Bare Fists Are Good Enough for Decent Americans, the Court Declares. Judge Aspinall, in ttie criminal term at the County Court, after grappling with a number of cases where carrying concealed weapons by Italians were the feature, gave vent to hie disgust at the Italian habit of going about Ifke an arsenal, instead of depending upon good, hard fists, like Americans, and he plainly said what he would do If he had the eay. He'd banish the whole lot back to their native land. Nicola Petruebio, giving his address as 227 North Ninth street, has been in this country nine years. A dagger and a pistol had been found on him and he was arraigned upon an indictment charging with carrying concealed weapons.

He pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor. "What do you mean, going about armed with an arsenal?" asked the judge, severely. "Why Is it you Italians have to go about with knives, pistols, rifles and spiked shoes, when decent American citizens can go anywhere armed with nothing but their bare fists?" This was interpreted to the Italian by the court interpreter, and Nicola shrugged his shoulders. He then replied volubly and at length, which, being interpreted into English, gave the court the information that he used the knife in the rag business, and as for the pistol well, just happened to have it with him. that's all.

This didn't satisfy the court 9. bit as a reasonable explanation. "You Italians and Sicilians always have to go about with piBtols and stilettos! I'd like to banish the whole lot of you!" Then "Mike" Scavona of 96 Vesta street was brought in. A 6-inch stiletto, a most vicious looking weapon, was produced as his favorite pocket piece. He was to plead to the samo offense as Nicola, and he evidently thought he was to be sent away for life, so beseechingly did he eye the stern judge.

"What's this? Another case of going around armed to the teeth?" The knife was handed up to the court. Judge Aspinall took the blade and jammed it into the desk. "This is a fine thing for you to be carrying about," he directed the interpreter to tell the Italian. "You might as well be carrying a broadsword. I tell you now that this thing of carrying such weapons has got to stop.

There is no necessity for it. We have a sufficient police force to protect all citizens without their resorting to this sort of thing for protection." The two men who pleaded guilty will be sentenced next Monday and then Judge As-Jiinali took up the case of Antonio Oallo, charged with shooting a fellow Italian on Lefferta place, where both were working. The evidence showed that there was bad blood between the two, and that the complaining witness had been "looking" for Gallo. The testimony further showed that both opened fire, and that the complaining witness unloaded five shots at Gallo without hitting him. The Jury- brought in a verdict of not guilty against Gallo and he was let go.

"The only thing about these shootings," observed Judge Aspinall to the jury, "is that they so seldom kill each other. If they did it would be one way of getting rid of the kind that make a practice of carrying concealed weapons." ITALIAN BURIED IN TRENCH. Bluecoat Made a Gallant Effort to Save Unfortunate, but Was Unsuccessful. Charles Ambruslo, 24 years old, of 3006 Atlantic avenue, was this morning buried under six feet of earth in a trench in which ho was working at the corner of Sutter avenue and Grafton street. It was an hour and a half before the man was taken from the trench dead.

Ambrosio and James Cassl, two of a gang of Italians engaged in laying ji sewer pipe from the sewer main in the street to a house at the corner of the above ramed avenues, were in the trench, which has attained a depth of about fifteen feet, being eight feet wide at the top and four at the bottom. Cassl, who escaped with slight bruises, was standing at the time of the earth gave way, but Ambruslo was lying on his stomach shoveling toward the house. Patrolman Isaacson worked with a shovel in a futile attempt to rescue the Italian. Frank Mirando, 31 years old. of 1252 Elton street, the only Italian in the gang who -ould speak English, was placed under arrest by Patrolman Isaacson and taken to the Brownsville station as the foreman of the gang.

Mirando said that the work was be-ins; done for Contractor Frank Catapano, of 2-10 Elton street. Detective Connolly has been put on the lookout for Catapano, with instruction to arrest the contractor on a charge of homicide. Arrested (Separately) with a Couple of Boxers by Raiders on a "Smoker." MILES O'REILLY IS SHOCKED. He's Sure an "Altogether Dance" Was Intended, but the Girl Files a Fierce Denial. Captain Miles O'Reilly got a tip shortly before 1 o'clock this morning, the thirty second anniversary of his becoming a po liceman, that an "altogether" dance, such as Royal Arcanum members attended In Clinton Hall, Gates and Reid avenue, re cently, was to take place in a lodge room at 1 and 3 McDougal street.

