The Metropolitan Life Insurance Com pany has withdrawn its application to the State Commissioner of Health and the local health officer of the town of Somers, in Westchester County, for permission to build a sanatorium for the treatment of its tu bercular employes, in deference to the sen timent expressed by the people of the city of New York in opposition to the construc tion of such a sanatorium within the water shed of New York City. The company takes the position that ■while there can be no objection to the building of the sanatorium within the water shed based on th» theory of pollution of the city water supply, it recognizes a sen timental objection on the part of many citi zens to its erection, and it prefers t<~> .ro elsewhere and avoid public criticism. Dr. Ernst J. Lederle. with whom the. rep resentatives of the Metropolitan have been in frequent consultation, has taken the yv. sition that there can be no scientific objec tion to th» building of the sanatorium on the proposed Bite. The additional responsibility that would be placed upon the Department of Water Supply. Gas and Electricity bjr way of fre quent inspection of the sanatorium to spc tliat the sewage was properly disposed of has also been considered, and it Is for those reasons that the company has decided to fo»ego Its desire to build Its hospital In Westchester County.

NURSES IN CONVENTION Their Heavy Top Hamper Didn't Interfere with Speeches. Trained nurses off duty are just like other girls. Most of the five hundred dele gates to the annual convention of the Na tional Nurses' Associated Al'Jmna drifted into M mill Insulin Hall yesterday wearing enormous hats. Both doors had to be opened fen admit them. When Miss Jane M. Pindell, the mistress of ceremonies, saw the hate, shr> stood agli«st. However, as she la su perintendent of the training school for turses in Metropolitan Hospital, on Blaok well's Island, she. is a woman ready for any emergency, and she rose to ln^et the crisis yesterday. ■ "You certainly will have to take them off," she .said firmly. "Nobody In the rear of the hall can sec a thing." ft The delegates, who represented fifteen thousand graduate nurses of the country, filed out and piled the hats carefully in an anteroom, only those wearing small hats and turbans keeping them on. Hiss Jane A. Deland, president of the nurses' alumna? and superintendent of the army nurses* corps in Washington, presid ed. She said she estimated the graduate nurses in the United States at between fift^ thousand and seventy-five thousand. "I be lieve the time will come," she said, "when we will join In the preventive work for checking disease. We have been too ready to accept conditions as w^ found them. We have even greater opportunities for obser vation than the physician, for we are with the patient constantly."" When Dr. Marion A. Mead, registrar of the H^nnepin County Graduate Nurses' As sociation, of Minneapolis, explained the ad vantage of a. central registering exchange for nurses, one of the delegates asked her what "No con." — — "Obt.," "O. C." and "3 p. m." meant on the chart. "It means," she answered, "that some nurses are so independent that they will not take contagion cases, tuberculosis cases, calls out of the city or calls after 3 p. in." FIREMAN TAKEN FROM MAYOR Commissioner Transfers Dooley Back to Regular Duty. Foreman Joseph J. Dooley. of the Fire Depart m <=nt, who for nearly two years was Ftat'oned at the .City Hall as a part of the staff of the Mayor, ■Ras transferred back to regular duty in the department yesterday.

DEVICE USED SINCE 1903 Schwerdtfeger Swears That Two Springs, One Light, One Heavy, Were Used to Weigh Sugar. For the first time in court in the sugar fraud trials the government had a witness yesterday who told of the use of the steel spring discovered on November 20, 1907, by Acting Deputy Surveyor Parr t and who had used it himself. He was Frederick Schwerdtfeger. a former checker employed by the American Sugar Refining Company. Mr. Schwerdtfeger said that he used two springs, one light and one heavy, according to whether or not the cargo was to be re welghed by the city weighers. He said the other checkers used the device, too. Mr. Schwerdtfeger was the witness who wss taken from his farm in Sullivan Coun ty last winter by Secret Service men, as tcld exclusively in The Tribune. On his ar* rival here he made a confession before United States Commissioner Shields at the office of Henry Ij. Stimson, the government prosecutor in the case, at No. 32 Nassau street. Oliver Spitzer, the former superin tendent of the riavemeyer & 131der docks, in W r llliamsburg, where the frauds were committed, who is serving a two years' sentence at the federal prison in Atlanta, had a mortgage on the former checker's home. There was also a second mortgage. Soon after Schwerdtfeger's visit to this city the mortgages were foreclosed. The witness figured in the case before, Mr. Parr, soon after his raid, went to see Schwerdtfeger on his farm, and on Novem ber 30 came to this city with him. There was a confession then, and in 1008 the wit jkss appeared before grand juries here and in Brooklyn. He was dismissed from the company's