CLEAR FORTY-SECOND ST.
fUIBUKE'S FIGHT WON.
This Paper Warmly' Thanked for
Success of Vigorous Crusade.
The Tribune's fight for the merchants and
-tliers Inters in having Forty-second-st. re
rtored from a state of chaos, resembling a junk
l>e3 alley. to a decent thoroughfare was won
it night at 7 o'clock, when the rammers and
, ? in he employ of the Degnon Contracting:
rV-py'l' rammed down the last row of paving
K-orts In front of the West Presbyterian Church.
*i left the street from Flfth-ave. to Broadway
•rithar. unbroken surface.
True, the paving was hastily put down, and
' n | he city gets ready to relay it in a sub-
Tantial manner the temporary surface v. ill have
lobe taken up. That did not detract, however.
J m t i le joy f..!t by the merchants and pedes
triars as '•'■-■ saw the street last night as it
as rev* ago. before the sappers and miners,
«nd wreckers ami ■• and pipe men and
and men, and cement layers and plumbers be
tas ftelr strange doings with the respect
ing street. .
Of the tour years of toil and moil and clam
te-ir.g over debris the merchants said nothing
' last night as they purveyed the restoration.
They were In * ■ [-giving mood, and while gray
jutrs <JiJ not •uni lack once more, still there
was a youthful look to the men and women as
they tru'lg^i along the way and glanced ap
provingly at the —stored street.
For fear that the contractors will feel like
taking a holiday, It may as well be understood
by them that they are not yet discharged from
the work. There were numerous broken wheel
barrow and tool boxes along the street last
night. This tv.is particularly true of the north
ea.«t comer of Fifth-aye. and Forty-second st.,
where the:e is an entrance to the subway. A
beggarly old wheelbarrow without any wheel
has been lying in various positions on the walk
at "that point for two weeks at least. The Deg
non Contracting Company disowns It. They
picked up a too! box yesterday within handshak
ing distance of the old 'barrow and carted it off,
leaving the ol I semi-vehicle stranded and alone.
Derelict and discouraged, the wreck took up th*
m . a I k last night ad yielded never kn inch. Men
fell over it and women's gowns scraped the dust
from Ue-grirr.y sides, but it did not stir. If any
one breaks his bones or. it the city will have to
pay tht damage bill. There are a score of large,
strong policemen who pass and repass this ob
struction day by day. Their station is at a
corner two blocks away. They rap this old
wreck with their right sticks and scold pomp
ously a th Italian fruit cars in the street, but
they never are seized with the Idea that they
could pet this wreck out of the way.
The Tribune began Its attack on those re
sponsible for turning Forty-second-st. into a
scrap heap less than two weeks ago. As a re
sult cf the agiti'aion the street last night was
in nek tidy condition that traffic was unob
structed except in front of the Lincoln Bank.
Where the city still has work to do in connecting
a w. 'er main.
Michael J. Degnon, Street Cleaning Commis
sioner Woodbury and Water Commissioner Oak
ley on Tuesday told a Tribune reporter that
they would straighten thi rips up by Saturday
night or bjr Ifgfljflstt? xao«i i«» at the latest. Life
is a fr^il web. nnd the shortcomings of political
human nature are proverbial. It Is to the credit
of the men mentioned that they kept faith with
The Tribune and the public.
The Degnon company still has a noble work
to do in lower Klm-st. in clearing it from junk.
There are several Mocks where the subway work
la dor. and where the paving should be pushed
to rapid completion. The people are aroused
over the inconvenience they have suffered, and
from this time forward they will insist upon a
decent regard tor their rights along the sub
way.
Some of the merchants have had their cellars
Ho.-»d- I alonij rty-second-st. because of acci
dent's in the subway work. They will bring
tuits v. h- .■: they have cause of action. It
will be fears before the city has heard the last
of the Forty-s-c -onil-st. nightmare, but the BUb-
BSBajeßt chapters will be quieter, mere echoes
of the sieg<- :h a wmm not raise.l until last night.
The Canowing letter was received laat night:
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: On Saturday, May 28. conditions in this
nsia.liliiiilii.il irere at their worst, more particu
larly on the bkx k between Fifth and Sixth ayes.
The roadway nras unlit for traffic. a deep trench
was open fron. ,;\<"nue to avenue the north side
walk was heaped high with earth and paving
nones, and above these was i Bed garbage, de-
.lying under the hot sun.
The situation seemed dangerous. We com
riunicated to the Board of Health, were referred
l' the Street Cleaning Commissioner, whom we
were ur.aM* tn reach, and a letter to the
Mayor's offk» t,i .u-lit no better result.
