ITALIAN'S FATAL KNIFE Jealous Husband Stabbed His Wife's Lover. He Was Arrested and His Rival Is in the Hospital, Not Expected to Live.

A long, sharp knife and a six-chambered revolver were the weapons used shortly before midnight last night, by Frank Frinaero, an Italian laborer, when he tried to put a sudden end to the career of Pester Lorendo, a fellow countryman who, It is alleged, had alienated the aftec tlons of Frlnaero's wife, Rosie. Frinaero, who Is 40 years old, and lives with his five children at Sixtieth street, near Thirteenth avenue, went to the home of Lorendo, which Is at Sixty-seventh street, between Eleventh and Twelfth ave nues, where he found his wife in company with Lorendo. Loud, harsh, angry words followed his entrance to the bouse, and Frinaero demanded that his wife return home with him to take cars of the chil dren. She refused point blank to accede to his request, and he struck her severa blows, one of which blackened her eye. Lorendo Interfered, and Frinaero.

auick as a flash, gave up the attack upon his wife, and drawing a ten-inch knife plunged it into the body of his rival He then pulled a revolver from his pocket and fired six shots in quick succession at Lorendo. His aim was bad and not one tne bullets took effect. The shots, accompanied bv the screamB of Mrs. Frinaero, were heard by Officer Frank Day of the Fort Ham lton station who la on vacation and was visiting In the neighborhood.

CONVERT BTJBIAL GROUND. Topsy'c Last Resting Place Given Over to Luna Park's Crowds. The crowd was so large in Luna Park yesterday that the showmen were unable to handle the people. Workmen were summoned and a space was cleared for more benches on one of the walks. The space was directly over the spot where Topsy, the man-killing elephant, was burled seven years ago.

The elephant had grown to be very troublesome and It was decided to kill the beast. When Luna Park was in course of construction Topsy was used to haul lumber, but after the animal had nearly killed its trainer by picking him up with her trunk and throwing him nearly acrosB the park, Frederic Thompson and his partner, the late Elmer S. Dundy, decided to kill ber. They arranged a steel platform, charged it with electricity and led TopBy upon It. That finished Topsy.

Her tusks were kept by Mr. Thompson and the hoofs and hide of the lower joints were prepared and made into umbrella holders. One of them is in Magistrate Voorhees privat- office in the Coney Island court. KEPT INJURY SECRET. Boy Didn't Tell Aunt of Broken Leg.

As yet, no one has identified the body of an unknown man found drowned at Harbor Haven, Jamaica Bay, Springfield. Saturday morning. The man appears to be about 30 years old. Is 6 feet 8 Inches In height, weighs about 120 pounds, has a smooth face, dark balr and looks like a German. He wore dark trousers and vest, light blue underwear, black socks, black lace shoes and black leather belt, and had nothing in his pockets whereby he could be Identified.

Little One, With Older Sister, Was on Way to Candy Store Sister Just Escaped.

Sarah Schlmoller, 9 years old, of Morris and Grafton avenues, Woodhaven, while walking along the trestle of the Rock away Beach division of the Long Island Railroad over Jamaica Bay, yesterday afternoon, about 3:60 o'clock, was struck by a B. R. T. train at Ramblersville, eaetbound, and Instantly killed. The Schlmollers have a summer home at Ramblersville.

Herman, the child father, gave his daughters, Julia, aged 12, and Sarah. 9, 10 cents with which to purchase some candy. Much elated, the little ones started out for a candy ehop. It was a shorter cut to go by way of the trestle, and hand-ln-hand the sisters skipped along from tie to tie. A train was rapidly approaching and the two got off the tracks and walked at the side, out of danger way, as they thought.

Julia held on to a post and Sarah tried to do the same. But she was not quick enough. The suction drew her toward the fast moving train and she was struck on the head by the shoe which glides along the deadly third rail. The iron penetrated the child's brain and she must have been killed Instantly. Emanual Severlno, an Italian, of 17 Bo rum street, Brooklyn, who had also been walking along the trestle, picked the little form In his arms and ran back to Ramblersville.

He found Mary Schl moller, the mother, and put the dead gir in her arms. Witn a cry of anguish Mrs. Schlmoller dropped 10 the ground She had swooned, and it was with con siderable difficulty that she was resusci tated. The body of the child had in the meantime been removed. Mrs.

