USED A SMALL PIECE OF TWINE WAs Charged With Killing Wife Near North Beach on June 21. Had Been Morose. Evading the strict watch that had been kept upon him to prevent him from taking his life Alexander Rodkonsky, a prisoner in the Queens County jail, accused of having murdered his wife, Annie, in a lonely bypath leading to North Beach, took his life early Sunday morning.

Using a small piece of twine had been used to tie up a bundle that was sent to his cell, he twisted it first around his neck, then fastened an end just over the cell door. He to an iron bar stood on the iron cot in his cell to tie the string to the bar and then stepped off. feet came to within a few inches of His the cell floor. He hung there for at least ten minutes and death resulted from strangulation. Charles Vetter and John.

Leonard, the 4. night keepers of the jail, morning. passed He Rodon- was sky's cell at 2:30 in the then apparently sleeping soundly on his cot. Fifteen minutes later, when they passed the cell and looked in they were startled to see the man's body hanging just inside the door. They quickly opened the door, cut the body down and laid it out in the cell corridor.

They then elephoned to Dr. Clarence M. Platt, the jail physician, and Dr. McMahon of St. John's Hospital.

They arrived in a short time and made every effort possible to restore the man, but without avail. Coroner Ambler, who was notified, gave permission for the removal of the body to Trudden's morgue, and therei remained until it was claimed by relatives. It was on June 22 last that the body of a woman, with her throat cut and a terrible gash in her abdomen, was found in the bushes alongside the footpath that led from Walcott avenue in the Steinway section of Long Island City to North Beach. It was plain that murder had been committed, and the woman was finally identified as Mrs. Annie Rodkonsky, wife of Alexander Rodkonsky, who lived at 704 Ninth avenue, Stelnway.

The identification was made by the woman's stepson, who said that two nights before his father and mother had gone for a walk and that his father had returned later, saying that he had lost his mother while they were at North Beach. The police started to hunt for the husband, but while the search was on Rodkonsky came into the Hunters Point police station to inquire if his wife had been found. He said that he had been to Staten Island, looking for her among her relatives, He was locked up in the station house and was later held for the grand jury on the charge of murder. The detectives and the police found much damaging evidence against him and they were sure that he had committed the deed. From the time he reached the jail until about five days ago he was in solitary confinement in murderers row.

Then the keepers noticed that he was becoming morose. He complained particularly because no one came to visit him. Warden Henry Sleth, who was told of the man's mental condition, went to his cell last Wednesday and talked with him. He told the warden that he wished he was dead. He said also that he worried a great deal about his two little sons who, since his confinement, had no one to take care of them, and as no one came to see him he did not know what was happening to them.

Warden Sleth considered thati was about time to put Rodkonsky under special guard to prevent him taking his life. He was accordingly moved down to the proximity of the other prisoners and everything by which he could take his life, it was thought, was taken away from him, The orders were that he and his cell should be examined on every round of the keepers. This rule was obeyed, but the man succeeded in getting the little piece of string and that was sufficient to strangle him. YOUNG PORTO RICAN CLEVER Mingled Freely With Passenggers on Board the Caracas. Not Discovered Until Purser Checked Up His Passengers- Allowed to Go on Arrival.

The Red Line's steamship Caracas, which arrived this morning at Pier 11, Pierrepont's Stores, from Porto Cabello, Laguayra, Curacao and San Juan, P. brought 108 passengers, mostly Porto Ricans. The Caracas brought a young Porto Rican stowaway, who worked an Ingenious game to reach New York. The day the ship left San Juan the pier and ship were crowded with passengers, and Captain Furst ordered the vessel to be carefuly searched for stowaways after the gangway had been hauled in and be before the lines were cast off. None was found on board.

Next day, when the purser was checking off the names he came across a name that had already been checked off. The alleged bearer of it was a stowaway who had mingled with the second cabin passengers freely up to that time. He was promptly hustled down to the fo'k'sle, where he was confined, When Captain Furst reported the matter to Superintendent John T. Dallos on the arrival of the ship, the latter was much inclined to think that, as the lad had shown 90 much ingenuity in securing a free passage to America, he is sufficiently Americanized to be allowed to go ashore. Of course, he can be locked up and returned on the ship to San Juan, but there is no penalty on the ship if he does escape, and he probably will be allowed to get away.

On the other hand, there has been 80 much trouble with stowaways from Porto Rico that taking a lenient view of this case is regarded as being an encouragement to others to try the same, or some other game to reach the states. The Caracas ran into a dense fog at 3:30 yesterday afternoon, and as the water around Sandy Hook was full of tows Captain Furst determined to take no chances and anchored for the night outside the Hook, The New York and Porto Rico Line's steamship Ponce arrived this morning from San Juan, and also was befogged. She brought fifty passengers, many of them students for educational establishments here, and a general cargo of Porto Rican products. REPORT OF CITIZENS UNION.

