were set to work at 
piers where under ordinary circumstances they would not have been taken on.
	The steamship Tintoretta  will leave Pier 8, of the Lamport & Hope line 
to-morrow one-third loaded.  The Tintoretta is an unusually large 
steamship, and the new hands were unable to cope with the heavy work 
incidental to loading it.  Supt. GERRIS is emphatic in his assertion 
that there is not the slightest hitch in the work, but despite these 
declarations it is evident that very little freight is being moved.
	Late Saturday afternoon about 500 men who had replaced the striking 
longshoremen left their posts and vowed not to return to work.  It 
seems that the heavy labor began to tell on the green men so badly they 
were unable to stick it out the remainder of the afternoon.
	LOTS OF NEGROES TURNED DOWN
At the Ward Line piers work was going on swimmingly to-day.  The local 
superintendent, Mr. ROSS, was very careful about the men he hired, and 
hundreds of negroes who had thronged through the Ward piers expecting 
jobs were turned away for one reason or another.
	Negroes were much in evidence along the docks, and they were viewed by 
the strikers with extreme disdain.  About seventy-five negroes were 
given employment at the Munson Line where the work is creepingly slow.  
The piers of the Munson Line are almost impassable, every nook and 
cranny being occupied with boxes and bags that await removal to the 
stores.
	UNION GAINS MEMBERS
The newly formed Longshoremen's Union, consisting almost entirely of 
Italians, with headquarters at 86-88 Union street, has gained 1,000 
members, making a membership of 7,000.  If the plans of the committee 
are carried out all the 12,000 longshoremen now on strike here will 
eventually be admitted into the organization.
	Nino SABATTINO, the wealthy Italian who is the moving spirit of the new 
organization, and also its financial backer, was jubilant to-day over 
what he says is the radical improvement in the strike situation.  Here 
is what SABATTINO had to say:
	"I don't think the steamship men will hold out much longer.  They 
can't do it with the men they have working now.  I hear they would like 
to submit the matter to arbitration.  Well, we may consider that, but I 
want to say right now we will not budge one inch in our original 
demands.  I am thoroughly satisfied with the way our men are behaving.  
They are not even hanging around the piers, but spend their time in 
their homes or at the headquarters of the union."
	"There is a rumor the steamship men are willing to pay the 
longshoremen 40 cents an hour for day work, but not more than the old 
scale for night work.  What is your attitude on that proposition?" he 
was asked.	
ANOTHER CONFERENCE TO-DAY.
	"It is hardly necessary for me to say that the strikers will insist 
upon 60 cents an hour for night work.  I think we have the support of 
the public in our fight, and why should we make even the slightest 
concession?  I might add that a committee of the union will hold a 
conference with the representatives of the stevedores this afternoon, 
though I am strongly inclined to believe nothing will be accomplished."
	Persons  representing both the stevedores and the longshoremen are of 
the opinion that the present strike will be one of the longest 
struggles ever waged between capital and labor.
	At the Barber line piers, Atlantic Basin, the three hundred negroes who 
had formerly been employed by the Ward line, but who went over en masse 
to the Barber people, were still at work.  There is only one boat at 
these piers and she will be ready to sail on schedule time.
	Everything was quiet at the Bush docks, and it is hardly expected there 
will be an outbreak.  Nevertheless the police increased their  
vigilance at all piers, but this was due to the large number of men who 
made their appearance along shore early in the morning.
	NO STRIKE AT MILLS
The ARBUCKLE SUGAR REFINERY men did not quit work for good at noon 
to-day, as had been announced was their intention.  They will hold a 
meeting to-morrow night.
	The steamship Usher arrived  at the foot of Jay street to-day, but 
there were no men on hand to unload her.
	FIGHTS IN HOBOKEN
Two fights between strikers and private detectives guarding steamship 
piers took place early to-day in Hoboken, but the strikers were driven 
back before they had time to get inside the dock gates.
	In Manhattan, while no scenes of violence took place, the men are in a 
far uglier mood than  they were on Saturday or yesterday, and trouble 
is looked for before nightfall.
	The last of the strikers to receive their back pay were paid off to-day 
at Pier 48, North River.   The men seemed to be in a cheerful mood 
while standing in line, but those who lined the opposite curb kept 
shouting to the others to get inside the shed and kill the strike breakers.

GIRL IN FLAMES AND ALONE IN THE FLAT.
Tried to Find Leak in Gas Pipe With the Aid of Lighted Match.
Mary MICULICZ, 20 years old, of 658 Sackett street, was badly burned on 
the face, arms and shoulders by an explosion, caused by a leak in the 
gas pipe at her home this morning.  She was attended and had her burns 
bandaged by Dr. Richards, of Seney Hospital.  She refused to be taken 
to the hospital.
	The burned woman lives at the above address with her cousin, Miss 
Fannie LINDEMAN.  This morning two plumbers were in the house repairing 
a leak in the gas pipe in the front room.  After they had gone, Mary, 
who is a German and unable to speak English, thought she smelled  gas, 
and on examining the pipes, discovered a large hole in them.  She 
struck a match to see whether gas was escaping from the leak and 
instantly there was a terrific explosion.  The girl was standing with 
her face near the pipe.
	A huge jet of flame leaped out and burned the upper part of her body 
and her face frightfully.  There was no one else in the flat with her 
at the time, and she rushed back and forth through the rooms screaming 
with pain.
	A woman living across the hall ran into the room, and when she saw the 
flame bursting from the leak hurried out and turned in a fire alarm.  
Patrolman McGLOIN, of the Bergen street station, heard the screams of 
the girl from the street and met her coming down the stairs.  She 
collapsed on the stairs and the policeman smothered her burning waist 
with his coat and carried her to the house next door, where flour was 
applied to her burns.
	McGLOIN then went back to where the fire was supposed to be and found 
nothing was afire but the gas which was escaping from the leak.  He 
turned off the gas at the meter, and when the fire engines arrived 
everything was quiet.

ROWDIES THROW WOMAN FROM CAR.
Mrs. WILLKOMMEN Unconscious When Picked Up and Taken Away in Ambulance.
POLICE BREAK UP FREE FIGHT.
Two Men Arrested, But Discharged for Lack of Evidence
	A crowd of young rowdies on a Graham avenue car mad an unprovoked 
assault upon Mrs. Bertha WILLKOMMEN, of 960 Myrtle avenue, while she 
was on her way home early this morning, and had it not been for the 
timely arrival of a policeman from the Clymer street station the woman 
might have been mortally injured.  Two arrests were made and to-day, in 
the Lee avenue court, the prisoners were let go as no one appeared to 
make a complaint.
	Mrs. WILLKOMMEN had been visiting friends and when she left for home 
about midnight she boarded a Graham avenue car.  On the car were a 
number of young men who were skylarking and insulting the passengers.  
As the car reached Broadway two of the men caught Mrs. WILLKOMMEN and 
threw her off the car.  The other women passengers began to scream and 
great excitement ensued.  Passengers seized some of the rowdies and 
then there was a pitched battle, in which even the women took part.  
Some of the latter had their wearing apparel and hats torn.  A crowd 
gathered aroung the car and the motorman was unable to go one way or 
the other.  Some one telephoned to police headquarters that a riot   
was in progress and the reserves were turned out of the Clymer street 
station.
	Before they arrived Policeman Geo. PATTON happened along and with his 
nightstick succeeded in driving the mob back.  The crowd became so 
demonstrative that PATTON drew his revolver and threatened to shoot.  
He then picked out James REEDY, 27 years old, of 956 Gates avenue, and 
James KEELY, 25 years old, of 751 East 138th street, Manhattan.  They 
denied having been implicated in the row, but PATTON took them to the 
station house, where they were held on a charge of assault.
	Mrs. WILLKOMMEN was placed in the patrol wagon and taken to the Clymer 
street station in an unconscious condition.  There she was attended by 
Dr. SNYDER, of the Eastern District Hospital, who wanted to remove her 
to the hospital, but upon her own request she was taken home.
	When the case was called in court to-day, Mrs. WILLKOMMEN failed to 
appear, and as there was nothing to show that KEELY and REEDY were her 
assailants, they were set free.

AUTO RUNS AMUCK ON A FERRYBOAT--
Knocks One Man Into River, Breaks Another's Leg, and Causes a Panic.
WOMAN PASSENGER FAINTS---
Machine Escapes Going Overboard--Chauffeur Arrested.
	Only the guard chain on the ferryboat Babylon, plying between Long 
Island City and Thirty-fourth street, Manhattan, saved a runaway 
automobile from plunging into the East River to-day.  The big machine, 
which had been deserted momentarily by its chauffeur, bearing a woman 
passenger in the tonneau, suddenly started forward, bowling one man 
into the river and injuring two.  Its rear wheels and machinery caught 
in the heavy chain, and the snorting, panting car was held suspended 
over the water fully 100 feet from the slip.
	The machine is the property of William B. KAUFMAN, of 218 West 122d 
street, Manhattan.  It was in charge of Chauffeur John J. RYAN, who 
lives in Yonkers.  Preparatory to the landing of the ferryboat shortly 
after 8 o'clock RYAN started the engine going and left the car for a 
moment.  Without warning the heavy vehicle started forward.  There were 
frightened shouts by several passengers who were struck.  James B. 
MORTON, 22 years old, of Brenton, L.I., was thrown headlong into the 
river and for a long time the car looked as though it would plunge 
overboard.
	The woman, whose name was not ascertained, jumped in time to save 
herself, although she immediately fainted.  As the pilot discovered the 
accident from the pilot house, he gave the signal to back water and the 
ferryboat came to a stop, while a line was thrown to MORTON, struggling 
in the river.  Then a score of the passengers gripped the rear wheels 
and dragged the auto back to the roadway.  Some one had presence of 
mind enough to stop the machinery.
	MORTON was taken to Bellevue Hospital suffering from shock and internal 
injuries.  John McCABE, of Farmingdale, was found to have received a 
fractured leg.  He was also taken to Bellevue.  Leonard KONETSKY, 18 
years old, of Astoria, was knocked down and bruised.
	Chauffeur RYAN was arrested for criminal negligence.  At the station 
house he was found to be without a chauffeur's license.

COUNT DENIES INSULTING YOUNG GIRL; FINED $2
	Count Roberto FLACCI NOVI, the Italian who was brought before 
Magistrate O'REILLY in the Manhattan avenue court last Friday, charged 
with disorderly conduct by 16-year-old Marion AXSELBAND, was to-day 
found guilty and fined $2.  The count, it was alleged , accosted the 
girl on the street and followed her into a hallway, where her screams 
brought a large crowd of women, who chased him for several blocks.  He 
denied that his conduct was improper, and said that he simply asked her 
if she knew where a friend of his lived.
	Count NOVI's fine was paid by Antonio M. CARIDI, secretary to 
ex-Coroner ZUCCA, who testified to his right to the title.  Mr. CARIDI 
said that the Count was the son of a former chief justice of the Naples 
Court of Appeals, and that his brother, Count Guido NOVI, was a 
professor in the Naples University.  The nobleman said in court to-day 
that he came to America seven months ago on a trip to see the country, 
but, obtaining a position with a Manhattan wine exporting firm, decided 
to remain here.

MAN BADLY INJURED IN THREE-CORNERED FIGHT
During a fight early to-day at Wallabout street and Broadway, between 
Michael ROSS and Michael TAKER*, of 660 Broadway, and John H. FRANZIER, 
of 50 Hamburg avenue, ROSS was knocked down and rendered insensible.  
Policeman JOYCE, of the Clymer street station, being attracted by the 
clamor, arrested BAKER* and FRANZIER and summoned an ambulance  from 
the Eastern District Hospital.  Surgeon SNYDER, who responded, had 
found ROSS suffering from a compound fracture of the right leg, shock 
and internal injuries.  In the Lee avenue court to-day BAKER and 
FRANZIER were held for a hearing on a charge of assault.

to-day pleaded not guilty to the charge of grand larceny.  BLUM was 
arrested in San Francisco and brought here by Lieut. John B. COGLAN.

from the factory of Frederick SEIFTER, 265 Stanhope street, on the 
night of may 26, 1906.  Three of the others implicated in the crime 
have been captured.  They are believed to belong to an organized band 
of fur thieves who have succeeded in stealing many thousand dollars 
worth of furs of recent years.  BLUM will be tried next week.

CHARGED WITH ASSAULT==BY HIS STEP-MOTHER
William GREEN,a brother of Policeman GREEN, of the Fulton street 
station, was arrested at his home, 128 York street, this morning by 
Officer McGANN, who had a warrant charging him with assault upon his 
step-mother, Catherine GREEN, with whom he lives.
	GREEN told Magistrate DOOLEY that his stepmother tried to snatch a 
piece of bread from him at the table and he threw up his hands to 
prevent her.  She had a knife in her hand and was cut.  Magistrate 
DOOLEY paroled him until Thursday.

CHASE FOR MADMAN NEAR THE COURT HOUSE.
Much excitement was caused in front of the Court House shortly before 1 
o'clock to-day by an insane man who broke loose from his friends who 
were taking him to Kings Park on a Flatbush avenue car.
	The man was Max HALOPSKY, of 133 Henry street, Manhattan.  His wife, 
sister-in-law and father were accompanying him to the insane asylum.  
Near the Court House HALOPSKY became terribly excited.
	He jumped off the car as it was passing Joralemon street, and made such 
a scene in the street that a large crowd gathered in a few minutes.
	Traffic Officer KANE, with another policeman attached to the Bedford 
avenue station, managed to get him to the Adams street station followed 
by a long procession of people.
	HALOPSKY is under the impression that he is a millionaire.  His wife 
says business reverses brought about his mental condition.
	Lieut. SWEENEY telephoned to the Charities Department and a carriage 
was sent to take the patient to Kings Park.

MOTHER'S COMPLAINT FAILS;  HELD ON BROTHER'S CHARGE.
"Mother can't say that I don't work, your honor.  I worked last week," 
said 16-year-old Leland PETTERS*, of 8746 Bay Fifteenth street, in the 
Coney Island court to-day.  He was charged with vagrancy by his mother, 
Minnie H. PETERS*.  Magistrate STEERS discharged him.
The lad was not long allowed his freedom, for he was immediately 
rearrested on a charge of larceny preferred by his brother, Benjamin, 
who said that Leland had stolen a silver watch that was his property.  
Magistrate STEERS fixed bail at $500 and held Leland for examination.

MRS. HAZELTON 100 YEARS OLD
---Three Generations, Neighbors and Church Celebrate Event
---LIKES TEA AND COFFEE---
Never Once Required Services of a Physician
Mrs. Maria HAZELTON, who lives with her granddaughter, Mrs. Chas. 
HEINKING, at 257 Woodbine street, celebrated her one hundredth 
anniversary yesterday, and the house was crowded with her children, 
grandchildren and great-grandchildren.  Many neighbors dropped in to 
congratulate the elderly lady, and when the last guest had departed she 
remarked that although she expected to live for many years yet to come 
she never expected to have a better time.
	Mrs. HAZELTON has two children living, thirteen grandchildren and 
twenty-two great-grandchildren.  She was born in County Tyrone, 
Ireland, and there was married nearly eighty years ago.  She was 43 
years old when she came to this country with her husband and four 
children.  They settled in the Williamsburg section when that was a 
farming district.  Fifty years ago her husband died, and she went to 
Chicago to live.  After the great fire she came back East and again 
settled in Williamsburg.
	The Bushwick Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church sent a big delegation of 
its oldest members to the house yesterday, and a little prayer meeting 
was held form Mrs. HAZELTON's benefit.  She joined in the singing of 
her favorite hymns and surprised all by remembering every word without 
having to refer to the book.
	Mrs. HAZELTON said that she never remembered being sick enough to have 
a doctor attend her.  "I never stinted myself on tea or coffee.  I 
always drank just as much of both as I cared for, and I don't remember 
a day that I have not taken one or the other," she said.  In other 
statements of the same trend Mrs. HAZELTON convinced those around her 
that she is a firm advocate of tea and coffee drinking.

WINDOW SMASHER AND TWO FRIENDS ARRESTED.
	Patrick SWEENEY, 23 years old, of 44 Fleet street, was held for 
examination by Magistrate DOOLEY, in the Adams Street Court, yesterday, 
on a charge of malicious mischief.  Eugene HOFFMAN, of 203 Myrtle 
avenue, charges that SWEENEY smashed a plate glass window in his store 
Saturday night.
	While Officer BROSNAN was taking SWEENEY to the station house, Thomas 
CALLAHAN and William O'BRIEN followed and were so abusive that BROSNAN 
made them prisoners also, charging them with disorderly conduct.
	They, too, were held for examination.

"COPS" KNOWLEDGE OF GERMAN HELPS HIM OUT.
Patrolman Frederick WENDEBERG, of the Adams street station, who is a 
native of Germany, heard shouts for help in his native tongue coming 
from 27 Prince street at 1 o'clock this morning.  He rapped for 
assistance, and accompaniedby Patrolman McGOWN, who responded, he 
entered the house.  There he found Herman HEIDELBURG in the clutches of 
two colored women who gave their names as Martha NIXON and Jennie 
WALKER.  Both said they lived in the house.
	HEIDELBURG could not speak English fluently enough to give his version 
of the trouble in that tongue, but Patrolman WENDEBERG's knowledge of 
German obviated that difficulty.  HEIDELBURG said that he was enticed 
into the house by the two women who refused to let him go.
	In the Adams street court later the women were held on a charge of 
disorderly conduct.  WENDEBERG is now a candidate for the position of 
German detective.

BROOKLYN MAN BUYS ORANGE COUNTY ESTATE.
MIDDLETOWN, May 13,---Henry BACON, of Brooklyn, has bought from A.R. 
LOWETH his noted stock farm in Goshen, on which traces of blue

MOTHER BADLY BURNED TRYING TO SAVE SON.
	Mrs. Emily ACKMAN, of 336 West Forty-second street, Manhattan, was 
badly burned to-day while going to the rescue of her one and a half 
year old son, whose clothes had caught fire.
	The two were taken to Roosevelt Hospital, where both are in a serious 
condition.

FOUND IN WIDOW'S ROOM' HELD AS A BURGLAR
Arrested as a suspicious character last night and charged with burglary 
this morning was the fate of Nicholas COE, 21 years old, of 1374 
Broadway, very respectable looking and dressed in the height of fashion.
	COE was arrested at the instigation of Simon B. CRANE, a court officer 
in the County Court, who claims to have found the man in the apartments 
of Mrs. Clara LOBDELL, a widow, with whom CRANE makes his home, at 7 
Palmetto street.
	COE denied he was ransacking the room.  He started to tell how he got 
the keys to enter the rooms, when Magistrate HYLAN interposed and told 
him he had better wait until he had been advised by counsel before 
saying anything as it might be used against him.  The case was then set 
over for a hearing on May 15, and the young man held in $1,000 bail.

COREY MAY NOT GET A MINISTER TO TIE KNOT.
An added interest was given lately to gossip about the wedding of 
William E. COREY, head of the Steel trust, to Miss Mabelle GILMAN, the 
actress, which is to take place at the Hotel Gotham to-night, by a 
report that COREY has been unable to secure an Episcopalean[sic] 
clergyman to tie the knot, and might have to call in a magistrate to 
officiate.  A dispatch from Pittsburg, however, says a personal friend 
of COREY, who occupies a pulpit there, has started for New York to-day 
to perform the ceremony.
	Bishop BURGESS' strong words a week ago, when he said the marriage of a 
man divorced under such circumstances as COREY was could never take 
place in the Long Island diocese, and that no self-respecting minister 
would officiate at the COREY wedding, are believed to have influenced 
preachers against consenting to officiate.
	After the ceremony the COREYS will go direct to the KAISER WILHELM II., 
at her Hoboken pier.  They will occupy the captain's suite.

NEGRO ACCUSED OF ANNOYING WHITE GIRLS
Jesse GILMORE, a negro, 23 years old, who refused his address, was sent 
to jail for five days by Magistrate DOOLEY yesterday on a charge of 
intoxication made by Patrolman  NOON, of the Adams street station.
	The sentence was imposed on the officer's statement that GILMORE had 
insulted women in Remsen street.  NOON stated that a complaint would 
probably be made against GILMORE by some of the women he had annoyed.  
Thus far no complainant has appeared.  GILMORE ran into the officer's 
arms late Saturday night while fleeing from the wrath of a young man 
named James O'CONNOR, an athlete, who happened to see the negro 
annoying women as they walked along Remsen street, near Clinton.  He 
made the charge upon which GILMORE was arrested.
	A charge of assault was also made against GILMORE by Officer NOON, who 
says he resisted arrest.

PRINTER FOUND DYING IN FRONT OF WRONG HOUSE.
	ROBERT NICHOLL, 35 years old, a printer, who lives at 92 Wilson street, 
was removed to the Eastern District Hospital early this morning in a 
dying condition.  He is suffering from a probably fracture of the skull 
as well as scalp wounds and contusions of the right leg.  He was found 
lying in a pool of blood in front of 116 Taylor street early this 
morning by Policemen MAXWELL and O'CONNOR, of the Clymer street 
station.  They took him to the station house where papers in his 
clothes disclosed his identity.
	NICHOLL was unconscious when brought into the station house, but the 
police are of the opinion that he mistook the Taylor street for his own 
home and in going up the stairs had missed his footing and fell backwards.

THREE ARRESTS FOR SPEED LAW VIOLATIONS.
Three arrests for auto speeding were made on the Hoffman Boulevard in

Joseph BALLARD, chauffeur for F.W. WOOLWORTH, of Manhattan.

14 May 1907
TURNED OUT OF HOME BY HER BROTHER-IN-LAW
Cast out from the shelter of her brother-in-law's home, 15-yaer-old 
Mary RAPPAPORT threw herself on the mercy of big Patrolman BERNARD, of 
the Coney Island station, on Surf avenue, last night.  She told him 
that she was homeless and needed shelter.  She was taken to the station 
house.
There she told the sergeant that she had lived with her brother-in-law, 
Benjamin BRODY, a B.R.T. inspector, at 2406 Gravesend avenue.  Last 
Sunday, she had paid a visit to a sister in Manhattan, and on her 
return had been told she could no longer live in her brother-in-law's 
home.
The patrolman and the girl went around to the address of BRODY, and 
were informed that Mary was not wanted there.  BRODY, it was learned, 
was in bed and would not be disturbed.  The girl was charged with 
vagrancy and sent to the Children's Society.

HIT POLICEMAN DURING DISPUTE ON TROLLEY CAR.
Frederick WALKE, 34 years old, of 115 West Thirtieth street, Manhattan, 
was arrested last night by Patrolman Arthur HOFFMAN, of the Bergen 
street station, on a Flatbush car at Lafayette avenue and taken before 
Magistrate NAUMER in the Myrtle avenue court to-day charged with 
assault on the officer and disorderly conduct.  He was accused by the 
conductor, Abraham TOBAC, of having rung up five fares and refusing to 
pay for them.
During the dispute the policeman who was riding on the front platform, 
went inside to stop the disturbance.  Then, the officer says, WALKE hit 
him on the jaw.  Examination was set for Thursday, and the bail was 
continued.

WIND BLEW OUT THE GAS; MAN NEARLY ASPHYXIATED.
Forgetting to turn our the gas, William MALLAGA, 25 years old, a 
shoemaker, of 222 Hamburg avenue, went to bed in a rear room last 
night.  During the night the wind blew out the flame and escaping gas 
overcame him.  He was attended by a surgeon from the German Hospital 
and later went to work.

MISSING FRED HANLON HOME; FAMILY MUM
After having been missing from his home at Voorhees avenue and East 
Twenty-first street, in the Sheepshead Bay section, since April 27, 
Frederick O. HANLON, ex-secretary of the Coney Island Jockey Club, 
quite as strangely returned last night.  His family refuses to discuss 
where he has been, but said he was ill and would see no one.
	On April 27, HANLON, who is an intimate friend of Lawyer Dan O'REILLY, 
who was connected with the THAW trial, left his home.  Two days later 
his wife received a note which said she would never see her husband 
again.  HANLON's friends scoured the section.  Some went to Washington, 
D.C., where it was thought he might have gone, and Dan O'REILLY caused 
a thorough search to be made throughout Manhattan.
	Last night, at about 10 o'clock, as Edward HEFFNER, a well-known 
horseman of Sheepshead Bay, was returning to his home along Voorhees 
avenue, near Ocean avenue, he saw a man leaning against a fence.  A 
voice  in the darkness called out, "Hello, Ed."  HEFFNER approached the 
man and found him to be the missing HANLON.
	HEFFNER was under the impression HANLON had returned earlier in the day 
and was out for a walk.  He went to the HANLON home to congratulate 
Mrs. HANLON on the return of her husband.  She was astonished at what 
he said, but when she learned the full import of it hastened from the 
house, accompanied by HEFFNER and Frank JAMESON, a neighbor, to greet 
her husband.  He was taken back to the house.

JAGONMOX INJURED BY FALL FROM WAGON.
Fred JAGONMOX, 44 years old, of 44 Jamaica avenue, fell from a wagon at 
Putnam and Ridgewood avenues last night.  He was taken to the German 
Hospital suffering from contusions.

BURGLARS LEAVE NOTE FOR VICTIMS.
Enter Home of DREYERS, on Dean Street, and Cook Breakfast After Looting House.
TOOK ALL THE SILVERWARE
Gentlemanly Letter of Explanation Fails to Soothe.
Burglars entered the home of Charles W. DREYER, a hat manufacturer, at 
1298 Dean street, early yesterday morning, and after thoroughly looting 
the basement and parlor floors, selecting with an eye of connoisseurs 
the most valuable of silverware, choosing with excellent taste the 
latest spring clothing of Mr. DREYER's, and then apparently well 
satisfied with their labors and having considerable time on their 
hands, laid covers for two, using only the best chinaware and cut 
glass, sat down and partook of a light breakfast that they had prepared 
on the gas stove.  Then, before leaving, the intruders wrote a note to 
the mistress of the house in which they attempted to console her for 
her loss by declaring they believed her to be the richest lady on the block.
	The DREYERS retired early Sunday night and as usual saw that all doors 
were locked securely.  Yesterday morning when the maid, Ellen 
GALLAGHER, came downstairs she found everything in disorder.  She at 
once made a hurried inspection of the house and found all of the doors 
leading to the street unlocked.  On the dining room table were the 
remains of the breakfast the burglars had partaken of.  The maid 
notified Mr. and Mrs. DREYER and it was then that they discovered their 
losses.  All of the small silverware was taken.  There was not a knife, 
fork or spoon left in the house.  In the closet where Mr. DREYER's 
clothing was kept it was seen that they had taken two of his light 
spring overcoats.  The selection of these demonstrated that the 
burglars were gentlemen of the most fastidious taste.  The articles 
stolen are valued at $600.
	On the table, beside a plate, was a note which contained an explanation 
for the liberty the burglars took.  In writing it they evidently wished 
to please the DREYER's  by stating that they selected that house in 
particular because they had been led to believe the DREYERS were the 
richest people on the block and that an early morning visit would prove 
quite fruitful.  They then concluded the note by declaring that their 
expectations had been far more than realized and they had mad out much 
better than they expected.
	The note failed to soothe the DREYERS.  Mrs. DREYER said this morning 
that as far as silverware was concerned, she would have to begin 
housekeeping over again.  The burglars evidently entered by the means 
of skeleton keys, for none of the doors showed the marks of having been 
forced.  It is believed that entrance was gained through the basement 
door in the rear, opening out to the back yard, which is only separated 
from a vacant lot by a small fence.  However, the fact that all the 
doors on the basement and parlor floors were unlocked and standing 
open, has proven an obstacle in learning just where the men did enter.
	This problem, while it is of some concern to the police of the Atlantic 
avenue station, does not bother Mrs. DREYER in the least.  She is more 
anxious about getting her property back, although she expressed some 
doubts as to ever seeing it again.

15 May 1907
OVERCOME BY FUMES WHILE MIXING PAINT.
Arnold BURKE, 25 years old, of 168 Cooper street, and Alfred Eckerman, 
18, of 85 Sackman street, were overcome yesterday afternoon by the 
fumes of a liquid paint, with which they were preparing to coat a huge 
tank at Stone avenue and Bergen street.  At Bradford Street Hospital 
they were placed out of danger.

HONOR TO DR. BARTH
Greeting to a Distinguished German Visitor
Dr. Theodore BARTH, the eminent German leader in politics and in 
letters, was the guest of honor last evening at a dinner at the 
University Club, Fifth avenue and Fifty-fourth street, Manhattan, by 
Harold G. VILLARD and Oswald G. VILLARD, of the "Evening Post".  The 
company  of fifty included representative Americans and 
German-Americans in professional and in business life, those from 
Brooklyn being:
ex-Mayor Charles A. SCHIEREN
Edward M. SHEPARD
St.Clair McKELWAY and Herbert L. BRIDGMAN;
Among  the others being :
Jacob H. SCHIFF
President A. Barton HEPBURN of the Chase National Bank,
Isaac N. SELIGMAN
George F. VIETOR
James SPEYER
Edmund Clarence  STEDMAN
Herman RIDDER
Richard  Watson GILDER
George HARVEY
Horace WHITE
Walter H. PAGE
Rollo OGDEN
Robert UNDERWOOD JOHNSON
Hart LYMAN
H.J. WRIGHT.
After the service Oswald VILLARD in his greeting to Dr. BARTH spoke at 
some length of his long and useful service to Germany and to America, 
welcoming him for his fourth visit of observation and study to this 
country, and congratulating both countries upon the fact that although 
the Berlin "Nation.\," of which Dr. BARTH was long an editor, has been 
suspended, the "Frankfurter Zeitung." two of the most powerful dailies, 
will publish the results of his American visit.  Dr. BARTH, in his 
response, discussed the work of the liberal idea and the liberal party 
in the German system of government, declaring that the three great 
nations, Germany, Great Britain and America, should maintain cordial 
amity and co-operation, and, referring to the approaching peace 
conference at The Hague, predicted that if the single principle of 
immunity from seizure of private property on the sea as on the land 
could be established, a great step toward international disarmament 
would be achieved.  Prof. Kuno FRANKE, of Harvard, took a different 
point of view of German politics from Dr. BARTH but fully endorsed his 
declarations as to the need of essential co-operation and harmony 
between Germany and America.  Dr. Felix ADLER pointed out eloquently 
the achievements and attainments of the democratic idea in America, as 
realized in the popular esteem and reverence for WASHINGTON and 
LINCOLN, while Edward M. SHEPARD concluded the addresses of the evening 
with a vigorous appeal for international peace, characterizing the 
Mexican and Spanish wars as cowardly and crimes against civilization, 
and putting upon journalists the responsibility for the public 
sentiment and public opinion, the real and most powerful rulers of the 
nations.  The evening was one of exceptional interest and significance, 
and indicates important results from Dr. BARTH's presence in America

TWO BOYS CHARGED WITH BREAKING INTO HOUSE.
Walter SMITH, 16 years old, of 128 Twenty-first street, and Alexander 
BUDWICKER, 17 years old, of 95 Twentieth street, were held in $300 bail 
each until Friday by Magistrate TIGHE in the Butler street court to-day 
on a charge of unlawful entry.  Last night Patrolman Corneilius 
BRADLEY, of the Fourth avenue station, caught the boys coming out of an 
unoccupied house at 266 Seventh street.  He placed them under arrest

away in the cellar.  The complaint was made by Charles BENNETT, of 445 
Fifth avenue.

CONEY ISLAND WOMAN VICTIM OF HIGHWAYMAN
In an encounter with a hold-up man Mrs. Louisa BOYLE, of 2921 West 
Twenty-third street, Coney Island, was robbed last night of a hand bag 
containing $20.  She struggled with the thief, who surprised her at the 
corner of Surf avenue and West Twentieth street, as she was returning 
home at 9 o'clock, and succeeded in saving a gold bracelet, which the 
man dropped in the tussle.  Then she screamed  and chased him for 
several blocks, but he got away by leaping over a fence at Railroad 
avenue.
This was but one of several daring hold-ups that recently have 
frightened Coney Island women.  Mrs. BOYLE reported the robbery to the 
police, but as yet they have not succeeded in making any arrests.

CAR WRECKS AUTO; SIX BADLY INJURED.
Vehicles Meet Head On at Sharp Curve in Eastern District.
REFUSE TO GO TO HOSPITAL.
Auto Party Calls Another Motor to Take Them Home
	Half a dozen people were painfully injured early this morning in a 
collision between an automobile and a trolley car of the Tompkins 
avenue line, at Wilson  street and Division avenue.  The auto, a big 
red touring car valued at $3,000 was run into with terrific force by 
the trolley car and the five passengers in the machine were hurled to 
the street.  The motorman of the car, John HANSEN, of 1400 Bergen 
street, was thrown from his car and painfully bruised.
	The injured are:  Edgar SOUZE, 24 years old, the chauffeur, who lives 
at 329 West Forty-fourth street, Manhattan, contusions and abrasions on 
both legs and shock; Josephine SOUZE, his sister, 21 years old, of 10 
1/2 West Ninety-ninth street, scalp wounds, shock, internal injuries 
and abrasions of the lower hip; J.C. THOMAS, an undertaker, 43 years 
old, of 493 Seventh avenue, lacerated scalp wound, shock, concussion of 
the brain and contusions of the left leg;  Marie SPERBER, 21 years old, 
of 89 Oak Tree place, Bronx, scalp wounds, contusions of the back and 
abrasions of the right elbow, and William McDONALD, 32 years old, of 
307 West Forty-seventh street, contusions and scalp wounds and possible 
internal injuries.
	The Tompkins avenue car was on its way to the Prospect Park plaza and 
had left the terminal of the Williamburg Bridge with about a dozen 
passengers aboard.  At the corner where the smash-up occurred there is 
a sharp turn where autos and other vehicles  swing into Havemeyer 
street so as to reach the Williamsburg Bridge.  The auto party were on 
their way to the bridge from Coney Island, where they had spent the 
night, and when SOUZE reached Wilson street he tried to swing around 
the corner without slowing up.
	Just as the auto reached the corner the car came along at a fast clip.  
The corner is a dark on and neither the chauffeur nor the motorman 
could see each other.  The collision came with such terrific force that 
the entire front of the auto was ripped away and the dashboard of the 
trolley car entirely demolished.
	The occupants of the automobile were pinned in the wreckage and their 
screams could be heard several blocks away.  The crash was heard in the 
Clymer street station and Lieut. HOWARD immediately sent out Sergt. 
McCONNIN  and Policeman WERLE.  A hurry call for ambulances was sent to 
the Eastern District and Williamsburg Hospitals and Surgeons SNYDER and 
VOGT  responded.
	The collision awakened the entire neighborhood and the window in the 
section were soon filled with anxious faces.  The ambulance surgeons 
spent over an hour dressing the injuries of the wounded and when they 
were done they wanted to remove them to the hospital, but all refused 
to go.  They sent to a nearby garage for another machine and insisted 
upon going home.  The motorman of the car was also compelled to go home 
and his car was taken charge of by an inspector.
	There were no arrests.

