Washington avenue, Bergen street, Flatbush avenue, Ful ton street, Washington street and Brooklyn Bridge to Manhattan. Transfers will be is sued the same as from the Douglass street line, and also with several additions.

Jne lompkins avenue cars began running over the Williamsburg Bridge for the first time this morning. Transfers will be Issued at Broadway and Havemeyer street. This change will enable passengers using the TontpklnB aveuue line to cross the bridge wnnout translerrlng.

Annunciato Bafaelo, a Stowaway, Had a Narrow Escape From Death on S.i S. Nord America. Annunciato Rafaelo, a stowaway on the Itnllan La Veloce steamship Nord America, missed a horrible death by only a few sec onds, this morning, as tho liner was making ready to drop nnchor at Quarantine Station preparatory to the examination of the ship by the health officers.

Captain De Barbleri Giovanni Baptlste had given the order to lower tho port anchor when agonizing screams were heard by the sailor In charge of the donkey engine on the main deck forward coming from below in tbe forecastle. The engine bad been started and tho huge anchor chain was being paid out slowly when the sailor heard the cries from below and he slopped tbe engine wllh an enquiring look toward the Nord America's captain. who wns on the bridge. Investigation showed that. Rafaelo, one of three stowaways, had hidden In the anchor chain locker and had been caught In the colls of the chain as It was being paid out through the anchor port.

When he was brought on deck Rafaelo swooned. He said, when he waB revived, that he had made his escape from Ihe room where he and his two companions had been locked up, hand cuffed, and had made his way to a little dark chamber where he thought he would be able to hide until after tho shin had reached her pier. He did not know he was In the anchor chamber and the first he knew was when the chain began to move, like a huge snake and his foet were caught In the coils. It was then that he called for help and. luckily, the engine was stopped Just In time to prevent tho stowaway from being crushed slowly to death in the colls of the heavy chain.

WANTS ROOSEVELT FOR MAYOR. Would Be a Great Thing for New York, Says Jacob Riis. (Special to the Eagle.) Washington, February 1 Jacob Rils, of New York, who lectured lust night before a church society on "The Battle With tho Slums," again denied to reporters that he had said President Roosevelt would be candidate for a third term. "For my part," eaid Mr. Riis, "I wish he would consent to be candidate for the office of Mayor of New York after bis term President expires.

That Is the only office he ever ran for and was deleated. It would bo a great thing for New York if Mr. RooBe veil wi re Mayor. That Is not saying that Mr. MeC'lellan is not a good Mayor.

He is a good Mayor, and I voted for him lost year, despite the fact that he is connected with the Tammany organization. The Good People Of Richmond Can Leave TheSr Want Ads for the Eagle At the Sloie of L. BANGERT. 3403 Jamaica Ave. Ml KKfUIVKD AT It lit.

PREPARED BY BLOODHOUNDS IN FLORIDA. Overrun With Criminnls, Who Are At tracted by a Temperate Climate in the Winter. (Special to the Eagle.) Palm Beach, February 1 New York hoboes have 'driven West i'altn Beach business men to raising a fund for bloodhounds with which to truck crimlnuls. One dog is already here, anil two others will bo received in a few days from Kentucky.

It Is white, mere than black men who are to be fol- -lowed, although there will be no race prejudice, i he extension ot' the Florida Bast Coast railroad to Key West has attracted scores of wanderers who provided with free transportation mod of the way, have jumped at iho chunce to escape a hard Northern winter. Seme of them came without the slightest, notion of doing a stroke of railroad construction, and some of them took care not to reach the end of the route. Many did reach the Keys, but got back to the mainland as soon as possible. Vagrancy laws iu Florida are more severe than those of any o'htr state, the victims ending In (he chain gungs of the phosphate mines. Therefore not being able to adopt their Northern tactics of making a living by begging, the hoboes have overrun Dad" Counly, plundering day and night and holding up men and women on lonely roads until wholesale terror prevails.

A few lawless negroes, taking advantage of the carnival of crime, aro swelling the total of offcnscB un til residents feel that Sheriff Frohock's force unnided is insutlicient. Frohork rejects the bloodhound nlan, but Palm Beach residents have resolved to lceei a kennel tor the protection of the city. H. B. Saunders, attorney, and E.

A. Walker, jeweler, have collected this week an adequate fund, and Miami, which city is the greatest- sufferer, will do likewise. A stabbing affray on Momlay night in whihe two Northern negroes figured brought the matter to a head locally. One ot the negroes, ufler disfiguring a while man's face for life, tried to stab Deputy Sheriff Martin, who finally shot hiin through the stomach. The negro died Tuesday night.