The Ninetieth Regiment, New York Volunteers, held its twentieth reunion and shore dinner at Van Houton's Cafe, Canarsie, on Saturday last. About thirty survivors and their wives were at the table.

After dinner they enjoyed vaudeville and moving picture performance. BRINGS BACK MANY GIFTS General Woodford Belongs to Order of the Crown. Breakfasted With Kaiser and Dined With Queen Wilhelmina at Hague, Laden with gifts which royalty in Europe bestowed upon him, but minus the medals which he carried over for the Hudson- Fulton commission to bestow upon royalty, General Stewart L. Woodford, Brooklyn, returned to the pEe city yesterday on the Holland-American liner Rotterdam. Mrs.

Woodford accompanied him. Gen. Woodford returns with the Order of the Crown, first class, which was given him by Kaiser Wilhelm. He also has an autograph photograph of the Queen of Holland and many other gifts by which to remember his trip. General and Mrs.

Woodford took with them their automobile, and in the many months that they were abroad they motored all over Europe. They went away before Christmas of last year. "I have been studying great men and their manner of running governments," stated Gen. Woodford. "I dined with Queen Wilhelmina at the Hague; had breakfast witih the Kaiser at Berlin; went to the opera in Paris with President Fallieres; had a special reception at the hands of King George of England; and paid a most pleasant visit to King Victor Emmanuel of Gen.

Woodford celebrated his seventyfifth birthday on Saturday aboard ship. He was accorded a reception and dinner and was the recipient of many congratulations. NEW LOTS FESTIVAL. Board of Trade Members Hold Garden Party Many Attend. For the first time in many years the members of the New Lots Board of Trade dropped work and on Saturday held a garden festival and dance.

The affair was held in Schneider's Garden, at more avenue and Hendrix street. The festival began in the afternoon, when whole familles began to arrive, a dozen at a time. Jacob Hessel, who has been president of the board ever since it was organized, headed the procession with Mrs. Hessel, on the march to Schneider's. President Hessel and Isador Jena, who is one of the leading members of the board and whose son Julius is secretary, saw to it that the children were entertained.

The committee also provided a great many handsome prizes, which were drawn for by the women and children. HIPPODROME REOPENED. The Biggest Show Yet Has Niagara and an Earthquake. At the opening of the New York Hippodrome on Saturday night a throng that filled every available seat in Messrs. Shuberts' huge playhouse was more than satisfied with the latest spectacular production by the Shuberts, which began at o'clock, and with only a let -up for scene shifting, lasted almost to the midnight hour.

It was almost too much for the money. It was the most daring effort of the career of Stage Director Burnside, aided and abetted by Arthur Voegtlin, the Hippodrome's scenic artist, and Manuel Klein, the musical director. To describe the production in its entirety is impossible. From the dropping of the big curtain o'n the opening scene, one of eight, illustrating "The International Oup," to the concluding one, showing the Temple of the Moon in "The Valley of Gold," the finale of "The Earthquake," the great audience was kept entranced with the riot of color, pretty dancers in rhythmic motion, or astounded by the reality of the scenic effects. The falls at Niagara, shown in the second tableau of "The Ballet of Niagara," was sure proof of the cleverness of modern stagecraft at realism and brought out a burst of applause.

In both the fourth and fifth scenes of "The Earthquake" the tank was used with Its usual effectiveness, and another feature of the many worth special mention was the race between a fullgrown locomotive and men on horses. This may be taken as a hint of a few of the many spectacular features of this biggest of all the productions given since the Hippodrome opened. K. OF H. CONVENTION.

August Simons, Ill and Unable to Work, Cuts His Wrist and Inhales Gas.

By inhaling illuminating gas and cutting his throat with a razor, August Simons committed suicide early this morning, his Afty-fourth birthday, in his rooms at 233 East Seventy-seventh street, Manhattan. The man not only tied a gas tube to the let and to his mouth, but he also placed a rubber sheet on the bed and a basin on the floor 80 that bed clothing would not be soiled from the gash in his wrist. Continued ill health was the cause of Simons' act. He was a painter, and for the last three years had been a sufferer of painter's colic. He had not worked in, two years.

