TIRING OF POSTPONEMENTS. Wintry Wind Tore Up Surf Avenue Last Night and Sent the Visitors to Shelter Attractions Open. Coney Island tried its level best last night to make out that it was summer time. It was a hard job, considering that a wintry wind was tearing up Surf avenue and blowing in cross currents up all the side streets. However, the island was determined to have summer, and the make-believe was almost the real thing.

Yesterday was advertised as the real opening of Coney Island. No doubt, next' Saturday will be advertised in the same way. Certainly, yesterday was not much of an opening day. There were few new shows in any part of the island. Several big shows in Luna Park that were advertised to open yesterday failed to get ready in time.

Thousands of people went down to see the Igorots, those charming, naked head hunters from the mountain fastnesses of the Philippines, but the copperskinned attractions didn't put themselves on exhibition. Perhaps it was the fault of the weather man. The Igorots insist upon their own ideas in the costuming line, and they scorn all clothes save a breech cloth. Last night wasn't a pleasant night at the beach for people without clothes. The Dragon's Gorge, another of big amusements.

not ready as advertised. This show will open in a few days. The fall of Port Arthur, which takes the place occupied last year by the Streets of India. was another delinquent. However, it won't be long before the people can see how the japs took the Russian stronghold.

Creation, where th ewhole universe, including Adam and Eve, is to be created every few minutes throughout the day, is still undergoing creation itself. The gorgeously uniformed major generals of Dreamland promised solemnly last night that Creation would open this evening. There was trouble, also, with the Flea Circus. Maybe the fleas have gone on strike; anyway, they weren't working yesterday. The Midget City was going, as well as fire show.

Hunting in the Ozarks was full of sportsmen killing wild game and hunting bears just like the President hunted them out West. The twenty-four ounce baby that arrived at the Dreamland infant incubators Friday was still alive yesterday, and seemed to be thriving. The little chap 1S working mighty hard to live, just as hard as if he knew he was the son of wealthy parents who will give him $500.000 when he gets of age. The press agent declares the fortune story is no joke, and that the tiny infant is really half at millionaire, although he len't more than one-seventh of a full-sized baby. The crowds kept away from the ocean front last night and got in the protected places as much as possible.

Dreamland plaza, that Is so popular in the hot summer time, was practically deserted, but the more inclosed park across the way was crowded. NEW SECRETARY OF LEGATION. Washington, May 20-Paul Grand d'Hautville, of Newport, R. has been appointed secretary of the American legation at the Netherlands and Luxemburg.

Yacht Took Seven Days to Navigate From Bay Shore to Brooklyn. STORM -DRIVEN AND FOG-BOUND. Captain Alonzo Bland and Mrs. Pilkington Were Passengers and Crew. Incidents of the Trip.

Wet, hungry and tired out Captain Alonzo Bland and Mrs. Mary Pilkington, both of, Bay Shore, L. climbed out of the yacht Violet to a pier in Marine Basin at 6 o'clock night. A week ago yesterday they sailed from Bay Shore for Brooklyn expecting to land here the same day. Since then they have been storm driven and fog bound along Long Island coast.

They concluded their nautical experience yesterday with an eight hour battle against wind and wave in a desperate and finally successful effort to get around Sea Gate Point and landed the Violet Brooklyn in accordance with Bland's promise to Walter B. Brown, the owner of the 'boat. The skipper and his fair companion are both expert sailors or they wouldn't be here yet. They took long chances and their boat was nearly swamped dozen times. As far as Mrs.

Pilkington is concerned the trip was to have been a little vacation. Skipper Bland called on her a week ago Seturday and told about having been commissioned to take the Violet to Brooklyn. Up this spring the boat has been the property of Eugene V. Brewster, a Brooklyn lawyer. Several 1 months ago he sold her to Walter B.

Brown, secretary of the Brooklyn Transportation Reform League. After having her overhauled, Mr. Brown wanted her brought to Brooklyn and got Mr. Bland to undertake the job. Bland thought he saw a good chance to afford his friend, Mrs.

Pilkington, who is a hard-working woman, a bit of a vacation and offered to take her along on the cruise. It being a long time since she has had a off, Mrs. Pilkington was willing. She asked the neighbor to look after her four children and went aboard the Violet. Before starting the skipper notified Mr.

Brown that he could expect to see his yacht the same evening. When be reached the open he ran into nasty sea, where progress was slow. He tacked along back of a schooner to get out of the way of the big seas, but when the schooner had enough of it and lay to at Fire Island inlet, Saturday noon, he was glad enough to follow suit. On Sunday morning he started out again and that was the last seen or heard of the Violet and its passengers for three days. On Wednesday Mr.

