has of of of to the place where the body was found, and at all times in the day there are many people about. At night there 1s not much stirring on that part of Sands street. The house is only a short distance from the Naval Y. M. C.

A. Building. The fact that sailors and Japanese from the warships frequent that part of the street added to the first belief that this waR a Japanese servant. Inquiry showed that the stores over the cellar had been occupied by Japanese and these seemed to warrant the belief that this was a Japanese. The police found the Japs who had moved, not far, Indeed, from the place.

There was the man who sold rice cakes. He is Ishikaura, and he had moved to 160 Sands street, on the next. block He was not found by the detectives, but his assistant, who had been with him when he moved from 132, was in the shop, making rice cakes for A customer. 'The police got him and took him over to the building to look at the body. He shook his head and said that he thought he had never seen that person before.

He said that his boss neved used the cellar, and that no Japanese of their acquaintance had disappeared. The cellar might hive been used by the chop suey man, but certainly not by the rice cake maker. Detective Meehan found the chop suey man at 232 Nassau street, not far away either. He is Kazumi Yoshiura, and he is still in the chop suey business, He was busy cooking when the detectiye and reporter saw him. He had not heard of the finding of the body, but he said that he never used the cellar, either.

He had not been there more than twice in the five or six months that he occupied the store above it. He bad an impression that the family which lived upstairs stored things in that cellar, but he was not sure. He said he had moved from the place 011 the 1st of September last, 0: about that time: at the time, also, when the rice cake man left. Police Do Not Believe It Was a Murder Late this afternoon, after much the police were quite sure that this was not a murder. They found that the debris under which the boy was buried was the remains of a vault built against the wall and about 4 feet 6 inches high.

There had been three of these vaults and the Japanese chop suey man, when brought to the place by Detective Reddy, said that they were still intact when he moved from there. The building at 134 Sands street, which is the other of the two. was occupied until the first of the month by Jacob Levin, the dry goods dealer referred to, and he said that he had been bothered a great deal by the vagabonds who made the next door cellar a shelter at night. There was a watchman on the premises, but the homeless in the neighborhood used to seek refuge in the cellar. The police supposition is that this boy had crawled into one of the vaults, which might have fallen on him, and pinned him down, if it did not kill him instantly.

Levin says, that about three weeks ago he detected an unpleasant 'odor 1 in his store, and thinking that some dead rat was there, he had taken up some of the flooring in the rear of the place. Levin is now at 165 Bridge street. SAY TAXES ARE TOO HIGH. Speakers Protest Against Assessments at Meeting Under Auspices Brownsville Taxpayers Ass'n.

Flushing Station House Fireless, and the Men Suffer. Although winter is close at hand, the policemen housed in the Two Hundred and Seventy-sixth Precinct, at Prince and State streets, Flushing, are still without any heat in their building and have already been subjected to much hardship, AS the building is an old one not free from dampness. At night time the men complain that they suffer greatly from the chilly atmosphere, and a number of them have been made ill from colds and rheumatism. When one of the officers was asked who wag responsible for there being 110 coal in the building to start the steam boiler, he said that there seems to be some misunderstanding as to where the responsibility lays.

NOVEMBER 6. 1908. GEN. MURRAY EXPLAINS FORT HAMILTON CASE Shakeup There Had Nothing to Do With Hains-Annis Tragedy. WAS AGREED UPON WEEKS AGO Transfer Made at Request of Lieutenant Colonel Harris--Army Men Deplore Sensational Stories.

Eagle Bureau, 608 Fourteenth street. Washington, November 6-While the officials of the War Department admit that the band been removed permanently from Fort Hamilton, that a number of officers have been detached from that post and that things there have been shaken up generally of late, they insist that the changes have absolutely nothing to do with the Hains-Annis tragedy and the subsequent scandalous developments, indicating that there were high old times at Fort Hamilton during the absence of Captain Hains in the Phillipines. "It is true that the War Department has removed the district headquarters from Fort Hamilton to Fort Hancock," said General Murray, the chief artillery officer to-day. General Murray has direct charge of affairs at Forts Hancock and Hamilton, as well as all other. artillery posts.

"This change was determined upon," he continued, "long before publication of the letter written by hires Hains, which told of the revelries in which certain Fort Hamilton foiks took part. There is absolutely no cennection between the events. I am glad of this opportunity to make the statement that the War Departinent has no cognizance whatever of this affair. Certainly there has been no move made affecting the artillery establishment because of the Hains-1 Annis affair. "There is a very simple explanation of the transfer of the district: headquarters from Fort Hamilton to Fort Hancock.

When Lieutenant Colonel Harris became the district commander he wanted the department to transfer the headquarters to Fort Hancock, where he resided. I was not disposed to do so, however. Colonel Harris was anxious not to have to remove himself and family to Fort Hamilton, especially as he is to retire in a couple of years. "The matter hung fire for a number of months. and in the early part of October I decided to make the change.