PRATT SCHOOL OF ART BADLY DAMAGED BY FIRE Watchman Discovered Assembly Room Switchboard in Flames. MAY DELAY SCHOOL OPENING. Damage Estimated at Between 000 and Will Soon Hold Meeting. The opening of the School of Fine and Applied Arts of Pratt Institute, scheduled for September 26, will probably be delayed because of the fire in the main building on Ryerson street, near DeKalb avenue, the flames practically destroying the third and fourth floors, which have been used by the art students, who comprise the second largest department, of the institute. Only one the trustees of the institute are in the city.

and it cannot definitely be announced what the plans for the opening date will be until a meeting can be called. Telegraph wires were kept busy getting In touch with the absent trustees and trying to make arrangements for an early meeting. In meantime those offers who are in the city are busily engaged in clearing Away the debris and trying to ascertain just what the actual damage amounts to. The enrollment of the institute for the coming year is close to 4,000, and there is little chance to crowd more than a portion of the art department into other divisions. The fire damage is roughly estimated by C.

P. Burtis of the business staff at between $50,000 and $60,000, covered in full by insurance, so far as actual monetary loss is concerned, though there are many art treasures which cannot be replaced, and which are hard to value. The Are started about 6 o'clock yesterday morning and the first notice of it was when John Brennan, day watchman, went to the basement to relieve Daniel Douglass, who cares for the building in the night. As the two were talking an automatic fire alarm sounded, and both rushed to the assembly room on the second floor and found smoke issuing from a switchbox in the rear of the stage. Each taking hand fire extinguishers, an effort was made to extingish the fire, but it was beyoug their control, and they then sounded a call for the city fire apparatus.

Before they could return and get to where the fire started the blaze had mounted to the third floor, which is occupied by the School of Applied Arts, and they were unable to ascend the stairs. Upon the arrival of Battalion Chief Graham with the first engines, it was found that the fire was a serious one. and a third call for more apparatus was sent in, to which Deputy Chief Lally responded. The close atmosphere did not allow the smoke to rise from the building, and the firemen had great difficulty to enter the stairways or the fire escapes on the north side of the building, the pall of smoke being so dense that it was almost impossible to remain near the hose nozzles more than a few minutes at a time, the men working in relays. Another difficulty was to locate just where the worst part of the fire was and to direct the men there.

It was but a few minutes after the firemen arrived that they found that the flames had again gone upward and that almost the entire fourth floor was ablaze. Working their way upward on the stairways where there was the least smoke the firemen finally succeeded in getting several lines of hose directed on the blaze and with the water tower pouring water from several engines they finally succeeded in getting the fire under sufficient control to allow the men to get right at the seat of the blaze, after which it was but a short time before it WAs under control. Many of the firemen were overcome by the smoke and had tO be assisted to where they could get fresh air, but only one, Philip Zimmer, of Engine Comany No. 119, lost consciousness. Zimmer had been assisting in trying to save some of the art treasures with others had made several trips to the third floor.

He was nearly suffocated when he returned from one of his trips, and was not to heed the warning. Shortly after some firemen stumbled over his body on the stairway. and carried him to the street in an unconscious condition. An i ambulance from the Cumberland Street Hospital took him in charge, and after restoratives were applied at the hospital it was found that he was not in a dangerous condition, and war able to return to his quarters this morning. The damage wars mostly confined to the third and fourth floors and on the norts side of the building.

Superintendent of Buildings William Mantell was summoned from his country home and took charge of the active operations of cleaning up the building. C. P. Burtis, at the head of the general executive department, took up the task of acquainting the trustees with the situation, and getting the insurance policies and the inventories of the contents in shape for an adjustment of the property loss. "It will be impossible to make any statement of the exact loss further than that It will be somewhere between $50.000 and $60,000," said Mr.

Burtis to an Eagle reporter this morning. "It is also impossible to say just what of our most valuable objects of art have been lost until we have a chance to get the debris cleared up. Just what were our most valuable possessions in the part of the building where the fire was the worst is also impossible for me to say. Walter Scott Perry, who is the director of the School of Fine and Applied Arts, is the one who knows more of the contents of that part of the building than anybody, and he 1s at his summer home up north. "As to when we will be able to open the art department I cannot say until the trustees get together.

Our institute is running to its full capacity, and it will be hard to crowd the art school, even temporarily, into the other departments. We may be able to take care of some branches by crowding the School of Science and Technology, but even with that we cannot take care of more than a small part of those who were to start 00 September 26. Whether we will engage temporary quarters until the repairs can be completed, or whether we will postpone the opening of the term, except for the few we can accommodate, is a question which will probably be settled in a few days. From the examination I have made It looks to me as though the old quarters will not be in shape for occupancy until about the first of the year." Several of the students in the art department who do not live in Brooklyn, but who have returned to their homes to be ready for the opening, were at the Institute this morning to find when they can settle down to their studles. A number of them had left part of their belongings in the studios of the art department and were anxious to And if they had been saved.

