Ifew Jail Is to Cost Hence the Economy Move Officials' Bills Among Those Pruned. (Special to the Eagle.) Klvcrhcad, L. November 11 Shortly after approving the plans for a new jail, which with Its water, lighting, heating and sewer plants, will cost In tho neighborhood of- $175,000, the Suffolk supervisors yesterday developed an economic mood and began to either hew down bills or throw them out bodily. The first was a bill for $130 sent by County Judge Grilling as legal services for six months to the county treasurer. "Sent to the county treasurer for explanation," was the ultimate fate of the bill, end Judge GrifBng's mail yesterday afternoon did not include a draft for this bill from Clerk Flugrath.

Coroner Savage sent a bill of $283 for foes in a number of cases, included in which was a charge of in the Geb hnrdt matter. The bill was reduced to and paid. Dr. A. J.

Rosanoff of Kings Park for warded a bill for $100 for performing tho autopsy and exemaning tho stomach of a Huntington Italian named Frank Anun- iato. who was found dying on the high way three weeks ago, and who later died without regaining consciousness. The board refused payment temporarily. In discussing it members said $50 for such a job was enougb. Dr.

Gordon Gibson of Brooklyn sent a bill for $25 for assisting in tho same autopsy. After some hag-(ling this was paid. Coroner William B. Gibson of Hunt ington wrote statement regarding these two bills. He said that the examination of the contents of the Btomach showed morphine poisoning; that the deed man was.

last seen with one Tom Prlsco; that ho was suspected of administering the poison, because the (lead man was robbed of $200, and that a warrant for Prisco's arrest had been issued but lie had not yet been found. The board objected also to the payment of a bill for $04.80, sent by Henry Werpupp of Newark, the chief witnen3 against Gebhardt at the coroner's Inquest. Mr. Werpupp had charged for expenses and for a per diem of $10 a day for five days. This last item was considered excessive, but a letter from him stated that he could have made mors than that if he had stayed at home, and another letter from the district attorney stated that the man was a most material witness, and as he waB without the state, the only way to get him was to pay him a per diem.

After reading these, the board allowed the bill. WALLER WAS IN A HURRY. Chauffeur Arrested for Speeding With Bridal Party Had Urgent Business in Brooklyn. Though he was driving a wedding- party, and was In a hurry to get home besides, because his wife had Just presented him with another little Waller, John E. Waller, chauffeur, who.

lives at 3f6 Seventh avenuei Brooklyn, was arrested at One Hundred and Twenty-second street and St. Nicholas avenue, Manhattan, last night, charged with reckless driving, taken to the night court and fined by Magistrate Corrigan. The bridegroom, win) recently resigned from the police force, accompanied him to court and paid his fine. Waller had as passengers John J. Fletcher, Mrs.

John J. Fletcher and Thomas Fletcher, brother of the bridegroom and best man. They were being driven home to 32 West Sixty-fifth street, from the wedding the location of which the police did not learn and were in a hurry. So was Waller, who explained thai, if it had not been a wedding party, be. wouid not have stayed for the finish, on account ot tho telegram he proudly exhibited from his home in Brooklyn.

Fletcher protested strongly against the arrest, and Mrs. Fletcher, blushing, pleaded, hut the policeman took them nil to the West One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street station. There the lieutenant permitted Waller to take the bridal party home on his way tn the night court, and Mrs. Fletcher bade her husband go along and help Waller out ot his predicament. He did.

OYSTERMEN NOT ALARMED. Growers on Island's North Shore Fear No Monopoly by Badel and Hkx His Associates. (Special to the Eagle.) Greenport, L. November 11 Local oystermen are discussing to-day the purchase of the oyster lands in the Great South Bay from the Smith heirs by Andrew Radel and a company of business associates for a sum said to have been between $300,000 and $400,000. While it is generally known that Mr.

Radel has bought out the Standard Oyster Company of Greenport r.nd New Suffolk, L. and South N'orwalk, there has been much speculation as to the price paid. An Eagle. reporter was told to-day that Mr. Radel paid for the Greenport plant $350,000, including steamers, oyster grounds and shore plants in the several villages.

The Greenport oystermen. however, arc not alarmed as are. their South Hay colleagues, because the local oystermen own their land, the same as Mr. Rade does, and it cannot be taken from them. The local shippers also own their own seed grounds in Connecticut.

The oysters are grown there and transplanted for growth, the same as they are in the Great South Bay. Should Mr. Radel complete a monopoly of the Great South Bay it is probable that the South Bay will move their plants to Greenport, where the land may be bouKht outright in small parcels of from an ai re upwards. BOARD POSTPONES ACTION. Jamaica Bay Improvement Too Vast for Present.

