REPORTERS HELP OUT HYMEN.
Dull Day at City Hail Relieved by Assisting
Couple TO Get Married,


Couple 20 Get Married.
In the heavy shower late yesterday
afternoon a young man and woman,
both prosperous looking, jumped into
the City Hall and asked for an Alderman.
AS IL was q civic holiday the only room
open was that set apart for the newspaper
men.
we want TO get married, said the young
woman, "and we would be awfully obliged
II you would find an Aldermen for US
The reporters we're interested and vowed
that they would find an Aldermen or die
in the attempt. Messengers and tele-
phones were used without avail until at
last II was learned that Alderman Ike
Marks was in his ofioe at 81 Park row.
He refused 10 60 through the rain 10 the
City Hall and the young woman decided
that they would rush to Mr.. MArkss once
without waiting until the rain stopped.
After Mr.. Marks had married them the
bridegroom pulled out q big roll Of bills
and began giving out money In generous
st yle. To the bootblack Of the City Hall
who had piloted them 10 Alderman Marks
he gave a dollar. He distributed money
10 the clerks who acted as witnesses and
handed a twenty-dollar fee 70 Marks.
The man said he was Francis A. Cuddihy
Of 80 Waumbeek street Boston. The bride
sad her name was Lillian Mailman, but she
refused to gt- 'er address beyond stating
that she was resident Of this city. Prom
some remarks they made explaining things
TO the Alderman the impression was gained
that the bride belonged 70 some theatrical
company.

AIBAHH, April 2i.-Gov. Higgins and the
committee OF general agents OF the Equita-
be Life Assurance Society were not able to
come TO an agreement to-day az 20 a oourse
OF action 10 be pursued in furthe ring the
naturalization OF the Equitable. although
they had meeting in the Capitol which ap-
paared pleasing 20 both the Governor and
the agents. The agents asked that le gis-

replied that he was In hearty accord with
them, but he doubted that what they desired
could be brought about in the way they
suggested. He thought that this change
would have 10 ooms through the courts.
The agents met Gov. Higgins at the Ex-
ecutlve Chamber late this afternoon. The
agents were grouped about the Cove NOR,
and Mr.. MoNamee, In a few ords, stated tho

Denies the Charges and says There's

Tammany Politician and bartender
WASHINGTON, April 2i.-SecretaTy Hitch
cock to-day ordered the dismissal Of Fred
H. Wilson, financial clerk, and for some
time acting superin tendent Of the Indian
warehouse In New York city. Il was an
nounced this morning that Wilson had been
suspended, and the announ cement OF his
dismissal was made later In the day.
Indian Inspector Charles F. Nesler was
detailed some time ago TO make an investi-
CATION Of Wilson's office, and he reported
10 Secretary Hitchcock. three or four days
ago, that bad state Of Affairs existed In
the Indian warehouse. Inspector Nesler
thereupon preferred charges against VII
son, and the accused ofioer, on being con-
fronted with the charges, denied them.
Secretary Hitchcock was unwilling TO
accept the denial. however, and the order
for his dismissal followed.
The charges preferred by Inspector
Nesler represent that the payroll under
Wilson's charge was padded, the list con-
tanning twice as many names as the service
warranted. The investigator found that
several persons were drawing pay from the
Government who performed no services,
among them being Tammany politician
and bartender. Special Agent Nesler also
represented that Wilson was actively en-
gagged in politics and that he spent good
deal OF his time in Albany instead Of attend
ing TO his official duties.
Seven employees Of the Indian warehouse
have been ordered dismissed, but their
names have not been made public.
Frederick H. Wilson lives at 1853 West
Eghtieth street. He was notified on
Wednesday that he had been suspended.
Mr.. Wilson has been in charge Of the Indian
Warehouse, at ii9 Wooster street. for the
past three years at a salary Of s., 900 a year.
He has been in the department six years,
and previous 10 taking charge here he was
a purchasing agent in Indian Territory and
in Chicago.
Mr.. Wilson said last night that he didn't
care 10 say much at this time about his
suspension except that there was politics
in II and that others wanted his job.
From May to September Is our busy
season getting in supplies for the Indians,

