The chiefs of police of tile smaller cities, town Villages and hamlets' of the State of New York came to town yesterday to "convene" and got lost In more Ways than one.

If they had held their convention In a decent one or two-hnre town there would have been a local appropriation for their entertainment, a "ladies' committee" on fried chicken and doughnuts, the town band, bunting and orations. But not one person in 067,989 of New York's big metropolitan population knew that the plated pie-plates and the gold lace were in' town and the only town band that greeted the men was that at Dreamland, where the chief constables made merry until closing hour last night. Of course there were Important chiefs there as well the heroe of the cross roads. Major fiylves.e.-, for example, the veteran head of the Washington, D. C.

force, who Is an authority on polite science all over the world, and Chief Cas-sada, of Klmlra, who has quite a respectable force at his command, and big Charley Goodrich of Binghamtou, who weighs 307 pounds and looks every ounce of it. and Secretary Hyatt of Albany, the director of as tidy a lot of cops as may be found in a week' hunt, not to speak of Rome, Watertown. Canandaigua, Auburn, loveliest of villages, where the new president of tho State Chief's Association holds forth, and Cohoes, Little Fails. Niagara Falls and Hudson. Talked at Great Length and Paid Up -v Back, Cues.

The officials held their tenth annual convention, discussed police subjects at great length, Including of course the dis-poniUon of the social evil; elected new officer for the next year, decided to hold their .1910 convention in Schenectady, talked at. great length on many topics and paid their baak dues with alacrity and joy. The roll call showed that there were present' Chiefs Barry of Rome, who was the former president; Baxter ot Water-town, Beeman of Canandaigua, Bell of Auburn, Brophy of Utlca, Brennan of Saranac Lake. Cadin of Syracuse, Causa-da of Elmira. Donovan of Portehester, -Goodrich of Blnghamton.

Brennan of Mohawk, Perrln of Mamaroneck and Wolf of Yonkers. Ellas P. Clayton, formerly deputy chief of New York City, was one of the committee on of which General George Schoeffel of tho Erie Road police was chairman.

The meeting was held in the "office of the-' Brio police bureau in Room 2, Pier 21, North Holahan Extended City's Glad Hand. Tue New York official recognition of ''the chiefs was in charge of George R. Holahan, borough inspector of Brooklyn and Queens, because Commissioner Baker and Chief Inspector Schmittberger -were so awfully busy with the preparation of the Hudson-Fulton celebration details that they could not spare the time. They sent the police boat Patrol down to the dock to take the visitors to Coney Island Tho otopt i. made at 11 o'clock in the forenoon, but it was nearly three hours later when the, chiefs got through with their meeting and when all the stragglers were gathered in.

Rvan of Cornino- hart hn lost in the shuffle, and was found somewhere in the neighborhood of Grant's Tomb by a plain patrolman of the city's force. He got in very late. When the delegates and members reached the police boat they announced that the officers for the year had been appointed, namely Chief William C. Bell of Auburn, president; John Jameson of Cohoes. vice president, and James L.

Hyatt of secretary and treasurer. Papers on po- lice subjects, they said, too, had been read at tho meeting by Chief Donovan Portehester, Goodrich of Blnghamton and. Mayor Sylvester of Washington. Tobk Long Trip Along New York's Waterfront. The inspector in charge of the ex-t pedition gave the chiefs quite a water trip, wnn not a drop to drink" for four solid hours and not even a sandwich.

But they were filled to the full with scenery. The boat pointed her nose first down in the dtrection of ihe Battery, 1 then around and up Ihe East River, under the bridges, new and old. to the Harlem, with eleven bridges between the East and North rivers to pass under.

The amusement caterers threw everything open to the policemen, and the attrac- L.u.ia i mui.uuu, uuuii ruiK, ouri ave- jiue and the Bowery were at the free disposal of the chiefs. It would, take a column to tell what happened to the chiefs in Hell Gate, on the Scaler, the Reel and the other bumpy things that are at the beach. The understanding was that they were to have a shaking up, and they had that. And there was not a mnn in all or the shows who could guess Goodrich's weight, even, tho I professional weight gucssers. That pleased Goodrich.

They guessed all the way from 247 to 2S7 pounds. He weighs 307. DOINGS AT HUNTER. Hunter. September 4 The guests at Maple Manor are spending a very lively and enjoyable vacation.

Several Minor Changes Due to Steady Balloting; Yesterday Contest Closes. Soon. The flood of votes in Eagle's Opera Ticket Contest by yesterday's count reached the high water mark of 600,000.

Every one of the contestants has had a hand in totaling up this avalanche ot coupons to decide, the distribution of opera tickets for the New Academy of Music season this fall, and the race all along has been most interesting. No startling change was occasioned by the large number of votes cast yesterday, but there were, as usual, several shifts of positions among the contestants lower down on the list. Miss Hazel Carpenter, stepped ahead of Miss Edythe Hollman, who recently gained the sixteenth position rom her. Miss Robertson and C. E.

