The presence of mind of Mrs. Joseph J. Zoeller. of 408 Suydam street, yesterday afternoon, saved her own life and that of her seven-months-old baby from drowning in Jamaica Bay. Mrs.

Zoeller and her husband, with two friends, Laurence Maxner and Barbara Geiss went to Canarsie vesterday morning for a rowing outing. They spent the afternoon cruising about the bay and as nightfall was coming on pulled for the shore to disembark. When they reached the landing pier of Philin O'Connor. Zoeller assisted Maxner and Miss Geiss to step fromt he boat and then reached for his wife. Mrs.

Zoeller is quite a woman and bin as she stepped on the side of the boat it gave a sudden lurch and threw her off her balance. She raised the child above her head and threw it from her toward the party on the pier, then toppled head foremost into the water. She could not swim. When Zoeller saw that Miss Geiss had caught the baby he plunged into the water. He caught hold of his wife 85 she rose te the surface, but a heavy swell from a passing vessel submerged both of them and carried them up against the pier.

A party of fishermen from Harlem succeeded in getting the man and woman out of the water. 13TH GOES TO FORTS 85 PER CT. UNDER ARMS Col. Austen to Command at Ft. Wadsworth; Col.

Appleton at Ft. Hamilton. HEAVY ARTILLERY DIVIDED. One-third on Each Side of Narrows, the Rest at Fort Schuyler--Start in Trolley Cars. With 85 per cent.

of the regimental quota in uniform and under arms, the Thirteenth Regiment, Coast Artillery, left Brooklyn this morning to participate in the joint maneuvers at the forts along York's coast line. Col. Austen's command will remain at forts for a period of one week, during which time guardsmen co-operate with the army and navy practice will, el of scheme artillery mapped for out the by defense Uncle of Sam's the coast chief line. The regiment will be divided in three parts between Forts Wadsworth, Hamilton and Schuyler. Contrary to general expectations, the colonel, staff, non-commissioned staff, band, field music and hospital corps left with the command.

Col. Austen, with the department heads and regimental staff, reported for duty at Fort Wadsworth, as did also the battalion of the regiment, consisting of Companies and with the addition of Company under the command of Major William A. Turpin. The Second Battalion, consisting of Companies and with staff and non -commissioned staff officers, eight members each of hospital corps and field music, under the command Major Charles 0. Davis, went direct to Fort Hamilton.

remaining three companies of the regiment, and with six members each of the hospital corps and field music, under the command of Major James T. Ashley, went to Fort Schuyler. While Colonel Austen will be in command of the National Guardsmen at Fort Wadsworth, which has been designated as the headquarters of the regiment, Colonel Daniel Appleton, commanding the Seventh Regiment, will have command of the state troops, including six companies of his regiment, at Fort Hamilton. The men of New York's only coast artillery regiment were up and about early this morning in expectation of an early start for the scene of the maneuvers. Long before the hour fixed for the departure of the regiment from its armory at Putnam and Sumner avenues, the men were at their various posts of duty and at the appointed hour the regiment moved out of the armory in clock-like fashion.

The customary plan of marching to the various points of transportation was abandoned this year and the men were loaded into a long line of trolley cars. Shortly after 8:30 o'clock everything was in readiness and Colonel Austen gave the command to move forward. The long line of cars were kept together and crowds of spectators formed quickly along the route of travel to watch the rather imposing spectacle--Colonel Austen's idea of moving a regiment. Colonel Austen and his staff officers occupied the first car. Then came the regimental band, the feld music and the three battalions.

For the greater part of the route the line of soldiery a remained unbroken, but as the guardsmen approached the down town section of the borough the battalions separated in order to go direct to the most convenient point for transportation. The regiment will return to Brooklyn on Saturday next. 7TH STARTS FOR FORTS. Marches Out of Armory, 900 Strong, With No Sign of Disaffection. In heavy marching order, and with no sign of the reported disaffection in the ranks on account of the general order which sends them to Forts Hamilton and Wadsworth in the Narrows for their biennial encampment instead of to Peekskill, the Seventh Regiment, nearly 900 strong marched out of the Armory at Sixty-seventh street this morning.