Brown got a message from Wreck Lead, just inside of Long Beach, that the sloop was fog-bound at that place and likely to be stuck there for some time to come. He took a run down to Wreck Lead to look into the situation. He found that the fog was heavy and it looked as though railroad transportation would be needed to get the Violet to Brooklyn. Both Skipper Bland and Mrs. Pilkington had their sailor blood roused and they wouldn't give in.

"I'll fetch that sloop to Brooklyn by Saturday if I've got to sit astraddle of her keel and paddle her down," said Mr. Bland. Mrs. Pil-ington. while she wasn't getting just the sort of a vacation she had expected, was equally determined to stick it out.

Mr. Brown gave them provisions, wished them luck. and started back to Brooklyn. On Thursday morning the Violet was steered out of Wreck Lead harbor into the fog, but sailing was such a dangerous bustness that her two- handed crew was glad enough to find a safe anchorage at Deb's Inlet on the evening of that day. Here the Violet swung at her anchor for two days more, waiting for the heavy fogs to clear away.

But they didn't disappear, and Captain Bland was getting anxious lest he should fail to keep his promise. On Friday night he decided that, come what might, he would weigh anchor the next morning and head for Brooklyn. Mrs. Pilkington, too, was getting anxious about the children that had been left with the neighbors. In this she was justified, for the Eagle yesterday published a telegram from Bay Shore, expressing their anxiety and that of the notgabors as to the fate that had overtaken the Violet and its passengers.

They had not received notice that the yacht was fogbound. In the teeth of storm and fog the "Violet" was started on the final lap of her adventurous voyage early yesterday morning. There wae a nasty sea and the intermittent gusts of wind made it no easy matter to keep the sloop head on. Captain Bland hugged the shore and by taking advantage of the bays and inlets managed to evade the worst of the weather and make fairly good progress. He reached a point directly off Coney Island at noon yesterday and figured that the worst was over.

But in this he was mistaken. He had not yet rounded the point at Sea Gate and here trouble awaited him. Sea and wind were both against him and there was no chance to get away from them. Time and again he had nearly rounded the point on a series of short tacks, when a gust of wind drove him out of bis course and sent him back. Seas broke over the sloop every minute.

Mrs. Pilkington was kept busy at the pump. Sometimes she had to leave off for minute or two and hold the helm while Captain Bland trimmed sail. Then she had to work all the harder to get ahead of the water that had accumulated. There was no time to eat and the two went hungry all day.

Shortly before 6 o'clock last night the wind slackened down a bit, and the Violet was finally enabled to round the point and run into Marine Basin. Notice of her arrival was wired to her owner and to the anxious ones nt Bay Shore. Mr. Brown has his boat, Skipper Bland redeemed his promise. Mrs.

Mary Pilkerton'8 four children are joyously awaiting the return of their mamma and so the story has a happy ending. SUSTAINS DIRECTOR DAMROSCH. American Federation of Musicians Indorses His Importation of Three Foreigners. Detroit, May 20-at to-day's sessions of the American Federation of Musicians the report of the executive board, sustaining Director Walter Damrosch, of the New York Symphony Orchestra, in the case in which it was charged that he had imported three foreign musicians, was received and approved. President Weber of the federation was directed to go to New York at once and try to effect a satisfactory understanding between Director Damrosch and the New York locals.

By a practically unanimous vote the delegates voted to recommend the adoption of a universal uniform for all members of the federation. After an animated debate, in which it was stated that one band director had been known to make a contract for ninety-nine years, a rule was adopted prohibiting memberg of the federation from making contracts to run longer than one year. Long contracts, it was urged, virtually prevented the federation from having any control of the rates charged. The question of accepting the offer of the business men of Mattoon, of a 160 acre site for the erection of a home for aged musicians, was referred back to the local unions for a referendum vote. The referendum was alsc adopted for settling the question of a universal initiation fee.

This question was brought to the front again today in a resolution embodying the minority report of the committee on laws. The lution referred back to the union calls for a universal initiation fee of $5, unrestricted as to cards of transfer from one jurisdiction to another, WOMAN PILOTED RUNAWAY THROUGH CROWDED AVENUE Mrs. Tucker Held the Reins and Guided Frightened Horse Into Prospect Park. SHE AND MOTHER THROWN OUT. They Are Now in Seney Hospital-Mrs.

Salmon May Have Fractured Skull. Mrs. Tucker Has Broken Thigh. An exciting runaway accident occurred about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon in Prospect Park, which terminated in the two women occupants of the carriage being thrown to the ground and receiving serious injuries, which in the case of one may turn out fatally. Mrs.

E. M. Salmon, whose age is given as 77 years, of 285 street, was out driving on Eastern Hancock, with her daughMrs. William F. Tucker, 39 years old, of ter, the same address.

