Washington, December 13 Speaking to his resolution offered in Senate last Friday, authorizing the President of the United States to take all necessary steps to apprehend President Zelaya of Nicaragua, and bring him to trial on a charge Considerable mystery surrounds the sudden, and so far as can be learned, the uncalled for disappearance of Policeman James Patterson, attached to the command of Captain Stephen O'Brien of the Lee avenue station. The latter Is completely puzzled. Patterson, when last seen Saturday morning, wore his uniform. He has not put In on appearance at his home So deeply Interested is the Public Service Commission in the comprehensive scheme, published in the Eagle, for the transit relief of this borough, that it would welcome a formal proposal from the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company, setting forth on precisely what terms the traction company would be willing to establish Its proposed North River-Coney Island route. This was one of the of the murder of Groce and Cannon, the Deputy Commissioner Cozier of the Department of Water Supply, Gas and Electricity heartily indorses the proposition of the Prospect Park South Association for additional water mains, probably salt water mains, for Flatbush.

"While the commission is not prepared to commit Itself to eny particular plan until it sees the result of the contemplated auction of the independent subway system laid out by It, we would nevertheless be pleased to receive a formal proposal from the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company In respect to the extension of its Brighton Beach division," said an officer of the commission this morning. "As has already been pointed out, a jew subway, running from Malbone street and Flatbush avenue under the avenue to a point of intersection with the Fourth avenue subway, would be essontial to the execution ot the plan. While 1 understand that the traction company Is willing to make the necessary improvements as far as Malbone street, I believe that it wants the city to build that short stretch of subway. "Now, the time will undoubtedly come when a subway under Flatbush avenue It shows upon its face the restraint in Eleventh avenue, College Point, L. I.

Patterson, who is known to bia police associates as "Arizona Joe," having been formerly employed on a ranch owned by his father, had an encounter with an epileptic on Saturday morning at Flushing and Harrison avenues. The epileptic was Charles Kaiser of Marcy avenue and Wallabout street. When Kaiser was seized with the fit a number of men stood by without doing anything until Patterson reached the scene. The officer did not wait to turn In a call for an ambulance, but proceeded to give the suffering man first aid to tho Injured. During a struggle with the man Patterson was bitten on the right hand.

He continued working over Kaiser, how ever, and was bitten a second time on the left hand. When Kaiser came to he was able to go home, while Patterson went to the station house and reported the occurrence. The lieutenant in charge considered the policeman's injuries of sufficient severity to make It advisable for Patterson to go to the Williamsburg Hospital, where Dr. Laub cauterized the wounds on both hands. After reporting at the station under which he was laboring in dealing with such a character.

"In the school of corruption, dishonor, Just as soon as this department receives word from such a mass meeting or from some body of citizens organized for. this purpose we will send men out to make surveys and estimates of the cost of the work. Then the whole matter can be laid before the Board of Estimate for action. That is one of the first things which should come before the next administration. Salt Water Mains Would Solve Diffl- culty.

"A system of salt water mains would solve the difficulty and pay for Itself inside of five or six years.

Mrs. Catharine Anderson, proprietor of the rooming house at 466 West Twenty-second street, where Mrs.

Snead Is stopping, declared that her tenant was prostrated with grief over the folding of her sister. Mrs. Snead slipped a note under the door, in answer to an Eagle representative's questions, which read that she was thanktul for the consideration accorded her by the Eagle, in printing her explanations In yesterday's issue. A possible reason for Fletcher Snead's remaining in hiding, if he la alive, may be deduced from the fact that he is wanted as a witness against W. R.

Earthaman, of Tennessee, now under indictment. At one time Mr. Earthaman was rated as the richest man in that state, and was a leading banker, with offices in Murfrcesboro. Among other business ventures, he was Interested in lumber. As a director of Soule College he met Miss Virginia Wardlaw when she of Zelaya before the eyes of the civilized world.

