Jas Company Wants DOGS

Gas Company Wants Dogs
The cellars Of many Staten Island
homes during the last week have become
storehouses for dogs. Every variety or
canine to be found running abroad in the
Borough of Richmond has been trapped
oy small boys. The activity in the dog
business has been caused by large posters
placed on all the railway stations and on
many bill boards. The poster says that
the Stapleton Gas company wants to rent
all the dogs possible at 10 cents A dav
Any sort of dog will be accepted and the
owner IS permitted to keep the dog.
Ihere are some homes in Staten Island
which are housing twenty to thirty
CANNES. The officials of the gas company
will not disclose their dog plan.
The company won't lose any money by
paying rent for dogs said an old rail-
road conductor. "They are pretty shrewd
people, and those corporations have very
cunning ways Of getting much for moth
ing"
Portraits by LeIy and KneIIer-
The accommodations of an enterprising
dealer in old and modern pictures are TO
been seen at the American art galleries.
Mr.. Blakesiee makes a speciality Of por-
traits by the British painters from 1859
20 ISoO, and is also one of the most
thorough believers in the works Of the
Dutch and Flemish painters belonging to
the seventeenth century. Old French #por-
traits are present. together with pictures
from men like Sir Godfrey KnelIer and
Sir Peter Lely, who are British in all but
birth.
PETER van der Faes, or Lely, is repre-
scented by seven portraits, among which
the most interesting are a likeness of Nell
GWynne as a shepherdess, with a red
Cupid's-bow mouth, small features. and
brown hair carefully curIed TO carry
out the fashionable conceit the artist has
introduced a little sheep Of the Noah's
ark variety; she, too has blue drapery,
and a portrait of William Earl of Ash
burnham, from the collection Of the pres
ent Earl representing him in a steel
cuirass, yellow cloak, and huge brown
wig. The last is a fulI-length standing
figure on a canvas over seven feet high.
Of Kneller the four specimens contain
at least one attractive one, the portrait
Of Edward Montague. That Of the Earl Of
Macclesfield is a fine decorative piece for
a large hall.
There are interesting portraits by the
French court painter, Pourbus, a portrait
Of Richard Brinsley Sheridan, by Sir
Joshua Reynolds, -Raeburn. a David
Wilkie columbus showing his chartsi.
an Angelica Kaufman, a Janssens and d
MIgnard- One Of the largest and finest
examples Of Monticello is also In the col
lection, which has pictures Of many lands
and many periods in quite bewildering
prOfusion.

The conclusion of DR.. REM, that the
boy, Hanncn, was the victim of poison,
is sustained by all the circumstances of
the case.
No good can result at this time from
theorizing on the case. The death of the
boy was evidently not natural one.
Nor was the deaths of the other Harmon
children, apparently. That is as far as
any fair-minded person can go at this
time. No motive whatever is presented or
even suggested for the killing of the boy.
Access to the poison may have been acct
dental, and probably was in the case of
each one of the children, assuming that
they all died from poison
The peculiar circumstances of the case
rendered it imperative that the most ex-
haustive investigation should be made
into the cause of death. That has been
done by thoroughly competent man.
The result does not leave in doubt the
fact that there was poison in the boys
stomach, and that that poison in its eft
fects was unusually difficult of discov-
cry.
There is of course but one thing to be
done. That is to have the case probed
thoroughly by the criminal authorities.
Their investigation can be carried on,
and will be, with the utmost regard Cor
the rights of every person, including the
members of the deceased's family. The
case is very evidently one of extreme diff
ficulty and delicacy.
The case may forever remain a mystery.
Notwithstanding its difficulty and the
doubts which must exist as to the death
Of the boy or the other children being
other than accidental, the police should
engage anew in an Investigation Of the
facts. That is all that can now be done,
and the failure to throw any additional
light on the affair will not be at all sur
prising.

PLACED ON PROBATION
ROGERS MAY MAKE CAMPAIGN
SPEECHES If HE is GOOD.