They were in a high fourwheeled trap drawn by a spirited horse. When a short distance beyond Washington avenue the animal became frightened and bolted, while Mrs. Tucker, who is said to did all in her power to have been driving, control it. The thoroughfare hereabouts descends in a rather steep grade to the main entrance to Prospect Park, and on Saturday afternoons especially is crowded with vehicles going in both directions. The horse plunged with his light draught down the hill and it was due to the ability and pluck of Mrs.

Tucker, who held courageously to the reins, trying to check the speeding animal, that a number of collisions were averted and other pleasure seekers saved from possible injury. Across the bicycle paths and Flatbush avenue, with almost incessant stream of vebicles and trolley cars, sped the animal, with the carriage behind swaying dangerously from side to side. Mrs. Salmon held tightly to the side of the seat and to her daughter, while Mrs. Tucker with blanched sawed and tugged at the reins, but set face without in the least checking the speed of the animal.

She was hardly able to avoid collisions, and make a safe entry into Prospect Park through the entrance. After entering the park Mrs. Tucker managed to guide the horse up the east drive, where there is less traffic from an opposite direction and where it was much easier collision. to pass other vehicles without fear of Ag Mrs. Tucker approached the first bridle road that turns off from the drive she endeavored to turn the runaway into it.

The horse, however, did not respond promptly to the reins, and the carriage crashed into a lamppost, throwing the occupants with frightful force to the ground. The frightened horse wrenched the wagon from the lamppost and continued his wild run along the driveway, with the wagon dragging at his heels. Patrolman Lawrence Tormey of the ProsPark station had witnessed a part of pect the runaway. He summoned an ambulance for the two women, who gave evidence of being badly injured. The horse was caught a short distance away, but by that time the wagon was a complete wreck.

Ambulance Surgeon Stanley, of the Seney Hospital found Mrs. Salmon suffering from shock and a possible fracture of the skull, while Mrs. Tucker was suffering also from shock and a fracture of the thigh. He removed them both to the hospital, where it was said at a late hour last night that both were doing as nicely as could be expected. The horse and the broken wagon were taken to the Prospect Park station by Patrolman Tormey.

OBITUARY. Charles M. Hogan. Charles Morton Hogan, general manager and secretary of the Siegel-Cooper Company's store, died yesterday afternoon at 3.20 o'clock, at his residence, 302 Central Park West, after an illness of one week, of erysipelas. He was 51 years of age and leaves a widow and one child, Miss Edith, 17 years of age.

The body will be taken to Camden, N. where the interment will occur on Tuesday morning. Mr. Hogan was one of the strongest forces in the business world of New York. His rapid rise from office boy to a position of responsibility and trust was due entirely to his own untiring efforts.

His sudden, though not entirely unexpected death, removes one of the most lovable characters in the great business establishment of which he formed so large a part. His friends--and he numbered them by the score--pay him the distinct tribute of being at once a brilliant man, thoughtful of others, capable in business, and a true friend. Mr. Hogan began his business career at the early age of 15 years, when he left his home at Burlington, N. and entered the employ of John Wanamaker, at Philadelphia, as office boy.

He gained recognition in a short time and was steadily promoted until he had filled every position to that of assistant general manager. Ten years ago he resigned to become general manager for Hilton, Hughes Co. It was only a year later that he assumed the management of the enormous enterprise of Siegel-Cooper. He reorganized the entire system of business and was responsible for every tail. His capacity for hard work seemed unlimited and he was known to labor far into the night in an effort to perfect and simplify the system.

A week ago it was realized that Mr. Hogan was a very sick man. The best medical science was procured and everything possible done to save his life. Dr. MeBaron had charge of the case, He called into consultation Drs.

Janeway and Lambert. Others were also called, but without avail, and yesterdas Mr. Hogan died, surrounded by his family and friends. George E. Kennedy.

The Bellevue Hospital reported the death yesterday afternoon of George E. Kennedy, 26 years old, a newspaper man, 20 West Thirty -second street, Manhattan, of cerebrospinal meningitis, Mr. Kennedy was a well known newspaper man in Manhattan and was until recently connected in an editorial capacity with the New York Times, being in charge of their down -town office. His home was in Springfield. and he came to New York about 8 years ago, starting in the newspaper business.

He worked for some years with the New York City News Association, and went from there to the Times, for whom he did police work in "The Tenderloin" and dramatic work. About two years ago, owing to overwork, he was stricken with almost total blindness and specialists barely saved his eyesight. Recently it was 80 much better that he resumed work. He leaves four sisters PLATE GLASS SPLINTERS FLEW. There was a lot of glass last night at Ninety -sixth street and Third avenue, Manhattan, it being strewn about the street by a collision between a Third avenue car, and 3 wagon loaded with glass, and not only was it all smashed, but several windows in the car were also broken.

