WISE JUDGE RESTORES
PEACE TO RUFFLED COPS

A tale of when Greek meets
Greek" was unfolded in the First
Precinct Court this morning before
Judge Hahn, with William Byrne, of
361 South Eleventh street, detective
attached to the prosecutors office,
and officers Fink and Brown, of the
Sixth precinct, as the belligerents.
The affair started at the police eX-
cursion yesterday, when, as Byrne
was sitting on the lower deck of the
boat, quantity of-er-ginger ale
splashed down on his brand-new suit
from the upper deck. The indignant
Byrne Immediately rushed up in the

whom he accused of throwing the
liquid. Imminent hostilities were
quelled by mutual friends. Byrne re-
turned to the lower deck and the Off
GERS to their-er-refreshm
When the boat locked in Newark
last night Byrne confronted the
policemen and demanded an apology.
You must be crazy to think a cop
would apologize" Is what Byrne as
serts he was greeted with. Enraged.
he displayed his authority and
threatened to lock the policemen up.
This was greeted with roars of
laughter from his enemies and an
appreciative audience that had
quickly gathered. He himself was
finally hailed to the station-house by
Fink and Brown. Judge Hahn, after
reprimanding the men, delivered his
decision that Misunderstanding was in
order. This, after some hesitation
on the part of Byrne, was done.

FLOORWALKER CONFESSES
BROAD ST. STORE THEFT

Pleading guilty to a charge of hav-
ing stolen goods to the value of more
than $1,000 from a Broad street de-
partment store, where he had been
employed as a foorwalker, Frederick
M. Poole, SO years old, of 226 West
Fiftieth street, New York, was held
in bail of $4,000 in the First Precinct
Court this morning.
Poole was arrested late yesterday
afternoon by Detective Owens as he
was leaving the store. When searched
two shirtwaists were found concealed
m his clothing. At police headquar-
tiers Poole made a complete confess
sion, and stated that the robbery had
extended over period of more than
a year.
1t was at first thought that the
amount of goods stolen would not ex-
coed a few hundred dollars, but an
investigation disclosed that many
times that amount of valuable dress
goods and shirtwaists had disap-
peared from the stock-room during
the past year. A chance remark by
the prisoner led to a search of his
home being made, and hundreds of
dollars worth of merchandise was
found hidden there.

WOULDN'T PAY $40 FINE,
ALTHOUGH HE HAD MONEY

Although he had money, Albert
Nieman. 10 years old, of "a Stratford
place, a peddler, refused to pay a
$40 fine in the Second Precinct Po-
lice Court today.
He was driving his wagon at Thir-
teenth street and Ninth avenue when
Mounted Sergeant Schreiner stopped
him and asked him where his ped
dlers license was.
Here II is" said Nieman, point
ing beneath the seat.
Schreiner told him that the law re-
quired a peddler to exhibit his license
on the outside of his wagon and
threatened to arrest him If he found
him again with his license hidden
from view. Nieman became abusive
and the officer arrested him.
When the judge found that the
peddler had previously deposited $40
for his appearance l.. vuurt he had
him brought back.
you may pay your fine with the
$40 you deposited here, If you want
to- said Judge Oehring.
II don't want to-" snapped Me
man.
Another peddler, William Schmall,
81 years old, of 141 Clinton street,
New York. was also fined $40 upon
the complaint of License Inspector
George A. Roehm.

VOTARIES OF THE TANGO i.
DENY IT IS INJURIOUS

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-Votarfes of
the tango have taken assertions made
in the convention of chiropodists that
the new dances ruin the instep and
delicate muscles of the foot, very
much to heart, and are prepared to
show if danced correctly the tango
strengthens the feet.
The chiropodists, who continue
their sessions in the Hotel Marlbor-
ough- Blenheim, attested the fact that
since the turkey trotting craze began
their practise has swelled, for dane
ing matrons who used to call for
monthly treatment are now forced to
come every week. However, trotters
deny the new dances harm feet.
In Bustanobys, Murray Anderson
pooh-poohed the idea that the tango
ruined the instep
"Of course, excessive dancing of
any sort makes work for the chiropo-
dist, but that applies just as much
to the minuet and two-step if too
long continued. When you dance too
long at anything the feet get into
bad condition. Many dowagers who
never danced before now trot, and
that may swell the bank account of
the chiropodist, but it is foolish to
insist the instep or anything else of
the foot comes to harm through the
tango"

enlarged the hole.
The matter slipped Connor's mind
and yesterday he visited several
stores along Ferry street, seeking
aims. He had fistful of silver when
he saw Plainclothesman Council of
the Mendicancy squad looking at
him. He hastily slipped his hand
into his pocket, let go of all the
coins but a nickel and withdrew his
hand. With this he was going into
store to buy another spool of
thread, but alas, he had waited too
long. for "jingle, jingle went the sill

