York. "It is quito likely that something will be done, but how can you expect mo to talk before tho meeting?" "Are there any transfers in contemplation?" Mr. York as asked. "I cannot say "that there are," wa3 tho answer. "Is it not the purpose to send Captain Sbcrt from the Eastern District to some other precinct?" "I will not speak about that at all," returned Mr.

York. "All things are possible, of course, but how can I tell just now what may be done. If there is anything done at the meeting to day you'll hear of It." "Then the meeting 13 to be a public one?" suggested the reporter. "No, indeed," replied Mr. York.

"But if there is anything of public interest to be given out after adjournment the newspaper men will get it." "Have you any reply to make to Mr. Shevlln's statement In the Eagle yesterday to the effect that the police force was a trust?" asked the reporter. "Did he cay that the board was a trust?" asked Mr. York. "Tho board is In no sense a trust.

That was wrong." "Mr. Shevlin said 'force' and not the reporter sucgosted. "Oh, that's different," replied Mr. York. "What have you to say concerning tho statements of Mr.

Shevlin in that interview?" asked the reporter. "I have to say that Mr. Shevlin Is a very good friend of mine and I do not care to talk about his interview," was Mr. York's reply. He was about to speak of the fact that there were concert hall licenses existing in the Eastern District, but before he had much time to talk further a DeKalb avenue car came along on Its way to Manhattan and Mr.

York jumped op that In a hurry to get to bis Mulberry street office. The meeting of the board was called for 11 o'clock, but Mr. York explained that one of the commissioners had been called away for a time and that the meoting would not be held until much later. McLaughlin Begins to Investigate the Eastern District. Deputy Chief McLaughlin was In his office when a reporter called there to ask him about poscible transfers, the condition things in the Eastern District and other subjects connected with the extension of vice in the borough.

The Deputy Chief was not inclined to admit that there was so much vice in the Eastern District and suggested that the story in the Eagle wao slightly "Of course," confessed the Deputy Chief, "I do not know much about It from my own knowledge "You have made no personal investigation interrupted the reporter. "H'm," said the Deputy Chief, clearing his throat. "That's about tho size of it. I have not gone over to see these places, but I have reports from the captains. It ie.true that I went to the Eastern District personally about the gambling houses before Inspector Druhan made tie raids.

but. as far as the concert halls and places of vice are concerned, I havemade no personal examination. But I am willing to go. "I will gay that I have all the stories cut from the Eaglo and I am now engaged in an invps leation. Indeed, I have men on their Off Short Beach Dismasted and Signaling for Help.

Fire Island, L. November 19 The Oak Island life saving station reports that an unknown ship is about five miles off shore at Short Beach, west of Oak Island, in distress. She is dismasted and has signaled for assistance. She appears to be a three masted bark and only has the foremast standing and the lower part of mainmast with one yard on it. BRIDGE ORDINANCE SIGNED.

Mayor Van Wyck has ofgned the Blackwell's Island bridge ordinance authorizing the construction of a bridge between Manhattan and Queens Borough. This ordinance has been held up for more than a year in the Municipal Assembly. The bridge will cost, it Is estimated, about $12,000,000, with all the land needed. FOUND IN THE NORTH RIVER. A man's body was found at the foot of West One Hundred and Eighth street, Manhattan, in the North River this morning.

The body was that ot a man of 40 years, 5 feet 7 inches tall, 150 pounds weight, of dark com plexion and eyes, smooth face, bald, clad in dark coat and vest, striped trousers, patent leather shoes, red stockings. The body was taken to the Morgue. SHOT THROUGH THE WINDJQW. Attempt Made by an Unknown to Kill the Corneille Family at Bay Shore. (Special to the Eagle.) Bay Shore, L.

November 19 This community has been much stirred up over the attempted shooting of Mrs. Lydia Corneille, her daughter. Miss Nellie Corneille, and her son, Rufus Corneille, at their dwelling at Awixa avenue. Bay Shore, on Saturday night last. The family were sitting with their watchman in the kitchen at the rear of their house about a quarter of nine o'clock.

They were stunned by the discharge ot a gun through a window. Following came the rattling of a heavy charge of shot and a sec ond charge, accompanitd by a flash of light. Two or three large panes of glas3 were blown out and an inside plate glass sash was com pletely shattered. A hole nearly three inches in diameter was made In the inner sash and the opposite side of the kitchen wall was perforated by countless shot holes. Young Corneille Jumped to his feet and grabbing his revolver, fired several shots in the direction from which the gun discharges came.

