IIDRDER AND SUICIDE. Crazed by Sickness, E. K. Landis Kills Ilia Wife and Himself. Philadelphia.

Jan. Rendered Insane by Illness, Ed-re rd K. a widely known expert chemist, to-day shot an-1 killed his wtU. Emma. and ended his own life with the same weapon.

The tragedy was enacted in the Landis home. No. 4,045 Wost Philadelphia, Mr. had been a sufferer from asthma for years. Two months ago he was compelled to Elvf up his laboratory work, and had been confined to his bed for last two weeks.

Today Mrs. Landis. with her sister, Mrs. II W. Potts, and Mrs.

Patton. a dressmaker, were in the room adjoining the apartment occupied by Mr. Laj'ciis, when the sick man called to his wife, complaining that the ringing of the floor l-ell annoyed him. She went to his room, and had barely stepped through the doorway, when Mr. raised himself In bed.

drew a revolver from under the pillow and shot his wife In the breast. She screamed and fled to the adjoining room, husband following. Mrs. Potip and Mrs. Patton attempted to disarm the frenzied man, but ho brushfd them aside, and, grasping Mrs.

by the hair, pulled her forcibly backward and shot her through the temple- h6 instantly. Mr. Landis hastened back to his own room, where he shot himself in the bead, ending his own life. Mr. Landis was fifty-three years old and his wife was about forty-five.

QUICK POLICE SERVICE. Thr Telephone System Established in Five PrecincU. Tha roliee telephone system to enable patrolmen on posts to communicate quickly with police stations is now in operation in five in Manhattan.

For many years Police Commissioners tried to get some signal system by which the patrolmen could be compelled to make regular reports showing that they were on their posts, and by which they could call asatataoce quickly in emergencies, but the cost of any such system was prohibitive. General Ureene found a way to extend the telephone eyetem by an arrangement with the telephone company for the use of extra wires at co small a cost that the beginning of the service has been paid for out of the savings in the running expenses of the department The First. Second. Fifth. Sixth and Eighth precincts whose stations are, respectively, in OM Slip.

anJ are now equipped with telephones 1 eet boxes connecting with the police ftattona. and arrangements are being made to equip three more downtown precincts. As the advr.i,T,':gf-s cf the become more apparent it is expected that the system will be extended to all the precincts in Manhattan, and later in the other boroughs. Commissioner McAdoo favors the extension of the system as quickly as possible. Wye the sake of economy, the street telephone boxes of the police system have been attached to the outer walls of buildings, permission of owners of buildings being obtained easily, because It is considered that to have a box on a building gives additional police protection.

Superintendent Brennan of the police telegraph bureau supervised the work in each precinct, taking the advice of captains as to the locations of the boxes to suit the divisions of the posts in the precinct. The boxes are locked, and the key carried by every pollceinan fits all the boxes. The telephone system 16 such that the moment a box is opened and the receiver is lifted a disk falls on the switchboard at the police station, showing the number of the box. It takes less than a minute for a policeman to open the box, talk with the sergeant at the station and close the box again in making the ordinary report that he is on his post. The patrolmen on poets are required to call up the staXion and report every hour.

To prevent confusion that might ensue if all the patrolmen should try to report at the same time, each poet has its own time for reporting. A man is detailed at each station to keep the records cf the hourly reports, aii'l record is sent to Police Headquarteiu once a day. The thus compels the patrolmen to etay on their posts. If a patrolman fails to report within fifteen minutes after the time his report is due, the sergeant is required to send a roundsmake an Investigation. The fifteen mintoemjr is allowed because a polU-pman might be on his way to the station with a prisoner at the time he should be reporting.

Each telephone box has a bell, which rings at a call from the station, and if a policeman In near enough to the box to hear the bell he answers the call; but the system might be ima by an arrangement to show a blue light in the box. us the bell cannot be heard far by a policeman on post. The signal system does not do away with the MKViOM of the roundsmen and sergeants on patrol, us those officers make their usual rounds and make reports from various boxes during their trips through the precinct.

K. MOOD, Traffic Manager GIVE CREDIT TO TRIBUXE. Anti-Shark Legislation Result of the Crusade. The. three measures Introduced on Thursday in the Assembly by Josiah T.

Newcomb. of the XXIIId Assembly District, as the result of the campaign conducted by The Tribune, together with the Legal Aid Society, against the instalment "i-harks" and allied corrupt city marshals, caused widespread satisfaction on the lower East Side yesterday. One of the measures provides that an order issued in a dispenses case for the defendant to appear in court can be served only by a city marshal. The only Qualification is in the case of Euch a precept being returnable in less than three days, when the marshal may delegate his In writing to tome person over eighteen years of age. In this contingency, however, the authorlzati-n must be with the clerk of court, together with an affidavit of service.

