3: THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW YORK. THURSDAY. JUNE 1. 1911.

BUREAU IS STRIPPED BY WALDO He Issues an Order Similar to That of Bingham in First Reform. EIGHT OFFICERS TAKEN OUT. Very Small Force Left at Local Headquarters Bureau, and Records May Go to Manhattan. There is a general impression at local headquarters to-day that Commissioner Waldo made his Arst blow at Brooklyn autonomy last night when, through an order sent out by Chief Inspector Schmittberger, he "ripped out" the Brooklyn Bureau of Information. Commissioner Bingham did the same thing when he took charge of Brooklyn, and raised a row around his head that resuited, the Commissioner took charge, re-establishment of the aftethe bureau as it had been in the old Brooklyn days.

The order for the transfers of the men who did the work in the bureau came to Brooklyn from chief inspector's office, "by or order of Commissioner," thine and by telephone shortly after 7 o'clock last night. There had been a premonitory feeling of trouble in the all day, for on his visit to local headquarters yesterday forenoon Mr. Waldo bad intimated that he wanted some of the places The transfers made out of the bureau are as follows: Lieutenant James M. Walsh, sent to the Bergen street station. Lieutenant Daniel S.

Munday, to the East One Hundred and Twenty-sixth street station. Lieutenant David McMahon, to the Herbert street station. Patrolman Joseph A. Cook, to the East New York station. Patrolman William Seaver, to the Ham-1 burg avenue station.

Patrolman John H. Waring, to the Fort Hamilton avenue station. Patrolman George H. Griffin, to the Bedford avenue station. Patrolman Joseph H.

Rosner, to the Hamburg avenue station. Patrolman John M. Smith, to the Clymer street station. Patrolman David McClunn, to the Fifth avenue station. Four Men Left in Charge of "Skeleton" Bureau.

Under the new order of things there are to be but four men in the Bureau of Information in Brooklyn and it will be simply a skeleton bureau at best. 'Lieutenant Julius Peterson is left in charge and he is to have three sergeants to help him, namely, Ernest Walden, who has been in the bureau a long time, and Sergeants Mark J. Glynn, of the Flushing avenue station, and Daniel Lehane, the Butler street station. Glynn and Lehane have been for some time temporarily assigned to the bureau. Last night their engagement was made permanent.

The history of the Brooklyn Bureau of Police Information has been more or less checkered. Under the old Brooklyn system, when the town had a police force of its own, the public was always able to get information at first hand. On consolidation with the borough across the river, the records were moved to Manhattan and the experiment was made 1.0 have but one general source of information. But this was found to be awkward and a bureau was re -established in Brooklyn, where all local records of importance were kept, and where the records of Brooklyn arrests were filed away In duplicate. The purpose of this was to have a place where the people of Brooklyn could get first hand information concerning accidents, missing people, lost property and a very great variety of things that folk want to know about.

One day General Bingham, having sent his Brooklyn deputy, Baker. off on a vacation, visited Brooklyn headquarters with another deputy, Mr. Bugher. He told Mr. Bugher to "rip" out the Brooklyn bureau of information, and this was done.

The office force was scattered throughout the borough and all of the records were carted away to Manhattan and put in the cellar storeroom of old headquarters on Mulberry street. If people in Brooklyn wanted specific information about anything they had to go to Mulberry street. The theory of Bingham was that duplication of the records was bad. But records in triplicate were sent daily to Manhattan. The action of Bingham, in abolishing the bureau of infornation in Brooklyn, called forth bitter condemnation and criticism from the public and when William F.

Baker was made commissioner the first thing he did (was to re- establish the bureau with all of its old records and more that were up to date. From that time until to-day the information bureau of the local police headquarters proved to be a great convenience to the public. One Man on Duty to Do All Bureau Work. There 1s still an information bureau, with one man on duty. The three sergeants will have their day divided into three parts and each will have eight hours on duty.

He will have to answer all telephone messages, but there will be 110 card record system, probably, because one man cannot do the work required. The records may be carted over to Manhattan again. The office of the bureau was removed, in its attenuated form, to a. small room on the first floor of the State, street building. That will information be handier for callers than an bureau on the fourth floor.

REIDT, NOT SCHMALZREIDT. Chauffeur, by Court's Permission; Shortens His Name. Gottlieb E. Schmalzreidt, of 344 Cornelia street, has been struggling with his name for a number of years. He is a chauffeur, and a good one, and it has been a pecuniary disadvantage to him to have that name.

He says so himself, and what he says about it is on file to-day with the county clerk. County Judge Fawcett to-day permitted him to change Hereafter he will be George E. Reidt, the part of his last name having been dropped. In his petition to have his name changed Schmalzreidt says that it has been inconvenient and a disadvantage, beside being decidedly unpronounceable to the run of folk he meets. For that reason he has been using the name of Reidt for some years and he wishes to be legally authorized to continue using it.

Judge Fawcett promptly signed the papers. ILL IN A HOSPITAL. Sea Cliff Man Stricken at Middleton, N. Y. Cliff, L.