Schimoller, awakened as If from a horrible dream, still saw some blood that nad trickled to the ground from the body of her girl, ana Decame nystericai. The body was removed to Kuoff's morgue at Ozone Park and the coroner was notified. It seemB that no one on the B. R. T.

train was aware of what had happened and the train sped on to Rockaway Beach. The police expect to arrest the motorman some time to-day. saved car Mrs. George R. Turnbull Calm in Face of Great Danger $6,000 Machine Wrecked by Train.

(Special to the Eagle.) Babylon, L. August 9 Mrs. George R. Turnbull, widow of the well-known Brooklyn financier, who died at his country home between this place and Bay Shore few months ago, saved her life, yesterday afternoon, when her auto mobile became stalled on the tracks of the Long Island Railroad, by Jumping from the tonneau and running to a place or safety. Mrs.

Turnbull and her chauffeur. Eu gene Donly, were the only occupants of the big car, which was valued at $6,000. Mrs. Turnbull was seated in the rear of the machine, which has a limousine body. is earing the Litchfield avenue crossing, Donly slowed the car down "and then, thinking that there was no element of danger, put on speed to cross.

As he did so the mechanism of the car failed to work, and the machine became stalled, Mrs. Turnbull saw the eastbound Pat- chogue express. In charge of Conductor Thompson and Engineer Flanagan, approaching at high speed and hardly a hundred yards away, but with the utmost calmness she unfastened the door, stepped out and called to Donly to aban don the car and run for his life. Donly Jumped, swung his hands to the engineer to stop, and then ran. Flanagan applied the brakes and brought the train to a standstill in short order, but not soon enough to prevent hitting the car.

The big machine was carried a hundred feet and tossed over on the Bide track, where It lay until today. It Is damaged beyond repair. It was insured. Mrs. Turnbull stood the shock very well.

She was removed to her home later in the day. The crossing is entirely unprotected. HOSPITAL SITE BOUGHT. Plot Near Roosevelt Acquired for Building for Freeport Institution. Model Structure Planned.

(Special to the Eagle,) Freeport, L. August 9 The South Shore Hospital Association, of which Mrs O. H. P. Belmont ls president, has pur chased a parcel of land on the Freeport Hempstead road, known as the Wiggins Farm, and will in the near future begin the erection of a modern hospital building on the site.

The site Is about half a mile south of Roosevelt, on the New York and Long island 1 raction Company's trolley line, and a little over a mile from Freeport station. The land ls high and level and is conceded to be a desirable site for a hospital. The hospital at present is located on South Ocean avenue, Freeport, in tho heart of the Woodeleft residential section. The association has a year's lease on the house used for hospital purposes. This expires next spring, and it is contemplated that the new struoture will bs ready when the present lease expires.

TWO ALARMS IN ONE NIGHT. Lynbrook Firemen Busy House and Contents Burned No Water Available. (Special to the Eagle,) Lynbrook, L. August 9 The local firemen were called out twice Saturday night. The first alarm came about 7 o'clock from the building formerly occu pied by Edward Bates, which has been' condemned to make room for the new 72-lnch conduit for the City of New York, and ls now occupied by a number of Italians.

An oil stove had exploded. Juat as the firemen arrived the Italians succeeded in throwing the stove out of doors. No: part of the house had become ignited. and the flames were extinguished without difficulty: The second alarm was sounded shortly before midnight, Frank Flohr's house, outside the village limits, being on fire. The water supply was Inadequate, and the firemen could not save the building.

which was entirely consumed. They de- voted their efforts to saving neighboring 1 buildings, which they succeeded in doing, Mr. and Mrs. Flohr did not succeed in saving any of their household effects. It is not known If there waa any insurance on the building.

FAVORS it; or gaynor Sure That Either on Democratic Ticket Would Sweep the City of New York. SAW MUCH POVERTY ABROAD. Notes What Foreign Ports Are Doing With Dredges and Also Notes Jamaica Bay Delay. Henry A. Meyer, the "Father of Van-derveer Park," baa returned from Europe and all Flatbush Is Joyous.

"Father" Meyer came on the Baltic He was accompanied by his wife and his daughter, Miss Anna Meyer. They returned to their home in Vanderveer Park, and for the remainder of the season will be at borne to their friends. To an Eagle reporter to-day Mr. Meyer declared that he was delighted to be home. "If there Is one thing that makes an American love his country and his countrymen is to go to Europe.