Plot OF the Cretan Insurgents DltcONereo

Special Cable DespGiehss 10 TIE SUN.
CANRA Crete, April l.-Considerable
excitement has been occasioned here by
rImor that the insurgents plotted 20 hdnap
Prince George, the High Commissioner,
and convey him TO their headquarters at
Therisso. The story appeared in the news
papers Of Athens whence it reached here.
The international commanders seem 10
believe there IL some foundation for the
report, and are distributing their troops
accordingly.
The action Of the Chamber Of Deputies
in taking the oath Of allegiance TO Greece
has created administrative chaos. The
officials are asking anXiously whether
Greece or Crete will pay their salaries. The
customs officers are trying to apply the
Greek tariff instead Of the Cretan.
VIENNA, April Pit Is strongly sus-
pected that Prince George and his secre-
tary encouraged the decision OF the Cretan
Chamber to declare a union with Greece.
II is believed in diplomatic circles that
the Powers will ignore the Chambers
resolution. It is known that Greco will
not attempt to occupy the island, and
that the Cretans are unable to enforce
their decision.
The main object Of the opposition Of
the Powers Is 10 prevent dangerous
awakening Of the Balkan question. 1t is
fully believed If they sanctioned Turkeys
Acknowledgement by the removal Of Crete
Bulgaria would Immediately declare her
Independence and occupy Macedonia.
Turkeys fear Of Russia, which has been
materially reduced by the latter's enfeeble-
ment. would not operate to prevent the
Sultan from declaring war against Bull
garia, and the long threatened Near Eastern
horror would be gin.

HAVANA, April 2l.-The Liberals have
decided not TO make the demonstration that
was proposed for Sunday. This is the result
Of a series OF conferences with President
Palma, who urged that the demonstration
be abandoned on the ground that it might
cause a disturbance. The President as
sured the Liberal deputation that visited
him that he was not prompted by political
motives in advising the abandonment or
by the action Of the Ayuntamiento. He
added that he would leave the investigation
Of the Ayuntamiento TO Gov. Nunez, who
would replace any Of the councilmen who
were removed by the Liberals.
The Liberals are therefore waiting for tho
outcome, Meanwhile they express them
selves as satisfied with the action Of the
President.
Congress has held no sess ion this week,

STOP WHISTLE BLOWING
POLICE TO PUT AN END TO AN
NoYANCE.
Complained of by Resident of South
east Section of City-Regulation
on the Subject.

The blowing of whistles by engineers
upon the steam railroad trains is to be
stopped by the police. The District Com
missioners and Maj. Sylvester read the edi-
toral printed In Thursdays Star calling
their attention to the fact that the enforce
ment of the law might be of benefit to the
thousands of persons who are constantly
annoyed by the noises. Mr.. r. p. Miller,
a resident of the southeast section of the
city, in communication printed In Thurs
days Star. called attention to the great
nuisance and annoyance by the use OF
whistles upon the railroad in his section.
He Is only one of many persons. however,
who have been similarly annoyed and who
have spent many sleepless nights because
the engineers have been permitted TO vlo-
late the law without fear of being prose-
cuted. The law covering the question says:
Police Regulation.
mo bell, gong, horn, whistle. drum or
other noise-making article, instrument or
device shall be struck or sounded in any
of the places mentioned In section of ar
ticle of these regulations for any pur-
pose whatsoever except as provided in sec
ton 2 of article 10 of these regulations:
provided. that street cars may continue the
strike gong at every street crossing and
where otherwise required to give warning;
and bicycles, tricycles and motor vehicles
shall sound a suitable bell or gong when
necessary to warn persons of their ap
proach."
The places referred to as being mention
ed in article l of section s include any
street, avenue. alley. highway footway,
sidewalk. parking or other public space.
Having had their attention attracted to
the failure to enforce the police regula-
lions in this respect. the regulation which
prohibits the blowing of horns In the cele-
bration of the Christmas holidays, the
Commissioners and chief of police saw no
way out of the matter except to direct that
the ordinance must be obeyed. In order to
accomplish this end an order was sent out
by Maj. Sylvester yesterday to his several
lieutenants to have their men see that per-
sons who violate the section quoted are
brought into court and prosecuted.
