Castor was the "lookout," and every time the baker left rolls or buns on a doorstep he let his beard flow fres In the wind as a signal to Polmx that the coast was clear. When the rolls or buns were carried Inside a house Castor's beard drooped mournfully, which meant, "Lie low. Our break Scarcely have the echoes of the ventures of Dionysius, the mongoose; Hippolytus, positively only seagull in existence with an alrshaft as a habitat, and Taurus, th seagoing steer, died away than Brooklyn's animate creation Is again in eruption. This time it Is Castor and Pollux, the New Lots goats, that are bound to get their four feet into the pages af somehow. You may read about the geese which saved Rome or the wolf which Is supposed to have given sustenance to Romulus and Remus, but you can't find much about goats in history from the time of the first Phoenicians up to now.

Wherefore the frantic efforts of Castor and Pollux to win a place in the spotlight. Castor and Pollux are known throughout New Lots as the burglarious and cross-bun-eatlng goats. Time was when they were both content with a milk-can cover apiece as a matutinal shack, a red flannel petticoat for luncheon, and three newspapers each before they retired. Then everyone began to live luxuriously and Castor and Pollux followed suit. I One day Castor, meditatively chew- Ing a straw and letting the lid of his )sh blockade was the pilferer, right eye drop slowly over the wicked But one morning a bun and roll orb like a shutter put over a Chinese sleuth hid behind his window cir-shop just before a tong war breaks tains and detected Castor and Pollux out, said to Pollux: In their porch-climbing stunt.

Castor "Go to, Bill. I have noticed that horned a bae of buns and passed them fast Is off for the present." With practice they got to be the cleverest pair of bun and roll thieves In Brooklyn. Hardly a morning passed that either Castor or Pollux failed to gallop away with a bag of baker's dough. "Ah!" said Castor. "Here Is a bag of horn rolls.

I have two horns, so these horn rolls evidently were meant for me. May I never baa again If I refuse to look a gift roll in the horn!" But cross-buns were their long suit. They ate them gluttonously. ho quick were they in making tneir "getaway" that for a long time New Lots could not solve the mystery of the vanishing rolls. A corps of bun and roll sleuths was organized.

Once or twice the sleuth was just quick enough to see a beard disappearing around ft corner or a horn winking out of sight. Therefore, the report arose that some mysterious character with a beard and horns, oerhaps the old boy himself or a German U-boat commander trvine to break the Brit to Pollux. Then they both galloped away. They were caught red-hoorea, so to speak. The bun and roll sleuth reported the facts to the New Lots Citizens League, and the league will send a letter to the Health Commissioner asking him to establish a barred zone for goats.

CALDER RECEIVES OVER 200 LETTERS His Constituents Want the Sen ate Rules Changed to Prevent Any Filibustering. XEWYORK PEOPLE URGE ACTION Brooklyn Senator Has Good Seat In Chamber and Has Ijocatcd His Offices. Eagle Bureau, 901 Colorado Washington, March 7 William M. Calder, Brooklyn's first United States Senator, has already begun to hear his constituents, who are no longer confined to the boundaries of Congressional district in Brooklyn, but are now spread through the length and breadth of New York State. Senator Calder has been hearing, by telegrams and letter, thus far, to the extent of more than 200 communications, on the subject of reforming the rules of the1 Senate.

The messages are practically unanimous for a change that will prevent a little group of obstructionists from preventing action by the Senate on any measure that requires a vote. It happens that these messages fall In with Senator Calder's own views on the subject. As a new Senator, chosen under, a popular primary and a direct election Bystem, Mr. Calder comes to Washington with credentials signed by the people of New York State, rather than by any political convention or State Legislature. It causes no surprise in Washington that he reflects what is believed here to be the view of an overwhelming majority of American citizens cpncernlng the need for a change the archaic methods of the Senate, The Brooklyn Senator Is fairly well settled down in the routine of his duties.

His seat on the floor of the upper House is that which was occupied by Senator Weeks of during the last session. It in the rear row, on the Republican side, the fourth seat from the center aisle. Seats go by seniority in the Senate, and despite this fact, Senator Calder is well located. All Senate seats are fairly good, because of the smallness of the chamber, save those the extreme right and left. Senator Calder succeeded in getting his offices located yesterday afternoon.