DIAMONDS LEFT FOR FIVE MINUTES GONE.
Mary J. MURPHY, of 702 Vanderbilt avenue, has asked the police of the 
Bergen street station to recover three diamond rings, valued at $650, 
which she lost while visiting her mother, Mrs. James A. WALSH, of 7 
Plaza street, yesterday afternoon.  She left the rings on the buffet in 
the dining room while she stepped  across the street and on her return, 
five minutes later, they had disappeared.

THIEF GETS CASH WHILE HOUSEWIFE WAS SHOPPING.
A handbag, containing $500 in cash and jewelry valued at $335, was 
stolen from the apartments of Mrs. James LOWE, at 381 Hooper street, 
to-day by a sneak thief, who entered her apartments while she was out 
making some purchases.  When she left her home Mrs. LOWE left the 
basement door unlocked.  A few minutes later, when she returned, the 
handbag was gone.  The money which was stolen Mrs. LOWE realized 
yesterday from a real estate sale.

"COP" RUNS AMUCK IN FULL UNIFORM
After Beating Children He Attacks Men and Women Who Make Protest.
SHOOTS AT POLICEMEN
Thumped Into Submission and Quickly Suspended.
	Policeman Henry McQUADE, of the East Fifty-seventh street station, 
Manhattan, was arrested shortly after 9 o'clock this morning and at 
once  suspended from duty by orders of Police Commissioner BINGHAM.
	McQUADE after leaving the station this morning started for his home at 
1918 Third avenue.  Going up that thoroughfare as he neared 
Eighty-third street, he saw a crowd of young boys playing on the corner.
	He ran in among them, it is charged, without a word of warning and 
began to kick right and left, knocking the little fellows in all 
directions.
	On the corner nearby stood a group of men who became indignant at the 
officer's action.  He was in full uniform.  When he noticed these men 
he staggered and seeming to select Julius TARMARIUS, 19 years old, of 
520 East Eighty-third street, for his victim, grabbed him by the hair 
and after hitting him in the nose with his fist, pulled out his 
revolver and began to beat him over the head.
	A big crowd gathered around and women began to shout, "Shame!"
This further angered McQUADE, and, giving TARMARIUS a shove, he sent 
him toppling over into the gutter and turned his attention to the women 
in the crowd.
	At this moment Policemen KLINGEL and McMAHON, of the East Eighty-eighth 
street station, arrived and went after the wild policeman.
	McQUADE saw them coming and with the revolver still in his hands fired 
two shots at the officers.  The shots missed, and KLINGEL and McMAHON 
closed in on him.
	With their night sticks they did very effective work and soon felled 
their brother officer.  He was taken to the Eighty-eighth street 
station house, where Sergeant CASEY stripped him of his shield.
	CASEY then telephoned to Police Headquarters and notified Commissions 
BINGHAM.
Police Surgeon GORMAN was sent to the station house and on examining 
McQUADE reported him drunk.
	On hearing this BINGHAM immediately ordered his suspension from the 
department.

SHOT BY HUSBAND;  SHE MAY RECOVER
Mrs. Louisa SESSA, who was shot by her husband at Elmhurst last night, 
was said at St. John's Hospital, Long Island City, to-day to have a 
fair chance of recovery.  One of the three bullets fired at her by her 
husband took effect in her left side and another in her back.  The 
third bullet went wide of its mark.  The bullets that took effect have 
been extracted.
Giuseppe SESSA, the husband, is under arrest.  He and his wife lived 
until recently at 628A President street.  The woman is 21 years old, 
and the husband is older.
They quarreled and the wife left her husband and went to Elmhurst, 
where she is said to have been housekeeper for an Italian at 26 Bowen 
street.   SESSA  went to the Bowen street house last evening, and after 
accusing his wife of wrongdoing, drew a revolver and fired three times.

GREENPOINT-LEAVE GREENPOINT FOR NEW HOME IN CHICAGO

BATH BEACH DENTIST ACCUSES A LAWYER
Ernest C. WEBB, a patent lawyer, of 100 Nassau street, was locked up at 
Police Headquarters last night by Detective FLOOD, of the District 
Attorney's staff, on a charge of forgery.  The complainant is Dr. 
Bertram M. MACHET, a dentist, of 204 Bay Seventeenth street, Bath 
Beach, with whom WEBB formerly lived.  It is charged that WEBB forged 
MACHET's name to a check for $10.

FOUND HUSBAND AFTER SEVEN YEARS' SEARCH
	Seven years ago, so Mrs. Agnes WILSON, of 498 West 133rd street, 
Manhattan, says her husband, Robert WILSON, deserted her for another 
woman while they and their three children were living at 219 Fifth 
avenue, Brooklyn.  To-day she had the delinquent husband in the Gates 
avenue court on a charge of abandonment.	
	Seven weeks ago Mrs. WILSON was walking along Atlantic avenue when she 
met her husband.  He gave her $5 then and said he would call to see her 
in a few days.  She followed him and located his address at 346 West 
Nineteenth street, Manhattan.
	He did not call when he promised.  Then she had a warrant issued for 
him and Officer James HART, of the Charities Department, made the 
arrest.  Mrs. WILSON accompanied the office to the West Nineteenth 
street house and says she found another woman in the house at the time.
	This woman, she says, her husband has been living with since he 
deserted her and their three children, on of whom has died since he 
went away.  He and the woman went to London together, and later to 
Chicago and other cities in this country.
	Magistrate FURLONG held WILSON for examination on May 24.

NEGROES FIGHT, AND ONE IS GASHED BY RAZOR
A cutting affray between two colored racetrack followers occurred last 
night in one of the stables near the Brighton Beach racetrack, which 
resulted in Augustus SMITH being gashed over the heart.
	John MORRIS, of West Eighth street and Sheepshead Bay road, was 
arrested on the complaint of SMITH and charged with having done the 
cutting.  Both appeared in the Coney Island court to-day before 
Magistrate VOORHEES and both gave different versions of the fight.  
MORRIS pleaded not guilty and was held in $1,000 bail for further 
examination.
	Ambulance Surgeon BROWN, of the Reception Hospital, attended the 
wounded man and declared that all that saved his life was the fact that 
the razor glanced off by striking one of the ribs.

SON ACCUSES MOTHER OF ANNOYING WIFE
William SMITH, 24 years old, of 65 St. Felix street, appeared in the 
Myrtle Avenue Court this morning as complainant against his mother, 
Mary A. SMITH, who, he said, had annoyed his wife and she had called up 
his business place and tried to cause him to lose his position.  
Mrs.SMITH said that she had heard that her husband lived with the son 
and that she wanted to try to have him come back to her home.

Magistrate NAUMER told Mrs. SMITH that she must not go to her son's 
apartments, and that if she wanted to take action against her husband 
she would have to do it through the courts.

THREE ARE HELD ON A CHARGE OF BURGLARY
Magistrate DOOLEY to-day held John MILLER, Charles WOLCOWITZ and Joseph 
OERENDER  for the Grand Jury on charges of burglary.  It was alleged 
that on the morning of May 10 they were seen coming out of the premises 
3992 Fifth avenue by Detectives LIVINGSTON and Patrolman MORAN, of the 
Fourth avenue station.  There was a long hearing and several witnesses 
were examined for the defense.

HELD AS HIGHWAYMAN, SAYS HE'LL PROVE ALIBI
Edward GURLEY, a young negro, was held in $3,000 bail for examination 
by Magistrate DOOLEY to-day on a technical charge of vagrancy.  
Detective McKIRDY, of the local bureau, who arrested GURLEY, said the 
prisoner was concerned in a highway robbery which occurred in January 
last.  One of the men had been convicted, but GURLEY was the man who 
got the money.  GURLEY said he could prove an alibi.

HAVEN'T TOLD GIRL TO SEEK FUNDS FOR CHURCH
The officers and trustees of the Flatbush Presbyterian Church to-day 
sent out word that a young girl who has been collecting funds, 
ostensibly for the church, is acting without their authority.  She is 
about seventeen years old and claims to be a member of the Sunday 
school.
The girl happened to enter the residence of one of the Sunday school 
teachers, who questioned her at length and her suspicions were aroused. 
  She told the girl to come again in the evening, but the latter failed 
to do so.

DESERTED WIFE'S LETTER PROVES A BOOMERANG.
Joseph RUDASHAWSEN, 26 years old, of 262 Miller avenue, was in the 
Gates Avenue Court to-day, charged with abandonment by his wife, 
Augusta, who lives with her three children by a former husband, at 393 
Jerome avenue.  He was arrested last night by Officer James SHORT, of 
the Charities Department.  The wife claimed that he deserted her on 
March 20.
When called to the stand and when the case had reached the point of 
fixing a certain weekly amount to be given the wife, Joseph had a 
bright idea.  Reaching down into his inner pocket, he produced a 
letter, which he requested the magistrate to read.  Here is the letter. 
  It was addressed to RUDASHAWSEN's mother.
"Mrs. ROUDESHAWSEN [different spelling], I feel like if I should let 
you know my attentions.  My attentions are to get a divorce from your 
beloved [underscored] son.  There is a rich widower who intends to 
marry me and to take care of me and my children.  You always wanted 
your beloved [underscored] son free from the old widow and her three 
children.  Here is your chance now.  I have proves for a divorce. Your  
son has a child before he married me.  I've only found it out lately.  
I wish you louk [sic] now with your good [underscored] son to pull him 
out of the gutters paralyzed.  As I have done three years.  I hope you 
will live happily for the rest of the life.  
Yours truly, 
Augusta KELLY."
When Magistrate FURLONG had read the letter he immediately said, "Case 
dismissed.  I think this should be referred to the Supreme Court."

PRACTICAL JOKER OF "BLACK HAND."
Dr. HOROWITZ, of Stone Avenue, Receives a Letter Demanding $10 Under Penalties
HE NOTIFIES THE POLICE
Fears Attempt to Kidnap One of His Children
	Owing to the fact that Dr. Jacob HOROWITZ,  of 431 Stone avenue, 
received by mail yesterday morning a letter from Manhattan postmarked 
at an East Side sub-station, he will for some time to come keep his two 
children, Arthur, aged six years, and Matilda, aged four years, inside 
the four walls of his home.  The letter seems to be the work of an 
alleged practical joker, but Capt. REYNOLDS, of the Brownsville 
station, has his men working of the theory that is was written by a 
member of the "Black Hand" Society.
	The screed* is enclosed in a homemade envelope, formed from manila 
paper, the same as that used by every corner groceryman to wrap up 
small packages, and apparently the edges are pasted with flour watered 
into a gum. The address is not written on the envelope, but on a piece 
of white paper pasted on the outside.  The inscription is painfully but 
legibly  written, though the number of the doctor's home is not 
mentioned, the superscription reading:  "Dr. J. HOROWITZ, Stone 
avenlue, between Belmont and Sutter avenues."  The inside sheet is also 
of manila paper and the writing is of the same labored kind, as follows:
	"Dear Sir--If you do not put ten dollars near your gate we will have 
your child.  [Signed]     P.Z., Leader of the Black Hand."
	The postmark shows that the letter was posted probably in a box at 6 
A.M.  The name of the sub-station is blurred so that it is 
unrecognizable.
	Dr. HOROWITZ and his wife worried over the letter all day yesterday, 
expecting every moment that something would happen.  Dr. HOROWITZ. 
however, did not place the $10 near the gate.  The suspense became too 
great to bear towards evening, and at 7 o'clock Dr. HOROWITZ went to 
the Brownsville station and reported the occurrence.  Capt. REYNOLDS 
got on the job himself right away.  He would not express any opinion to 
the newspapermen.
	Speaking for himself and his wife Dr. HOROWITZ said last night, "We are 
afraid to allow our children out on the street.  Our little Arthur 
sometimes goes out before the door, and we have never before felt any 
uneasiness, but now we will be compelled to keep him in the house.  We 
have a nurse girl that sometimes takes both of the children out for an 
airing.  That will have to stop.  We do not know what moment something 
may happen to the children."
	It was suggested that perhaps the letter was the work of some practical 
joker, possibly a friend.
	"That may be so," said Mrs. HOROWITZ warmly, "but it is a very mistaken 
idea of a joke.  It is no joke to us, I assure you.  Still, when I come 
to think of it, I have my suspicions of a person who might be guilty of 
perpetrating such an idiotic joke, and if it is he, I hope the police 
will get him."
	"I don't know whether it is a joke or not," said the doctor, "and I am 
not going to take any chances.  Certainly the amount named is very 
small, and the tenor of the letter is indefinite.  It does not look 
like a real "Black Hand" letter to me.  I have not an enemy in the 
world.  If it is the work of a friend under the mistaken idea that he 
has perpetrated a huge joke, my hope is that he will be taken by the 
police and made to suffer for it in just the same proportion as he his 
making my wife and myself suffer."
*screed - a long, tiresome speech or writing.

YOUNG GIRL TRIES SUICIDE IN RIVER
Had Disgraced Mother and Self, She Explains, When Fished Out
RESCUER VICTIM OF SNEAK
Coat and Money Taken While He Is in Water.
	With nothing to guide them but the cries of a woman in distress, three 
men leaped into the inky darkness of the East River early this morning 
and after swimming about aimlessly finally by the aid of the rays of a 
searchlight on a passing boat, located the form of a girl floating with 
the tide.  All three men reached the girl at the same time and then 
took turns pulling her to the shore.
	Miss Francis HORR, 17 years old, who said she lived in Covert street, 
attempted to commit suicide early this morning by jumping into the 
river at the foot of East Eighty-eighth street, Manhattan.  She became 
frightened, however, and although she had no desire to live, the 
coldness of the water made her scream from fright.
	Three members of the East Side Athletic Club, Michael J. FLYNN, of 81 
Charlton street; Charles LAZARZA, of 431 East Eighty-third street, and 
Valentine SEALMAN, of Seventh avenue and Fifty-first street, Manhattan, 
happened to be passing about this time and heard the cries.  Believing 
some one was being assaulted and robbed, they separated so that they 
could catch the supposed hold-up man.  They went up Eighty-fourth, 
Eighty-fifth and Eighty-sixth streets respectively, and while running 
along the water front each located to cries as coming from the river.  
Without a moment's hesitation they jumped in and swam about.
	A passing transfer boat got the rays of its searchlight on the form of 
the now unconscious girl, who buoyed up by her skirts, was flowing down 
stream.   LAZARZA reached the girl first and in the struggle was pulled 
beneath the water.  His two friends finally reached the place, grabbed 
hold of them and then started to tow them to shore.  LAZARZA quickly 
sputtered the water out of his mouth and assisted.
	Once on the pier they bent their efforts toward reviving the girl.  Dr. 
CORSCADES, of the Presbyterian Hospital, arrived and after working over 
the girl for nearly three-quarters of an hour, restored her.  During 
this time, LAZARZA was searching for his coat, which he threw off 
before he jumped in the river.  In the pockets was a purse containing 
nearly $5 and while he was busy in the river some one came along and 
appropriated both money and the coat.  He was given dry garments by 
Lieut. KELLY, of the East Eighty-sixth street station.
	When Miss HORR was placed in the ambulance to be taken to the hospital, 
she begged those around her to allow her to die.  She declared she had 
no desire to live ant that she had disgraced both her mother and herself.

POLICE SPRINTER GETS HIS MAN AFTER CHASE.
	Detective CARETTE, champion sprinter of the Police Department, had an 
opportunity to show his ability this morning when he chased  his 'man' 
three blocks on Third avenue, Manhattan, and caught him after the other 
had a start of a block and a half.  Two other men were arrested at the 
same time.
	Detectives CARETTE and MURPHY saw three men standing on the corner of 
Third avenue and East 127th street this morning about 2:30 o'clock, who 
started to run when the officers approached.  Two were caught before 
they made a start and these were held by MURPHY while CARETTE went 
after the third man.  He was soon overtaken and proved to be Thomas 
COLLINS, 24 years old, of 2360 Third avenue, an ex-convict.  When 
searched a loaded revolver and a piece of rubber hose, in which was a 
chunk of lead, were found on him.
	The other two are also well known to the police as "strong-arm" men.

ACTRESS TRIES TO DROWN IN THE PARK
Miss Anita ROSE, once noted as a child actress in Vienna, Austria, made 
a desperate attempt last night to end her life in the Harlem Mere, in 
Central Park.  She was rescued by James ROTH, of 320? Vernon avenue, 
Brooklyn, and Policeman George STEERS, and sent a prisoner to the 
Harlem Hospital.

WOMAN BADLY CRUSHED BY HEAVILY-LADEN WAGON.
Mrs. Annie RICE, 45 years old, of Baltic and Nevins street, was knocked 
down yesterday by a horse and run over by a wagon in which were three 
tons of coal.  Her right leg was fractured in four places and her left 
arm crushed.  She was crossing St. Marks place at Fourth avenue when 
the accident happened.  She is in the Seney Hospital.

COUPLE WANTED TO WED AT MIDNIGHT
Called at Kings County Democratic Club to Have the Ceremony Performed.
MAGISTRATE NAUMER BALKS
He Considered the Time and Place Inappropriate
	Anybody want a best man for a wedding?  Call at the Kings County 
Democratic Club any night and ask for "Tom" BYRNES, "Ed" CONNELLY, 
"Larry" FISH, or any of a dozen other gentlemen, and the want will be 
immediately supplied.  FISH has another argument in his favor.  He's a 
notary public and can tie the knot in case the minister doesn't show 
up, and if you wait a while, he may land one of those new magistrate's  
jobs and be able to do the trick in all the robes of the office.
	All the candidates for best man honors lined up last night and stuck 
out their chests for Magistrate John NAUMER to see.  The peered 
admiringly into the face of an unusually pretty girl, who had come into 
the Schermerhorn street clubhouse shortly after midnight with a man who 
looked old enough to be her father, as the others frankly expressed.  
His black mustache bristled with pride as he looked into the rosy face  
of the charming black-eyed beauty who hung modestly on his arm.
"We want to get married," he said, with due emphasis for such an 
important statement.
"What do you think this is, a church?" asked "Joe," the steward, under 
his breath.
"We heard that there was always a judge here to marry people," said the 
girl, who seemed very anxious to have the ceremony begin.
"Such is fame," said FISH, as he nearly fell over in a faint.  "Coming 
to Kings County Democratic Club to get married?  Wow!   Folks will 
think we actually hand out jobs here after awhile."
	Finally, some one went after Magistrate NAUMER and the latter went over 
to talk about the matter with the couple.  He placed their names 
impressively in a notebook, which he smalled [?] shut before any one 
could learn who the strangers were.  He secured several references, and 
was busy at the telephone for ten minutes but after a while, he waved 
his hand and said he couldn't perform the ceremony.
Magistrate NAUMER said that he had no opposition to the couple, whose 
references proved satisfactory, but it was plain that he didn't want to 
[,,,] up with midnight wedding at political headquarters.
"Tom" BYRNES sighed.
"Too bad, Tom," said another member, "you'd have made a fine best man.  
But don't keep on looking at that girl;  you're married."
Mr. BYRNES indignantly left the room and sent word that he wouldn't 
reply to any such slurs.
	All the leading Democrats of the county were present at the time, and 
had the ceremony actually taken place the event would have ranked high 
in the annals of the Schermerhorn street organization.

A bouncing baby boy was born to the wife of Deputy Controller John H. 
McCOOEY last night and the executive member of the Eighteenth Assembly 
District was duly congratulated on his arrival at the Kings County 
Democratic Club.  McCOOEY was all smiles, and they all had "smile" on 
him to celebrate the event.
The board of directors of the club met last night to pass upon some 
applications for membership.  
W.J. COKEY was made a life member.  
New members elected were 
W.J. CREEGAN, 
G.H. STREATON, 
J Brower LONGWORTH, 
James A. MURPHY, 
Frederick LEMMERMAN, 
John DOBBIN, 
Joseph GIMAINE, 
J. Benjamin KOPP and Richerd TURNER.  
Ex-Senator McCABE presided at the session.

COP' ADOPTS COWBOY TRICK TO STOP RUNAWAY
Policeman John LOGAN, of the Bedford avenue station, put his early 
training as a cowboy to good advantage when he stopped a runaway that 
threatened to run down a score of children who were leaving the Eastern 
District High School, Third street and Driggs avenue, yesterday 
afternoon.
The horse was attached to a heavy furniture van owned by TOOTEN & CO., 
and had been left by its driver at Grand street and Driggs avenue.  The 
horse became frightened at a passing trolley car and bolted. LOGAN, who 
was stationed at the high school entrance, saw the runaway approaching. 
  Recalling an old trick that he had learned while on a ranch in the 
West, he jumped on the horse's back and seizing the nostrils of the 
beast, succeeded in stopping it.
A large crowd soon surrounded the officer and he was praised on all 
sides.  He was also commended by Capt. CREAMER, of the Bedford avenue 
station. LOGAN came on the force about a year ago.

19 May 1907
TWENTY HURT AND HOUSES WRECKED BY GAS EXPLOSION
New Buildings in Williams Ave. Sorry Sight After Blow-Up
Leak in Pipe Connections
MAN BLOCK AWAY WAS INJURED
Many Persons Cut by Flying Glass---Shock Felt Mile and a Half Away
	More than twenty persons were injured in an explosion in Williams 
avenue at 6:40 o'clock last night, which practically destroyed two 
houses and badly injured five others.  The glass in windows for blocks 
around was splintered, and the shock created intense excitement in the 
section.  Firemen at an engine house more that a mile and a half away 
heard the rumble, but had no idea whence it came until an alarm was 
sent in.
	The explosion was caused by gas, but just what led to it neither the 
police nor fire marshal was able to discover last night.  Fortunately 
the buildings most seriously damaged by the explosion were unoccupied.  
One glance at the ruins was sufficient evidence that had there been 
tenants in the houses at the time the loss of life would have been

[?]ARRY BERNSTEIN, 14 years, of [...] Williams street; slight abrasions 
	of scalp.
HURLED THROUGH DOOR
	[.........] BERNSTEIN, the janitor, was on the second floor of 407 
Williams avenue when the shock occurred.  He was hurled through the 
door like a flash, but escaped with nothing worse than a shaking-up.  
As he jumped down the steps, four at a time, he was followed by a 
shower of falling mortar and wood.
	HERMAN MEYERWITZ, who lives at 401 Williams avenue, which is a 
four-story frame house, was sitting on the stoop when the entire front 
of the next house was blown forward.  He was hurled to the ground.  In 
front of him was three-year-old FANNIE SHERMAN, of 399 Williams avenue, 
who had been playing with some companions on the sidewalk.  The child 
rolled to the street and was cut by the glass which descended like rain 
over her head.
	Policeman DOUGHERTY happened to be near the scene at the time.  
When he arrived in front of the row of wrecked houses, he found a mob of 
excited persons in the streets crying in fear.  Some flames could be 
seen in the cellar of one of the houses and he immediately turned in an alarm.
LIFTED OFF THEIR FEET
At the time of the explosion ABNER GREEN, of 371 Williams street, and 
Harry FIRESTONE, of the same address, were in the street directly 
opposite the stores.  They were lifted from their feet, but recovered 
speedily and dragged the MALER children from the wreckage.  They said 
the scene was "something awful," and were surprised when it was learned 
that nobody had been killed.
	Deputy Fire Marshal THOMAS BROPHY announced that a thorough examination 
of the ruins would be made to-day.  The fire officials said that they 
had no ground for supposing any bodies would be found.  They said the 
explosion might have been caused by the careless dropping of a match 
into the cellar, but said it was very strange the leaking gas had not 
stirred the MALERs into inquiry.  The probe into the affair, said 
Police Capt. THOMAS CULLEN, at the Liberty avenue station, would be 
very thorough.
	The buildings were built and are owned by LOUIS FELDTMAN, of 352 
Pennsylvania avenue.  The damage was estimated from $10,000 to $20,000.

FOUND UNCONSCIOUS IN THE STREET FROM ACUTE ALCOHOLISM
Harry BANGS, 35 years old, of 15 Prince street, was found unconscious 
on the sidewalk opposite 3 Fleet street, at 9:30 o'clock last night.
An ambulance surgeon from the Bushwick Hospital, said he was suffering 
from acute alcoholism and removed him to that institution.

FIREMEN HURT AT MORGAN PIER
In "washing down" at the Morgan Line pier yesterday after the 
disastrous fire, two firemen of Engine 30 were buried under a pile of 
lumber they  were overhauling and were seriously injured.  They are:  
John MCDONALD, 31 years old, of 149 1/2  Nelson street, Brooklyn, and 
Arthur MUNSON, 22 years old, of 253 West Houston street, Manhattan.
Both had their right arms fractured and were taken to St. Vincent's 
Hospital, where it is said their condition is not serious.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE BECAUSE SHE COULDN'T HAVE  A NEW DRESS
	According to the mother of 17-year-old Frances HORR, of 300 Covert 
street, Ridgewood, the girl's attempt at suicide by drowning in the 
East River early yesterday morning because she had been refused a new 
summer dress.  The girl is now a prisoner in the Roosevelt Hospital, 
Manhattan.
	MRS. HORR said Frances had been employed as an operator by the New York 
and New Jersey Telephone Company and was stationed at either the main 
of Bushwick central office.  A coupe of days ago the girl was given two 
weeks' vacation.  She gave her mother a check for her salary for the 
two weeks, and asked that part of the money be used to purchase a new 
dress for the summer.  Her mother refused, explaining that she already 
had all the dressed she needed, but Frances urged that all the other 
girls had new summer dresses and she wanted one, too.
	The girl seemed very much disappointed, and all day Friday she sulked 
about the house.  She went out shortly before 9 o'clock that night 
without saying where she was going.  She failed to return and her 
mother took it for granted that she had spent the night with her aunt.

STEAMSHIP LINES ARE GIVING IN TO STRIKERS
Most of the Brooklyn 'Longshoremen Returning to Work---Union to 
Continue.
The 'longshoremen's strike in Brooklyn is on the wane.  This morning 
there were signs of activity on almost all of the piers along the 
waterfront.  Taken as a whole the strike has resulted favorably for the 
strikers, and though most of the lines that have given in are minor 
factors in shipping  affairs, most of the men who have returned to work 
have gained their demands of 40 cents an hour for day work and 60 cents 
for night labor.
The only lines that have not given in to the strikers so far are the 
Lamport & Holt and Munson & Booth.  Of these Lampert & Holt is the only 
one employing a considerable number of men.

MANY SMALL ACCIDENTS IN THE EASTERN DISTRICT.
There were a number of minor accidents in the Eastern District last 
night which kept the ambulance surgeons on the go.  The first victim 
was three-year-old Isadore LEIBLER, who fell from the window of his 
home to a shed and escaped with slight contusions.  He was attended  by 
Dr. CORCORAN of the Cumberland Street Hospital.

Abe SILVER, 20 years old, of 210 Division avenue, was riding across 
Broadway at Hewes street on a bicycle when he was struck by a trolley 
car, sustaining contusions all over the body.  He was attended and left 
at home by Dr. VOGT from the Williamsburg Hospital.

While hanging out clothes from the third story of her home at 339 South 
Fourth street Mrs. Tillie KAISER, 45 years old, fell from the window 
and landed on a shed.  She escaped with lacerations and contusions and 
was left in the care of her family physician by Dr. SNYDER of the 
Eastern District Hospital.

While crossing the street in front of his home at 953 DeKalb avenue 
four-year-old Al. BOHNHAFF was struck by a car and sustained scalp 
wounds and possible internal injuries.

George DRESSER, 28 years old, was hit by a truck at South Third  and 
Hooper streets and received contusions of the body.  He was attended by 
Ambulance Surgeon VOGT of the Williamsburg Hospital.

22 May 1907
BONES MAY BE CLUE TO AN OLD MURDER
Workmen digging in an excavation at 231 South Second street, to-day, 
found two human skulls and about a dozen bones, evidently those of arms 
and legs.  The bones were found by Marden FRANK, of 250 Ten Eyck 
street, while digging in the yard of what was once a two-story frame 
house.
The bones were removed to the Bedford avenue station, and the police 
expressed the opinion that they were those of two persons who had been 
murdered years ago, and whose remains had been buried in the yard.  The 
teeth of one of the skulls were well preserved.  It appeared to be that 
of a woman.

VOLUNTEERS NEAR WHEN RESCUE IS NEEDED.
It was fortunate for the four occupants of a catboat which capsized off 
Sea Gate last evening, just before sundown, that the new motor boat 
Dolphin was being put through a practice spin by three members of the 
Volunteer Life Savers.  Sadie and Fannie STROHBERG, with John and 
Philip SEYMOUR, ventured out in the catboat from Bath Beach, when the 
craft, caught my a sudden gust, turned turtle and the four were tumbled 
into the briny.
Capt. LAFLIN and COX and MELTHIE, on the Dolphin, noted the accident 
and sped to the rescue.  Three of the party in the water were drawn 
quickly over the Dolphin's side.  Fannie STROHBERG was the last to be 
rescued.

THREE MEN BURIED UNDER FALLING WALL
A three-story brick building at 82 Park Row, Manhattan, which was 
formerly occupied by a moving picture show, and which was being torn 
down to make room for the bridge approach, collapsed shortly after 1 
o'clock to-day, burying three workmen beneath one of the falling walls. 
   Calls were sent to Gouverneur and Hudson street hospitals and Drs. 
BRYANT and BRAND responded.  Six fire engines were alson called out, as 
were the reserves from the Oak street and Bridge stations.
Shortly after the arrival of the ambulances the firemen succeeded in 
extricating the three men.  They were Rudolph KOOL and John CABOLINO, 
of 4 Albany street, Manhattan, and Joseph SMITH, of 6 Albany street.  
It was found that they were injured about the head and body, though not 
severely.  Samuel KOPPOF, the contractor, who had charge of the work, 
was arrested on a charge of negligence.

AGED WOMAN ARRESTED, FORGETS HER ADDRESS
A well-dressed woman, who gave her name as KATE HEANEY, and age as 70 
years, but who could not tell where she lived, was found by Detective 
KERRIGAN, of the Bedford avenue station, this morning, wandering about 
the Williamsburg Bridge plaza.  She seemed to be bewildered.
In the Lee avenue court she talked in a rambling fashion to Magistrate 
HIGGINBOTHAM.  She said that she had a married daughter by the name of 
Rose KENNEY, and was a friend of Father HEALEY, whom she said lived 
somewhere on Fifteenth street.  Further information could not be 
obtained from her.
She was sent to the Ozanam Home where she will be held until next 
Friday or until Probationery Officer Mrs. PEACOCK can locate some of 
her friends or relatives.

DREW REVOLVER IN DEFENSE OF BRIDE
James SCOWCROFT Explains Reason for Threatening to Shoot John DE KENIPPI
COURT WILL INVESTIGATE
	Weeping Wife Has to Be Removed From Special Sessions
The usual dignity and orderliness that prevails in the Court of Special 
Session was disturbed this morning when a lately married woman burst 
forth in tears and sobs at the prospect of seeing her husband being 
torn from her arms and cast into some dark prison.  The thought of two 
short months of wedded bliss and a delightful honeymoon cut short by 
the bridegroom being sentenced to linger in the penitentiary caused 
demure little Mrs. SCOWCROFT to break down and weep loudly and long.
	Her husband, James SCOWCROFT, pleaded guilty to carrying a loaded 
revolver.  A second charge had been preferred against him by John DE 
KENIPPI, of 158 South Fourth street, who claimed that on the night of 
May 14, the defendant tried to shoot him while he was standing at the 
corner of Kent avenue and South Fourth street.
	SCOWCROFT told a very convincing story that led the court to remand him 
until May 24 so that his case could be looked into.  According to the 
defendant he and his wife were married two months ago after a brief 
courtship.
	The occupied a furnished room on  South Fourth street.  The night of 
the trouble they had decided to leave for more spacious apartments and 
were strolling along with all their worldly possessions when they met 
another young married couple they knew.  SCOWCROFT and his friend 
walked ahead, allowing the two women to bring up the rear.  As they 
passed the corner of Kent avenue and South Fourth street, SCOWCROFT and 
his friend looked back and noticed two strangers annoying their wives.
	It was then, so the defendant declared, that he walked back to the 
presumptious [sic] strangers and demanded what they were doing.  Not 
receiving a satisfactory answer, he made a move for his revolver, 
exclaiming "I'll fix you."  Then the two men made a hasty retreat.  
They ran down the street until they met Officer O'CONNORS, who hastened 
up and made the arrest.
	Mrs. SCOWCROFT wept all the time her husband was under examination in 
spite of a group of girl friends who tried to console her.  Finally she 
had to be removed from the court room.

BOY WAVED SIGNAL THAT CAUSED CRASH.
Ten-Year-Old Says in Court He Has Frequently Acted for Flagmen in Bath 
Beach---Fifty Passengers Hurt, Three Mortally, in Smash-up----Both 
Motormen Intercept Signal of Clear Track to Apply to Their 
Car---Trolley Reduced to Kindling After Being Hurled Against Telegraph 
Pole---Motormen and Flagman Held by Magistrate VOORHEES.
	Gross carelessness on the part of Edward LOWENTHAL, the B.R.T. flagman 
at Bay Nineteenth street and Eighty-sixth street, in having permitted a 
10-year-old boy to signal trains, is given by police as the cause for 
the crash between a Thirty-ninth Street Ferry trolley car and an Ulmer 
Park motor train at that crossing last night.  At least fifty persons 
were badly injured, three of them so seriously that it was said this 
afternoon there was hardly a hope for their recovery.  Edward YOUNG, of 
8678 Eighteenth avenue, is the boy who gave the signal interpreted by 
the respective motormen as giving them the right-of-way.  His story was 
told this morning in the Coney Island court.
	The boy said that for months he has been in the habit of acting as 
flagman for LOWENTHAL and other B.R.T. employes during the daytime when 
he was not at school.  Last evening he met Lester VAN HOULTEN, a boy of 
his own age, at the Eighty-sixth street crossing.  LOWENTHAL, he said, 
was in the shanty at the side of the track, instead of outside, as he 
should have  been.  The signal lanterns were on the ground in front of 
the shanty.
	The YOUNG boy saw the Thirty-ninth street car waiting for the signal to 
proceed.  He waved the green lantern, but did not see the motor train 
until it was within a few feet of the trolley car.  Then he dropped the 
lantern and shouted for LOWENTHAL.  But it was too late then to prevent 
the crash.
	Magistrate VOORHEES had the boy's story incorporated in an affidavit to 
corroborate the police complaint, that LOWENTHAL had violated Section 
675 of the Penal Code, in neglecting his post and permitting the boy to 
signal the car.
	The story told by the YOUNG boy is a variance with the explanation made 
last night by LOWENTHAL.  When he was arrested he said that he had 
signaled the motor train to proceed and that the accident resulted from 
Clinton BALDWIN, of 279 Fifty-eighth street, motorman of the trolley 
car, mistaking the signal as being meant for him.  LOWENTHAL, BALDWIN 
and Joseph SPIES, of 174 Hull street, motorman of the motor train, were 
held to-day by Magistrate VOORHEES for examination May 31.
	LOWENTHAL made no statement in court to-day,merely pleading "not 
guilty" through counsel.
	The accident, it is not certain, was caused by a misunderstanding of 
signals.  The motorman on the heavy "L" train, believing the track was 
clear, sent his train ahead, and at the crossing smashed into the 
lighter trolley car, loaded to its capacity with passengers.  The 
latter was crushed against a telegraph pole and an iron trolley pole.  
Men, women and children were pinned in the wreckage.  All were more or 
less injured.  As they were taken out from beneath the mass of iron and 
woodwork they received immediate attention from physicians of the 
neighborhood and the ambulance surgeons, and were either sent to their 
homes or removed to hospitals.

