CoLER OFFERS HIS SERVICES.

Controller Bird S. Coler. who defeated for
the nomination for Governor at the Saratoga Con-
vention by Croker's man. John B. Stanchfed, made
1t plain yesterday that he intended to do every
thing he could help the ticket IN the State. Mr..
Coler declared that he believes Mr.. stanchfed
strongly opposes the Ramapo grab. He bases this
belief upon personal acquaintance with the nomi-
nee. and particularly upon the statement made by
Mr. stanchfeld at his home in Emira in the course
of a speech at the celebration which followed his
nomination. Mr.. Stanchfed declared:
favor the immediate and unconditional repeal
Of the Ramapo legislation The waters Of this
divisions Within Which they lie and neither cor
poration nor individual under the false guise Of
to tPol PSenG f5em interest Souo ever So"eo 10 con-
THAT is clear and to the point" said Mr. Coler
'It is definite statement of Mr.. Stanchfeld's po-
sition. and he means It. He will do what he says
BY this statement. which is even stronger than the
clause in the Democratic PLATFORM he has declared
himself in favor Of repeating the Ramapo charter
and all other acts whereby to the Ramapo company
were granted extraordinary powers"
Mr.. Coler would talk yesterday about the
Mayoralty campaign next year. say whether or
not he would be independent candidate. He also
also discouraged any talk about running for
we viii seq Of f we cant rum the FRance B pepar a4
ment without mixing up in these affairs" he de-
clared.
Mr.. Coler called at the State Democratic head
quarters yesterday and had a long talk with John
A Mason. He offered his services to the commit
| tee. and will go through the State and speak for
| Bryan and Stanchield. Mr.. Coer said:
made race for the nomination and I was
| beaten, but Democrat and I always will be
| Democrat, I always have been and I will
| certainly be more than willing do anything and
everything in my power to insure the election of
! the Democratic ticket.
Mr.. Coler secured the names Of the 154 delegates
who voted for him in the convention. and he will
write to each Of them a personal letter of thanks
! He said he would call the National Committee

PROPERTY

Oyster Bay, Long Island. Sept. 1s-The possi-
bility Of Oyster Bay acquiring more than mile
and a half of the Long Island Sound beach for
the purpose of a park. free of cost, and perhaps
the control of Desoris Pond IN addition is giving
much satisfaction to the people Of the town E. J.
Payne who was engaged by the Town Board to
examine into the title OF the Sound shore front
that he finds after careful research OF the earliest
town patents and grants to private individuals,
the clearest evidence that not only does East
Island Beach, from East Island to Peacock s
Point belong to the town of Oyster Bay. but that
Deserts Pond and the land Hereunder are also
town property.
The tracts mentioned comprise more than one
hundred acres. and the property is valued at
about 500 COO Mr. Payne also says that II is more
than probable that the town also owns the beach
to the east of East Beach. extending from Pea
cocks Point TO Fix Island.

pulpit Mr. Wildwood said concerning the ex-
change:
This is. I believe an innovation and an excellent
idea. I hear the Epscopalian periodicals have been
advocating the practice. and. I think. with good
reason. Although l have been abroad before,

the English people than could have been obtained
by ten years Of reading. Mr.. Brewin arrived here
after I had left and he sailed for England on the
same day that l started home. l have never met

A CONSPIRACY, SAYS CROSS.
INSPECTOR DECLARES THAT GREEKS EX-
TORTION CHARGES AGAINST POLICE
ARE TRUMPED UP.

Police inquiry into charges OF blackmail made by
Karalabos KoIolouros, a Greek pedler, against po-
Hcemen OF the Oak-st station is still going on
under the direction of Inspector Cross. He has
several men at work on the case and is inclined to
believe that the investigation will result In the
vindcation Of Policeman Alexander Howry holo-
Iouros still sticks his statement that he paid
protection money regularly every month. and two
Of his friends who were brought before Inspector
Cross testified to the thing. Most Of his wit
nesses become very meek by the time they reach
the Central Office and as soon as they are under
the official eye they abandon the pedlers cause and
say that they never paid any money and that they
don't know of any one who did.
Inspector Cross says that he is convinced by the
investigation he has made that there is a con-
spracy in the Greek settlement to have Howry
transferred to some other precinct removed from
the force under a cloud. He said yesterday after
noon to a Tribune reporter:
am convinced that Howry is not guilty of the
charge made against him by this Greek. He has has
to keep the pushcart pedlers out OF City Hall
Square and the narroW streets IN the velnIy @ 5s e
praise him. In doing his duty ne has INCURRED
He is one of their countrymen, and they resent his
be9g So severe with them have evidence TPGh P
erson fixed up the deal with the Greeks 10 accuse
order to profit by their ignorance Koioiouros has
very bad reputation and IS particularly slr Vicious
given me no trustworthy testimony.
and If any one in the Oak-st precinct has been
guilty of wrongdoing want to see him punished
The investigation is not being held behind closed
DOORS as has been said and the witnesses not
calItioned to keep quiet about their testimony One
Of the three peders who have accused Howry tes-
titled yesterday that he paid him money last De
cember and that he him about the Postoftice
every day. He positive as TO the time and that

AT that tine Howry doing patrol duty in the
Eighth Precinct, and could not possibly have been
around the Postoflce. This is an example of the
kind OF testimony are getting. l will examine
more witnesses before make my report.
Down in the Greek quarter great interest IS be-
ing manifested in the Investigation Most of the
Greeks do not believe that anything will come of
it. They say that Tammany Investigations never
do result in anything. Koolouros seems to have
lost most OF his friends, and nearly every one in
the quarter denies knowing him.

cLUBBED NEGRo's CASE Up AGAIN

The Police Board will resume this afternoon its
formal inquiry into the charges made against the
patrolmen OF Acting Captain Cooney's precinct
that they dubbed many peaceable negroes in the
race riots on the West Side which disgraced this
city recently. President York. who is conducting
the investigation in a manner which gives every
indication OF coming ''whitewash" for the ac-
cused men, would give no information yesterday
what course the inquiry would take to-day or
whether any witnesses had been summoned
Neither would he indicate what he would do with
the charges Of ineffciency which Frank Moss has
filed with him against Chief Devery. Inspector
Thompson and Acting Captain COoney Mr.. Moss
would not be greatly surprised If the charges are
dismissed without any chance being given him to
substantate them. Mr.. Moss is representing the
Citizens Protective League IN this matter. The
leagues meeting in Carnegie Hall on
Wednesday night resulted in the raising of a sub
stantial fund to prosecute the fight.
