one OF the women VINO we're in the
car with McQuarrie and Emerson told
the detectives that as they stopped
their car they thought they heard
something scrambling through the
bushes alongside the road, on the river
side of the Drive. Detectives and uni
formed policemen went into the woods
on both sides OF the road. but were not
aiole to find any trace of the dead Of
ficer's assailants. DR.. Lapello said that
In his examination of the body as II
lay In the road he found no marks OF
violence, and that there was nothing
to indicate what had caused the po-
llcemans death.
The police believe that there might
be some connection between the killing
OF Patrolman Reuscheie and his recen,
activities. particularly his action on
September in arresting five men in
an automobile at Riverside Drive and
i77th street. These men had fvc
masks and four automatic pistols in
thicr car, and are said by the police

the possibility that friends OF these
men may have come along and either
shot Patrolmsn Reuschle or hit him in
the back with slung shot.
.Patrolman Reuschlc was 81 years
old. married and had two children. He
was big man and one of the athletes
of the Police Department. He went
on post at midnight and his body wns
found about an hour later.

japanese Vigilance Directed
ToWard American Naval Plans

The Japanese navai programme 1or
the next two years has already been
fully mapped out In accordance with
the systematic policy established by
the Government twelve years ago.
The Japanese navy for the next dozen
years at least will be projected on a
higher plane of efficiency than that Of
any other Government in the world
for the control of waters over which
the Japanese Government proposes to
exercise supreme domination.
There is a great deal more mystery
at least much less publicity--sur-
rounding the actual naval plans Of the
Milxado's Government than is true OF
any other country In the world.
Knowledge OF these plans is restricted
to the leaders of the Government IT.
self. Beyond the bureaucrats, who
guard the plans of the naval estab-
lishment from inquisitive eyes. little
or no information is permitted to find
its way into the newspapers or fur
nlsh the subject for controversy in
public discussion among the people.
The thoroughly disciplined Japanese
people limit their interest In the mat
ter to expressing confidence in the
ability OF the Government to provide
adequate offensive and defensive
measures and pride in the past accom-
plIshments of their fighting ships. The
technical men of the Japanese naval
establishment are much more con-
cerned over the plans OF the United
States than regarding those Of any
other country in the world. Diplomats
and business men are quite certain
that every step taken by the Japanese
Government regarding its navy is
prcdicated upon the belief of the Off
cials of the Milsado's Government that
the greatest menace to the plans for
expansion lies. to the east over the
Pacific.
Consequently the utmost vigilance
Is manifested by the Japanese eyes to
search for every detail thar will prob
ably be ignored by the American citi-
zens regarding the naval plans of their
own country.
budget Equivalent to s05o. .oo0. 900
Japanese politicians and naval Of
ficials still continue to harp upon the
disparity between the naval appro-
priations made to cover the next two
years construction by the United
States and their own country. They
instance the fact that the United
States has provided more than s4o0.-
100000 to Increase the efficiency " It's
naval establishment. while Japan has
limited It's naval budget to 500. 900. 900
yen, normally equivalent to $780,
900. 900. They fail. however. to point
out the fact that 100000 900 yen will
provide the equivalent OF $3.50. 900. 900
in material and labor. particularly the
latter, because a Japanese workman
engaged In the making OF fighting
ships receives only about one-third as
much as the American artisan sim
ilarly employed. while Japanese officers
and sailoruen receive only about one
fourth as much as officers and men
employed in the American navy.
The Japanese experts figure that tho
comparative product of the United
States and Japan In the way OF new
capital fighting ships In the next two
years will add ten vessels with a tom
mage of 100000 to the American navy

DOMINICK HENRY'S MEN
Activities of Meyer Commit
tee Said to Be Responsible
for Drastic Move.
LONG UNDER HOT FIRE
Handling of Vice and Liquor
Cases Ccnsured by. Courts
Boland to Take Charge.

One of the most unusual changes
ever made in the New York Police De-
partment will go into effect this morn
Ing at o'clock. when twenty detec-
tives, comprising the entire staff of
the inspector of the Third, or Tender
loin, district, will be transferred TO the
uniformed force and sent to patrol
duty in precincts outside the district.
This transfer follows closely on tho
transfer of Inspector William F. Boet-
tier from the command Of the Third
district to the Fifteenth district, in
Long Island City, and the transfer of
Inspector James s. Bolan from the
Second district to succeed Inspector
Boettler.
Virtually all Of the men transferred
were members Of the staff of Inspector
Dominick Henry when he commanded
that district, and several OF them, not
ably Detectives Brady and Rothamel.
were at work there when John +.
Dwyer was inspector six years ago.
But after O'Clock this morning every
one of them will have been sent to
other inspection districts, although the
usual procedure has been. when such
transfers were made, to send men from
one precinct to another in the same
district. Two OF the detectives sent
back to patrol duty are John j. Gun
son and Joseph Moloney, who recently
were under suspension and under trial
on charges Of which they were ac-
quilted.
Boettler Takes One Man.
Under ordinary circumstances 1t II
customary when an inspector Is trans
ferred for him TO take with him to his
new tcrritory three or four or the mon
who have been on his staff. But In
this case Inspector Boettler Is taking
but one. Detective O'Brien. who has done
his clerical work. All Of the other men
who served under Boettler and Henry
are being transferred and being sent
back to patrol duty. Inspector Bolan
will bring with him to the Third district
fourteen of the men who were on his
staff in the Second district He will
thus have fewer men by six than any
Inspector who ever commanded the Third
district.
The work OF the detectives on the in
spector's staff is confined to the vice
and liquor situations. and Inspector
Boettler's men have been in trouble and
in hot water for several months. Many
of them have been censured by the courts
for their testimony and for their meth
ods in making arrests. The same accu-
sations have been made against many
Of the uniformed patrolmen OF the dis
trict. and in the West Forty-seventh
street station, the centre of the Tender
loin's police activities, fifty men have
been transferred during the four months
that Capt. Donohue has been in COM
mand there.

Tight Lid Expected Next.

Capt. Donohue will be in command OF
the district for twenty-six days begin

vacation.
Police Headquarters refused to give
any reason for the unusual transfer OF
so many detectives-it Is understood to
be the first time that an Incoming in
spector has transferred the entire staff
OF his predecessor-but report In the
White Light district has II that the ac-
tivities there have been such that there

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC.

There have been many rumors

informed or wantonly untrue and
careless in their statements regard
ing the Franklinton road. 1t is not
true that the money set apart for
this road has been expended. The
original $4,000 is now on deposit
in the Hibernia Bank of New Or
leans and is drawing interest, await
ing the availability of the Govern
ment aid that will be appropriated
to it. This is also true OF the
$4,000 set aside for the Salt Bayou

ing and depressing to people situated
on this road between CoVington and

will be. no recurrence of these re-

MADISONVILLE TEAM DOES FINE
BALL PLAYING.

The Madisonville Baseball Club
has won a record this season that
has placed it in the top notch of Al
performances. Speck Ragan is one
of the players whose fine work is
attracting special attention. Sun
day, July 81, he pitched no-hit
game against the Hood Motor Co., OF
New Orleans, striking out II men
and walking only one, and only one
batter reached second. The fielding
in this game was fine also, the team
making no errors, with fine catches
by Lacroiy and some excellent stops
being made by Mire, Oulliber, Finly
and Pelloat. The catching of Stein
was also feature Of the game.
To-day the team will play Frank
linton. These two teams have play
ed two games, each winning one,
both games being hotly contested.
rhe game to-day should be very in
teresting.
Tomorrow (Sunday) they will
play the LaRose team of New Or
leans, which is expected to be close
game.
