GARAGE FOLKS ARE SMILING. If There Are Any Such in This City They Are Still Dodging Identification. If you happen to be fond of automobil-ing and at the tame time not possessed of enough of this world goods to own your own machine, wouldn't it surprise you to learn that the cool-headed, expert chauffeur who whisks you over the roads In the car you have rented at your favorite garage might be a woman, masquerading in a man's And that very thing may have happened to you, according to a statement made by Miss Grace Strachan, head lobbyist for the school teachers bill, before the Board of Education last night. In a vehement plea for the right, of her sex. Miss Strachan startled the staid members of the board by suddenly de daring; "Why, I have heard that three women chauffeurs, disguised as men, are working In this city, receiving men's wages.

They disguise themselves as men because otherwise they would not. receive as much pay as they do now. The age Is too far advanced and enlightened to for moment of paying the toiler by the clothes worn." A reporter for the Eagle called at the home of Miss Strachan, 293 Henry street to see if further details could not be ob tained about the masquerading women chauffeurs. Miss Strachan herself could not be seen, but through her sister she sent downstairs '-he following explana- tion of the statement: "I do not wish to be understood as saying that I made that statement of my own knowledge. I happened to be out the other evening and was told that such a state of affairs existed.

1 do not know who the women are, nor Co I know where they are employed. "I made the statement to the Board of Education merely as an illustration of how far women are discriminated against In the matter of salary and to what lengths It is apparently necessary for some of them to go to gain equal recognition." After leaving Miss Strachan's home, the reporter visited several garages In this borough to find out what the proprietors thought about Miss Strachan's statement and to see if they could give any further Information on the subject. Here Is what the first man seen had to say: "Women chauffeurs disguised as men working in any of the garages of this city? Wll, not to my knowledge, and I fancy some report of the thing would have reached my ears if there was any foundation for the statement made by Miss Strachan. I gueas you don know women, young man, or you would realize that the woman doesn't live who could practise that deception for more than a day or two. Why the very first time she got in a tight place runntng the machine, out would come a little feminine squeal, and the secret would Then the, women would have to be dis charged for one of two Either the proprietor of the establishmeat would be afraid of the risk he might Incur, in-continuing to keep women disguised men in his employ, or me masquerading chauffeurs would soon become so popular that no cars could be rented unless It was agreed that the masquerading chauffeurs should drive them." Another proprietor said: "My chauffeurs go all over the city and if there was any foundation for Mies Strachan etatement.

I am sure they would have been wise to the sltuatipn long ago. Then they would have, been pleading with me to have engaged three chauffeurs of their acquaintance, who they knew were the very best In all the town. 'Whoever gave Miss Strachan that la- formation must have recently been to some melodramatic, performance where the heroine disguised herself as a man they do do that there, you knew and, acting as a chauffeur, spilled the villain of the play over the brink of some abyss." Btui another garage proprietor had this to sav: "Tommy rot, tommy rot; that's all there to that report. In the first place, all the world knows that, every well-regu- Who Go Ing member.

Must First Go Over Large Number of Documents of Old Transit Commission. On Monday morning at 8 o'clock the new Public Utilities Commissioners will take the oath of office and, asurae the dudes and powers designated to them under the now famous Public Utilities bill None of the newly appointed commissioners seen to-day thought it ad-risable to talk for publication, but several things were made clear by the opinions and Intentions expressed by them.

The Commission will ocupy the present quarters of the Rapid Transit board at 320 Broadway, temporarily at least. There is a general sentiment among the Commissioners that this arrangement will be only temporary. Although the sentiment has not been, put in words by any one of the Commissioners, it Is clear that they all believe that it will be ad-Tisable to dissociate the now commission from the old one in the public mind in every possible way, and it is probable that new headquarters will be established as soon as the Commission "finds irseir. The fact that there Is a very large accumulation of documentary mat-tar to be gone over at the old headquarters makes it necessary for the timo at least to remain at 320 Broadway. The first thing which Is made evident by conversation with the new commissioners is that the Governor has chosen men of personality and Ideas.

