Couney Feels Sure It Will Prove a Keal Attraction to Pleasure Seekers. "Come this way. ladies and gentlemen! See the tiniest little bits of humanity In the world warmed, nourished and fed, given a good fair start to become strong and able-bodied citizens. May be the future President is inside! May be there's another J. Pler-pont Morgan breathing the pure tar scented air! All done by the baby incubator! First appearance since the exposition at Buffalo! Step right in and watch the babies grow well and strong before your eyes." This is about the way the strong-lunged barkers on the board walk have of announcing the newest and perhaps the most Inter-resting exhibit which has found its way to Luna Park.

The great New York public, 'quick to catch the spirit of anything new to coin a phrase to hit it off, has already taken cognizance of Luna Park and with the ready versatility which makes the metropolis the keenest, brightest place -in all the world has christened the mammoth pleasure -ground "Luna-tic Park." Certainly it was queer kink of imagination which led Thompson Dundy to import from Trance as an attraction In a pleasure park -such a contrivance as a baby incubator. But -there it Is, In full blast, babies, warm rooms, baths, nurses and all. It Is at the same time a weird and Interesting spectacle aod a practical education to young parents, in the art of bringing up weak and ill-nourished It should be said at the beginning that the Incubator or bator," as it is called. Is not a thing to appeal to the general run of the Coney Island crowd. When everything bas been said there Is a strong flavor of Incongruity and inappropriateness In Its being there at all.

The very Idea of "spielers" and "barkers" standing before the doorway haranguing the passing throng in an ef fort to divert its shekels for a spectacle so serious, not to say sacred, strikes one lis questionable, almost repellent. This is the first thought as one approaches the place from the oulslile. It. Is only fair to say that as soon as the doorway is passed this feeling immediately passes and the seriousness and value of the system shown excludes all other considerations. The baby incubator Is not a concrete thing like an Ice box or a folding bed; It is a system, and It.

is a system woieu is the result of many years of thought and experiment. Dr. Couney, the phyBleinn who has the exhibit in charge, is a man who has made a life study of the subject, and he has chucu this method to make known the ail of ilia laborB as the most effective manner of creating a popular demand tor such system in every well equipped materniiy hospital. Dr. Couney makes no special claims tor the apparatus he uses beyond the one that he employs throughout his treatment of the children the best and simplest mechanical aids which he has bern able 10 devise.

The apparatus, as the doctor lakes pains to emphasize. Is always a subordinate factor of the system. L'pon entering the first room one sees a long row of what appear to be metal boxes, with glass doors. They stand on supportB about ihree and a half feet from the floor. The glass doors give view of the interiors and on looking more carefully one sees In some of the boxes the babies for whose preservation and sustenance Ihe system is designed.

They lie. Utile pitiful pinched looking waifs, with closed eyes and open mouths, absolutely quint and Inert. The only things which indicate that they are alive are the healthy color of their Utile faces and the faint tluttrrltigs of movement which are perceptible on closer inspection. These buxes of nh kel and glass are the Incubators, At Dr. Couney explained, the theory of the Incubator Is very simple.

The design Is to provide the babies with clean, pure air at the proper temperature, with food to sustain life, and to ward off the possibility of disease and Infection. The air Is brought In pipes from outside the building. Before It passes into Ihe Incubator It Is thoroughly filtered by pausing through six Inches or more of cotton. In all the researches of science there has been no better filter devised to remove floating matter from the air than cotton. When the air reaches the Interior of the baby's bed chamber It Is physically pure.

The next consideration Is the temperature. Many of the babies have a sub-normal temperature and the proper degree of warmth Is absolutely essential lo their life. When a child taken to the Incubator, Or. Couney determines what temperature it should have and, the greatest display of mechanical Ingenuity In the entire exhibition Is shown In maintaining this temperature. A system of heated pipes In the bottom of the box through which the outiide air must pass raises Its temperature, an accurate ther mometer In plain view at the from Indicates It and an automatic thermostat regulates It.

8o delicate Is the thermosiat that when Dr. Couney held a lighted match Inside one of the unused Incubators the bulb on the outside rose almost Instsntaneously from Its place, releasing the heal. As the hot air escaped the bulb gently settled back In lis plate maintaining Ihe temperature at a stationary point. The baby's h-d Is In the upper part of Ihe box A strong nickel plated wire screen, do signed to admit the air from below, support the and clesn linen sheet upon which the child lies. Us head rests upon a rilmlnu tlt pillow, and In this pillow li shown a Mm i I a as wvfr be used.

