Who Shot Detective, All.
legged To Be a 'Psycopath.
ic' Victim by Jerome

Charles T. Davis. Brooklyn manu-
!acturer of surgical instruments. was
5nalcted yesterday by the Kings County
Grand Jury on three charges--one for
murder in the first degree and two for
nrst degree assault. The murder
charge grew out of the killing of De-
tective Sergeant Joseph Brdgetts in
Davls's Office last Thursday afternoon,
and the assault indictments, for the al
.,eged shooting of Detective Edward U.
McGlone and George W. Koran.
Inc grand jury examined ten wit
nesses before. returning the indict-
ments. One witness is alleged to have
5estihed that he saw Bridgetts and
rifle. '''l
Davis will be arraigned before Coun-
ty Judge May to-day. Insanity will
probably be his defense.
IhIs prediction was made yesterday
by William Trayers Jerome, folIowinp
the announcement of Howard p Nash,
counsel for Davis, that the former Dis
trlct Attorney of New York County
mad been retained to take charge Of
the defense.
Mr. jerome said he expected arrange
ments would be completed to-day. and
declared at, from IN initial survev
OF the facts, he had failed to find anv
motive for the alleged actions Of Davis,
I'm the absence of a motive, it is nv
opinion the case is a psychopathic
one," said Mr.. Jerome. "Fron informa-
ton / have under consideration it is
apparent Mr.. Davis is a victim of men
tai trouble, and / think this probably
can be shown.
"Other than being Of unsound mind.
| cannot see that Mr.. Davis had any
cause for the alleged shooting. The
incident Of the lost automo obile had
neen cleared up prior to the happen
ing, and it does not appear ehere was
any quarrel in the Office between Mr..
Davis and the detectives.
Il am to a degree actuated in going
into the case by reason of my interest
in mental disorders associated with
rash acts, and this one presents an
extraordinary condition. which, how
ever, it would not be advisable for me

Firemen Snuff Out Candles
And the Village Must Light Up
Iapers Called Menace, SO Greenwich Cafes Are
Emerging From the Cleaning, Despite Wall
That Dinner Checks VIII Shrink and Shrivel

a general movement on the part of
the Fire Department to discourage the
use of candles in restaurants and
public places has borne with special
hardness upon the blithe spirits of
Greenwich Village in the last few days.
Inc villages restaurants have made
speciality of effects in half light
ing. In fact, some of the effects have
been less than half. The Greenwich
Village cleaning has been almost an
institution i'll itself. Candles furnish
Just the sort of illumination to go
with garret or basement. Conse-
quently the Village has been keeping
the candlemakers' union from being
thrown out of work, though it has been
discouragng territory for those who
deal in the specialties devised by Mr..
Edison.
Also there are reasons other than
aesthetic for the general leaning to-
ward candle illumination. and cash
guardian summarized them as
follows yesterday:
candles on the table are great for
hypnotic effect on the one who is going
to pay the dinner bill. A young fellow
comes in with girl and they sit down
at. table that is lighted with candles,
ana somehow he gets the idea that
things aren't going to be so very expen-
slve. Candles are old fashioned and

Daylight
Bill Is Passed
By Assembly
Lowman-Betts Measure Re-
peals the Statewide Act,
but Enables Cities to
Make Own Ordinances
Referendum Plan Beaten
Duell Offers Proposal Com
tinuing Old Law, Save
Where Towns Annll 1t
From a staff Correspondent

ALBANY, Feb. ga new sugges-
tion for the solution of the daylight
saving question was offered to-day by
Senator Holland S. Duell, Republican,
of Westchester, who introduced a bill
which would continue the daylight
saving statute but empower cities and
villages to repeal it locally should they
wish to do so.
Senator Duell said that his proposal
meets the state Republican platform
pledge in that it gives localities oppos-
ing daylight saving the right to stop
its retention, while those favoring day.
light saving are not affected.
The proposal is directly opposed to
the permissivc features of the Low
man-Betts bill. passed by the Assembly
this afternoon, and which rcpeals the
daylight-saving act but gives localities
TIL power to adopt local daylight-sav-
ing ordinances for such periods as thev
may determine.
The Lowman-Betts measure was
passed following a debate lasting two
hours and featured by two attempts,
engineered by Assemblyman James r
Carroll, Republican, of BROOKLYN. to
have the bill amended. Mr.. Carroll
moved ali amendment which would re-
move its repeal provisions and substi
tute the proposals contained in the
Booth bill amending the present day
iight-saving law. by reducing the day
llght-saving period from seven to five
months uy,,n, l,ao
79 to 62.
Mr.. Carroll then moved to amend the
measure SO as to submit it to a referen-
DUN this fall. The amendment was
voted down, 70 to co.
In submitting his amendments AS
semblyman Carroll appealed to the city
members to stand together, irrespective
OF party politics, and vote against the
bill, which, he declared, is opposed bv

minority leader, said he was opposed
TO daylight repeal in general and to
1hls Dill IN particular because the local
option feature might be carried out in
result, he said, would be chaos. which
would tend to bewilder the, travelling
public especially.
Majority Leader Simon L. Adler said
he did not believe many cities would
take advantage of the local option fea-
ture and that, as consequence, there
would be little confusion: Mr.. Adler
also led the opposition to the amend !,
ments submitted by Mr. Carroll, who
asked him if he really was not of the
opinion that daylight saving would be
continued if submitted to referen-
dun.

torted Mr.. Adler.

