Invaded by Bluecoats on Strength of Indictments. EVIDENCE GAINED BY RUSE. Men Arrested Hustle Around to Find Justice, Who Admits Them to Bail. letic Club at the Rink last night by arresting most of the a visible officers and ring-side officials on bench warrants which came from the office of District Attorney Clarke on the strength of indictmenta secured from the Grand Jury. There might have been a suspicion that arrests would be made, for the stars of the boxing last night, who had been indicted, did not put in an appearance, but the principal officers were there and were ready to be taken into custody.

The gravit of the situation was not appreciated at first, for most of the men concerned thought that the arrests would be made a police court magistrate's warrant, and they were not prepared to face an indictment. The first man arrested was John Cantwell. who met Inspector Harking of the Ninth District, out on the street. on Vanderbilt avenue. He gave the inspector a cordial greeting and when Harking told him that he was under arrest 011 a warrant he cheerfully said: guess I can soon find a magistrate to take bail for me." "No magistrate can take bail this time." said Harkins.

The inspector. who had a lot of plainclothes and uniformed men with him, invaded the rink then and began to pick out other persons named in the warrants. There were eight or altogether, but only four in all were found. Inspector Harking had seven of the warrants and some had been farmed out to the dectective bureau and had been placed in the bands of Detective Roddy, who failed to serve any of those he had. Harkins soon secured Cantwell.

James Twyford, of 316 Union street: James McClusky, of 510 Lafayette avenue and David Sherrin, all either members of the efficial board of the "club" or employes. Lawver Grossman. of ex- Judge Fromme's office, tried to keep Inspector Harkins out of the rink last night. He snid he would bring the prisoners to him, and argued that the police had no right to invade the sacred precincts of the clubhouse. anyway, "You've me long enough." said the inspector.

"You're kept me cooling my heels out here on Vanderbilt avenue for a good many nights now. I have a warrant this time, and I want my men." Thereat he shoved the club's lawyer aside and got in with twelve patrolmen in uniform, a lieutenant and sergeant. The evidence against the club was gained by men who were drafted from other precincts by Borough Inspector Holahan. The borough inspector had in receipt of a number of reports from the precinct commander in which there were returns of "nothing doing" and no violation the law. Holahan picked out some men without telling anybody: gave them their instructions and they had 110 difficulty in getting tickets.

They had to become "metberg" of the club to do that, but they were members at 7:30 in the evening, and having paid their way into the rink for $2 each, were admitted to the inner circle without trouble an hour and a half later. They were there on the night of May 2. It is sol that the story of the lively night was told to the Grand Jury the other day by three of the police inspectors, and with other evidence the Grand Jury had no alternative but to bring in the indictments. The borough inspector instructed Inspector Harkins and Captain Cullen, the latter of the Classon avenue station, to make the raid last night. Two of Holahan's own men.

McGaughrin and Robertson, were in the ring and aided in the arrests. THEY SAVED DROWNING MAN Peter Green's New Rowboat Upset in East River. Tide Running Like a Millrace and Wind Blowing a Glale-Plucky Watchmen. Peter Green, who lives at Driggs avenue and South Second street, had a row escape from a watery grave yesterday afternoon, and it required the hardest kind of work on the part of two dock watchmen to rescue him. Green recently bought a new rowboat for summer use on Jamaica Bay, and had it delivered at the foot of South Sixth street.

Yesterday afternoon, he resolved to give the new craft a trial trip, but he picked out the worst time of day. The tide was running like a millrace, the wind was blowing a gale, and the river choppy from the swell passing craft. As soon as he reached the middle of the stream the rowboat capsized, and although Green could swim, it was with the greatest difficulty that he kept afloat in the swift current. He started toward shore, but was unable to make any headway. His cries for help attracted Frank McGrath, a watchman employed by the Bridge Department.

Without waiting to remove any of his clothes McGrath leaped into the water. He was barely able to reach Green, wao, by this time, was nearly exhausted. McGrath Sueceeded in keep'ng Green' head above water. and then he shouted tor help. His shouts brought Thomas Cahill of 143 Wythe avenue, who 13 a watchman empioyed by the Inte borough Ferry Colo pany.

