20 STILL MISSING AT JEANNETTE Twenty Bodies of Flood Victims Have Been Becovered Appeal for Aid. Jeannette. July 8 The search for bodies of victims of the Oakford Park flood progressing slowly, and scarcely anything has been done to clear up the wreckage that scattered for miles from 'Oakford Park down to Manor. This is duo to the scarcity labor and the absence of a duly constituted head for the work. Manager Best of the Western Land and Improvement Company has assumed charge, and has posted notices asking for several hundred men to assist In clearing the debris.

About twenty-five men were put to work this morning on a symtematlc search. The recovered bodies number twenty, with twenty still mlssslng. In looking over the valley which was wrecked by the flood It Is observable that great damage was done at a score of places. Aside from Oakford Park and the business center of Jeannette, tho greatest wreck ef property was In the low part of Penn Station, one mile west of hero. At least fifty families were made homeless.

They are the laboring people, and their household goods were all destroyed or washed away. No less than ten houses were swept off their foundations. All the flood-stricken people are moving away or have found shelter in the homes of their hill-top neighborhood. Mud and filth were washed into the houses, which will, more than likely, engender disease unless there Is prompt disinfection. Roland Merrill, treasurer of the relief committee, has issued an appeal for help, in which he says: "Five miles of populous valley, containing 12,000 Inhabitants, have been devastated by the flood of Sunday.

Jeannette, its sub urbs. Bonn Station and Manor, have suf fered particularly. Scores of families are homeless, many having lost everything, and distress Is widespread. Hundreds are in need of the necessities of life. Jeannette's Industries are at a standstill, and will be for months.

The needs of the situation cannot be met by local generosity. Outside assistance must be hud, nnd promptly. Three towns will share in the aid rendered. Hundreds of their people cannot help themselves. EAGLE OUTING TOURS.

The Trolley Explorers Stnrt on Their Sixth Excursion This Morning. The Eagle Trolley Explorers started on their sixth excursion this morning at 9:30 o'clock from Barclay street, Manhattan, the destination being Fort I.ee, N. J.

BROOKLYNITES IN BOSTON. Director Williston on Trade Schools. Other Interesting Work Done by the Teachers To-day. (Special to the Eagle.) Boston. July 8 The memorial of the New York City teachers, which the Manhattan and Brooklyn delegation presented to the convention, asking that something be done by the association to investigate and report upon the poor pay of teachers In other localities, was championed In the executive committee by President Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia.

The association decided to collect statistics and publish a report. This work was assigned to ft committee of seven members under the chairmanship of Carroll D. Wright, ex-United States Commissioner of Labor, now dean of Clark University, Worcester, Mass. On the committee arc Dr. Joshua R.

Olddings, professor of political economy, Columbia University, New York, and Principal William McAndrew of Brooklyn. This committee will InvestlgaLo in all sections of the country the cost of living, the salaries cf teachers, their tenure, freedom from political subserviency and such other things as can be shown to affect the standard of education. The report Is due In July, 1904. State Superintendent Will Trolley to New York City. Harry Towlc of the Boys' High School, Brooklyn, gave a copy of the Eagle's booklet, "Trolley Exploring" to State Superintendent of Public Instruction Charles R.

Skinner. The gonial superintendent has been mesmerized by the book and is going to New York by trolley car. Mrs. Skinner Is as enthusiastic over the idea as her husband. New York teachers are now urging the state superintendent to personally conduct a party over this route.

Ail day Sunday, Monday and Tuesday the lieadquarterH of the Ntsw York City delegation has been bombarded with demands for badges. The committee in charge designed and had made before leaving home a fine gray silver button, bearing the arms of the state. Chairman Gunnison has been boastfully claiming for his party the finest badge of the convention, but as the days have sped by tne buttons have failed to appear. Telegrams and special delivery letters have been speeding from the Hote) Brunswick in search of the missing package. At length an express agent In Brunswick, Maine, reading in the Boston papers the plight of the New York teachers has bethought himself of an unclaimed package received a few days ago and has forwarded It to headquarters.

The delegation Is now parading the corridors with shouts of "Badges? Look at us." Brooklyn Teachers Registered to Date.