employment in January of 1507. Plan of Defence Revealed. More of the plan of the defence, so far as it concerned Charles R..Heike, the secre tary ,of the company, was revealed yesterday when Mr. Parr was on the stand. It was In the course of the cross-examina tion by John B. Stanchfield, of counsel for the secretary. Mr. Parr had said that he had investigated other sugar refineries. Mr. Stanchfield asked him whether he had not found differences between the weights re corded by the city weighers and those of the government weighers at refineries other than that of Havcmeyer & Elder. Mr. Stimson made strenuous objection, but Mr. Parr was permitted to answer, and said that he had found weight short ages at the other refineries. Mr. Stanch field wanted to get this in evidence, as showing that the practice was common and not necessarily within the knowledge of the officers of the companies. then Mr. Stimson caused a general laugh by asking the witness whether his part in the general investigation, while important, was really small. Mr. Parr answered: "I had an impression that my part in the In vestigations was rather an important one." Mr. Parr, under cross-examination by Henry F. Cochrane, counsel for the defend ants who were former checkers, said that after the raid he went to see Ernest Ger bracht, former superintendent of the Have meyer & Elder refinery, a defendant, with a letter from H. O. Havemeyer giving the witness the right to see the books. As Mr. Havemeyer had died since the letter was written, Mr. Gerbracht had asked for other authority, had obtained it, and then gave Mr. Parr access to the books. The witness said that no obstacle wat> put in his way by the accused man. Surprise for the Defence. Mr. s^chwerdtfegef's testimony came as a surprise to the defence. They sprang an affidavit signed by him, but this proved rather a boomerang when the witness de nied that he had signed the paper as read. The affidavit recited that the witness was formerly in the employ of the American Sugar Refining Company as a weigher or checker and vTas familiar v/ith and at all times used the scales at the Williamsburg refinery; that he never saw or knew of any appliance or device, whatever used in con nection with the scales which would affect the weight in any way. That part saying that he never knew of any device or ap pliance used to affect the weight, the wit ness declared, was not in thY affidavit when he signed it. Mr. Stfmaon showed the witness a steel spring. He asked whether the witness had ever been one like It. The witness said he had. that they, the checkers, all had two of them, one light and one heavy. The checkers who had them, he said, were Kehoe, Boyle, Coyle, Hennessey, Stein, Heffernan and Voelker. Voelkfr is now on trial. Kehoe, Boyle, Coyle and Hennessey are serving terms on B!ackwell's Island, having been convict ed in the trial which began on November I». 1909. Mr. Schwerdtfeger said that h« began using the spring three months after James Vail became Deputy Surveyor, in 1903. It had been generally supposed that tfie spring had not been used until several years later. The witness said that he and the other checkers had also used a small bag containing shot, but that when the mechanism of the scale was closed up the spring was brought into play. He got h!s springs from Harry Walker, the former as sistant superintendent of the docks, now on trial, he said. The witness said that he received $12 a week so far as the envelope was marked, but that it contained $15. His wife, who was called later, testified to having Been the springs and to the difference between the markings on the pay envelope and its contents. The counsel for the defence did not shake Mr. Schwerdtfeger's testimony and did not cross-examine his wife. Albert Lambert, a machinery expert em ployed by the Postofflce Department, was the next witness. A scale, the duplicate of the one used on the docks, was trundled into court, and he showed how the spring was us jj. He was on the btand when court adjourned until to-day. MAYOR ANALYZES CONGESTION Committee Then Hears His Hope That It Will Do Its Work Well. Jacob A. Cantor, former Borough Presi dent, was elected chairman of the com mittee on congestion appointed recently by the Mayor, at a meeting held for or ganization In the aldermanic chamber. A -committee of five on plan and scope was named and the committee will hold its first hearing in The Bronx on Tuesday. Following the organization the members of the commission were sworn in by the Mayor, who said: Let's see; what is the population of the whole world? If I am not mistaken, It is in round numbers 1,500,000,000. It Is true, however, that they could all be put in the city of New York, each occupying two feet square. Yes; and they could all be put in the state of Texas six to the acre. And yet here we are with the question of con gestion of population. What a Btrange world this is! If the Interborough and the elevated com panies would carry passengers in the morn ing trains which run empty to The Bronx, and then carry them back in the evening: trains which run empty to the bridge at two cents, say, they could carry all the East Sid© and congested people up to The Bronx any day and back and make money out of it at two cents apiece. They would be Just that much more in at the end of the year. But what Js the use of talking. about all these things? 