5th Ave. and Broadway NEW YORK MOTHER VISITS LAMPHERE. He Says That He Intends to Be an Exemplary Prisoner. Laporte, November 27-Before Ray Lamphere, under a prison sentence of from two to twenty-one years, was taken to the state prison in Michigan todav he received.a visit from his aged mother. Lamphere, tried for the murder of Mrs.

Belle Gunness and her three children by setting fire to the Gunness home last April, was yesterday found Jilty of arsonia the jury having been inpriucted Richter that such a diet might be returned under the inthe, sentment. Mrs. Lamphere came here from wbuth Bend to see her son. The mother twept convulsively as she clasped her son In her arms. Tears came to the prisoner's eyes, but he otherwise gave no sign of what he felt.

Lamphere, before leaving for the prison, said he intended to become an exemplary prisoner, so he would get the benefit of the allowance, for good behavior. He said he hoped to be paroled after his first two years. Attorney Worden announced to-day that he would make a motion Monday before Judge Richter for another trial. If the motion be denied, Mr. Worden says he will appeal the case.

The transcript of the case for appeal would cost over $500. As Lamphere's family has no means and as his friends by subscription have provided his defense, general opinion is that the appeal will never be made. If the appeal be made and the case reversed, the chances are that the state would try Lamphere on the Helgelein murder charge. BROOKLYNITES IN PARIS. Eagle Bureau, 53 Rue Cambon.

RUSH WORK BEING DONE ON MANHATTAN BRIDGE Early in February the Building of Superstructure Will Be Begun. TESTS OF SUSPENDERS MADE. The Samples Stood 287,000 Pounds Strain, and on Bridge 50,000 Will Be the Maximum.

The most gratifying reports on the progress of the work on the Manhattan Bridge are being received each week by Bridge Commissioner Stevenson. From the present indications it will not be surprising if the big structure is turned over to the city before the contract time. Every bit of the work on the structure is ahead of the stipulated time and early in February, according to the present schedule, the actual work of building the steel superstructure will begin. Bridge Commissioner Stevenson was informed to-day that the stringency of the wires which are to form the massive cables will be finished early next week. Then the bounding of the cables will be undertaken.

The contractor for this work must also hang the steel suspenders from the cables. All 1 this the engineers of the Bridge Department figure will be finished by February. With the hanging of the steel suspenders, the "heavy work," as the engineers term it, will begin. In fact, It will be. actually undertaken before February.

The work of hanging the suspenders will start from each tower toward the center of the span. As fast as these suspenders are hung the iron work of the superstructure will be put in place. Over 500 of the 2,500 suspenders refore the end of next month. The Phenixquired have already been delivered at the bridge. he The remainder will arrive beville Steel Company which is manufacturing the parts for the superstructure is away ahead on its contract and hundreds of different parts have already been shipped to New York.

Wednesday afternoon last, the Mayor, Secretary William A. Willis, Bridge Commissioner Stevenson, Chief Engineer Ingersoll, and Frank B. Robinson, president of the Carbon Steel Company, witnessed full size tests of the suspenders and sockets which are to be used in the Manhattan Bridge. The tests were made under the direction of Consulting Engineer Alexander Johnson at the Trenton plant of the John A. Roebling's Sons Company.

The suspenders of the bridge will consist of inches galvanized rope. The weight of the bridge structure and moving load is transferred through these suspenders to the main cables. There will be four suspenders at each panel point of each cable. Where the bridge structure is hung on the suspenders their ends are socketed into a steel casting which is threaded on the outside for a inches nut. Three pieces of the inches socketed suspender rope were tested to destruction.

In each instance the socket developed greater strength than the suspender rope, which broke at 287,000 wounds, 288.600 pounds and 290,000 pounds, respectively. The greatest load which can occur on one of these 'suspender ropes under the worst condition of loading on the bridge is 50,000 pounds, so that there is factor of safety of over five times in suspenders and sockets. then "SQUEALED" ON HIS PALS.

TRUCKFUL OF IRON PIPES STOLEN IN BROWNSVILLE Police Have Supposedly Been Searching for Them for Quite a Month. NO TRACE HAS BEEN FOUND. Builder Has Discharged Watchman, Who Says He Was Locked in Tool House. Although It happened a month ago, the police of the Atlantic avenue station have not yet solved the mystery surrounding the disappearance of eighty-five lengths of four-inch iron pipe, weighing more two tons, which were taken in a big truck by four men, from the lot at Eastern Parkway and Utica avenue. According to the told to the police by Abraham Gelfiend himself, he was locked in the tool house by one of the men while three or four others, who were with him in the wagon, backed the horses up to the pile of pipe and removed the whole lot in the wagon.

Gelflend is, or rather was, the watchman on duty on the night when the pipes were taken away. His services have been dispensed with by David Toback, the builder, who is constructing the row of semi-detached two-family houses. Gelflend lives with his wife and babies at 540 Rockaway avenue. On Thursday night, October 29, a big truck into the lot adjoining the last of row of houses. Right beside the tool and store house lay the lengths of pipe, all neatly piled up so that they might quickly be dispatched into the vaxious parts of the building, one by one.