He falls heir to the rooms occupied by Vice President Marshall during the past four years. While Mr. Marshall has a room Just in the rear of the Senate lobby, in the Capitol, he has done most of his work the Senate office building, where had the suite on the fourth floor, numbered 452. The Vice President, the beginning of the present session tne senate, moved to other quar celebrate his birthday, as well as his entrance into the Senate as a mem-! ber of that body. He was 48 years old on March 3, the day before his term as a Senator began.

Mrs. Cal-j der and their daughter. Miss Elsie Calder, were present to see him sworn in on March 5, together with Mrs. Justin McCarthy and the Senator's father, who is a Democrat and a Wilson supporter, but who admits that he voted for his son. there are a lot of rolls and buns seat tereti over the front steps or the New Lots houses In the morning.

I am tired of tomato-can covers, and since we can't cop off any potatoes and onions or even raclflc Coast smelts let's turn robbers." That was how the two turned porch-cllmbera. They. trailed the baker and whistle at the corner of Kast Second street snd Cortelyou road for ten minutes without raising a policeman. The post, It. was stated, is a short one, and Patrolman McCarthy was on it at the time.

He would have heard the'whts-tles, It was declared. Detectives of the Sixth Branch are trying to find Mrs. De Witt's assailant. PACIFISTS SXIB MTCS. CATT.

Dropped as Officer for Pledging And In Case of War. When members of the Women's Peace Party of New York City met, at the Pee Wofflngton Coffee House, 11 East Forty-fourth street, Manhattan, last night to talk over the affairs of the organization and re-elect officers for the year, a spirited fight occurred over the question of again electing Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt an honorary vice chairman. It was held by the more determined peace advocates that when, as president of the National Woman Suffrage nartv. Mrs.

Catt had pledged its mem bers to war work In the event of hos- mules, sue iuiu nuuitru ic of the Peace party. The pacifists won, and Mrs. Catt was dropyed as a vice chairman. Miss Crystal Eastman was re-elected chairman" of the bdoy, and the follow. Ing were chosen vice chairmen: Mrs.

Amos Plnchot, Mrs. James B. War-basse and Miss M. Z. Doty.

Mrs. Henry Villard was re-elected an honorary chairman. G. A. R.

CHARGE NEGATIVE Then Accused Man Confessed) on Judge Roy's Warning.

As a result of the conviction of Wll- vtl w. hi ft: ui fcianu larceny, before Judge Roy In the a cm County Court, District Attorney Lewis' belief In the value of circumstantial evidence was considerably strengthened today. Patterson was night watchman In a boarding stable conducted by John J. Hillls at 72 Washington avenue, and on the night of February 3, after his employer had left him in charge, he staggered Into the street and told a policeman that robbers had entered the place, beaten him and stolen $149.09 In cash, which was in the strong-box. The only evidenco against Patterson was negative, or circum-statlal, and before the Jury he stuck to the robbery story.

The Jury declined to believe his story and found him guilty. Judge Roy told him he would better tell the truth, so Patterson led the detectives to a vacant lot where he had "planted" the money from the strong-box. He wli! be sentenced later. TO HAVE MILITIA PLATOONS War Department Encourages National Guord in Villages. Washington, March 7 To encourage small towns and villages to maintain National Guard units, the War Department, In a circular Issued today has authorized the establishment of detached platoons.

Two or more of these platoons, coming from nearby towns or settlements, would form a company In a regiment organized In that part of the State. The minimum strength fixed for de- tacned platoons is fixed ot thirty-four men, one officer (first or second lieu- tenant), one sergeant, four corporals nine privates, first class, and nineteen privates. The plan would supply a four-squad formation which could be drilled in company maneuvers, so as to take Its place with the other platoons of the company on mobilization. DESTROYING SUGAR CANE Cuban Rebels Trying to Force American Intervention. Confidential news received here today from a reliable source in Cuba gives Information that the rebels are trying to force American intervention by destroying all the cane fields and property of foreign or native owners.

The letter reads: "The rebels are being defeated by the Government forces everywhere, but they devide into small bands and set fire to all they find in their way, so that the Americans will intervene and they will be spared the punishment which they so well deserve. "The sugar mill Stewart of American owners (the Stewart Sugar Com pany) has been damaged, and more than half its canes burned. The same can be said of Central Florida, another American sugar mill. Ceptral Agramonte, a sugar mill belonging to a Cuban corporation, has lost all of its canes. Every single field has been burned.

Out of 250,000 bags which this mill expected to make, only about 30,000 will be put on the market. This will occasion greal loss to all the stockholders. The prices of sugar also will be very high. "President Menocal has not allowed this news to reach the United States, as he ls specially desirous of terminating the revolt without American intervention. On the other hand, the rebels In Santiago do not send this news to the United States because they are trying to appear as the wronged party before the eyes of the American people.

