ARCHITECT SUES HOWARD GOULD.
Four Years. He says, In Drawing Plans
None OF Which Was Used.

MINEoLA. l.. l., June s.-The case of
Abner j. Haydel an architect, against
Howard Gould for 500 900 damages, which
he claims to be due him for services, was set
down for Monday next by Judge keogh
to-day.
Mr.. Haydel is suing Howard Gould for
four years services in drawing plans and de-
signs for a house for the Goulds at Port
Washington. to be known as Castlegould
Mr.. Haydel says he went to Ireland at the
request OF the Goulds to make photographs
and measurements Of Kilkenny Castle
He says he was able to get these photographs
and measurements only after considerable
difficulty. He says the Warehouses of Or
monde. who owns Kilkenny Castle, told
him that he could take the photographs
as an architect. but not as the representa-
tive Of the Gonlds, who visited Kilkenny
in his company. ---...r
Mr.. Haydel finally returned to America
and began work on the plans for the Gould
castle. He says he has drawn 100 sets
OF plans, none Of which. he says. seemed
to meet with the approval OF Mrs. Gould.
Mr.. Haydel says he was compelled to aban-
don the pro ject after four years Of hard work.
as practically nothing had been accom-
plished toward building the house.
Hayde then brought suit for his four
years services. which he valued at 500 900.

no proof of any one having been killed,

day was Capt. James l.. Lehman OF the
tugboat r. A. Sumner from Perth Amboy.

Jersey City, when man yelled to him that
he had run down some one. He found two
oars floating and 40 gave himself up.
Magistrate Wahle refused to hold him.
"You are discharged. said he. mo one

yourself admit that you don't know. Any
way, you we're really outside the jurisdiction
Of the court, as you say you were in New

FORTy-FIyETIpSTERS ARRESTED
winner Picters In Hard Luck--Say They'll
Get Pedicrs' Licenses.

The racetrack tipsters were raided
Yesterday and forty-fve OF them were
bagged and locked up in the Coney Island
station. Capt Dooley and his men made
the raid acting under instructions from
Inspector Cross, who had received many
complaints from racegoers and also from
the Jockey Club.
Tipsters are as thick as flies at every
race meeting and their special camping
ground is just outside the gates to the race
tracks. They have appeared to be more
numerous than ever at Gravesend, fully
a hundred turning up there on the opening
day. They we're both black and white,
and tips could he bought as low as dime.
Their financial return hasn't been very
heavy, for the average racegoer steers
clear of the professional tipster That
makes the tipsters hustle all the more for
customers and they have become nuisance.
| They are often abusive when their tips are
not bought They hang on to racegoers
like professional beggars and every one
has had to run the gantlet before he could
get into the track
II was shortly before the first race was
called Yesterday that Capt. Dooley and his
men descen ded on them. The moment the
tipsters got wise to what was doing they
ran in all directions. Forty-ive were cor
raed in a few minutes, but fully as many
got away. None Of those who escaped
appeared again during the day. II they
had they would have been arrested.
/ There we're five patrol wagon loads Of
tipsters in the crowd arrested, They
werc charged with peddling without 9 H.
cense. They will he are gned in the Coney
Island police court to-day. None of them
obtained bail. The more prosperous say
! they will Immediately take out pcders'
| )icen ses if licenses are necessary TO give
them the privilege to sell tips
The police threaten to arrest other tip
sters to-day.

visory Board" body designated to aid
and advise him in all matters pertaining to
municipal business affairs, Ten days ago
Mayor Weaver minated that he would
take such step. but until he made the an
nouncement from his Office late this after
noon there was no inkling as to the make
up Of the board. The Mayor had previously
announced that 1t would be in no sense a
political move, but it is regarded as signifl-
cant that those appointed have figured
largely in town meetings and the like as
ardent supporters Of the Mayor The mem
bers of the board are;
John H. Converse Of the Baldwin Loco
motive Works, William Potter, former
Minister to Italy; Hugo Mccartney, presi-
dent of the Mccartney File Works; Ru-
dolph Blankenburg, Charles Emory Smith.
former Postmast ar General; Walter r.

III ents came the following statement from
the Mayor:
MY purpose is to consult these men
from now on during the balance Of my
term on all municipal business matters
There are many problems which arise
from time to time upon which l will be
glad to receive the advice Of such men.

broad business experience, and expect to
get great help from them will send out
u notice to them at once asking them to
meet me here at my Office at noon on Mon
day. We will then take up problems OF
finance and kindred matters"
The first problem before the advisory
board will be the question of raising money
for present city needs, such as elevatins
railroad tracks, constructing parkways
and providing for schools 1t had been
proposed to pay for these out of the money
received for the leasing Of the city gas
works, but as this is no longer possible the
Mayor is confronted by Il big financial
problem.
They will also consider the matter Of
dropping a large number of city employees
from the payroll. 1t has been urged since
the beginning of the reform crusade that
many have heen dra wing salaries who are
unnecessary to the city. '- -'
Service on the board is entirely honorary.
All those named by the Mayor have Sig
nihed their willingness to serve.

