B. to replace the present Fourth will be more strongly Republican than the present one, and under ordinary circumstances would make Drescher's candidacy an easy one. Senators Charles Cooper and Frank J. Gardner are avowed candidates for re-election. The complaint is heard here that the interests of Kings County have been sacrificed to make Gardner "safe." The central part of Brooklyn has been carved up so as to secure a plurality in ordinary times of something like 4,500.

The district is to take Republican territory along the Park Slope, Twentieth Ward, a a small part of the Eleventh and the Seventh, and a part of the Nineteenth wards. That will throw ex-Senator Rudolph C. Fuller in with Postmaster Roberts, but it is declared that the effect will not be to sacrifice Fuller but to make him stronger. Senator Cooper is to have less of the Twenty-third Ward, but will get a part of the Twenty-fifth and the whole of the Twenty-fourth SO that be also will be "safe." Ex-Lieutenant Governor Woodruff is coming here to-morrow to demonstrate to the committee on apportionment that his scheme is all right. In connection with the retirement of Senator Drescher, Assemblyman Otto G.

Foelker announced to that he would be a candidate for Drescher's seat. He hopes to have the initial support of Alfred T. Hobley in his canvass. CITY BUYS ATHLETIC FIELD. $100,000 Paid for Fine Tract at Hallett's Point, Astoria, for Manhattan East Side Boys.

The City of New York has acquired, at Hallett's Point, Astoria, for $100,000, a plot of about three and a half acres, with a frontage of 650 feet on the East River and all rights to shore front and land under water, for the athletic field for the boys of the East Side of Manhattan. The property was bought of the Halsey Realty Company and title was passed yesterday. The plot is what is known as the Old Fort Stevens property, and is historic as the place where Washington crossed the river on his way White Plains after the disastrous battle of Long Island. It is more widely known as the spot opposite where the great Hell Gate blast took place, twenty-five years or more ago, when several acres of rock were torn from the bed of the river. The lose rock dredged from the river bottom was piled up on this point, and the government has maintained a light house there for many years.

Some time ago a very powerful electric light was placed in it, but this was confusing and blinding to mariners. It was removed. The plot has a frontage of 495 feet on the west side of Munson street and 310 feet on the north side of Orchard street. It is only two blocks from the Ninety-second Street Astoria Ferry, and the boys will be brought over from Manhattan in that way. General Geo.

W. Wingate, who has charge of the undertaking, says that the ground is all cleared and the work of laying out race tracks and other athletic felds and the necessary buildings will be begun at once. The necessary stands and buildings and tracks will probably be completed before the end of the present school year. CONVENTION OF D. A.

R. President General McLean Welcomes Delegates--Addresses by Several Speakers, Washington, April 17-Mrs. Donald McLean, president -general of the Daughters of the American Revolution, called the second day's meeting of that organization's national congress to order to-day in Continental Memorial Hall, with more than 1,000 members of the order in attendance. The Rev. Roland Cotton Smith, pastor of St.

John's Episcopal Church, of this city, pronounced the invocation. After the singing of "The Star Spangled Banner," by Mrs. Bertha Lincoln Eustis, of Dubuque, Mrs. McLean made a brief address of welcome to delegates, who were late in arriving. Mrs.

Robert M. Park, vice-presidentgeneral from Georgia, was called to the chair, while Mrs. McLean made her annual report. The president -general reviewed her wide travel for the year, and declared that by visiting the West and South she had acquainted herself with the needs of all parts of the United States, and had discovered anew how self centered the East is. At present, she said, 75 per cent.

of the income of the society is used in defraying expenses. She said she bel. ved the expenses to be excessive and that she is exerting every influence to reduce thm. Mrs. Charlotte Emerson Main, of the District of Columbia, -general in charge of organization, made her annual report, showing the admitted membership of the order to be 56,028.

The registerer-general, Eleanor M. Jamiereported that 4,384 members have been admitted to the order since April, 1905. Mrs. Teunis S. Hamlin, of the District of Columbia, chaplain-general of the order, made a report urging that efforts be made to banish the octopus, Mormonism, from American life, and to assist Southern sister9 in uplifting the negroes.

WOMAN FACES TWO CHARGES. Alleged to Have Kept Disorderly House and Robbed Another Woman. Amanda Hermanson and Charles Johnson, who were accused of having conducted a disorderly house at 10 Carroll street, were held for the Grand Jury in the Butler street court this morning. Mrs. Hermanson was also held for the same body on the charge of grand larceny made by Rosie Rosenthal, a Manhattan woman.

