tarday had his anger aroused when Michael
Sangeleist, an ice dealer. was brought be-
fore him. charged with violating the Sun
day law in having sold a piece of ice.
Patrolman Griffin, of the Hamburg avenue
station, had made the arrest.
In his own defence Sangeleist explained
that several children were i'll in house
at No 81 Bleeeker street, and that the
doctor had given orders 20 use ice immedi-
ately Sangeleist said he drove to the
house and gave the family the ice. Then
he was arrested
Patrolman Griffin admitted the truth OF
the ice dealers statement. but added that
CAPTAIN Becker had received Instructions
from Police Headquarters TO arrest all ice
dealers for violating the Sunday law.
THAT is incredible" said the magistrate
IT don't believe your captain ever re-
ceived orders of that kind from Police
Headquarters. Why doesn't your captain
send you after car rowdies or excise vio-
lators? I don't believe that harm can
come from delivering ice on Sunday and

line which stopped when one of the pas

and soon a long line of cars was stalled
along the avenue from behind which the
roughs fired stones at one another.
A panic started in the cars among

motormen took refuge inside the cars.
The police, while unable to trace the
beginning of the fight, believe that the
ruffians came over from North Beach
on the Astoria ferry. One of the mem
bers of the gang insulted a young wom-
an who was standing on the corner with
John Shelley. OF No. 90 East 10th

OTHER TO BOSTON YARD
Discovered When Secretary
Meyer Visits Admiral in Brook
lyn-Armor Plates Recov
cred from Channel.

It became known yesterday that two
telegraphic dispatches bearing the forged
signature of Rear Admiral Leutze. COM
mandant of the Brooklyn Navy Yard,
had been sent out on Saturday. The first
was to Secretary Meyer Of the Navy
Department, saying that the battleshlp
Florida, which was launched recently,
had broken loose during the storm and
had gone aground in Wallabout Channel.
The second was sent to the Boston
Navy Yard, and purported to counter
mand the call for a relief derrick to take
the place of the Hercules, which had
been damaged, which first gave rise TO
the story that the Florida had met with
an accident.
These facts came out yesterday. when
Secretary Meyer visited the navy yard,
Oyster Bay. and both he and Admiral
Leutze were much annoyed over the for
geries They believe that the person
who sent the dispatches is in the navy
yard. and an investigation will be made
Secretary Meyer examined the injury
done to the big S25O,OOO crane in Satur-
days storm, and praised the work of the
men on the two tugs that had pulled the
Hercules away from the war vessels
anchored in the channel
THE storm struck the large crane
ALONGSIDE of the battleship Florida used
for handling the new large steel arn1or
plates which We're being placed on her
hull, and nearly tipped it over, doing
100000 damage to the crane, said Mr.
Meyer Two of the 32-ton plates fell,
and barely missed the Florida's guns.
Fortunately. one of the engineers on the
job Immediately took photographs of the
damaged crane, and I was able to for
ward these. together with a request to
Senator Hale, chairman of the Com
mittee on Naval Affairs. asking that an
amendment be tackled on the general de-
fciency BILL which passed the House on
Friday, so that could get an appropria-
ton of 100000 in short order
The Merritt Chapman Wrecking Com
pany began work on the derrick yester-
day morning. Two of the company's
divers and two of the yards men went
down to seek the armor plates. They
were found il. the blue clay and were
rescued later It had been feared that
they had sunk in the mud, in which case
they would have disappeared for good.

constrained to decline to allow nv name