The objecitoo to the feather pillow la that it absorbs the sour milk and fcaiiva which is rejected by the baby and fur- I nishes a breeding place for disease germs. The pillow used by lr. Couney Is filled with i tarred oakum, which Is removed regularly fery aay But a weakling child cannot live long on pure air. even if it is at the right temperature. Kood must be provided, and In this department of the work the same ingenuity and care la necessary as In providing air and heat.

If the child nurses naturallv. so much the better; but the majority of the babies i for whom the incubator is necessary cannot nurse, and ttany of them cannot swallow; For such as these Dr. Couney has devised peculiar spoon, for which there is a sclen- i title name. The name doesn't matter much the use of the implement is best expressed In the phrase "nose spoon." In these babies the mucous membrane of the mouth and throat is so delicate that It is I next to impossslble for them to take milk through the mouth without choking and re. Jecting the food.

They must be fed drop by drop through the nose. The theory is that the milk passing through the nasai passage falls of lis own weight Into the gullet and passes Into the child's stomach without danger of "going down the wrong way." This is the use of the nose rpoon." Thero are many other Instruments, each doing Its part In some detail of the work. All are designed for simplicity, cleanliness and effectiveness. When the child leaves the incubator proper and is strong enough to live in Ihe open air it la carried Into the next room and placed in a stationary cradle. This cradle Is pendant from a support.

It is a basket o( wire, with a covering of gauze. This Is the nurses' room, and there the little ones receive the care and attention which is necessary to keep them clean. It Is a room where everything Is in the place where It can do the greatest good. The little bath tubs are at Just the right height. They are protected by a sliding cover to keep the temperature of the bath even.

The sponges, soaps, towels, powder and all other necessaries are within easy reach. There Is nothing extraordinary or sensational In this room. It is merely an ideal place to take care of a baby. The general public is not permitted to enter here. Through the great plate glass wall which fills one side, mothers and fathers can watch the nurses at work and the babies sleeping In their cradles, but It would not be safe to permit so many persons to pass through.

Back of this room is the nurses' dormitory, which is entirely private. As far as possible all the nursing in the bator" system is done naturally until the child reaches the age when It can be weaned. The absence of any noise in the presence of a dozen or more babies is somewhat startling, but. it certainly speaks for the well being of the. Infants.

Everywhere white tiling and nickel give not only the appearance but the reality of cleanliness, and. as Dr. Conner said last night, this is the "Incubator" as much as Is the nickel and glass box. The bator" is not an exhibit to appeal to the curious or vujp-ar. and happily there are no Indications that It is to be taken that way.

It Is a sober, scientific exhibit, calculated to give, valuable hints to mothers of children. The serious and attentive demeanor ef those who patronized It on the first day Indl-ate that it la to be so received. OBITUARY. Hugh McAleer. Hugh McAleer.

Me was horn In Brooklyn January 18. and had been a life-long resident of this borough, where he was prominent and popular. For many years he was an acknowledged authority on foot ball, being ihe Inventor and publisher of a score card now used at the foot ball matches. He was a leader In cycling and was one of those who through the efforts of Ihe Good Roads Association, of which he was an officer, put through the cycle path to Coney Island. He organized the Nassau Athletic Club of Brooklyn and was an active and leading member of Ihe York Press Club, being treasurer shortly before his Illness compelled him to retire.

His bodyiwlll be Incinerated at Frcah Pond. a He's Not Going to Jamesport, and Rumor Says He'll Have a Saratoga Summer. p0JTCAL ERVE CENTER, Tammany Leaders Will, Most of Them, Be at the Springs Mayoralty-Conferences Likely.

Hugh McLaughlin denied thia afternoon the report that rte is going to Saratoga this Bummer. There Is a doubt about his going to James-port. L. I. That Is his usual place of summer residence; but around the auction room is said that he probably will not go there this year.

This statement, which has been repeated many times during the psst week, has given rise to a lot of guessing among the faithful. Some have said that the veteran will go to Greenport, which used to be popular place with him. Others have said that but for the extremely dry and dusty weather he would have been over In New Jersey long before this. Still others and these are Democrats who lieve that McLaughlin is playing a fine game of city politics In conjunction with one David B. Hill, a friend of his in Albany, N.

and a new congressman named Timothy D. Sullivan, who Is Influential In Tammany Hall-are asking the question: "Is he going to Saratoga?" Mr. McLaughlin's denial did not entirely suppress affirmative opinions in the auction room. One leader said this afternoon: "He will probably go. It Is the only way he can keep In touch with the Intrigue of a situation that has a highly Important bearing on the Integrity of his leadership." Another leader said: "Pooh, pooh! Why should he, at his age, break into the Spa? Shevlin and McCarren will be there to look after thei Interests of the Wllloughby street machine." Mr.

