One-Piece Suit Aids Ida Elton
sky's Feat from Battery
TO NarrOWS.

Miss Ida Elionsky, the sixteen-year-
old sister of Henry Elionsky. of New
London, Conn. known among water
sportsmen as the human tugboat be-
cause of his many long distance swims.
Owed off the Battery wall Yesterday
afternoon and swan ten miles cut into
the Bay with hands and feet shackled,
down to the Narrows, opposite Fort
Wadsworth. The distance was COW
cred in two and three-quarter hours.
This is supposed to be the longest
test of it's kind ever achieved by a
woman. Because of her hobbled limbs
she had to propel herself somewhat
as a four-footed beast would with its
legs tied together The start was
made at 5 o'clock and she was helped
perceptibly by the outgoing tide Ida
sputtered and laughed when big waves
slapped her, but her red cap bobbed
along sturdily and she chatted contln-

A crowd gathered at the Battery to
see the start Many were skeptical
that the girl could weather the task.

standing about. Her brother, how

"Stand up, Ida, and let them see you"
he asked And Ida, who was seated in

swimming skirt it was possible TO see
what a sturdy girl she IS.
But when it came time to prepare
for the swim her brother looSened the

Pettit's 40 Deputies Seize
II Men for Making Al
legged Race Wagers.
DISTRICT ATTORNEY
ORDERS ACTION
Prisoners Taken from Club
house and Grandstand VIII
Have Trial Tomorrow.

An imposing band Of forty deputies
ably commanded by Honest steve
Petit. Sheriff OF Nassau County, round
ed up twelve alleged violators OF the
anti-betting laws yesterday at Belmont
Park. The activity was the result OF
Governor Whitman's telegram to DIS
trct Attorney Smith, in which the Gov
ernor said he would hold him TO strict
accountability for violations OF the
racetrack regulations.
Sheriff Petit modified his deputies
at Hampstead and dispatched them 70
the park, with instructions to arrest
everybody who was acting at all gus
pciously in a betting way.
As a consequence. the following horse
fanciers were arraigned before Justice
of the Peace Walter r. Jones last
night: Robert Capell, 100 Glenmore
Street. Brooklyn Nicholas Lascalzo,
2lg Twelfth Avenue, Astoria; Samuel
Braunstein. DAP East Twelfth Street,
Manhattan; Richard Weldon, 1852 Ryer-
son Street. Brooklyn; Henry Stedeker'
81 East Fifty-nnth Street, Manhattan;
Hugh Collins, PAL Lincoln Road, BROOK
lyn: William Farrell, $40 Fulton street,
Jamaica; Henry Hart, 1O8 East Houston
Street, Manhattan; Samuel Gordon, l4l
West Eighty-frst Street, Manhattan;
John ]. Gruddy, Pr Patchen Avenue
Brooklyn; Joseph Boone, 192 East
Nineteenth Street. Brooklyn, and
George Blong, sol Fifth Avenue Man
haitian
The prisoners were all represented
by William Mills, Of Is Court street,
Rrooklyn, who supplied 5000 bail for
each Of them for examination to-mor-
row.
The deputies were not particular
where they made arrests, as the men
detained we're taken from the club
house, the grandstand inclosure and the
field"
In commenting on the roundup, the
Sheriff said: "My instructions from
District Attorney Smith were explicit,
and | have had my deputies make ar
rests for the passing of one memoran-
dunn. the passing of one of more memo
randa and for the exchange of money
as indicating the settlement OF wag-
ers"
The passing Of memoranda or the
making of an oral wager have been
declared legal by the courts, ana race
track frequenters were generally OF
opinion that such betting as was done
Yesterday followed the Interpretation
of the law against public bookmaking.
The prosecution of new cases, however,
may throw additional light on the sub
ject.
District Attorney Smith, who will be
on hand tomorrow when the prisoners
are examined, had this to say: The
elimination Of racetrack gambling can
be settled in most decisive and per-
manent manner if the Legislature will
enact law making it felony to gam
BILE. II does not seem right that Mas
sau County should be put to expense
for repeated arrests which do not al
ways result in convictions unless con-
elusive evidence is obtained. The
passage Of one law actually prohibiting
gambling would have the desired eff
feet"

FLOATING P00LR00MS'
TOO SWIFT FOR POLICE
Inspector and Captain on Trial
for Failure to Check Gambling.

The inability Of the police to get
convicting evidence against floating
poolrooms," the operating methods Of
which were recently disclosed by The
Tribune, resulted in Inspector
George r. Wakefield. of the I'd District,
and Captain William II. Scoble, of the
Mercer Street station, being placed on
trial yesterday before Deputy Commits
sioner Lord.
Wakefield and Scoble are charged
with failing to report gambling in two
buildings, one in West Eighth Street
and the other on Broadway. Wakefield
testified that in the West Eighth Street
place he and his men drove out fifty
men. Wakefield admitted that he did
know that the owner was running a
floating poolroom," but did not deem
it necessary to serve a liability notice
on the landlord. who did not know the
character of his tenants.
The inspector testified that after sew
eral vain attempts to get evidence
against the Broadway poolroom he
asked Headquarters to send special
squad TO get the evidence. Captain
Scoble made the same defence. Deputy
Commissioner Lord reserved decision.

