Name of Physician Given by Distracted Parent, Who Says Daughter Is a Good, Girl. Mrs. Sophia Dailey, a widow living at 1113 DeKalb avenue, has asked the police to aid In locating her 17-year-old daughter. Grace C. Dailey, who mysteriously disappeared Wednesday during the noon hour.

The girl was employed in a Broadway department store a few blocks from her home and left there about 12 o'clock to get. her as usual. Mrs. Dailey was out when her daughter reached home, but the girl's grand mother sat with her at the table. Grace left her grandmother saying she was going back to the store.

When the girl did not return home at night Mrs; Dailey went to 'the department store only to Icarn that she had Grace C. Dailey, Who Mysteriously Disappeared During the Noon Hour, Wednesday. not been seen there since 12 o'clock. The distressed mother searched for her missing daughter through the night and dually reached the Ralph avenue police about 2 o'clock yesterday morning, and was directed to the Vernon avenue station, where she related her story. Mother Believes Physician Knows Where Girl Is.

Mrs. Dailey was almost prostrated when seen at her home. She had a very interesting story to tell about the missing girl. She said she believed the girl was in the company of a physician, whom she named, and who lives little more than a mile from the Dailey home. A strange man had come yesterday and told her he had seen her missing daughter in the company of a man on Throop avenue Wednesday afternoon.

Mrs. Dlley 'said her daughter was a member of the Sunday school of Calvary P. E. Church, Bushwick avenue, near Grove street, and that last summer she was named as a delegate to attend a convention in Washington, D. C.

Mrs. Dailey said she believed Grace had attended this convention until a short time before her disappearance when she had told her that while she was supposed to be at the convention she was in the home of the physician. Mrs. Dailey produced a postal card which she had received during the convention period and this bore the name of the physician she named She also produced another card dated a few days later signed with the name of a prominent uptown professional man, and told how much Grace was enjoying her outing. Both cards were mailed in Brooklyn, and at Station Broadway, near Greene avenue.

Both were in pencil and In the same handwriting. Miss Dailey Not Romantic, Says Mother. When the woman's attention was called to these facts she remarked that she had noted this and believed the physician had written both in order to deceive her. The writing appeared to be that, of some much younger person than the one mentioned by the mother. Asked if Grace was not of a romantic turn of mind and might not have enjoyed practicing a joke, Mrs.

Dailey said she' wa3 certain she i had not done anything of 'this kind. Grace, she said, was too good a girl to have deceived her. Iflany deceit had been practiced, the mother, said, she was certain, it was by a person older than her daughter, and one who was interested in keeping her away from home. MILITIA BOARDS DETAILS.

Behind the brief cable messages from Haytl to-day. outlining the final chapter of the career of the gunboat La Llberte, which sank off Port do Palx last October, after she hud been wrecked by fire and explosion, lies an absorbing story, the first chapters of which were written In Brooklyn. La Llberte, which was destined to become the proud flagship of the black republic's navy, was originally an English built, sea-going pleasure craft, plying peacefully about local waters as the properly of Albert E. Tower. She was purchased by Haytl, converted Into a gunboat at Tebo's shipyard, foot of Twenty-third street, South Brooklyn, and taken down to Haytl by Wallace H.

Downey, general manager of the Tebo Yacht Basin Company, after unusual ceremonies, when the Stars and Stripes at. her mast-head gave way to the flag of the island republic. La Llberte's end was one of the most tragic in the chronicles of the sea. Seventy persons were either killed or drowned out of the ninety persons who wero on board when she was blown up. The admiral of the fleet and ten Haytian generals who were on their way to take command of the several divisions of troops in the Department of the North were among those who perished.

Despatches arriving here to-day. from Haytl, state that twenty-three officers, non-commissioned officers and sailors, survivors, have been tried by a military tribunal, found guilty of burning the boat, and of massacre. They have all been condemned to death. The Eil King Armored and Equipped at Tebo's. It was in the fall of 1909 that Hayti pur chased the Erl King and turned her over to the Tebo Company to be changed from a vessel of pleasure Into a craft of war.

