IS SPLENDIDLY EQUIPPED. Furnishings Were Made at Auburn State Prison -Structure's Interesting History. Everything comes to him that waits, says the old saw, and the Parkville lice having waited seven years for their new station house, have finally fallen heir to it. Without any flourish of drums or beating of cymbals, but with much quiet jubilation, men, dogs and horses moved in yesterday, and to-day they are established in a building which is the equal of any police precinct in the city.

They promise that the celebration will come when the building is entirely completed, for as yet about a month's work remains to be done. The new station house is a handsome three-story, white stone building, fronting on Lawrence avenue, midway between the Ocean Parkway and Gravesend avenue, It boasts many conveniences which the old house on the Ocean Parkway near Webster avenue did not possess. Among these are shower baths, recreation rooms, a stable, and six large light dormotories with- wash rooms and. lavatories adjoining each. In the cellar there is also a drying room, where a policeman who comes in from his post.

wet, on a rainy day, may put all his clothing, from his cap to his shoes and have it all thoroughly dried out in fifteen or twenty minutes. Accommodations will also be made for taking care of women prisoners. and a matron will be assigned to the new station house. At present women prisoners have to be taken all the way to Brownsville and locked up in the Brownsville station house. The dormitories occupy the second and third floors of the structure.

and at present will accommodate one hundred and four men. There are -eight men now at the Parkville station, not to mention twenty horses and the fifteen police dogs. A modern. up-to-date stable adjoins the station house, and in it are accommodations for the patrol wagon and fourteen horses, but it will be enlarged to permit the stabling of twenty horses there. What will be done with the police dogs is not known, but it is rumored that they will be stabled in a shed adjoining Engine Company 150.

which is directly opposite the new police station on Lawrence avenue. Entrance to the station house will be by means of an arch- way. which will be actually within the building itself. This is because of some error in the plans by which the present Alight of stone steps leading to the building extends several feet beyond the building line. New Building's Interesting History.

new building has an interesting history. The ground on which it stands was deeded to the old town of Flatbush by a taxpayer, with the understanding that be used for school purposes. At he time Brooklyn Flatbush the deed reverted to Brooklyn and when New York annexed Brooklyn the deed reverted to Greater New York. When the proposition to erect a police station on this site came up there was considerable opposition to be overcome. because the original grant was made for a school building.

This difficulty WAr finally adjusted and the station house started. The architect was Washington last year while cruising near Staten Hull, the yachtsman who was a drowned Island. It is said that Mr. Hull was very exacting in h's requirements and that as a result of this one of the contractors who had charge of the work on the building failed, and another had to be called in. This delayed the work considerably.

His men give great credit to Acting Captain Farr for the fact that they are now in possession of the new building. Since he took command of the Parkville precinct, about a year and a halt ago, he has worked unceasingly to have the new building made ready for occupancy. The building from which the police moved yesterday and which they had oncupied for a period of three years was formerly Mackay's Hotel and was A noted gathering place for prize-fighters. Many of them trained there. Charlie White.

The lease on it expires the first day of May and rather than renew it, the police transferred their quarters to the new building, although about a month's work still remains to be done before this 13 completed. Everything in the present house 13 new. An interesting fact also is that all the furniture.

PRIEST RISKS LIFE AT FIRE Braves Flames in Rectory to Rescue Vestments. Blaze Believed to Have Been Caused While Altar Boy Was "Stealing" a Smoke. Through the efforts of the Rev. Daniel 'Callahan, the priestly vestments of the Church of the Immaculate Conception, at Leonard and Maujer streets, were saved from being destroyed by fire which broke out late yesterday afternoon in the building formerly used as the rectory in Maujer street, directly adjoining the church. The Rev.

Father O'Callahan at the time was entertaining the Rev. George Henn in the new rectory on Leonard street. Father 'Callahan was attracted by shouts and on entering the yard in the rear of the old rectory saw smoke coming from the rear windows of his former home. In the meantime smoke had also been noticed issuing from the front windows by Peter Schafer, of 207 Leonard stret, who secured the key to the fire box and turned in an alarm. After being informed that an alarm had been turned in Father O'Callahan, heading a number of residents.

rushed into the burning building for the purpose of saving the vestments. This was accomplished. When the firemen arrived Father O'Callahan led them to the roof of the new rectory, from which position they had plenty of opportunity to direct streams of water through the windows into the older building as it backed up within a few feet of the buildings facing on Leonard street. The firemen located in front of the burning rectory on Maujer stret, found the stairway leading to the second floor ablaze: and after some lively work managed to confine the fire to the first floor and had no further trouble extinguishing it. Father O'Callahan estimates that the loss on building and contents will not exceed $1,000.