The New York Guard of Trad" anil Transportation, at its monthly meeting. at. 23 Broadway, Manhattan, yesterday afternoon, postponed action ou the report cf its committees on terminal facilities and on canals, in which the improvement of Jamaica Bay as a harbor was held to be too vast an undertaking to be attempted within the near future, and tho use of the bay for a terminal lor the barge canal was Impracticable. The action of the board was in compll-nnce with a request made by Charles C. Copeland, who was unable Jo nttcml lite meeting on account, of illness.

Mr. Ccpc-lund sent word that he had good reasons to advance again.it the of liic report. AS IDE NEXT PRES I Long Island Townsmen and Farmers Serenade Mayor-Elect at His Country Home. FLAMES AND CHEERS AT FETE. Successful Candidate Outlines His Policies and Praises Work of Alfred E.

Steers. (Special to the Eagle.) St. James, November list. James burned tar barrels last night pnd brought out its fire department in honor of Mayor-elect Wlllliam J. Gaynor, who was hailed the "next President of the United States." Mr.

Gaynor modestly refrained from replying to this enthusiastic prophecy, but ho did refer to hat had been done during the campaign, and also what he meant to do as mayor. He told the assembled boys, who with the Are department were crowded uo to tho very steps of the stoop, that he. too. had onco been a boy. He had, he satd, no idea then of tho honor in store for htm.

It was a sight refreshingly unusual to city eyes. St. James has not street lights of any sort, save such as filler through the windows of the widely separated houses, and the occasional glow of lanterns as the villagers or farmers pass to and fro. Many of these farmers trudged miles of country road last night to attend the parade and serenade. The assemblying point was in front of Sam Gould's hotel.

The Eagle Hook and Ladder Company was on hand. The band from Central lsllp also was there in full regalia. Last, but not least, there was present Frank De Mott and Ike Jewell, two local characters ot considerable renown. Fiery Parade Circles Gaynor Home. The nature of the country made it impossible to have a very lengthy parade and still keep it within sight of Mr.

Gcynor's home, and so the processiou carrying colored lights, simply circled the mayor-eleet's yard, proceeding down Main street to the general store, up G.iyuor's lnne to Moriches road, and then Into the yard and up to Mr. Gaynor's stoop. Ths ccmmitt.ee of six, who arranged the serenade, stumbled hurriedly up the steps, and each shook Mr. Gaynor by the hand. The village cannon was then exploded and the villagers cheered.

Three skyrockets and a "nigger chaser" also were discharged during the festivities. "Well, this looks a little like New-York, Mr. Gaynor said as the reporters emerged from the darkness into the circle of lights about the stoop. "You are all here." The committee men having disposed of the solemn duty of shaking Mr. Gaynor hy the hand, rangeu themselves on either side of the mayor-elect at attention, with the grand marshal of the parade, J.

V. Burgvin. William S. Lawson, the speaker of the evening, decided to give way to the Rev. Edward Abbey of the Smithtown Presbyterian Church, who formally congratu lated Mr.

Gaynor. Mr. Abbey called Mr. Gaynor tho next President of the United States, and the farmers cheered. The minister was not sure whether Smith-town was now an appendage ot St.

James or vice versa. Mr. Oaynor Btood loyally by St. James. "When you become the eendtdate tor President you" will get a solid vote from St.

James," Mr. Abbey said. Mr. Gaynor rallied attention to the fact that, during his seven years of residence in St. James he had become known to all the villagers and surrounding farmers, and that he was in speaking acquaintance even with the bovs.

Mayor-Elect Was "Bad Boy," He Says. too, was a boy once," he said. "I was probably worse than you boys, for 1 know you are all good boys. You all know, too, that I was mayor of Niseonset before I became mayor of New York. I would bo satisfied to be.

mavor of St. James. "When I was a country boy, worse than these, boys here, I never dreamed I would b'i entering efflce under such circumstances as these. Much less did I even expect to go through what I have gone through in the past month. You all know I did not want to be mayor.

I had nn office that satisfied my ambition, but man proposes and God disposes. "The truth is I have been a drudge all my life, and I am now entering on four more years of drudgery. I have never tried to do anything great. I have just tried to do what came to my hand." At this point three cheers were given for the next President. "I suppose I will have to make Ike Jewell police commissioner," cried the judge.

"How long will Hearst have to live here to get this?" shouted a voice. "1 suppose If he brought all his newspapers down here he might carry St. James," responded the judge. Mr. Gaynor was Interrupted during his talk by woman on the lawn, who Insisted she had come from New York to see the judge, and she asked for three cheers.

