FINE SHOW BY THE POLICE, BUT MARCHING WAS BAD. Annual Parade Justified the Title "Finest" in More Ways Than One. CAPTAINS ANXIOUS TO BE SEEN. Kalting of Lines to Catch the Eye of Commissioner McAdoo Led to Confusion. There were two material points about the police parade yesterday which might have been noticed by taxpayers who are willing that the city should give $1,400 a year to every man who patrols the streets in brass buttons.

One was that as a whole the policemen are mighty fine fellows, well set up, as soldiers are, Inordinately fat spots, beefy at times as a matter of course, but in the main, well-built, athletic fellows. The other point was that they were bloomin' bad soldiers, so far marching went. There never was, in the history of the police force, such a poor showing from the standpoint set forth in the manual of arms. There was not really a company in the entire three brigades that was a credit to the training that the men have been undergoing for the last month or two. How it happened that when the men came in double file before the grand stand they broke into all sorts of curious sinuosities is a puzzle to those who have been training them.

This sinuosity was more noticeable in the companies which formed the regiment from the Manhattan precinets. The Brooklyn men did better, although their showing was not good. But in the Manhattan precincts the men were in bad shape just as soon as they began to near the grand stand, where Mayor McClellan and Commissioner MeAdoo were waiting to give them the heartiest sort of commendation. That the Brooklyn precincts, the tail of the parade, came up in pretty good line was not at all surprising, but the leaven of evil in the manual of arms was plainly visible. They had been mixing up with the men of Manhattan, who like display more than real hard work, and they were nervous and distr acted as soon as they reached the grand stand.

Tne commanding officers themselves were largely responsible for the poor showing made by the men. she captains or commanding sergeants halted just betore reaching the reviewing stands, and, with company lines SO close, the stop made by the commanding officer, just as he was about to make his fine salute to the Mayor, threw the men behind him out of alignment. It was not entirely their fault for the captain of each company was trying to make the best impression he could as the line swung in front of the Mayor and the Police Commissioner. He naturally pate until he got his club at the proper angle and as ne paused the lines behind him swung up into position. The captain, with an eye cocked on the grand stand, was not thinking of alignment in his desire to make a good impression and the consequence wag that each company, which had marched bravely up Broadway bellied out and backward in the middle to make room for the halting commander.

That was what caused the trouble and which made the policemen, ordinarily well drilled soldiers in their way, look like a lct of raw recruits. The bad marching was most noticeable with the men from the Manhattan precincts. When the Brooklyn men came along they did better. The commanding officers were not looking for the commissioner and they kept eyes front in the main as they passed the reviewing stand. There were one or two notable exceptions to this general rule among the Brooklyn men.

One Brooklyn captain nearly doubled in two to impress the men in power and be threw his line out of order. The Brooklyn men were at the tail of the line. They had had the hardest time, because they had to wait until the parade was nearly over. Yet they held the interest of the throngs on the two graud stands at the Worth Monument and their marching was commented on as the best in the whole line. They had not forgotten their early instructions under the late William McKelvey, Henry L.

Jewett and Patrick H. McLaughlin, and they seemed like good soldiers, all of them. The line of march was from the foot of Broadway, Manhattan, and the start was made promptly as scheduled, at 1:45 o'clock. It was just at that hour when the line swung from the side street into Broadway with Inspector Cortwright, "the honest cop," at the head of the parade. The police band led all the other bands, played well and received an ovation that stirred the heart of every man jack of them.

The high buildings that lined Broadway were thronged with people and from every window there streamed ticker tape in fringed lacework, caught up by the wind that carried it here and there and all about. There was another diversion on the part of the people in the high buildings. Some ingenious person had clipped the ticker tape into fragments and there was a shockingly cold snowstorm of paper to freeze the men from the twelfth and fourteenth stories of some of the big structures. The paper, giving the impression of bitter coldness, fluttered down into Broadway just as Inspector John Wiegand, with the spunkiest kind of a horse, was passing. Wiegand, who is now counted as one of the Brooklyn men.

is an old cavalryman and knows what a horse is. He did not need an orderly, as Inspector Donald Grant did, to poke the poor steed in the ribs to keep him in some sort of line. His horse went side-stepping up Broadway like the steed in a cireus ring and Mr. Wiegand seemed 10 enjoy it all, in queer contrast to Grant, who was plainly unhappy. His orderly had a hot time of it, but Grant got ovations by the score, for he 1s an exceedingly popular and beautiful man.

