THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW YORK. TUESDAY. MAY 19. 1908.

MISCELLANEOUS. MISCELLANEOUS. Ill 10 DEO IN CELL mi STATES BILLS Will PASS OF kJlAMUiJ search every bouse for the vacant rooms. It was not very long before the reports came in from the precincts, and It came out that there were three hundred missing women In Brooklyn homes. But one of the captains seemed to have an instinctive "bunch" as tho racing people say.

"Yoa are looking for Kate Stoddard, I think," said one of the captains. The reticent chief confessed and was Informed that she lived In a room In a house on High street. The chief had the key to the room and the keys to her trunk in his pocket. So he searched the apartment and found there a number of things belonging to Goodrich, some of his blood In a small box like a medallion, and numerous letters from Goodrich to Kate. There was also the revolver with which the murder had been committed.

Kate's confession was that she had killed him HI IWilftL OF MURDERER'S VICTIMS Services for Mr. and Mrs. Shep herd Held in Church Where They Were Married. SOUTH BROOKLYN MOURNS, Seventy-first Regiment Men Act as Pallbearers President Roosevelt Sends Condolences. Over 6,000 persons attended the funeral services this morning of Mr.

and Mrs. William Romer Shepherd, who with their servant were murdered In Wlckatunk, near Freehold, N. early Saturday morning. The funeral services were held in Brooklyn at the Church of St. John ttfe Evangelist on Twenty-first street, near Fifth avenue, where the couple wer0 married Just a little over two years ago.

Not only was a great crowd attracted because of tho terrible tragedy Itself, but also because of the prominence of the girl's relatives. Patrick Ryan, the girl's father, retired from the police depart ment, where he had served for nearly tblrty-flve years as a detective sergeant about five years ago. Her uncle was Daniel Ryan, who when he died was one of the most powerful Democratic district leaders In the entire city, une oi airs. Shepherd's brothers is Daniel J. d0 known South Brooklyn contractor, and a sister.

Agnes Ryan, married Lieutenant Michael Murphy oi the Fourth avenue station. Included among those who attended we funeral services this morning were a very large number of politicians and office holders from all sections of the city Not over half of the crowd whlcj gathered could get into the church, the double funeral being the largest over held at the Twenty-first street church. There were fully two hundred carriages In line, and during the services they stretched along Twenty-first street, Twenty-second treet, Twentietu sireei, rumm, and Sixth avenues. A solemn requiem mass was said at tne church to-day by the Kev. Father Thomas S.

Duhigg. Ho as bssislou i u-r fnnninsei- of St. John's Church and by Father Flanagan of Wlckatunk, J. Eight members of the Seventy-nrst Regiment, New York, acted as pallbearers, and nearly all the members of Company of which the murdered man was a lieu tenant, attended. The crowd outside the church was so great that the help of the police was needed to keep them out of tho way of the army of carriages.

Many of thoso who could not get in carried bouquets, which they wished to deposit beside tho coffins. The floral tributes were many, and very fine. From the church the funeral procession went down Twenty-first street to Fourth avenue, to Eighteenth street, past the Ryan homestead, at 201, and on to Holy Cross Cemetery, where the Interment took place. Up to a late hour It was uncertain whether Mrs. Ryan, the mother of Mrs.

Shepherd, could go to the church or not. Although greatly prostrated by the blow and under the constant care of her physician since Saturday, she insisted on going both to the church and to the cemetery. Her physician, Dr. Rooney of Eighth avenue, followed In the coach behind her, prepared to render tnBtant aid If the necessity arose. The Ryana have received numerous letters of condolence since the crime became known, including one from President Roosevelt.

It will be recalled that Shep herd was one of the first men up San Juan Hill. Daniel J. Ryan is more convinced to-day that Franz Zastera, who confessed the crime to the police In Jer sey, Is the guilty party, but they do not believe that he has told the complete story. SUBWAY CONTRACTS WAIT. Public Service Commission Engineer Not Ready.

