Ittpresentatlvu ltuchitnan of Illinois, Democrat, demanded a division on a motion adjourn. l)y a voto of S2 to 22 the HuJbe voted to adjourn. As a motion to Impeach Is of the hlgh-'l tt privilege, there Is 110 way that Mr.

Park can be shut off. Chairman Clayton of the Judiciary Committee said 'to-duy tact If a resolution of Inquiry was offered It auuld doubtless be passed. Tl.e Judiciary Committee has already considered the Wright case und decided. It h.u no Jurisdiction. The committee mado It clear that It would maka 1.0 Inquiry Into the conduct of any Judge ur.lcsr he was formally Impeached by 11 aeibi-r on hla responsibility tin a member.

HUFF'S LOYALTY IS BLAMED. AtteMpla to "Heaeh" t'oirt-mar-Haled OSBVrr Are Chanced. TTaiuunotoh, March 20.

Ilefore aetlne oa the case of Lleutenant-Commandir P. Huff, convicted by a court-tuirtlal at Norfolk of conduct unbecoming srt olHcer und gentleman In striking J. P. Kles-ckcr. an employee of the Newport Nev.tr Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Ccmptny.

Secretary of the Nnvy Daniels fll lnxrxtlgnto charged that Huffs trou-t'e reallv grew out of his loyalty to the Caltd Hiutes tJovernment. Friends of Hun assert that the shipbuilding company wished In some way to "rer-cY" Huff because the naval officer as ordnunce oftlcer of the new battleship Teias was holding up the acceptance of the new vessel owing to faulty work on the part of tho company. Kleseciter. It alleged hv friends of the oflloer, was ilt lulled bj Iho company get In the Rood sracos of Huff In order he mUht be brought to alter .1 course widen was working hardship, tao-jgh no Injustice, upon the company. It Is said accounts for the attentions puld to tho officer and wife by Klesecker.

O-j. Inn to the rules of naval court-martial, fcowevr, this matter did not come before the court us evidence. Had It been pretexted It would have been ruled out as tn-i6rrtlM4ble because It was obviously not tfr.c;ly concerned with the fact that HuS actually did strike Klesecker. Coun-Ml for Huff, however, referred to this rfcas of the matter In hla argument, though he did not go so far as to make the charge that trie company had tried ruch Huff through Klesecker.

IMS II OHIO, tTIAI tun, Tnm Thieves Oet a la Jewelry "rasa Bowery Blare. Tho show window of David Pry's pawnshop, 278 Howery, was smashed yesteiday afternoon and two trays of valuables worth about 12,000 were stolen by two youths, who first barred tho store door to delay pursuit. The thieves tot away. A clerk In tho store heard the youths place an Iron bar through the handle, on the outside of the door and snap a padlock that held It In place. The plate glass was crashed In and, before the clerks realised what had happened, the tiays with watches and rings were missing.

Then they found themselves locked In. Tho crowd that gathered grinned at the clerks' request to dislodge the bur. When the police arrived tho lock had been forced loose. This is the third robbery by the same band of thieves In five days. The Jewelry store of Bernard Halter, 144 Bast Houston street, was looted of 1,500 In gems In the same way March ID.

The same plan worked successfully on March IS on the Jewelry store of J. A. Welntraub, 144 Avenue when the thieves got away with I 1,000 In Three men arrested on the Ninth street platform of tho Third avenue elevated early this morning arc supposed 40 bo of tho gnhg who robbed Krey'a store.

Caiiusix, March Tho long drawn out Investigation Into the affairs of the Carlisle Indian School as administered by 8upt. M. Friedman took a sudden and unexpected turn here to-day In the arrest of Chief Cletk Hlcenl J. Norl, an educated Indian who for somo years has hud charge of the office work at the school. Tho arrest wna made on Information preferred by Friedman, the suspended superintendent, who alleges that Norl has embezzled moneys belonging to Indian students and has been guilty of the removal and destruction of memoranda of receipts for such moneys.

John W. Wetzel, who Is associated with W. I'. Hensel of I-anraster nnd William A. Kramer of Carlisle, other attorneys for Friedman.