Her costly teakwood rails were covered with galvanized iron sheeting, the wooden bulwarks armored with 32-iiound steel plates, magazines placed In the lower hold and frowning guns Installed. When the metamorphosis was complete a formidable object she was, with her battery of two slx-pounders, two three-pounden, two one-pounders and two automatic Colt guns. On October 27, 1909, she was christened at the yard, her sponsor being Mme. San-non, wife of H. Paulens Sannon, mlrlster plenipotentiary of the republic cf Haytl.

Minister Sannon was on hand and made an address and among those prerent was Admiral Simson, probably the very man who perished in the disaster; Chief Engineer Taylor and Harbor Master of Port au Prince. "It was on October 30 I sailed with the gunboat for Hayti," said Mr. Downey today. "That was the most. Interesting 1 ever took In my life.

We made the republic In six days, arriving at Port au Prince on November 4. I then delivered the boat, to President Simon. The president of the republic admired her greatly. Haytian President and Cabinet the Guest of Brooklyn Man. "I invited the President and his cabinet to dine aboard.

They did, and the next day they Inspected their new naval acquisition. Salutes were fired and we had a great time all 'round. The President (islcpd me to take La Liberie to Aucayes, which was his home city. I took her to Aucayes and the palace band and the palace guard came aboard. Again there were christening ceremonies attended bv the government officials, while the bishop of the department, erected an altar on the ship and presided over the religious ceremonies, assisted hy his entire staff.

Then I took the vessel back to Port au Prince, where I remained a week. "There was no warfare in the republic at that, time, but the President was a southern man and not In favor with the people of the north. In Haytl the people of the south and the people of the north are opposing factions." With La Liberte in commission. Hayti's navy numbered eight vessels. The rest were converted fruiters, except the yacht of the President, the Nord Alexis PINCH0T ON NEW LEAGUE.

Says Movement Is a Revolt of Independents Against Wealthy Men and Political Machines. New Haven, January 28 After an address before the Yale City Government Club last evening, Gifford Finchot was tendered a reception, during which he spoke on the objects of the Republican Progressive League. He said in brief that the movement was a revolt of independent men against wealthy men and political machines. In his lecture on "Conservation" Mr. Pinchot said that the political struggle in the country is between men who believe in government for tre human welfare and the men who believe in government for personal profit.

He predicted that the advance already begun In forest conservation would soon' embrace many other problems. DIED. SANGUNITTO On Thursday, January 26, 1911, SARAH, beloved wife of James J. Sangunltto, Sr. Friends and relatives are invited to attend funeral from her late residence.

Rosen, aged 24, of 230 Jackson street, were arrested this forenoon in the Adams street court on a charge of having swindled Samuel Davidson of 1424 Wilkin avenue. In the Bronx, out of $1,000 In cash. Piluso and Rosen are, respectively, the president and secretary of tht American and Foreign Cork Company, which had its factory on Van Brunt street up to a few months ago, when they moved to Cltffslde, N. J. They advertised, for a business partner with $1,000 to Invest.

Davidson, a painter, who was looking for a business opportunity and who had $1,000, journeyed over to Brooklyn and found the cork works and Messrs. Piluso and. Rosen. They explained that they needed money to invest in modern machinery. Davidson claims Rosen said to him: "I want a Jew in the business, because I am a Jew and all the rest of the people in the shop are Italians.

I would like to have another Jew to help me on the inside." Davidson had his wife and a lawyer of his own to look over the place, and he finally paid his money in a certifle'd check drawn on the Bronx Borough Bank. The eheck was put to the firm's account in a local financial concern and the day after Labor Day, which was September 5, Piluso. and Rosen, Davidson claims, began drawing the cash out. Davidson wa3 to get $20 a week for his inside services, but he found out, he says, that the representations made to him by the two principals concerning the credit of the company and Its assets were not true. It is alleged that the company owed many debts, had a chattel mortgage on the office safe and had borrowed the typewriter.