	Many others are supposed to have been hurt, but several of these were 
taken away by agents of the B.R.T.
	The accident occurred shortly after 9 o'clock last night.  Motor train 
No. 1057, consisting of two cars, reached the crossing at Bay 
Nineteenth and Eighty-sixth streets, bound for Manhattan, just as car 
No. 2765 of the Thirty-ninth Street Ferry line, which goes through 
Eighty-sixth street, by way of Ulmer Park to Coney Island, came along.
	The two trains arrived at the crossing at the same time and both slowed 
down, awaiting the signal of Joseph LOWENTHAL, the flagman.  The 
motormen on the trains were unable to see each other on account of the 
trees and houses that shut off the view.
	When the green signal was waved, both motormen took the signal as 
applying to his car and started ahead.  The light trolley car shot 
forward and the heavy "L" train rumbled as it started.  Just as the 
trolley car was half way over the track the "L" train hit it with a 
crash that was heard for blocks.
	The trolley car was lifted up and carried along by the "L" train until 
it struck a telegraph pole alongside  the track.  Once more there was a 
crash of glass and wood, and then the screaming of the passengers.
	The passengers in the trolley car had but a minute's notice of their 
peril and while being carried along before smashing up against the 
telegraph pole, they made frantic attempts to escape.  Their screams of 
terror rent the air and persons near the scene marveled that ll were 
not instantly killed.  The lighter car was lifted from the rails and 
literally thrown with its weight of humanity ahead of the train.
	The quickly gathering crowd did not expect to find any one alive, as 
there did not appear to be a foot of the woodwork intact.  There were 
no screams after the second crash.  The rescuers worked in deadly 
silence and it was only when the first passenger was pulled from 
beneath the mass of twisted iron oand splintered wood that the shouting 
was resumed.  All were hatless, some without coats, dressed torn in 
shreds and each bleeding from cuts.
	In a few minutes thousands of people came to the scene.  Police 
reserves from Parkville, Fort Hamilton, Bath Beach and Coney Island 
stations were hurried up.  Ambulances from Seney, Kings County, 
Norwegian and Reception Hospitals appeared.  The ambulance surgeons, 
assisted by physicians residing in the neighborhood, attended the 
injured and as soon as they were fixed up temporarily they were hurried 
to their homes or hospitals.  The majority of the injured were taken to 
the Norwegian Hospital.  All those in the hospitals this morning were 
reported to be resting easily, with the exception of the three or four 
who are still in a dangerous condition.
	Inspector HARKNESS, who was in charge of the reserved, arrested both 
motormen, both conductors and the flagman.  The conductors were 
discharged in court.

CAR AND FENCE PINCH CARRIAGE; NO ONE HURT.
The carriage of Mrs. P.Q. WILSON, of 51 South Oxford street, driven by 
Patrick GALLAGHER, was struck by Flatbush avenue car No. 2005, at State 
street and Flatbush avenue last night.
Mrs. WILSON had her 8-year-old niece with her in the carriage.  The car 
pushed the carriage along until ti became wedged between it and the 
planking which fences off the subway excavation.  No one was hurt.
After much backing and forwarding the carriage was extricated, after 
sustaining $75 damage.

TORTURE WITH RED-HOT IRON THREAT USED BY BURGLARS.
At Point of Heated Poker Two Men Force Miss CLARK to Give Up Money, 
Watch and Silverware---Broke Into Eagle Street house at Night and Bound 
and Gagged Woman---One Man, Arrested After Alarm Had Been Given, 
Identified by Victim, and Is Held in $1,000 Bond.
	A desperate pair of burglars was that which entered the home of Miss 
Cecelia CLARK, 45 years old, of 82 Eagle street, last night.  The house 
in which Miss CLARK lives is a three-story frame apartment building, 
and is part of an inheritance from her mother, who died some years ago, 
leaving her enough property to assure her a modest income.
	On the first floor Miss CLARK, who is somewhat deaf, lives alone, while 
the second and third floors are occupied by Mrs. Annie STEWART and Mrs. 
Mary CRACKE, respectively.  Next door, at 84 Eagle street, there is a 
large garden, and it was through this that the burglars gained access 
to the windows of Miss CLARK's apartments.
BOUND AND GAGGED WOMAN
	It was very dark when they entered the house, and as they climbed  
through the window they overturned an oil stove and several chairs, 
making such a commotion that Miss CLARK's attention, deaf as she is, 
was attracted.  She left her bedroom to see what was the matter.  She 
found the burglars getting ready to ransack her rooms, but before she 
could make an outcry one of them had seized her around the body, while 
the other picked up a gingham apron and tied it around her mouth, 
gagging her completely.  Then they took a sheet from the bed, and 
tearing it into shreds bound her to a chair.
	Next, the men lighted the oil stove and heated a poker.  When it grew 
red hot they shook it in her face and threatened torture if she did not 
reveal the place where she kept her money.  Miss CLARK, much against 
her will, told them, and they secured $125 in cash which she carried 
about her neck, a gold watch and some spoons.
	When the burglars had slammed the window behind them and left the house 
Miss CLARK managed to get loose from her bonds, and, going to the 
window, shouted, "Murder! Police!"
	Her cries were heard by the tenants, Mrs. STEWART and Mrs. CRACKE, and 
they aided her in summoning the police.
ONE MAN ARRESTED.
	Policeman GILROY, of the Greenpoint avenue station, was standing at the 
corner of Manhattan avenue and Freeman street, when he saw a man 
skulking along the thoroghfare, stepping in the shadows of the 
doorways.  At the instance of the women, whose shouts he heard, and 
because of the suspicious way in which the man was acting, GILROY 
arrested him.
	He denied any knowledge of the affair and said that he was coming from 
his fiancee's home.  In the Manhattan avenue court to-day the three 
women, Miss CLARK, Mrs. STEWART and Mrs. CRACKE, identified him as one 
of the men who had broken into the house.  He said that his name was 
Theodore EMPWORTH, and that he was employed at Ellis Island as a 
dishwasher.
	His story about having seen his sweetheart fell flat, however, for when 
inquiry was made of the girl whom he mentioned, she said that it had 
been a long time since she had seen anything of him.
	EMPWORTH was held under a bond of $1,000, charged with burglary.  
Detectives LAWLER and STACK are looking for the other man.

24 May 1907
TWO DETECTIVES ARRESTED ON CAR
Conductor Alleges MEALLI and SIMONETTI Were Annoying Passengers.
Detectives Paul SIMONETTI and Michael MEALLI, attached to the local 
Detective Bureau; James MEANY, of 247 State street, and Samuel 
PELLIGREW, of 514 Henry street, were arrested at 4 o'clock this morning 
on a Smith street car at the Park Circle, on charges of disorderly 
conduct.  James J.FINCH, the conductor, claimed that the four had been 
annoying passengers on the car on the way from Coney Island, and had 
refused to stop when told to.  Patrolman McDONALD, of the Parkville 
station, made the arrests.
	When taken to the Flatbush court this morning  the two detectives told 
Magistrate STEERS that the conductor had made a mistake.  They said 
that some men on the car had been skylarking among themselves, but had 
not annoyed the other passengers.
	FINCH insisted that he had not made a mistake, and the four prisoners 
were paroled for examination next Tuesday.
MEALLI and SIMONETTI  are members of the Italian detective squad, and 
have made many important captures of 'Black Hand' men.

GAVE EARRINGS AWAY; NOW WANTS THEM BACK.
Admitting that she had unscrewed her diamond earrings from her ears and 
turned them over to Frank P. BRISSON last Monday afternoon on the 
sidewalk in front of the Temple Bar Building, at Court and Joralemon 
streets, Mrs. Martin TOWNSEND, wife of a well-to-do traveling man 
residing at 221 Carroll street, communicated with the police at the 
Adams street station yesterday afternoon, and requested  that 
plainclothes men be specially detailed to recover the earring for her.  
Mrs. TOWNSEND said she valued them at $300.  She expressed the belief 
that the person accused of taking them must have exercised a powerful 
hypnotic influence over her at the time.
	BRISSON, who was described by Mrs. TOWNSEND as being about 42 years

THREE GIRLS SKIP TO GO ON STAGE
Detectives Sent to Coney Island to Look For Them in Concert Halls
	Three stage struck girls, Florence FRITZEN, 16 years old, of 122 Third 
place; Elizabeth TANDY, 17, of 232 Court street, and Ida GULLY, 16, of 
32 Second street, left home mysteriously Thursday afternoon and their 
relatives haven't heard from them since.
	The girls, it is said, were in the habit of frequenting the theatres 
three or four times a week and were always talking to their companions 
of the theatre.
	The TANDY girl was employed in a five and ten cent store on Fulton 
street.
	At 8 o'clock Thursday morning she left home to go to her work, but 
about 9 o'clock she called up the FRITZEN home by telephone and spoke 
to Florence.  After the talk, Florence put on her best clothes and left 
the house telling her folks that she would be back early in the 
evening, as she was going for a ride.
	The GULLY girl was a night telephone operator in the Brooklyn exchange. 
  On Thursday night she told the manager that she was going to leave as 
her mother was sick and she had to stay home and take care of her.
	The father of the FRITZEN girl is a well to do plumber.  The GULLY 
girl's father is Captain John GULLY, a tug boat captain.
	Headquarters detectives have been sent to Coney Island to find out if

An ambulance was summoned from the Long Island College Hospital 
yesterday afternoon by the captain of the steamship Korea, which 
arrived here on Friday from Sibu, Russa, to attend a child which had 
been seized with convulsions on board the vessel.  The child was Paul 
GOVERSIRLO, fourteen months-old, son of Vasilier GOVERSIRLO, a 
passenger.  The child's mother died during the voyage and was buried at 
sea.  The infant became ill soon after and was attended by the ship's 
physician, but when seized with convulsions at Pier 4, the ambulance 
was summoned.  The child was dead on the arrival of the surgeon.  The 
father says he has no means to bury the infant and the Charities 
Department was notified.

BULLET FROM PASSING CAB MAY KILL MAN
Martin GALLAGHER Drops to Sidewalk Seriously Wounded as Vehicle Speeds By.
COUPLE INSIDE WERE QUARRELING VIOLENTLY
Victim Taken to Hospital; Police Unable to Solve Mystery.
	As the result of a mysterious shooting almost in front of the Columbia 
Theatre last night, Martin GALLAGHER, a laborer, is in a serious 
condition at the Brooklyn Hospital.  He does not know who shot him nor 
can the police find out.
	It was about 9:30 o'clock, when the street in the neighborhood of the 
theatre was brilliantly lighted, that GALLAGHER, alone, walked slowly 
up Tillary street from Adams street.  He had reached Washington street 
and was  walking almost in the glare of the theatre lights when a cab  
came dashing down the street.
	According to some accounts, there were a man and woman in the cab and 
in the fleeting view permissive it appeared they were in a hot 
argument.  Suddenly there was a flash in the depths of the hack.  The 
roar of traffic deadened the report.  On the sidewalk Martin GALLAGHER fell.
	At the moment there were just three men and a number of children in the 
immediate vicinity.  GALLAGHER, who is 33 years old, staggered to his feet.
	"I'm shot," he shouted.
The three men looked over at him, but did not move.  The children 
continued playing.
	"I'm shot," repeated  GALLAGHER.  "In God's truth, I'm shot!"
Then he staggered against a building.  Some women walking past gave him 
a  wide berth, thinking he was drunk.  Even men walked past him as he 
leaned against the wall moaning.
	"O, he's got them," they said.
The report of the shot evidently had not been heard.  There was not a 
sign, beyond the wounded man, that probably manslaughter had been committed.
	Finding that nobody would come to his relief, GALLAGHER began to 
stagger along the street.  He continued shouting:
	"Help me.  I'm done for!"  He tore open his shirt to show his wound.
	At this point along came W.T. DUNNE, of 43 Henry street, and some 
ladies.  Mr. DUNNE stopped immediately and went to GALLAGHER's aid.  He 
saw the man was badly wounded, and he half walked, half carried him 
around to the Adams street station, two blocks away.  GALLAGHER got 
there about twenty minutes after the mysterious bullet had been fired.  
It had penetrated his right breast and lodged in his lung.
	As the surgeons took him to the hospital his cries could be heard for 
half a block.
	GALLAGHER lives at 17 Myrtle avenue and is single.  At the hospital 
early this morning it was said that there was only a chance for his recovery.

GIRL USED A RAZOR ON HER ENEMY
Fierce Struggle Between Two Young Women, in Which Both Are Badly Slashed.
ONE ACCUSES OTHER OF WRECKING HER LIFE.
Row Occurs on Crowded Street in Eastern District
	Hundreds of persons witnessed a fierce encounter between two girls, one 
15 years old, the other two years her senior, in front of a big factory 
building at Metropolitan avenue and Reobling street, late yesterday 
afternoon.  One of the girls used a razor freely, and before a 
policeman arrived on the scene both were badly slashed.
	The one to receive the most painful injuries was Jennie SINATA, aged 
15, of Remsen place, Maspeth.  She was the aggressor in the fight.  Her 
victim was Fannie VERONICA, aged 17, of 229 North Sixth street.  In a 
statement made to Police Capt. CREAMER, of the Bedford avenue station, 
later, Jennie accused the VERONICA girl of having introduced  her to 
some men of questionable reputation, who, she claims, led her on a 
downward career.
	Both girls were employed as buttonhole makers in a Driggs avenue tailor 
shop, and were considered the best of friends.  Recently the two girls 
attended a reception together and Fannie, it is claimed, introduced her 
youthful friend to some young men who met her frequently after that.  
When she saw her wrong the SINATA girl chidded [sic] her companion, but 
the latter only laughed at her.
	Of late the SINATA family have been receiving anonymous letters 
informing them of their daughter's actions.  The girl's father punished 
her, and this fact, coupled with the sneers of her former friend, 
Fannie, so annoyed her that she threatened to go to the end of the 
world for revenge.  To keep the girl out of trouble the family moved to 
Maspeth and it was thought that the matter was all over.
	It was almost 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon just as several factories 
in the neighborhood were dismissing their employes that the girls met 
at the corner of Metropolitan avenue and Roebling street in front of a 
six-story factory building.
	The two had no more than exchanged greeting when Fannie askded her 
former chum if she had seen any of "the boys."  For an answer Jennie 
whipped out a razor from her coat pocket and began to slash right and 
left at her victim.  Fannie raised her hand to ward off the blows and 
in so doing was badly cut about the arms, hands and wrist.
	In a moment the two girls were struggling and the older one succeeded 
in getting the razor from the SINATA girl.  Then she began to wield the 
weapon and had cut her antagonist about the face and hands when the 
cries of other girls coming out of the factory attracted Policeman 
BEHAN of the Bedford avenue station, who forced his way through the 
crowd and separated the girls.  Both were taken to the Bedford avenue 
station, where they had their injuries  dressed by Ambulance Surgeon 
SNYDER of the Eastern District Hospital.
	After their wounds had been dressed the girls mad counter charges of 
felonious assault, and it was then that the younger girl, between sobs, 
told Capt. CREAMER of her downfall.  She said she had been ashamed to 
meet her mother and father since she had been associating with the men, 
and had made up her mind to get revenge on the VERONICA girl.  The 
latter was taken to the Flushing avenue station, where there is a matron, 
while the other girl was sent to the shelter of the Children's Society.

SERIOUSLY BURNED PLAYING WITH FIRE.
Some children started  fire in the rear yard of 696 Henry street 
yesterday afternoon.  Hugh DOYLE, 5 years old, of 688 Henry street, got 
so close to the blaze his clothing took fire, and despite the efforts 
of some person who went to his assistance, he was severely burned about 
the body and arms.  He was removed to the Long Island College Hospital 
in a critical condition.

TROLLEY CUTS OFF 3-YEAR-OLD'S ARM
The arm of three-year-old Joseph ALLE, of Sixty-second street and 
Thirteenth avenue, was amputated below the elbow last evening by one of 
the "Buffalo" cars which run from Third avenue and Sixty-fifth street.  
The child was playing near the tracks and in trying to dodge the 
trolley, fell directly under the wheels.  The boy was removed to the 
Norwegian Hospital.

GIRL OVERCOME BY GAS FROM TUBE TO A KITCHEN STOVE
ANNIE KAUFMAN, 23 years old, of Surf avenue and West Twelfth street, 
employed as a servant at that address, was overcome by gas while 
working in the kitchen late last night.  The tube of the gas stove had 
become disconnected in some way.   Ambulance Surgeon LAWSON, of the 
Reception Hospital, was called in and succeeded in reviving the girl, 
after working over her for half an hour.

LIGHTNING PLAYS PRANKS AT CONEY ISLAND
A lighting[sic] bolt, during the storm early this morning, struck the 
tall flagstaff surmounting the "North Pole" building in Surf avenue, 
near West Fifth street, Coney Island, and splintered it.  The heavy 
gilded ball was dashed from the top of the staff to the street, more 
than 100 feet below.  It struck the pavement with a lout crash and was 
shattered into a thousand pieces.
Three horses, two of which were attached to a large truck, and another 
harnessed to a wagon owned by A. BONOMO, were knocked to their knees by 
the shock and thoroughly frightened.  Otherwise they were not seriously 
injured.

YOUTH ACCUSED OF ROBBING FATHER'S TENANT
Frank ALLMAN, 20 years old, of 71 Leonard street, early this morning 
entered the home of Adolph WEINSTEIN, of 69 Leonard street, and stole 
$21 in cash from WEINSTEIN's bureau, according to the latter's 
statement.  ALLMAN's father is WEINSTEIN's landlord, and the latter 
sold his store one day last week, saying in the presence of young 
ALLMAN that he received $300 for it.  Last night, when every one was 
asleep, the boy climbed out of a rear window in his own home and 
entered WEINSTEIN's house.  WEINSTEIN awoke and recognized ALLMAN, he 
says, but he intruder got away.  WEINSTEIN dressed and chased ALLMAN 
down Graham avenue to Broadway, where, with the assistance of a 
policeman from the Stagg street station, the fugitive was caught.
In the Manhattan avenue court Magistrate O'REILLY held ALLMAN for 
examination.

SENTIMENTAL SONGS CAUSE WHITE'S ARREST
Elijah D. WHITE, 32 years old, of 417 Fifty-eighth street, manager of a 
moving picture show at Court and Carroll streets, was held in $1,000 
bail for examination on June 2 by Magistrate TIGHE in the Butler street 
court to-day.  The complainant was Haefdam BRYNILDSEN, a Swedish 
musician, of 399A Union street, who told the magistrate that he visited 
WHITE's place Sunday night and was shocked at the performance.  The 
songs were especially bad, he said.
	"What was the trouble with them? Were they immoral?" asked Magistrate 
TIGHE.
	"No," said the musician, " but they were all sentimental.  I stood it 
as long as I could, but when they started 'She Came Home Without Her 
Wedding Ring, That Slender Band of Gold' and 'Mother, Lay My Wedding 
Dress Away.' I couldn't endure it.
	"It would have been all right if they played operatic music."
BRYNILDSEN got a warrant for the arrest of WHITE Monday, charging him 
with running a Sunday concert.  WHITE told the magistrate that his 
place was respectable, but he was held.

"COP" STOPS RUNAWAY AFTER TWO MILE CHASE
Mounted Policeman TOOHEY had an exciting two-mile chase after a

the property of a real estate broker, and left SALT's Livery Stable at 
549 Pacific street, ridden by Barney THOMPSON, a stableman, to be 
shipped to the Long Island home of its owner.  As THOMPSON was riding 
the bay through State street, the horses of Engine No. 60, responding 
to an alarm, dashed out of their quarters at State and Smith streets.  
The bay threw its rider and started galloping up the street, as if 
racing the fire horses.  At Flatbush avenue TOOHEY took up the chase.  
As the policeman was after the runaway along Dean street on the 
sidewalk his mount slipped and unseated him.  But the trained horse 
stood still wile he remounted and resumed the pursuit.

who died April 4; well known painter, decorator and amateur actress, 
will be married on June 15 to James A. STARRETT, a broker with offices

and the couple separated within a year.  Mrs. EVANS obtained  a 
separation but refused to begin action for a divorce.  Ten years ago

large, to Flatbush court to-day and charged them with neglecting to 
send their offspring to school.  The three prisoners, two of them 
accompanies by their ample better halves, gave their names as Michael 
BOOER, 55 years old, of New York avenue and Lefferts street; Antonio 
CALOOEL, 50 of the same address, and John DAPRINO, 50 of 398 Rutland 
road.
	Through an interpreter BOOER volubly explained that his wife was at 
home sick, and that little Michael could not go to school because, if 
he did, the mother would have no person to watch by her.
	DAPRINO scratched his head, looked at the inspiring breadth of his 
spouse standing nearby and admitted that education had proved his 
undoing.
	"I gotta da ten children," he confessed.  "All age, all size, da boy 
and da girl.  Too much troub for me.  I can no watch them; I go craze."
	CALOOEL has four children.  Two of them he diligently sends to school. 
The others he said to be a trifle unruly.  Magistrate STEERS fined each 
of the fathers $5.  BOOER paid his in a hurry.  The wives of the other 
two loudly protested that they did not have the money, but when the 
magistrate threatened to jail their husbands they soon found the coin.
	"This is now $9 already that education has cost me," said DAPRINO, as 
he walked sadly out of the court.

Four women attacked Wolf and Jacob PACHTER, city marshal's assistants, 
yesterday while they were dispossessing Benjamin GOLDBERG from his 
apartments at 695 Ashford street, in the East New York district.  While 
the marshals were carrying furniture downstairs, one of the women 
grabbed Wolf by the throat and cried out that he had insulted her.
	The the sympathetic neighbors rallied and proceeded to beat the two 
marshals with sticks and stones and fists.  About 500 men and women 
gathered, and each tried to land a blow.  Wolf and Jacob took to their 
heels, the crowd pursuing.
	They ran along Ashford street to New Lots road, and were pursued for 
nearly a mile toward the open country.

STOPS FIRE HORSES; MAY BE FIREMAN
  All firemen who saw Charles GILBRIDE, of 382 First avenue, stop a 
runaway team of fire horses attached to a tender are anxious to-day to 
have the young man a member of the Fire Department, and as GILBRIDE is 
on the eligible list it is believed that he will be one of the first 
men to be appointed by Fire Commissioner LANTRY.
	The team was attached to a tender on Engine Company No. 16 and ran away 
after having been frightened by sparks from a passing engine blowing in 
their faces.  The driver was thrown to the street.  The horses started 
to run in front of 203 East Twenty-second street.
	GILBRIDE ran after the tender and managed to clamber on the rear.  Then 
he made his way as rapidly as possible to the front seat to find that 
the lines were dragging in the street.  He climbed down on the swaying 
pole and, taking a tight grip on the harness of one of the horses, 
leaned down and after several efforts managed to get the reins.
	GILBRIDE reached the seat of the tender just as the horses started out 
on the pier at the foot of East Twenty-second street.  The plucky man 
put the brake on hard and then tugged at the lines.  He learned long 
ago how to manage horses and the plunging animals seemed to realize 
that they had a master behind them.  They stopped their onward plunge 
and GILBRIDE pulled them back on their haunches within a few feet of 
the end of the pier.  A few more steps and the animals and tender would 
have gone into the East River.

WOMEN ATTACK "COP" WHILE MAKING ARREST.
Charged with assault and disorderly conduct, Bernard ECKSTEIN, 21 years

words of abuse from ECKSTEIN.  When he attempted to put the man under

occurred.  During the scrap the dishes and furniture in the

GIRL VANISHES AFTER ATTACK
Crime Similar to STAFFELDT  Case Is Attempted in South Brooklyn
GIRL'S CRIES SCARE THUGS
Once Before Fanny VOLKENBERG Was Waylaid, but Rescued.
	An attack, similar to the ones made on the STAFFELDT and TRUCK girls, 
in Queens Borough, was attempted yesterday afternoon on Fanny 
VOLKENBERG, 16 years old, of 204 Twenty-sixth street, by two young men 
at Third avenue and Twenty-fourth street.  Her screams frightened them 
off.
	The girl was so frightened that as soon as she found that her 
assailants were gone, she ran down Twenty-fourth street and has not 
been seen since.
	To-day six detectives from Police Headquarters, and three plainclothes 
men of the Fifth avenue station, are searching the city for her.
	According to the girl's mother, Fanny has not bee well for two years as 
the result of having been attacked late one night by two men at Second 
avenue and Twenty-first street.  Her assailants then tried to drag her 
into a saloon, but a passerby  notified a policeman before she was 
harmed.
Since that time the girl has been abnormally nervous.
	She was afraid to venture out alone at night and always was timid of 
strangers.  Lately her mother induced her to carry her father's  
luncheon to him at his place of business, at Third avenue and 
Twenty-sixth street.
	Yesterday afternoon, as she was passing Third avenue and Twenty-fourth 
street, two young men jumped out of a hallway, knocking her down, and 
were trying to drag her into the hallway when some men who were working 
a little distance away heard her cries and went to her assistance.  
Neighbors ran to her home and informed her mother of what had happened. 
  Just as Mrs. VOLKENBERG turned the corner the frightened girl ran down 
Twenty-fourth street and disappeared.
	Some persons say that she ran towards  the dock at the foot of the 
street, but others claim she turned down Second avenue and disappeared  
in the hallway of a tenement house.  There is an Italian colony there 
and the girl's parents believe that she ran into one of the houses for 
protection, believing that she was being pursued, and that she is being 
detained there against her will.
	It is the opinion of the police that this may be true, but they are 
rather inclined to the belief  that the girl became deranged as a 
result of the attack and ran to the dock and jumped into the water.
	Acting Capt. McCAULEY assigned six of his best sleuths on the case last 
night and instructed them to search the Italian colony.  They reported 
this morning that the girl was not found there.  McCAULEY said this 
morning that the attack in broad day light on a busy thoroughfare was 
the boldest he ever heard of.
	The police believe that two members of a gang of Italian youths who 
hang about Twenty-fourth street and Third avenue, and never work, 
spending their time shooting craps, are responsible for the attack.  
McCAULEY has their names and a good description and expects to arrest 
them before night.
	The VOLKENBERG girl is described as 4 feet 5 inches in height, weighs 
135 pounds, has a fair complexion, light hair and blue eyes, and is 
very pretty.  She was dressed in a black skirt, black and white striped 
waist, grey hat with white flowers, black cape and black shoes and 
stockings.

TOT PLAYS WITH MATCHES, AND IS SERIOUSLY BURNED.
While playing with matches in front of his home this morning, James 
CAIDELLO, 3 years old, set fire to his skirts and was seriously burned 
about the body before neighbors could extinguish the flames.  Ambulance 
Surgeon McLEAN attended the child and removed him to the Brooklyn Hospital.

QUITS HOSPITAL SERVICE FOR PRIVATE PRACTICE
Dr. Samuel TIETZE, who has been attached to the Eastern District 
Hospital first as ambulance surgeon and then as house surgeon since 
last June, will sever his connection with the institution to-morrow and 
begin practice for himself.  He will hang out a shingle on his home, 
which is at First avenue and Ninety-first street, Manhattan.
	Dr. TIETZE is a graduate of the public schools of Manhattan.  When a 
boy at high school he won a free scholarship to the Cornell Medical 
University and graduated with honors.  After he left medical school he 
entered a competitive examination for admission to the Eastern District 
Hospital and came out first on the list.

BOY VANISHES AFTER SCOLDING BY FATHER.
Thirteen-year-old Joseph SMITH, of 116 Tenth street, has been missing 
from his home for nearly three weeks.  His parents are distracted.
	Although the police have been working on the case for three weeks they 
have as yet found no trace of the lad.  The last seen of him was two 
days after he left home, May 11, when a boy friend saw him walking 
along the Ninth street bridge over Gowanus Canal.
	On the afternoon of May 9 Joseph came home from Public School No. 124 
at about 5 o'clock.  His father scolded him for having been kept in on 
account of his lessons.  The Mr.SMITH left the boy to go upstairs to 
his wife, who was ill in bed.  Joseph too the opportunity to run away.
	Joseph, his mother says, was a good boy.  He was ambitious to work, and 
did not like to go to school.  He was not adventurous, did not read 
dime novels, nor want to go to sea.  The SMITHs do not believe the lad 
was abducted for ransom.
	When he disappeared young SMITH wore a light coat, black short 
trousers, black shoes and stockings and a mixed gray cap.

SAYS HUSBAND IS A BIGAMIST
One of the Alleged Wives of Eugene A.JONES, and Artist, Has Him Arrested.
HE IS SILENT IN COURT
Brooklyn Girl Said to Be Second Choice of Californian
	Eugene A. JONES, a landscape artist with a studio at 228 Fifth avenue, 
Manhattan, who bears a remarkable resemblance to Count Boni de 
Castellane, was charged with abandonment and bigamy in the Butler 
street court to-day.  Magistrate TIGHE held min in $2,000 bail for 
examination.
	According to the story told by Mrs. JONES, who, before her marriage was 
Miss Frances LOOBY, of Philadelphia, her husband falls in love with 
every pretty face he sees.
	"My husband," continued Mrs. JONES, "is a native of Sacramento, Cal., 
where his father owns acres of orange groves.  He sent my husband to 
Leland Stanford University and gave him a good education.  Painting was 
his hobby, and after taking a course in oil painting in San Francisco 
he came to Philadelphia in 1888.  [Transcriber's note:  Stanford 
University didn't open it's doors until October 1891.]
	"Shortly after his arrival in that city he met me and after a courtship 
of a year we were married in St. Boniface's R.C. Church by the pastor, 
Rev. Joseph A. Kantz.  We lived in Philadelphia for six years and moved 
to Brooklyn in 1894.  Here Mr. JONES was very successful and did  lot 
of work.  But soon after his arrival in Brooklyn he became fond of the 
company of other women.  Whe, he was on the point of eloping on three 
different occasions, each time with a different girl, when I chanced to 
hear of his plans and intercepted him."
	Mrs. JONES said that her husband finally escaped her vigilance on June 
8 of last year and left her.  They were living at 228 Atlantic avenue.  
She was unable to locate him until a friend told her that if she 
inquired at the Brush and Palette Club they might be able to tell her 
where he was.  She did so and learned that her husband had a 
magnificent studio at 228 Fifth avenue, Manhattan.  She also learned, 
she says, that he had been married  to Miss Greta Caroline CLASSON, of 
Kingsland avenue, by the Rev. Vithelm LIPPLING, of St. Paul's Swedish 
Lutheran Church, last September.  She swore out a warrant for his 
arrest.

	JONES was arrested in his studio by Detectives CREAMER and KNOLL, of 
the Bergen street station, this morning.  In court, he refused to 
discuss the case.

HOLIDAY MAKERS HURT ON THE TROLLEY LINES.
In spite of the assertion by officers of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit 
Company [B.R.T.]  that there were no accidents on its lines yesterday a 
good many of yesterday's patrons are to-day out of commission, so to 
speak.
Two men were seriously hurt on the Broadway line, one of them a 
conductor, by coming in contact with elevated railway pillars, or 
rather with an elevated pillar, for, though on different cars at 
different hours, the victims were hurt by the same pillar, at Broadway 
and Aberdeen street.  Two persons also received broken legs by falling 
off cars of the Reid avenue line.  The large crowd of men and boys, who 
found it necessary to hang on the running boards of the open trolley 
cars, were partly responsible for the accidents.
	As car No. 472 of the Broadway line crowded with passengers, bound for 
the Evergreens and Cypress Hills Cemeteries, reached Broadway and 
Aberdeen street, Conductor Nathan GREEN, 19 years of age, of 113 Essex 
street, who was busy collecting fares on the running board, swung out 
rather far to get around a small boy on the board.
	At this point the "L" pillars stand in the middle of the street, within 
a few inches of the trolley roadway.  GREEN's head came violently in 
contact with an iron pillar and he dropped like a log to the pavement 
with a deep gash over his right temple, and unconscious.
	Ambulance Surgeon CARDOZA, of the Bushwick Hospital, removed the 
injured man to the hospital, where to-day it is said he was in critical 
condition with a probable fracture of the skull.
	A short time later car No. 727, of the same line, approached the same 
spot, and Frank BROWN, 21 years of age, of 19 Evergreen place, a 
passenger who was forced to stand on the running board and had been 
pushed slightly forward by those inside the car, banged his head 
against the same pillar.  He, too, fell to the ground partly 
unconscious, with a deep gash over the right temple and was attended by 
Dr. CARDOZA and removed to his home.
	These accidents at this spot, it is said, are but a repetition of last 
year's events, when numbers of persons were hurt in the same manner.  
Various efforts have from time to time been made to have the "L" 
pillars placed on the sidewalk to do away with the danger, but have met 
with no success.  It is expected that before the summer has run its 
course there will be more similar accidents,if not loss of life.

-While attempting to alight from Reid avenue car No. 1745, at Reid 
avenue and Quincy street, Thomas FAGAN, 55 years old, of 713 Lexington 
avenue, fell to the street and broke his left leg.  He was taken to his 
home by Ambulance Surgeon CARDOZA, of the Bushwick Hospital.

-A similar accident happened to Laura HOLMES, 56 years of age, of 1885 
Dean street, as she was getting off trolley car No. 238, of the same 
line, at Halsey street and Reid avenue.  She was thrown from the car by 
its starting suddenly before she had a chance to alight in safety.  She 
was attended for a broken leg by the same doctor and removed to the 
hospital.