How the fire started is a mystery. A8 there were no lights or fire in the building. It is believed, however, that one of the altar boys might have been stealing a smoke and a spark dropped unnoticed among the cassocks and smoldered until it broke into a blaze, FOUND DEAD ON HIS BOAT. Heart Failure Ended Life of Charles B. Raynor, Elderly Freeport Bay Captain, (Special to The Eagle.) Freeport, L.

April 30-Captain Charles B.

There is a remarkable scarcity of domestic servants according to a report which Commissioner of Licenses Herman Robinson has filed with Mayor Gaynor. commissioner says that while one might argue that the higher wages paid them should increase their ranks the opposite is the fact.

During the recent strike of shirtwaist makers, when thousands of young working women were out of employment, it might be assumed that the East Side employment agent; would find an increase in applicants for domestic service. But not one of the strikers sought employment as a servant, while on the other hand servants gave up their places to work as shirtwaist makers. Immigration is not increasing the number of servants as it formerly did in proportion to the market demand, ar; only the immigrant girls lowest in the social scale will enter domestic service. The report con "In continues: in Ontario the goverament is preparing to pay a bonus of $5 for each servant brought into the province by the Salvation Army or any other reliable agency. On the East Side of Manhattan the employment agencies willingly pay a bonus to who brings them candidates service." everyone.

The report goes on to say that the wages of servants has increased about $2 a month ove- last year. In 1909. cooks were receiving $24 a month: waitresses. general houseworkers, $17.50. This year cooks receive $26 a month; waitresses.

$25, and general houseworkers, $18.75. CHILD HASN'T TWO HEADS. Richmond Hill Girl Did Possess What Resembled Two, but Now Has Merely an Abnormal Cranium. Stories of the existence, in Richmond Hill. of a 6-year-old girl with two well developed heads and as many faces were denied by the father of the girl, John 0.

Neison, at his home yesterday afternoon. when called upon by an Eagle reporter. Mr. Nelson lives at 4114 art avenue, Richmond Hill. with his wire and two children, a little girl.

Gladys. 6 years old, and an infant boy. Flo eXplained that his little girl did not have two faces, but had an abnormally large head. This, when the child was born, he de. clared was divided into tWo distinct parts, the line of division running from the center of the forehead down to the back of the neck.

Later skin, covered by 8 thick growth of hair. grew over the division and now he declares, except for the abnormal size of the cranium, there is nothing unusual about the child's head. Gladys is a cripple and has never been able to walk, but her parents said that she is bright of intellect, speaking both English and German fluently, and plays the piano with considerable skill. Since erroneous reports concerning the child's deformity have been spread broadcast Mr. and Mrs.

Neleon say that they have received many letters from muse. ums asking to see the child and containing propositions relative to exhibiting her as a curiosity. All have been ignored. The child could not be seen by the reporter, as the parents said that she was at present staying with her grandmother in East New York. Mr.

Nelson, aside from stating that the residence was "near the ferry," would not tell her exAct address. because he said that the grandmother would be annoyed by reporters. STOCK HALF PAID IN. (Special to The Eagle.) Albany.

Lorena Downer, one of the teachers in Public School No. 49 Annex. in Jamaica, which is alleged to be unsanitary and menace to the health of pupils and teachers, has been stricken with typhoid fever, and is seriously ill at her home in Park Circle.

Elizabeth Thomas, of 21 Sycamore avenue, Corona, who had her husband arrested last, in Jersey City, on bigamy, will enen Wednesday, deavor not only to have him sent to jail, but will bring an action against wife No. 2. formerly Miss Tessie Walters of Middle Village for damages for the alienation of her husband's affections. That was her statement, made to an Eagle reporter at her home last night. She further said that she will try and obtain all the household goods that are in her husband's new home, 01 the ground that the money she earned bad purchased them.

In the interview she made the following statements: week ago a woman called at my house and told me that my husband had gone over to New Jersey to get married to a girl named Tessie Walters ol Middle Village. went to Jersey City to the address given me, found thac they were resining at place. Then I went to the register's office and founa that on March 2 my husband was ried by the Rev. Thomas Pencer, pastor of the Methodist Church, Jersey City, to Miss Tessie Walters of Middle Village. "Last Saturday I called at the home of the mother of Miss Walters and called her attention to the fact, and she told me that she knew her daughter had married Mr.

Thomas, and that she stood that he was a widower and had two children, who were in the eare of his sister-in-law, in Sycamore av, Corona. On Sunday I called on Miss Walter's sister, and before had a chance to speak to her I was told to clear out. "Monday morning 1 went to the district attorney's office, in Manhattan, where I asked for some advice, and was informed that I had to go where the crime had been committed. 1 then went to the district attorney in Jersey City, and obtained a warrant for my husband's arrest. "My husband got acquainted with Miss Walters when he was a motorman on the New York and Queens County Railway.