"The laboring Cubans are wishing that the United States would intervene and remain in Cuba forever, in order that their rights be protected."

Brooklyn's supply water was cut off today by the Board of Water Supply. For the next two weeks, at least, the borough will totally dependent upon. Its old Long Island system of putv.pu:? stations and reservoirs for its water supply, The net effect of the withdrawal of th Catskill supply of water. Deputy Mater Commissioner Jacoo 8. Lang thorn and Borough Engineer Carlog I.obo stated today, will be a decrease in the pressure of the Brooklyn water supply.

There will be an ample sup- ply of water Itself. The decrease in pressure will be especially notlccabl In the high sections of the borough. Apartment house dwellers In th4 high sections, especially those occupy-Ing top floors, should not be surprised, if they find it difficult to secure a good flow of water from their faucets for tlie next two weeks. The officials of the department here today were receiving complaints about the fallint; off in pressure within a few hours after the change from Catskill to Long Island water had been made. The Catskill water supply, was cut off by the Board of Wnter Supply, which controls the aqueduct, to permit a final examination and tesl of the Catskill supply system lending from Manhattan into I his borough.

Officials of both the Water Supply Board and the Department of Mater Supply, Gas and Electricity, asserted today that the use of the Catskill system here had not demonstrated any unexpected defects or weaknesses, but that the Water Supply Board desired to make a final test of the system before finally turning it over to the city department on April I. The borough authorities wore warned some time ago that the Cats-kill supply would lie cut off this so they were all prepared to put. the pumping stntlonsf nn Long Island back in operations again and also to draw on the reserve water supply in the Brooklyn and Long Island reser The Rldgewood reservoir was full practically to capacity today; the Hempstead storage reservoir was half full, and the other reservoirs of lbs svstcm practically filled, Mr, Loho stated, The reservoirs could furnish about 25.OO0.0O0 gallons of water a dav for more than two weeks, if necessary, be stated, and. in addition, hi pumping stations at work could send hi 13O.00O.il00 gallons each day. a total available supply or 000.000 gallons per dav 'l his supply Is more than 10,000.000 gallons in ex cess of the daily demand LOST AND POUND.

(Special to The Eagle.) Houston, Texas. March 7 (with the First Cavalry, en route from the border) The Brooklyn troops and head-quarers staff of the First Cavalry, re-turning from their eight months of service on the border, made the first Important stop of their trip at Texas, last night.

After the horses had been exercised, watered and fed, the troopers were granted three hours of freedom to see the town, an dthey did as thoroughly as the time would permit. The fact that the troopers had a pay-day shortly before they left also helped to make this possible, but as a trooper's pay Is small, most of the February pay has already been exhausted. One of the centers of Interest In Houston was the big Rice Hotel, where many of the soldiers went for dinner. The hotel ever since the men of Squadron A stopped there on their way North, and literally ate and drank up everything In the house, has had a marked respect for the appetites of home-going soldiers, and particularly cavalrymen, and was ready for the Brooklyn men. After dinner the troopers scattered In small groups about the town; some went to the Y.

M. C. A. for a hot shower and a swim, others to the movies, and some spent the time until departure Just sightseeing. The Brooklyn contingent of the regiment had been preceded by the up-State troops, which passed through Houston In the afternoon.

The troops are traveling quite slowly, and It is possible that they will not arrive in Brooklyn much before Wednesday of next week. The troop trains will not stop at Kansas City for any length of time, and the next important place that the cavalrymen will see will probably be Chicago, which should be reached tomorrow, and where the troopers will remain for several hours. It Is planned. Everyone on the train Is in good health and better spirits than at anytime since their border service began, and this feeling is growing constantly stronger as every day brings the soldiers nearer home. PERSISTENT PAIR WEDDED Justice Cropsey Officiates, After Numerous Appeals.

Fleck appeared at chambers yesterday and the day before Insisting that he would have none other than Justice Cropsey to perform the ceremony. He said; "We both admire Justice Cropsey very much and because of his uromlnence we win nave ntm or wait until he finds time to oblige us." The court delayed his appearance on the bench long enough to perform the ceremony. 1 Justice Cropsey smilingly wisneo the couple the best of fortune and.

shaking hands, bowed them out of chambers. TEXER INDORSES FLAX. Gives Consent lo Purchase St. Louiis Club. St.