-Charles HUNTER, a negro, 35 years of age, of 54 Rochester avenue, who 
was a passenger on Reid avenue car No. 232, while attempting to get off 
at Utica and Atlantic avenues, fell to the pavement, receiving a scalp 
wound.  He was attended by Ambulance Surgeon EBERSOLE, of the Bradford 
Street Hospital and taken to his home.

STEEPLECHASE FOR AN ALLEGED THIEF
Rear Yard Gardens in Stuyvesant Heights Section Suffer
Pursuit Covers Two Blocks; Prisoner Claims He Bought Stolen Bicycle
	Patrolman John BROWN of the Ralph avenue station, while strolling
his beat along Saratoga avenue yesterday afternoon, was attracted by
a crowd of persons chasing a well-dressed man, who was dragging a
bicycle. The officer gave chase. When the fugitive saw him, he
dropped the machine and, running through a vacant lot,  vaulted a fence.
	BROWN followed, and for two blocks they traversed the back yards,
cut through gardens and leaped fences until the man was finally caught.
He said he was Thomas DAVIS of 186 Palmetto street.

This morning in the Gates avenue court when taken before Magistrate
FURLONG on a charge of being a suspicious person, DAVIS said he had
bought the wheel from a man for $1. As he was walking along the
street he was approached by another man who attempted to strike him
with a whip. Fearing the attack, he ran away.

Mr. HEGELEIN of 540 Bainbridge street, came forward and told the
magistrate that the wheel belonged to him and had been stolen from
the basement of his apartments yesterday afternoon, the lock on the 
door leading to the basement having been forced. DAVIS still insisted 
he had bought the wheel. He was held in $200 bail.

STOLE RIDE AND FRACTURED SKULL
Nicholas BROWN, a blacksmith, 32 years old, of 213 McDougall street,
was removed to the Bradford Street Hospital last night in an
unconscious condition, suffering from a fracture of the skull, due
to a fall while trying to steal a ride on the back of a truck driven
by James CAMPBELL at Sheffield avenue and Fulton street.

THRILLING TALE*
Tells Police Strange Italian Threatened to Kill Her Unless She Eloped
Sergt. Newmeyer Gets Busy; Finds Man But Girl's Father Refuses to Press Charge
	Jennie NITTI, 14 years old, who lives with her parents at 2358
Atlantic avenue, accompanied by her married sister, Mrs. Louis
GETCHELLA, of the same address, walked into the Brownsville station
house late yesterday afternoon and told Lt. Sullivan, who was on
desk duty, a sensational story about a man known to her as "Jimmie"
threatening to cut her throat from ear to ear with a razor if she
did not run away to Canada with him.
	The girl, who is large for her age, said she was returning home from
a friend's house shortly after 9 Thursday evening when the man, who
is a big fellow, walked up to her as she was about to enter her
home, and asked her to take a little walk with him. When she refused
to walk with him, he told her he was going to Canada and wanted her
to go with him. She then attempted to enter the doorway of her home
when he grabbed her and said he would return at 7 o'clock, and if
she was not ready to run away with him, he would cut her throat from
ear to ear.
	At this the girl screamed, and her mother rushed out in time to see
the fellow running down the street. The girl told her story to her
father and mother, after which she went to bed.
	Mr. and Mrs. NITTI discussed the matter for awhile and decided to
report the case to the police in the morning, but when the morning
came the girl did not seem to be frightened over the affair and it
was decided to let the matter drop, the parents believing that the
man did not mean what he said. The girl, who assists her mother at
home, did not speak of the matter during the day, but about 5
o'clock, Mrs. NITTI, who felt uneasy over the occurrence, decided to
send Jennie in company with her married sister to the station house
and report it.
	After hearing the girl's story, Lt. SULLIVAN called Sergt. NEWMEYER
and instructed him to go to the home of the NITTI family, which is
in the heart of the East New York Italian colony, shortly after 6
o'clock and watch for the man. NEWMEYER arrived in front of the
house about 6:15 and secreted himself behind one of the Long Island
Railroad Company's elevated pillars. After waiting until 8 o'clock,
NEWMEYER went over to the NITTI home and found the girl in the rear
room under guard of her father and three brothers. Joseph NITTI, one
of the brothers, told NEWMEYER that the man who threatened his
sister was seen going into a nearby saloon. NEWMEYER then asked the
girl if she thought she would know the man if she saw him and she
declared that she would. Then, the officer, accompanied by the girl,
went to the saloon, where the girl pointed out an Italian sitting at
one of the tables. NEWMEYER approached the man, who admitted he had
seen the girl before, but denied that he had made any such threat.
The girl's father was then brought in and NEWMEYER asked if he
wished to make a charge against the man, whom the girl positively
identified as the one who threatened her. (cut off)

THREE BOYS RUN DOWN BY AUTOMOBILES
Another Youth Barely Escapes Death Under Car Wheels
While crossing Ames street at Pitkin avenue, yesterday afternoon,
Isaac FISHMAN, 6 years old, of 76 Ames street, was struck by an
automobile operated by William DOTCH of 76 Rockaway avenue. The
boy's tongue was badly lacerated by his teeth as the machine hit his
chin. He was removed to the Bradford Street Hospital and later taken
home. There was no arrest.

While riding a bicycle on Albany avenue near Prospect place
yesterday afternoon, Edward SIMON, 16 years old, was run down by an
automobile going in the same direction. He fell to the ground and
sustained injuries which necessitated his removal to St. John's
Hospital. The number of the machine is given as 34,040.

Sixteen-year-old Harry ROSENTHAL of 32 Willet street, Manhattan, was
riding a bicycle across the Williamsburg Bridge yesterday afternoon
when, at the Manhattan tower, he was struck by an express automobile
driven by Michael McAVOY of  694 Ninth avenue. The lad was knocked
from his wheel and sustained abrasions of the face and left leg. He
was attended by Dr. DRISCOLL, who took him home.

Nine-year-old Charles WEIMAN, whose parents live at 264 Division
avenue, was knocked down by a Tompkins avenue car at Division avenue
and Keap street yesterday afternoon and sustained a lacerated wound
of the scalp. He was attended by Dr. VOGT of Williamsburg Hospital,
who took him home.

William HURLEY, 26 years old, of 129 Third avenue, was seized with
an epileptic fit at the corner of Fulton and Jay streets yesterday
afternoon, and fell under the hoofs of a horse standing near the
curb. One of the horse's feet struck his chin and nearly fractured
his jaw. An ambulance surgeon attended him and he left for home
after being revived.

Christopher BEVERS, 48 years old, of 70 Van Dike street, while
crossing Beard street near Van Brunt street, was struck and knocked
down by a trolley car of the Van Brunt street line. He sustained
severe contusions of the legs and a scalp wound, which were dressed
by an ambulance surgeon from the Long Island College Hospital. He
then went home.

WOMAN LEAVES BABY WITH BOY IN STREET AND FAILS TO RETURN
While Charley TANNER, 10 years old, was playing in front of his home
at 65 South Third street yesterday afternoon with a number of boys,
he was approached by a middle-aged woman pushing a baby carriage, 
who asked him to mind her baby while she went to a corner store. 
For his trouble the stranger gave the lad ten cents. She promised 
to return in ten minutes.
	Charley wheeled the carriage up and down the block for half an hour,
but the woman did not return. He then told Policeman DOYLE what had
happened. The latter took the baby carriage to the Bedford avenue
station.
	The infant was apparently about 3 months old and was dressed in
white, wearing a silk cap. There were no marks of identification.
The TANNER boy repeated the story to Lt. GAUGHRAN and the latter
immediately sent out a general alarm for the mother, whom the boy
described as being about five feet five inches tall, light
complexion and wearing a shawl over her head.
The baby was sent to the City Nurse.

BOY SKIPS WITH SHIPMATE'S CLOTHING AND MASONIC RING
John Robert LANDER, a sailor attached to the steamship Drumgarth,
lying at the Atlantic Docks,  called at Police Headquarters last
night and asked the aid of the police in finding a boy named Poseph
DOWNING (as printed), 16 years old, who disappeared from the vessel
from after making arrangements with the British Consul to be sent
home to his father, a wealthy hotel proprietor at Moncton, New
Brunswick. Lander was more interested in a new suit of clothes, a
Masonic ring and a blue silk scarf which the boy had borrowed from
him before leaving the vessel, so that he could make a presentable
appearance to the British Consul.
	Young DOWNING shipped on the vessel at Moncton and got tired of
seafaring before the voyage was ended. Lander and another sailor
named McNULTY assisted the boy BROWNING (as printed) in many ways
during the voyage and LANDER feels feels the ingratitude more than
he does the loss of  his best suit. The silk muffler he prizes
highly because it is a gift from his mother, and the Masonic ring he
values because it was given to him by a dying shipmate. The suit he
bought for 55 bob, and he never had a chance to wear it.

DOG BITES MAN AND IS KILLED
William BERGEN, of Warehouse and Railroad avenues, while walking
though Twenty-fourth street last night, was attacked by a dog owned
by Louis LINGULL, a resident of Twenty-fourth street, near Railroad
avenue. The animal bit BERGEN on the leg. He was attended at his
home by a physician, and a policeman shot the dog.

LOVE-LORN SOLDIER WEDS THIS MONTH
This Accounts for Mac Not Replying Promptly.
	The little blind god has been shooting his arrows into Brooklyn's
telephone exchanges with alarming frequency this spring. His last
dart, shot recently, landed into "South." He made the bull's-eye for
it, but he hit not an ordinary hello girl's heart, but that of the
"boss" of all the ninety pretty
girls in the exchange -- no less a personage than the chief operator.
	She is Miss Mae MARTIN, young, athletic and most efficient of all
the chief operators in Brooklyn. On June 10 she is to resign. The
end of the month will see her wed to a man who wears Uncle Sam's
khaki. James GREENWOOD is his name, He is master electrician at Fort
Hamilton, in line for a commission and at present one of the
highest-salaried non-coms in the service. He is an F. F. V. and has
attended the University of Virginia. The wedding is to take place at
the old Church of St. Patrick at Fort Hamilton, where Father 
Joseph F .McGINLEY is the rector.
	It is a romance of the telephone wires that is to cause the wedding
bells to ring more joyfully in the pretty operator's ears than any
call she ever answered before. Greenwood fell in love with Miss
Martin when he first heard her voice over the wire. Her silvery
tones charmed him. After that his call, fervent though outspoken,
was, "Hello, chief operator. Give me matrimony." The call sounded in
her heart, if not in her ear. As a zealous hello girl what could she
do but obey?
	Less than two weeks ago, Miss Myrtle RIKER, chief operator at Coney
Island, quit her job. It was to tread the rose-strewn path that
leads to the altar. Her companion on the stroll dear to all feminine
hearts was George BAILEY, a Wall street broker. This hello girl's
wedding was also a romance of the wires, BAILEY becoming engaged of
the chief operator while using the phone. A summer spent at Jersey
Lake, where the Coney Island girl for the nonce became a mermaid,
did the rest. They now live at Elmhurst, where they will remain
during the season.
There are others, but details are fatuous.
	It was the inability of a green operator in "South" to give the
dashing soldier the number he wanted that brought the chief hello
girl to the phone. "Chief" soon straightened out the difficulty. Her
approaching wedding is the result.

STOLE RIDE AND FRACTURED SKULL
Nicholas BROWN, a blacksmith, 32 years old, of 213 McDougall street,

by James CAMPBELL at Sheffield avenue and Fulton street.

DYING, HE PLEADS FOR ASSAILANT
James Bradley Fatally Shot by James Pi Guida in Quarrel Over Young Woman
Row At Fifth Ward Outing
Victim Insisted on Dancing With Friend's Girl
	During an altercation over a girl last night at Atlantic Park, Ralph
avenue and Park place, James PI GUIDA, 27 years old, of New York,
shot James BRADLEY, 23 years old, of 32 Vine street, in the left
breast under the heart. The shooting caused the wildest excitement
in the dancing pavilion where it took place and someone telephoned
in the Atlantic avenue station for the reserves.
	PI GUIDA made his escape but was captured later in Mott street,
Manhattan. Bradley was attended by ambulance surgeon FARMER, of St.
Mary's Hospital, and removed to that institution, where it is said
he will die.
	BRADLEY and PI GUIDA have been friends since boyhood. The "Little
Prank" Association of the Fifth Ward to which the young men belonged
held a picnic last night at Atlantic Park. BRADLEY and PI GUIDA both
brought young ladies to the affair. According to what the police
have been able to learn, BRADLEY was very attentive to PI GUIDA's
companion and danced with her frequently. This excited PI GUIDA's
jealousy and he told BRADLEY, it is alleged, that if he danced with
the girl again there would be trouble.
	About 9 o'clock BRADLEY asked the girl for another dance and she
consented. PI GUIDA waited until they got to the middle of the
pavilion and making his away among couples on the floor, drew a .32
calibre revolver from his pocket and, approaching BRADLEY,
exclaimed,
"You will do me dirt," and fired point blank at him.
	Instantly the place was in an uproar and to make the confusion
greater, someone turned out the lights. The women fled, screaming,
from the place and PI GUIDA escaped.
	When the reserves of the Atlantic avenue station arrived they found
the place in darkness and the waiters trying to quiet the people. In
the middle of the floor BRADLEY was found unconscious. The police
detained a dozen young men who said they know BRADLEY, and when the
ambulance surgeon removed the man to the hospital, the "cops," after
questioning the young fellows, learned that PI GUIDA  was the one
who had fired the shot.
	Acting Capt. BLANEY and Lieut. RICHARDSON, with the detectives,
started on a hunt for PI GUIDA. At 3 this morning, Patrolman John J.
BARRY of the Elizabeth street station, Manhattan,  noticed a man
trying to get into a chop suey restaurant in Mott street. He didn't
like his actions and held him up. BARRY found a loaded revolver with
one chamber empty in the man's pocket and locked him up.
	Capt. BLANEY heard of the arrest and took one of the men he detained
to Manhattan. He identified PI GUIDA as the man who did the shooting.
	When PI GUIDA was taken to BRADLEY's bedside, they both embraced
each other, and PI GUIDA, with tears streaming down his cheeks, said
he was sorry he did it. He said he only meant to scare him.
	"That's all right, Jimmie," said BRADLEY, "it was my fault." Then,
turning to the others, BRADLEY said,
	"This isn't a bad guy. He couldn't help it, and I had no business
doing what I did. He's got a mother and father and a sister, and
they're all on the level, and so is he. This will break them up."
	The excitement was too much for BRADLEY and he began to lose
consciousness, but before the police led PI GUIDA away, BRADLEY
called Acting Capt. BLANEY to him and whispered,
"Give him a square deal."
	The doctors at St. Mary's tried probing for the bullet this morning
but were unsuccessful. They will make another attempt this
afternoon, but on account of the proximity of the wound to the
heart, it is feared that BRADLEY will not survive the operation.
	PI GUIDA was taken before Magistrate FURLONG in the Gates avenue
court later in the day and held to await the result of BRADLEY's injuries.
	John CONNOLLY, one of the young men who was detained by the police
after the shooting, was also held as a witness. His bail was fixed at $1,000.

GIRL'S HAND CUT IN SAVING MOTHER
Cobbler, in Quarrel, Had Threatened Wife With Knife
	In a heroic attempt to save her mother from being stabbed, little
Mary GARRIGAN, 9 years old, grabbed the blade of a knife with which
her father was threatening to kill his wife. She stayed the blow and
saved her mother's life, but in holding on to the keen edge of the
cobbler's knife the tender flesh of her own hand was cut through to
the bone.
	Mary fell in a faint, and the sight of his child's condition seemed
to recall the father to himself and he hastily called in a
policeman, who in turn summoned Dr. SNYDER from the
Cumberland Street Hospital. The doctor dressed the little girl's
hand, but lid not take her to the institution.
	The father, Joseph GARRIGAN, 49 years old, a cobbler, with a shop at
102 Clifton place, was arrested and taken before Magistrate NAUMER
in the Myrtle avenue court today. He said he had quarreled with his
wife and grabbed the knife, thinking to frighten her, when Mary
sprang between them.
	He was held in $1,000 ball for examination on June 1.

CONDUCTOR SAYS WAGON DRIVER BROKE HIS JAW
	John WHALEN was before Magistrate Furlong today in the Gates avenue
court, charged with having assaulted John MORRIS, of 88 Alabama
avenue, a conductor on a Fulton street surface car. The alleged
assault took place nearly a month ago, but the defendant since that
time has been under the doctor's care in St. Mary's Hospital. He was
released yesterday and today made a formal complaint against WHALEN.
	It appears according to the complainant, that on May 10, as the car
he was in charge of approached a Fulton street store one of the
wagons blocked the car tracks and in order to pass it was necessary
to move the wagon. Morris got off the car and, going to the horse's
head, pulled the wagon to one side. Just as he was doing this
WHALEN, so he alleged, hit him with his fist, breaking his jaw.
	The defendant pleaded not guilty to the charge and was held in $500
bail for further examination.

15-year-old nephew, Jack BONAMO, who left home on Decoration Day. At
first, Mr. BONAMO thought the youth had gone to visit relatives, but
as days went by he began to worry, and now has requested the police
to look for the boy. When he left home, young BONAMO wore a
telescope hat with a Havana hatter's inscription and a suit of dark
gray. The runaway is light haired and clear skinned, and rather tall
for his age. He has been only two years in this country. He was a
pupil of Public School No. 100.

concealed weapons. In the Coney Island Court this morning, STERLING
was held for examination on June 11.

	The Duke of the Abruzzi, the most retiring foreign visitor whom New
York has sought to entertain since his arrival, pleaded
indisposition last night and slipped away to Coney Island. With
Stephen B. EIKENS Jr. as pilot, he saw about all there was to see
there. He shot the chutes, rode the flying horse, took a spin in the
airships and fraternized with the Moroccan bandits in the "Orient."
He has to chase his hat, too, just like any other mortal, after a
ride on a scenic railway. "How exhilarating," he cried after he and
Mr. EIKENS' party shot the Dreamland chutes with their guests. "This
is great!" he declared after the second trip. "What is it you
Americans say all the time? I have it now! Ah, let's have another."
And he shot them for a third time. Only a promise for a long ride on
the scenic railway in the park dragged him away, but not before he
had done it for the fourth time. All the scenic railway rides in
Dreamland were visited. The duke enjoyed it as much as a boy on a
stolen holiday, and so did the women who were members of the party.
	Then the prince took in the Bowery. He insisted on riding on every
ride and slide, and played at the Japanese ball game where you win
if the machine is out of order. They were working all right last
night. Then the duke took a farewell ride and lost his hat. The
crown was lost, so for the first time in its history, Yitsof
OSHCOLOROWSKY's notions and dry goods emporium on Surf avenue had a
royal customer. Yitsof at once told his staff of polite and obliging
clerks, Wolf LEVENSTEIN, to mark up everything 10 percent.

BURGLAR WALKS OFF WITH BAKER'S WATCH
 Charles WINTERBAUER, proprietor of a bakery shop at 80 Park avenue,
reported to the police of the Flushing avenue station that some time
between 12:30 and 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon a burglar entered
his house and stole a gold hunting case watch from the pocket of his
waistcoat, which was hanging in a room on the top floor.
The detectives are hunting for clues.

SLIPPERY RAILS CAUSE OF BRIDGE COLLISION
	Slippery rails on the north roadway of the Brooklyn Bridge were
responsible for a rear end collision between a Myrtle avenue car and
one of the Graham avenue line, and the slight injury of several
passengers who were thrown from their seats late yesterday
afternoon. The accident occurred at the height of the rush hour, but
traffic was delayed only a few minutes.
	Joseph STEPHENS, 22 years old, of 22 Maspeth avenue, had his left
hip bruised.

 LOAD OF PHOTOGRAPH PLATES SMASHED BY CAR
A Consolidated Express Company wagon loaded with photographic
plates, boxes of books and cans of oil was smashed by a Bergen
street car, at Adams street and Myrtle avenue during the rush hour
last evening. Charles LINDBERG, the driver of the wagon, was not
injured, but his helper, William CORNELL, 14 years old, of 215
Twenty-second street, was buried under the wreckage, and severely
cut and bruised. The accident tied up Myrtle avenue, Bergen street,
Fifth avenue and Seventh avenue lines for half an hour.

WOMAN ARRESTED ON SHOPLIFTING CHARGE
Sarah BROWN was accused in the Adams street court today of having
stolen two shirt waists and a piece of lace from a Fulton street
department store. The hearing was adjourned until June 11.

FRANKFURTERS WERE HIS SOLE DIET FOR WEEKS
	There always has been and probably always will be doubts on the part
of many individuals concerning the nourishing properties contained
in the small but appealing frankfurter, or what is better known,
drifting into the vernacular of the confirmed Coney Islander, as the
"hot dog." Some persons utterly ignore the frankfurter as a staple
article of food, their stomachs as well as their minds dissenting,
but all the fixed opinions will receive a severe shock and
undoubtedly will experience a decided change when the fact is made
public that one very small but very healthy looking youth of ten
years actually existed on these same frankfurters for two long
weeks, and furthermore waxed fat on the diet.
	Harry RAYMOND is a firm advocate of the young sausages. He believes
that they contain the very cream of the pork, so to speak, and if it
came to a toss up whether he was to have ice cream or a hot dog,
Harry wouldn't linger long deciding; he'd go for the "dog" every
time. If Coney Island's one best seller had many adherents as
enthusiastic as Harry, cold weather wouldn't have any chills for the
managers of the small stands where they are dispensed.
	The youthful meat eater was discovered yesterday, by an officer
attached to the Coney Island police station, while strolling along
Surf avenue near Jones' walk. For the past week or so he has become
a familiar figure at the island, but as he always appeared to know
just what he was doing and where he wanted to go, the police were
led to believe he lived in the vicinity. Yesterday, however, the
boy's actions aroused suspicion and he was taken to the station house.
	There, he told a tale that opened the eyes of the officers. Harry
said that he was supposed to live at 364 Fifteenth street, but he
wasn't particularly fond of his home, preferring life at the island.
Money was unknown to him; in fact, he had no use for coin of the
realm. Everything he wanted he got for the asking, and all he
happened to want was five or six luscious "dogs" a day. These were
given to him by the various vendors, who appeared only too willing
to get rid of them.
	"Sure, I likes dog," said the humble Harry. "I eats about ten of 'em
every day. De fellers who sell 'em always was good to me and I never
was hungry all de time I was down here, and dat's over two weeks. I
go to school. Dat is, I did go, but I'm smart and found dat dere
wasn't any need of going. Say, would youse fellers like to hear me
bark? I got so many bow-wows in me dat I'm going to enter the next
dog show," and suiting his actions to his words, he gave three
successive yelps ending in a long howl that would put the most
conceited of canines to shame.
	Harry will be taken to the Children's Society, while a search can be
made for his parents.

BANDIT''S HORSE BUCKED: RIDER SEVERELY HURT
While chasing after the stagecoach in the "Days of Forty-nine" show
at Luna Park, Frederick A. POWERS, 30 years old, of West Fifth
street and Sheepshead Bay road, the leader of the "bandits," met
with a severe accident. His horse fell, and Powers' right foot was
fractured.

BADLY INJURED THROUGH SLIP IN SIDEWALK
While on his way home from business yesterday afternoon, Morris
ETENSTEIN, 24 years old, a clerk employed in Manhattan, slipped on
Osborn street near Belmont avenue and sustained a severe scalp wound
and possibly a fracture of the skull. Ambulance surgeon EBERSOL of
the Bradford Street Hospital was summoned and removed the young man
to his home at 79 Belmont avenue, where he was placed in the hands
of the family physician.

LONGSHOREMAN PULLS GUN ON POLICEMAN
Sgt. KELLY, of the McDougal street station, Manhattan, arrested
Antonio NERI of 616 Greenwich street, charged (him) with disorderly
conduct and carrying concealed weapons at the Atlantic Transport
Line piers at the foot of Houston street this morning. It is alleged
that NERI, who is a Longshoreman, tried to interfere with some
strikebreakers who were working at the piers.
	KELLY ordered the man to desist, whereupon the man drew a pistol. 
He was immediately knocked down by the sergeant and the weapon was
taken away from him.

WHO'S LOST A NICE GILT STATUETTE OF MINERVA?
Frank RYAN, giving his address as 355 Pearl street, was
unquestionably loaded to the guard when he was sighted by Traffic
Officer John REILLY navigating Washington street near Myrtle with
much difficulty. What constituted the cargo in his hold could only
be surmised, but his deck load consisted of an immense black
enameled clock and a gilt statuette of Minerva. His course seemed to
be steered for a three-balled lighthouse that loomed up on an
adjacent headland. REILLY hove alongside and piloted RYAN to the
Harbor on Adams street, where the green light blazes at night. On
the way, a man who didn't give his name accused RYAN of stealing his
overcoat and identified gloves found on RYAN as a pair that had been
in the coat when last in his custody. The police are trying to
locate the coat and the owner of the clock and statuette.

FATHER OF 13 CHILDREN TRIES TO END LIFE
	Stephen KOPPUS, 41 years old, of 791 Kent avenue, the father of 13
children, is a prisoner in the Cumberland Street Hospital, charged
with attempted suicide. KOPPUS is a carpenter, and last night he
returned home, bringing with him a kit of tools. According to his
wife, he was intoxicated and she left him in the kitchen as he was
in a quarrelsome mood. Sometime later, believing that her husband
had fallen asleep, she returned to the kitchen and found KOPPUS
lying on the floor with a tiny stream of blood trickling from his neck.
	She called an officer from the Flushing avenue station who happened
to be passing. The wound was not serious, so no ambulance call was
sent in. The man was taken to the Flushing avenue station, where he
was attended by Dr. PARKER.
	About midnight, KOPPUS became ill in his cell and was sent to the
hospital.

5 June 1907
SOUGHT DEATH BY GAS AFTER FAMILY QUARREL
	Josephine KANE, 30 years old, of Melville, N.J., who attempted to
commit suicide yesterday afternoon at the home of her uncle, Eugene
GOLDEN, at 34 Eidert street, was not in fit condition to be taken to
the Gates avenue court today.  She is still in the Bushwick
Hospital,  where it is said that she is progressing nicely and will
eventually recover.
	Her act is said to have been the outcome of a quarrel with her
relatives in which, so GOLDEN declares, she threatened to do various
things to them.  He at once went to the Ralph avenue station and
reported the affair, and at his request two officers were sent to
his house.
	On their arrival they went to the woman's room on the top floor of
the house, where they detected the odor of gas.  The door was forced
and the woman was seen lying on the bed in an unconscious condition,
the gas jet being turned on.  Ambulance Surgeon CADOZA was summoned 
and she was taken as a prisoner to the Bushwick Hospital.

WEDDING DELAYED BY COUPLE'S ARREST
	The effect of cocaine on a man was plainly demonstrated in the Gates
Avenue Court today when Peter FARLEY of 5 Chatham square, Manhattan,
appeared before Magistrate FURLONG, charged with intoxication and
flourishing a revolver in the streets.  His companion, Annie SEXTON,
who said she lived in the East Side, Manhattan, was also charged
with intoxication.  They were arrested last night on Atlantic Avenue
near Elton street by Officer Patrick H. BOLGER, of Liberty avenue
station, who saw FARLEY rushing up the avenue wildly brandishing a
revolver, followed by the woman, who in turn was being chased by a
large and excited crowd.
	When taken to the station house FARLEY was found to be in such a
nervous condition that an ambulance surgeon from St. Mary's hospital
was summoned, who had to administer an opiate to quiet him.  When
searched, two small vials containing cocaine were found on him.  His
arms and body were entirely covered with tattoo marks and when
questioned he admitted that he was Peter FARLEY, the tattoo artist,
who is well known on the Bowery.
	When taken into court today, FARLEY was still under the effects of
the drug and was unable at first to give any account of himself.
Finally, in a rambling manner, and accompanied by many wild
gestures, he told the court how we came to be running down Atlantic
Avenue with a revolver in his hand:
	"I was after them," he explained. "We were standing on some corner
when two men came up to me.  One of them tore open my coat and took
out of the inside pocket $25.  Then they ran away with me after them."
	When asked what he was doing in Brooklyn he said that he and Miss
SEXTON we're going to get married and were on their way to
Huntington.  He then produced a diamond ring, which he claimed was
to be the wedding gift to his bride.
"You are now full of cocaine, aren't you?"  asked the magistrate.
	FARLEY nodded his head in reply and said: "Yes I take the stuff.  A
friend of mine taught me to take it and for nine months I've been
its victim."  At this point he became very nervous, his legs and
arms shaking so that he came near falling to the floor.
	Both prisoners pleaded not guilty to the charge of intoxication and
where each held in $200 bail.  FARLEY was held in $500 on the second
charge of flourishing a revolver. He was taken back to the pen and
Magistrate FURLONG suggested that he receive medical attention.

ALLEGED "PANHANDLER" BOTHERS ISLANDERS
Charged with "panhandling" Edward KELLY, 27 years old, of 23 Bowery,
Coney Island, was arrested last night in the Culver Depot by a
special officer for the B.R.T.  The officer said that KELLY was an
old hand at the business of grafting, in which operation, the
officer said, he stuck one arm under his coat, pretending a severed
member. When KELLY was searched, 69 cents in coppers were found in
his pockets.  He denied the charge of panhandling in the Coney
Island court today and was held for examination tomorrow.

CHILD ABLAZE BEFORE SURF AVENUE CROWDS
	Eleven-year-old Mamie BAHNKEN's trip to Coney Island last night
almost had a fatal ending. She had seen all the sights at the
seaside resort in company with her mother, Mrs. Kate BAHNKEN, of 699
Henry street, and was returning to the trains on Surf avenue when
she spotted a vendor selling some early green corn "all hot."  She
asked her mother to buy an ear.
	The stand of the corn vendor, Andrew PRIMIO, at the corner of Surf
Avenue and Thompson's Walk, was the center of attraction for
numerous other hungry sightseers and many were clamoring for the hot
ears.  In the confusion, someone knocked over the fire pot and live
coals set fire to little Mamie's  flimsy skirt.
	In a moment the child was ablaze.  She screamed and several men
rushed to extinguish the flames.  They were put out in a Jiffy, but
not until Mamie had been badly burned on the right leg and about
the face and hands.  She was attended by Ambulance Surgeon SMALLMAN
of the Reception Hospital and taken to her home.  Her injuries are
not expected to do her permanent harm.

CHASE FOR THIEF ADDS TO JOYS OF CONEY ISLAND
No little excitement was caused to one of the big amusement parks at
Coney Island last night when Mrs. Albert SEAMAN, of 177 Eighth
avenue, set up a cry of "Stop thief" and started in pursuit of a man
who, she asserted, had snatched her pocketbook. The chase was joined
by a score of pleasure-seekers in the park, and the fugitive, Frank
GEIST, 21 years old, of 344 East First street, Manhattan, was captured.

In the Coney Island court today, Caspar PEPPIONI, of 5(?) Congress
street, who caught GEIST, was a witness and testified that Mrs.
SEAMAN's pocketbook was on the prisoner when he was nabbed.
Magistrate GEISMAR held GEIST in $2,000 bail for examination on
Friday on a charge of grand larceny.

ACCUSES HIS WIFE OF HABITUAL DRUNKENNESS
	Margaret GAVIN, who lives in service at 111 Raymond street, was
arrested today by Court Officer McGANN on a warrant charging her
with being an habitual drunkard. Her husband, Stephen GAVIN, of 124
High street, made the complaint. Mrs. GAVIN tearfully told
Magistrate HYLAN that the charge against her was false, and that she
was forced to go out to service because her husband had failed to
provide for her or their children. One of her children was in St.
John's Home, placed their by the father.
	GAVIN told the magistrate that his wife had been committed before by
Magistrate HIGGINBOTHAM as an habitual drunkard, that she spent all
the money he gave her on liquor, and endangered the morals of her
children. Mrs. GAVIN was paroled in the custody of Miss CONNOLLY
until June 11. Magistrate HYLAN told GAVIN he thought he was just as
much to blame as his wife.

HELD UP PATROL WAGON TO RESCUE HIS FRIEND
	John KELLEY, 38 years old, who says he is employed on the tugboat
Weed, which is now at the foot of Clay street, and John DILLON, 54
years old, of 134 Pearsall street, put in a convivial few hours in
Greenpoint last night. On their way home, KELLEY stopped at a lamp
post on Manhattan avenue and refused to go any further. DILLON
proceeded alone. KELLEY was affectionately embracing the lamp post
when Patrolman BOYLAN happened along. He noted KELLEY's condition
and telephoned to the Greenpoint avenue station house for a patrol wagon.
	After KELLEY had been loaded into the wagon, and equipage had gone
for nearly half a block, the horses stopped and refused to proceed.
The driver dismounted and found DILLON standing by the wagon tongue.
"Hey," called the policeman, "what are you doing there?"
	DILLON replied: "What am I doin'? Why I ain't a-goin' to have John
taken to the cooler. No, sir-ee!"
	Thereupon DILLON was also bundled into the wagon. They were locked
up in the station house, and in the Manhattan avenue court today
Magistrate O'REILLY discharged KELLEY, while he fined DILLON $2.

ARRESTED AS DRUNK; CONFESSES TO THEFT
	The owner of a clock and ornament found in the possession of Frank
RYAN yesterday by Traffic Officer REILLY, on Washington street, is
Mrs. Barbara FREYER, who lives at 7 Henry street. When she got home
yesterday afternoon she missed the clock and some other articles.
	RYAN, it is claimed, pawned some other things and spent the money
for whiskey, and was on his way to pawn the clock when Officer
REILLY nabbed him.
	In the Adams street court today he pleaded guilty and was held for
trial.

CHECKER TOURNAMENT BY STONE SOCIAL CLUB
	At a meeting of the Stone Social Club held at the residence of one

Louis COHEN, a Koscher butcher, at 179 Bridge street,
complained in the Adams street court today against Max FIDDLEBAUM,
his wife, Katharine, and his brother, Israel, also in the butcher
business next door. COHEN says the two men and woman mauled him
roughly on the street because he had started a business in
opposition to FIDDLEBAUM, for whom he had formerly worked. The
FIDDLEBAUMs were paroled until tomorrow, on a charge of assault.

FOUR MISSING ONES SOUGHT BY POLICE

seen at Coney Island May 29.

PRISONERS SING HYMN IN ADAMS ST. COURT
	While spectators and witnesses in the Adams street court were
awaiting the arrival of the magistrate to open the court this
morning, they were entertained by a "sacred" concert. A little
negress, who was arrested last night and who has a rich soprano
voice, began singing "Jesus, Lover of My Soul." In a moment, nearly
all the prisoners, male and female, took up the refrain. The court
officers became interested and listened to the hymn until a loud
guffaw from a male prisoner ended the concert.
	The leader of the chorus was Maggie ROSE. She was accused of being a
vagrant, which she denied, and was held for examination.