McLaughlin made his last, memorable visit to Saratoga on September 29, 1S02. On that occasion he did not confide his inten tions to anybody In advance of the event, but when train time came, put on his frock coat and silk hat, summoned Mrs. McLaugh lin, and started on his Journey, flanked by ex-Bridge Commissioner John L. and ex-Police Commissioner Bernard J. York.

It was a pleasant surprise to the Important assemblage of Hlli Democrats at Saratoga, who met him at the station with a brass band, and serenaded him a second time under the piazza of the Grand Union Hotel in the evening. If Mr. McLaughlin should change his mind and go to the Spa I his summer it will please a great many Brooklyn and Tammany Democrats who will be there. Besides James Shevlin and Senator Mc-Carren, such Important local Democrats as Robert Furey, ex-Senator John McCarty, James Bouck, Martin W. Littleton and William A.

Doyle may be there. Still others would be attracted by his presence. The delegation from Tammany will include also most of the influential leaders. Charles F. Murphy will be there, it is expected, for a few days.

Congressman Sullivan, who kept away laat year because he dldn want to be conspicuous in the state compalgn, will have no such reason for absenting himself this year. Alderman "Young Tim" Suiivan, who may ha the Tammany candidate for borough president, and Leader Florriu Sullivan of the Eighth Manhattan district will be there. Alderman Gaffney of the Eighteenth District, Civil Justice Daniel E. Finn of the First, Senator Bernard F. Martin of the Fifth and his brother, James J.

Martin, of the Twenty-seventh; John T. Oakley of the Fourteenth. Daniel F. Mc-Mahon of the Seventeenth, John B. Sexton of the Nineteenth, Mattie- Donohue of the Twenty-first.

Frank Lantry of the Twenty-second. Stniitor Victor J. Dowling of the Twenty-fourth, George F. Scannell of the Twenty-fifth, Tom Dunn of the Twenty-sixth, Senator James J. Frawley of the Thirty-second and Borough President Haffen of the Bronx are some of the Influential Tam mauy men who will be attracted to the Spa by the races and the discussion of the city ticket, to say nothing of John J.

Scannell, John Whalen, John Halloran and Lewis Nixon, who will have something to say about the programme for the campaign. John Fox, the president of the Democratic Club, and Andrew Freedman, as well as John F. Carroll, won't be there; they are going to Europe. Mr. McLaughlin's presence In Saratoga will be especially desirable.

It. is said, on account of the probability that, the Democratic State Committee may assemble then lo nominate Judge Denis O'Brien, for the Court of Appeals and to lay some plans. Incidentally, for action to be taken next year to promote the presidential Interests of David B. Hill. This committee, which was named In Saratoga or, October 1.

1f02, is apparently a strong Hill committee. A prominent Tam many leader analyzed it as follows this afternoon: For Hill J. J. Kenney. New Brighton: Hugh McLaughlin.

Total. 7. Mr. McLau-hlln's Influence with the state committee, this Democrat says, Is greater than Mr, Hill's, since, apart from the Hill strength, he holds familiar relations with those members of the state committee who would prefer to see Chief Judge Alton B. Parker nominated by the Democrats for President.

Bl Bill Devery's speech al Ihe Lyceum Theater last evening was under discussion the auction room this afternoon. The discussion resulted In the determination not to enter any specific denials of Devery's nvmernus charges against the Wllloughby street leaders. There Is a feeling that no advantsge to he gained by entering Into a controversy with Devery. The policy of the local Democratic organization will probably he during the whole campaign to ignore the ex-chlef of police. By way of exception to this rule when the right opportunities are presented things will be raid to Identify the Devery mayoralty can didacy with the Interests of Fusion.

Already the statement Is quite generally current In many assembly districts that Devery's campaign expmses hav been guaranteed by the Fuslonlsts. Mr. McLaughlin dismissed Ihe subject this afternoon by saying- "I'm noi going lo talk about Devery. I think to-dsy Just as I did several days aau, when I said that If the health commissioner does not remove Devery to Barren Island the Mayor ought to remove the health com-mistioner." Mr. McLaughlin's attention was called to Devery's miemenl concerning Brooklyn docks.