If he has the least spark of Americanism In him. he will come, back a deep-dyed patriot. I am one. Nowhere will a trav eler find a man or a woman who com pares favorably, on the whole, with the representative American." The enterprise of the Eagle was extolled by Mr. Meyer.

He said while In Paris he was entertained there royally and made to feel at home. It was the nearest I came to being the American I want to be while abroad. "The air and tone of that Eagle office In Paris," said Mr. Meyer, "made me feel One. I couldn't remain away.

I went every day. I met several Eagle men there, and it was a pleasure to see them." It was from Paris that the story of the daughter of the former candidate for mayor, meeting with a German count, Count von Plauto, from whom she was forced to flee, originated. While matters were entirely mixed by the Manhattan dallies, the Eagle report was very fair, Mr. Meyer declared. That Is, an Incident of that nature occurred, but Count von Plauto was not the leading character, nor wbb the incident of recent date.

"You see," said Mr. Meyer to-day, "when an American, filled with American ideas and Ideals, goes abroad and meets titled beings of whom he knows nothing he Is a bit skeery. Americans traveling with a daughter are generally pointed out as rich, and manv mothers. or match-makers, meet and try to arrange ujaicnes oecween the American girls and the titled Europeans. It happened that once, when Anna was In Europe, one old woman was very friendly to my daughter, and when the old woman's titled youthful male acquaintance became too attentive we departed on our trip to another city.

That was all. Theee facts only came to light, but the names and facta hnv hean accidentally mixed up. My wife, however, is too American to reoognlie such foreign r'JT! a the9e- 80 lB daughter." While abroad Mr. Mever moflo An study of the waterways, and he received considerable courtesy from tho Fnttoh and German governments. "It Is remark able, he said, "what efforts are being put forth, both In Germany and England, to improve their docking facilities and waterways, while we are doing practically nothing.

We have Jamaica Bay that affords the best opportunity in the world. yet, with half the opportunities, these governments have done triple as much. we must remember that the ships of today are not schooners, but of 2K.0nn tons displacement and a quarter of a mile in length. Our waterways were eaulnned years agoto handle small boats, but the ships of to-day must -have new anchorage, and the Jamaica Bay improvement must do nurrieo to meet the demand. At Liverpool and Antwerp twelve dredges are at work all the time, and millions of dollars have been expended on improvements.

At amburg 600 cranes are installed to handle freightage." Mr. Meyer has gathered considerable data, which he will make known for the sake of the government in the near future. One thing that Impressed him was the poverty that exists in parts of tne Bnusn isles. The poor people of New lYork are princes compared to the poor of London, he thinks. "In a procession at Edinburg, Scotland," he Bays, half the children were barefoot and only partly clothed, As big as I am, I had to turn away and cry.

If I remained longer. I would have come home poor." The land in Scotland and Ireland Is not sold, but leaseholds are the practical methods of disposing of property. Those who are able to do so cannot purchase their property and must remain merely lessees. "One thing I blame as the base of this condition of poverty throughout Scotland and in Ireland is the business methods of the English. Say.

In real estate, for instance, when an Englishman makes some money he is afraid to speculate and distribute It. holds on to It, and the laboring class, therefore, sees nothing of that money which the American speculates with and distributes. I Baw womnn and men actually too poor to buy shoes In Glasgow, Dublin, Edinburg and other cities in the British Isles. It Is Btrange to see mansions near Dublin and hovels In Dublin. Yes, the New York Dovertv- stricken creatures are princes oompared to their European brothers and Bisters of misfortune." Mr.

Meyer plays an Important Dart in the political situation in Brooklvn. and Senator McCarren has a wholesome respect for him and his strength. He repeated to-day that Herman A. Metz is the most likely possible candidate for the mayoralty honors. "He has that force and Independence that one needs, and he also has the large German following tn New York City.

He is a man who never breaks a pramise and who caqnot be influenced when he starts out on anything. Then he Is a thorough business man." In Justice Gaynor also, Mr. Meyer sees a man whose abality Is widely known, and he declared that, with one or the other, a Democratic victory Is assured. When asked If he will be a candidate himself. Mr.