Hopefulness that a general jotrike might be averted was expressed. OBITUARY The Rev. Warren C. Hubbard. for Rev.

(Special to The Eagle.) Albany, June 1-- When Governor Dix's vetoing the Atlantic avenue 5 message cent fare bill was read in the Senate to-day, Senator O'Brien head it laid on the table. He then made -speech by a unanimous consent, attacking the claim of the Public Service Commission to jurisdiction in the matter and stated that a "great injustice had been 'done to Brooklyn." Senator O'Brien had a conference. with the Governor this morning which seemed to' anger him greatly. He did not mince matters in his speech on the floor, and riduculed the idea that the Public Service Commission had sole jurisdiction over the rate on the Long Island Railroad. He said he had a letter from Attorney Coleman.

of the Commission which practically conceded the propriety of his bill. Yesterday, however, he stated he had heard from the counsel to the Governor that Public Service Commissioner Edward M. Bassett told the counsel over the telephone that the commission considers it has jurisdiction over the reasonableness of the rates. Senator O'Brien ridiculed the "opinion by and it is probable that he will attempt to have the bill passed over the Governor's veto. Senator Grady backed up Senator O'Brien and denounced the Public Service Commission.

Grady said the city would be better off it the commission had never been organized because it was merely an engine of delay, O'Brien's action caused the postnonement of the passage of the Mur augh bill to abolish the state highway commission, which is favored by Governor Dix. The Murtaugh is considered 40. important by the Democrats that the Senators held a caucus on it last night and decided to make It a party measure and pass it to-day. Senator Murtaugh bad prepared red hot speech: on the highway commission and the efforts being made to. retain the commissioners in office, and the Democrats had counted 26 sure votes for the bill.

When O'Brien learned of the Governor's veto of his bill he made a speech attacking the veto message and then balked at having to vote for the Governor's plan to abolish the highways commission. This was an entirely unexpected setback for the Democratic leaders who had done everything in their power to scrape up the necessary 36 votes for the passage of the bill. The whole matter was then halted, Just as the debate on the bill was about to begin, and it was set over until next Tuesday. Senator O'Brien will' not state that he will vote against the Governor's pet measure, but he says that he has promised nobody that he will vote for it. REFEREES APPOINTED.

REDUCES WOOL DUTIES ONE-HALF TO TWO-THIRDS Raw Wool 20 Per Cent. Ad Valorem in Bill Presented to Caucus. BITTER FIGHT AGAINST BRYAN.

Controversy. Over Wool Almost Swal. lowed Up in Effort to Rebuke Nebraskan for Interference. Eagle Bureau, 608 Fourteenth Street. Washington, June 1-At the Democratic caucus.

to-day the wool tariff bill, preby the Ways and Means Committee of the House was presented. It makes reductions of from one-half to two-thirds in all wool duties. Raw wool itself, which WAs free In previous Democratic tariff bills, is given A duty of 20 per cent. ad valorem, equivalent to from 3 to 5 cents a pound. The new duties, together with the present duties as figured an ad valorem basis by Chairman Underwood are 88 follows: Raw wool-Proposed duty, 20 per existing duty, 44.31 per cent.

Noils, waste, shoddies, -Proposed duty, 20 per existing duty, 88.96 per cent. Combed wool or tops- Proposed duty, 28 per existing duty, 105.19 per cent. Yarns' made wholly or in part of wool- Proposed duty, 30 per existing duty, 82.88 per cent. Cloths, knit fabrios and all manufactures of wool-P'roposed duty, 40 per' existing duty, 97.11 per cent.

Women's 95.57 per and cent. children's dress goods and similar goods--Proposed duty, 45 per existing duty, 102.85 per cent. Ready made clothing and articles wearing apparel-Proposed duty 45 per existing duty, 81.31 per cent. Braids, ribbons, insertions, laces, embroideries, nettings and like articles wholly or in part made of wool--Proposed duty 85 per existing duty, 87.06 per cent.

Velvet tapestry carpets, printed on the warp or otherwise-Proposed duty 35 per existing duty 62.46 per cent. Tapestry Brussels carpets, printed on the warp or otherwise--Proposed duty 80 per existing duty 84.41 per cent. Treble-ingrain, three ply and all chain Venetian carpets--Proposed duty 30 per existing duty 64.34 per cent.

Dutch and two play ingrain duty 25 per existing duty 62.50 per cent. Oriental rugs, proposed duty 30 per existing duty, 60.57 per cent.

Carpets not otherwise, provided for. of wool, fax or mats, matting and rugs of cotton, proposed duty 25 per existing duty, 49.98 per cent.

The bill states: "Whenever in this act the word 'wool' is used in connection with A manufactured article of which It 1s a component material, it shall be held to include wool or hair of the sheep, camel, goat, alpaca or other like animal, whether manufactured by the woolen, worsted, felt or any other Ad Valorem Duties All Through. As has been forecasted, the proposed new wool schedule provides for ad valorem duties all through. It is much shorter and simpler than the present schedule. According to the estimates of revenue prepared under it, It will' only reduce the government's income from wool duties by $1,348,349 as compared with the duties collected last year under the present tariff act. This is a much smaller reduction than was generally expected.

