Turks Will Evacuate if Fleet
Forces DardaneIles. Says
British Official.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMsfs
United Press Corresnondept.

LONDON, March 5.-Constantino-
pie will not be bombarded. The old
Turks have sent word to England
that once the allied feet skaters its
way through the Dardanelles they
Will fee to Asia to save Islam's
capital from destruction. This sums
the statement made today by a high
official of the British government.
For the present at least he insisted
that his name be not used.
THE Old Turks party Is over
whelmed at the show of England's
naval strength" he tod me. The
battering in Of the outer forts Of
the Dardanelles astounded the Tur-
kish leaders. They want to make
show of resistance at the remaining
forts to save their faces before the
Turkish people; but above all things
they have sent word they want to
preserve the Turkish mosques from
devastation by shells from the Chris
tians."
From other sources I learned to-
day that the government is confident
that once the allied feet passes the
Dardanelles narrows the Islamic
Turks will flee from Stamboul. The
Ottoman capital will be surrendered
to the English French fleet. Accord
ing to rumors prevalent here the
Russians will be permitted TO take
the position of Pera, suburb of Con-
stantinople. but the Dardanelles will
be declared neutral forever.

PAVEMENT ABOUT

But Works Board Says Educa-

Following an appeal made by the
principals of the public schools for
noiseless pavements about the various
institutions, a conference between the
Board of Works, the Board of Educa-
ton and the principals of the schools
will be held in the near future. At
yesterdays meeting of the Board Of
Works a delegation of the heads Of
the schools appeared and pleaded with
the board to eliminate all noisy pave
ments surrounding schools, as the
health of the children attending the
institutions is impaired and their
progress in their studies very slow.
Claude L. West, principal of the
Newton Street School. and Elmer K
Sexton, assistant superintendent Of
city schools, headed the delegation
and placed the existing conditions be-
fore the board.
"Mr. Commissioners, in schools sur
rounded by noisy pavements, we are
foneed to stop all work as wagons go
by the school," said Mr.. West. You
can imagine the loss of time by such
waits and the pupils in these schools
do not receive a fair show. The

GILMORE MAKES
STRONG REPLY IN
PLAYER WRANGLE
Tells President of Boston Ma
tionaIs That Regulars Should
Practice as They Preach.

President James A. Gilmore, of the
Federal League, today sent a per-
sonal telegram to James Gaffney,
president of the Boston Nationals, in
reply to a message sent by the owner
of the Braves in connection with Bill
James, his star pitcher. James has a
contract with the Boston Nationals
calling for two more years of service,
but he has grown dissatisfied with
the terms of the contract and de-
manded a new one. Manager George
Stallings and the owners of the club
refused TO accede to his demands,
with the result that James got into
communication with the Federal
League officials, and 1t was reported
that he would be signed by the Chi
cago Feds.
When Mr.. Gaffney learned of the
report he sent a telegram to Charles
B. Weeghman, president of the Chi
feds, informing him that James was
under contract with the Boston Ma
tionals.
President James A. Gilmore made
the following reply to that dispatch
today:

garding players under binding con-
tracts, such as you say James has

Decision on RosevilIe Trust
Mans Appeal.

: TRENTON. March 5-The Supreme
Court today, in d per curiam opinion,
affirmed the conviction of William c.

the defunct Roseville Trust Company,
of Newark
Armstrong was sentenced by Judge
Martin to one year in the peniten-

The court, In it's opinion, said:
"This was.an indictment for a con-

pieces of evidence to attack that are
seen to be without merit when the
case is considered as a whole. Thus
considered, we have found no error

Five members Of the crew Of the
tug boat Virginia jackson had a
narrow escape from drowning last
evening. when the tug struck q sub
merged log in the Passaic river,
south of the Clay street bridge, be-
tween the Newark and East Newark
shore. The vessel sank in fourteen
feet OF water. Today the tug, with a
hole stove in her side, lies almost
submerged In the river and diver
is at work adjusting cables about the
sunken craft so that she may be
raised and pumped, out.
1t was due to their haste in get
ting to the top deck and casting off
the rowboat that the men owe their
escape, as the tug settled rapidly and
soon sank until the water reached
the middle of the pilothouse windows.
The names of the crew were given
by Captain Edward Begley, one of
the members of the company owning
the tug, as follows: James ]. Absley,
captain; John Schermerhorn, engi-
neer; William Barclay. fireman, OF
Jersey City; John Soxie, steward, and
John Hardy. deck hand, of this city.
In describing the accident, Captain
Apsley said:

Earthquake Causes
New Panic in Italy
By the Associated Press.

FLORENCE, via Rome, March g.
A slight earthquake shock lasting
four seconds, which was felt In Tus-
cany and other sections in the central
part Of Italy at 1855 o'clock last night,
caused no fatalities and only slight
material damage, according to re-
ports received here from various
points where the earth tremor was
observed. A panic was caused among
the people in the districts where the
shock was felt, as it was feared it
might presage a repetition of the re-
cent disaster in the Abruzzi district.
The fact that the tremor was ac-
companied by subterranean rumb-
lings has given rise to the belief that
it was of volcanic origin.
Reports from Tuscany and por-
ton of the Emilia region say the
shock was felt everywhere in those
sections with more or less severity.
At Pisa the first shock was followed
soon afterwards by another, both
were undulatory from the north to
the south and were attended by un-
derground rumblings. Many of the
residents of the city rushed to the
celebrated cathedral fearing the ef-
feet of the shock upon the leaning
tower.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, March s.
Coroner Eli Mix, investigating the
circumstances surrounding the suicide
of Lillian May Cook, the eighteen
year-old Brooklyn stenographer
whose body was found in West Rock
Park here yesterday, said today that,
as the result of report made to
him by his physicians, he believed
there were Sufficient indications to
warrant prolonging the examination
beyond the mere tracing of the course
of the bullet and establishing the
cause of DEATH"
The coroner said that he expected
to receive a complete report from the
physicians who performed an au-
topsy upon the body of the young
woman later in the day.
Federal authorities, occording to
Samuel J.. Reid, assistant United
States district attorney in Brooklyn
are also watching the case. IL
1t is shown that Miss Cook was
taken from Brooklyn to New Haven

