Two small boys who have been much sought after in the city during the past few months were sentenced to the House of Refuge by Justice Wilkin sitting in tha Children's Court Saturday afternoon. Four policemen, two big detectives, three representatives of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children kept an anxious eye on the Inds in court until representatives from the House of Refuge came to take them to Randall's Island.

The boys were George Petrowski, 13 years old, of 283 Twenty-third street, and John Luby, 15 years old, of 283 Twenty-second street. Last June they escaped from the detention pen of the Children's I'ouit by crawling up cylinder in the laboratory that was used as a ventilator. About a month after tills Luby was captured and was sentenced to Hie Catholic Protectory. Just as he was being led Into the door of the protectory be tripped up the oflieer and made his escape. Besides eseapting from tile Children Court and sliceessi idly dodging tile, police for so long, Petrowski had al.

live different times escaped from the old Brooklyn Direiplina.ry Training School for DR. SHW HURLS EPITHETS. She Di'iiounccs Marjorie Doriuaii and Other Antl -Suffragists. In an inlerview issued yesterday to the representatives of three daily newspapers of Omaha, Dr. Anna How aid Shaw, the famous Suffragist, made a bitter attack upon some of tlio nationally known women of Hie anti-Suffrage workers.

A telegram received today by Mrs. Arthur M. Dodge, president of the National Anti-Suffrage Association, from the Nebraska Association imposed to Women's Sul'I'rage, slates that, when Dr. Shaw undertook to reply to a certain statement contained in an advertisement published in tlio Omaha pallet's on Saturday by a Abm's Anti-Suffrage organization. h-r wrath was aroused to tlio point of calling some of her opponents very harsh names, among them "liar" and "big fool." Miss Marjorie Dorman, secretary of the Working Girls Society of New York and Brooklyn, who has recently been active In the anti-Suffrage cainpuign in Omaha, was one of tile particular objects of Dr.

Shaw's criticism. BROOM. DIRECTORS. i Special to The Eagle.) Albany. November 2 The Frederick P.

Bedell Company Presents Remaining Monkeys iu Collection to Brooklyn Youngsters.

From tho Eagle's London Bureau. 3 Rogent street, there came today in the mails from The Eagle's England rt-pro-jscntatlvo, George W. Kettle, a full re-: port of tho examination of the Bostock animals, purchased by Brooklynttos through The Eagle for tlio Prospect Pari; Zoo. There also arrived in the (same tr.ail the first photographs taken of lie animals and some of which are shown in the picture section of today's Eogio. Tlio animals were examined by Professor Wooldridge the Royai Veterinary College and consulting veterinary surgeon oi the London Zoological Society, whose report is givon.

The representatives of The Eagle In London saw the animals safely placed on tho steamship West Point for their conveyance to the United States. Mr. Kettle, in his report of the examination and shipment of the new zoo, written under date of October 23, says: "At the outset we were exceptionally fortunate in Eecurlng the services of Professor Wooldridge, the consulting veterinary surgeon to the London Zoological Society, wno was recommended to us by the Superintendent of the Zoological Gardens in London as being absolutely the best man we could secure for the purpose. "He was very pleased with the condition of them all, with the exception of one lioness, which lie rejected. And Incidentally, be inforniod me that Messrs.

Bostock had the reputation for giving tho utmost care auu atten tion to their stock; their animals are fed well, their health is looked after most assiduously, and then keepers are selected and retained both for their efficiency and humane dualities. "It scarcely comes within the scope of this report to relate that an absent-minded driver of one of the lorries, conveying the animals to the dock, lost Lis cape to discover it shortly afterwards in the cage of one of the lionesses who had managed apparently to get hold of a corner of it and appropriated it to her own use; while a dock-laborer, whose courage would earn hint the Victoria Cross If be were nthe firing line, lndlsmreetly got hold of the bars In assisting bim with the bears cages, and In consequence reached him that evenlngg minus portion of his waistcoat, but fortunately injured in uo other way. "Tho steamship West Point sailed on the 21st Inst, and Is due In Philadelphia within a fortnight of that date." The report of tho animals' condition by Professor Woolrldge is as follows: "Royal Veterinary College. "Camden Town, "London, N. VV 16, 1914.