On raw wool the new bill places an ad valorem duty of twenty per cent. and rpon manufactured wool an average ad valorem rate' of forty-two and a halt per cent. The Democrats are counting upon a big increase in imports to make up the difference. They have cut the present duties in half. They expect to lose $7.730,728 in revenue on raw wool and to gain $6,382,180 in duties on manufactures of wool per year.

They figure that while the United States imported wool of both kinds to a total value of $70,744,750 last year, under their proposed schedule there will be imported $130,822,000, or nearly double the amount. Fight Over Wool Turned Into Bryan Contest. The Democratic fight over the wool schedule has been turned into fight for and against the attempt of William J. Bryan to dominate the majority in the House of Representatives. The wool controversy swallowed up in the new issues.

The anti- Bryan men, led by Chairman Underwood of the Ways and Means Committee, are confident that today's caucus will serve notice Bryan, once and for all. that he cannot dictate the policy of the Democrats in the House. It will take two-third vote to make the wool schedule placed before the caucus to-day a party measure. Underwood feels sure of the two-thirds. He was not sure of it until Bryan injected himself into the situation by a demand for free raw wool.

Bryan has made votes for Underwood and for the revenue tariff policy. He has angered many Democrats who would have followed their convictions. on the wool tariff and voted to make raw wool free. A lot of these men are now expected to line up with Underwood. as a rebuke to the Nebraskan.

This is declared to be true of the New York delegation. About two weeks ago the twenty -two Democrats from New York, after an informal caucus, found themselves to be eighteen to four for free wool. But they did not bind themselves to vote as a unit. Mr. Underwood has received assurances which lead him to believe that he will get more than four votes from New York for his bill.

Every vote he gains will represent a protest against Bryan. Bryan Has Interfered Once Too Often The sentiment among a majority of the House Democrats is that Bryan has interfered once too often. He has been attempting to get his hands on the steering wheel ever since the House organized and a feeling of resentment has been steadily growing. The men who have been piloting the party thus far in making a record on which to see votes in 1912 say that it is better to beat Bryan now than wait until the convention. He has been honored with three nominations, they declare, and has brought the party to disaster every time.

They want him to keep his hands off and allow the party at A time when its prospects are brighter than they have been in years, to use its own best judgment and make its own platform. They have no confidence in his judgment. The Bryan men in the House are makIng their fight to-day on the declaration that free raw wool is one of the party's of belief and that it must be tenets true to its record. They disclaim that It must be done for Bryan's sake. But this does not cloud the issue for a moment.

Underwood and his followers are making an anti- -Bryan fight of it and they have done enough canvassing to make them feel sure of a victory. Only one draft of a wool schedule was laid before the caucus. The free raw wool contingent will make their fight by offering amendments to it. Amendments be carried by a majority vote, but it may the bill is to be a party measure it will take two-thirds. The anti- Bryanites have sot.

their teeth now and resolved that it shall be. a party measure, declaring that Bryan himself has forced the issue. AT EAGLE PARIS BUREAU. Eagle Bureau, Ralph C. Dewey of Brooklyn, James Stevenson of Manhattan and Mrs.

Bryan replied that it was altogether too early to make any predictions as to who would be the Democratic candidate for President. "The attitude of Congress may change the entire situation between now and the time to select the man," he said. In his speech to -night he said he will refer to the controversy over the wool schedule, "the effort of Minority Leader Martin in the Senate to form an alliance between the Lorimer Democrats and the Lorimer Republicans to defeat the La Follette resolution, and the action of the Supreme Court in amending antitrust law for the benefit. of the trusts." DELAWARE LEAVES THE YARD Battleship Moves to Tompkinsville, Ready to Sail for the Coronation. Amid the booming of big guns, the new Dreadnought Delaware left, the Navy Yard this afternoon for Tompkinsville, where she will remain until Saturday, before sailing for England to represent the American Navy at the of King George.

Rear Admiral Vreeland arrived this morning from Washington. When he boarded the big ship his large red insignia was run up. He had a busy morning in the yard making his final preparations. Admiral Leutze, commandant of the Navy Yard, made a trip from his offce to the ship and wished Admiral Vreeland and Captain Gove all manner of good fortune. The morning was a very busy one for the Jackies.

They were all up at 5 o'clock this morning. The bluejackets who were on shore leave could be seen running through the yard all forenoon afraid they might miss the trip abroad. Even when the ship was out in the East River two sailors came running frantically down the pier with dress suit cases to catch the vessel, but she was on her way. They were told by an officer that they would be put on board her to at Tompkinsville. It was a beautiful sight as the big ship churned the water and steamed out into the East River.

Up to the last minute before she sailed provisions were taken aboard. On the pier when she pulled out were mothers, sisters and sweethearts, waving good-by to their boys. From the time the engines began to move the ship's band played "'The Star Spangled which could be heard until the ship swung out of the Yard. $30,000 FOR THE BANDS.
