Mlneola, N. June 21 Christopher Schang, who was an inmate of the Schang Hotel at Freenort. whlcn was raiaeu Wednesday nieht bv Sheriff Gildersleeve, who arrested what is believed to be the leaders of a gang of burglars who have operated so successfully In Nassau County the last six months, was closeted with Assistant District Attorney Bennett and Detectives Hults and Sweet for two hours this morning, and gave valuable information. Schang was in Jail when the raid was made, having been indicted on two counts for assaulting two men in the hotel on June 1. Schang made a full and complete con fesslon after an hour's argument with tc two detectives.

Assistant District Attorney Bennett, for various reasons preferred not to make the full statement public. It was stated, however, that Schang confessed that all tho burglaries were committeed by himself, Von Fahrig and Maurice Burke. He described how the trio operated, and told of places robbed of which the District Attorney's office had received no information. Schang said that after getting Into a house occu pied, the gang would spray ether and chloroform In the sleeping rooms, thus making themselves secure against detec- on. All the-loot was taken to Freeport, later packed in trunks, and shipped to the house In New York.

Smaller articles of great value were carried to the city and Immediately pawned. He could give no Information as to the fences In the cltv. having nothing to do with the dis position of the stolen goods. Schang was In conference with the detectives several hours, and was taken back to his cell shortly after 12 o'clock. Just how he was Induced to confess is not given out, but It is supposed he was promised some leniency.

PUGILIST KNOCKED OUT. Lenny Taken From the Ring to Belle, vue Hospital Club After what the police declare was a hard fought four-round bout, after which one of the boxers had to be hurried to Bellevue Hospital, the police of the West Thirtieth Street Station, Manhattan, late last right raided the Long Acre Athletic Club, arresting four men besides th.fc man who bad been taken to Bellevue. The police have several times raided the Long Acre Club in the past, but have not bothered it lately because tbo club had won out in the courts. The raid would not have taken place last night, Captain McCluskey of the "Tenderloin" station said, had It not been for the report that one of the fighters had been seriously injured. In the fourth round Edward Smith and Gustave Lenny began to "mix it up" lively, the police say.

There was some hard and swift fighting, according to the de tectives who were Is the audience. The man Lenny was severely punished and had to be helped from the ring to bis dressing room. Word reaced Captain McCluskey that Lenny was not coming around well after the fight. A few minutes later he heard that the boxer Lenny had been hurried to Bellevue Hospital in a closed carriage. The captain waited just long enough to learn that the report was true and then, with Detectives Conlin, Dunstan and Walsh hurried to the club.

The names and addresses of a number of men in tbe place who had witnessed the fight were taken and then the two seconds, the ref eree and Smith were arrested. Smith gave his age as twenty years and his address as 42 West Eightieth street. He said he was a fighter. Lenny's address was given as Andrew Square, South Boston. After the prisoners had been locked up at tbe "Tenderloin station, Detectives Conlin and Dunstan hurried to Bellevue Hospital.

They found that Lenny had been admitted to the hospital and taken to Ward 14, the Men's1 Surgical Divi sion. The detective charged him with violating Section 458 and he was transferred from that ward to the prison ward. Dr. Hooker, who admitted the fighter to Bellevue, said that he was in a serious and might die. Lenny, Dr.

Hooker says, was suffering from multiple contusions of the body and head. Hr-was unconscious for hours after being admitted to tbe hospital, but regained bis senses later. GUESTS OF PRESIDENT. First Visitors of Summer Entertained at Saga mere Hill President Acts on Pardon Cases. (Special to the Eagle.) Oyster Bay, L.

Frank Philbrlck, a Cheyenne Indian, who journeyed all the way from North Dakota yesterday to see the President, had his labor for his pains, tor he was not permitted to see Mr. Roosevelt. The trouble with Philbrick was he would not tell the exact nature of his business, but Intimated that it had to do with Indian affairs. He was referred to Indian Commissioner Leupp at Washington. Philbrlck said that he used to work for President Roosevelt on his ranch.

