TAKE B OK THEIR GOLD.
Brooklyn Police Officers Deprived of Their
Gilt Braid.


New York, January 3.-The police
commissioners had all the commanding
officers and captains in Greater New York
before them today. In an address, Pres
sdent York said there would be no politi-
cal preference i'll the departments, and
that all laws on the statute books must
be rigldly enforced. Gambling and lot
terry laws were especially referred to. In
regard to the widely discussed action of
the old board under Theodore Roosevelt
President York said:
We don't want men delayed on the
street to arrest women for the purpose of
discovering disordcrly houses. That is
not part of your duty as officers, but we
expect you to break up such places and
stop all violations, whether gambling OF
social. The impression has gone abroad
through the public prints that the incom-
ing of this beard mean that there would
be an open city. There win be none. so
far as this department is concerned, but
we want the law broadly construed and
literally enforced
Mr.. York said that the Brooklyn police
officers, who wore gold lace shoulder
straps, would have to conform TO the uni
form of tbs New York police who wore
none. Instead of waiting to have the
expensive straps removed neatly by q
tailor. the Brooklyn officers almost to a
man tore the gold from their shoulders.
They were given away on the spot to the
mems friends as mementoes OF the day
when Brooklyn owned itself.

known, as those who suffered but slight
Iy at once made for their homes or were
taken care OF by their friends. Those
who were seriously injured were carried
to neighboring drug stores, from whence
they were taken to the hospital or to
their homes after their injuries had been
unattended to. The dead were taken to
the committee rooms of Alderman Par
nell, across the street.
There were probably 2000 people in the
building. There was Il lull in the pro-
cee6ings, the audience called for several
of the newly elected aldermen, and there
| was some delay in securing a speaker to
address them. In response to numerous
calls, r. NJ, Toothe WAS pushed forward
to the platform. AS he reached it there
was an oninous cracking and the plat
form onswhichsthe mayor and newly elect
ed aldermen were seated seemed to pitch
forward to the floor.
There was sagging of timglers and the
next moment 100 people were hurled
20 feet to the floor below.
A beam running 20 feet along the CEN
tire of the hall had given away and the
crowded masses standing above it on the
floor were thrown in q heap to the bot
tom. A large safe stood in one corner of
the hall and o huge steam coil weighing
half a ton came crashing down on the
heads of the victims.
Following the crash there was d wild
rush for the doors. At the south door,
where the majority of the crowd entered,
there was terrible panic Those in front
were thrown down by the on-coming. rush
of persons, shrieking and fighting Tor
the door and safety. Ouly one half of
the rear door, a space Of probably three
feet, was open and in the mad rush
no one thought to open the door in its
entirety and 500 persons struggled
through the narrow space, the strong
bearing down the weaker.
Within o moment after the floor had
fallen, there were not more than three
persons in the hall on that portion of the
! floor which had not fallen.
| Alderman Cooper WAS among the first
to be dragged cut of the mass of broken
beams and shrieking humanity. He was
quickly carried to an adjoining room and
| in b moment half q dozen more were
keeping him company.
Several men lowered ropes and en-
deayored to haul tho wounded out of the
pit. From under the Jnessed weight o.
| broken beams came many cries for help.
Yhe windows on the ground floor were
broken in and tho living and dead passed
to the waiting ambulances.
| A glance at the wreck after the catas-
trophe disclosed the fact that whole
section of the floor had dropped, the
ioists being as neatly cut off rs though
the work had been done with a saw.
The building was an old one, having
been erected early in the 1ifties, and OF
late years additional stories had been
placed on the Old walls.
In the Grand Opera house, whieh ad-
joins the wrecked building, the first act
Of a play q just been concluded when
