the Mayor Says Of II.
NEW YORK May There was an ex.
citing scene In Mayor Strong's Office
tuesday which was only stopped when
the mayor threatened TO arrest Police
commissioner Roosevelt and Comptroller
riteh and send them both to Jail. The
pause OF the row was tho question before
the board OF estimate of the transfer Of
vi, 900 from the police fund for the erec.
tion OF station houses and TO reimburse
policemen and detectives for the money
spent In obtaining evidence again st disor.
derly houses Comptroller Fitch had
fought the transfer after the board Of es.
Inmates had passed resolution granting
it, and the police board had threatened to
Dring mandamus proceedings compelling
Its payment.
Both Men Grew Angry.
In the discussion Mr.. Roosev blamed
Comptroller Fitch for the della Comp.
troller Fitch turned white with rage.
That's you every time, that's your style"
he retorted You're a fighter, any.
way"
We'll, you're not fighter. You'd run
away, retorted Roosevelt, his face dis.
torted with passion and his teeth swapping
viclously.
Mr. Fitch wheeled about in his chair,
and tried TO appear calm. but he was
white as he said; "Well, what shalt IL
bep Plstols?"
His tone was bantering and seemed to
lrritate Roosevelt beyond endurance.
Eyes, pistols. II you choose" he shout
ed pistols or anything else you want"
II guess you would shoot man II
necessary" was Mr.. Fitch's reply.
"Of course / would use pistol in self
defense" Mr.. Roosevelt foamed.
Mayor Strong Interferes.
The words 'cowards," dirty work"
and insinuations of political misdoings
were freely passed Roosevelt announced
himself open to challenge to duel
with any weapon from pistol to a
machete.
Here Mayor Strong intervened and
threatened TO put both men under arrest.
After little the two men began 10 dig
into each others political record and tho
air became so blue the corporation 'coun-
sci insisted on the dignity Of the office be.
ing upheld and adjourned the meeting.
The high character of the two men I'm dis.
pute and the dignity Of their offices makes
the spectacle an unpleasant one for New
York people, who are wont to uphold
their city as paragon of municipal gov
ernment.

Rather Than Face the Disgrace. the wom-
an Who All Along Supposed Herself the
Legal Wife Of the Theatrical Manager.
Committed Suicide Few Days After the
Death of stetson-He Told Her the Sc
cret shortly Before He Died.
Boston, May There 10 q rumor that
Mrs. Catharine Stokes Stetson, the widow
OF the late John Stetson, who died on
Monday within a few days Of her has
band. committed suicide. The will Of
Stetson made two days before his death
has been found. It IL one Of the shortest
and clearest on record, and Is ss follows
II give and bequeath to my wife, Cath
arine B. Stetson, my entire estate and
personal property. JOHN STETsoS."
The finding OF this will means the be-
ginning Of IA long and bitter legal fight.
Suicide Positively Asserted.
A well-known actress, who was closest
to the Stetsons. makes the positive asser-
tion that Kate Stokes killed herself rather
than face the reproach that would be
heaped upon her when IL became known
that she had been living with Stetaon
without the legal right. The actress de-
nes permission for tho use of her name,
Uut neF pOrlttOu on tne btb6o - bucu - w
warrant her reliability and freedom from
malice She says Kate Stokes died In the
terrible agony OF convulsions after drink
Ing poison.
THE prostration which was publicly
stated as the cause OF her confinemcnt to
the house after the funeral Of her hus-
band" said the actress, was not the
ordinary nervous prostration caused by
grief. 1t was far worse than that. The
incidents at the death bed OF John Stct-
son and those Immediately following
caused Mrs. Stetson to take her own life.
Was Not His Legal wife.
John Stetson's dying lips had whis-
pered in her ears words which caused her
heart to break He confessed to her that
she was not his legal wife-that there
were others whose claim TO that title were
more valid than hers"
Since the death OF Stetson Ada Rioh-
mond, well-known actress, has laid
claim 60 the estate, saying that she was
Stetson's wife at the time he married
Kate Stokes, but whether Stetson meant
her In his confession is not known. The
Richmond woman's statement did not at
tract great attention, as IL Is thought she
had not the best Of grounds for her claim.
Now, however, IL has become most Inn
portant and before many hours pass 1t IL
possible that the entire story Of John
Stetson's double, triple, OF quadruple life
will become known.
