MISS GAYNOR NOT TO MARRY Engagement of Mayor's Daughter Broken Off. Troth to Alexander Stewart Wetherel Was Plighted Last November. Friends of Mayor Gaynor's family have been informed that the engagement of Miss Gertrude Emily Gaynor, oldest daughter of the mayor, to Alexander Stewart Wetherel, has been broken.

The engagement was announced last November, when the Gaynors were at St. James. The news that the couple had decided to marry became publicly known to-day through a statement made by a member of Mr. Wetherel's family News of the broken engagement reached newspaper offices some time ago. Neither the Mayor, nor Mre.

Gaynor, nor Miss Gaynor had any comment to make in or relation to the breaking of the engagement. The truth of the report. however. not denied. At the Gaynor home, 20 Eighth avenue, to-day, the members of the family refused to discuss the matter.

Alexander Stewart Wetherel is 24 years old and Miss Gaynor is 19. They met several years ago, shortly after Justice Gaynor purchased his St. James home, and became attached to each other. Wetherel is the son of the Rev. Dr.

and Mrs. Wetherel, and he was staying with a sister in Smithtown, L. when he met Miss Gaynor. He was at that time preparing to enter Princeton. His mother was a member of the old Smith family of Long Island.

It was stated by the member of young Wetherel's family who made the news of the breaking of the engagement public that the young people had come to the conclusion that they were not temperamentally congenial and not suited to each other. They decided that the sensible thing to do was to break off the engagement. It was understood when the engagement was announced that it was looked upon with favor by both families.

(Special to the Eagle.) Mineola, L. March 26-The shooting of John Wolf on the farm of Peter Walters, at Port Washington, on Monday last, has led to several important arrests, and the recovery of a truck load of stolen property by the Nassau county authorities, who are to-day looking for William Blair, against whom a charge of shooting deer in the preserves at Deepdale, the estate of William K. Vanderbilt, at Great Neck, is made. A series of confessions, coupled with the excellent work of County Detective Seaman and Undersheriff Hults, has led to the discovery and arrest of what is evidently the head of the gang which has been operating in Nassau county for several months, including the our burglary and looting of Carl Berger's inn the Vanderbilt estate. When William Blair and Herman Webber were arrested on Thursday, charged with shooting Wolf, Blair turned state's evidence and gave Webber away, telling the authorities that it was Webber who did the shooting.

Webber was arrested and identified by Wolf. He was held for the grand jury. Hearing that Blair had "split" on him, Webber last night told the authorities a story which confirmed clews which Detective Seaman and Undersheriff Hults had gained. The officers were on the trail of the men who had shot deer on Mr. Vanderbilt's estate, and Webber named Blair as the culprit, and told of how the deer had been taken to a house at Garden City Park and there cut up.

Shortly before midnight last night, Seaman and Hults arrested Martin Copp and Stanley Zavasky of Garden City Park, a settlement two miles west of Mineola. and brought them to jail. The officers named, with Sheriff Foster and Deputy Buhler, went to Zavasky's home and there unearthed a truck load of stolen goods, three horses and two wagons. The loot consisted of antique furniture, tables, rugs, oil paintings, which had been cut from the frames; carpets, silverware, cut glass, etc. Many of the articles are believed to have been stolen from Carl Berger's inn, and Mr.

Berger was notified. He came to the County Court House this morning and identified the stolen goods as belonging to him. The rifle with which Webber shot Wolf was also identified by Mr. Berger as his property. One of the horses was identifled this morning by James A.

Sustrann, of 184 Columbus avenue, Manhattan, as one stolen from his stables several weeks ago. That the gang had not confided its operations to residences and hotels was evidenced in the discovery of five chairs and a table of antique design, which had been taken from the Searingtown Methodist Episcopal Church. The loot filled a large moving van, and it was nearly daylight this morning before all had been safely deposited in the sheriff's care. Blair, who turned state's evidence against Webber. was released on bail when the latter was held for the grand jury and this morning Sheriff Foster.

with Hults and Seaman, started on a hunt for the man. believed that there are others concerned in the robberies. and is possible that Copp and Zavasky will it give further important information within the next twenty-four hours. The arrests are considered the most important made in tho county for more than a vear. and are 4.10 to the shooting of Wolf followed by the treachery of Blair toward his friend.

Almost a Riot When Two Italians Start to Settle Dispute of Long Standing. Conditions were ripe for a lively row yesterday afternoon at Union avenue and South First street. The trouble started when Niclo De Batto, 28 years old, of 106 Jackson street, encountered Marinetto Kneil, 22 old. of 22 Maujer street. Both are Italians, and, it is said, had had a previous disagreement, with the result that they were ready for fight when they met.

De Balto. it is alleged, drew a razor and advanced toward Kneil, who, in turn, drew a loaded revolver and began discharging it at De Batto. Five shots were fired, four of which went wild and narrowly escaped hitting a crowd of children playing in the street. The children ran in all directions after the first shot. De Batto, flourishing the razor, continued to advance in the face of the shots until one struck him in the abdomen and he dropped on the sidewalk.