PACIFIC MAIL SHIPS,
WILL SAIL ATLANTIC
To Continue to Fly u. S. Flag,
London Report Says.
Bv Cable 10 The Tribune. /

London. Sept 3 "The Times" says
that assurances against marine risks
were yesterday completed in the Lon
don market on the five large passenger
liners which the international Mercan-
tile Marine Company purchased from
the Pacific Mail Steamship Company.
The liners had been employed in the
transpacific trade. but were withdrawn
owing to the national seaman's act.
The two largest vessels. the Man
churia and the Mongolia, each of which
is nearly 1900 tons, will probably be
employed in the North Atlantic pas
senger trade and the two smaller ves-
sells, the Korea and the Siberia, like
the American liners Kroonland and
Finland. will possibly be employed in
the service between New York and San
Francisco through the Panama Canal.
1t is understood that the liners will
continue TO fly the United States flag,
and are being insured against war risks
with the United States government.

SHAW NOW ATTACKS
FORCED SOLDERING
Says No One Is Justified in Ask

London, Sept. 1.-The Daily Sketch

by G.. b. Shaw 10 fellow Socialist on
compulsory service:
81 don't think anybody is justified in
asking anybody else 10 join. the army.
II is a serious question which every
man should decide for himself. II
seems to me that all Socialists should
advocate compulsory national service,
both civil and military, but compulsory
solGiering is another matter

Of any kind There is no reason why
the work of the army should not be
done by citizens with full civil rights.

preface Of tJohn Bulls Other Island

PRISON SIX MONTHS;
TO CHURCH FOR LIFE
Judge Also Gives Girl Short Ser
mon on Early Piety.

Six months in the Bedford Reforma-
tory, plus life term of church attend
snce. was the sentence imposed on
Thelma Seaman, nineteen, Of Baldwin,
Long Island. by Justice Clinton VI.
Flint, of Freeport. In addition to this
che culprit listened to judicial lecture
on the value of early piety which would
have done credit to Billy Sunday.
Thelma's salary as salesgirl in the
jewelry store Of George Fyfe, at Free
port, was not sufficient TO buy the ar
ticles of personal adornment which she
desired. Instead, she just took them,
and had acquired $3.50 worth of rings,
stickpins and bracelets before her EN-
ploYer missed them.
When brought before the Justice the
girl confessed her thefts. The court
then inquired if she was regular
church attendant, and when she ad-
mitted that she was not he delivered
himself of the following:
"All young girls should go to church.
! am going to send you to the Bedford
Reformatory for six months If youc
behavior there is good you vii! be free
at the end of that time. am then
going 10 see that you return to church
attendance"

SULZER TO HAUNT
TIGERS DREAMS
Tammany Nemesis Vengeance
Bent-RuSheS to Enter
Fall Campaign.

William SulZer, once Governor Of
this state, who last year founded the
American Party to get vindication for
his impeachment, began to lay plans to
inject himself into the campaign two
hours after he arrived yesterday from
an 1l,000mile trip through the West.
Just where or how he will break out
he did not know last night. How could
he? He had not had time to get in
touch with the leaders of the various
political parties. But, take it from him.
after studying the situation closely for
a few days and incidentally determin-
ing where il will be most to his ad-
vantage to fit in-he will give out a
statement that will brush away all
doubts as TO what SulZer is going TO do
Considering that the great passion of
Suffers life is TO get revenge on Tam
many and those who followed the
Tigers lead in hurting him down from
his great Office at Albany, it must have
been with establishment that the for
mer Governor learned on his return
that the Brooklyn branch Of the Ameri-
can Party had undertaken to support
the Democratic county ticket this fall.
SulZer refused TO comment on the ac-
tion Of his Kings County leaders, but
sent word that he wanted 10 see ex-
Senator James +. Duhamel at once.
The Ex-Governor would not say
whether he still had any idea of run
ming for Sheriff or District Attorney on
the American Party ticket, a plan con
ceived 10 injure Tammany. Suffers
party got some 5000 votes in this coun-
" year ago.
The Ex-Governor spent seventy-three
days travelling in the West, from
Alaska 20 Mexico, and waxed poetic
over the vastness and prosperity of
that country. One sentence is enough !:
I THE glorious West is only on the
Threshold Of its vast possibilities and
golden opportunities" Nor would Sui
ger talk about what he called "the mad
ness that is overwhelming civilization
across the ocean"

DEFIES FIREMEN
Building Soon a Smoking Heap
of Ruins-Injured Owner
Ignorant of Cause.

Two men were killed and two more
seriously injured when terrific ex-
plosion tore apart the Marano Fire
works Factory in the Granton district
Of North Bergen, y. j., yesterday. and
then burned the shattered structure
to the ground.
The dead are Carello Calvano. nine

Monroe Streets. Hoboken. suffering
from burns and several severe cuts.
David Calvano, brother Of Carello, was
also badly scorched.

bombs with powder when the explosion
occurred. Its force was tremendous.
The roof Of the building was ripped
away. The walls were shattered Mar
ano was lifted bodily and thrown
through the open door into the yard.
David Calvano. working some distance
from the bombs. was knocked down
and stunned. His brother and Brooks
were hurled against a wall and we're
dragged from the flaming ruins, dying.
Both were terribly burned. They died
shortly after they had been taken tt
the North Hudson Hospital.
The moment the explosion occurred
the factory burst in flames. 1t was a
himsilv built frame structure. The
fire fed eagerly on the dry wood and
the powder stored inside. There were
several minor explosions during the
blaze. and the crowd had TO stand at
a distance to avoid the embers which
were thrown into the air at each eX-
plosion.
SO rapidly did the fire do its work
that when the engines arrived prac-
ticallv nothing was left but a smok-
ing heap of ashes. Ambulance sur
peons from the North Hudson Hos
pital dressed the hurts of the injured
men. who insisted on being taken to
their homes.
No explanation has been found for
the disaster. Police questioned Mar
ano last night but he professed abso-
Lutte ignorance of how the explosion
occurred Every possible precaution
had been taken TO prevent accident.

that he had no clear recollection