John Kelly, of 144 West Seventh street, was driving an express wagon which was loaded with twenty large panes of plate glass. As the horse reached Third avenue, it bolted and started across in front of a northbound Third avenue car in charge of Motorman John Gearty, of 333 East Fortyfifth street. The latter was unable to stop the car and it crashed into the wagon. Glass flew in all directions and several windows in the cars were smashed. Passengers rushed to the rear platform and there was considerable excitement.

Kelly was thrown to the street and the horse was badly cut by the glass. After the accident about a dozen mien started to clean up the glass 1,0 prevent horses' hoofs being cut. GARDEN PARTY FOR CHARITY AT GOVERNORS ISLAND Army Relief Society to Raise for Soldiers' Widows Land SOCIETY WOMEN INTERESTED. Government Buildings to Be Decorated and Tents Erected for the Fete Next Thursday. The New York public will have an opportunity on Thursday of this week to demonstrate1 its sympathy with the work of caring for the dependent widows and orphans of officers and enlisted men of the regular army when the York branch of the Army Relief Society, composed of prominent men and women throughout the country, will give a garden party at Governor's Island for the purpose of establishing an emergency support of this commendable philanthropic enterprise.

The Army Relief Society has set for itself the task of raising a fund of $500,000 for the care of the widows and orphans of the officers and enlisted men of the United States army who have died in the country's service, The Spanish -American war opened the eyes of the philanthropically inclined American men and women to the destitute circumstances in which" the families of American soldiers who lost their lives fighting the country's battles were not to speak of the neglect which marked the treatment of some of the sick and wounded soldiers during the war. While the volunteers who went to the front were well cared for, by organized relief societies of the sections of the country from which they came, the soldiers of the regular army were left to shift for themselves. The Army Relief Society has filled the want in the lives of Uncle Sam's regular a warriors. The Army Relief Society not only looks out for the comfort of the officers and enlisted men in the regular service, but it also sees to it that the families of the men who are defending the flag in the Philippines and in the other possessions of the United States are provided for In their ahsence. When an officer or enlisted man dies and leaves his family in dependent circumstances, the society provides for the widow and educates or finds employment for the soldier's children.

Since its organization, the responsibilities of the society have naturally increased and the necessity of the creation of a permanent fund to carry on the work of the society has become urgent. Caring for the families of hundreds of American soldiers who have died while in service in Cuba, Porto Rico, China and the Philippines has reduced society's finances, as might be expected, it has been found necessary then to appeal to the American public for aid. The society has turned its attention to New York City, the supporter of all the great philanthropic movements that have enlisted the interest of the charitable men and women of the country, in the that the leading community of the Empire State will give generously to the cause in which the society is engaged. The patronesses of the garden parly to be given at Governors Island on next Thursday, from 2 to 6 P.M., are all well known society women, and society is expected to turn out largely in support of the affair. The government buildings on the island will be gayly decorated in honor of the casion and tents will be erected which will be presided over by well known society women, assisted by the wives and daughters of the army men stationed on the island.

General and Mrs. James F. Wade and General and Mrs. Frederick D. Grant have offered the society every facility that will go to make the garden party a successs.

Mrs. Daniel S. Lamont, wife of the former Secretary War, is president of the Army Relief Society. Mrs. Henry Bischoff is president of the New York branch; Mrs.

Francis M. Gibson, chairman of the entertainment committee, and Mrs. Fabius M. Clarke, chairman of the press committee. Among the honorary vice presidents of the society are: President Theodore Roosevelt, Elihu Root, General Louis Fitzgerald and General Charles F.

Roe. The trustees of the emergency fund are: Former Governor Levi P. Morton, Daniel J. Lamont and Cornelius N. Bliss.

The following women are honorary vice presidents: Mrs. Leonard Wood, Mrs. Henry C. Corbin, Mrs. Adna R.

CORNER OF FULTON HOYT STREETS, BROOKLYN. THE TRAIN DID NOT MOVE. L. I. R.

R. Conductor Refused to Take Orders From a Militia Officer, Who Was Impatient, (Special to the Eagle.) Jamiaca, L. May 20-A story is told of an occurrence at the Jamaica depot on Wednesday which at the time caused considerable comment. One of the metropolitan regiments was on its way Creedmoor in a special train for rifle practice. The usual stop was made at Jamaica to take on the Brooklyn members, and after they went aboard the train stood at the station for some time.

One of the official staff, reported to have been a colonel, went to the platform and asked what was the trouble. He was informed that they would proceed as soon as engine then taking water ahead of them moved out of the way. Time went on and the officer's patience became exhausted, and he went to the platform and in an excited tone ordered that the train move on The conductor merely smiled at him, and he then demanded again that the train proceed. He was asked as to his authority and he replied that in the name of the State of New York and as a military officer he ordered the train to be started. Some hot words ensued and he was given to understand that nothing but a call for active duty gave him a voice in transportation.

It was hard convince him of this, but he finally went to his seat and waited for the train to start. MAN DIES OF A HEMORRHAGE.
