Edwin c. Heathcote, senior memoer OF
E c. Heathcote & Co, No. Maiden
Lane. who was robbed of jewe1ry valued
at SIS. 600 more than three years ago IN q
Brooklyn Bridge train, has told Assistant
District Attorney May. of Brooklyn, that
a Flatbush woman may know something
about the robbery. This woman, Mr.

herself. He has never given UP hope or
tracing the jewelry.
Mrs. Heathc9te was with her husband
when he was robbed. He carried the jew
els in a package. A gang of rowdies start
ed scrirnmage, and when one Of them
struck him he knocked his assailant down.
During the scrimmage the package was
taken.
Mr.. Heathcote told his story at the
Brooklyn Detective Bureau. There was the
usual investigation, but without result
Mr.. Heathcote did some sleuthing himself,
and recently. he says. he learned that a
Flatbush woman, who several years ago
had been unable to pay her rent, had
bought a house and had told a, friend that
she had realized a considerable amount Of
money from the sale of jewels which she
had found a few years ago, According TO
Mr.. Heathcote, she even described some
Of his jewelry.

Third Avenue system. yesterday sent his
rejoinder to the reply Of the Public Service
commissioners to his previous letter. He
declines to give the names Of the Public
Service inspectors whom his detectives fol-
lowed. who are, he says, guilty of nothing
but leading a life OF comparative leisure
and taking q drink before entering or after
leaving the Presence in the Tribune Build-
Ing
He says he is unwilling to veE the COM
rnissioners with the names of the inspectors
referred to until the commission has dealt
with the inspectors who reported things
that were not in respect to the 42d street
cars two years ago and the inspectors who
complained of the service on Southern
Boulevard without mentioning that an
open bridge prevented the cars from run
ming over il and that building material on
the track prevented the cars from using 1t,
as reported more than year ago.
Mr whitridge declines to continue the
correspondence until the commissioners
have accepted his invitation to dinner. or
otherwise purged themselves Of their ninth
unsuccessful suit against me- and he adds:
L was / confess, for the moment indig-
nant at this ninth suit, but I really hope

nv invitation TO dine, If they like. will
invite the leading editors to join us, and

SUGGESTS CITY INTERVENE
Commissioner Still Opposes Fassaic
Valley Sewer Plan.

The Metropolitan Sewerage Commission.
of which George A. Soper is president. has
recommended to Mayor Gaynor that the
city ask permission to intervene in the suit
in the United States Supreme Court that is
aimed to prevent the Passaic Valley Sew
craze Commission from carrying out its
plans to discharge the sewage of that dis
trict into New York Harbor. The suit was
brought by the State of New York some
wears ago. but it is said that the state is
about to withdraw its opposition because
the plans have been modified.
The Metropolitan commission holds that
no sewage from the State Of New Jersey
should be dumped into the harbor, no mat
ter hou much II may first be subjected to
so-caIled purifying processes.
At one time the United States was a, CO.
nIaJntif. but withdrew when the plans
were changed SO as to make it reasonably
certain that fish life in the harbor would
not be destroyed.
In a report which reached the Mayor yes
terday the Metropolitan commission said
that while il was not within its province
10 solve the problems confronting the Pas
ssio Valley Commission. yet it would sug-
rest that the sewage in that territory might
he DISCHARGED into Newark Bay.

This bill makes il optional with the Bo.rd

The bill, which was introduced In the
Senate by Senator Grady and In the AS

Board Of Estimate the power to appoint

178th street, was choked into unconscious
ness and robbed of IS in her home yester-

come inside and she would give him some
thing to eat.

sprang upon her just as she reached the
kitchen. Mrs. Stanton's dog was shut Ut
in one of the rooms. and his frantic bark
ing attracted the attention of an insurance
agent who was in the building.

tered and found her lying on the floor. An
ambulance was called. but before it ar
rived Mrs. Stanton had regained conscious
ness and refused medical aid.

His Latest Request.

There is a clever lad who will

fond look at the authoress of his
existence, he paused at the door to
say:
Mother, l am going to die, and
when | am no more l wish the doc
tor to cut me open and look at my
stomach"
The maternal heart was filled
with awful forebodings, and the ma
ternal voice asked what he meant.
81 wish it to be known" he an
swered, ''that l died of starvation
This was. enough. The small boy
was triumphant and retired to his
little bed gorged to repletion.

The ends Of the box are made Of
pieces of 2 by 8 bolted' together. A
hole bored in the center of each end
forms the bearings. The sides of the
box are made of one inch lumber and
are simply nailed to the ends with
twelvepenny nails. 0ne-half Of the
box is made so that it can be detached
and lifted off when the mixer is to be
filed or emptied. The detachable half
is secured to the other half by means
OF strong hooks so placed that by Slip
ping this half about an inch to one
side all Of the hooks are loosened at
once. After il is in position the re-
movable portion is held in place by
means of barn door latch.
The driving gear is simple, but very
effective. 1t consists Of the rim taken
from the wheel of an old rubber tire
buggy. With the tire removed the
grooved rim makes very satisfactory
wheel upon which to run a three-quar-
ter inch rope belt The belt is driven
by small sheave pulley, which is fas-
tened to the countershaft. A belt
tightener is used upon the rope, and
by using very loose belt the tight
ener is made to act as a friction clutch.
This particular mixer is driven by
two horse gasoline engine. which is
belted to the countershaft. The en-
gine runs continuously, and the mixer
is started and stopped by means Of
the belt tightener.
Many other systems of driving might
have been used in place of the rope
belt. The main gear of an old self
binder makes an excellent gear for
mixer. An old mower gear Inay also
be put to good use in this connection.
1t is not necessary to have the mixer
driven by an engine or horse power. A
crank may be attached and the ma
chine turned by hand. Many prefer
turning such machine rather than
mixing the concrete with a shovel.

Toy Spaniel an Old Breed.

The English toy spaniel is un-
doubtedly one of the oldest and
most popular breeds of pet dogs
known. As far back as the days Of
Charles the Martyr this breed was
much priced by the ladies of the
court. In the narrative of the ex-
ecution of Mary. queen of Scots. IN
dorsed in Lord Burghley's hand and
forwarded to the court, it was re-
corded that one of the execution
ers found her little pet Ia spaniel
of practically the same type as
those afterward known in the reign
of Charles H., which had crept
under the folds of her garments to
be near her and which would not be
taken away.-Bit and Spur.
