BLIND PIPER DYING IN SNOW.
FOUND UNCONSCIOUS, FIDDLE
CRUSHED UNDER HIM.

Money Gone, Tso-Pasbed Away At Bellevue
Old Time Sailor Saved Competence
but Played Music for the Love OF II
and Told Fairy Tales to Children
William Sullivan. known to all the uppei
East Side as Blind Bill the Piper, is dead
For twenty-five years Sullivan lived IN
Fortieth street near First avenue. There
was sadness in the neighborhood last night
when the news OF his death spread. He
died in Bellevue Hospital last night.
A policeman found Sullivan early yester'
day morning lying unconscious in the snow
at Thirty-seventh street and First avenue,
His right leg was fractured and his favorite
violin, which he held close TO his breast
was broken. How he came to be there no
one will ever know; he died without re-
gaining consciousness.
Charles Wagner runs the barber shop at
8S7 First avenue and lives overhead. For
the past five months Sullivan had a room
in Wagner's fiat. On Tuesday night Sulli-
van felt his way into the barber shop and
told Wagner he was going up to Harlem to
fiddle at q racket.
Its no weather for you to be out y said
Wagner. Its likely to kill you
And what IL ii doesY' said Sullivan
Sure and I'll get the finest funeral in the
ward. / have already fixed it, SO l have
and there's to be our horses to the hearse
and twinty carria ges, for me friends Will
follow it,
Then Sullivan laughed, and tucking his
violin under his arm made his way to the
elevated station.
He must have had a warning, said Wag-
ner last night
Around the neighborhood it was rumored
that Sullivan was rich-at least was rioh as
the term Is understood there. He was
about 05 years old. He left a sister, Mrs.
Mary O'Connor, who lives at 1888 East For

money. How much I won't know until
/ find his bankbooks; but he had money in q
Bowery bank and some more in a bank on
Fourth avenue. And he had fddles, a
dozen Of them, maybe, and all fine Ones
The neighbors said that the blind piper
had studied to be a priest.
NO" said Mrs. 0'Connor, mot that,
but my father, who had money, ave him
the best education that could be had in
the County Cork. and after that William
followed the sea. 1t was forty years ago

He ga ed-always saved. We were living

and the fiddle. and though he had put by
enough to live on comfortably he never
refused to play at parties.
And he was good to the children he
played for them to dance on the sidewalks.
and when they tired Of that he gathered
them about him and told them OF the fairies.
They haven't told me how he came
to be unconscious there in the street with
his leg broken and his fiddle smashed and
no money in his pockets. 1t seems strange
to me-"
Mrs. O'Counor couldn't say Just when or
where the body Of the Blind Piper" would
be laid to rest. but when it is there will be
a large crowd to follow it.

The residences Of the Rev. Sheph erd
Knapp, 800 Lexingt IN avenue, and
Charles NJ. Jesup, 124 East Thirty-sixth

yesterday morning. From the clergy
mans home, which is on the corner OF
Thirty-sixth street and Lexington avenue
and adjoins Mr.. Jesup's, the burglar got
away with a one dollar bill. From the
Jesup residence nothing was taken, al
though a big pile Of valuables was got to-
gether by the burglar,
He got into Mr.. Knapp's house through
a back window. All the silverware was
in substantial cases under lock and key,
and though the burglar apparently ram
sacked the first floor at his leisure he found
nothing he desired except the dollar bill.
This was in a drawer Of a cabinet in the
dining room.
He evidently left the Knapp residence
by the back and climbed over a high fence

a means Of escape.
The burglar opened the sideboard and
piled up a large quantity OF silverware on
the dining room table. He then vent UP
stairs to the sleeping room and while prowl-

saw the fash Of a bulls eye and cried out
and the light disappeared. She heard a
noise as Of some one running down the stairs
and out the front door.
Mr.. Jesup was sleeping in an adjoining
room. Ordinarily he is a light sleeper,
but ii was with difficulty that Mrs. Jesup
awakened him. There was an odor re-
sembling that Of chloroform in the room.
The police believe that the burglar chloro-
formed him and was about to treat the
other inmates Of the house in the same
manner, when he aroused Mrs. Jesup. She