"COP" SAVES TWO FROM DEATH IN THE RIVER
Policeman Henry STEIN of the Hamilton avenue station has a good
chance (of) getting a medal for bravery. STEIN risked his life today
to rescue two longshoremen at the foot of Hamilton avenue. The men,

pier. STEIN heard their cries for help and jumped in, clothes and
all. After a hard struggle, he got the men ashore.

SMALL BOY ATTACKED BY A SAVAGE DOG
	Screaming so loudly that his father at a window a block away heard
him, 4-year-old Walter AHRENS of 1565 Seventy-fourth street, was
bitten this afternoon by a vicious fox terrier. The boy's left hand
was badly lacerated by the animal's teeth.
	The child is the son of Police Sergt. AHRENS, of the Coney Island
station, who is on his vacation at present. The boy went on an
errand for his father shortly after noon, and as he was returning
the dog suddenly ran up to him and snapped at his hand. Walter tried
to fight him off, to no avail, but in a few minutes the father
rushed to the rescue and fired two shots into the terrier's head.
	The boy's wounds were cauterized by Dr. John H. MULLER, of
Sixty-ninth street. It is not thought that the terrier was affected
with rabies.

CHURCH PEOPLE ARE FIGHTING AGAINST SALOON
	Residents in the vicinity of Greene and Tompkins avenues, especially
those who are members of the Church of the Second Advent, are to
make a fight against granting a license to Peter SHIEBLER for a
saloon at the corner of the avenues named. John DITTMERS, owner of
the property, says he has secured all but one of the required
consents and can get that at any time.
	Clark T. BROWN, president of the Board of Trustees of the church and
Superintendent of the Second Advent Sunday School, says:
	"The people of the church are absolutely opposed to the granting of
a license to carry on a liquor business at the corner, and will take
such steps as may be necessary to prevent it. We had a like
difficulty five or six years ago, but succeeded in preventing the
saloonkeeper from accomplishing his purpose. There will be a big
delegation to voice our protest, should it be necessary to send one.

HOUSE THIEVES BUSY IN THE BEDFORD SECTION
Two houses in the Bedford section were robbed during the absence
from home of the occupants yesterday afternoon.
	When Mrs. Martha GARDINER, of 272 Kingston avenue, returned to her
home on the first floor she found that burglars had ransacked all
the drawers and closets, and, in addition to what jewelry and
silverware they could find, had also taken a pocketbook containing a
small sum of money.

	At the home of Mrs. Matthew P. CONNORS, on the fourth floor of the
apartment house at 1324 Pacific street, thieves obtained more
valuables. They had gained entrance to Mrs. CONNORS' room by
springing the lock of the door with the blade of a knife. They
carried away jewelry, silverware and cut glass valued at $200.

RODE HORSE THROUGH HALL TO GET THIEF
	Riding his horse at full speed through the hallway of a tenement
house, Mounted Policeman WINKELMAN, of Jamaica, late yesterday
afternoon, captured a man who a few moments before had participated
in a daring attempt at a daylight holdup.
	Merando ALFREDO, 18 years old, of 95 Rockaway road, and a man known
as "Tony" entered the saloon at 95 South street, Jamaica, and
ordered drinks, which were served by Marie FELANO, who at the time
was in charge and alone in the place.
	After drinking, they demanded $10 of the woman, "Tony" drawing a
pistol and threatening to kill her if she did not comply with their
demand.
	The woman's cries for help brought two men from the street. Alfredo
and "Tony" fled with the two men in pursuit. WINKELMAN joined in the
chase and saw Alfredo run into the hallway of a house on South
street. WINKELMAN rode his horse on a run through the hallway and
arrested Alfredo in the yard at the rear. "Tony" escaped. When
Alfredo was searched, a stiletto and four cartridges were found upon
him. He was held for examination without bail on charges of
attempted robbery, threatening to kill and carrying a concealed weapon.

PRISONERS ESCAPE FROM CASTLE WILLIAM
	When a squad of 70 soldier prisoners left Castle William on
Governor's Island for the Federal Prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kan.,
yesterday morning, there were three missing from the ranks. The
absentees had escaped from the castle at 2 o'clock in the morning
and reached the New York or New Jersey shore by boat.
	It was one of the most daring escaped in the history of the ancient
and picturesque fortress. The men sawed their way to freedom through
a heavily grated window on the third, or top, tier of cells, lowered
themselves to the ground by means of a rope woven from strips of
their blankets, and disappeared while the guard was being changed,
or within a period of five minutes.

WEDDING LICENSE BILL PASSED BY ASSEMBLY
ALBANY, June 5 -- The Assembly passed a marriage license bill
yesterday by a vote of 88 to 29. It was introduced by Assemblyman
WOOD, of Jefferson, a physician, and Senator COBB. Many members were
in favor of the principle of the bill, but opposed to its form. It
provides that those intending matrimony must obtain a marriage
license and answer a score of questions upon it.
	"The bill," said Dr. WOOD, "would correct many evils. I think there
would be fewer runaway couples." Dr. WOOD declares that, in his
belief, it has the endorsement of every clergyman in the state.

COP' NEARLY LOST LIFE FOR OTHERS
Wrightman Rescued a Whole Family and Tried to Save More
OVERCOME BY THE SMOKE
Dragged From Burning Building With Life Almost Extinct
	Policeman WRIGHTMAN of the Bedford avenue station distinguished
himself this morning at a fire in the double deck tenement at 255
Wythe avenue. He carried out several of the inmates of the house
through the dense smoke and flames and in so doing nearly lost his
own life. When he made his last trip into the house he sank
exhausted and had to be carried to the street by two brother officers.
	The blaze started under the floor on the third story, near a
bathroom. It is believed to have been caused by the gnawing of mice
at matches, which they had carried through a small hole.
	Thomas BRADLEY and his wife live on this floor with their five small
children. When the fire started the smoke penetrated into the rooms
where the BRADLEY family were asleep and awakened BRADLEY.
	Bradley crawled on his hands and knees to the front window and
raised the alarm. As he reached the window Officer WRIGHTMAN hove in
sight. He saw the smoke coming from the windows and lost no time in
turning in an alarm, He then returned to the house, smashed down the
door and fought his way though the dense smoke to the BRADLEY
apartment, where he found the family semi-conscious.
	WRIGHTMAN picked up Mrs. BRADLEY on his shoulder and taking two of the
children by the arms, he started down the stairs. After getting them
safely down the stairs, he returned and took the remainder of the
family to the sidewalk.
	Although he was badly scorched and almost unconscious from the
smoke, WRIGHTMAN pluckily returned to the house and was beginning to
make his third trip upstairs when he sank unconscious.
	Someone told Sergeants KENMORE and ADAMS that the policeman was in
the house and they went after him. WRIGHTMAN was found lying on the
stairs. After carrying him to the street, KENMORE and ADAMS returned
to the burning house and helped in rescuing the families of Thomas
CONROY and James COOPER, all of whom were more or less affected by
the smoke.
	The entire flooring had to be ripped up in order to get at the
flames and the firemen worked under great difficulties owing to the
dense smoke. The flames were finally extinguished at a loss of about $1,000.
WRIGHTMAN was attended by an ambulance surgeon, who revived him and
took him to his home.

SAYS DETECTIVE PUT STOLEN BAG IN HER ROOM
Viola HAZEL, colored, living at 268 Navy street, was asked today by
Magistrate DOOLEY in the Adams street court how a handbag belonging
to Andrew LEWIS of Bay Tenth street got into her room if she did not
put it there.
"He put it in my room hisself," said the young woman, pointing to
Detective BURNS who (had) arrested her.
The young woman's room was searched while she was in jail as a
suspect and the bag (was) found there. She was held for Special Sessions.

WOMAN WHO ATTEMPTED SUICIDE MAY BE INSANE
With a firm stride and a defiant manner, Jane HARVEY, 73 years old,
of 1900 Atlantic avenue, who attempted to end her life on May 17 by

sent to the Kings County Hospital, where her mental condition may be
looked into.

7 June 1907
CASHIER O'DONOHUE MADE RECORD IN OFFICE
A remarkable record was made by Michael J. O'DONOHUE, who died
recently in the Water Registar's office. The commissioner of
accounts has finished an inspection of O'DONOHUE'S books and finds
that the latter's accounts tallied to a penny. He had held the
position of cashier for a period of twenty years and handled
annually from $1,500,000 to $2,000,000.

ITALIANS DUEL NOT WITH KNIVES BUT WITH HODS
	Two Italian hod carriers at work on a building on Pearl street near
Myrtle avenue quarreled on the street today and started to punch
each other.   Mounted policeman MARSHALL, who saw the crowd
gathering, got to the scene just in time to prevent a tragedy.
	Both men stopped fighting with their fists and, in their rage,
started in to use their hods as weapons.   By the time Officer
MARSHALL reached them they were both bleeding profusely. Lombardo
CASTINTINO had a wound in his scalp which required a dozen stitches.
	Despite the fact that Officer MARSHALL saw the blow struck, Rosario
SAN PEDRO, who assaulted CASTINTINO, insisted that the latter
received his injury by falling on a pile of brlcks. SAN PEDRO
received only a few scratches.
	After the surrgeon had dressed their wounds they were taken to the Adams
street court and held on a charge ot fighting, CASTINTINO refusing
to make a complaint of assault against SAN PEDRO.

CARL RABEN ACCUSED OF STEALING VIOLIN
	Carl RABEN, 27 years old, a musician who gave his address as 547
Fifty-eighth street, was arrested at Irvington-On-The-Hudson and
locked up at police headquarters, charged with the theft of a violin
valued at $250. The complainant in the case is Victor S. FLETCHER, a
dealer in musical instruments at 23 Union Square, Manhattan, who
lives at 251 West Ninety-fifth street, Manhattan. According to the
warrant the violin was stolen on March 22 last.
	FLETCHER has figured before in the case of a stolen violin, that of
the Stradivarius stolen from Prof. Jean BOTT's widow on March 31,1894.
	FLETCHER says that RABEN came to his music store on March 22 and
borrowed a violin with the understanding that he was to report with
it once each week. After two weeks, RABEN, whom FLETCHER describes
as a concert player, quit coming and FLETCHER got out a warrant.
Yesterday Detective O'BRIEN told him the violinist was found to have
in his possession various properties belonging to people in
Irvington. As to the instrument he borrowed from FLETCHER, RABEN
said that he had pawned it, but that it could be recovered. The
violin is an imitation Magini, FLETCHER said. He doubted whether he
would appear against RABEN.

FOUR HURT IN CRASH ON GRAVESEND AVENUE
	Caught in the crash of two B.R.T. trolley cars at Gravesend avenue
and Avenue C last night, four passengers were injured, one so
seriously she may die. Trolley traffic to and from Coney Island was
interfered with seriously because one of the cars was thrown from
the tracks.	
	The passenger most seriously injured was Mrs. Rudolph RUBENSTEIN, of
294 Fenimore street. It is believed she suffered internal injuries.
Her daughter, Frances, received less serious injuries, as did Mrs.
J. BOLTON of 481 Seventeenth street.
	Waiting for an "L" train to pass on surface tracks at Kensington
Junction, a Lorimer and Tompkins avenue car was standing at
Gravesend avenue and Avenue C. It was filled with passengers.
Without the least warning a Vanderbilt avenue car crashed into the
rear of the standing car with such force that the passengers in the
forward car were hurled from their seats and the car forced off the rails.
	Reserves were rushed to the scene from the Parkville police station
and surgeons and ambulances were sent from the Kings County Hospital
to care for the wounded.

INSANE MOTHER THROWS BABY OUT OF WINDOW
Mrs. Lena BECK, 27 years old, wife of Charles BECK, a Coney Island
hack driver, became violently insane last night and tossed her
fifteen-month-old daughter Florence out of the second story window.
Mrs. Lizzie HOGAN, a neighbor, heard the woman's screams and saw the
child falling. She ran forward in time to catch the infant, which
escaped harm. Mrs. BECK had been a patient at the King's Park
Hospital suffering from insanity, but was sent home several days ago
owing to her apparent recovery. She was removed to the King's County Hospital.

WON'T PROMISE NOT TO TRY SUICIDE ONCE MORE
	"She tells me that she will try to kill herself again when she gets
the opportunity, exclaimed Mrs. TIETGEN, probation officer, at the
Gates avenue court today, when Josephine KANE, who attempted to
commit suicide by inhaling gas Tuesday afternoon, was brought before
Magistate FURLONG.
	Mrs. Julia KANE, mother of the girl, who had come from Millville,
N.J., said the girl had been acting queerly for over a year. She had
come to Brooklyn, where she lived with her aunt and uncle at 34
Eidert street.
	When the girl was asked why she did not return home, she burst into
tears and said: "I do not want to go home. Everybody treats me mean.
My mother and aunt are both terrible."
	Magistrate FURLONG asked her if she intended to commit suicide
again, and she, stil sobbing, exclaimed: "I don't want to die, but I
can't get work."
	The kindly old mother and pleasant faced aunt buried their faces in
their handkerchiefs and wept bitterly as the magistrate ordered the
girl taken to the Kings County Hospital, where her mental condition
may be looked into. She will be brought back to court again on next Friday.

An unusual marriage ceremony was performed at Luna Park yesterday
afternoon. The contracting parties were Anna SNYDER, cashier in one

SHOT BY SPECIAL OFFICER, MAY DIE FROM INJURY
John COOPER, 17 years old, of 5013 Third avenue, is in Norwegian
Hospital suffering from a dangerous bullet wound in the back. Peter
D. FAGIN, of 269 Congress street, is under arrest for the shooting.
FAGIN is a special policeman doing duty at the B.R.T. yards at
Fifty-second street and Third avenue. Last night he gave chase to
three youths who were prowling around the yards. He fired his
revolver to frighten the youths into surrender, he says, but one
bullet found lodgment in COOPER's back and brought him down.

SERIOUSLY BURNED BY LIVE ELECTRIC WIRE
	Badly burned about the arms and body and suffering from shock,
Martin KELLY, 27 years old, of  317 (or 817) W. 58th street,
Manhattan, and Charles SCHWARTZ, 28 years old, of 17 Fourth street,
were taken to Brooklyn Hospital yesterday afternoon after both had
narrowly escaped death in the basement of the power plant of the
Edison Electric Illuminating Company at the foot of  Gold street.
	Only the coolness of SCHWARTZ save KELLY from being killed, but in
rescuing his fellow workman he took his own life in his hands and
was burned. The men were on  a scaffold close to the ceiling when
KELLY took  hold of a  live wire and his body caused a short
circuit.  He was unable to release his hold on the wire and his body
was writhing in pain as the current passed through him.  SCHWARTZ
caught him and although badly burned succeeded in breaking his grip
on the wire.  Then both fell unconscious from the scaffold.

PAINTER FATALLY HURT BY FALLING BRICK
	While William STARR, a painter, 28 years old, of 2128 Fulton street,
was painting the airshaft of his home yesterday afternoon, a brick
fell through the shaft and struck him on the head. He was removed to
the Bushwick Hospital by Ambulance Surgeon DALDOX, suffering from a
fractured skull, and his recovery is in doubt.
	Capt. REYNOLDS of the Brownsville station ordered an investigation
of the accident. He at first believed that someone had dropped the
brick through the airshaft purposely.

AN ANCESTRAL CENSUS
Director S.D.N. NORTH, of the census announces early publication of
the returns of heads of families in the first Census of the United
States (1790) , for New Hampshire Vermont and Maryland, 150 pages on
laid antique paper in durable and semi-pamphlet binding with a
frontispiece, 11x17 inches, of a state map from an atlas of 1796,
and offered to the public at $1 for each state.  Returns for six of
the seventeen states whose inhabitants were numbered in the first
census were destroyed when the British burned the Capitol at
Washington during the War of 1812, and no appropriation beyond the
fiscal year has been made for further publication of records of
heads of families.  President Washington signed on March 1, 1790,
the act providing for the first census, which was printed Oct.  27,
1791, in a volume of 56 pages, that of the twelfth census in 1900
requiring ten large quarto volumes, in all 10,400 pages.

MOTHER SAVES BABE AS BOAT TIPS OVER
	Maternal instinct and courage saved Mrs. Joseph ZOELLER of 408
Suydam street and her seven-month-old baby, KATHERINE,  from watery
graves at Canarsie yesterday afternoon. The ZOELLERs,  father,
mother and little daughter, went out on Jamaica Bay for a sail.
Lawrence MAIXNER and Barbara GELS, friends of the ZOELLER family,
accompanied them.  When it came time to disembark, ZOELLER climbed
out first and held the boat for the rest of the party.  Mrs. ZOELLER
and her baby remained in the boat until the others had landed.
	As she arose with the baby in her arms, Mrs. ZOELLER, who is a large
woman, lost her balance.  The  boat tipped back and forth but she
kept her head.  Realizing that she must go overboard herself, she
made a supreme effort and tossed the baby about seven feet to one of
the party on shore.
	Her action upset the boat and in a second she was struggling in the
water.  Her husband grabbed her when she rose to the surface and
others aided him in getting  her ashore.

LONG LIST OF MISSING ONES WAS REPORTED TO POLICE
	Capt. McLARREN of the Long Island Railroad reported today to police

NEGRO CHARGED WITH STABBING NEGRESS HELD

WINDOW WASHERS FALL OUT AND ONE IS ARRESTED
Jacob BLAM of 640 Warren street was charged in the Adams Street
Court today with committing an assault on Samuel O'DEFF, of 143
Fourth avenue.  BLAM told policemen who arrested him on a warrant
that the trouble grew out of questions of who should wash the
windows of a Fulton street store.  The hearing was adjourned until Monday.

(???) GIRL HE COURTED
	It was said at St. Catherine's Hospital today that Frank FARELLA of
207 Wallabout street, who was shot in the abdomen early this morning
in Marcy Avenue between Hopkins and Ellery street by Nicola
NARCONA,* of 480 Marcy Avenue, was in a serious condition and would
probably die.
	Incidental to the shooting, the police learned that Mrs. Lena
Friedman, of 469 Wallabout street, was shot in the right leg by a
stray bullet.  It was feared today by the doctors who were attending
her that blood poison may  set in.
	Detectives who have been working on the case learned that the
shooting was caused by the persistent attention  shown the pretty
18-year-old sister of ZARCONA.  FARELLA called last night at
ZARCONA's and was given to understand that he would have to cease
paying attention to the girl.  This caused the quarrel which
resulted in ZARCONA whipping out a .38-caliber revolver and firing
three times at FARELLA.
	At the time of the shooting the FRIEDMAN woman was passing.  One of
the bullets hit her in the fleshy part of the leg and she was
attended by a private physician, who took her home.  ZARCONA was
arrested and taken to the Vernon avenue station, and this morning in
the Lee avenue court Magistrate HIGGINBOTHAM held him to await the
results of FARELLA's injuries.
(* Narcona/Zarcona, two spellings, as printed.)

yesterday morning. She gave her address as Broadway and Marcy
avenues.

Some time during the early hours of this morning a thief with a
refined thirst smashed one of the windows of Charrot & Henry's
wholesale liquor store at 571 Atlantic and 118 Flatbush avenue and
stole several bottles of choice whiskey.

was crossing the Hamburg avenue car tracks at Pacific street and
Rockaway avenue yesterday afternoon, he was struck and knocked down
by car No. 2394 of the Hamburg avenue line, in charge of Motorman
John ROONEY. He was taken to the Brownsville station and attended by
Ambulance Surgeon JOHNSON of the Bradford Street Hospital, who later
removed him to that institution suffering from serious internal
injuries. The boy was on his way home when struck by the fender of
the car and barely escaped being run over.

WOMAN SERIOUSLY HURT LEAVING BATHS
Mrs. Lena MOSER, 43 years old, of 373 Blake avenue, was removed to

	Peter D. FAGAN, a special officer of the B.R.T., who lives at 209
Congress street, was held in $100 bail for examination in the Butler
street court yesterday on a charge of felonious assault. It is
alleged that FAGAN shot John COOPER, 17 years old, of 5103 Fourth
avenue, Friday night in the power house of the B.R.T., at First
avenue and Fifty-second street.

10 June 1907
WINDOW JUMPERS NABBED AT CONEY
More than one hundred thousand persons were at Coney Island
yesterday. Although the Brooklyn Rapid Transit and the Coney Island
and Brooklyn line put into service all their available cars they had
much difficulty in handling the crowds.
Before the homeward rush had fairly started fifteen arrests of
"window jumpers" had been made.
Traffic on the Brighton Beach Division was held up for more than
half an hour late in the afternoon when a telegraph pole toppled
over the tracks in Neptune avenue.

Hyman WACKER, 16 years old, of 71 Berry street, walked into the
Reception Hospital last night and complained of pain in his right
arm. Dr. HOLTHAUSEN discovered that the youth was suffering from a
bad fracture. WACKER explained that he had fallen in a roller
skating rink and had walked about a half mile to learn the extent of
his injuries.

John DEMPSEY, 83 years old, of Gravesend, was walking in West
Fifteenth street when a brick struck him on the head. At the
Reception Hospital physicians found that he had a fractured skull.

TRIO OF BOYS DENY THEY STOLE WIRE
As a result of the large number robberies of wire and metal from the
power house of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company at First avenue
and Fifty-eighth street, Peter D. FAGAN, a special policeman,
yesterday arrested three boys on suspicion that they had been
implicated in some of the thefts. At the Fourth avenue station
house, the prisoners said they were William COSTELLO, 14 years old,
5,606 Third avenue; Christopher ROSMAN, 17 years old, 261
Forty-first street; and John COOPER, 17 years old, 5,013 Third
avenue. The three denied they had stolen anything from the power house.

LITTLE ONE, PLAYING IN STREET, IS RUN OVER
Three-year-old Adrian SCHULTZ, whose parents reside at 160
Nineteenth street, was knocked down and run over yesterday in the
street near his home by a horse and buggy owned and driven by John
FLANIGAN of 415 Eighteenth street. The child sustained lacerations
of the limbs and general contusions. He was attended at home by Dr.
GREENE of Seney Hospital.

THIRTY-ONE OUNCE BABY REPOSES IN INCUBATOR
Dr. C.F. YEERDON won a race against death yesterday, when he sped to
Coney Island in an automobile, in which reposed the infant of Mrs.
Charles J. CLARKE of 91 Hull street. The infant, weighing 31 ounces,
arrived at the CLARKE home yesterday morning and Dr. YEERDON said
its only chance at life rested on its immediate removal to the
Dreamland incubators.
"He has a chance for his life if we can get him to the incubator,"
said the physician, as he passed the burden to his wife, who was
with him, and threw on full speed on the machine.
Physicians are hopeful for the infant's life if it survives during
the next twenty-four hours.

LEAVES BLOOMINGDALE BROS. AFTER 28 YEARS' SERVICE
Nobody in this city probably is better acquainted with the birth,
growth and development of the indispensable infant wear department
than was the subject of this sketch, Mrs. Mary E. FAIRBROTHER, who
after twenty-eight years of service with one firm, Bloomingdale
Bros., Fifty-ninth street and Third avenue, Manhattan, retires to
enjoy the fruits of her labors in peace, comfort and plenty for the
remainder of her span of life.
	Mrs. FAIRBROTHER entered the employ of Messrs. BLOOMINGDALE Bros. in
1879, when that store was a very modest affair indeed, located at
the corner of Fifty-sixth street and Third avenue.
	She came to them from the old and in those days popular firm of
Wallah & MacSorley, of Grand street, the great shopping district of
the time. This firm has long since passed out of existence. She
assumed charge, with some assistance, of the department of women's

Child Killed and Seven Persons Injured
Near St. Michael's Cemetery in Astoria
CARRIAGE HAD NO LIGHTS
	Manhattan Party Was Returning From Outing at North Beach
A child was killed and several others hurt this morning when a
trolley car on the Ninety-second Street Ferry and North Beach line
in Astoria, Queens, ran into a two-seated surrey on Flushing street,
between Old Bowery Bay road and Ehret avenue, near St. Michael's
Cemetery.
	The child killed was Elizabeth CLARK, 18 months old, daughter of
Patrick CLARK of 305 East Twenty-eighth street, Manhattan. Mr. CLARK
was driving the surrey in which he had taken a party out for an
outing. He was driving from North Beach to the ferry when the car
going in the same direction came up behind and hit the surrey. It is
said the surrey carried no lights and that the headlight on the car
was out of order and not burning.
	All of the party were thrown out when the carriage was hit. The
child is suspected to have struck on her head. Her neck was broken
and she was dead when picked up.
	The others injured were: 
Elizabeth GAW, 31 years old, of 247 Seventh avenue, Long Island City, 
	face cut, right kneecap broken; 
Bridget CLARK, 39 years old, mother of the child killed, face cut and
	bruised, elbow lacerated and arm torn; 
Agnes GILFOYLE, 7 years old,
	bruises and lacerations; 
Robert GAW, age 3, shock; 
John GAW, age 7, broken left arm; 
Patrick CLARK, age 39, bruised and lacerated face;
Ellen BULMER, 37 years, of 524 West Forty-fourth street, Manhattan,
	lacerated nose and contused hip.
Miss BULMER was on the trolley car. John GAW was taken to St. John's
Hospital. The others were sent home.
	The motorman of the car was Peter CONROY, of 820 West Twenty-sixth
street, Manhattan. He was arrested, as was Dan CHRISTIE, the
conductor. Bail was furnished for them by the company.

M'GARRY TELLS HOW HE WAS SHOT BY PADOVANO
	A bloodstained policeman's dress coat was in evidence today in the
Adams street court, when Sergeant McCARRY (as printed) told a
graphic story of how he was shot three times by Alphonso PADOVANO on
the morning of Oct. 22 last, whom he was attempting to arrest.
	McGARRY said he had suspected that a burglary was being committed in
a drug store on Kingston avenue, near Degraw street. PADOVANO came
to the place in a wagon and on seeing the officer started his horse.
McGARRY jumped on the rear of the wagon. PADOVANO turned around and
fired three shots in rapid succession. One took effect in McGARRY's
cheek and tore away several teeth; another took effect in his arm
and a third in the scalp. McGARRY swore that he was within two feet
of PADOVANO when the shots were fired and he fell to the street. He
was in the hospital several weeks. He got a good look at his
assailant before he became unconscious.
	McGARRY was positive in his identification of the prisoner. He said
that when PADOVANO was arrested he identified him, although he had
an alpine hat on, but when a cloth cap was placed on the prisoner's
head he was still more positive.
PADOVANO was held for the action of the Grand Jury.

HIS LOVE SCORNED, HE THREW ACID ON GIRL
Alice MOORE, a colored woman living at 12 Fleet street, appeared at
the desk in Adams street station and displayed a tastefully trimmed
child's silk dress dotted with holes burnt in by vitriol. Miss MOORE
said the vitriol had been intended for her face.
The fluid had been thrown last Thursday, she said, by a colored man
whom she had refused to marry. His aim was poor and the acid struck
the dress of a girl who had just stepped out of the anniversary day
parade. Miss MOORE was advised to bring in the owner of the dress to
make a complaint.

HIGHWAYMEN TOOK COAT WHEN COULDN'T GET CASH
Held up on the sidewalk at Pearl and Willoughby streets yesterday
morning, Bernard McAVOY, 35 years old, of 145 Ashland place, was
relieved of his light top coat by two highwaymen whose demands for
money he had refused. He reported his experience at the Adams street
station, causing the arrest of Frank O'BRIEN, 16, of 112 Lawrence
street, and Frank MASON, 17, of 57 Tillary street.

TURNED ON THE GAS WHEN HE TOOK A NAP
Powell LIETCZMANN, 32 years old, a bartender, of 112 Wyona street,
turned on the gas when he went to his room for a Sunday afternoon
nap, and it took hard work on the part of Ambulance Surgeon BROWN,
of Bradford Street Hospital, to wake him up some hours later.

REAL ESTATE MAN HELD FOR SPEEDING HIS AUTO
Samuel Levett SWETT, of 358 West Fifty-eighth street, Manhattan, was
arrested last night by Bicycle Policeman VAN CLEFF, of the Gates

at a rate of twenty-five miles an hour. In the Myrtle avenue court
this morning, SWETT said that he was a real estate dealer at
Huntington. Magistrate NAUMER held him for Special Sessions.

SLEUTHS ROUND UP BUNCH OF ALLEGED PICKPOCKETS
Five young men, who are said by the police to be professional
pickpockets, were taken to the Adams street court today by
Detectives DUANE, GLOSTER, McCLOSKEY, O'CONNOR and VACCHIS on a
technical charge of vagrancy. Magistrate DOOLEY told the detectives
to make charges of section 675 of the penal code, as they were found
jostling passengers on the platforms of cars. The prisoners are
George MORRIS, Charles MILLER, Charles COHEN, William LEWIS and
James GILLIGAN. They were each held in $500 bail until Wednesday.

NAVY YARD CLERK WINS PROMOTION
Charles L. EASTWOOD was appointed cost clerk in the steam

The appointment was made from Washington at the recommendation of
Chief Clerk Frank MERRITT and Lieut.-Commander HALL, head of the
department.
Mr. EASTWOOD has been in the department for five years. He comes
from Syracuse.

COULDN'T REMEMBER FIRST FIGHT IN TWENTY YEARS
Mounted officer KELLY found August ANDERSON, 48 years old, and
Morris KLEINFELD, of 1(?)0 Hinsdale street, clawing and pounding
each other before a large and appreciative audience yesterday
afternoon. He arrested ANDERSON on KLEINFELD's complaint. ANDERSON
was very much put out in the Gates avenue court today. He didn't
know whether he was guilty or not, for he couldn't remember
fighting. One thing he was sure of, and that was that he had lived
in that neighborhood for twenty years and had never been in a fight
before.
"I leave it to you, judge," he exclaimed. "This man got the best of
me in the fight. Here is a suit worth $22. He got the best of me
then and he wants to get the best of me in the court."
He was held in $500 bail for examination and Magistrate FURLONG
suggested that he secure a lawyer.

WILL POSTPONE HONEYMOON TILL LATER IN SUMMER
At American Star Hall, Christopher and Pitkin avenues, last night,
Miss Slima SOFLOWSKY, of 572 Blake avenue, was married to Jacob
DOOFMAN. The ceremony, which was performed by Rabbi SOLOMAN (as
printed), of Manhattan, was attended by several hundred guests. The
couple are well known in Brownsville and East New York. The ceremony
was followed by a reception and banquet, and a most enjoyable
evening was indulged in by those present. The bride was attended by
Miss. Jennie ORTENSKY, while the best man was Samuel SOFLOWSKY. Mr.
and Mrs. DOOFMAN will take up their home at 177 Osborn street. They
have decided to postpone their honeymoon until during the summer
months when they will spend several weeks in Sullivan County.

MISS OLIVE SEIDERMAN BRIDE OF A.A. CANTOR
In the Temple Bikur Cholim, Wyona street and Atlantic avenue, the
wedding of Miss Bertha Olive SEIDERMAN to A. Aaron CANTOR was
solemnized last night. The temple was crowded to its utmost capacity
by relatives and friends of the young couple. The ceremony was
performed by the Rev. Dr. Daniel LEVIN, a brother-in-law of the
bridegroom. After the ceremony, the guests adjourned to the Knights
of Pythias Temple, 432 Hopkinson avenue.
The bridesmaids were:
Miss Cecilia BARNETT
Miss Sadie S. BLACK
Miss Ella CANTOR
Miss Gertrude BLOCK
Miss Lillian RATNER
Miss Cecilia SEIDERMAN

GIRL 18 YEARS OLD ADOPTED TRAMP LIFE.
Mary TROSCH, 18 years old, a domestic recently employed at 135 
Seventeenth street, was sent to the House of the Good Shepherd by 
Magistrate GEISMAR in the Butler street court to-day to stay there 
until she is 21 years old.  She was arrested by Detective LYNCY, of the 
Fourth avenue station, last night in Coney Island.  LYNCH had been 
searching for her for nearly a week.
	Last Saturday night the TROSCH girl disappeared, taking with her 
Pauline LAMBERSON,  of 1514 Third avenue.  In the wanderings the girl 
and her companion, who is only a child, slept on doorsteps and parks in 
Printing House square, Manhattan; Coney Island, Fort Hamilton and Ulmer 
Park.  When asked by Magistrate GEISMAR why she had taken the child 
with her she said that there was no reason except that the child had 
asked to go with her.

BURNING RAGS QUICKLY EMPTY TENEMENT HOUSE.
The tenants of the three-story frame tenement at 1428 DeKalb avenue 
were aroused from their beds by the smell of smoke early this morning.  
Heavy fumes filled the entire house, and the six families hastened to 
the street.  Firemen found that the excitement was caused by a pile of 
rags burning in the cellar.  Nobody was hurt, and within a half hour 
everybody had returned to their beds.
The damage was estimated at $100.

SAYS HE WAS HELD UP BY COLORED WOMEN
Mamie HORTON,  a negress, with rolling bright eyes, was held in $1,000 
bail by Magistrate DOOLEY to-day on a charge of robbery.  Yohn YOHNSON, 
a Swede, living at 936 Fourth avenue, says he was waylaid by two 
colored women while walking along Hudson avenue and forcibly dragged 
into the hallway of 435.  One of the women held him while the other 
went through his pockets and stole $42.
Policeman KAVANAUGH, of the Adams street station, arrested Mamie on the 
Swede's complaint.  He could not identify the other woman.

11 June 1907
SEARCHED THE WOODS FOR MISSING SON
	While his wife, Eiglie was being attended by a surgeon from the
Norwegian Hospital, Louis SCHWARTZ, a butcher of 1303 Fortieth
street, was scouring the open country between Borough Park and
Kensington at 12:30 o'clock this morning, with a lantern as a
searchlight, looking for his 4�-year-old son, Solly, whom he
tearfully told a Standard Union reporter was kidnapped. Friends and
relatives of the butcher were helping him in his search, and cellars
of buildings in course of construction, and there are many in the
vicinity of Mr. SCHWARTZ's home, were looked into for the missing
child. The police of the Seventy-second Precinct joined in the
search and also sent out a general alarm.
	As SCHWARTZ returned tearfully to his home, his wife, who had just
come back to consciousness under the surgeon's treatment, asked,
"Have you got Solly?" When her husband shook his head, she gave vent
to an hysterical shriek and lost her senses again. The medical men
worked over her for fully an hour and brought her back to
consciousness again. He was about to take her to the hospital when a
policeman entered the house and said to the almost-crazed father,
"Your boy was found in the woods off Fort Hamilton avenue and is now
in the police station at Forty-third street and Fourth avenue."
	SCHWARTZ and three of his relatives dashed out of the house and ran
down Thirty-ninth street until a Church avenue car overtook them and
carried them to the corner of Thirty-ninth street and Fourth avenue,
where they alighted and hurried to the police station.
	When the father saw his boy he became hysterical and had to be
quieted by Capt. DeVANNY, who was in the station at the time and
heard the child's story. The captain said: "My man got the boy
beside the little woods at Forty-ninth street and Tenth avenue, The
child was crying and shaking with fear. He gave his name but could
not tell where he lived. He said a boy caught him by the hand and
led him from his home, and when some distance away chased him with a
stick into the woods and left him there."
	The boy told a similar story to his father, who when his excitement
had abated, took his child home. Mrs. SCHWARTZ was overjoyed to see
her little son.
	Louis SCHWARTZ says he is going to make a charge in the Children's
Court against the lad who is accused of having forced his child to
go away from his home.

