GIFTED GIRL'S SUICIDE. Miss Threw Herself From Ferryboat River. the East Melancholia, brought on by too severe application to her duties as chief of the foreign department of the Astor library, and by brooding over the troubles of her folks in Russia, prompted Miss Fanny Puchno to throw herself from the deck of the Houston street ferryboat Newtown in midstream yesterday. The body was not recovered. Miss Puchno was a handsome and singularly gifted girl of 19.

She lived at 262 East Broadway, Manhattan. Before the boat left the Brooklyn side, Miss Puchno's strange actions attracted the attention of everybody in the women's cabin. She passed the cabin nervously, and the wondering women near her saw a strange gleam in her eye as the boat made its way across the river. Suddenly she shrieked, clambered over the rail, and jumped into the water. She arose to the surface, and a life-preserver wag thrown to her, but she avoided it.

The boat was stopped and efforts were made to secure the body, but they were of no avail. The river at the point where Miss Puchno drowned herself will be dredged to-day. ATTACKED WIFE WITH AX.

Inspector Flood Holds Conferences to Perfect Police Plans-Draft of 400 Patrolmen. Acting under instructions from Deputy Police Commissioner O'Keeffe, Borough Inspector Flood called all the inspectors land police captains of the Boroughs.of Brooklyn and Queens before him this morning to give them general instructions about the police arrangements for the preservation of the peace and the protection of the public at Coney Island next week. The police are profiting now by experience of last year and there is a determination on the part of the heads of the force that there be no rowdyism and that the public shall have a chance to enjoy the spectacle in a rational way. The plan is to have 400 patrolmen drafted for Island service during the week-200 from Brooklyn and Queens and 200 from Manhattan. The men from Manhattan will receive the same instructions as the men from the other two boroughs, and Borough Inspector Flood will have charge of them all.

There is to be a perfect understanding that the precinct commanders who are to send these men to the Island, and there is to be a draft from every precinct in the three boroughs, will pick young fellows who will be able to cope with the crowds, but policemen who are of good caliber physically and mentally, and who are known for their courtesy. Under ordinary conditions a captain who is told to own favorites, ordinarily fat persons and select 1 men for special duty picks out his maybe of easy-going, beery inclination. Beery persons and tipplers are not wanted, but bright fresh, intelligent young men, and so it was that the Borough Inspector called the captains together this morning to emphasize this point. He was anxious that they should select the best men in their precincts, for the work will be arduous and the men who are picked out for the job will have 1 to be at the Island all next week. The inspectors of all the districts in the two boroughs were present this morning to hear from Mr.

Flood what was wanted. They were also told that their personal staffs would be needed at the island, the lieutenants and the sergeants, and the plainclothes men. The general plan of police work mapped out in the various conferences that have been held during the week was explained to the commanders. The men will be told off in squads. They will have the same post night after night and each squad, maybe two-score of patrolmen, will be under the guidance of a lieutenant and two sergeants.

The lieutenants and sergeants are to have a talk from Mr. Flood later in the day. Then there is to be a general assembly of the men on Monday, and Flood will again tell them what is expected and how they are to comport themselves. There are to be eight telephone stations along Surf avenue, at each of which a man in plain clothes will be always in attendance. Deputy Commissioner O'Keeffe, Borough Inspector Flood and Inspector Harking will be on hand to receive the reports.

Inspector Flood has a notion that from some elevated point he may be able nightly, with glasses, to watch the line of march, and if he can make arrangements to locate in some such place he will be glad. As stated in the Eagle the other day the police will not permit the use of ticklers with tacks, nor of confetti with pepper or ground sweepings. And there is another thing that the public might as well understand, as Mr. Flood explains, at the outset. Section 887 of the Code of Criminal Procedure prohibits the use of masks in public.

Last year there were celluloid masks sold along Surf avenue, which simulated Indians and expressmen and a shocking variety of odd and grotesque Individualities. These were sold for a small sum and were mightily popular, and nobody dreamed that in wearing them in the mad throng along Surf avenue there was any violation of the law. Even some of the best friends of the heads of the police department bought them, and had much fun with them. This year there is to no disguise to personality. Every mother's son and father's daughter who wears a mask will be "pinched." no matter if the person is nearest and dearest official throne.

Section 887 stalks Hicche ghost this year and woe betide the person who violates it. Inspector Flood wants that understood. "Section 887 is the definition of vagrants. One clause makes a vagrant of person who, having his face painted, discolored, covered, or concealed, or being otherwise disguised in a manner calculated to prevent his being identified, appears in a road or public highway, or in a field lot, wood, or WENT AWAY WELL CLAD. Burglar, Beside Clothing Himself, Took $5,000 Worth of Booty Away.