Within ten minutes the captain with Sergeant James Smullen, and all of the reserves were in the patrol wagon on the way to the place where the dance was scheduled to be held To-day as the result of the captain's ac tivity there were five prisoners In the Gates avenue court, one of them closely resem bling the woman who posed as "Little Egypt" at the entertainment in Clinton Hnll The woman, who gave her namo as Minnie Burton, and her address as 143 West Ninety first street, Manhattan, was charged with vagrancy. There had been no dancing In the hall; the police had arrived before the first number. A glove contest had really begun. The raiders found two young men stripped to the waist, and gloved, In a ring formed by benches surrounded by forty spectators. They also found a grip which contained among other things a scarf of gauze and a pair of pink slippers such as "Little Egypt" wore at the Royal Arcanum affair.

Miss Burton was the only woman in the room at the time of the arrival of the police. Four of the prisoners, charged with aid ing and abetting a sparring exhibition when arraigned in court to-day gave their names as George Jones, 28 years old, of 1 nnd 3 McDougal street; George Bittle, 23 years old, of 226 Ralph avenue; Charles Strubel, 23 years old, of 60 Buffalo avenue. and John Bormann, 22 years old, of 1910 Fulton street. Jones Is said to be the proprietor of the hall; Bittle, the manager of the entertainment, and Strubel and Bormann, the pugilists. For Bome days tickets had been In circu lation uptowa tor a stag and smoker, "to be held under the auspices of the ITYTM F.

at Lohmann's Park, Wyona avenue and Liberty street, Monday evening, April 9, P.M." The price of the tickets was fl each. Conspicuous on the ticket was this line; j8' Captain Cullen. of the Liberty avenue sta. tlon, had heard about the ticket sale, and Is said to have remarked that he might arop in to look over the performance. However this may be, the tickets and the seller appeared at the McDougal street ad dress last night.

Somebody told Sergeant smuue-n or tuetr suspicions early this morn ing, and that was all that was required to start tne bail arolllng. The patrol wagon, with its load of blue-coats, stopped at Ralph avenue and Marion street, two blocks away from the hall on McDougal street. The balance of the trip was made on root, captain O'Reilly and his men ascended to the second floor in time to see several young men departing. la walked tne captain and the sergeant. All became excitement.

The two men in the ring pulled off their gloves and tossed them behind the niono. while somebody cast a small box in the same direction. 'Miss Burton, who had been standiag in the midst of the forty men gathered about the ring, screamed and ran Into the hall, followed by others. All were corraled and made to give their addresses. after which they were permitted to depart, with tne exception or tne rive named.

Sergeant Smullen was quick to gather up the gloves and the small wooden box. He also took charge of tho suit case. The suit case was not produced in court, but the Jack-iH-the-Box was, and shocked his honor very much. The four men accused were held in (200 bail each for examination on April 17. Miss Burton was asked her age by the pro batlonary officer, Mrs.

Tietgen, and she re plied; "You don't expect me to tell that. I'm over 4, but feel as though I was 104. When asked If stie was under contract to do an altogether dance, the woman renlled hotly that she was not. and that the best dance, that, did not depend for success so much on the movements as It did on the Are in tne eye of the dancer. A night in a station house had not Im proved the appearance of Miss Burton.

Her red tat was a bit askew, and she kept her oiue veil over tier dark features most of the time until ordered to lift it by the court. "How do you plead to this charee of va grancy?" asked Magistrate Furlong, when the woman was Drougnt Derore him. "Not true, of course: I'm a professional singer," came the reply, with much emphasis. men you pieao not guilty? "Yes, I do." "How about that, Caotain O'Reilly?" "I presume she Is rleht. ahnnt thA ftinuins My officers tell me tbls woman does muscle ana Spanish dances, and in a nude state." "Shocking!" remarked the court.

"When do you wish to go on with the examination?" "Immediately," replied the woman. RECORD CARGO OF P. R. SUGAR. Luckenbach Arrives With 46,000 Bags of the Product.

The Bteamship J. L. Luckenbach, recently chartered by the New York and Porto Rico line, arrived yesterday afternoon from San Juan, Jobos, Ponce, Mayaguez, Aguadllla and Arecibo. She brought 46,115 bags of sugar, the largest cargo that ever came here from the island. She will be followed in a few days by the Lewis Luckenbach, another chartered ship, which Is expected to have a still larger cargo of sugar on board than that brought by the J.

Is to Build Modern Ships Th Modern Ships Is the SHOULD BE OPEN IN 1910 Tantalizing Legal Obstacles Sur mounted; Stevenson Ready to Open Proposals.

WILLBEWIRE CABLE STRUCTURE Bridge Commissioner Satisfied That He Has Found the Quickest Way of Solving Crush Problem. After years of litigation and bickering. In which large interests were involved, the Manhattan Bridge is to be built at last. It will be a wire cable bridge and, if all goes well, it should be opened to the public on New Yoer's Day, 1910. Bids for the construction of the anchor ages, the towers, the cables and the superstructure of the bridge were Invited In the City Record this morning, and Commissioner Stevenson later made a statement concerning the bridge.