Flnd:n? that - • thing had to be done, and at
snee, we telephoned to the newspapers, and The
Tribune of th<- .",<': »i described the situation In
rlain English. To-night the roadway has been
repay. : ai,d opened for traffic from Fourth-aye.
to Broadway, ih>- sidewalks have been cleared
p.nd the atr • la ready for ness.
It teesr.H proper th:it we should make due a?
te>ow)edgrn<Mir to The Tribune. on behalf of
those who use th« street to travel on or to work
la, for the signal service rendered by the aeries
of articles which h;i-..-- without question helped
to brinp about this gre.-it change. Faithfully.

BOUND AND GAGGED HER.
GOT IX BY FIRE ESCAPE.
Mrs. L. C. Phipps Was Helpless-
Attempt at Reconciliation.
It was not till last night that the sensational
manner In which Lawrence C. Phipps, of Pitts
burg, kidnapped his two children from his wife
in this city on Friday was learned. Then It be
came known that on Friday morning, when the
father was fleeing in his automobile with the
two little daughters, the mother lay In her room
In a hotel, where she had been bound and
gagged by the emissaries of h^r husband.
These men accomplished their purpose by
climbing a fire escape and entering her room by
the window. The children were in a room with
their two nurses. The motber occui-Uad. a-n. ad
joining room. On Friday morning, lr Is said,
the door between the rooms was locked on the
children's nitle, and the mother was unable to
see her children after the invaders entered. Thj
nurnes, it is believed, assisted in carrying out
the plot.
It is said that Mr. Phipps spent $00,000 In
petting possession of his children. He. succeed
ed In si>it<- <.f the fact that his wife kept herself
surrounded by private detectives and servants
whom she supposed she could trust.
The report was circulated yesterday that
Henry Phipps. of No. (! Bast Blghty-seventh
st., the original partner of Andrew Carnegie
and an uncle of Lawrence C. Phipps, was
seeking to reconcile the couple through his at
torney, Percy S. Dudley, of Moore, Wallace &
Dudley, of No. 20 Libert y-et. Mr. Phipps was
not at home last night, and Mrs. Phipps would
make no comment or. the report. A friend of
the family said, however, that the report was
comet uii-l that Henry Phipps had known of
the trouble in his nephew's family for some
months. He said that Mrs. Lawrence Phipps
visited her husband's uncle last winter unac
companied by her husband, although he was In
this city at the time. It was said then that
the visit, was to ask the uncle to effect a recon
ciliation.
J. C. Thompson was asked last evening if he
had been approached by Henry Phipps or his
attorney on the subject of reconciliation. He
hesitated for a moment. and th"n said, "I can
not answer that question."
At the Hotel Netherland it was denied that
Mrs. Phippa had been staying there. In spite
of the admission by the clerk the night before
that she was there. A man who Bald Is-- was a
clerk of J C. Thompson was waiting there last
night to meet Mr. Thompson, presumably for a
conference with Mrs. Phipps.

DISTILLERY BLOWS UP.
TEX KILLED; SIX HURT.
Blazing Flood of Whinkey Spreads
Destruction.
Peoria. 111., June 4. — An explosion which oc
curred in the eleven story warehouse of the
Corning Distillery, the second largest in the
world, this afternoon wrecked the building. The
ruins immediately took fire, and the flamee com
municated to three adjoining buildings, burning
them to the ground. Ten men -were buried be
neath the ruins and burned to death and six
others were seriously injured.
The loss on buildings and whiskey and pplrite
stored will approximate $1,000,000. The fire
spread to the stockyards district, where a dozen
1.-.rpe cattle barns, filled with cattle for market,
were burned.
The cause of the explosion cannot yet be
determined. The wildest excitement prevailed.
The plant v.ns surrounded by thousands of
persons, who, however, were unable to get close
to the structure on account of the intense heat.
The warehouse, containing in the neighbor
hood of thirty thousand barrels of whiskey, was
instantly a seething caldron, and it was seen
that no one inside the big structure could es
cape. The warehouse in crushing the smaller
structure nearby set that on fire, and the whis
key from the bursting barrels flooded every
thing in that section. Large streams ran down
grade toward the river, nafi In a short time
there was a foot of blazing^rtiiskey in the cattle
pens east of the warehouse, where thirty-two
hundred steers were chained fast. Their distress
lasted only a few moments, for they were poon
roasted to death or suffocated.
