HALTS BEGGAR'S CAREER
Court Gives Americas Most
PICTURESQUE CRATER" 6 Months.

William Edgar Finlay's odd career OF
vaerancv was halted yesterday when
Magistrate Murphy, in the Tombs court
sentenced him to SIX months in the WORK
house Magistrate Kernochan was respoh-
sible for the apprehension and conviction
NJ the man, whom Mr.. Forbes, superin-
tendent Of the Association for the Pre-
yention of Mendicancy, termed "the most
picturesque CRATER in America
The game" he had been working lot
some time and which finally led to his
arrest was his posing as a groom under
Samuel Willett, Of the Meadow BROOK
Hunt Club. He would write TO the various
members of the club that he had been
kicked and badly injured by horse ana
almost invariably he would receive, IN
way OF reply, a s. or $40 bill. Magistrate
Kernochan eventually was appealed to and
his Investigations led him to send a warn
ing letter to the other members Of the
club.
Other characters Finlay assumed sue
cessfully by reason Of his education were
those Of q descendant Of old New YORK
families, a clergyman in distress and
relative Of the Lees. Of Virginia.
The police say Finlay has served two
previous terms in the Workhouse' one OF
five years in Sing Sing for grand larceny
and another of two and one-half years IN
Philadelphia for begging.

Patrolman Accused of Writing to the
Mayor Placed on Trial.

After being eight years on the police
force. Patrolman Edward G. Wolf. of the
Charles street station, was placed on trial
at Police Headquarters yesterday morning
charged with writing letter to Mayor
Gaynor last July. in which serious charges
were made against James T. Dillon,
Deputy Police Commissioner. inspectors,
captains and others. The Mayor sent the
letter TO Commissioner Waldo, and Deputy
Commissioner Dillon took II up. Men con-
nected at various times with Coney Island
were the subject of the attacks in the let
Ter. The memorandum books Of the men
in the precinct were inspected, and by
elimination, Commissioner Dillon says, sus-
picion narrowed 10 four or five men.
He picked out VOLTS handwriting az
being nearest 20 that in the letter to Mayor
Gaynor, and sent for the patrolman. Then
he dictated 10 Wolf the same letter sent
to the Mayor The deputy commissioner

letter.

THRONGS SEE BOY KILLED
Just Emerge from Synagogues
When Car Runs Child Down.

AS he was hurrying home for his suPpe'
last night Phillip Sesel ten years DID, was
run over and killed by a ll6th street cross
town car. The accident happened IN front
of the child's home. at No. 10 East lloth
street. The thoroughfare was crowded at
the time, the usual throngs being aug
mented by those who had just LETT the
synagogues I'm the neighborhood after
day spent in prayer.
When the boy was drawn beneath the
wheels OF the car hundreds hurried to the
spot, and at first 1t seemed likely that the
motorman, James Currie. OF No. COS Tenth
avenue. would be attacked by the excited
men and women. The fact that the child
was still under the car, however, distracted
attention from the motorman. Some one
found a heavy plank, and 1t was inserted
under the wheels and the car raised SUM
GENTLY so that the body could be taken
out.
DR.. Baker, OF the Harlem Hospital VINO
RESPONDED to an ambulance call, said tina
child had died almost instantly. The pody
was first taken to the East 126th street sta
ton and then to the ilegel home.

BOYS BIRTH DOUBLES LOSS
Widow Asks $4,000 for Death
of Father-Same Value on Scalp

Two suits in which the recently amended
employers liability act figured attracted
the attention OF lawyers in the supreme
Court yesterday. One of them provided the
added interest of showing how even the
stern front of justice may be softened py
the tiniest bit of humanity
Suit was brought against the Riter-Con'
ley Manufacturing Company, asking S6'VV
on behalf of the widow of William Johnson
who was killed last February by falling
beam while working on a building being
erected by the defendant company Nhen
Il came up before Justice Gavegan yester-
day the attorney for Mrs. Johnson moved
that the complaint be amended TO demand
$4,000 damages. The justice showed sur
prise but at whisper from the attorney
granted the motion. 1t appeared that q
baby boy had been born to the widow on
the preceding night.
The defendant concern argued that Johh-
sons death was due to contributory negh-
gence, but It is now incumbent upon IL 10
prove this under the amended law. instead
of leaving the burden of proof on the PLAIN
tiff
The other case was that of Elizabeth
O'Rourke. Of No. Sc Amsterdam avenue
who was suing McKesson & Robbins, whole
sale druggists. to recover S0OD damages
for the loss Of her hair and scalp. She
maintained that while working at ono OF
the defendants pill machines on August ",
1900 her hair became entangled IN re-
volying shaft that was not properly pro-
tectod Contributory negligence was again

BOY, LONG I'LL, KILLS SELF
Puts Two Bullets Into Mouth
While Alone in Home.

