At the time of his death he was in command of the Twelfth Inspection District, covering Jamaica. James F. Nally was appointed a patrolman on June 1, 1877, and remained a patrolman until November 5, 1881, when he was made a roundsman. December 16, 1896, he was made a sergeant. He took the examination for a captaincy and his being a veteran placed him the head of the list.

Nally was then on duty in Staten Island and was in disfavor with Devery administration. Therefore, although at the head of the list, he was not promoted until he had gone to the courts and determined his rights, and the appointment as captain dates from June 9, 1902 During the time Nally was in command of the West One Hundreth street station. his son conducted a saloon close to the station house, and in a mix-up was supposed to have shot his man. He escaped, and for some little time there was the strange situation of Nally's detectives and patrolmen being on the lookout for his own son. When Nally was examined for an inspectorship, his Civil War record again placed him at the head of the list, and he was made an inspector June 20, 1905.

Inspector Nally was born June 1, 1847, and served in the Sixty-ninth Regiment for three months in 1864. He was a silversmith by trade. His death was due to heart failure. CAPT. MURPHY PUTS LID ON.

HOT HAMBURGER SHOT FOR DEPUTY O'KEEFFE No Charges Made Against Hussey, Flood and Driscoll; Why Not "PROTECTION BLOOD MONEY." Flat Assertion of Graft by Men on 0'Keeffe's Personal Staff-Quibbles Answered. Jacob G.

Hamburger, head of a private detective agency at Myrtle avenue and Washington street, is determined to fight Acting Commissioner Arthur J. O'Keeffe, who took revenge on Hamburger last Saturday by revoking the private detective's appointment as special patrolman and his right to carry a shield. Hamburger had incurred the wrath of Deputy Commissioner O'Keeffe by making official reports to General Bingham of police graft and corruption under the O'Keeffe administration. Detective Hamburger issued the following statement to-day: "The State Street Publicity Bureau, in preparing the statement for Inspector Flood's signature, omitted to state that the charge of which I was found guilty the Court of Special Sessions was the in violation of a new license law for the state supervision detectives. "They also ignored the fact that mine was test case and that I had tried to a live up to the law in every particular, having filed the necessary application with bond, certified check and endorsements in the required time, but that a license was not issued at that time.

"I was not arrested but requested to appear in court where I was paroled Iu custody of my counsel, Hirsh a Rasquin. Following the hearing of the case my license was issued. "As to the McGwinne divorce case, ment that I had taken McGwinne there is absolutely no truth, in the stateto any hotel for any purpose whatever, nor have I ever been the corespondent in any divorce case, "Regarding the New Orleans allegation. the public is well aware of the attempted identification by men brought on from New Orleans 3 by O'Keeffe's personal staff, who cordially greeted one of my employes 'Hamburger, old pal' of the Southern city, and who bears as much re. semblance to me as O'Keeffe does.

"The 'half dollar graft cases' of the East Side have given Mr. O'Keeffe enough opportunity to step into the limelight, but nothing has been done In the Brooklyn cases where thousands of dollars were being paid for protection. Mr. O'Keeffe, as acting Police Commissioner, must have access' to the reports of my office regarding these precincts, in which I have named vicious dives conducted for immoral purposes and the names cf people who have sworn under oath to having paid protection money 1.0 men of the acting commissioner's staff. mand plain answers the noting Here are a few questions, which deCommissioner: Did he prefer charges against Captain Driscoll or the voting captain for permitting these dives to in the Hamilton Avenue Precinct? "0'Keeffe's answer can only be 'No'." "Has he preferred charges against Inspector Flood or Hussey for the same violation of their oaths of office As poUcemen? Another 'No' will be the answer.

"Did he prefer charges against the two officers of his staff who walked around a number of secluded blocks with a dive after meeting him at police headquarters, upon two occasions, with the declared intention of accepting "the soul money of white slaves in the City of Churches'? Sadly for Brooklyn, another What did he do? He transferred four honest men to precincts far from their homes and families because they had dared to assist me in showing the deplorable conditions as they existed. The records of these men cannot be questioned. Still, on Saturday the acting commissioner is quoted as saying to Lieutenant Noble in Manhattan. 'We want no screening of grafting charges' (in Manhattan). 'It should have been given out the more readily because the police were implicated' (in Manhattan).

