ROBERTS WASN'T "MR. RABIT." Little Irene's "Estar" Letter Asking for Trinkets Fell Into the Postmaster's Hands. George H. Roberts, Brooklyn's postmaster, has made a mistake and opened a letter that does not belong to him. But no is not to blame, for this is how It happened: A letter was received at the general post office ic ths Federal uBIlding, yesterday morning, addressed "Mr.

Rabit, Brooklyn, Now York." Ordinarily, "Rabit" and "Roberts" are sufficiently differentiated not to be confounded, but tho post office clerks say they have worse ones than that every day, so the Inquiry department's expert market it "Try Postmaster," feeling quite confident It would hit the addressee in the mind of lhe writer. When the postmaster opened the letter this is what he read: Hear Habit just these file lines to let You know 1 want Pome tlilllR for ei-tar I wont a Imesket of estar and a lnt ef little upmi and a little yeUow duck and a llttte Rabit and a little clilckLiu t-o jilease Dont forget Me estnr Moring from March 27, ltn4. Postmaster Roberts Is a lover of children and doesn't like to disappoint the little ones, so he allowed the Eagle man to publish the letter. In the hope that "Mr. Rabit" would take cognizance thereof and look after Miss Irene's wants on Easter Day.

LITTLE EVIDENCE AGAINST DALY Four of the Five Indictments in Alleged Gambling Case Thrown Out of Court. Four of the five indictments found against Phil Daly, wore thrown out of court this morning by Judge MeMahon in the Court of General Sessions, Manhattan, and the trend of the proceedings later Indicated that tho district attorney's office would have to use much resource to have the fifth indictment kept before the court. When the case opened this morning, Attorney James Rldgway, who Is defending Daly, moved that the case be dismissed, on the ground that the evidence had not sustained the five counts in the Indictment. Tho counts were: (1) Keeping a gambling house on West Forty-fifth street, Manhattan; (2) Operating and maintaining the same; (3) and ft) being a common gambler, and (5) maintaining a public nuisance. Judge MeMahon threw out the first four counts and then asked Assistant District Attorney Lord to point out any evidence the prosecution had offered to sustain any of its charges.

Mr. Lord called the court's attention to the testimony of one witness who had said that Daly had introduced him (the witness) lo the man Weiss as his (Daly's) partner and manager. Judge MeMahon said that something more than casual conversation must be proved to show that a man is a common gambler. The court said that ownership or control must be shown If the prosecution expected him to sustain the remaining count, and, anyhow, if only the remaining count was sustained the whole case would be better out of court. Mr.

Lord remarked that the case waa ono of great importance. Ho said: "I want three-quarters of an hour to show your honor that on like evidence three or four poolroom cases went through the Court of Appeals and were sustained." "Then I will give you until 2 o'clock to prepare for such an argument," Judge MeMahon replied and the cn3e was continued to that hour. HOUSES MUST COME DOWN. City Will Haze Condemned Structures in Brownsville Unless They Are Removed p.t Once. Superintendent of Building." Peter J.

Col- 1'ns to-day served violation notices upon a number of Brownsville property owners whose buildings have been declared unsafe by the department and, unless work of removing the buildings is besun to-morrow, the superintendent will order them torn down. A number of Mr. Collins' inspectors vlslled the Brownsville section a lew days ago and discovered some traino and brick structures lhat were not built according to the laws' provisions ami others were so defective In foundation that they must conio doxa. If the city is obliged to do it. Mr.

Collins has not given out the location of the premises, and will give tho builders or owners a ehar.ee to comply with tho orders of the Bureau of Buildings, but if the demolition is not h-gun to-morrow the addresses will he made public, and they will be razed in a hurry by the city's force. It Is urderstoorl that quite a number of Browno ville builders have endeavored to evade the law, and the bureau has discovered them. Other violation notices will probably have to be served. Tlr- buildings are not cheap and common Ktriietlireta liv snv menn nml the builders will find that there to be no trlflinK with tho department. Mr.

