There transfers were made: Captain James H.

The following lieutenants were promot IN EVANGELIZING YACHT Sanford, the "Holy Choster' Whom Brooklyn Chased, Now in South Africa. WAS FOUR MONTHS AT SEA Sailed From Melbourne to Cape Town arid Averaged About Fifty Miles a Day. Louis Bossert Bays that the yacht Coro-net, before he sold her to the Rev. Frank W. Sandford.

the leader of the nuijr and Us BOclety. was no racer. She never violated the speed regulations on ocean highways and never entered into contests. He does not even know her age, or else he would not state It to-day out of Kallantrv toward tho gentler sex. "But," says he "she gets there Just the same." And this time she has come once more Into the field of maritime intellleence.

With thirty "Holy Ghosters" she sailed from Melbourne, Australia, into the Great Unknown, four months ago. She has Just arrived at Cape Town, Africa, after the voyage of 6.150 miles, at the least. Allowing 120 davs for the vovaee. the good ship Coronet made about 50 miles per day, almost as much as Wes ton, the walker. Whether this far from excessive speed was due to the faults of the water-logged old ship, or to the peculiar navigation of the Rev.

Sandford, the cablegrams do not say. rophet" Sandford set out to circum navigate the world, and win its teeming millions to his faith. At his present rate of progress, he stands a much better chance of converting the fishes and mermaids and the "Flying Dutchman than of gaining the devotion of the heathen. But undoubtedly he will point to his voyage as another instance of di vine Intervention In bis behalf. The "prophet" seems to think that by sailing in an ancient yacht over almost uncharted seas for months at a Hme, and arriving safely, he Bhows that he is destined to remain in the world and convert Its people to his faith.

He was once shipwrecked on one of his trips off the coast of Palestine In 1891, and a boatload of his fellow passengers were drowned. He attributed the accident of the ship striking the rock to the bad character of his passengers, and not to faulty navigation, and he said that ho was saved because of his faith. Whether he will ever return to Shiloh, where be has his headquarters, is a matter of conjecture. The authorities of tho State of Maine do not take kindly to his residence there, and they have had him before the courts time and time again on charges of violating the laws. He was tried three times on a chargo of manslaughter but managed to fight off a conviction.

The charge grew out of his refusal to allow his followers to have, regular medical attendance when they fell ill. He laid claim to healing pow ers and asserted that ne could raise folk from the grave. Still, in a period of twenty-one months at Shiloh, In a colony of 300 of his peculiar followers. there were six deathB from smallpox, two from diphtheria and twelve from other diseases. The case of Miss Daniels of 21 Strong place, Brooklyn, who died soon after he had immersed her in the icy water at the foot of Fifty-eighth street, Bay Ridge, Is best remembered by Brooklyn people as Illustrating his lack of healing powers.

He visited this city in 1901 and established headquarters In a hall at Court and Harrison streets. The people of Brooklyn did not prove such easy victims as the New England fishermen and farmers whom he had converted in Maine and Sanford soon left, after bap tising a few persons, one a girl of 7 years. Sandford was threatened with prosecution by the Brooklyn Children's Aid Society and left town hurriedly. He went to Stony Brook, Long Island, and there secured three or four followers who accompanied him back to Maine- They, in common with all the converts, were required to turn over all their worldly Dossessions to Sandford society, ana one Stony Brook woman gave more than $4,000 to the Shiloh community. When thev desired to return to Stony Brook, they were obliged to send to their friends for car fare.

Later on, a few of tho followers of this hysterical cult opened a temple at 49 Maujer street, but they were soon turned out by the irate landlord, when he found out the true character of the sect. One of Sandford's extravagant ideas nas been to evangelize the world with the aid of a "fleet of ocean liners." The Coronet is the flagship of the fleet of two or three crazy vessels. It was bought from Louis Bossert. about Ave yearj ngo, and Is the Btanchest of them all. Tho "prophet" 1b Baid to fear that an effort will be made to declare him Insane If ho returns to Shiloh.

and to have an nounced his Intention to live permanently In the Holy Land, If he ever gets tnere. He is said to control property valued at more than $3,000,000, all ot wnicn ua heen donated bv his converts. Ail tne converts who are accepted as members of the band prove their allegiance by conveying all of their possessions to the r- TTo" strong oox oi tne nuiy vuvol nuu organization. The income on at per ceut. fnr the four mnnihs that the Rev.

