 New York, July 4.-Despite the ef- forts of very many small boys and even more big fellows, the Fourth of July was comparatively quiet here. More than one hundred boys and young men were arrested for violation of the ordi- nance which forbids the discharge of firearms in the street and the carrying of concealed weapons. Captain Bren- nan, of Harlem, made the Fourth an occasion for gathering in fifty Italians and taking away their weapons. Sev- eral Italians were wounded during the day by pistol shots or daggers.
 Altogether five deaths were recorded in the city as result of the days cell ebration, and the number of accidents reaches into the hundreds.
 It was estimated that more than r. 6O0,O0O fares were collected by the Brooklyn Rapid Transit company.
 Fully one hundred persons of all ages and conditions in life were vic- tims of the Fourth of July celebration in Newark, but no one was fatally hurt. Coney Island had 100000 visitors.
 At the Battery landing of steamers the scenes to-day were in some ways .disgraceful when the crowds tried to get on the small steamers running to Long Branch. Women were crushed and children were torn from their par ents.
 Philadelphia, July Flour persons dead, two probably fatally inquired and more than 200 others wounded is the result of the Independence day celebra- ton in this city up to late tonight.
 The most sensational tragedy of the day was the killing of Michael Cleary by Albert Longren. policeman, while the former was resisting arrest, cleary got iI!to | fight with HI Italian. Long ren stopped the fight and arrested Cleary. A crowd bounced upon the po- liceman and were beating him when he shot into the crowd, killing Cleary.

AMERICAN CREW WINS HEAT
TESTERS OF PHILADELPHIA
 CAPTURE EVENT AT HENLEY.

Defeat Strong Cambridge Crew by
 Length in n Hard Raee--Leanders
 Also Win Their Heat but Not Being
 Pushed Their Time Is Slower Than
 That of the Americans.
 Henley, England, July 4.-The Vesper Boat club of Philadelphia, Pa, won. their first victory to-day, beating Christ college.
 Brilliant weather, great attendance ashore and ahoat, and fair rowing con- ditions marked the opening of Great Britain's annual water festival
 The racing started with the first hn"t of the Grand Challenge cup, in which the Leanders, on whom the British pl.i al! their hopes ,in retaiHsng the trophy in England. won practically as they liked from Jesus college, Cambridge. The Belgians won an easy victory over the Thames Rowing club.
 The big event was the heat in which the Americans defeated a strong Cam bridge collegiate crew. All anticipa- tions regarding to-day's heats for the Grand challenge cup were thus fulfilled except that Christ college gave the Vespers harder row than expected. A slight wind towards the Bucks shore gave the Americans, who had the Berks side, slight advantage. The Vespers got well away led al- most immediately, and at the quarter distance were more than a length in. front, while at the half way post the Americans were leading by two lengths. At that point the Cambridge men made a splendid spurt. and steadily overhaul ed the Philadelphians until there was only length between the bows. The Vespers' stroke quickened, the crew gamely responded and the Americans completed a punishing finish with the advantage of a full boats length in the best time of the three heats. Both crews showed the effects of the sharp struggle. The Americans started with slower stroke than either of the winners of the previous heats, Leander going off at Al and the Belgians at 46, while the Vespers struck 40 to the minute The Philalelphians appeared to be working hard from the outset so that when half the distance had been reached the Cam bridge crew was more easily able to pick up with it's quicker stroke. Great enthusiasm was manifested on the crowded banks of the river through out the entire race nd both crews were warmly cheered.
 Manager Thorn said after the race:
 T am satisfied with the result. The 1 Vespers' had faster opponents than either the Leanders' or Belgfans' as proved by the time of the boats. Coach Dempsey instructed the crew not to 1 beat the Christ college by much. The | Vespers' could have made a consider ably better squirt if necessary" The summary:
 Leander beat Jesus college, Cam bridge, by length and three-quarters. Time, minutes 25 seconds. The Belgian crew beat the Thames
 Rowing club easilp. Time, minutes
 IS seconds.
 Vespers beat Christ college, Cam
 bridge, by a length Time, minutes 12 seconds.