On October 15 I made a formal recommendation that the district headquarters be changed to Fort Hancock. On 0 October 22 the offl cers of the staff were. ordered to Fort Hancock, and on October 26 the order for the transfer of the headquarters and band was issued. This was all decided upon before the letter of Mrs. Hains was published, In which she told of the gay times she had been General Murray says that these changes will not lessen in any way the military importance of Fort Hamilton.

The chief effect will be to dim some of the glamor that has surrounded the post in the past, due to its excellent bands and the fancy frills that mark the district headquarters. Among the officers to be detached from this post since the Hains-Annis tragedy are Lieutenant Colonel Samuel -E. Allen, Lieutenant Colonel Henry H. Ludlow. Lieutenant Malcolm Andrus, Captain R.

K. Craven, Captain E. L. Gilmer, Captain Edwin O. Sarratt, Captain Percy M.

Kessler, Captain Granville Sevier and First Lieutenant Chester J. Goodier. Lieutenant Andrus, who was mentioned in the Hains letter was sent to join the artillery school at Fort Monroe on September 1. Cravens was detached in pany at Fort Williams, and Gilmer -was order to assume command of a comsent to Fort Terry. Army offleers generally have.

greatly deplored the Hains-Annis scandal, especially the developments which indicated that life at Fort Hamilton pretty guy and swift with a certain element. It is the general feeling that the army has been put in a wrong and unenviable light by the publication of Mrs. Hains' letters. General Corbin is severely criticised by many officers for having declared that "one woman can make a lot of trouble at an army post," and for otherwise adding to the public gossip about the affair. GRAND STREET TRADE BOARD.

Soft Coal Nuisance and Delay in Grand Street Extension Discussed. Officers Elected. The soft coal smoke nuisance, for which the chimneys of the power house of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company at Kent and Division avenues are responsible, was discussed at a meeting of the Grand Street Board of Trade, held last night in the rooms of Eastern District Club, 466 Grand street. The annual election of officers held, and after the business session there was a musical entertainment, and refreshments were served. President John H.

Brouwer occupied the chair, and Wm. E. Douglas was seeretary. In calling meeting to order President Brouwer said: "The people have made their choice of public offcials, and now we are all at peace again. The verdict is a good one, and now we can look forward to Taft and prosperity.

Let us hope for the prosperity and incidentally let us all decide that in this organization we will work together and strive to accomplish things during the coming year." Secretary Douglas read a communication from Borough President Coler, who said that blame for delay in laying water pipes through the Grand street extension rested with the Board of Estimate. Controller Metz, in a communication dated October 23, notifled the members of the board that President Coler could proceed with the paving of Grand street if he cared to. Herman Naeher moved that a committee be appointed to reController Metz to certify the conquest tract for the paving of the new extension, SO that the work might be started at once. The chair appointed Mr. Naeher, John J.

McManus and Secretary Douglas. Philip Bender declared that the soft coal smoke nuisance was just as bad as ever. and he requested that a committee be appointed to see District AttorClarke and ascertain what further ney action against the railroad officials is contemplated. A committee will be appointed by the chair. On motion of Mr.

Bender, the present officers were re-elected. The officers are: John H. Brouwer, president; Charles Mandel and John Lambert, vice presidents: Adam Fehmel, treasurer; Philip Bender, financial secretary; William E. Douglas, secretary. TO INCREASE ITS MEMBERSHIP.

I ACADEMY USERS WANT LAFAYETTE AV.

STATION Stop Discontinued on Kings County Line by B. R. T. Eight Years Ago. CONDITIONS NOW ALTERED.

Public Service Commission Will Decide the Matter--Company Takes Neutral Attitude. The Public Service Commission has been requested to pass upon the advisability of reopening for traffic purposes the old abandoned Lafayette avenue station of the Kings County elevated line as the resuit of a vigorous agitation. to that end undertaken by the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences, the Brooklyn League and the management of the new Academy of Music. The Lafayette avenue station has not been in commission since 1900, when It, as well as the old Tillary street station, was closed pursuant to an order made by the old Board of Railway Commissioners. Patrons living in the distant section of the borough, popularly known as Order the "long riders," had complained that the Lafayette avenue and Tillary street stopping places were an unnecessary delay to traffic, and the action of the old board was based that protest.

Since the opening the Academy, and upon, its attendant success, the members of the Brooklyn Institute, numbering between 7,000 and 8,000 and representing in the neighborhood of 40,000 persons, have come to the conclusion that a situation has developed which makes the reopening of the Lafayette avenue station an imperative necessity. The members of the Brooklyn League, well as many belonging to the Flatbush Taxpayers Association and including. all those to whom the station would be' a convenience in going to and coming from the Academy, have, therefore, inaugurated a campaign looking toward a stopping of the elevated trains at that point. Professor Hooper's Position. One of those who has taken a prominent part in the agitation is Franklin W.