Great Fear Expressed That Some Low Bidder Might Lose Money. Action on Friday. The awards for the contracts for the building of the Fourth avenue subway were not made by the Public Service Commission to-day. It was expected that the commission at its meeting to-day would officially announce tho successful bid ders. but as Chief Engineer Seaman did not have his report ready and the counsel to the commission had not completed the investigation of the financial standing of the bidders, action was delayed.

It is likely, however, that the commission will make tho awards at the next official meeting, takes place on Friday. There is a report current that it is not unlikely that one or two of the lowest bids may be rejected. The commission realizes that It would be the height of folly to award a contract to a contractor when his bid is so low that, he is liable to sustain a severe financial loss on thu work. It would only result in having the contractor Anally abandon the work rather than to continue It at a loss. Some of the engineers of the commission believe that those contractors whose bids were extremely low probably forgot to take Into consideration some of the state laws regarding the employment of labor.

If this should be true, It is very likely that the commission would give the contractors tho right to withdraw, and award the contract to the next hlgh-es bidder. The state law on the labor provisions is mandaory. and failure to obey It makes It obligatory upon the controller to refuse to pay the bills If complaints concerning the violation of the law aro lodged with him. Chief Kngineer Seaman reported to the commission tbi smorning that he had or-1 dered the contractors to stop all work on the first, section of tho subway loop In Manhattan. This section will connect with the new office building which is to be erected on the site of the old Staats Zoltung Building.

Mr. Seaman reported that, the foundation plans of the building will require the commission to change Its plans for the subway station, which is to be located at that, point. The tracks will have to be moved and the platforms widened because of the immense weight of the protected building. An application was received by the commission for permission from the Manhattan Railway Company to borrow The money will bo used for betterments. GOING THEKeT'aNYWAY.

Ambulance Surgeon Who Attended Him Failed to Discover His Serious Condition. After nerformine- an autonsv on the body of Albert Adam, who died Sunday in a cell of the Ralph avenue station, where lie har! been locked un chareed with intoxication.

Dr. Charles Wuest. the coroner's physician, says tho man died of Internal injuries Arljim Pr WilRRt KF1VS. had a fractured pelvis and a puncture of the bladder, tho latter being causea Dy the former injury. He must have died In great agony.

An extended report of the case has been made to both the police commissioner and the coroner. Adam was taken to the station house in an ambulance and when he was found unconscious in his cell a call for medical aid was sent to a hospital. Dr. Jacob Halperin, who came from Bush-wick Hospital, and who had attended Adam before his removal to the station house, pronounced him dead on arrival. Adam was 42 vears old.

a laborer, and lived at 675 Halsey street. He was taken to the Ralph avenue station about o'clock Sunday morning in the ambulance, suffering, according to tho police report, from alcoholism. He had been piacea under arrest in a yard in the rear of the house at 854 Hancock street, back of his homo, by Officer Kemp of the Ralph ave nue station. It was 6aid after tbe arrest that Adam had run out of his home, act ing like a person who was suffering from somo mental trouble. He Is said to have leaped over several fences.

When Officer Kemp found Adam in the yard in the rear of the Hancock street house, he observed that his was not an ordinary case, and he turned In a call for an ambulance. Dr. Halperin responded and removed the man to the station house, where he was placed in a cell. Nothing, so far as known, was said about a fractured pelvis. Patrolman William T.

Wagner, who was rthoorverl about. 11:30 o'clock, he says, that Adam was In a bad way. Later he found him unconscious and had a call sent for medical am. ur. Halperin responded, but Adam was dead when he arrived.

It was reported after Adam's death that he had probably been a victim of heart failure. Dr. Wue3t denied to-day that he had told anybody that he had como to the conclusion, after examining the body, that an autopsy was unnecessary, and that Adam had undoubtedly died of heart failure. Dr. Wuest stated that he had performed an autopsy in regular order, and that he had no trouble In learning the cause of death, and so reported to the coroner's oflice.

"Adam died of Internal Injuries," remarked the physician. "His olvls was badly fractured and one part of the broken bone had punctured bis bladder. I am not prepared to state iust how the frncture occurred, but.it seems to me that the man must nave oau a 111, very bad fall, to have caused such bad fracture as I found. I understand that he had jumped over several fences before his arrest, and if this is so he may have then been Injured as I have stated. "The man may have been drinking some, but that was not the direct cause of his death.

