PUT OFF MOVING DAY.
Tenants in Condemned Buildings
Oppose Wreckers.

To move or not to move right away is the
question that many tenants living IN the district
condemned the East Side for the approach of
the Manhattan Bridge do not want TO answer.
About twelve blocks of houses have been sold az
public auction by the city, and the families were
told TO move out Of the premises before
November 10. Many of the merchants and tenants
got extension OF time the ground that they
could not get quarters quickly as they
were ordered. Meanwhile the wrecking companies
which have until January 10 to complete the work
of razng all the buildings. anxious TO begin
the work many buildings as possible. But
they struck a snag when they proceeded 10 de-
molish No 135 Madison street.
Under the leadership of Harry Cohen, some of
the tenants in this building opposed the work OF
the wrecking company last Saturday because they
say, they had obtained an extension of time from
the Controllers office. Cohen lives the 9th
floor of the building, and when the wreckers began
to tear down the stairs leading 10 the roof from
the fifth floor Cohen and other tenants thought
they intended TO start right in on all the floors,
and accordingly made vigorous protest for their
rights But L. Cohre. the lessee Of the house says
authority could be shown for assuming an eN
tension of the time for moving.
Cobre declares that Cohen has peremptorily
usurpcd the charge of gas engine used for
pumping water to the top floors, and that, as
he has been told to vacate the premises and has
not paid any rent since the middle Of October he
has no right TO the apartments. II is believed that
the attempt to shut OFF the water supply from the
upper floors was done TO force the tenants who
owed rent to move. The wreckng company ap-
parently has taken the view Mr.. Cobre.
and as there is rent due from the Cohens and
other families on the same floor, some effort will
be made to-day to force these families to move
their effects
H. Welner who hives on the same floor the
Cohens declared last night that the tenants In
the building did not intend to move until they
could get other apartments, and that In the mean
while tHey would control the gas engine for their
Mater slIpnlY.

BODY STILL UNCLAIMED
No Relative of Nc5o Rochelle
W0man Can Be Found.

The body of Mrs. Grace Smith, who shot and
killed her husband Nicholas NJ Smith, jr.. and
afterward set fire to their home No. so Woodland
avenue. New Rochelle, and committed suicide by
shooting herself. is still at the private morgue of
George r. Davis at New Rochelle. None of her
alleged relatives. the Bulkeeys of Connecticut. has
appeared to claim the body. They say she was an

Samuel *. Smith, a lawyer. who is a brother OF
the murdered man. took his body to Baltimore last
night and the funerai will be held there tomorrow
Mr.. Smith instructed the undertaken to keep the
body of the woman until noon to-day saying that
if her relatives d1 claim il he would see that 1t
buried. He said that his family knew nothing
of his brothers WIFE except that she had fire.
quenty told them that she a member Of the
Bukeley family of Hartford.
Late last night two young women, accompanied
by an elderly man, went to the New Rochelle
morgue. The WON n asked to see the body OF Mrs
Smith. but would not give their names. They told
Mr. Davis they intimate friends of the dead
woman. As gazed the face of Mrs
Smith She wept bitterly exclaiminE Poor Grace
why did she do it? She must have been crazy"
Though the woman may have been adventu-
ress, 1t is known that Smith believed to the day Of
his death that she a daughter of the late
William II. BUlkeley, formerly Lieutenant Governor
of Connecticut, and sister of United States Sen
atOr BulkoIey
In the opinion of the New. Rochelle police there
two explanations for the tragedy. One is
that the woman, who for years had posed
heir of the Bulkeey family, feared that she would
eventually he unmasked ana the deception
posed to her husband. The other is that for some
secret reason she wished get rid Of her hus
band. and having made failure cf the attempt
burn the house containing his dead body
driven last resort TO take her own life. Chief
TimmonS and Detective Cody place little stock in
the theory that Mrs. Smith was seized with
sudden hOmiCidal mania They have learned from
Grover Cleveland young friend Of the couple
who is now in charge of the house that the re
port that Mrs. Smith had been confined in an
insane asylum probably untrue. The police
think that the tragedy was too well planned to
have been the work of insane person.
Mr. Smith had considerable money deposit
in Baltimore. which. together with his personal
property and life insurance, would amount to
$500 10000 and the police anxious 10
find out whether he made will and If so who
named as the beneficiary. The fact that her
first husband lived only nine months after their
marriage and that his death caused by NOR
phine poisoning has prompted these inquiries. Mr..
Cleveland. who has been associated with Mr.. Smith
for the last years, says he is positive that
there is viii in existence.

White costumes will be worn quite

Velvet Is tremendously popular this
season, and especially suited to the

show up the richness Of velvet much
better than other modes.
BFoadcloth Is the cloth par excel
lence this season. 1t always has held
its own In the very front rank of fab

year its scope extends beyond that, to
dinner and evening gowns.

The idea advanced by William j.
Bryan. that congress should pass a
law by which. for a small sum OF
money to cover losses. the govern
ment would guarantee deposits as II
now guarantees the notes issued by

from such a plan would be the abso-
lutte confidence IL would give the de-
positor. This plan would also have
the advantage OF doing away with
any necessity for a postal savings

tion. but the idea advanced by Mr.

RaIlooninR.

One OF the re cent predictions Of San

that ballooning would soon become
popular and thus add to mans knows
edge and ability in this field. He be-
lieves that aerial navigation is FEAST
BILE and that persistent effort will re-
move every obstacle. In France. the
home OF aeronautlcs. women take
lights IN their own machines, unac-
companied by men, and a member Of
one Of the numerous aero clubs can or
der q balloon by telephone just az
readily as he can a cab or an auto
car and take his friends for fioat in
the upper air,
Considering the number Of ascents
made in France within the last year
accidents have been comparatively
rare. Chances Of disaster are no great
or than in an auto spin. Practical
navigation OF the air may not prove OF
real value to mankind, but the balloon

who win not be satisfied until the
highest development possible has beer
reached and the last secret of aero
nautics solved.
