SYilGIIIL MILLER DUCK IN myMDNi STREET Ml RRAT RAS lEW RULES FOR mOREI HATES. The Latter Is Only Allowed to Leave the Penitentiary Once a Week. HAYES IS A COFFEY MAN. Opposed G ray’s C a n d idacy for R e g ister? W a rden Says H is V a c a tion W a s Cut Off T h is Y ear. The men who wear stripes on their apparel are noi the only prisoners in the Kings t’oiimy Penitentiary. W arden H a y es him- hclf. although he does not directly admit it. may be regarded partially in the light of an involuntary inmate. Ever since John Mor rissey Gray took office a.s Comuiisslouer of (‘hariiies and Corrections, relaiioos between Warden Hayc.s and the borough e.xecutive have been decidedly strained. Hayes is a Cofrey man. Gray was never accused of be ing oue. H a yes Nvanted the nomination for sheriff when Frank Creamer got it and he has the Idea that his old friend. John Mor rissey Gray had something to do with the rourse of events. Two years ago. Gray was iiominnied for register and Haye.s' name was incniioned, w ith those of ColTc-y and McGar- ry, as being an acUv<- fartur in the defeat of the Democratic candidate at the polls. Then, when Gray, received the appointment of Deputy Gharitits rom missioncr. War- H a y es realized that lie had a superior who would not grant him many favors. Tl.c InieLt bit of inforniaiion from the pen itentiary IS that Warden Hayes is -not al- 1 lived to come down town more than once a week. That on Saturday, when be deliver.*? liis report at the Borough Hall. He used to comp every day. but that was before Com m issioner Gray took command of Jam es J. Kirv’in's old desk. .A report was recently circuialcd ihai he was obliged to report at the Dorougr. Hnl! clad in all the splendor of ! blue coat and bra?.? burtons, but this the Warden hirnself says is noi true. Commis sioner Gray won’t say anything: not even to deny or affirm liiai the once a week rule was mad? especially for the benefit of W arden Hayes. Hayes is the only prison warden in New York City, he declares, -xYho is com pelled TO lim it his official visits to one every seven days. Clei'ks make the m id-week trips for him, in accordance with the instructions of Dcpuiy Cominissionsr Gray. Sun funner evidence of official de.sire to keep V»’an k ii May.»b at close quarters with the peuiieiiCKiry is rhe fact that since Com- ujis.‘^iouer Gra.v took office, the Warden has not been able io get the vacation to which he says he is em u lcd each year. A ll the inlier employim at. Crow H ill make their va cation applications to the Warden and get li-civ off lim e every summer. Warden H a y es makes h'.s application direct to the Deputy GoaKijissioiicr an«l then waits in vain for the comiijg of the postman. Last year, his dnuglucr was ill and he desired to take her away, in order thai an operation m ight he poTfoniiod. but no leave was forthcoming from the Borough Hall, so Warden Hayes rcimuuc-.l v.hu’re he wa.s. This fall, he .sent In Ids appliira 1 ion on October 3. asking that his •nsuc’i I'.vcnty days begin on the irnh. As yet n.-> r id..' InLs been received, and. remember ing iTrM-t'dinTrj.

