Taking advantage of the typhoid
fever scare on the Park Slope, Brook

of 425 West 25th st., Manhattan,
equipped himself with a microscope and

see how they had escaped infection, and
advised them to fit their faucets with
the filters which he carried in another

Finally, Mrs Joseph Benjamin, of 392

OF POLICE TURNS
GOLD INTO IRON WASHERS
Real Estate" Dealers Who Bring Thousands in Cash
to Buy House Arouse Suspicious of
Wary Woman.

1--WE Cannot Play the Old Game" may
be the title Of a song composed by
Arthur Raymond and Pimo Carinti,
during their prospective sojourn in the
Richmond County Jail. They were
brought in last night by Detective Ora
ham, who picked them up at the St.
George ferry house as they were about
to embark for Manhattan.
The story of their downfall was told
by the police, and the dramatic touches
furnished by Mrs. Cecilia Johnson, a
widow who lives at Concord, Staten
Island. Mrs. Johnson, formerly Of
Manhattan, owns considerable property
on Staten Island. -,
Last week Raymond betook himself
to Mrs. Johnson's home and asked II
she had any real estate to dispose OF:
Mrs. johnson replied that she would
sell her house for $4,000. But Ray
mond, according to Mrs: Johnson
story, couldn't think of allowing her
TO take so trifiing sum, and said ne
felt sure that man he knew would
give ner $4,000. So far, so good.
Then came the clever work: fester-

he imagined, the plot of this story re-

thought Mrs. Johnson, but cash is cash,
and when Raymond and Carinti stated
that they mad brought much money, as
an evidence of their good faith, Mrs.
Johnson deigned to look. 1t was but
the work of a moment to unite the
bags and produce fstful of real, sure
enough currency-also some rolls Of
gold coin.
Although that looked convincing,
Mrs. johnson expressed desire TO
have her lawyer present before sign
ing any papers. Raymond and Carinti
agreed to that, she said, but thought it
better to return another day to close
the deal. Meantime they would leave
the satchel, containing $500, in her
care, and as long as she had so much
Of their money, perhaps she would not
mind lntrusting about $4,000 to them.
Mrs. johnson couldn't quite grasp
the idea, and then the real estate
operators" decided not TO leave the
treasure chest. The deal was off. They
would take all that money back to
Manhattan. So they departed, and Mrs.
Johnson was so puzzled that She called
up the police and sought counsel.
The result was the arrest of the man.

CROWDS SEE TWO
DROWN in RIVER
Launch Upset by Barge
Off Whitehall St.-Seek
Third Victim.

In view OF thousands OF homegolng
commuters and at an hour when
the river swarmed with craft, two,
perhaps three, men met death by
drowning when their motorboat cap
sized in the North River after being
struck by barge of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company. Eyewitnesses assert
that the death list is three, rs they
claim to have seen three men In the
launch. Only one body has been re-
covered.
The body recovered is that Of Bert
A. Abbott, forty years old, Of 90
South Elliott Place, Brooklyn. He was
proofreader on "The New York
Press"
Frank w. Rowland, forty-two years
old, employed by the Autoplate Com
pany, Of l Madison av., is known to
have beer in the boat and is missing
Friends of Abbott and Rowland dis
claimed knowledge of third man.
Captain John A. Baradine. of the
tug Lizzie D., made an heroic effort
to save Abbott. He dived and recov-
cred the body, which was worried over
for half an hour before hope was aban
doned. Rowland, so far as is known,
sank unobserved.
The accident occurred at $50, and
a crowded Staten Island ferryboat was
within 20 feet Of the scene of the cap
sizing. Erie and Lackawanna boats
were not more than few hundred feet
distant.
Summoned by the cries Of the men,
the ferry passengers rushed t, the
rails in time to observe Baradine's
thrilling attempt to save Abbott.
Abbot. and Rowland were members
of the Ben Machree Boat Club, of
Bensonhurst. The launch, Dorothy
was 30-foot motorboat aud the prop
erty of Abbott. Both men were eXpe-
rienced boatmen and Abbott was
thought to have been good swimmer.
The Dorothy was off Whitehall st,
when the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany tug hove near. Attached to the
side of the tug was barge. The
motor boat was stalled, and the two
men failed TO observe the approaching
tug.
The tugs position at the side of the
barge blocked the view of the tugs
captain, and the smaller boat was hit
by the barge. Although the men
aboard it were aware of what had hap
pened the tug continued on it's way TO
Jersey City.
A dozen craft were in the neighbor-
hood, including the tug Lizzie D.
From the time that the boat was
struck nothing was seen of Rowland,
and it is supposed that he sank i'm
mediately.
About an hour after the accident
man who claimed to be the steward Of
the Pennsylvania tug called Police
Headquarters on the telephone.
The man asserted that those aboard
the tug sped OF their way when they
saw that Abbott, whom they thought
to be the only man in the launch, was
apparently rescued. The police are
looking for John Coleman, who, ac-
cording to officials Of the railroad com
pany, is the captain of the tug.
Abbott was a widoWer and had come
from Duluth, Mimi, where he is said
to have two children. Rowland lived
in West 1SOth st. and was mechanical
engineer.

At the time that William J. Iaynor

patrolman was assigned to each JUS

Commissioner of Police, rushed
through a bill creating the rank OF
first grade in the detective force, with
q salary of $3.50, equal to that paid
detective lieutenants and desk heuteh-
ants, Gaynor wrote to Bingham ASKING
him to make States hrst grace
sIeuth. Bingham's reply was refusal
The Commissioner told Gaynor that ne
wanted TO reward detectives VINO de-
tected and that to promote states
would be a violation OF the law.
When Gaynor became Mayor one OF
Police Commissioner Waldo's hrst acts
was to make States a first grade man.
For some time States was not called on
to do any sleuthing.
In going over the records Of the de-
tectiyes in his reorganization study
Mr.. Rubin naturally struck States's
record and found that the detective
had done nothing to warrant his con-
tinuance as a first grade man. SO
down he went. When States, who has
some strength among the Supreme
Court justices in Brooklyn, learned Of
this he exclaimed despondcntly:

last night started a riot, and were
greeted by the police instead OF the
Ex-Governor.
What started as good natured banter
over straw hats in the crowd developed
into disorder of such proportions that
the reserves Of the Lenox av. station
had to dispense the throng with drawn
clubs. Two arrests were made and two
patrolmen were injured in the process;

Sulzer was speaking further north
while the rioting was at its height.

stretched his speech so that e did not

had died out. Then he stopped just
long enough to let the crowd see him
