JEROME DOESN'T LIKE IT. Thinks Partridge's Treatment of Captain Foody Should Have Been More "Masterful and Ruthless." In the course of a long statement, commenting on the action of Commissioner Partridge In simply reprimanding Captain Foody, who has been on trial for neglect of duty, District Attorney Jerome said to day: "My personal relations with the Commis sioner have been always, and are now. of the most pleasant character, f' esieem him very highly and have not the sligntest doubt that his decision was the result of his honest judgment as to what was w.Ise to do. But I do not bcitcve that decision was a wise or strong one, and I think his advisers made a grave mistake when they counseled him to take the course he has.

said to he a prominent real estate man of Brooklyn, N. and of Kath rrine Simns. a trained nurse of the same city, places a period to a long chase which Mrs. Mamie Thorne. who lives at 613 Putnam avenue, Brooklyn, has made after her recreant spouse.

Mrs. Thorne charges her husband with non support and Miss Shuns with Intimacy with her husband. The warrants were served on the couple at 2.3LS Lafayette street, where they have been living, it is charged, under the name of Wagner. Officers Peyton and Bossie served the papers with difficulty, as Miss SImns at first denied that she knew any one of that name. "How did I happen to meet Mr.

Thorne?" she said. "Why, he was out driving with that wife of his one day last summer, and the horse ran away and threw him out, frac turlng his skull, 'i, as a trained nurse, was called in to nurse him. and our intimacy dated from that time. Now this is all I'm going to tell any one until the trial. "Oh, If I only had Mrr.

Thorne by tho shoulder, I'd shake her hair out," and MI33 Sunns became hysterical. Miss Simms is rather attractive looking and about 2o years old. She telegraphed iter parents in Brooklyn for money, and soon afterword her attorney, Charles Cor land Brown, secured her release on $150 hood. Miss Simms returned to her home. 2.31S Lafayette street, after being released from custody about in o'clock Inst night.

Mrs. Thorne called on Miss Simms. After the two wi nen had passed compliments of evening in strenuous fashion Mrs. Thorno went befM Magistrate Hines and swor out a wtrrant charging Miss Simms with assault and battery. Mrs.

Thorne in her complaint alleges that when she called Miss Simms beat her unmercifully and pulled hor silken tresses most rudely. Thorne was a prosperous broker and lived at 603 Putnam avenue in a large three and basement brown stone house. The hous.i is, now occupied by his wife and her brother, Benjamin Peck, with bis family. Miss Peck was the only one at home this morning who 'could tell anything about the family troubles. The 11 year old son of Mr.

and Mrs. Thorne was at home. 1 The aormaint nnne hetwepn Miss SlmmR nnd Thorne began last summer, when she wa3 c.Mied (n he the Timme rnmitv in nnr 7'horne. who had been injured 'badly in a runaway, bhc was young and good looking and was an excellent nurse. She cared for the Injured man as tenderly as any person could have done nnd the relatives of Mr.

Thorne soon began to notice a tenderness that, was not expected of a hospital nurse. By the time Thorno recovered and was able to be around ho seemed desperately in love with his nurse. His wife was broken hearted and did all in her power to win him Thome's business suffered, it is said, after he left his ife. Miss Simms says the wife followed him up continually. She says he gave liU wife $30 a week so long as ho was able.

It was last August that Simms and Thorne left town. Mrs. Thorne hired a dc tective to trace them. The detective has been looking for them ever since, up to two weeks ago, when he located them in Denver, under the name of Wagner. Thorne was in the real estate business out there.

Mrs. Thorne took the first train for Denver after hearing that her husband was there. She ar rived there yemerday and lest no time In having the couple arrested. Mrs. Thome's announced reason for searching for her husband was to make him pay something to the support of herself nnd son.

Her brother. Mr. Peck, is a prosperous coal dealer who lives in the house with her, but she thinks her husband should support his family. The Seney Hospital would not say to day whether or not Mis3 Simms had ever worked there, but Miss Peck said the nurse had been called from ths Seney. BATHER REPORTS A LOSS.

H. Daniels for Dartlcuians. Adv. Swanstrom Will Oppose Scheme if It Will Enrich Real Estate Speculators. BIG SCANDAL IS FEARED.