Senator Rayner asserted that Zelaya's only anxiety would be lest he lose "the money he had that he would ileach division, provided it were to be constructed by the city.

The Senator declared that if Zelaya could not obtain a fair trial in Nicaragua in the fcrred from the Newark conference. sist on the abandonment of the two ex tensions to the Fourth avenue subway alarmed that blood poisoning might ensue, maae out an application for sick leave.

There waB some trouble about the application, during which Patterson suddenly left the station house, and has since failed to put in an appearance. A messenger has been to his home several times and hie relatives are considerably alarmed. There is an Idea that he may have gone to some hospital for treatment, but Captain O'Brien maintains that as he was In uniform the police authorities would be notified iihould he go to a hospital. There was still no word from the missing man up to a late hour to-day. On September 23, Geismar of the Adams street police court, administered a severe rebuke to Policeman Patterson for an alleged lie in an explanation he made before the court.

On October 18, the policeman disappeared mysteriously without getting permission. The disappearance followed clnselv an arrest which, according to the was principal of that school. In his business dealings he was persuaded by Miss Wardlaw and the missing Mrs. Martin, to take Fletcher Snead in business with him. Young Snead was placed in charge of the lumber company offices at Lynn-vllle, Tennessee, and shortly afterward, the firm of "Snead Co." was Incorporated.

The Earthaman and Snead Companies were rated as high as $1,500,000. In the panic of 1907 the Earthaman concern went to the wall simultaneously with the crash of Snead Co. Earth-man is under indictment, and his case will soon go before the jury. Fletcher Snead is wanted by the authorities to explain certain transactions which appear on the books of Snead Co. system, as planned by the city, as a condition of Its operation of that system.

THE COURTS. tion could be rendered absolutely isafe.by such a system, with a pumping station af Bergen Beach for instance. It would not be practicable to extend the service from the Coney Island high pressure station to Flatbush, because of the distance. It would not be necessary to use more than a pressure of 150 pounds, and the mains need not be as large as in the downtown section where the system is installed. It would not cost nearly so much, per mile to safeguard thie territqry.

It could all be done for $1,500,000, and the people should demand this protection. The downtown system has already saved to the property owners almost its entire cost of installation. It cost about; a million, and the insurance underwriters lopped oft 300,000 in insurance premiums a year, so that in three years it is paid for. The reduction in rates In Flatbush would not be so but a few more years would effect the saving. "We also need fire houses, but Commissioner Wise can tell you more about that."

While Deputy Fire Commissioner Wise says that the water pressure supplied by the Flatbush Water Company Is good, others say that it is inadequate. Lack of Engine Houses a Menace. Deputy Fire Commissioner Charles C. Wise said that he had heard no complaints of lack of pressure to compare with the complaints about lack of engine bouses.

"We have been doing all we could to get houses for Flatbush. and the rest of Brooklyn as well," he said, "and we have succeeded pretty well during the past year. But We need more fire houses. We would have had an engine house and hook and ladder right dor.n in the middle of Flatbush by this time, if the neighbors hadn't kicked. We recommended the purchase of a site In the neighborhood of Avenue and East Seventeenth street in 1905.

During the summer of 1906 we were on the point of buying a site, and we had the Department of Finance working with us. But then the neighbors got alarmed. The Flatbush Taxpayers Association sent in a protest, and although the site was indorsed by Chief Lally, myself and other officials, the matter was held up. This location was the first on the entire list 'of places that I sent In for proposed fire houses, and I did not specify any particular piece ot ground, only the locality. Several plots were under consideration by the real estate bureau of the Department of Finance.

I have sent over other recommendations since showing the need for a fire house in this locality, but I have not been able to get it through.

We cannot afford to pay that much for a place to erect a house. The site recently proposed on Church avenue is too far away.

We already have a house at Church and Rogers avenues, in a direct line, and We cannot put them so near together. We ere going to keep demanding a site on Avenue near the Brighton Beach line, or somewhere in the immediate vicinity until we get it.