The second amendment provides that ro person not a city marshal shall represent himself to the public as such or perform the duties of a marshal, or exhibit words "Marshal's Bureau" or any words that may lead tho public to believe that he is a marshal. Further, no marshal is to be allowed to permit any person to perform any act In his name. "I consider the measures in their relation to the marshal are the direct outcome of the honest marshals agitation, stirred up by The exposure of dishonest marshals' practices." one of the attorneys for the Aid Society said yesterday. "It is a distinct father la The Tribune's cap." It Is understood that Assemblyman Newcomb's measure, if it becomes law, will deal a deathblow to the bureaus" as at present conducted in many cases. One of the which the measure will make Impossible is illustrated la the case of a city marshal who was dismissed by Mayor Low, but who continues to this day to conduct a "marshal's bureau" and represents himself as a marshal, the law being at present unable to reach him.

Among possible to the measure may bo that there la no marshal attached to the First or Second District Court in this city. Against this, however, it Is urged that there are marshals enough and to spare who live in these districts and could readily perform marshals' duties at these courts. One of the old abuses was the serving of dispossess notices by pinning a dispossess notice on a householder's wall in the householder's absence. A confederate, following a few minutes later, would tear down the notice, thus denying to the householder any knowledge that he had been served. It was reported yesterday that a vigorous attempt is to be made by disreputable venders of Instalment Jewelry to revive the body execu- A report was in circulation on the East Side yesterday that city marshal, whose name was given, had sold out in the course of the day to a friend for a consideration of THE XOORDLAXD SAFE, She 'Arrives at trie Strap Broken, Philadelphia.

Jnn. The Red Star Line steamship Noordlaiid. Liverpool for this port, arrived at her dock at VTashington-ave. tonight, five days overdue. The delay, aa reported by Captain Roberts, was due to the breaking of an eccentric strap on the The captain said that the accident occurred when the Noordland was about five hundred miles out from Queenstown.

fihe was experiencing heavy weather, and in the severe pitch- Ing the strap snapped. The big steamship was hove to for two days for repairs and later proceeded, making "headway repairs." There are 230 passengers on the vessel, and from statements made by passengers and officers of the vessel, there were some very anxious moments while she lay helpless In the turbulent sea, though at no time was she in real danger of foundering. According to cabin passengers, consternation reigned when it became known that the ship was unmanageable, though the officers did the best they could to allay all fear. While the vessel lay helpless from Saturday afternoon until 6 a. m.

on Monday. January 4. when she again got under way. she pitched si violently that everything movable was thrown about. Crockery and furniture were damaged, and those on board had difficulty In getting around.

The passengers say that the pitch of the ship was so great that ends of the rugs on the cabin floors were turned over. The steerage passengers were locked nnd prayers were offered by them for their deliverance. The greatest fear existed among those In the steerage, while the cabin passengers, though greatly frightened, were calmer. The captain says that while repairs were being heavy seas were shipped, one of which carried away about thirty feet of the after rail. The break In the eccentric strap will ho repaired immediately, and the Noordland will sail for Liverpool on Tuesday.

JANUARY 16. 1904. CREW SAVED FROM SEA. A WAIT DEATH FOR HOURS. Lumber Schooner Dismasted and.

Waterlogged Off Diamond Shoals. The crew of the schooner Rebecca A. Toulane. brought into port yesterday on the Havana, told a story of wreck in midocean, of ineffectual labor at the. pumi'S, and hours spent lashed to the deckhouse, waiting for their craft to fall to pieces.

They were finally rescued by the crew of tho British steamer Peareth. Only the ship instruments and papers were fayed. The Rebecca A. Toulane sailed from Jacksonville for New-London, December 30, loaded with lumber. Lnte In the afternoon of the second day they were caught In a howling norther.

Her heavj' deckload her unwieldly and slow to answer to her helm. Captain William H. Davis refused to go below before the gale aiej out, and, with one of his crew of Portuguese, stuck to the wheel all day and through the Tho wind grew worse. By the next day tho crow were nearly exhausted, and the weight of her cargo and the continuous pound- Ing of the seas opened the seams of the pnhooner. From before daybreak the men worked at the pumps, but by noon her decks were awash.