The week at the forts necessitates the spliting of the regiment up into two sections. This means the fracture of another Seventh tradition, and was reported as the cause of marked bitterness in the ranks. But the men got away to their duty without showing it. dordaya Lydecker, one battalion will be quartered at Fort Wadsworth on the easterly shore of Staten Island, and under Majors Fisk and McLean, two other battalions went over to Fort Hamilton across on this side. The regiment went down the bay in government boats, which they boarded at the foot of Sixty-fourth street.

They left the armory promptly at 9 o'clock and exDeet to disembark at or before noon. With Colonel Appleton at its head the regiment tramped out of the armory, down Park avenue to Sixty street. They kept to Sixty-fourth street, clear over to the river. "JIMMY MEN'S" BIG HAUL. Loot Apartments of James H.

Miller, on Madison Street, and Steal Valuables Worth $1,000. Another big haul was made by burglars in the Bedford section yesterday afternoon. The "Jimmy man" is too wise apparently to always carry on his work the same hours and in the same precinct, for yesterday he changed his field of operations to the Ralph avenue precinct, where he made away with over $1,000 worth of booty from the apartment of James H. Miller of the Water Works Department, at 691 Madison street, between the hours of four and six. The "jimmy man" is now making a specialty of apartments left vacant during the afternoon by their occupants.

He jimmies open the main hallway door, marches calmly upstairs and jimmies open the door of the apartment he has discovered to be vacant. The "Jimmy man" who jimmied the hallway door at 691 Madison street yesterday and forced open the apartment door after considerable diffeulty, as the many marks of the jimmy indicate, is the burglar who 1 has some musical knowledge, for it was apparent that one of the objects of his search WAS a very valuable violin over 150 years old. This is the property of Mr. Miller, but fortunately he had sent it to storage, because the steam-heated rooms of the apartment were not good for its tone. Not being able to secure the violin, the burglars made a careful selection from Mr.

Miller's valuable colection of violin sheet music. Such musle always demands a ready sale in second-hand music stores. The burglars lost 110 time in looting the entire apartment. They packed up forty -three pieces of cut glass, Including a number of large, bulky bowls and a fruit jar of very beautiful design, presented to the couple by Congressman Calder. They packed up all the table silver and took as much other silver as they could And and pack.

The robbery was discovered by Mrs. Miller. when she came home about 6 b'elock with her little baby. NO NEWSPAPER BUYING FOR SENATOR MCCARREN 'I Never Felt It My Duty to Act as a Public Conscience," He Says. STRONG DENIAL OF A CANARD.

Senator MeCarren to-day denied flatly a report published in the New York Tribune that he had purchased the New York Daily News newspaper. Senator McCarren said: "You couldn't hand me a newspaper on a gold platter, it I had to run it. I have no ambition along that line. I realize the great power of the press for right or wrong but I have never felt it my duty to act as a public conscience.

The commencement of the graduating class of the Academy exercises, on Lafayette avenue, opposite Tompkins Park, were enjoyed by a large number of their friends last night. Charles N. Chadwick, the president of the board of directors, presented fourth grade academic diplomas to J.

Curtis Acevedo, Grace Boeckel, Walter Burn, E. Burchan Clark, Annie L. B. Green, Enid Pendleton, William S. Rhoades, Helen V.

Tooker and Glenfield S. Young. The diplomas are equivalent to grammar school certificates. The boys of the class are planning to enter Poly and the Manual Training High School in the fall and most of the girls will go to Packer. The good standing of the Froebel Academy is indicated by the fact that Miss Green, Miss Pendleton and Miss Tooker have passed up work in advance at Packer and expect to prepare for Smith in three years.

The principal of the school, Miss Harriet E. Moore, who has been connected with the Academy for the past twelve years, presided over the commencement exercises for the last time last night, for she has resigned her position, much to the regret of her former pupils and friends, in order to accept a position in one of the private schools of Manhattan. Her successor will be Dwight Ralston Little, who is at present a member of the English department of Poly. He is a graduate of Williams. and New York University.