The factory was moved to New Jersey and the business is now in the hands of a receiver. Davidson got seven salary checks in all, and one of them, he says, was drawn on a barren account. After the factory had moved to New Jersey, according to his complaint, he found that he was not welcome there, for he had been kicking for the return of his money. One day one of the partners said to him. according to a sworn statement he makes: "If you dare to come in that shop you will never go out alive.

I will get these Itnlians after you." The lawyer, Max Mandlebaum, declined to permit his clients lo plead to the charge and said he would bring proceedings In a higher court to get them out. "They are both highly respectable men," said he. "Both live in Brooklyn and have the confidence a'nd respect of many people. (Their arrest 13 an outrage, for there is no evidence of fraud. Mr.

Davidson simply made a bad business investment." "I think." said Assistant District Attorney White, "that this man was swindled out of his money. I have other evidence in the case which I am not prepared to present how, but the mere fact of this concern moving to Jersey and going into liquidation would seem to suggest that there was Bomethlng wrong." Magistrate Kempner held (lie accused in $3,000 bail each for a hearing on January 31. The bail was promptly KILLED BY BURSTING PIPE Foreman in B. R. T.

Power House Struck by Metal. Three Assistants, Scalded by Steam, Barely Escape With Their Lives. As the result, of the ex-plosion of a big steam pipe in the basement of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit powerhouse, at Division and Kent avenues, at 7 o'clock last night, one man was killed and three others were injured. The dead man was Chmio; Johnson, day foreman, of 261 Forty- eighth street. He was struck on the Jaw by a piece of jagged metal and rendered helpless.

Three workmen who were assisting Johnson at. the time fled when the explosion took place. They were all in jured, but not dangerously. Part of the duty of Johnson and nis men was to see that the large steam pipes, many of which are suspended from the ceiling of the basement In the powerhouse, were in good order. Last night, about 7 o'clock, a leak In one of the largest of these pipes was reported to Johnson, and, summoning the three help ers, he mounted a ladder to investigate.

He had hardly started when there was a loud report and Johnson was seen to totter for a moment and then the escaping steam blotted him from the view of his men. With the explosion the three men rushed to the side of the foreman, only to be met and driven back by the blistering steam. The workmen, nearly mad dened by pain, made frantic efforts to escape, and ran against the hot walls of the boilers. Their hands, already badly scalded, were burned by this wall of heat. Their cries for help were heard by the other workmen on' the floor above.

A rescue crew was formed. Half way down the ladder they were met by the blinding, choking vapors and driven back. A few fought on, but even the most courageous were finally forced to seek safety for themselves. Finally the three assistants of Johnson dragged themselves to the foot of tho ladder und were carried, half dead, to the air. When the steam was shut off the men found Johnson's body with his face crushed and his flesh almost parboiled.

An ambulance had been summoned from the Eastern District Hospital by Patrolman Rourke of the Clymer street station. In the opinion of Dr. Gustav, Johnson had been killed instantly. The three assistants were treated at the powerhouse. HORSE KLTe1)7mANESCAPES.

Train Strikes Wagon at a Jamaica Crossing Driver Only a Little Hurt. Edward Borne, a driver In the employ of Samuel Stiles, a Jamaica mason and builder, had an almost miraculous escape from death on Thursday morning at the Division street crossing of the Iing Island Railroad. Jamaica, It has just been learned. A horse and wagon that he was driving was struck by an cast-bound Green port express. The horse was killed, the wagon was demolished and tho driver was only slightly Injured.

It is charged that tho gateman at the crossing lowered the gates whllo Borne was still on the tracks. Borne says he owes his life to the fact that he was standing In (he back of the wagon and was not sitting on the driver's seal. He was thrown out. but escaped with a severe shaking-up and a Jew cuts and bruises. He walked to Mary's where he received treatment, and then went to bis bom.

