Warren He Is for B. B. T. Use of Center Street Loop. ij I Aftf YEl GETTN'HEATl It is not very' pleasant, -when one has been married for eight years to a wealthy man, to have the neighbors going about gossiping that one has not been married at all to that man.

So thinks Mrs. Margaret Cecelia-Dunn, wife of Peter B. Dunn, the well-to-do horso owner, who lives at 762 Ocean avenue, and Mrs. Dunn writes to The Eagle F. S.

Landstreet, president of the New York Dock Company, stated to-day that he believed a corporation could be organized to operate successfully a ferry service between Brooklyn and Jersey City, providing terminals could be secured. Ho furthermore stated that he would Join a group of five or six men. If such a group coulu be assembled, to form a ferry company. Mr. Landstreet did not doubt that such a corporation could be formed, and accordingly considered tho prospects of reestablishing the ferry service blight.

The first important step which Mr. Land-street deems necessary is somo definite action on the part of business Intereats in both Brooklyn and Jersey City toward securing tho terminal facilities. It is asserted by another man in close touch with ferry and transportation business in and around the city, whose name cannot bo disclosed, but who is well qualified to express an opinion, that "a ferry from Brooklyn to Jersey City would pay. and pay well." Asked whether he had any idea of the causes which contributed to the loss of about $30,000 annually, which the Pennsylvania Railroad claimed it suffered in running the Annex Ferry, ho stated that from observation and study of furry conditions, costs, revenue, he could easily explain it. "In the first place." he said, "the Pennsylvania maintained entirely too costly an organization In operating this ferry.

It employed about fifty or sixty men. I understand, on the two boats and at the two terminals, in reality only about half that number would be necessary to run two boats for sixteen hours a day to accommodate all the freight, vehicular or passenger traffic using a ferry to Jersey City. $2,000 a Month Could Be Saved. "In round numbers, a saving of about $2,000 per month could be effected over the expenses that the Pennsylvania must have bad. This is of course, only in the operating of the boats.

I understand that the railroad company had to pay iffTim asking that her gossiping "friends" be in formed, once for all, that her husband has "never been married to any woman but his present wife." It Is like this, explains Mrs. Dunn: There never was any church wedding. She and Peter B. Dunn just roamed over to Hoboken, talked it over with a Justice of the peace, and then they got married. Lots of other couples have done that, and the legality of the ceremony has never been questioned.

Mrs. Dunn Bays she has a certificate and Is prepared to produce It If necessary. But it is not to be expected that she is going to get paste-pot and paste and stick the certificate on tho front of the house at 762 Ocean avenue. According to Mrs. Dunn, the rumors started because her husband has been receiving letters from "another woman." Mrs.

Dunn, a handsome woman of 28 years, Is nearly twenty years her husband's Junior. Consequently, when Mrs. Dunn was only a child, at her home in Ireland, Peter B. Dunn was in his youth, and it was then that he knew this "other woman," as ho himself says. The letters he has been getting from her, Mr.

and Mrs. Dunn both declare, have contained demands for money, though on what grounds the Dunns say they do not know. This woman Is living in Greenwich street. Manhattan. The fact that she was, sending letters was learned by some of Mr.

Dunn's enemies in Parkville, and they promptly started the stories, says Mrs. Dunn, that shs, Mrs. Dunn, was not really Mr. Dunn's wife at all. "This other woman is nothing to me," Mr.

Dunn said. "She has sent me letters demanding money, but I have never given her a cent, nor do I Intend to." "Is Mrs. Dunn your wife?" an Eagle reporter ventured to ask, feeling as though he was taking part in one of George M. Cohan's plays. "Mrs.

Dunn is my wife," replied Mr. Dunn, which was the very answer that the reporter somehow had expected, to get. Mrs. Dunn in her letter to The Eagle says that "Peter B. Dunn and wife are" noted horse people on Brooklyn's speedway, he being the owner of Borelli, the great Poser King of the Manhattan and Brooklyn speedway." MOTHER KILLED BY GRIEF.

21 Dec. 21 Receives a Heavy Sentence and 19 Denounced by Judge for His Crime. (Special to the Eagle.) December 22--Tlie first conviction secured in the history, of Bridgeport courts in a case of whiteslave traffic was reached yesterday afternoon, when John R. Carroll, aged 23, a singer, of 523 Putnam avenue, Brooklyn, was sentenced to not more than five and not less than three years In the Connecticut State Prison ut Wethcrsfleld. A Jury returned a verdict of guilty on, two counts, Involving 18-year-old Ruth-Dressel.

a manicurist, of 232 Moffat street, Brooklyn. Judge Lucien F. Burpee of the Criminal Superior Court suspended sentence on tbe second count. He scathingly arraigned the young prisoner, declaring it hard for a worse crime to be Imagined the one he had committed in luring tho woman away from home to this city. The discovery of Carroll's crime came through tho efforts of the Dressel girl's' mother, who learned through letters ot the girl to friends in Brooklyn, that her daughter had come to Bridgeport with Carroll.