1 hope you will do your work well, and we v.iU talk about that afterward. WILLIAMS'S TRIAL AT END Fight in Courtroom Enlivens Lawyer's Summing Up, CHARGE TO JURY TO-DAY Last Daj Marked by Testimony of Character Witnesses for Tammany' Leader. The effect of the testimony of several Justices as character witnesses for Roswell D. Williams, the indicted Tammany leader, given at his trial yesterday in the Criminal Branch of the Supreme Court, was somewhat lessened a little later when the hallman of No. 2 Wall street went on the stand. He. contradicted the sworn testimony of Will iams that he was in the real estate business at that address. ■ The hallman, who has been employed in the building for twenty seven years, denied that Williams ever had even desk room there. The character witnesses were Surrogate Cohalan, Justice Schmuck, of the City Court; Justice Sheehan, of the Municipal Court, and Coroner's Physician O'Hanlon. Judge Swarm, of General Sessions, was to testify but was unable to attend the trial. The testimony given by these witnesses was that Williams's reputation was of the "very best for honesty, morality and deceat living." CLark I*. Jordan, counsel for the defend ants, tried to prove by witnesses that the conspiracy charged against Williams and* his six associates on tr*al with him to in validate the primary election laws was really the work of Daniel A. Golden, who was WillLams's opponent last ' fall for the Tammany leadership of the 17th Assembly District. Justice Wheeler frustrated this plan by sustaining the objection of Ezra Prentice, Deputy Attorney General. The trial yesterday was enlivened by an ejection and then a light in the courtroom. A gray bearded spectator figured in the first. An attendant ordered him back to his seat and was pushed asidft hy the old man, who thon was grabbed by another court official and «jected. A little later a young man got up to leave while Mr. Prentice was summing up. "Sit down'" said Captain Lynch. "I am a lawyer and have an important engagement at 4:30," the man replied. Captain Lynch repeated his order, but the young lawyer tried to push his way past the old chief of the court squad. "I'll take you before the justice," said the captain. "I want you to do that." replied the law yer, whereupon the two men soon bagan to struggle with each other. The court was immediately in an uproar and the proceedings came to a standstill. The justice, half rising from his chair, pounded with lite gavel, and the court clerk shouted again and again, "Every body be seated!" The other court attend ants and Patrolman Fitzpatrick hurried after the two men, who were clinched in neck and body holds, but the unequal struggle was soon over. Captain Lynch winning single handed. He pushed his ad versary into a chair, and In chat chair he remained. Daniel R. Golden was called in rebuttal by the prosecution, and he denied the Etory of the defence that he had tried to sell his political prestige to Williams for $250. Mr. Jordan then summed up, in his ad dress to the jury insisting that the whole erase was the outgrowth of a conspiracy by Golden to injure the reputation of Williams. He declared that Golden hired men from outside his district, "election ex perts," he called them, to carry out his conspiracy. "Williams had no reason to steal bal lots," said the attorney t'lf you believe that ho stole them you had better have a guardian appointed for him as an In competent, instead of declaring him a crim inal" Mr. Prentice, in summing up, called at tention to the contradiction of the testl money given by Williams that he was in th<» real estate business at No. 2 Wall street to show how far a man, he said, would go when his liberty was in jeopardy. As to the contention of the defenco that) much of the misdoings was chargeable to the inspectors of election, the Deputy At torney General declared that out of twenty nine applications for inspectorships twon ty-four were signed by Galligan, one of the defendants. Mr. Prentice also explained the erasures in some of the poll registers. In one elec tion district 232 names were entered as hav ing voted. When the ballots were counted there were only 201 ballots in the box, so that it was necessary to erase the recorded votes of twenty-eight to' tally with the ballots in the box. In another instance, he said, the full Democratic vote was recorded. Presum ably, therefore, not a man In the election district was out of the city or had moved away in eleven months. Justice Wheeler will charge thr jury this morning. ROLLINS TRUNKS APPRAISED Former Cfovernor and Family to Ap pear for Examination To-day. There was much reticence yesterday re garding the appraisal of the goods in the nine trunks brought over in the steamship Lusitania by ex-Governor Krank W. Rol lins, Mrs. Rollins and tlfeir son' Douglas, who are under $2,000 bond each for appear ance- before United States Commissioner Shields, on charges- of smuggling, this after noon. 1 Th© appraiser, George