Inspector McLaughlin of Brooklyn and Queens got a lot of applause, for he, like Wiegand, is a fine horseman. Inspector Murphy was also well received, as were Inspectors Baldwin. Kane and Albertson. There was much applause along the line of march for Inspector Schmittberger, and "Chesty" George McClusky was plainly popular because of the fine reception he got all along the line. Inspector Titus also got a lot of cheering from the men along the line.

The praise for the policemen, in hand clappings and shouts extended from the Battery to the Worth monument, where the reviewing stand was. There were all of the prominent city officials gathered there. In deference to precedent, the Rhinelanders gave the Commissioner, the Mayor and the deputy commissioners a luncheon before the review, and they got to the reviewing stand shortly before 4 o'clock. Major Ebstein, who gets as much homage from the policemen as if he were still a potent factor with them in their hopes and worries, was on the grand stand looking bemignly over the boys, some of whom he had helped to promote to good Jobs. He was not a bit pleased with their display, albeit he was diplomatic enough to say for publication that they were a fine body of men, a ment not to be gainsaid.

But he is an old soldier he knows how soldiers should march. He had other Brooklynites near him on the stand, Controller Grout and Dr. A. W. Ford.

It was 4 o'clock before the head of the cession reached the grand stand. Before that hour there had been a presentation of modals to the policemen who had earned them during the year. Ten minutes before the hour set for the head of the parade to reach the reviewing stand, the "medal men" -those who had been decorated previous years and the three who were to be honored in all, led by Sergeants Stahl and Schlepp, marched down the avenue and lined up in front of the stand. Mayor McClellan, his secretary and Commissioner MeAdoo left their places and approached the line of police heroes, Patrolmen Michael J. Coyne, Christopher C.

O'Brien and Joseph M. MeNierney were then called from the ranks by the Commissioner. The three policemen who had. without flinching faced death to save their fellows, A COMPANY OF BROOKLYN POLICEMEN PASSING THE REVIEWING STAND. blushed and hesitated for an instant when they found themselves in the center of the cheering multitude.

Coyne was presented with the Rhinelander medal, for jumping into the East River and saving the life of John Harkness. O'Brien was presented with the Isaac Bell medal for rescuing Charles Anderson from beneath blazing Metropolitan street car 011 which he was working. McNierney got the Meyer medal for saving Max Albert, a boy 7 years old, from drowning in the East River. He carried him in his arms to the Flower Hospital. Mayor McClellan pinned each of these medals on the policemen's coats.

After the presentation of the medals the officials returned to the grand stand and waited for the parade to come up. It reached the reviewing stand at about 4 o'clock and until 4:50 o'clock there was a constant stream of policemen passing in review. It was odd that the Brooklyn men in the line reeived as much of the applause as the others, rather more, as a matter of fact. Miles O'Reilly, the redoubtable exCzar of the Tenderloin, got applause all along the line, Captain Dooley, the King of Coney Island. also got a lot of cheering.

Captain Rooney of the Amity street station, who is regarded as white-haired on the entire East side, also found many friends in the crowd on the grand stand, and so did Captain Holahan, who was in the Delancey street station for a long time. Captain Velsor, the old veteran of the force, and Captain Short. another of the veterans. was recognized and lcudly cheered. There were several of the officers of the Forty -eighth Highlanders of Canada on the grand stand, glorious in their kilts and plaids and sporrans.

They had never seen such a brave display before in any police force, but most of them had had limited opnortunities. "To think," said one of them, "that all these fine men are policemen. I do not believe that you could get 5,000 better specimens of sturdy manhood anywhere else en the face of the globe. It is no wonder that the force of New York is considered the finest police force in the world." The general impression was that it was a mighty fine police force, and that there was nothing in the world to compare with it. The personnel of the department clearly is much improved in the last few years, but they need drilling, more drilling, If they want to pose as a quasi-military organizaticn.