Ho must have suffered greatly, and may have collapsed as a result of this. I know nothing about bow the man wan Injured, as I have already stated, but I do know what I found his injuries to have been, and I wish to say ihat i nopfni-mpH mv ful 1 duty and promptly mado my report to the coroner." Dr. Wuest also statea mat me injuries from which Adam suffered were such that they might readily have been detected by an examining physician. Dr. Halpcrln's version of the matter could not be obtained to-day, as he was not at the hospital when an effort was made to find him.

He told yesterday how he came to take Adam to the station house. The rules, he said, required that, where a patient was suffering from alcoholic mania or delirium tremens he he sent to Kings County Hospital after being treated, If necessary, at a local hospital. If there was none of these signs, or of Illness, he was taken to a station house and locked up on a charge of intoxication. Such a case was that of Adam, he said- GOT A SUNDAY DRINK.

OTHER PERSONS DOUBTFUL General Opinion Is That Gambling Bills Will Not Be Passed This Session. (Special to the Eagle.) Albany, May 19 Senator George Agnew announced to-day that Senator Otto Foelker would return to his seat in the Senate during the first week in June. Agnew announced further that the racing bills would be passed at that time.

No one here cared to contradict Agnew. But It should be said that be appears to be almost alone in his opinion regarding both the return of Foelker and the passage of the bills. Agnew stopped off at Poughkeepsle on his way to Albany yesterday and saw Foelker. He reports that the Brooklyn senator was doing well and that there was no reason that be should be confined for more than two or three weeks. The general opinion here Is that there will be rapid action next week and that all matters will be disposed of without waiting for Foelker.

Of course, It Is realized that there can be no action on the race track matter until the governor chooses to send In his recommendation, but the senators assert that unless that recommendation Is made by next week they will adjourn. It Is very difficult to analyze the temper of the Senate, as only those members who have committee work to do are In Albany. Those who are here, however, are very frank In saying that they hope to get away before the end of the month. Governor Hughes to-day signed the Green bill empowering the Judges of the Supreme Court In Brooklyn to fix the salaries of their stenographers. The Joint Judiciary committee of the Senate and Assembly gave a hearing today on tho Page amendments to the puhllo service law.

Those appearing on the amendments were: Ross M. Lovell of the Erie railroad and C. C. Paulding of the New York Central Railroad. Their objections and suggestions were largely technical In character, consisting of the substitution of "ands" for "ors" and "tos" for "ofs." The representatives of the telegraph or telcphono companies appeared.

There was a disposition on the part of the committee to get as much amusement out of the hearing as possible. There was a long discussion regarding the meaning of such words as "between," "station," "and," "Into," and other abstruse metaphysical "thought signs," as Senator Grady characterised the words In dis pute. The hearing on the McCarren bill for the regulation of political parties and voluntary political bodies was postponed until to-morrow. Former Commissioner of Water Supply. Gas and Electricity Robert G.

Monroe registered his appear ance before the Judiciary committee In favor of the bills. It is generally expected that this bill will be the first one to be acted upon in the extra session. Senator Raines will probably offer amendments to meet specific 'conditions In various counties up the stqte. It is expected that the bill will be passed. Assemblyman Green announced to-day that he would move the permissive direct nominations bill at the earliest possible time.

The indications are that the bill will not be reported. SCHOOLS ARE DOING WELL, But Dr. Maxwell Informs Principals That He Want3 Them to Do Even Better. City Superintendent Maxwell summoned the principals of all the elementary schools of the city to the DeWitt Clinton High School' yesterday afternoon, where he delivered a lecture on tho general conditions in the schools, and expressed his desire that certain subjects should receive more attention than they do at present. At any time he took occasion to say that the schools were unquestionably in better condition now than they had even been before, and that solid that this was so.

not from hearsay, but from observation, as he had visited a large number of the schools recently. However, there were several things he desired to have improved. One subject which should receive more attention was mental arithmetic. There should be quick drill In every class, particularly in the fundamental processes, and there should be rapidity and accuracy. If the mental arithmetic was not good the written arithmetic could not be good.

