Mayor Gaynor Bails for Europe to-morrow morning, at 10 o'clock, on the steamship Kaiser Wllhclm dcr Grosso. He expects to be gone less than a month. His itinerary does not include any of the principal European cities. Most of bis time abroad will be spent on the water. Instead of disembarking in Eugland or France the Mayor will remain on the liner and enjoy the cruise to the North Sea.

There he will seek recreation on the many lines which run to different points in Sweden, Denmark and Norway. Mayor Gaynor does not leave the City Hall a tired man, even if he has worked from twelve to sixteen hours a day. Work does not havo the samo effect upon him as It does with 'most people. To him arduous official labors furnish pleasant recreation. His friends who have known him on the bench and those who have come in personal contact with him since he came to the City Hall say that Mr.

Gaynor never gets tired. President Gresser and Walter H. Bunn, the new commissioner of public works were callers at tho City Hall early this morning.

There was much speculation as to whether the Mayor again advised him to get rid of technical charges preferred against Policeman Joseph H.

The officer is exonerated with praise and thereby hangs a tale which the police are not giving out to reporters to-day.

If their arreBts yesterday and their subsequent experiences in the tolls of the law did not sober and chasten them, the magistrate's lecture should havo done so, for he talked like a church deacon to a party of naughty nephews, and there was scorn In his eye. Seven objectionable bathers were caught with the goods on yesterday. Or, to be more precise about it, they were caught without sufficient goods on.

There was a thief chase and a panic the bed sheets together and after fastening one end around the iron bedstead in tho room they dropped the other out of tie window. The sheet ladder Just reached to the top of the veranda. With a further entreaty to her sisters for quiet and biting her lips to appear brave, the elder girl kissed the two younger ones and told them to follow her when she gave the signal. They would hear a cat mew and then they were to follow one at a time. Over the window sill went the nervy girl and holding the sheets tightly slid quickly to the top of the veranda.

Her stocking feet made but a soft thud and then the waiting slBters at the window heard the signal. The next girl to try the dangerous trip was 10-year-old Teresa, and with a courage beyond ber age she grasped the soft sheets and followed her older sister's example. Sarah was waiting at the foot to catch her, and the little girl slid gracefully to her side. Then the remaining sister board another and giving the sheet ladder a gentle tug to let them know that she was coming, she went over the window sill and slid in the same way to the side of her slBters. For a minute the girls were silent as they listened for the whereabouts of the watchman and the policeman.

Only the sides of the veranda now remained to slide down. Throwing their bundleB to the ground, they one after the other slid down the wooden uprightB and found themselves safe on tho ground. There were still the convent grounds to be negotiated and any noise from them would attract the attention of the watchful sisters. Noiselessly the girls hurried over tho grass and soon gained the wall which surrounds the convent grounds. The wall is ten feet high and is In parts covered with a twining Ivy.

Over the top of the wall the girls could see a dim light, and they thought It was a Btreot lamp. They llBtened for the sound of the watchman and the policeman, but both were still in the distance. Scale Ten-Foot Wall. A noise in tho convent, as if somebody had discovered their absence, frightened them, and excitedly the three girls climbed the Ivy-covered wall and dropped to the other side. They had expected to find the street, but what was their consternation and surprise when they discovered that they had dropped Into the back yard of a neighboring house.

They could not return. Their escape had probably been discovered and the sisters were making a search for them. They must go on and In some way get through the house and out Into the street. As they wenf across the yard on' their hands and knees the youngest sister overturned a large box she had stumbled unexpectedly Into and the box fell with a crash to the ground. Almost Instantly there was a light in an upper window, and the owner of the house peered out and called "Who's there?" But no answer came.

The three girls almost stopped breathing. The man at the upper window peered down in the darkness. Not satis-fled the man left the window and soon a light appeared in the kitchen. Then the back door opened and the man In a nightcap and a dressing gown with a candle In one hand came out and In a loud voice demanded who was there. Badly frightened the youngest sister choked out a cry.

The man heard the smothered exclamation and holding the candle In her direction pointed hlB revolver. Great was bis surprise to see the little girls. "Where did you come from at this time of night?" he asked, and the little girls told him of their attempt to escape from the convent. Not satisfied the man called the watchman and he awakened one of the sisters. The escape had been discovered and the little girls were taken back to the Institution.

