Declares Helpmate Hid Shoes, Poured Milk Over Him and Forced Him to Sleep 011 Chairs. With one shoe off and one shoe on, Joseph Cohen of 1336 Forty -first street, Borough Park appeared before Magistrate Nash in the Flatbush court this morning to tell the sad, sad story concerning his wife. As he related the unhappy family affairs and recalled the many unhapy days through which he has sufSered, Joseph's eyes filled with tears, and Le nearly, very nearly, broke down completely. The Cohens live at 1336 Forty-first street, Borough Park. Cohen pere came before Magistrate Nash to get advice as to the best means of commanding the rightful treatment due a husband and a father.

Both the Cohens were in court several days ago. Cohen is a large, mannish, superior woman. Joseph to-day wanted a summons for his wife, but the court advised him to go home and assert hise rights as a last resource. "I want something done to my wife," began Colen. "She was once so to me when I made good money.

Judge, I made $12 a week before I lost my hand. She loved me then. ha Now she says I am only a hand half." "Go home and assert yourself," said the magistrate. The smile of reminiscence spread over Cohen's face. "I tried that once, your honor, but she got the best of me--she always does.

I tell my wife she must love me and treat me better. What did she do?" He stopped and gazed sadly about the courtroom. "She locked me in a room for three days and only fed me when she felt like it. My lot is a hard one, indeed. But that's not the worst.

hid my shoes under the pillow. You see me as I stand before you, Judge?" The judge acknowledged it and bowed his head gravely. "Judge, I have even now only one shoe on?" Sure enough, his other foot was shod in a rubber, plainly and unmistakably. Joseph then said: "My wife says I don't bathe often enough, Judge. How can She hides my underwear from me; idneed.

she does. The climax came this morning when she poured a bottle of milk me. "But that is not all, Judge. My wife has four beds in the house. She and the children sleep in every one.

I have to sleep on the chairs or on the floor. What am I to do?" Barended his narrative with a prolonged echoed through the courtroom. "Go home and tel Rebecca that you are the boss from now on," said Magistrate Nash. "Suppose she hits me. Judge." said the man.

"Can I hit her back? But I'll go home and try it. anyway." THIRTY-FIVE YEARS MARRIED. Quite an increase in the transient population of the Bay Ridge section took place when many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas S.

Mousley assembled at their residence, Ninety-seventh street and Shore road, to take part in the celebration of the thirty-fifth anniversary of their wedding.

Full justice was done to a bounteful spread and the host and hostess were toasted with "many happy returns." It was practically a family gathering, nearly all present being old friends of the celebrants, and even their daughter, Miss Marion Stanley, on the road, as leading lady with McIntyre and cHath's "In Hayti" company, was represented by a striking portrait, sent with her congratulations from far -off Seattle.

NO TRACE FOUND BY WARSHIPS Fact That No Wreckage Has Been Found Leads to Hope That Naval Tug Escaped Disaster. Washington, February 14-All the resources of navy and the revenue cutters are still unsuccessful their pro search for the tug Nina. The revenue cutter Gresham reported from Boston, early to-day, that she had spoken the tug Savage which left Chesapeake Bay in company with Nina last Sunday. The skipper of the Savage told the commander of the Gresham the seas were running so high that he decided to turn back. But the Nina headed on out to sea with the waves breaking high over her bow.

This afternoon it was learned that the Nina was spoken at noon February 6, 9 miles northeast of Hog Island, on Virginia coast, in a heavy sea, by the Merchants and Miners steamer Howard. Ships of the navy and revenue service all up and down the Atlantic Coast are watching and speaking every they can reach by wireless, for news of the tug, which seems to be lost with all hands. No Wreckage of the Nina. Although the chances are slim that the Nina has weathered the storm and is now somewhere afloat out of the ourse of merchant ships and the zone being patrolled by searching naval vessels there is still some 1 hope found in the fact that no wreckage from her has as yet been discovered. It is known that she carried at least two, and possibly three, whaleboats and it seems altogether unlikely that she could have gone to the 1 bottom without leaving afloat some wreckage in the shape of boats, cars or other paraphernalia from about her deck.

The naval officers stated to-day that while the hope that the Nina has escaped disaster was small, the search would be continued for some time, and for at least a month to come there would be a possible chance of the Nina's crew having been picked up by some passing vessel possibly bound for a foreign port. Orders have gone forth to all the vessels of the navy and revenue cutter service to continue their search to-day with renewed vigilance. The revenue cutter Gresham will strike out to the northeastward and eastwurd of Cape Cod Mass. The gunboat Castine is in the vicinity of Vineyard Sound. Yesterday she cruised through the southeastern parts of Nantucket Sound, but found no trace of the missing tug.