CRASH ON A SURFACE LINE. Four Persons Badly Hurt in Collision Between Trolley Car and Moving Van, While a heavy moving van, loaded with furniture, was crossing the tracks at Broadway and Wallabout street, just before 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and attempting to turn on the downtown track, it was struck by a rapidly moving car of the Broadway line and its occupants hurled into the street, all being more or less severely injured, while several of the passengers on the car were badly shaken up and the others badly scared. The van was owned by Michael Sierr of 410 Baltic street, who was driving. The driver's seat is elevated quite a distance from the ground, and when the car struck the van it. broke down the front axle of big wagon, causing forward part of the van to fall to the ground.

Sierr was thrown 'to the ground, his -body describing a parabola as he shot through the air before reaching the pavement. His son Andrew, a -lad of 12, who was on the seat with him at the time, was thrown to the street. landing: on his shoulder, which was dislocated by the force of the collision. Petrick O'Connell, a helper, living at 405 Warren street, and Peter Martin, another 116- sistant, living at 426 Warren street, who were standing up at the time, were hurled to the ground and rolled over the two Sierrs as the former lay on the ground. The collision brought the car to a standstill and an excited crowd gathered around the wounded men, who were picked up and a hurry call was sent to St.

Catherine's Hospital for an ambulance. The ambulance from St. Catherine's was out at the time and the Eastern District Hospital ambulance was sent to the scene. Dr. Shanks, the ambulance surgeon, found that the elder Sierr was cut about the face and head, beside being dazed by the accident.

Young Sierr, beside having his shoulder dislocated. suffered from contusions of the body and forehead. The other men were not badly hurt and after having their wounds dressed were sent home. ang Sierr wag taken to the hospital. The names of the injured passengers in the car could not be ascertained.

Two panes o' glass in the front part of the car were broken and a shower of broken glass wag sent over the passengers. The fender was doubled up and the dashboard bent in. The motorman escaped without injury. AN IMPORTANT PROBLEM. After all, there is no problem in Brooklyn more important than that of educating the children.

The influence on their own lives and the influence on the future of borough will be large or little, just as the state and the parents laboring in conjunction work efficiently or inefficiently. Why this is so is shown in the article, the filth of the series on Brooklyn problems, which, under the head of "Provision for the Accommodation of Children in the Public Schools," will be printed in the Brooklyn Daily Eagle on Wednesday, May 11. CONFERENCE ON WAR LOAN. It Is said that there will be a conference of bankers in Manhattan to-morrow make arrenzoments for the flotation here of the Japanese war loan, $25,000,000 of which has been taken by Kuhn, Loeb Co. VANDERBILT'S NEIGHBORS FIGHT ROAD CLOSING PLAN Want Highway Running Through His Great Neck Estate Kept Open.

OFFERS TO GIVE TOWN ANOTHER. That Does Not Suit the Natives, Who Say Present Highway Is What They Want, (Special to the Eagle.) Mineola, L. May 7--The fourth hearing of the commission appointed by County Judge Seabury to determine whether a road running through the estate of William K. Vanderbilt, from the Hyde Park to the Great Neck road, at Lake Success, shall be ciosed, and the owner permitted to substitute a macadam highway extending from the Lakeville road to the Little Neck road, took place at Allen's Hotel to-day, and from the testimony of nearly a dozen townsmen, sore of whom have resided in the vicinity for over twenty-five years, the old road is both useful and necessary and affords most picturesque view to the numerous par" ties who drive over It for pleasure. Considerable opposition Mr.

Vanderbilt's project to close the road was manifested by testimony, and a few of the witnesses admitted it openly. Lawyer Lynn Bruce appeared for the opposing forces and at the outset of the bearing moved to have the proceedings dismissed, contending that Mr. Vanderbilt had failed to prove facts suthcient. to warrant the commission in granting the application; that it uppears from the evidence that the Town of North Hempstead is owner of a piece of land situated between the highway in question and Lake Success, and that if the application was granted the town would be denied access to this land. He contended.

further that there was no evidence upon which a finding could be made by the commission to declare the road useless. Counselor William F. Wyckoff for Mr. Vanderbilt opposed the motion to dismiss the proceedings. He said Mr.

Bruce's contention that the town held title to a piece: of ground 01 the road to be closed was not correct. It would be a serious objection to Mr. Vanderbilt's plan if the town did own it. He said Mr. Vanderbilt owned all the land on either side of the road to the lake, and had deeds in evidence showing that.