"Last New Year's was the first inkling had that my husband was keeping comhe visited my mother's company pany with Miss Walters. gravers told that with a woman, placed two handsome wreaths there, and later I learned they were placed on the grave by Miss Walters. I was not feeling well and I could! not go to the cemetery. "When I married Mr. Thomas, in 1904.

he was a widower, and I am thankful know that, because I saw his wife buried, or else I would think she was still alive. He had two children, the youngest being two years old, and the other five years old. I have cared for these children ever since. never thought my husband would do such a thing, as he was an evangelist and claimed to have saved many souls. Now, will ask those he has saved to endeavor to save his soul.

Just think of it; he even preached in the churches time and time again. "He has asked me to forgive him, and said that he would return home with Just think of that man's nerve. I will never forgive him as long as I live. He must suffer. and so must his new only regret that the law is not more severe than it is.

"The household goods in his new home are much better than those in my home. For months back he was not giving me the wages that he formerly gave me and now I see taht it has gone to the support of his second wife." Miss Walters parents are florists in Middle Village. and it is said that they are quite wealthy. Mrs. William Thomas, No.

2, could not be found at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry J. Walters. in Middle Village this morning.

When the charges of bigamy against her daughter's husband were mentioned the mother broke down and wept, but refused to tell how the evangelist had won the affections of her daughter. young woman is not living In Middle Village. she declared. Neighbors the family were shocked when they heard of the affair. One of them told an Eagle reporter that it had been reported around the village previous to the marriage, that Thomas had a wife and family living in Corona.

but Thomas, it is declared by others. represented himself as a widower. He had, it was asserted. been keeping company with the Walters girl for nearly a year and had married her on March 3, 1910, in New Jersev. where they had since lived.

While in Middle Village William Thomas pretended to be a very devout evangelical worker among the motormen and conductors, and had preached on at least one occasion in the Methodist Episcopal Church at Middle Village, and won the hearts of his listeners by his fervent oratory. The present address of Mrs. Thomas No. 2, is said to be 116 Bostwick avenue. Jersey City.

Haskell of Oklahoma, and five business men of Muskogee, has been set for May 4, in the Federal Court here. HYLAN REPLIES TO MAYOR'S CRITICISM Dismissal of Excise Cases Before Him Justified, Says Brooklyn Magistrate. PREPARED TO MEET CHARGES. Believes There Should Have Been Investigation of the Facts Before Criticism Was Made. Brooklyn magistrates are much stirred up over Mayor Gaynor's letter to Police Commissioner Baker asking a detailed report on the dismissal by Magistrate Hylan of five liquor tax cases on the ground that the tax certificate was not brought into court.

The Mayor, in his letter, gives evidence that he has lost patience with magistrates who make "disorderly" rulings, and. intends to see that complaint is the Appellate Division, with the request for their removal. Magistrate Hylan, answer, declares that the stenographer's notes, taken at the trial of the five cases before him, will justify his action. The Mayor's letter reads: "In respect of the magistrate in Brooklyn who dismissed the five liquor tax cases on the ground that the tax certificate was not brought into court, be so good As to give me a written report, the names of the cases, the name of the magistrate, the court stenographer's minutes and all the particulars. It is time that complaint be made to the Appellate Division for the removal of magistrates who make disorderly rulings, and we must take that in hand, Please keep a record of them as they occur.

It is useless for the police to do their duty only to be thwarted by ignorant or dishonest judicial rulings." Mayar Gaynor has been keeping his eye on the magistrates ever since he has been in office. His letter to Magistrate Harris a month ago, announcing to him his appointment, indicated this, and he is said to have filed away considerable evidence of dereliction of duty on the par: of some city magistrates. The general public. realizing 'his attitude, has supplied him with considerable information The cases in Brooklyn to which the Mayor probably refers. came up before Magistrate Hylan on Wednesday.

The defendants were Michael Murphy of 41 Snyder avenue, John Ahrens of 1529 Nostrand avenue, Thomas C. Pierce. Nostrand and Vernon avenues; Hedwig Debold. 1203 Nostrand avenue. and John Fenimore, 454 Lincoln road.

Charles Russell was counsel for all the saloon men. Magistrate John F. Hylan when seen to-day his office in the Hart building, 1028 Gates avenue, issued the following statement: "It the cony of the letter from the Mayor to the Police Commissioner, as published in the press correct and refers to any action of mine, I wish to say that when I was appointed a city magistrate I took an obligation under oath to do my duty, which I have always tried to fulfill, and intend to continue to do so as long as I am a city magistrate, whether it be for a day or a year, as the case may be, without fear or favor from any source. "If a city magistrate were. through fear of someone, to hold a person for the higher court and send such person to jail without sufficient evidence to hold, thereby compelling him to secure a bondsman if he would have the liberty which the constitution and laws of the land allows him, and also to employ an attorney to defend him, such a magistrate would be violating his oath of office and would be totally unfit for such a responsible position.

