Y. STEAL FROM YACHTS. Gravesend Bay Owners May Organize a Rowboat Night Patrol. The thieves who annually visit the scores of yachts at anchor in Gravesend Bay have arrived for the season, and during the past week a number of yacht owners have suffered considerably. Unknown persons stepped aboard the yacht owned by Captain John Voorhees a few nights ago, and by means of a crowbar pried off a compass that had been bolted 10 the deck.

The compass is valued at $45. The thieves did not take time to unbolt the compass, but yanked the bolts through the deck, destroying a large portion of the the latter. From another yacht lying in the bay a quantity of new rope was taken. The police had been trying for a long time to locate the thieves, but have met with very little success. Some of the owners of the yachts in the bay are considering the advisability of organizing a rowboat patrol and the matter will probably be taken up by the committees of the Atlantic, Brooklyn and Bensonhurst Yacht Clubs.

all of which have stations along the shores of the bay. REFEREES APPOINTED. By Lake La Farge Leary, O' -George Billings. Matter of Quill--George Billings, New York, Brooklyn Manhattan Beach Railroad Vs. Weber -George Billings.

The order abolishing the three-platoon system and directing that the old twoplatoon system should go into operation -morrow issued yesterday by Commissioner Bingham, was a thunderclap that patrolmen, the the sun city were, shining not and counting the roses were in bloom, and when those members of the who have bought little houses, with plots about, were force, spending their spare moments with the lawnmower. It was a shocking, disagreeable jar, and the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association will see about it. The policemen are not to blame for feeling sore at the loss of the eight-hour day and the abolition of their nights at home, for the family sentiment is truly human and proper, as everybody will admit. But the necessity for more men on the streets at night was plain, and the people' who have the care of citizens in hand knew that they could not get the proper police service under the platoon system. The sentiment of Commissioner was three voiced this morning by one of his closest aides, when this official said: "We are here to see that police duty is done.

Under the three-platoon system, it was not done as it should have been. There were few men out on the streets at night, when the strength of the force should have been on duty. It would have been policy to maintain the three-platoon system, but there were not enough men, and the Board of Estimate would not make provision for more. The Commissioner is not in office to follow out the dictates of any police association; his duty is to do the best for the people. And he has found out that the people were not well served by the men, for more of the force was needed at night.

The policeman is appointed to protect the man who is in bed and asleep. If he does not do this, the policeman is not fulfilling his mission. The people pay for service at night, protection from fire, robbery and personal injury of all kinds. When they are awake they do not need it. If the police were to try to prevent gambling, for instance, they would have to get a plain clothes officer to follow every man who had sporting proclivities, for he will gamble somewhere.

And in the daytime men and women are able, pretty well, to look out for themselves. Under the three-platoon system there was no adequate protection for the people. It failed in the fact that It didn't give the service the public paid for. So it was thought better, even with the storm of protest from the policemen that was expected, to substitute the old system, the best for the public that has yet been de- vised." 0'Keeffe and Cross Silent. Deputy Police Commissioner O'Keeffe and Borough Inspector Cross declined to talk about the matter, believing, apparently, that it was politic to have nothing to say.

But the deputy commissioner presented the reporter the Eagle with figures showing that there would, under the two platoon system, be a gain of just 329 men every night in the patrol service in Brooklyn and Queens by the return to the old style of patrol. This was not new to the Eagle, which, during the administration of Commissioner McAdoo, prepared a table showing that Brooklyn was losing by the three platoon system just 300 men's services every night. The table was based on the figures of the last day of the old two platoon system's operation and the current date of the three platoon system's work. This table was correct, as shown by Mr. O'Keeffe's figuring this morning, for the twenty-nine gain will be in the Queens district.

And it was clear that an increase at night of 300 men means a regiment added to the service. At the time the Eagle printed the schedule a reporter was sent to see Mr. MeAdoo and ask his opinion about it. But Mr. McAdoo was non -commital.

He said that election was too near and he didn't want to discuss the merits of the three platoon system. Then Mayor McClellan was re-elected and Mr. McAdoo was relieved of the duty to give place to General Bingham, the man" who has had the nerve to do away wits the three platoon system because he did not believe it was good for the people. Mr. McAdoo, in a book that was recently published, told a lot about police work, but even then positively declined to enter into the merits of the three platoon arrangement.