(Special to the Eagle.) Oyster Bay, L. July IS A lease of real estate that has attracted more than unusual attention Is that of a tract of seventy-nine acres at Cove Neck by the heirs of the estate of Daniel Smith to W. Emlen Roosevelt, cousin of President Roosevelt. It was leased in self defcuse. The Iron Steamboat Company has a lease on the Laurelton Hall prop erty on Cold Spring Harbor, which was recently sold to Charles A' Peabody of Manhattan, trustee of the Astor fund, and who has also purchased the large property bc--longlng to the estate of Thomas F.

Youngs, adjoining, for his own use and occupancy. The Bteamboat company's lease expires with this year and, liking the location, they set about to find shore front suitable for a new landing. The Smith property was tho only one available and they began negotiations for it. The property Is bounded on the south by President Roosevelt's home, on the north by lands of W. Emlen Roosevelt, Albert Strauss and Sally Hutchinson.

It has only a few hundred feet of shore front, and Is very hilly, extending well back inland. The Roosevelts and others who had learned of the sale of the Laurelton property, and who had rejoiced at the early abatement of the picnic ground nuisance, were apprised of the negotiations and W. Emlen Roosevelt, representing his neighbors and also Walter Jennings of Standard Oil fame, nr. W. B.

James and W. J. Matheson, all of Manhattan, whose estates are lust across the harbor from the Cove Neck properties, and who are naturally Interested, proceeded to lease the property in question, with privilege of purchasing, and in so doing established a new record for Nassau County property such as the one In question. The price is to 00 an acre, or $142,000 for the tract of wood land with but little shore front. It Is the Intention of the parties Interested to purchase at and engineers will develop the tract.

PECONIC BAY CASE BEGUN. Over 50,000 Acres of Valuable Oyster Ground Involved Outcome of Suit Eagerly Awaited. (Special to the Eagle.) Rlverhead, L. July 8 The test suit brought by Southold Town to recover possession of the whole of Peconlc Bay and possibly Gardiner's Bay, on Long Island Sound, was commenced before Justice W. M.

Smith here at 11 o'clock this morning. The town Is seeking to oust Francis B. Parks and others from the possession of valuable oys ter lots In Town Harbor, Southhold, near Paradise Point, soroo sixty-four and one-half acres of land under water In all. It la conceded by the oyster growers that If this is won by the town, the latter will thus obtain legal possession to all of Peconlc Bay, a sheet of water containing about 60,000 square acres, and worth thousands of dollars to the town for renting purpose, to oyster growers. The case was opened by Counselor Asa A.

Snear for the town. who. In a very brief ad dress, explained to Justice Smith that while the suit wss in tbe nature of an ejectment. it reallv was to determine the outn bound ary of Southold Town, so far as water rights are concern-d. The suit Involves all of Great Peconlc Bav.

Little Peconic Bay and a por tlon of Gardiners' Bay. Exclusive of the islsnds contained In these waters, It Is estl mated that 60.000 square acres of land under water, nearly all of which Is sultaDle lor ovster culture. Is Involved. Larce Quantities of this land Is seeded with oysters. Ever since the land became valuable, various towns bordering on the bay have sought to impose a tax, the same as on upland, but a stiff controversy at once arose as to which town to tax them In.

At first It was supposed that Southampton Town and Southold Town each owned a part of the bay, and that a line should be drawn through the middle for the purpose of taxation. But It was later held thst old charters given by English kings over 250 years ago gave all of the bay to Southold, and this suit is to do termine whether or not such was the case. Erastus F. Post of Quoguo was the fir? I witness called. He Is a surveyor, and made a survey for the Southold Trustees of the land, mentioned in the ejectment stilt.

Mr. Post, being very familiar with upland and creeks, on both sides of the bay. was also closely questioned as to the location of certain points and the distance neiwcen them. A large number of maps were placed In evidence, and on these Mr. Post marked his distances.

Most of the morning session was taken up In placing In evidence a large number of both modorn sjid ancient maps. In fact, the court room looks like a book store. Tables filled with ancient, cobweb-covered, historical volumes relating to the bay are to be either qdoted from or placed In evidence. If the court decides one way, hi. of fi.rdlner's Bay will go to Bouin old In addition to Peconlc Bay, and this bay contains even a greater number of acres than Peconlc Bay.

The suit Is probably the largest ever hesrd In Suffolk County. Tho residents say the action will be fought out solely on Its merits. advantage will be taken of technicalities. Old Southold Town residents were giving an Interesting history oi nsning metnods when a reces. was taken.