Physicians Worked Hard to Save the Deputy Marshal's Life, but He Did Not Rally. Mm. John E. Thome of 99 Lafayette atreet. wife of United Statea Deputy Marshal Thorno, who gave her huaband a dose of oxalic acid thinking she was administering rgcheile aalts, from the effecu of which died, at o'clock yesterday afternoon, has become so affected by brooding upon her terrible mistake, that she la in a cerlous condition and is not expected to survive Dr.

II M. Rome of 226 Clermont avenue, who has been with the family almost constantly sineu he waa first called to attend Mr Thome, at 7:39 o'clock yesterday morning, said to a friend of the family at noon to-day: Mrs Thome is In a very critical condition. 1 do net expect her to live through the day." Although Mr. Thorne's general health was good he suffered occasionally from stomach trouble, and yesterday morning, as ho was getting ready for business he spoke of not feeling particularly well. On similar occasions Mrs.

Thorne had been In the habit of mixing up sojie rochelle salts and giving the compound to her husband. She accordingly yesterday took what appeared to be a package of salts, but which was really oxalic acid, which was kept in the house for domestic purposes. Being near sighted Mrs. Thorno was not aware of her mistake until after Mr. Thorne had taken the latal dose.

When Mrs. Thorne discovers! Iter error she was overwhelmed with grief. Then Dr. Rome was called In. Lr.

Rome, in speaking of the case, said: "1 was called about 8 o'clock yesterday morning to attend Mr. Thorne, and when I reached his home 1 found that he had taken a dose of oxalic acid by mistake for rochelle salts. He bad taken, so far as 1 could judge, probably two or three teaupoonfuls. He was in a very weak condition, heart action was poor and vtry much depressed. He suffered trom great pain in the legs, back and abdomen and from general bodily pains, such as are usual in cases of the kind.

He. had been vomiting somo time before I reached the house, and as soon aa I got there 1 washed out the patient's etomaeh, gave him hypodermic injections heart stimulants. I also gave him internally, consisting of lime water, white of egg and precipitateu chalk. This treatment stopped the vomiting. Mr.

Thorne took the oxalic acid, as I understand It. at 7:30 o'clock. He vomited for about two hours. "1 remained at the house from 8 o'clock in the morning until Mr. Thome's death, at S'e in the afternoon.

Mr. 1 horne'3 sou, Thomas, first telephoned me at 7:30 In the morning. Dr. E. H.

Bartley. former consulting chemist of the Board of Health and professor In the Long Island College was called in consultation, and everything possible was done for the patient. He seemed to rally In the early part of the afternoon and spoke to thoso around him. Charles Watson had been sent up from the United States marshal's office to Inquire about his condition, and to him he said 'I had a close call, Charlie, evidently believing that he had passed the crisis safely." Mr. Thorne's general health had been very good.

No time was lost in sending for a physician and hardly any time elapsed before Dr. Rowe reached the house. John E. Thorne, who was ono of the best known citizens and Republicans In Brooklyn and who had filled many influential positions, was born In Stuttgart. Germany.

He was CI years old on February 15 last. Ho came lo this country while young and worked his way up. He enlisted In tile United States Marine Corps and subsequently became a sergeant in that organization. Ho was honorably discharged about twenty-seven years ago. He occupied for a number of years a responsible position in one of the departments at the Navy Yard.

He was subsequently appointed clerk of the Brooklyn Board of Aldermen. Later on he was appointed deputy marshal under United States Marshal Charles Haubert and when Charles S. Devoy was elected magistrate of the Myrtle avenue court he was made chief clerk of that court. When the decision of the state Court of Appeals put Magistrate Do-voy and other magistrates out of office Mr, Thorne was reappointed United States deputy marshal. He had received instructions from Secretary Cortelyou to go lo California on business connected with Chinese Immigration matters and expected to leave on his mission on Thursday next.

Mr. Thome was secretary and one of the incorporators of the Tenth Assembly District Republican Club and was formerly secretary of the Kings County Republican General Committee. He was prominently identified with tho Odd Fellows and was a member of a number of Republican and social clubs. He wns a per-soniil friend of Governor Odell, Lieutenant Governor Woodruff, ex-Mayor Schieren, the Rev. Dr.