THE GLARS ATTITUDE.
Doesn't Resent RoOseyeltS Action. but
stu Has Faith In His Army.


Special Gable Dispatcher to THE Sun
ST. PETERSBURG, June s-1t is understood
that the peace movement initiated by Presi-
dent Roosevelt has not encountered any
obstacle at Tsarskoe-Selo and that the
representations made by Ambassador Meyer
will be considered. 1t is reported that
Germany concurs in the action taken by
President Roosevelt.
The markets are steader to-day than
thew have been for months. Satisfaction
is felt that the Government has allowed
foreign Powers to create an opening in the
direction of peace. although the possibility
that the attempt will be without result is
recognized.
Members of the imperial court at Tsarskoe-
Selo who are visiting friends here circulate
an account of the Cars reception OF Presi-
dent Roose velt's communication, which is
accepted as accurate by military society.
In effect il is that the Car thanked the
President for his consideration, addihg
that when the time to consider peace arrived,
which is not at present, he would remember
the opportunity afforded by the offer OF
the Presidents services
These officers also said that the Car had
unsha ken faith in the might OF his army.
He expects long war, but, as shown by his
reception Of Ambassador Meyer, he does not
refuse to recognize the attitude OF the Pow
ers who are DESTROYS Of early peace.

And Comes to Port With Piece OF His Skin
10 Prove II.

BALTIMORE, June 9-Wh lie sailing at n
lively clip last Sunday the pineapple
schooner Rover. from the b ahamas, ran
into big, sleeping whale. The jar threw
the captain out Of his berth, the cook out
Of the galley and the man at the wheel
against the cabin. But for the fact that
the schooner had just been rugged with
new stays she would have been dismasted.
The sea was dscolored with the blood Of
the wounded whale, and on investigating
the captain found that the forefoot of the
vessel had been damaged A heavy bar of
iron at the base Of the bobstays was twisted,
and the cutwater OF the vessel was badly
damaged. Hanging to the iron, and wedged
between it and the vessel when she locked
to-day. was a big piece of skin which had
been torn from the monster.

Reason Sunnyside Canal May Not BE
Bought by Government.


Washington, June 10.--Congress-
man Jones has been informed by the
officials of the reclamation service,
in response to request from him
regarding the proposed purchase of
the Sunnyside canal by the govern
ment. that it is fact that the
Washington Irrigation company has
offered the United States an option
upon the canal and property and
that this option has been under CON
sideration and discussion by the en-
gineers of the service. The option
has not been executed, however. for
the reason that the approval of the
Carey selection of some $1,000 acres
of land in the lower Yakima valley
under the Sunnyside canal has not
been decided by the department.
Mr.. Jones was assured most positive
ly that il this selection is approved
by the department the purchase of
the canal by the government could
not be considered. Up to the pres
ent time conditions have not suffi-
GENTLY developed to justify any pre-
diction as to whether or not the
canal will be purchased by the gov
eminent.

These are the first questions asked
by business men. The SaloOnists
claim you can't build up town with
out their license money. Let us see.
There are four saloons at Hood
River. each paying an annual license
of 5000, or total o. $z,400. How
much do the people pay into the
business? according to the testi-
mony of the president of the nation
al retail liquor dealers association,
the average income of each saloon
is SIS per day. or $5.400 per year.
Four saloons would cost the people
of Hood River and vicinity 1000,
OF net cost. after allowing for the
$1,000 license, of $4,000 pc year.
Every dollar spent for liquor is dol
lar less to be spent at the grocery
store. dry goods store and meat mar
ket. The $4,000 would buy 1850
barrels of flour, or about eight bar
rels for every family in Hood River.
1t would buy 6,400 pairs of SO shoes,
or three pairs annually for each man,
woman and child. 1t would build
nine comfortable homes every year
worth over $4,000 each, to help i'm
prove the town and share the taxes
and house those who would waste
their money on drink were there
open saloons. 1t is needless to add
that, prohibition yields the greatest
good to the greatest number. Ex-
pend the $4,000 annually on pub
lie improvements and how it would
boom the town. And the drinking
class would reap the greatest good
for the expenditure of their money
in these ways rather than for poison
