REGULAR TOLL
TO POLICE OFFICERS.

NEW YORK, March s. Berthe
the shooting of Emil Gerdron, made IL
lengthy confession involving four po-
licemen formerly stationed in the Ten
derl0in precinct to Assistant District
Attorney Ely. Witnesses have been Sc
cured who will corrOborate her state
mentS. Some c~orroboration has already
been obtained in the shape of testimony
given ut her trial.
The girl under oath said it was her
custom and the custom of all the wo-
men of her class in the Tenderloin pre-
cinct to contribute 81 Il week toward Il
fund for four policemen whom she
named. This fund, she said, was divid-
ed between them. Her statement is
long and circumstantial. She said that
in her acquaintance We're fifty or sixty
women who contributed 81 Il week to
this fund and that undoubtedly there
were others whom she did not know.
The agreement was that this pay
ment was TO secure the contributors
from sudden arrest. At stated inter-
walls they were expected to submit to
arrest. The policemen guaranteed to
so arrange the cases that the fine in
the police court would not exceed So.
The arrests went to the credit of the
men making them on the station house
record.
So amazing are the disclosures of

Ely is likely to probe deeper than into
the actions of the four policemen di-
rectly implicated by the girl. She has
heard of other policemen who were
grating and has given lines by which
they may be reached.
The result of her confession may be
the exposure of the whole system of
police graft upon the Tenderloin UNI
fortunates. Berthe Claiche's story ap-
plies only TO women who ply their
trade on the streets.
The girl had been in the Tenderloin
for six years, and in that time there
had been many changes in the person
mel OF the vice squad of the district.
She said that, with two or three eXcep-
lions. she had been forced to pay trib-
ute practically to every plain clothes
nan as well as the men in uniform
with whom she came in contact.
After IL conference between Commits
si0ner Bingham, Assistant District At
torney Ely and one of the lawyers for
Berthe Claiche Commissioner Bing-

two policemen and II roundsman
from the Tenderloin TO other precincts.

GEORGE SPECIAL
IN A FATAL WRECK.

SARATOGA, n. l.. March S.-A rear
end collision on the Delaware and
Hudson railroad here resulted in three
deaths and severe injuries to several
passengers who were On the train
known as the Lake George special.
Miss Esmond. aged sixteen years. of
Gansevoort, was instantly killed. Her
mother. Mrs. Charles Esmond, received
injuries that have since proved fatal.
Frank Sindecuse Of Buffalo, Il travel
ing salesman, died later of his in
iuries. Frank Cardes of Albany "a in
jured internally. Nelson NJ. Narney of
Sandy Hill had his right hand and arm
crushed and received internal injuries.
Miss Gertrude Esmond's skull was
crushed when the car in which she was
Il passenger was telescOped by the
coach behind.
George Foster Peabody was on the
wrecked train on his way to New York
from his Lake George home. He es-
capped injury and after the accident
went to the home Of Spencer Trask in
this city.
All of the passengers injured and
those who were killed were in the for
ward coach of the local train from
Glens Falls. which was held up on ac-
count of Il derailed freight train
ahead. The freight had left the track
near the Saratoga depot, completely
blocking traffic.
The Glens Falls train had been at a
standstill for some time when the
Montreal express came into view. The
engineer of the express claims that he
saw the danger and applied the emer-
gency brakes. Tho rails were slippery,
however, and at very little if any d.
miniShed speed the Montreal tiier
crashed into the standing local. tele-
scOping it. The Esmond girl was
caught between the first coach and the
baggage car. The other passengers
were pinned down by wreckugc and
We're rescued with much difficulty aft
er police reserves and fire apparatus
had been called to the scene.
That the list of killed and injured is
so small is attributed to the fact that
many persons in the local train had
become tired out from the long wait
and had left the train to walk 10 the
depot.

MUNICIPAL FERRY is
NOT YET MASTERED.