EAST END BAY BUOYS MOVED. Shellfish Commission Reports to the Supervisors and Wants Offend. ers Dealt With. (Special to The Eagle.) Riverhead, L. May 17-Apparently some one going to get into serious trouble if more of the shellfish comalsy mission buoys in the eastern bays are moved.

The Suffolk supervisors are to get after the offenders with A sharp stick. It is said that the Bliss torpedo people of Brooklyn, who have a proving ground in Noyac Bay, are among the offenders; oystermen and baymen are others, according to a report made to the supervisors last night by Shellfish Engineer Halsey. He said he had located about 500. buoys so far and that many of them have been towed away over night, making new ones necessary. He suggested that the board do something to the offenders and the board said it would.

There are still over 100 buoys to set; then the work of marking the natural ground in the bays will be completed and the fact will be officially published by the board, to comply with the shellfish act pertaining to these bays. The shellfish engineer reported that the bays contained about 42.000 acres of natural ground for the baymen, and that about 42,000 acres of oysters were planted. There are over 100 miles of bottom marked by the natural ground buoys. NEW LOTS MEN AROUSED Will Send Big Delegation to Urge Disposal Plant Improvement. South Side KaffeeKlatsch Association Continues to Bother Trade Board.

The New Lots Protective and Taxpayers Association, a new civic body, formed quite recently to get for the south side of the Ward. improvements, met last night in Strang's Hall, 716 Hendrix street. The membership of the new association was increased by several men, and the proposition to improve the sewer disposal the foot of Hendrix street was discussed. The famous sewer constructed of discarded kitchen boilers, of which much has been said and written, came in for another mention by way of emphasizing the need for some real sewer and other improvements in the New Lots section. It was voted to send a big delegation downtown to appear before the New Lots local board, which Borough Hall to consider the improvement of the Hendrix street disposal plant.

The Aldermen will hear some plain talk from the taxpayers, and also from their friends, the New. Lots Board of Trade, which is headed by Jacob Hessel. There is a wide split among the civic workers of New Lots, but Jacob Hessel says he doesn't care much. The Board of Trade will keep on working in the interests of the community, just as it has been doing for many years. Maybe there will be a real civic war up there in East New York, because the South Side Kaffee Klatsch Association insists on making trouble all around.

The S. S. K. K. A.

recently sent the Board of Trade a very annoying letter. So far it hasn't played hob with the taxpayers association, and Mr. Hessel's adherents declare that if the S. S. K.

K. A. is lop- in its roasting they will get mighty suspicious. Just who belongs to the Kaffee Klatsch 19 a mystery, because the correspondent for that organization writes under a nom de plume and the president's name is heralded as quackler. The taxpayers professed last night to be blissfully ignortant about the whole business.

and several of them declared solemnly that they never even heard of the New Lots Board of Trade or its 11- lustrious president, Mr. Hessel, SHOT TWICE IN A GANG FIGHT George J. Gallagher Was Probably Fatally Wounded. Last Rites for "Newburgh George" Before Being Placed Upon Hos. pital Operating Table.

With two bullet wounds in his stomach, which will probably cause death. his George J. Gallagher, 23 years old, of 438 West Thirty-seventh street, Manhattan, known as "Newburgh George," a "cop fighter" and a member of the "Gopher gang," was taken to the New York Hospital early this morning. The police believe that members of the gang, in which there has been some internal trouble, are responsible for his wounds. Just before Gallagher was taken to bospital he was with a man whom the police say they know as "Marty" Brennan.

The latter started to explain the shooting, but Gallagher shut him up by saying: "I'll get you, Marty, if you squeal." Dr. Wilkinson, summoned from the hospital, found that Gallagher was in a serious condition. He was hurried to the hospital and before being placed on the operating table the last rites of the church were administered to him. For some time, the police say, there has been trouble in the "Gopher and members have threatened to get even with Gallagher. About four weeks ago he was shot at four times at Thirtyseventh street and Tenth avenue.