Meyer said: "Never. I am not, and will not be, a candidate." He ntlmated, however, that Flatbush will play an Important part In the selection of a man for the borough presidency. No names at present," he said, "but we have a candidate from this town who will carry everything before him. He is the traightest and cleanest man obtainable, and, beside, has business acumen, as well as judicial dignity. Our man will be a winner." NEWSBOY PLAINTIFF.

Nearly Run Down by Auto, He Has Chauffeur Arrested Says Man Slapped Him. William Farrell, a Jamaica newsboy, 18 years old, caused the arrest, late on Saturday night, of Frank Sanderlin, a chauffeur, of 881 Bedford avenue, Brook- lyn'at the corner of Washington and Fulton streets. In the automobile with Sanderlin were the owner, James Kreamer of 175 Vernon avenue, and two other men. Sanderlin drove the car around the corner and almost ran down young The newsboy was engaged because the chauffeur did not blow his horn to warn him, and merely said: "Why didn't you blow your horn?" Sanderlin ls al leged to have stopped the auto and to have jumped out and slapped Farrell In the face. A policeman, who was near by, immediately arrested Sanderlin and made a charge of disorderly conduct against him in the station bouse.

He's keeping ice on his head, and he'll come out all right," is the frequent comment heard among aeronauts about the. performances of Charles Foster Wll-lard in the progress of his education as an aviator. Willlard baa settled aown to business and is systematically studying his machine and its controls. He is sticking to the policy of malting short flights and frequent ones. This morning, at Mineola, he went up for several short Jumps and made one semicircular swaep that reminded th onlookers of Curtisa' work when he was tuning up for his attempt to win the Scientific American trophy.

Wlllard will put iu some more practice work this evening and to-morrow morning weather conditions permit. THEFT CHARGE FALLS. Woman Who Lost Money Decides Not to Press Complaint. When Joseph Hessele, a salesman, age4 41, of 2609 Broadway, appeared in tho Flatbush court yesterday on a charge of larceny preferred by Miss Emma B. Towns a nurse in the Riverside Hospital on North Brother Island, the young woman refused to press the complaint and the salesman was dismissed.

Miss Towns was on a Brighton train Saturday night and somewhere between Park row and the Prospect Park station her bag, watch hung from her wrist, was opened and $10 stolen. Miss Towns pointed out Hessele as the one who took the money Jiut she had no witnesses to prove it. At the station house the money was not found oil Hessele, but Miss Towns made the complaint anyway and said ehe would be in court in the morning. She was there this morning but she was not bo anxious to press the complaint. PROPOSALS.

Before Departing on Brief Vaca tion He Outlines Conditions for the Eagle. EXODUS TO NEW JERSEY SURE As Result of Opening of McAdoo Tunnels Need for Brooklyn to Be Alert. Before starting on a brief vacation, on Saturday, Acting Chairman William Mc Carroll of the Public Service Commis sion, and one of the two members from this borough, emphasized to the Eagl the Imperative need of Immediate transi development in Brooklyn, and explaine in a general way the lines along which the development should proceed. Pointing to New Jersey as a portentous object-lesslon. Commissioner McCarroll said that, In his estimate, the recent opening of the lower McAdoo tunnel would cause an exodus of Manhattanltei to that state far greater than that -which followed the completion of the upper tunnel, and declared that he did not wish to leave town, even for a fortnight, with out calling the attention of all publlo spirited Brooklynltes to the necessity of urging insistently counteracting enter prises, unless they would Bee the natural growth of their community ignominlously dwarfed.

"Transit development la, and muBt made, a transcendent Issue," said Com missioner McCarroll. "It must be kept constantly before the people. Its lm portance, not alone to Brooklyn, but to the city at large, cannot be exagger atcd. "The opening of the last McAdoo tun nel not only emphasizes the necessity additional transportation facilities for Brooklyn, but also furnishes the incen tive and encouragement. "It Is obvious that, if the money spent on tho McAdoo North River system was well spent, as all people believe, It is a great encouragement to similar enter prises by the people on the two sides of the East River.