Hooper of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences who wrote a letter to President: Winters of the: B. R. T. asking him to take the matter considera-1 tion. A return, communication to Mr.

Hooper cited the causes which had. led to the abandonment of the station -accompanied with the announcement that of the Public Service Commission. Mr. the matter had been placed in the hands on Hooper was led to understand, however, that there was some doubt as to the visability of re-establishing the station for the accommodation of passengers on the ground that consideration for the interests of. teh greater number of patrons whom the stopping place would delay in going to and from their homes would not justify it.

Mr. Hooper and those interested with him insist, however, that the B. R. T. ought, in common justice to the new need for the station grant.

the request made for it. the present time the nearest ele-: Vated station to the Academy is at Flatbush, and Mr. Hooper said this morning. "which is quite a distance away, There have, been from to people a day who. have attended the performances at the Academy.

It is estimated that a similar. number. will continue come every day until May. 1. Many of these live in Flatbush, East New York and Cypress Hills.

All would be only too glad to have the station reopened, and it seems to me the demand is great enough and important enough to justify this position. Why the B. R. T. should not see its way clear to granting this request seems a bit.

hazy." Railroad Company Neutral. John F. Calderwood, the vice president of the B. stated to an Eagle reporter this morning that the railway company's only interest in the matter was to preserve the rights of all its patrons in order that no hardship might result against the greater number of patrons by reason of any special interest of a local nature. Arthur N.

Dutton, the superintendent of transportation by whom the controversy has been handled for the B. R. made. a formal statement. as follows: "The B.

R. T. takes a non-committal attitude in this matter. If the greater number of patrons feel that this station ought to be opened, it will be. As generally known, trains have not stopped at that point since the action of the old board of railway commissioners.

"The only use to which the structures were put was for the storage of material. There was some objection to this, and last fall a hearing was had before the Public Service Commission as the result of which and a subsequent hearing lastJanuary it was determined to take down the old building at Tillary street and place the one at Lafayette avenue in good condition, not however for traffc purposes. Such material as had been stored there was removed. The openings were closed up and the building painted. About two months ago different -interests communicated with the B.

R. suggesting the desirability of restoring the station at Lafayette avenue for use to care for traffic going to and from the Academy of Music. The residents of Brooklyn who are familiar with transportation affairs know that the Lafayette avenue station was abandoned beqause of the very little local traffic offered from that point in either direction, and it seemed unreasonable to stop all trains, inconveniencing the large number of through passengers. The evidence offered then showed the relative proportion of through and local traffle, and the latter was so inconsiderable that an order was made by the commissioners discontinuing that station. Situation Slightly Changed.

"The present situation does not differ materially excepting in SO far as the opening of the Academy of Music has led those interested in the success of the enterprise naturally to inquire into the transportation facilities provided for the accommodation of persons attending the meetings or the performances at the Academy. It is not believed that sumcient traffle is offering to warrant the reestablishment of the station, and that in addition to interfering with train movements the result would be some increase the normal hazard which would be had in stopping trains on a heavy grade, It is the old question affecting a between the desires and the rights a local Interest with general Interests of transportation. "While the B. R. T.

has the right, apparently, to take down old buildings, It is desirous of having the question which affects the users of the Fulton street and Brighton lineg generally understood, and the matter is apparently to be properly decided not upon any technical question of railway operation, but as affecting the general good. The railway company has thought it proper to transmit to the Public Service Commission certain inquiries made in regard to the station which, while not necessarily changing the plans, might make their modification desirable. We understand that the commission is in receipt of similar inquiries from other sources." BRODT AT ELLIS ISLAND. After an unsettled situation a8 to the commissariat Ellis Island which began July 15, last, matters have been amicably adjusted and this morning Fritz Brodt to whom has been awarded the contract, took possession of the plant on the island and began the feeding of the immigrants.

METHODIST HOME BENEFITS. Justice Crane Decides That Miss Barker Knew What She Was Doing With Her Money. By the result of a trial before Supreme Court Justice Crane, which ended this morning with a Verdict for the defendants, the Methodist Episcopal Church Home and the New York East Conference will get a large part of the estate of Miss Edith Styles Barker, who died on March 2,, 1905, unless an appeal to the higher courts should set aside Justice Crane's decision.

William F. Titus, a nephew, contested the will, on the ground that his aunt was of unsound mind. In her first will Miss. Barker gave her eight nephews and nieces $1,000 each, but this was revoked by a codicil, which gave them $10 each, and made the Methodist Episcopal Church the principal benefelary. The estate is said to amount to about $60,000.

Three-quarters of the residuary estate is left to the home and one- -quarter to the conference. On the trial, which began yesterday afternoon, several witnesses told of Miss Barker's peculiarities. She was admittedly a devout member of the Methodist denomination but, so the witnesses said, she often attended spiritualistic seances. On motion of the lawyer for the defendants, Justice Crane held that no case had been made out, and he dismissed the complaint. CORRIGAN QUITS JOB And Mayor Appoints Francis V.