Policemen appeared on the scene before he got away and although he admitted that he knew who fired the shots he would not tell, saying that he would fight his own battles. PART OF FACE TORN OFF. Corona Man Horribly and Probably Fatally Injured in Sunnyside Yard, Long Island City. Timothy Martin of 43 Willow street, Corona. is in St.

John's Hospital, Long Island, in a serious condition, and the doctors there are doubtful it he will recover from the effects of an accident which happened to him in the Sunnyside on Monday afternoon, and in which vardos whole lower part of his face was torn off. He was employed by the J. W. Furguson Company of 352 Broadway, Manhattan, on the work of erecting buildings in the railroad yards. His duties took him about a stationary engine, and he was probably hit by a fast-revolving wheel.

Just how the accident happened no one knows, and Martin could not tell. His nose was ripped off, and SO was the chin and cheeks. He Was hurried to St. John's Hospital in an unconscious condition. THAT FAIRCHILD SERVICE right, in DISTINCTION.

"DON'T FORGET," SAYS GAYNOR Promise Is Conditional, of Course, Upon the Mayer Holding His Own Job in 1919. Mayor Gaynor this morning made a tentative appointment of a street cleaning commissioner to take effect nine years from to-day. Willie Wertheimer, 12 years old, enthusiastic of manner ani radiant face, is the lucky boy who is very, to be favored.

Willie and about sixty-five other of Public School No. 123, at Irving and Willoughby avenue, Brooklyn, called upon the Mayor at the City Hall this morning. They are all members of the Volunteer Aid Association of the Department of Street Cleaning, and they were introduced to his honor by Reuben Simons, the organizer, a blind man. All of the children wore the badges of the Street Cleaning Department and their shrill enthusiasm as Simons introduced them made the corridors of the City Hall ring. Mayor Gaynor smiled graciously upon the young enthusiasts and said: "I could never understand why the streets of Brooklyn were so clean.

But I can understand it now. But where are your white wings? I don't see your white wings." This happy bit of persiflage tickled the youngsters and they giggled and yelled in great delight. you keep track of the streets in Brooklyn," the Mayor continued. "Well, that is good. Teach the people not to litter the streets.

with paper and to attend to the garbage and refuse. Yes, you do "Do a great have deal of good," he continued, you a show every year?" Simons, to whom the query was d'- rected, said they did. "Oh, yes, we have a parade every year. and we 'are going to have one on July 6," Simons said. "Yes, I remember now." the Mayor said, "I used to see thousands of you every year.

You are doing a great work." Then, pointing to young Wertheimer, the Mayor asked: "What is your "Willie the boy in shrilled, greatly confused the honor of being distinguished from the rest. old are you?" Mayor Gaynor asked. "Twelve. sir." the boy answered. "Well, you will be of age in nine years," the Mayor said, "and it I am Mayor then, you come in to see me, and I will appoint you street cleaning commissioner.

Don't forget, now; come in and see me, and will certainly appoint you stree: cleaning commissioner." The children thereupon set up a great and Willie, very red of face and happiness shining from his eyes. piped a willing assent. Then they all went away after the Mayor had shaken Simons by the hand.

RIVALSOF GAYNORANDWESTON College Point Young People of Both Sexes Take Long Tramp Over Country Roads.

College Point can furnish a few rivals to Mayor Gaynor and Edward Payson Weston, when it comes to walking, and the honors do not belong entirely to the men, either. On Sunday morning, at 5:46 o'clock, a party of young people, composed of Herman Englehardt, superintendent of the College Point Post Office; Gus Klein, Edward Klein, Charles Isler, Miss Mary Ricker, Miss Evelyn and Miss Rose Stockinger, left that village and walked to Flushing, to Bay Side and to Douglaston, where they stopped for breakfast. After breakfast they walked to Little Neck, to Great Neck and on to set, where dinner was served. From there they went to Port Washington and thence to Roslyn, a distance of twenty miles. The party arrived at Roslyn at 7:45 o'clock in the evening, and had supper.

They then took a train for Jamaica and returned by trolley from that place to College Point. All of the party finished in good condition, and the women were SO delighted with the trip that efforts are being made to establish a women's walking club in College Point. J. J. RYAN DINED BY FRIENDS.