During last night she anchored off Edgartown, and early this morning wag out again on the hunt. The battleship Louisiana, which went out from the Virginia Capes, ploughed the seas for miles northward of the Chesapeake Bay entrance yesterday. The zone covered by her from the high wicker masts was twenty miles by day and five miles by night. But no trace whatever of the little navy tug was seen in the diligent cruise. Not even a bit of wreckage was seen during the Louisiana's voyage, and this fact gives some hope to the anxious relatives and naval officers.

The torpedo boat destroyer Lamson. which left Philadelphia Saturday evening, steamed out of the Delaware Bay and headed northeastward. Over the course used by small vessels the Lamson cruised until she sighted Shinnecock Light.on the Long Island coast, near the eastern end of the island. Her course was then directed toward Newport, R. passing Block Island.

Bad weather was met by the Lamson. The fast scout cruiser Salem dispatched from Norfolk is sweeping the seas in every direction along the much traveled highway and questioning all vessals she meets whether anything has been seen by them of the Mina. Three Ships From Brooklyn Yard Aiding in the Search. Nothing had been heard up to an early hour this afternoon at the Brooklyn Navy Yard of the Nina. Arrangements have been made for quick transmission to the yard from all points of any news of the craft.

The collier Culgoa, which was to have carried two targets to the fleet at Guantanamo, Cuba, was dispatched Saturday afternoon from the yard, and shortly afterward the tugs Pontiac and Apache left to aid in the search for the missing craft. These three are scouring the coast from Cape Map to Nantucket. Relatives and friends of Antonie Manghir, ship's cook, and Toshiyas Tsuchiya, a Jap, and wardman's steward, both of Brooklyn. have made anxious inquiries at the Navy Yard. Louis Cline.

Someone Kills Miss Lowell's Livestock at Long Island Country Home--No Clew. (Special to the Eagle.) East Northport, L.

February 14-- Miss Helen Lowell, who takes the part of Lizzie in "The Lottery Man," now running at the Bijou Theater, Manhattan, is associated with Mrs. Armstrong in the ownership of a farm here, where she spends her summers and Sundays during the remainder of the year. One morning last week on going to the barn on the place, the lock on the door was found and one of the horses was dead stall. The animal had broken, evidently been struck with a blunt instrument on the head. A few months ago, a dog and some pigs died from what was believed to be poisoning.

The two women know of no enemy who would commit the act. Considerable excitement has been caused over the affair. TO REACH KHARTOUM MARCH 6. Sirdar's Launch Will Convey Roose- velt Party Down the White Nile. Gondokoro, Soudan, On the Upper Nile, February 14-Colonel Roosevelt and the others of the Smithsonian African Scientific Expedition, are expected here on Wednesday.

The launch of General Sir Reginald Wingate, Sirdar of the Egyptian Army, is in waiting to convey the party to Khartoum. The trip down Bar-el-Jabel and the White Nile will be begun Thursday or Friday, and Khartoum should be reached about March 6. Three days later the age down the River Nile to Cairo will bevoy- gin. The last news from the American party was received from Nimulo, Uganda Protectorato. 011 February 7, when the ten days march to Gondokoro was commenced.

The march, which was to be over about 108 miles of rough territory. was expected to be as hard, if not more trying than any other portion of the expedition's route, RACE TO SCENE OF WRECK TO SAVE 88 LIVES Cruiser and Five Steamers Go to Rescue of the Lima, Which Is Pounding to Pieces. 205 TAKEN OFF THE WRECK. Small Boats Were Upset and Further Attempts at Rescue Had to Be Abandoned. Ancud, Chile, February 14-The Chilean cruiser Ministro Zenteno and five steamers of the Pacific Navigation Company are racing south to-day in the desperate hope they may save eightyeight persons when last reported, that, were clinging to the stern of the British steamer Lima, as the vessel was pounding herself to pieces on a reef in the Huamblin passage in the Strait of Magellan.

Two hundred and five persons were taken from the wreck by the British steamer under difficulties which finally compelled the Hatumet to abandon the work of rescue. Four of the Hatumet's crew sacrificed their lives before their captain commanded his crew to cease their efforts. The Hatumet has arrived here and today her captain told the story of the wreck and rescue. He said: "When we sighted the wreck we put out our small boats, which closely approached the stern of the Lima, where passengers and crew had gathered. We made a connection between the two vessels with five hundred fathoms of cable and were successful in lowering 205 persons into our small boats and in getting them the Hatumet.