It was the purpose of those in charge to make the programme given by the graduates last night an outgrowth of the actual work done by the students during their last year. During the latter part of the term, the class has centered its attention in literature upon Tennyson's "Idyls of the King." Consequently the major part of the programme consisted of papers and recitations showing the results of this work. Willie S. Rhoades read a carefully prepared paper, "A Sketch of Tennyson's Life." This was followed by a paper by Walter P. Burn on "The Life of King Arthur." E.

Burcham Clark recited passages from "The Passing of Arthur," and Grace Boeckel read a paper on the story of Gareth and Lynette. Enid Pendleton, who has a keen delight in Latin, read a paper, "My First Year of Latin," and explained why she was fascinated with the subject. Glendeld Young, who delights in history, dwelt in his paper upon the settlement and growth of Jamestown. J. Curtis Acevedo was class historian; Helen V.

Tooker, class prophet, and Annie L. Green, valedictorian. There were many delightful musical numbers on the programme furnished by the pupils. Enid Pendleton and J. Curtis Acevedo played a duet from Zitterbart, Merry Skater." Annie L.

Green played the violin solo "Simple Aveu," by F. Thome. Enid Pendleton also gave a piano solo from Emery. "Voices of the "Delight of Spring" and "Fairies Lullaby," and other songs by well known composers were sung with charming effect by the class as a whole. The last as well as, perhaps the best, number on the programme was the singing of the "Class Song of '07." This was composed by Helen V.

Tooker and the music was written by Annie L. Green and Miss Douglas. The class officers were L. Green, president: Walter P. presiAnnie, dent: S.

Rhodes, secretary; Curtis Acevedo, treasurer. 700,000,000,000 FEET. Every person in the United States is fusing over six times as much wood as he would use if he were in Europe. The country as a whole consumes every year between three and four times as much wood as all of the forests of the United States grow in the meantime. The average acre of forest lays up a store of only to be laying up at least 30 cubic feet in 10 cubic feet annually, whereas it ought order to furnish the products taken out of it.

GOVERNOR WILL PROBE QUARANTINE OFFICE Charges Made Against Commissioner Schroeder Will Probably Be Dismissed. CASE AGAINST HIM WEAK. But Hughes Thinks the Department Has Been Run in a Slovenly Manner. (Special to the Eagle.) Albany.

June 8--Governor Hughes has taken no official action in the case of the charges against Quarantine Commissioner Frederick H. Schroeder, of Brooklyn, and will take no action for the present. The Governor refused to-day to discuss the case. but it was learned on reliable authority that the charges brought against Schroeder by his one time superintendent. Milligan, will be dismissed.

This does not mean' that Schroeder will be reappointed to the office he now holds. In all probability he will not be reappointed. Schroeder's tenure of office expired on May 25, and he is at present exercising the duties of Quarantine Commissioner as a hold-over officer. The indications are that he will be permitted to hold his office and draw his salary for several months to come, until the Governor under the authority conferred by the Moreland bill. which will soon become law, finds an opportunity to investigate the quarantine department.

What will occur at that time depends entirely upon what the Governor finds out regarding the conduct of the department under Schroeder. It is agreed by all who were present at the hearing of the Milligan charges that although the Milligans, father and son, made a weak case out against Schroeder, Schroeder himself made a remarkably poor witness for himself. He became so hopelessly tangled in his attempts to account for his financial management of the "Standard Gold Production his own company, that even Judge Brenner who was doing his best to help Schroeder, retired to the next room to smoke. Lawyer Sanford, 'the Governor's personal counsel, who conducted the examination, was merciless in his probing a and the net result of the hearing was a strong impression in which it was clear that Sanford. shared, that the department was on being conducted in a most slovenly manner.

Under the Moreland bill the Governor will have authority to make a personal investigation. It is the present belief of those who are in a position to know, that the Governor intends to investigate the department and that only Schroeder but all his subordinates will have great difficulty to convince him that they have conducted the quarantine work in an efficient manner.