Lounsbnry made the steady support ot tholr friends count hy jumping ahead one place. By a general shifting in his neighborhood, Nicholas Doyle gained the thirty-fourth position, while the Caledonian Hospital benefited in the same way. Close scrutiny of the list of the one hundred leaders will disclose a number of other changes all along the line, a significant evidence of tho increased, interest that is being shown among the friends of the contestants who have excellent chances to win prizes. This letter was received to-day: Editor Voting Contest: Please credit the enclosed votes to Miss Lillian Olliffe Smith, 229 Pulton street. We have "made good." We promised Miss Smith when we started her in the contest that her vote would be larger than last year's total ot 8,407.

We are now over that and have thirty days yet for our scouts to collect. I would like to thank all of Miss Smith's friends who send us coupons, and espe cially those who send no cards. I can tell them that they are helping one who will thoroughly enjoy the opera. Keep up the good work. I wish we could all be first, but as that is impossible we are going to fight for a place as high as we can possibly reach.

Wishing one and all is the contest, and the Eagle, success. ARTHUR SCHOENER. 985 Willoughby Avenue, The One Hundred Leaders. 1. Duncan.

Elephant shooting is the, most dangerous and thrilling sport that I know of, says W. Robert Foran In The Circle Magazine. Elephants commonly travel In herds of several hundred, he continues, and when maddened are the most ferocious of beasts. Two government offlclals while on tour In the Kericho district, eighteen months ago, had their caravan charged by a herd of three hundred elephants. In self-defense they had to order their native es cort to open lire.

The elephants charged repeetely, but eventually were driven off after a heavy fusillade, with loss of four killed and many wounded. A lucky escape was that of a major In the Third Hussars (British Army), who, for several days, had been" following a small herd of elephants through the forests near Mount Keniu. Finding It Im possible to get a clear view of the feeding herd, owing to the very long grass and jungle undergrowth, he climbed some thirty feet Into a tree in order to get a good shot at bis selected bull. He was armed with a six-bundred-cordite' when he fired the force of the explosion was so great that the major was knocked clean out of the tree, and remained stunned for several minutes at Its foot. On regaining the use of his senses he found that the herd ot elephants had thundered off through the forest, leaving him unhurt.

A friend of mine told me of another curious experience. He was carefully stalking a big bull elephant in a large herd, when they got his wind, and a big cow elephant charged him. He jumped behind large tree as the elephant reached him, and, being unable to stop herself in time, the elephant drove her tusks with such force into the trunk of the tree that they snapped oft close to her head. The elephant was stunned for a moment, but luckily turned and galloped after the fast retreating herd, leaving him the possessor of some eighty pounds of Ivory, valued at about $250. The elephant Is crafty animal.

A Somali hunter once told me of an incident that happened while he was acting as guide to a German who was shooting elephants near Shlratl, on the Anglo-German boundary. One day they chanced on a huge herd. The German gradually' got near the herd, selected a big bull1 elephant, and flred, wounding It. Maddened with pain and anger, the elephant charged the caravan, choosing a native porter aa th object of his wrath. He rapidly gained on tne temnea native, who was flying for his life.

Overtaking him, the elephant put his trunk Into a small bag of native manufacture, fastened to his victim's back, in which were a few small articles, such as a knife and a small, flat stone for sharpening knives, and, seizing the stone In his trunk, threw it with such force and accuracy of aim that the native fell dead at his feet, with his skull crushed. EARLY IDEALS. "Arthur, dar, why do you keep that cheap plaster cast of Venus eternally on your mantel?" asked the artist's bride.

"Puck. A wide choice of line Veilings for days, MR. ROSE EXPLAINS. Says Policeman Schappert Was Hade to Apologize for Arrest of His Son. Fred L.

Rose, a respected resident of Richmond Hill, bad an explanation to make to the Eagle to-day concerning the transfer of Patrolman Philip Schappert from the Richmond Hill precinct to the One Hundred and Fifty-fifth precinct at Oates and Throop avenues. In tho tiagle of Monday night, under the title of "Interceded for Policeman," it is stated that the transfer grew out of the arrest of Mr. Rose's son, Charles aged 19 years, anij his friend, Harry Shute, aged 17, on July 20, on a charge of disorderly conduct, by the offlrer. The young men were taken before Magistrate Qilroy the following day, and discharged. Mr.

Rose says that the arrest of the two young men was entirely unwarranted, and that they were taken In custody when coming out of a fruit store, Schappert striking young Hose without cause. The youths were taken to the station house, where Mr. Rose, senioi. Immediately secured their re-leas an parole. Before Magistrate Gil-ro, the following day, Schappert failed to substantiate his charge by witnesses and the boys were discharged.

As Mr. Rose knew that his son had committed no offfnBo, be saw the captain of the nrecinct about the matter, and after ward went to Commissioner Baker, with the result that the matter was reviewed before Inspector Kelly, and BchappfTt was ordered to apologize to Mr. Rose. This the policeman did, but at the same time again declared that young Rose was drunk at the time of bis arrest. This Mr.

Rose denies, and declares he has competc-nt witnesses to prove, not only that his son was not drunk at the time, but that he never draDk liquor In his life. At the time of making his statement to the Eagle Mr. Rose read a number of letters showing the good opinion held of him and his son by their neighbors. HOW TO APPRECIATE PRINTS.