Heavy seas were rolling, which made the work of rescue perilous finally, the Lima's end of the cable slipped from her stern and became entangled in the rocks. Without the aid of the cable we could not reach the wreck and but for this accident all would have been rescued. "In the increasing seas our boats made futile efforts to reach the wreck. The Lima threw out another line, which our chief mate made a daring attempt to pick up. The second connection was eventually made, but the line, suddenly tightening, upset one of our small boats and our chief mate, the ship's carpenter, the fourth engineer and a Spanish steward were drowned.

My boat rescued the others of the small boat's crew. "I signaled to the captain of the Lima that we had but one small boat left and that as this was badly strained we had better proceed to Ancud for further AS sistance. Unfortunately we were delayed off Ancud by a dense fog. The Lima has a strong list to starboard and her port quarter is under water. She has seventeen feet of water in her engine room.

When we last saw her she lay in a dangerous position and was striking hard. "She struck during a heavy fog and in a stormy season, and will be a total loss." The Hatumet belongs to the Pacific Navigation Company and plies between Liverpool and South American ports. She was last reported as sailing from Bahia Blanca, Argentina, on January 26, on her way to Chilean and Peruvian ports. She registers 3,115 tons and was built in Glasgow three years ago. FIND OF BONANZA CLAIMED.

Long-Abandoned Silver Mine Said to Have Been Discovered, San Francisco, February 14--It the belief of two prospectors just returned from Mexico is substantiated they will have discovered in a long abandoned silver mine in the state of Durango one of the most famed of the old Spanish bonanzas, the ancient Naranjal, which has been lost to civilization for a century and a quarter. The miners are J. R. S. Kinnersley and his father-in-law.

James W. Shaw, both of this city. They have a Mexican partner, Francisco Saens, who, they say, accidentally discovered the mine and disclosed his secret to Shaw, who sent for Kinnersley, and the three organized an expedition. After a hazardous trip that led along the ledge of a yawning chasm of great depth, the old mine was reached. It is said great quantities of virgin silver were disclosed by picks.

It is supposed that a landslide shut out the old wagon trail that once led to the mine, effectually blotting out the bonanza. SOLE WRECK SURVIVOR'S TALE Panic on the Chanzy as Seas Overwhelmed Steamer That Struck Reef. Ciudadela, Balearic Islands, February 14--The steamer Balear, dispatched by the Spanish government, and the French derelict destroyers arrived here to-day and commenced salvaging the wreck of the General Chanzy. Marcel Rodel, the sole survivor, left for Barcelona to-day. He said that he was unhurt.

Before he left he was able Ito give a more nearly lucid account ot his experience. Throughout last Wednesday he said the sea lashed the vessel severely and at 5 o'clock in the morning following he was awakened by 3 irightful crash and roar as the vessel struck the reef. He ran to the gangway :111 with others reached the bridge. A panic ensued as amid 3 deafening tumuit the steamer was pounded by overwhelnung seas. Suddenly the whole stern was torn off and disappeared in the waves.

He continued: waters reared above and then fell upon us. I seized a plack and clung to it desperately. I remember no more until I found myself flat upon sand cOvered rock some distance from shore. As I lay there I suffered frightfully I thus remained for what seemed like days. realized that it was only a matter of time when I should be borne away by the waters that frequently submerged me, and so I finally plunged into the waves still hanging to the plank which had borne me from the wreck.

I was tossed here and there and finally fung upon the shore." The sea remained heavy to-day and bodies from the wreck are being torn to pieces. Portions of bodies can be seen upon projecting rocks some distance from the shore, where they probably will remain until picked up by the salvage boats. PEERAGE ROMANCE ENDED. London, February 14-The Sackville peerage romance came to a prosaic end to-day with the dismissal of the petition of Ernest Henry Sackville- who sought to establish a legal claim to the title and estates his father, the Lord Lionel former British minister at Washington. Sir John Bigham, president of the hate Court.

condemned the petitioner to pay the costs, which must have been very heavy. The petition was opposed by the present Lord Sackville, a nephew of the late Lord, on the ground that his uncle had never married Josefa Duran, the mother of the petitioner. COLONEL E. S. JEWETT DEAD.

