MHH'HY BRINGS SMILES.
JOBS FOR TWO FAITHFUL.
T. R. Farrell Succeeds Byrne and
./, A. Bill Hasenflug.
Charles F. Murphy, sailing: maEter of the Tam
many Hall lugger, which, according to the Hon.
Patrick H«nry McCarren, Is a pirate outfit,
boldly IrtasX the Jolly roger, yesterday caused
two more good and true arti-McCarren men of
Brooklyn to rejoice by cu using; them to be Rp
pototod to good Jobs. Tsisse are the tacky men:
Thomas R. Farrell to be Deputy Water Com
missioner. Salary, $4.50.
Joiieph A. Bill to he Pepirty Dock Commis
sioner. Salary, $4,r>Qo.
Mr. Farrell Rets the place made vacant by th 3
removal three weeks ago of Thomas F. Byrne,
who. until deposed recently through James
Shevlin and Thomas EL Farroll. was executive
member from Shevlln's district. The appoint
ment Is Intended to keep both Farrell and Shev
lin in line for Murphy at the August primaries.
Ex-Alderman Joseph A. Bill succeeds Conrad
Haeenflusr, McCarrcn leader of the XlXth Dis
trict.
Yesterday was the day of the Sunday school
anniversary parade In Brooklyn. All the
Juvenile* and many of the seniors were expected
to be merry and blithe yesterday. The appoint
ment of Farrell and Btß was meant as a jog to
Senator McOarren's memory that Democratic
politics In Kings Juft at present Is not of the
Sunday school character. Down at McCarren
headquarters the Brooklyn odds-on statesman
pulled his belt a ho!e tiphter, grimly shut his
Jaws more rlosely together and hummed a new
ditty, one verse of which was:
Oh never mir.d. "i"on" Hasenflug.
And never mind. "Tom" Byrne;
Next fall is only four months off.
And then 'twill be our turn.
Messrs. Byrne and Ha*enflug were dropped
from the payroll several weeks ago. They are
getting: over their paTned surprise.
There was a story In Brooklyn yesterday that
the appointment of Farrell was not made for
the purpose of getting Shevlin to return to
active participation in the anti-McCarren move
ment, but was the price paid to him to get out.
Far from being anxious to have Shevlin run
the movement In Brooklyn, Murphy, the leader
of Tammany Ha] l, "viewed with alarm," ' it was
said, the manner in which Shevlin was pushing
bis way to the front. He did not like the Inter
view Riven out by Shevlin. In which the latter
declared that Murphy had assured him he would
work for Parker at the St. Louis convention,
and, furthermore, that the Tammany leader
had promised him (Shevlin) that he would not
Interfere with the autonomy of Brooklyn.
.When Shevlin flret urged Farrell for Deputy
Water Commissioner, he was told, the story
went, that he could not have his wish. Finally,
when he became too insistent, he was Informed
that he was hurtingr the movement, and that, if
he would promise to withdraw to the back
ground, he would be rewarded by the appoint
ment of Farrell. If he should Insist on trying
to run things he would get neither the Farrell
appointment nor any other.
OTHER THINGS IN STORE.
Mr. Murphy has other things in store for Mr.
McCarren. These coming things are less de
sirable than government bonds and corner lots.
It is expected that red and swollen eyes will
be next observable in the Brooklyn Law De
partment, now presided over by Colonel Jam-'B
D. Bell. Corporation Counsel Delany has dis
covered "glaring shortcomings" In the conduct
of the Brooklyn Law Department under the
direction of Colonel Bell. Ihe shortcomings
consist of Colonel Bell's absolute lack of dispo
sition to climb on to the Murphy tiand wagon
with ail his political goods and chattels. Mr.
Ddanjr thinks that an official afflicted with such
alarming- political strabismus is out of place
holding a $I<M*XJ Tammany Job. Then, too,
there is Gottfried Westeinacher. Deputy Bridge
Commissioner, who weighs 340 pounds and heads
ii German voting phalanx In the XlXth Dis
trict. Gottfried's is another desperate case. He
draws fSyOOOL He was invited by Commissioner
B*»«t to nee the light.
"If I'm for McGarren, how can I bet on dot
Tammany entry?'" asked Gottfried. It is tol
erably certain that Gottfried will be "removed
for the good of the political service," and to
obviate the prospective necessity of buying a
larser office chair Commissioner Best comes
from "Dan" Mdlahon's district, and in the dis
charge of his official duty views with alarm the
approaching necessity of replacing office chairs
that Gottfried "sits to pieces."
Senator McCarren says it will all help the
1 arker boom. Murphy says nothing.
COLER MAKES A STATEMENT.
In a somewhat extended statement given out
yesterday by ex-Controller Coler he alleges that
the differences between Murphy and McCarren
did not arise over the Parker question, but over
the desire of ex-Deputy Police Commissioner
Hasjrerty, McCsirren'e appointee, to enforce a
policy In Brooklyn different from the one out
lined by Mayor McClHlan and Commissioner
McAdoo In Manhattan. The fight. Coler de
clares, is one "to sustain McClellan in his efforts
to give the city a clean and progressive gov
ernment." Coler declares that Senator McCar
ren's talk of autonomy is nonsense, and adds:
A party cannot divide by boroughs. It Is folly
to attempt to unite the party organization of one
borough with counties outside th* city that fatten
i£ ♦ ,, e W " T ? rk and ""1 always against anything
that the city wants. It would be poor policy to
destroy the political unity and autonomy of the
city in an attempt to benefit one borough at the
expense of the others, If that plan is followed trie
City will never gain anything tram the other coun
ties of the State.
I am for home rule lust as strongly as Senator
McCarren, but such homo rule as the boroughs are
«ut!U«4 to And can obtain must come through the
offices of the borough pi-tridents. The police fire
and other great departments mui«t be administer^
, If "i bo /° ll ' 1 . and the policy of the adminis
tration should be carried out alike in all boroughs
Mayor McClellan is responsible for the administra
tion and he should be loyally sustained la his
SstttftJ to give the city good government.
Mr. Coler declares that he Is as good a friend
of Judge Parker as anybody in the State, and

