LOOKING FOR SITES TO LOCATE CAMPS

PARK BOARD WILL NOT ALLOW SOLDIERS TO CAMP AT
 lBEARDSLEY PARK.

The Park commissioners have de- cloed that Beardsley park is no place Tor soldiers camp because of the possible contamination of the city's water supply which is nearby, so that Capt.

 Captain Willing had previously ~vis- lted Beardsley park and concluded that that would make an ideal place for the camp of the chief umpire and attaches.

.CITY'S DEMURRER
 IS 0VERRULED Court Holds City Did Not Give Company Notice
 of Hearing SEASIDE PARK EXTENSION For Tract Taken for Park Purposes $10, 400 Was
 Allowed

The Wheel & Wood Bending Co has won the first legal skirnish in it's dispute with the city regarding the extension of Seaside park from Barnum Dike to Fayerweathers is- land. Judge Burpee of the superior court has overruled the city's demur- Ter to the application asking that the action of the board of appraisal De nullified. The court finds that the city clerk failed to give the Wheel & Wood Bending Go. notice of a hear ing when the park extension was dis cussed. This upholds the contention of the applicants.
 The history of the case goes back to November, 1909. Horace w. Smith Charcy s. Smith of this city. and Evelyn S. Foster of Brooklyn, N. Y. as executors and trustees under the will of Horace Smith, owned a tract of 13 acres, adjoining Seaside park on the west. This land was desired by the city in order to extend the park
 In November, 1909, the common council voted in favor of acquiring land for the extension. In~ January 1910, the Wheel & Wood Bending Go allege they bought the land in ques- ton from the trustees of the Smith estate. On June G.. 1910, the comm or council voted to have d committee ap- pointed to lay out the extension and have surveys made. The board o1 appraisal to whom the matter was referred awarded damages of $70,00C to the owners of the land.
 This action did not please the com pany. An application was filed in the superior court claiming that no prop. CT notice of the hearing had been re ceived. The company declared it had suffered damages of $70,00O and ask ed that the board of appraisa1s ae- tion be set aside. The city attorney demurred to the application upon the ground that sufficient and legal no tice had been given to the Wheel Wood Bending Go.
 In overruling the city's demurrer the court says in. a memorandum The charter of the city expressly re quires notice of these proceedings tc take private property for public ust to be given, and indicates how anC when. The notice therefore must b, given and given in strict conformit, to the charter. The failure to giv, such notice is a fatal error. Unles it can be shown that such notice ha, been waived, it renders t1s proceed ings null and void and may be takei advantage of atsany tine.''
 The courts decision means that tn city must start proceedings over again Proper notice must be given. to tn, Wheel 6 Wood Bending Co. regard ing the city's plans to extend tn, park.

BEHEADED BODY FOUND ON TRACK
Railroad Men Advance Theory of Suicide Easing Belief on
 Condition of Body

Lying unidentified at the morgue of 3Rourke & Rourke is the decapitated body of young man, apparently 20. found lying on the railroad viaduet at dawn today by the engineer of a passing freight train.
 $ The head lay at considerable dis tance from the body. Aside. from the severing of the head, the body. was not mangled in the least. This fact lends color to the theory of suicide was comfortably but poorly clad. There wasn't a cent in the pockets. The engineer who discovered the body reported his find at the East End yards, and when word was wired into the station, men were dlspatched from the baggage room with a stretch CT. They carried the remains further east until they reached a spot near the American & British Mfg. Co plant where it was possible to lower the body to the street Medical Ex- Rourke to take charge of the remains and the morgue wagon relieved the strainmen of their find at this point.
 The following description was com piled at the morgue: Height, feet 2 inches; weight, 1855; eyes, hazel; hair, heavy and dark brown, almost bearq- less face; stone ring on right sfourtn finger; brown coat of diagonal cut. grey cotton trousers, wool cap or black, white, brown and yellow mix ture; blue and white striped shirt; no understanding, heavy shoes, The clotn- ing held nothing to lead to his 1den- tification.

Grand Jury Probe Goes Over Till Tomorrow to Straighten Out Diff
 ferences Whitman Won't Let Becker Testify Unless He Agrees to Waive Immunity from
 Prosecution
Notice Sent Out to Other Cities to Get Certain Men Whose Description Is
 Furnished

New York, July 22.-Because of a
 hitch which arose between the dis
 trict attorney and the grand jury re-
 garding what witnesses should be ex-
 amined in the gambling probe, and
 also because Mrs. Herman Rosenthal
 wife of the murdered gambler, was
 too i'll to appear. today's session of
 the grand jury investigating the ai-
 legged alliance between the gamblers
 and the police was ineffective. The
 grand jury wants to call before it Po-
 lice Lieutenants Charles Becker, Dan
 Costigan and Dominick OReilly. They
 have been in command of the raiding
 squads which have been operating
 against the gamblers.
 District Attorney Whitman refused
 to permit Becker, who was, today, de-
 posed from squad duty and sent to, 8 desk in the Bronx station, to testify
 unless he will sign waiver, of i'm munity.
 Any witness called by the grand jury and forced to testify in any mat ter being investigated automa tically
 receives immunity Whitman says that he did not intend that Becker should be given this advantage. To give the district attorney z chance to decide what should be done i the jury soday postponed < genera consideration of the gambling situa. | tion until tomorrow.
 Mrs. RosenthaI win probably testify tomorrow. It is stated that she has lsan of the information her husband 1 had and. also that she has all of his
 memoranda showing in detail his oper- ations with the police force. She will also give the grand jury the names of men she says can corroborate her | husbands story of how and to whom l tribute was paid. It was reported to- day that she will directly accuse a high police official of accepting money to permit gambling houses to run.
 There was much amusement at po- I lice headquarters when it was stated that Becker had been relieved from squad duty. It had been rumored l that he was to be suspended, but this rumor was set at rest by the order transferring him to desk duty in the Bronx.
 Attorneys for 'Bridgie" Webber and
 Sam Paul, arrested in connection with the recent Rosenthal murder, announc- ed they would immediately sue out warrants for the release of their eli ents. Attorney Marshall said:
 'eThe arrest of my clients was forc- ed by the hysterica1 attitude Commis- sioner Waldo has assumed and there is not enough evidence against either of them."
 Lieutenant Becker refused today to say whether he was willing to waive immunity and go before the grand jury and tell what he knew about the
 gambling situation.

He was also able to swallow little liquid nourishment His tenn perature had fallen, he breathed more freely and his pulse strengthened.
 All these favorable symptoms failed to encourage the physicians and they issued a bulletin stating the Mikado remained extremely weak. As the day advanced, the sufferer began to lose ground Consciousness left him ex-' cept at intervals and then he was only semi conscious. s' '.
