possible clue to the identity OF the two little
children who were deserted In Elizabeth last
Wednesday by n man who claimed to be their
father came to light yesterday. The little girl's
description tallies closely with that OF a child
who disappeared in Hazlebrook, Pa, on April
81. and there are other circumstances Indicating
that the Elizabeth waif may bo the same. In
case this should prove to be true, however, tho
mystery as TO who Is the thrcc.months-old boy
who was also deserted would still be unsolvcd.
Tho clue was brought to tho Elizabeth police
yesterday morning by n young man who said
his namo was Andrew Zemany, a newspaper
man of Frccland, Pa. lie arrived in town on an
early train and hurried 10 Police Headquarters,
where no told his story. 1te said that on April
81 daughter of Andrew Satus, Polish coal
miner Of Hazlebrook. went out to play in
patch Of woods not far from her fathers house.
She was but yonrs and months old With
her was an Italian boy, u years old. the child of
a neighbor.
The children never came back and although
a reward had been offered and good deal Of
money spent in searching for them, no trace OF
them had been found. When Zemany read In
the newspapers OF the two children deserted In
Elizabeth ho jumped to the conclusion that they
wore the same. His theory was that they had
been stolen for an and thas ba
thought II best to get rid Of them,
In explanation Of his interest in the case. Ze.

Although he speaks Polish he was not able to

he concluded that lie had best go to Hazle-

Killed Preinel.

Lawyer Thomas 8. Henry OF Newark served
a notice upon County Prosecutor Crane Of that
city yesterday. that he intended to apply on Sat
urday to the Court Of Oyer and Terminer for a
discharge of Henry Kohl, who was convicted OF
numbering his cousin, Joseph sPreinel. Kohl
was convicted. on Jan. 25. OF murder in the first
degree. Application for new trial was refused
by Judge Dcpue. Chancellor McGill then
fused TO grant a writ of error and the Court OF
Pardons refused TO interfere.
The United States Circuit Court in turn
fused u writ. and Kohl's counsel secured three
appointed for the hanging. Judge Henry sue.
ceeded at last in getting the case before the
Court OF Errors and Appeals at Trenton, and that
conviction on the ground that the evidence at
the trial was not convincing beyond reasonable
doubt. Then the prisoners counsel declared
that Kohl's life could not again be put In
jeopardy. He has been kept In jail. however,
ever since.

Aldermen Hold Up q Resolution Calling on
Scott to Begin Suit for the City.
There was another uproar in the Aldermen's
chamber yesterday over the Sixth and Eighth
avenue surface roads. Nobody but Aldermen
contributed this time. Alderman Hall intro
duced a resolution directing the Corporation
Counsel to begin action in the Supreme Court
to determine the city's right to re-enter upon
the franchises granted to the Sixth and Eighth
avenue roads. Mr.. Hall said that the matter
had been before the Aldermen and the public
long enough, and II was time something definite
was done.
"Our position" he, continued, Is absolutely
simple ana clear. Each one of US is a trustee Of
the city's property. We have been Informed
that We have a valid claim for millions Of dol
lars II proper suit is brought to recover. The
city has in its employ a Corporation Counsel
who draws a salary of $12, 900 annually. and he
is the one who should press this action. tell
you. gentlemen, that this question will never be
settled otherwise. 1t will rise up and haunt US
and harass US until the rights of the munich
pality have been finally settled in the court of
last resort by means of suit in which the city
is the actual plaintiff. II the Aldermen do less
than this respectfully submit that they are do
ing less than their sworn duty"

tically the same as the resolution now under

Alderman Hall said the committee had been
instructed to report two weeks ago.
Its falsel' cried Brown, w whereupon both men
fell to reading from tho printed minutes to
prove that they we're right. Hall outread Brown
and was adjudEed the winner Alderman Parker
also wanted the matter to go to the ltairoad Conn
mittee OF which he is the Chairman He said
he was opposed to any further consideration OF
the question until the Court OF Appeals had
passed on the citys right.
Alderman Ware wanted the suit begun at
once. President Jerolomsn said he was not
aware that the Corporation Counsel had refused
to test the question in court. He understood
that Mr.. Scott had never been requested to bring
the action. He's too big a man to rest easily
under this imputaton." he continued. Let US
pass this. resolution at once so that he may do
his duty"
Some men in this board are always shouting
about the rights Of the workingmen." said Al
derman Hall, looking toward the Tammany side
OF the house. a. they are sincere, let thom
vote for this resolution, which is indorsed by SO

lists in this country MS well as England to learn
definitely that w. w. Howard, the American
who captured the champion cup in England last
year in his tiny flyer Yankee, will not be n com
pctitor for the trophy this summer The Field
OF May Il says:
The Royal Canoe Club Committee met during tho
week TO receive the foreign club representative
entries for the challenge cup races. but no Amer
icau entry had come TO hand: therefore. II Is now
evident that Mr.. Howard. who won the cup In the
Yankee last year, cannot compete for it this sea-
SON. This is very unpleasant state OF affairs. for
more than one OF the X. c. c. members have en-
barkcd on building new canoes expressly TO meet
tho Yankee, but perhaps the scare anticipation
that the Yankee was coming again has done good
to canoe sailing as sport, in causing the newest
ideas he put into actual building. these latest
additions TO the fleet will now help to swell the
season o entries. and venture TO expect some of
popular Kind.
1t is now a settled fact that Howard will not
sail his canoe this season TO any great extent,
but will be the skipper of one of the new twenty
footers In the trial races of Oyster Bay.

When the members Of the Citizens Committee
OF Poughkeepsle call upon Henry 8. Van DuEcr.
who has charge Of the Harvard-Y ale Cornell
boat race, to-day they will learn that Mr.. Van
Duzer has decided to reconsider the plan for
rowing tho big race up stream instead OF down,
or rather he Will not make definite decision
until June 10. A few days ago Mr.. Van DuZer
visited Poughkeepsio, and after learning some
thing about the condition OF the tide the after
noon Of June 20. the day set for the race, con.
cludcd that 1t would be better to have the race
rowed up stream at 43o o'clock, or thereabouts,
as the tide would bo flowing In at that hour.
Since that time, however. Mr.. Van Duzcr has
asccrtained that there is considerable doubt as
TO the exact hour In which the lido turns, and
therefore he believes that 1t will be we'll TO wait
until June 10 before finally deciding. To a Sun
reporter Mr.. Van Dnzcr said yesterday,
that the tide viii. be running out until 4;3o
29,,el9ek, and that the race can be started at 4.
as I anS 5nS whole 10 race
cidcht such as broken oar or the disabling of the

would be disappointed for twenty -four hours at
fore why thought at at The time that ff Il Would BE-
best to row up stream with the tide. the start to
b made SInywherg between and .d Sslock
anchor n half mile or so below Crum Elbow, and
there is q wido strip of land along the railroad
track at this point where thousands Of persons
on foot can be accommodated. The observation
train can follow the race in either direction,
which should cause no complaint.
"since my visit TO Poughkeepsie have mnde
further investigations, however. and have
learned that nobody is exactly sure just when
the tide does turn. 1 have accordingly nsked
the committee Of Poughkeepsie to watch the
tide from day to day, and on juno 10, after TAX
ing everything into consideration, will decide
the matter once and for all. The race is OF such
great Importance that care must be taken that
no mistakes are made. II 1t is possible in any
way to row over the old course, Ii will be done;
otherwise the crews will start below the bridge
and 70 up with the tide. In either event the pub
lie will bo accommodated"
