A tion of statistical information, and the presidents of the different boroughs should have In their existing bureaus men who are familiar with this particular kind of work, and who appreciate the necessity for complete Information, and if the presidents of the various boroughs realize the importance of this work and will formulate plans for Inaugurating it and conducting It economically, we believe that it would be wise to request them to take 4t up at once. Appropriations aggregating were made this neon by the-Board of Estimate. The board voted 25.000 for the preparation of plains and speclfi -ations and cdher preliminary work for the erection of a Brooklyn central public library on the site selected on the East Side Lands, near Prospect Park. For the repair of the Queens County Court House 250,000 were appropriated.

The old building will be practically rebuilt. Definite steps were also taken by the board towards giving New York City its first Reception Hospital for the Insane, by appropriating 146,000 for the purchase of a site for a building on Exterior street between Seventy-third and Seventy-fourth streets, overlooking tha Eat Rivr. Eminent 'Insanity experts have long advocated the establishment of a hospital where only persons supposed to be Insane may be put under observation, and where therefore all contact with the proven insane and the name attached to purely temporary cases of having been In an insane asylum may be avoided. There will also be a great relief to Bellevue, which ht present receives all city cases of supposed mental aberration. Any one that thinks he Is getting crazy can walk into the new hospital and be examined, buf "drunks" will be frowned upon.

Homer Folks told the Board that the State had already appropriated for a building which will become property of the city. Plans are being drawn. Later he said legislation would be had permitting the reception of cases that presently go to Bellevue. On the report of the appraiser of real estate It was resolved to take title to property at South Third and Keap streets as a site for school building. To the Controller was referred resolutions of tne Board of Education to acquire as school sites property at Eastern Parkwdy and Herkimer street, Brooklyn, and at Orchard avenue and Fifth and Sixth streets, Elmhurst.

Queens. On resolution of the Aldermen an appropriation of 13,000 to meet the expenses of sorting and rearranging the various books, papers and records in the office of the Register of the County of Kings was approved also a resolution for an appropriation of 10,000 for binding into book form public records under the Jurisdiction of the Kings County Clerk. Justice Scott Grants Motion Jerome to Appoint Sanity Commission. GIRLS COUNSEL PROTESTS, States Case Against Her Has Col lapsed. The trial of Josephine lerranOva, charged with slaying her aunt and uncle( was suddenly adjourned this morning until Monday in order that a commission may inquire Into the sanity of the 17 yeap-old Italian girl.

District Attorney jJerome requested the suspension of the case and asked Judge Spott to appoint a cotumisslOfT. The District 'Attorney sald that he did not want tHe responsibility of keeping a girl on trial when her san Ity was strongly questioned by experts. John counsel for the Terra-nova girl, strongly opposed the suspension, stating: that such move should have been made at the time the trial started, and not when it wad about to close. He said the question of sanity was one that the Jury should determine. Justice Scott granted the motion and suspended the trial until He will appoint a commission immediately, and they will examine the girl either this afternoon or to-morrow.

The commission will report to Judge Scott Monday. The move to suspend the trial came at the opening of the trial this District Attorney Jerome asked Mr. Palmierl if he would consent to declaring the case a mistrial. PuJmlerl would not consent, and when the court opened Mr. Jerome moved that the trial be suspended and a commission be appointed.

"The State had notice that the defense would be Insanity," said Mr. Palmlert, and the State's alienists examined this g.rl on the afternoon of the first days trial. This motion of the District Attorney should have been made then, and not now, when the Jury la ready to weigh the evidenoe." The District Attorney replied that the 'aw did not contemplate the trial of an insane woman, but If Palmierl would say that the was not insane now he would go on with the case. Judge Scott granted the motion, taking thh position that the Jury might find that the girl ha.d 'ammltted some crime and that In the event of her being Insane at this time a. (great Injustice to her and the law would be done.

He said that an adjournment until Monody would hot be prejudicial to the defense. The States case against the girl collapsed completely yesterday whert Dr. Francis McGuire, the Tombs physician, admitted that the girl knew the nature of her act when she killed her sunt and uncle, but did not know the quaTItyof the act. Justice- Scott. late this afternoon, named the following commission; Dr.

William Mabon, an alienist, end for many years superintendent of Bellevue Hospital; Dr. Lewis Balch, alienist, formerly connected with the State Board of Health, and former health officer at Albany; Edward L. Parriss. a lawyer, with offices at 261 Broadway, Manhattan. EX-CONVICT HELD FOR STEALING DIAMOND.

Mr. Williamson swore that while he was on a Fifth avenue car Klein faced him with a. newspaper In froi.t of him, which he was pressing under his (Mr. Williamson?) chin.

Suddenly Klein made a dash to g'et out of the car, and then AVIlllamson missed hla pin. Kleins prison record was attached to the complaint, showing that he had several terms for various thefts of a similar character. BINGHAM SUSPENDS MORTON FOR ATTEMPTING SUICIDE.

