A Bold Thief's Haul in a Brooklyn
Jewelry Store.
He Had Asked Prophet Healey
to Repair His Watch.
Then He Snatched n Tray of Set
Gems and Escaped.

A daring robbery was committed in
Brooklyn at / o'clock this afternoon,
when thief snatched tray full of
diamonds from a showcase in Henry
Healey's jewelry store, at 33l Myrtle
avenue, and escaped.
The thief was about forty-five years
DID,. feet 10 inches In height, and wore
sandy mustache closely cropped. He
had evidently laid his plans in advance
When he entered MIR. Healey's store,
few minutes before o'clock. there
was no one there except the proprietor.
Il want to get my watch repaired"
he said. placing a cheap nickel time
piece on the counter.
Healey picked the watch up and took
1t to his work bench in the rear OF the
store.
While examining the watch Mr.. Healey
heard scuffling noise. and turning
around he saw the man dash out of the
front door with his arms folded across
his breast.
Healey FASTENED to the show case and
monds and jewelry. He suspected, how
ever, that the robber had accomplices
outside, and fearing that they might
steal more goods II he left the store he
stood In the doorway and shouted for
the police.
When an officer arrived the thief was
nowhere in sight.
Mr.. Heally says the tray contained
six rings and two studs. One of the
rings was set with ten diamonds and
another with six. There were also
three solitair.s, weighing one and one.

On receiving a report of the robbery

and policemen in citizens clothes to look

The police estimate Mr. Healey's loss

TO KILL OFF THE NEW BOSS.
Rivals for the Leadership Will
Make No Effort to Save
Him from Himself
DEFEAT WOULD OPPOSE HIM.
And That Might Seat Either County
Clerk Purroy or Grant in
Croker's Vacant Chair.

Tammany Han politics Is In a bad
way just now, and Tammanys county
ticket Is likely to meet with severe
treatment at the hands of the factions
created by Mayor Gilroys seizure OF the
leadership.
1t is expected that the county ticket
will be prepared for the Convention by
Mayor Gilroy. Police Commissioners
John C Sheehan and James ]. Martin,
Police Justice Barney Martin, Excise
Commissioner Dalton, Corporation Coun-
sci Clark. Sheriff Sexton and perhaps
one or two others of the faction known
as Gilroy's clique, nearly all of whom
are office-holders.
There may be very little opposition to
such a ticket in the Convention. The OPP
position will come after the candidates
are named and at the polls.
This Is Gilroy's first campaign as
boss of Tammany, and If the ticket he
selects is showed under Mr.. Gilroy's
leadership Is apt to come to a sudden
end. Tammany likes a successful lead
er, but 1t has no use for an unsuccess-
full one. That Is the reason Mr.. Croker
retired while there was still a chance
to preserve some OF his laurels, He could
see nothing but defeat ahead. and re.
tired.
| Now, II Giiroy's ticket can be tune
down. his rivals for the leadership ar.
| que that will mean the end OF Gilroy
and the beginning of somebody else.
| Among Mr.. Glroy's bitter rivals for the
| leadership OF Tammany Is County Clerk
Henry d. Purroy. and ex-Boss Croker's
personal following in Tammany Is with
| Purroy. 1t includes such workers as Sui.
Ivan. Scully. Boyle, Scannell, Delmour
Shea, Dunn, Featherston. Reilly, Sea
bold and Heating, all of whom have ex
pressed more or less dissatisfaction with
Gilroy's official and political actions.
EX-Mayor Grant has a personal follow
ing, too that Is not friendly to Gilroy
Plunkett. Dooling, Mcmahon and Still
Ing.
County Clerk Purroy and ex-Mayol
Grant are not inclined to interfere t
save Gilroy from himself at this inter
esting period. 1t is said that they hav,
practically agreed between themselve
that this Is an of year for TammanI
anyhow, and that while there, Is very
little chance for saving anything from
the wreck it would be good thing to lie
Gilroy and his clique go down with II.
So 1t Is pretty certain that they will
not interfere with Gilroy's plans for
ticket, or work themselves into a per
spiration trying to elect it,. They ma!

PULL" NOT TO COUNT
Police Commissioners Called Upon
to Make New Rules.
Board Of Examiners Insist Upon a
Conference with Them.
Pres. Martin Opposes a Change That
Would Strip the Board of Power.

The Board of Police Commissioner this
from the Committee on Civil Service Ex-
aminations requesting that the Police
Commissioners confer with the Examin-
ing Board for the purpose of amending
the rules governing the examination and
appointment of applicants to the police
force.
The communication stated that the
testimony taken before the Senate In
vestigatng Committee establishes the
fact that in many instances. appoint
ments and promotions are made for
reasons other than those of merit.
Reference is made to Their ecent re-
port of Supt. Byrnes, in which 1t Is
stated that a large number of officers
have obtained their positions through
means other than meritorial service:
and that, as a result, 1t has great
tendency to impair the discipline of the
careless and Indifferent in the perform
ance of their duty.
The latter also staes that Is is openly
charged. and the charge is publicly
credited, that this other means" re.
of money for the places received.
ut is unfortunately true" the letter
continues, that the civil-service rules,
as at present enforced, do not materi-
ally hinder the existence of such a prac-
tice. 1t is the opinion of this Come
mittee that, through proper revision,
these rules might be made to preclude
the possibility of practises of that sort.
with a view of improving the system
under which such scandalous conditions
have developed, we would earnestly
urge that the subject of this necessary
t.,r lot lao ola rnf m m ah 4 a
attention"
The letter referred the Commissioners
to report of the Examining Board,
made in December 1881, which was SaI
and which staed very frankly that II
believed that undue influence served
to procure appointments and promo
lions.
The report recommended a remedy for
the alleged abuse that a rule be adopted
that all persons on the eligible ists
should be appointed in order OF merit.
AS all patrolmen are now appointed
on thirty days probation, the Commit
tee declares that there would not ap
pear to be good reason why such rule
| should not be inforced
This recommendation was repeated II