Sundays, DREAMLAND TO BE SOLD AT AUCTION BY SHERIFF Outcome of Friendly Proceedings for Reorganization of Corporation. TO SECURE DEBENTURES. Joseph Huber and Eugene D. Wood Act for Holders of Bonds-Corporation to Buy Property. The sale of Dreamland Park at Coney Island is announced by Sheriff Quinn to take place on the premises on March 30.

This is the outcome of friendly proceedings to secure a reorganization of the corporation which manages this seaside place of amusement. The proceedings were taken in behalf of the debenture bondholders, and are for the purpose of securing the debenture bonds by mortgages on the property. The financial standing of the corporation is in way affected by the proceedings, according to the statement of S. S. Whitehouse, counsel for it.

but they are simply for the purpose of giving the holders of the debentures greater Security. The proceedings are brought by Joseph Huber and Eugene D. Wood on behalf of themselves as large holders of debenture bonds and other holders of the same. When the Dreamland Corporation was formed, in 1904, it was capitalized at 500,000, and the property was mortgaged to secure the funds needed for establishing an amusement park on a large scale. When more money was needed to enlarge the scope of the enterprise and to put up the large new buildings which were added to the plant, instead of increasing the mortgages, it was decided to issue debenture bonds, which are of the nature of promissory notes, to be paid off from the receipts of the enterprise.

The original amount of debentures issued was $750,000. A portion of these was paid off and there are now outstanding between $500,000 and $600.000. They were largely taken by the men interested in the corporation, of whom Messrs. Huber and Wood are two, and when they were not paid off, proceedings were taken to obtain more security, and the steps in this have resulted in an order by the Supreme Court for the sale of the property at auction on March 30. at noon, by William H.

Smith, auctioneer. Sheriff Patrick H. Quinn, under two executions against. Dreamland, has seized all right, title and interest to the land, buildings and improvements thereon in two parcels. One is described as old lot No.

10 on the Map of the Common Lands of Gravesend, as surveyed in September, 1878, described as follows: Beginning at the Atlantic Ocean at the line of division between old lot No. 10 and old lot No. 15, as shown in said map, and thence running north along said line to Surf avenue, then east along surf avenue to land of the prospect Park and Coney Island Railroad Company, thence south. along said last mentioned land to the Atlantic Ocean, and thence west along said ocean to the point or place of beginning. Parcel No.

2 includes the land and buildings on the easterly part of old lot No. 15, of the Common Lands of Gravesend, surveyed in 1878, and described as follows: Beginning at a point in the line of division between old lot No. 10 and said old lot No. 15, as shown in said map, distant 100 feet southerly from the southerly side of Surf avenue, as it now ists. running thence southerly along said division line and a line in continuation thereof 2,440 feet more or less to the exterior or southerly line of the land under water and water rights granted cr conveyed 10 the Ocean Pier Navigation and Pier Company of the State of New York in September 5.

1899, and recorded July 16, 1902, thence westerly along said extension or southerly line of the land so granted by the aforesaid deed or patent 150 feet more or less to a line in continuation between the easterly and westerly part of said old lot No. 15. thence northerly along a continuation of said division line and along said division line 2.440 feet more or less to a point thereon distant. 10 feet southerly from the southerly side of Surf venue and thence easterly along a line parallel with the southerly side of Surf avenue and distant 100 feet therefrom 150 feet more or less to the point or place of beginning. Mr.

Whitehouse said the proceedings would result in the buying in of the property by the present corporation, whose head is ex-Senator William H. Reynolds, and a reorganization which woull give additional security to the holders of the debentures. It would not inter'ere any way with the plans for the coming season of amusement at Dreamland There were no other outstanding obligations or indebtedness of the corporation. all other debts having been paid save those covered by the debentures and there being no outside creditors. The property of Dreamland covers some eleven or twelve acres at Coney Islaud and is valued at $2,500,000.

METHODISTS AROUSED. TAKE TIME BY FORELOCK Protest Against Saloon, Building for Which Has Not Yet Been Erected.

BUT RUMORS HAVE BEEN RIFE. Property Near DeKalb Avenue M. E. Church to Be Improved, and Churchmen Are Awake, The Rev. W.

W. W. Wilson. pastor of the DeKalb Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church, acting on behalf of the owners of private residences located within 200 feet of the corner of DeKalb and Franklin avenues, has filed a protest with the commissioner of licenses in Brooklyn against the issue of a license to a saloon at the northeast corner of DeKalb and Franklin avenues. At present the corner is occupied by a narrow frame shack, extending only 8 feet back from the street, and just large enough to afford room for two cigar counters.