OPENING OF STATE CAMP.
Twenty-third Regiment Repeats
Experience of 28 Years Ago.
Peekskill State Camp. June 4 (Special).—Twenty
three years ago the 23d Regiment formally opened
the new State Camp at Peeksklll. To-day, al
though other troops were expected at .in earlier
hour, it hud the 'honor of being first upon the
grounds and first to open the ramp's twenty-third
season. In that first season, now so long ago that
It is doubtful if many are in the regiment, who
were In it then, it rained steadily for a week and
the discomforts of a first experience were magnified
by the gloominess of the weather. It was said at
State headquarters In "Quality Row" this after
noon that the barometer was falling, but the regi
ments of the State have become better campaigners
since those earlier years of lield service, and bad
weather la disappointing more because It interferes
with practical work than because parades and cere
monies are ruined by it.
The opening of rump was simple. The regiment
arrived at Roa Hook In two sections about 1
o'clock. Its baggage was unloaded, and sent up to
camp in advance, and at 2 o'clock the regiment
marched In and formed line on the old parade
ground. As the head of the regimental column
reached th«! brow of the bill, a new American flag.
10 by 30 feet was run up the new steel flagstaff
at the head of the stairs leading to the ferry, by
General Joseph G. Story, assistant adjutant gen
eral, and that was all the evidence the surround
ing country had of the opening of camp, except
the echoes of the 23d Regiment Band, under the
leadership of Thomas P. Shannon. There was no
21-gun salute, only a quiet taking of possession of
the 4 road green plateau that is always beautlfai
In fair weather or foul, and to-morrow a post flag,
10 by 20 feet, will take the place of the larger bunt
ing raised to-day. *
Tho infantry camp was at once established on
the right of the ground that has usually been te
s*rv«d for the tents, and Buzzaroth stoves were
erected and started for the evening meal, the rei
ment bavins; been provided with luncheon, or travel
rations, on the train. The ground to the left was
held for the cavalry, and there was considerable
questioning aa to where the two up-State troops,
i-». Of Syracuse, and B, of Albany, were. They
should have arrived before the regiment. Although
not generally known in the rank and tile of the in
fantry, they were over at Peeksklll, unloading their
horses and equipment. They rode into camp about
<:Ji) o'clock. Troop B. of Albany. Captain Hairy
S. Richmond, fifty-six strong, Kadlng the way, fol
lowed by Troop D, seventy-one men, of Syracuse,
under Captain Barton Cruikehank. Tha latter
troop was riding bareback. The men were only
mustered into the service April 25. and much of
their equipment was Shipped to camp, instead of
to Syracuse, and was awaiting them here.
There Is a larger staff than usual in camp this
summer. In fact, there are three staffs here—
eral Roe's, Adjutant General Henry's and a bri
gade staff, consisting of the staff officers of the
brigade to which the regiments occupying' camp
belong. This week and next week it Is the Second
Brigade staff. Brevet Brigadier General John G.
Eddy, 47th Regiment, senior colonel of the brigade,
commanding in the absence Of Brigadier General
James McL*er. His headquarters are on Battery
Bluff, and the officers of General McLeer's staff
with him are Colonel Edward B. Britten, assistant
adjutant ReneraJ; Major Krnestus lJulick, commis
sary; Major Richard H. Lalmbeer, jr., quartermas
ter; Major Robert <}. Moran, inspector; Captain S.
S. Xostrand, aide-de-camp, and Captain Frederick
H. Dennington, assistant inspector of small arms
practice and ordnance officer, acting aide-de-camp.
Behind Genera! Eddy's headquarters are the head
quarters of Adjutant General Nelson H. Henry
and staff. Colonel Chaunoejr P. Williams, paymas
su-r. and Lieutenant li. T. Howard, assistant dis
bursing officer.
At "Quality Row" are Major General Charles F.