foolish of me to deny them, because
they are known to many living here;
but let me say that there was never q
better girl living than Miss Cook.
There was absolutely nothing about
our relations that could be ques-
toned, and any rumors of that kind
that the absence of the girl has given
rise to are a terrible injustice to her.,
Captain James II. DonnellE, of the
New Haven police, who has investi-
gated the case for a week, RAID last
night that there was no reason to
doubt Mayo's story. Friends OF the
girl say that she had continually
talked about suicide during the twelve
months that she had been in New

had been sexton of a Brooklyn church,

SIX bOYSFACE
JUDGE MARTIN
AT COURT HOUSE
Jurist, However, Refers Their
Cases to the Juvenile
Court.

Six boys-four of them under six
teen years of age-stood in the prison.
er's dock in Judge Martins court
yesterday afternoon while the clerk
read a half-dozen indictments for
breaking, entering, larceny and re-
ceiving.
How do you plead?" asked the
clerk.
The smallest of the sextet, lad
of thirteen, who could barely see the
Judge, stood on his toes, looked over
the rail and asked. Whats that?'
The boy next to him turned pity
ing glance on his pal-as though to
say, shut up, Johnnie; don't show
that you don't know anything" Two
of the other boys looked at each other
in perplexity, then one got courage
and said in weak voice:
"Unguilty."
Another spoke up, Non vuIt."
Then the others followed: .sMe. too;"
Same here" Same for me- and
1.-THE same as Cholly."
Judge Martin ignored the pleas. Te
take them meant to disgrace the boys,
to put a big black mark against their
regulations when they grow up, so
the Judge acted as though they hadn't
retracted the not guilty pleas they
entered when arrested and the record
stood mot guilty.
''If you are allowed to plead non
yult' to these charges here" said the
court, you're names are blackened as
long as you live; you have record
you're classed as criminal. I won't
take your pleas and I'll have these in
dictments nolle pressed and then refer
your cases to the Juvenile Court
The records of the Juvenile Court
are not made public and can never be
seen by outsiders. The offense is not
called q crime in that court, but a
youthful indiecretion, so that the four
boys under sixteen will have no rec
ords against them in after-life.
The indictments against the gang"
were for the theft of block tin pipe
from vacant saloons, laundry from
laundry wagons, fruit and vegetables
and other goods from wagons, articles
from stores and houses and other
offenses in different parts of the city
during January and February. The
two boys over sixteen. George Ridge
and Peter Moran. had their pleas ac-
cepted and will be sentenced next
Monday by Judge Martin.

WOULD DESTROY
THE FURNITURE IN
OLD ALMSHOUSE
Health Officer Chandler Rec
ommends Course to Mayor
in Special Report.

Health Officer David D. Chandler
today recommended to Mayor Ray
mond in lieu of transferring the
furniture from the old almshouse to
Ivy Hill, that the same be destroyed
as soon as possible for sanitary rea-
sons. The linens. ETC.. he said, could
be saved In his report he states
that the officials of the almshouse
are not to blame for the vermin in
the furniture, but on the contrary
praises them for the manner in
which the place is so thoroughly
cleaned.
A conference between the mayor
and officials of the Building Trades
formers office. At that time Joseph
M. Byrne, a local labor leader, told
the mayor that he was informed
that the place was overrun with
vermin AS soon as this information
was communicated to him he asked
the Board of Health for a thorough
investigation.
Three inspectors were sent to the
old almshouse and thorough in
vestigation made. Every bed was
examined and separate report
sent to the mayor.
Even the linens, which the report
says, are the only articles now in
use at the almshouse which could
be sent to the new quarters would
have to be boiled before the trans
fer.
Mr.. Chambers report in full fol :.
lows:
Praise for AImsh0use Officials.
AS requested by you, the follow
ing is my report of an inspection
made by inspectors Cahill. Mulligan
and Devine, on the advisability OF
removing furnishings of the City
Almshouse.
About the only furnishings which
could be removed with any safety
from a sanitary standpoint would
be the linens, such as tablecloths,
towelings bedsheets, pillow-c cases,
bedspreads and blankets, which
would require a thorough boiling for
one hour in a per cent. solution of
carbolic acid
The other furnishings in the din
ing-rooms and dormitories, which
consist mostly of tables, chairs and
beds. are old and antiquated, and
are all more or less infested with
vermin.
The tables in the dining-rooms are
made of plain pine boards and, while
scrubbed and cleaned to q snowy
whiteness are, nevertheless, infested
with vermin such as water bugs or
cockroaches and their larvae. This
Is also true of the chairs and benches
in those rooms.
vermin Is Everywhere.
The chairs and tables in the dormi-
tories are infested mostly with bed
bugs and their larvae. There are
three hundred beds of which one
hundred have wooden frames to sup
port the wire mesh or springs. one
hundred and fifty are pipe iron and
fifty are wrought or solid iron. OF
the three different kinds these last
fifty are the most sanitary, but there
is every evidence of vermin and their
larvae in these frames, as well as the
