CLAUSEN ANGRY AGAIN.
He'll Wanted II Supervising Archi.
tect Recommended.

At the meeting of abe Park Board to-
day. Commissioner Bell offered a reso,u-
ton that Messrs. Chase, ST. Gaudens
and White submit the names of persons
competent to fill ahe place of landscape
architect to supervise the work on the
Harlem River Driveway.
Those three gentlemen wrote to the
Mayor some time ago, protesting against
the failure of the Park Board to appoint
such an architect.
President Clausen objected to Mr..
Bells resolution.
II don't wish to reopen the contro-
versy. and therefore will write no more
letters.
I'VE have already written to the
Mayor. stating that we would receive
suggestions as to whom we shall ap-
point"
Mr.. Bell reminded President Clausen
that the Board had resolved to appoint
the man suggested by the three artists
named in his resolution.
No, sir; we have done nothing of the
kind" answered Mr.. Clausen holly
We will appoint whoever we please
We don't know these people anyway
We refuse to invite either Mr.. St
Gaudens or Mr.. base to run this Board
Neither will we coax them to tell us
who to apoint."
Mr.. Bell withdrew his resolution when
he found he was in such a hopeless
minority.

HAVE RIGHTS IN EQUITY.
Says Justice Patterson of Lev,
Bros Creditors.

Supreme Court Justice Patterson to-
day handed down a decision in the ac-
ton brought by the National Park Bank
to establish the rights of the various
creditors of Levy Brothers, Broadway
clothing merchants. who failed several
years ago.
At the time of the FIRMS failure numer-
Gus creditors brought proceedings
against the firm and secured Judgments
and attachments against II, based upon
money loaned and goods sold, Under
thes attachments the Sheriff levied upon
a large part of the stock of the firm.
Subsequently a large number of cred
itors of the firm began replevin actions
against the firm alleging that sales had
been made to the firm under false repre-
sensations, and wanted the sales re-
scnded and their goods seized
There were numerous legal fights as
to the rights of the various creditors,
and finally the. gank mentioned began
an action to settle the rights of all the
creditors.
Justice Patterson holds that the cred
itors whose goods were delivered to the
firm of Levi Bros. have a claim in a
court of equity to their particular goods
and to their proceeds, and are entitled to
protection in this respect, but that this
can only be granted to the extent of
the value of their merchandise, at the
price. at which they sold the goods to
the firm.

from q Window.
For Years She Had Been Unable
to Walk Without Aid.
Neighbors Say They Heard Shots
and Breaking Glass.

Mrs. Sarah Laselle. an invalid. Iifty-
seven years old, OF 70 Downing street,
died at St. Johns Hospital, Brooklyn
early this morning, under circumstances
which her neighbors think are sufficient
TO warrant a thorough investigation by
the police.
The woman fell from the third-story
window of her home at o'clock last
night, and was found lying In the yard
shortly afterwards. She was taken to
St. Johns Hospital suffering from
shock, and died at o'clock this morn
ing.
Several persons who live in the neigh
borhood say now that just before she
fell they heard several pistol shots, fol-
lowed by a series of sounds that re-
sembled the breaking of window glass
This, they say, brought many persons
to the reer windows of their houses.
Mrs. Laselle was suffering from a
spinal disease which paralized her body
from the waist down and rendered II
impossible for her to stand or walk
She occupied the third-story back room
in Mrs. John @. Dillon's house. where
she has been boarding with her son since
Mrs. Dillon, as has always been her
custom, put Mrs. Laselle to bed last
night and left her. She says she cannot
understand how the invalid could leave
her bed, as she has always been help
less She denies all knowledge of the
pistol shots or broken glass.
Among the neighbors who are posi-
tive they heard the pistol shots are A.
W. Gilbert, who lives at "a Downing
street, Il. ]. Fitzhugh the organist of
the Greene Avenue Cathedral. who lives
at No. IS.
Mrs. La Sale Is supposed to have had
money left her by her husband.
At Police Headquarters nothing was
known about the pistol shots The am:
bulance surgeon this morning telephoned

posed that she ha" walked out the win
dow in her sleep.
At the hospital the woman's name was
supposed to be Sarah Mandell instead
