Chief of Police Devery Sends Many More Patrolmen Back to Post Duty. CHANGES IN LOCAL COURTS. Half of the Ewen Street Force Taken Away From Their Special Detail. Following out the policy of reducing the number of policomen enjoying special details, the Chief of Police gave out this afternoon a list of changes in the court squads. Each branch of the sen ice, it is understood, will be carefully scrutinized and where fewer men can do the work there will be a reduction of the force.

So far Brooklyn has escaped severe treatment, for, as a matter of fact, the special detail evil was greater in Manhattan and tha Bronx. Chief Devery, through his "secretary, Sergeant Flood, gave out to day the fact that Sergeant Frederick G. Carson had been transferred from tho Madison street station to the Oak station and Sergeant Albert McDonald from the Oak street to the Madison etreet station. The list of transfers of court men in Manhattan and tho Bronx numbers fifty eight, officers, who lose their details end go back to regular duty. Of this transfer eighteen men are taken from the Criminal Court Squad, eight from the Second Court Squal, eight from the Third Court Squad, eleven from the Foutrh Court Squad, six from the Fifth Court Squad, five from the Sixth Court Squad and nine from the Seventh Court Squad.

The transfers in Brooklyn seem to have been mainly directed at the squad of officers doing special duty Magistrate Lemon's court, on Given street. There 'have been ten patrolmen tnere 'dolrig the work that was done by half of the number in other courts. The order of transfer directs Deputy Chief Mackellar to send four of them to regular duty and one of them to tlie Fourth District Court on Lee avenue. list given out at the Vieadquarters on Mulberry street is as follows, as far as it concerns the Brooklyn courts. It will be secu that there are really few changes: Firs: District (Magistrate Brenner) To remain: Daniei Makmey, Precinct; Peter Bacon, Forty ninth Precinct; James Waldron, Ftny ninth Precinct: Charles Howard, Forty ninth Precinct; James Quigiey, Forty nin fa Precinct.

Long, Fifty first Precinct; Thomas Shaniev, Fiftv sixth Precinct. President York has said that political influence will be unavailing to secure the reinstatement of any of the detailed men who have tieen sent back to post. The changes are made tc strengthen the service and to get the oest possioie work' out tut: men. The detail system has been abuser In Manhattan, it Is alleged, and there arc a number of men who have been able to shirk work there for years, men who were well able to do the regular police duty. The policy, it is understood, is not to disturb the old men who secured their original details by reason of infirmity or disability that was due to service, and as" will be seen ffly the list published above, so far as the old men are concerned, they have not been turbed in Brooklyn at least.

a A i I DEPUTY SHERIFF'S LESSON, Keating Undertook to Interfere in the Affairs of the Federal Government. HE RECEIVES A WARNING. Internal Revenue Collector Moore Expounds to Him the United States Statutes. Deputy Sheriff Thomas J. Keating had a session with the Internal Revenue Department this morning which ho will probably never rorget and which will doubtless act as a warning to other officials connected with police courts when they undertake to transact business of the United States without authority.

Keating returned to his business after an 'interview with Collector Moore, a wiser ir not a sorrier man, with a warning tucked into his memory that is likely to make him very sby of trying to help his constituents out when Uncle Sam wants to bco them. About the middle of the week Captain George Dick, deputy collector of United States internal revenue, accompanied by Dep uty James J. Mullen, in making a tour their district, stopped at a grocery store kept by Vito Michelle, corner of Sixty sixth street and Fourteenth avenue. From the outward appearance of things all seemed to bo as it should be, but curiosity took them behind a partition in the rear of the store, where were seated about fifty Italians around small tables. Investigation discovered a quantity of alleged illicit cigars, in boxes not prop erly branded or stamped; fourteen full boxes of beer, seven empty boxes and a quantity of Italian wines.