All realize that the task before them is a very difficult one, but there is, with possibly one exception, no man of the five who will begin his work with any lack of confidence. Indeed, it might be said with truth that there are three men on the commission who would not hesitate to tackle the Job of regulating corporations single handed. Under these conditions, it is clear that the danger which faces the commission Is rather a possible lack of unanimity in opinion than the ponderous inertia which has characterized the retiring board up to the advent of W. S. Hurley.

The new members have not yet met and would be difficult to estimate in advance where the control of the commission will reside. It seems safe to predict, however, that Commissioners Mc-Carroll and Bassett will be anything but silent partners in the activities of the board. While these men are members of the- board it is certain that there will be no discrimination shown In favor of any other boroughs at the expense of Brooklyn and Queens. Both Chairman Willeox and William McCarroll had to abandon European vacation trips, which they had already arranged. Mr.

Willeox sent his resignation postmaster to Washington yesterday afternoon with a strong recommendation tothat his present Edward M. Morgan, be appointed to Bucceed him. Mr. Willeox expressed regret at leaving the postal service, but said that he believed the public utilities commlssloner-ahtp offered a field for greater usefulness: Now that the commlsslone-rshtps are ettled there is a host of candidates tor the place of secretary to the commission. It is safe to say that there were fully two hundred candidates for the commission from Greater New York, and to-day it appears that a good proportion of those who did not land the big Jobs think themselves eminently lilted to fill the place of secretary.

Luther B. Little, the secretary of the Republican State Committee, is perhaps the most prominent candidate. If Republican political influence could obtain the place there is little question that Mr. 1 ittle would be appointed secretary. One of the Brooklyn men who has strong support is Major F.

H. E. Ebstein, who has demonstrated his efficiency in ofPce as Deputy Police Commissioner. Major Ebstein Is a Republican, but not a strong organization man, and of the same independence In politics as the members of the commission. REPORTED BY WIRELESS.

A. ai STILL DECLARES HE'S FIT. Admitted to Bail in Folic. Court. Captain Tighe Retires Mulvey Transferred.

Joseph Price, the veteran detertive and lieutenant of police, who was placed on the retired list with a pension the other day, very much to his disgust and complete Indignation, was arrested last night at his residence charged w'th having violated the law In retaining his shield office after a demand had been made' upon him for Its return to the department. Price had a notion that the surrender of his shield would' be a virtual admission that he was out of the business, and he will not admit that. He declares that his retirement, albeit It was made oh the recommendation of the Board of Police Surgeons, was Illegal, and he Is going to take the matter to court and get back If he can. He is a veteran of the war and Is quite an old man now. but he claims that he Is as sound as a bell and fit for any police work to which he may be assigned.

Price was once retired for dlsabllitybe fore, but he got back through the courts. Then he was remanded to precinct work as a uniformed lieutenant, and he kicked at that, 'fiut he stuck to his work. There were charges brought against him and in the trial room Deputy Commissioner O'Keeffe told Price that he had better get out of the- business. That gentle hint was lost on the old soldier, and be stuck to his guns or his pens and ink and blotter. Then he went on his vacation, but he had not been away two days when he was recalled, to go before the doctors.

And so be was retired, on a pension of $1,000 for the remainder of his life. Price says this was all wrong, and declined to give up his badge. Borough Inspector flood instructed the police to arrest him for keeping It, and that is the solution now. Price says he did not steal the badge and there will be an Investigation. Price was taken before Magistrate Naumer in the Myrtle avenue court, to day, and held ln 500 ball for examina tion at a future date.

John H. Morris, saloonkeeper, of Myrtle and Carlton avenues was his bondsman. Captain Nicholas Condon of the Flushing avenue precinct was the complainant. Mr. Price 62 years old.

He -was appointed to the police' force on August 1, 1871, and together with flfty-elght other meq was laid off on May 9, 1905. He served during the Civil War ln the United States Navy. He attributes his removal to the sinister influence of a man named Foley, whom Price arrested In New York about twenty-five years ago for an alleged participation in burglary at two houses of two Brooklynltes, a Mr. De Cordova, In Cambridge and a Mr. Walker In Downing street.