Sand ford has been lazily navigating the southern Pacific Ocean would amount to 000. And during all that time he nas been safe from Interruption, with no wireless messages disturbing his reveries with tales of slumps in the stock market. Ho now arrives at the South African diamond fields with thirty disciples who gladly work for him without pay. Cecil Rhodes started with less and so did John D- Rockefeller. THEODORE BINGHAM HURT.

Theodore Bingham, 33 years old, a driver of 186 Oakland street, In company with James Wilson of the same address, a'ttempted to board a car of the Cross-town line at North Tenth street and Urlggs avenue, last night. Tho motor-man Kranz. of 126 Ingraham street, failed to bring the car to a full stop. Wilson managed to obtain a good foothold, but Bingham fell and was thrown violently to the pavement. He received a severe laceration of the scalp, but after being attended by Dr.

Welton of the Williamsburg Hospital was able to go home. FREED FROM MURDER CHARGE. Antonio Cincoita. who runs a saloon at the corner of Degraw and Columbia streets, was discharged this morning at the Butler street court, upon the charge of killiDg Giuseppe Genaro of 176 Van Brunt street. Unable to find any evidence that Cincotta was responsible for the crime, which was committed on the morning of March 24 at the side door of Cincotta's saloon, Magistrate Tighe dismissed the case.

Some Other Police Changes Made Late Yesterday. Inspector John H. Russell, formerly of tne urst District in Manhattan, took charge of the office of Borough Inspector of Police in Brooklyn this moring and met a few friends who congratulated him, and to whom he Baid he would try to do his duty by the people of Brooklyn, because he was a resident of this borough and also because he had tried to do his duty everywhere. He seemed rather proud to announce that he was a resident of Brooklyn and boasted a bit about it, saying that he had been living in Borough Park for two years, where he could have a verandah and the other good, things that go with plenty of space about the house. Mr.

Russell used to be a Manhattanite, but he was extolling the fresh air of Borough Park more, indeed, than he was worrying about his new Job. Russell has been what Is known as a "white haired boy" with the present administration. He has been that with many other administrations, for he is a wise person and knows a good friend and a powerful one when he sees him. And he is one of the most amiable of men, with much head behind his ears, as the saying goes. During many administrations of the police department he has been known to the men higher up as "John" and "Johnnie," and that about tells the story.

Uppish! Not a bit of it. He Is not very tall, but he has much rlvnnmle fnrfa anri he Is a calculator of unquestioned ability. ii au commissioner ot police wants a new platoon system "doped out," Mr. Russell can supply him at short notice. There is a belief that he is the man who made the present Ave platoon system, as ne nas made others, for he Is a mathematician and can tell In 1909 just where a policeman, If he behaves himself, will be in 1925 provided there' Is no change in the patrol methods- It is said, too, that he can figure out to a dot the chancs a man has for promotion, if he Is given all the conditions.

He has been promoted a good deal himself In the past few years. Mr. Russell 1b- short In statue, with a busy, alert way with him, and he knows a lot about police business and the tricks of the trade. The general impression is that he comes to his home district as the head of the uniformed force with a desire to give Brooklyn the best police service he can. He said as much this morning and the authority tor tne statement seemed to be good.

Long-Delayed Plan Carried Out. The tip waB that Russell would have come to Brooklyn long ago, but Commissioner Bingham sent Sohmittberger here first instead. Then; when it became known that General Bingham had decided in his own mind that Miles O'Reilly was something of a back number and when he demanded from the old inspector the letter asking fof retirement to the peace of an inspection district, there was a thought in the minds of those who be lieved they knew, that the successor of O'Reilly would either be Herlihy or Russell. It was known that Bingham intended to make Herlihy an Inspeotor in spite of his past record and the Eagle so stated over a week ago. But it would not have been wise to Send Herlihy over here and there were murmurings of discontent over the suggestion before the changes were made.