The penmanship in the schools was Improving, but while tho arm movement drills were kept up. the free movement should he introduced into tho written work. There was nothing gainod by the arm movement drills, unless It was put Into practice. Geography was the weakest study in the schools. Of course.

Dr. Maxwell said, It was not of great educational value, but it was a shame that when a pupil left the schools ho did not know the grand divisions of the earth, the name of the oceans, mountains, rivers, principal cities of the world and their location. In naming the cities of the United States the states should always be given. Dr. Maxwell in soenkins- of the teach ing of history told of the production of the "History or Education" at the Brooklyn Training-school for Teachers, and spoke of it in tho highest terms.

But he had seen something in the model school which pleased him even better than that. It was the dramatization of history. He described the production of the "Boston Tea Party." which he had seen in one of the class rooms. In which one of the pupils represented King George III. a group of girls was the Parllment, another group the Colonists, and another Indians.

The appeal of the Colonists, the debate in Parliment, the lax upon leas, and the throwing of the tea overboard had all been acted. The method could be applied to many historical scenes. The instruction of average pupils, and the medical examination of delinquent pupils for physical defects wore spoken of. rD. Maxwells aid he would sign no more commitment papers for truants unless the boys had been examined.

The principals were well pleased with the talk, and will report to their teachers what was said. ALLEGED HORSE THIEVES. Three alleged horse thieves were captured early this morning by Policemen Wrightman and Ferguson of the cBd-forl avenue sation. They had a horse and grocer's delivery wagon valued at Jo'trt the property or Meyer Rredenloft of 13il St. Nicholas avenue, Manhattan.

The prisoners gave their ram's as Andrew Leeorso. "0 ears old, 21 Prince si reel; Joseph Mart olio, 15 yi ars old, of 1S.I Molt, street, ind Frank Truylen.i, 17 yeats old, of Elizabeth street. Manhattan. Ail were Italian. Th thro wre turod over to ihe Mauhit-ua authorities He Made His Fame as Head of the Brooklyn Police Department.

SOLVED SOME NOTABLE CASES It Was He Who Devised the Famous House-to-House Search of All Brooklyn. Patrick Campbell, for over twenty-live years chief of police and superintendent of police In Brooklyn, died last night at his home, 90 Herkimer street, from an ill ness that was mainly the result of old age. Mr. Campbell, according to the rec ords of the police department, was 81 years old but there are those In Brooklyn who thought he was much older, albeit he carried his years lightly until recently. For a long time after he was forced out of the police department for political reasons, it was alleged, he manifested much' mental and physical vigor.

It was during the administration of Mayor Schiercn and Commissioner Welles that Campbell left the department, and he was succeeded by William J. Mc-Kelvey, as superintendent, who, In turn, was shortly superceded by John Mackel-lar, who was ths last head of the force that Brooklyn had. as Campbell was best known on the force, had the rare instincts of a policeman. He was close mouthed, calculating, had an extraordinary knowledge of human nature and could cajole and threaten when cajolery or threatening would best serve his official purpose. Hit reticence was marvelous and he never, except when It was necessary, let anyone know what was passing In his mtnd.

He had tho faculty, too, of bringing one's faults down on the person who was to blame. He was born according to the records, on Jan. 12. 1827, In Charteston, S. but came with his family to Brooklyn in early life.

He attended the public schools here and then found employment In the Eagle office as a printer. Strict attention to business brought promotion, and soon he was foreman of his department. He was foreman when Colonel William Hester, now president of the Eagle Company, entered as an Colonel Hester learned his trade of printer under Patrick Campbell. Campbell left the service of the Eagle to assume a political office. President Buchanan rewarded his loyalty as a Democrat by giving him a customs Inspectorship.

He held that position dur ing Buchanan's term and also during a part of the term of Abraham Lincoln. In 1866 he was elected as a Democrat to the office of sheriff of Kings County, and he made an admirable sheriff. His term expiring and the old system of metropolitan police service going out, he was selected as chief of police. This position he held until quite Ite In 1873, when the office of chief was abolished and John Folk was made superintendent. But later Campbell got back again as superintendent this time and he held the job until March 4, 1895, when he resigned under pressure that reflected not at all on his character.

