HOPPER ASKS FREEDOM.
If Reoppointed, mn insist on HaO-
ing No Interference.

Isaac A Hopper. Superintendent of Buildings,
was asked yesterday whether he expected to be
reappointed on January l. and in response he made
a statement as to his attitude in the matter.
Mr.. Hopper has been much wearied by the raillery
to which he has been subjected since the publication
Of story that he vaulted over a box rail at the
West End Theatre, where his club had theatre
party last Wednesday night. and danced about the
stage with an actress He denounces the story as
absolutely false. The statement made by Mr..
Hopper is as follows:
really do not know whether shall be roap-
pointed or not. I will say this, however, that If l
do remain here it will be condition that the in
tention the charter be carried out, and that as
Superintendent of Buildings, will be left free
carry the building laws and ordinances with
out any interference such we had last spring
by the President Of the Borough.
The charter puts the responsibility Of the seec-
ton OF the Superintendent of Buildings on the
Borough President but the responsibility for car
rying out the law rests entirely with the fncun-
bent OF this office, who would be the to be con
vcted and punished for neglect or improper eXecu-
ton of the duties devolVfng upon him.
The office of Superintendent of Buildings Is the
most important appointment in the borough To
hold the position, the charter requires ten years
axDerieuce as an architect builder. No Other
pIace IN the gift of the Borough President has any
such specic requirement. This bureau is full OF
hard work. great responsibilities, and the ofce
OF superintendent should be filed by a man VINO
knows his business and has the confidence OF the
public. He should not be interfered with IN the
details Of the work of thel lottice.

Scott, OF Jamaica, Long Island, special po-
!icenan ON guard at the building. Scott seemed
likely to be killed, but the police arrived IN

Policeman Frank Meriwether. of the West Goth

AS far as could be learned, the trouble began
by the three men entering the 14th-st entrance
of the building and calling Scott abusive names
Scott ordered them out and attempted to en-
force his order. when he was knocked down by
Marks and all three began kicking and strtk-
ing him He struggled to his feet and fought
in self-defence, the four men struggling to the
sidewalk A large crowd collected and Police
man Meinranken, hearing the noise, rushed to
the building. where he found Scott on the
ground and the three men kicking him He
called on the three to surrender. but they closed
with him and he had to call people in the
crowd to assist him. Lynch had to be dubbed
almost into inconsistencies before he would
submit
The reserves Of the West 20th-st. station had
to be called to bring about order. The three
prisoners were placed formally under arrest on
charges of assault. and Lynch was taken to the
New-York Hospital a prisoner. Scott was also
taken to this hospital

session yesterday of the annual meeting of the

Teachers Professor Thomas Crowder Chamberlain,
of the University OF Chicago, outlined his recently
announced 'accretion theory OF the earth's origin.
This If accepted by scientists, would overthrow
the so-called ''nebular hypothesis and dc away
with most Of the ideas commonly held concerning
the origin Of the earth and the other planets.
According to the ''nebular hypothesis, or Laplace
theory which has been held for more than CEN

were masses of molten matter thrown off from the
sun by its whfrling motion and gradually cooled
to their present condition. This theory Protessor
Chamberlain attacks the assumption that tn9

Professor Chamberlain's theory is that a dis

proach of, or collision with some other 6ofy. ,1S
which drew off projections of nebulous matter
from the sun and gave them rotary motion oy rs