The patient, a fcov, was sent to Kingston Avenue Hospital. The steamer was disinfected and released at noon. When the fleet of welcoming craft went down the bay to greet the homecoming athletes they found the Republic lying off Quarantine flying a yellow flag.

This put a damper on the spirits of the reception committees. The excursion fleet drew In close to the liner, however, and a hearty cheer went up as Sheridan, Robertson, Prln-siein, Frank and others of the victorious athlete appeared and waved a welcome to their -friends -from the promenade deck. The steamboat girlus headed the welcoming delegation with the Irish-Ameri-cun Athletic Club on board.

They reported that an inferior-block -had been.JUsed,An many instances, particularly in paving around manholes. Samples of the block are now in the Borough President's office.

The He was passed between Representative Cooper, of Wisconsin, and Representative Hepburn, of Iowa. Representative Cooper had voted against the previous question on the rule. He had asked Mr.

He was -In such a helpless condition It was found necessary to summon the patrol wagon to get him to the station house. At the Ralph avenue station It was decided to hold him over until to-morrow morning before sending him to court. Along with a half a dozen other men, Beresford was drinking In the Georgia Hotel, at 2595 Fulton street, about 10 o'clock. Some one in the crowd com plained that he had lost hla watch, whereupon one of the lotingera about the hotel started away on a.

run. James K. McCue, proprietor of the hotel, suggested that some one call a policeman Upon hearing of the commotion. Beresford. It la claimed, said it was not necessary to call a policeman.

He announced that he was a deputy sheriff and would arrest the man who had the watch. Beresford then started through Fulton street after the young man who had run out of the hotel. A policeman attached to the Ralph avenue station first noticed Beresford lying on the railroad tracks at Manhattan Crossing and Broadway. It was evi dent he had fallen. Inasmuch as his revolver, which had been in his hip pocket, was lying on the ground.

Eugene St. Clair, interpreter In the Seventh District Court, who had been in tha hotel with Beresford. then appeared, and after helping Beresford to bis feet, gave him the revolver and showed him the direction In which had gone. After running two blocks further beresford. who had hts Revolver In his hand, collided with an Italian woman.

She screamed for help and cried that a man was going to shoot Then she fainted. The woman's cries attracted the attention of three policemen attached to the Ralph avenue station who were In the neighborhood at the time. They came up on the run and after disarming Beresford arrested him. He pulled back bin coat and showed his shield, at the same time telling the police who he was, but he was taken to the Ralph avenue station on the complaint of the Italian woman. At the station Beresford announced to Sergeant Smullen that he was a deputy sheriff and defied the police to hold him.

It is also alleged that he threatened to break" some of the people Interested In his arrest. After looking at the man, Capt. OReilly decided he was not In fit condition to send to court and put him In a cell, where he will be detained until tomorrow morning unless some one balls him out According to St Clair, who was with Beresford at the time of hla arrest the officer was unnecessarily zealous In making the arrest St. Clair told the sergeant at the desk In the Ralph avenue station that Beresford was merely trying tc overtake the man who had stolen the watch. St Clair also denied that Beres ford was intoxicated.

He admitted he bad been drinking, but he denied be was drunk. Beresford said he was 45 years old and gave his address as 28 Furman avenue. He had very little money in hla pockets when searched. 'I MUTUAL LIFE OFFICES IN ENGLAND CLOSED. LONDON, May 25.

There ure rumors of graft In some of the contractor work.

This, It is said, does not apply to any of the borough officials. Borough President Coler has kept his Inspectors hot on the trail of the contractors, and recently ordered considerable stretches of asphalt and asphalt block be ripped up. This was particularly true of the work along Broadway, from Havemeyer street fto liafayette avenue. This work was laid last fall, and the pavement was of asphalt block. Borough President Coler made a personal investigation and stated that It was the worst piece of work he had ever seen.

He ordered the roadway repaved, and the work is being done over again by the contractors after a somewhat bitter fight. ANOTHER CASE Another flagrant case was that on IF HL HORS PHILADELPHIA, May 25. Further evidence of the manner In which employes of the Pennsylvania Railroad came Into the possession of stock In the many coal mining companies throughout Pennsylvania waa.agaln brought to the notice of the Interstate Commerce Commission this morning. P. H.

Large, assistant coal freight agent at Broad street station, was the first witness of the day. "Mr. Large, when was the Harslmus pier turned over to tne Berwlnd-rthlte Company?" was Mr. Glasgows first question. "I dont know, was the reply.

I have the agreement here which says that the pier was leased to the Berwind-Whlte Company on Jan. 7, 1897. "I dont think that is correct, said Mr. Large. "The company only leased the property.

Mr. Glasgow then read a bituminous coal tariff. Has any other company ever shipped coal from this pier? Not that I know of. "Where Is it located? "In Jersey City, directly opposite, the lower end of New York City." Why dont other companies come to Hnrstmus pier? "Because they must first get the permission of the Berwlnd-Whlte Company. "Has any one ever tried It? "I dont know.