SCHOOL PLAYGROUND OPENED. A playground and vacation school was opened last night by the Rev. Father Joseph Brophy, rector of the Church of Our Lady of Solace, West Seventeenth street and Mermaid avenue. Coney Island, and there was a large attendance. A big plot of ground.

80x 110 feet, ha. been leased near the church, and will be fitted out with swings and other amusements. Among those present last nla-ht were former Justice Owen P. Ptnnnrtv i m. i ohmi nn.

President Eliot's contributioa to the solution of this important edurationil question was especially emphatic in maintaining that the pertectlou of man aimed at by schools must be not a perfection for his own sake, but for man's active service to his fellows, his country and his times. Walter S. Goodnough. director of drawing and manual training in the Brooklyn public schools, spoke on "Craftsmanship In Educa tion.

In part he said: "As to teaching rratis In the schools, there no place for them, as special or particular forma of Industry, in the elementary schools at least: but this does not imply that vari ous forms ef weaving, basketry, pottery, metal or wood work may not be carried on In the schools, as valuable kinds of constructive work, allowing much Interesting, free and creative effort, as well as training in skillful manipulation of material. Basketry, for Instance, should be taught, not for the sake of the baskets, but for the sake of the children, and because, In the hands of trained teacher. It lends Itself readily to artistic, educational exercise, and appeals strongly to the Interests of the children, similarly with the other work Just referred to. "In the high school grades, handicrafts snd machine work may be introduced, as here both the art and the science elements should have place, and we must remember that the craftsman of to-day has both steam and electricity as his aids, and various fruits of science as well. Indeed, though handicrafts and household arts may appear our Courses as KlVlne morn free nersnrml and artistic results, the great problem for us to-day is to so train the individual as to make beautiful the product of the machine.

"The problem of what be done In manual or Industrial work is more readily solved In the case of the Manual Training High School than in the usual high school, with its classical, literary and commercial courses." "There are the gravest social and Industrial reasons for a true industrial art education In the schools, call it craftsmanship, you will, or call It by any other name. The gist of the whole matter is that to as large an extent as possible we should educate the child by 'doing by doing things worth while, and that appeal to his interests; and doing them in such a way as to develop his skill, his creative and executive power, his art Instincts and particularly, a love for and Joy in labor. In all this, there should be continuity from the lowest to the highest grades. A busy day was In prospect for the Teachers' Association members to-day. From 9:30 A.

M. to 11 P. M. each hour had its definite schedule, and beginning at 2 P. M.

there were many events crowded Into each sixty minutes. Not only were meetings scheduled for all departments, but there were exhibitions, lectures, open meetings, luncheons and no less than fourteen receptions between 5 o'clock and 11 P. M.

Thomas F. Oallor, bishop of Tennessee, were the speakers In the Department of Higher Education. The general topic was, "Shall the university concern itself more directly with the morals and manners of the students AMERICAN SAILORS FETED. Luncheon at Portsmouth to 1,500 Men of Admiral Cotton's Squadron. Toast to Roosevelt.

(Special to the Eagle.) South Jamesport, L. July 8 Ex-Register Hugh McLaughlin, the veteran Democratic leader of Brooklyn, and his party arrived at the Great Peconlc Bay House here last night. Thus ends all speculation as to where the famous boss and his followers will spend the summer, for Mr. McLaughlin announced that he was here for the whole season. That also means that South Jamesport will be the Mecca of many politicians of greater oi lesser magnitude during the summer.

In Air. McLaughlin's party were Mrs. McLaughlin, Mr. and Mrs. William C.

Courtney (his daughter and son-in-law), Miss Grace Courtney, Master Hugh McLaughlin Courtney, Mrs. James A. Roach (Mr. McLaughlin's daughter), Miss Mary Meighan and Miss Annie Judge. Mr.

McLaughlin's arrival had been heralded, and quite a party of summer guests and natives met him at the depot. He was accorded a most hearty welcome, as in former years. His headquarters for the summer season will be at the Great Peconic Bay House, the largest hotel at the resort. His suite of rooms is the same he has occupied nr bu many seasons tne best in the house. These rooms overlook the water oil all sides and opening from one of them Is a private veranda or balcony, where Mr.

McLaughlin can hide away for a quiet nap in a hammock or where he can entertain political or other irienus unaisturDed. Many prominent politicians have been so entertained In the past. Mr. McLoughlin and his party will occupy the same private table as in former years. Mr.