SAY BRIDGE SCARE IS BASELESS F o u r P o ints in R e p o rt, N o n e of Which. Need Cause Public A larm . The Eagle has been req u e s ted to p r in t rhe foIlOM'ing l e t t e r : To the Editor of the Herald: When, a couple of w eeks ago. a feM' ex-, tracts -M'ere published from the report of the engineers M'ho exam ined the Brooklyn Bridge on behalf of D istrict A ttorney Philbln, the Herald, com m enting on the subject editori ally. came to the conclusion that a “ B rook lyn Bridge scare” had been artfully nurtured for serving unknown purposes M'hich had nothing to do ivith the M'elfare of the bridge or the public. It .seems that this opinion of the Herald is corroborated by the full text of the report a.s published recently. The average reader of this lengthy document w ill be njystified as to the real condition of the Brooklyn bridge. Ho M'ill not understand M*hy the bridge should be ‘‘repaired\ and “strengthened\ at an expense of ?750.000, M'hen a t the sam e time it i.s declared to be in good condition and as strong a.s ever! The folloM'ing facts a r e clearly sta te d in the report: Fir.st—The structure has not deteriorated by rust or by wear and tear. Second—'The bridge is as safe and as •Strong as it was v/hen new. Third—The rods w'lilch broke la s t June were am p ly strong for all loads and Intended purposes, hence their rupture w a s due to causes which can be avoided in the future. Fourth—The bridge Is not overloaded, the •comhined dead and live load being less than three per cent, in excess of M’b a t it M'as orig inally intended to be. ConsMering these four statem e n ts, it is bard to see why costly ‘‘im p rovem ents” or, better expressed, costly changes and addi tions should be made which, at best, have only a questionable value for improi’ing the safety of the bridge. It is true the tM'o engineers, toward the end of their report, are severely arraigning the builder of the bridge for h is lack of knowledge in designing-a • suspension bridge, \properly.\ and they give some figures M'hich tend 10 shoM- that the bridge has too sm a ll a margin of safety and, therefore, that it should be repaired and strengthened, but at the same tim e the originators of the report confess, candidly that the computations on which iheir conclusions are based M'cre “in- CDmplete and inexact!\ In contra.st with this portion of the report, the public knoM's that the bridge has done good service for the last eighteen years, and has carried five hundred m illions of passsen- gors without an accident, hence that its de sign and construction could not be so very bad. The public Mill also concede that, If the bridge Is as strong and safe as ever, it. will probably serve eighteen years longer eqpally well and M'ithout expensive altera tions. In contradiction to the alarming figures of the exam ining engineers there are the re ports of then engineers of the Brookly Bridge, who say that the margin of safety is ample, and who are in the position to a s sure the public that they arrived at their conclusions by “complete and exact\ compu tations. It Is probable that the engineers of the bridge w ill m ake a detailed reply to the re port. and maybe they M’ill be able to explain the object of som e parts of the construction which ore not understood by the exam iners, as they say them selves, on account of the “complex and uncommon nature of the de tails.\ In the m eantim e and pending such replies as M'ill be made to the report, no liasty conclusions should be drawn from the latter. The question is: Will the people have more corfulaice in the experienced engineers of th? Brooklyn bridge and in il.s :lce=igncr, M'ho. previmts to building that bridge had de signed and constnicic': many suspension biidgc's. of M'hich not a single one ever failcti •and wh’u'h are the lnvgr;4l in the w o rld? or will the public be .scared lor the reason of an unfavorable criticism by two less erperienced engineers. M'ho never have mnstructe.'l, or assisted to ccnstract, any kind of a suspen sion bridge? \V. H ILDFXim AND. Chief Engineer for the Cables of the New Ea.'it River Bridge. N om ’ York. October 10.

NEW HOUSES 5ell easier if equipped for Electric Lighting. William Franklin Miller, of Franklin Syn dicate fame, reached the Raymond street jail shortly before 12 o'clock to-day, having left the Sing Sing prison at 10 o’clock. He was brought down by Deputy Warden W ilson and Keeper Cleary of the Raymond street jail. Miller has been brought back to Brooklyn in accordance with the recent decision of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court, reversing the former verdict against bim and granting a new trial. D istrict Attorney Clarke has signified his intention of carrying the verdict of the Appellate Division to the Court of Appeals. When seen at Raymond street jail by an Eagle reporter shortly after his arrival M il ler appeared to be in n m ost cheerful frame of mind. H e was thinner and paler than when he left the jail, and was clean shaven. He had on the same suit of clothes which he wore to Sing Sing' prison. Miller was ac companied from the Ossining station by his father, who left him at the entrance to Ray mond street jail. Miller was placed in the sam e cell ■which he occupied before and dur ing his trial. “You can bet I'm glad to get back to Brooklyn,” said Miller. “I expect to be out on bail within a few days, perhaps to-morrow. My counsel. Fred