TRUANT OFFICERS THUMPED BY ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD
Mistaken for kidnapers when they arrested 14-year-old Edward
GOODKOSS, said to be a chronic "hooky player," Truant Officers
William H. BURCK and Timothy DONOVAN got a sound trouncing yesterday
afternoon. They made the arrest at the boy's home, 305 Thatford
avenue. Though handcuffed, the boy put up a fight in the street.
Some of his playmates set up the cry of "Black Hand" and the entire
neighborhood, men, women, children and unlicensed dogs set upon the
officers and what was done to them certainly was a plenty. Policemen
rescued the Board of Education men, but the boy escaped and was not
caught until late in the evening.

GIRL SAVES BABY BROTHER AT FIRE
Six-Year-Old Returns for Infant Left in Burning Factory in Manhattan
POLICEMAN BADLY BURNED
Nearly Loses Life Leading Rescue of Sleeping Watchman
	Patrolman James O'CONNOR of the Mulberry street station nearly lost
his life in an early morning blaze today in the five-story factory
building at 63-65 Elizabeth street, Manhattan. While leading in the
work of rescuing the watchman in the pace he was hemmed in by flame
and rescued, only after considerable difficulty, by firemen.
	The fire was discovered by O'CONNOR, who saw the reflection of the
flames in a glass opposite the factory. He rushed into the hallway,
filled with smoke, and on the third floor of No. 63 he found
watchman Daniel SCHURMAN and his wife and their two children, Ida, 6
years old, and Simon, 4 months old. Another policeman turned in an
alarm, but when the engines arrived no one had been brought out of
the building.
	In a few minutes O'CONNOR appeared on the fire escape and shouted to
run up ladders, which was done. Mrs. SCHURMAN, who is an invalid,
was brought down. The baby had been forgotten in the scramble for
safety, but Ida sprang back into the window and brought her brother
out. He was carried to the street by a fireman.
	After this rescue, O'CONNOR ran over to No. 65, where on the fifth
floor he found two watchmen sleeping. After awakening them he found
the flames were cutting off his escape, but the firemen came to his
aid and both men were brought out in safety. Later, O'CONNOR was
carried out.
	The second alarm brought Chief CROKER. The damage was placed at
$5,000, most of which was suffered by the Rotham Company,
manufacturers of gables.

DR. J. DOUGLAS ADAM WILL LEAVE BROOKLYN
The Rev. Dr. J. Douglas ADAM, pastor of the Reformed Church of the
Heights, announced to his congregation Sunday he would hand in his
resignation previous to his sailing for Europe next week. The
principal reason given by Dr. ADAM was that his family would be
benefited by a somewhat extended change. He also said the committee
of another church had asked him if he would consider an offer from
them beginning with the first of the year. Dr. ADAM said that he had
not definitely decided to accept the call.
	When seen, Dr. ADAM said his relations with the church had been most
cordial. He had not presented his resignation to the consistory as
yet, he said. Another member of the church said the resignation
probably would not be accepted.

BOY THROWN FROM WAGON AND SEVERELY INJURED
Morris KAPLAN, 13 years old, was driving an express wagon owned by
Charles KATZ of 24(1?) Christopher avenue, through Pitkin avenue
yesterday afternoon when the horses made a sudden start at Osborn
street, throwing him to the street. The boy was picked up by a
passerby and removed to a nearby store, where he was attended by
Ambulance Surgeon McMURRAY of St. Mary's Hospital, who pronounced
him suffering a fracture of the right leg and internal injuries.
After having his injuries dressed he was taken to his home by
friends. The horse and wagon were taken to the Brownsville station,
where they were later claimed by the owner.

FIRE CHIEF RECOVERS FROM PECULIAR ACCIDENT
Battalion Chief John J. DONOHUE returned yesterday afternoon to his
duties at the Watkins street firehouse after being on the sick list
for the last three months. Chief DONOHUE, one of the most prominent
members of the New York Fire Department, while going up a ladder at
a fire on Christopher near Dumont avenue last March, got a splinter
in his right hand. He paid no attention to the matter until the
evening came and the pain became so intense that he visited the
family physician, who declared blood poisoning had set in and that
he would have to undergo an operation. He was taken to St. Mary's
Hospital where he was successfully operated on by Dr. SULLIVAN. He
remained in the hospital for three weeks after the operation was
performed, after which he took a trip to the mountains.

12 June 1907
MYSTERIOUS SHOOTING IS FOLLOWED BY ONE ARREST
While Vincent DEFALCO, an Italian laborer, 25 years old, of 1726
Pacific street, was standing on the southwest corner of Stone avenue
and Dean street early last evening, he was shot in the forearm by
some unknown person. He was taken to the Brownsville station where
he was attended by Ambulance Surgeon BROWN of the Bradford Street
Hospital, who, after dressing his injuries, removed him to his home.
	Shortly after DEFALCO was shot Patrolman Thomas MEARS, of the
Brownsville station, while patrolling his post, saw Felicio
ONTARF(?), 23 years old, of 46 Powell street, flourishing a revolver
on the corner of Stone avenue and Dean street, opposite to where
DEFALCO was shot. When the Italian saw MEARS he dashed down Stone
avenue. MEARS took up the chase and at Atlantic and Stone avenues
placed the man under arrest. When taken to the Brownsville station,
Felicio did not have the revolver in his possession and declared
that he did not have a revolver when MEARS saw him, but said that he
was running in an effort to catch up to a friend who was walking
down Stone avenue. After the prisoner was locked up on a charge of
disorderly conduct  Officer MEARS returned to Stone avenue and
searched almost every nook and corner in an effort to find the gun,
but to no avail.

WOMAN HELD IN CONEY ISLAND HOTEL RAID
Annie LEVY, whose Spanish Hotel on Ocean Walk, Coney Island, was
raided last night, was yesterday held for trial at Special Sessions
by Magistrate VOORHEES in the Coney Island Court. Eight other women
who were arrested at the time were discharged.
	Mezzarino d'AMBROSIO, whose hotel on West Fifteenth street was
raided some time ago, was discharged, the court finding the evidence
was insufficient. The police were disappointed at the decision and a
remark by one of them drew a retort from Assistant District Attorney
White, "That if he didn't like the way things were going, he could
complain to Commissioner BINGHAM."

DANGEROUS TO SHOOT IN THE SUMMER TIME
Mrs. John OBERLE, whose husband runs a hotel on Surf avenue, Coney
Island, and who was arrested some time ago for firing a revolver
from the balcony of the hotel, was discharged by Magistrate VOORHEES
in the Coney Island Court. The magistrate held that while it might
be harmless to shoot when Coney Island is deserted in the winter, it
was quite another thing in the summer and warned the woman to be careful.

NEGRO HELD FOR ASSAULT ON RACE TRACK FOLLOWER
Chauncey STAPLE, 23 years old, a negro who said his home was on Neck
Road, Gravesend, was held for examination by Magistrate VOORHEES in
the Coney Island court on a charge of assaulting Jack DEMPSEY, a
negro employed by the Gravesend racetrack, with a rock. DEMPSEY is
now in the Reception Hospital with a fractured skull.

BURGLAR TAKES BIKE TO GET FROM LOOTED HOUSE
A valuable collection of old coins, $78 in cash and a three dollar
bill issued in 1777 was stolen from the residence of Richard M
PEZOLD , of 920 Sixty-fifth street, by unknown burglars, Monday
night, when a rear kitchen window was forced to gain an entrance to
the dining room. A bicycle with a green frame was carried off at the
same time from the lower hallway of the house. The three dollar bill
was valued at $50 as a specimen of Revolutionary currency.

OLD SHOES CAUSE BLOCK DURING RUSH HOURS
Had it not been for a pair of innocent looking shoes traffic last
evening on Greenpoint avenue would not have been held up for half an
hour and tired passengers returning from Manhattan offices would not
have said many wicked things about Greenpoint's only means of
transit.
	It happened about 7 o'clock when the boats from Manhattan are doing
their big business of the day, only to transfer their burdens to
cars at the foot of Greenpoint avenue. The boys of this part of
Brooklyn have never borne a reputation for being any more addicted
to mischievous habits than those of other parts, but their
brightness many times pops out in unexpected ways.
	While searching an ash barrel for things that might be of use to
them, two boys came across a pair of foot shields that had seen
better days. It was the work of but a few minutes to tie the shoes
together. While apparently starting with no real object in view, one
of the lad's fertile brain had hit upon something which he decided
would be immensely interesting, but the results far exceeded
expectations.
	A clever throw was sufficient to twine the shoes neatly about the
trolley wire, and then the young culprits retired to a safe distance
to view the results of their labors. A car of the Graham avenue line
came howling along at a good rate of speed when suddenly off went
the pole, and the conductor, busy on a heavy collecting tour, said a
few warm things and then adjusted it. Another and another followed
in the same way, no conductor having the ambition, apparently, to
climb upon the car and remove the cause of the trouble, although
quite a crowd had gathered by this time.
	Finally, a car of the Lorimer street line appeared with a
particularly cranky B.R.T. employee on the rear platform. When the
pole went off this individual made a vicious stab and out came the
pole, which in its descent struck a telegraph pillar and snapped
neatly in two.
	It took half an hour to get another, and the exclamations of the
passengers of the blocked cars were not suited for Sunday schools.

MAY LOSE EYE FROM BEING HIT WITH STONE
While Alfonzo ROSEKRELS, 19 years old, was on his way home from work
yesterday afternoon he was struck in the right eye by a stone thrown
by some unknown person at East New York avenue and Junius street.
Ambulance Surgeon BROWN of the Third Street Hospital, was summoned
and removed the young man to that institution, suffering from a
fracture of the right eye, which may be the cause of him losing his sight.

WORKMAN BADLY HURT BY SWINGING BEAM
Abraham SOLOMON, 20 years old, while working in the cellar of a
building in course of construction at East New York avenue and
Chester street, was struck on the head by a beam. Ambulance Surgeon
McMURRAY found a serious scalp wound and abrasions of the head.
After dressing SOLOMON's injuries he left him in the care of
friends, who later removed him to his home at 220 Suffolk street,Manhattan.

SAMARITAN HOSPITAL GIRLS GET DIPLOMAS
The graduating exercises of the training school for nurses attached
to the Samaritan Hospital were held at the Fifteenth Street Baptist
Church last night. Two young women received diplomas, Misses Jessie
Mill WALKER and Marie TORKILDSEN.
In his introductory remarks Dr. L.T. JACKMAN, chairman of the
committee of management, gave a short outline of the history of the
institution. It was six years, he said, since it was founded in a
small kitchen in the basement of the Fifteenth Street Baptist
Church. Now it has a building at Seventeenth street and Fourth
avenue, and a capacity of twenty-five patients, with a visiting
staff of twenty physicians. It has also a training school for nurses
and a dispensary. Since its inception, said Dr. JACKMAN, the
hospital has cared for 350 patients and has attended to 3,500 cases
in the dispensary work. The cost, he said, was upwards of $600 a month.

13 June 1907
KNOCKED GROCER DOWN AND TRIED TO ROB HIM
	After a chase of five blocks John BURKE, 22 years old, of 214 East
119th street, Manhattan, was caught by a crowd of persons who had
been attracted to the fugitive by the shouts of Charles BECKER, a
groceryman at 339 Sackman street. The prisoner went into BECKER's
store yesterday afternoon and, pretending that he was going to buy
something, reached over to the cash register, after felling BECKER
with a blow.
	L.J. EDLING, an inspector in the Water Department, held BURKE until

WOMAN SAYS DENTIST KING ANNOYED HER

a double charge of disorderly conduct and intoxication, the first
being preferred by Mrs. Blanche TIERNEY of 88 Herkimer street.
	According to Mrs. TIERNEY's story, Dr. KING had been annoying her
for some time with his attentions. Last night, she alleged, Dr. KING
insisted on walking her while she was promenading along Herkimer
street, and when she told him to leave her alone, he only became
more persistent. Mrs. TIERNEY went on to tell the court how Dr. KING
later tried to forcibly enter her home by breaking open the door and
annoying a man who boarded at the house.
	KING was arrested on a charge of intoxication by Policeman ARCHBOLD
of the Gates avenue station. When Mrs. TIERNEY heard that he was to
be brought up on the intoxication charge, she hastened to the court
room and made the complaint of disorderly conduct.
	Magistrate FURLONG held KING in $500 bail on the disorderly conduct
charge and in $100 bail on the intoxication charge.

JUST OUT OF ELMIRA
FENIMORE was taken before Capt. MURPHY, but he denied knowledge of
the holdup. He said he had been visiting friends and was running for
a car to take him home when he heard the pistol shots. He turned to
see what was the matter and in a minute the cop was upon him.
FENIMORE stuck to his story and refused to say anything further. He
was taken to police headquarters to be photographed, where Capt.
MURPHY learned he has a record. Only three months ago, FENIMORE came
out of Elmira on probation after serving sixteen months for assault.

ANOTHER HOLDUP
Another holdup which occurred last Sunday night came to light this
morning in the Manhattan avenue court, when two men, Charles
PFEIFFER, 21 years old, of 675 Harrisonn street and Otto DENINZER,
19 years old and homeless, were held for a hearing on a technical
charge of vagrancy. The two men are believed to know something about
a brutal assault made upon Philip SCHUMACHER of 11 St. Nicholas
avenue, who was held up late Sunday night at Cypress and DeKalb avenues.
	SCHUMACHER had been out in the Ridgewood section Sunday afternoon
and while on his way home he was held up by two men, brutally beaten
and robbed of $249. SCHUMACHER  was found by a watchman who took him
home, where he was attended by an ambulance surgeon and the police
were notified. Nothing was said of the holdup by the Hamburg avenue
police to reporters, and the first known of the affair was this
morning, when the prisoners were taken to court. SCHUMACHER
positively identified PFEIFFER
one of his assailants. Both were held for a further hearing.

ROBBERIES GALORE

Bedford avenue precinct, under the Williamsburg Bridge, but Capt.
CREAMER got busy and cleaned out the thugs. The police keep quiet 
about the robberies. There have been very few arrests.

suit of clothes, and the patrolman waited until he had made his
reappearance. He then spoke a few words and made him a prisoner
inside the pawn shop. He then questioned the pawn broker as to the
marks on the suit, after which he took his prisoner to the
Greenpoint station, where he gave his name as Albert SCHMERBACH of
189 Powers street.
	The clothes were traced to the tailor and then to the owner, who
proved to be Frank DOBBINS of 575 Hendrix street. DOBBINS said that

SALOONKEEPER THINKS SON IS KIDNAPED (as printed)
A general alarm was sent out this morning for 19-year-old Joseph
KALWEIT, the son of Gustave KALWEIT,  a well-to-do saloonkeeper of
494 Metropolitan avenue, who has been missing from his home under
strange circumstances since last Wednesday. When the boy was last
seen he had $100 in his pocket in addition to a diamond ring valued
at $160 and a gold watch and chain.
	The missing boy's home is in the heart of the Italian section, where
the Black Hand societies ply their trade, and it is the belief of
Mr. KALWEIT, Sr., that some of the leaders of the Mafia have gotten
his son in their possession.
	The last time the lad left his home he went to an ice cream store to
get a plate of ice cream. He promised to return home in half an hour.

FLAT HOUSE ROW MAY RESULT IN TRAGEDY
	There was a general mix-up between two families at 89 Pacific street
last night and today the head of the BRENNAN family is in jail and
the head of the MULHALL family is in the hospital with seven stab
wounds in the chest and back.
	The trouble started when Michael BRENNAN's 12-year-old son cut up
for firewood several beams which were in the cellar of the flat
where the two families live and which were the property of James
MULHALL. The latter told BRENNAN the elder when he met him in the
hallway last night that he would have to pay for the wood his son
had destroyed.
	A fight followed in which Michael MULHALL, MULHALL's wife, BRENNAN's
wife and boy, and Rose and Willie MULHALL all had a hand.
When the "smoke had rolled away" MULHALL was on the floor with seven
stab wounds in his chest , neck and face. One of the stabs had
narrowly escaped cutting the jugular vein.
	Patrolman McCORMICK of the Amity street station was attracted to the
hallway by the sounds of the conflict, and he placed BRENNAN under
arrest and summoned an ambulance surgeon to attend MULHALL, who was
rapidly losing consciousness from the steady flow of blood from his
wounds.
	Magistrate DOOLEY held BRENNAN in $1,000 bail on a charge of
felonious assault for examination on June 12 in the Butler street
court this morning.

confessed in the Coney Island court and after a reprimand from the

HOLTHUSEN attend to an injured negro. The woman, it is alleged,
interfered with the surgeon and he told her to move out of the way.
On her failure to obey he called Officer FLINT. When FLINT
remonstrated with Marie, it is asserted, she first rated him
roundly, then slapped him on the cheek.

THREW MOLTEN METAL IN FACE OF OPPONENT
	There was excitement and plenty of it in the factory of the
Greenpoint Metallic Bedstead Co. at Greene and Franklin streets
yesterday afternoon. Several hundred men are employed in the place
and quarrels between the workers are said to be frequent
occurrences. Over some petty affair words arose between Dominick
MANGUCO, 33 years old, of 411 Manhattan avenue, and Michael De ROCH,
35 years old, of 206 Jackson street.
	Without apparent warning and giving his victim no time to escape, De
ROCH seized a ladle of molten iron and threw it directly in the face
of MANGUCO, the metal streaming over his entire body. He fell
screaming to the floor. The frightened employes of the place were
too terrified to stop De ROCH, who made good his escape.
	Dr. SNYDER of the Eastern District Hospital took the man to his
home, where he is now lying in a dying condition. De ROCH is
supposed to have hidden himself with friends in the neighborhood,
and Detectives LAWLOR and STACK expect to land him before night.

ABSOLVES FRIEND WHOSE AUTO FATALLY INJURES HIM
Jones, Eye Torn Out, Back Probably Broken,
Gives Hand to Man Who Ran Him Down
TRAGIC MEETING OF COMRADES
Cronemeyer, Wealthy Silk Merchant,
Watches Over Man and Summons Fiancee
His arms and hands severely lacerated and his body partially
paralyzed as the result of having been knocked down and run over by
an automobile, Richard J. JONES, 22 years old, of 638 (or 658?) East
Twenty-fourth street, Manhattan, last evening lay on a cot of
torture and exonerated his friend who had run him down. That friend,
Carl CRONEMEYER, a silk merchant with offices at 1 Green St.,
Manhattan, and who lives at 578 East Twenty-first St., Flatbush,
stood at the bedside of the young man and pleaded for forgiveness.
"It's all right, old man," said the sufferer, smiling through his
pain, "You couldn't help it."
BETWIXT TWO PERILS
	The accident occurred at Avenue F and Ocean avenue where the Ocean
avenue cars turn in on their way to Sheepshead Bay. CRONEMEYER was
speeding his machine along the fine stretch of Ocean avenue when
JONES suddenly stepped in the pathway of the auto. At the moment an
Ocean avenue trolley car was rounding the curve from Avenue F into
Ocean avenue JONES was fairly caught and could scarcely hope to
escape being struck by one of the vehicles.
	Bewildered, the young man stepped back from the trolley car only to
place himself directly in the path of the fast-moving automobile
driven by CRONEMEYER. It struck him sharply and he fell under the
wheels.
	As soon as CRONEMEYER was able to bring the automobile to a stop he
jumped out and picked up the mangled form of young JONES. With a
shock he recognized his friend. Tenderly as a mother gathering up
her babe he picked up the body of his friend and placed it on the
tonneau of his machine. The car was rolled to the home of Dr. Albert
F. (E.?) GRIFFITHS at Avenue F and Ocean avenue and an investigation
was made to discover the extent of the injuries to the young man.
	JONES' knuckles were mangled, one of his eyes was found torn from
its socket and there were four ugly gashes on his head. Further
examination revealed that his spine had been seriously injured and
that in all probability his back was broken. Dr. GRIFFITHS, after a
consultation with Dr. FERRIS of Flatbush, decided that the best
thing to be done was to remove the young man to the private
sanitarium of Miss CHAPPELL at 673 East Twenty-third street. With
this in mind he called up the Flatbush police station, made a report
of the accident and requested the loan of a stretcher to remove the
paralyzed form of JONES to the sanitarium. He asserts his request
was curtly refused, and considerable delay, which intensified the
agony of the sufferer, was caused before he was gotten to the
sanitarium.
VICTIM EXONERATES ALL
	CRONEMEYER was almost broken-hearted over the accident. He and JONES
have been warm personal friends for years. He ordered that no pains
or expense be spared to render the young man comfortable and if
possible to effect a cure. At about 9 o'clock CRONEMEYER was
arrested by Patrolman George DAVIS on a charge of felonious assault.
The cop took him to the bedside of his friend for identification.
	JONES was having a bitter fight to retain his consciousness. But he
was able to smile and painfully extend his hand to the man whose
auto had run him down. He said that is was an accident and that was
all there was to it. He would not make any charge against his friend.
	In explaining the accident, JONES said weakly that CRONEMEYER had
properly slowed up his machine to allow him to pass and he would not
have been struck had he not jumped back to avoid the trolley car
just as CRONEMEYER had reset his high speed gear.
JONES was asked if he expected to live. Although his face was drawn
and twisted with pain he pluckily responded:
"I shall live for the sake of my mother and my sweetheart."
JONES' sweetheart is Miss Sadie BILLINGS. Last Friday night after he
had been attentive for some time he proposed to her and she accepted
him. They were to have been married in the fall. Miss BILLINGS, who
lives at 536 East Twenty-fourth street, was notified of the accident
to her fiancee. Pale and trembling, she hastened to the bedside and
prepared for an all-night vigil while he fought for life. The scene
was touchingly pathetic.
	Five doctors were called in consultation. They stated last night
that JONES had a bare chance -- just a fighting chance -- for recovery.
CRONEMEYER was released soon after his arrest on $500 bond. He will
be taken before Magistrate STEERS in the Flatbush court this morning.

YOUNG MAN HELD FOR ATTACK UPON MAN AND HIS WIFE
Samuel TIETFITCH, 30 years old, of 127 Christopher street,
Manhattan, was arrested last night, charged with feloniously
assaulting Aaron CURE and his wife at their home, at 81 (31?)
Liberty avenue. CURE identified TIETFITCH as his assailant.

STARVING WOMAN IS ARRESTED FOR TAKING 5-CENT LOAF OF BREAD
	Mrs. Annie RYLEY, of 455 West Forty-sixth street, Manhattan, was a
prisoner in the Yorkville court yesterday, charged by the driver of
a bakery wagon with stealing a 5-cent loaf of bread from a doorstep.
The prisoner, who said she was 34 years old, appeared half crazed by
the sufferings she said she had gone through.
	Mrs. RYLEY was arrested in front of 80 West Forty-eighth street by
Policeman O'LEARY of the East Fifty-first street police station. The
patrolman's attention was attracted to her by Robert GLADFELD,
driver of a bakery wagon for Robert BEROS' bread shop, 880 Sixth
avenue, Manhattan.
"I want that woman arrested," he shouted, pointing to the woman, who
was tearing at the loaf like a famished animal. "She stole that loaf."
"You want her arrested for stealing a loaf of bread!" exclaimed the
policeman. "Why, if that's all it is, I'll pay you for it myself."
"Not on your life," replied GLADFELD. "She stole it and I want her
pinched."
	There was nothing left for O'LEARY to do but arrest the half-starved
woman.
	In the Yorkville court, Magistrate WHITMAN heard her story. Her
husband had gotten out of work and had deserted her. She had no
money and was taken sick a week ago. Since then, not knowing that
there were charitable organizations she could apply to, she had
lived on the pickings of garbage pails, fighting vagrant dogs and
cats for putrid scraps. The sight of the crisp, newly baked loaf
lying on the doorstep, she said, was too much for her and she took it.
	The magistrate ordered Miss SMITH, the probationary officer, to take
the woman and see that she was fed. Miss SMITH, after a few moments'
conversation with the woman, recommended that she be removed to
Bellevue as her misfortunes seemed to have affected her mind.
"Say, don't I get a nickel for the spoiled loaf?" grumbled GLADFELD.
	"You'll get a booting if you don't get out quick," admonished the
big cop on the bridge, and GLADFELD "got."

Mrs. Mary ORICKINTO Badly Burned About the Body and Face at Her Home
	MEMBERS OF FAMILY ARE PANIC-STRICKEN
Flee to Street, Victim in Flames Following
	In attempting to extinguish an unruly oil lamp in her home last
night, Mrs. Mary ORICKINTO, 45 years old, of 325 Atlantic avenue,
set fire to her clothing and was badly burned on the arms, breast
and face.
	Mrs. ORICKINTO lives on the first floor of the flat building at that
address with her three married daughters and five grandchildren.
Last night something went wrong with the wick of the oil lamp and
the flame started to flare and spurt up toward the ceiling in a
dangerous manner. The entire family became frightened and no one
knew what to do.
	With what she thought was presence of mind, Mrs. ORICKINTO stepped
up to the lamp and tried to beat it out with her apron. The apron
caught fire as if it had been paper and in an instant the woman's
clothes were ablaze. The others in the room became so frightened
that they ran downstairs out of the house, leaving Mrs. ORICKINTO in
a mass of flames and the kitchen table on fire. The burning woman
soon followed her daughters, shrieking with agony, and she fell
swooning on reaching the sidewalk.
	Other inmates of the flat were brought to the first floor at the
sound of the screaming and the tablecloth and other articles that
were afire on the table where the lamp was, as well as the lamp,
were thrown out of the window.
A fire alarm and an ambulance call were sent in, and in a remarkably
short time an ambulance from the Long Island College Hospital
appeared. The surgeon saw that the condition of the unfortunate
woman was serious and he hurried her off to the hospital. Engine
Company No. 126 responded to the alarm but there was no work for it
to do.
	The accident had hardly happened when a crowd of more than a
thousand had gathered, many bent with morbid curiosity on catching a
glimpse of the burned woman. The reserves of the Butler street
station were called out and order was in a short time restored.
	Mrs. Julia GARDNER, 34 years old, of 488 Atlantic avenue, was in the
crowd. As soon as she saw the burns on Mrs. ORICKINTO's body, she
screamed and fell to the street in a swoon. She, too, was treated by
Dr. BRENNAN and was sent to her home in care of friends.

LURED TO WINDOW BY A STREET BAND, CHILD FALLS OUT
A brass band playing around the corner from her home attracted the
attention of 3-year-old Margaret POWERS of 205 Covert street
yesterday afternoon. The child ran to the window to look out and
fell head first into the street. A passerby picked up the child,
unconscious.
A hurry call for an ambulance brought Dr. VOLK of the Bushwick
Hospital, who pronounced the child suffering from a possible
fracture of the skull, internal injuries and a broken leg. He wanted
to hurry her to the hospital, but the child's mother objected and
she was left at home in the care of her family physician.

MANY SCHOOL TEACHERS HELP I.S. REMSON TO CELEBRATE HIS BIRTHDAY
	As has been his custom for some years past, I.S. REMSON gave a
complimentary luncheon yesterday afternoon in commemoration of the
58th anniversary of his birth at his country home at Harbor Haven,
which is on Jamaica Bay, halfway between Jamaica and Far Rockaway.
Mr. REMSON, at great expense, has constructed a wide canal leading
from Jamaica Bay fully 800 yards to his home and clubhouse.
	Mr. REMSON is chairman of the local board in the Thirty-third School
District and many school teachers were present at the celebration
yesterday. A feature of the occasion was a birthday cake made by
Miss WELLS, president of the St. Albans Social Society, the cake
having 58 candles on it. The Rev. Mr. BARRETT, pastor of the
Springfield Presbyterian Church, made an address. Lunch was provided
by the women of the St. Albans Social Society.

HIGHWAYMEN SANDBAG MAN NEAR HIS HOME BUT FAIL TO ROB HIM
	Highwaymen held up and sandbagged William FELDSCHAU, of 52 Prospect
street, Corona, within less than a block of his home early yesterday
morning. The bandits evidently did not know that their intended
victim was a marble cutter and almost as hard as flint. He gave them
such a fight, in spite of having been sandbagged, that they were
compelled to flee and let him take his money home.
	FELDSCHAU had about $50 in his pocket when two men who wore long
raincoats stopped him and demanded his money.
"Not a red cent!" said FELDSCHAU, putting up his fists. He is a
powerful man and had not the slightest hesitancy in taking on two
men in a fight. He had no reason to believe his adversaries intended
to use any weapons. But his mind was quickly disabused of the notion
that they would play fair, for one of the men produced a sandbag and
cracked FELDSCHAU upon the head with it, knocking him down.
	The intended victim bounded up like a rubber ball and so fiercely
assaulted the highwaymen, at the same time shouting for the police,
that they were put to flight. FELDSCHAU went home with a badly cut head.
	The sandbags had opened a deep gash upon the forehead that extended
partly across his face. He could furnish no description of his
assailants other than that both wore raincoats.

PEDDLED BEER IN JAMAICA STREET TO THIRSTY LABORERS
Michael MOTERESO, a laborer, of 238 South St., Jamaica, was arrested
yesterday for selling beer without a license.
	Policeman BYRON found MOTERESO at the corner of Flushing and
Briarwood avenues, surrounded by a crowd of laborers. MOTERESO had
six cases of bottled beer on hand and was selling it as fast as it
could be handed out. He was taken to Far Rockaway and held in $500
bail on a charge of violating the excise law.

DETECTIVE RUNS DOWN STABBER AFTER LONG CHASE
After a search lasting nearly six months, Detective VACHRIS of the
Brooklyn Bureau last night arrested Raffelo GARGULO, 20 years old,
of 56 Tillary street, on a charge of felonious assault on Vincent
FRANZA committed on Dec. 26.
	GARGULO was employed in FRANZA's barber shop on Myrtle avenue near
Fulton street until the afternoon of Dec. 26, when he left, telling
his employer he had a better job.
	FRANZA was knocked down that same night and stabbed in the back of
the neck with some sharp instrument by a man who sprang upon him
just as he was about to enter his home at 58 Tillary street, next
door to GARGULO's.
	The wounded man was found in an unconscious condition  shortly
afterward but it was several weeks before he recovered from the
attack. He told police that GARGULO was the man who had stabbed him
but all efforts to locate the alleged assailant at the time were
unavailing. It was not until yesterday that he was located in Staten
Island, where Detective VACHRIS found him at work in a barber shop
in Rosebank. He was arrested and brought to Brooklyn, and locked up
in the Adams street station house.

SEVEN SHOTS EXCHANGED IN ITALIAN ROW
Several Persons Are Stabbed More or Less Seriously in Whipple Street
ONE OF THE VICTIMS MAY DIE FROM WOUNDS
Four Arrests Made and Others Will Follow
Seven shots were fired last night during a melee between Italians in
Whipple street, a small alley running between Carroll and First
streets near Third avenue, and several men were more or less
seriously stabbed. In the fracas that followed the discharge of the
revolvers. The police of the Bergen street station made four
arrests.
	The trouble started in a saloon owned by Dominick CAPPARALLI. Three
men visited his place shortly after 6 o'clock and asked for a pail.
They said that they had been working hard and
wanted the pall for a certain purpose. They got it after a prolonged
talk and on promise to return it. They returned in a few minutes.
CAPPARALLI learned that they had used his pall to secure beer in
another store and became indignant. The result was a war of words
which came to a crisis when the three demanded free drinks. This
infuriated the saloonkeeper.
	Someone in the crowd, trying to restore peace, adopted the usual
Italian method and blazed away with his revolver. There was a
scattering, but before everybody had got out knives had
been drawn, with the result that several men were soon stretched out
on the floor.
	Patrolmen Harry HATTERSBY  and William HOTTER heard the shooting and
ran to the scene. They found Charles CAPPARALLI, one of the would-be
peacemakers, suffering from a stab wound
in the head, while his brother, Frank, was in such serious shape
that he was taken to the Seney Hospital. He may die.
	The three who stirred up the row by their use of the pail were Tony
COTELLO, Joseph COTELLO and another man who is believed to have been
shot twice. His name has been given to the police
and he will be arrested on sight. Dominick was arrested on the
complaint of Joseph COTELLO. Charles COPPARELLI (as printed)  is a
prisoner in Seney Hospital. Tony and Joseph COTELLO were also taken,
into custody on counter charges. Joseph claimed that Dominick fired
at him.
	But for the prompt arrival of the police it is likely that a general
riot would have taken place. There is a dangerous clique of Italians
in that section who have become notorious in such affairs, and it is
claimed that some of them were in the saloon just before the
shooting took place.

MAN AND WIFE ATTACKED IN THEIR HOME
Bold Assault In Brownsville Stirs Police  Assailants Escape
SUSPECT DENIES ALL KNOWLEDGE OF CRIME
Revenge Thought to Have Been the Motive.
	A strange and sudden attack was made last night upon Barnett CURE
and his wife, Dora, at their home, Osborne street and Liberty
avenue. Four men entered the hallway, knocked on the door, and when
the door was opened, the couple were each struck on the head with a
blunt instrument. CURE cried out in alarm as he fell and then
relapsed into unconsciousness, while
his wife, with an ugly scalp wound, also screamed for help.
	It was evident that no attempt was made at robbery, for as soon as
the men had struck the blows they rushed downstairs. A roll of bills
was lying on the table right in front of them.
	An ambulance surgeon from the Bradford Street Hospital attended CURE
and his wife.  They were suffering' from shock as well as the scalp
wounds.
	Later,   the   police   under   Capt. REYNOLDS, arrested Samuel
TESTRISCH, better known as "Kid Knox," who they claim knows
something about the assault. He denied the charge but was locked up
in the Brownsville station. The police are on a hunt for the man
concerned. Mrs. CURE furnished a description of them, but it is very
vague. Just before midnight David LEWIS of 590 Stone avenue was also
locked up on suspicion.
	CURE was to have been a witness in a divorce suit in Philadelphia
next week and he thinks that an attempt was made to put him out of
the way. He said that efforts had been made to keep him from the
stand. He was much alarmed over the attack, which was unusually
bold.  He could not give a description of his assailants as the
whole thing occurred so quickly that that he had no chance to get a
good look at the men.
	The nature of the assault has stirred the Brownsville cops and they
are working hard to solve the case.