McLaughlin drove Immediately to his hotel last night and as soon as supper was over he was out on the verandas and strolling about in his favorite spots at the beach and through the village. He met many people whom he knew, both natives and guests, and he had a hearty handshake and cheerful word of greeting for all. To an Eagle reporter he said: "I am very glad to get back to my old summer home. It is very beautiful here and since last year there have been a few changes that make it pleasanter than usual', otherwise the resort looks very natural. Look at that lot over there.

The weeds have been cleaned out and the fence removed. It looks fine now. I noticed the Improvement before I got out of the carriage. I am feeling. fine and expect to enjoy my stay here very much.

Look at that bay out there," suddenly exclaimed tho boss. "The gentle southwest breeze and the boats so quietly riding at anchor form a picture charming enough to please any one. And the breeze, too, is Just salty and refreshing enough to satisfy the most exacting health and refreshment seeker," enthusiastically exclaimed Mr. McLaughlin. Mr.

and Mrs. McLaughlin both looked In exceeding good health and the spritely step and quick repartee of both further evidenced the statement that they were both fully prepared In health to enjoy their stay here. NORTH BEACH HAS A MYSTERY. There Are 17,500 Pennies Missing From a Resort There and No Clew to the Thieves. (Special to the Eagle.) Long Island City, L.

July 8 North Beach has a mysterious burglary. It happened about 2 o'clock Monday morning. Tho police heard of it Monday afternoon, and they told of It yesterday. A wrecked safe and the whereabouts of 17,500 pennies figure in the burglary. The strange part of It all Is that the burglars got In and out of a frame building without breaking anything.

The proprietor of the place declares that ho locked all the doors and windows, and. according to the police, he admits that not a lock was disturbed when he arrived at his establishment, on Monday. Frank C. Cutcheon. proprietor of a muto-scopc, Is the loser.

He has a place near the corner of Clifton avenue and the old Bowery Bay road. It is a frame building, one story high. Patrolman Day of the Seventy-fourth Precinct was on that post, and about 2 o'clock Monday morning he heard a sharp report, like that of a firearm. He blew his whistle and Patrolman Bergen answered the summons, and together they made a thor ough Investigation, but did not And anything suspicious nnd did not sec any one abou' Thoy both state that they Inspected Cutcheon'B place and that it was all right. The policemen reported the matter to the roundsman, and another search was made, but.

like the first one, it developed nothing that would throw light on the report beard ly Day. The safe was blown open, sure enough, and the police found a piece of fuse on the floor of the place. The proprietor said that $175, representing the receipts for the Fourth and Sundny, was In the safe, and that It was aP In pennies. It is admitted thnt 17,500 pennies would make a pretty comfortable load for even two men to get awny with at night time, especially as they blew open the safe and policemen were not far off. The police are Investigating the case, but it seems deep In mystery.

Victory at Last. The circumstances attending the arrest of William B. McManus, at the apartment house, 154 Garfield place, on Monday morning, were told In the Eagle yesterday, but not so completely as the private detective who chased McManus to Maine would wish. As usual, the police claim all the credit for the arrest of the man, but the story of the capture involves the Interesting anecdote of Detective Edward Orr of Brooklyn, who had been employed by the surety company which had bonded McManus to find the missing auditor of the Central Fish Company. The detective was engaged Immediately after the discovery that there was a shortage of $50 on the books of the concern.

McManus had told the president of the company that he thought the $50 was locked up a safe of one of the branch stores, of which he did not have the combination, but shortly after that he disappeared and the suspicions of his employers were aroused. McManus lived, as has been said, In a hsndsome house at 630 East Eleventh street, this borough, in a house that his wife had built with a portion of a recent Inheritance. The couple had not been living happily and they had agreed to separate, Mrs. McManus raising $1,200 by mortgaging her house. With this money she went to Denver, for she had not been in good health, and the understanding was that she was to stay away a year.

McManus disappeared from his house soon after and letters that Mrs. McManus sent from Colorado were unanswered. Then she sent telegrams, but got no. word through them, and finally she communicated with the local police, and on the theory that McManus might have committed suicide in his house or that other harm had befallrn him the police, authorities made a search through tho house. They found that he hud taken his best clothing away and that he had left In a tin box papers that were of value to his wife only.