He sild: "I hsve never hsd anything to do with the docks." "Devery says you have goH enough In your hmise to run a government sssay office," somebody suggested. I "ift true," tsll McLaughlin, ft 8 7 10 11 12 saya. Is erroneous. He boarded with a family named Cerlno, at 274 Fast New York avenue, and the people In the neighborhood tnougnt a good deal of him. Aa far as 1 can learn," said Vachrls to Eagle reporter thia morning.

"Flano was very good man, liberal to his frlende and much esteemed by those who knew him. His only mistake, as far as I have beer, able to learn, was that lie was boastful of the fact that he was saving money. He frequently exhibited his 'wad' to his friends and they were not slow In making use of his good nature when they needed money. It was quite common for him to loan money his friends and, tinlike many another money lender of his country, he charged no interest. That made him popular with his fellows.

I think the object of the man who shot hira In that lonely factory was to steal his money. He carried it about with him the time and, as you know, he had over $MH) In his pockets at the time he was shot." "But if robbery was the motive, is it likely that the men would have left the money In his pocket after they had disabled him? asked the reporter. "Under the circumstances, yes." was the reply. "Flano made a great outcry and his shouts for help were heard by Ihe watchman In Highland Park. It is not at all unlikely that the men who were doing this business knew of the nenr presence of the watchman quite well.

My theory Is that the men got scared and, like the dogs they were, ran away." "Now," continued the detective, "this man did not know the men who shot him. They were not acquaintances of his, as far as known. At the hospital he was barely able to talk, but while he had strength left he had a talk with one of the detectives of the precinct. He said that there were thre? men and that they wore black derbies. He told the order that they spoke to him tn English, but that his Impression was that they were Italians.

Just how he reached that conclusion I do not know, for he was not able to talk much about It. Put this notion of Mafia out of your mind In connection with this case. There was no Mafia In at and, as far as I have been able to learn, and 1 have seen many of his friends, there was no desire for vengeance in his case. He had not been in Italy since ho came here seven years ago. The dead man has a widow and two children In the old country.

He regularly sent them $10, and sometimes more, a month, and, as far as I have been able to learn. It was his Intention to bring I hem out here. He thought a great deal of hla people on the other side." "It la a mistake to say that he was employed as a watchman In the factory. There is an apparatus In the factory for the distillation of coal tar and It is necessary to keep the still working all the time. It was Flano's duty to walch the still at night and that is how he came to be in the place on the night of the murder." II Is clear that Vachrls.

who has a wide acquaintance among Italians and who knows much about their methods of operation, is for the present committed to Ihe theory that robbery wai the object of the murderers and that the men went there for Ihe purpose of relieving the man of his money. Vachrls believes that he will reach a solution of the case soon Rnd that he will be able lo land the murderers. To-day he was trying to find from the conductors of Ihe cars on Cypress avenue and Jamaica lines if three suspicious characters passed over the ronds mentioned on Ihe night of the murder. IN MR.

IN TIE FUND RILLING." Thwarted Plan of Robbery His Theory of Evergreen Watchman's Death. QUEENS POLICE GET ACTIVE.

Informed by Dying Man That Strangers Shot Him, They Promptly Arrest His Best Friends, (Special to the Eagle.) Elmhurst, L. 4 llotentlvps Connors and Patrolman Peltz of the Seventy- seventh (Newtown) Precinct, arrested Luigo VeBCauH, 43 ycar-i old, and Angclo RoRglere, 32 years old of Atlantic and Kockaway ave-nueB, Brooklyn, on the charge of being Implicated In the murder of Carmine Fiano, the watchman at Lyons' lampblack factory, Cypress avenue. Evergreen, who was shot Ave times early yesterday morning. Both Vescault and Rogglere are employes In Lyon's factory and were arrested late yes terday afternoon at the factory by the offi cers. Both professed ignorance as to why they were arrested, but acknowledged they knew the dead man and that they associated with him.

Those two men were the last ones seen with Flano Tuesday night and they were seen with him about 9:30 and Just previous to the time the three men approached Flano and aaked him if he worked there all night. The prisoners do not deny that they were with the murdered man previous to his being shot, and at first answered questions readily when asked by an Italian Interpreter, but when he questioned them about the shooting they claimed they could not understand his questions. Acting Captain Plnkerton of the Seventy-seventh Precinct and hie detectives are working hard on the caBe, and In the arrest of the two prisoners they believe they have two of the trio who are accountable for Finno's death But they cannot understand why he should have been snot, for robbery was not ihe motive, and this Is evidenced by the fact that the $fill that Fiano had sewed In his clothes was Intact when be was taken to the hospital. The genernl supposition among the police and the townspeople Is that Flano was the victim of the Mafia, or some Italian secret society. The police heard yesterday a story that Fiano and the two prisoners were implicated In a stabbing affray In Pacific street, Brooklyn, two yearn ago, and that Flano when arrested had a razor In his possession.