Nurse Starts Fire
To Gel Thrills and
llnperils 100 Lives
Woman Under Arrest as an
Incendiary After Dental
Office Blaze That Causes
$4,000 Loss i'm BROOKLYN

A craving for excitement was re-
sponsible for the arrest yesterday as
an incendiary of Miss Mary j. Hickey,
a nurse, Of 467 First Street, Brooklyn.
She was charged with having set fire
in the dental Offices of DR.. II. C. Parker,
at 1o32 and 1884 Gates Avenue.
Miss Hickey was detained after the
fire on Tuesday night, with DR.. George
Webb and DR.. Arthur r. Mackenzie,
but it was not until after she had been
questioned eight hours that she ccn-
fessed, according to the police. She
wept bitterly as her history was taken
by Sergeant Thomas Healy.
Il don't know what made me do it,"
she sobbed. "Something flashed through
my mind that made me want excite
ment, and-well, got it,"
Fire Marshal Thomas Brophy, who
questioned the nurse, said that thirty
families were driven to the street by
the blaze, which kept hremen busy for
more than an hour, and that the dam
age would be at least $4,000
This is one Of the saddest cases
that has come TO MY attention in my
fifteen years as Fire Marshall he said.
Here is an educated woman who sets
fire to building and imperils the lives
of one hundred persons"
Miss Hickey told officials she was
graduated from a Boston college, where
she had studied dental surgery She
was unable to obtain her regents GER
tificate in New York, she sard, and
went to work for DR.. Parker as
nurse six months ago.
Police Sergeant John Dwan turned
in an alarm, bringing Acting Chief
Patrick Mcclure, and he in turn noti-
fed Marshal Brophy the fire was sus-
picious. 1t was found that fire had
been started in the women's room and
in the reception room of the dental
Offices

Bedtime Stories
Peter Finds Striped Chipmunk
BY Thornton W. Burgess
What thrills of Jog and happiness attend
The unexpected meeting avith friend!

Just sitting around staring at the
great windfall deep in the Green
Forest wouldn't solve the mystery
Peter Rabbit had discovered under it,
so finally Peter gave up.
There is nothing to do but wait
until Buster Bear comes out in the
spring. Then we can see what color
his coat is. If it is black then per-
haps he will tell US how it happens to
be brown now. I'm going home" said
Peter Rabbit
That's the wisest thing you can
do,' replied his big cousin, Jumper
tne Rare, III keep an eye on this
wlndtall, and if find out anything I'll
tell you the next time you come over
here"
80 Peter said goodby to Jumper and
started off lipperty-lipperty-lip for the
Green Meadows. Then ne remembered
that it was broad daylight and that
Roughleg the Hawk would very likely
be watching the Green Meadows for
dinner. So Peter decided to run
oven to the Old Orchard and spend
the remainder of the day hiding in the
old stone wall on the edge of it. There
ne would be quite safe. When he
reached the far corner he stopped for
a look in the door of Jimmy Skunks
mouse There were no signs that any
one had been in or out of that house
since he was there himself.
Just a. little way from it was one
OF Peters favorite hiding places. 1t
was snug little place down between,
the stones of the old wall, and the
entrance to 1T was so small that no
one larger than Peter could possibly
squeeze through it. Many q time he
had sat in there and laughed at Reddy
Fox. He could peep out and see =
little OF what was going on when he
wanted to and he could sleep in COM.
fort when he wanted to- 1t was a
very fine place.
SO Peter crept in there and settled
himself in comfort. 1t was beauti
tul bright day and quite warm. In
TACT, 1T was the warnest day Of the
winter, the kind of day that made
Peter think of Mistress Spring. For
while he sat thinking of that mystery
over In the great windfall. Then he
began TO dream about it, for he had
gone TO sleep.
By and. by voice broke into his
dream, familiar voice. Peter opened
his eyes. Even when they were open
ne thought he must still be dreaming.
J es, sir, he thought he must still be
treamlng. You see, that voice was ex-
actly like the voice of Striped Chip
nunk.
That's funny" muttered Peter, and
boxed his head out from between the
stones of the old wall. 'If that isn't
