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.

and internal injuries.  In the Lee avenue court to-day BAKER and 
FRANZIER were held for a hearing on a charge of assault.

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.