"Brooklyn Is one of the principal parts of Greater New York. Other things be ing anywhere near equal, tremendous do velopment must take place In that dlrec tion. That being so, any adequate plan of transit development must have par ticular regard for that borough. "Transportation facilities between Manhattan and Brooklyn should, and must, be made as convenient and com plete as possible." As the first essentials In any compre hensive scheme of transit improvement for the greater city, Commissioner Mo- Carroll let it for the first time be publicly known that he regarded the building of three great trunk subway liness. Of these trunk lines, one, in the opinion ot the commissioner, should be longitudinal and the other two transverse.

The longitudinal trunk line, ha thinks, should extend from the Bronx to Coney Island, including the route of the Fourth avenue subway In Brooklyn. One of the two transverse lines, he be lieves should start at the North River and proceed eastward to the ocean, running under Canal street, fn Manhattan, over the new Manhattan Bridge and under the FlatbUBh avenue extension and Flat bush avenue proper for its entire length. For the second transverse trunk road the North River and Jamaica should be the terminals. That line, according to Mr, McCarroll, should be operated under Fifty-ninth street, In Manhattan, over the Queensboro Bridge, and thence under the various thoroughfares leading direct to Jamaica. In this route the Steinway tube is regarded as a possible substitute for the Queensboro Bridge.

Commissioner McCarroll also laid great emphasis on the need of putting the Man battan Bridge Into operation the day it is opened to the public. The necessity was so great, he said, as to be obvious to all that is to all but the "usual few." Here, in full. Is what Commissioner McCarroll had to pay regarding the local transit situation before starting on his vacation. "The existing transit situation involves a menace which cannot be too strongly emphasized. Correctly or Incorrectly, the Impression prevails that there Is money ror subway Investment only in Manhat tan, and unless Brooklynltes seize ever opportunity and insist on transportation improvement In their borough, Brooklyn Is liable to miss her rightful share ot de velopment.

"The opening of the last McAdoo tunnel Is of vast significance. Already the tunnels which Mr. McAdoo is building under the North River have taken a vas army of citizens to New Jersey who would otherwise have preferred to remain In Greater New York. The downtown tube will cause a new emigration In that dl rectlon far greater, I believe, than those which have preceded it. Some of those who have sought the Jersey suburbs have no doubt, been actuated by other motives.

Dut in tne case or tne big majority I am convinced that the compelling motive is superior transit facilities. "Consequently, the transportation Im provements between Manhattan and New Jersey not only emphasize the necessity, but furnish an incentive and encourage ment. It is obvlouB that If the money that has been spent on the McAdoo sys tem has been wisely spent, as all people believe, it Is great encouragemont to similar enterprises by people on the two sides of the East River. For, it must be remembered that, even under existing conditions, those who use the McAdoo tunnels are and will continue to be few as compared with the vast number of persons traveling between Manhattan and Brooklyn. "Brooklyn is one of the principal parts of Greater New lork in every respect.

It has a large population. Other things being anywhere near equal, development must lie in that direction. That being so, any comprehensive system of rapid transit planned for the city Bhould have particular regard for that borough. Transit facilities between Manhattan and Brook lyn should beas convenient and complete as possibles "Those sections of city in which people are massed should be provided with transportation, but, in connection with that, the mentis ror Duumng up tne outskirts of the city should also be pro vided. The first essentials, then, in my opin ion, are three great trunk lines, leading from one end of the city to the other.

There should be three in all at the ou. set one longitudinal and the remaining two transverse. The longitudinal trunk line should begin In the Bronx and extend to Coney Island, utilizing, of course, the Fourth avenue subway In Brooklyn. Both of the transverse routes should begin at the North River. One of them should extend easterly under Canal street, over the Manhattan Bridge, and under the Flatbush avenue extension and Flatbush avenue proper to the ocean.

The other should be built under Fifty- ninth street, crossing the East River over the Queensboro Bridge and running easterly to Jamaica along a direct route. The so-called bridge BuDway loop Is a very Important improvement, but that I class more as an internal line, designed for local traffic. Kssentiai are the trunk lines, Blnce from them all further transit routes must radiate. Likewise, they would be the means of bringing the city, together, of providing quick and convenl-, cnt transportation irora one borough to another. "It would Beem almost needless to emphasize the need of putting the Manhattan Ilridee into operation on the day It Is opened, but thero are the usual few who apparently fail to appreciate the necessity.