"Why did two of his officers arrest Fuski of 47 Carroll street the night before he was to testify against the two men of his personal staff, for accepting blood money for protection? "Fuski has been arrested three times since making his statement, Why? His answer will be a novel one. The only sufferers under O'Keeffe's administration has been the under dog, the plain policeman."

August 19-The funeral of Valentine Hess, who killed himself on Saturday, took place from his late home here this afternoon at 2 o'clock.

The police of the Astoria precinct have a murder mystery on their hands. Late last night Julian Schinansky of 704 Ninth avenue, Long Island City, was found dying on floor of a billiard room in the saloon of Mrs. Michael Schmidt at 749 Ninth avenue. The only person in the place when the police arrived was Thomas Kotchnie, the bartender, and as he appeared not to have been concerned in the murder, he was placed under.arrest on a charge of violating the excise law. He told the police that he knew nothing of what had taken place in the billiard room, but the authorities are of the opinion that the bartender could tell much if he would, and knows who was present when the crime was committed.

Schinansky was lying on the floor almost unconscious from the effects of a blow on the head, delivered with a billiard cue. The blood-stained cue was found on the floor and the confusion in the billiard room indicated the hasty deof those who were present when parture Whether the assault on Schinansky was Schinansky was struck down. the result of a quarrel over a game is not known as yet. He was removed to St. John's Hospital in Long Island City and died there early this morning.

He had lapsed into a state of unconsciousness and the authorities were unable to obtain from him any statement as to who had assailed him with the cue. The police are satisfied that the bartender WAS a witness of the affair and he was arraigned before Magistrate Gilroy in the Long Island City police court this morning and remanded for examination. Mrs. Schmidt formerly kept a saloon at Laurel Hill. Her husband was shot and killed last winter by a policeman, who was sent to Schmidt's place to investigate a robbery complaint.

The proprietor locked up the place and when the policeman appeared opened fire on him. The policeman drew his revolver and returned the fire with the result that Schmidt was shot through the head and killed. DISCRIMINATE AGAINST CITY. Water Department Claims Nassau Assessors Have Placed Absurdly High Value on Land City Owns. That the city is being discriminated in the assessments levied by the against of different Nassau County assessors townships upon property held by the Water Department, is the substance of a complaint, made public by Deputy Commissioner William C.

Cozier of the Wato-day and that will be ter Department, the different assessors in question. It is claimed by Deputy Commissioner Cozier, after a report received from George S. Skilton, an assistant engineer in the Water Department, that sessments an amount greater than the actual value of the land; that the city is being diseriminated against, from the fact that its parcels are asat a higher rate per acre than sessed other similar property in the same 1o- calities, and at a higher rate than the property of private owners better situand of a different character, and it ated, 1s also claimed that much of the city's which consists of swamp land property, covered with a thick growth of underbrush, is assessed for more than property that is high and dry and suitable for improvement. The property owned by the Water Department in Nassau County, about which the complaint of unfair assessments 13 made. consists in all of about 30 acres, mainly in the town of Hempstead, and the assessment of which has been fixed between $25,000 and $30,000.

Most of at this land is upon the south shore and in the vicinity of the aqueduct. If some remedy is not forthcoming after the presentation of the complaint to the local assessors the Water Departin court and to fight the matter el to the ment intends to contest the assessments last ditch, so it was said this morning.

Borough President Coler to-day gave out a letter addresed by him to acting Controller, a John return H. fling McCooey at Mr. in which McCooey, he as a reply to the latter's letter, given out on Saturday, in which the Borough President was advised as to how his offer to take his salary in city bonds might be accepted. Mr. Coler, in his letter to-day, makes it plain that despite the somewhat jocular manner in which his the city was received by Mr.

McCooey, he has made up his mind to take bonds for his pay and that he is not likely to waver in this determination. Mr. Coler's letter follows: Hon. John H. McCooey, Deputy and Acting Controller.

Dear Sir: I beg to acknowledge your letter of August 17, relative to the payment of my salary warrant for the month of August. It was extremely kind of you to go to the trouble of showing me how my suggestion as to the exchange of my salary check for city bonds might be effected after first taking the trouble to inform me that it could not be accomplished. I am ready to follow the course you Indicate, tendering my salary warrant to office, and hope you will notify me of the your date upon which it will be convenient for you to do business of this kind with the mayor and the controller and the other members of the Board of Estimate and Apportionment, because it seems to me that it would be a good thing for us to assemble in your office at the same time and make a proffer of our salary warrants simultaneously, Yours very truly, BIRD 8. COLER. President.