"I be? to state that in company with an Eagie representative I this day proceeded to Messrs. Bostock's menagerie at Earl's Court and at your request inspected a number of animals on behalf of The Brooklyn Eagle and beg to report as follows: "Seven lions and lionesses of varying ages, nine lions wore placed for inspection, of which seven were to be selected. I rejected one lionees for cntaract, the choice for number 7 resting between a good specimen of a seven to eight years old lion named Atlas, with one eye, and a young lion, 3 years old (Bruce). As the latter is a very good specimen I advised his selection. One adult lion (Merrimac.) has drooping eyelids, but appears to be quite healthy, as are all the others "Ten bears, brown and black, including one sloth boar.

Of these a Russian cinnamon bear has a cartaract In his left eye. Apart from that fact they all appear to be in good health and condition. "One white mule, or so the animal is catalogued. To me tho animal appears to be a female white ass (Asiatic) and not a hvbrid, as is usually meant by the term She is a good specimen and apparently quite docile. "Eight wolves, all of which appeared to be quite healthy and good specimens in good coat.

One lnrge wolf has a scar on the top of his poll (i. at the back of his head). Sundry small animals, including two Jackals, one dingo, one coyotte, one mongoose, sveernl lemurs and a number of monkers. All of these appear to be in excellent condition, good speclmcnt and healthy. "It may be remarked that many of the animals show minor scars about the head and limbs, such as are quite inseparable from caged wild animals and mainly due to rubbing on the bars, etc.

"I may say that I have seen the schedule of sale prices of the animals and in my opinion those prices are well within, or even far below their real value. "GEO. H. WOOLBR1DGE, R. C.

Peter Jlieeo Front street and Jos('p" Knnis of Front street, the oung rooti arreted last night near the Long Railroad station Fiat-: b'-wn avenue, af'er a shot tired bv one them llit siuing I the waiting ro.un. were held without jban to await further examination to- by Magistrate Voorhees in the court. The men were both enarged w.th arrymg concealed weapons and Rieco faced the additional charge of felonious assault because It was from his gun that tho shot was fired.

The two men are said to have come to the aid of a woman known as Catherine Dougherty of 624 State street, who had baen arrested as a disorderly person by Detective Downs. According to tho story of the ofiicer the girl shouted for help and one of the men, who had been standing on the street corner, pulled a revolver and tired two shots. Tho first of them tore through the detective's coat, but the second went wide of that mark and went through an open window into the railroad waiting room. Mary S. Van Wagner of S77 Union street, a sister of Police Captain Jacob Van Wagner, was sitting on a bench near tho window and the shot hit her back.

She was not serlouslv in lured. but Dr. Brown of Brooklyn Hospital took her to that Institution as a precaution. The woman had been with a friend. Mary S.

Reilly, of 1243 Fifty-sixth street. The two shots had attracted a big crowd in tho street, and when it was learned that a woman had been wounded in the station, the crowd stampeded for the waiting room. Reserves from the Butler and Bergen street stations had to be called to keep the crowd In check. Detective Downs' story of the shooting is that he had arrested the Dougherfy woman for disorderly conduct an, was taking her to the nearest ala in box to get a patrol wagon, when she suddenly called to the two men, who had been standing near, for help. According to the policeman, both men pulled revolvers and one of them fired twice.

The first shot ripped the officer's coat and it was the second which found its mark in Miss Van Wagner's body. Downs Immediately called for help and two uniformed policemen, directed by James Crelgh-ton, chased the men, who were running away, and caught them. Rlcco was charged today with having a large revolver, from which tw shots had been fired. In his possession, and he was also charged wjth the felonious assault upon the woman.

The letter follows: Editor Brooklyn Daily Eagle: "Will The Eagle help fo expose a manufacturer who is passing off for linoleum an article composed of tar paper witli a painted paper surface? There are several men operating with wagons this alleged linoleum at 25 cents a yard. They claim that is of tho 75 cent quality, but thut as it is a remnant, they are able to sell it at the lower figure. "I was a victim last ue-'k.

The ear-pet layer whom 1 sent for refused to lay the linoleum until he had shown me just what the stuff was. Ho told me tiiat a number of people, including very rioor ones, had bought tlio poods only to find that when warm water was used to clean it with, the painted surface came off, having only the. black tar paper. This caipet-lnyer says he has tile addresses of a number of 'other victims beside myself. "I have eleven yards of this misrepresented goods, winch I can produce, as evidence of the fraud.