Gelfiend was in the tool house When he heard the crunch of wheels and the tramp of horses' hoofs on the ground he came outside. According the story he told to the police, he was grabbed by one of the men, beaten on the head with a cement bag, and shoved into the toolhouse. His assailant stood guard over him, while the other two, or maybe there were three others, quickly loaded the pipe into the truck. When the job had been done, one of the truckmen called to the man who was keeping Gelflend a prisoner, and the watchman was suddenly released. The stranger sprang aboard the truck and it drove away in the darkness, with several hundred dollars worth of iron pipe abroad, and the men waving the watchman an adieu.

The humble watchman, not being possessed of any considerable detective ability, instead of trailing the truck with its burden, ran as fast as his legs could carry him to the home of David Toback, the builder at 1573 Eastern Parkway, more than a mile away, to break the news. In his excitement Mr. Goldfend perhaps didn't give thought to the fact that he had left the buildings unwatched and the whole row--cellar, roof and walls--might have been carted off in his absence. That was probably one of the reasons his services were subsequently dispensed with by Mr. Toback; but not all the residents of Brownsville are born detectives.

Bright and early in the morning following the larceny of the pipes Goldfend, following instructions. went to the Atlantic avenue station. Harry Richmond of 593 Hopkinson avenue, the plumbing contractor on the Toback job, went along with him, and one or two of the other bosses also went to the police station. The lieutenant and Mr. Richmond questioned the watchman closely and got some additional details, to wit, that he had made an awful racket, screaming for heln and assistance, and that the only memento of the cement -bagging was a small scratch over one of his eyes.

In the course of the investigation it was learned that a gang of B. R. T. construction men were repairing the tracks at Eastern Parkway and Utica avenue at the time the robbery was said to have occurred. The man in charge of that gang, according to Mr.

Richmond, was questioned, and he was very positive that he didn't hear anybody scream for help, or he certainly woull have come to the rescue with some of his men. And just over the way, at the corner of Utica avenue and the Parkway, another row of houses is being constructed by somebody else. and the night watchman of that outfit declared also, with great positiveness, that he didn't hear any cries on the night in question, nor any other night, or he, too. would have been on the run, pistol in hand, to see what it was all about. The pipes had been received by Toback five days before they were stolen.

Gelfiend did not know whether there was a name or number on the truck. But then he was locked in the tool house, where he could not see anything but sure death, if he did not behave himself, according to thief etiquette. But the pies were stolen. That fact alone stands out with great certainty, and the deep and impenetrable mystery may never be riddied with the light of day, and it is doubtful if the thieves or the pipes will ever be apprehended.

Row Started in So-Called Joke. Wrist Slashed With Razor. A razor Agured in a r'OW which first started with skylarking by Stephen Schonkoda, 18 years old of 89 North Seventh street, and John Coda, 22 years old of 153 Wythe avenue. The two were drinking in the saloon at Wythe avenue and North Seventh street, when they decided as a joke to threaten to forcibly shave Richard Karolich of 167 Wythe avenue, who was also in the saloon. The joke worked all right.

Karolich made a dash from the saloon followed by Schonkoda and Coda. A tussle followed. Kar0lich claims a slash was made at his throat, but that he saved himself by throwing up his hand. His wrist was gashed and an artery severed. Dr.

Barnes of the Williamsburg Hospital bandaged the wound, and Policeman Martin Short, of the Bedford avenue station, caught Schondoka and Coda before they could get away. The two were held to-day in the Bedford avenue court for a hearing by Magistrate Dooley. STATE EXCISE RECEIPTS. (Special to the Eagle.)

DIVERS UNABLE TO WORK ON STEAMSHIP FINANCE Heavy Sea Off Sandy Hook Keeps Wreckers Away From Sunken Vessel.

FOUR PERSONS STILL MISSING 800 Bags of Mail Will Be Mostly a Loss-Brooklyn Man Saved, but Has Disappeared. Wreckers went this morning to the steamship Finance of the Panama Railroad line, which was sunk yesterday fog in a collision with the White Star line steamship Georgic, causing the loss of four lives. A stiff breeze which piled up the waves, sending them over the sunken steamer, made it impossible for the divers and others to work. and the wrecking tug I. J.

Merritt had to leave the Finance and anchor in the lower bay. Work will ba suspended until the sea subsides somewhat. Postoffice inspectors went with the wreckers to see what could be saved of the mall matter that went down with the Finance. There were eight hundred bags aboard and much of this contained valuable government besides, it was stated to-day, The money papers, orders that were sent by the Finance will not be lost, as they can be repaid to the senders upon the production of their receipt slips. When the bags are recovered from the wreck the paper, money and currency will also be saved without any loss.

But the papers will, undoubtedly, be ruined action of the salt water, and the governnient at is a serious loss through the spoiling of these papers. Letters will also prove 8 total loss. Before 1 P.M. to-day a few score relatives and friends of the passengers who had been on the Finance and are now on the Allianca, which is anchored In the middle of the Hudson River off the foot of Thirty-sixth street, Manhattan, visited the Panama Railroad and Company's pier at the foot of West Twenty-seventh street. Superintendent Borden, in charge at the pier, had a New York Central barge come alongside, and on this the relatives and friends were taken out to the anchored vessel.