House, is arranging for a bail bond to-day. As soon as he makes the necessary arrangements I expect him over here. There are a great many things I want to say to him. “I tell you -what U is.” he continued. ” I never had a fair trial and the higher court couldn’t do anything else but reverse the verdict. For some reason or other District Attorney Clarke has always had it in for me and he still has. I suppose he -will make it as hard a s he can for m e to get bail, hut r i l get it all right. \I'm no criminal. The Franklin Syndicate was just what it represented itself' to be—a concern which speculated in stocks with the very best of inside information. If the po lice hadn't broken in on us tve would have boon ail right. We would have paid dollar for dollar of our obligations, and would have made good profits beside. The Franklin Syn dicate was one of the best business con cerns in this city. I operated the concern, but I ■was not the only one in it.” \Where is the money which ■ivas In your hands before the crash?” he ivas asked. \That money',” said M iller. \w:as the property of the Franklin S.vndicate, not mine. I can say nothing about it. But you can put this down in black and ■white, the money was there to pay all our obligations and no one ever asked for their money or their interest without getting it. “How many business .concerns in New York to-day- could stand i t , i f ' the'ipoIi'CC should break Into their places of business rnd .seize their safe and whole outfit? Why not one in a hundred. We were all right up to the tim e the poll.-e stopped us and if they w ill let me out and quash those'ridic- nlous indictm ents against me and leave me alone—mind. I say, leave m e alone—to do a.‘. I please I could put the thing all right again in a l i t t l e w h ile. Do you know' what the action of the authorities was like in arresting me and convicting m e of larceny? It w a s just as if they should see two boy.s fighting in the street. They could say lo them selves. ‘Those boys are fighting. They are trying to hurt each other. Perhaps they ■will kill each other.' .Acting on such a hy pothesis as this, if the authorities should ar rest the hoys and convict them of murder they would he doing just as they did with me. \.lust lo show you how the customers of the Franklin Syndicate felt about my arrest. I'll tell you that while I was in Sing Sing I received more than 8,000 letters. Some of them wer-e from those not interested in the syndicate at all. They expressed sympathy with m e and confidence that I would get a new trial and be released. By far the great er number were from those who had invest ed their money with us and were getting their interest from us regularly, as we had agreed. These said that they did not blame me at all. They said that the authorities had commuted an outrage in interfering with a legitim ate business and that they knew that 1 was honest and all right. They promised me when I got out and if I ever got into business again that they would in vest their money with me. “I have never had an opportunity to thank these 8,000 people for their Interest and con fidence. but I want to do so now. Tell them for me that their confidence has not been misplaced and that when I get out I shall do my utmost to make right the wrong done to them by the 'aulhorities. I can’t understand this miin Clarke at ail. He seem s to be very vindictive against me, more so than against anvbody else. When I get out I may decide lo bring proceedings for malicious prosecu tion. I'll have to talk ihat over with my counsel.'*' “There's one other thing I want to speak about,” continued Miller. “One of the New York papers printed some time ago a con fession which purported to come from me. I want to say right here that it was all a lie. 1 never made any confession because I had nothing to confess. I'm on the level and al ways have been. ”I am very happy in the thought that 1 shall noon he vindicated. None of my friends believe anything against me. but the general public has been misled by the newspapers into believing that I am a thief. “ I am now looking forward with great pleasure lo to-morrow, when I expect to go hack to my family. It has been hard to be singled out for a long term of imprisonment when you know in your own heart that you have been honest and have always had the investm ents of your creditors first in your mind.\ “Do you mean to say ihai the plan of the Franklin Syndicate to pay 520 per cent, a year on investments was practicable?” he was asked. “Why certainly. Thai'.s just what I mean to say. Didn't we do it and weren’t -we doing it every day of our lives? That’s the best proof I can furnish. It was all simple enough when you understand It. That was the trouble. The authorities could not un derstand and they immediately concluded 'that it was impossible and that It must be a fraud. We knew ho-w to do It anfl -ae did it and thaf.s all there is to the matter. Fraud? Why, didn’t all our investors come in of their own accord and didn’t we do everything wo had agreed to do until tlie ijolice broke in and slopped us? It strikes me that the Franklin Syndicate has a pretty good rec ord.\ It was said at the District ..Iitorney's ofiica Ihai .Miller would not be admitted to ball to-day, and that if an attempt was made to bail him out the Disirict .\ttorney would ask .■judge Hurd to fix bail at $20,000. 3 LATEST SPORTING NEWS.