HITS VAUDEVILLE HOUSES. Brooklyn Proprietor Says That Association Will Appeal Front the Decision. Fire Commissioner Waldo issued an order yesterday which threw the theatrical managers In Brooklyn into a state of consternation when it was served upon them last night. The order, which applies to the entire city, will prevent the sale of admission tickets in the future unless the purchasers is given a seat. The famous old sign, "Standing Room Only," is destined to become a thing of the past.

In the future, under the new order, nobody will be allowed to stand durlne performance, and the managers will have no other alternative but to restrict tho attendance to tho seating capacity of the house. Commissioner Waldo did not act arbitrarily in issuing the order. He is simply carrying out. the law as laid down by a decision of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court, which was rendered in the early part of last month. The text of Commissioner Waldo's order Is as follows: "Chief Edward F.

Croker, in charge Bureau of Violations and Auxiliary Fire Appliances. "Sir You attention is Invited to 3 decision of the New York Supreme Court. Appellate Term, October, 1910. handed down January 4th. 1911, in the case of the Fire Commissioner vs.

Manager of Tlw Dewey Theater, which covers tho question of standees in all theaters. Very respectfully, (Signed) WALDO, "Fire Commissioner. "Under this decision the presence of any. standees In the aisles or passageways of any theater Is a violation of law." Some of the Brooklyn theatrical managers, when they realized the full meaning of the edict, were Indignant. The matter, Percy G.

Williams of the Orpheum Theater said, will undoubtedly be taken up by the Theatrical Managers Association. Mr. Williams had no grievance to express against Commissioner Waldo. He said that the commissioner was undoubtedly carrying out the law, but an effort will be made by the managers to appeal from the decision upon which Mr. Waldo bases his order.

Admission to a theater at a nominal price, with the privilege of standing in the back of the parquette has always been a popular thing with thousands of theatergoers who could not afford a seat. But the hack of the parquette Is a passageway, as expressed in the fire commissioner's order. The theaters will have to eliminate "admission tickets." There is. another feature to the enforcement of the new order which the managers say should not be overlooked. Often there are weeks when the attraction playing does not fill the house.

"But then again." said Edward Trail, the manager of the Montauk Theater, "some popular attraction comes along where every night in the week seats cannot be purchased for love or money. Why should we turn away and disappoint people who cannot secure seats by refusing them admission?" The Montauk Theater, except In an Instance as described above, Mr. Trail said, will not be very much affected. But Mr. Trail said he believed that the enforcement of the order -would put some of the smaller theaters out of business.

"Without criticising the Fire Commissioner," said Percy G. Williams, "1 think the order Is very unfair. Take the Orpheum. for Instance. In the back of the balcony we have a promenade so people can walk around.

Down stairs In the parquette we have a 1.6-foot foyer, you could hardly call that a passageway. "Vaudeville houses are different from other theaters. People like to get up and walk around. "Then again there are many men who have an hour or two to spare and they will buy an admisison ticket to see a few acts. They want to stand so that they can leave without disturbing others.

"The new order." concluded Mr. Williams, "If It Is strictly enforced will put many of the smaller vaudeville houses out of business." Leo Teller, the manager of the Broadway Theater, contended that the space back of the parquette Is the foyer of the theater and could not be construed as a passageway. L. J. Rpdriguez, manager of the Shu-bert Theater, also said that tho new order would not only work a great hardship upon the theaters, but tho public as well.

He used the same argument that Mr. Trail did. The last order issued by the Fire Department regarding the foyer of the parquette of a theater permitted standing room for people four rows deep. The new order apparently abrogates this. The managers have no complaint about the new order as far as it relates to aisles.

The statement was -made to-day that there is a decision by the Court of Appeals which is just contrary to the decision handed down by the Appellate Division In the Dewey Theater case.