Issued a statement this afternoon In which he said that rumors had come to MV. Friedman that Norl tn an examination by a Government In- specter hail made acknowledgment of the misappropriation of certain funds lielong- Ing to Indian students nnd that he had removed from the olllco of the school bunker. Will H. Miller, certain receipts given for tald funds. Norl Is alleged to have shifted the blame on Mr.

Friedman in the statement made for Government Inspector Llnncn, who gathered most of the evidence and formulated the charges for which Friedman has been under Investigation during the past two months. These charges aro now awaiting transmission for a day of hearing before the Indian Commissioner In Washington. "Mr. Frlfdman and hla friends concluded." said Mr. Wetzel, "that Hie only thing he could do, while he rogrctted the move, was to arrest Norl and thus Invite a full and open lnvstlgatlon In the documentary files at the Carlisle Indian School to establish the Identity of tho person guilty of embezzlement." This afternoon Ditectlve Bentley.

acting under search warrant, made a thorough Investigation of the apartments occupied by the chief clerk. It Is understood that a large number of documents from the file of the offices were discovered and Impounded before Magistrate Hughes, but as to tlulr character Attorney Kramer would say no'hlug. The accused clerk Is held In $1,000 ball. It Is thought here that the publicity now forced on the InvesilKatorj will result In clear dellnltlon of Just what Is charged against Stiperlnttndent Friedman. Ijocal sentiment almorft a unit In support of Friedman' administration.

Friedman, although suspended for many weeks was not Informed until yesterday us to the chargo against him. These, his friends say. he has amashed to pieces with conclublvo answers and direct refutation. The charges have not been made pubis. THE 8EAG0ERS.

GOETHALS DEPARTS With Republicans in Assembly Split House May Kill Measures. Ma) or Mltchel saw all of his political lieutenants and Instruments yesterday In final effort to make tho Legislature pass the pollco bills, which are aimed to bring Col, Ooethals here as Police Commissi oh er. The Colonel sailed for Panama on tha Colon at 4 :30 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The Mayor had a long talk with George W. Perkins In tho morning Mr.

Mltchel would not deny that he had let Col. Ooethals go away without communicating with him, nnd It was assumed at the City Hall that Mr. Perkins had acted again as Intermediary. Mr. Mltchel seemed to be as sure as ever that Col.

Ooethals will come to New York tn the event that tho bills puss. Nevertheless, the word wns circulated that Mr. Perkins Is being schooled for Ponce Commissioner In case tho Legislature remains' recalcitrant. Neither Mr. Perkins nor Mr.

Mltchel would deny absolutely that Mr. Perkins may head the Pollco Dcpurtment. Tho Mayor appreciates the effect of this supposition on the people at Albany. The legislature plainly does not want a Progressive In so importont a post. Of all Progressives Mr.

Perklnn Is next to tho last man the legislators wnnt In any post. Also the Is raid to be threatening a vigorous campaign ngalnst tho enemies of the bills at the polls next fHll. Samuel S. Koenlg. president of the IP-publlcan county committee, had a tall: with the Mayor.

Mr. Koenlg said for publication that he "wns still hopeful" that the bills would pass. Mr. Mltchel sail that he thought Mr. Koenlg did ns well ua he could.

Mr. Perklnfl's talk with the Mayor was In company with Henry Hruero and Itob-crt 8. Hinkerd. secretary of tho 'City Club. Mr.

Perkins had returned from Albany a few hours bcrorc. "I saw Gov. Olynn. who favorB the measure," said Mr. Perkins.

"I can hardly think that the legislators are willing to take the responsibility of defeating this measure. "I am not politician enough to have detected signs of any hidden or corrupt influence nenlnst tho bills." When Mr. Perkins w.ib asked If would take the Pollen Commisslonershlp himself he said "I am a citizen keenly Interested In public matters and anxloun to help Mayor Mltchel In any way. I want Col. Ooethals for Police Commissioner with all my he Art.