Ho had known tha President well In hlb ranching days, he said, and had not thought that a formal application for permission to Tialt would be necessary.

a I BUILT III COVEREO TUNNEL Downtown Taxpayers Will Make Effcrt to HsveSpiciflca-tlons Changed. DUNNE SAYS IMPOSSIBLE. Commissioner at tha Same Time Ad vises Coler to Reject Bids and Readvertise. A delegation of the Downtown Taxpayers Association called on Public Works, Commissioner Dunne at the latter's office in Borough Hall this morning and in behalf of the organization and residents of (he section in which It is interested asked that the borfiugh officials have the work of installing the Gold street relief sewer done in a covered tunnel Instead of by the open-dlteh method. Although the delegation was informed that it i practically impossible for the borough officials to expend as much, money as the tunneling proposition would cost, they told the commissioner that tbe organization 'would at once make an effort to have the specifications, changed so that the work of Installing the big sewer will be done under cover.

Commissioner Dunne told his wisitors that It would cost almost twice as much to bore a tunnel for the purpose of con structlng the sewer under cover and that with even the ordinary open-ditch method of doing the work the cost would be tremendous, considerably more than a quarter of a million dollars. The representatives from the Downtown Taxpayers Association declared that all the residents of the section that would be affected by the dust and dlrtNncjJ-dental to the open ditch were loud in their demands 'for the more modern method of doing the work. They said that the belief was prevalent that busl-licss would be seriously interfered with for many months, that homes and their contents would be devastated by the ruinous dust and dirt and that life in the section would be practically unbearable. The callers rehearsed the story at the havoc raited by the construction of the Hudson avenue sewer, some years ago, by the open ditch method, and declared that tho neighborhood had been seriously retarded by it from that time on. They added that it is to prevent a repetition of that disaster that the effort to have the tunnel method used is being made' by the association, backed up by the and property owners.

So far as the agitation for the tunnel plan of installing the sewers is concerned, the delegation could not have called at' a better time, for Commissioner Dunne had Just advised Borough President Coler to reject the three bids and readvertise the contract. Engineer Forte has Jumped back again to his former recommendation that the contract be advertised in three sections. Mr. Dunne addressed this communication to the borough preBldent: 'I forward herewith canvaBs of. the bids received on the 12th for the construction of tbe Gold street relief sewer.

These bids were as follows: Borough Construction Company, John J. Creem. $603,809: Jenks-Asserson Con structing Company, $640,365.40. After care ful consideration of this matiefr-durfng which a hearing was given to the lowest bidder, John J. Creem, with his engineering counsel and with further reports in the matter from James Dunne (commissioner of sewers) and Engineer-Forto 0 the Sewer Bureau, also Mr.

Creuzbaur. our consulting engineer, I am satisfied that this bid Is excessive and should be rejected and the work readvcrtlsod. Our engineer's estimate of the total cost In cludes, I understand, a fair allowance for a percentage for clear profit to the bidders. With a further competition fcr this important work, a much lower bid should be received by the city. B.

R. T. RACE TRACK SERVICE Begins To-day Between Thirty-ninth Street Ferry and Sheepshead. The race track service from Thirty- ninth Street Ferry to Sheepshead Bay will be installed to-day by the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company and continued until the last day of the meet. Trains will connect with the municipal ferrj from the foot of Whitehall "Street and will leave Thirty-ninth street every twenty minutes from 12:10 to 3:10 P.M.

The return trips, from the track to ferry, terminal wilt be made after the last race. Tbls service was delayed owing to interference by the work of connecting the tracks of the Brighton Beach line with the. Long Island Railroad, which was completed last night.

By changing cars at Neptune and Oceun avenues, however, Coney Island or Sea Gate can be reached from the Sheepshead Bay track.

SON WILL GIVE $5,000 MORE. Pelham Colonists Expect to Contribute the Same Sum Absence of. Clews Puzzles Detectives. (Special to the Eagle.) White Plains.

N. June 21 It is now the general belief that the murder of Julius T. Rosenhelmer. one of the wealthiest residents of Pelham, on Wednesday was committed by the same robbers that have lately been robbing country houses along the Northern shore of Long Island Sound, and who are know as yeggmen, and that tney intenaea iu kill' Mrs. Rosenhelmer, who was walking with her husband at the time, and then rob the mansion, but were frightened away by her screams.

Detectives employed by Sheriff Lane started off on a new scent to-day. They are looking for a mysterious sloop which was seen off Hunters Island, near Pelham Manor, on the night of the murder, and on which It is thought the slayers, after robbing Mr. Rosenhelmer of a few dollars and his gold watch, escaped. It was only last week that the big country home of a Rye millionaire was looted of S2.500 worth of silverware and on that night a sloop was seen anchored In the sound off Rye. The police all along the north shore of the sound have received Instructions to look for this strange craft and when sighted to run it down.