In the excitement of the moment the intended assassin was not pursued. The authorities were at once notified and Constable Nelson of Islap, with a squad of men started a search. Yesterday morning a wrapper which had been saturated with carbolic acid and had evidently been around a bottle was found under the window. The family say they are satisfied that they know who didi the shooting. Ilavld Hennessey, a former Brooklyn real estate man, who has been arrested several times charged with threatening to do harm to the family and who Is now under $1,000 bonds to keep peace as the result of an attack some time 'ago upon the family, has been missing since Saturday afternoon and the story has been circulated that he has committed suicide.

Henessey was 60 year3 old a bachelor and lived with Mrs. Corneille for nearly yeare. Several years ago Hennessey turned over to Mrs. Corneille $40,000 worth of real estate in Gold street, Brooklyn. In consideration bt this she allowed him 33tt a wees tor nis liv ing expenses.

About, two years ago, owing to the fact ot his drinking neaviiy, as sne saia, she refused to have anything to do with him. He began a suit for the recovery of his property, which was taken to the Supreme Court. It came before Judge Dickey and he lost the case. Since that time he has been very much discouraged. The people in the neighborhood are divided in their sympathy in the matter.

None of the Corneille family was injured physically, but were much prostrated by the unexpected attack. The police authorities are still hunting for a clue, but have as yet learned nothing definite in regard to the attack itself, nor of the whereabouts of Hen nessy. MC CALLA COURT OF INQUIRY. Trouble Between the Commander and Lieutenant Commander Colwell to Be Passed Upon. Washington, November 19 The proceedings in the case ot Captain McCalla is a court of Inquiry and not a court martial.

The Navy Department was advised some time ago that trouble had arisen between Captain McCalla, commanding the Newark, and Lieutenant Commander John C. Colwell, formerly naval attache at London and now executive officer ot the ship. While the department wa3 acquainted with the fact, it left the matter to the commander in chief of the station. Admiral Remey, to adjust. He has now found it necessary to appoint a court of inquiry, which will determine the merits of the dispute between the two officers.

Should this tribunal recommend a court martial In the case of Captain McCalla, It would be necessary to relieve him immediately from his command and order him to tho United States, for there are not a sufficient number of officers of the requisite rank the Asiatic station to form a court martial for a captain. CZAR CONTINUES TO IMPROVE. He Passed a Good Day and Night and His Strength Is Well Maintained. Livadia, European Russia, November 19 Tho Czar continues to improve in health. The bulletin issued by his physicians to day says: "The Emperor passed a good day yesterday.

At 9 o'clock in the evening his temperature was 101.2, and his pulse 72. His majesty psssed a very good night. This morning his condition is excellent. His strength is well maintained. "At 9 o'clock this morning his temperature was 100.7; pulse, GS." Parl3, November 19 The DIx Neuvieme Slecle to day prints a special dispatch from St.

Petersburg, eaylng that the physicians having announced that the illness of the Czar will continue for some time, a regency is under consideration to act till the Czar's complete recovery. Tho Grand Duke Vladimir, uncle of the Czar, It Is added, is mentioned as regent. WILL START ON ARCH THURSDAY. Deputy Commissioner ot Highways Shannon said this morning that the demolition ot the Dewey Arch itself would probably commence next Thursday night. So far the men at work in taking down the colonnade have taken away the six columns north of the arch.

Tonight the columns on the south of the arch will be worked on and it Is expected that two columns a night will be removed. At that rate, the cix columns will be down by Wednesday night and on Thursday the men will commence on the Dewey Arch. Poland! Poland! Poland! Poland! In the purest natural spring water in the world. 'ME TO BE REDUCED. In the Latter Department 47 5 Men Are to Be Laid Off.

APPROPRIATIONS CUT DOWN. For a "Sear Street Cleaners Worked Pive Days a Week, hut They Demurred, So Now They Go. There Is much perturbation among the employes of the Department of Parks and of the Department of Street Cleaning. The former have received notice that about 475 men are to be laid off. The cause is said to be that the appropriation for the coming years will not support all of the employes.

For the same reason the Street Cleaning Department will discharge from 150 to 200 men in the next few days. Since January every man ot the department has been working five, instead ot six, days in the week. It was found at that time that the appropriation for the purpose cleaning the streets was not sufficient to carry on the work. Some means had to be devised to have the work done and still not exceed the appropriation. A plan was finally adopted.

