Investigation Showed He Was Dr. H. R. Haydecker of Manhattan, and Wealth The peculiar actions of a good looking and stylishly dressed man at the corner Wythe avenue ami Hooper street early last, night attracted a large crowd and created plenty of excitement for that usually iiuiot neighborhood. He appeared to be periently rational and anraetod no attention until a Franklin avenue ear came along.

He threw liin hands wildly above his head and. ru. into ilie middle of iho thoroughfare. it' lie ui ro about to throw himself in from the ear. Before the ear could near enough to do him harm he ran hack in the sidewalk to await, tin arrival of mother.

This conduct continued, and during the wt'its he amused and amazed the assembled crowd by trying in hypnotize a horse which stood tit the center. The large crowd attracted the attention of Policeman of the ciymer street station. lie fought hi way through the throng and. approaching the man. tried to question him.

The replies he received convinced O'Connell thai the man was mentally unsound and he decided to take him to the station house. As soon as the officer put his hands on his prisoner a rough and tumble tiRht. ensued and as the man more than held his own. O'Connell summoned assistance. Finally, with the aid of (he patrol wagon and a couple of.

officers, they got the man to the station. The police were unable to learn anything of importance from the prisoner, but the investigation which they made showed that the man was Dr. Henry R. Haydecker. a well known Manhattan physician, and a protege of Dr.

Janeway, the specialist. It was learned that he was thirty eight years old and that he had been in poor health for several years and under the almost constant care of a doctor. When his health broke down, Dr. Haydecker, on the advice of his doctor, went to Porto Rico and for a time lived an open air life with the American soldiers. He later went to Santiago and lie came the house doctor in a hotel there, but when he thought that his health had been fully restored he started on an extended tour throughout the West and only recently returned to New York.

He is said by the police to be a man of wealth in his own i i thi and that his relatives are also in affluent, circumstance's. The police learned that Haydecker had come from Manhattan yesterday afternoon to visit a relative, a Mrs. Gray, who lives at 1'34 Keap street. Mrs. Gray was not at home and the theory is that he 'became suddenly demented and wandered aimlessly about the streets until his queer conduct on Wythe avenue attracted attention and prompted his arrest.

A short time after arriving at the station house the doctor appeared to be rational and the sergeant in charge, questioned him. He said that he had taken a quantity of atropine in mistake for some other drug and that it had affected his head. He admitted, however, that he had been addicted to the morphine habit. Before the police could get any more information he became violent again and had to be attended by several policemen. An ambulance was summoned from the Williamsburgh Hospital and Dr.

ubrecht. who responded, found the man greatly excited. He decided to remove him to the institution, but. the doctor refused to go. He quieted down somewhat after receiving attention from the surgeon and fin ally agreed to go in the ambulance.

He again became excited on reaching the. hospital and attendants were detailed to keep a constant watch over him. The police, late last night, were trying to locate the doctor's relatives in Manhattan. ROBBERIES REPORTED.

MADDENED BY FAMILY'S TAUNTS, Despondent German Laborer Attempts Wholesale Tragedy May Die in Hospital. Gottfried Muller, a German laborer, desnondent over a failure to obtain work and crazed by the reproaches of his family, attempted suicide by poisoning last night and also made a desperate effort to shoot his son.

Muller lives, at alt wast, ciisutv at. street. Manhattan, and. for several months past has been wandering about the city seeking employment, but without success. Every night he returned home, weary and crestfallen, and told his wife and children a story of his failure to get work.

They doubted the sincerity of his purpose and told him repeatedly that he did not make enough application for work. When he returned home last night and told his wife, Carolina, and his son. Christopher, that he had met with no success, they began to upbraid him. A violent quarrel ensued between the three, and when Christopher continued reproaching his father the latter suddenly exclaimed. "I'll end it all!" He sprang into a bedroom and taking a revolver, a weapon of antique design, front a bureau drawer, rushed into the kitchen.

wher his son and wife were sitting at a table. He brandished the revolver in the air, yelling that he would kill his son for his attitude toward him. Suddenly he aimed the weapon at Christopher's head and fired, but the son dodged under a table and the bullet lodged in the wall. Young Muller then sprang at his father and a desperate struggle ensued between the pair. They staggered around the kitchen, the son endeavoring to wrest the revolver from his fathers grasp, and fighting furiously.

Suddenly the father aimed the weapon at Christopher and again fired, hut the bullet also went wide of its mark and' lodged in. the floor. The struggle continued for several minutes, when Christopher managed to get possession of the revolver. Meantime Mrs. Muller had run to the street and called Policeman Enrlght, of the East Eighty eighth street station, who came to the house.

Father and son were still fighting desperately, but Enright jumped into the fray and, put an end to it quickly. Muller was then taken to the East Eighty eighth street station house, where he was locked up. charged with felonious assault with Intent to kill. Shortly after the prisoner had been placed in a cell the son Christopher went to ttie station and told Sergeant Ryan that, he had found in the house a package that hn susr.crtPrt thni his father' had Rwal 1 suspected lowed some of the poison. At the i same moment the doorman told the sergeant (olran til It, his cell.

A call was their sent in to the Presbyterian Hospital, and Dr. Duffy, who responded, found that Muller had taken a quantity of the Paris green. Muller responded to treatment, but suddenly lapsed into a state of unconsciousness and his condition became very critical. He was removed to the nr.spital. a prisoner, where It was said he wi.s a dangerous condition.

