TUESDAY, APRIL 30, 1907. THE TWTCE-A-WEEK TELEGRAPH v ~ 3 . NEW YGHK DISBARS ITALIAN BANDITS NEW yore Apr:' 27.—New Ir divided an to the comparative of theoretical anrl practical m *<*curing much-debated pen the Laird of Sklbo In the former field wag winning the somewhat Incongru ous military honor of a Commander of the Legion of Honor. Detective Pero- alno, of the police department, who got no medal, with a detail of fifty picked men was accomplishing some real re sults In the way of the disarmament of nations on New York's Past Side. Asa consequence the property room at police headquarters has assumed the appearance pf an arsenal. There are said to be about 16,000 persons among the foreign-born residents of the city who go armed with deadly weapons. Among them are many Sicilians who are believed to have been bandits in their native Isle, and to whom are at tributed most of the so-called blach hand outrages of the past year or two. The movement for disarmament be gan with the fatal shooting of two po licemen by an Italian whom they had attempted to arest for assault upon a fellow countryman. Threupon the Ttatlan detective squad attached to the Central Office bureau spread Its drag net and swept the city from the Bat tery to the farthest limits of the Bronx. Every Italian dive and saloon in Mul berry Bend. Mott street. Thompson street. Sullivan street. Frog Hollow. Hell's Kitchen, Little Italy and a dozen other suspected neighborhoods was thoroughly searched and more than 250 hearers of concealed weapons gathered !n. who assayed all the way from a single, keen-bladed stiletto up to three knives and two revolvers apiece. The 'good work stfll goes on. but the most formidable weapon In the collection so far Is an ordinary carving knife ground to a razor-like double edge. Daniel Riker's Estato. When Daniel Rlker was gathered to his fathers back In the year 1850, he left to his five heirs a large e<tate and % quantity of trouble which has kept his memory green unto this day. The estate was administered In trust until 3873. when a dissatisfied legptee started ihe trouble by bringing a partition suit. Then began n fascinating series of legal techlncalltles, court delays, quests for missing heirs In which thousands of dollars were spent, the disappear ance and death of others, the birth of children and grandchildren to the orig inal legatees—a tale which has no par allel save In the celebrated case of Jnrndyoe vs. Jarndyce which Charles Dlrken* wove Into his novel of "Bleak House.” Lawyers came Into the case and died: persons Interested In fighting the action passed away and others took their plnces. Less than a month ago the remarkable case was straightened out by the condemnation of the prop erty by the city for the Williamsburg bridge Improvements. All of the heirs, who Include the Havemeyers and some other prominent members of Fifth ave nue's Four Hundred, had been located and a decision was rendered In their favor. When the city has finally paid the awards, when the Court of Appeal* has passed upon certain technical ques tions now nwnltlng Its decision, nnd when nil the lawyers have hpon paid, the fifty living descendants of the wor thy old gentleman—provided no more are discovered or born In the meantime —will receive the patrimony that has been coming to them during thirty-two years of litigation. TSut an average of $220 to each Is all that Is now left of what was a large estate half a centurv ago and has multiplied In value n’s many times a* the heirs hnve multi plied In numbers.

April 26.—Secre tary Hester’s statement of the world’s visible supply of cotton issued today shows the total visible to be 4.938.462 against 5.033 545 last week and 4.359 - 494 last year, pf this the total of American cotton is 3.496,628 against 3.603,545 last week and 2.767.494 last year and of all other kinds, including Egypt.