Michelle was at once taken into executive session and interviewed, with the result that he was notified to appear at the Federal Building yesterday morning and take out a government license to sell liquor. Ho claim ed to be selling liquor under a club charter, which was shown and to all appearances was satisfactory to the internal revenue officers. Ho admitted also that ho had no state license to sell liquor, but of that Captain Dick cared nothing, his business being to look after the United States government only. tailed to appear yesterday morn ing and was again notified that if he did not come to the office this morning he would be arrested under the revenue laws. AVith an interpreter and several of his countrymen Michelle appeared as desired and then stated that he had gone to the Butler street court yesterday, instead of going to the Federal Building, where, he said, he had been helped out before, and was taken in hand by Deputy Sheriff Keating, before whom he made out form No 2, which is an application for retail liquor dealer's certificate from the United States, paid Keating $1.50 and went homo satisfied that all was well.

Michelle was put on the right track and inasmuch as he admitted that he had been selling liquor since last November, he will be compelled to pay a penalty of 50 per cent, beside tho tax of $23. He was also fined for having in his possession contraband cigars. Deputy Sheriff Keating was then sent for. He admitted that Michelle's story was sub stantially correct and expressed a willingness to return the $1.50 and stated that he acted as he did with the idea simply that he was helping out a man who otherwise might have done wrong. After the law had been read to him and a liberal interpretation of it expounded he was allowed to return to Butler street.

NO SHELTER FOR TRAMPS. Nassau County Has Thirty' on Hand and No Place to Lodge Them. The Board of Supervisors of Nassau County, accompanied by District Attorney James P. Niemann of that county, visited the Kings County Penitentiary to day to see whether arrangements can be made for taking charge of the tramps now at Barnum's Island at the Penitentiary. There are.

now thirty Regular tramps supported by Nassau County and Warden Patrick Hayes of the Kings County Penitentiary has refused to receive them, on the ground that ho has no contract with Nassau County for their care and maintenance. The Nassau County authorities maintain that their charges are regular tramps and that under the law of the state they must be committed to the nearest penitentiary and maintained as a state, charge, an allowance of $2 per week being allowed by the state authorities for ihelr care. The Supervisors allege that tramps are not to be boarded at the expense of the county as are vagrants or criminals. There are also thirty Queens County vagrants from Long Island Citv aud the other borough wards which the supervisors allege they arc. going to compel to walk west as soon as the weather permits.

The invitation of the Board of Supervisors to the citizens and taxpayers of the county to examine the plans of the proposed county buildings and to send in suggestions or recommendations in writing to the board concerning them was followed by a visit of quite a large number of citizens of the county to the Court House yesterday, all of whom examined the plans at considerable length. The board has selected seventeen or eighteen of the forty seven plans accepted for competition, for more full lconsideration. PENSION FOR ELLIS' WIDOW.

LONE ISLAND NEWS County Clerk Sutphin Directed to File Senator Norton's Certificate of Nomination. COURT OF APPEALS DECISION. Legal Day for Filing Contains Twenty four Hours and Certificate Must Be Entered as of October 14. (Special to the Eagle.) Jamaica, L. January 28 The Court of Appeals has handed down an opinion affirming with costs an order of the appellate division requiring the County Clerk of Queens County to accept and file as on October 14 the certificate of nomination of James Norton as a candidate for the office of Senator of the Second Senatorial District, comprising what is now known as Queens and Nassau Counties.

As was published In the Eagle at the time the certificate of nomination was handed Deputy County Clerk Charles Downing at his home in Jamaica between the hours of 10 and 11 o'clock on the night of October 14, the last day by law in which such certificate of nomination could be legally filed. Mr. Downing refused to accept the certificate on the ground that his office hours were fixed by law as from 9 A. M. to 5 P.

and that he couid not accept the certificate for filing after tho latter named hour. This view was supported by Justice W. J. Gaynor, whose opinion was reversed by the Appellate Division. The opinion of the latter named court is to the effect that while the clerk would not be authorized under the law to accept for filing after office hours any judgments whicn are required to be docketed or mortgages and similar papers required to be recorded, this does not affect the case of the petitioner.

In the former case these papers are docketed and recorded not alone for the protection of the parties whose interest is to have them recorded, but it also affects or may affect the rights of third parties as the act of record determines their status. The court holds that the filing of the above mentioned certificate of nomination in nowise affected the property jucciwl ui inn parties. The election law gave practically to the petitioner the whole day of twenty four hours of October 14 in which to file his certificate. Morfort Faber appeared for the petitioner, F. H.