Deputy Com. Quinn Informed the men of this plan. It was that, while he could discharge a large number of men, if he so wished, he would rather have each man take a day off. He thought that would straighten the matter out. But it was also said that this state of affaire would last for only two or three months.

The men agreed to tho scheme, which, under the circumstances, was the only thing that they could do. Five days a week work was better than no work at all, and if they demurred one man was as likely to lose his place as another. Since that time the men have been working five days a week and have not at any time seen relief in prospect. The full pay schedule did not go into effect. The wages of a street cleaner are $13.85 per week.

They have been getting since January a little over $10.50. When the two or three months, after which it had been promised to the men that they would again receive their full wages, went by, there was considerable fault finding among them. They did it quietly, however. A committee was appointed by the Street Sweepers' Association to lay the matter before the Central Labor Union. Although the union has not been able to help the sweepers it made an effort to do so.

A committee appointed by the union called upon Commissioner Quinn but did not accomplish anything. Mr. Quinn was seen this morning in regard to the matter. Ho said: "The men will not be compelled to com plain about this long. I shall make a number of discharges shortly; then all who remain will be put on full pay." When asked what tj reason for discharg ing the men was, he am nhHtred to do it becawse the appro priatlon is $25,000 less than that of last year.

I am obliged to keep within the appropriation. I know it will be hard on the men but I gave them the option once of taking one day off during the work or having from 150 to 200 men laid off." The edict of Park Commissioner Brower, It is 'expected, will go into immediately. It will affect about 475 employes, including some twenty five at more pe diem employes of whom several are women. BROKER FOUND DEAD. He Had Been Dying on a Sofa in His Room Albert R.

Edey, '58 years old, a broker. living at 121 Lincoln place, was found dead In his room yesterday afternoon. Mr. Edey boarded at the address given. Not having been seen about the house during the day a domestic went up to his room to see if anything was the matter.

She found him lvihg dead on the sofa. He was fully dressed and across his chest was a newspaper which he had apparently been reading. Dr. J. E.

Langstaff. of 19 Seventh avenue, was summoned and he informed Coroner Burger or Mr Edey's death. Coroner Burger and his staff physician. Dr. Emil F.

Hartung, made an examination and said that death was due to apoplexy. f'DOPING" EXPOSE A FARCE. Much Advertised Meeting in Xondon Attracts a Few Americans and Unknown Sports. London, November 19 The much advertised meeting called for to day to consider the "doping" ot horses resulted In a farce. A handful of unknown "sports," a few Americans and a number of veterinary surgeons composed the audience.

Several of the speakers said they believed the American jockeys used electrical appliances, but no evidence to that effect was produced. The meeting finally resolved into a discussion between American and English trainers, whereupon the chairman remarked that the' subject of the meeting was lost sight of, and invited all present who knew anything about "doping" to hold up their hands. There was no response and there the matter ended. BALTIMORE AND OHIO DIRECTORS. Baltimore, November ID At the annual stockholders' meeting of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, held in this city to day, the resignations of Alexander Brown of this city, J.

The incorporators are Antonio de Martlno, Gio vnnni Esposlto, Luciano Filore and Michele Polito. Poland! Poland! Poland! Poland: is the purest natural spring water in the Adv. THE ENEMIES OF Without Taking an Op en Part in Tam the Fight Against th many Leader HE HAS HOPES FOR C0LER.

Would Like to See the Controller CJst on the Citizens' Union Ticket for Mayor. When ex Senator David B. Hill was in town, last week he saw only one or two of his pollt ical friends, but he told them that he expected to return in a week or two and could then consult with them about an anti Tammany combination in the Democratic party. Mr. Hill may give advice, but does not propose to take any open part in the plans, for the Teason that that is not according.

to his code of political ethics. Hill is, and ways has been, a great home ruler. He i3 ready to give advice, however, and is greatly interested in humiliating Mr. Croker. The plans for the overthrow ot Croker in New York have not yet reached any very, definite shape and are.

to a certain extent, complicated by the approaching municipal campaign. Senator Hill is understood to be of the opinion, however, that the best way for the opponents of the Tammany chief to get rid of Croker is to bring about the defeat of his candidate for Mayor next year. For that reason It is understood that he would be glad to see his friend Controller. Coler nominated for Mayor by the Citir Q3' Union. The negotiations to this end have not proceeded very far, and can be carried on only with the greatest difficulty.

