THANKS TO
East Side Merchants Present the Detective
With Engrossed Resolutions.

The East Side Merchants Association
presented yesterday to County Detective
Edward Reardon a handsome set Of resolu-
tions, mounted in a gold frame and encased
in glass. Reardon's photograph, thanked
by American flags, appeared at the head
of the resolutions, which said that the
token was presented to show the apprecia-
ton Of the East Side merchants Of his efforts
to rescue them from oppression.
The presentation was made in the Essex
Market court. Magistrate Walsh presided.
He said that he had always thought East
Side conditions were exaggerated. AS an
Assistant District Attorney, he said, he
prosecuted malefaotors when the cadet
system was broken up, and he was there
fore familiar with East Side conditions
sUpon coming back to the East Side
as a Magistrate he said, Il find conditions
completely changed. I do not think this
is due 80 much to the efforts of any person
as to the character Of the people, who have
come into the East Side to replace. those
who formerly lived there. There is less
serious crime represented in the cases
that come to the Essex Market police court
than in any other court in the city;
The Magistrate congratulated Reardon
upon the work he had done as a county
detective under Mr.. jerome. In replying,
Mr.. Reardon gave much OF the credit for
his work to Mr.. jerome, who had planned
it, he said. Among the other speakers
were Alderman Max Levine, Meyer Schoen-
field, who managed ~Jeron!e's campaign
on the East Side before the last election;
Police Captains sheylin, Murtha and
McDermott. Sergeant Post, Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Marley, Joseph Marcus,
Morris Smerling, F. E. Rosen and other
East Side business men were present. The
entire Essex Market Bar Association was
on hand, including RoSey the Lawyer and
Joe Levy, the Duke OF Essex str eet.

LUTHERAN CEMETERY ROW.
TT ustees Not Ready to Accede to the Lot
Owners Demands.

The lot owners OF Lutheran Cemetery,
who two weeks ago formed an association
to wrest control Of the cemetery from the
present trustees, held another meeting last
night at the Teutonia Assembly Rooms on
Third avenue. It was expected that the
committee Of fifteen, headed by Magistrate
Wahle, appointed to demand an accounting
and other reforms from the trustees, would
AVE finished, but Philip Wagner announced
that the committee could only report
progress.
The committee had a meeting with two
Of the trustees yesterday afternoon at the
Union Square Hotel. But the two trustees
said they appeared as individuals only and
could not speak for the whole board. They
asked for another conference. Mr.. Wag-
ner did not seem hopeful that the trustees
would &C cede to the committees terms.
He infor med the meeting that the two
trustees had assured the committee that
the cemetery would be improved.
The debt Of SS7 300 they said would be
paid when they got the money. The COM
mittee has demanded Of the trustees that q
certified accountant examine their accounts
for years back, that a survey be made to
find the total acreage Of the cemetery, that
the debt be liquidated and that the lot
owners elect a certain number Of the
trustees.
Mr.. Wagner told the meeting that the
present trustees had refused to allow the lot
owners to choose trustees and had placed
every obstacle in their way to voting. BE
said that the Geissenhamer family bought
the ground for 81, 500 an acre and that an
acre when sold in lots brought in 81 900. OF
which they took SIS, 500. There are eighteen
acres left tc be sold.
sThey use our horses and our plant, and
yet when the lots are sold, he said, they
get half the proceeds. OF the other half
$4,000 is spent each year for office expenses
down town. There is one clerk in the office,
and half the time there is nobody there.
On election day they hired a lot OF carriages
to take themselves up from the depot, to
vote against you. and yet they said to-day
that these conditions were all your fault;
The meeting was adjourned until April 20,
when it is expected the committee VIII

MRS. NAY KAY DEAD.
News, Of Mrs. Dennls's Death n Cause OF
the Suicide.

Gnb SUICIDE.
Mrs. May Kay, the young widow from
New Orleans who shot herself Thursday
evening in the Hotel Alabama, died at
II O'Clock yesterday morning in st. Vim
cents Hospital. 1t came out yesterday THAT
the immediate motive which drove her TO
kill herself was the death Of Mrs. Blanche
Turner Dennis, who died that morning.
The two women lived together in the Ala
bama for several months and we're close
friends.
Thursday morning, just az Coroner
Shrady had turned in for q little rest after
finishing his work on the Dennis case, he
was called up on the telephone. A woman's
voice asked him il Mrs. Dennis was really
dead. he answered that she was. Tie
woman broke down III cried for a mo-
ment. Then she caught her voice and
asked for particulars. Coroner Shrady
told her the plain story. Through it all
she was sobbing.
What is your name, MADAME he asked
when he had told all he knew.
She wa crying violently when he said
this, and he had to ask again before he got
the name Kay The rest Of the name
and the address which she gave he could
not CaUCu on dSCOuuJ u uSI weeping.
1t was later in the day that the people
about the hotel noticed hat the melau-
oholia which had held her for several weeks
had returned. That same afternoon a
man who may be connected with the case
called her up on the telephone, but she
refused to speak to him. Then, just after
dark, she shot herself. How the bullet
missed her heart and entered her abdomen
and how calmly she took her approaching
death was told in yesterday mornings
sun. The physicians at the hospital de-
cided to operate at onoe. Tit shock was
too great. She fell into a state of coma,
from which she never rallied.
Mrs. Kay left a brother and sister in New
Orleans. Some one notified them by wire
and the body was taken to an undertaker's
to await their coming. After that there
may be further developments. 1t ia said
that she came here in connection with her
husbands estate and found that it was in a
a gle which she could not unravel, This
weighed on her mind and brought on the
state of persistent melancholia.
She was III n Of her fits of the blues
and bad in fact been watched by her physi-
clan when the news came that Mrs Dennis
was dead. This probably supplied the
immediate motive of action.
Mrs. Dennis lived in the Alabama from
November last until February. She shared
her apartment with a Mrs Hope Scherr.
During that time she was often with Mrs.
Kay and they hadseveral friends in common.