Many Pay Tribute to Brooklynite Who Sails for Europe. James J. Ryan, successful business man, clubman, automobilist, athlete and good fellow, is going to. sail for Europe to-morrow, to be gone ten weeks.

A tall, well dressed negro stole a circular studded with a solitaire diamond, $150 from the jewelry store locket, of William Wise Son, at the corner of Nevins street and Flatbush avenue, yesterday afternoon. Directly afterward Patrolman Francis Instone of the traffic squad arrested a negro who was fleeing from the place, much to the satisfaction ct Edward Brick of the jewelry store. The negro entered the store and stepped right up to where Mr. Brick stood behind the jewelry counter and asked to see a locket with a diamond in it. He wanted one that was heart shaped and he desired a very fine one, that he might give it to a very dear woman friend.

Mr. Brick was a bit suspicious of the man, and he did not, as is customary when customers are about, bring out the tray of jewels to permit the man to make a selection. The visitor was "miffed" at that. He claimed that there was discrimination because of his color. "Because I am a colored man," said he, "you cannot trust me.

Is it not the tom to put out the tray?" The salesman was touched at the plaintive declaration of the man and handed out the tray, There was not a heartshaped locket on it, but he said that, anyway, heart-shaped lockets were not much worn by stylish people just now. There was one locket, shaped like a coin, and bearing in the center a very fine diamond. It was extremely white and had a dazzle to it that was striking. The gold was of the "Roman," dull finish. The negro took it up and seemed to lay it back in the case again.

But he did a sharp bit of prestidigitation in the He palmed the gold and diamond bauble and put in its place a heart-shaped "Roman gold" finished bit of brass Mr. Brick saw the substitution, because he had been expecting it. "Wait a minute," said he, as he began to get to the outside of the counter. The negro did not wait. He fled into the street and dashed to Fulton street, with the salesman at his heels.

The thief jumped on a car that was passing down in the direction of the Borough Hall, and all the while the street was in commotion and there were shouts of "Stop Thief!" Two or three people, including an Eagle messenger, had tried to stop him, but he was fleet of foot, and dodged in a slippery way out of the grasp of everyone who tried to catch him. Then, when he got on the car, he made tracks for the front platform, evidently intending. to escape that way. It was then that Patrolman Instone, of the Traffic Squad, made the arrest. The officer nabbed the suspect and as he did 60 the policeman alleges, the negro dropped the locket on tne floor of the car.

The offer recovered the jewel and rook his prisoner to the police station. The negro described himself as James White, aged 45 years, of 12 Fleet place. He had on a new suit and new tan shoes, but he had' but 15 cents in his pockets. He denied that he had stolen the locket, but the fact that he was the only running negro in sight, and that the jewel was found at his feet, were against him. He was held this morning.

in the Adams street court, by Magistrate Tigbe, for further hearing. Lawyer Rufus Perry appeared as his counsel. TWO DIETERS STILL AT IT Mrs. Trask and Miss McKellar Eat No Solid Foods. Use of Animal Flesh, Mrs.

Trask Says, Is a Relic of a Barbarous Age. (Special to The Eagle.) Garden City, L. May 17-Mrs. Eeith Trask and Miss Marion McKellar, two of the three dieters who began a three days fast on water followed by diet on milk and orange juice last week, are sticking to their task with a determination to prove beyond dispute that the human race is eating too much and that existence without meats and other heavy food is possible. Miss Anne Townsend, the third member of the dieting party, who quit on Sunday, is equally convinced that dieting is good for anyone, but she is not sure that one can live without meats.

Miss Townsend is an unusually hearty girl, which probably accounts for her quitting when she did. "There is no doubt," said Mrs. Trask this morning, "that the human race can go without indulgence in the flesh of cattie. It is a custom of barbarism. Things have changed along other lines; why not in the line of foods? I suppose that if one advocates the giving up of meats by the races the answer to the argument would be that it has been in vogue for ages.

I am convinced, though," continued Mrs. Trask, "that human beings eat too much. I judge this solely from my own experience, and I never was a heavy eater. "The diet which we have indulged in has improved not only our general physical condition, but also our complexion. We also sleep fine.