This morning they appeared In a solemn mood before Judge Mclnerney and he listened gravely to the charges against them. On Ihe request of the sisters of tho convent he sent the three girls to the New York Catholic Protectory. Last Monday the girls bad been brought to the children's court on a charge of Improper guardianship. Their father was In prison for sixty days on a charge of assault and their mother was dead. The three girls had been trying to make a living when their condition was brought to the notice of Probationary Officer Mal-lon.

He took charge of them. They were to remain In the convent until their father came out of prison. FINED FOR SUNDAY WORK.

Me! 1, who once played at Hammersteln's!" One-Plece and Tight-Fitting Two-piece Bathing Suits Come Under the Ban.

Police Captain Galvin had a squad of tventy-two men patrolling the beaches yesterday, looking for the "objection-ables." Each man had his instructions as to what was to be considered quite au fait, in police circles, and what wasn't. One-piece suits were tabooed. A two-piece suit in which the top part Is tucked into the lower garment, so as to make theromblnatlon tight, is also barred. The proper thing is a two-piece suit, comfortably loose, with the upper garment draped loosely and flowingty outside the nether garment, as a Chinaman wears his blouse. At the approach of Captain Galvin and his twenty-two protectors of tho public morals, the beach would be suddenly cleared, just as there is a scatterment among the minnows in a pool when a big trout or pickerel dashes Into It.

Everyone who felt a doubt as to his garment dived. Scared Bathers Take to Water. Suspicious characters bobbed up again in deep water, with all their anatomy below the shoulders quite concealed, and yelled derisively at the majesty of the law. And a number of them, refusing to come to land and show exactly how they were dressed, mocked Captain Galvin with the improvisation: O. officer, come In and xwlin Tt only costs a quarter; Sunt han your clnthev on a hk-Uiry limb.

And follow us through the water! Red faced and speechless, all the majesty of the law could do was to wait on the edge of the ocean until the attenuated bathing suits Buam ashore.

A good many proprietors of hathlns houses, warned of the crusade, InKtriirtt 1 their employes yesterday not to permli the objectionable suits near the water. Many who brought tinht suits were approached by the bath house, men and warned to rent right suits, or eioe keep out of the water.

The police authorities are very much In earnest. They think that yesterday's round up will almost end their trouble with the "objcctlonables." Two Classes of Objectionable Esthers, Snys Magistrate.

Residents of the section turned out when they heard the policeman firing and cal'-ing and blowing his whistle. Mrs. Erneit. Bertran of 101 Pilling street, saw thief running: away and called for assist A peculiar objection against Hilton Selkridge as a United States citizen was offered in the Supreme Court this morning by Assistant United States District Attorney Solomon. He asked Justice Putnam to exclude Selkridge from citizenship on the ground that he has a daughter suffering from an eye disease, who is now being detained on Ellis Island.

He made a vain endeavor to convince the court that Selkridge should be barred out because, if he were naturalized his daughter would then have a right to admission into the country, in spite of the fact that she Is suffering from a contagious eye disease. Selkridge Is a colored gardener in the employ of Harry M. Halsiead, a well to do resident of Flatbush, whose home Is at 8S2 Ocean avenue. Halstead took an Interest in furthering his gardener's aspirations toward citizenship and sent bis attorney to court this morning to look after the colored man's application. William T.

Cooke, Halstead's attorney, In making his plea on behalf of Selkridge, took the Ellis Island authorities to task for the manner In which they have treated the colored man's daughter. She arrived here from the West Indies Borne time ago, following tho death of her mother. A sister who came with her was allowed to land but she was sent to Ellis Island. The immigration authorities diagnosed ber disease as trachoma, which, according to Attorney Cooke, they pronounce incurable. After considerable effort on the part of Halstead and his lawyer they Induced the federal authorities to allow the girl to be transferred to the Eye and Ear Hospital in this borough.

There she was under treatment by specialists and was said to be progressing toward a cure when the Ellis Island authorities sent for her and declared that she would have to be deported. The girl is only 17 years old, she has no relatives In the West Indies and might be turned back If she were sent there. For thlB reason her father is anxious to keep her here. As an American citizen he would be in a better position to oppose the action of the federal authorities and this was another reason why he desired citizenship.