So Russell was sent and Hurlihy was placed In charge of the most important of all the districts in Manhattan, the First. Russell is a close friend of Dan Slattery, the commission er's secretary, and he is also a friend of other important people who have been in service in high up places In the police department. So it is not too much to say that he has plenty of influential pull. And be is not above saying that he will like the job of borough inspector, i- Miles O'Reilly moved out of the State street headquarters as soon as he heard of the changes. As the Eagle told several days ago, be was sent to the "nih Inspection district, which takes in the precincts in the Eastern District, the One Hundred and One Hundred and Sixtieth, One Hundred and Sixty-first, One Hundred and Sixty-second, One Hundred and Sixty-third and the One Hundred and Sixty-fourth.

His new headquarters are at the office of the police of the Williamsburg bridge police. There the U. S. flag, which has been with him in all of his police wanderings was put In position this morning. It Is likely that he will be permitted to have his entire staff with bim and that Russell will have his staff, too, when the' transfers can be made.

That will all be settled to-day for Commissioner Bingham takes a two weeks vacation beginning to-morrow. Other Changes of Yesterday; There were other changes made yesterday; the reduction of two men who had been inspectors and the promotion of three captains to inspectorships; the appointment of some captains, the pro motion of sergeants to lieutenants and the preparation for promotions of men from patrolmen to sergeants. Of the In spectors the new men are John D. Herlihy, John Daly and John F. Linden.

The latter had been captain in charge of the Bureau of Repairs and Supplies. As Inspector he will remain there in charge. Herlihy was rent to the First District and Daly to the Fifth District. The inspectors who were reduced were Patrick Corcoran and James E. Dillon.

Why they were "demoted" is not known, except It may be that they had not 'made good" or that the commissioner wanted to do some smashing. The drafts from the eligible list for promotion to captains resulted in the promotion of only one Brooklyn man. and he is regarded as a good one James Gillespie for the Brownsville station. But a lot of good men were passed over Lieutenant Samuel MeElroy. who was at the top of the list; George E.

Harrington, one of the old time officials, who were always considered honest and safe; Frank J. Con-boy, now in command of the Herbert street station, and Edward Burns, all Brooklyn men. Captain Gillespie was sent to the station at East Slxty-sev- cnth street, The lieutenants who have been acting as captains in the Coney Island precinct and In the Fifth avenue precinct were also promoted to captaincies and were left where they had been. Lieutenant Farr, who was placed in command of the Butler street station only a few days ago when the general shift was made, was lifted out and sent to Parkville and a new man. Joseph J.

Savage, waB sent to take charge of Butler street. The promotions and transfers were a3 follows: These lieutenants were made captains and assigned to the following stations: Thomas H. Murphy, acting captain of the Fifth avenue station, Brooklyn, remains at station; Thomas Palmer, acting captain of Coney Island' station, remains there; Dominick Henry, acting captain of Mercer street station, remains there; John Barnes, acting captain of Rockaway Beach station, remains there; William F. Day, school of Instruction, remains there; Detective Lieutenant Michael J. Galvin sent to Elizabeth street station; James Gillespie of Brownsville.

Brooklyn, sent to command -In East Sixty-seventh street, Manhattan; William A. Coleman, acting captain Bridge Station Williamsburg Bridge, remains there. Captain John J. McNally of the Elizabeth street Btatlon, is transferred to City Island. The sergpants promoted to the rank of lieutenant are Henry A.

A two story frame building at Tenth avenue and Forty-ninth street, South Brooklyn, was burned to the ground last night, and the neighbors say it was due to a lack of water. The building was a long, more or less ramshackle structure, which had at one time been used as a dairy, and lately as a storehouse. It was "owned by John Hughes, the proprietor of kennels, across the street. His attention was called to the fire by thn barking of his dogs. It Is believed that the fire was started by some boyB.

One engine company from New Utrecht avenue, a mile away, was unable to get more than an inch of water from the hydrants when It arrived on the scene. Another engine which arrived later was but little better off and the flames could not be checked until the building was gutted. Thri the water pressure suddenly increased. The pollc." set the damage to the old building at $300. It was insured.

Man Arrested for Theft Escaped Punishment and Cot Gift of Money. WIFE AND CHILDREN STARVING Joyce Stole to Believe Their Sufferings Man He Robbed Becomes a His Benefactor. Moved to pity by the destitute con ditlon of the prisoner's family, Jewltt M. Brown, a Flushing carpenter, in the Magistrate's Court at Long Island City, this morning, not only withdrew a charge of burglary, but contributed a sum of money for the relief of the man who had robbed him. The prisoner was James Joyce of 249 West Seventeenth street, Manhattan.