Miss Rosenthal said the Hermanson woman had knocked her down and took $43 of her money. DIETZ-CARMICHAEL, Miss C. Claire S. Carmichael and Emil H. Dietz were married last night at the home of the groom's parents, 1173 Jefferson avenue, by Rev.

Dr. Henry Scudder. The bride was attended by Miss Bertha Fedderson. Elsie Weed, Minnie M. Platt and Genevieve Park.

The bridesmaids were dressed in white, like the bride, who wore crepe de chine and carried white roses. William Carmichael, a brother of the bride, acted as best man. After a short in Saratoga the couple will live at 181 Eldert FLATBUSH FOLKS FEAR ROBBERS ARE RESIDENTS Wild Young Men of hood Believed to Have Pull with the Police. SIMPLY DRIVEN TO THE THEORY. Failure to Arrest Burglars and Inside Knowledge on the Part of Criminals Are Noted.

alarm for the safety of The anxiety and their homes has aroused among the residenta those sections of Flatbush that, which have for months experienced depredations of burglars, have very renaturally suited the expression of various theories which are, virtually, an attempt to explain the failure on the part of the police to apprehend the perpetrators. The consensus of these opinions is a very interesting one and there exists a widespread and growing belief that the hypothesis set forth by it will in the end be found to be the correct explanation of the perilous situation which now confronts the householders of that part of the borough. The fact that the local police place much confidence in the theory has induced many, who at first placed little credulity in it, to finally admit that it seems to be the most probable explanation. The police of the Flatbush and Parkville precinct have long found it necessary to keep an eye on more than a few youths and young men of their neighborhoods, who, as far as can be learned, never work, but always have lots of money to spend at saloon bars. The presence of such young fellows is particularly noticeable in the Flatbush precinct.

Many of the old Flatbush policemen know these fellows and could furnish a list of them. But, added to this, there exists a belief among certain Flatbush who have lived in that part of residents, the borough a sufficient length of time to become well acquainted with its conditions and with local happenings that seem to have less attention from the police than received their seriousness warranted, that these same young fellows have 50 ingratiated themselves with some members of the police that precinct that they can do with force of impunity what might lead to their speedy arrest elsewhere. Several well known rosihave gone so far as to assert that dents these young fellows have acquired a "pull" with the local members of the department, and. under such protection, have even sorted to acts of a criminal nature, It is mainly from such A theory that there has resulted a general opinion that these youths and young men are responsible for many of the recent burglaries in Flatbush. Those who have expressed themselves upon the subject admit the extreme they driven to the theory or because of seriousness of their charge, but state that are the continuel of the police to apprehend the burglars.

"The police are either laboring under the that the burglaries are not the impression work of local cracksmen, or they are deliberately shutting their eyes to very parent conclusions," said a Flatbush restdent. to-day. that the police are aware of This theory criminal doings 011 the part of local young men is not so comprehensive a8 to intlmate that the heads of the local force are also in league with the alleged young criminals. It is the patrolmen, having opportunity every day to see the young fellows and having a more intimate knowledge of the conditions existent in the neighborhood of their beats than their superiors, upon whom many wish to lay the blame of willful neglect of their duty. Police Captain Reynolds, who two weeks ago assumed command of the Flatbush polee precinct, has inspired much confidence among the people of Flatbush because of his past record, and is looked to as one who will speedily recognize the existence of any "underworld" in Flatbush and will apply a remedy, A point which is offered as adding much weight to the belief that local young men are the burglars leg in the fact that the perpetrators of the burglaries have in every case possessed information which has made their work comparatively safe.

The house they enter is always unoccupied, the nearest policeman is always blocks away and they never enter a house that is not well known throughout the neighborhood as containing articles of value that can be easily got at. And there are other indications that go to show that the burglars somehow or other possess Inside information. MR. MC MULLIN MISSING. Family Much Worried Over Man Who Left Home on April 3.

VENGEANCE AGAINST ODELL. Parsons Men Have Bill to Remove Aqueduct Commissioners From Office. (Special to the Eagle.) Albany, April 17-In anticipation of their campaign next fall, the Hearst people proto make a clean sweep of the present pose state office holders, and Assemblyman Campbell of New York, the Hearst has been instructed to introduce a group, resolution amending the Constituconcurrent tion so as to eliminate from the Constitution that appointments shall he the requirement made on examination only and according to merit.