The coroner'B Jury exonerated tha deputy without retiring. ALIEN MAY LAND HERE. Fought in the United States Army, but Had Not Been Natural-" Ized. Washington, February 1 President Roose velt took prompt action on the telegram of Thomas Hayes, department commander of the Legion of Spanish War Veterans, and John H. Dnnn, formerly captain of the Twenty-eighth United States Volunteers ot Boston, regarding the ease of John J.

Bowes, Ihe former United States soldier whom It ll alleged has been de-nlcd a landing at Boston. where ho arrived from Ireland on the Bill Inst. Tho papers were sent to the Depart ment of Commerce and Labor late yestcrdaf afternoon Secretary Metealf at once re. piled that the man has not been dented landing but that action on his case simple had been deferred pendlug the outcome of the efforts being mado to place Bowes In a national soldiers home. General Martin McMahon.

president of (ba honrd of managers of National Homes Disabled Volunteer Soldiers, now has tts!) enso in hand, and Bowes, in the mcantlmO, has been made comfortable at the Immigrant station at Boston. President Roosevelt wired In reply to th telegram tbe substance of Secretary Metcalf's report. No doubt is felt here that Bowes will no cared for iu some national home. FULL CARGO OF BRAZIL SUGAR.

WILL NOT CONSULT ANY BOSS. And Vote Spelled Defeat for the Republican Lender Liberality Is Defended. Borough President Coler this morning Issued a statement making clear his position In the proceedings before the Board of Aldermen on Tuesday, when Alderman Meyers, the Republican leader, endeavored to hold up the resolution Increasing the Balary of the Controller's secretary- Mr. Coler was told that he would have to see Jacob Brenner, chairman of the Republican Executive Committee of Kings County, in relation to any matters he might have to bring up before the Board of Aldermen. Borough President Coler has now announced bis refusal to see auy politi cal leader with regard to the business of his office.

"I shall insist upon going directly to the board on all matters affecting this office with which the Board of Aldermen have anything to do," said Mr. Coler, "and I shall consult no political leader, whether he be Republican. Democrat, Municipal Ownership or anything else. If Mr. MeyerB thinks the Municipal Ownership people will help hlra deliver this office to the Republican machine, he Is very much mistaken." Mr.

Coler read In the newspapers statements which were evidently Intended to explain the political significance, of his position at the board meeting on Tuesday, and In which Alderman Meyers declared that It was his desire to save the city money which bis opponenis tried to spend out of cheap generosity. In reply Mr. Coler said: "I know something of the affairs of that olllce, and I know bow In.poriaut are the titles of the secretary to the controller. I hink the controller w-as absolutely right In liis contention that his secretary should rc- ctive $5,001) per annum, and the Board of F.stimale und Apportionment had agreed with the controller on that point. I certainly felt that it was my duty dn the Board of Aldermen to be consistent a to this matter, If nothing else.

There Is an ther question, however, which underlies all this, and which is related "Very intimately wllh Alderman Meyers' leadership In the bourd. It is something that ho forgot to mention In his published, statement. Alder man Meyers said to me that I would have to see the Hon. Jacob Brenner, chnlrman of the Republican executive committee in this ounly. In relation to any matter I might have before the Board of Aldermen.

"Now, as I understand the lesson in tho last campaign; 'it was that the rule of the bosses was about played out, I have no ob- lectlon to seeing Chnirmnn Brenner and talk ing with him about anything. He Is a most amiable and courteous gentleman, but he is also a very busy man as commissioner of Jurors, and has not. as far as I have been able to learn, time to attend to tbe details of my office." WANTED IN MANHATTAN. Professor Edward Morris Bowman Asked to Go to Calvary Baptist Church. Professor Edward Morris Bowman, who has had charge of the music in tho Baptist Temple for the last ten years, has under consideration a proposition from Calvary Baptist Church, Manhattan, the board of trustees voting it unanimously, lo take charge of the music of thai great church and organise a large chorus choir such as that In tbe Baptist Temple, rno proposition Includes an Invitation to his daughter, Miss Bessie May Bowman, as solo contralto.

Great pressuro 1b being brought to bear on l'ro- fessor Bowman to accept. Professor Bowman said this morning there was no reason under the skies why he should leave the Temple, as the choir was in excellent condition and his relations with everybody was of the most cordial kind. He had, however, the matter under advisement and should not come to any hasty decision. His answer had not yet been given to Cal vary Church, and he would accept, it he decided to do so, only on tbe ground that it afforded him an opportunity to do tbe largest possible work. He could not, he said, re ceive a greater compliment than was Implied In this invitation and everything necessary to make a successful choir will be accorded him.

