CASSIE BROOKS CONFESSED.
Five OF the Conspirators for Loring Robert

Five OF the Conspirstors for Loring Robert
sons Money Arrested.
Inspector Byrne's detectives in New York
yesterday arrested five of the conspirators who
are charged with having plotted to gain pos
session of the great estate left by the mil
lionaire leather merchant Loring A. Robert
son. The method said to have been employed
by the alleged conspirators, as has already been
published in The STAR, was to foist a fraudu-
lent widow upon the estate in the person OF
Cassie Helen Brooks. The prisoners are the
Brooks woman, Lawyer Byron w. Cohn. James
Daskam, Spectator Of Stamford, Conn; Ed
ward l.. Studwell and Mrs. West Cohn.
Daskam and Studwell were charged with sub
ornation, while Cassie Brooks was charged with
perjury.
The conspiracy 10 said to have been Matched
in Stamford, Conn. In the latter part of Oc-
tober Daskam is said to have had q talk with
Studweu about finding woman to personals

died. Studweil, it ia said. agreed, and pro.

Cohn instructed Cassie Brooks so it is said
how to act her part as Helen Robertson. The
lawyer is said to have told her of many of Rob-
ertson's peculiarities, such as an abnormal in.

WHAT ASTRONOMERS WANT.
The Transfer of the Naval Observatory to
Scientific Board.

The Transfer of the Naval Observatory to .
Scientific Board.
The leading astronomers and scientists Of the
United States are uniting their forces for
struggle from which they confidently expect to
emerge victorious. The next Congress will be
me morialized to transfer the control of the
United States naval observatory at Washington,
otherwise known as the United States national
observatory, from the Navy Department to the
hands of purely scientific and astronomical
board. which shall hereafter constitute an as
Economical department of the government ma
chinery.
The leading astronomers concerned in this
movement claim that there is great deal more
of the change than there was III the case of the
transfer of the weather bureau from the War to
the Agricultural Department. The cause of
the movement Is step recently taken by the
United States naval observatory, which inficts
the greatest injury upon the various astronomi-
cal Observatories of the country-that is, the
practice established OF supplying the Western
Union Telegraph Company with time signals
for commercial use. ST. Louis is especially in
terested. as Washington University, with Prof.
Pritchett as director, was the pioneer in
the field of the system about to be overthrow.
In 1857, from Washington University, the
signals necessary for the regulation of time
pieces In this District FIRST began to be derived
IL was practical system, which caused a revo-
luton in the manner of securing correct astro-
nomical time over the whole country and it
made ST. Louis for years the center of interest
for all interested in the system. Following the
entrance Of the Washington University in the
field, there was established circuit OF as.ro-
nomical observations under the new system, as
follows:
The Harvard observatory at Cambridge.
Mass.; Lick observatory at Mount Hamilton.
Cal; Carlton College observatory ut Northtield.
Mimi; Allegheny observatory at Allegheny,
Pa; Washington observatory, st. Louis, and
the Winchester observatory Of Yale. The sums
received from railroads in payment for the
time and other signals furnished by this circuit
formed the main support OF the observatories,
and now the system adopted by the United
States observatory of supplying time signals to
the Western Union Telegraph Company, which,
with its extensive electric system. can do the
work much cheaper, though, il is claimed. with
less accuracy. will drive the university observa-
;ions from the field.
The latter claim that with the telegraph
company receiving the signals gratuitouslyfrom
the naval observatory that company can es-
tablish its own plants at various points and can
afford to greatly underbid the observatory
service. The universities say that with the
Western Union system adopted the only means
they had OF advancing the cause Of science will
be Withdrawn and their costly plants will be
rendered useless.

Of ex-senator Millsr's party;
GREYTowN, NICARAGUA, April Alt 9 o'clock
on Thursday morning, March rs, the steamship
Aguan grounded on the Roncador coral reef
There was bright moonlight, and the sea was
calm, with wind blowing. The Agunn ran
on full length. The bells rang to stop and then
to back, but. luckily, the ship held fDk or the
disaster would have been far more serious.
There was no panic among the passengers.
They dressed and went on deck and waited for
day to break. Dawn showed Q small line of
surf breaking on the jaggedrocks a hundred
yards ahead and stretching far to the right and
scngers, with their hand baggage. were disem-
barked in small boats and landed safely on
Roncador Island six miles TO the north. Ono
boat was dispatched to Providence Island,
aster. During the day all hands were landed
except the captain and seven of the crew. BY
evening water, food and a few tents were
brought ashore. Friday, Saturday and Sunday
the small boats piled between the stranded ship
and the island, and brought more tents and
other articles of necessity. Sunday the camp
WAS well stocked
Roncador Island is about eighty acres in Ok.
tent 1t is fiat and desolate, chiefly sand and
rock, with few trees. 1t is haunted by sea
birds and land crabs. Little else can live there
All hands were cool and confident. There was
a slight trouble with the crew. They got at the
liquor aboard ship and struck work. This dis
turbance was soon quelled. On Sunday our
drinking water was down to three hundred
gallons, and there WAS no more to come. The
chip was settling fast and the main water tank
was submerged. Late in the afternoon. after
digging for hours. water-hard, but not salt
was found. The lack of fresh water had been
the greatest danger, and the relief experienced
was intense. There were ninety-three persons
on the island to care for. Provisions we're
running low. Easter services were held on the
sands on Easter morning, at which the English
bishop of Honduras officiated. On Monday al
the fresh provisions had given out although
there was still score of canned goods The
trade winds temper the hot sunshine during the
day, and the nights are clear and splendid.
At o'clock in the afternoon of Monday
sail was sighted. Then. as the vessel neared.
she was recognized as q fishing schooner from
Jamaica, manned with black crew from
Providence Island. On Tuesday morning the
Presidente Carazo. a steamer belonging to one
of our passengers, cast anchor off the island.
At o clock in the afternoon all the passengers
were prt aboard, and few moments later the
Carazo steamed away for Grey.own. We ar
rived at Greytown Thursday morning all per-
fectly well.
