BOUND TO HAVE THAT LIST. is ALMY DEAD IN THE RIVER
Board Of Estimate Makes Another Call
on The AQueduC! Board.

The Board OF Estimate and Apportionment
is bound 10 have tho list Of employees OF the
Aqueduct Commission, together with a state
ment OF the work done by each and The
salaries received by them, despite the refusal
OF the Aqueduct Board to furnish It.
AT to-days meeting OF the Board the reply
OF the Aqueduct Commission TO the request
for such list was received.
1t contained merely list Of the ofllce em-
plOyees OF the Commission, without reference
to their salaries, and denied the right OF the
Board OF Estimate TO approve the employment
OF their engineer and field force.
This defiance Of the authority Of the Board
was resented by President Barker, Of the Tax
Department, who offered the original resOlu-
tiOn, and he Immediately drew up and pre-
sented another, requesting Mayor Grant to
secure the required information through the
Commissioners OF Accounts, and furnish IL TO
the Board.
Comptroller Myers objected TO its passage
and said he thought that hardly fair way
OF getting the Information sought, but the
resolution was passed despite his objection.

TAKE YOUR CHOICE, PORTER.
Brooklyn Says Census Bulletin 81 Is
Either False or Foolish.
Comptroller jackson Points Out
Gross Injustices TO His City.

COmptIolle Theodore r. Jackson, Of Brook
lyn, this morning made written statement
calling attention to the misrepresentation or
mistakes made by supt Robert p. Porter in
Census Bulletin No. 81.
Mr.. Jackson says:
"Census bulletin S2 in its preface is stated
to be balanced statement showing In detail
the receipts and expenditures for one
year OF 100 principal and representa-
tive cites in the United states, COM
piled In each case mainly from the
published reports OF the representative cities
in question. In every case It has
been approved by the proper municipal offlcer
and no objection made thereto
"If by the last statement 1t is meant to be
understood that the arrangement and con-
densation Of the figures for the purposes OF
Bulletin No. 80 have been submitted to the
Financial Department OF this city for examina-
tion or correction the statement is not true.
No such comparative or other statement,
showing the per capita expenditures OF this
city, has ever been presented TO the Finance
Department OF Brooklyn.
"The blanks forwarded from the Census
Bureau were In every case hlled out and
promptly returned, but nothing was received
to indicate the purpose for which the state
ments were desired or the necessity OF Sepa-
IdIlHB ulncIcnb lIclnS VI Cl1S' SOunIJ anu
State taxes.
1.-THE errors in the table, so far as Brooklyn
is concerned II not wtlful, have arisen from
u lack OF knowledge Of our system OF govern
ment and OF the relations OF the city govern
| ment to the county and State expenditure.
"In the preface TO the bulletin 1t is further
stated that the ordinary receipts include col
| lections for the use OF the city, only moneys
collected for the state or county not entering
| in any way into the account
"Yet, in the statement OF receipts OF the
| city OF Brooklyn the very first item under
the head Net ordinary taxes, S11,121,275.
| includes the entire amount collected for city,
county and state purposes, the total tax levy
for the city, for the entire year being only
| @S,2S4 $3.50"
Mr.. jackson says the statement made by
Mr.. Porter that there has been deducted IN
each case from the ordinary expenditures OF
the city the amounts expended for public
buildings, charities, water works or use OF
| water, and that In many cases the cost OF i'm
| proveL-ents could not be separated from the
expenses OF running them, is gross mis-
| statement OF fact.
Finally, the Comptroller says that Porter's
estimate or the administrative expenses as
S17.3 "a per capita, on basis Of population
OF 500, ,343, is false; 1t is really only S9.S5

BAGS FOR BATHERS.
Bathing Suits at Ocean Grove Can Be
Seen Only on Clothes Lines.
Women Ordered to Wear Cloaks
and Gossamers.
Cnustic Critics Accuse DR.. Stokes
OF Excessive Modesty.
tsrrcr,t. TO THE EVENING woRrn. ,