Clerk of Courts E. G. Rogers has been
restored to probationaI favor with the
Doran campaign managers but his field
of activities is to be limited until he
proves his willingness to submit grace
fully to the Doran-McCardy tax cam
paign.
Mr.. Rogers stirred up the animals at
the celebrated Doran ratification meet
ing in the Sixth ward The comptroller
had an abbreviated list of figures calcu-
lated to prove that Democratic admins
trations have been eXtravagant in the
extreme and plunged the city into an
abyss of debt. Mr.. Rogers very frankly
stated that he did not take much stock
In the tax campaign, and said that he
would be willing to pay an increased tax
to insure schools for the poor mems chill
dren
Rogers Sent to Back Seat.
After the meeting he was taken to task
by Doran and McCardy and told in en-
phatic terms that he must leave their
tax campaign alone. That was the only
plank they had to stand on they said
and if he rebelled that would be swept
from under their feet. Rogers advised
them to steer clear of the subject of taxa
ton as q zone of extremely dangerous
fire. They were insistent and Rogers
was even beIligerent, with the result that
he was relegated to a seat in the rear.
His restOrat ton to grace is to be ac-
complished Thursday night in the Fifth
ward at a meeting held in the interest
of John Selb, candidate for the board
OF aldermen. The restOra ton is NOT
complete, and Mr.. Doran will be on hand
TO see that the clerk of courts makes
no bad breaks His name was included
IN the list of speakers only at the per-
sonal request of Selb, and Rogers is now
valnly looking for subject matter for an
address which shall not be offensive to
the high-strung honesty Of the candi-
dates for mayor and comptroller.

New York Letter.

NEW YORK. April 1O.-The parishion-
ers of ST. Marks Episcopal church, in
West Orange, celebrated the seventy-fifth
anniversary of the organization and in
corporation Of the parish. During all that
time there have been but five rectors Of
the church. At the celebration the Off
ciating clergynen were the rector, the
Rev Frank =. Reazor, and the Rev.
Lewis H. Lighthipe.
Of the five rectors only one is living be-
sides the incumbent, and he is the Rev.
Bishop Falkner, now rector of the church
at Bay Ridge, L. I.
The congregation Of st. Marks was or
ganized by the Rev. Benjamin Holmes,
missionary clergyman. The corner stone
Of the present church was laid in 1923,
and the ediflCe was consecrated by Bishop
Cross on Feb. 20, of the following year.
The Rev. William Robinson Whiting
ham, afterward bishop of the diocese of
Maryland, was the first rector.
The church is one Of the most fashion
able and wealthy in the Oranges.
Labor Union Men at Odds
Through the attitude of the newly or
gained United Board of Building Trades
toward some of the unions in the Central
Federated union the central body found
itself at its meeting, whether 1T would
or not,a arrayed against the board. The
new board is composed of the old board
of walking delegates and the Building
Trades council, which ama1gauated
short time ago in order to put stop to
quarre1s between unians in the building
trades which had been going on for ten
years.
1t so happens that some of the building
trades unions affiliated with the Central
Federated union have been refused recOg-
milton by the new board. Among these
are the Paperhangers' union and the Ar
chitectural Iron Workers union. Their
respective delegates complained Of this to
the central body and denounced the atti-
tude of the new board
Finally q resolution was passed by
which ali unions antagonistic to affiliated
organizations were suspended.
Plans fer Speedway Day
All plans Of the Road Drivers Associa-
ton of New York for the celebration Of
Speedway day nave been completed and
the programme. including all details, will
be announced at an early date that driv
ers who intended to take part may be
fully prepared. The entries for these
tests of speed, already in the hands Of
the contest committee, include about
every horse of note on the Speedway,
and, as they are also very numerous,
there is not the slightest doubt that the
fields throughout win be uncommonly
large.

MURPHY is ADEMOCRAT
NEARBY AUDITs TWO SALARIES
FOR REPUBLICAN AsSEAIRL LYMAN.

Comptroller McCardy says he Is an
honest man and prides himself in the mis-
homer Watchdog Of the Treasury" Mr.
McCardy's honesty and his care OF the
treasury may or may not be influenced
by the degree of interest he has in the
welfare of partisan of1ceholder and
that officeholder's interest in the re-eIec-
ton of Mr. McCardy.
Mr.. McCardy refused to audit the sal
airy warrants Of Edward Murphy, Dem
acratic member of the board of public
works, on the ground that Mr.. Murphy
was during a portion of his service on
the board Of public works, serving as
member of the city council, and there
fore entitled to draw only his council
mans pay March 1, 1901. George t.
Dix, Republican member of the assem-
bly, was appointed clerk Of the munic-
ipdl court at a salary of 81, 500 per year
Mr.. Dix retains his seat in the assent bly,
and for a period OF thirteen months Nc
Cdrdy has audited the warrants by which

IN UNEASY Halt HOUR.