Brooklynltes should insist on the utilization of that bridge without an hour's delay. There should no repetition of the Queensboro Bridge fiasco. "The transportation issue is, and must be made, a transcendent issue. It is all- Asks Court to Direct That Judgment for $11,943 Be Against Him Officially. OUSTED WILLIAM H.

WALKER. Ahearn Claims He Should Not Be Personally Eesponslble for Damages While Acting for City. Judge Goff, in the Supreme Court, In Manhattan, to-day adjourned until Wednesday the application of Borough President Ahearn of Manhattan for an order directing that the Judgment obtained by William H. Walker against him for $11,943 should be entered against him officially and not personally. It is said that there has been no Judicial ruling on this point, and It ls im portant for all officials and heads of departments, to have this matter passed on by the courts.

Borough President Ahearn removed Walker from his position as superintendent of public buildings during the prog ress of the Investigation directed by Mayor McCiellan by the commissioners of accounts into the management of the borough president's office. The case came up on the return of an order to show cause, obtained by Ahearn through hia counsel, Charles L. Hoffman, from Justice Brady. It is said that with a Judgment against Ahearn personally, he would be liable for It, but that It it were entered against the city the municipality would be liable for It. Lawyer Hoffman said It was an official act of the borough president and should therefore, be entered against him in his public capacity.

The affidavit of President Ahearn was submitted, in which he said that when he entered on the duties of his office as borough president of Manhattan he found Walker tn the position of superintendent of public buildings, and that he subsequently removed him without a hearing, and refused to listen to any explanation, because Walker was not the head of a department and was not entitled to a hearing. Ahearn said he did not appoint John R. Voorhls, the present superintendent of public buildings, to that, office until March 3, 1908, and that, except for a very brief period, Voorhis has not drawn any salary, and that there Is now in the city tseasury approximately (7,500 due to the incumbent of the office. The entry of the Judgment against him personally would cause him great hardship and great annoyance. He Bald he had applied to the corporation counsel, directing that the Judgment should be entered against him officially, but that Corporation Counsel Pendleton being away, it was a matter in which he should retain private counsel, as the corporation counsel could only represent him officially, while this was a personal matter.

The corporation counsel has taken an appeal from the order of Justice Green-baum directing the issuance of a peremptory writ of mandamus to compel Ahearn to reinstate Walker, and also directing the payment to him of all the arrears of salary. SAYS DETAILS ARE WRONG But Mr. Caffrey Insists Boss Murphy Shot at Him. Says He and Girl Companion Hoard Bullets Sing By Them Will Not Say More. (Special to the Eagle.) Good Ground, L.

August 9 According to a story in the New York World of yesterday thiB is the open season for na tives and summer residents here, and Charles F. Murphy, who ls a deputy sheriff of Suffolk County, went gunning for them a few days ago. The Tammany leader iB said to have been armed with a Bhotgun and a revolver when he went after William Caffrey of East Quogue, whose father keeps a summer hotel there, and Miss Sylvia Allen, 17 yearB id, who, with her mother, was a guest at the Caffrey HouBe, Murphy is charged by the World with having fired two shots at young Mr. Caf frey and bis fair companion. According to the World story, they were in a row- boat and passed under the Tammany boss' pier, which adjoins the premises of the elder Cattrey.

Caffrey, when interviewed by an Eagle reporter, this morning, said that be and Mis8 Allen were shot at, but that they were not in a boat and were not trespassing on Mr. Murphy's land or his waters. Further than to say that the details of the World story were all wrong, ha would not deny nor confirm the report of the incident. His father could not be seen, and his sister was more reticent than her brother. Miss Allen ana ner mother have left the Caffrey house and their address could not bo learned.

Mr. Murphy could not be seen. He has a telephone, but by an arrangement with the company, his number does not sd- peear in the directory, and Is known to only those who receive it by his permission. He does not encourage newspaper men and the general public in calling on mm. ne is quoted by the World as saying that he did not care to discuss it, but was willing to let his neiehbors say what they liked in regard to his hav- ng shot at young Mr.

Caffrey and his girl friend. Murphy is a deputy sheriff of the coun ty, but It is doubted by people here that ne would deliberately shoot at nnvnne for merely trespassing on his m-ODertv. Young Mr. Caffrey, however, insists uc no biiui hi, ana mat tne man who held the gun was the leader of Tammany Hall. TWO SONGS AND A FIGHT.