AN OPEN LETTER
TO HIS HONOR, MAToR STUD LET, ETC,

y 4ag gzE Ft 5 4lf Eg E f s3e Concerning the Cases of Police Ofticers Recor and Cooper and the Police
 Commissioners Hearing from Messrs.
 Henry Wade Rogers and George B.
 Martin.
 The following open letter to the mayor was given out at the Union league last evening by Henry Wade. Rogers and George B. Martin:
 July 1, 1905. Hon. John F, studley, Mayor, etc:
 Dear sir: The papers last evening stated that serious charges Had been preferred against Police Officers Recor and Cooper. We understand that these officers have been suspended from duty pending an investigation into their. con- duct, and that hearing is set for to- morrow afternoon.
 As members of the commission ap- pointed last year to Investigate police affairs we have the honor to ask that be permitted tosattend that hearing. It is not necessary at this time to set forth at length the reasons for mak- ing this request.
 The two men against whom the charges are brought were among the more important witnesses who appear ed before the Investigating commissions. They have been members of the force for many years We understand that to this time they have been effective of ficers. The testimony before the com mission reflected severely upon the ad- ministration of police affairs, and it be- came soon after the testimony was giv- en, matter of current talk that it would not be long before a pretext would be found for getting them out of service. The police commissioners before any testimony was taken gave public assur- ance that no man would be punished or prejudiced because of any disclosures he might make.
 It was important, nay, necessary, that this assurance should be given if any real investigation were to take place. It is still more important that
 having been given this promise should
 be observed with the utmost of tiledity. We by no means assume or intimate that the commissioners propose now in the face of all our citizens to show themselves without honor and nnwor- thy of confidence. | At the same time we feel that 1t is
 due to the accused officers that we, to whom their testimony was given should | be present at the hearing on the 1 charges now preferred against them,
 that we may know exactly what it is
 accused have done, or not done. This duty we think we owe not alone to the
 officers but to the city as we'll We have not been able to ascertain that our associate on the commission, ! MT. Harrison, is in the city to-day, so that we might as khim to join with us 1 in this request.
 We have the honor, sir, to be . Respectfully yours, Signed: ! HENRY WADE ROGERS,

Miss Sutton UphOIds Tennis Honor of
 America Alone for One Day.
 London, July 4.-Miss May Sutton, of Pasadena Cal, upheld the honor of the United States alone in the All-England lawn tennis championships at Wimble- don to-day. William A. Larned and William J. Clothier went down to de- feat in the doubles and Holcombe Ward and Beals c. Wright postponed their match against B. H. Smith and Frank L. Riseley. It looks as though Miss Sutton would carry the champion ship. of the United States. She has lit- orally taken the breath from all her op- ponents by her dashing and insistent game, meeting them at all points in speed and genralship. This young American woman is the toast of all the tennis players at Wimbledon.
 The American-Australian match in the doubles was the feature of to+day's play. Notwithstanding their defeat gave their opponents some uneasiness. Norman Brooks and Walter Dunlop, however, outgeneraled the Americans. It was a fine exhibition, but the New Zealanders won on their merits.
 In the finals of the singles Brooks beat Smith, and consequently the championship lies between England and Australia, which in the doubles England, America and Australia are still in the game.
 In the third round of the open mixed doubles R. F. Doherty and Miss Smith beat Holcombe Ward and Miss May Sutton of Pasadena, Cal, GA, 6-4.

OLD DWELLING DESTROYED.
Once a Stopping Place of Lafayette in
 East Haven. Burned.

L1@fCus DuEhGus
 The residence of Benjamin Bowden on Hemingway avenue, East Haven, a few rods below the East Haven green, on the trolley line to Momauguin, was destroyed by fire about Ii o'clock last evening. The residence was a medium sized house, one of the oldest in East Haven, and famous in that town, as it had once been the stopping place over night of the famous Marquis de La- fayette of Revolutionary fame, when he was in that town.
 The Bowden family, it is said, was away last evening, but MT. and Mrs. Michael Ryan, who were left in charge of the house, wer easleep when the fire broke out. A relative of the Ryan's, who was also In the house at the time, was the first of the family to discover the fire, and quickly informing Mr. and Mrs. Ryan, they hurried from the house with their little baby, escaping only just in time.
 The fire was discovered about ii o'clock by passengers on car city bound from the Momauguin. They hast ened into East Haven Center, where they gave the alarm.
 The fire had gained great headway before it was discovered. The firemen saw that it was impossible to save the building and turned their efforts to saving the adjacent buildings in which they were successful.
 Most of the furniture in the house was destroyed. The house was a very old one and the loss will probably not be above $1,000.