A burglar who got into the home of John Cleary, a retired merchant, at Carpenter and Westchester avenues, the Bronx, last evening, helped himself to Mr. Cleary's best evening clothes, patent leather shoes and high hat, leaving behind his own discarded well-worn clothing in a closet. The burglar forced a lock on the kitchen window between 3 and 5:30 in the afternoon, while the whole family was out, and went through the house in a systematic manner, gathering together and taking away with him booty worth over $1,500. Beside silverware, clothing and several articles of jewelry, the man stole a box containing old gold coins worth $150 at face value, with a market value of considerably more. The man also took a bath in the bath room and evidently made himself very much at home.

Mr. Cleary, returning home at 5:30 yesterday, discovered the robbery and notifled the police. There is yet no clue to the burglar. SON AND DIAMONDS GONE. Charles Segileken of 622 Madison street reports that his son, Charles, 19 years old, has disappeared with three diamond rings, valued at $350.

Policeman Rescues Woman in Lexington Avenue Blaze. During a fire which was discovered early this morning in a grocery store on the ground floor of a six story a apartment house at 1774 Lexington avenue, Manhattan, Mrs. Celia Duaex, 67 years old, was carried down the ladders from the top floor by Policeman Dinegan of the East One Hundred and Fourth street station.

Many of the tenants living in the house got out by means of the fire escape. From all indications the police believe that the Are was of an incendiary and investigations are being made by them and the fire marshal. The damage amounted to about $500. For the last year, Mrs. Lena Yeader has had a grocery store on the ground floor and has always slept in the rear of the store.

Last night, receiving an invitation from friends living in the house, she went to their rooms and slept. It was the first night that. she had not been in the store in a year. Shortly after midnight, while passing the store, Policeman Dinegan discovered the flames in the rear. After turning in an alarm he ran up through the house, notifying the tenants.

Until Austin made his plea and stated intention of abiding by the rules in his the future, it was generally believed that the department would approve of his exclusion, as he 18 a first-class man, and members of that class 'are not only expected not to break rules, but to aid the authorities as much as possible in enforcing them. Although not officially announced, it is learned that the sentence has been mitigated by charging 100 demerits against him and depriving him of his annual vacation, which his fellow students are now enjoying.

This is the same punishment inflicted in the case of George F. Humbert of Williamstown, third class, who was recommended for dismissal for the same offense. Austin "jumped" his ship while the squadron was in the vicinity of Bath, and remained away over night. He has since been under arrest and confined to his room at the academy here. WILL SUE THE CITY.

Parents of Boys Injured by Boiler Explosion to Begin Action. Suit is about to be begun by the parents of Charles Dyer, and Le Roy Black against the City of New York, for damages sustained by these young men when the boiler of the launch that was conveying them from Glen Cove to the schoolship St. Mary's blew up last May. Both boys were badly scalded, but jumped overboard. When they got to the schoolship, the doctor was ashore, and they were left some hours without medical attendance.

NERVOUS BREAK DOWN PRECEDED THE SUICIDE John F. Trommer Had Not Been Himself for Months Before He Died. STATEMENT FROM BROTHER. There Was a Slight Misunderstanding With Young Woman John F. Trommer Was to Marry.

TRAVIS MEN ATTACKING ROBERTS AS MERE BOSS Circular Statement Tells of Postmaster's Veto of a Reform Bill. FIGHT IS FOR HUGHES IDEAS. Opposition in 11th A. D. Has No Patronage, but It Has Plenty of Hopes-Strong Language.

Determined to break the rule of Postmaster Roberts in the Eleventh Assembly District by wresting the Republican executive membership from him, the independent Republicans of the district who have put forward Senator Eugene M. Travis as their candidate for the place, through their campaign committee, have issued what they call "a plain statement." It not only attempts to refute the statements of Postmaster Roberts, but sets forth in forcible English that Roberts is "a polltical boss" rather than a leader, with the inflexible ambition to dictate nominations by close corporation methods. The present leader is also accused of privately opposing the policies of Governor Hughes. This is the statement: "A large number of the enrolled Republicans of our district believe that the time has come for a change in leadership. We therefore beg to submit the following facts, ask your careful consideration and your support at the primary, to be held September 24.

We shall be pleased to hear from you at the above address. "Our candidate for executive member is Senator Eugene M. Travis. "Mr. Roberts, while he is leader, will be a leader with the old idea of running politics, political boss, a man who can dictate nominations by a close corporation.