He said to-day and hi eyes flashed Are as he said it: "1 propose to stay ln the business, ine law distinctly says that a veteran of the Civil War has to be; tbtarlly -Incapacitated before he can be removed from office, and If the oQice Is abolished he must bo provided with one of equal standing. Why Justice Gaynor. in delivering his decision on the peremptory mandamus at the time that lpgal action was taken by tne members of the Police Department that -were removed, said that the surgeons should have signed the certificate of disability, and added that if they had done so they would have made themselves amenable to a civil damage suit. "Why, do you know the 59 men that were laid off were all back in the department Inside of two But I know the reason for this fake business. When a relative of the man Foley Saw Captain Formosa some time ago, I was given to understand that there was something up.

The captain called me in later and said: 'Do you see what you are up I consider myself off on vacation from June 22 to July 2. The fact of the matter is that the Police Department is demoralized through having incompetent men who do not know what police business la." Captain Robert Tighe. the commanding officer of the Butler street station, was retired yesterday bv the commissioner on Tlehe Is one of the veterans of the force and originally came from Manhattan.

Lieutenant MeNamee was the senior lieutenant in the district.

Detective Lieutenant Thomas Mulvey, who had been assigned to duty In the district attorney's office for a long time, was transferred yesterday to precinct duty in the Fort Hamilton Mulvey lives in Bath Beach and was In charge of the Bath Beach police at the time of the consolidation of the town pension, and with the consolidation he came back to the police force.

There was held yesterday in Justice Blunchard's part of the Supreme Court a hearing in a suit for annulment of marriage brought by Anton Anstett. a builder of 366; Palmetta street, against his recent bride, Evelyn.

Dr.

Darlington Determined to Have Garbage Removed Statement From the Men. Mayor McClellan came in from Prince ton this morning to personally take charge of the street cleaning situation. He said this morning tbat he would also be at the City Hall to-morrow. He declares there Is no hope of dealing with tbe situation by arbitration, as the strik ers are city employes and under the civil service rules. The edict went forth that the men must go back to wertc by 2 o'clock this afternoon or be discharged.

Mayor McClellan had a conference with Commissioner Craven and Sanitary Superintendent Bonsel this morning and It was admitted that things looked serious. Everywhere the garbage is piled up in heaps, and while there are 700 men on strike only 150 were on hand to-day to -do the work of removing garbage, refuse, ashes, etc. The men charge Deputy Com missioner Edwards, who used-to a Princeton football player, with bad treat ment, and that he uses vile language toward them and docks itheir pay In aa ar bitrary manner. A start has been made toward cleaning up the elty -sweets, but-progress is slow, particularly ln the crowded tenement dis tricts. Some carts got out this morning, Men hired wherever they could be found were put to work and vigorous action from now on Is contemplated by the Health Department.

Fourteen carts started out from Stable at 503 East One Hundred and Sixteenth street, at 7 o'clock. Thirty-five "p-llcemen from other precincts had been sent into Harlem and stationed at the East One Hundred and Twenty-sixth Street Station, to guard the city property and see to it that the men hired to clean up the streets were not interfered with. Small details of police were stationed at various points, while a strong-force of reserves was held at the station. Trouble with the striking drivers began as soon as the carts began to move in Harlem. The district known as upper little Italy, on the East Side, was with excited men.

Italians mingled freely with tbe striking drivers and there was a strong undercurrent brewing from the start. At times the police had to keep the people moving, scattering the crowds which gathered about thf Street Cleaning Department etable and threatened to intimidate the men who had been hired un der the emergency measures adopted by the health officials to set things aright. George Burdlct of 307 East One Hun dred and Thirty-fifth street drove a horse attached to one of the carts but the stable a few minutes after 7 o'clock. He got as far as One Hundred and Eighteenth street and Pleasant avenue on his rounds when a wang of fifty strikers and their sympathizers surrounded his cart. The gang threw stones and sticks -and anything It could lay hands on.

and some men pulled Murdict down pit ols seat and began to beat him. People ln the neigh-bornood set up the cry- of and half a aoen oltlcers ran up from several ai-rectlons. The policemen rescued Burdlct and sent the mob scattering right ana left, using clubs freely for the purpose. Burdlct pointed out Antonio Amazaro ot 315 East One Hundred and Fourteenth street as one of bis assailants and the latter was locked up and later taken to. the Harlem police court on a charge of assault.