The Board of Supervisors will meet on Monday and it 13 understood a reward of J2.000 will be offered for the arrest and conviction of the slayers of Mr. Rosenhelmer. All the suspects arrested by the police and sheriff have been discharged. Coroner Wclscndanger says he will not hold the Inquest until Mrs. Rosenhelmer, who is still confined to ber bed, is able to appear before him.

In addition to this reward, T. Edward Rosenhelmer, the son of the dead man, offers $5,000, and it Is said that the wealthy residents of the Pelham summer colony will raise fund of $.5,000, making the total amount of reward to be $12,000. The otter of so much money has attracted many amateur sleuths, ana every night all the dark roads are pa trolled and all Btrangers are accosted and forced to prove their Identity they act Early to-day two new suspects were taken into custody In The men arrested are Italians and were captured on a Third avenue elevated train. The officer who made the arrests was David Wynn, a New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad detective. Wynne was sitting in tbe seat behind them on tbe train when he overheard them discussing the Rosenhelmer mur der.

From some of the remarks they let drop Wynne decided that the Pelham authorities ought to hear a more complete story from He took them to the One. Hundred and Twenty-fifth street The Pelham police authorities were immediately notified of the arrest and were expected to go down to examine the men and hear what Wynne had to say about them. The utter lack of clews is to the police one of the most remarkable features of the case. New York detectives who have been working on the murder say that seldom has a case of this kind been so bare of something to start from. The trail which the bloodhound followed from the garden where Mr.

Rosenhelmer was struck down to the Pelham railroad station Is as far as any one has got. The description of the two men as given by Mrs. Rosenhelmer is very meager, because of her fright, and that given by Henry Scott, the Iceman, of the two men who held him up about a quarter of an hour previously is not much better. In many murder cases a weapon usually finds it way into the hands of the police and there is a chance of tracing It back to the owner, but the weapon which killed Mr. Rosenhelmer has not yet beeu round.

It is not unlikely that It was dropped into the Hutchinson River, which the murderers crossed on their way to the railroad station. Mr. Rosenhelmer's funeral takes place at Woodlawn Cemetery at 3 o'clock this afternoon. The Pelham Fire Department and a large delegation of tbe needle manufacturer's fellow-citizens will attend the funeral in a body. Edward Rosenhelmer, the dead man's son, said to-day that after the funeral he would personally take up the search for the murderers.

GIVEN THIRD DEGREE. Wife of Southold Shooting Victim Stood It Well and Is Discharged. Other Prisoner Set Free. (Special to the Eagle.) Riverhead, June 21 Joseph K8s- lawski, who has been held in Jail here on a charge of shooting Michael Plafskl of Southold early last Saturday morning, was discharged from custody yesterday afternoon, as tbe result of efforts made in his behalf by his lawyer, N. O.

Petty of this place. The man stuck to his story that he knew nothing about the terrible shooting, and seemed to ell a straight story of his movements that night. He engaged Lawyer Petty, who conferred with the District Attorney and Justice Case. These officials had also been doing further investigating, and they wer inclined to accept tHe prisoner's story. After having a conference, also, with the man's employer.

Mr. Salmon, who said his workman was home and in bed. Justice Case decided to discharge KoBlawski ou the ground that there was not sufficient evidence to hold him. and the District Attorney consented. Mrs.

Plafskl. who- was also held, has been let go, and the mystery of the may never be solved. As a List resort, Marie i'lafski was taken on Wednesday jj the hospital at Mineola and to the bedside of her huB-band. It was thought she knew moie bjut the shooting than she was will ing to admit, and. on seeing ber 'husband.

might give Information against Kos-lawskl. She was left in the room alone with him. while the authorities eaves dropped outside, with an interpreter, in the hope that she would say something that might be used as evidence. But they learned nothing from the ruse, for neither by word nor action did she betray the slightest thing that would give a clew to the tragedy. Later she was put through a sort of third degree, but firmly held to her original story that she had no knowledge of the shooting.

The hospital authorities said yesterday that afski Is dninr we II. and. from nres- ent indications. Is likely to recover. REPORTED BY Slasconsett, Mass, June 21 A wireless df spveh reports the C'L from Liverpool for New York, three hundred and forty miles east of Sandy Hook tit 4 A.