Evidently in a fit OF dependency over a
heart affection that left him weak and half
worthless physically for more than year.
Edison Shaw, n seventeen-year-old boy.
killed himself while he was alone in his
home, at No. Ill5 10Th street. Bay Ridge
yesterday afternoon. His mother and sis
ter saw him lying quiet and still on the
bed. but thought he was asleep.
The lad must have killed himself between
. and $50 o'clock in the afternoon, while
his mother and sister were on shopping
trip in Brooklyn. When they looked into
his room on their return he was apparently
asleep on his bed, and they pulled his door
half shut, so he would not be disturbed.
Mrs Shaw and her daughter Catherine
busted themselves with preparations for
dinner, and when II was ready and on the
table Mrs. Shaw called:
Come on, son, dinners ready"
She was alarmed when there was no an
swer and thought her son had tainted. She
could not see what had happened, for the
boy had shot himself twice in the mouth
and there were no visible wounds. Cath
crime ran around a few blocks to the home
OF Or. Gordon Lindsay, at NO. 1881 list
street.
When Or. Lindsay came he found re-
volver under the bed and notified the Fort
Hamilton police stations The police did
not tell the boys frantic mother what had
killed her son. She knew he had heart
disease. and believes he just went 10 sleep
and never woke. Friends of the family
are sure II was the boys condition that
led him to kill himself.

The Hamburg American liner Deutsch-

ago when the transatlantic record was
snatched from her by the Cunard hyei
Iusitania, will arrive here this morning In
disguise. The word Deutschland" has
been taken from her bow and in It's place
is the name Victoria Luise.
She went away to Hamburg dressed In
black She returns in white raiment Her
fine lines are the same. but the great Ger
man liner has undergone a great change
within. Her high powered engines. which
gave her her record breaking speed, have
been replaced by new. but slower ones In
short. she is a cruiser now capable OF TAX

OF these she can carry many. According
10 the owners those who knew the Deutsch-

they go aboard and inspect her

SHIPS PASSENGERS AT ODDS
Father Vaughan's Jest on Votes
for Women" Causes Split.

Father Bernard Vaughan, the well known
Jesuit and missionary OF England, arrived
here yesterday from London on the At
lantio Transport liner Mlnnetonka. He will
remain here until March, and will preach
at various Roman Catholic churches in this
city and elsewhere While in New York
he will stay at the parish house OF the
Church OF st. Ignatius Loyola, at Park

out from London and many Of the passen-
gers had become acquainted Harry Phillips
a little Englishman, who has espoused the
cause OF woman's suffrage, agreed on re-
quest TO give a lecture on the subject In
the liners lounge. Every one was invited,
and nearly every one not affected by the
rough weather attended.
Mr.. Phillips, who comes here TO lecture
on votes for women" was introduced by
Father Vaughan. who had been asked TO
preside His talk amused Father Vaughan
greatly. For the sake Of argument, I'm a
good humored way the priest took excep-
ton to the speakers remarks. and in
few words gave his own opinion Of
"woman's proper place in the community"
which ne said was the home.
Some OF the women did not like the views
of the priest. and, according to the passen-
gers, Mr.. Phillips was not pleased when his
arguments We're opposed. The disgruntled
ones told stories yesterday of a factional
split in the passenger complement and de-
scrbed the argument OF the priest as hav-
ing been given more in seriousness than
in Jest.
Father Vaughan laughed when the stories
were reported TO him yesterday and was
surprised 10 think any one had taken him
seriously. 81 made reply" he said, "in a
light hearted way. I had not the slightest
intention OF hurting the feelings Of any
