Mrs Hall went into the store of w. & ].

in the hanson 1t belonged to the New-York
Transportation Company, and was in charge Of
James Doris of No. I21 West S6th-st
While she was awaiting Mrs. Halls return the
vehicle got out OF order and Doris bent under
it to find out the trouble
There was a burr and buzz. and the machine
started down Broadway at a furious clip. 1t
careened around the front of a southbOund car
on two wheels. stopped within a couple of inches
of the west sidewalk, and then reeled back to
the other side of the street There it swung
to the left and ran straight down Broadway
far 1Ith-st.. scraping close to wagons and
streetcars.
At 1Ith-st. the running gear got reversed by
some jar and the machine started back up
Broadway, playing tag with everything in the
road. Between 1Sth-st. and 19th-st. it stopped
for moment of itself and Doris made a dive
half way across the street. But before he could
jump aboard or Mrs Coats could jump out the

two cabs up the sidewalk to escape In its

hurdles and running up the three marble steps

wound dressed. The boy and the woman
were attended by ambulance surgeon from
New-York Hospital and sent home.
The police placed Doris under arrest while
he was trying to find words to give his opinion
of the machine. The latter was not scratched
and had only broken rear spring to show for
its wild adventures Mrs Hall called later at the
Tenderloin station to bail Doris. but did not do
it, Later representative OF the cab company

RUSSIANS CONFIDENT.
An admiral ETpects Decisive Action
Near Japan's Coast.

St. Petersburg. April 17-An admiral ex-
pressed to-day the firm conviction that Admiral
Togo would not give battle near the Pescadores.
He said:
1t would be a great tactical error to concen-
trate his squadron 500 miles from Japan and
run the risk of having ROjestvensky slip by
when by remaining in home waters ROjest-
Vensky must come to him in order TO reach his
only base. VIadivOstOk
All the Toxic dispatches about the procIama-
tiOn OF martial law in the Pescadores and the
probable presence OF a Japanese squadron in
FOrmoSan waters sent as blinds We do
not know ROiestvensky's plans, but we have
complete confidence in his TesOuFcefulness. He
labors under a disadvantage as far as the speed
OF his vessels is concerned, but the reports Of
the condition OF his ships and crews and their
target practice are better than We considered
possible. We firmly believe he has more than
chance Of whipping Togo in an open fight.
The news that vessels of the Russian squad
ron have put into kamranh Bay. north OF Cape
Padaran. bears out previous reports that Adj
miral ROjestvensky probably would seek shelter
of that part OF the COchin-China coast and
there coal and make his final preparations be-
fore starting on the final stage Of his Journey.
No definite information is Obtainable as to the
length of the squadron's stay at Kamranh Bay.
Among naval men the idea that Admiral Ro-
jestvensky has divided his squadron is not en-
tertained

titled to the exclusive of a hydrant the
home Of Byron r. Bacon, of South PrOspect-st..

that the water failed altogether. After a whie

TO GUST INSPECTORS.
Hopper Finds Them Guilty of Neg
ligence IN Recent COlIapses.

At least three and perhaps six inspectors re-
sponsible for neglect of duty in failing to make
proper reports on the buildings which collapsed
in Harlem three weeks ago will be dismissed
from the Buildings Bureau.
Superintendent Hopper has tried them and
found that they were grossly negligent. The re-
port of Borough President Ahearn's commission,
Messrs. Eidlitz, Brady and Just. severely con-
demnng the inspection work, has made it i'm
possible for the men to hold their jobs Mr..
Hopper called Charles F. Murphy at Tam
many Hall yesterday, and told him that, while
some Of the inspectors were personal friends
of his, they would have to go. the entire
mana cement of the Buildings Bureau would be
under suspicion if they should be continued. Mr.
Murphy told Mr. Hopper that it was con-
Germ of his, and that if the had failed to
do their work they ought to be dismissed. The
friends Of some of the men have advised them
to resign.
Borough President Ahearn yesterday received
from the Master Builders Association a letter
telling him that the association had approved
the recommendations made by the special COM
mittee appointed by Mr.. Ahearn TO investigate
the collapses. and had appointed Thomas ].

NEW MORTGAGE TAX PLAN
TO RETURN BILL PASSED.
Governor and Senator Raines Ar
range for AnOtker Measure.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE rRIBuNz.I


Albany. April IA new mortgage tax bill Is
to be drafted to take the place Of that which
has already passed the legislature and is awaiting
the signature Of the Governor. The first step
will be taken tomorrow, when a joint resOlu-
tion will be passed by both branches Of the legis
lature asking the Governor to return the Mort
gage Tax bill. When this has been returned 70
the legislature, both Senators Raines and Malby
agree that a new BILL exemptlng building and
loan associations and changed in certain mate
rial ways TO make mortgage tax more easily
enforceable. will be introduced. The new bin
will then be pressed. If it passes it viii so to
the Governor. who will sign it. If it fails the
present measure will be sent to him again. and
he will sign that and leave to the next legis
lature the work Of dOctoring up the weak points
of the existing bill
This plan decided after a cOnsulta-
ton between Governor Higgins and Senator
Raines to-day. The theory is that the changes
will, on the whole. be in the line OF Tightening
rather than strengthening the effect Of the bill
and therefore will not be opposed by the infiu-
ences and interests which have criticised and
objected to the present bill. particularly as the
Legislature has always in hand a club the
present bill. It is presumed that the Stock
Transfer bill, now in the Governors hands will
be signed either tomorrow or Wednesday. when
the TIME limit expires and the bill would be-
come law automatically.