They took out with them, most of them, clothing and dainties for the survivors. On the same barge the line out a. large extra consignment of provisions and clothing. Borden and other employes of the line had given money out of their own pockets to some of the more forlorn of the survivors who landed last night, rather than keep the people waiting for the arrival of funds from the company. The company has already expended several thousand dollars in providing for the comfort of the shipwrecked ones.

Superintendent Borden said this afternoon that the four persons reported missing from the Finance are still missing. The after cabin of the Finance has been loosened by the sea and was washing about to-day, while cabin furniture and Attings drifted near the scene of the wreck. The hull of the steamer was completely submerged. A moderate westerly sea was running. The question as to whether Captain Clarke of the Georgie or Captain Mowbray of the Finance was to blame for the disaster that cost four lives, will come within a day or two before the steamboat inspectors and harbor supervisors in Manhattan.

The Panama Line officials place the blame on the White Star captain, but the latter claims that he can prove that his vessel was motionless when the crash came, and that the Finance worked out her own doom. Among the passengers picked up from the wrecked Finance yesterday was Herman O. Jackel of 256 Fifty-sixth street, Brooklyn. Jackel was in bed when the Georgie struck the Finance, and he made his escape from the vessel by climbing through a port hole. He was later transferred to the Georgie by some men who had thrown him a line from a raft.

Jackel is a shipbuilder and was on his way 10 Panama, where he was to work at. his trade for the United States government. At his home this morning it was learned that nothing had been heard from him directly since the accident, and his friends there fear that he is more seriously hurt than at first reported and that he may be in some hospital.

BROOKLYN STILL LOYAL TO ESPERANTO FAITH Though Manhattan Is Following After the Strange Gods of the "llo" Cult. VAN VLECK IS VERY HOPEFUL.

He Concedes That "Ilo" Has Some Advantages, but Thinks the "Sooners" Are Unwise. Esperanto, the new "world language," which was to bring out complete understanding among all the nations of the earth, and so unite them that they would feel their common brotherhood and abolIsh war, is now itself in the thooes of internal dissensions, and Esperantists are rapidly splitting up into factions and calling each other names in Esperanto and in other less polite languages. The officers of the New York Esperanto Soclety have broken away from their recent love, the language which they had adopted, as it were, and they are now joining in the movement to produce another universal language of which they will be the mothers and fathers, SO to speak, and which they hope will be the mother tongue of all races in succeeding ages. The members of York Esperanto Society, which dwindled in Now, numbers from several hundred to about fifteen, at their last voted to discard the study of Esperanto and take up with the study of (pronounced which they say is logical than the other tongue. 19 the product of the Marquis L.

de Beaufront, who brought it to the attention of the Committee of the International guage Delegation in Paris in October, 1907. However Manhattanites may act, Brooklyn still remains loyal to Esperanto, as may be seen from the following statements of Durbin Van Vleck, president of the Brooklyn society. Mr. Van Vleck says that the reason the Manhattan 80- ciety has fallen off in its membership is because of the agitation raised by the converts to the new language who have driven the serious devotees of Esperanto out of the meetings by their continual criticisms of Esperanto. "Why, as they call it, is merely a form of Esperanto," said Mr.

Van Vleck, to-day. "It Is based on Esperanto and in some respects is all improvement on it. But that is no reason why the followers of de Beaufront should start in to condemn Esperanto so severely. The proper way for these critics of certain forms in the language to proceed is through the regular channels provided in the present Esperanto organization. There is a committee of international reputation in charge of just such matters, and the proper thing to do is for the reformers to present their changes to this committee for action and await their report at the next international conference, which is to be held in Barcelona.

There is no doubt that they would receive the attention they deserve at the hands of this committee, as that 1s what the committee is for. These people are and they are doing much harm by their precipitate action. The very word that they use to distinguish their new study is taken from Esperanto, as are most of their forms. 'llo' means a tool, and is a suffix attached to certain to show their use as tools. "There is only one man that I know of at present in Brooklyn who is a follower of the new cult, for all the rest of u8 take the sensible view of it.

That is. if there are any changes to be made in the language it is better to have them made by the regular Esperantist organization than to start out all over again and try to begin a new world crusade. This would lead to a waste of effort and to confusion, worse confounded." "We are having great success in Brooklyn," continued Mr. Van Vleck, "and are gaining new students every day. A new class IS now being formed and any who are interested are invited to join right away, SO that all the members of the class can start on the same footing.

Mrs. H. D. King of 287 DeKalb avenue has charge of the arrangements of the class. We have no fear that Esperanto will be by but, or course, It supplanted may be modified a3 experience Colonel George Harvey, editor of HarWeekly, who is president of the Naper's tional Esperanto Society, says that he knows nothing about the defection of the officers of the Now York society.

He said that ha did know that the national movement was constantly growing and estimated the number of Esperantists in the United States at present at about 6,000. EXIT FLUSHING VOLUNTEERS.