Mr. Bruce wanted to know if the lease to the strip near the lake was included. Counselor Wyckoff said it was, whereupon Counselor Bruce maintained that under the law the town could not be deprived of its rights as landlord. Counselor Wyckoff contended that Mr. Vanderbilt had an easement of the right of way to the strip which the town claims to oWn and a deed from the Stephen Cornell estate to this right of way the town claims to own.

Lawyer Bruce claimed the road was recognized as a highway for twenty years and offered in evidence copies of papers from the town clerk's office, dating back to 1820 in relation 10 the road. Lawyer Bruce scored the highway commissioner for neutrality in the proceedings when he offered a paper in evidence tending to show the road had been recognized by the commissioners, and Lawyer Frederick Watriss for the highway officers interposed an objection to the commission accepting the papers. Mr. Bruce said: "These highway commissionere cannot blow hot and cold at the same time. They refused to close the road as Mr.

Vanderbilt desired, and the presumption is the denial was made for good cause. The road is either a highway or it is not. The highway commissioners should vot sit on the fence, and apparently try to shirk their responsibility by neutrality in the proceedings." John S. Coles, Albert A. Van Nostrand, Frederick Wooley, Isaac W.

Arthur, Henry P. Allen, Richard E. Allen, Henry. P. Allen, Daniel S.

Wooley and John C. Baker were the witnesses sworn, and all agreed that the road was necessary, afforded a fine pleasure drive, and if Mr. Vanderbilt opened a new road, the old one might still be of use to persons residing in the vicinity of it to make a short cut from Great Neck to Floral Park or New Hyde Park. The witnesses said there had been created a large mud hole near the lake since Mr. Vanderbilt had been living there, which made the road impassable in places.

Some of the witnesses thought the closing of the road would be a serious inconvenience. It could, they thought, be put in good order for small expense. One of the witnesses said he tried to get through the road this morning, but not unless he had a boat. Lawyer Wyckoff established the fact that the mud hole was in the road before Mr. Vanderbilt came to Lake Success, but witnesses said it was only there in spring or after a heavy rain.

The commission adjourned the hearing to June 3 at 9 A. M. RAN OVER A LITTLE BOY. Unknown Manhattan Driver Then Whipped Up His Team and Made His Escape. William Johnson, 7 years old, of 245 Union avenue, while playing in the street yesterday afternoon in front of his home was struck by a wagon driven by an unknown man and run over.

The boy was thrown to the pave: ment and the wheels of the wagon passed over him, severely injuring the child about the legs. The driver did not stop when the child screamed, but looked back over his shoulder and some of the bystanders say threw him a nickel and told him to stay in the house. He whipped up his horses and started off at a gallop, but not before several of the witnesses managed to make out the address on the wagon, which was 27 Suffolk street, Manhattan. The case was reported to the police of the Herbert street station, and detectives are making an effort to find the man, hoping to locate' him by means of the wagon. Dr.

Shanks of the Eastern District Hospital was summoned to attend the injured boy. ARBOR DAY EXERCISES AT P. S. 129 Exercises appropriate to Arbor Day were beld yesterday afternoon in Public School No. 129.

Quincy street, near Stuyvesant avenite. While an interesting programme of songs and recitations was in progress in the assembly room. the classes of smaller children marched in line to the school yard singing with spirit and enthusiasm songs appropriate to the day. As each child passed along, he deposited, a little earth about the ampelopsis vines which were planted at the corners of the building. The care of these vines is entrusted to the children.

The exercises in the yard closed with the singing of patriotic songs. CATHEDRAL LEAGUE MEETS. The Cathedral League of the Diocese cf New York held its annual meeting yesterday afternoon in the gymnasium of the cathedral house, Manhattan. Robert G. Hone, the president, was in the chair.

Officers were elected and at the close of the. business meeting Bishop Potter made a brief address, in which he expressed warm appreciation of the work of the league. GAVE CHILD ACID BY MISTAKE. Jacob Levine, a shirtmaker of 612 East Eleventh street. Manhattan, reported to the coroners' office yesterday afternoon that his 7 days old son died yesterday morning from the effects of a half: teaspoonful of carbolic acid given for medicine by mistake by the nurse.