"Who can tell the ampunt of demurrage collected at Harslmus pier? "Mr. Frink." "Did you have on file a tariff to Harslmus pier prior td May 13, 19C3? "No. "Why didnt you have? "There was a tariff on all points In New York Harbor, and tills Included Harslmus pier. "Any one who wanted to ship, coal to New York would have to go over the Amboy division or else get the consent of the Berw tnd-Whlte Company at Harslmus pier. Isnt that right?" "Yes, I suppose It is.

"Let us take the Milwood- Cbmpany. How far Is the mine from the main line? "About four miles. What allowance was made to them?" "Twenty cents on a ton." "How long has this been In "I dont know how long. "There Is the Glen White Company? The allowance Is sixteen cents on a gn What la the allowance to the Latrobe Coal and Coke Company?" "Dont know." "Then I will tell you. For twelve yenrs prior to 1902, 10 cents a ton was allowed to the Latrobe Company for hauling the cars a distance of a mile or so.

"Is It not a fact that complaint has been made because no allowance was made to many? "I dont know. Yes, you do; now think. "Well, yes; I think some complaints were made." "Any special allowance made for the opeintlng of Greenwich pier?" "No, there Is not. "None at all?" "Only the usual allowance made on the Amboy division." "When a train of loaded coal cars for Harslmus pier leaves the Berwlnu-Whlte mine where are they weighed? "They ere not weighed at all." "Why didnt you do It? "Didnt have facilities. "How were weights accounted?" "Hv means of the maximum capacity.

"Isnt It true that whole strings of enra Ikhed on the Amboy division? "in, I believe so, "nn you explain the reason for not veli-hlng the Herwlnd-Whlte cars, The crowded condition In the Altoona oid Jer-ey City yards made this Inijtos-ilile. Then the railroad determined the eight of the loaded enrs 10 per cent. Imve the marked weight." The aum of 10,000 was authorized by the Board of Estimate to-day to be turned over to Borough President Coler for the purpose of organizing the Bureau of Sub-surface Construction In his office. Consulting Engineer R. W.

Cruezbaur will be In direct charge of this -bureau. It wag shown by Controller Metz that this matter is considered of the utmost importance. In a letter addressed to Alayov McCletlan, as president -ef -the Board of Estimate, Mt. Metz stated: In the Borough of Brooklyn several spasmodic efforts have been made to begin Work of this kind, but little more than a beginning has been made. Several yeara ago a regulation was adopted requiring ail corporations applying for permits to submit a detailed plan drawn to given scale on sheets of uniform size, showing as accurately as possible the dimensions and location of the structures which they expected to Install before the granting of a permit In recent years, however, permits have been granted upon the promise of the companies to file such a plan within a specified time, but as might have been expect-d.

few of the plans have been furnished after the permit was issued. In the Borough of the Bronx no attempt has yet been made to prepare any record of the underground construction, and the same Is also true of the Borough of Queens. In the Borough of Richmond the matter las received considerable attention and a beginning has been made, and plans have been formulated for the compilation of complete Information concerning their structures. In Manhattan, Brooklyn and a portion of the Bronx, the streets are already well filled with pipes, conduits, and the preparation of plans for additional structures Is exceedingly difficult, If not Impossible, without elaborate borings, and even then changes In these plans must be frequently made to avoid unexpected obstacles. The preparation of a plan of underground structures under such conditions Is exceedingly difficult and will Involve considerable expense, and It Is unfortunate that It was not begun years ago.

If a few engineer Inspectors (were assigned to this work, whose duty it should be to examine every opening made, locating the position- and size of every underground structure encountered. and If the corporations owning these structures were required to furnish such information as they possess, excellent progress could be made In this work. "In the Judgment of your Commission there Is an excellent opportunity for cooperation between the centralized departments having supervision over the pipes and conduits in the streets in the collec PERKINS WINS reversing the decision of Justice eenbaum, of the Supreme Court, the peltate Division to-day decided that npalgfi contributions which were de to political parties by George TV. rklna. of the New York Life Company, were not criminal.

The anarchists made their escape in cabs. ST. PETERSBURG, May 25. The statement was made to-day, on what can be considered good authority, that the labor group in the Douma, composed of peasants andworkingmen, intends to demand the dismissal of the present Gov-efitent if the answer to the address of the Douma is not satisfactory. A number of members of the State Ccuncil attended the session of the Douma to-day, as it was stated that Premier Goremykin would give the Government's reply to the address of the Douma.

One Deputy has resigned his seat In the Douma. as he is disappointed over the prospects of the Douma being able to accomplish any good. Some degree of moderation Is becoming noticeable in the attitude assumed by the socialistic parties toward the Douina. The situation, however, is full of anxietyr Telegrams were received to-day by a group of sixty-six deputies announcing that the Governor-General of the Baltic proinces has confirmed the sentence of death passed unon several revolutionaries in that region.