There was no explanation to the local police, who did not know then that there was a warrant out for his arrest, for the warrant was in the hands of Officer Herrllch of the First District Court in Manhattan and had been Issued by Magistrate Flammer. In the meanwhile Detective Orr had been busy. Ha secured possession of some of the private papers of the missing man and found among them some money order receipts signed by Mrs. Alice Dwyer of North Somerville, Mass. The detective went at once to North Somerville, reach Ing there last Friday.

He found that Mrs. Dwyer, described as an attractive, light haired young woman, had been divorced from Mr. Dwyer, and that she had a friend in New York who had been visiting her and had been sending her $25 a week. This friend wns described to tho detective. He fitted the description of McManus to a dot.

But McManus' salary was but $30 a week. Not much to spare for him and his family it there was a weekly draft of five- sixths of it to another woman. The detective began to get light on the case. He found that Mrs. Dwyer had been stopping at the home of her friend, Mrs.

Ingalls, at 620 Broadway. North Somerville, and he went there and had an agreeable visit with Mrs. Ingalls and her daughter Mabel, another Impressive looking and viva cious young woman. Mnbcl and the dark haired young detective got along very well together, indeed. He represented that he was a friend of "Alice," and he learned that she had gone away and married "Billy," and was In New York, somewhere, on her honeymoon.

The news thnt "Billy," who was also known to the Ingalls folks as McManus, was married to Alice Interested the detective very much. He visited again at the Ingalls house after having a nice little walk with Mabel, admired very much a picture of Alice that was on the wall of the sitting room, told the people that tho picture did not flat- ter her. although he nnd never seen her In his life, and Incidentally found out much more about Billy and Alice. He learned that the name of Alice before her venture with Mr. Dwyer had been Alice Dolloff, and that she came from Kennebec flounty, Maine.

The nivalis prupic nun uti impression tnat sne would go to visit friends in Augusta, when ingalls people had an impression that she she got back from her trip to "York It struck Orr that he was wssting time In North Somerville with the very aereeahle Ingalls woman, and he shortly struck out for Augusta. which Is In Kennebec County His parting with pretty Mabel was oulle na. thetic, for they had become very good chums on a dny's acquaintance; but he cheered her by saying that he aould return some time during the summer. Having the maiden name of the woman he sought, Dolloff, ho thought he had the key to the situation. Dolloff was a queer name and he argued that there could not be more than one or two Dolloffs in Kennebec.

In that he was mis taken. When he reached Augusta he found that there were scores of Dolloffs, snd for a time he was puzzled to loesta the Alice branch of the family His search took him fnr afield, for there WfT0 at Bellegrnde Lake, where Anna an(1 husband are summerlna: at Watorvllle. at Gardner and at where tne Mate soldiers and Sailors Home Is lo cater. He drove something like elxhty miles on Saturday Inst, visiting; as many of the Iiollofls as he could nnd spending his Fourth ns he had least expected to spend It. HlR out'st took him to the Soldiers Home, for there was a Dolloff there, and he found this partlruhir ward of the stnte actively cm- ployed in a potato race, for the veterans were having a celebration and Fourth of July games.

a furnior st West Mount Vernon. Mc, and that nnybc Mr. Orr might find out something about Alice there. It wns a hot drive to West Mount Vernon, but Orr got there all right and found Mr. Carr.

He told the farmer thai he had corns from Boston to see Alice, and that he was one of her very good friends. "That's too bad." said Mr. Carr, pltlngly. "Alice Is away on her honeymoon. She got married to a millionaire fish merchant of New York and she has gone back to New Vrti.k lth mv wif i- lwirn thoy gn MpMt to bn hark here on Monday or Tuesdny." Orr asked where they were when Carr had last heard from them and found out that they were staying with a friend, whose name he gave, at Garfield place.

This was the Information the detective had been seeking. He posted back to Augusta, reach ing there on B.indny. and at 8 o'clock thnt I night he managed to get a connection over the long distance telephone with locnl police headquarters hern. He talked over the miles of wire to Sergeant Frank Foster, then In charge of the office at the Smith sireet headtpmrters, and told him to send officers at once to the Oarfleld place house 1') get McMnnns. As a matter of fact, four and one half hours had elapsed before the arrest wns made by tbe local police.

When Orr found that out on his return to town late vesterdav he wns angry at the delay, although as a matter of fact his msn had i heen rumored.