But this property was recently purchased by the Abelg-Gol4 Realty Company, and hearing that a saloon might come to occupy the corner the authorities of the DeKalb Avenue Methodist Church, which is located about 200 feet southwest of the transferred site, at once took steps to prevent it. The matter has been much discussed in the neighborhood, and there are those who believe that the church people have been overhasty in their protest. Members of the real estate companies which soil and bought the site, said this morning that to the best of their knowledge 110 one was contemplating the establishment of a saloon at the corner in question. Dr. Wilson was not in Brooklyn this morning, but the Rev.

Charles P. Corner of 745 Greene avenue. a retired pastor of the Methodist Church, who was associated with Dr. Wilson in securing signatures to the petition of protest, told 8'1 Eagle reporter that he had been informed that it was intended to build a saloon there. Some years ago the Rev.

Dr. Wilson's predecessor succeeded in frustrating an attempt to establish a saloon in the same vicinity, and it only needed the rumor of a saloon invasion to set the church authorities at work. A committee was organized to take charge, and the first thing done was to measure off a distance of two hundred feet in all directions from the proposed site, to determine what owners of private houses were affected. It was first thought that the church building was within two hundred feet of the corner, but an accurate measurement showed that the entrance to the proposed building could be so located as to avoid the provision of the law, which says that no saloon shall be established within 200 feet of a church, "the distance to be measured from the nearest entrance to the nearest entrance." There was some talk of reopening a former side entrance to the church, which is 185 feet. from the corner, but the final decision was to appeal to the property owners in the neighborhood.

The law requires any person proposing to establish a saloon in the neighborhood of priva residences to obtain the consent of twothirds of the owners of all buildings, exclusively occupied as dwelling places, that lie within a radiys of 200 feet. The measurements made for the church committee showed that seventeen residences were affected. The owners of all of them were canvassed, and, according to the Rev. Mr. Corner ten or more have signed the protest which was filed with the commissioner of licenses.

"We are very much opposed to having a saloon put up at this o.rner.' the Rev. Mr. Corner said, this morning. "There is already one located only a short block further on, and we don't want another. Most of the property owners in the neighborhood are strongly opposed to having a saloon about.

Several of them are women: some of them attend our church, and don't believe that enough consents could be purchased to make up the required two-thirds." The property involved is a plot 80 feet deep, with a frontage of 200 feet on DeKalb avenue, which was recently sold by J. H. Rowland Sons. real estate brokers. of 478 DeKalb avenue, to the Abels Cold Real.ty Company.

One of the members of the Rowland firm said this morning: "I think Dr. Wilson is giving himself a lot of trouble. Up to the present 110 one has proposed putting a saloon on that corner. A short time ago we sold the property to the Abels- Gold Realty Company. Title to the property will not be passed until February 20.

Then the purchaser will raze the old buildings and put up a new business block. I suppose they will sell their new buildings to whoever will give the highest price for them. But for the present I know nothing about a proposed saloon. and I don't think anybody else knows anything about it." S. Abels, president of the Abels- Gold Realty Company, whose offices are in the Temple Bar Building, indorsed what Mr.

Rowland said: "We bought the property as builders. and we are going to put up ten threestory brick buildings." he said. "On the corner lot we are going to put un a building 25x80 feet. which will be a first class business building. We have had a number of offers for this corner site already.

One man has bid $32,000 for it, but we are holding out for $36.000. So far as I know, this bidder is not contemplating the establishment of a saloon, nor have any of the other persons who have made inquiries about it that intention, So far as I know. We are not building a saloon 011 that corner. we are putting up a business block. But, of course, we are not concerned with what the purchaser docs with it after he has bought it." At the office of the commissioner of 1i- censes, in the Eagle Building, it was said this morning that the protest signed by the property owners had been received from Dr.

Wilson and filed, but that no one had applied for a license to establish a saloon on the premises in question. 12 YRS. FOR HIGHWAY ROBBER. He Took. All That Gaviles Had, Which Was Only 65 Cents--An Old Prison Bird.

It wasn't the fact that he got but 05 cents when he held up Joseph Gaviles on the night of February 1, Judge Dike told Thomas McCormack this morning, that was sending him to Sing Sing for twelve years. It was his proven criminal career. Judge Dike said, and the necessity of putting the fear of Brooklyn justice in the hearts of highwaymen. McCormack. with the help of an accomplice.

took all his victim had about him. He had been in prison for burglary and his plea of robbery in the second degree in this case didn't help him. McCormack came over to Brooklyn from Hoboken 10 do business on the night of February 1, and it proved to be a costly trip for him. Two other youths with bad records got Sing Sing sentences this morning from Judge 1 Dike. They were Thomas Wall, 18, and John Gallagher, 23.