Jr., quartermaster; Major Robert K. Prentlas, Ma

aide-de-camps.
General Roe. and staff are here to supervise, and
are not in command of camp. That devolves on
tho brigade commander, who prescribes the charac
ter of tho work his regiments are to do during
their week's tour. That for the 23d contemplates

SHOOTING CASE A PUZZLE.
Japanese Woman, Not Expected to Recover,
Tells Contradictory Stories.
Detective Sergeant Alexnnder Chandler, Jr.. of
the West Thirtleth-st. station, yesterday was' ar
raigned before Magistrate Pool, on a formal com
plaint, made, by Detective John W. England, of the
West Porty-seventh-st. station, of felonious assault
on his housekeeper, the Japanese woman, who was
ehot on Friday, Chandler reported by herself, with
suicidal Intent. Inspector Walsh told Magistrate
Pool that tbe woman was a prisoner in Roosevelt
Hospital on the charge of attempted suicide.
In reply to the magistrate's comment that lt was
difficult to reconcile the two charges, when only
one person could have been guilty. Inspector Walsh
said the circumstances w«re peculiar, and that the
police did not want to make any mistake; that the
Tara woman at first sail she had shot herself and
then said some one else shot her. He would not
Indicate who this person was.
"Is this charge of attempted suicide against the
woman made to protect the sergeant," asked tho
magistrate.
Inspector Walsh assured him such was not th»
case.
Chandler was paroled in the custody of Captain
Cottrell until June 10.
Inspector Walsh said the hospital officials be
lieved the woman could not recover. Coroner
GolUenkranz took an ante-mortem statement from
her.
NOT TO SEARCH FOR THE CONEMAUGH.
Secretary Moody Thinks It Useless for Navy
to Hunt for Lost Ship.
(FROM THE TRIBUNE BUREAU. 1
Washington, June 4.— Secretary Moody pent a
message to-day to A. R. Smith, superintendent of
the New- York Maritime Exchange, informing him
that the Navy Department has no ship available on
the Pacific Coast to send in quest of the lost steam
ship Conemaugh. There are no naval vessels nearer
than San Francisco to the point where The missing
ship was last reported. This place was Coronel,
Chili, and the da*e was February 28. \
As lt ia manifestly useless to 6tart a vessel on a
6.000-mlle trip to look for a lost ship in the Pa
cific, which has not been heard from for mort
than three months, the department will not make
any move in the matter unless more definite in
formation is obtained. The lost ship may have
been blown out of her course any time after b?av