Munson, yastor of the Snath Church, Is assisted by Newton Earle, an evangelist, and He is Also Schoeneck's Brother in Law and Hopes to Interpreters' Uniforms, IF THE BILL BECOMES A LAW. Schoeneck Will Aid Warkentine, but County Clerk Wuest Has Made No Promises. If Assemblyman Schoeneck's bill which provides that the interpreters In tho Brooklyn courts shall wear uniforms becomes a law it is altogether likely that Mr. Schoeneck's brother in law, Louis Warkentine of 103 High street, will be commissioned to make the clothes. 'Mr.

Warkentine is a tailor and he admits that his brother in law, the assemblyman, has promised to do everything in hi3 power to aid him. Whether the bill will ever pass both Houses and finally receive the signature of Governor. Roosevelt is solely a matter of conjecture. The interpreters themselves have not as yet taken very kindly to the scheme, for they do not fancy the idea of parading through the courts and the streets with blue uniforms, adorned here and there with the letter It is all vptv wpll thpv sqv. for Mr.

Warkentine, and Mr. Schoeneck, for there is nothing in the bill which provides that they must dress themselves in the suits and go around like a lot of blooming idiots, but It is quite different when a self respecting man is either forced to wear the unbecoming costume or throw up a comfortable job. A copy of the bill introduced by Assemblyman Schoeneck has not as yet reached Brooklyn, but the interpreters are watching out for it, and when it does come it will 'have to stand a. pretty critical examination. If it doesn't suit, and there isn't t'ne slightest probability that it will, it is possible that they may make things a bit disagreeable for Mr.

Schoeneck. Thus far there is difference of opinion as to one or two provisions of the bill. All admit that it is for the purpose of put iaug tumorals on interpreters, but then the question arises who is to make the uniforms. According to one man who examined the bill in Albany the other day County Clerk William P. "Wuest is given permission to select a tailor.

However this may De there is no denying the fact that Brother in Law Warkentine has been assured that he will get t'he job if everything can tie satisfactorily arranged. Mr. Warkentine was seen by an Eagle reporter at his home, 105 Hoy: street, this morning. He said that he didn't know very much about the matter beyond the fact that his brother in law, Assemblyman Schoeneck, had promised to help him as much as possible. "As I understand it the bill hasn't passed as yet and so of course I haven't got the contract." said Mr.

Warkentine. "I haven't had a talk with my brother in law for some time and it is. not true that County Clerk Wuest has promised to select me as the interpreters' tailor. Of course if I can get the job I am willing to take it. It would pro'baibly be a pretty good thing and I would be able to make some money ou ol the contract.

I used to have a shop in Fulton street, but when times got hard I moved everything home." County Clerk Wuest informed a.n Eagle reporter this afternoon that he had not seen Assemblyman Schoeneck's bill for uniforming Brooklyn interpreters and knew nothing about i't except what he had read in the newspapers. He said that he didn't even believe that it empowered him to select a tailor. He said further that he had never talked with Assemblyman Schoeneck about the bill and, therefore, of course hadn't promised 'to give the work of making the clothes to choeneck's brother in law.

Department of Colorado. VAN BUREN SECURES A DIVORCE. Decree Granted Upon the Evidence of a Seamstress Employed by the Defendant. Justice Maddox, in Supreme Court, Special Term, has granted a decree of absolute divorce to Charles H. Van Buren, a traveling salesman, from Annie M.

Van Buren. A. Val Woodruff, a liquor dealer of Fulton street, near Bedford avenue, was named as corespondent. The Van Burens were married, according to the testimony of the plaintiff! on October 23, ISflu, and have lived at iiS Franklin avenue, at SO Halsey street and afterward in Hackensack, N. J.

It was alleged in the complaint that Woodruff had been a good deal in the com pany of Mrs. Van Buren from the summer of 1S05 to July last. Lizzie Carr of (16 South Portland avenue, a seamstress, went on the witness stand and testified that she had been employed by Mrs. Van Buren at both the Halsey street and the Franklin avenue houses; that Woodruff had been a very frequent visitor in both places, especially on Wednesday afternoons, when Mr. Van Buren was away from home on business; that Woodruff spent much of the time that he was in tho house in the room of Mrs.