Even as the conference was going on, the echoes of one war having hardly ceased, Chile was sulking in her tent because the United States could not see the way to giving her an am bassador. Doubtless there would have been no objection so far as Chile was concerned, but all the other South American republics Immediately raised a howl of protest claiming that Chile should have no preference over them. This development put an end to the controversy, temporarily at least, the only regret being that Mr. Herbert G. Squiers. now minister to Panama, was thus deprived of advancement, as it was generally understood that he would have been selected for the new ambas sadorship. In instances of this sort It would almost seem worth Mr. Carne gie's while to consider the bonding sug gestion. The City of Tunnels. By the time the various tunnel enter prises under the East and North rivers are completed. New York expects, to at tain the proud position of the world’s greatest city. Heretofore her unex ampled growth a* a center of wealth and commerce has been chiefly due to a rare combination of natural harbor fa cilities. The time has come, however, when Father Knickerbocker realizes that these conditions which have at tracted the merchant fleets of the world and the great railway lines which ra diate from the city In every direction, must be supplemented by intelligent effort and expediture, if the progress of the future Is to equal that of the pa*t. In the Jagged outlines of her five boroughs. New York has a water front of more than 350 miles, not more than twenty-five of which have been properly equipped with docking facili ties, and even these have become inad equate for the huge steamships now building. Already the work of increas ing these facilities Is under way, and In the annual report of Dock Com missioner Bensel, which has just been made public, plans are presented for the expenditure of $29,000,000 more during the next fiscal year. It Is right here that New York appreciates the work which was done by the National Rivers and Harbors Congress in behalf of the rivers and harbors appropriation made by the session of Congress just closed at Washington: for the problem Is a two-fold one, involving wider and deeper channels as well as larger docks, and in this respect New York, like all the other ports of the country, must rely upon intelligent co-operation with this orglnization. prime plan, when he set In months ago to work up subscriptions aggregating $230,000 to build a new tabernacle auditorium with hospital and other accessories. Just as Dr. Broughton had reached the culminat ing point and was bcginnlg to gather his subscriptions In. along came the an nouncement of the efforts of other denom inations In the same direction, and Dr. Broughton began to fear for the success of his plans, because many who would have contributed to his enterprise will not do so now that their own churches are working in similar directions. Both the Methodists and Presbyterians of Atlanta are now trying to raise funds of $250,000 each with which to enlarge and endow their hospitals—the Wesley Memo rial Hospital and the Presbyterian Hos pital. It is but natural that the mem bers of those churches, and among them are some of the wealthiest and most lib eral people In Atlanta should give rather to the movement originated by their own church. As a result, of course, the Bap tist Tabernacle movement will lose some of the donations which It would other wise have received. Nevertheless. Dr. Broughton Is pushing bravely on In his efforts, though he con siders that ' these other denominations have gotten away with some of his thun der. He has already raised approximate ly $150,000 and is adding gradually to the fund from day to day. The Metholsts are much encouraged In their efforts, and the Presbyterians say there Is no doubt the fund they have set themselves to raise will be had in the ex pected time. The Presbvterian solicit sub scrlptions for such church enterprises only within their own ranks, hence are pushing their plans much more quietly than the others. While the simultaneous appearance of efforts to raise a quarter of a million In three cases may delay the accomplish ment of the result in ail of them, It is said that In due time the entire $750,- 000 will be forthcoming.

Albert Gallatin was Secretary of the Treasury at the time, a little over 100 years ago. He brought It to the notice of the President, wWo was Thomas Jef ferson, that dealers were buying depre ciated silver In the West Indies, were importing It Into this country and hav ing It coined at the United States Mint Into silver dollars. Instead of drawing the proceeds In silver dollars, however, they were drawing gold eagles and fractions thereof which they were ex porting to the West Indies to pay for more silver.

BOSTON April 28.—A contingent of AmeiVJs foremost Sunday school ed ucators. 325 strong, left this port Satur' day on the special chartered steamship Romanic en route to Rome. The party will attend the fifth world's Sunday school convention, which is to assemble in the Italian capital on May 18. Be cause of the large number of Americans who are to attend the gathering it has been found necessary to charter two vessels especialy for the use of the Sunday school pilgrims. In addition to those leaving on Romanic, about 200 delegates will depart on the steamship Xeckar leaving New York today. At Rome the two companies will meet, re maining together during the convention and tours about Rome. The convention in Rome is expected to be the largest gathering of its kind ever held.