DEPOSITIQN OF NEGRESS
ORDER TACKED OS DOOR.
Warrant to Compel Her to Support
Daughter Denied.
Following a long conference last night at the
Hotel Orc-niblp. Assistant District Attorneys Lord
and Kernochan went to the house of Hannah
Ellas, the negress, who is charged with black
mail, with her lawyer, Washington Brauns. A
stenographer accompanied them. They stayed
there until midnight.
A statement was obtained from Mrs. Ellas, so
much th<-y would say when they went away. Fur
ther information was withheld, in accordance with
an agreement among them. This statement from
the woman will be submitted to the District At
torney to-morrow. On the information contained
therein, with information obtained from the wit
nesses who will be examined to-day, will be based
any action by the grand Jury.
The service of the summons and complaint In the
suit brought against Mrs. Ellas by John It. Platt
was accomplished by substitution yesterday after
noon, when a clerk for Warren, Warren & O'Beirne
tacked a oopy of the papers to the doors at the
Central Park West house. Deputy sheriffs were
waiting all night, however, for a chance, to serve
an injunction restraining the Ellas woman from
using any money she may happen to have until
she shows she didn't obtain it from Platt.
As the case stands now, the negress has twenty
days in which to tile an answer to tho complaint.
She is subject to arrest, however, if she leavt-s tha
house. This her lawyer pays she will not do. She
has not, and never has had. he reiterates, any In
tention of leaving town. Sho is willing to meet the
suit, as she is willing to explain anything to the
District Attorney, but she objects to having her
money tied up in the summary fashion adopted.
Mr. Lord had a conversation with Lyman E. War
ren, of John R. Platfg counsel, over the telephone,
in the morning. This evening at 6 o'clock taers
wlll^s a conference at Mr. Warren's house. No.
l,73<^Eroadway, by Messrs. Lord. Kernochan and
Warren. It is expected that Mr. Platt will be
present, or that there will be a complete statement
from him.
Magistrate Pool n.ade this statement yesterday
after court adjourned:
"I was EBked by a lawyer whom I do not know
to grant him a warrant for the arrest of Mrs.
Hannah Kllas on the ground that she had failed to
support her child. I told the lawyer that I could
not grant any such warrant; that If the child bad
been abandoned and Deeded support, it was the
father fur whom the warrant should be grant
and not the mother. The lawyer wanted the war
rant only for Mrs. Ellas."
A similar application was made to a magistrate
liis't fall when the Klias woman came before the
public, and it was refused lor the same reasons.
Ella. Hudson, the daughter of Mr*. Kllas. waited
in the Courthouse* corridor while the application
was made yesterday for the warrant. She was ac
companied by her roster parents
Mr. Warren got from Justice Dugro yesterday an
order for the service of the .summons and com
plaint by substitution. He also got an order modi
fying the original injunction order secured several
days ago, so as to permit Its service on Sunday,
and secured an extension of time for the return on
the injunction order of one week.
Washington Krauns waited at his office at No. 99
Nassni'.ut. till yesterday afternoon, expecting that
the lawyers for Mr. Platt would nerve htm with the
substitute service, but he was disappointed. When
he learned that the service of the papers had been
made he closed his office and hurried to Mrs.
Kllas's home, at No. 230 Central Park West, after
making the Following statement:
"Now that they have nulled the papers on the
door, that takes the case out Of my hands, as far
as th« acceptance of service is concerned. What
thf» papers nailed on the door contain I am at a
loss to know, as I was not served with them by the.
opposing attorneys.
"What 1 shall advise Mr*. las to do I am not
now ready to say, in the absence of the new com
plaints and the new orders granted by the court
to-day."
Two patrolmen kept peopl« moving yesterday in
front of the negress » house. Kato, th» Japanese
servant, said that Mrs. liiias was still til In bed
and would see no one.

He soon showed his worth, and he won almost
constantly the long distance and cross country
races that he was entered in. He soon became
amateur champion, defeating such athletes as
Un Meyers, A. B. George and Harry Fred
ericks. When the Manhattan Athletic Club

ELEPHANT IX THE OCEAN.
Surprises Men Out Fishing Near
New-Dorp — Captured.
An elephant that swam ashore at New-Dorp,
Btaten Island, yesterday morning, was taken
Into custody there and held at 'he headquarters
of the mounted police as a vagrant. The animal,
it is supposed, escaped from Coney Island.
Frank Kretnler, of 121 Ogderi-aY*^ Jersey
City, and a friend went to New-Dorp r.n Friday
evening on a fishing expedition. They Btarted
out at 4 a. m. In a rowboat, and anchored üb.ut
three-quarters of a mile -jff New-Dorp. The
fog was thick, and nothing could be t.een of
their surroundings. They had been fishing about
an hour, when they heard a peculiar noise, as
if something was approaching their boat. They
feared at first that they would be run down by
Botne vessel. They shouted, l>ut received no
response. Then they discovered through the
fog a huge form coming toward 'he boat. It
looked lik.- a whale, and Kressler and his com
panion thought it would be a good I lan to get
away fnwu there as soon as DOSSible. They
were raising the anchor, and had nearly got it
into the boat, when the mysterious object came
near enough for them to see, to thtlr amaze
ment, that it was an elephant.
The hUgfl Least lit for the boat with his
trunk and Kressler and his friend dodged.
Itressler then seUed an oar and hit the beast
a couple of raps which caused him to snort and
back away. By tins time the other man had g>>t
the anchor into the bunt, and both men took
the oars and began to pull viKorously for Ui«j
shore. The elephant foMowed, and kepi in the
wake of the boat until tic landing was reached.
As soon as they got on land Kressler and hla
friend hunted up three or four fishermen, who
got ;i rope and prepared to make the elephant
a captive. The animal, on reaching the land
!. id scrambled ashore, and was standing quietly
on the beach when the men came up with tha
rope, without any difficulty they got a loon
around the elephant. They then led him to the
station of the mounted police squad. There
the elephant was securely chained.
The police say the elephant Is probably one of
the three that were reported t<> have escaped
from buna Park, Coney island, on Thursday.
Two of them, it was said, were captured soon
after their escape, but the third was silll missing
Friday night.