"Day before yesterday, right out in front of the hotel here," said the landlord of the tavern at Polkville, "a nice looking grass widow met a feller that had been going with her some, and fired three shots at him, one of which tore off considerable of his south ear as he was rapidly going east.

I was settin' on the porch at the time, and saw it all, Scott!" ejaculated the washing machine agent, pricking up his ears eagerly, "unless it is a matter that you don't care to discuss. I wish you would tell me what, in your opinion, was the lady's reason for such an act?" "Well, I teckon," was the ingenuous reply, "that she was mad at him. Of course, she mightn't have been--you can't tell much about women, you knowbut that's the way it looked to P. Morgan, in Smart Set. TO RESTORE STEALINGS TO E.

B. HAVENS CO. Family of Bookkeeper Who Brought About Failure WIll Supply the Money. FIRM WILL RESUME BUSINESS. No Prosecution of the Thief Is Likely.

His Family Prominent and Wealthy. Following close upon the disclosure that the firm of E. B. Havens was wrecked by an employe, comes the news that the family of the bookeeper who is suspected will good all the stealings and the company will be able to resume. Mr.

Havens, who is a Brooklyn man, living at 23 South Portland avenue, has been assured of the support of the chief creditors, and he hopes soon to have his Stock Exchange house on Its feet. The bookkeeper who is said to have wrecked the company will not be arrested; that is, he will not be arrested provided his relatives make good their promise to pay an amount equal to that which was stolen. The family is one of prominence and wealth, and its members are anxious to make compensation for the bookkeeper's stealings, and avoid the notoriety that would be attendant upon an arrest. It was not until after the failure that Mr. Havens knew that trusted employe was really responsible for the bad tinancial condition of the company.

When experts were put to work on the books they made discoveries that proved both shocking and surprising to Mr. Havens. "The disclosures made by the experts were a shock to me," said Mr. Evans. "There were things going on of which I and all the others in authority were ignorant.

The books are in bad shape, but their condition and the failure of the house cannot be charged against any member of the Arm. "The assignment was not due to any transaction or act on the part of a memthe Arm. I don't want to go into details, but the assignee can make a broader statement." Mr. Havens said he did not think criminal prosecution was contemplated. He said his creditors had shown a generous disposition and had expressed the hope that he would start up again.

"I cannot say what will be done until the examination of the books is said Mr. Havens. The assignee, Robert L. Norton, who was an employe of the company, did not deny that there had been a large defalcation, but he would not say whether the amount was $100,000 or more than that. He said that the experts were still at work on the books and he could not tell until the examination was completed Just what amount had been taken.

"The three expert accountants at work on the books have found gross irregularities," said Mr. Norton. "Further than that I don't want to say at this time." "Will there be an arrest?" "I don't think there will. I believe that complete restitution will be made and that the company will be able to resume business." The creditors of the company have held a meeting and appointed committee of five to represent the creditors. Clinton S.

Harris and J. Adolph Mollenhauer are the Brooklyn members of the committee. The committee is waiting for the full report of the expert accountants. At the creditors meeting the most generous spirit was manifested toward Mr. Havns.

The creditors present at the meeting were all glad to give him every opportunity to resume his business. It is expected that all the creditors will join In the move to facilitate the resumption of business by the company. SAYS EXPERT IS TO BLAME. Coler Refuses to Throw Out Hamburg Avenue Bids and Advises That Charges Be Preferred. By way of replying to the charges made by Controller Metz's building expert, who advised some days ago that the bids the Hamburg avenue public bath be thrown out and the contract be readvertised with changes, because but one concern, it was alleged, could supply the materials called for, Borough President Coler to-day wrote to the Controller that he would not throw out the bids and suggested that charges should be preferred against the expert, whose name he does not reveal.