Referring to the criticism of the Com

adopted a new policy in the make up of

minority to select the minority members.
and he thought that this committee, like
every other one, was made up from the best
judgment OF the Speaker and the leader Of

The Speaker said that he thought the
criticism of the committee an unjust one.
He also referred to the fact that other
committees of the House had to deal with
questions affecting labor, and that in the
assignment to committees the best judg-

Constipation and Its

ourselves are to a large extent responsible
for u troubles by failure to observe Nat

we eat improper food with undue haste,

they damage h tender lining of the

An appropriation OF $55 900 was asked
for to fl out the armory. Mr.. Wilmington

354 armchairs, 40 revolving chairs, 1,672

is in Bellevue Hospital with four bullet
wounds in her body.
Pietro shot her yesterday afternoon
after he had made several threats and
the police had been asked for protection
from him. After emptying his revolver
at Mrs. Repp and Christina Hunter, a SER
want girl who got in his way in the hallway,
Iaprina ran down Second avenue to Seven

The Repps are fairly we'll to do. Joseph

Pietro Laprina and Antonio Leitzo,
who were friends, went to board in the
house about seven months ago.
Annie Repp complained several times

Laprina were Objectionable. On Sunday
afternoon Annie went for a walk with
Leitzo. When they got back to the house
Laprina, who had followed them, was
angry.

MIR. Repp heard the threat and told
Laprina to leave right away, but they
didn't try to put him out because they
were afraid Of him. On Tuesday Laprina
repeated his threat to Annie Repp and she
went around to the East Twenty-second
street police station. The police advised
the girl to get a summons for Laprina and
compel him to appear before a Ma gistrate.
Iaprina was out of a job as a cabinet

got up he made SO much noise that Annie

50 500 900 Item Under Inquiry by Rail-
road Commission ps,

rOad Commission. W
ALBANY. March 21.-The State Board OF
Railroad Commissioners began an inquiry
at the Capitol to-day into the complaint
of hudson G. Wall, president Of the Prospect
Heights Citizens Association OF Brooklyn,
that he cannot understand an item Of
$500, 900 discount on a SIS 900 900 note issue
put out in 1908 by the New York City Rail-
way. William M. WINS appeared as adj
wiser for Mr.. Wall, and the Acknowledgement
was present for the Railroad Commissioners
Paul D. Cravath was present as attorney
for the New York City Railway.
Mr.. Wallis complaint says reports filed
with the State board by the Metropolitan
Street Railway Company in 1903 and 1904
do not account for 81. 500, 900 which was
charged against the company for discounts
on SIS, 900, 900 Of 3 per cent. notes, Of which
only s. ,485 600 were issued.
Charles S. Ludlam, comptroller OF the
New York City Railway Company, was
examined at length on the reports sub
mitted by the company to the board in
1s93-04. He pointed out that there was a
charge against the capital account OF the
company in each year of 81 500, 900 as repre-
senting the discount of so per cent. on the
SIS 900 900 of debenture notes contracted
for and in part taken by the Metropolitan
Securities Company.
He wal questioned by the Attorney
General as to why the full amount Of the
discount had been charged, whereas only
a part of the issue Of SIS 900, 900 had been
actually taken over by the Metropolitan
Securities Company. He said that the
whole amount Of the discount became a
liability Of the New York City Railway
Company when it entered into the contract
to sell the securities and had to be charged
against the capital account Of the company
in order to show its true financial condition.
He admitted that more ample explanation
might have been given, but he did not
consider il necessary,

for a Bureau OF Statistics in the New York
city Comptroller's office in which will be
gathered and compiled all Of the financial
statistics concerning every city depart
ment, commission and board. This bill
was sent here by Comptroller Metz.
The bill originally contained a provision
empowering the Comptroller to conduct
investigations into all matters, especially
in the Board Of Estimate and Apportion-
ment. and permitting him to compel the
furnishing Of inside information by COR
porations dealing with the city, as was
desired in the city's fight with the lighting
companies last year. But the corporations
were stronger in the Legislature than Comp
troller Metz and they had this provision
stricken from the bill before it passed.