He was sentenced, according to the story, to one month in Jali, ami when his time expired he disappeared from his old haunts and associates and was only recently found by his friends among whom are the prisonersworking In Lyon's lamp black factory, where the I wo men now under suspicion also worked. Acting Captain Plnkerton obtained an ante-mortem statement from Flano, In which he snid, "I do not know why I was shot anil do not know who shot me. Before 1 started my work, three men whom I could not recognize askrd me if I worked all night and I said, They went away and just after I was through firing the ntitla. I heard a noise, and going outfiide I saw the three men again, one of v.hom said something to me which I did not understand, and then one of them shot me five times. Tbe men were total strangers to me and I do not remember having seen anv of them before.

I know they were short, shout five feet tall, stocklly built, anil one man wore a light, soft hat and had a black mustache." The police doubt the murdered man's statement, for It Is a well known fact that Italians will shield each other, even If they are dying. The description given by the dead man tallies exactly with Vescnult, who wore a light, soft hat and has a black mustache and black hnlr. He is short, and stocky, as is the other prisoner. After being examined by the captain the prisoners were locked up In the Newtown police station, and were held without ball, upon being arraigned this morning, to await the action of the coroner. Captain Plnkerton says that the other person Implicated In the affair will be arrested some time to-dsy, for his olflcers are on his track.

Another peculiar phase of this rase is the statement of a hotel keeper living near Lyon's factory. He soys he heard screams end shots and dressed himself at once and lighted every lamp in his hotel. He then looked out of his window and saw a man leave Lyon's factory, walk up one hill and down again, up another hill and then climb over his fence and call for help. The hotelkeeper said he went down stairs at once, hut could not find the msn coming from the fsctory. The police discredit this storr and say It would have been Impossible for Flsno lo have gone that far and bark again to the fsctory.

for he was shot five times, once In the abdomen, twice In the arm and twice In the breast. Mr. Lyons, the proprietor of the factory, told a reporter that he believed now that some soctv had a grude against Flano and when they found out that he wan working late at night they thought It the beet, time to kill hlpi and escape, for the factory Is lo. later! In a large field, away from the road and at night very few people are In that lo callty. Brooklyn Police at Work.

SAYS WELLS Popular Fears That It Would Lead to Higher Tax Bills Prove Groundless. AN EQUALIZATION OF VALUES. Net Increase In Greater New York's Total Valuation Is In his report for the quarter ending March 31, which has Just, been submitted to Mayor Low. President Wells of the Department of Taxes and Assessments, says that, the wisdom of assessing property at Its full value hag been amply Justified hy the results thus far. Mr.

Wells says that Ihe assessment figures under the new plan, which will determine the lax rate for 1WM, will be ready by the end of the month, and he has no doubt that when property owners see how the plaa works they will be well satisfied. "The fears," snys Mr. Wells, "expressed by many that It would lead to higher tax bills have proved groundless, and those who early opposed it are now among the most ardent, supporters of the method adopted. "Increased asaesaed valuations, on tho basis of strict compliance with the law, have resulted In a more perfect equalization of values, and this has mado possible an equitable distribution of the burdens of taxation, the estimated result being lower tax bills to the majority of taxpayers In the City of New York. "The books of annual record of the assessed valuation of real and personal property In the several boroughs were open for public Inspection, examination and correction, as required by sections 892 and S93 of the charter, from the second Monday ot January to the first day of April, and tha fullest opportunity whs given to property owners to ascertain the amount of their assessments and to apply for correction of the asscused values, ell her In real or personal estate.

"Tbe commissioners have given Impartial consideration to the applications made for cancellation or reduction of assessed valuations, and will continue to do so during tha statutory period when action can be taken on applications filed prior to April 1, it. being their desire that the completed rolls on the first day of June shall contain as Just and equitable an assessment of tho taxable property in the Ureal er New York as It waa pot'Hlble to secure." Wells says that the total valuation of renl estate by sections, or wards, in the five boroughs, on the second Monday in January of tills year, when the books of record were firet opened for Inspection, was a net Im-reaae over the total valuation of 1:103 of ji.4i:t.!iiri.r.o'.'. These figures furnish a fair idea of what the total valuation for thin year will be, year's valuation was based on the part value sysicm. President Wells In his report, says that the assessed valuation and increase of real estate In "ach of he five boroughs for was as follows: 1M. in.