A'an Buren. One day, the witness testilicd, ehc went to the house, and, not finding any one, as she supposed, at home, she pushed open the door of a roum and found Mrs. Van Buren there. She retreated, and soon afterward Mrs. Van Buren came out and talked with her.

Mrs. Van Buren was not fully dressed. In June and July in 'Hackensack, witness said, the visits "of Woodruff at the house of the Van Burens was continued. Witness said that Mrs. Van Buren tried to persuade her to go to the Catskills, where there would be many good times in store.

Eva Van Buren Ford, a sister of the plaintiff, testified that Woodruff was a frequent visitor at the Franklin avenue house, and also at Hackensack, last summer. He sometimes stayed as late as 2 o'clock in the morning and was often alone with the defendant in her room. Woodruff, witness said, often brought to Mrs. Van 'Buren spring chickens, lanA chops and oranges, when she was sick. Mrs.

Van Buren now lives in Hackensack. Van Buren testified that he now has no home. ABOUT LONG ISLANDERS. tul.iicr Hail Schricbcr and Overseer Valley Stream visited Aliitm ior this Ilieharrt Dra for Ireland ih Vlcxatnl t' er family of Ocean si.io i Week. nt sati of Ocean Si.

HORSFORD'S Mi PhospitaSe relieves nervous disorders, exhaust tion, headache, wakefulness, etc. Take no Substitute i Proposition of the Board of Education to Buy Shoes for Poor Children Results in. a Tie Vote. Flushing, L. January 28 A special meeting of the Queensborough Board of Edu cation was held at the Morris Building, in i lushing, yesterday afternoon.

Commissioner John S. Powers of Newtown presided. Commissioner Spaeth recommended that the central beard be requested to grant aa appropriation of $250 to be used for the purchase of footwear for needy children, so aa to enable them to attend school. He said there are many children in Long Island City who cannot go to school because they have no shoes, and whose parents are too poor to buy them. Commissioner Callahan said that it would be a bad precedent and that the board would lower itself ny making provisions for the purchase of footwear for poor children.

Other members opposed the proposition, and when a vote was taken on the question it resulted in a tie. The members expressed their opposition to the Ford bill now before the Legislature and the committee on lawe, in conjunction with, the superintendent, was directed to prepare a brief and forward it to the proper authorities, setting forth its objectionable features and suggesting amendments. A petition from residents ot TVhitepoI, Middle Village, for an eight class school in that place, was received and referred to the building committee. The resolution authorizing the purchase of the White Long Island City, was rescinded. The committee recommended, a number of sites for school purposes.

The case of the People ex rel Henry R. Xos trand against Charles H.

In the election of ISO" there were three candidates nominated for councilman in the Seventh Councilmanic District on the Republican ticket, three on the Democratic ticket and thre on the Citizen's Union ticket. It is large Republican district and no Democrat would have been elected had not the Republican vote been divided between the Republican candiates and the Citizens' Union candidates. Adam H.

Leicb, who now represents this district as one of the councilmen, was nominated by both the Republican and Citizens' Union and he therefore recived the full Republican vote which elected him by a large majority over all other candidates. The next candidates receiving the next largest vote were the three Democratic candidates, Captain French of the Twenty sixth Ward. Charles H. Ebbets of the Twenty second Ward and Henry R. Nostrand of the Seventh "Ward.

The vote on candidates on the Democratic ticket ran very close, they were less than one hundred votes apart. As only two the Democrats could hold office the fight resulted between the Democrats as to which two out of the three should be elected. The County Board of Canvassers awarded the certificate of election to Captain French and Charles H. Ebbets; therupon Henry R. Nostrand made an application to Attorney General Hancock for the right to bring an action against Charles H.

Ebbets to try his title to office. In this action thirty six ballot boxes had been opened and their contents recounted, and in net a single district has the count corresponded to the count as originally tabulated by the district canvassers, W.