Commissioner Bingham issued an order yesterday afternoon re-establishing the two platoon system and with it he gave the reporters this statement of his reasons for doing away with the three platoons: "Because of the fallure of the Board of Aldermen to grant the increase of the force asked for, and the pressing necessity for more men; and owing to the numerous and recent calls for the various summer resorts, which strain the resources of the department, it has been deemed necessary, in order to accomplish the work demanded of the department, to return to the two platoon system. This system offers these advantages: (1). It increases the number of men on at night by 50 per cent. It increases the number of men on reserve at night from one-ninth to one-half during the first tour, and from one-ninth to one-fourth during the second tour. During the night one-half of the entire force is on patrol and the other half is on reserve from 6 P.M.

to 12 midnight. It enables the department to make the patro! posts straight. -eight hours reserve and thirty-two gives thirty-six six hours patrol, hours at home for each patrolman. Schedule of the "Cycles." The to the force, which is numbered order, explains fully the operation of the two-platoon system in parceling out the hours the men are expected to work. It is as follows: patrol force will be divided into two platoons, to be known as the first and second platoons, each to be divided into two sections, to be known as the first, second, third and fourth sections.

"The police day will commence at 6 o'clock A.M., at which hour the first section of the first platoon will go on patrol. "This table gives a summary of the duty details for the four days that make one cycle, the numbers being those of the sections: FIRST DAY. At Hours, Patrol. Reserve. Home.

6 A M. to A.M.. 8 A.M. to 1 P.M. to A 3-4 6 P.M.

to midnight. 1-2 Midnight to 6 A.M. da SECOND DAY. A.M. to 1 A.M.

to P.M de P.M. to P.M 19 P.M. to midnight. 6. Midnight to 6 A.M......

THIRD DAY. A.M. to 8 A.M. A.M. to P.M P.M.

to P.M P.M to midnight Midnight to 6 AM. FOURTIL A.M. to A.M 00 A.M. to 1 P.M. P.M to P.

P.M. Midnight to midnight A.M...... will at once divide their forces into two platoons and four sections as above provided, and, under direction of the inspectors of their districts, divide their precincts into straight day and night posts, and number the same, and from time to time designate patrolmen who are to patrol the same." "Captains and commanding officers of precincts shall grant each roundsman, patrolman and doorman of their respective commands a night off duty. "Roundsmen, once in each sixteen days; patrolmen, once in each twenty days; doormen, once in each thirty days, provided the exigencies of the service will permit. In cases of roundsmen.

the night off will be arranged so that one onlv shall be permitted the privilege at one time. "This order does not apply to Forty-second precinct, the traffic squad or special posts." There was much grumbling among the men to-day, and in the opinion of those who understand such things they are not to blame for feeling sore at General Bingham. But there will be no resignations from the force, nor is it likely that there will be a strike. for absence from duty means dismissal from the force. And then $1.400 a year for the work of a policeman is pretty good pay, and men with families are not throwin- that up in a hurry.

It is to a certain degree unskilled labor, and it is the best paid unskilled labor in the world. The higher officers, from sergeant up, have always been opposed to the three-platoon system, and SO have some of the veteran patrolmen. JUDGES WERE MERCIFUL. Light Sentences or Suspensions the Rule in Special Sessions at Jamaica. In the Court of Special Sessions, at Jamaica, yesterday, Carmelo Reviero, of Long Island City, charged with petit larceny, in having stolen a quantity of copper wire from the contractors of the Long Island City tunnel, pleaded guilty to the charge, and upon hearing the facts of the case, sentence was suspended.

Frank Kappell, charged with asasult, was found not guilty and discharged. He was charged by Special Officer Charles 0. Snyder with assaulting him and insulting his wife by the use of indecent language. Tony Paradise, of the Rockaway road, Jamaica, was found guilty of trafficking in liquors on Sunday and fined $10. He is the bartender of the saloon, and when asked for two glasses of lager beer by Detectives Woolley and McDonald, served them, but when the money was handed to him he refused to accept it and gave it back to the officers.

As he was not the proprietor, a a a a a a a a light fine WAS imposed upon him. John Frawley was charged with petit larceny, in stealing over a hundred pounds of lead from a building at Mott avenue and Sheridan street, Far Rockaway, from his employers, and selling it for $3.60 to Michael Murri, a junkman. He pleaded guilty to the offense, but at the request of his wife and his employers, Smith Brothers, mercy was shown him by the court, sentence being suspended. DRIVER HELD FOR TRIAL. He Is Charged With Stealing a Horse From His Employer-Denies His Guilt.