Gregg and of nK.ny Brookiyiiltes. A warm friend in speaking of him to-day said with mnen feeling: "John E. Thorne was ono of nature's noblemen. There wasn't 'a man of more sterling character. He was honest and generous to a fault a man that would share his last dollar to help his friends.

Yes, he would even get up at midnight to help those whom he believed needed help. His domestic Ufa was of the happiest character and his home like his own life wa3 "full of sunshine. Hn was very fond of flowers and loved to nurture and watch them. He looked after thorn dally and had mnde a little conservatory of his home. One of the lost thoughts of his life was tho plants to which he had given much of his time." Mr.

Thorne was a member of the Lafayelte Avenue Presbyterian Church and attended service there on Sunday afternoon Inst. The news of Deputy Marshal Thorne's death saddened everyone of his fellow of ficials in the Federal Buildim? this morning. "He was as fine a man as we bad in the building." remarked one of them this morning. "His genial face will be sadly mlesed. He was a hard worker and dl'l much for tho Republican party of Kings County.

His unobtrusive manner and modesty kept him from demanding the recognition he might have had. for In point of fact his party organization owed him a grrat deal. The funeral service will be held to-morrow evening at o'clock from his late residence, SO Lafayette avenue. The Rev. Mr.

Armstrong, of Cuyler Chapel, will probably officiate. The Interment will be strictly private. FILIPINOS WERE IGNORED. Washington. March 2H No provision has been made by either the Republican or Democratic national conventions to eeat delegates from the Philippine Islands.

In (he calls for the conventions issued by Chairmen Hnnna and Jones neither the Philippines nor Porto Uico are included among the states and territories entitled to representation. However, should delegates from these islands present themselves to the conventions it Is within the province of the committees on credentials to seat them. The two parties In the Philippines will send dele-gales. DEADLOCK OVER MINE PAY. Pittsburg, March 29 The committee of the United Mine Workers and the coal operators of the Pittsburg district, appointed to adjuet Ihe scale for tie coming year, have deadlocked.

Neither side, It Is said yield to any point and no progress has been made during the five days conferences. The committee is In session again to-day and Mr. Dolan says if the members fall to settle the questions at Issue the condition will be serious. MR. BRYAN PRESENT IN CCURT.

Much Sparring Over Technicalities Re- lating to the Identification of Documents Nesr Haven. March 25 The appeal of William Jennings Bryan from the decision of Judge W. Cleavelaud in the Probate Court In relation to the will of Philo S. Bennett, of which Mr. Bryan is an executor, was heard In the Superior Court to-day before Judge Edwin B.

Gager and a Jury. Mr. Bryan appeals from lhe decree that the "sealed letter" mentioned in the will Is not a part of the will. By this letter Mr. Bennett expressed a wish that Mr.

Bryan have a gift of of which $10,000 was to go to Mrs. Bryan, and S15.000 to be held in trust for their children, the remainder to be for Mr. Bryan himself. After the selection of a Jury Mr. Newton of counsel for the appellant outlined briefly the contents and objects of the "sealed letter." He would have gone into the case in detail had not an objection been entered.

The court said that Mr. Newton hod practically stated the case and that there was no necessity for giving Its entire history. Mr. Bryan was seated at the table with his counsel, but Mrs. Bryan, who accompanied him here from Nebraska, was not lu the court room.

The reading of the appeal occupied half an hour. When James K. Blake, clerk of the Probate Court, was called as the first witness there was much sparring between counsel over technicalities relating to the Identification of the will and the sealed letter from the court records. Every question asked by counsel for Mr. Bryan was objected to by tho other side and there was every indication that the hearing would bo greatly prolonged.

The will was entered as "Exhibit and the sealed letter as "Exhibit Taese entries were for purposes of Identification only, however, and when an attempt was made by counsel for Mr. Bryan, to oiler the sealed letter as evidence, counsel for the appellees immediately objected, saying that when the proper time came he would debate lhe question of the admissabillty of the paper as a matter of law. He held than he sealed letter wns not admissible. At the suggestion of the coudt, the offer of the letter as evidence was withdrawn for the present. Objections wore also made to the admission as evidence of the will and the Inventory of the estate.