NEW YORK, Mar. S:-Repairs
and alterations on the new municipal
ferryboats have in the five months
they have been running cost close TO
500, 900.
The Manhattan brok e down en-
Monday night in the middle of the
bay. The 1000 passengers she car
ried were delayed for almost an
hour. On her $50 a. m. trip to
Manhattan from st. George yester-
day she ran into the west slip at the
foot of Whitehall street with such
force as to knock many of her pass
engers down. This didn't improve
the condition of the slip.
After an absence of three weeks,
spent in the %shipyards, the Bronx re-
turned to service yesterday. She is
fitted with sliding doors, and these
have been broken repeatedly by
slamming and rough handling.
The second slip on the ST. George
terminal is now completed, but for
some reason is not used. When
asked about the matter yesterday,
Commissioner of Docks and Ferries
Bensel said:
when the municipal ferries were
suggested BY former Commissioned
Hawkes., he thought they would BID
a losing proposition to the tune o
about $250,000 a year. They werd
built with that in mind. But, not
outstanding that, the figures for tn
last three months as compared will
those of the corresponding threi
months of last year show an increas
of "a per cent. in earnings"
The commissioner said he though
the boats would get bumped anI
hammered about, for they are fouI
times as large as any of the othe
ferryboats. On account of the sizI
the pilots have no yet got used
them. With their forced draugh
and speed they are difficult to handle
Yet the pilots have improved 100 pc
cent. since October. In another 81
months they will be able to handl
these boats as well as the smalldv
| ones to which they were accustomedc.
The pilots are afraid to go into
the new slip at the st. George term
inal,' he said. They are as super
s%titious al railroad men about going
over q new switch. I'm afraid I'll
have to go over with them and force
them to go into the slip.
"All this trouble simply bears out
the idea that the only way to III a
ferry is to have three boats running
regularly, one in reserve and the
other in the repair shop. We are
not unique in that respect. The
natural wear and tear makes this
necessary. When you -

cANToN's REPUTATION.

Canton is fast acquiring a reputa-

towns in the country. With its pub
lie buildings, interurban lines and
magnificent hotels it is becoming a
mecca for those who belong TO the

journal issued last week, one of the
players in Creston Clarke's company
that produced "A Ragged Messenger
Co." in this city recently, publishes a
diary in which a number of Ohio
towns comes in for caustic criticism.
In regard to Canton he wrote:
Tuesday We played Canton, o.
There's the town! A sort Of minia-
turC New York. Full of life and en-
ergy. Hotsb strictly up-to-date. Po-

THE SEELEY DINNER
Recalled~by Arrest Of p. T. Barnum' IS
Grandson,

New York, Dec. Herbert Barnum
Seeley, grandson of Phineas Taylor
Barnun, the famous circus man, and
himself the hero of one of the most
sensational police raids in the history
of New York, was arrested tonight by
the police of the Mercer street sta
tion charged with maintaining re-
sort in which minors were admitted
contrary to law.
Seeley Is manager of skating rink,
on Union Square, and the police to-
night descended upon it, finding there
in seven girls and one boy under the
age OF IS. They promptly arrested
Seeley and his cashier, Leo c. Perhine,
and they we're locked up but later
bailed out.
Young Seeley sprang into fame
soon after the leath Of his grand
father by whom he was left a very
considerable fortune, when he an
nounced that he was about to be mar
ried. He gave farewell bachelor
supper at Sherry's and while the fes-
tivities were in progress Police Captain
Chapman and squad of police de-
scended upon the al.istocratic dining
hall and placed the whole party un-
der arrest. Chapman alleged that
Little Egypt was violating the law
by dancing the dams du ventre in a
nude condition when he entered. The
affair stirred up New York's exclusive
social set; but it was soon hushed up
and, unlike the recent Caruso case,
the police failed to secure a convic-
ton alter trial in the police court
Seeley has long since gone through
the fortune left him by his grand
father and is now said to be broke.

under penalty of dismissal. Eighty to
ninety per cent of the western ope-

signed.