Combinations of capital which oppress should be. called' trusts In all the awfulness of meaning -ft-hich the tvord is intended It) 'convey. Money by just law has'Mts fixeft rate of interest, but the goods ■jvhicK monejs'' buys has not yet any fixed profits. This 'inconsistency of fixing rates of m oney and not fixing profit on w'bat money stands for emphasizes the positive fact that man in his depravity of mind has only light to see half way in all things. U n i versal custom fosters man in narrow, sinful ruts, but progress In the right direction should lift man out of the narrow ruts of ig norance and of oppression. It is perfect stuff, devilish nonsense to say that profits on goods cannot be fixed. It was hard to estab lish a fixed rate of money: it is still harder to fix the profit of all things ■n’htch money stands for, because the depravity of thi.s so- cailod enlightened age is great. Suppose this season the price of wheat throughout the world is $1 per bushel. Suppose ne.xt sea son all nations fall in ■n-lieat except this na tion, and that our great nation has enough wheat for its own and the ■world’s consump tion. Of course, on the supply and demand custom the foreign demand w ill make the SI wheat jump up to $2, but just here we see the iniquitj' of the supply and demand practice. This em p h a sizes the fact that shortsighted and depraved man i.s ever alert to take advan tage of his neighbor's misfortune. The prin ciple of supply and demand is the base of man’s operations and the great cause of uni versal oppression and distress throughout the whole BO called civilization, God directs man to use his talent. By this is meant not the withholding the $1 wheat until the de mand makes it $2 wheat, hut by earnest toil seek the other bushel—seek it by the sweat of the brow. The supply and demand practice encour ages idleness and its consequent sin. IVhen man corners food tor the purpose of selfish gain and consequent universal oppression such a man should suffer by law. Nowhere in the Bible is the supply and demand theory taught. Therefore, it the very foundation of the Christian world is based in sin what hope have we for a happy solution of a ques tion of such universal interest as the trust question? W h en man follows God’s law and breaks from W all and Lombard street prac tices he will repudiate the supply and demand theory and practice and quit robbing his neighbor, and at the same time entertain that purity of mind ■B'liich tells him that arbitra tion and not the sword is the road for every true Christian to walk In. .\LEXANDER SPOTSWOOD DANDRIDGE. New York. October 16, 1901. (Special to the Eagle.) Great River, L. I., October 17—Play was begun bright and early in the Westbrook Golf Club annual invitation tourney this morning, the programme calling for the first round of m atch play in the forenoon and the second In the afternoon, both at 18 holes. .\galn were the conditions ideal, the warm sun quickly drying off the dew and mellow ing the air to a delightul temperature, while there were no crows In sight. It is likely that th is will be a standing joke at the club for a long tim e to come, the re port In oue of the morning papers that the crow had not only stolen but had swallowed John Mott’s ball, arousing.lota of mirth. Some of the pairings for the morning round were not calculated to bring .out good golf, for Travis was reckoned to have things all his own w'ay with S. A. Jennings and the R. C. Watson, jr.-Carnegie match looked one sided. Livingston and Cochrane appeared well matched, while Tyng tvas supposed to have a chance with Ham ilton, the latter being so badly off his game, 'The consolation was unexpectedly slim. Seeley started off by taking the second and third holes in fours, after he and Knapp had halved the first in 6. Knapp, who is just of age, has recently bought a seat on the New York Stock Exchange, pay ing. so it is said, $65,000 for it. At the fourth hole, both drove the green, and Seeley W'as dead on his second, when Knapp holed a putt across the green for a 2.

