S h e p a r d Is criticising hlia (Odell) for not p u t t i n g i n t o effect a policy which Mr. Shep a r d h a s him s e l f denounced. In his speech a t T a m m a n y H a l l la s t Thursday evening, Mr. Shepard declared for home rule and p r o t e s t e d ag a i n s t i n t e r f e r e n c e from Albany. In h i s speech la s t night, a t Jam a i c a , he th r e w the burden of the police situation on Governor Odell’s shoulders an d asked why th e governor hasn ’t removed Murphy. Here is w h a t Mr. Shepard said; \G o v e r n o r Odell has t h e power to remove Mr. M u r p h y and could do so if there were an y ground. Why don’t he do so. If all they say is true, o r even a portion of w h a t they say Is well founded? “ E v e r y day tho.t Mr. Murphy continues a s Police Commissioner of the City of New Y o r k Is a oertifleate from the Republican Governor of this sta t e .

The general feeling in th a t section of the city is th a t Dr. John H a r r i g a n and H e n r y H e s t e r b e r g are pretty sure to be elected to the respeotive offlees of coroner and sheriff. Quite a num b e r of strong Republicans have no hesitation of declaring th e y will vote for these candidates irrespective of party affilia tions. It is probable t h a t a t the next mnoting of the Brooklyn School Board, to bo hold on lYednesday, Novem b e r 6, an associate su p e r i n t e n d e n t will be elected to fill the vacancy caused by the election ot .lolm H. W a l s h a s borough superintendent. .lust who the lucky m a n will ho cannot' be correctly guessed a t the m o m e n t , for there are six men, all equally strong, who are in th e race for preferm e n t . These m e n are P r i n c i p a l s Edward P. Crow’ell of School No. 3G, Charles S. Haskell of School No. 2, P r a n k K. P e r k i n s of School No. 26, Channing Stebbins of School No. 77, .Tames J.

P r e s i d e n t Robertson stated this morning th a t , should i t be decided to fill the posi tion, Associate S u p e r i n t e n d e n t Charles W.

While this is a more or less, em p t y honor, carrying w i t h it no increase of salary, y e t such an election would be regarded as som e what of a distinction and m i g h t carry with i t an elem e n t ot prefer m e n t when the new order of things s t a r t s in in February. TEACHERS QUARANTINED. Bet'ween Doctors and Board. Rose McClelland, who lives in the board ing house a t SO Lea avenue, was attacked w i t h diphtheria more than a week ago. In the same house lives Caroline Smith, who is a teacher in a M a n h a t t a n public school, and Josio Perkins, who occupies a sim i l a r position in an East New Y’ork public school. Dr. John M. Clayland of 252 Rodney street was summoned when Miss McClelland first became HI and after m a k i n g the usual ex amination and sending a r e p o r t to the Health Departm e n t , th e case was described as diph theria. Through a controversy which has arisen between the Health Dejiartment and Dr. Charles T. H e l t of 298 Craham avenue, the school teachers have been confined to the boarding bouse. The tro u b l e between the H e a l t h D e p a r t m e n t and th e physician grew out ot t h e fact th a t Mies McClelland dismissed Dr. Clay- land and procured the attendance of Dr. Helt. Dr. Clayland had in the m e a n t i m e made his rep o r t to the H e a l t h D e p a r t m e n t and Dr. Helt, w h e n he w a s retained, failed to m a k e a sim i l a r report. As a result ot this mlxup. Miss Smith and Miss Perkinq have been unable to retu r n to their duties. Yes terday Miss P e r k i n s called a t tlm Health D e p a r t m e n t and presented a certificate from Dr. Heit stating t h a t Miss McClelland had so fa r recovered th a t th e quarantined teachers could retu r n to school. The certificate was n o t recognized and as a resu l t a friction may occur between the H e a l t h D e p a r t m e n t and the Board of Education. FOR SHOOTING HIS WIFE.

