Aged Spaniard Prevented From Landing
by 0 Relatives Letter.

Don, Emmanuel Contravas-e-Corrke, for
more than thirty years a member Of the
Spanish consular service, holding appoint
ments at Athens, Pekn, Glasgow, Annoy
and Algiers, is detained at Ellis Island 4,
He has relatives in the vicinity Of New
York, hut immigration COMMISSIONS
Watchorn got a letter from some one saying
that the old man was a pauper and would
probably become q public charge II per-
mitted 10 land.
Aires from Cadiz, and told the immigration
authorities that his sister-in-law lived In
Jersey City, and that he had come to pay
her a visit. After that he wanted to 20 to
Pekin. where his daughter lives.
He was not told that the letter saying
he was poor had been received at Ellis
Island. No one had the heart to do that,
so Don Emmanuel remains there wondering
IL the letter he wrote to his sister-in-law
went astray, or IL she and her husband
have moved from the address to which he
wrote.
A courtly mar lie Don Emmanuel and
once he was wealthy. But he says his
oountry''s struggle against the United States
caused him to lose his fortune and when
he reached New York he had only A5 in
his possession. But that was sufficient, he
thought, to meet his modest needs.
At first he was placed In one of the PEN
along with a crowd of negroes from the
anarchists and others from Europe whose
police records are such that they will nave
to go back to lands from which they came.
But Commissioner Watchorn caused the
white haired old man to be removed to a
separate room and there he sits awaiting
he knows not what.
In his pockets Don Emmanuel carries
letters that be prizes highly. One is an in
~vitation from the King Of Spain asking his
mpa at dinner. Another is a letter
from Queen Victoria, and a third is from
Republic.
The Spanish Consul General has in
terested himself in the case Of Don En-
manuel. and if he fails to bring about a
meeting with some Of HIS relatives here

him to Pekin 10 his daughter.

Mayor Kills Bill for Finance Department
Foreign Bureau.

Mayor Mcclellan vetoed yesterday the
bill providing for the establishment by the
Finance Department Of a bureau to in
yestigate the assessed valuations of real
estate owned by the municipality outside
of the city limits. The Mayor said that in
his opinion there was no need for such a
bureau and that while / do not doubt that
such property is often assessed beyond it's
actual value and that the city is thus forced
to- contribute more than it's fair share to
the expense Of running certain local gov

COMMENT OVER ARMORY
Colonel Bates Still Silent ON Use by
Opera Companies.

The announcement published in The Tribune yes
terday morning that the list Regiment Armory is
being used at present by over half dozen inca
tricaI companies for rehearsals. with the sanction
OF the officers Of the regiment. caused considerable
unfavorable comment yesterday from both city or
hcials and officers OF regiments. 1t was said that
while the State Of New York is the legal custodian
Of the armory such use OF company rooms in
an armory is unheard of and without precedent.
Adiutant General Nelson H. Henry is the officer
in command of all the armorfes Of the state, with
Major General Charles F. Roe. commander of the
Natioral Guard. second in command. Colonel Will
lam c. Bates of the list Regiment is IN immediate
command of his own armory, being responsible only
TO the officials named.
Acting Mayor MCGOWAN, in speaking Of the per-
mission being granted. said that ii news to him
and that he had never heard Of such thing before
Il am certainly sure" he said that the COM
panies never received any permission from the Ar
mory Board I never heard of such thing. Armo-
! ries after having been accepted. are really under
state control But If permission for such rehearsals
was desired while the state would grant the per-
mission, undoubtedly the courtesy would be shown
the Armory Board to cooperate with the AuJutaht
General
persons desired to lease the esth Regiment Armory
| for a food show. The Arnory Board still had
control at that time, the armory had never been
formally accepted. We considered the request and
refused it, as We found there was no right or law

DROVE OFF AUTO THIEVES
Homo of Emploge of Oyster Bay
Bank attacked.

The burglars who have recently been doing
business with an automobile in Nassau County
paid visit early Thursday morning to the
home of Harry Hayward, an employe OF the
Oyster Bay Bank. who lives in East Norwich.
and escaped in their car as Hayward, reused by
his young son. blazed away at them with re-
volver
Two of the thieves, Of whom there were five IN
all, climbed UP into the room Of young Gordon
Hayward and awakened him by flashing an
electric light in his face. The boy screamed and
SO aroused his father.
The authorities of Nassau County seem to be
at a loss to account for the invariabe escape Of
the thieves after their raids The last seen of
them after their latest escapade was by a milk
man. He is said to have seen them on the way
to Oyster Bay, where the Secret Service men
who surround the President are keeping sharp
lookout. An automobile party Of five men spent
the early part Of Wednesday night at road
house near the Hayward home, and it is sup
posed to be this party which attempted TO ROD
the house.
II is believed that Sheriff Gildersleeve and
District Attorney Coles will take to roaming the
roads OF the county in car themselves, but they
would say nothing of their plans yesterday.

The establishment of a ''aremen's college" IN
this city is the novel recommendation OF Fire Com
missioner O'Brien in his latest report the Mayor
about department affairs. He asks that $4,000 be
appropriated for the college and suggests that
suitable site for it can be found either in The
Bronx or in Richmond.
Mr.. O'Brien says that the needs Of the department
have outgroWn the school Of instruction at Fire
HEADQUARTERS. in East 9th street, where young
fremen on probation have been taught the use OF
scaling ladders and Ifesaving appliances, and
that the department now needs larger school,
where the beginners can have regular course OF
instruction to fit them to be good hremen. His rec
concentrations do not include the hiring OF outside
professors or tho comforting of any degrees on
graduates.
With the report was made public yesterday
letter of the Commissioner 20 the Mayor, recommend
ing an issue Of $6OOOOOO OF bonds the money to be
spent for Fire Department improvements within
vice alone. the Commissioner says 100000 will be
required. II has been found, he says, that new
fire alarm service is needed for the city. He
spend 100000 a year also for placing fire alarm
wires underground IN parts OF the city where over
head wires row have to be used
For new buildings. with their sites, Mr.. O'Brien
wants H,6oO,0o0. He also wants 100000 for new
buildings on sites already owned by the city, and

FISH FOR TRUSTEE.
Name Often Mentioned for Place on

The name OF stuyvesant Fish, It was learned yes

position" nominee and possible president Of the
Mutual Life at Joint conferences of the interna-
tional poIcyholders executive committee and the
nominating committee Of the Mutual Life Policy
holders Association. Many OF the conferrees, IL is
said feel that the nomination OF men OF the type
OF Afr. Fish. with a clear record and thorough
knowledge Of life insurance. would materially
strengthen the opposition ticket. Whether the ex-
member of the Truesdale housecleaning committee
would accept the nomination could not be learned
u is said that Mr.. Fish's nomination would have
.n view his succession 20 the presidency OF the
company.
The International committees recent statement
that no committeeman would be nominee was
thought TO dispose effectively of the report printed
yesterday that eX-Judge Parker was slated for the
presidency should the committees ticket succeed

be obtained yesterday that third independent