I am in slumber nights the moment I touch my pillow, and have no indigestion to bother me and cause fitful dreams. I never wake up until morning and arise feeling better than I have for a long time." Mrs. Trask also vouched for Miss McKellar, who, she said, was in fine health. am subsisting mostly on fruits." said Mrs. Trask, "and find that they are very beneficial.

Miss McKellar sticks to milk and in addition partakes of a little broth now then. She also indulges in orange juice." Letters from various sections are pouring in on the dieters, some containing advice, others seeking it. One came from a Boston physician, who makes a specialty of dietetics. He advised the young women not to stick too closely to milk. ST.

The Meriden Company Silbersmiths (International Silver Successor) 49-51 West Thirty-fourth Street Carriage Entrance, 35th Street HOSPITAL WHISTLE ANNOYS Residents Near Seney Complain to Health Authorities. Dr. Kavanagh Comes Back With Tale of Piano Playing and Loud Singing. Fleet. $500 1910.

one serious of late Several complaints have been fled recently with the Board of Health against noise made by a shrill whistle at the gable of a one-story brick building between the west wing and the administration building of the Methodist Episcopal Hospital, in Sixth street, between Seventh and Eighth avenues. According to these complaints, this whistle many times a day disturbs the quiet of the neighborhood, the shrieking being particularly annoying on Sundays. The Rev. Dr. A.

S. Kavanagh, superintendent at the Methodist Episcopal Hospital, to said that the whistle was a necessary evil. Dr. Kavanagh remarked, too, that while it was undoubtedly true that the whistle was an annoyance to the residents, there were always two sides to a question, and that if the whistle disturbed some of the neighbors, there were also others who disturbed the hospital patients by piano playing and loud singing from open windows, sometimes until 1 or 2 o'clock in the morning. Situated as it was in the center of a residential section, Dr.

Kavanagh said, the hospital was in a position to have its patients very easily disturbed by singing and music, and he had 10 complaint to make on that score; but he thought it would be well that the residents, a particularly the ones making complaints, should realize that the hospital was not alone the offender. Dr. Kavanagh said that some years ago the interior system of bells and buzzers was used at the hospital. When a telephone message came from the police that an ambulance was needed, these buzzerg were sounded, a floor at a time or all the Moors at once, to notify the ambulance surgeon, busy somewhere about the building, that his services were needed on the ambulance. This system was found to be very unsatisfactory and it became necessary to install the whistle, WOMEN WORKERS HAVE FIGHT Employes and Outsiders Clash Near Cordage Company.

Police Seek to Break Up Row and Are Obliged to Arrest Three. Small outbreaks continue to occur between the former old hands of the American Cordage Company the present employes. Last night while some of the women mill hands were returning from work they were attacked by some women at Kent avenue and North Twelfth street. A general fight was in progress when the police appeared and most of the attacking party ran in different directions. Three of the women, however, remained and retused to move on when ordered to do so and were placed under arrest.

When taken to the Bedford avenue station by Policemen Thernton and Cosgrove, the women described themselves as Annie Pillaro, 19 years old, of 127 Kent avenue; Sophie Neziro, 18 years old, of 112 North Sixth street, and Pauline Enesky, 41 years old, of 68 North Eighth A street. The three were detained and this morning were taken before Magistrate Nash in the Bedford avenue court and charged with loitering. They were let go with a warning not to repeat the offense. Similar trouble broke out this morning on the Greenpolnt side of Bushwick Creek, for when the hands were leaving the American Manufacturing Company's plant, Arthur Donnelly, 20 years old, of 102 India street, was set upon by a former employe known as Teddy Molesky, who lives at 218 Freeman -street. Donnelly gave battle and Sergeant Meehan of the Greenpoint avenue station separated the pair and took them both to the police station.

In the Bedford avenue court this morning Donnelly was allowed to go, but Magistrate Nash fined Molesky $1. Former Congressman Thomas F. Magner represented the cordage company, and asked the magistrate to make it plain that, although the company did not wish to persecute the striking workmen, they must keep away from the plant. Judge Nash administered a reprimand along with Molesky's fine. PERSONAL.