It was on Saturday of last week that Mrs. Brown saw a man go into the tool house of hr husband, on. Fifteenth Btreet, Flushing. Brown Is a carpenter, and has stored in the house a number of valuable tools. Mrs.

-Brown summoned aid, and' the man who had entered the house was caught upon his exit, and taken to the Flushing police station, where he was arraigned before Magistrate Here he gave his name as Thomas Jones. Upon further questioning, however, he said that his name was James Joyce, and that he lived at 249 West Seventeenth street, Manhattan. He said that he bad been moved to burglary because of the destitute condition of his family. He said that he had six children, and that there had been nothing to eat for them for several days. He described himself as a laborer, unable to obtain work.

Magistrate Fitch, movtd by the man's story, sent a probation officer to investigate the case. The officer went to tho address In Manhattan. In a single room he found living Joyce's wife and six children, the oldest of whom is 11 years old, and the youngest a little more than a year. There was not a stick of furni ture in the room. The children, haggard and wan for lack of food, cried from time to time, and the mother was wor ried because of the absence of her husband.

Everything told a pitiable tale of absolute poverty. We have not bad a Are for many days. said the woman, "and the food we have had has scarcely been enough to keen us alive. The worst of it all Is that we have got notice to leave, and we have no place to go." As she spoke she showed a dispossess warrant to the officer, wtiich would deprive her and her children of the right to have even the mean shelter of the squalid tenement room. Her children, she said, were, Joseph, aged 11; James, 10; Mary, Annie, Margaret, 8, arid Helen, 16 months.

The probation officer provided money enough to relieve their immediate wants, and went to see the landlord of the tenement. He found him In the person of E. LeBloude, of 231 West Seventeenth street. LeBlonde said that he was forced to institute proceedings of dlspossessal, as he had no rent for a long time. However, he agreed to let the family remain for a few days until something could be done for them.

The thereupon returned to Long Island City and reported to Magistrate Fitch. This morning Mr. and Mrs. Brown came to court to press the charge ot burglary against Joyce. So touched was the car penter by the tale of the officer, how ever, that he not only withdrew tho charge, but put his hand In his pocket and pulled out a roll of bills, which he gave over for the relief of the distressed prisoner's family.

He promised to give more when that was used up, and until the prisoner would be able to find em ployment. District Attorney Dewltt, who was in the court room, said that the man was sincere in his desire to obtain work, and that he would try to get bim a sit uation. TO KILL MOTHER AND SELF Woman Sought to Buy Revolver and Bullets. Pawnbroker Told Detectives What She Had Said to Him Mrs. Ellis Had Pistol.

Detectives Conway and Reif of the headquarters squad were in a pawnshop on upper Fulton street, looking for stolen property yesterday when the pawnbroker took them aside and told them that a well dressed woman, who looked like a widow, had Just been in trying to buy a revolver and bullets. Tbe broker was quite sure that she meant to commit suicide and that she intended to kill hec mother as well. The detectives became interested and the woman was duly described to them as a person about SI years old. "She was very particular about telling me what she wanted the gun for," said the pawnbroker. "She said that her mother, who is over 80, she told me, had been scolding her and that she had no further use for life.

She wanted the revolver to take home to kill her mother with and also to end her own life, for, she said, she had nothing more to live for. She told me that she had a plot in the Evergreens Cemetery and that she was quite ready to meet her Maker. I did not sell her a revolver. I thought that would be a sin. So 1 said I had no revolvers to sell and she went out.

She Just disappeared as you two came in." The detectives were worried for fear that the woman would do something desperate and so they hurried off with all speed to try to trace her. The broker told the men In which direction she had gone and they followed. -They had walked as far as the corner of Fulton and Downing streets when they saw a person who answered the description of the woman walking along the street. They stopped her and searched her outer garmnts right there in the street. And they found that she had a brand new revolver with her.