WELL! MR. WOODCHUCK? Has the Winter Befooled You as It Has the Rest of Creation? With the fowls discounting their laying of eggs for a new season production by a couple of months, butter mnklng continuing at full autumn range and all vegetation ready to burst forth on a new year of life at the conclusion of but two-thirds of the calendar winter, curiosity turns to the approaching candlemas dsy with the query, what will the ground hog tell us? Tradition has it, that on that day the ground hog experiencing from natural sensibility that he has enjoyed "quite a nap" In tho burrow prenared the previous autumn for his winter's hibernation, emerges therefrom to investigate the weather and its prospects. A rather contradictory aspect Is given to the rodent's conclusions, because, according to tha tradition, if the day be bright and sunny and he perceives hlB shadow clearly defined following his movements, he decides Unit the winter is not more than half ovor and he returns to his burrow for another six weeks. On the other hand, If the day be cloudy and his shallow not discernible, he regurds the circumstances iB indicative that renewed vitality and nature consequent primitive conditions are near at hand and he at once prepares to turn them to account. How Long Island ground hogs have been affected by the most peculiar winter on reb-eord has yet to be reported.

To-morrow, though, should bring in the returns fully and settle Ihe question about February's weather. S. S. CALDERON SAILS AGAIN. She Was Damaged in a Collision Sunday Morning.

Lamport Holt's steamship Calderon made a fresh start for Manchester, England, yesterday. Sho sailed from Martin's Btores last Sunday morning, but came In collision with a tow of car flontB off Governors Island belonging: to the New Haven Lino. One float was sunk, the cars tumbled overboard nnd the Calderon had a hole stove In her starboard bow.

ACTRESS LOSES DIAMONDS. In her hurry to leave an elevated train at Ihe Alabama avenue station, yesterday afiernoon. to reach her dressing room In time for the matinee performance, Miss Eva Williams, who Is playing at the Gotham Theater, left her hand bug, conialnlng two diamond rings and other trinkeis, in the train. The police of the Liberty avenue station were notilled and are looking tor Ihe hand bug, IUY EXPLAIN THE KILLING Pelletieri Was a Home-Wrecker and His Death Does Not Surprise His Friends. BLACK HAND THEORY DISCARDED Police Believe He Was Found in Guilt and Stabbed by Infuriated Fellow Countrymen.

The original police theory that Nicolo Pelletieri, whose body, with twenty-one stab wounds, was found In a field at Sheepshead Bay on Wednesday night, was murdered by black hand assassins, was completely upset -when the police began to find out things about the dead man. He was a Don Giovanni, the police detectives now say, and his friends aro not a bit surprised that he me', a violent death. They wonder that he was not mutilated more than he was when they stop to consider that he was a home wrecker of much Industry and Insistence. Crimes against the marriage relation are regarded by the Italians of the class lo which he belonged, and from which ho seemed to be an outcast, much more seriously than they are sometimes among people of other races. And Nicolo, who had taken hi3 stepfather's name and Anglicised it into Nicholas Felter, as he sought to be known, was given to boasting of his conquests of members of the weuker sex.

Not only that Is said against him, but It is further told that be was as fickle as he was false and that, occasionally, he stooped to prollt by his con quests. Some of the Italians who know him wont so far, last night, as to say that Nicolo was of the class now known to Infamy as "cadets." Detective Sergeant Vachris and his mate. Detective Mealli, spent last night and today among the Intimates of the dead man and were more strongly convinced than ever that the new theory was the right one and that as Nicolo waB only partly dressed he was probably surprised in some bouse, when he mot with his death. And the belief is that more than one indignant Italian got at him. He may have been lured to the place where Ihe killing was done, but it seems certain that the number of wounds found on his body were not inflicted by the same person.

The condition of the remains bars the police from a close examination of the wounds, but there Is enough in their outward aspect to indicate that more than one weapon was used, for the wounds differ quite markedly. That the murder was committed some dis tance from the place where the body was found is quite apparent and the theory o( the two detectives who are working on the case, that the remains were carried to Sheepshead Bay in a wagon from some place. probably In Manhattan, where toe man amours were carried on, seems to.be quite probable. The detectives found a number of Nlco-lo's intimates last night and all of them agreed that they were not surprised that his time had come and that some Jealous husband, or sweetheart maybe, had put him out of the way, Nicolo was not prosperous, as was at first intimated, nor was he particularly industrious. He occasionally supplied contractors with labor on a commission and sometimes he worked.