Since then he had been living quietly and enjoying life in his modest way. Persistency Was His Motto in Police KN Work. pbell was ft short, thick-set man. Indeed all thtf five Campbell, of which h'e was the last survivor, were cast In the same mold. The flva brothers, all of whom left some mark on Brooklyn history, were Felix, who was Congressman, a wealthy manufacturer and a large property holder; Patrick.

John, James and Hugh. The former chief of police had made a careful study of the work set before him and formed very soon most decided opinions about the duties of his subordinates. He believed, first and foremost, in persistency, and said that a policeman should be like a bulldog, with the capacity of holding on while life lasted. He gave this advice to his detectives, sometimes disheartened over lack of success in their investigations. "Never get tired," he telegraphed to one of them, who had reported an ill outcome of a case that he had in hand.

He was looking for a fugitive in a city up the state. "Just stay where you are until I tell you to come back or until you catch your man. Hang on to the Job and you'll get him." Campbell had a way of hanging on to the Job himself. In the famous Goodrich murder case his persistency resulted in the conviction of Kate Stoddard, the little blonde murderess who had killed Charles Goodrich, a builder and the brother of the late Judge Goodrich of the Appellate Court. That was in March, 1873.

The dead man was a bachelor and he lived alone in one of the houses he had built near the Park Mope-One morning his brother, then a well known marine lawyer, went to visit him and got no response to his call at tne bell Mr. Goodrich entered the house through th scuttle, getting there by way of a neighboring untenanted house. Campbell's Work in the Famous Goodrich Murder Case. He found his brother's body in the basement, and for a time it if the case was one of suicide. The bony was clad and there were "et feet A remarkable feature was the slight effusion of blood, but tho fact that a re-volver was lying near seemed to Indl cate that death was due to suicide.

The coroner found two wounds In the head, and they were of such a char acter that they could not have been self-inflicted. Thereat began one of the most famous investigations in murder ever known in this county. The friends of Goodrich were all looked up and several arrests were but it was not until his connection with Kate Stoddard became known that there was any decent clue to work upon. Kate was an attractive little woman, with innocent blue eyes and a wealth of light hair. The police found that Kate had been in the habit of visiting Goodrich, and Campbell employed a woman who knew her.

Mary Handley, to trace her. Kate was arrested one day while she was crossing to Brooklyn at the Fulton Ferry, and she was held a prisoner for some days before the fact became known to the public. Campbell had her under cross-examination for a while and she finally confessed that she had killed Goodrich. But she said that Bhe only told Campbell that in the strictest confidence, and she warned him that if he ever went on the witness stand or made the confession public she would deny that she had ever made any statement to him. She declined to tell where she lived, and Campbell knew verv well that without corroboration of some sort, her confession would not have much weight in court.

He wanted to find her home; to find her possessions, and he felt very sure that when he got her personal belongings he would get all the evidence against the woman that he needed. It was taking a chance, of course, for it seemed like oppression to keep the little woman under lock and key a secret prisoner, for days. A House-to-House Search of All Brooklyn. He felt that he must find out her abode and so he arranged for the famous "house to house search" through the city of Brooklyn. It was something of a task, but he called all his captains together and told them that he wanted them to send their men all through the city to discover the home of a woman who had been missing for three days.

He did not let them into the secret about i Kate Stoddard, but he told them to cut their precincts into small districts and in ths bathroom and had dragged bis body down to where It was found. She had carefully washed off the wounds, and a towel with blood etalns on It was found later In the bath room. It was evident that she was Insane and she was convicted an dsent to a prison for Insane criminals tor life. He Unraveled Other Perplexing Murder Cases. Other Important cases unraveled wljth much assistance from Chief Campbell were the Alexander murder and the Fuchs murder.