Argument ■was heard by Justice MacLean in the Supreme Court to-day on the applica tion of H illquit & Hillquit, counsel for John .Most, the editor of the Frelheit, for a certificate of reasonable doubt pending an appeal from the decision of the Court or Spe cial Sessions, under w'hich he was sentenced to a year's Imprisonment in the penitentiary, for the publication of an article on Sep tember 7 last, entitled \Murder Against Murder.\ Mo.st was convicted under section 675 of the Penal Code, and h is counsel claimed that this section did not apply to the publica tion of such an article, but t o the publication of obscene articles, which were outrageous to public decency. W h ile this article was without doubt objectionable, it could nor : c held to be obscene. Counsel further con tended that as it only referred to the killing of crowned heads, it could not be held in any way to interfere with or endanger the public peace, so far as republican Institutions were concerned, .\nother point was that offences dealing with infringem ent of the law by the press ■was dealt with by section 317 of the Code, and not under section 675. Assistant D istrict Attorney Moses Herr- man, who with Assistant District Attorney Co'wan opposed the motion maintained that the conviction was perfectly legal, and that there was no doubt w'batsoever on the mat ter. He' argued that the argument put for ward that because this article had been pub lished fifty years ago, and again fifteen years ago. and was not^ written by Most. wLs no excuse for Us p’ublicatlon by Most in his paper.

Enriches the HELD UP ON THE BOWERY. A c tive Policem a n C a u g h t th e M en A l leged to H a v e Robbed Tlspe. . One of the new policemen recently ap pointed by Commissioner Murphy/proved this morning that he has the right stuff in him for his business. : E rnest Tlspe, steward on the K aiser W ilhelm der Grosse, arrived in this port yesterday and weiit out to see the eights on the Bowery last night. About 1 o’clock this morning he went into a restaurant near H e ster street. W hile eating there, he noticed that he was being closely watched by two men. He left the restaurant and had gone only a few feet when, under the glare of an elec tric light, with people walking within hail ing distance, he \was set upon by the tw o men who had been watching him In the eating house and two others who had joined them. The men grabbed him from behind, pulled his head back, and “knuckled” him. W h ile he was in a dazed condition from the attack, they rifled his pockets, taking his pocket- book, which contained $22,50, leaving him in a bewildered condition under the electric light. The four men separated, two going up the westerly ,side of the Bowery and the others the easterly sid.e. Patrolman Joseph Maiiden, a tall, rawboned, young policeman, appointed a few weeks ago by Commissioner Murphy, stood on the corner of Grand street and the Bowery, a block away from the scene of the hold-up. He saw a group of men together and then saw them separate. Noticing that one man remained standing while the other four walked quickly up the Bowery he became suspicious and went to where Tispe was standing, all the tim e keep ing an eye on the four men. He asked Tispe what the matter was and the steward told him that he had juat b e e n 'h e ld up and robbed. . “Follow me, but don’t excite suspicion.by running,” said Madden'.\ ' ■ Keeping close to the buildings, the police man walked rapidly after the four men, who carnc together at Grand street and the Bowery and turned east toward Elizabeth street. When they reached that street they turned down toward H ester street. Madden did not meet another policeman, as he hoped, and when the men got opposite 90 Elizabeth street, not suspecting they were being fol lowed, he decided it was tim e to act. W ith a few bounds he w a s on top of the highwaymen aud in an instant had two of them in his gr.asp. The other two started to run, but Madden, who held his revolver In his right hand, shouted: “If you don’t stop I ’ll blow you into eter nity.” This threat had the desired effect. The men throw up their hands and remained in that position while Madden rapped for a s sistance. Four policem en from the Mulberry street station responded and the prisoners were taken to th© Eldridge street station. They described them selves as Joseph Gold stein, 183 Forsyth street; Charles .Schultz, 95 Rutgers street; Charles Gerald, 283 Stan ton street, and Peter J. Bush, 67 Second avenue. .A.11 are about 30 years of age. Goldstein said he was one of P u g ilist Peter Maher’s trainers and said he was the light weight wrestling champion of America. Schultz said he was a manager; Gerald declared he was a merchant, by which he meant pedlar and Bush said he was a w a it er. Tispe Identified his pocketbook which w’as picked up empty on the sidewalk where the men were captured. The money w a s found distributed in the men’s pockets. Tispe pointed out Goldstein as one of the men who had watched him in the restaurant and iden tified one of the others as G oldstein’s com panion.