It is understood that in the Citizens' Union people are not all friendly to Mr. Coler. While he has a great many friends amongthe independents, there are others who think that the chances for the success of a non partisan ticket would oe endangered by bringing Into the discussion a man who would be objectionable to manv Republicans. Senator Piatt's position toward Coler. it Is argued, would make his indorsement by the Republican party impossible.

Neither machine nor Independent Republicans are disposed to help along Senator. Hill's plans for the rehabilitation of the Democratic party in this state. They say that there is no reason why Republicans should help Hill in his fight with Croker. So far the Citizens' Union people have kept aloof from all talk of candidates, and the leaders in the movement say they will continue to do so until the proper time for such discussion arrives. Secretary Thomas A.

Fulton was at the headquarters of the Union, 42 East Twenty third street, Manhattan, to day. He announced that there had been a great increase in the number of signers of the manifesto issued last week. About fifty additional men have volunteered their support, most ot whom aro Brooklynites. Organization work has not yet commenced in Brooklyn. Fulton said that care would be exercised to obtain the support ot men who were in thorough, sympathy with the purposes of the Union.

There has been a suspicious readiness on the part of this or that political club to join the movement. The Union does not intend to be swamped by Tammany men or partisan Republicans. The next meeting of the union will be held next Sunday night. It will be the regular monthly meeting and no particular significance is attached to It. The' leaders of the union are anxious to secure the Interest and support of the labor men and place a great deal of reliance on their support in next year's campaign.

This includes many of the men In sympathy with Henry George. Some assurances of support from this source have already been obtained. Just when Senator Hill will be in town la not known. He came here last week to consult with the lawyers who are to test the franchise tax law, which is to be argued in the Court of Appeals soon. Mr.

Hill counts on stirring up a good deal of trouble in the Tammany ranks before Croker's return. If the latter should stay away until next July. The Board of County Canvassers this morning completed the canvass of the vote in the Eighth Congressional District, Manhattan, and announced the official figures as follows: Creamer, Van Cott, 10,079. Creamer's majority, therefore, is 251, nearly 100 votes more than the Democrats claimed. TO STUDY TRAMP PROBLEM.

BOY SHOT IN LEG During Quarrel Between Italians and United States Sailors. William Grife, 7 years old. ot 67 Van Brunt street, is in the Long Island College Hospital to day as the result of a pistol shot wound in the right leg, inflicted yesterday afternoon during a quarrel between three United States sailors and two Italians at Sackett and Van Brunt streets.

The quarrel originated when an Italian bicyclist collided with one of the sailors. The tar retaliated by breaking the wheel. Vin cenca Caemetto. 27 years old. of 71 Sackett street.

It Is said, fired a shot from his revolver and the shot, instead of striking the sailor, hit the boy. The Italian was held on two separate charges in the Butler street court to day, bonds in $1,000 in each case being required. ARRAIGNED FOR KILLING WOMAN Bernard McCormlck, the bartender of the Vesta Hotel at Fulton street and Vesta avenue, who on the night ot November 1 shot and instantly killed Nellie Van Vliet, while trying to shoot Leon Guerln of 205 Patchen avenue, was again arraigned before Magistrate Worth In the Gates avenue court this morning. McCormlck had been found responsible by Coroner Delap for the death of the young woman. At the request of the District Attorney's office, another adjournment was taken until November 21.

BABY SCALDED TO DEATH. Helen Grant, 1 year old, was scalded yesterday morning by the upsetting of a pot of hot tea, while sitting in a high chair at the table, at 377 South Fourth street. She was removed to St. Catharine's Hospital, where she died. Poland! Poland! Poland Poland! Is the purest natural Bprlng water In the world.

Adv. THE BIG This Year's Exhibition Promises to Be the Greatest in History of Organization. SOCIETY WELL REPRESENTED. Judging in Twelve Clnsses Began This Morning Beceipts From Boxes Exceeds Previous Total by $10,000. The sixteenth annual horse show of the National Horse Show Association of America, which will claim the attention of society for a week, opened this morning in Madison Square Garden.

When the bugle sounded at 9 o'clock tho attendance was not large. It never is the morning of the opening day. Doubtless the mild Indian summer weather and tho bright sunshine kept many people out of doors to day who under less favorable conditions would have visited tho big garden. Unless marred by something unforeseen, this year's Horse Show is expected to eclipse any held by the association. Something like $10,000 more was paid for the boxes this year than ever before, and theie are 200 more entries than at any of the previous shows.