Davis escaped, but th e police expect soon to ap p r e hend him. A t tlin hospital to-day it was said the woman would recover. Form e r F i r e Chief Thomas F. Nevins and G. Edward Graff, both of t h e bankrupt brok erage firm of G. Edward Graff & Co., were put t h r o u g h an exhaustive exam i n a t i o n in t h e general hearing for all the creditors, held this m o r n i n g before Referee Robert L. Tilney in the P o s t Office building. The ex amination was conducted by the counsel fo r the trustee. Levi W. Naylor, and had refer- nneo. in great part, to the term s upon which Jam e s Shevlin and former Senator John Mc Carty entered and remained in the broker age concern. Mr. Nevins* testimony developed the. r e markable lapses which his memory has suf fered concerning boifi his own dealings with Graff & Co. and also concerning th© times and circumstances of the transference of propert)'' belonging to him here and in Florida to both his wife and to hi.s son. H e testified th a t in a conversation between him and Mr. Shevlin before the failure, in the Constitution Club. Mr. Shevlin had told him to get the “ p o o l” contract and “ b u r n It up.’’ The statem e n t s of Mr. Graff on llic .stand were reinforced by a greater degree of m e m ory than those made by Mr. Nevins and wore further strengthened by m e m o r a n d a taken from the books of the firm. W h a t was con sidered an im p o r t a n t point, by t h e trustee in Mr. Grai'f’.s t e s ti mony wa.? t h a t the bankrupt, stated the su m s deposited by .Mc.ssrs. Shev lin and McCarty were evidcnily regarded as so much capital and the payments made to the two politicians in return for this money were dividends, as shown from the fact th a t the cliecks for the am o u n t s had the word “dividend” w r i t t e n across their faces. Some sixty airornoy.s were in the United States Districi. Conn room in liic Post Office building when Referee Tilney rapped for o r der. Chief am o n g these was former Justice Augustus Van Wyck, attorney for some of the creditors, who frequently during the hearing drew down upon his head some rath e r sharp replies from others of the a t torneys present because of h is objections. N e v ins Says H e Knows L ittle A b o u t th e Books. Form e r F i r e Chief Thomas F. Nevius was the lirst to take the stand, being called by W. C. Percy, counsel for Levi AV.

Roy, came into the court room, the h e a r ing not being begun until 10:30 o’clock, a half hour a f t e r the lime set. Mr. Nevius was questioned as to hl.s, e a r l y associations with the firm of G. Edward Graif & Co., into which he s a id he put $70,000 at various times. Company .

Mr. Nevins also showed complete ignorance as to t h e checks in the Brooklyn Bank and In the People's T r u s t Company and what became of t h e stubs and t h e vouchers for these checks. N e v ins T e lls of a Conversation W ith S h e v lin and McCarty. Before m a k ing th e a.ssignment, Mr. Nevins testified to having had a conversation w ith both Messrs. Shevlin and McCarty as to money m a tters. H e had gone to Goshen, N. Y., and sa-w McCarty to ask him for $50,- 000 to put'^into the^ business. Mr. McCarty had said that was all right and gave Mr. Nevins a check for $10,000. and t h a t he would come to town and give Nevius the balance of $40,000. Subsequent conversation with Shevlin had shown a flat refusal of t h e lat ter to give any more money and then Mr. Nevins had returned Mr. McCarty's check to him. T h is-closed the examination on the p a r t of thp counsel for the trustee. Q . Edward Graff took the stand and w a s exam i n e d ; by counsel for t h e trustees. Rec ords CoinnJissloner George E.

Referee ‘T i l n e y said th a t he expected to hold a nieeting of the creditors shortly, when a partial dividend might be declared. I'he exam i n a t i o n of Mr. Graff then w e n t on. He said th a t , as m a n a g e r of the firm, he knew Messrs. Shevlin and McCarty and then identified the “ pool” contract and the signatures!, o f Shevlin, McCarty and Nevins upon it. H e said that the former tw'o had m e t him in a private office and. after r e m a r k i n g that; ”lt was very strong.” signed it in Mr. Graff’s presence. No other sum s were placed In the firm by .Messrs. Shevlin and McCarty, said Mr. Graff, down to the time of th e -failure in May of this year. Payments, beginning in the spring of 3897 and continuing until the spring of this year, had been m a d e to the two politicians. The last paym e n t . was made on April 13, 1901, according t o t h e firm’s ledger, and was num bered 50. ■ T h e aggregate amount of tho checks ma-de in these payments Averc $5,950 oaeli to Mrv Shevlin and Mr. McCarly.

Counsel then asked Mr. Nevins if Iv> knew Jam e s Shevlin and John .McCarty, and K t h e y had had dealing.s with the bankrupt firm, to both of which Mr. Nevius answered in the affirmative. The original contract containing the signature.s of Shevlin, McCarty and Nevins was submitted to Mr. Nevins and he verified the signatures at the bottom of the contract as genuine. Opposite the signa tures of Shevlin ami McCarty were placed sums of $6,250, and $10,000 oppo.sUe th a t of Mr. Nevins, who. after a dispute among the lawyers as to the propriety of the contract being offered In evidence, said th a t he did not know w h e t h e r or not these sum.s were placed in t h e firm.

