SHE WAS IN A. HURRY TO ADOPT.
Young Woman Wanted TO Take Home
Child Found on Stoop.

>"se
Benedict Evans. who has an Office at
1874 Spring street. was talking with afriend
at Sixty-sixth street and Fifth avenue
yesterday afternoon when he thought he
heard the walls Of a cat in distress. He
and his friend walked down Sixty-sixth
street to investigate; instead OF the dis
tressed pussy they found q baby on the
stoop Of Mrs. H. o. Havemeyer's house
at 1 East Sixty-sixth street.
While Mr. Evans and his friend were
coddling the waif and trying to soothe 1t
a Fifth avenue stage stopped at the cor
ner and a well dressed young woman who
alighted came down to where they were
standing. As o as h saw the baby
she wanted to. take it home with her.
The discoverers Of the child protested
that such was not according to police
regulations in that case, yet the young
woman was insistent in her demand that
she be allowed to nave the child.
In an effort to shift responsibility Mr..
Evans rang the bell Of the Havemeyer
home and asked the h~ousekeeper. who re-
sponded, II she had any lien on the wait.
When the housekeeper disclaimed any
responsibility and said that Mrs. Have
called up Police Headquarters from the
house and made a report Of his find.
Headquarters notified the East Sixty
seventh street station and Policeman Fox
was sent around to gather in the desti-
tute mite. He in turn had to argue with
the young woman from the Fifth avenue
stage to convince her that the only thing
she could do to obtain possession Of the
baby was to apply to Bellevue Hospital
in the Department Of Charities ward.
She promised to do so and the baby was
taken to the station. Later Policeman
Fox journeyed down to Bellevue with the
child. 1t was a boy baby about a month
old and very well dressed.

is building to-day is equal to four Of the

KArER CURE FoR JOIN.
Policeman VINO Pulled Him From the
River Did II for His Own Good.

John Hallihan, who IL down In the
police who's Who On Avenue A. as one
OF the most interesting citizens OF the gas
house district, had a pretty full after
noon OF II yesterday. He was chased by
two policemen, tackled by a swimmer in
the East River, who mistook him for q
would-be suicide and towed through q
large portion Of the river at the end Of a
p Enough was aplenty for John.
About 4 o'clock Policemen Dunn and
Mulvey OF the East Sixty-seventh street
station happened to be walking along
Avenue A about Seventy-second street,
when they saw John coming up the avenue
with a bundle under his arm. John Is
so well known in police circles that the
mere fact that he was carrying a bundle
prompted a closer acquaintance on the
part of the policemen. John scorned
their advances and started to run down
Avenue A.
As he ran, with the policemen following,
John reluctantly dropped in his path
several objects which later attracted
attention at the station house. These
were one ACCORDION, one mandolin three
pairs OF trousers, two coats, two waist
COaUS ana one PAIR Oh patent IedtnoT
shoes, all in good condition. When he
had separated himself from all his burden
John took 1t on the dive of she end Of the
East Seventy-first street pier.
II happened that there was a par
ticularly strong and nifty swimmer In
the water there Just as John plunged
out of sight. This swimmer. whose name
the police overlooked. saw the p~ursuers.
saw the man rise to the surface and strike
out. He naturally thought that John
was attempting to take his life. 30 he
went and put n arm under Johns chin.
A fine fight In the water followed.
Policemen Dunn and Mulvey believed
that their duty lay on shore. so they ran
to a boathouse and got a life preser yer
and a long line. They threw both out
to the swimmer. who was graphing with
John. He succeeded in overpowering
his unruly antagonist and tied the rope
about Johns chest. Then the police
men. possibly thinking that the eddy
was % strong to permit Of pulling John
in there, or possibly in the belief that a
little jaunt would do John no harm. towed
him along the wharves on the river front
to the foot OF Seventy seventh street.
When they pulled John In he was neal
enough drowned to be discouraged.
They took John up to the East Sixty
seventh street station and charged him
with being a suspicious person.