She told them that she was tired of life, but she denied that she had ever intended to harm anyone with the revolver or that sh contemplated suicide at all. She also denied that she had been at any pawnbroker's place. The detectives arrested her on a charge of carrying concealed weapons, but she did not stay long locked up, for a friend went bail for her without delay. The revolver was confiscated by the police, though. The woman described herself as Louise Ellis, aged 61 yearB, of 771 Bergen street.

She Is the wife of a policeman, Robert E. Ellis, divorced from him some time ago, and drawing a part of his pay. This morning before Magistrate Dooley she denied the charge of carrying concealed weapons, and also the charge that she had contemplated death In any form. The hearing in the case was postponed until to-morrow and the woman was re-i leased on the same ball she bad given before. WESTON NEAR GOSHEN, iND.

Charges He Beat Her, and She Fired at Him in Self-Defejise.

Julia Byrnes, 28 years old, of 610 Third avenue, was arraigned in the Butler street court this morning before Magistrate Tighe and held in $300 ball for examination on April 16, on the charge of felonious assault. Julia, who has been separated from her husband, Leo Byrnes, for over two years, is the mother of five-year-old child, and lives with her mother. She was arrested by Officers Mc-Clunn and Carney of the Hamilton avenue station about 11 o'clock last night, on the complaint of Robert Sweeney, 28 years old, of 162 Walcott street. Sweeney charges that Julia came Into the cafe at 383 Van Brunt Btreet, where ho works, about noon yesterday, and, without any cause, shot at him five times with a revolver. None of the shots, how ever, took effect, and Sweeney escaped witn a torn overcoat.

In the Butler street court this morning Julia said that she had been lending Sweeney money for some time past, and the debt now amounts to $500. She got tne money from a railroad, on an acci dent suit. When she had asked him for some of her money, she said, he beat her.

Justice Cocks Has Wife's Dying Statement There Were No Witnesses to Murder and Suicide. (Special to the Eagle.) Glen Cove, L. April 14 There was no inquiry Into the Dayton tragedy at the justice's court last evening. In answer to an inquiry as to when one would be held, Judge Cocks said that he had not quito decided as to what course would take In the matter. No end is to be gained, apparently, by holding an extended inquiry, as no one really knows anything of the tragedy and there is nothing to be learned beyond the signed statement which Dayton made when she realized that she was dying.

According to that statement, which Justice Cocks has, Mr. and Mrs. Dayton had retired on Thursday night about 9:30, and had had no disagreement of any kind. Some time during the night when, she has no idea Mrs. Dayton was awakened by the shot which entered her side just under her lung.

As soon as she could gather her thoughts together, she said to Mr. Dayton, "Oh, Charlie, why did you do that?" "Because I think we had better die together," Dayton answered. These were the last words he spoke, taking his own life Immediately afterward. Mrs. Dayton made a supreme effort and crawled over her husband and knocked on the floor for assistance.

Then she fell unconscious across the body of her husband, and was found by Mrs. Sleigh, who had heard her knocking and hastened to the room which the couple were occupying. The statement does not say that Dayton had been drinking, but it Is understood that Mrs. Dayton told Dr. Zabriskie that he had, and that she got him upstairs and to bed without letting any of the family see hlra.

This is probably all that will be known about the tragedy. It is understood that the doctor said that he could have re moved the bullet, which had passed through Mrs. Dayton'B body and lodged In her back, but that pneumonia set in. and that there was no possibility of aavlng her life, owing to her weak and enfeebled condition and the shock she bad sustained.

Nevada. EAGLE CALENDAR JUGGLED Officer in Flatbush Court Find3 31st of April, Just as He Found March 17 in Bed Letters Magistrate Steers' Joke. One day last month, Peter Dalton, the court officer' in' the Flatbush court had reason to consult, the Eagle calendar, the official register of days and months In the Flatbush court, and he was dum- founded to observe that March 17 was designated as a holiday. It was printed, seemingly in red figures which are used in the Eagle calendar to denote holidays. Peter Dalton remarked after discovering that the three calendars In the court room were the same, that the Legislature had given Ireland freedom by making St.

Patrick's Day a holiday. Magistrate Voorhees, who was sitting, threw out a broad hint, however, that it was the annual custom to observe March 17 in the Flatbush court and he insinuated that Judge Steers was somewhat of an artist. A new phase to the art of trimming dates from parts of a calendar and replacing to fool the susceptible, was fur- nlshed in the Flatbush court again today, when the space following April 30 was filled In with a 31. Everyone knows that April has but thirty days. There Is a beautiful little rhyme to set them straight.