(P. S. As the salaries mayor and controller are 80 much larger than mine, I suggest. you get an agreement from them not to immediately go to Wall street would with their bonds and break the bond market. A PRETTY STRICT RULES OF UTILITIES BOARD A Railroad Must Tell a Lot of Things to Get Increased Capitalization.

USE OF CASH TO BE SPECIFIED Board Hears That Concrete Pile Patent Is Infringed in Tunnel. A Monorail Plea. Some stringent rules governing railroad and other corporations which are intended to prevent overcapitalization and the watering of stock were adopted by the Public Utilities Commission this morning. Under the new rule it will prove a most difficult matter for financiers to form holding companies like the Interborough-Metropolitan Company and the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company less satisfactory reasons can be advanced that such mergers will be for the public good. Rules were also adopted by the commission governing applications for permission to construct a railroad or an extension to a system which is already in use.

All the rules were adopted in pursuance of section 54 of the Public Utilities Act. With the inauguration of the new rules future mergers will be diffcult to hide from the public. Rule 23 makes it mandatory for every corporation to give a full and complete statement of the reasons for the formation of a merger between one or more companies. A public hearing is then provided and at that time the company filing the application must furnish satisfactory proof that the proposed merger is for the benefit of the public service. Probably the most important is Rule 24, which governs applications for the approval of the issue of stock, bonds and notes, and other evidences of indebtedness.

By compelling corporations to carry out the provisions of this rule it will make overcapitalization and the watering of stock an impossibility. Some of the most important provisions in this rule which corporations will have to comply with are as follows: "The petition must contain a sworn statement in detail of the financial condition of the company, giving the amount and kinds of the capital stock outstanding and the rate and amount of dividends declared thereon during the past five years, the outstanding indebtedness and how secured, and if secured by mortgage or pledge, a copy of the instrument shall be annexed to the petition, a description of the road, and in general terms of its equipment, and a statement of the cost of its existing property. It shall contain a statement of the amount of any of its stock held by other corporations and their names and the amount held by each. "A statement of the amount and kind of stock which the corporation desires to issue, and, if preferred the rate of dividends secured to be paid by it, and whether cumulative, a statement of the amount of bonds, notes and other evidence of indebtedness which the corporation desires to issue, the terms, the rate of interest and whether and how to be secured, and if to be secured by a mortgage or pledge, the terms thereof. Use of New Capital to Be Specified.

"A statement of the use to which the capital to be secured by the issue of such stock, bonds, notes or other evidence of indebtedness is to be put with a definite statement of how much is to be used for the acquisition of property, how much for the construction, completion, extension or improvement of facilities, how much for the improvement of its service, how much for the maintenance of its service and how much for the discharge or refunding of its obligations. "A statement. in detail of the property which is to be acquired with its value, a detalled description of the construction, completion, extension or improvement of facilities set forth in such a manner that an estimate may be made of its cost. a statement of the character of the improvement of its service proposed and of the reasons why the service should be maintained from its capita', if it is proposed to discharge or refund its obligations to a statement of the nature and description of such obligations, including their par value and the amount for which they were actually sold and the application of the proceeds. "A statement showing whether any contracts have been made for the acquisition of such property, or for such construction, completion, extension or improvement of facilities, or for the disposition of any of the stock, bonds, notes or evidence of indebtedness which it is proposed to issue or the avails thereof, and if any such contracts have been made, copies thereof should be annexed to the petition.

"A statement showing whether any of the outstanding stock or bonds or other obligations of the company have been issued or used in capitalizing any franchise or any right to own, operate or enjoy any franchise or any contract for consolidation or lease, and if so, the amount thereof and the franchise, right, contract or lease so capitalized. "If the stock is to be issued by a corporation formed by the merger or consolidation of two or more other corporations, the petition shall contain plete statement of the financial condition of the corporations So consolidated, of the kind required by subdivision (a) hereinabove set forth, and of their capital stock at the par value thereof. "The petition shall contain a statement of any other facts pertinent to the application. Claim That Patent Was Infringed.