Then Connors was locked up as a
beggar by Connell. Today Judge
Hahn fined him s25 in default of

months.

was lost; for want of the needle
and thread the pocket was lost; for
want of the pocket the money was
lost; for want of the money that
was lost his liberty was lost and all

CHILDREN CONTEST
FATHERS REQUESTS
File caveat Against Will of
George Green, Who Died
in BeIleviIIe.

A eaveat has been filed in the sur
rogate's office against the probate of
the will of the late George Green,
who died at his home on Jeralomon
street, -Belleville, on July II last. The
caveat was filed today by Albert w.
Harris, as proctor for George V. K.
Green, Mabel D. Green and Maude
M. Green, children of the deceased,
all of whom are of age and live in
Brooklyn.
The will was offered for probate on
July 30 last by Mrs. Cornelia Annie
Green, who is named in the document
as sole legatee and executor of the
estate, the value of which is not stat
ed. The will directs that all moneys
in the Seaman's Savings Bank, New
York. and in the Brooklyn Savings
Bank, Brooklyn, in the name of Mrs.
Cornelia Annie Green, as trustee for
George Green, shall go to her as we'll
as all the residue of the estate.
A separate provision also provides
that Mrs. Cornelia Annie Green shall
be the beneficiary of a $4,000 life in
surance policy held by the deceased in
the Royal Arcanum.
The will was drawn in Brooklyn on
June s, 1904, and besides the above
provisions contains, although it was
Drawn long before the time OF that
disaster, the Titanic clause in that
provision is made for the distribution
of the estate should the death of Mr..
and Mrs. Green take place at the
same time. In that event the estate
was to go to Amelia NJ Weaver and
NJ. Alice Weaver, sisters of Mrs. Cor
nelia Annie Green.
The Titanic" provision is so-called
by the fact that since that disaster
in April. 1912, where so many hus
bands and wives went to their deaths
together. many wills have contained
a provision for the disposition of
property in the event of husband and
wife dying together.
The three children who propose to
contest the will of their father are
not the children of Mrs. Cornelia An
ME Green, but are the children of a
wife from whom il is said the de-
ceased had been separated for a num-
Der of years.

PROVES DENTISTRY WAS
A PROFESSION AGES AGO

NEW YORK. Aug 6.-Apparent
evidence that dentistry was a profess
sion in prehistoric ages has been dis
closed by Professor Marshall H. Sa-
vile. archaeologist of Columbia Uni
versity, who returned Yesterday from
en- exploring expedition in South
America. Human skulls containing
teeth filled with gold were among the
interesting discoveries made by Pro-
fessor Saville while excavating in Ec-
uador. Pottery, weapons and the
works of gold and silver smiths of
ancient periods were also found and
brought here by him.
In some of the skulls the front teeth
are inlaid with ornamental DEVICES
thought to have been designs of social
or official rank. In molars gold had
been imbedded in such manner as
to lead Professor SaVille to believe
that men of the period practiced
tooth filling as q profession

A stitch in time would have saved
three months in jail.
David Connors is the man who has
created the new version of the old
adage. Connors also philosophers
that "a nickel in the hand is worth
so cents in the pocket" and its too
late to stitch the pocket after the
horse is stolen"
Despite his tumble of wisdom Con-
nors has good reason to hand out
the proverbial talk. for he will Ian
guish in Jail for the next ninety days
because of a little piece of thread.
Connors lives in a lodging house at
S23 Market street, or did live there
until last night. A few days ago he
noticed a wee hole in one of his coat
pockets. 1t grew a little bigger and
then the owner of the coat bought a
needle and spool of thread. The
needle he stuck in the lapel of the coat
and the thread he dropped into the
pocket. Before he could use the needle
and thread the latter had worked its