W. Wanmaker, could not say positively whether the report of his examiners had been sent to the Col lector, William Loeb, jr. Mr. Wanmaker said that up to the time he left his office yesterday the official papers in the case bad not been received from the Custom House. It was reported at the Cut-torn Moose that goods of foreign manufacture and domestic make had been found in the trunks, and that the former were worth over $1,000, but there was no one to say whether the foreign goods were dutiable or'not. At the Federal Building it was said that the examination before Mr. Shields would have to be held before it would or could be determined whether to take the ease to the federal grand jury. Mr. and Mrs. Rol lins and Douglas Rollins are in the city, and It was said last night that all would appear for the examination. FIGHT FOR "PURE AIR" BILL. Allan Robinson, president of the Allied Real Estate Interests, has sent a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee and the Assembly. Committee on Rules protesting tl.at certain interests are trying to defeat the "puie air" bill prepared by Mr. Will iams. State Commissioner of Labor. Mr. Robinson says that the engineering socie ties opposing the bill, which requires a standard purity of air in factory buildings, really wish their o»vn patented appliances t<. be used Sn the construction. The ensineers ask that a certain qr*n titv <>f air b*» introduced, and thi . Mr. Robinson thinks, ts not sufficiently re strictive, as the air could come from any- V. !;<! (■-. ARREST ANOTHER CUSTOMS MAN. Gilbert P. Williams, a former assistant customs weigher, was arrested yesterday on un indictment charge's that he accepted l-rihes fiom Philip Muslea and Henry Aeon fore. Importers of cheese, and also that li> mad* false entries. He was urrulgned before Judge Murtin. In the United States Circuit Court, whore he, pleaded no( guilty and was placed under J2.UK) bail fur trial. HELD FOR WIFE MURDER Man Gave Himself Up, Police Al lege, After Woman Was Shot. Henry Homey Bhot his wife in Newark yesterday morning, it if cliarged. and tben walked around to the Ist Precinct station house and told the police he didn't know why he had done it. Homey, so the police allege, is a shiftless younp man, and on March 18 his wife swore out a warrant for him, chargrlngr him with desertion. She said he had left her and her twenty-months >i: baby and gone to Bridgeport, Conn. Yes terday morning about 7 o'clock he turned up at the home of hia mother-in-law. Mrs. Mary A. Sloan, No. 133 Borden street. "I want to see Ida," was all he told Mrs. Sloan, and sh© called her daughter. Mr-. Sloan says she heard a shot just as her daughter entered the parlor, and that three others followed in rapid succession. The young woman staggered out of the room and fell at the foot of the stair?. Homey, according to Mrs. Sloan, walked quietly out of the house without a word, and she was afraid to stop him. He evidently walked to the station house, a mile aw&y, for he appeared there not long afterward, laid a .32-calibVe revolver on the desk, ac cording to the sergeant, and said: "I have just committed a crime, and I want to give myself up." "What crime have you committed V asked Sergeant McGeehan. 'I have shot my wife," was the alleged reply. "Why did you do it?" persisted the ser geant. "You can search me," said Homey. Three of the shots took effect, all having been fired into the woman's back. The po lice say that just as she was entering the room where her husband was she turned and tried to flee. COAST LiMER TESTS OIL Yale Makes Successful Run with Her New Fuel Equipment. The steamship Yale, of the Metropolitan Line, made a trial spin around the Am brose Channel Lightship yesterday with only six men in the fire room, instead of the regular crew of forty -eight. It was tha first time th© turbine Boston flyer has been propelled through the agency of oil, and, accordine to Robert McGregor, the con sulting engineer and general manager of the company, who installed the equipment, the test trip was a success. Oil has been used as fuel on American war vessels and on the steamships of the American- Hawaiian Line, operating between this port and Mexico, but the Yale and hfT sister ship, the Harvard, are the first tur bine coastwise vessels to use this clean and economical combustion. The oil burners were put in the Yale and the Harvard at comparatively small cost and with little change in the original fur naces, and as fuel the oil showed that it had many advantages over coal. It was said on board the Yale that she could take into her two large oil tanks 47,532 gallolfe of oil, eauivalent to 157 tons weight, in one hour, and that her oil capacity was sufficient to take her from Now York to Boston and return and half way back again to Boston without refilling. The oil gives off little smoke. On the trip around the lightship yester day the Yale was not let out to her top speed of twenty-four knots, but averaged about nineteen knots. Among those on board were Calvin Aus tin, president of the line; O. H. Taylor, general passenger agent, Captain H. O. Nickerson and Herbert L. Bridgman. MARINE INTELLIGENCE. MINIATURE ALMANAC.