Patrick Cullivan, a driver employed by George Muller, of 240 Central avenue, Far Rockaway, was yesterday held under $500 bail for the Grand Jury by Magistrate Smith, in the Far Rockaway court, on a charge of having stolen a horse from his employer. According to the testimony, Cullivan was sent to Manhattan on June 5, and left with a team of horses. He reached the city and then stopped in the store kept by Benjamin Koronsky, of 612 East Ninth street, and sold one of the horses to him for $60. Then he disappeared, leaving the wagon and other horse standing in front of Koronsky's place, The police took charge of the outfit and 800n after located Cullivan and placed him under arrest. Cullivan pleaded not guilty to the charge, but was held for the Grand Jury.

NOT A DAM WITNESS IN COURT. Some Amusement Was Created by Surrogate Noble's Query at Jamaica. Women Resented Question. There was considerable amusement in the Queens County Surrogate's office yesterday when Surrogate Daniel Noble called from the calendar the will case of Jane A. Dam.

No one responded and the Surrogate repeated in a slightly raised voice, "The matter of the Dam will case." Still no answer, and in a few moments the clerks of the court were going through the court room Inquiring, "Are you a you a witness?" Many of the women witness the Dam will case?" "Are Damn in court were highly indignant when approached in this way, and it was not until it was publicly announced that those interested in the will case of Jane A. Dam were wanted in the court room that they were pacified. It was a by-word for the day to ask if parties coming into the courtroom were "Dam witnesses" or "witnesses in that Dam case." The will was admitted to probate without objection. The estate, which is a small one, is located in Long Island City. UNLUCKY FOR MOSQUITOES.

Ordinance No. 13 of Patchogue Health Board Is Designed to Kill Them Off. (Special to the Eagle.) Patchogue, L. June 20--The Patchogue Board of Health has just passed an ordinance by which it is believed the breeding of mosquitoes may be prevented. Under the new ordinance, which is designated as No.

13, no water is allowed to stand in any depression of the ground or in any pail, can, barrel or other receptacle in which mosquitoes may breed unless the water is kept screened against the entrance of mosquitoes or covered with a film of kerosene or other oil. Mosquitoes are practically an almost unknown quantity in this" vicinity, but rather than assist in making them well acquainted with the local residents, the board of health deemed prevention better than cure. MINUS SEVERAL FINGERS. Young Carpenter "Fooled" With a Dynamite Cartridge, Which Exploded in His Hand. (Special to the Eagle.) East Islip, L.

June 20-Otto Veinfort, a carpenter, employed on the yacht of a summer resident here, had his hand partially blown off yesterday while examining a peculiar looking missle, which resembled ferule of a cane, but which proved to be a dynamite cartridge, used. it is said, to kill fish. While at work on the deck of the vessel, Veinfort came upon the missle and put it in his pocket. Last night he thought he would make a examination, and, as he was cleaning it out, an explosion occurred, and Veinfort is minus several fingers in consequence. He was taken to the Mineola Hospital, where the fragments of the fingers were amputated.

It is thought he will recover. It is claimed that a large number of fish be killed by throwing one of these cartridges into the water when a school is feeding. SLEEP WALKER'S BAD FALL. Mary Moran, 10 years of age, of 530 Seventeenth street, while walking in her sleep fell down the steps in front of her home, receiving a skull fracture. She was attended by Dr.

Murphy, of 507 avenue, and Ambulance Surgeon Hutchins son of Seney Hospital. SECRET TREASURE ROOM THE STENTON HOUSE Daggers, Rifles, Sandbags and a Large Quantity of Silverware Found. KINNAN MYSTERY DEEPENS. Bronx Police Hope to Get Clew to the Murderer Through Their New Discoveries. Another story throwing light upon the peculiar character of Mrs.

Louise M. Stenton, the aged but vigorous and ironwilled mistress of Shadyside, the old colonial house at 2468 Washington avenue, the Bronx, with its secret chambers and closets and strange collection of valuables and weapons, where daughter, Mrs. Alice Kinnan, was murdered on June 8. came to light to-day. It showed that she could handle, upon occasion, any of the daggers, rifles or sand bags whose presence there are puzzling the police.