The firemen got near the flre with difficulty,
and the water had little or no effect. A high
wind was blowing and fanning the flames in the
directions of the Monarch Distillery, and for a
time it was feared that the fire would sweep
along the entire river bank, but the firemen suc
ceeded in preventing the further spread of the
flames.

Kai a City. June 4. - Further rains have
fallen in Southern Kansas in the last twelve
hours, and the flood conditions in the Valley of
the Neosho imd Cot ton wood rivers continue to
grow worse. The streams are hlgh'-r than at
any time in twenty years, not excepting th"

BOOKMAKER SHOT IN CAB.
SUICIDE, COMPAXIOX SAYS
Actress Held "on Suspicion" — Wife
Waiting at Pier.
Frank T. Young, bettor known in racing cir
cles as Caesar Young, a bookmaker and owner
of race horses, and at one time an amateur
athlete of national renown, w.is fatally shot yes
terday in a hansom cab in West Broadway, near
Franklin-st. Miss Nan Patterson, an actress.
known on the stage as Nan Randolph, who was
with him, said that he committed suicide. Al
thouerh no formal accusation was made against
her, she was committed without bail to the
Tombs, "on suspicion."
Young' was on his way to meet his wife at
the American Line pier, where they were to
take the steamship Germanic So* Europe. Mr.
and Mrs. Young, who had been staying at the
Hotel Wolcott, spent Friday night at the home
of h Mend, William Luce, No. 2"JT West One
hundred-and-fortieth-st.
, The cab was driven by Frederick Michaels, of
No. ".r.l West Fiftieth-st.. who made the follow
ing statement:
At S o'clock this morning the man ond woman.
perfectly sober, came to ia>j stables and hired me.
Thej bad me drive them to stnox'a hat store,
Twenty-thlrd-st. and Broadway, a:ul from there
we drove to West Broadway and PVw bsi at .
wfure we had a drink. Then 1 was told tuLilrive
to the American Line pier. Before I Kot tn»e. I
heard a sh.>t and pulled up. I did noi hear any
quarrel cluriiijy ur.y part of the drive. I heard tho
woman tell the policeman that the man said to her.
before the shoottnc. that h<> was Koint; away for
some time, and might see her aguin or might not
se« her. "You may not see ma acaln for two
months; you may never see me again," she said
Yount; told her. Then, she said, the shot was fired.
I also heard the woman tell the policeman that
she and the dead man had been lovers for three
years, and th*.t it had been a source of jealousy to
Mrs. Young.
Patrolman Junior, who was called by the cab
driver when he heard the shot, said:
"When I stepped to the platform of the cab I saw
only the woman Inside, Looking again, I saw the
man lying across her !.ip. I did net see any pistol.
It was not in hla hand. Later I found it in his
right hand coat pocket.
Junior ordered Michaels to go with all speed
to th* Hudson Street Hospital. Before the
wounded man could be laid on the operating
table he died, without recovering consciousness.
Miss I'atterson became hysterical in the hos
pital, and treatment was necessary- before she
could be taken to the Leonard-?t. Btation. While
raptaln Sweeney was talking to her. J. G.
MUlln, Young's partner in bookmaklng, entered
and cursed the woman.
"<"a>s;tr," he declared, "was not a man who
would kill himself. He never carried a gun un
der any circumstances."
Mlllln rushed toward Miss Patterson, cursing
hor. The detecti\><« held him until she passed
Into the street with Captain Sweeney. As she
went out Millin shouted:
"If 1 had a gun I'd kill you. you !
lleai time, Mrs. Toting and her friends were
awaiting Toung*a arrival :;t the pier. A re
porter T "ll Mr. Luce of the tragedy, and a few
momenta later UlUln lold the others. Mrs.
foung waa told that h*r husband ha. l been d->
layed uptown, and she was taken away by
friends.
MUltn said he bad been with his partner until
1 ..vi<. k tint morning, and that Young was in
excellent aplr^tr, and looked forward with pleas
ure t«> hi* trip abroad. The trip u> Europe had
been planned to breasi off Young's association
with sftsa Patterson.
AVhlle Miss Patterson wa« in Coroner Brotaara
office, Mil'.ln tried to force hid uay in. shouting.
"She's a murders**!*'
To Coroner Brown, the woman Mid she was a
niece of Charles Pat! frson, cashier of the Fourth
National Hank, and that she waa living at the
St. Paul Hotel. Klxtleth-.<-t. and Columbus-aye..
with her sister and the latter* husband, J.
Morgan Smith, a nephew of J. I*. Morgan. She
first met Toung In California, she said, when
he waa "making l"ok" there. Later, she met
hir>i In Chicago, and she came to New-Tora;
with him five weeks ago. He had been de
spondent, she said, but had no money troubles.