Board of Estimate Members Hesitate. Silly Attempt to Befog the Issue Defeated by Grout. The disclosures in the Eagle indicating that a syndicate or syndicates of real estate spec ulators had secured advance information of the plan to change the terminus of the third bridge from Willoughby and Gold streets to Flatbush avenue and Fulton street, and had purchased or secured options on $1,000,000 of property in the immediate neighborhood of the latter location, are beginning to bear fruit It is no longer certain that the Board of Estimate, which had tacitly agreed to the change in plans, will approve an alteration which will benefit real estate speculators only while working Incalculable damage upon the vast business interests which have in vested millions in Fulton street, from the City Hall to Bond street. Borough President Swanstrom, Brooklyn's official representative in the Board of Esti mate, said to day: If it in true, as would appear to be the enne from the evidence nnbmltted by the Eaitle, that the clianpre in the approach to Bridge No. 3 in this bor oosh.

from DeKnlb avenue to Flatbunh avenne and Fulton street. Is purely a real estate scheme, to make money for men who have obtained options on the property, I shall certainly oppose the chanpre in the Board of Estimate and Apportionment. Thin matter trill re ceive my careful attention. Other members of the Board of Estimate have, it is understood, notified Mr. Llnden thal that under the circumstances they can not run the risk of a serious scandal by ap proving of any change in the plans for the Brooklyn terminal of the third bridge.

It now looks, therefore, as though any changes in the plans will be minor ones, and that the location of the terminus will be un changed. Some rather awkward attempts have been made by interested parties to befog the questioi by the Eagle's article on Sunday. Yesterday, for instance, some of the real estate speculators gave out and managed to get printed a story that the city itself had bought options on property on Fulton street and Flatbush avenue in order to save money in condemnation proceedings to squire land for the approach to Bridge No. 3. The story, beside being absolutely wrong, was absolutely ridiculous.

In the first place the parcels bought and options secured on advance information were not on the line of the proposed approach. In the second place, the city could not legally have secured such options nor could any city authority because no official action had been taken to change the location of the Brooklyn terminus of the third bridge. Controller Grout vigorously denied this yarn to day. He positively denied that the city was investing in property either on Fulton street, Flatbush avenue or DeKalb avenue for bridge purposes. He denied most positively that the city was contemplating any purchases of property to be used in connection with the approach to the new bridge.

The characterized the statements to the contrary as a "multiplicity of falsehoods," and finally warned the real estate capitalists, mentioned in the Eagle on Sunday, that If they had purchased property in the vicinity of the proposed terminus of the approach with a view to reaping a harvest when the city commences condemnation proceedings, they are doing so at a financial risk to themselves. "A long shot speculation," is the name which the Controller gave to the present activity in the real estate market in the neighborhood of Flatbush avenue and Fulton street. What the city has done has been to obtain options on a few parcels of property in the neighborhood, but these transactions, Mr. Grout said to day, have no relation whatsoever to the bridge approach. If the terminus of the bridge approach remains, as planned, at De Kalb avenue and Fulton street, the city will be able to find use for the property in question.

The options were not, however, secured with that view, Mr. Grout says. Moreover, Mr. Grout declares that there is not yet any positive intention on the part of the city to change the route of the bridge approach and make the terminus at Flatbush aveuue and Fulton street, instead of at De Kalb avenue and Fulton street, as originally designed. Following is Mr.

Grout's statement in his own words as dictated to an Eagle reporter this morning: "I know nothing about the purchases of any Flatbush avenue property or of any purchases in contemplation by the city with a view to any change in plan either to stop the viaduct at Sands street, or to change the terminus of the approach from De Kalb avenue and Fulton street to Flatbush avenue and Fulton street. "I may say here that any suggestion of a change of any sort in the plans is very tentative and very much in the air and anybody who buys property in reliance on such a change is taking a great risk for no change at all may ever be made. In the same way 1 may say that any one buying property intending to sell It to the city will be taking great risks, for the city will not need any property for this approach for two or three years yet. "This will make the speculation what they call a 'long As for the city buying I may say frankly that we have taken a few options, but they are i ery 'few, and all we contemplate taking at present. They are, of course, not on Flatbush avenue, nor were they selected with any view to any possible change in the plans for the approach.

