Mr. Daly referred to noises of another nature In the Ger-mania Club, which has its headquarters also in Union street.

One line at the bottom of the communication seemed to amuse the Judge very much and that was where the rlter declared that he was no Kimcr. Magistrate Naumer Informed Officers Gleesen and Bannon that he could dp nothing In the matter. Ha said that the complainant must seek redress In a civil court. He also expressed surprise that Mr.

Daly should absent himself from court, as he was the Interested party In the case. THEY MADE "EASY MONEY." Knocked Grocer Senseless and Bobbed Him Now Two Young Men Are in Jail.

The coroner has Degun to investigate the cause of the death of Andrew Peterson, found tho night of November 19, on Pier 33, at the foot of Hamilton avenue, suffering Immersion in the harbor, and in an exhausted condition. The dock watchman stumbwd on the prostrate man. and summoned an ambulance which took him to the Long Island College Hospital. There Dr.

Tafel found thnt both the man's lungs were congested, aul two days la'er he died from pneumonia. The post mortem examination revealed the further fact that the skull hnd been recently fractured, and before he died he told this story at the hospital: Ho said that he was a ship's carpenter nnd belonged to the steamship Bulka, then in the harbor: that he had had a quarrel of long standing with a certain man, and that they had agreed to go over to Governor's Island and there settle the matter by an old-fashion fist fight.

INNOVATION BY JESUITS Hold Noonday Services at Our Lady of Mercy Church. Father Krim Spoke on "Religious Indifference" To-day "Christian, Marriage" Topic To-morrow. The innovation of noonday sermons by the Jesuit Fathers at the Church of Our Lady of Mercy, on Sohermerhorn street, near Bond, has proved highly successful, and a largo attendance from the ranks of the shoppers and the workers In the downtown section has been present every day. The sermons begin at 12:23 and end at 12:50. The Rev.

George Krim, S.J., who spoke to-day, took for his topic "Rei liglous Indifference," and in vigorous stylo held up to scorn the saying of many people that one religion Is as good as another. He quoted the statement recently made by Dr. Edward Everett Hale, the chaplain of the Senate, that none of the religious organizations of the present day would be In existence by the year 2,000. That reflected the religious Indifference of many people at the present time. He said that these people frequently stated that one religion was as good as another, and that a man's religious belief did not matter so long as be lived a moral life.

He said that the Catholic Church did not go to the extreme of teaching that everyone outside its fold would not be saved, but It taught that if a man lived a good life In every way and earnestly tried to gain the true light of religion, but did his best according to his earnest convictions, and was baptized, he might bo saved. However, that did not mean that persons who professed a general Indifference about the doctrines of religion could be true Christians and save their souls. If all religions are equally good, and all roads lead to Heaven, said he. why do not all roads lead to the Fulton Ferry, to take a crudo example. Ho said that different religions had different formulas and doctrines, frequently exactly contrary to one another.

It is absurd, then, to say that one religion is as good as another, if one teaches the true and the other the false If that were the case then falsehood is just as good as truth and virtue is as good as vice. If we should apply this doctrine to business and say one way of doing business is Just as good as another we should soon come to grief. The sermon to-morrow will be on the subject of "Christian Marriage," and will bo delivered by the Rev. John F. Donovan.

SJ. The mission will close with a most impressive ceremony, when several hundred men will renew their baptismal vows. This service will begin at 7:30 ounuay evening. IDENTIFIES "JOHN BRADY." Mrs. John Condon of Whitestone, L.

Visits Husband, Alleged "Gas Iuspector" Burglar. "John, John, why did you do it?" cried Mrs. John Condon of Whitestone. L. as she leaned heavily against the bars of a cell at Police Headquarters in Manhattan this afternoon and Identified "John Brady," the alleged "gas Inspector" burglar who was arrested on the charge of burglary and who.

according to the police, confessed that he had turned off many successful Jobs In Harlem and the upper West Side in the last, two month3. Shortly before 1 o'clock this afternoon, Mrs. John Condon of Whitestone. L. appeared at Police Headquarters and told Inspector McCafferty that she helievuri the man to be her husband.

She had seen his picture, she said, in tho papers. The Inspector took the woman, who is very frail and who carries a 6-months-old hahv in hep Anna, linunatnir. n-hnm ihn man was confined In a cell. As she peered inrougn tne Dars aue crieo. out: "Oh, John.