They stole a lot of the property of Morris Ruderman 011 January 23 and were caught. They got five years this morning. Edward Wood, a third youth of the gang, was sent 10 Elmira. SON OF MINISTER FOUND DEAD. Philadelphia, February 14-The body of the young man found dead yesterday, in J.

BROOKLYN ON DIAMONDS, WATCHES, LOANS PERSONAL JEWELRY AND PROPERTY ALL LADIES' PRIVATE ENTRANCE WIFE SAYS JOY AND S600 FADED WITH HONEYMOON Woman Tells Domestic Woes and Blames Chiropodist Husband for Trouble. WEDDED SHORT TIME: QUIT. She Says Only Thirty Cents Was Left Her After Dream of Happiness. The domestic troubles of Fannie and Adolph Kasiner will be fully aired, it is believed. in the Adams street court next Thursday, before Magistrate Tighe, people in the neighborhood and Livingston streets are interested over outcome.

The pair yet been married four months, and in that time Fannie has become displeased--very much displeased, indeed- -at husband, and has gone back to live with her own people in Manhattan. Kasiner is a chiropodist, with an office at 38 Bond street, but he has an idea that he will soon exchange the toe business for the teeth. In fact, he is studying dentistry and will have his shingle out 05 a tooth artist before very long, if he is lucky in his examinations. He was married three months and two weeks ago, and since that time his wife says she has led a most distressing life. She had $600 saved up when she was married, but she declares that he has borrowed it all from her and she bad just 30 cents in the world, and a most exacting appetite, according story, when she was applying to Magistrate Tighe, in the Adams street, court, the other day, for a warrant for her husband's arrest.

The charge against him is abandonment, and Kasiner was arrested by Officer Lang of the court squad. Mrs. Kasiner. who is about 24 veare old. told the policeman that the man had managed to get her money away from her in installments.

The first $200 was, as she understood it, to enable him to buy some office fixtures. But the $200 wars not enough, he pleaded, after it had been spent, and he got another $100. That disappeared too, and his final demand was for $300. which she readily parted with on his representation that the office was to be now something palatial, She was amazed, on inspection. 60 she said, to find that there had been no money to speak of spent in fixing up the place.

Indeed. instead of furniture accumulating it seemed to decrease. She missed a table one day, and a few days after that a very fine chair disappeared, and she gained the impression that her husband was converting the fixtures into cash.

SAVING OF $30,000 A YEAR. Manhattan's Commissioner of Public Works to Do Work Formerly Devolving on Superintendents. Borough President MeAneny wielded the official ax to-day and abolished the positions of six superintendents under his administration.

Of all the Fusion borough presidents he has been the most radical in getting rid of places which he believed were useless. It is understood that the position of superintendent of sewers is one of the places Mr. McAneny has dispensed with. This carried with it a salary of $5,000 per annum and under the Ahearn administration was filled by Frank J. Goodwin, now deputy charities commissioner.

The nosition of superintendent of highways, filed by George Scannell. another Tammany district leader. is also abolished. John R. Voorhees also goes under the new order of things.

He held the position et superintendent of public buildings and offices. There are several other superintendencies which went by the board and which President MeAneny will make public this afternoon. The Borough President of Manhattan feels that the work of these different bureaus can be competently done by the commissioner of public works. The superintendents, on investigation, he founl were mere figureheads. By this policy of economy Mr.

McAneny will save the city at least $30,000 in salaries. Mr. McAneny announced that he has promoted Edgar V. Frothingham from assistant to Commissioner of Public Works at a salary of $6,000 per annum. Mr.

Frothingham's old position will be filled by William R. Patterson at a salary of $5,000 per annum. In abolishing the position of superintendent of highways, Mr. MeAneny brings to an end the question raised by James G. Collins, as to whether he was the legal head of the bureau.

Collins was superintendent during the administration of Borough President Cantor. He was dismissed and George Scannell was appointed to succeed him. Recently Collins was reinstated by the courts. and he is suing Scannell for back salary, aggregating $30.000. Collins is still in possession of the office, which he took by force just before the Christmas holidays.

He is armed with a gun, and also a telescope. The telescope he uses in scanning Park row for prospective invaders. Mr. MoAneny announced to-day that now he has abolished the position, if Mr. Collins does, not give up the office peaceably, he will be evicted through the courts.