There have been no arrests in the case, but Coroner Jackson is investigating. SPECIAL SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENTS, THE VERY BEST! NOTHING BETTER! OLD HOLD CROW CROW RYE FOLD CROW Jour see PURE, WHOLESOME, EL B.Kirk Co B. Kirk Co PALATABLE, HONEST WHISKEY H. B. KIRK Sole Bottlers, N.

His body, in a purple velvet with heavy silver trimmings, was followed to the grave with all the marks of honor and distinction his former associates could show. Nearly one thousand men, wearing crape badges, to show to what particular labor organization each belonged, marched behind the hearse that carried the dead leader. The procession left the Parks home shortly after 2 o'clock, marched to Ninety-second street, Then the route was east to the ferry, and thence to the place of interment, Middle Village Lutheran Cemetery, L. I. 48 the casket was lifted from the hearse at the ferry, the paraders stood bareheaded on either side of the roadway.

All along the line of march the sidewalks were crowded. with sightseers, and women and children occupied every window. Leading the proce3sion were two carriages, filled with floral pieces, most of them bearing the inscription: "Our Leader." Immediately after the flowers marched the labor men, preceding the hearse. Following the men marchers were the. pallbearers in carriages.

There were twenty-four carriages, but nine of them were empty until at the ferry those of the marchers who wanted to go to the grave were accommodated with seats. Mrs. Parks, with three women friends, had the first carriage. The pallbearers were, nearly all members of the United Board of Business Representatives of Labor Organizations, of whom for extortion.

Parks was a member before his conviction Church, on Eighty-fourth street, of which Funeral services were a held in the house Mrs. Parks is a member, officiated. None but the most intimate friends of the widow were invited because of the smallness of the rooms.

Body Placed in Receiving Vault at -Lutheran Cemetery. Corona, L. May 7-Less than 600 people assembled at Lutheran Cemetery at Middle Village to witness the closing epoch in the career of the one time champion of labor, Samuel Parks, this afternoon. The funerni procession arrived at the cemetery about 4:30 P. M.

Following the hearse were about forty carriages bearing the relatives, friends and business associates of the deceased. Preceding the hearse were several carriages of flowers, which almost filled the receiving vault where the casket was placed pending interment later. When the casket was removed from the hearse the 400 or 500 people, most of whom were men who had come by trolley to the burial ground, stood with those whom had come by coach in two files, and the bearers carried the remains to the vault through the double line of people. No services were held at the cemetery. GAYNOR OVERRULED BY Y.M.C.A.

Young Debaters Decide That Sunday Base Ball Is a Desecration of the Sabbath Day. When Justice William J. Gaynor decided that, Sunday baseball at Washington Park was permissible if it did not disturb the religious repose of the people, it is doubted if he dug half as deep into ancient history as some of the members of the Y. M. C.

A. Literary Society when they debated the baseball question last night, and the first speaker against Sunday games had no hesitancy in saying that Rome and Greece were once powerful empires, but their downfall was due to private Immorality and desecration of the Sabbath. contentions made by those opposed to bathe ball on Sunday showed remarkable knowledge of tactics at the Sunday games while the negative side was not so startling. "Rome and Greece," said Speaker Moyle, "were the countries of art and literature and sculpture and selence-the greatest countries of the world--and where is Rome -day?" he asked, in a melodramatic tone. "Rome is the object lesson to the nations of the world.

and to permit Sunday base ball here would be to commit the same folly." The next speaker was Wendell C. Barker, for the negative of the question. Mr. Barker pleaded that the young man who worked six days a week wanted recreation on Sunday. The man who goes to Sunday games would not go to church any way, he said, and if he did not go to the game he would go to Coney Island, or worse.

I think base ball has been discriminated against unjustly. Why pick out base ball? There's no effort to condemn golf and tennis. The games at Washington' Park are called at 3 o'clock, when no in the district holds services. -speaker Voorhees said he thought a man could get just as much ation or pleasure from a walk through the park or Flatbush or suburban places as he could from a game of base ball with all its profanity. "Gentlemen, we ask for your decision tonight," he demanded.

"The Sabbath is holy or it is' not. It is right or it is A vote was taken and the audience granted the decision to the affirmative by 14 to 4. An impromptu debate. followed. For other Marriage and Death notices.

