Gregg, the Democratic candidate for district attorney, and Lennder B. Faber, the Republican can date, because of personal friendship for Mr. Gregg, said: "Mr. Faber will get every Republican vote in Long Island City as far as I am concerned. I owe no favors to Mr.

Gregg. He has never done anything for me nor i for him. I took Mr. Faber up to the Ravenswood Boat Club's barn dance Saturday night and introduced him to all of the members. Mr.

Faber was the first choice of the Long Island City delegation to the county convention from the start and our delegation was the first to name him. "Mr. Faber will run ahead of his ticket as far as Long Island City is concerned, notwithstanding his opponent, Mr. Gregg, was a resident of Long Island City until recently, when he moved to Newtown. It would not surprise me if we elected our Senator, member of Assembly and District Attorney." Asked whether he did not think the coal strike would injure the Republicans in Queens, Mr.

Ripperger said: "The coal strike will have no effect in this county nt all. President Baer of the Reading Railroad, the head and front of the coal combine, and the one unalterably opposed to arbitration, is a Democrat, whereas President Roosevelt and Governor Odell have done all they could to induce arbitration.

25,000 PEOPLE IN ATTENDANCE. Season of Park Concerts Successfully Closer fcy Programme in Which 500 Singers Participated. Twenty five thousand people listened to the singing by five hundred members of the United Singers at Prospect Park yesterday afternoon and, despite the long programme, enjoyed the concert and enthusiastically applauded the rendering of the several selections. One number on the programme, Foster's "Old Black Joe.V was especially pleasing to the audience, and the singers were compelled to favor the listeners with an encore. This applause was the strongest indorsement for the music committee's assertion, so bitterly attacked by many of the delegates, that English songs of this kind are not out of the range of German singers, who will win the audience quicker and more surely by folk song and English songs than by songs that may be appreciated only by connoisseurs.

All the numbers were finely rendered by the singers, and Ernest Reyl, musical director, scored a great success by his untiring efforts to make the concert a brilliant one in the history of the United Singers. The success is to be considered the higher inasmuch on two previous Sundays, on aecount of the rain, the concert had to be postponed and only a short rehearsal could be held before the concert yesterday. The concert was preceded by the decoration of the Beethoven and Mozart busts at the flower garden of the Since the city's adminletration has accepted these trophies, won by the United Singers at the Saong'erfests of the Northeastern Saengerbund, the United Singers annually assemble, in October, at the park, to enjoy the victory and celebrate what is styled German or German American day. From this celebration and decoration of the busts with laurel wreaths, the park concerts were originated, a fact fittingly alluded, August Tiemann, president of the United Singers, in his address yesterday. "It is with pride," he said, "that we point to the fact that, what ill no other city of the United States is possible has been scored in Brooklyn, where on a Sunday the German Singers, escorted by a military' band, may march to a public park and listening to the sweet' singing, the American forget his own ideas a Sunday celebration and enjoy the concert, with thanks in his heart for the city authorities, and especially the Park Commissioner, by whose liberality the singers were enabled to have their fellow citizens enjoy the precious gift ot singing." Mr.

Tiemann then reminded the singers not to forget S. K. Saenger and Arthur Claassen, through whose untiring efforts the singers had scored their great triumphs in the past. He requested the singers to follow their example, and especially in the forthcoming royal battle for a prize at Baltimore next year, where the United Singers might win the Handel bust. Mr.

Tiemann further called the singers' attention to the fact that, inspired by the success scored by the Brooklyn Gingers at the public park concerts, other communities fqllowed suit, and tbat not r.nly at the Bronx German singers have been heard at a public concert, but also far down in the South, at only a few weeks ago, fcr the first time German singers gave a concert at a public park. "In joyful remembrance of the victories by which these busts were won," he continued, "with grateful memory of those men who have led us to victory, with well deserved pride about the achievements that resulted from those victories, and earnestly ourselves to always cultivate German song and to fulfill our mission as citizens of this our adopted fatherland, to have German sdiig. taught by our mother Gcrmauia, appreciated by our new mother Columbia. it is with these sentin eats that we now decorate these two busts, hoping that when wo 'meet again at this place, sacred by song and art, next fall we may be enabled to decorate with the precious gifts of Flora the Handel bust also." Mr. Tiemann's address was heartily applauded.

Thereupon the singers, Shannon's Twenty thM Regiment Band preceding, inarched to the platform and the concert began. The programme was as follows: 1. Overture to opera "Rienzi," R. Wagner, Shannon's Twenty third Regiment Band; 2. Chorus, "Stch fest du Dautscher Eichen wald," C.

This One Is Valued at Over One Hundred Thousand Dollars. Probably the most expensive jewel ever manufactured is now on exhibition at R. Harris jewelers, corner Seventh and streets, says the Washington Evening Star, and was made by them specially in honor of this G.

A. R. encampment. This jewel is specially remarkable on account of the difficulty in obtaining a sufficient quantity of genuine rubies, all of one shade of color, and in large sizes, there being no less than 119 of these stcnes, frcm one half to one karat each in weight, and it took three weeks to gather these from the leading importers in the country, and they are more valuable than diamonds ot equal size.

twelve inches long. The eagle, cannons and lower star are of 18 karat gold. Sixteen fine black pearls represent the cannon balls. The flag is composed of rubies ana diamonds, forming the red and white stripes. The blue field is formed of 130 sapphires, with thirteen pure white diamonds for the stars.

