Through the death of a four-months-old
child, which Charles Muller, who lives at
2S8 Howard avenue, Brooklyn, was carrying
to the Bushwick Hospital for medical treat
ment early yesterday morning, the exist
ence Of an alleged baby farm in Muller's
home was discovered by the police Of the
Ralph avenue station. The child belonged
to Mamie Denigre, a domestic in the EN-
ploy of a physician on McDonough street.
The child was given into the care OF
Muller's wife. They moved into the
Howard avenue dwelling only recently.
When Muller reached the hospital with
the child the physicians discovered that
the infant was dead and they Immediately
notified the police.
Policeman Plant was sent out to in
vestigate. When he reached Muller's house
Muller's wife informed him that another
infant, 8 months old, whose mother is a
Mrs. Murphy, also a domestic in a physi-
clans horne, had died a shor while before.
A third child, belonging to a seventeen
year-old girl, was very i'll and was later
removed to the Convent of Mercy in
Brooklyn.

Ralph avenue police station under section 2so
Of the Penal Code, which makes it a crime
for any person to board children under
the age Of ~ years, not their w relatives,
without a permit. Muller was arraigned
later in the Gates avenue police court

mon ses against Mrs. Muller and the mothers

MURDER AND NO PENALTY.
Recorders Comment on Two Cases-W1t
nesses Spirited Away.

sLast Friday said Recorder Gof in
the General Sessions yesterday, Il was COM
PEELED to discharge a man accused of muir
der, and the admitted facts were these:
Two men we're seen together by a police
man. One man fell and the other ran
The policeman ran to the man who had
fallen and found he had received nine stab
wounds in the body and the knife with
which the stabbing was done was sticking
in his body. The officer drew out the
knife and pursued the man who ran and
caught him. There we're blood stains on
the prisoners hands.
at is lamentable that such things should
occur in the heart Of the city and no one
be held for the crime. 1t is ~lamentable
that in this community with its boosted
civilization and multiplicity Of laws and
law officers a man accused OF crime can
escape without even the form or a trlal.
The Grand Jury was justified in discharging
him, no doubt. hut in my opinion 1t be-
tokens gross negligence and incompetency
somewhere that a brutal murder like tina
should take place and no one be brought to
Justice .
James j. Keneagh, who was indicted
for murder In the first degree, was brought
before the Recorder. He was accused OF
killing Patrick D. Morgan IN a saloon fight,
That was eight months ago. His counsel
obtained from Judge O'Sullivan on March
% an order that unless Keneagh was tried
before April 10 he should be discharged.
"ln this case" said the Recorder, 4.the
District Attorney is unable to proceed to
trial, / do not say that 1t Is because OF
delay or negligence-I am simply COM
m~enting on the facts. Under the order
Of Judge O'Sullivan l can do nothing else
but discharge the prisoner. He may be
innocent but the Grand Jury found enough
evidence to indiot him"
Assistant District Attorney Mott ex-
planned that several important witnesses
had been spirited away and that without
them there was no case against kencagh.
Every effort to get them back had been
unsuccessful.

Iacruche refused, declaring that the bishop,
as we'll as himself, desired nothing else
but the punishment Of the criminals. ,
THE meal over, the Mandarin retired

PILOTS RESIST NEW RULES.
Ask Courts to Say That Port Wardens Have
Gone Beyond Their Powers.

Gone Beyond Their Powers.
The new pilot regulations for He'll Gate,
put into effect on April o by the Board Of
Port Wardens, are not altogether approved
by the Sound pilots and one Of them.
Isaac N. Stillwell. has obtained from Su-
preme Court Justice Scott a writ of certio-
rari for the review Of the regulations.
Pilot Stillwell says that behind the change
10 the regulations is an attempt to change
the whole He'll Gate system Of pilotage.
Under the new rules there Is to be only one
pilot boat, Of twenty-five tons net. at the
He'll Gate pilot station, while under the
former rules, authorized by the act Of 1882,
there have been two or more boats OF twenty
tons net. The new boat ia to be known as
the station boat.
Stillwell also takes exception to the new
rule that the inside station Is to be fixed
at City Island and the outside station at
a three mile radius from Execution Rock.
The new rules also increas the penalties
that pilots may incur.
The change in the rules, Stillwell says,
Ia illegal and unconstitutional, as inter-
fefing with his mean of livelihood as q
pilot and as In violation OF previously ex-
listing laws which ave not been repealed
or amended.
Justice Scott examined Stillwell's papers
and remarked in granting the writ that
there seemed to be some doughtasto whether
the proposed regulations do not go too far,
or at least beyond the authority vested
In the Board Of Port Wardens by law.

They were members OF the Richmond

that the mental examination had to do
with matters entirely foreign TO the work

Justice Maddox said:
Some Of the questions propounded have
nothing whatever to do with the duties OF
a fireman and are OF a character TO create a
doubt as TO whether the scheme for the
appointment for fitness and merit Ia being