He was well dressed uud finely groomed and from the bank roll he displayed it was evident th a t ho was noL in pressing need of money. Quinn himself said th a t he came to this city Saturday evening expecting to spend a short time here prior to going t o New H a v en to be present a t the Yale bi-contennial exercises. He drifted into a number of pub lic houses and by midnighr was so well il luminated that, he felt cerTata he would be able to grope his way .to. *..aej.depot un a s sisted. Detective Cronin early in - the evening spied Quinn, but the latter became lost in the crowd about th e station. The officer wa.s positive, th a t hi.s man would return later, nnd took nj) his position near the depot. The cmirl. hou.se clock wa.s striking the houi of mldni.ght. when Quinn appeared. He was in no state at th a t time to fully appreciate his position, but wdion he sobered next morning he inquired the cause of his arrest. Ho was told that he had been drunk and he offered a bond, but it was refused, cs tho Brooklyn authorities had wired to the authorities here to hold the prisoner for further orders. Nothing \\’i\a said of the arrest for sev eral days as the police of Brooklyn desired the w’liereabouts of Quinn not to be general ly known. Two Brooklyn detectives came here yesterday, but Quinn refused to r e turn with them. He demanded a trial on t h e charge against him and Judge Conley upon ascertaining th a t Quinn was really drunk, scut him to t h e work house for thirty days. •urt said he would suspend judg- ..^wuever Hic .Jlir ..alyn authorities got ready to t a k e t h e i r man. le woul I noi i\ ipers. will no: admit having had any conversation with A. r . Souborn, with regard to his seeking a temporary abode in some clime other than Brooklyn. He threatens to have a lawyer apply for his relea.se on a habeas corpus, but under t h e law of this state cannot benefit from such action, having been convicted of drunkenness. Magistrate Sleeng had a dreadful time of It in the Adams street court this morning. A \i vhol.i requii.Uioc , ipi for Ihore w a s nothing about “ scalawag\ in (lie query a s he read from his notes. Mr. Elliott sat down a f t e r a while and file qiies- Uoning of t h e witness pn the cross-exam i n a tion proceeded. There bad been trouble during the whole of t b e hearing. It began when the case was first called and Mr. Towns objected to tbe th r e e necused being placed on exartiinallon a t tho same time. The three prisoners charged In the complaint of the private de tective. who claimed that Rice and the other had bribed him to keep away from tho trial of th e divorce case, were all in court. The third. Mahoney, had been arrested yesterday. Mr. Rice was there looking exceedingly ner vous, but the prisoner Sanborn did not seem to care. It w a s S a n b o r n ’s case th a t was called first after t h e contention of Towns t h a t each case should be tried .scparaiely had been agreed on. .'til through tho henring Town.s seemed to be b a i t i n g .’Hr.

The witness Harrison detailed at great length the story of the alleged bribery much as I t was told in t h e Eagle on t h e day of the a r r e s t of Mr. Rice. One thing he added. He said t h a t when he was in Rice’s office getting the last $25, .Mr. Rice asked him all about the evidence that h e had against him. He had asked Harrison if he had seen him with a woman at the New ..Amsterdam Hotel, asked him to describe tbe woman and asked if tliere wore any women -.vho were witnesses against him in w h a t hgd occurred at the New .Amsterdam Hotel. On the cross examination Harrison a d m i t t e d th a t he had been told by the m a n ager of t h e detective agency, which had em ployed him and which was trying to entrap Rico who. it was alleged had been t a m p e r i n g with t h e witnesses, to accept any money t h a t Rico and his friends would give him nnd sign any paper th a t they offered to him for his signature. Once during Ihe examination, Air.

Elliott had been called a “scalawag” by M. L. Towns and Mr. KlHoU clenched his fists nnd with a pallor thuf de noted much mental excitement stood facing Tsir. Towns with only a three feet broad table between them. Towns had been cross examining the prin cipal witness in the case of .Melvin Ftl'.-c. j rharle.s F. Mahoney and .Arthur P. Sanborn, charged with the bribery of witnesses in llm case of Mrs. Em m a Frances Rice against her husband, and ho had been t r y i n g all t h e while to prove that Rice was tbe victim of a ''on- spirncy hatched up either in the office of .Mrs. Rice’s counsel. .Mr. Elliotr, or ilu^ Mahoney Detective .Agency, ofllcora of which had shad owed .Mr. Ri'ce ami another woman. <»oi i lo be Mrs. Donald W.

Hill siarted his te.stlmony by earing b© heard the firing of guns on approaching^ Gienfuogon and said that while th t f o a hlockadlog line was m a intained three or four ^ miles out. H e said that he had written l e t - ^ t*>rs 10 his wife during the campaign a n d ; had from the.^e m a d e a journal covering tha i period.
