TO INDlCT IN new YORK
Chief McCluskey Still Hopes
to Try the Abductors in
Manhattan.

NEW YORK, June 8, 1S99.-Captain Nc
Clusky stated that Sheriff Blauvelt had
served a subpoena on him to attend the
hearing in the Wilson case in Rockland
county next Monday afternoon. Subpoe-
mas were also served for Sergeant Morris
and Detective Herlihy. Captain McClus-
ky said he supposed everybody connected
with the case would be subpoenaed.
Captain McClusky officially gave the
credit for the arrest of Carrie Jones in
Summit, n J., to Detectives Price and
Campbell of New York McClusky said
no trouble was expected in getting the
extradition of Carrie Jones. He is still
very indignant over the actions of the
Rockland county officials.
Detective Funston and Mr.. Clark, father
of Marion Clark, went to Summit, n. j.,
this morning, with a warrant for car
rie Jones, which was procured yesterday
from Magistrate Meade. They will make
an affidavit on which it is hoped the
woman will be held until extra5ition pa
pers are made out.
AS to the motive of the kidnapping plot
McClusky said he has no doubt at all that
the thing was planned to get ransom
money and that it originated in the
wild brain" of Beauregard. He said that
nearly everything Beauregard has done
has been in keeping with this scheme.
One of these freaks was visit he made
to Mr.. Clark's house on the night of the
day the child was taken home.
McCluskey and Beauregard had the
bravado to call there and asked to see
Mr.. Clarke and two detectives, not
dreaming he was wanted in the case, put
him out Beauregard then wen back to
Garnerville, where he was arrested.
Captain McClusky, when asked about
the disposition he intended to make OF
the $1,000 reward offered for the recov-
cry of a child by a morning news
paper said he had not yet decided but
thought Mrs. Cosgriff, in whose house In
Brooklyn Carrie Jones first stayed with
the kidnapped child, ought to get part
of the reward. He was of the opinion
that the information she gave the police
led to the arrests and the recovery OF
baby Marion. McClusky declared that
he believed everybody connected with the
case had already been arrested He did
not belly any other PRISONS were impli-
Gated.
Another large crowd gathered in front
OF the clark mouse carry lnis Hoi HliiS'
and in response to loud and frequent de-
mands the child Marion was held up at a
window and received her usual ovation.
Later in the day the child was posed for
the biograph.
The Grand Jury on Monday will be
asked to indict Carrie Jones and James
and Jennie Wilson or Beauregard. AS
sistant District Attorney LIE Barber was
in consultation with Captain MeClusky
today for the purpose Of getting the evil
dence in shape. The indictment will be
applied for in the hope of bringing the
prisoners to this city and of securing a
requisition from Governor Roosevelt.

old CERTIORARI.
Hon. Tom to Make a Fresh
Effort to Delay Jersey
City's Water
Supply.
ANOTHER BROTHER IN THE GAME
Third "Aggrieved" Member
of the Family Will Bring
Suit in Trenton, June 8.

ExlCongressman Tom McEwan is at it
again. Bent on keeping Jersey CITY as
long as possible from obtaining pure
water he has begun another proceeding
to hamper the contractors from carry
ing out their work, which means tnat
four months will be added to the term
for the expiration of their contract ana
consequently four months longer VIII
Jersey City have to wait for her supply.
Everyday which the work is delayed
means a loss to the city, but as one
prominent citizens said when he hear OF
it,
sAu that McEwan seeks is notoriety
of any sort, but it must be notoriety and
Jersey City be damned"
This proceeding is the same as follow
ed before, a certiorari with the only diff
ference that new prosecutor is named
in the suit. The alleged aggrieved per
SOM is another brother of the ex-Con-
gresham who seems to have an unlimit-
ed supply of brothers on tap. At first
it was George, then Henry and now
Frederick come to the fore to assist in
giving his brother some prominence. The
notice of the suit was served on Corpora
ton Counsel J. w. Queen.
stripped OF the l6Sdl PM dSSoio6y LIN
notice announces that the suit is begun
by Dudley B. Flemming, Augustus Boor-
aem and Frederick w. McEwan against
the Mayor and Aldermen of Jersey City
and j. H. Flynn. 1t goes on to say that
on Tuesday next, June 6, at ten O'Clock
in the morning, at the Supreme Court N
Trenton. a writ of certiorari will be asked
to remove the specifications, bids, awards
and contract between the city and Mr..
Flynn for a water supply to Jersey City
10 the Supreme Court for review.
In the notice it says, with the same
afIidavits used before Justice Lippincotr."
This means that the grounds for the appli-
cation are the old ones. EXCESSIVE price, =
'.city not protected mo competition in
the bids" etc, ETC., all of which reasons
have been twice swept away by the SUI
preme Court
The question then arises, what is the use
of this application? Rumor has it that
in this suit non-residents in the State VIII
be dragged into the suit for the purpose eff
throwing the case into the Supreme Court
where it would be delayed for some time.
Mr. W. D. Edwards, local counsel for
Mr. Flynn, in speaking of the notice
served on his client, treated this third suit
indifferently. He said that if Jersey City
was going to be run by Thos. McEwan n
and Bros, all right; Mr.. Flynn nor him
self didn't care. Every day lost in the
frivolous litigation begun by MeEwan
Bros meant loss to Jersey City. II Jer-
sey City liked it, Mr.. Flynn could stand 1t.