One student, whose name is Parsons, breathed a sigh of relief when he found that his trunk and a box of sketches he had made during the summer and shipped to the institute were safe in the basement, but he wag considerably perturbed about the safety of two of his paintings and his studio togs, which had been left in one of the rooms on the fourth floor.

Miss Ethel Smith Could Not Swim Very Well and Was Carried Off by Tide. An outing of four members of the Four-Leaf Clover Boat Club Canarsie came to an exciting end in Jamaica Bay yesterday, when one of the four, Miss Ethel Smith, of East Eighty-ninth street, near Smith's lane, came near drowining, while the other three were having a swimming race. Miss Smith's companions were William Seymour, Harold Myers and Miss Helen Miller. They were in their bathing suits when they left the shore in Seymour's boat, Rein. Miss Smith was not as expert a swimmer as the other three, and she remained clinging to the boat when the others began the race.

When they had gone she let go and swam and floated with the tide until she became too exhausted to get back to the boat. She managed to reach a rowboat nearby. When the others returned to the Rein Miss Smith was not in sight. They cruised around for some time before they came within hearing of Miss Smith's voice, As the Rein came up the girl let go her hold and sank. Meyers dived overboard and soon came up with Miss Smith struggling in his arms.

With the help of Seymour the two climbed on the Rein and Miss Smith was taken ashore at Canarsie, where she was attended by an ambulance from St. Mary's Hospital and left in the care of her friends. OBITUARY The Rev. William Twiddy. The Rev.

It was just as well that the was a holiday, Mr.

Edwards was really in. no shape appearance before for a mixed audience in the court, and there were few women present. The arraignment of Gus, who says he is but fifteen years old, was the sequel to one of the most thrilling burglary episodes that has been brought to the attention of the 90- lice in many a day. Young Mr. Edwards is fresh of complexion and while garbed, when he was caught, in the finery of a young woman he made a very fair picture of one.

The lad is self-composed-so much so, under harassing conditions, that the magistrate did not think he was sane and so sent him to the Kings County Hospital for observation. The boy gave his address as at Broadway and Eigthty-sixth street, Manhattan, but the police have not been able to And his people. He also told the police that he had in Chicago and that he had been actor. Detective McKirdy, of the local headquarters staff, has an impression that he is simply a bad boy. His activities this morning began at about 5 o'clock in the bakeshop of Mrs.

Lena Grimm, at 134 Buffalo avenue. This is near the corner of St. Mark's avenue, on the block which is almost entirely occupied by St. Mary's Hospital. Gus got into the bakery by sliding down the coal chute.

Then he broke into the living rooms of the shop and made free with the contents of bureau drawers. The alarm clock which awakens family started while he was doing the rifling, and, as he himself confesses, it startled him quite a good and he ran out without stealing anything. He went next door, to Mrs. Catherine Scalley's home, at 136 Buffalo avenue, and he secured easy entrance through the rear window on the lower floor. First, he abandoned his own clothing.

The garments that Miss Cullinan wore, a visitor overnight, from West Forty-fuorth street, Manhattan, were lying on chairs about a room adjoning where Miss Cullinan was sleeping. Gus then robed himself in the feminine outfit. Before he went away he picked up a diamond ring and a suit case. He put nothing in the case. Somebody must have stirred before he had finished, for he made a quick flight from the rooms before he could collect any more valuables, and there were plenty around.

He went out of the front door into the street, and just at that minute Misses Anna and Mamie Grimm, who had been awakened by the alarm clock and by an unusual noise, were looking out of the window of their room next door. They saw the queer figure leaving Mrs. Scalley's house, and they thought the stranger with the suit case must be a burglar. They screamed, and they got their brother out of bed with their outcries. He hastily started in pursuit of the stranger.

Thomas McCarthy, stepson of Mrs. Scalley, had also been aroused, and he started off after the stranger, who was wearing the visitor's clothing. The race was brief, for Gus was encumbered by skirts and odd garments, and he could not run, although he went with long strides. He abandoned the suit case in his flight, and he kept running until he was almost in front of the big door leading to St. Mary's Hospital, where he was grabbed by Grimm and McCarthy.

They held him until Patrolman Jayne, of the Atlantic avenue police station, came up, and then the burglar was arrested. At the station he was forced to take off most of his garments, and he was allowed to retain the pumps, the tan stockings and the nightgown, but a sack coat was found for him and 80 he was taken to the Gates avenue court. The police took charge, after a while, of the clothing he had stolen, and the diamond ring, and they were held as evidence. FIFTEEN IN WESTERN RACE.