Coler's consulting engineer, R. W. Creuzbaur, made an investigation and reported to the Borough President that there was absolutely no foundation for the expert's statements, subbuilding, written to the superintendent of baths, Joe Lawrence, by some of the bidders to prove his contention. Mr. Coler suggests the preferring of charges against the expert because, be alleges, the expert appealed personally to Superintendent Lawrence before officially reporting the matter to have the bids thrown out "on another ground." According to his report, the expert called on numerous contractors and quotes their representatives as saying that they could not supply certain materials demanded in the specifications, the report altogether inferring that the plans and specifications were so made up that there would be only ate Diner the running." Mr.

Creuzbaur reported, after his investigation, that the statements of the expert were unfounded in fact and suggests that the contract should be awarded to the lowest bidder. He scouts the idea that there was no fair degree of competition possible under the specifications advertised. INDEX To Classifled Advertisements In day's Eagle. CLASSIFICATION.

Parvin Harbaugh who says he is owner of $100,000 worth of stock of the Hollis Park Company has brought an action through F. 1. H. Van Vechten, attorney, against Artemus Ward, William Gow and Artemus Ward, to have set aside a sale of the company's property made by the defendants as trustees by auction at the Brooklyn Real Estate Exchange Sales Rooms on last which sale the entire property company was struck Thursday, down to the defendants for $150,000. The sale, it is alleged in the complaint, was advertised only three times in an inconspicuous manner in a daily newspaper, hence few or none other than the defend.

ants were present and latter bought it in at their own figures, which, it is said are far below the real value estimated by the plaintiff at over $759,000. It is set forth in the complaint that Mr. Gow and the Wards, who own a large block of the company's stock at a stockholders' meeting, held April 11, by their own affirmative votes decided to wind up the company's business and elected themselves trustees to carry out the undertaking of getting control of the property and that in May the trustees above named decided to sell all the holdings at auction and advertised as above stated. In the advertisement it was alleged that the property was subject to a mortgage of $65,000 and to a paving contract with the Barber Asphalt Paving Company amounting to $80,000. The plaintiff in 1 his alleges that the mortgage of complaints been reduced according to a report made February 14 to $39,866.44 and in fact the last named amount had been largely reduced since February 14 by sales that have taken place since that date.

It was also set forth in the advertisement that the company held twenty mortgages amounting to $25,050 executed by purchasers of its lots. The plaintiffs say that this amount should have been put at $45,650, and that a mortgage belonging to the company of $1,350 was recorded June 1, and that on June 7, the day after the auction sale of company's property to themselves, the defendants recorded four other mortgages amounting to $18,000 executed by lot purchasers, making a total of $65,000, constituting a part of the assets of the company. It is stated in the complaint that the property owned by the company consists of forty-five acres subdivided into lots and plots around which an iron fence has been built, streets have been asphalted, sewer, gas and water mains and electric light wires, conduits and pipes have been provided, and the value of said property, according to the list price issued by the Hollis Park Company October 19, 1900, was $638,100, aside from other property reserved from sale amounting to that sales aggregating $269,180 have been made upon which $25,133.56 cash has been paid and other payments are being made and murtgages given. The plaintiffs ask also that the defendants be removed as trustees and be compelled to account for all the property, and that a receiver be appointed to take possession of the property, and that sale be held under the direction of the court and the proceeds after the payment of debts be divided pro rata among the stockholders. SCHWARTZ SAVED TULLY'S LIFE Martin Tully, aged 27 years, and Charles Schwartz, aged 28 years old, are in the Brooklyn Hospital suffering from burns on the body and arms, and are glad that they are aliye.

Tully shortcircuited two wires carrying 6,000 volts, in the power house of the Edison Electrical Illuminating Company, at the foot of Gold street, and his escape from instant death is miraculous. Both of the men were employed in the place and late in the afternoon Tully, while working in the power house, fell against the wires. Instantly there was a flash and Schwartz, who was nearby, realizing what had happened, threw himself in the direction of the flash, hoping that he would hit Tully and throw him away from the contact. He did, and both of the men fell unconscious to the floor. Ambulance Surgeon Tousey took the men to the Brooklyn Hospital, where they revived and each fill recover, it is thought.