They were given. "Let us put our hats on or we might catch cold," Mr. Gaynor suggested, after which the band struck up and the sere-naders marched to the home of Richnrd H. Smith, the newly-elected city court magistrate, who lives at Nlssequogue. Judge Smith's house serenaded, the judge being away.

The celebration concluded in a dance. Judge Caynor announced this morning that Judge Alfred E. Steers, the newly-elected borough president of Brooklyn, had been one of his callers durln- the week. Mr. Gaynor said in referring to Mr.

Steers' visit: "Judge Steers visited me. I know him very well. I have known him since He was a young man. His uncle was my friend and supporter In Flatbush years ago." SENATOR REYNOLDS' DINNER. Celebrates His Victory in Getting Remaining Long Beach Lands.

Bendernagel, Once the Right Hand Man of H. 0. Havemeyer, Gets Out. OTHER EMPLOYES GO, TOO. Government's Investigation of Customs Frauds Is Real Reason Back of the Change.

James F. Bendernagel, the head of the office force employed In the Kent avenue plant of tho American Sugar Refining Company, has resigned, and H. H. Morgan, formerly of the Philadelphia plant of the company, is now In charge. This change was announced this morning by Arthur Donner, vice president and treasurer ot tho American Sugar Refining Company, at his office.

117 Wall street. "There is nothing exciting about the change," said Mr. Donner, this morning, It is but a minor position, something like a chief clerkship, don't you know "But it is one of the changes directly due to the recent disclosures of crooked weighing methods in vogue on the East ern District docks, is it not?" "Well, yes," was the reply. "Dr. Sam uel C.

Hooker, who Is one of our direct ors, a technical man from Philadelphia, Is now In charge, and he has been engaged in reorganizing the force under him. As you may imagine, a shake-up In the plant was sorely needed. A terrible condition of affairs existed there which even we knew nothing of, and we have worked during the investigation in complete har mony with the district attorney." Despite the fact that Mr. Donner deprecated the importance of the position held by Mr. Bendernagel, It can be stated on competent authority that during tho life of H.

O. Havemeyer no one in tho big Eastern District plant stood so close to the head of the so-called trust as Mr. Bendernagel. Ho grew up with the busi ness and he is now in possession of number of complimentary letters written him by the late Mr. Havemeyer.

A fow months ago Mr. Bendernagel was plump and in apparently the best ot health; but to-day he is haggard looking and thin, as though he had gone through a terrible siege of mental anguish and pain. With the resignation of Mr. Bendernagel are those ot John James, chief engineer. and William Slemlng, chief of construc tion.

These resignations follow close on the heelg of those tendered last week by Ernest K. Gerbracht, superintendent of the big plant, and Frank Wenzel. his confidential man. And these in turn fol lowed the dismissal of Oliver Spltzer, who was In charge of all of the docks. Spltzer was one of the first men to be Indicted In the recent Government Investigation and prosecution by which the truBt was compelled to make restitution to the Gov ernment.

In referring to the Sun's alleged exnoae of the thievery of the trust through cus toms irauaa Air. Dinner said: That is all old stuff, two veora nil I don't see why the Sun should bring it up at this time again. It's all about those crooked scales on the docks. All that was settiea long ego. A great manv neonlo are of the impression that we ought to he eager to defend ourselves.

I ssaure you we arc The orooked scales were Condition. weret uncovered that were terrible. The. disclosures were nnit as much of a surprise' to us as to the public. We have no ilefen offer; don't you know." Government Mulcted in All Sugar Shipments.

From other than official- ttw Eagle has acquired some knowledge of the process ot weighing and passing sugar through the customs house. The Eagle's informant for-manv years un tn idiwi won actively engaged in the sugar transporta tion company, and he made the bald statement this morning that the eovern- ment was always mulcted on every shipment of sugar received at the port ot New York. The mulcting was not onlv done through short-weights, but also by crooked tests. According to this man. not mora thun ten per cent, of the basrs.

barrels nr hogsheads of sugar are weighed out ot any one consignment. He said that it would be a physical imnossibllltv to weigh each and every baa- or even larire fractions of the total shipments that aro received. Bags weigh anywhere from 116 to 130 pounds and hogsheads anywhere from 1,500 to 2,000 pounds. From the weighing of ten per cent, of the original packages in which the raw sugar Is contained, an average weight for all of Vns bags Is ascertained. "We used to give our cooper anywhere from J10 to foO per consignment," Bald the Eagle's informant, "to hand out to the government weighers so that thev would scale down the average weight.

