LUSSIER rs CONE.
Attached Himself TO n Fourth Precinct

Attached HimseN 10 the Fourth Precinct
station Did He Jump the Bridge:
The Fourth precinct police station, To-
Gated in Washington street, Brooklyn, and
in which the Brooklyn Bridge squad has
headquarters, is in mourning. The chief
ourne il Doorman Patrick L. Flynn,
who returned from his vacation yester-
day. But the greeting he longed for most
was not forthcoming. Lussier, the old
tomcat which had been his companion
for years, was absent and the boys of the
bridge squad declare the cat committed
suicide owing to loneliness when Flynn
went on his vacation.
Flynn ia a civil war veteran and after
the struggle made a comfortable fortune
in a in Fulton Market. He
invested in property near Lowery, retired
and was appointed a doorman on the po-
lice force. He is a warm friend of Sergt.
LussieF and when a homeless cat wandered
into the house years ago he took him in
and the cat and Flynn became inseperable.
He named him after his friend the sergeant.
Flynn was wont, say the boys, to sit for
hour relating experiences OF his campaigns
during the war and when no one else would
listen Lussier was always an attentive
auditor.
When the doorman left two weeks ago LUIS
sier was inconsolable for several days and
moped about the Brooklyn end of the bridge
refusing to be comforted. Several days
ago Roundsman Fitzgerald was on duty
on the bridge and saw the old cat prowling
about far out beyond the Brooklyn an
chorage. He stopped and petted Lussier
for . minute, then came on toward the
Manhattan end. That was the last seen
of Lussier and IL is the accepted belief that
he leaped from the bridge into the East
River.

For five years the Shoe Machinery Com

1t is said that this war was what decided
Mr.. Ro gers to attack the big concern.
Quietly the new company began to acquire
the ri gifts on certain machines not con-
trolled by the big co ncern. Knowing that
these machines are not enough, the new
company began TO develop and build
machinery for every process in shoe manu-
featuring in order hat il might equip a
factory without IN any way using the

Machinery Company. This has been ac-
complished, it is said, and a dem onstration

Thomas F. Ryan issued a statement
yesterday about the fire which started
in his house at 90 Fifth avenue early in
the morning and which was at first thought
to have been set by an incendiary. He
said.
l. returned from the country late yesterday
afternoon and did not leave my house after
that time. At . o'clock this morning the
policeman on duty and a private Waterman
whom | have kept in the house at night since
the early part OF the year awakened the
household. The Fire Department in a very
few minutes put out the fire. it having done
little or no damage. | cannot believe, as
has been suggested. that the fire was caused
by an incendisry: | believe il was caused by
the accidental igniting OF rubbish that was
thrown out by workmen who were making
some repairs in the house Friday and
Saturday.
Fire Marshal Peter Seery said yesterday
afternoon that no report had been sent
to him indicating hat this fire was con-
nected in any way with the large number
obviously started by frebugs which have
been alarming the residents of the East
Side and West Side for the last few days.
Frank Morris, the young man who was
arrested under suspicion of knowing some
thing about the five fires in West Sixtieth
and West Sixty-first streets on Friday
morning, was arraigned in the West Side
police court yesterday morning before
Magistrate Steiner on a charge of arson.
Deputy Fire Marshal Prial and Detective
Bresnan of the West Sixty-eighth street
police station said that they had been I'M
able to get further evidence connecting
the prisoner with the fires.
We feel sure hat this lad knows a good
deal about the fires" said Prial. How
ever, there il no evidence at least not
enough to hold him on such a serious
charge. James Shields. a boy about Nor
ris's age, was told by the prisoner o N thc

scene before the engines arrived. When
arrested by Detective Bresnsn he was
unduly excited. After his arrest he hoasted
70 Detective Bresnan that the Boston Fire
Department was speedier than that Of
New York"
Prial then said that the boy undoubtedly
was mentally unbalanced and asked that
he be examined as to his sanity. He told
OF a number of queer things the prisoner
said.
He said that if Hearst had been elected
there wouldn't have been so many fires"
concluded Prisl.
Magistrate Steinert then asked Morris
sharply why he had set fire TO the tene-
ments. The boy denied any knowledge of
the crime. After this the prisoner talked
in a rambling way and the Magistrate or
dered him committed to Bellevue Hospital
for an examination az to his sanity.