No other arrests were made at the time. Amazaro was arraigned before Magistrate Wahle in the Harlem court and sent to workhouse tor an Indefinite time. The magistrate said that New York at this time was a veritable pest hole. After having been up all night working to straighten out the garbage accumulation, Health Commissioner Darlington was at the Health Department Headquarters this morning giving orders and hustling men about to clean out the. refuse.

Dr. Darlington said: "The situation is not as good as I expected to have It. this morning, but before the day is out I hope to have the garbage moving ln something like regular The has. been heretofore that the men we employed in the work are jelly fish. They have no backbone, and are easily scared.

The men I brought down from Otlsville last night got very much frightened when they saw bricks falling off the roofs of houses in dangerous proximity to their heads, and they all faded away. I am getting men from various contractors for the emergency, and 1 need more. While this situation lasts there Is no need to be an Idle man in tbe city who really wants to work, for I shall hire all I can get. I hope to get about 3O0 drivers to-day, but 1 really need 600 to do the work properly. There will be no epidemic, for the Health Department -is on the job and will stay on it until all danger has been removed and conditions have resumed a normal, attitude." A committee of the Btrikers has Issued the following statement: On behalf of the Department of Street Cleaning Drivers, we.

a committee, rep-r resenting -the men employed therein, ask vol Is slae before the public our position, which Is as follows: First. We are all citizens of the United States and number 2.000 and upward. Second. Fines have been Imposed upon our men without an opportunity of being heard. In order that the public may know some of the alleged offences tor which the men are fined, we will refer to that of permitting a horse to trot.

Green horses are often given to the men and If one such ls allowed to tret, no matter- if up uiaisiiLV lie. in iu hul is uut a few the driver is fined from five ten days' pay. which they have actually earned by services rendered to the city. ints money is lorteitea oy ine aroitrary action of the department without duo process of law and tbe men are given no op portunity to rebut any charges made against them. Another instance Is a ran of ashes containing a small amount of garbage which is concealed and cannot be seen by the driver at -the time empting the can into the when It is discovered at the dump by the inspector the driver is immediately fined five or ten days.

Third Under the rules of the department after a teamster has served seventeen or eighteen months he is entitled to a badge. After receiving this badge be becomes a member of the uniformed force and by virtue of same Is entitled to the payment of $S00 per year. Under the pres- ent commissioner this Is but a snsre aed a delusion, as the Iepartment has put In practice a rule whereby they lay off these 1 men without notice and upon the ground.

I as they state, for want of work, when in fact and truth there is plenty ot work. but. the men are laid off and the work Is done by cheaper men. known as "extras" in the department, whose pay Is J2 per day. The men engaged in this department want to know why they are so grossly discriminated against when the city ha3 only recently agreed to pay the full and prevailing rate of wages to all Its em- t.

PRESCOTT, 2d Vice Pres. U. T. 806 8th Ave. I'p to noon to-day the local office of the Department of Street Cleaning received absolutely no complaint, did It hear murmurs of discontent' from the drlvere, helpers, stablemen or- sweepers who work In this borougn unaer tne jurisdiction of Deputy Commissioner Owen JV: Murphy.

One of Commissioner Murphy's men mado a careful study of -the situation in this borough yesterday and he brought back to his chief assuranc that tbe men are perfectly satisfied, and that they make no objection whatever to the rules or their method of enforcement, Precisely the same rules and regulations govern the working force of the Department of Street Cleaning here, in Manhattan and in the other boroughs, and, while the Manhattan force is object ing very strenuously to working under tne conditions created, they say, by Deputy Commissioner Edwards' method of enforc- ng the rules, the men here And the rules satisfactory, live up to them and maintain order and discipline that surpasses that of other boroughs. A man well posted 011 department affairs in every part of the city told an Eagle reDorter this afternoon that Dep uty Commissioner Murphy, ever since coming Into office, has adopted a liberal policy with regard to rules ana regulations. This liberal policy has made' the men more anxious to live up to the rules and tho discipline among the Brooklyn workers of the department is everything that could be desired. That such Is the case was demonstrated yesterday morning, when the weekly trials of "delinquents were neia in Commissioner Murphy's office. There were less than a dozen complaints against men on the force of 7,500 sweepers and cartmen in this borough, and not one.