As a result ot the mother's visit to Bridgeport, Carroll and the girl were arrested, the house where they -were found was raided, the proprietor sentenced to Jail and the liquor and hotel license revoked. Ruth was committed, to the House of the Good Shepherd, a Catholic protectorate at Hartford, where she was held as a witness. Last night she went back to Brooklyn with her mother. Apparently she was repent-. ant for the part she played in the esca-pade, and vouchsafed most complete testimony as to her relations with Carroll from the time they first met, September 11, until their arrest, October 1.

Carroll is a dapper youth, slim, tall, nattily dressed and well spoken. He has betn variously employed as a concert hall singer, motion-picture theater singer, liim salesman, and he boasts of his ability as a song writer. Miss Dressel testified that two days after their fir3t meeting Carroll told her of his poverty, and she gave to him a locket and chain, which ho pawned. First she believed Carroll to be single, but later he admitted he was married and claimed his wit was seeking a divorce. Carroll's wife eu- listed herself with the Dressel girl's mother when Carroll was arrested, and woM have been at the trial yesterday, it was stated, had it not been for her delicate condition.

Carroll and she have been married less than a year. "STONY PASTURE" IN BROOKLYN Robert Reid's fine landscape, "Stony Pasture," that Is on exhibition at thd Montross Galleries, Manhattan, has been bought by Herman W. Vaugha of 200 New York avenue. Brooklyn. Mr.

A rti, name engineer In the Department of Bridges, he hnB heen about $12,000 a year for use of the Fulton street Blip in Brooklyn, besides the two per cent, on the net earnings paid to the city. On the eupposition that free or nearly free landing points could be se cured in both cities, the operating of the ferry and maintenance of the property would be the principal cost. This would not in my opinion be as great as the revenue and' consequently the business would pay a profit.

"I believe also," he continued, 'that tho charges for the transportation of vehicles over this route should be a trifle higher than that charged by the Pennsylvania, as the haul to Jersey City is a long one and the -wear and tear on the boats is consderable. Larger and heavy boats, too, should be used to properly accommodate the large and heavy trucks which use this route. With econ omical and experienced management.

Men Ignore an Order to Stop Work. Springfield, December 22 The general order for a strike among the rail road expressmen of the American and Adams Express companies of this city, to begin at 6 o'clock this morning, was Ignored by the employes. Both companies reported that everything was gonig on with accustomed regularity and that the men were working even harder than usual to move the heavy Christmas trade. Reports from Westfleld and Holyoke indicate that the express company employes there reported for work as usual to-day. No strike of Adams or American Express Company employes was reported here this morning.

"No end of water-power to supply electricity exists along this railway, which supplies the connecting link between the upper and lower Congo. At present, two days are consumed in making the trip from Matadl to Leo-poldville, and this slow transportation is given as an excuse for extortionate freight rates. There has been a uhak-lng up in the management of the Belgian corporation that owns the line and better service is promised, in addition to electrification.

It will soon be as easy to go to Stanley Falls, in the heart of Central Africa, as visit the Victoria Falls on the Zambezi. Speaking of the Zambezi, I last night finished reading the new lite of Cecil Rhodes by Sir Lewta Mitchell, one of "the empire builder's'' close friends in South Africa.

CORONA HAS A MYSTERY Woman Who Gives Fictitious Ad- dresses the Central Figure.

Found at 4 A. M. in House at Corona. Had Steak and Potatoes Clutched Under Cape. There was arraigned In the Flushing police court this morning a woman whom the police regard as a mysterious person.

She was found at 4 A.M. to-day in the home of Mrs. Josephine Bedell! at 166 Corona Corona. Mrs. Bedell! was In the kitchen of her home.

She heard the front door close, and rushing out of the kitchen, saw a strange woman entering a sleeping apartment upstairs. Believing the stranger was about to kidnap one of her she gave an alarm and a policeman came and took tho woman Into custody. At the Btatloti house she gave her name as Mrs. Marie Tarmcllo, and also gave three or four different addresses one of Corona, two iu the Bronx and a fourth in lower Manhattan. All these, the police claim, are fictitious.

The woman wore a cape and over her head what Is called a nubia. Under the cape she carried a good sized piece raw steak and a quart of potatoes. These she said were given her by Italian people in Corona, from whom she begged them Detective Caputo of the Italian bureau In Brooklyn is at work on the ease. The woman was arraigned as a suspicious pl-rson and sent to Jail until Saturday. She told Miss HW-key, the court probation officer, she lives at 5-14 East One Hundred and Forty-ninth street, Bronx, with Mrs.