CUTS OFF VACATIONS.
Chicago Company Denies That It Is Taking
Russell Sage's Advice.
[MY lUIOUn to THE tribune. 1
Chicago, June 4. — Russell Bag»'3 anti-vacation
theory has been put Into practice by ! the Gregory
Electric Company, of this city, though the general
manager, Mr. Kuehnsted, denies that the finan
cier's advice bus anything to do with the com
pany's decision. He says:
In the past our office has been kept in a^stato of
turmoil during the Bummer, owing to theTtbsence
of two or more men on vacation. So we have de
cided to give the men Saturday afternoons off In
stead of the usual two weeks' vacation. This will
give the men more days than they would have
under the vacation . ! .:i.
HIGHER UP STORY DISCREDITED.
Yesterday's sensational story that Emil Sonner,
who was sentenced for bartering fire and police
promotions, had declared he wan ready to disclose
the names of trusted public officials with whom he
divided more than J150.000 was discredited at the
District Attorney's office. It was announced on
Friday In Mr. Jerome's office, so the story ran th-it
Sonner would be brought from his cell an Black.

whose trial would begin, according to the story on
Tuesday. "
"The trial will not begin on Tuesdny," John W
Hurt, one of Mr. Jerome's deputy assistants who
Is now handling the case, told a Tribune reporter
lant night, "for the pleading begins on Wednesday
and it will naturally be some weeks before TtSetrtal
comes off. Ho far as I know, no such announce!.
ment was made by the Dintrlct Attorneys office
and It is doubtful whether Sonner -will ever be
present at the trial."
Regarding Duke's affidavit. In which it Is il
lxged. the men higher 111) are three :n number
and all well known in public life, those who talked
with the District Attorney received the irnpressi,, 1
that Mr. Jerome was skeptical of the very ex

SIX CENTS NOT RIGHT, SAYS COURT.
The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court,

Company in favor of Stein Brothers, at No. JSB

pointed to assess tlie damage done by the elevated
structure
This is in lint- with the contention of counsel for
the Steins, that except under most peculiar cir
cumstances commissioners would not be jssjtUed
in awarding merely nominal damages. The effect
of the decision will be far reaching, as it will apply
to the other claims for damages on the part of
property owners along the elevated lines In Brook
lyn The court in setting aside the six cents Judg

If You Have a Piano Which You
Cannot Use Why Not Exchange
It for One You CAN Use?
This is 'what hundreds of others are noiv doing.
The particular advantage of the Pianola Piano is that it is a complete union ot the two
instruments — th*"inech;ini.»in of the Pianola being contained within the ease of an upright
piano.
There is nothing to move up in front d the key-board.
The c«hanp« from hand-playing to Pianola playinsr takes no longer than it rfr-uirvd to
slide back a panel in the front of the ease and insert a perforated roll of music. Thus, the
Pianola Piano is instantly available for either method of playing. In the li^ht of this latest
and most important of all improvements in the progressive development of the piano-forte*
all other pianos scam incomplete. Therefore this new cre.ition has been aptly described as
THE FIRST COMPLETE PIANO
In purchasing the Pianola Piano, one buys first of all a perfect piano. No feature belong
ing to the. hitherto accepted type of piano has been sacrificed. When played by hand, its
notion will be found delicate and responsive; its tone possesses the rich, singing quality
which appeals to the trained ear; its outward appearance is handsome -and refined— in keep
ing with the latest ideas in cases.
But, «'» addition, its value is multiplied by all the magnificent possibilities of the Pianola
with the Metrostyle. As this mechanism occupies the hitherto unused space within the piano
forte, the complete instrument takes no more room than the ordinary upright, and its artistic
lines are in no detail interfered with. *
Furthermore, being built especially with the fact in mind that the addition of the Pianola
will result in the instrument heinsr used very much more than ordinarily, every part of the
Pianola Piano has been made exceptionally strong and durable. It in the" on« piano that it it
certain will not stand idle, no matter into whose home it may go.