RAYMOND WHITCOMB CO. 25 Union Square, New York, MARCONIGRAM Bhlyn Lagle WELCOMED TO AMERICA BY SIX STALWART SONS. Mrs. Joseph Jones Will Be Met by Her Children on Arriving in New York 3 ARE Y. M.

C. A. SECRETARIES. Each One Is Over Six Feet Tall and All Are Men of High Standing in Every Respect. (Special to the Eagle.) Long Island City, L.

May 7-When the White Star liner Celtic reaches her dock in Manhattan to-morrow morning one of her passengers will experience a welcome to America that in all probability will be different from that accorded any other person who will arrive on the big steamship. The passenger whose welcome to America will differ essentially from that extended her fellow voyagers is Mrs. Joseph Jones of Dublin, Ireland. Mrs. Jones will be greeted on the pier by her six sons--all men conspicuous by their height, for each one measures over six feet.

This will be Mrs. Jones' first visit to America, and, incidentally, it will be her first meeting with four of her sons in fifteen years. All the Jones brothers were born in Great Britain and all came to America to seek their fortunes, and each one, it may be added, has prospered. Mrs. Jones will be entertained by her sons in turn, it being her intention to remain in America several months.

Three of her sons are secretaries in different departments of Young Men's Christian Association work, a fourth is a minister, while the fifth is a builder and the sixth a bank clerk. Their names and occupations are as follows: Neason Jones, secretary of the Long. Island Railroad Branch of the Young Men's Christian Association, at Long Island City. Mr. Jones Las been active in Young Men's Christian Association work for twenty years and has just finished writing a book covering the career of a railroad engineer who has seen the ups and downs of life.

John Owen Jones is pastor of the Congregational Church, at Wallingford, Conn. He is a graduate of Yale University and was formerly pastor of a church at Bound Brook, N. J. He has just returned from a trip to Europe for his health. Joseph Harris Jones is one of the best known buliders in the Borough of the Bronx, having constructed many of the houses at Woodycrest, near Kings Bridge.

Sidney H. Jones is secretary of the Railroad Branch of the Young Men's Christian Association, at Louisville, and he has recently been called to the street railway department of the organization in Brooklyn. Charles E. Jones is secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association, at Passaic, N. J.

He, formerly held a similar position in the Young Men'3 Christian Association Branch in the Twenty-sixth Ward of Brooklyn. Edward H. Jones is the youngest of the six sons and is a clerk in the Second National Bank, at Jersey City, N. J. It is hardly necessary to, say that the meeting between the six sons and their mother on that steamship dock will be an affectionate one.

Mrs. Jones had said goodby to some of them in their home abread fifteen years ago and time has made a change in their appearance. Mrs. Jones is a daughter of John Harris. who fought in the Crimean War and took part in the siege of Sebastopol and in the Battle of the Baltic.

She is the wife of a retired officer of the Royal Navy. Her grandfather was an officer on Lord Nelson's ship at the famous Battle of Trafalgar and the family for generations has been represented in the service. The marriage of her only daughter and the departure of the bride with her husband for South Africa created a desire in the mother to see her six boys in far away America and the trip was arranged for. Two sons are still in England. They are William George Jones and John Lyon Jones.

Both hold responsible positions with large firms in Dublin. Mrs. Jones is the mother of eight boys and four girls. Only one of her daughters is living. ACCUSED OF ROBBERY.

Yesterday afternoon James Johnson of 51 High street was arrested by Detectives Mur. ray and Rand of the' Fulton street station. charged with having stoien $18 in cash from Daniel Brice of 70 Prospect street, while he was returning home at 1 o'clock yesterday morning, at Adams and High streets. Johnson declares he never saw Erice in his life. ACCUSED OF BICYCLE THEFT.

Detective Sergeants Gomeringer and O'Connor of the Headquarters Squad last night ar. rested Frank Lingero, aged' 18 years, of 126 Hudson avenue, on a charge of having stolen a bicycle from E. Sundstrom of 17 Fifty-sixth street. PINELAWN CEMETERY DIVIDEND. Pinelawn Cemetery, which began selling its burial plots last January, has just declared its first dividend to shareholders of record of May inst.