Those objections were sustained and the documents excluded temporarily. Alfred P. Sloan, the former partner of Mr. Bennett in the firm of Bennett Sloan of Manhattan, was called, and in answer to questions said that Mr. Bennett had had a deposit vault in tho Merchants Safe Te- poalt Company of Broadway, Manhattan.

Wlt- uess was present wnen tnis vault was opened by a locksmith selected by Mrs. Bennett. A number of private papers were found there, including tho "sealed letter." Mr. Sloan could not positively identify an envelope shown by Air. Newton, which was supposed lo have contained the "sealed letter," and said that he depended entirely upon the inventory of the estate to do so.

In reply to questions Mr. Sloan said he himself gave the "sealed letter" to Judge Clcaveland of New Haven, and Mr. Brvan and Judge Stoddard were present at the time. On cross-examination the witness could not say that the will of Mr. Bennett and the "sealed letter" were In the same envelope.

Recess was taken at this point. WANT BETTER FERRYTERMINALS Sinking Fund Commissioners Postpone Action for Staten Islanders. Division of Fines. Staten Island ferry terminals comprised the first matter taken tip at to-day's meeting of the commissioners of the sinking fund. Borough President Cromwell of Richmond expressed himself as dissatisOed with the general preliminary plans submitted by the Commissioner of Docks and Ferries, and asked a delay of two weeks to complete arrangements by which equal facilities may be arranged for the trolley and steam railroads of Staten Island.

Controller Grout thought there had been delay enough. Ho reminded the Staten Islanders that the leaso under which tho ferry service is operated will expire on Juno 1 next, and declared that delay at this tjme will hinder lhe city's project to assume control. On motion of President Fornes of the Board of Aldermen the commissioners postponed action for two weeks, with tho proviso that dual action shall ho taken then. Deputy Controller Philips, when the commission npproved the partition of certain fines among the societies, reported thai i lie Society for the Prevention of Cruelly lo Animals Had sent in a claim to a proportion of tho fines inflicted in every section the state! for over speedlnix of automobiles Mr. Philips had no record of the amount with him but he said it was pretty large, and as Ihe commissioners have to pay ii, he wanted to prepare them.

The claim of Ihe society had been referred to the corporal Ion counsel, who found It Justified by a law passed about two years ago. There was nothing else, on the calendar of public Interest and the commission art-lonrned after approving the renewal of a dozen or more leases of premises In Richmond. Queens and I ho Bronx used by the different departmenls. DISAPPEARED WITH DIAMONDS. Young Leonard Lnutenberger of Brooklyn Spent Most of the Proceeds in Ploying Pool.

Justice Keogh Denied Motion to Make Complaint Mere Definite in Suit Over Pitcher Mathew3on. Justice Keogh had the opportunity this morning, while sitting in the special terra of the Supreme Court, to hear a good deal about base ball, and particularly what kind of a star pitcher "Christy" Mathewson is, as the latter figured in an action which came up for argument In the suit of Charles Dunn, as assignee of the Norfolk Base Ball Club against the Natlcr.al K.iiihition Company, otherwise known as the New York Flase Ball Club. Dunn sues to recover $2,000 for an alleged breach of contract. The matter came up on an application on the pin of rhe defendants to make the complaint more definite and certain.

The plaintiff alleges that the New York club, in 1900. agreed to pay the Norfolk club $2,000 for the release of Mathewson. then the latter club's pitcher, and the Norfolk eluh was to continue to pay the pitcher's salary. Tho agreement was. according to Lawyer John Ward, counsel for Dunn, that, if Mathewson's work were satisfactory to the New York Club and proved to be a success it waB to pay the Norfolk club the amount tnied for.