Turkish Bugs for Station Houses, and Thousands of Bottles of Bug Exterminator in Storage. The system of Inspection used by the Finance Department in passing upon the supplies purchased by the city as well as work done by the city, received a severe Jolt when the Investigation of city finances was resumed this morning at the City Hall by the Cassidy Legislative Committee.

Police' Commissioner Bingham did the Jolting, and If what he says Is true Mr. Metz's engineers and Inspectors are moro of a hindrance than a help in protecting the city purse. They never seem to bo right in anything they undertake, according to Commissioner Bingham, and as for mathematical calculations, he says, they are as far from right as the earth Is from the moon. Incidentally, General Bingham gave a few illustrations of the extravagance which he found prevailing In the Police Department when he took charge. The commissioner discovered all this extravagance In a storehouse In Manhattan, which is under the control of the department, and It was of such a character that he could not help swearing by the nine gods of war.

"The first thing I found when I visited the storehouse for the first time," he told the "was a pile of rugs about four feet high. I examined them and found them to be of the fineBt Turkish quality. I made inquiries and found that they had been purchased to decorate the floors and bedrooms of the captains In the different station houses. There were enough rugs there to laBt several years. "Then talk about bug powder, roach killer.rat exterminator why it was there in bottles, packages end boxes.

There must have been alone about 2.000 bottles of stuff to kill roaches. I found enough stuff to kill nearly all tho vermin In New York." General Bingham suggested that some radical change should be made in the form of contract for these sort of eup-Dlies. He said that a contract should be made for nn estimated quantity which should be drawn on from tlmo to timo as It Is needed. That would save the city he said, the expense of maintaining a warehouse. Then the commissioner started in to hammer the obsolete methods of inspection which prevail in the finance department.

He said that he found in a stationery contract that a certain employe In the finance department had gone out of his way to favor a certain contractor of supplies. "I had all the facts. In fact, I "had the goods on and the statement I prepared on the subject I turned over to the Bureau of Municipal Research. I Intended to prepare charges against him to his superior." "Why didn't you do It?" asked Senator Cassidy. "I did speak to Controller Metz," was the reply, "but he cut me short by saying that this employe was an honest man." General Bingham then told of a new station house which has Just been Jt wag approved by the controller's engineers as having been erected in compliance with nil tho specifications In the contract.

"Yet two months after," said the commissioner, "the doors to prison colls began to buckle; the locks could not be closed, and the electric system was out of gear. We found that secondhand wire had been used. The plumbing system got out of order. Yet the contractor had received all his money on the representation of the engineers of the Finance Department that the building had been properly constructed." As to the calculations of Mr. Metz's engineers in figuring out what a new building would cost, General Bingham gave an Interesting illustration.

It related to a new station house in Washington street, Manhattan. The engineers. General Bingham said, declared the plans were too extravagant and that the building would cost $337,000 to construct. When the contrct was advertised the lowest bid received was $183,000. O'BRIEN ATTACKS R.

With doubled admission prices and reserved seats and boxes selling at exorbitant figures, the management bids fair to clear a sum on the event well up In the five figures, if the profits do not reach Realizing this, the regulars who had counted upon staying until tho finish tomorrow night, thought the action of the promoters In driving them out was uncalled for, and many an argument was given the special policemen who did the work. But the sixty Plnkertons. under Captain Duhaln of race track fame, were obdurate; they had their orders to clear the house and they cleared It. The reporters Anally were ro-ndmltted after ten minutes of parley, as were some who had bought tickets stamped after 2 A.M., but the vast majority of the stayers had to go. At 10 A.M.

Under the Inspiration of a largo afternoon crowd it Is expected more will be regained and perhaps by midnight. Miller and Waller's figures again wjll be left behind. There is no doubt that the clearing of the bouse had much to do with the slow time.

Riders in past years have said that tho early morning hours were the hardest to face; lacking the vim given by the cheerfiug and general howling ot 4.000 or moro spectators, the grind becomes a grind indeed, The reformed Palmer-Drobach team, tall-enders of the lot, dropped behind steadily until at 1 P.M. they were eight milos behind the three teams tied for first place. Root and Walthour were second, a lap behind, and Collins and Mitten a lap behind them. Shortly after 11 o'clock. McFarland took a nasty spill at the Madison avenue turn.