That Is all I know about the subject except that it is impossible that any one should be doing anything on the basis of advance Information ot facts or plans wholly undetermined as yet." From Controller Grout's statement it is patent that not one of the parcels of property mentioned in the Eagle, story on Sunday has been secured by the city, as foolishly reported. The property, moreover, on which the cits' has obtained options is not on Fiat bush avenue, and would be ot no value to the city if it were decided to extend the ap "Dewey's Wines Are Pure." "Buy of the makers." "We are the makers." H. T. Dewey Sons WS Fulton N. Y.

Adv. Every particle of it would, or course, double treble in value If the terminus is to be at Flatbush avenue and Fulton street. Controller Grout refused to sav this morn ing for what purpose the city had obtained options on the property near the proposed approach. The negotiations tor the property in question were conducted thro ugh real es tate brokers. Controller Grout has obtained options on other parcels of property through 1 out toe city which may turn out to be valu able in the future.

The Controller has done so because he believes, he says, that the city can be saved a lot of money if the time should come when the property would be i needed. Mr. Grout was asked If he was opposed to I the plan to have the terminus of the bridge approach at DeKalb avenue and Fulton street. "I have not expressed any opinion either in favor of or against either plan," Mr. Grout replied.

"I have not studied the matter deeply enough yet to form any opinion ot the merits of either plan. "Are you aware of any opposition in the Board of Estimate or on the part of any city official against the DeKalb avenue plan?" he was asked. Mr. Grout replied in the negative. "When do you expect to receive from the Bridge Commissioner the revised plans for the approach to the new bridge?" the Controller was asked.

"I do not know when we will receive them," was the answer. "In fact." Mr. Grout added, "I do not really know that he has any revised plans." "Do you think it likely that the terminus of the approach) will be at Flatbush avenue 8nd Fulton street?" he was asked. "That I could not say," was" the response. WILL INSPECT I.

A general inspection of the Long Island ponds which furnish greater portion of the local water supply is to be made by Water Commissioner Dougherty and bis deputy, William DeLong. On Saturday ot this week Mr. DeLong is to make a visit to the ponds in the vicinity of Massapequa and later a tour of the other ponds on the island will be made.

PITCHED BATTLE WITH NEGROES Strikers and Toughs Use Ice Pick Poles and Six Colored Men Are Badly Injured. Chicago, June 4 The police; this afternoon fired on a big mob at Fifth avenue. It is not known yet whether any one was hurt. This actioc followed a day of frequent collisions with the teamster strikers and their sympathizers. Riots had taken place all day long, and the police were so harassed by the infuriated mobs that they were finally compelled to use their revolvers.

Frequent Collisions With Strikers and Their Sympathizers. Chicago. June 4 Rioting due to the teamsters' strike increased In ferocity and frequence to day. Policemen In a number of Instances had to draw th revolvers to protect themselves; severs 'of them had theif clubs not only taken gra them, but used against them. The hospitals began to feel the effect of the battling by the increased number of patients and the police stations were scarcely able to hold the rioters who had been arrested.

One of the most serious riots broke out at Congress and State and Harrison and State streets. By some maneuver the strikers succeeded In dividing. the thirty eight wagon caravan (the second to leave the yards to day) so that the front of it lay at Congress street at State, and the rear at Harrison. While the vanguard battled with the crowd which hurled broken bottles, stale eggs and other missiles. Including spools of thread thrown by women sympathizers in the crowd, the rear guard was called upon to defend itself against a more serious attack.

At this place the mob made a desperate assault on the drivers, but was compelled to turn its attention to the police, who came up on the run. Twice the bluecoats hurled themselves against the infuriated men and, twice they were rebuffed and crowded back. It was the most desperate clash the police have had with citizens in years. In several instances the strikers and their sympathizers wrenched clubs from the policemen and used them against their owners. Meanwhile, several men had gained a position of advantage on elevated loop, from which they fired 'missiles at the officers.