An addi iional charge of attempted suicide was made against him. SHIPPING NEWS AND NOTES. Some Interesting Features of the British Transport Services Loss of the Huronian. Among the recent charters of British steamships are the following from Fiune for South Africa: America. Hostitius.

Nairnshire. Sicilian. Sussex. Racburn and These vessels are chartered for March and April' to carry troop horses at 15 per bead to some South African port. This fact goes to show that Great Britain must be.

getting large supplies or horses from Europe outside those shipped from New Orleans and the River Plate. In view of the agitation about the shipments of horses and mules from New Orleans, this fact is interesting. So far as the local transport end is concerned it appears to be closed out. It is unaerstood that no more Canadian hay will be shipped from here since the last two transports sailed from the Atlantic dock This seems plausible, as the northern naviga tion season will soon open ann naturaiiy the Dominion ports will be favored. The Allan liner Huronian.

bound from Ihe Clyde to St. John. N. to load hay for South Africa, appears to have been given up for lost. She had on board 830 tons of bunker and S.300 tons of cargo coal when she sailed from the Clyde.

She is now about forty eight days overdue and long since sixty guineas per cent, had been paid on her Insurance. The search for her around Sable Island proved to be fruitless The ship was nearly new, having bqen built in 1901. She is. or was. valued at S4o0.uu(, and registered (i.S59 gross tons.

A curiott3 feature about ihe ship is that she is the largest steamer ever lost without any trace left. The Naronic measured 300 tons less than the Huronian and. strange enough, both sailed on February 11. The Naronit rt on the date named in 1893. bound from Liverpool for this port.

Detective Sutlerick of the West Thirty seventh station this morning arraigned in the West street court Tom Sing, a Chinaman of 2fil West Thirty ninth street, whom he accused of maintaining an opium Joint at his. home and of peddling the drug through the Tenderloin.

My. my." WANT ASSESSMENTS REDUCED. Tax Commissioners Hearing Applica i tions of Corporations and Owners of Real Property. The Tax Commissioners are busy this month hearing applications of corporations and owners of real property for reductions in assessments. Many important hearings are scheduled as applications for big decreases have been filed.

The Commissioners have all the rest of this month and the whole of May to decide upon these cases. The personal property lists alone are closed on April I. The confiTmatiop of all assessments comes in July, after which date it will be possible to come within reasonable guessing distance of the year's tax rate. At present no figures anywhere near the truth can be ascertained. This year's tax rate should be lower than last year's, as the Board of Estimate is determined to keep down the budget, while the annual increase assessments will be something like S75.000.000.

at least normal, DOESN'T BLAME THE COURTS. Jerome Believes Blssert and Like Decisions Obviate Danger of Persecution by Overheated Public Opinion. District. Attorney Jerome talked at some length yesterday morning on the decision of i the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court handed down yesterday in the Bissert case, and on kindred subjects. He was asked if he thought that the decision would act in a way to strengthen tnc police (system that has i been complained of.

"No. 1 don't ihink it will. he replied. "I believe that the men broken by Police Com i missioner Partridge will be unable to obtain reinstatement by an appeal to the courts, if 1 all the trials arc conducted by the commis sioner in the same manner as those I have i seen him try. The fundamental principle 1 in a trial before Colonel Partridge is fair i ness and justice.

"It. is a pity that the impression has gone that the courts are over particular in granting new trials to police officers. In my observation the courts have acted all right in these decisions. I have had occasion to examine many decisions and I would have done just the same as the courts did if I i had had to decide them. "The courts are there to eee that fair play Is given.

They must stand between public passion and what is fair. The public mind sometimes rises to a state of insurrection and unfair things result. 'However, if it Is impossible to obtain the conviction of a policeman, and have the con viction stand in the courts, it will be neces sary to resort to drastic measures. If the impression becomes too strong that a convic lion cannot be had then that drastic measure might perhaps take the form of an entire deorganization of the police force, and if that was done a good many men would suffer. impression Is, however," continued Mr.

Jerome, "that the decisions arrived at by Commissioner Partridge and the punishments 1 he inflicts, will stand, and reorganization i would not then be necessary. "I have never been of the opinion that it was impossible to convict a guilty policeman. If a man is tried while his offense is red hot and the Commissioner is unfair, then there i is every reason why his decision should be overturned 'out when things are done in a i quiet, impartial manner.

When the groans and cries of McGurk were heard the others limped away and could hot be located by the police.

All afternoon the boys played hide and. go seek in and around the shed. The other three boys who were on the roof are unknown to the victim of the accident. They heard the creaking and felt the giving way of the boards and attempted to jump to the ground, but were not quick enough. The roof fell with a crash, pinning McGurk, who was inside hiding from the others, to the ground.

His cries brought assistance from men who were nearby, ana tney lifted tne shed and carried the boy to a nearby drug store at the corner. An ambulance was sent for, and Dr. Rorke of St. Catherine's Hospital responded. When the surgeon examined the boy it was found that a horseshoe shape cat, extending from the forehead to nearly the base of the skull, had been inflicted in the scalp.

It took sixteen stitches to draw the torn scalp together, and the boy was otherwise injured. He was removed to his home and will recover. REPAIR OF BAD SIDEWALKS.