of the charges was of a serious nature. Instead of inflicting heavy fines, as Commissioner Edwards does, for trivial offenses, Commissioner Murphy Inflicts a penalty that meets with the if the 'delinquent" is fouud guilty. POLICE GET SPEEDERS.1 Tod Sloan and Other Notables Caught in Flatbush Two Accidents Due to Speeding. Yesterday. Two accidents and the, arrests of seven automobilists kept the, desk lieutenant at the Parkville Precinot station busy yesterday afternoon and evening.

A well- known Jockey, the chauffeur Of a former Queens Borough President and an, auto manufacturer were among the prisoners bagged.

FIRECRACKER KILLED BOY. Autorhobilist Saw Little Fellow Ail Ablaze on 'Eastern Parkway and Took Him to Hospital. Burning by Fourth of July firecrackers caused th death yesterday of 6-year-old William Samuel Woods: Happy over his graduation from a primary class of Pub-, lie School No. 35, the little fellow, with the other children, was given money by his mother to buy ice'' cream, as a re- ward. The boy.

Instead, purchased Are-. crackers, it is thought, and, with a couple of boy companions, walked up to the Eastern Parkway to explode them, without his mother's knowledge. Little Will iam also took a box of matches with him from the house. William Woods, the father, is a motor- man on the Tompkins avenue line, living at 1551 Fulton street, and in his car' overtook the boys at the parkway, about' 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and offered to -take them aboard, for a ride. But his son -William said his mother was coming to the.parkway herself, so the father sped en his way.

Had he taken the boys with Him all would have been well. Instead, the youngsters went down the road and played together. Exactly how the accident occurred is not known, but it is thought that William, when he was some: distance from his companions, fell, and that the matches set fire to the firecrackers in his pockets. Soon hiB clothing was all ablaze, and the boy ran about tn agony. The parkway.

In the afternoon, is not frequented by many people, and-it is not known how long the lad's clothing was ablaze before help came. It developed later that a passing automo-bilist saw the plight of the boy and rushed him to St. Mary's Hospital, at St. Mark's and Buffalo avenues. About 6 o'clock the mother received word of.

the accident from the hospital authorities and went to the Institution. The doctor in charge said that the boy was terribly burned internally and there was practically no hope for recovery. About 9 o'clock, while his mother watched by him, the lad fell Into a deep sleep, and a little later he died. The terrible accident has prostrated the entire family. The father, who did not see hl3 son after passing him ln his car, is dazed.

The boy was a sturdy little fellow, bright and full of promise, the favorite of all who knew him. and the only boy In the family. His mother is frantic with grief. There are two other Children in the family. STRICKEN ON STREET.

There's a Reason" I Police Hunting Hard for Italian Brooklyn. He had been then a re-D 'tired New York policeman, getting a Got Out of Myrtle Avenue Court Cell. The police are still looking for Frank De Vilo, 16 years old. the young Italian of Carroll street who escaped some time between 12 and 1 o'clock yesterday after- noon from the Myrtle avenue court. There are two cells at the Myrtle avenue court, and that for male Inmates is about 10x20 feet in size.

It has two windows, which look out on an alleyway protected by a brick wall about ten feet high. The fugitive made hla escape through an opening In the bricks below one of the windows on this alleyway. Then he had to climb up on the sills of the windows in order to get out. What adds to the mystery is the fact that 'be young Italian made his escape when there were quite a number of persons around lie vuo was nrst iouna missing hi 14. on clock, as the prisoners were being transferred 10 the van.

There Is no doubt but that the Drlsoner i was helped from the outside and tbat the work was bi gun on the previous night. I From an Investigation It would appear that the bricks were taken out and then I replaced, the prisoner waiting until the I examination was closed and he realized what was ln store for him. Then he elm- ply lifted the bricks and got out. LOAD OF C0C0ANTJTS BURNS. A truck load of i-ocoanuts.