Upon the occasion described it was an axe she wielded. Patrolman Dubois, of the Tremont station, who was on duty night at the home of Mrs. A. E. Miller, in Briggs avenue, the friend with whom Mrs.

Stenton is now staying, under surveillance by the police, tells the story. Dubois says that about a year and a half ago, when he had the beat taking in the Stenton house, he was called there late at night by neighbors who said that Mrs. Stenton was killing some one. He hurried there and found the old woman on her piazza, brandishing an axe. He found that she was threatening a tenant of her house, who was terrorized by her, and had fled to the grounds.

Dubois sought out this tenant and found him shivering with fear. He said she had threatened his life, but Mrs. Stenton denied this and said the tenant had threatened her life. The tenant insisted that Mrs. Stenton threatened him with the axe, and said she did so because she wanted to eject him from her house.

There was an Italian, he said, whom Mrs. Stenton wanted as a tenant, because he would pay higher rent. The threatened tenant said Mrs. Stenton wanted. to put him out before his term.

for which he had paid, was up, and when he refused to go, she took the axe to him. The situation was so threatening, Dubois said, that he stayed the house that night to guard the tenant, who refused to go, but was afraid to be alone with the old woman. Mrs. Stenton was not arrested. A policeman kept at the house for three days afterward, Dubois said, to guard the until he was ready to move.

To spite the old woman he stayed there until Mrs. Stenton had to get a dispossess notice for him. Sergeant Price, acting captain of the Bronx Detective Bureau, said this morning that he probably wouldn't have any more theories to give out to-day, as he was sufficiently occupied over the strange developments of yesterday afternoon and last night. He was going to spend most of the day, he said, in cogitating over the possibilities raised in his mind over the contents of the old house, and the mysterious light it throws upon Mrs. Stenton and her past life.

Clerk Welch of the Bronx Coroners' office, made up a list of the contents of the silver chest found in the secret room in the Stenton house late yesterday. It is as follows: Four silver covers, with handles; one soup tureen, with cover and handle; four silver dishes, two silver trays, a silver cake dish, a silver teapot, with stand and lamp; three silver soup ladles, marked Mrs. Stenton's initials: six ailver napkin rings, four marked one S. and one plain; four silver mugs, one marked "Helen H.

Supreme Court Justice Marcan, this morning, decided that he would not admit John Smith, held for the Grand Jury yesterday by Magistrate Naumer, to bail, as District Attorney Clarke convinced him that Smith has also been known to the police "Eddie Malone," "Eddie Connors" and Charles Williams, and, though they are not sure what his real name is, the police are certain that he has spent half of his life in prisons. In addition to this, Mr.

Clarke says that the Grand Jury. has already taken up his case and will probably indict him for burglary in the first degree as a second offense and assault in the first degree. Should Smith be convicted with such indietments against him, he may be sent to Sing Sing for life. So, argues Mr. Clarke, such a sum as $2.000, the amount fixed by Magistrate Naumer as bail, would be little enough to escape such a fate.

Lawyer Witte appeared for Smith before Justice Marean this morning. He was ready to furnish bail for his client, he said, the amount having been placed at $2,000 by Magistrate Naumer, but, when he went to Mr. Clarke about it, the latter refused to entertain thoughts of bail, unless some judge of the Supreme Court passed upon it. Then he went 1m- mediately to special term see about it. Mr.

Clarke also went to the special term to oppose, and when Lawyer Witte informed Justice Marean what he wanted the District Attorney put in a word or two against it. "This a case," he said, "where your honor ought to refuse bail. This man Smith, we happen to know, has spent half of his life in jail. On March 27, 1877, under the name of Eddie Malone, he was sent to Sing Sing for two years for burglary. On January 29, 1897, he was sent to Sing Sing for three years under the same name.

On March 3, 1892, as Eddie Connors, the General Sessions in New York sent him to Sing Sing for ten years for robbery. We also know that as Charles Williams he was given a term of five years and a fine of $1,000 on June 22, 1899, in the United States District Court of Baltimore, for post office robbery. "This man was arrested recently in Brooklyn, and he is now charged before the Grand Jury with burglary in the first degree and assault, and it is our purpose to indict him for burglary as a second offense. For a conviction upon such an indictment he will go to prison for life. He is a bad man and I hold that your honor will hesitate to fix bail in his case for if he is liberated on bail he will escape." "That is not so," returned Mr.

