BINGHiW No FIGr REHEaD.
Denies lie Told a BROOKLYN Clergy man 80
The Law Ills OnlN LImIt aiIOn.

Police Commissioner Bingham denied
yesterday the truth OF a reported con-
verSatlon with him by a de eSation Of
Brooklyn clergymen nearly two weeks ago,
as related 10y the Rev. DR.. Edwin Niles of
Brooklyn 10 the Brooklyn Boa rd of Trade
on Friday evening. The delegation, Accord
ing TO DIR. Niles, had gone TO see the Com
missioner about suppressing Sunday night
concerts in theatres.
DR.. Niles was quoted as ga wing that Com
missioner Bingham said his hands we're
tied, and that if the clergymen wanted his
policy changed they woull ha ve TO get a
new law passed by the Lcgisla ture making
him an actual police commissioner. Then
At was reported that the Commissioner said.
Il am an army officer and / take and obey
my orders. When | came here I thought |
was Police commissioner 1t took me only
two weeks TO find out I was only a figure
head or p rubber stamp"
Gen Bingham said that he could recall
little about the visit of the clerRymen and
could not remember DR.. Niles. He said
he thought he might have said that new
legislation would have 10 he secured to close
up Sunday theatres, in view of the attitude
of the Magistrates on the present law. but
he denied that he had ever said that he was
only a figure head in the department or a
rubber stamp.
1T is absolutely false" he said. when
| am not Police Commissioner | won't be
coming down here every day"
DIR. Niles is pastor Of the Bushwick Avenue
Dutch Reformed Church 81 in BROOKLYN. When
his attention was called yesterday TO Gen,
Bingham's denial he declared that he had
not used the words rubber stamp on Friday
night in speaking of Gen. Bingham, but had
said the rest He added:
Gen Bingham told us that his hands were
tied and that he did not have full control
of the Police Department. He said he
could not discharge anybody under him
because the courts interfered."
DR.. Niles said the interview took place
a week ago last Tuesday.

clever Devices which Can Br Made WIN a
.Dackknife.

One of the ommonest feats with the
iackknife il 70 cut a chai n out Of a single
niece of wood. This il not di-,cult and
forms therefore an excellent design with
which to begin.
In making the chain a Eiece Of wood is
first trimmel into the form Of a cylinder.
or roller. rerhaps an inch in diameter and
a. long "a the chain is to be six or eight
inches in length. A piece OF broom handle
will do very we'll.
In this cylinder four deep, long burrows
are then cut in such a way that the end of
the block. instead of being round. now
looks like a Cross with four equal arms,
each arm being the eni T a long rib that
extends lengthwise al)nG the block.
The next step, says the Rosary ..-dgdTne,
il 10 cut notche' in the ribs n equaldis-
tance5 from each other an IN such a way
that in each rib the n1tches shall corre-
spond exactly 10 th)se Of the opposite rib,
while in two other ribs the nDtclc5 alternate
with these.
The position and general form Of the links
in the chain SHOULD now be apparent, and
one may begin - hollow out the mule OF
each of them. To do tai' a h)le shDIll be
cut through one Of the still s)li ! Inks.
When this has been dono with two Of
them successfully il will be found that
they are connected only by a small bridge
Of wood, and this may he cut away very
easily. due care being taken neither 10 cut
nor split any Of the inks in the process.
As soon as these links are loose they can
be readily rounded and smoothed. as well
as trimmed as slender as may be desired.
Another design, which is scarcely more
difficult than the chain. il the ball in a cage.

James Peed, m Of two men arrested
early yesterday morning charged with

found to be a walking arsenal. Dist rihuted

wood, perhaps an inch and a half square
and three inches long.
The frame or cage is designed first. and
the lower part OF it's interior is left solid TO
form the material for tho ball. When
the general form Of the frame has been
completed the ball may he gradually
rounded into shape and finally cut loose
from tho enclosing frame. care being taken
not TO trim II TOO small, for II il should roll
out the whole point Of the performance
would be missed,
A similar design. a little harder to make.
Is a ball within a spherical cage. OF. as il
may be called, a ball within a ball. The
cage consists Of three connected circles
meeting each other at right ANGLES. Between
these circles there are eight large triangu-
Jar openings, through which one con sPe the
ball inside.
To make this design n piece Of wood is
first trimmed into n sphere about an inch
ana a hall in diameter, and the outlines of
the eight triangular openings should he
traced upon its surface with n pencil. When
tins has been done each Of the ~triangles
ought to be very neatly dug out i'm the
form of a shallow pit about a quarter Of an
lnch IN depth. This il the hard part Of
the task. but with a sharp knife il is not
particularly difficult. as the rounded form
OF the ball enables one to cut from different
directions.
II will now be found that the circles stand
out upon the surface. and il only remains
TO cut away d little Of the wood under them
IN order 10 loosen the ball inside. The
rounding Of the ball and smoothing Of the
rage can then he accomplished with little
trouble.
A bell with a movable clapper involves
some ingenious whiting. The clapper
and the rod upon which il will hang must
both he cut out of the solid block from
which the bell has been formed. and the
great difficulty Of the design is in making
the little ring AZ the upper end Of the clapper
so that it will hang loosely upon the cross
rod.