But he prelerrod idleness and he wac regarded as something of a fop in his general wore good clothing usually and had money In his pock-etB, But he was not wealthy and never had much in the Indeed, he closed hiB only known account, which was in a private bank, last August. Since then he had not been seen with much cash at any time. He was a boaster, though, and gave the false impression that he was prosperous. Then lie wore a fine watch and some jewelry. There was nothing of value In his pock ets when he was found and (be chauces are that bis murderers stripped him of bis watch and rings.

The police expect before the day Is over to get closer into Nlcolo's recent history and they believe that before long they will get pretty near to the people who killed the Lothario. In view of the newer developments In the case, Ihere Is every reason lo believe that the police will not have half of the trouble In flnd.lng the murderers, for many Italians regard such a murder as a good deed well done. Tile sanctity of the home is cherished by even the roughest of the Italians in this country and their code of domestic morality is very strict. So that it is likely that those who kow anything about Nlcolo's recent doings will tell. They would not if the murder was done by black hand assassins or blackmailers.

StorleB that the man was regarded as a government Bpy are not credited by the detectives who are working on the case. FAVOR DIRECT NOMINATIONS. Richmond Hill Republican Club Arrayed Against Bossism in Politics. (Special to the Eagle.) Richmond Hill, L.

Elmer eKHIngton of 44 Lee avenue was a prisoner before Magistrate HIgglnbotham In the Lee avenue court this morning, on complaint of Frances Abrahams, who Is engaged as a clerk In her father's store at 602 Broadway.

Black braid It Was Found Under Cederberg's Trunk by the Police Investigators. A BOHEMIAN DINNER SEQUEL Owner Is Delighted, end Artist, Who Could Neither Eat Nor Sleep, Relieved Story of the Find.

The $2,000 oil painting belonging to William Miller, an art connoisseur, of 220 Broadway, Manhattan, which disappeared on Saturday last from the studio of Slegfreid Ce-derberg, a Swedish artist, of (187 Sackett street, to whom- it was given to copy, was found yesterday by Detec.lves Mortimer Oleeson and Peter Markey ot the Bergen street precinct. A general alarm as sent out by the police as soon as the owner Informed (hem of his loss. The picture wns painted by N. Dinz, measures 8 by 12 inches, and was without a frame. Detectives Gleeson and Markey searched the artist's house several times on Monday and returned there yesterday, when they became convinced that the missing picture was on the premises nod so informed the artist.

They told hiin that he would have to take apart hureau, bedsteads and other pieces of furniture nnd remove all the In the meantime the officers kept on searching for tho picture that was worth much more thnn Its weight In gold. An old trunk that was covered with dust, but which, all the same, looked as If It might contain something of more or less in terest, attracted the attention ot Gleeson and Markey. They began to overhaul It. They could find no trace the valuable painting on the Inside, but on lifting up the trunk they found to the old receptacle two pictures ol about Ihe same size. These pictures occu pied a space of about a quarter of an inch between the bottom of the trunk and the iloor.

The $2,000 painting was underneath the copy and was uninjured. How it got there is a mystery and whether It was hidden for purposes of theft or as the result of a prank played by some practical joker on a brother i artist Is a problem. Last week there was a prolonged Bohe mian frolic at. Artiat Cederberg's home and Btudio and many friends, both professional and personal, it Is said, were present. wnen Mr.

Cederberg went to look for the painting in order lo go on with his work, ho was much taken aback to find that It was gone. He Informed the owner and the latter at once made known his loss to the police. Artist Cederberg, according to report, look the matter much to heart. Ho could neither ileep nor eat. and for tho time being it looked as If there were going to be more trouble.

Tho picture represents a young couple set ting under a big tree by the roadside, and it is said by good judges to be an excellent piece of work. Mr. Miller, the owner of tbo lives at Montelair, N. J. He was much delighted at the recovery of his mioa-ing art treae-ttre.

He seemed to think that its disappearance was due more to the spirit of the Bohemian gathering than to any desire to hold the painting for a reward or otherwise to dispose of it. The quick recovery of the painting by Detectives Gleeson and Markey, It In said, is likely to lead to commendation from thorn high In police authority. The authenticity of this painting has net been questioned. Many bogus specimens are afloat, however, alleged to the work of Narciso Virgllio Diaz (1808-1870), the Bordeaux painter, who made his reputation with pictures of the Forest of Fontainebleau, and was decorated with the Icglon of Honor In lSol. A genuine one.