"In fairness and justice to the magistrate referred to in the letter, it would seem to me that an investigation should have been made and the true facts ascertained before any accusation of wrongdoing or any criticism was made of the judicial rulings of the magistrate. "The testimony taken in any cases before me will show. upon what ground any is disposed of, one way or the other. "I shall continue to do my duty, while on the bench; discharging those where there is not sufficient to hold or convict. and hold or convict those where there is sufficient evidence.

This is my conception of a magistrate's duty, and I am prepared to meet any charges or criticism of my judicial conduct in the co courts over which I preside, or of any cases which I may dispose of, it matters not what tribunal it may be brought before." MORE SALOON MEN UP. Three Before Magistrate Nash in Flatbush, Making Eighteen on Whom Warrants Were Served. Three more Flatbush saloonkeepers were in the Flatbush court to-day on charges made by police of the Flatbush station, who say they violated the provisions of Section 30, Clause of the Liquor Tax Law, in not having their bars fully exposed to view, last Sunday. The saloonkeepers, who are Fred Gaennele, of 864 Utica avenue; Harry Kroh, of 2109 Nostrand avenue, and Charles E. Rice, of 80 Rutland road, declare they carried out the provisions of the law to the letter.

They pleaded not guilty 10. Magistrate Nash in the Flatbush court, this morning, and were held for examination May 11. The police have now served warrants on eighteen Flatbush saloonkeepers. SUFFRAGISTS RALLY Canon Chase and Robert H. Elder to Speak to Them.

The reason why a few men should oppose millions who demanded a cheaper gas rate is obvious. The same men refuse to even consider the appeal of women for fair play while those same men loudly shout for it themselves.

Man seems, when you consider this question of equal suffrage, to be but removed from the bar. baric ages when decked in gay feathers and armed with a spear he proclaimed himself a hero because of his brute strength. But the day of fighting and brute force is fast passing away from us, the time of statesmen and philosophers is at hand and the cry of the wom. an who lg forced from her home to labor so that she may live will be surely heard." Canon Chase expressed his pleasure at having an opportunity to volce his belief In the right of women to enfranchisement. "The cry that to allow women to vote would take her out of the home, is absurd under present day conditions.

Give woman equI I said Canon Chase, "and you will soon see our womrestored to their homes where they are needed and should be and where ture intended they, conditions should the family continue. must Unpresent separate and the community life la lost." The Canon earnestly urged all present to become active evangelists in the cause. Miss Hay, Miss Craft, Mrs. Hackstaff and Mrs. Brunner also appealed to the big audience to use their influence in the cause of equal suffrage, and at the conclusion of the meeting A large number of men and women signed the roll.

MUST TAKE OFF 40 POUNDS. Men of Flatbush Precinct Will Act as Trainers to Help Him Accomplish Feat. Paddy Byrnes and his blue ribbon winner, Frank, the intelligent horse which he had ridden for fourteen years, are together again.

Paddy, who was dismounted because of his weight two weeks ago, was parted from his quadruped friend by being assigned to duty in the Elizabeth street station, Manhattan, after serving faithfully in Flatbush precinct for eighteen years. The blow at being dismounted and separated from Frank was the cause of rendering the heavy policeman ill, and during the two weeks he has been separated from Frank he has been the most inconsolable bluecoat on the force. Byrnes weighs 220 pounds, which is about forty-six pounds above the weight limit. The order came from Police Commissioner Baker two weeks ago to transfer Paddy and the sorrowful be news was imparted to him by Lieutenant Frank Finn. Byrnes was on reserve when Finn summoned him and told him he was transferred and was to take leave of Frank that day.

"Stop your fooling, Lieutenant," said Byrnes. "You can't. part me from Frank for a fortune." "It's true, just the same, old man. The order is here in black and white, and you are to go on foot duty to Chinatown." During the two weeks Byrnes was away he had made frequent trips to the stable on Snyder avenue to see the horse. To Byrnes' surprise he learned yesterday that he was to be transferred back to Flatbush, but to his regret he also learned that he was to do duty afoot; that another man was to ride his horse.

Paddy presented his case to the police commissioner, however, and Byrnes was told he could have his horse back again if he reduced to the required weight 111 two months' time. "If you come to us weighing about 180 pounds in two months you can have your mount again," he was informed. When "Paddy" told his comrades the news they promised to give him a lift. The men are going to take "Paddy" to a gymnasium and help train him, They will form a baseball team and for two months will nut him through all kinds of stunts in order reduce his weight. Lieutenant Finn told the men since he was the one who gave "Paddy" his bad news he will take charge of the training directions, BROOKLYN BILL SIGNED.