In this way Officer John McGuire was hit in the head with a horseshoe and so seri ously injured that ho had to be taken to a hospital. Officer John Linencurjal was less seriously hurt. Gus Billings, one of the crowd, was clubbed into insensibility by the police, and he, too, was taken to a hospital in a serious condition. After the two inef fectual at the crowd mentioned, the police managed to organize themselves, in better shape and for the third time rushed the mob. This time they were successful.

A number of heads were broken and several arrests were made. It was impossible to obtain anything like a complete list of the injured. The caravan after twenty minutes' delay began to move, but. not in peace, for the crowd followed closely. The police, however, walked by the wagons and confined their efforts to pulling from the wagons men who tried to climb into the seats, presumably to pull down the drivers.

Missiles Thrown at Police From Win do ws. The decision of the police to confine their attention strictly to keeping invaders from climbing onto the wagons did not long endure. From windows along the route missiles were flung at them. At every street corner teamsters in sympathy with the strikers so managed their wagons as to bring artnnt. a hlnclrnde.

With thp onnffnnpd nn position the bombardment, the blockading and the jeers all stirring them the poljse lost their tempers and clubbed with apparent indiscrimination. It was said that several women and boys and one helpless cripple received blows from the batons of the police. The streets through which the cavalcade passed by noon had become a perfect maelstrom of surging excited humanity. The slow but persistent progress of the meat wagons acted as a goad to the temper of the crowd. Patrol wagons were kept busy rushing to the various lock ups with prisoners; ambulances hurried to the nearest hospitals where heads could be sewed up, but never did the strikers and their sympathizers lessen their resistance.

The sight of new arrests and of newly cracked skulls whetted their appetites for more. They took the presence of the immense caravan, a difficult thing to move under any circumstances through the down town districts, as a challenge and other collisions followed. An incident of the fights was the smashing of an automobile, in which were seated Charles Gates and a companion. The machine was caught in one of the blockades and smashed to splinters. Another machine, in which were two women, was caught in a similar predicament.

The occupants were so frightened by the riot about them that they were at the point of fainting when policemen rescued them. While passing under the elevated railroad loop the caravan was endangered by trolley wires which had been cut from their fastenings apd.hung down to the pavement. No one was hurt, however, from this cause. State Street Barricaded for Several Hours. Busy State street was in a state of barricade for several hours.

Pickets for the strikers persuaded sympathetic drivers to drive into the thoroughfare in order to check the advance of the meat wagons. At Madison and State streets the volley of eggs, bricks, became sothick and the street so congested that, the police were forced to charge upon the crowd. Sympathizers in wagon tried to drive into the squads of police, and many people were slightly injured In the One old man had his arm broken by the blow from a policeman's club.

Little Irene Walsh Had Been Vaccinated by Family Doctor in January, 1901. Dr. Edwin R. Bedford of 814 Marcy avenue and Principal William R. McAndrew of Public School No.

44, Throop avenue and Madison street, were charged with assault in the third degree in the Gates avenue court this morning by Willis J. Walsh, a contractor, residing at 397 Hancock street. Mr. Walsh bases his complaint upon the vaccination of his 6 year old daughter Irene, said to have been performed in the presence of the principal at the school, which she attended, on the morning of 7 by the physician, who is one of the vaccinating staff of the Board of Health assigned to vaccinate pupils in the public schools. The little girl's father claims that the proceedings leading up to the vaccination of the child were arbitrary and unwarranted and that the operation itself was forcibly performed to a degree justifying the charge embodied In the complaint.

Mr. Walsh says that his child was vaccinated by Dr. J. Van Brakle. the family physician, of 298 South Fifth street, a little over a year ago, and claims that sufficient time was not given him to produce a certificate attesting that fact.

He says that he is by no means an op ponent of vaccination, but that, on the contrary, he Is heartily in favor of the system, only he prefers to have his children vaccinated by his own doctor. Mr. Walsh is of the opinion that compulsory and arbitrary measures, which, it is claimed, have recently been put in vogue in carrying out the I custom, are outrageous and deserving of the severest condemnation. He is indignant at the treatment accorded to his own child and thinks that an example should be set which may result in a stop being put to the practice of indiscriminate vaccinating. According to Mr.

