WOMAN GUILTY OF
FIGHTING 2 POLICE
One Brooklyn Justice Votes
to Acquit Mrs. Helen
Eysel.

In the Court of. Special Sessions in
Brooklyn yesterday Mrs. Helen Eysel of
375 Forty-eighth street, Brooklyn. was
found guilty on charge of assault in
the second degree.
1t was alleged she threw cup at Pa
trolman Buckley of the Fourth avenue
station when, with Patrolman Shea Of
the same precinct, he went to the apart
ment while she was giving a riotous
party there.
Mrs. Eysel's defense was that the two
policemen had been guests earlier in
the evening and had returned after Mrs.
Eysel and his sister, Mrs Margaret
O'Brien, were in bed. breaking down the
door when she refused to let them in.
Thereupon she started to the station to
have the policemen arrested, and they
prevented her from doing so by arrest
ing her, she claimed.
Justice Salmon, who voted for Mrs.
Eysel's acquittal. said that the cup
throwing was justified il it happened
and that the record of the case ought to
be sent to the Police Commissioner. JUS
tices Murphy and Herman, however.
voted guilty.
On April 80 last Mrs. Eysel shot and
killed her husband, but the Grand Jury
refused to indict her, as a result of her
contention of self defense.

GOV. MILLER OPENS
BIG GRAIN ELEVATOR
Regards Gowanus Terminal
Development as Big Achieve
ment of His Term.

Gov Miller officiated yesterday at the
opening os the new State grain elevator
at the ,iowanus Bay Canal terminal at
Columbia street, Brooklyn. The eleva-
tor cost more than s2,000,O0o. Gov
Miller said he considered the work one
of the great achievements OF his admin
istration.
With the Governor on the speakers
stand were Frank Williams, State Engi-
aeer L. Fl. Pounds, former Borough Pres
ident of Brooklyn and now Conmis-
sloner of Port Authority; Lieut. Gov
jeremiah Wood. Charles l.. Cadle. Su-
perintendent of Public Works. L. w.
Rowe, acting president of the Brooklyn
Chamber of Commerce. and julius III.
Barnes. president of the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States.
Lieut.-Gov. Wood, who Is head of the
State Canal Board, was master Of GER
emonies. MIR. Rowe and Mr.. Barnes
spoke, and a letter was read from SEN
ator William M. Calder.
Gov Miller told how the barge canal
rehabilitation was started twenty years
ago with a vote of the people to spend
800, 100000 on 1t, and that there has
been expended almost S170,000,000 He
said:
II am satisfied that we have already
proved that the canal will justify itself.
Last year there was threat of a rail-
road tieup which would have suspended
rail transportation.
Recently there has been another inn
minent need to use the canal not to
transport products TO New York OF To
this port but TO transport products away
from this port to supply the needs Of the
rest of the State.
But we must not leave this canal fol
emergencies. That would never dc.
We have got to develop shipping. 70
educate shippers by an assured main
tenance of the canal in every respect AT
maximum capacity to encourage the in
vestment of capital. and by campaign
of education we have got to teach our
people how TO- use this great facility on
which the people have expended their
millions and which will serve as one OF
the great facilities to cut down :he dis
tance to lessen the margin between the
producers and the consumers of this
country"