Antonio Esposito Kills One Man and Seriously if Not Fatally Wounds Another. R0CKVILLE CENTER THE SCENE. No Cause Is Assigned for the Shooting.

Esposito Captured and Jailed. (Special to the Eagle.) Rockville Center, L. October 13 As the result of an attempted triple murder here last evening, just as people were on their to church service, Antonio Esposito. a young Italian shoemaker, is lodged in the County Jail, charged with the death of Car mclo Spanno, and Jesseppe Rosso, another victim of the tragedy, is in Nassau Hospital, mortally wounded, it is believed, having been shot through the right lung. Francis Cardrollo, who escaped death by the bullet intended for him going wide of the mark, is detained as a witness against Esposito.

All the parties Involved in the tragedy are natives of Italy and have been in this country but a short time. The tragedy occurred in front of a little shoe repairing shop conducted by Frank Messian, an Italian, who was in New York attending a wedding at the time. Scores of persons saw Spanno fall dead on the sidewalk as the bullet from a revolver plowed through his hsart, and heard the shots inside the building, which almost ended the existence of Rosso and Cardrollo. They also saw Esposito rush out of the shoe shop with the smoking revolver in his hand, and, heading for the Merrick road, near by, make for the east, running with all possible speed. Chief of Police Joseph Shelly, with Joseph Roesch, gave hot chase after the murderer with a horse and wagon and numerous aids on bicycles.

The capture of the murderer, near Baldwins, where a colony of Italians are quartered, after an pxcitiug ride, was a masterly piece of work on Officer Shelly's part, and has won lor him new laurels as a capable hunter of criminals. What incited the row among the Italians is not yet clear. Several stories are being told, but none could be verified. All the men had quarters on the second floor of the little shoe shop where the crime occurred. Espocito was employed by Messian, the cobbler.

Spanno, his cousin. Rosso, and Cardrollo wore laborers employed by Angelo Fiscutto, whose English name is Frank Ross. Yesterday afternoon the men. with the exception of Spanno, spent several hours in Ross' apartments on Observer street. About 5 o'clock they left for the shoe shop, where Esposito was taking a nap.

They awoke him and went in. Tne men wart; taking leave. It is said, when Esposito whipped out a .38 caliber weapon and, placing the muzzle over Spauno's heart, fired. The wounded man fell to the sidewalk without uttering a sound. Turning on Rosso, who was beside him, Esposito fired again, sending a bullet through his chest.

He fell unconscious to the sidewalk near Span no's dead body. The enraged man next turned on Cardrollo, who was some feet away, took careless aim and fired. The bullet tore through the front of Cardrollo's coat, which was hanging loose, and he escaped uninjured. A crowd of several hundred persons soon collected and great excitement existed. The flight of Esposito to escape arrest was not forgotten, however, and a score of citizens, with Police Captain Shelley at their head, started in pursuit.

Dr. John E. Hutcheson was sent for. and, after pronouncing Spanno beyond human aid, ordered Cardrollo removed to the Nassau Hospital, at Mineola. Justice Edgar Jackson cf Baldwins, acting coroner, was also sent for.

Alter viewing body and taking a deposition from Rosso, he ordered the removal of the remains to Wright Pearsall's undertaking shop. Spanno had been in this country but a short time, and could speak tbut little English. The others are also unable to speak but a few words, and the story of what caused the tragedy will probably not become known until an interpreter obtains the statements of Cardrollo and Rosso. At the hospital this morning the wounded man was reported to be in about the same condition as when brought there last night. His chances for recovery art: said to be slight.

Esposito was taken to the hospital, handcuffed to Jail Warden John Dunbar and Deputy Sheriff Abram Furman, and Identified as Spanno's slayer by Rosso. Owing to the Iatter's weak condition no questions as to what caused the crime were put to him. His ante mortem statement will be taken to day if his condition permits. Frank Messian, who owns the shoe shop in which the tragedy occurred, was first informed of the shooting this morning by an Eagle reporter, who met him on a train bound for Amityville, where he was going with a party of friends who were returning from a wedding. Messian was greatly affected by the news and left the tFain at Baldwins.

Justice Jackson, acting coroner, and Police Justice William H. Ccnnell, before whom Esposito was arraigned last night, held an Inquisition at the village clerk's office this morning. The inquisition was concluded shortly before noon. Alfonso Caldaroni was the principal witness. He testified that In company with Spanno and Rosso they went (o invite Esposito to take a walk.

He and Spanno engaged in a quarrel, which led to the shooting. The shooting was done in the doorway ot the shoe shop. Esposito and Spanno had always been good friends, Caldaroni said. Esposito was, brought into court handcuffed to Police Captain Shelley and identified by Caldaroni as the man who shot Spanno. The pistol used has not been found.

An autopsy was performed on Spanno this morning and a .44 caliber bullet tal.en from his left breast near the hoart. FOUND AN OLD FRIEND. Es A3semblyman Smith of Freeport Picks Up a Turtle He Marked in His Boyhood. Freeport, L. October 11 Ex Asemhly man Thomas A.