Brooklyn, of a son.

Polish Wedding; Then Excise Raid
The visit of Arthur VAN FLEET, a clothing salesman, of 1182 Washington
avenue, the Bronx, to friends in Greenpoint yesteday ended 
disastrously when he visited a saloon at 121 Franklin street.
Above the barroom is a hall, where there was a wedding of two Poles
going on at the time VAN FLEET and his friends entered the saloon.
There were some of the bridegroom's friends standing around the bar, 
while the proprietors, Michael and Andrew KOZIEWECZ, were
dispensing the hospitality of the place. VAN FLEET, with his friends,
and the Poles became engaged in a discussion, which, as several
policemen from the Greenpoint avenue station appeared on the scene,
developed into a free fight, and some one hit VAN FLEET in the right
eye with a soda bottle. He fell to the floor, and the officers collared
the other men in the saloon.
Finally, after VAN FLEET had been removed to a drug store and the 
rioters placed in a patrol wagon, Andrew KOZIEWECZ was " found "
missing. The policeman began to search. There was no trace of him
in the barroom, and they went down into the cellar. Standing in a 
corner there was a huge ice box, with the dust recently brushed off
the knob of the door. An inspection seized one of the officers, and he
opened up the ice box, and discovered the missing Andrew sitting on
a keg of beer, with his arms resting comfortably on two cakes of ice.
He was dragged from his hiding place, and with VAN FLEET and the 
other men who had been in the saloon, taken to the Greenpoint
avenue station.
In the Manhattan avenue court to-day VAN FLEET and the other
patrons were fined $1 each, and the proprietors were charged with
violating the excise law.

18 June 1907
Rivals Fight, Both Are Fined
Jealousy, because his girl had a picture of his former friend, 
but present rival, is said to have been the cause of a fight between 
John MAIO, 18 years old, of 66 Skillman street, and Dominick GAROSCIO, 
23 years old, of 142 Graham street, this morning, which resulted in 
both being fined $2 by Magistrate FURLONG in the Myrtle avenue court.

Two Boys Capture Man With Revolver
Two men at odds over a young woman met last night at Dumont and Georgia
avenues, and one drew a stiletto and the other a revolver. The street was
crowded with women and children. After three shots had been fired, the man
with the knife took to his heels. The result of the shooting was 
two broken windows.
The approach of a policeman scared the man with the gun, who fled, with a 
crowd in pursuit. Michael NORLAND, of 571 Sutter avenue, and 
Louis RODINSKY, of 12 Blake avenue, each 12 years old, were foremost
in the chase. The fugitive turned and waved his pistol menacingly. The crowd
fell back, but not Michael and Louis. Michael seized the pistol and Louis 
grappled with its owner. The crowd closed in and the frightened man was
severely beaten. He was knocked down and kicked.
Policeman BRIGGS forced his way through the mob and took the man to 
the Liberty avenue station, accompanied by the two lads, whose names
were entered on the desk blotter as witnesses.The prisoner said he was
Salvador MESSINA, 27 years old, of 166 Sutter avenue.

Advertises For Father's Slayers
Behind one of the most unusual advertisements ever published in the
New York newspapers, which appeared today, is said to lie the story
of the efforts of a man to bring to justice, after many years, the 
alleged murderers of his father and to put to an end to scandalous
stories he believes have been circulated about his mother.
The advertisement is issued by James Allen LEWIS, civil engineer,
of 383 Third street, who says he will be known to many people who
see the "ad " as the " man with the wry neck."
He says he has reason to believe stories derogatory to his integrity
and morality are being circulated, and he wishes to get hold of them.
He also says he is ready to prove every one circulating a story 
reflecting on his mother, now dead, is an " unscrupulous liar and
cowardly blackguard." He requests anyone who can give him 
information about the stories to do so.
LEWIS explained to-day that he had always believed his father died
a natural death until a year ago, when information he received caused
him to visit his early home at Atlanta, Ohio.His investigation there
convinced him his father was killed by a woman agent of a secret
society. He thinks his father was poisoned. Now he wants to trace
the guilty parties, if possible.
As to the description of himself as "the man with the wry neck,"
LEWIS said he has enemies and believes they so describe him.
The people he wants to see the advertisement, he said, would
understand what was wanted.

delivered the address to the graduating class. He will be tendered a
banquet by the alumni to-night.

Old Road Divides Old-Time Friends
A proposition to close Kowenhoven lane, in South Brooklyn, is making
men who have been friends for years enemies, and there is much ado
otherwise in which the borough officials and the courts are figuring.
Kowenhoven lane runs diagonally from Fifth avenue to Sixty-seventh
street. It is one of the historical streets of that section of the borough
and has been known by its present name for 300 years.
A short time ago a resolution was adopted by the Local Improvment
Board of the Bay Ridge District closing the street. That means that the
matter is now up to the Board of Estimate to approve or disapprove.
But That body has not yet acted on it.
On one side of the Kowenhoven lane is the floral establishment of 
James WEIR. Somehow or other Mr. WEIR did not learn of the 
street closing proceedings until after the local board had disposed
of the matter.Then he was highly indignant and engaged Paul GROUT,
brother of the ex-Controller, to fight the proceeding before it reached
the Board of Estimate.
In the meantime, William MCCORMICK, who owns property on 
Sixty-seventh street, started the construction of a barn in the rear
of his premises. The barn, it is stated, extended beyond the building
line of Kowenhoven lane. Mr. WEIR took umbrage at this.
He was not at all mollified when Edward MINER, who also lives on
Sixth-seventh street, followed Mr. MCCORMICK's lead and began 
constructing a barn on Kowenhoven lane in the rear of his house.
Mr. WEIR, it might be stated, was ordered to remove his floral
houses from the lane.
Now the three property owners are warring among themselves. The
borough officials appealed to Mr. GROUT sending the following letter
to Deputy Public Works Commissioner Durbin VANVLECK.
" I understand William MCCORMICK lives on the property at Fifth
avenue and Sixty-seventh street, abutting part of the property where
the encroachment exists, and I would ask that the requirement of
removal include the filling as well as the building."
Following this Mr. GROUT appealed to and secured from Justice
KELLY an injunction  restraining the Board of Estimate from 
authorizing the closing of Kowenhoven lane until further hearing
has been had on the matter in contention.That is the way the 
matter stands at the the present time.

19 June 1907
Plank Falls On Girl And Fractures Skull
Mamie COLLINS, 4 years old, of 145 Twelfth street, while playing in 
the yard of the rear of the house, yesterday afternoon, was struck 
by a three foot plank, which fell from the fire escape at the 
third floor of the house.She was rendered unconscious and picked 
up by her mother and carried in the house. Ambulance
Surgeon KANDT, of Seney Hospital, was summoned and he found the child
suffering from a fracture of the skull.

Force Of Blow Broke Mrs. Kores' Glass Eye
The demonstration which Mrs. Sarah KORES, of 21 Rock street,
gave to Manhattan avenue court to-day, to show how seriously
her sister-in-law, Mrs. Bertha WASCHAW, had injured her, was
somewhat spectacular. Mrs. WASCHAW's husband is a brother
of Mrs. KORES, but the women are not on very good terms.
Yesterday the quarrel reached a head and there was a fierce
battle in Mrs. KORES' home, all on account of Mr. WASCHAW,
who was calling on his sister when his wife found him there.
Mrs. Kores had her sister-in-law hailed to court on a warrant,
charged with assault, and she told her story to Magistrate REILLY.
" Your honor," said she, " she beat me something terrible. I don't
seem to have any wounds? Why, she gave me such a blow on the
eye that she cracked it, Just look!"
Here the witness reached up and took a glass orb from under her
left eyelid and passed it over to the magistrate. The latter
acknowledged that the eye was injured; in fact, such an 
impression was made upon him that he sent the case to the 
Court of Special Sessions, paroling Mrs. WASCHAW.

Car Wrecks Wagon Filled With Children
In a collision between a wagon containing twenty-two children on an 
outing and a Third avenue trolley car in Manhattan this afternoon
several youngsters narrowly escaped being severely injured. An
ambulance surgeon, however, patched up their bruises, and took
only one, four-year-old, Benjamin SLOSKY, with him to the hospital.
St. Mark's Sunday School, at Tenth street and Avenue A, was giving
a ride to the youngsters. There were 46 in all, in two wagons. They 
were returning from Central Park when at Sixteenth street and Third
avenue a car crashed into the second wagon. The first had passed in
safety.All the children were thrown to the street, the wagon being
totally wrecked. Cries of horror went up from the spectators, as it
seemed that some of the youngsters had been ground beneath the
wheels. Daniel O'KEEFE, the motorman, was surrounded by an 
angry mob, and had it not been for the prompt action of the police
he would have been roughly handled. Miss Charlotte WHITE, 22
years old, a teacher, was also in the wagon. She was badly
bruised, but refused to go to the hospital.

took effect over the right eye, rendering him unconscious. An ambulance
from the Far Rockaway Hospital carried him to his home, where he family
physician and another doctory examinded the wound.There was an effort
to keep the shooting a secret. The ambulance surgeon said that young
SCHEER may die of his wound. The family physician issued a statement
saying the injury was slight. " My son was trying to fire a shot over the
water in the dark and accidentally shot himself." said SCHEER's father.

Dog Clawed Her Waist As Sweetheart Fled
The desk Lieutenant at the Fifth avenue police station experienced a slight
shock about 5:30 o'clock last evening when a pretty woman with her face
crimson and all excited, rushed up to him and began talking hurriedly, at
the same time making frantic attempts to hold together her shirt waist,
which was once a very pretty creation of its kind.When the lieutenant had
recovered from his surprise he listened to the young woman, who proved 
to be Miss Minnie ALLISON, who had just reached her twenties, and who
lives at 423 Sixth avenue. According to Minnie, she and a young man
friend had just been strolling along Sixth avenue when a vicious bulldog
rushed out of a nearby yard and made straight at her. Her escort forgot
his gallantry and evidently recalling that old axiom, discretion is the 
better part of valor, allowed himself to walk away from the manaced Minnie.
Thus she stood alone and unprotected. The bulldog gave one leap at the
woman and its claws caught in her shirt waist, tearing it in shreds. She
screamed and the animal was frightened away. Then Minnie, followed
by her escort, hastened to the station  house, where she made a
complaint against the supposed owner of the dog.

Carved His Rival In Fight In Dark Hall
John MOLINARO, 38 years old, of 203 Twenty-first street, and Harry MURACHIO,
26 years old, of the same address, fought on the dark stairway at the above
address last night about 10:30 o'clock. MOLINARO, says he was attacked 
unawares. He was badly cut in the chest by a keen razor. For several days the
men have been quarreling over an olive skinned dark eyed Sicilian girl, who 
lives in the immediate neighborhood. Last night as MOLINARO was returning to his 
room and was climbing the dark stairs, a hand reached out from the inky
darkness and grabbed him by the throat.He resisted as best he could and
locked in each other's arms, the two worked their way down the stairs to the
ground floor, where MOLINARO discovered his assailant was his old rival in love.
MURACHIO slashed him and escaped. MOLINARO's wound is not serious.
The police scoured the entire Italian settlement for MURACHIO, but he had made
good his escape.

Tattoo Mark That Isn't
John J. FLOOD, a young lieutenant attached to local police headquarters, to-day
thanked his lucky stars that there were no tattoo marks on his right arm, for if
there had been he might have had considerable diffuculty proving that he was a 
single man. Even as it was the young sleuth put in a nervous half hour.
It all happened this way:
FLOOD, who is considered one of the Beau Brummels of the Detective Bureau,
was given an assignment by Capt. MCCAULEY to watch for pick pockets on
Fulton street. As FLOOD was standing at Smith and Fulton streets about 10:30
a young woman, very much excited, rushed up to him and, grabbing him by the
arm, shouted: " I have you at last, you wretch! You will desert me and our baby!"
This was a poser for FLOOD and he told the woman that she must be crazy;
that he had never seen her before and she must be mistaken. But the woman
would not be pacified and clung to him, exclaiming that she wanted him to come
home. As a large crowd had gathered by this time, FLOOD told the woman that 
if she didn't stop bothering him he would arrest her, as he was a policeman
and didn't know her." Well arrest me, if you wish; but I will never let you go 
after searching for you for a year," answered the woman. As there seemed to be
no alternative, and the woman becoming more boisterous, the lieutenant took her
to police headquarters. There she told Capt. MCCAULEY that FLOOD was her
husband and had abandoned her and her two-year-old child,Mabel, in Newark
a year ago. "I have been looking for him ever since and I saw him for the first
time since he left me, this morning on Fulton street;and I was bound not to let
him get away.Things were looking pretty bad for FLOOD and he protested to 
Capt. MCCAULEY that he never saw the woman before and that there was no
truth in her statement that he was married to her. Just as Capt. MCCAULEY
was on the point of believing the woman's story she said: " I would know him
in a thousand, and to prove that I am not mistaken he has a star tattooed on
his right arm near the elbow. With a sigh of relief FLOOD whipped off his coat
and rolled up his sleeve and disclosed his arm, on which there were no mark
of any kind. " Well-well-well!" exclaimed the young woman. " I guess I have made
a mistake, and I am awfully sorry that I accused an innocent man;but, Mr. FLOOD,
you do look a whole lot like my husband. FLOOD told her that he didn't mind but
he. was awfully glad that he didn't have a star on his arm. The woman said she was
Mrs. Winifred MURPHY, of 1236 Broad street, Newark. Lieut. FLOOD is said to be
engaged to a most estimable young lady of Flatbush.

Striking Capmakers Beat Up Two Breakers
The striking capmakers from the factory of LAMSCHICK Brothers, at Union avenue
and South second street, became troublesome again to-day, and it was found
necessary to summon the reserves from the Bedford avenue station to subdue
them. Four arrests were made, the prisoners being 
Louis MILLER, 21 years old,of 63 Stanton street, Manhattan; 
Pincus LISS, 21 years old, of 798 East Fifth street, Manhattan; 
Lizzie MARKOWITZ, 18 years old, of 48 Middleton street,
Louis COHEN, of 210 East Ninety-ninth street, Manhattan.
Two of the strike breakers, 
Abraham ROSS, of 89 Greenpoint avenue, and 
Mollie BRUCKMAN, of 166 Scholes street, were attacked on the street, 
a block from the factory and badly beaten. The "cops" drew their 
clubs and used them freely, after which the four prisoners were taken. 
When taken before Magistrate HIGGENBOTHAM in the Lee avneue court 
later the four were held for a hearing.

BABE BORN WITH FULL HEAD OF HAIR IS DESERTED.
Joseph WHITE, of 45 West Sixteenth Street, Coney Island 
found a baby heavily inclosed in swaddling clothes near 
the West End railroad.  He was attracted to the bushes by 
the wailing of the infant.  Besides all the other clothes 
the baby also was protected by a shawl.
Taken to the Coney Island police station, the infant was placed 
in the care of Dr. PIERCE, who said that teh baby could not have 
been more than ten hours old when found.  A peculiar feature of 
it is that the child was born with a luxuriant crop of hair.  It 
is evidently of Italian birth.
After the child had been sent to the city nurse, detectives were 
assigned to find the mother.

Lads of Nine Accused of Stealing Horses
Booked for a hearing in the Children�s court to-day were Albert RACK of 199
Tillary street and John MAFFOTINI, of 208 Tillary street.  Each is 9 years
old.  They attempted to sell to John MC CABE of 24 Spencer street, a team of
horses belonging to James NEWTON, of 445 Hudson avenue.  The boys declared
they found the team at Walworth street and Flushing avenue.  NEWTON told the
police the team had disappeared earlier in the day from the street near his
home, having been unhitched from a wagon by some person or persons unknown.

MOTHERS BLOOD GIVEN FOR CHILD
Dr. George W. CRILE, of Cleveland, at Seney Hospital
recently demonstrated the value of a new method for 
transferring blood. Other methods of transfusing blood
have been unsuccessful because of clotting. No foreign
body is introduced into the blood stream to cause
clotting by the new method.
The person who underwent the operation was a six year
old boy who had been run over by a wagon. His mother
gave the blood. The vein of the patient was drawn through
a tube and then the end of the vein was turned back over
the end of the tube so that the lining of the vein was on 
the outside. It was then tied in place with a piece of silk.
The artery of the mother was then drawn over the cuff of 
the vein, bringing the two delicate membranes into contact
The operation was described by a hospital surgeon as follows:
" The child was in a state of profound shock when
brought to the hospital. His pulse was 160, and he was
in such a critical condition that an operation was 
deemed inadvisable. A diagnosis of hemorrhage of the
stomach was made. To get the boy into condition to 
stand an operation we decided to do a transfusion of
blood". " At the beginning of the transfusion the boy's
lips were white, his eyes sunken and glassy and his
pulse of 160 was almost imperceptible. At the end
of half an hour, as the blood had been slowly allowed
to run from the mother into the boy, his cheeks became
rosy, his lips red and his mental condition remarkably
improved. His pulse dropped to 110 and became of
good quality and he became a good subject for 
operation.The operation was performed and the boy 
was found to have a ruptured spleen, lacerations of the
liver and a rupture of the renal vein on the left side, which
had been torn from its attachment to the kidney. The
vessels of the spleen were ligated and the spleen was
removed. It was impossible to subject the child to an
operation for the removal of the kidney as well as the
spleen and also repair the tears in the liver, so the 
operation was finished". " The boy died four hours
later from the continuance of hemorrhages. Although
his injuries were too extensive to permit of a 
successful outcome, if it had been possible to check
all hemorrhages at the time, this transfusion would
undoubtedly have saved the boy's life.

TOOK HOUR TO REVIVE NEAR DROWNED YOUTH
While in swimming yesterday afternoon in Spring Creek,
Old Mill, at the foot of Crescent street, Thomas SHANLEY,
18 years of age, who resides at 144 Van Siclen avenue,
was taken with cramps and sank. It was several minutes
before his body was recovered by his companions, John
SCHULTZ, 144 Van Siclen avenue, and Dennis BRODERICK,
1698 St. Marks avenue, who called for help.Their cries 
attracted the attention of some  "Old Millers" who ran to
where the body lay. It took nearly an hour of heroic work
to bring SHANLEY back to consciousness. When
sufficiently revived he was taken home in a carraige.

STORK DESCENDS ON BEACH AT CONEY
In the midst of a throng of women and children the stork descended 
on the beach at Coney Island yesterday afternoon, and only the 
quick action of Dr. T.L.HOWARD and Dr. C.F. HOLTHAUSEN, of the 
Reception  Hospital, saved the lives of Mrs Lena HARGRAN and her 
infant.Mrs. HARGRAN, who lives at Bay Twenty-seventh street and 
Bath avenue, went to Coney Island with a friend to spend 
the afternoon on the beach at Seaside Park. Suddenly there was 
a commotion on the beach, and after several whispered consultations 
Mrs. HARGRAN's  companion caused an ambulance to be summoned. 
Dr. HOWARD and Dr. HOLTHAUSEN found the woman in  critical condition 
and quickly removed her and her infant to the hospital. The
child was the smallest bit of humanity the physicians had ever had in the  
hospital, for it was only seven inches long and weighed less than 
two pounds. The physicians held out little hope for the 
infant until a suggestion was made that it be hurried to the 
incubators in Dreamland. Wrapped in cotton and reposing in the arms
of Dr. HOWARD the infant was conveyed in an ambulance to the pleasure 
park, where the gate keepers, not having been informed 
of the reason for its sudden appearance, refused to permit the driver 
to enter. The appearance of Dr. FISCHEL, in charge of the incubators, 
ended the argument at the gate and the ambulance rolled through 
the crowd of pleasure seekers in the park. As it came to a stop 
Dr. HOWARD leaped from the rear seat and hurried into the  
building with the infant. There were hardly any signs of life when 
the baby was  unwrapped, but a mustard bath, with stimulants and 
oxygen, soon restored signs of life to the child. It weighed 
exactly one pound and eleven ounces, according to the incubator house 
scales. Mrs. MARGRAN was taken to the Kings County Hospital for treatment.

Harry HARCOURT ELUDES THE POLICE
Harry HARCOURT, the young man who was so
anxious to marry Janet MARTIN, the Philadelphia
girl a few days ago, has disappeared. When an
officer went to the BLISS foundry yesterday
with a warrant for his arrest on a charge of 
abandoning his wife and child, he was informed
that HARCOURT had not reported for work for two
days. The officer was told a young woman had
called with an order for the wages due him.
At the boarding house on Gold street, where
HARCOURT went after Janet MARTIN'S arrest,
it was learned that HARCOURT left the house
in the morning with a traveling bag. In view of the
fact that Miss MARTIN appeared to be not only
willing, but anxious to return to Philadelphia,
the theory is that HARCOURT preceded her 
there.HARCOURT did not know there was a
warrant out for his arrest, and it is thought that
he advised Janet to go back to Philadelphia.

BOOKMAKER'S WIFE MAKE THINGS LIVELY
Mrs. Eva BROWN, wife of Richard H. BROWN, 
a bookmaker, was in Coney Island court to-day
on a charge of disorderly conduct and was
released under suspended sentence. Mrs. 
BROWN, richly dressed and elaborately jeweled,
added an unexpected feature to the programme
at Dreamland last night. The BROWNS, 
accompanied by several friends, dined in a hotel,
and it was suggested by the police that wine was
on the bill of fare. After dinner they went to
Dreamland and entered the ballroom shortly
before 10 o'clock. Mrs. BROWN attempted to
waltz, it is said, and the floor was so slippery
she collapsed. Deputy Police Commissioner
O'KEEFFE was there with several friends and
BROWN was induced to take his wife out of the
place. Just as they were leaving there, it is said,
Mrs. Brown struck her husband a stinging blow,
and struck him in the head again after they 
reached Surf avenue.Patrolman TRAVIS hurried
to where the BROWNS were struggling. Mrs.
BROWN said there was no trouble, but her
husband said there was, and insisted his wife
be locked up. In the police station Mrs BROWN,
when asked her name, said she had forgotten it.
" You had better ask that fellow there", she said,
indicating her husband. BROWN proceeded to 
give her name and pedigree.
" I will make you remember this all right", she said
to him. " Wait until I get hold of you. You will not
forget it, and neither will I."

SOUTH BROOKLYN-BOY AND MIDDLE-AGED MAN ARRESTED FOR VAGRANCY

wandering about the island and unable to give a good
account as to his presence at the resort. He was 
taken to the Chidren's Society.
Lawrence DUNNEGAN, 34 years old, of 649 Classon
avenue, was before Magistrate VOORHEES in the 
Coney Island court charged with vagrancy on complaint
of Patrolman MCDONALD of the Sheepshead Bay
station. The officer stated he had found DUNNEGAN
wandering about the streets of the Sheepshead Bay
section. Magistrate VOORHEES suspended sentence.

HOD CARRIER FALLS 15 FEET OFF LADDER
While carrying a hod full of mortar up a ladder at a

the right temple with a revolver which he had 
bought for that purpose.The shot was heard
throughout the building and when a hurried 
investigation was made DEMBROSKI was found
bleeding to death in an out-of-the-way corner.
His removal to the Williamsburg Hospital, in 
charge of Dr. VOLGT, followed.

LONG ISLAND LOOT IS IDENTIFIED
A long string of residents of Freeport, Merrick, Cedarhurst, Baldwins, 
Lynbrook, and other Long Island towns, whose homes have been entered and 
robbed within the last five or six  months, appeared to-day at 
Manhatten Police Headquarters to indentify $75,000 worth of 
property that was found late yesterday afternoon in a house in 
East 123d street. The booty was seized as the result of a raid by Sheriff  
GILDERSLEEVE, of Nassau County, aided by Detectives DOOLADY, HUGHES 
and HYAMS, who for some time have been on the trail of the  so-called 
"auto robbers" of Long Island. They expressed the positive belief 
to-day that the house in Manhatten was used as the storehouse 
for the stolen goods.Among the persons who identified their property 
were the following, with the monetary loss sustained by them in the  
various robberies:
R.H.MORRISON, house in Lynbrook, entered in December, $1,200;
Philander JENNINGS, Merrick, January, $2,000;
J.H.SCHUMANN, Baldwins, December, $500;
Matthew MURRAY, Freeport, December, $1,200;
 (the members of the MURRAY family were chloroformed and the burglar 
  alarm and telephone wires were cut on the occasion of the 
  unwelcome visit );
William H. NUBRA, Springfield, April, $500;
John HOPKINS, Cedarhurst, November, $2,000 and May, $2,000;
George GATES, Cedarhurst, November, $500 and May, $500;
P.M. BROWN, Merrick, May, $1,000;
Edward A. ABRAMS, Hewlett, May, $500;
H.H. CAMERON, Merrick, May, $1,600;
Peter MULLER, Merrick, May, $500;
James HART, Freeport, April, $1,000;
George BOECHELS, postmaster at Rosedale, safe blown open in April and $1,200 stolen;
William VERITY and Howard WORTHMAN, Merrick, April, $1,500; 
F.D. SMITH, Baldwins, April, $1,000.

The list of robberies is much longer.The raid yesterday resulted from 
evidence obtained by GILDERSLEEVE, following his descent on a saloon 
near Freeport on Wednesday night, when five men were chased into a swamp,
following a pistol fight. Two were wounded in the melee. A woman, 
who gave her name as Mamie BURNS, and said she was the wife of
one of the men, was arrested. She answered the description of the 
woman seen in the auto at night with men suspected of belonging to   
a gang of thieves. She has vigorously denied any connection with 
the robberies, but an attempt is being made to identify her. 
In some of the reports of the robberies the woman was said to have 
been acting as  chauffeur of the big machine which the 
marauders used in their hurried trips on the Long Island roads. 
In their attempt to run the gang to earth the detectives became
suspicious of many saloons, with the result that every 
one has been kept closed on Sunday. Sheriff GILDERSLEEVE is trying 
to land evidence against the one near which the men were 
discovered the other night. Mineola, June 21---
Much of the stolen property found in a hotel at Freeport on Wednesday 
last and brought to District Attorney COLES' office here has been 
identified by the rightful owners. 
William MORRISON, the theatrical manager, whose country home is at Lynbrook;
John VAN NOSTRAND, of Springfield, and George ROCKEL, postmaster at 
Foster Meadow, where he has a hardware store, are among those who identified 
some of the stolen goods as their property. Christopher SCHANG, the 
youth arrested in connection with the robberies, was put under 
the third degree in the county jail here to-day by District Attorney 
COLES and County Detectives HULTZ and SWEET. Mr.COLES says that 
SCHANG broke down and made a full confession, in which he implicated August 
FERRIG, the proprietor of the Freeport hotel, Maurice BURKE and himself 
in a long series of robberies.Mr. COLES said that SCHANG, told him the 
three had plundered many houses throughout the county. He said the proceeds 
of the robberies were taken to the hotel, which was the headquarters of 
the gang and from there shipped to New York. In describing the methods 
of the trio, SCHANG, said that when they entered a house they would  
invariably squirt, ether through the keyholes of the bedrooms in 
which persons were sleeping so that the occupants might be affected by 
the fumes and the robbers could conduct their operations without being
disturbed.SCHANG told the District Attorney where a lot of pawn tickets 
for stolen goods could be found and in reciting the operations
of the gang mentioned a number of robberies of which Mr. COLES 
then heard for the first time.

22 June 1907
WHO IGNORES SIGN (header cut off)
Because he insisted upon driving his horse and carriage through 
Kent avenue between North Fifth and North Sixth streets, which 
thoroughfare was being asphalted, 
Walter KAINER, of 617 Driggs avenue, was set upon by the Italian 
laborers at work and badly beaten.The foreman of the gang had  
warned KAINER not to drive his horse on, and just as the animal 
was in the middle of the block several Italians jumped upon 
him, yanked him from his seat and pummeled him.A couple of 
clerks employed in the station of the Brooklyn Union Gas 
Company rushed to KAINER's aid and summoned the reserves of the 
Bedford avenue station.The police rounded up:  
James PASCAL, of 125 Vermont avenue; 
Angelo MERINO, of 156 Johnson avenue; 
John MASTITO, of 229 Johnson avenue; 
Angelo DOMINICKO, of 56 Skillman street;
John PAUL, of 31 Spencer street and
Reino SABINO, of 124 Flushing avenue.
In the Lee avenue court the prisoners were held on a charge of 
felonious assault. KAINER was attended by Dr. SNYDER, of
the Easter District Hospital, and removed to his home.

WOMAN REBELS AT BEING ROBBED TWICE
James MCCABE, a chore man was held for Special
Sessions by Magistrate TIGHE in the Adams street
court to-day on a charge of larceny. Mrs. Catherine
a. GARLAND, of 868 East Twelfth street, says she
gave MCCABE a $10 bill to get changed, and that
he failed to come back. Mrs. GARLAND says James
played a similar trick on her before but she forgave him.

BROWNSVILLE-CARPENTER FALL FAR; ONLY SLIGHTLY INJURED
Max FEINBERG, 28 years old, was removed to his home
at 319 Osborn street by Ambulance Surgeon MCMURRAY,
of St. Mary's Hospital, yesterday, suffering from contusions
of the face, right arm and shock which he sustained by
falling from the second story to the cellar of the building in
the course of erection on St. Marks avenue, between 
Saratoga and Howard avenues. FEINBERG,a carpenter, was
working on the second floor when he fell and but for a pile of
dirt which he landed on in the cellar he might have sustained
serious injuries.

GREENPOINT-IN CRITICAL CONDITION AS RESULT OF FALL
Thomas HIGGINS, of 133 Dupont street, was at work yesterday
afternoon at Jefferson street and Kickerbocker avenue, on a 
scaffold, when he lost his balance, falling three stories to the
pavement below. Several passersby who rushed to his 
assistance expected to find him dead, but his injuries seemed
to amount to nothing more than a badly sprained back. He was
taken to his home, but last evening grew rapidly worse. An
ambulance was summoned from the Williamsburg Hospital, and
Surgeon VOGT, found HIGGINS suffering from internal injuries,
but left him at his home, where he lies in critical condition.

TROLLEY IN FATAL CRASH-
Two Fatally and Six Seriously Hurt in Collision Just Before Midnight
PASSENGERS CUT AND BRUISED
Ambulances From Four Hospitals Rush to Scene Agonizing Cries of Victims
	Two men are so badly injured that they cannot recover,
six others are seriously hurt and more than fifty 
passengers in a Smith street car were bruised and cut 
shortly before 11 o'clock last night, when the car, 
bound to Manhatten from Coney Island, crashed into 
Salvage Corps wagon No. 2 at Smith and Dean streets. 
The Salvage Corps wagon had left its house in Pacific 
street near Court to answer an alarm at Sterling place 
and Vanderbilt avenue, and was just turning into Smith 
street at Dean when car No. 354, in charge of Motorman 
John COX and Conductor John MEYER, came bowling 
along at a rapid rate. The car struck the wagon in the rear, 
pushed it up on the sidewalk, and into the window of the
liquor store of HIRSHEFIELD & BECK at the corner 
smashing the plate glass, upsetting the wagon and 
wrecking the car. The men in the Salvage Corps were
buried under the wreck and the passengers tossed out

Robert BAXTER, who lives in Degraw street, near Hoyt
street, was walking along Smith street at the time and
was bowled over by the wagon as it was pushed up on
the sidewalk. His skull was fractured and his right leg cut off.	
	Fireman William WOOLSEY, of the Salvage Corps, was
caught under the wreck and mangled by the glass. Both
men were unconscious when dragged out.

Capt. CUSHMAN, of the Corps; 
Michael O'CONNELL, the driver, and 
Fireman James TUOHEY, 
Daniel A. SMITH, 
Horace BYRNES and Daniel ERLINGER were hurled out and seriously injured. 
All suffered broken bones and cuts.
	Ambulances were summoned from Long Island College,
Seney, Brooklyn and Swedish Hospitals and the Surgeons
at once got busy caring for the injured.
BAXTER and WOOLSEY were at once rushed to the 
Long Island College Hospital. On the way to that 
institution Father PATTERSON, of the Church of St. Paul,
administered the last rites of the church to BAXTER.
The surgeons at the hospital this morning said that both
men had only a few hours to live. Their injuries were of
such a serious nature that they were beyond recovery.
The Surgeons from Seney, Brooklyn, and the Swedish
Hospitals were not kept in idleness in the meanwhile.
The trolley car was loaded to the running platform and 
the collision injured nearly every one in it, although the 
police were unable to obtain more than a dozen of names.
Some of those hurt were hustled into the pharmacy of
Otto E. ARESTOSKY, at 120 Smith street, and the others
were laid out on the sidewalk. 

These are the names of those hurt on the car that the police obtained:
Mary M'GOWAN, Twenty-third street and Second  
avenue, Manhatten, contusions of body, taken to Long Island College Hospital.
Henry OLDHAM, taken to Seney Hospital, contusions and cuts.
Madeline ENNIS, shock, went home.
Theresa MCBRIDE, contusions and shock, taken to Brooklyn Hospital.
Lena COMSTOCK, taken to Long Island College Hospital, contusions, cut by flying glass.
Beatrice ARNOLD, of Henry street, near Concord, shock, sent home.
Mrs. Ellen DORSEY, Euclid, O., and 5 year old daughter, Anna, 
	both cut about head, at Seney Hospital.
Sadie KEARNS, Schermerhorn and Bond streets, 
	contusions, shock, sent home.
Bessie SADLIER, 144th. street and Third avenue, Manhatten, shock, sent home.

	contusions, cut about head and face, sent home.
Mrs. Mary WECKERHOFF, Third avenue and Tenth street, Manhatten, 
	Long Island College Hospital, shock, contusions, cut by flying glass.
Gertrude MCCORMICK, Sands street, cut about face and hands, sent home.
Twenty or thirty others were bruised and cut and received attention at 
	houses in the neighborhood, which were thrown open freely. 
They went home without giving their names or addresses. The cries of 
the injured and the noise of the crash were heard for several blocks 
and a big crowd gathered. The reserves from two police precincts 
were summoned to keep the mob back and preserve order so that the ambulance 
surgeons could attend to their work. 
Capt. TIGHE arrested Motorman COX and Conductor MEYER on a charge of criminal
negligence. They will come up for a hearing in the Butler street court this morning.

CHILD FRACTURES SKULL BY FALL
Myrtle STEINBORN, 3 years old, was removed from her home,

second story window into the rear yard while playing in the 
kitchen of her home. Her recovery is regarded as  doubtful.