So great waa the force of the wind that, though she was practically under bare poles. shortly after midday her mlzzenmast by the board. Then the hammering of the seas loosened her deck load, and It was washed overboard. A little later the mainmast broke, and the schooner rolled helpless In the trough of the seas. At 7 o'clock on the night of the third day the crew climbed onto tho roof of the after deckhouse.

Captain Davis left the wheel for the first time since the beginning of the storm. With the men was a biij Newfoundland dog, who had made many voyages with Captain Davis. Lashed to the deckhouse, with the seas breaking over them every minute, the men and the dog lay until 4 o'clock the next morning. They were about thirty miles east-northeast of the Diamond Shoals lightship. After nine hours of danger they flighted the lights of the British steamer Peareth bearing down toward them.

Their situation was growing more perilous every moment, for the deck beams had begun to buckle, and It was only a question of moments before the schooner would go to pieces. To attract the attention of the steamer they made a flare by pouring kerosene on an old quilt and discharged a shot gun. Tho Peareth hove to and sent a boat through the Bens to the schooner and took the crew off In one load. As Captain Davis, the last to leave his vessel, was about to get off, his clog tried to follow him. It was Impossible to take him, as the boat was loaded almost to the gunwales, so Captain Davis used the last load In his gun to kill his old friend.

Only the utmost skill kept the small boat from capsizing a dozen times on her way to the Peareth. about a quarter of a mile away. As the boat crawled In under her counter to to leeward of her a giant comber picked it up and flung it against the steamer, smashing it into kindling wood. "When we struck the steamer," said Captain Davis yesterday, boat seemed to dissolve like smoke. In two there was not the least vestige of her, and we wars all in the water." Lines were flung to the men, and they were finally pot on board, where they were taken to Cardenas, landing there January They were sent from there to Havana by tho United States Consul, and from there to this port, on the Havana.

Captain Davis had his Instrument! and papers in a entail canvas bag, his entire baggage. These the only things I now have In the world." he an he left the pier, "and I think I'll keep pretty to them." GLOVER IX TOILS AGAIX.

TO BEAUTIFY THE CITY. Improvement Commission Suggested by Municipal Art Society.

The annual dinner of the, Municipal Arts Society was hold at the National Arts Club, No. 37 West last night. The banquet hall was decorated with flowers and hangings, and one hundred members of the society and their guests wen present. The Bubjtct discussed was "the desirability of the appointment by the city government of a commission to plan and report on municipal Improvements." Calvin Tornpklns. president of the society, presided, and acted as toastmnstcr.

Mr. Tompklns said that the municipal growth of the city In the last century had tended to outstrip capacity for municipal organization, and that the three most important functions of a city government were provision for order, service nnd growth. advocated the appointment of a city commission on plans which would control nil contemplated improvements. This would relieve tho city of responsibility, and develop nubile opinion which would discriminate between necessary and merely desiraWe Improvements. Ha suggested that a non-salaried commission of citizens should be aii)Oinu-d without delay to consider improvements and report to the Board of Estimate and Apportionment.

Mr. and Professor Ilamlln spoke on the necessity of the appointment of the commission, and declared it Van tho duty of the National Arts Society to provide for such a contingency. Professor Hamlln thought the committee should not receive pay. A THIRD BIRD WILL FILED. Leaves $30,000 to Governor's Military Secretar Residue to Testator's Brothers.

There were no curds on tha trains to tell their destinations, the platforms were only half hjjlite.d. and train announcers were to be found.

These men that they had, according to him, would ruin the finest engine that ever waa put on the Irons.

F. Stewart About Furs. A Card from C. C. Shayne.

My advertisement has frequently appeared in The Tribune, which I regard as one of the best advertising mediums, because it is read by the most intelligent of enlightened Americans, to whom I now appeal. Last year I had plans drawn for the purpose of erecting two new buildings, one of which I expected to have ready by October 15, but I was disappointed. I am now informed by Charles W. Cowen Cocontractors, that the new building will be ready for occupancy on February 1. In order to connect the new building at 131 West 41st st.

with No. 119, the plastering must be torn down, causing a lot of dust, which is injurious to the goods in the room at 120, which is tilled with valuable furs. I have no room for them on the main floor in the 4'2d st. buildings. Have decided to sell off the entire stock, if possible, during the next two weeks, and in order to effect sales have made a DEEP CUT in prices.

Men's fur lined overcoats; ladies' fur lined circulars and coats: Mink, Seal, Otter and Persian Lamb capes; sleigh robes and "Auto" coats will be sold at a discount of less than former prices. Enormous Reductions in Prices of Russian and Hudson Bay Sable muffs and neck pieces at 33 1-3 than former prices. This is the greatest cut I have ever made in this of goods.