N. J.. April 28.—A dozen the patriarch of the B'ritish peerage and the oldest member of the House of Lords, was 97 years old today. He en joys remarkably good health for a man of his years, and confidently expects to round out a century. Lord Gwydyr comes of a very ancient family, though it was only in 1796 that they were raised to the peerage. For forty years Lord Gwydyr was secretary to the He reditary Great Chamberlain. Lord Gwydyr attributes his longevity to the fact that, among other good things, he inherited a superb consti tution and has always taken good care of it, eating and drinking in moderation and taking plenty of outdoor exercises. He has never used tobacco in any form. Lord Gwydyr has lived in five reigns and has witnessed four coronations. Vividly he still recalls the first of them, that of George IV., which he attended . a hoy of 10. accompanying his grandfather in the'latter’s state barge, which was rowed by six men In hand some livery from Whitehall stairs to Westminster.

Public buildings, such as the State capitol, city hall, and others, banks and many more places were closed for the entire day, while practically every bus iness house in the city closed its doors at noon. The parade took place at 2 o’clock under command of Colonel Jos. F. Burke as grand marshal with Captain Orville H. Hall as his chief of staff. The formation was had on Peachtree street near the junction with West Peachtree, and every available organ ization was on hand to participate. In the first division were bands, fifth regi ment infantry, Marist College and Georgia Military Cadets and the police battalion. Then came the Knights of Pythias, Odd Fellows. Spanish Ameri can war veterans, Red Men. Elks, Beav ers and trade unions. The third divi sion was composed of the students of the Boys High School and many from the various grammar schools of the city, comparatively a new feature. Next were the Governor’s Horse Guard and Governor’s Light Artillery, followed by the fire department drum corps, fire department. Old Guard of Gate City Guard, Confederate Veterans Camps, Wheeler’s Cavalry, and many wagons containing veterans including those front the Soldiers’ Home. In the sixth division were carriages containing At lanta Memorial Association, Daughters of the Confederacy, Children of the Confederacy, Daughters of 1S12, Daugh tors of American Revolution, Mayor and Council, invited guests, automobiles and flower wagons. It was one of the most complete and longest parades Atlanta has ever known. At Oakland cemetery following pray er and hymn, the orator of the day, Hon. John T. Boifeuillet, of Macon, was presented by Colonel J. F. Burke. Mr. Boifeuillet was at his best, his strong voice being well calculated to lend force and emphasis to the beautiful and patriotic sentiments which he utter ed. The exercises were closed with hymn and benediction and salute and taps. Flowers were scattered in gra cious profusion over the graves of the dead. Prominent among those in the Me morial Day parade was Mrs. John B. Gordon, widow of the late general who was the guest of honor of the Atlanta Memorial Association and rode In the carriage with the orator of the day, Mr. Boifeuillet. The Confederate monument was dec orated with a long laurel wreath fifty- five feet in length, while the monument to the unknown dead was draped with handsome festoons of moss. The grave of General John B. Gordon, the latest warrior chief to find a resting place in Oakland, was covered with a pro fusion of gray moss with a laurel wreath at its foot. Practically all of the offices at the State capitol were closed for the day. Governor TerreU went to Norman Park in Colquitt County, where he delivered an address before the students at the institute there. State Treasurer R. E. Park delivered the address of the day at Covington. Other capitol officials spoke at various points in the State. ATLANTA, April 27.