Then Kneil started to walk away. The noise of the shots had been heard by Policeman Hagenmeyer of the Bedford avenue station, who ran up and grabbed Kneil. who was pointed. out to him. The friends of latter immediately interfered and started to drag Knell away.

Some one telephoned to police headquarters, and when the Bedford avenue station was notified the reserves were turned. out. Inspector Denis Sweeney happened to be in the station house at the time and accompanied Captain Dooley. It became necessary for the policemen to use their clubs in some instances in order to make a passage. A call for an ambulance brought Dr.

WANTED FOR BOSTON ROBBERY Three Men, Claiming to Be East Side Peddlers, Arrested and Jewelry Taken From Them.

In the arrest early to-day of three East Side "peddlers," the police believe they have either captured the men who stole $18.000 worth of diamond jewelry from a store run by Samuel Ullian, Boston on the night of February 28, or their confederates. At any rate, the information was given out at Police Headquarters that one of five watches taken from the prisoners bears the same number as that on a watch stolen from Ullian. The three men said they were Jake and Joseph Goldberg, respectively 28 and 26 years old, brothers living at 30 Goerck street, and Harris Rothstein, 32 years old, of 111 Goerck street, Manhattan. Detectives Duggan and Kinsler them at Goerck and Delancey streets at about 1:30 o'clock this morning, and began to question them. All three tried to talk at once, and said they were simply push -cart peddlers on their way home.

The detectives arrested the men and hustled them to headquarters, where, besides the five watches, several rings and! will pins, not the descriptions of which the police yet divulge, were taken from them. The watch bearing the number said to be that of one of Ullian's stolen timepieces was found on Jake Goldberg. After the Ullian burglary Chief W. H. Pierce, of the Boston police, sent descriptions of the supposed robbers broadcast throughout the East, and it was through this means that Duggan and Kinsler arrested the Goldbergs and Rothstein.

Boston, March 26-The robbery of the jewelry store of Samuel Ullian, for which three men were arrested in New York today, occurred on the night of February 28 and was one of the boldest with which the local police have had to deal for some time. thieves gained entrance to the The store through a rear cellar window. cutting a hole in the floor behind the safe. and then cutting out the back of the big steel "strongbox." Ullian, accompanied by two Boston police inspectors, will go to York this afternoon and attempt to identify the jewelry found on the men under arrest. TUG BURNS OFF GLEN COVE.

Seven Men on the John T. Pratt Escape, but Lose All Their Dunnage. (Special to the Eagle.) Glen Cove, L. March 26-The captain and six men forming the crew of the tug John T. Pratt lost all their belongings when their craft was burned to the water's edge, off the breakwater at Red Spring early yesterday morning.

They had no time to save anything and were glad to escape with their lives. It was about 3 A.M. when the village firemen were called out by the fire on the tug. They had a long, hard run and when they reached the shore found 110 water supply available. They could only let the tug burn.

The Pratt was bound up the Sound, and what caused the fire could not be learned. None of the men on board would talk and all left for New York by the early train. While the firemen were at the breakwater a second alarm came from the Landing, where a small house, occupied by a Polish family was on fire. Officer McQuail took charge of the department's second hose cart and took it to the Landing. The fire had gained such headway, however, that the house was destroyed.

FELL ONE FLIGHT. Valentine Dinufrio, 40 years old, of 741 Third avenue, fell down a flight of stairs at his, residence this morning and received a severe laceration of the left cheek. The wound was dressed by Dr. of the Norwegian Hospital and Dinufrio was left at home PRENDERGAST TO FIGHT FOR MUNICIPAL BATHS Says He Expected Opposition, but That This Will Help Project. O'MALLEYAND DRESCHER BUSY Expert and Alderman Will Sketches and Estimates of Probable Cost.

"So we are going to have a little fight. The mere opposit' and especially the source from which it emanates, will serve potent argument in favor of the plan." Controller Prendergast made these remarks when his attention was called to the cries of opposition which were being made against the municipal bathhouse a a plan at Coney Island by the men who for years have controlled the monopoly of the private bathing houses at the popular resort. "Of course, we anticipated a fight." continued Prendergast, "but ours will be a winning fight." There was a deep expression of determination on Mr. Prendergast's face as he concluded his remarks. It gave a good indication of the fight which he will wage to pass the municipal bat' house project through the Board of Estimate, and since consolidation there is not a single instance in the history of the board a plan or improvement, involving the appropriation of money, suffered defeat if it had the approval of the controller.

Charles O'Malley, the real estate expert of the Finance Department, and Alderman Alexander S. Drescher are at work compiling their report and recommendations to Mr. Prendergast, based upon their studies of the baths maintained by the State of Massachusetts at Revere Beach. near Boston, Both men realize that the principal point involved with the projected Coney Island bath is simply a question of cost. Messrs.

O'Malley and Drescher believe that, if the city decides to try the experiment at Coney Island, a building should be erected which will be in keeping with the dignity of the metropolis. The buildings at Revere Beach are of concrete construction. They believe that concrete should be used in the construetion of the Coney Island baths. Various architects are being consulted by the two men, and when Mr. Prendergast brings the matter officially before the Board of Estimate, Messrs, O'Malley and Drescher expect to have rough sketches giving an idea of the different designs which may be employed in building the proposed bathing house, Their report will also include the approximate cost of the buildings erected after the various designs.