The proposals will be opened at 2 o'clook on Monday, April 30, and as soon as tabulations of the bids have been made and it Is determined which bid is the most advantageous for the city, the contract will be awarded. Three and one-half years from the date when tho contractors are or dered to go to work the specifications to-clare that the construction must be com pleted. All materials for construction of the anchorages must be delivered at the bridge within six months. This means that the actual work of construction will begin before that time. The new specifications," said Commis sioner 8tevenson this morning, "have been drawn so as to meet the objections that were raised by the courts to the old specifications.

In the new, we have decided to use nickel steel and In another Important particular we have amended the specifications. They are now drawn to Include basic steel, which Is the steel most generally used by railroads and other large corporations in the construction of bridges. By naming this kind of steel, I hope to secure a wider field of competition. There are some parts of the bridge which will have to be constructed with the nickel steel, but the larger part of it can be built with the basic steel. "I would like to say at this time, when the decision is made, that I did not reject the eye-bar cable method of construction merely because nobody appeared In favor of It at the hearing which was called In the Controller's office.

I have made a long and careful study of the two methods of construction and have consulted the best experts In the country on the matter. My conclusions are that In the case of this bridge the eye-bars would be more expensive and would require a longer time for construction. Work on the Manhattan bridge has progressed to such a point that if the eye-bars had been substituted It would have necessitated many changes In the work, and it would have been more expensive. Had I been called upon to deal with the relative merits of the two forms of construction from the beginning, before any work had been done on the bridge, I do not care to say a word, but taking things as they were, I determined that the quickest way to get the bridge, was to adopt the wire cables. "Regarding the suggestion that alternate bids might have been invited for the two methods, I consulted with several lawyers on the point, and most of them told me that such proposals would not be legal.

Others were of the opinion that they would be legal, but admitted that there would be a doubt, and all agreed that the question would be open until It had been tested up to the Court of Appeals. This would have meant a delay of at least three years, and I did not want any more delays." The new specifications have been drawn with a view to avoiding any possible litigation, although it is not anticipated that there will be any further legal proceedings. The trial of the issues of the rejected bids has yet to come, but the city Is not a party to these and the Pennsylvania Meet torn pony will probably go it alone. The old bids were opened by former Commissioner George IS. Best and the Pennsylvania Steel Company proved to be the low est bidder.

Mr. Best announced his inten tlon of awarding the contract to that conv pany when he was enjoined from so doing by one of the other bidders. Objection was made to the terras of the specifications, the claim being made that it left to the engin eer of the department the choice of nickel or high carbon steel. Justice Dowllng. who granted the Injunction, was sustained by the higher courts on the points of law and the trial of the issues were left open.

The Pennsylvania Steel Company Intends to press this trial, It Is understood, and was anxious to have the city await the decision In the case, but It will take three years before the case Is reached and the city authorities felt that they Could not afford to delay so important a work for such a long time. The city and the Pennsylvania Steel Company are on the best of terms and It Is not ex pected that any legal complications will arise out of the pending case. Tho Manhattan Bridge will be the largest of all the bridges across the East River and when it Is completed, the city officials hope that the Brooklyn Bridge crush problem will be solved. All bidders for the contract will be required to deposit with their bids a certified check equal In amount to per cent, of their bids. Each must put up $1,600,000 as a guarantee for the faithful performance of the contract.

Too much mother-in-law is the reason ascribed by young Mrs. Ida Lyall, of 1025 Klntbush avenue, near Avenue Wostmin-ster Heights, as the cause of her marital unhanplness.

which was aired In the Flat-bush Court this morning, when Bho preferred a charge of abandonment against hor husband, James Lyall, of 714 East Thirty-fifth street, Vanderveer Tark. The husband, who Is 28 years old. engaged in the export business In Manhattan, and hia wife, ot the same age, a tall and handsomu brunette, well known throughout lower Flatbush, have been married but eighteen months. They have one child, 6 months old. Mrs.

Lyall is the daughter of J. Frederick Rlninsland, a well-to-do Flatbush barber. While it Is against her husband that Mrs. Lyall brought the specific charge, her statements of this morning Indicate that she partially exonerates the defendant and blames her mother-tn-law. Mrs.

