ON KRONPRINZ
Little Excitement Among Passen-
gerS-Sirty Detained.

The Kronprinz Wilhelm was detained for two
hours in quarantine last night. while small
pox patient in the steerage Georgios Korovos.
a Greek. was removed to Hoffman's Island.
The other occupants OF the compartment in
which the patient was discovered, about sixty
Jewish immigrants. were sent 10 the detention
hospital When the case was discovered four
days ago. DR.. Lund and DR.. Kaufman, the
ships doctors. thought after consultation with
Captain Richter. that it would be better TO
make a frank statement that smallpox had been
discovered on board than to try 10 cover it up.
A notice was printed and posted in the main
conpanionway stating that there was a mild
case Of smallpox in the Steerage, that the pa
:ient had l,en removed to the contagious dis
ase ward. and that there was no danger Of
the infection spreading. The case naturally ex-
cited considerable comment, but there little
excitement among the cabin passengers.
Dr. Ernest II. Lines. medical director Of the
New-York Life Insurance Company in Europe.
was invited to examine the patient and the pre-
cautions that had been made against the spread
Of the disease. He refused TO do so. as he
did not wish to the risk OF bringing possible
infection into the cabin. Dr. Lines has head
quarters in Paris He is trying to introduce
American methods of life insurance into Ger
many. but thus far has had little success, be-
cause of the competition of other companies
and the life insurance business Of the govern
ment itself.
Other passengers were Sir F. w Borden.

Police Commissioner-wIIliam McAdOo. $500.
Dock OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES FeatbersOn. $4,000.
Commissioners of Account-JOhn c. Hertle and
William Harman Black. $1,000 each.
In the appointment Of William McAdoo. ex-
Assistant Secretary of the Navy, to the office
Of Police Commissioner, Charles F. Murphy and
Mayor-elect Mcclellan deliberately affronted
big Tim" Sullivan and the gambling element IN
Tammany Hall. the members of which struggled
all day long yesterday in vain attempt to pre-
vent the appointment of McAdoo. Outwardly all
is serene and happy in Tammany over the ap-
pointrnent OF McAdoo. On the inside there are
bitterness and gall for the Sullivan men and un-
easiness for the Mcclellan managers, who now
have started out on a tack which Is likely to
keep Tammany free from the control or the
SuIivans. Farrells and other men who stand
for'' the gamblers. Mr.. McAdoo Is expected TO
last until after the election next fall His motto
is Enforce the law. 1t is understood that II
was on that platform that he accepted the port
folio from Colonel Mcclellan Fritz Lindinger
and his German saIoonkeepers who went almost
bodily over to Tammany because OF hatred OF
General Greene have been tricked by Murphy.
Mcclellan, Murphy and Delany, fearful OF the
hostility of District Attorney Jerome. decided
that it would not do for year at least to make
the town wide open" In spite of the protests
OF the SuIlivans who yesterday declared again
and again that McAdoo would not get the place,
the Murphy machine decided to put at the head
Of the Police Department a man who would en-
force the law, or try to. 1t was decided that II
there should be any letting down" on the part
of the police District Attorney Jerome would at
once begin making trouble all along the line.
and that Tammany would lose all the prestige 1t
has gained with the voters.
Men close TO Murphy said last night that Com
missioner RcAdoo and lpIs deputy commissioners
would enforce the law until after the election
next fall and then if the Commissioner should
show an unwillingness to let things drop into
the oil free and easy rut favored by the graft
ers' he would be forced out by the Mayor and
Murphy, and the right kind OF a commits
sioner would succeed him.
Incidentally this plan is in harmony with the
views of the Democratic leaders in Washing
ton, who have cautioned Colonel Mcclellan about
the danger. from national point of view. in al
lowing things to drop back into the old rut until
after the next national campaign.

not what McAdoo wants. He will take his