He was high up on the embankment when the tire on his rear wheel burst and he went tumbling down. Luckily no one was behind him. He wasstunned for a few minutes and picked up by trainers, who found him suffering from only slight contusions about the right shoulder.

Mayor McClellan, at the direction of the Board of Estimate, this morning sent warm reply to the communication which he received from Homer Folks of the City Club requesting an examination of the plans of the Manhattan Bridge before the work of putting the steel superatruc-ture In place is undertaken by the Bridge Department. The mayor also resented the implied criticism upon Commissioner Stevenson and the Bridge Department which were alluded to by Mr.

Folk in speaking of the Queensboro Bridge. Commissioner Stevenson will make the name of the expert public this afternoon. He Is said to be a prominent engineer of Chicago. The mayor says In his "In relation to your request that an examlnaton be made ot the plans of the Manhattan Bridge, tbe Commissioner of Bridges informs the Board of Estimate and Apportionment that In order to allay any unrest he intends to retain an Independent expert engineer to examine into tbe design and the method of constructio nof the bridge." In your letter to the board you state that: 'On January 6, 190S, your body au-thorzed the employment of Boiler and Hodge and William H. Barr to make an Investigation of the Queensboro "This is not correct.

The experts were retained in June, 1908, by the bridge department, Messrs. Boiler and Hodge being solected on the recommendation of the controller. These engineers have made their reports, which are now the hands of the members of the Board of Estimate and Apportionment and in your handB. It Is pertinent to add that at the time the commissioner of bridges appointed Messrs. Boiler and Hodge and Professor William H.

Burr, he already had under way an Investigation of the design of the Queensboro Bridge by engineers of his own department, "The chairman of this board Is Informed by the Department of Bridges that thiB investigation would have been complete In practically the same time as was that of the experts. "Referring to the Manhattan Bridge, before any contracts for construction of any part of the bridge were let, full and exhaustive determinations of the stresses which would occur in every individual member were made. Further, every de tall In the bridge had been fully designed before the letting of any contract; that there never has existed any uncertainty as to what the dead load or tha total load to be supported by the bridge, and the resulting stresses, would be. The contractors have not been called upon, as was the case with the Queensboro Bridge, to design any portion of the work In order to meet any speclilo requirements as to lorls and stresses. Such designs were made and checked by expert bridge engineers in the employ of the city before a pound of steel for the bridge bad been made.

When the report relative to the Manhattan Bridge Is completed, It will be made public. The announcement was made by the Bridge Department that the work of erecting the steel superstructure will not be delayed pending the report of the expert. Beginning next week the task of compressing the cables in cylindrical shape will be undertaken, and as soon as this is completed the bands from which the steel suspenders will hang are to be put in place. Then the actual work of construrtlng the superstructure will start. It Is said that the Bteol span over the river will probably ba finished by midsummer, WASHINGTON SACKMANN DEAD.

The brain acta through the nerves.

When the nerves are Irritated by coffea drinking tbe mind often imagines things which have no real existence such as approaching danger, unfriendly criticism, etc. A Mich, woman suffered in this way but found how to overcome it. She writes: "For twenty years, I drank coffee thinking It would give mo strength when tired and nervous. "The more coffee I drank, moro tired and nervous I. became until I broke down entirely.

Then I changed my, work from aewing to housework. This gave me more oxcrclse and was beneficial, but I kept on drinking coffee thought I could not do without It. "I was so nervous at times that If left alone I would not go from one room to another, for fear someone would grab me, and my little children had to go around on tiptoe and speak in whispers. "Finally an attack of the grip weakened me so my nerves rebelled and the smell even of coffee wsb nauseating. Then my husband prepared some Fostum for me, believing the long use of coffee had caused my break-down, so that my head and bands shook like the palsy.

"At flm I did not like Postum but I kept on drinking It and as we learned how make It right according to direc-. tlons on I liked It as well as coffee. "Occasionally I make coffee when we have guests and give It to the children, too, but as soon aH they taste It they return their cups for Postum. Now I go anywhere In tho house day or night and never think of anyone grabbing me and the children can romp as healthy children should my nerves are all right." "There's a Reason."