Many of the old favorites are entered, and there are newcomers enough to make matters' uncertain and interesting. The big ring which has been built in the center of the Garden, and in which the thoroughbreds will be shown, is declared to be the best ever devised. It is of clay soil brought from a distance and covered with three inches of tanbark, making a firm but springy footing, which will aid the high bred animals to step their prettiest. Around this ring extends a plank promenade, where society will parade each day and night while the horses are on exhibition. From the promenade there is one mass of orange and black bunting draped and festooned artistically on the front of the boxes to the reserved seats and balconies.

The people who remained away from the Garden this morning missed a very pleasing exhibition by hunters and jumpers. There were less than 100 people seated In the boxes and balconies when the first of the sixty two horses competing in this class was led into the ring. The proud attendants Were, apparently very much pleased by reason of this, for it gave them an opportunity to watch the work of the horses. Tho grooms, dressed In white trousers, buff Jackets and wearing caps of orange and black, the official colors of the show, crowded to the rail, while the programme boys in white skin tight trousers, orange and black blouses and caps to match, forgot to shout "programmes" and also became spectators: When the gates opened there was an animated scene. The horses, with arched necks and proud steps and glossy coats, which vied with the silk hats cn the heads of the men who owned them, seemed to have almost human intelligence as they took their places.

At. that hour there were not many women present. There was one, however, who was highly pleased and plainly showed her Joy. This was a young woman neatly gowned in blue and. wearing a gray hat.

She occupied a box in the Madison avenue end of the Garden and by her talk seemed to bo more familiar with the horses and their ways than either of the three men who. accompanied Esr. Abont 11 o'clocft visitors bijgan to wander about in the Garden and at noon there was a fringe of people occupying the seats. Women, young women, wearing expensive gowns made for the occasion were largely In the majority. This afternoon, when the judging of.

saddle ponies began, many of the boxes we're occupied. Scattered, about the Garden in various positions were forty policemen under command of Sergeant Sheldon, assisted by Roundsmen Gilhooly of Inspector Thompson's staff and Cahlll of the Bicycle Squad. Everything was In readiness for the commencement of the show. The day before the finishing touches had been put on the work of preparing the Garden for the advent of the prize winners. and the horses whose owners expected to win prizes.

The management of the show states that the prospects for the success of the show, both in a financial and social sense, were never better at any of the preceding exhibitions. More horses are entered and of a better class, higher prices have been paid for the boxes for tho seasou, and everything bids fair to make the show a great success. As against thlreen hundred entries last year, there are nearly fifteen hundred this season. Many horses appear in different classes, and the actual number of animals under the roof of the Garden at the opening to day was 809. This number of animals represents 316 owners, as against only 244 individual exhibitors last season.

The largest exhibitors are Thomas W. Lawson, F. C. Stevens, Eben D. Jordan of Boston, C.

J. and Harry Hamlin, Clarence H. Mackey, Eugene S. Reynal, George Pepper. Thomas L.

Watt. Joseph E. Albert C. Bostwick, William H. Barnhard, Mrs.

R. F. Carman, A. J. Cassatt and Adam Beck.

The ring committee for to day and to r.lght are Colonel De Lancey A. Kane and George Peabody Wetmore, during the day, and William C. Whitney and William H. Tailerfl for the evening performance. While, as usual, the Brooklyn and Long Island entries at the Horse Show are large, there are a number of absentees who.

for several years past, have been prominently in the field. Perhaps the most noticeable of these are J. H. Shults, owner of the Park ville Farm, and Harry Shults. who Is accredited with being one ot the best whips in the country The only Shults who appears as a nominator is Mrs.

D. B. Shults of 140 Amity street. Brooklyn. However, there are numerous other local nominators, among them being Miss Emily H.

Bedford's Rsdbury, which is perhaps the best saddle horse in tho country. F. G. Bourne of Oakdale. L.

has entries In nineteen classes; A. K. Bourne, three entries; Miss Marion Bourne, two entries, and Miss May Bourne, two entries. The Briehthomo Stud of Roslyn, L. has entries In the thoroughbred racing class, and with apparently some chanco of success.

Richard F. Carman and Mrs. R. F. Carman have entries In nlno classes, Mrs.