Witte. "Such a thought never entered his head. think your honor will agree with me that the police sometimes are mistaken in their identifications. This man is assumed to be innocent until he is convicted and he is entitled to be admitted to bail. The magistrate fixed bail at $2,000 and we are ready to give it." Justice Marean first refused to fix any bail, but later adjourned the matter until to -morrow.

As the grand jury reports indictments Friday morning it is quite will be in the hands of Judge Aspinall on probable Indictment a against Smith that day The complaining witness against Smith is Charles Bossong, of 174 Seventh avenue. On the night of June 10, Bossong was awakened from sleep by a noise in his butcher shop below his apartments. He investigated and saw a man running away. He pursued and the man stopped and fired twice at him with a revolver. Toby Peterson, a special officer, joined in the chase and captured Smith, who was afterward identifled by Bossong.

An examination of the store showed that a hole had been drilled in the safe and it had been opened by a blast of powder. The sum of $85 had been stolen from the. safe. caught Smith had a revolver in his pocket. INEQUALITIES OF TAXATION.

Coler Seeks Information From Metz. Seems as Though Assesors Favored Some Property Owners. The subjoined communication' from Borough President Coler was sent to Controller Metz to-day. There is a strong suspicion in Mr. Coler's mind that the property referred to as being assessed at a low figure is held for a well known politician in Brooklyn, who has attained to greater prominence than any other Democratic district leader.

The matter was referred to Mr. Metz, because under an act passed by the last Legislature, the Controller was authorized to erect a bureau in the Finance Department for the investigation of all charges made against public departments. The letter to the Controller is as follows: petition having been received in this office for the Improvement of Harway avenue, a very important thoroughfare of Gravesend Bay and leading directly to Coney Island, I asked for a report from the Chief Engineer of the Bureau of Highways as to the 'estimated cost of the improvement and the assessed valuation of the property within the probable area assessment. in order that I might submit thie information with the petition to the local board and the Board of Estimate and tionment. I forward to you herewith a copy of the report prepared by the Chief Engineer.

in which it is Indicated that the estimated cost of the improvement is $7,600 and the assessed valuation of the land. $8.400. As the charter will not permit of the imposition of an ment in excess of one-half of the assessed valvation of the property, it appears that the improvement to which I refer cannot properly be authorized at this time by the local board and the Board of Estimate. "The report of the Chief Engineer as to the assessed valuation of the property somewhat surprised me, and I had the Highways Burenu furnish me with a map showing the various plots as they appear on the map of the Board 01 Assessors. with the assessed valuation of each plot and the name of the owner.

as given 011 said map, indicated. I send you this map and a statement of the assessed valuation of several plots in the section adjoining Harway avenue. I think a study of this map will indicate to you that the assessed valuations placed on these pieces of property are. to say the least, remarkable. A very considerable area, which appears to be owned by Edward Egolf.

et al. is assessed at a figure which seems amazingly low when compared with the ASsessed valuation of the properties of Stillwell. Voorhees, Mary E. Stillwell and others. You will note.

for Instance. a piece of property owned by Mary E. Stillwell on the westerly side of Harway avenue, adjoining Bay Fortyeighth street. and having an area of 64.558 square feet, is assessed at $17.000. while a piece of property owned by Edward Egolf, et al.

on the same side of Harway avenue. and adjoining Bay Forty-ninth street. having an $5,700. of area 273.520 square feet, is assessed at only On the easterly, side of the avenue the discrepancie: are equally remarkable. A piece of property with an area of 8,506.50 square feet.

owned by Mary E. Stillwell, pays taxes: on an assessment of $1.600.00. while a piece, of property having an area of 122.734 square feet of upland, owned by Edward Egolt, et al, pays taxes on an assessed valuation of $2.800.00. think the assessments to which I have referred are unjust to the city. and as they interfere with the improvement of Harway avenue, which I consider very destrable.

I would suggest that you have this matter taken up by your Bureau of CLARKE WILL TEST THE LAW. District Attorney Clarke announced this morning that a test case would be brought to ascertain just what a violation of the Sunday laws is in connection with baseball playing on that Magistrate Naumer yesterday discharged the baseball players who were arrested by Police Captain Baldwin on Sunday, but it; is the intention of Mr. Clarke to lay informations against them in the Court of Spocial Sessions. this way the legality of Sunday ball playing can be tested.