The cost. both men believe. can be kept within a sum to which no exception can be taken on the ground of extravagance. Some of the opponents of plan are relying upon the cost as the principal argument to defeat it. Alderman Drescher's attention was called to the opposition which is being developed among the bathhouse owners at Coney Island.

Dr. Chambers is one their spokesmen. "I read Dr. Chambers' statement." said Alderman Drescher. never knew he was interested in bathing houses.

Dr. Chambers should stick to his regular business. In my opinion he is making a mistake when he tries to talk about municipal bathing houses." CANARSIE BAY WORK BEGUN Dock Department Engineer Corps at the Shore. Bulkhead From Canarsie to Barren Island to Be First Built. The first start on the new improvement in Jamaica Bay was made yesterday morning when the surveying crew from the Dock Department put in its appearance at Canarsie shore in search of the great monuments, so as to get a line on the proposed new bulkhead, which they claim will run from Fresh Creek to Berm gen Beach, and then down to the east of Barren Island.

Rockaway Beach Channel, outside of this bulkhead. is to be dredged to a depth of 30 feet and 900 feet in width. This would mean that the bay in front of Canarsie shore would be cleared out almost to the old breakwater and would be deep enough for almost any steamship to come to the new Canarsie dock The crew expects that the work on this bulkhead drain will be commenced this summer. BABY HAD CLOSE CALL. Little Henry Danziger Upset a Lighted Candle and He and Aunt Were Slightly Burned.

JOE SCULLEY BRINGS JOY TO MANY YOUNG HEARTS Sends Notices That They Can Now Get Marriage Licenses. ARE IN TIME FOR EASTER License Clerk Had Refused to Give Them Permission to Wed Because of Youth. "If you will call at this office you may obtain your license to marry Rose Scuteri." This note from Deputy City Clerk Joseph V. Sculley brought great joy to the heart of Rocco Simonetti. 26 years old, of 1618 Sixtieth street, who was refused a license on March 12 to marry Rose Scuteri, 17 years.

11 months and 12 days old, because the girl was a minor, and under the new decision of Supreme Court Justice Miller, Clerk Sculley could nut then issue the license. Similar letters to this were sent to eight other couples who were refused licenses on account of either the prospective bride or bridegroom being under age, and Easter Sunday will be a happy event for the young couples, all of whom have decided to wait until 0-morrow to marry. On March 12 three couples, who were under age, applied to Clerk Sculley for licenses and they were issued, Clerk Sculley forgetting about the new decision, which had just gone into effect. But when be discovered it he sent Officer William Dermody in haste after the couples, to get back the licenses before they were married. After considerable chasing around, officer Dermody succeeded in finding Rocco Simonetti and Rose Scuteri and Gustav Daniel, 22, of 130 Suydam avenue, and Ella Schreiber, 17 years old, of 273 Troutman street, before the ceremonies had been performed.

But he reached the scene too late to prevent the marriage of Bernard Cohen, 20 years old, of 399 Chester street, and Miss Masha Myerson, 19 years old, of 496 Stone street, who were made man and wife immediately after securing the license. Those couples who received letters telling them to come down and get their licenses were: Rocco Simonetti and Rose Scuteri; Gustav. Daniel, 22, of 130 Suydam street, and Ella Schreiber, 17. of 237 Troutman street; Frederick Piatz, 25, of 775 Halsey street and Beulah Raymond, 17. of 1239 Halsey street; C.

24. of 219 Navy street, and Carmela ca Cammisa, 16, of 193 Navy street; V. J. Risolio, 20, of 1349 Sixty-fifth street, and Antoinette Napolitano, 18, of the same address: V. Cersosimo, 19, of 323 West Sixty-ninth street, and Mary Menollira, 19, of 651 Wythe avenue: Robert Reynolds, 21.

of 254 Sixth street, and Katie Hancock, 17. of the same address and Louis Mirabelli, 22. of 1460 Gates avenue, and Annie De Santo, 18, of the same address.

Theall of 192 Monstreet represents the plaintiff, and tague made the motion to Justice Stapleton to-day. According to Mr. Horgan, about two years ago, when the railroad company found that its transfer privileges were being abused, the company advertised extensively for some device that would prevent a continuous use of transfers by folk who wanted to ride down town and back home again for one fare. He responded, he says, and at a conference with the officials presented the scheme ot yellow transfers, 'followed by green ones, and certain in lines the salmoncolored transfers as a third transfer to crosstown lines. This scheme, he says, was adopted practically as he suggested it, and is now in use.

Mr. Horgan says that he has never been able to get a satisfactory settlement of his claim for pay for the scheme, which saves the company thousands of dollars each year. was promised that he would be dealt fairly with, he says, 'but he alleges that the company now claims that it had the same scheme in mind before he appeared on the scene, and that he isn't entitled to a cent.
