IN POTTER'S FIELD
Charles Woolson, a Veteran
Of Santiago Repudiated
By His Wife Gets a
Charity Grave.

Charles Woolson, who fought under
Admiral schley ON the cruiser Brooklyn
IN the hattie Of Santiago, was buried
yesterday in Potter's Field
Woolson was so inferred because his
wife, who lives in Buffalo. N Y. refused
to have anything to do with the body
when Warden McAndrews of the City
Hospital telegraphed to her of her hus-
bands death.
Woolson went to the City Hospital
about a week ago. He told the doctors
that he had heart trouble. Woolson's s
condition grew worse from day to day
and finally on Saturday he became so
weak that the doctors informed him that
death was not far off. Woolson then re-
quested the Warden to telegraph his
wife of his serious condition. Warden
McAndrews did as he was asked. After
a wait of several hours a telegram was
received from Mrs Woolson. She said
that she would have nothing to do with
her husband Woolson was informed of
his wife's telegram.
II might have expected just such treat
ment from her he said. Perhaps it is
better if I die" Woolson fingered a few
hours and then passed away.
Warden McAndrews learned of Wool
sons connections with the navy and sent
word to the Brooloyn Navy Yard asking
the officials to dispose of the body. The
request was refused The officials would
not bother with the matter, so they in
formed the warden There was nothing
left for the Warden to do but send the
body to the morgue. The morgne keeS~r
also communicated with Woolson's wife,
but again she refused to come on and
look after the burial of her husbands
body
No one appeared at the morgue to claim
the body, so yesterday afternoon it was
buried at Snake Hill. 1t seems that Woo.-
son died friendless. No one could be
found in the city who would come for
ward and defray the expenses of burial.
A rough pine box was his coffin and
he was placed among several thousand
whose bodies were never claimed. The
disposition of this hero's body was com
mented upon by all who knew the cir
cumssances. This is not the first time
the Government has refused to bury sol
diers and sailors who have served out
their time.

CLEVER WORK
Detective McNally and Pres
cott Capture Two
ShOplifters.

Detective Michael McNally, assisted by
Detective Prescott, of Police Headquarters
made very clever capture this morning
of two of a gang of Polish shop-fftsrs
who have been working the stores in this
city for the past month or more. So
clever have they worked that it is said
they have gotten away with hundreds of
dollars worth of property in that time.
Tho heaviest loser is reported to be Aaron
Wolf, of No. 1856 Newark avenue. who
claims to have lost over $3.50 worth of
goods.
About three weeks ago Chief Murphy
received complaints from number of
the merchants on Newark avenue that
their stores were being frequented by
shopHfters and that in spite of all their
precautions it was impossible for them
to catch the guilty parties. They all tod
Chief Murphy that they had their sus-
picion Of the parties that frequented their
stores but could not catch them at work
Ever since the complaints were made to
the police detectives have patroled New
ark avenue with description OF the peo-
pie suspected
This morning Detectives McNally and
Prescott were assigned to the work.
About ten o'clock McNally saw two won-
en- and man walking up Newark ave-
nue., who tailed with the description he
had been given OF the supposed shophf-
ters He followed the two for aver an
hour. but failed to catch them in the ac.
of stealing He never left them, now
ever as he was positive he had the right
people and continued shadowing tnem.
a tlIaf
they were being followed and after walk
ing up and down the avenue several times
the man, who carried a satchel. left the
women and quickenlng his pace up Hem
derson street McNally followed him. He
turned around suddenly and saw McNal-
ly approaching him. He began to run and
suddenly jumping into a basement disap-
peared. The nelghborhood is tfiekly
populated with Polish people and he evil
IDENTIFY had some friends there.
This did not fease. NdcNally, for he went
right after him, and after search of the
premises found his man hiding In the
cellar of the house. He brought him to
Police Headquarters, and returning to
Newark avenue. captured one of the
women coming out of a store. She was
brought to Police Headquarters, also.
When questioned by Chief Murphy, both
professed not to know one another. but
later they said they did They were book
ed as Stanislaus Karsafsky. twenty eight
years of age. of No. 212 Bedford avenue.
Brooklyn and Mary Zachrewitz. Of No.
2l2 Bedford avenue Brooklyn. The
satchel which was found on the man con-
tained about a dozen shirt waists valued
at $3.50 each piece. and number of strips
of silk waists The capture is considered
one of the best made in some time and
~ mill likely lead n the On n
ture of an organized band of shoplifters
that has been working in this State for
some time past.
Chief Murphy was very much pleased
with the work of McNaly and Prescott.