Mr. Campbell will introduce resolution to-day. If twice passed and approved by the people, everybody now serving the state could moved from office. The appetite of the Stunt: cipal Ownership men is hard to satisfy, and if Hearst wins, it is proposed that every one of them shall have a job. There is not much probability that the amendment will pass at this session or the next.

The Parsons men York County are breathing revenge against the Odell men because of the recent recapture of the New York County Republican Committee by Odell. Their revenge include the removal from office of the Aqueduct commissioners, two of whom are Odell men and two Tammany adherents. The bill has been drawn by Assemblyman Prentice, who is in President Parsons confidence. It repeals the law under which commission was appointed and removes them from office June 1. Their powers are transferred to the Commissioner of Water Supply, Gas and Electricity.

The commissioners who would be legislated out of office are: William W. Ten Eyck and John P. Windolph, Republicans; and John F. Cowan a and John J. Ryan, Democrats.

They draw salaries of $5,000 a year each, and their terms of office are noht limited. It is said that it will require at least three years more to complete their work in course of construction. Ten Eyck and Windolph are district leaders and have lately been standing with Odell. They attended the conference at the Fifth Avenue Hotel last night, at which twenty-three of the thirty-six leaders were lined up for the Odell plan of reapportionment. The bill has not much of a chance of pas: sage.

The Suffolk County representatives here awaiting the action of the Republican County Committee before indorsing any one. The committee meets on Thursday of this week and will take action then. A At this distance it looks as if the leaders were Willard H. Baylis, of Huntington, and Timothy Guffin, of Riverhead, who is called by some the Nestor of the Suffolk County bar. The other candidates are Livingston Smith, of Smithtown; Eliott J.

Smith, of Islip; Herbert W. Fordham, of Greenport, and William G. Floyd, of Babylon. District Attorney George H. Furman is not an avowed candidate.

Assemblyman Hubbs is working hard for a man from his district. When Senator Cooper's bill for the acquisition of ferries came up in the Senate this morning, Senator Jacob Marks again attacked it and offered amendments taking out the feature which provides for a preliminary agreement between any ferry company and a city and also the clause which provides for the taking of all the lines of a company when one is to be acquired. At the soggestion of Senator White, chairman of the Cities Committee, the bill was allowed to go over until to-morrow. Senator Cooper proposes to press it then. He stated that he desired only what is fair and would stand for no bill which gave the companies an undue advantage.

The Gardner bill changing, the site of the proposed astronomical observatory of the Brooklyn Institute, passed the Senate today. The Assembly last night passed the trust company reserve bill in the form desired by Senator Frank J. Gardner. There has been quite a controversy between the two houses over this issue, the Assembly standing against allowing municipal bonds as a part of the reserve. As the measure now stands, trust companies must maintain a reserve like banks of 15 per of which 5 per cent.

shall be in cash; 5 per cent. in bank. and 5 per cent, in bonds of cities of the first and second class. The bill now goes to the Governor. Senator McCarren's bill permitting police captains and sergeants to release persons arrested for minor offenses on their own recognizance has passed both houses and has gone to the Governor.

It is aimed at the straw bail industry and is considered an important reform. His bill limiting the time during, which persons claiming to be damaged flood or otherwise may Ale claims against the City of New York Is in the hands of the Mayor. This is an outgrowth of the sewer scandals in Brooklyn and is aimed at a certain class of lawyers. The corrupt practices bill reported by the committee on judiciary WAS passed this afternoon after a debate lasting nearly two hours. Various amendments, including one by Mr.

Wainwright, taking out the limitations, were defeated. The vote on Anal passage was unanimous. The Carpenter bill to divide the Second Judicial District is on to-day's calendar in the Assembly on second reading, but it is hardly probable that it will be reached until night. Timothy L. Woodruff of Brooklyn has announced his unfaltering opposition to the measure and the Brooklyn Republicans will vote against it with the Suffolk County representatives.

The opinion prevails that' that this opposition will not avail and the bill will be passed. The Kings County machine awoke just a little too late to have their opposition count. SENATOR DRESCHER TO RETIRE. Assemblyman Foelker Announces That He Will Be a Candidate for the Place. (Special to the Eagle.) Albany, April 17--Senator John Drescher to-dav announced that he will not accept a renomination for his present office, although he is being urged to do SO by the Republican leaders in Brooklyn.

His reason for retiring from the Senate is that he must give more time to his business. which to some extent he has been obliged to neglect during the last two years. Albany life does not appeal to Mr. Drescher, who has had a good record, notwithstanding his motives in one or two instances have been misunderstood.