Catharlno Welford. of 714 East Thirty-fourth street, for the various episodes which culminated in the police court action of to-day. Sho admitted that there had been a pre-nuptial agreement, to which she bad submitted, that they were to live at tho home of the mother-in-law after they were married. She added, when speaking ot the casa after court ihis morning, that it she "had knowu a few things," she would never have beon a party to the agreement. According to this ar rangement, tile young couple took up abode after a short honeymoon trip, ft Mrs.

Welford's residence In Vanderveer Park. All went well for a little while until, as Andrew Corbln. Mrs. Lyall's counsel, said, tho duty of a son toward his mother and or a husband toward his wife began to conflict and to give riBo to little episodes which did not tend to enhance the affectionate relations existing between the young woman and her mother-in-law. Mrs.

Lyall began to tninK that her love for her husband and little nt-fcctlonate attentions to him were not relished by the older woman. One day while James was away ar. business," said Mrs. Lyall. "I went down lown and bought a nlco Morris chair for him.

I thought It would be somolhing which he would llko to stretch out in when he enmo homo tired from business. Mrs. Welford was out when the chair arrived and I placed it in the parlor where James could see it when he came in that night. A little later Mrs. Welford came In and spied the chair.

'What right have you to go and buy that chair and put. it in my parlor? she asked me. I told her that It was for James. Then she told me that no one could bring any furniture into her house or buy any chairs for her son but herself, and that I could lake my chair out. "It was not long before the same thing happened with a picture which I had hung up In the parlor.

Mrs. Welford told mo to take it clown, as her house was for her things and for no one else's, and, furthermore, that I had no right to act so In a house which was not my home. With It ail I was doing my share of the housekeeping. But things went from bad to worse and finally matters got bo between Mrs. Welford and I that we did not get along at all well.

James seemed to me to be tak ing his mother's sldo In everything and did not seem to have any will but hers. In the midst of it alt my baby was desperation one day, the young wife says, that she told her huband that he must choose between her and his mother; that If he wanted his wife he must provide a bome tor ner that was her own. Bhe was told, she says, to wait three days, and sho would then receive an answer. She waited three days but no answer was forthcoming, so she went to her father, Mr. Rlninsland, and told hlra her troubles.

"dive your husband a little more time," she says her father told her. "Walt a week or so and then see what Ib the result." A week ten days, she said, she waited and then went to her father again. Thereupon he went to see his son-in-law himself. He says young Lyall told him that Ida had a good home there, that Bhe was treated properly and that, If she didn't like it, she knew what Bhe could do. She knew very AMUSEMENTS.

WASHOUT IN THE TUNNEL No Serious Damage Done, but There Was a Long Interruption of Street Traffic. A washout in the subway at Court street, ear Joralemon, early this morning, displaced the supports of the tunnel, and so weakened the upper shell forming the high way above that all traffic at this point was suspended for about nine hours. The trouble began at 2:45 this morning, and the cars were not running on Court street until noon.

In all 2.36 Inches of rain foil yesterday, the largest downpour the entire winter and spring. The subway at many points Is unroofed, and as a consequence the tunnel soon became flooded with water. When the men at work there this morning saw the supports under tho street surface weakening and in some cases falling over, they promptly notified the Adams street police station. At the same time thay called up the Brooklyn Rapid Transit offices, and direc tions were at once sent out to cease using Court street for railroad purposes. lasted all the cars that have been used on Court street, from Atlantic avenue to Joralemou street, were operated on Boerum place.

The police stationed a substantial guard at the corner of Joralemon and Court streets and another a couple of blocks away, so as to prevent all traffic over the weakened surface of the street. No damage was done to the tunnel Itself and the weakened props were replaced by stronger ones at once. A BOOK OF DON'TS. Justice Gaynor Could Publish It If He Had Kept a Diary. Supreme Court Justice William J.

Gaynor was the guest last night of the Phi Delta Phi Club, at Its monthly dinner at the Hotel Marlborough, Manhattan, and, In discussing legal matters during an address that had many "don'ts" in It for lawyers, he took co caslon to assert that pleading had become a lost art with some attorneys. Speaking from the experience not only as a trial Judge, but an Appellate Division Judge as well, Justice Gaynor said that lawyers were In the habit of making long arguments, which wearied the Justices and did not help the pleaders' cases because they did not come to the point quickly. He said the same thing applied to lawyers who tried cases before Jurors. The latter preferred attorneys who got at the meat of the issue without bewildering them with a wilderness of words. Come to the point In your arguments," said the speaker.

"Don't trouble yourselves about small things but come to the point, If I could keep a diary of my twelve years on the bench I would write a book of 'don'ts' that every man in our profession would buy. It is no business of the bench to put the un educated lawyer on a par with the educated lawyer. The lawyers who appreciate this fact are appreciated by the bench. S. S.