King Leopold, of Belgium, had an I'M
easy half hour in his capital Wednesday.
Riding around the city in an automobile
he was surrounded by a large crowd of
socialists and working people and COM
PEELED to listen to their cries Of Long
live the republie!' and other sentences
indicating the dissatisfaction with pres
ent conditions.
King Leopold is sixty-seven years old,
and not bad sort as kings CO. but there
has been constantly growing sentiment
among his people in favor of a republic
for several years. The demonstration
which his majesty involuntarily witnessed
was the elimination of this developing
sentiment, and it is more than probable
that further exhibitions of the same
temper will be witnessed in a short time.
Long live the republic!" is not cry
pleasing to the e>r Of an emperor or a
king. 1t carries an ominous meaning, al
though the hearer may not fear the i'm
mediate revolution Of his subjects. Yet
it leaves the impression Of dissatisfaction,
and the possibility that there may some
day. and that not far in the future, be an
uprising which might result in new
order of things.
Leopold was riding in an automobile at
the time of the demonstration, and while
we are not Informed that he was acting
as chauffeur there is no doubt that he
was pretty busy watching out for flying
missiles that might start his way For
tunately none was thrown, and Leopold
speeded up as soon as he was free from
the crowd. He didn't stop until TIE cas-
tie was reached.
1t was only last week that Leopold S
heir was hooted right Justify in the streets
of Brussels. This circumstance, taken in
connection with the demonst- alton against
the king himself, has given the whole
court SILVER. It would not be a sur
prising thing if there were an open re
bellion in the little kingdom some day
soon, and if one comes it will be pretty
sure to be successful, unless the mon
arches interfere to prevent the estab-
nshment of republic.

Gives His Location IN IS0I-2 and Re-

To the Editor Of the Globe:
Newspaper controversies are a bore to
the public; mud-slinging communications
to the daily press have long ago lost
their effect, and when they are penned
and submitted by a person against one
of his party for political effect the pub
lie too often applies the old saying which
has obtained credit by long use that
people living in glass houses should not
throw stones" Mr.. Michael J. DAILY
who in a communication to your paper
of yesterday asks me 20 explain my ex-
act location during the years Of 1891, 1892
and 1893 and why / left the city so sud
denly about that time, was at one time
in the city council AS he will never
again be a candidate for public office
under any of the old parties his private
life is safe and his past is or no interest
TO the public at this time.
Perhaps the Juvenile career Of all can
didates will receive attention from Mr.
Daily. In 1891-in my eighteenth year,
was from January of that year to Feb
ruary of 1892 in the employ Of the Full
Ter Il Fuller Wholesale Drug company,

essary to represent the debt of this city
in 1892 at the enormous figures Of Sll,-
coz, 900, as it does in its editorial Of Tues
day last, we can only reflect on its present
embarrassing position, and charge the
foolish and contradictory statement to It's
desire to make up for the body blow
which it has given to Doran, McCardy
and the whole tribe Of humbugs who are
now trying to deceive the public.
Away back in 1892 our contemporary
could not, even in the height of city
campaign, find in the additions made to
the debt before 1892 anything worse than
"a lack of sound judgment and fore
sight" Now, unhappily for it's own con
sistency, it sees the matter in the light
Of "a burdensome legacy of Democratic
wastefulness."
The Clio b is disposed to deal very
lenientIy with it's contemporary even in
connection with the foolish claims which
it put forward in that editorial of Tues
day last. It did so, no doubt, as sort
of Offset to the bitter truths which 1t
forced on McCardy and the rest of them;
but really we cannot altogether foreg0
suggesting that these foolish and Of
fensive claims must have been put for
ward to be accepted in a Pickwickian
sense. They certainly could not have been
advanced seriously. If the Republican
politicians have the temerity to build
any platform on them, or make any fool
ish claims about ''the huge debt of near