THE HELPER MUST GO.
New Movement Among Jour-
neymen Plumbers.

There is a movement on foot among
the members of the Eastern Branch of
the Journeymen Plumbers Association,
to do away with what they term the
'helper" This question was brought UP
for debate at the annual convention,
held in this city last Wednesday even
ing The helper is, according to the
plumbers, lad who assists, by carrying
the tools and doing other odd jobs.
The plumbers wish to abolish this Gus
tom, and there is clause in their by
laws which disapproves of the helper.
Mr. P. J. Mulvaney of the Helpers
Committee was seen this morning by a
reporter of ''The News" and asked if
the doing away with the helper would
benefit the association in general.
I'm several States," he said, 'the help
er has been abolished. The journeymen
carry their own tools and that is what
we propose to do. We have the interests
of the Master Plumbers at heart and
this action will also protect the supply.
..There are by far too many men in the
business whose lack of knowledge of the
profession Is little short of criminal.
Poor plumbing and sanitary work is a
curse. A great many of these so-called
plumbers are men who have served but
half of the requisite time at the business.
This class Of men is not capable of do
ing the work in an efficient manner.
"Our plan, as adopted in other States,
is to have an apprentice in each shop.
This will, you see. keep up the supply.
There will be no falling off by doing away
with the helper, as all journeymen are
required to instruct apprentices. The
resolution passed to this effect will be
submitted to the Master Plumbers Asso-
Citations and also to the National Conven-
ton of Journeymen Plumbers, which
meets every year. We hope to have the
helper done away with throughout the
entire country

SUPERVISING ENGINEER QUESTION
Conference Between Finance

SUPERVISING ENGINEER QUESTION

The Board of Finance held a very ani-
mated meeting yesterday afternoon con-
cerning the resolution of the Board OF
Street and Water Commissioners appoinr
ing GarWood Ferris supervising engineer
OF the new water works to be built by
Patrick H. Flynn, and his assistants,
James P. Hall and H. H. Bowly, at re-
spective salaries of 81, 900 and s., 500 for tha
assistants.
After the Commissioners had debated
in private for some time, during which
they went over the Flynn contract section
by section, they came into open meeting
and Commissioner Midlige moved that on
Wednesday next the Board should hold a
conference with the members of Street
and Water Board, the Mayor and Corpor-
alton Counsel as to the course to PURSUE
This at once brought Commissioner Null
Inns to his feet, and he objected to this
for the following reasons:-
81 understand that Mr.. Flynn is going
on with the work and there is nobody to
supervise what he is doing. am going TO
Europe tomorrow, and am now in favor
of voting for that resolution. If Mr.. Flynn
is allowed to go on with his work there is
no one to hinder him. He invites us td

"Don't you think" interposed President
Lembeck, that it is better to consuls
with the other board?'
"But Flynn is going on with the work.
persisted Mr.. Mullins, anxious to have the
resolution settled one way or another,

When you do concur and the engineers
make him undo it,"
Commissioner Midlige explained that
there was no doubt as to the abilities on
capabilities of the three engineers. Thd
point at issue. he said, was the rights OF
the Board, and whether or not in COM
curing the Board of Finance was not
abandoning it's rights over the contrac-
tors. 1t was better to be right before
going ahead and ascertain how the Board
of Street and Water Commissioners felt
in the matter and what effects the cons
currence of the resolution would have

Mullins and President Lembeck said:-

that his amendment was lost, but Mr..
Mullins wouldn't have it that way. He
said all had voted AYE on his amend
ment and the chair must give way. Here
Mr.. Mullins chair gave way, creating q
burst of merriment, which had an excels
lent effect because the argument on para
liamentary ruling was fast becoming
acrimonious.
Mr. Lembeck pointed out that Mr.. Mul+
Inns amendment was seconded, but
Mr. Mullins retorted that he, the presis
dent, had in his call for votes said it was