Troubles To-day. BIG BLOCK AT SHEEPSHEAD. Racing Element Had a Row With B. R. T.

Specials Cabmen Benefited. Inspector Harkins, in charge of the Fifteenth Inspection District, had his hands full yesterday afternoon handling the masR of neonie" who desired to see the Suburban and who later seemed anxious to get home as fast as cars could carry them. The employes on the B. R. T.

lines had a hard time of it, too, and it turned out later that the rule of be railroad company was to blame. The railroad company operated a num ber of extra cars from sea Gate to the race track entrance, or rather a point just south of it. The regular trolley line is operated from Sea Gate to the corner of Ocean end Emmons avenues: That cor ner Is the terminus of the Ocean avenue line, runniug from that point to Broad way ferry, in the Eastern The fare from Sea Gate to Ocean and Emmons avenues Is 5 cents, and that was all that was demanded and charged on the regular cars. The extra cars that ran two longTjlocks further, in order to get the people to the race track, were considered double-fare line, and the conductors demanded an extra fare. Something that appeared, very much like a riot followed.

Many refused to pay. The police were notified and Inspector Harkins and a platoon were soon on the Job. All the trou ble happened after the races. The crowd that boarded the cars for Sea Gate out side the tracks were asked to pay an extra fare, but most of them refused to do so tne ponce saw at once that the entire avenue would be blocked if the crowd was not dispersed, and they soon arranged matters bo that the people were carried to Coney Island without paying tbe extra nickel. Regular patrons of the road de clared the extra fare is an outrage, as he trip from the regular terminal is only two blocks in length.

The railroad offi cials will be asked to settle the matter right away, it was said. "iien opecta foiiceman ehe ivaa asked what caused the trouble he de. clared there was no trouble to speak of. When he saw there were signs of an argu ment, he said, he simply summoned the uivismn superintendent and the people. were neia nacK.

several different stor es were told to-day as to the treatment passengers received at the hands of the railroad company. Charles E. Morris, who resides in Gravesend Beach and was on nis way to Shoepsliead Bay on busi ncss, said Ihe cars were blocked from Ocean parkway to Sheepshead Bay aud mai. me conuuetor on the train demanded an extra nickel from the passengers. Mr.

Moris said he paid it because he was In a hurry, but there were many others who refused to do so and were not put oft the cars either. Those who had buslnesb at the race track, however, paid undci protest and then engaged a carriage to get them to the track. The cabmen had a field day of It. Many oi tnem stationed themselves along the line of the cars and shouted to the conductors to put the kickers off. The police are' going to be on hand today In large numbers and they will keep the cars moving, too.

He declared his intention of remaining in New York until he had tested the rislu of the authorities to act with such arbitrariness. "To begin with. I was never examined as to temperature or physical condition. The first class passengers were allowed to go. and when it was said mat It was use they were responsible I offered! thousand dollars security, and my friend McCormick added another thousand to assure the offb-ials that I would report when ordered.

This would not do. and the result was that I was kept away from business that I had come over a thousand miles to attend to.

I A Rug Valued at $1,000 Among the Loot Complete Burglar's Outfit Found at Freeport. Sheriff Gildersleeve of Nassau County, with more than a dozen residents of Vreo-fort and vicinity, went to police bead-quarters in Mulberry street to-day to try to Identify as the residents' property some of the loot recovered by the sheriff and Central Office men yesterday from a house at 447 East One Hundred aud Twenty-third 'street.

Manhattan. It Is believed, from the confessions ob tained by Sheriff Gildersleeve from throe Suspects arreBted on Monday, that the flno tapestries, rugs, pictures, silverware and Jewelry found In the house are part of the proceeds of the burglaries by men in automobiles who have terrorized Free-port and Its vicinity of late. One of the rugs was a with the head mounted, which Is valued at $1,000. Lieutenants Hughes, Doolad and Hyams, who assisted Sheriff Glldersleove in the ratd, say that the property recovered is worth at least Tho Freeport people went over the stuff with an Idea of claiming their property. Identified Their Property.