Now I don't wnnt to say I would not take what has not lwn orrerm me ana I don't want to say I would take It If It wns offered. An answer would hardly be courteous to the Mayor." AtuA.vT, Murch CO. With the Itepubll-can majority of the Assembly split over the pollco bllM and Democratic Lender Smith aligned ngalnut them It was flguted to-night that they have little cnance, ot nasslnic the lower lioufe. Semite leaders declared that If the Aicinbly kilted the bllli the Henate would do the eame. while If the Assembly by any chance did pass them the political exigencies or tne situation might dtmund their passage In the Senate.

Mayor Mltchel's refusal to accept the amendment to his bill proposed by Assemblyman George It. Hrutn.in. Itepubll-can. of Kings at the Hvpuhllcan confer ence Wednesday night Is tho direct cause of the plight. It was asserted.

Assemblyman llrennan nnd other New Tork city members declare that thirty will vote ngaltiht the police bills und that this will bo more than enough to defeat them. SAYS TEACHER KIDNAPPED SON.

Judge Lucombe ot tha United States Circuit Court of Appeals, whose attention Is usually engaged with sedate problems of patent rights and such things, decided a case yesterday In which he had to -study the (photographed) faco and figure of the young woman who posed for pictures that outrlvalled "September Morn." The Judge says In hi opinion that when a young woman toes for one picture with a cherry In her mouth and a imlln oil her face, and then sits' for the second picture without oven a cherry or a smile, the pictures are not essentially different.

Therefore' tho Judge holds that Holoman Betlgman, nn art publisher of this city, by printing and selling copies of the pic-turn entitled "The Grace of Youth." Infringed the copyright held by Edward Gross, publisher ot the picture "Cherries ftlpe." In both pictures the girl sits on the floor with her hands clasped about her knees. "The only difference between the original nnd the alleged duplicate." says Judge Lucomlte, "Is that tho young woman In the older picture wears a smile and holds a cherry In her mouth. The model In one Is sedate, and In the other smiling. Moreover, In tho second picture tho young woman wan two years older and somo slight changes In tho contour of. her form aro noticeable."

zM5 GAFPNEY QUESTIONED BEFORE GRAND JURY Statute of Limitations Now Pro tects Boss Murphy's Friend. DOESN'T HELP GRAFT HUNT Falls to Supply "Missing Link" in Contract Buying: Inquiry. James K. Gaffney, contractor, friend of contractors and political associate of Charles F. Murphy, was a witness yes-tcrday before the Grand Jury which has been Investigating for several months tha awarding of aqueduct contracts, and other alleged forms' of-, graft' The statute of limitations added yesterday to the resources of those who liave 'been named In connection with the trans action by.

which Patterson got an aqueduct contract after they had paid The money was paid live years ago yesterday. James O. Rhaw, who said he' acted as agent for Patterson ft has testified that he paid the, money, but he has 'sworn that ha can't remember to whom he paid it. All ho can remember Is that he paid the money according to Instructions gtv.cn to him by John M. Murphy.

Mr. Murphy has testified that he told Shaw to pay It to James Gaft'ney and that ho received per cent, of It for his labor in arranging the payment. So It was that Mr. Oaffney, free from any apprehension that he might be proceeded against for the part which Murphy says he played in the transaction, was caller! yeatciday In the hope that he might enlighten the Grand Jury as to the identity of the peran who received the money from Shaw and as to the Identity of other persons among whom this money may have-1een divided. Mr.

Gaffney did not rive tho desired Information. He was questioned for up-'(vitrd of an hour in the Grand Jury room. When ho came out he was not bo chipper as usual. He didn't say a word about the prospects of tho lioston Nationals when ho was asked to reiwat what he had told the Grand Jury. He Just said that he wouldn't say anything.

The members of I the District Attorney's Bluff were equally reticent, but It was apparent In their de- meiinor that Oaffney's testimony had ad-1 vanced their Investigation but slightly. It was learned yesterday that one of I the reasons why the Grand Jury Is averse to dropping tho aqueduct Investigation la that evidence has been obtained to show where some of the $41,250 paid by Patterson Co. went.