Mr. Roberts has said 'If I can't run my district what is the use of being "Mr. Travis represents the new idea in politics, namely, that the only function of a leader is to act as a mouthpiece of the district, not to impose his demands, but to obey the wishes of the people. The Issue Is Governor Hughes. "The whole situation can be summed UD in these words--Hughes vS.

AntiHughes. Mr. Roberts is trying to evade the real issue, but everyone who is active in politics knows that the issue and the only issue is the continuance of the old and discredited system of politics for private gain, as against public interest. We believe that the Republicans of this district indorse the policy of Governor Hughes. Senator Travis has been a firm supporter ot the Governor, whereas Mr.

Roberts has privately done everything to oppose him. "Mr. Roberts made clear opposition to Governor Hughes when' Senator Travis, at the solicitation of many strong Republicans of this county, agreed to introduce a permissive direct nominations bill. The Senator consulted the chairman of the Committee and Republican County Leader, T. L.

Woodruff. Mr. Woodruff told him to introduce the bill. The following Saturday night Mr. Roberts, in the clubhouse, told our Senator that he would not stand for the introduction of this bill and dared him to introduce it.

He told Senator Travis that no Senator of his would dare introduce a bill to which he was opposed. When Mr. Roberts was questioned, he frankly admitted that he knew a mandatory bill could npt be passed. "The bill introduced by Senator Travis was a permissive one; it was drawn along the lines recommended by the Governor in his annual message. The necessity for passing this bill was stated the Governor in his call for a special session of the Legislature.

Senator Travis, although acting against the instructions of Mr. Roberts, believing that he was carrying out the wishes of the majority of those who elected him, introduced the bill and did all possible to pass the same. The Counts Against Roberts. "The permissive direct nominations bill is a prominent instance of the course followed by Mr. Roberts in regard to all the measures advocated by the Governor.

He opposed the removal of Kelsey; the Mayoralty Recount; the Public Utilities, and the Senate Reapportionment Plan. Mr. Robarts flatly refused to see Senator Travis when the Senator wished to consult him as his district leader, on a purely political matter, pertaining to his district. "We believe that the Republicans of this district want Daniel R. Coleman for alderman.

Two years ago Mr. Roberts supported his candidacy, he now says he is an unfit candidate. If you continue Mr. Roberts as leader, Mr. Coleman will 'probably not be nominated.

"Mr. Coleman demonstrated at the polls that he is a great vote getter. He ran far ahead of his ticket, and was defeated only because the municipal ownership people endorsed the Democratic candidate. Mr. Coleman accepted his defeat in a manly way.

He did not sulk, but worked harder than ever for the Republican party. The men who know Mr. Coleman believe that he is the proper man for us to nominate for alderman, and state further, that Mr. Roberts' reported statement to the press that Mr. Coleman has been a candidate for alderman several times is untrue.

Mr. Coleman 1s In entire accord with the policies of Governor Hughes. Vote for Coleman delegates at the primary. "We are a part of a municipal court district, and of the Assembly Districts participating in the choice of the judge to be elected; we have the second largest number of delegates In the convention. We believe that an effort should be made to nominate a man from our district.

There is no lack of competent lawyers among the Republicans of the Eleventh Assembly District. It is known that Mr. Roberts has refused to consider the question of placing a candidate from this district before the convention. Did Roberts "Make" Travis? "As a well known instance of Mr. Roberts' ideas of political leadership, we would refer to his course during the senatorial campaign of 1906, which resulted in the nomination of Senator Travis.

"Mr. Roberts first pledged his support to Mr. Travis; afterward, without informing Senator Travis, he pledged his support and his district to Senator Gardner, although he knew the strength of the sentiment against Mr. Gardner in the district. Still later, he repudiated Gardner; now he asserts that he 'made' Senator Travis.

"These are the reasons that a fight is being made against Mr. Roberts. We maintain that Mr. Roberts does not represent the Republicans in this district. We maintain that he is unalterably opposed to the progressive ideas typifled in our State Administration; that he is doing his utmost to restore and perpetuate 'bossism' in politics.

"Our candidate for executive member, Eugene M. Travis, is well known, his record against the bosses, and on every occasion when a question arose involving the authority of the bosses as against the Governor's interpretation of the public welfare, stood firmly with the Governor. "Senator Travis personifies the new idea of political leadership. He has no desire to become a political boss, and it is only under the conviction which has been forced upon a him that there is no hope of bringing the Hughes idea into operation in our district under Mr. Roberts, that he has consented to make the fight.

"We have no patronage, neither have we the control of any offices of any sort. Our position is that which has a been so clearly set forth by Governor Hughes, that future success and the welfare of the Republican party depend upon the enlightened and independent action of the members of the party. "We ask your support and your vote at the primary on September 24, for Eugene M. Travis for executive member." Both factions claimed victories at the caucuses of the Seventh and Eleventh election districts. As a matter of fact, both caucuses passed resolutions favoring the candidacy of Senator Travis for executive member, and indorsing his work in the Legislature.