As a result of their inspection the Long Island residents who accompanied Sheriff Gildersleeve to the bouse were able to Identify property worth nearly $3,000. Among the identifications made were those by -Matthew Murray and his son, William, whose residence at Freeport was burglarized on 'December 30 and property to the value, of $1,500 was taken, Mr. Murray and his son picked out loot worth $800 as belonging to them. Philander R. Jenings, an iron broker of Manhattan, with a big country estate at Merrick, was robbed some months ago of $2,000 worth of property.

In the stuff recovered from the East One Hundred and Twenty-third street house he recog nized property worth $1,000 as having been taken by the burglars from his house. William J. K. Kenny of Merrick was able also to identify a number of articles as about half in value of his loss to the burglars of property valued at $2,000. Then the sheriff gave out beside these lists of property that it Is known had been taken from residents of Freeport and the neighboring towns.

He said the amounts were an underestimation, If anything: William H. Nostrand of Springfield, reported that on April 14 last, his home had been robbed of oil paintings valued at $1,800. and that Jewelry worth fully $500 had been taken by the burglars in addition. He awakened to beam them in the house, he said, frightened them away, but thoy returned before morning. 'Some losses reported were these by J.

H. Schullman of Baldwins, who reported the loss of property to the amount of $500; P. H. Morrison of Lynbrook, who had property worth $1,500 taken last December; lames Hart of Freeport. who lost property valued at $1,000 and George Koeckcis, who is postmaster and proprietor of the general store at Rosedalo, wh ose safe was robbed of stamps and money In total $1,000, last March.

William Varlty of Merrick, lost In March, $200 to the burglars; Howard Worthman of Merrick the same amount in thejmme month, and Forest D. Smith of Baldwins the same amount. Cedarhurst Home Bobbed. The home of James Hopkins of Cedarhurst, was entered twice in November last and in uJne, a short time ago. and on each occasion property worth $2,000 was taken.

George W. Vales of Cedarhurst, reported robbers in the same months, and each time lost $1,000 Pierre M. Brown of Hempstead, on April 17 last, suffered a loss of $1,000, and in May of this year, Edward Abrahams of Hewletts, in May had property worth $500 taken. H. H.

Cammann, comptroller of Trinity church corporation, who has a large country place at Merrick, was burglarized to the extent of $1,600, and Peter Muller, hotelkeeper in the same village, lost property in amount of $5,000. Sheriff Gildersleeve said at headquarters that In one of the trunks seized at Freeport there is jewelry worth at least $5,000. He says in addition that he has more than twenty pawu tickets for other valuable stuff. The Sheriff says he is confident that chloroform was used by the burglars. At the foot of a tree, he adds, near Freeport, where he had reason to believe some articles might bo buried, two bottles were dug up.

One purported to contain horse liniment and the other Borne liquid which might be chloroform. The Sheriff said that he got his first clue in the matter from the station agent, who informed him that with undue frequency, sometimes two or three times a week, trunks were being, shipped from Freeport to one address. The circumstance was unusual enough to attract attention. The investigation is to be carried further, the sheriff said, and he hopes to have others of the losers come to headquarters to attempt to identify the remaining property held there. Another Arrest at Freeport.

(Special to the Eagle.) Freeport, L. June 21 Another ar rest was made yesterday afternoon in the round-up of burglars who are supposed to have operated with the gang who made their headquarters at Schang's saloon, and stor'd the booty taken from different places there. Mamie Burns, a young woman who had been stopping at the saloon, was the person taken into custody and held as a witness. She came from New York to get her clothing, which she said had been left at Schang's. and was surprised when she arrived there to find that Augustus Von Fnhrig, Ihe manager; Mrs.

Schang Morris Beck and Joseph Kelly had been arrested. The Burns woman claims to be the wife of William Burnt, who escaped from the police Wednesday afternoon when Von Fah-rig and others 'erj taken into custody. Further identification of properly stored the Schang place was made yesterday, and the police are now convinced that the gang have committed all the burglar-lea reported along the South Side between the Greater New York and Suffolk County line within the past year and a half. It believed that the local parties had allies In New York who enrae 6it nights in an automobile; were tipped off as to what place would be "ripe" for plunder; the haul made, and the goods brought to the Schang place on the Merrick road. The police have fot-nd a complete burg- lars' outfit.

Including chloroform, a dark lantern, loaded revolver, which the gang had. The chloroform was found in the swamp into which Von Fahrig made his way Wednesday after shooting at the IN MEM0RIAM.