Flatbush Demands the Monorail. The Flatbush Taxpayers Association, through George W. Wilson, chairman of its Transportation Committee, has filed with the Public Service Commission an urgent appeal for the building of the Behr Monorail. Mr. Wilson says in part: "We desire to cal lyour attention to theh imperative necessity of increased transit facilities for the benefit of those whose daily business involves the journey from Flatbush to Manhattan.

"The citizens of Flatbush and taxpers' organizations throughout the Borough of Brooklyn, have indorsed the plan and proposition of F. B. Behr, which would ameliorate the conditions at the New York end of the Brooklyn Bridge. "The proposition is to carry passengers from Manhattan, via the Atlantic avenue ferry, from the Battery, thence by a route to be finally settled by you, through Flatbush to Coney Island, for a single 5 cent fare, ferriage included. outlay by the city, no increase in its "The building of this road 0 requires 30 bonded indebtedness.

but instead will be a source of income by the payment to the city of the terms embodied in the franchise, thus doing away with the debt limit of the city. "The slow speed steam line of the Behr Monorail in Ireland has been working for nineteen years, the reports on which, I understand, are in the possession of the commission. "It has been indorsed by Kelvin, who is the consulting engineer, with Sir William Preece for the Behr Memorial. In this country' it has the unqualified approval of Gustave Lindenthal, Samuel Rea, Joseph Ramsey, William Barcluy Parsons and many others." MANY REALTY CONCERNS.

PLANT Found Wagon by Two Policemen; Men Arrested George Lamoreaux. HE DENIES ALL COMPLICITY. Peculiar Case in Which One Brother Furnished the Horse, Another the Harness and the Third the Wagon. DIED. Charles Lamoreaux, who lives at 241 Forty-third street, South Brooklyn, is the proud possessor of a gray mare that twice has had the distinction of having been driven away by horse thieves.

Joseph Lamoreaux, a brother of Charles, lives also at 241 Forty-third street. He is the undisputed owner of a heavy spring wagon, painted green with yellow running gear. George Lamoreaux of the same place owns a heavy one-horse harness that exactly fits Charles' gray mare. Just before daylight, yesterday, Policemen Edward Wardell and George Meyer of the Fourth avenue station noticed a heavily loaded wagon turning into a vacant lot at the corner of Third avenue and Forty-fourth street. They couldn't imagine what business such a wagon had there at that time of day, so they started to investigate.

As they neared the vehicle, a man jumped to the ground and ran, yelling, toward the officers, urging them, as he ran, to take after two men who were running in the opposite direction. The officers seized the man and took him to the Fourth avenue station, where he said his name was George Lamoreaux. The wagon, which was loaded with copper wire, was left standing where it was. Lamoreaux said that he knew nothing about the wire, but declared that he was after his harness, which he claims had been taken from his premises by the two men that he had pointed out to the officers. He WAS locked up as a suspicious person.

Shortly after Lamoreaux had been confined in a cell, his brother Joseph came into the station house and reported that the stable in the rear of his house had been broken into, and that his spring wagon had disappeared. He had risen early, it seems, to take a morning's drive and had noticed the stable door open. While this report was being made out by the police lieutenant, Charless Lamoreaux, another brother of the alleged burglar, entered the station with the news that his horse had been stolen from the yard in the rear of his house, where it had been left for the night. The horse and wagon were shown to the two brothers, which were promptly identified as their property. At this time an inspector for the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company arrived with the information that thieves had entered the plant on Second avenue and Fifty-second street and had stolen 1,200 pounds of topper wire, valued at $280.

George Lamoreaux was accused of taking the wire but he positively denied any knowledge of so doing. Lamoreaux was arrested in July, charged with complicity in a burglary Fifth avenue, where a number of musical instruments were carted away in a wagon owned by him. He appeared in the Fifth avenue court last week, was discharged for lack of sufficient evidence. DIXIE BACK FROM ENGLAND. Will Be Taken Immediately to Jamestown.

The fast motor boat Dixie, belonging to Commodore Edward J. Schroeder of the Motor Boat Club of America, which on August 3 won the British international trophy at Southampton, arrived on the American liner Minnetonka this morning, and will be shipped at once to Hampton Roads to take part in the Jamestown Exposition races, which will be held in the early part of September. Captain S. Bartley Pearce, who ran the Dixie in the Southampton contest, will be in charge of her at Hampton Roads. He arrived on the Teutonic last Friday, saying that the Dixie was the fastest motor boat afloat and that he was confident of winning at the Exposition races.