He had telephoned to her at 7.".i> a. m. yester
day, asking her to meet him at Fifty-nlnth-sL
iind ESlghth-ave. She met him and th'-y went
to a saloon, when- Young drank a Rl isi "f
whisky; to Knox'a hat store, where he bought a
be . and to a saloon at West Broadway and
Bleeckor, where Toung took another drink. Bbc
then repeated what the cabman heard her tell
the policeman. Mr. Millin made many eh
against her. The or"n.>r summed them up by
saying, "11" say.-; only what he thinks/
It w;i.s said that letters had been found ad
dressed to Young of a threatening nature, but
nobody could tell where they were or who had
them.
1 >r. O*Hanton performed sr autopsy on the
body of Toung, and found that the bullet bad
entered the left breast, had passed through the
left luiilj and the spinal column, and, glancing
upward, had lodged In the muscles of the left
shoulder. There was a bullet hole and powder
marks in the shoulder of thn coal aiul shirt. It
v. i ascertained thai Toung was sitting on the
right side of the cab, the woman being <»n his
left, when the shot wns lir'-d.
\t the end of the autopsy Coroner Brown held
a preliminary hearing at his office. Assistant
District Attorneys Appleton and Gana decided
that If th* £:..<»(><> ball which had been fixed by
the coroner should b* offered they would take
steps U> have the amount raised, so that Miss
Patterson would not !»■ released. She had as
counsel "Abe" Levy and Philip Waldheimer.
Mrs. Morgan Smith and Mr. Smith sat in the
rear of tin- courtroom.
The coroner reconsidered his determination to
commit the woman to the House of Detention
in default of $5,000 bail. He said he would send
her to the Tombs without bail. He added that
there was no formal accusation against her.
Mr. Levy contended that the circumstances did
not warrant such summary procedure, but the
Coroner stuck to his decision. He said he would
rK'ld the Inquest on Wednesday.
YOUNG'S CAREER ON TRACK AND TURF.
Young was not only well known as a book

SHIPS WORRY FRANCE.
THE PERDICAMIS CASE.
Would Like Fezcer American Can
non at Tangier.
Paris. June 4.— Although no official intima
tion on the subject has been given, it is under
stood that France would view favorably the
withdraw ll of some of the American warships
now at Tangier. The presence of the American
ships there has had the effect of attracting ships
of other nationalities, including Italian and Brit
ish. -According to the French view, if a local
agitation occurred American, Italian and Brit
ish ships might land forces to preserve order,
and it is pointed out that this would involve
serious responsibilities upon the United States,
and would also have the effect of discrediting
France's paramount Influence in Morocco.
The American officials Bay that the United
warships will be promptly withdrawn, if
France undertakes the entire burden of securing
the release of lon Perdicaris. Thus far, how
ever. France, while offering to do everything
possible, has no desire to assume the entire
1 burden of settling the incident. The French offi
cials say they would gladly relieve the United
States government of the embarrassment of the
Moroccan affair, but they do not wish to do so
by placing themselves in a similar embarrass
ment.
MORE GUNS GATHERING.
Italian Warship Joins American Fleet at
Tangier.
Washington, June 4.— Admiral Chadwick to
day cabled to the Navy Department that the
presence of the American fleet at Tangier has
hud a salutary influence, but that the com
munity is in a state of great religious excite
ment. The cable dispatch also reported that the
Marietta, which was sent to Gibraltar for stores,
has rejoined the fleet at Tangier; that an Italian
man-of-war had arrived, and that an English
warship was expected to arrive at the Morocco
port.
Admiral Chadwick's cable dispatch ts under
stood to be in reply to certain criticisms, mainly
from British sources, on the wisdom of sending
American warships to Morocco at this juncture.
The British view is that the release of Mr. Per
dicaris and Mr. Varley can be more safely ob
tained by refrai.iing from adding to the anti
foreign feeling of the Moors. Ensland therefore
planned to send to Morocco waters nothing more
formidable in a naval way than a small dispatch
boat, the Surprise, and to rely chiefly on the
efforts of the British Minister Resi.ier.t.
The ieligious excitement mentioned as pre
vailing among the Moors is believed here to be
incident primarily to one of the annual Ma
hometan pilgrimages occurring at this season.
It is also believed here, however, that the pres
ence of the seven American warships at Tangier,
with a promise of reinforcement if necessary by
the big battleship squadron, ts regarded as
threatening- Moorish integrity and the Mahom
etan religion, and has contributed to the excite
ment.