A half pound or a pound knocked off. a beg would mean a great saving in the entire consignment. We never kept anv record of the money expended in this way, and there Is absolutely no way of proving where it went. We always more than recovered it. however.

In figuring the duty we had to pay." CHURCH SIXTY YEARS OLD. First Presbyterian Society Has Had a Long and at Times a Checkered Career. The First United Presbyterian Church, South First and Rodney stroets. of which the Rev. G.

be had at Slii Putnam av. Editor John A. Heffernan Says Its Mission on Earth Has Been Accomplished. NO INQUEST HELD AS YET. The Borough Hall Flag Has Not Even Been Ordered at Half Mast.

Coler's Bulletin is dead. It died some time between its last appearance and to day, of suspended animation or inanition, It Is hard to determine which. The coro ner may hold an Inquest, if he can dis cover the remains, but, In the words of one of the chief mourners, "There ain't no remains." It Is not known whether or not there will be a public funeral, as the parent of the Bulletin was not in his office to-day when an Eagle reporter called to find out about the funeral services. He may have been prostrated with grief, but he did not order the flag on the Borough Hall to be placed at half-mast. The editor of tho Bulletin, John A.

Heffernan, when seen this morning, was, with all due feeling of respect for tho departed, in a rather merry mood. He seemed relieved, if such an expression is proper on such a sad occasion, that he had been freed from the task of trying to keep the child alive. Of course, he did not say so; but, on the other hand, he did not display the grief which might have been expected. He was resigned that the "The purpose of the paper has been ac- compnsnea, he announced. "What purpose?" "The purpose to offset the continual mis-statements in regard to public affairs made by the Brooklyn Daily Eagle.

The Borough President started a couple of years ago or so to ask for greater appropriation from the Board of Estimate for public improvements In Brooklyn. The Eagle said that he wanted to increase his salary lists Instead. So he decided to publish a paper which could be sent to those interested In public improvements and to improvement societies and which would toll the truth. That purpose haa been accomplished." "Then the Eagle has reformed?" asked the reporter. "Well, as t-j that I don't know, but the necessity for the publication has gone by.

The object of the misstatements is being removed, and that's all." 'Would you care to say anything- about ine unancial eonditionrjf the Bulletin?" Mr. Heffernan was asked. "Nothing at all," wns the reply. With bowed head the reporter wended his way over to the surrogate's office to find out if any will had been filed. It was learned that what estate was left by tho Infant of two years and six months was to go to Washington Irving Vanderpoel and Cartoonist Munson of the former staff of the Bulletin.

They are empowered to go ahead with the good will of the deceased and Its oircidotion lists and facilities and get out a paper. But this paper will be named The News Letter and while it makes Its appearance weekly, as did the late lamented, in the words of Vanderpoel, "ft will be "M0ur a newspaper." DEATH IN SCALDING STEAM. Superintendent Arrested Following Fatality In Glendale Hat Factory. Two men. John 'Wheeler, 50 years old, of 244 Railroad avenue, and John Kurz.

16 years old, of Lafayette avenue, Glendale, L. were scalded to death while at work in the detached boiler building of the Samuel Mundheim Hat Company, at 1 Carlton avenue, yesterday afternoon. Wheeler was an engineer and Kurz was his assistant. Edward Tlerney, a fireman, had a narrow escape. A few days ago the piping of one of the boilers got out of gear, and it was found necessary to make repairs.

In order to do this the men were engaged. The men had started to work on the third boiler when, in some way, the scalding steam poured out. Fireman Tlerney made a heroic attempt to shut off the connections that were literally dealing death to the two men. He managed to turn the steam oft, although his hands and face were blistered. When the steam" had subsided, he found the two men dead on the top of the boilers.

Charles Delker of 41 Ralph street, who was said to be In charge of the work, was arrested by the Flushing avenue police on a charge of homicide, was taken before Magistrate Xash. in tho Myrtle avenue court, to-day, and discharged.

Dr. Alexander was born here thirty years ago, and has been married about five years. A man who owns a fine coffee plantation in Jamaica said; "Four years ago I discovered that coffee was ruining my health; and I quit and have been using Postum ever since." Experience taught this man that he could not drink his own high-grade coffee. Its active drug Caffeine irri tates the nervous system, inter feres with digestion, and troublti is sure to follow. Some folks may take the hint and change to Postum.

It is absolutely free from drugs and, when well made; that boiled 15 minutes, it has a dellM cious taste similar to the mild, high-grade Javas, with the natural vital food elements of the field grains that repair the darn-age done by coffee.