GARTH'S ESTATE APPRAISED. The appraisal of the estate of Granville Garth, former president of the Mechanics National Bank, who was drowned off a Mallory Line steamship while 011 his way to Galveston, as filed in the surrogate's office, shows that he left a gross personal estate of $158,347, from which deductions for expenses of administration and other disbursements aggregate $10,347, leaving the net personal estate $148,000. The principal item consists of 1,263 shares in the Mechanics National' Bank, which are valued at $74,201. JOHN ELLSON'S QUEER FIND. There was a queer announcement on the night.

It is usual for persons to adverbulletin board at local Police Headquarters tise their losses and finds, but John Ellson did not rush to a newspaper office, possibly because he feared the police might catch him if he did not tell of his find right away. This is the text of the announcement: Wanted, an owner for a card case, marked Augusta Sohmer, 19 West Twenty-fourth street. Manhattan. It contains twelve pawntickets for jewelry pawned in Manhattan. John Ellson of 750 St.

Mark's avenue had it put in his pocket while crossing over the Brooklyn Bridge to-day. OLD MAN IS MISSING. The police sent out a general alarm yesterday for Lawrence Keenan, who has been missing from his home, 112 Sullivan street, since the 1th ultimo. He was last seen on that day at the corner of Van Brunt and Commerce streets. His wife, Mary Keenan, who is now living at 30 Franklin avenue, asked the police to co-operate with her in a search for him.

Keenan is 61 years old. BLUE RIBBON FOR "JUDGE." Officer Duffy's Fine Old Horse Won Coveted Prize at Yesterday's Police Parade. Officer Hubert Duffy of the Gates avenue station was a happy man last night, and had he not a right to be, asked his friends, for Judge, his pride and pet, had carried off the equine prize in the police parade yesterday. Inspector Thomas Murphy, who has his headquarters at the Gates avenue station, and Captain John Buchanan, who has command there, were both highly complimented for the part they took in the parade, and Officer Duffy was pleased. He was delighted, though, with the award of the blue ribbon to Judge, for had he not polished the horse's coat and oiled his hoofs two and three times a day for a month past? Perhaps one reason why Judge kept his neck arched and stepped high was due to the fact that he carried upon his back Roundsman William Gilhooley, one of Inspector Murphy's aids, who rode erect and as gracefully as a knight of old.

Judge, named for the Judge Moore, is 23 years old, and ever since he first began to do police duty has been cared for by Officer' Duffy. This explains why he does not yet show his years. He has never missed a police parade. He first turned out with the finest in 1885, when Brooklyn's force made its first appearance in parade. Judge then showed that he had the best of blood in his veins and never a year since has he failed to "make good." But what pleased Officer Duffy more than anything else yesterday was the fact that experts on horse flesh all around commented on the fine appearance of his charge.

These experts did not hesitate to ask who was responsible for Judge's fine appearance, and when Mr. Duffy was pointed out to them as that individual, he just looked proud, and when asked how it was done, winked and said, "It's easy." CLAUDE THARDO MUST PAY. Judgment Against "Side-Wheeler" for Wages Claimed by a "Sandwich" Advertiser. A judgment was handed down' in the Bedford avenue court Friday by Justice Van Wart for $15 against Claude Thardo, the lame singer at the Bijou Theater. The suit was instituted by 16 year old Henry Hogan, son of Virs.

George Hogan of 1,175 Fulton street, whose husband recently, while under the influence of absinthe, stabbed her and then disappeared. Young Hogan alleged that about the first of April Thardo engaged him to advertise a ball of the Thardo Atldetic and Social Club, which was coming off on the 7th of April. It agreed that, for. a consideration of $15, Hogan was to rig out in 3 sailor's costume and carry a painted sign up and down Fulton street for a week. 'He did this, and 'after the ball he asked for his pay, but it was not forthcoming.

Thardo did not appear in court, but was represented by Fred Hardy. the president of the club. Justice, Van Wart said the substitution would not answer, and, after questioning lad about the circumstances, dered a verdict for the plaintiff on default. SCHOOL ACCOMMODATION IN 1904. There are a number of public school buildings in process of erection in Brooklyn at the present time and some additions to existing school, buildings.

When they are completed (they are promised for November 1 of this year) and they are thrown open for use, there will be 23,000 and more sittings added to the school capacity, that much enlarging the present accommodations.
