NEW GUNS FOR INFANTRY USE
Inventions of Danish Lieutenant To Be
Shown by Him at Springfield Arsenal

Lieutenant J. T. SchOubo. of the Sd Danish In
fantry. and inventor of several improved pieces
of ordnance arrived the EtrUTia yesterday, with
two new types of rifles which he is to show to
United States Army officers at the Springfield Ar
senal One is a self-oading rifle of the same size
weight and general appearance as the Krag-JOr
gensen rifle. and the other is mitrailleuse. dis
charging fifteen shots second, and weighing only
six and half kos (about fourteen and One-half
pounds The most striking feature about this
machine gun is that it may be operated by sol
der lying prone beneath it, ard thus presenting
little or nothing a target for the enemy.
The improved rifle fills its cartridge chamber au-
tomatically, Orce the clip of cartridges has been
introduced a regular Krag-Jorgensen cartridge
being used The recoiI of the first shot throws open
the chamber eJects the empty cartridge and forces
a fresh one into the chamber before the trigger
can be pulled again. The election of the empty
shell and the reloading practically smultane-
Gus with the release Of the trigger. The breech
mechanism is simple consisting of only three
screw necessary to hold the parts together The
steel removable in a second, and which gives an
appearance of considerable weight to the piece
To take down and assemble the parts is the work
of a second and soldier who has mastered the
intricaces of the old Springfield the Krag can
handle the Danish leutenants rifle after having
its workings shown to hm~Once.
The arm is being tested in the field at the
present time by the German, French and Danish
armies. 1t Will be submitted to the Board of Ord
nance at Springfield the coming week.

O'CONNOR IMPORTS MEN.
Prospect of Extra Dry Sunday in
TenderIOin.

Because his regular staff of detectives number
ing twelve. has become well known in the Ten
derloin that it is of little to him in securing
evidence Captain OConnor has imported ten
plain clothes from various other precincts
of Manhattan. with whom he hopes for better sue
cess. That his regular staff has altogether
too well known to the poolroom proprietors and
others against whom Captain O'Connor is seek
ing evidence was forciby demonstrated last week.
especially when Detective Mooney Thursday was
thrown out of an alleged poolroom in West Thirty
fourth-st. run under the guise of a social and
athletic club. After counting thirty-four persons
entering the place, Mooney applied for admission
himself. The alleged proprietor, J. Moran who
bounced" Mooney, discharged by Magistrate
Flammer in Jefferson Market police court Friday.
and Moran secured a warrant from the magistrate
against Mooney for false arrest The case comes
up tomorrow.
Notwithstanding his failure Captain O'Connor

and counting more than who entered, the
detective rang tho bell for admission Moran came

which, he said. was then holding a regular meet

Moran slammed the door in his face. Mooney con-
tnued his ringing for admission and finally two
men to the door and told him that If he did
not go away they would do him up. Mooney then
desisted from further effort to Investigate the do
irgs inside the club.
Similar failures in Investigations of places of a
suspicious nature have caused Captain O'Connor to

J. w. Brannan, president of the board of trustees
of Bellevue Hospital yesterday announced that GER
tain difficulties which had been encountered in con-
nection with the acquisition of the block of land
between Twenty-eighth and Twenty-ninth SITS
running down to the East River had been over
come, and that the way was clearer for the
Department Of Charities to acquire the land
The difficulties centred particularly about the pier
which the city owns at Twenty-eighth-st. and the
dumping ground for the Street Cleaning Depart
ment at Twenty-ninth-st. It was desirable that
these places should continue to be maintained vet
their continued presence meant that the elaborate
plans for the hospital could not be carried ont
in their entirety
Repeated consultations were had among Mr.
Brannan, Dock Commissioner Hawkes. and Street
Cleaning Commissioner Woodbury. in an effort to
find way out Of the difficulty. At last after close
scrutiny of the official maps of the CITY il was
found that the city had dock rights at Twenty
Linth-st., and that the dumping ground for the
Street Cleaning Department could be moved up T.
block to Thrtieth-st. With this discovery the So
luton of the difficulty had been found and so Mr.
Brannan was able to announce yesterday
A short time ago the Board of Aldermen autbor
lied condemnation proceedings begun to acquire
the Twenty-eighth and Twenty-ninth st block
The principal building at present standing on it is
the power house of the United Electric Light and
Power Company. The company offered to sell to
the city its rights in the property for 81 100 900
This was considered too high a price. and the con-
acquisition of this property will remove nusa nee

of black smoke, which permeated the hospital

the hospital about October 1t Is planned TO start
building at the northern end of the site. AS soon
as one building is ready for occupancy one of the
old ones will be torn down, and so on, until all the
old buildings have been removed. Mr. Brannan said

cepted $125,O00 in settlement of their claims
Soon afterward they began the suit now pend
ing asserting that Mrs. Oelrichs and Mrs. van
derbilt had deceived them by representing that
Mr. Fair had survived his wife. whereas she
had lived some minutes longer than he did.
Witnesses from France were examined before
ex-Justice Keener in support of this contention