Mathewson "made good," said John Ward, and proved to be a strong drawing card. Nevertheless, tho New York Club released him outrlsht at the end of the season, which the plaintiff claims was done to create the impression that It did not wish to keep him. The next day, under the terms of the New York Club's agreement, the Cincinnati Club put in a requisition for Mathewson's services 'for and a few days later traded him back to the YorkU'lub for Rusle, its pitcher, who. a season or so before had been its star pitcher. Then the New York Club refused to pay the Norfolk Club the and Mathewson is still with the New York Club.

"Mathewson is the greatest pitcher in America," said Lawyer Ward, who held that there was nothing the matter with the complaint and to this Justice Kcough assented, saying: "John. I think your complaint Is all right and I will deny the motion." Lawyer Ward was at one time a good deal of a player himself. KILL CHARTER, SAYS REMSEN. Assemblyman Tells of the Stranga Powers of the N. Y.

and Brooklyn Tunnel Company. Albany, March 20 Assemblyman Itcmscn to-day made the following statement in explanation of his bill repealing the charter of the New York and Brooklyn Tunnel Company, upon which there will be a hearing tomorrow: "Assembly bill 071 Introduced by me. soek3 to repeal Chapter 1,011 of the Laws of giving the New York and Brooklyn Tunnel omuany exclusive control of the tunnel prlv-ileg from East Sixteenth street to Whitehall street on the New York of the East liivcr. and f.om North Eighth to Atlantic avenue, on the Brooklyn side. "I'his company has had this franchise since iICi and has made no attempt to construct a tunnel.

I believe the franchise given to this company is entirely too sweeping. I'nder this company's charter, the city cannot build a tunnel without getting the i this New York and Brooklyn Tunnel Company. "Chen it wn decided to build the Williamsburg Bridge it was found that a private company had just such a franchise for bridge purposes that this tunnel company has for tunnel purposes. When the city selects a site anywhere in the district mentioned, which, by the way, is tho business and traffic, section, this company would do just what the other company having the bridge rights, charge the City of New York for the right to build the tunnel.

Fit 'ilia's title was changed cuceior or physical training. For some time did not understand the nature of the change and continued to stKtt her name as director of physical education.

She desisted In this when sac was Informed by Maxwell that her otlicial title was to oct or of physical training. lr. l.au eharsi. at this time of the work in the of the Boroughs of Manhattan and Brcnx. Tho dlsiur'cin clement in the affair ssoms to be Dr.

Luther H. Gulick. On February 1. IH03. Dr.

Ouliclt was appointed director of physical training." His title was put down as such on tho otlicial records and he informed Dr. Reqtia that such was the case. He acted as general director of physical training only about two or three weeks when he began to assume the duties of Dr. Requa. This she objected to and told Sup r-lnteudent Maxwell and lie Board of Education that she would continue to report r.s director of physical training for the boroughs of Manhattan and lironx.

She was then informed that the position Of director of physical training had been abolished and she was now to be an ns-alstant director of physical training. Dr. Gulick continued to do the work formerly done by Dr. Requa, and all protests by the latter failed to bring her any satisfaction. It was plain to Dr.

Requa then that she was to be ousted from her position and a favorite was going to be put in the place, She secured consent and put the case In his bands. More protests were made lo Superintendent Maxwell Hnd the Board of Education and about three weeks ago Dr. Requa received notice that her case had been referred to the committee on by laws. This caused sonic satisfaction to Dr. Requa as it was the only1 time she ha succeeded in obtaining any notice whatever from the board.

The rihie for the investigation has not. been announce .1 nor will ii be publically. I)y the action of Superintendent Maxwell there now exists the position of an assistant: to a position which does not exist. While there Is no bad blood evidenced in thf mailer, there is nevertheless a strong determination on the part of Dr. Requa to fieht the ofier issue 1 by the Hoard of Education, appointing Dr.

Gulick as physical training dire-tor. Dr. Hequa contends thst ft? she formerly held the position as-director of physical trainltiK any order issued appointing nno'her to the position and malting her subservient to this authority is iilegnl. Dr. Requa has pmsistenly refused to recognize the nut'nority of Dr.