Roberts attended both caucuses, shook hands all around and urged the support of all be met for himself. Fifty voters attended the Eleventh District caucus and a committee was apFred E. Lockwood, the distriet captain, Travis men were in preponderance, a and pointed to make up a list of delegates. who voted for Roberts in the nominating committee, was not allowed to name the committee on delegates. That work was given to Travis men, and the Senator came out victorious.

The caucus of the Seventh District upheld Travis with great gusto, and angered Omar Powell, a Roberts man, who made all kinds of charges about a' "snap" caucus. Roberts, was angry, for he, John F.

It has been definitely decided by the anti-Sharkey Republicans in the Fifth sembly District to nominate Jesse Fuller, a lawyer, who lives at 504 Hancock street, as their candidate for leader, to run against Robert A. Sharkey, the exnaval.

officer. Henry A A A A. Rich was for many days spoken of as Sharkey's likely A but announcement came from an opponent authentic source to-day that Fuller will make the race. There are strong indications that he will have the aid of the county organization, which has shown its attitude against Sharkey rather plainly. The Sharkeyites do not consider the throwing out of their leader's list of polling places a necessarily fatal blow to his chances of winning and there are many signs along the political way in the Fifth Assembly District that tell the antiSharkeyites to do some tall hustling.

WOUNDED HIS CHIN. While working on the gangplank leading to the steamship Benjamin F. Packard, lying at Erie Basin breakwater, John Burns, 50 years of age of 49 Nelson street fell to the deck and received a fracture of the left ankle and a lacerated wound of the chin.

Trommer, the wealthy young brewer who committed suicide Thursday evening, after a quarrel with his fiancee, by inhaling gas, will be held to-night at his late home, 24 Linden street. The Rev. H. S. Knaubenschuh, pastor of Christ Luthern Church, who had been engaged to marry Mr.

Trommer and Miss Belle Fontaine on October 23, will officiate. The Brooklyn Lodge of Elks also hold services and the interment will take place to-morrow. in Evergreens Cemetery. The services will doubtless be attended, as Mr. Trommer was the most popular largely, young men in the Eastern District.

The story printed in some of the morning papers to the effect that Miss Fontaine had not been allowed to remain in the house by George Trommer, brother of the deceased, at the time of the homecoming of Mrs. Trommer, the mother, was denied this afternoon. A very intimate friend of the family, asked about the matter, said: "Miss Fontaine spent part of the afternoon at the house and went out to return later. It was thought the strain on Mrs. Trommer would be quite enough for to bear if only with the members of her immediate family.

Miss Fontaine, accordingly, went to her home and will return to-day. She is as welcome as any member of the family." Miss Fontaine, who is a teacher in Public School No. 106, as told in yesterday's Eagle, was not at her home at noon to-day. She went out, accompanied by her mother and another woman, shortly after 10 o'clock, with the intention of visiting the Trommer home. One of Mr.

Trommer's friends said today that he thought his strange actions at times had much to do with the "break" between Mr. Trommer and Miss Fontaine. Both, he thought, had deeply regretted the falling out. Another person said Mr. Trommer had been "flighty" for a long time, the result probably of a nervous breakdown.

One incident which seems to bear out this statement occurred fully three months ago. Mr. Trommer was one of a party of men and women one evening when he suddenly sprang to his feet and declared that he was going to be elected to the Legislature in order that he might get after the labor unions. No man, seeking political office, rightly balanced, would be likely to expect to be elected after antagonizing the labor vote, it was pointed then. Some of those present at this time have observed young Trommer's actions since that time and hate noticed from time to time that he was a "bit peculiar." Members of his family knew Trommer was suffering from a nervous breakdown, and had tried to prevail upon him to forsake business matters and take a long rest.

He had repeatedly declined to heed this advice, saying that, as treasurer of the brewing company, he ought to be in the office. George F. Trommer, president of the company, sent this written statement regarding his brother to the Eagle last night: To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: In order to correct certain misstatements appearing in this morning's press, I wish to make this general statement: For a long time I had noticed the nervous condition of my brother, and repeatedly advised him to rest from his close application to the brewery interests. In fact, arrangements had been made for him to take a holiday next week. There was a slight misunderstanding with his fiancee; not serious, however.

The name of the young lady is not of interest to the general public. His family feel his death was due to his general overwrought nerves and close application to business. GEORGE F. TROMMER. INJURED HIS TOE.