1'arles. and asked that the latter be notified. This will be done. She said she had given other addresses because she did not want her friends to know the plight she was In. The woman seems to be about 50 years, old and speaks fair ESTERDAY.

was the shortest period of daylight known in. this latitude during the year. It was, likewise, one of the dullest news- days in many months. Apparently, nothing that interests New Yorkers happened. I was lamenting this dearth of subject matter for a "Talk" as I rode home in one of the pay-as-you-enter cars, when I noticed some worda painted upon the front door oftthe car.

The legend read: "This way out!" Thus does the management of that Manhattan! company' plan to take on its patrons at the rear of Its cars and to shunt them out at the front! It does not intend the and the Jam, is so great that they cannot retrace their steps. If they would. How the schoolboys would hail such a sign at the bottom of every page of 'rithmetic. Under the caption, "This way out!" he'd rejoice to find solutions for all the difficult problems. The utter use lessness of most puzzlers in the higher arithmetics would justify such liberality in assistance to the pupil.

Only last week I looked over some questions Bub mltted to condidatos for positions as assistant paymasters in the United States navy, end I have no hesitation in saying that some of them were as ridiculous as that propounded by the lamented Uns-worth of the burnt-cork stage: "If flour be $4 a barrel, how soon can an elephant climb a lightning-rod?" When the grown-up scholar enters college, how glad he'd be to have the shortest, easiest route to a degree indicated by a finger-board reading "This way out." Apparently, the course could not have been so difficult for his predecessors. How elad he'd be if someone would only explain to him the ablative absolute, or the mystery or tne oistriDutea miaaio, ut show him how to find the forty-third term of a mixed equation raised, to the seven-tv-eiehth nower. bv means of the bi nominal theorem. To some of these dark passages there Is no way out. Entering a business career, unknown and untried, every young man would welcome a guide-board to his conduct and progress.

He'd be stronger of purpose, more confident, were the way to the front made plan. Errors of Inexperience, and, later, of judgment, would be avoided; the path toward success would be less treacherous and ultimate success reasonably assured.

These latter, criminals should tie dealt with to the extreme limit of the law. A few prompt convictions exemplary sentences would put a stop to this brutal species of crime. An especially revolting case occurred in Brooklyn yesterday and the miscroant, who had poured oxalic acid down the throat of a poor beast, was caught. If the no-called Socte'y for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals does not belle Its name, it will see that this fellow is prosecuted and if possible convicted. 1 The killing or maiming of dumb animals belongs to a species of barbarism not sanctioned since the Dark Ases.

In war, cavalry share danger with men; but owing to the difference in size, many more animals than men- lose their lives in a charge of mounted trbopers. The barbarian who would deliberately take the life of a horse is not fit to live. He ought to be thrown into a pit with a wild horse who would tramp the llfo out of his worthless carcass.

II as far as all Brooklyn, divorced from MnnhflH.ii IVio i- utuu.i ana ia CUH- t-erried. i The plan Is a specific relief for Brooklyn. Mr. Lane is one of us; a Brooklynite as far as ties are concerned, he is a city I official our servant, as some would have St.

A member of no board of trade, tax- payers organization, allied with no rail- I road or other interests, therefore abso lutely unhampered by any partiality or I prejudice, furthering tho advantage of no monopoly, honest competitor or real estate development. He has shown hiB i ability by Increasing tho possible number of trains and cars operated over thl Brooklyn Bridge within the past four pears, and, from his position there, should lio better ablo to judge, better than anyone else, what Brooklyn needs and can get. The plan does not stand in the way of any subways which are now pending or building. He insists that subways must bo built; but more than this, an im mediate relief is absolutely necessary and (possible. He would utilizo to tho fullest advantage what already exists, namely, I itho idle Manhattan Bridge and Centre etreet tunnel, rearrange the elevated traf- Hie by diverting some of tho lines from the overburdened Brooklyn Bridge, now again at maximum capacity, and bring them to tehir destination by straighter end shorter routes over the Williamsburg end Manhattan bridges.

Tho scheme will permit the operation of fully twice as many elevated trains between Brooklyn and Manhattan and re dure the running tirao on each line on pome nearly to half. The scheme differs from all others in that but little new (work Is necessary. Wo have the ele fvated lines in operation; tho bridges are built; the connecting subways almost ready for use; within a year all the necessary construction could bo completed and the new schedules operated. The Kaglo could do no greater benefit to Brooklyn than demanding relief from the Brooklyn Itnpld Transit Company and the Public Service Commission. If these two cannot come to en agreement, then It's about time the people got someone who could do things besides draw up tentutive schemes, as our commission, KOBEHT E.