Walsh the child returned home from school on the afternoon ot May 6 and told her mother that all the pupils In the school were to be vaccinated the following morning, excepting those who could produce physicians' certificates setting forth the fact that they had been properly vaccinated within the required period prescribed by law. Mr. Walsh says that he at once sought for Dr. Van Brakle. who had vaccinated his daughter within the time referred to.

He was unable to locate the physician, who was out of town at the time, until the next day when he secured the required proof signed and attested to by Dr. Van Brakle. This was at 11 o'clock, on the morning of the day on which Mr. WaUh alleges the forcible vaccination took place. He had sent the child to school with explicit Instructions to explain the circumstances of the case to her teacher and the principal and under no consideration to submit to vaccination at the hands of the physician publicly employed for the purpose.

He returned home before noon with the certificate, thinking that an exception had been made in the case of his child only to find that she had been vaccinated by the physician from the Board of Health. Mr. Walsh Is satisfied, from what the child told him. that she was compelled to submit to the lancet of the school physician under protest. Even if ibis wore not so.

Mr. Walsh claims, a few hours' notification from the school' authorities of an impending arbitrary vaccination, is not sufficient. In certain cases to secure a certificate' from a busy family doctor whose services render It extremely unlikely that he can always be located on the spur of the moment. Mr. Walsh claims that his child was one of six out of a class of forty six in the Kindergarten department who were vaccinated by the Board of Health doctor.

He showed his doctor's certificate, stating that the child had been properly vaccinated on January 16, 1001. and claimed that the wound from that operation nad not entirely healed when the fresh one was forcibly inflicted. There Is a partly healegl scar on the little girl's arm. which appears to bear cut the latter assertion. Principal McAndrew is made a party to the complaint on the accusation that the scraping of the child's arm was performed under his direction without just cause or provocation by Dr.

Bedford, who is accused of forcibly taking hold of the child's arm and cutting the same with a lancet. Both the principal and the physician pleaded not guilty at the preliminary examination this morning, and the case was set down for hearing on June 17, by Magistrate Furlong. Principal McAndrew and Dr. Bedford would not discuss Mr. Walsh's charge when approached by an Eagle reporter.

John J. Clancy, counsel for Mr. Walsh, said that a claim said to have been made by the defense that the child had consented to be vaccinated was ridiculous. 'What does the consent of a child of that age amount to when exacted by superiors under circumstances similar to what has occurred?" said Mr. Clnncy.

"The child under such conditions might just as well trustingly allow a ring to be taken from its finger." TEACHERS WANT THEIR PAY. Public school teachers throughout the city are complaining over the delay in the payment of their May salaries, which were due nn Monday last. The teachers did not object to a slight delay, which' they laid to the occurrence of thr holiday, but as the offices of the board were open on Saturday, it was expected that the checks would be ready by Tuesday. Such was not the case, and even this morning they were not forthcoming. At the office of the auditor this morning it was said that the checks would be ready this afternoon.

Bidders for Brooklyn Tunnel Work Puzzled Over the Absence of Details. There will be a hearing before the rapid transit commissioners to morrow on the specifications as to the Brooklyn tunnel. The two interests which are the leading bidders, that is to say, the McDonald Belmont and the Brady Brooklyn Rapid Transit, are considerably perplexed as to the proceeding. The stand which either interest may lake upon the question discussed may have the effect of a committal to a course which may have a binding effect on the final matter of the award, and yet the terms they are to consider have not been made plain. The specifications as to the financial side the terms under which the tunnel may be operated have been given out, but the engineering specifications have not.

Indeed, it is understood that the plans of the tunnel have not been worked out at all, much less in the detail. The interests who are the prospective bidders are thus apparently in the position of being asked to name a price for an article the characteristics 01 wnicn win ne made clear after the terms of price are agreed 1 upon. Whether the engineering plans of construction and of operation, if they were In existence and before them, would change the attitude of the contesting bidders toward the tunnel is questionable. Both are desirous of obtaining It and either doubtless would sacrifice much before it would let the op i of possession pass away. But.

no I doubt, both sides would feel much easier. more certain of their positions, nnd stand much firmer if they knew in detail what their undertaking really was to be. $75,000 FOR LONG ISLAND FARM. (Special to the Eagle.) Westbury, L. June I Dudley Winth rop has purchased of Mrs.