—The State order making the rate on brick from Rome to Atlanta 2 cents per 100 pounds, the same as from Calhoun to Atlanta. The rate from the two points was formerly the same, but the West ern and Atlantic railroad Increased the Rome rate without going up on the Calhoun rate, and as the distances are about the same, unjust discrimination was alleged. The commission orders that the two-cent rate must be put in effect from Rome within ten days. The commissiori approved plans for the proposed new $12,000 depot to be built by the Seaboard -at Abbeville, Wilcox County. A small depot was likewise ordered built by the Georgia railroad at Huching on its Athsn branch. The Atlanta. Birmingham and At lantic railroad was directed to appear before the commission on May 8 and show cause why it should not be trans ferred from Class D to Class C. which would involve a reduction of about The Monument to Jefferson Davis By JAMES CALLAWAY. The unveiling of the monument to Jefferson Davis to occur during the re union at Richmond, recalls memories of the past. There is something stimu lating to the mind and heart in looking upon monuments which are commemo rative of the achievements and prowess of illustrious men. The imagination gladly remains by the pictures of the past and the heart is agreeably affected by them. Lincoln visited Richmond after its fall and was well received, and was safe among those Virginia people. Lin coln preferred that Mr. Davis make good his escape. He did not care tV> put to legal test "the right of seces sion." Besides, he declared for speedy restoration. And the assassination of Lincoln was an inexpressible calamity, and the Southern people so regarded it at the time, and deplored his untimely death. But the rumor spread like a flash all over the land that Jefferson Davis was the head of the conspiracy that mur dered President Lincoln. Andrew Johnson gave credence to it by issuing a proclamation for the ar rest of Mr. Davis, offering $100,000 re ward for his capture. This proclama tion by the President of the nation fired the whole North against the entire Southern people. The New York "World, a conservative paper, said editorially May 4, 1S65 “In a matter of such gravity we pro sume that President Johnson has be stowed personal attention on the evi dence; for surely he would not compro mise. the dignity of his great position in making accusations of this startling character unless he had reasonably good grounds to go upon. We do not know the character of this evidence the public is not yet permitted to know; and, for the present, we must endorse the action of the President on the strength of our confidence in hi3 intelligence, coolness and discretion. The New York Herald. May 14 speaking of Mr. Davis’ flight, said: Vengeance, on the wings of the light ning, Is pursuing him. By means V>f the rebel telegraph wires, the President telegraphed his proclamation, accusing Davis of being in league with the as sassins of President Lincoln, to Gen. Wilson at Macon, Ga. Gen. Wilson at once scattered handbills, describing Davis, throughout the country, and started his cavalry in search of the arch traitor and culprit.” On May 12, 11 a. m„ Gen. Wilson re ported to Gen Grant that on May 10th. Inst., Col. Pritchard, commanding the Fourth Michigan cavalry, had captured Jeff. Davis and family, John H. Reagan, Burton N. Harrisan, Francis R. Lub hick and Col. W. T. Johnston, who would soon arrive in Macon. In the Northern papers at the time these men were always alluded to as the “Conspirators.” and Mr. Davis as the "Arch Conspirator." Gen. "Wilson In his dispatch to Stan ton May 13. says. “Mr. Davis put on his wife’s dress and started for the woods, but the soldiers, seeing his hoots, he was pursued. The race was 'short one and the rebel President was brought to bay. ' He brandished a bowio knife, but yielded promptly to the persuasion of Colt's revolvers." And the Now York Herald on May 15 had among others these sensational headlines: Davis Disguises Himself in his Wife’s Clothing. And, Like His Accomplice, Booth, Takes to the Woods. He Shows Fight and Flourishes a Dag ger in the Style of the Assassin of the President. Ho Fails to Imitate Booth and Die in the Last Ditch. His Ignominious Surrender.” The South is grateful that Mr. Davis lived to show the falsity of these charges. Judge John H. Reagan in his’ memoirs, speaking of the capture, says. : "When the firing began. President Da- ! vis supposed it to be the work of men ! who were to rob Mrs. Davis’ train. (For ; Mr. Davis and Reagan had joined Mrs. ! Davis’ train by accident). So Mr. Da- I vis remarked to his wife, ‘Those men have attacked us at last; I will go out . .