AsBURY PARK, n. j., July 22.--There was
more indignation than piety at the ocean
Grove Clmp-meeting this morning. Many
caustic expressions indicate that bitter feel
Ing exists among the summer residents over
the Rev. X. II. Stokes's latest order rcgulat-
ing the wearing Of bathing-suits, which the
ladies' consider an insult to their modesty
and womanhood.
Rev. DR.. stokes is President OF the Camp
Meeting Association and autocrat Of ocean
Grove, who has ideas OF his own about tho
prOpriety OF things, which, however, do not
coincide with the views OF everybody else.
The thousands of ladies and children who
occupy cottages In the neighbOrhOod OF the
beach have been In the habit OF disrobing at
their homes ana walking down to the ocean
in their bathing suits, all ready TO take
plunge into the sea.
The story is told that President stokes used
to take as much delight and pleasure az others
in watching the parade OF bathers on the
board walk and coming down the streets and
avenues until few days ago, when he visited
the beach In company with several prim and
spectacled ladies Of uncertain age, one of
whom was 80 shocked at what She called
" the vulgar diSpUrtment OF those creatures" p"
that she nearly tainted, and insisted on leav-
Ing the spot at once, all the while holding her
hand before her eyes.
Next day-thaJ was yesteTday-a policeman
was stationed at the beach and warned on all
bathers who In his Judgment were not
dressed for swim with becoming modesty.
| When the Indignant bathers protested he
pointed TO the following notice, posted on the
wall and printed In large, black type:

A STOMACH PUMP SAVED HER
Mrs. Salzer Took Poison When
Soolded by Her Husband.

Mrs. Dora SAl1er, Of 71o Ninth avenue, was
prisoner In the YOrkv1lle Police Court this
morning on O charge OF attempting suicide by
taking Paris green.
No one appeared to press the charge, how
ever, and as she insisted she took the poison
by mistake Justice Mcmahon discharged her.
But Mrs. salzers husband, Herman, tells
very different story. He says that her act
was deliberate, intentional and threatened
beforehand. Mr.. salzer is q merchant tailor,
and he and his wife live In the rear OF the
shop, which is on the street floor.
They have been married ten years, but have
NO children. Mr.. SalEer told an EVENING
WORLD reporter this morning that his wife
was In the habit OF drinking considerably, and
that while her spreeletS prevailed she showed
an Indifference TO her household duties that
almost amounted to contempt on these oc-
casions Mr.. salzer was in the habit OF going
supperleBs TO bed
The semi-occasional spree was due early
this week and arrived promptly on time.
salzer had neither breakfast, dinner nor sup
per on Monday nor on Tuesday, and between
and O'clock last evening matters came TO
crisis; This Is what what Mr.. A sslzer says
whole days and had grown terribly hungry.
! said 20 my wife: NO decent woman would
do as you are doing
Then abe got mad AZ me and said, Very
well, VIII poison myself
she sent my apprentice out for a pail OF
clam chowder, and when he got back with It
she threw IL into the sink. / told her she
hadn't ought to do that. because / worked
hard for money ana didn't want II wasted"
Within five minutes after she threatened
to kill herself Mr.. SalZer says his apprentice
saw her In the room back OF the tailor shop
deliberately swallow q big dose OF Paris
green. HOW or where she got in nobody
Knows.
Dr. Henry Kolp, Of 350 West Forty-second
street, and stomach pump were hastily
summoned, and In q short time Mrs. Salzer
was out OF danger, Then DR.. Kolp went
around to the West FoTty-seventh street po-
lice station and reported the AFFAIR, and the
woman was arrested.
MrR Salzer IL thirty -four years old and
rather good looking. While she was at court
this morning her husband said he had no In
terest IN what was done with her, and then
burst into tears.