mayor Pagan is not gentleman.
He does not know the meaning Of COM
mon courtesy said Street and Water
Commissioner Heintze this morning, and
Commissioner Hauck approved the re-
marks
The Street and Water Board are in
censed over the manner of the investiga-
ton made yesterday by Mayor Fagan's
private secretary, Joseph 0'Connor, and
Auditor Heath. of the Board of Finance.
The two gentlemen made an unexpected
and sudden onslaught on the Wayne
street stables yesterday. They were
there for the purpose, they say, of go
ing over the books and the stock so that
they might give Mayor Pagan such de-
tailed information as he may want when
dealing with matters fthe Water De-
partment There is now before the
Mayor for his signature a claim passed
by the Street and Water Board in fa-
vor of the Jersey City Supply Company
for $4,000 for metres furnished the city
under a contract awarded last August.
O'Connor and Heath went to the stables
together and entered by different ways.
They cast wise glances about, and began
a serio-comic cross-examination, for the
purpose. George Siebert, the clerk IN
charge of the stables. says, of trapping
him into something that might be used
as material in a political way against the
Board of Street and Water Commissions
ers. No one connected wit the Street
and Water Board will refuse any infor-
nation to the Mayor or any of his rep
resentatives, the Commissioners say, but
they do ask that they be consulted when
their affairs are to be inquired into.
Commissioner Heintze said this morn
ing
This Board will give Mayor Pagan
or any of his representatives any infors
nation it has about anything connected
with the department. But this office is
the place to learn whatever is desired
about the Board. Mayor Pagan Is not
a gentleman. He does not know what
common courtesy means. He should
have shown consideration enough to US
to at least ask permission to go through
our books and stock 1t is not right
that he or anyone from his office should
go sneaking about in an underhanded
manner trying to lay traps for those In
this department. They can learn moth
ing that we will not tell the world. We
have nothing to hide. Mr.. Siebert did
perfectly right in refusing admission to
Secretary O'Connor and Auditor Heath.
His instructions are to allow no one to
go through his stock and books unless on
an order from one of the members of this
Board. As for Heath, he can have moth
ing. nothing in this Board in the way of
information. He is an assistant clerk
to the Board of Finance, and has falsifi-
ed reports about us. Orders have been
given that he is to be accorded no privi-
leges.
Commissioner Hauck said:-
Il approve all that Commissioner
Heintze has said'
Mayor Pagan said this morning that
his private secretary had not finished the
task of going through the books yet.

Whom Finger Bowls Are Omitted

An English journal says:-"At dinner
parties in country houses wher any mem
bers of the royal family happen to be
present none Of the other guests are pro-
vided with fingerbowls The reason given
for this practice is that It Is custom
dating from the time OF the Pretender

why fngerbowls are not provided when

WILL NOT GIVE UP REMOVAL
Mitchell is in the Capital Removal

The city of Pierre is industriously
circulating a report that Mitchell
will drop the capital removal prop
osition if at the coming session OF
the legislature the bill should fail to
pass. and further. that Mitchell VIII
turn in and help pass an approprla-
ton bill to locate a public building
at Pierre. When any citizen OF
Pierre authorizes such a report to be
put in circulation he or they are
simply fathering a %falsehood OF the
EXTREMIST kind. Mitchell is in the
capital removal fight until the people
are given an opportunity to vote on
the removal OF the ~capital-no matter
whether it comes now or ten years
hence. Pierre has all it can attend
to acting on the defensive rather
than circulating erroneous reports
about other places. 1t is an absurd
proposition to put out, and we 90
not believe that any coghlzance VIII
be taken of it. The citizens Of the

is not made up of the stuff to lay
down on a proposition and that the
town will be in the midst OF the