In the case of the first mentioned Pesach Rubensteln lured his cousin. Sara Alexander, to a field In East New York, and under a haystack at a point which Is reckoned to have been about 150 feet east from the southeast corner of what is now Arlington avenue and Cleveland street, the body of the murdered woman wa3 found. Rubensteln was tracked by Detective George V. Zundt and was arrested but the work was done under the direction of Campbell. The killing of William W.

Simmons by Andreas Fuchs on January 27, 1876, was long a mystery and to Campbell, probably more than anyone else, was due the fact that Fuchs was captured. The man had dismembered the body of his victim and had tried to burn It up In a kitchen stove, on the north side in Williamsburg. The head was abandoned In a lot In Greeopoint and It was through this that the Identification of the victim became known. It would be Impossible to give In detail all of the Important cases handled by Campbell. He was an enthusiast in police work, and many robberies and crimes of all sorts were discovered through the silent head of the police force.

Campbell was exceedingly generous to the erring and his efforts led to many reformations In the case of first offenders. Ho took his separation from professional activity very philosophically and he managed to survive the two men who succeeded him to tho place at the head of the old Brooklyn police force. Mr. Campbell leaves a widow, a sister and three children, George W. Campbell.

Police Think Permits No Good Because Men Ar Said Not to Be Citizens. Frank Coamo turned up this morning In the Adams street court on a charge of carrying a concealed weapon. This is the man who was indicted some time ago on a charge of murder and was called by Lieutenant Vachris, the head of the local Italian bureau of detectives, "The King of the Black Hand." It Is only fair to say that Coamo was not convicted of the murder, but then one of the band, who had been depended upon to give evidence, committed suicide befora be could be called to the witness stand. It was said that suicide was much better for him than liberty If he had told. The odd feature about the case was that Coamo had In his pocket a permit to carry a revolver, a permit Issued by Magistrate James O.

Tlghe of the Butler street court. The permission was in the name of Francesco Candarl, which, Coamo avers, is his true name. Vachris says that be goes under a number of names. He is exceedingly prosperous, apparently, wears fine and much jewelry. There were five Italians arrested at Coney Island last night, and Coamo was in the bunch.

His weapon was one of the finest revolvers that has been seen in many a day, a perfect revolver in every respect, and ready with Its bullets and its well oiled mechanism for Immediate and efficient service. Vachris was down at Coney Island last night on some other business and he saw Coamo and Joe-Longobardi, who Is well known in Manhattan, get off a car. Vach ris was curious to know what they were after and so he followed them. He found that they were heading for an Italian resort at Neptune avenue and Fifteenth street, where there was some sort of a celebration. There were other suspic ious Italians there and Vachris scurried around and got some of his men, Mealll, Pucciano, Gratano and Wyman and tnen proceeded to the place where the Italians were.

The detectives held them all up and searched them. They found five of tbem with guns, Giuseppe Longobardl, Umberto Solodono, Roco Mylloro, Coamo or Candarl and Umberto Cirella. The prisoners were taken to local police head quarters and were held for arraignment in court In the morning. ijongooarni and Coamo were particularly indignant, for each flashed a permit to carry a gun. Longobardo's was Issued by Battery Dan Finn, as a magistrate, and Coamo's by Magistrate Tighe.

Under section 410 of the penal code police magistrates in cities have the right to issue permits to people for carrying concealed weapons. It is likely that Magistrate Tighe was deceived when he Issued the permit to Coamo under tho name of Candarl, but there was no question of the genuineness of the permit, for it had the name of Jacob Eilperin, complaint clerk in the Adams street court, in attestation. Of course, the magistrate had the right to Issue the permit to a citizen, but If Coamo is not a citizen no one has the right, and there Is where the police think they have the prisoner. Coamo admitted to Vachris that he was rot a citizen, but said he had taken out his first papers. A declaration of intention does not entitle one to citizenship, and so the police believe that the prisoner will be held when the case comes up for a final hearing.

Complaints were taken against all of them In tho Adams street court this morning, and Magistrate Furlong postponed hearing In tho cases. BEQUESTS MUST BE TAXED. Three Societies, Remembered by George C. Taylor, Almost Escaped. (Special to the Eagle.) Riverhead.