Perer Dalton, however, got his rhyme mixed up to-day. The court officer who was born in Limerick and has poetic tendencies wai puzzled when he had occasion to hunt up a' date In April. He saw April 31 staring him in the face, and at once began to scratch his head. "Is that right?" he asked Charles Weber, the comnlaint clerk. "I guess sor if it's said Weber.

Dalton was puzzled. "I'm not an Irishman unless I learn the truth Of this. My rhyme doesn't make that calendar right." he said. "Tho rhyme my mother taught me said 'thirty days hath September, April, June and November." Henry Langsmlth, the German Interpreter, suggested that maybe because tlva Is leap year April has thirty-one days. "Bcgolly that's right," said Dalton, sometimes called the "Barrister." "Let me go over that rhyme and I may straighten this out: Thirty duys hath Stomher, April, June end November; All the rest have thirty-one Except in year, onca in four, When April has one day more.

"I see my mlstage now," said Dalton, "and once more the Eagle is correct. I take my hat off to the Eagle." Magistratu Steers Inside in his room with Chief Clerk Hunter was having the laugh of his life. Steers really is an artist with scissors and brush. APPOINTED. BY CARR.

SUBWAY LEAGUE. Law Committee Reports on General Tracy's Findings Plans for Mass Meeting Advanced. An enthusiastic meeting of the execu tive committee of the Fourth Avenue Subway League was held Monday evening at Fifty-sixth street and Fifth ave nue, John E. Sullivan presiding. A resolution was unanimously adopted heartily Indorsing the bill introduced In the Legislature by Senator Travis, amending the Rapid Transit Act in accordance with the Ideas of the Public Service Commis sion, and that the members of the Legislature be urged to give favorable consideration to the same.

Alonzo McLoughlln, senior counsel for the Fourth Avenue Subway League, rendered a report in the matter of the Tracy Debt Limit Report. He firmly believed that Judge Blanchard would accept tho report and deny the Injunction asked for. He stated that without a doubt the matter would be carried to the Court of Appeals. He outlined the work already done by his associates and himself on the law committee of the league and expressed much satisfaction as to the outcome of the proceedings 'as shown by the report rendered by Referee Tracy. Upon motion a vote of thanks was extended to Mr.

McLaughlin and his associates on the law committee for the earnestness and efficiency of their efforts in behalf of the league. Upon motion a committee of five- was appointed to consider the -advisability of holding a mass meeting at as early a date as possible and to enlist the sympathy of the various civic bodies of the borough in tms movement. The chair appointed E. J. McLoughlln, D.

Meyer, A. Fischlowlta, E. Edwards aad William A. Doyle. Upon motion the law committee of the league was instructed to take whatever action their judgment may dictate to further the interests of the league in tho matter of the Fourth avenue subway.

J. J. O'Leary, president of the West End Board of Trade, was present, and expressed his views on the Lee-Travis amendment. He told of the various meetings that have been held, both in Manhattan and Brooklyn, arousing sentiment in favor. the passage of this bill, and further stated that, were It not for; these meetings showing the sentiment of the public, the bill would hp.ve been killed.

The committee adjourned to meet subject to the call of the chair. Corporation Counsel Asked to Have Injunction Dissolved. The Fourth Avenue Subway League today sent to the members of the select committee of the Board of Estimate which has the subway matter under consideration a letter requesting the committee to instruct the corporation counsel to begin an action looking to tho dissolution of the Levey injunction. It was pointed out that inasmuch as the debt limit has been definitely fixed at $150,000,000, there is no longer need of hesitation on the financial score. The league requests that an immediate meeting of the Board of Estimate's committee be held and that the corporation counsel be instructed to start at once the motion to vacate the Injunction which is preventing the members of the Board of Estimate in favor of the subway from voting for the release of the contracts.

The letter Is signed by the executive committee of the Fourth Avenue Subway League and is addressed to President McGowan, Controller Metz and Borough Presidents Ahearn and Coler, who compose the select committee. QUEENS-NASSAU PRESBYTERY. Bev. Dr. S.