Carman In eight and Mr. Carman In Frank T. Clarke, the urbane superintendent of the Shecpshead Bay Raco Track, has nlso decided to try his luck in tho show ring and has entered Ben Viking in the thoroughbred class. C. G.

Cozlne of 364 Macon street, also has five entries. The always ready Father Bill Daly has also decided that the horse show arena offers inducements which perhaps are wrf.h considering, and has entered his Carroll Daly In the stallion 2 rear old trotter class. Captain Del Bosco. formerly riding master of tho Brooklyn Riding and Driving Club, has a fine horse in the saddle horse class which the Captain thinks cannot be beaten. Mrs.

F. W. Duryea and Mrs. W. N.

Dyk man also have made entries, the former in two classes and the latter in one. Tho Ger kendale Farm, at Kings Highwav and the Boulevard, have increased thoir entries this season to 18 classes. Miss Ella F. Knowlton of 87 Remsen street also has an entry in the saddle horse class, and Theodore Offorman has entered In two of the harness horse classes. Howard S.

Starrett. and J. Stevensen, are each in ono class, and W. J. Steele Is entered In three.

Ruth Wellington of 833 St. Marks avenue has two classes at her mercy, and Samuel Wtllels of Rosyn, L. Is to try in four classes. While many Brooklynites are missing, who have shown heretofore, enough are left to mako Brooklyn's chances good for prizes. "This follows: ClnsR i2 Tumpiru?

POLICE ASTIR IN BROOKLYN. Detectives From Headquarters Sent to the Eastern District to Investigate the Eagle's Exposure. The Police Board at 2:30 this afternoon formulated charges against Inspector Adam Cross and Captain Herlihy. These officials were in charge ol the so called Red Light District in Manhattan, where vicious conditions have especially flagrant. Their treatment of a minister of the Episcopal Church was the basis of Bishop Potter's scathing letter to the Mayer.

Herlihj' was transferred from the district on Saturday night. Inspector Cross and Captain Herlihy are both accused of inefficiency, conduct unbecoming officers and gentlemen, and failure to suppress vice In their district. The Police Board has sent a letter to Bishop Potter requesting him to obtain witnesses In the case against Cross and Herlihy and ask Ink him to retain counsel to look after the Interests that his church represents. The Police Board has also decided to engage conusel to prosecute the accused officers. The cases of official dereliction In Brooklyn were not considered by the Police Board to day.

The board met at headquarters shortly after noon, in a session specially called by President York to cpnsider the letter sent to the board by Mayor Van Wyck in regard to the' charges made by Bishop Potter. President Ycrk made an effort to get the board together at 11 o'clock to day, but they did not assomblo until ,12:20. All the members I the were present except Commissioner who is Hi. There was an Impression outside that a statement or letter to the Mayor will be made public at the close of the meeting. Captains.

Herlihy. and Titus called at headquarters shortly after noon to day. Captain Titus went to Inspector Cross' room and Captain Herlihy to Inspectors Brooks' office. Beth declined to say anything. LOCAL POLICE AROUSED.

Detectives Sent to the Eastern District to Investigate the Eagle's Disclosures. There was activity in the office of Deputy fchief McLaughlin, in local police headquarters on Smith street this morning. It was ilear that the disclosures published In the Eagle yesterday morning concerning the condition of affairs in the Eastern District had something to do with the Interest, manifested by Mr. McLaughlin, and, incidentally, by Bernard J. York, the president of the Police Board, in work at headquarters to day.

The remarkable statement of James Shev lin, to the effect that the police force was a trust, and that political parties were not responsible for the condition of affairs in the precincts, had also the effect of stirring up the heads of the force. Mr. York was an early visitor at headquarters. He stopped in at Smith Btreet on his way over to an extraordinary meeting of the board at the Mulberry street building, and it is believed that he called on Deputy Chief McLaughlin for the purpose of securing Information concerning certain points of police management, or mismanagement, in this borough. Detectives Sent to the Eastern District.

Deputy Chief McLaughlin had a number of clippings from the Eagle of yesterday on his desk. They related to the discoveries of a reporter who had been making observations In the Eastern District. Mr. York had not been long closeted with Deputy Chief McLaughlin, when Detective Sergeants McCor mick and Brady, the two men who accompanied Inspector Druhan in his raid in Green point last week, and later at Michael Mln den's at the foot of Broadway, were summoned Into the room. The two detectives were with the president of the board and the deputy chief for some time.