MARGARET'S PAPA SORELY NEEDED
Momma is Sick, and Margaret and Johnnie are Lonesome, Little One Writes
CRY THEMSELVES TO SLEEP
Open Letter To Missing Man May Reach His Eye
	Little Margaret O'BRIEN is pining away with melancholy,
and throughout the long hot day there is only one
plaintive wail coming from her, "Where is papa?"
The little one's mother, lying upon a sick bed, carresses
the golden locks of the pleading tot and reassures her 
that papa will come the next day.
	Mrs. Edward O'BRIEN's story is a sad one, for it seems
that she is hoping against hope, but all for the sake of 
her children, Margaret, 4 years old, and Johnnie, who is
only 18 months old. Six months ago Edward O'BRIEN 
who had occupied a good position vanished leaving not
the slightest clew* to his whereabouts. He left his wife, 
Mary to care for the two children, who were invalids,
and Mrs. O'BRIEN herself was not so strong that she
could earn a livelihood. The paltry sum that Mrs. O'BRIEN
had was eaten up quickly through the purchase of the
necessaries of life and the woman and her children were
left alone to struggle for an existence. Thanks to the
generosity of Mrs. LAWSON, who had known the O'BRIENS and who kept a 
little candy store at 371 Prospect avenue, the family were taken in. 
Mrs. LAWSON was not too rich, but she had a good heart. She heard
Margaret softly sobbing for her papa, and she herself ran off to some 
quiet corner to cry. She, too, was a mother and had a little one.
The other day Mrs. LAWSON saw Margaret deeply interested in writing a letter. 
Looking over the letter she saw it was addressed to The Standard Union.
That it might reach its destination she took a stamped envelope from 
her stock and addressed it. Here is the letter:
Brooklyn June 20th. 1907
Dear Sir,
Will you publish in your paper the Standard Union an
article for my father whom I have not seen for six
month my little brother and mama and me are very
lonesome for Papa and need him very much
his name is Mr. Edward O'BRIEN so if you will
oblige us I know your Paper will find him for us and
mama and all of us bless you.
P.S. I will mail Picuture if you think it is best.
               Margarett** O'BRIEN
               371 Prospect ave. 
               Brooklyn
Mr. Edward O'BRIEN:
	Come home to Margrett and John We are very lonesome
and mama is sick We are praying every night Papa that 
you will come home and cry are selfs to sleep so dont 
stay away any longer as your 2 babes are heart broken 
for you
  		Your little
   		Margrett
	During all this time nothing has been heard of Edward 
O'BRIEN. Inquiries have led to nothing, and Mrs. O'BRIEN
has fallen sick and taken to her bed. She is now unable 
to earn anything. She made cigar bands before she 
bacame sick.And all this while, Margaret's red cheeks
have been growing paler and more drawn in, and her 
beautiful blue eyes look so sad that they almost seem
to tell the story of her miseries.No longer does she run
about playing with the children, her voice merrier than the
others, her laugh almost as melodious as the chirping of
the sparrows on an early spring morning; her bliss complete.
She is longing for papa, but papa does not come. Many a
time does she steal off to a quiet corner of Mrs. LAWSON's
candy store and almost cry her little heart out. And her
mother, wan and helpless in bed, reassures Margaret
that papa will surely come the next day.

PEABODY THREATENS TO "SHOW UP" EVERYBODY
William F. PEABODY, ex-lieutenant of detectives, who was
dismissed from the Police Department yesterday by 
Commissioner BINGHAM, after a trial for having been mixed
up in the Howard GOULD divorce suit, to-day returned his
shield to the department. He remained in the Manhatten 
Headquarters building for about an hour, and was caught by
the newspaper men as he emerged. He was fairly boiling
with indignation and talked hot stuff for fully a half hour.
"I'm a private citizen now," said PEABODY, " and I can say
what I like. If I should tell you all that happened in the Yale
Club on the night of May 21 you would be surprised. I went
there at 6 o'clock in the evening after working all day and I
was kept there by Deputy Commissioner HANSON until 
after 1:30 in the morning.He ordered me to squeal on 
MCLAUGHLIN, and I wouldn't do it because I had nothing
to squeal about." " Then HANSON took off his coat and 
threatened me and tried to bulldoze me. On Wednesday, 
the day before my trial, HANSON sent for my lawyer, Dan
O'REILLEY, and after a talk of two hours he promised me
immunity if I would plead guilty. With this in mind I came
to the trial on Thursday with out a lawyer and got the 
double cross". " That man upstairs called me a liar and a
traitor. He's not my superior. No man is my superior who
calls me by names like that.He and the others upstairs are
traitors. I'm going in business for myself now, and I'll show
up some of these four-flushers."
PEABODY will start as a private detective. He is said to be
without a peer as a sleuth. He will attempt, it is said, to 
unravel some of the mysteries that baffle the police and 
thus hopes to show them up before the public.

BOY LIVES AFTER CAR HAS PASSED OVER HIM
That five-year -old Nicholas FRITZ, of 720 Fifth avenue, should
escape what appeared to a number of horrified bystanders to 
be certain and instant death, is considered by the witnesses as
nothing short of a miracle. A fast moving south-bound United
States mail car on the Fifth avenue line, after striking the child, 
passed completely over him, leaving him unhurt, with the 
exception of a few bruises. Nicholas was playing yesterday 
afternoon with a number of companions on Fifth avenue, 
between Twenty-second and Twenty-third streets. He did not
see the mail car approaching and as it was about ten feet away
from him he stepped directly in front of it.
Men and women passing along the avenue at the time yelled and
screamed. The motorman tried to stop the car, but it was too late.
The child was knocked down, thrown under the fender and the car
passed over him. It was the work of a second or so, but to the 
onlookers it seemed an age.The mother and father of the boy,
who conduct a small fruit store in the neighborhood, on hearing
the cries of the excited people rushed out of the store and made
for the spot where the boy lay stretched out between the tracks.
The father, Dominick, picked up his son and carried him into the
store. The boy appeared as if dead and when Officer Robert BOLLE,
attached to the Fifth avenue court, sent in an ambulance call he
deemed it useless. On the arrival of Ambulance Surgeon DOOBINSKA,
of the Norwegian Hospital the boy was found to be suffering only from
shock and contusions on the face and body. Mrs. FRITZ said that
Nicholas was still in a very bad condition, but she has hopes of his
recovery.

Mr. and Mrs. Eben J. KNOWLTON, of 87 Remsen street, have gone

WOMAN SHOOTS PISTOL BULLET INTO HER BRAIN
Mrs Emily T. CAULDWELL shot herself last night with
a 32-calibre revolver and the bullet lodged in the brain.
She was put on board the late train and sent to the
Seney Hospital, Brooklyn. Her chances of recovery
seemed very slight when she was taken away from
here. Mrs. CAULDWELL used to live in Brooklyn.
Four or five years ago she separated from her husband,
and had been livng here with her sister, Mrs. Irene
YOUNG. She was engaged in the dressmaking
business, and was doing a good business. She 
seemed to be in good spirits. Last evening, without
any warning, she called to her sister from one room
to another that she was going to shoot herself. Mrs.
YOUNG ran into the room where her sister was, and
as she passed in the doorway, Mrs. CAULDWELL,
fired the shot into her head. Dr. J.L. JOHNSON and 
Dr. A.E.PAYNE were called. They found that the
bullet passed into the brain and decided to take
their patient to Seney Hospital. At Seney Hospital
to-day the surgeons said there was no hope for Mrs.
CAULDWELL's recovery. The bullet entered far into
the brain, and death is expected at any moment. The
woman did not regain consciousness from the time she
entered the hospital. The physicians say her vitality is extraordinary.

S.B.-NEIGHBOR SAYS NELLIE IS A SURE ENOUGH TERROR
When Nellie MCCREADY, of West Twenty-fourth street, Coney
Island, was called to appear before Magistrate VOORHEES in 
the Coney Island court to show cause why a warrant should not
be issued for her arrest charging her with assault upon Marie
HACKETT, of the same address, she failed to put in an appearance, 
but in her place came her husband, who was armed with a letter
which contained the information that Nellie had stepped upon a 
rusty nail and was at home suffering from the effects.
Miss HACKETT, the complaintant was backed up in her assertions
relative to Nellie's conduct by a number of other tenants at the same
address. She claimed that Nellie had been making life miserable for
her the past four months, and lately has been threatening her with
an axe. She brought the axe along with her to court. It was of 
enormous size and caused gasps of amazement among the court
attendants. All of Marie's followers were of the one mind---that Nellie
was a terror to the neighborhood and they wanted something done

O'KEEFFE STIRS UP THE CAPTAINS
Many Complaints From Citizens About 
         The Firecracker Nuisance
COPS APPARENTLY DEAF TO IT
Premature Celebrations Result in Fatality
Deputy Police Commissioner O'KEEFFE, stirred 
to action by scores of complaints and the killing
of a little girl yesterday by a runaway horse which
had been frightened by an exploding firecracker,
to-day gave orders to the precinct commanders
to stir their men to vigilence in stopping premature
celebrations.
All over Brooklyn since the sale of  firecrackers was 
authorized, there has been a constant bing-bang-
bing, with the police apparently deaf to it.A patrolman
stood at the corner of Grand avenue and Prospect
place at 10 o'clock last night and did not budge from
his comfortable repose against a store window, while
a gang of boys halfway down the block in Prospect
place made enough noise with giant firecrackers to be
heard ten blocks away. At the same time another gang
at St. Marks and Grand avenues exploded what evidently
were dynamite torpedoes. Then the "cop" moved away, 
perhaps because he didn't like the noise.The same 
conditions prevail in other sections. Arthur HANSON, 
8 years old, of 204 Thirty-third street, went out yesterday 
to celebrate and lit a cannon cracker. All went well until he
lit a second cannon cracker. Then a piece of the wrapper
set fire to his clothing. He was in flames when Mrs. 
REDMOND, a neighbor, heard his screams, picked him
up and carried him to his mother. His clothes were torn off,
and the Norwegian Hospital ambulance surgeon attended him.
He is severely burned on the face and body.
Premature celebration of the Glorious Fourth caused the
death of 6 year-old Constance GABRICE, of 750 Hewitt
place, the Bronx, last night. While playing with her cousins,
the children of Ignatius WOLSKI, a few doors away, her 
clothing was set afire by a bunch of firecrackers.

29 June 1907
SHOOTS THE FACE OFF BEST FRIEND
Greenwood Guard, Joking With Man Doing Him  Favor, Fatally Wounds Him
         SEEMS LIKE AN ACCIDENT
Shooter Overcome by Grief on Appearance in Court
	Charged with shooting a man whom he has known for
over twenty years and one of his best friends, John R.
SMITH, 34 years old, of 893 Fourth avenue, special
policeman doing duty in the Greenwood Cemetery,
appeared before Magistrate NAUMER, in the Fifth 
avenue court to-day, completely unnerved. The shooting,
from all appearances,was entirely accidental. But it may
result in the death of Andrew HANDLING, proprietor of a 
small confectionary and cigar store at 750 Fifth avenue,
who is now lying in the Norwegian Hospital with the side
of his face almost torn off.
SMITH had been connected with the Greenwood Cemetery
as an employee for over fourteen years. Four weeks ago
he obtained a position as a policeman. At night he patrolled
the grounds armed with a Winchester rifle.Last night about
10 o'clock SMITH was walking along the fence inside the
grounds facing Fifth avenue.When he came to Twenty-sixth
street he looked across the avenue and saw lights in 
HANDLING'S store. He shouted over and told HANDLING
to bring him over a cigar.According to SMITH, when he saw
HANDLING approaching with the cigars he shouted to him,
"make it two cigars, and make them good ones. If you don't
I blow your head off." As he shouted this he stumbled against
the fence and his rifle was discharged. When he looked up he
saw HANDLING, who had just a moment before come strolling
across the avenue with a smile on his face holding two cigars
in his hand, lying writhing on the ground, the blood pouring
from a ghastly wound in the left side of his face. SMITH 
became thoroughly frightened and tried to climb over the high
iron fence to reach his friend, but was so weak from fear he 
could not. Then he ran as fast as he could to the building
inside the grounds at Fifth avenue and Thirty-fourth street,
where Capt. HASKELL, chief of the cemetery forces has his
office, where he told the captain all that had happened. The
police at the Fourth avenue station were notified and Sergeant
MCGRATH arrived and took SMITH away as a prisoner.
In the meantime a crowd had collected around the wounded
man and he was carried into his store. Ambulance Surgeon
BAUMGUARD was notified and on his arrival he conveyed
the man to the Norwegian Hospital where it is feared blood
poisoning will set in.The wounded man and SMITH, have been
friends for a number of years and were always joking one
another. HANDLING often worked in the cemetery and they
became acquainted in this manner. SMITH was so affected
in court to-day that his voice was hardly audible and he
trembled from head to foot. He was held in bail for the
examination on July 8.

PLUCKY YOUNG WOMAN CAPTURES HER FOOTPAD
Chases Supposed Robber to His Lair, 
Learns His Name and Has Him Arrested
	On of Brownsville's pretty misses appeared in the New 
Jersey avenue court to-day as complaintant against 
Dominick RARO, 45 years old, of East New York avenue, 
charging him with stealing her watch valued at $35.
The young lady who is Miss Mabel NEIDREID, 19 
years old, resided with her parents at 1725 St. 
Marks avenue. She was walking along East New
York avenue with a friend last night when the alleged
robbery was committed. Miss NEIDREID said as they
went up East New York avenue towards Watkins
street the Italian came upon them and pushing them
to one side asked, in broken English, if they were
not afraid to out alone.
	"I then lifted my hand bag," said Miss NIEDREID " and
struck him a stunning blow over the head." As the bag
struck him the lock opened and her purse and watch,
which were in the bag, fell to the street. Miss NEIDREID
reached down and grabbed her purse, which contained
a few small bills, while the Italian grabbed the watch and
ran with the two young women after him.
Miss NEIDRIED's companion, after chasing the man for
two blocks, became exhausted and dropped out of the
race, while the complaintant still continued after him.
When they reached the tenement house at 3273 East
New York avenue the pursued rushed up the stoop and
into the house. Miss NEIDRIED thought it best not to
follow the man into the tenement and concealed herself
in a doorway on the other side of the street to wait for
him to come out.She stayed in the hallway playing the
part of detective for over two hours till the man returned
to the street, and walked very slowly down East New
York avenue.Miss NEIDRIED followed him and at 
Powell street and East New York avenue she saw a 
young Italian boy speak to the man and pass on towards
her. When the lad reached her she stopped him and
inquired the man's name. The little fellow, not knowing 
what the trouble was and thinking that he was doing a 
good turn for RARO, told her. The young lady, who refused 
to give the name of the girl who was with her, walked into 
the New Jersey avenue court early to-day and secured a 
warrant for RARO's arrest. He pleaded not guilty and was 
held in $1,000 bail for a hearing.

STATIONER AN EASY PREY FOR CLEVER SWINDLER
Max SCHWEIGER, a well-dressed, middle-aged man, 
who said that he lived at 333 East Seventh street, Manhatten, 
was held in $300 bail for a hearing on a charge of grand larceny 
by Magistrate O'REILLY, in the Lee avenue court to-day. The 
complaintant was Israel SHAPIRO, who has a stationary and 
cigar store at 722 Wythe avenue, who charged that SCHWEIGER 
swindled him out of $400 by passing off a quantity of Confederate
money on him.The transaction, it is alleged, took place on the 
fourteenth of last December, when says SHAPIRO, SCHWEIGER 
called upon him and represented himself as SHAPIRO's rich uncle 
who had just come from Austria and was making an extensive tour 
of America.SHAPIRO couldn't recollect ever having heard of 
SCHWEIGER as a relative, but the man made such an impression 
on the stationer that the latter was finally satisfied that SCHWEIGER 
must indeed be his uncle. He told SHAPIRO of an immense estate 
that he owned in Austria, and that some day SHAPIRO would be 
handsomely remembered.The visitor was royally treated by his 
" nephew ", and was about to take his departure when he drew from 
his pocket a wallet containing crisp bills which afterwards turned out 
to be counterfeit Confederate paper. He asked Shapiro to change one
of a $50 denomination. By this time the stationer was willing to do
anything, and so he counted out $50 from a roll of genuine green-
backs and told SCHWEIGER that he had $350 more. The visitor
told the stationer that he would be pleased to take it all, as he
needed it on his journey through this country. After he had parted
from SHAPIRO and his family, SHAPIRO carefully laid away the
Confederate money, and the next day he went to Newark, where
he had business to transact.He went into a bank with the confed-
erate money and learned of its worthlessness. Although detectives
were put on the case they were unable to find SCHWEIGER. 
SHAPIRO kept a sharp lookout and yesterday afternoon he met
the man in Ridge street, Manhatten. SCHWEIGER recognized his
" nephew " and tried to wriggle out of the stationer's grasp, but the
latter kept a tight hold and shouted for help. A policeman came and
when SHAPIRO had explained the cause of the trouble, SCHWEIGER
was taken to the Delancy street police station. The Brooklyn police
were notified and detectives went after SCHWEIGER. In the Lee
avenue court to-day he denied the charge of SHAPIRO, but he was held.

WOMAN SUCCUMBS TO HEAT IN HER HOME
Anna MOORE, 52 years old, of Surf avenue and West Twenty-
second street, was overcome by the heat at her home yesterday
afternoon. She was attended by Ambulance Surgeon HOWARD
and removed to the Reception Hospital.

TO MAKE A SIX-MONTHS TOUR OF EUROPE
Mrs. Mary MCGUIRE, of 139 Oakland street, accompanied by her
son and brother expect to leave in a few days on an extended
visit to their old home in County Mayo, Ireland. They expect to be
gone for about six months and before their return will stop at 
several of the prominent cities in England and on the Continent.

CAN'T FIND BOY WHO WENT THROUGH WALL OF CELL
No trace of Frank DEVITO, the 16-year-old robber who escaped
from the Myrtle avenue court yesterday, by tearing away part of
the brick wall of the building, has been found by the police, who
believe confederates of DEVITO took the bricks from the wall
Thursday night and then replaced them so they could be pushed
out from the inside. DEVITO was placed in the cell with several
other prisoners after he had been held without bail for the Grand
Jury. A negro prisoner stood by the door obstructing the view of 
the court officer, who had charge of the prisoners. While the negro
obstructed the view DEVITO took out the loose bricks and escaped
into an alley. He then climbed a brick wall about eight feet high
and made his escape, which was not discovered until the prisoners
were about to be put in the prison van and conveyed to the Raymond
street jail. Magistrate NAUMER said to-day: " The work was probably
an outside job done on Thursday night. The officers of the court are
absolutely blameless for the escape of the prisoner.Although the
escape was made under my nose, I did not aid the prisoner in 
escaping." The cell from which the prisoner escaped is about twenty
feet in length and ten feet wide. The brickwork of the building which
is very old, is flimsy and the bricks were easily removed.

GIRL WHO WOULD ELOPE GIVEN TO AUNT'S CUSTODY
Magistrate HYLAN, in the Gates avenue court, to-day paroled in the
custody of her aunt, Floy LINN, the 20-year-old girl who tried to elope
at 4 o'clock in the morning on Wednesday and was arrested by 
Policeman TOMFORD, of the Ralph avenue station.Floy's father
has been written to by both the aunt, Mrs. Mattie MASON, and Mrs.
TIETJEN, the court probationary officer to come on and take his
daughter home, but he has paid no attention to the letters so far.
The girl who has been in the Wayside Home since, was given a severe
lecture by the Magistrate to-day, but only smiled at what was being
said. The aunt was told to come to court and report at the first sign
of disobedience from the girl between now and July 31, when the case
will again come up.

30 June 1907
SURROGATE'S RECORDS
The many valuable records in the Surrogate's office are to be re-sorted
under a new system and to be more carefully preserved. A resolution 
has already been passed by the Board of Aldermen calling for an 
appropriation of $2,160, this amount to be used to provide for the 
compensation of laborers employed in the work of re-sorting and caring
for the records in the Surrogate's office. It is stated that the Board
of Estimate will undoubtedly allow this sum to be appropriated.
Charles S. HERVEY, supervising statistician and examiner in the 
Controller's office, has this to say in a report on the matter:
" In the matter of a resolution adopted by the Board of Aldermen May
7, 1907, requesting the Board of Estimate and Apportionment to
authorize the Controller to issue special revenue bonds to the amount
of $2,160 to provide for the payment of compensation of laborers
employed in re-sorting records in the office of the Surrogate of Kings
County, havng been referred by the Board of Estimate and Apportionment
to the Controller for consideration and report and by you to the Board
of Municipal Investigation and Statistics, I beg to submit the following
report:
" An Inquiry by your examiner in the office of the Surrogate of Kings
County discloses the fact that there are at present employed three 
laborers who are engaged in the work of examining all of the official
documents contained in the filing cases, especially those of former years.
" The Surrogate states that this work was found to be necessary, as 
many of the official papers were formerly filed away without any very
definite system of classification. The purpose had been to re-sort all
such papers, making separate files for wills, petitions for accountings,
petitions for administration, records for probate proceedings, etc.
A new and modern equipment for filing, consisting principally of steel
cases, has been installed in the office, and it is the desire of the present
Surrogate that all of the documents in his charge shall be properly
re-sorted, filed and classified before the expiration of his term of office
at the end of the current year.
" It was also stated that considerable confusion and disarrangement of
the papers in the office had resulted from the fact that they had been
moved, part of them to the cellar of the Hall of Records Building, and
another portion to the second floor, pending the final opening of the new
offices, where they are now located.
" The compensation of the laborers employed on this work is at the rate
of $60 per month. The amount requested, $2,160, the Surrogate says will
enable him to employ three or four additional men and permit of the 
completion of the work before the first of January 1908.
" In view of the facts as ascertained by your examiner, I would respect-
fully suggest that you recommend concurrence by the Board of Estimate
and Apportionment in the resolution of the Board of Aldermen, May ( ink
stain) authorizing the issue of special rev ( ink stain ) the amount 
specified."

HIT HIM HARD THAT HE MIGHT 
         ESCAPE DEATH
Beach Rescuer Who Knew HIs
Business Resorted to Heroic 
              Measures
CLUBBED A DROWNING MAN
             WITH AN OAR

Two men effected a heroic rescue in Gravesend Bay,
off the foot of Bay Twenty-sixth street, Bath Beach, 
yesterday afternoon, after one of them had nearly
been drowned in the attempt and after the rescued
one was hit over the head with an oar, knocked into
unconsciousness and in this condition taken to the
shore and safety.
William E. FARRIN, 25 years old, of Bay Twentieth
street and Bath avenue, Bath Beach, was out rowing
in a small boat when the storm burst. The wind kicked
up a little squall and FARRIN started toward the bow
of the boat to get his coat. As he was walking forward
the boat tipped and he was pitched into the water. He
was about six hundred feet off the shore, opposite Bay
Twenty-sixth street. A number of bathers were standing
under the pier at the time and on seeing the man strug-
gling in the water started at once to the rescue.
Fred REILLY, of Bay Twenty-sixth street, and Bernard
TUTHILL were the first to reach him. REILLY seized 
FARRIN by the shoulders and started to pull him toward
the shore. FARRIN threw his arms about REILLY and
dragged him beneath the surface of the water. Both men
sank and TUTHILL, who was swimming around waiting
for them to come up, saw an oar floating nearby. This
he grabbed and when the two, still clasped in each other's
arms, came to the surface, TUTHILL struck FARRIN a 
terrific blow over the head, rendering him unconscious.
With him in this condition it was easy for the rescuers
to take him to the shore.
Once on the beach two doctors who were among the 
bathers, started in on the work of resuscitation. They
worked over him for fully thirty minutes and finally were
rewarded by seeing him open his eyes. He revived
sufficiently to be taken to his home, where it is said that
he is now out of danger.

AND MOTHER SITS AT WINDOW, DISTRACTED*
If twelve-year-old Charles Edward VAN, whose home is at 335
Ralph avenue, should happen to read this story and wants to
probably save his mother's life, or at least spare her much
heart-rending anguish, he will hasten to his home as fast as
possible. Charles, or Edward, as his is known started out Friday
morning ostensibly to go to Public School No.144, on Howard
avenue and Prospect place, where he is a pupil. Just before he
started his mother told him that he had better put on his best
clothes so that he would be presentable for promotion, as it was
the closing day of school. Charles said he did not want to, and 
the mother began to question him. "Don't you think you are going
to be promoted?" " No, I don't think I am," answered the boy.
On being asked why he thought so he replied, "Well, I know a boy
who saw the list of promotions, and my name was not there."
The mother questioned him some more, and after a short time 
found out that he had not been in attendance at the school for 
several months, and had been playing truant when the promotion
examinations were taking place. She told him to dress in his good
clothes and go to school anyway and find out if he was promoted,
telling him that if he had not been he would be properly punished
when he came home. On a few occasions before the boy had
played truant and his father had given him severe chastisement.
The boy left the house, and since then he has not been seen by
his family. He did not return to his home, and Friday night at 11
o'clock his parents gave him up as having run away.His father, 
Benjamin VAN, reported his disappearance to the police, and a
general alarm has been sent out for him. The saddest part of the
case is, however, the blow that the boy's running  away inflicted
on his mother. Since 11 o'clock Friday night, when it became 
apparent that he had run away, she has been sitting at the front
window of their home, straining her eyes for a sight of her 
wandering boy. She has steadfastly refused to leave the window,
and late this morning she was still there waiting for the return of
"Eddie". The strain of the worry is fast wearing her out, and her
husband thinks that he will have to summon a physcian to attend her.

TOMBS PRISONER ATTEMPTS TO  DASH OUT BRAINS IN CELL
Locked up as a prisoner in the Tombs prison, Manhatten, on a trivial 
complaint, Thomas MCGIVIGAN, of Roxbury, Mass., made an attempt
to kill himself last night by dashing his brains out against his cell door.
He succeeded only in inflicting slight scalp wounds, and is now in the
prison hospital. MCGIVIGAN was awaiting a hearing. Last night the
guards were attracted to his cell by an awful racket. They arrived in 
time to see him taking flying dashes across the narrow cell, dashing
his skull against the bars. A charge of attempted suicide will probably
be placed against him in addition to the other accusation.

police last evening Mrs RASER added that her husband never reached
the store where he worked, and as he had $150 in his possession she was 
afraid he had met with foul play.
Mrs. RASER is a comely woman of about 22, and her husband is the same
age. They have been married only a short time. She nearly fainted while she
was in the police station. She declared her husband had never before been

AT 102, HE SCOFFS AT ABSTAINERS
Josiah ZEITLEIN still takes his "morning's Morning" and his "nightcap"
Josiah ZEITLEIN, who lives with his daughter, Mrs. Isaac KRINSKY, at 
136 Lexington avenue, will celebrate his 102nd birthday on Wednesday.  
Still strong and vigorous, he looks to be thirty or fourty years younger 
than he is.
His appetite is as hearty as that of many a youth- in fact, there are few 
persons who would not hesitate to eat as hearty a breakfast as this 
centenarian was attacking when called upon at his home yesterday.
Mr. ZEITLEIN was born in Lodz, Russian Poland, July 3, 1805.He has been in 
this country twenty-five years, but can speak nothing but his native tongue. 
A black skullcap surmounts his flowing white hair ans he has the typical 
beard of a Russian patriarch.
Any one looking for a theory of longevity in Mr. ZEITLEIN will be sadly 
disappointed, especially if the usual total abstinence
theorist is looking for an exemplar. The old man takes a drink whenever he 
wants to.He has to have his "eye opener", his "nightcap", and as many drinks 
between as he wishes. He is especially fond of  beer and whiskey and has 
his favorite brands of wine for occasions. He smokes regularly and eats 
without discrimination.
When Mr. ZEITLIN (misspelled in the article)was 100 years old his picture 
adorned the advertisement of a well known whiskey tonic. He has a medal and 
other tokens of his age from his relatives, and is proud of the fame which 
his age and accomplishments have brought him.When asked how much longer he 
expected to live, all he would say was:
"we never know what will happen to-morrow"
His daughter ventured the opinion that he was good for at least four years more.  
He has never been sick, although lately his feet have been bothering him. 
Mr ZEITLIN (spelled that way in the article) has four sons, two of whom 
live in Chicago, one in the Bronx, and one in Brooklyn, and fourteen grandchildren.

Twenty -seven young women, Chaperoned by Mrs. Mary S. HAYNES,are starting 
for Silver Bay, Lake George, where they will represent the Brooklyn Young Women's 
Christian Association at the annual conference of Eastern City Young Women's 
Christian Associations. The party will go by the night boat to Albany, thence 
to-morrow morning by the Delaware and Hudson Railroad to Caldwell, and after a 
two hours' sail down beautiful Lake George, will reach Silver Bay at 1 o'clock, 
in time for luncheon.

Greenpoint-NAGLE"S INDIANS EXHAUST THE RED PAINT SUPPLY
The name Nagle's Indians has always been synonomous with a good 
time, but what this hearty tribe of redskins did on Sunday last was 
certainly a collection of good times welded into one day of pleasure.
It was the occasion of the club's annual outing, an event looked 
forward to for weeks in joyous expectation, which a threatening day 
would not dispel.And they were all there, that is all the members 
and a host of friends,until Donnelly's College Point Grove fairly 
groaned with a good time.
Breakfast is usually a meal of the early morning hours, but although 
it was high noon before the popular Long Island Resort was reached, 
all agreed that breakfast, standing as it does for the start, must 
usher in the festivities. There were bright speeches galore, and 
then breakfasters dispersed, each to follow his favorite amusement.
The atletic events on the programme were so well arranged and the finishes 
so close and exciting as to call forth much favorable comment and the 
athletic committe came in for no end of congratulations. 
The several events were won by the following:
100-Yard dash- 
James MC KEON ,first; 
Thomas HIGGINS, second

Fat Man's Race- 
Jerry DORAN, first; 
Dave DUGAN, second

Sack Race- 
James GOODMAN, first; 
Patrick SLATTERY, second

Three Legged Race- 
RYAN and FINN, first; 
MC CAULEY and GALLAGHER, second

There was a ball game between the team of the Rod and Gun club and the 
Indians,but before the contest was over the national pastime had become
a laughing farce with so many in the leading roles as to be past mention.
James MC MULLEN, a full-blooded redskin, gave an exhibition war dance 
which the press agent would say, "brought down the house"
As afternoon was fast becoming twilight, supper was served up 
to the tired warriors and the march for the wilds of Greenpoint 
and home was begun, although their safe arrival is merely a matter 
of conjecture until the next roll call.The officers to whom much 
of the day's pleasure may be attributed to are;
John V Dennis NAGLE, standard bearer;
Peter GOODMAN, president; 
James BOWE, vice-president;
John M MARTIN, second vice president; 
Fred STEINBACK, secretary.
 
Arrangement committee-
Daniel MC MULLEN, 
Samuel VAUGHN,

TWO LOST CHILDREN FOUND IN BROWNSVILLE
Two small boys, one 4 years old, and the other 3 years old, were picked up 
in Brownsville late last night and turned over to the Society for the 
Prevention of Cruelty to Children. The elder child, a bright little dark 
haired lad, was found by Officer MC CORMACK at Sutter and Rockaway avenues.  
The little fellow was standing on the corner watching the trolley cars passing, 
and as it was after 11 o'clock the officer asked him what his name was and 
where he lived. The little fellow said that his home was "a long ways" off 
and that he was waiting for his Mamma. MC CORMACK decided that the best thing 
to do was to take the child to the Brownsville Station, where a general alarm 
for the parents was sent out.
Later in the evening, one of the patrolmen discovered a little fellow about 
three years old standing on the corner of stine avenue and Bergen street. 
As the child could give no decided answer as to where he lived he also was 
taken to the Brownsville precinct.
Both children were almost starved, and Matron BEAMAN hadto send to a 
nearby store and purchase some crackers and milk for them before they were 
taken to the Children's Society.

FARMERS TO GO ARMED
It was learned today that the Richmond Hill Police have obtained a 
clue which it is expected will lead to an arrest in the case of 
Farmer Christopher BRAAS, who was murdered and robbed while driving home 
from market early yesterday morning near Forest Hill.
Captain DARCY, of the Richmond Hill station, with Central Office detectives, 
had been at work constantly on the case, and is said to have discovered a 
trail of the men who are suspected of having committed the crime.  It is 
likely there  will be one or more arrests within twenty-four hours. There is 
a strong suspicion that the higwaymen were from Brooklyn.
The murder of BRAAS has caused much excitement and indignation among 
the Long Island farmers and truck gardeners, and hereafter they will go 
heavily armed while driving to and from market.
It is said that it has been a common practice of some of the farmers while 
driving home from market to fall asleep on their wagons, trusting to their 
horses to find their way along the country roads,with which the 
animals are so familiar.

Dr. E.M. BILLWINCKLE, of 85 South Ninth street, however,. ordered the mans 
removal to the hospital as soon as he saw his condition.
On the charge of being implicated in the assault on HACKETT, Bernard BURNS, 
of 378 Grand street, was arrested last night by detectives of the Bedford 
avenue station, and they say that when they took him to the hospital HACKETT 
identified him as one of his assailants. In the Leo avenue court 
Magistrate HIGGINBOTHAM held BURNS in $500 bail for a hearing.

GIRLS STORY OF DRUGGING DISPROVED BY POLICE.
The mystery surrounding Miss Elvena LUDENDORFF,19 years old, of 
1111 Decatur street, a young woman who was found by two B.R.T. employees 
Wednesday night, lying in a stupefied candition in a vacant lot on Thirty-seventh 
street, between Fourth and Fifth avenues,. and who is now in the Norweigan 
Hospital, has been cleared up by the police of the Fourth avenue station and 
it has been learned that the story she told of being drugged and assaulted is false.
Miss LUDENDORFF, when first questioned said that she was an actress and that on 
Wednesday afternoon, just as she was coming out of the Fourth avenue entrance 
to Greenwood Cemetery, where she had been decorating the grave of a friend, 
she was accosted by a stranger,who told her he hadsomething to tell her in 
confidence. He then asked her to accompany him and together they went to the 
lot, which is surrounded by a high board fence, where she was attacked. She 
also said that before they entered the lot the man had offered her a drink of 
water from a nearby fountain and she was certain that he put in some powder 
which rendered her unconscious.  Capt. DEVANEY has learned that the young woman 
had for two months been visiting Coney with a young man living on Forty-seventh 
street. Physicians at the hospital say she was not assaulted, but she evidently 
had been without food for several days and, they think, dropped down from 
exhaustion when she left an "L" train to meet her friend. She will be detained 
a few days at the hospital and then permitted to return home.