Mr.. MYERS'S WORD DISPUTED.
Told that He Never Investigated the
TWeed-DinSmOro Claim.
Lawyer Strahan Has Tit with tn
Comptroller.

lively tilt occurred between Comptroller
Myers and Lawyer John II. strahan at the
meeting of the Board OF Estimate and Appor-
tiOnment to-day, over the \. u. Dinsmore
claim for printing and advertising during
the Tweed regime.
The original claim was for &7O,pe2. "a, and
with interest amounts to sl30,O0o. II was
for advertising In the Stakeholder, a paper
published at that time.
Comptroller Myers, to whom the claim had
been referred, reported that he had taken
testimony and discovered that the city had
been plundered OF sl,5OO,oOO in one year,
and that Sl45,55 OF the amount was for
alleged advertising.
Concerning the DinsmOre claim, he reported
that he ascertained that much Of the alleged
advertising had not been inserted, more had
been inserted without authority and much at
enormous rates
Only 34,611.75 Of It had been published at
legal rates, he said, and OF this amount but
e6,931. 80 had been published by authority.
That amount the city had paid, and the
claimants had signed release and receipt in
full to Jan. /, 1879, which covers all the time
included in the claim.
lie recommended that the claim be dsal-
lowed.
Lawyer Strahan replied to the Comptrol-
ler's structures with considerable asperity.
He said that he could state II as a fact that
the Comptroller had not taken the evidence,
nor had he read IL.
He requested the members OF the Board TO
suspend their Judgment until they had an
opportunity to examine the evidence taken
regarding the claim, and declared that tho
law passed last year directing the Board to
inquire into this claim is mandatory, and
that the Board must allow something
II was finally decided to refer the matter 10
Corporation Counsel Clark with request for
his opinion whether the law IL mandatory
and II II Is obligatory on the Board to audit
and allow the claim.

MORE MUTINY OF THE GUARDS
Queens Soldiers 0verworked Dur
ing the Kaiser's Visit.
Wanted q Day or and Got Parade
Order Instead.
Try AssocIArEp PRrasl

LONDON, July 22.-Truth to-day prints q
startling story or another mutiny in the
British Army, the facts OF which seem to have
been kept quiet up to the present
According to the story, this third serious
mutiny among the Guards during the past
year or 80 occurred In tho Second Battalion OF
the Coldstream Guards, whose Colonel is Gen.
the Hon. Sir A. +. Hardinge, X. G. B.
The Second Battalion OF this regiment has
been quartered at wellington Barrac ks,
Birdcage Walk, close TO buckingham Palace,
where 1t has been furnishing the guard of
honor and incidentally, during the recent
visit OF the Emperor william OF Germany to
London, taking u prominent part In the
parades, reviews and professions which were
arranged In honor of the Imperial visitor.
This work nccessitated considerable
amount of extra duty, and after the departure
OF the Emperor the guards expected TO be
allowed at least day FREQ from guard mount
Ing.
Instead OF being granted the day on they
were ordered to parade In full marching order.
Then grumbling, cursing and fierce mutter-
ings were heard throughout the company
rooms OF the barracks. The whole battalion
for q period seemed detertnined to refuse to
turn out.
The Coldstreams' of1lcers repaired to the
company rooms and argued with the
mutlnous priyates, who finally sullenly con-
sented to parade, but arriving upon the
parade ground the behavior and bearing OF
the Coldstreams was so glaringly insub-
ordinate that they were marched back 10
| barracks.
| The officers there issued orders coninIng
their commands to barracks for three days as
punishment for their insubordinate con-
duct, and that ten senior privateB should be
placed under arrest with the view OF trying
them by court-martial.
No sooner did the main body Of the excited
guardsmen hear OF this last order than ninety
OF them Darricaded themselves In q room In
the barracks and declined TO emerge from it
until promised that the ten senior privates
should not fare any worse than their COM
rades. .,.
A considerable time was spent In parleying
with the mutineers, and they were finally
persuaded, on the ground that they would
only make matters worse for all concerned,
to open the door and listen to their ofiicers.
The mutlnous Coldstreams were then ad-
dressed by Gen. Han dihge, who, by Judiclously
stroking the soldiers backs, ,nguratively speak
ing, succeeded in quieting them down.
