MURDER OF WHITE RUINS A GARDEN
Madison Square Roof No Longer Attracts - Crowds of Merrymakers v BUILDING WILL BE SOLD TODAY, WHILE THE OTHER ROOF GARDENS VIBRATE NIGHTLY WITH MERRY. MUSIC, THE MADISON REMAINS DARK. (American Mews Service) New York, July 2G.-Wbile the rest of the roof gardens about the city vi brate nightly with the jingle and rhythm of merry music, the Madison Square roof, upon which Harry Thaw shot and killed Stanford White three years ago last June, is ominously silent Ever since the tragedy thi3 roof once regarded as among the most delightful retreats in the city on a hot summer evening, seems to have lost cast with the old clientele It commanded, discouraging the efforts of amusement promoters who formerly went to much expense and trouble providing musical sketches for it The year following the murder of White, when its details were still fresh In tho public memory, the roof did considerable business. It could not be said, however, that it was the show that the crowd went to see, but the scen ario of one of the most sensational tragedies in the history of the country. As one of the principal points of inter est about Madison Square it still com manda the interest of patrons of the rubber neck" seeing New York autos, sharing in this interest with the Cafe Martin in which Thaw conceived the idea of killing his fancied rival for the affection of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw; his wife. But beyond this, as a show place the roof, because of its associa tions, has become a blight upon the city that apparently will not down Although in one of the most attractive parts of the city no theatrical manager wants it. The fact that this portion of the Madison Square Garden property has ceased to be rentable it is believed has proven a strong factor in determ ining the directors to sell the big building, which includes in addition to the roof garden, a theater, concert hall, office, tower and. the biggest seat ing amphitheater and arena in the city. AMERICAN GUN REST General Grant Believes Report of the Wonderful Krupp Gun Is a Fake. AEROPLANE NOT A FACTOR New York. July 20. "I have heard the rumors that the Krupps have built for Germany a wonderful new gun that will revolutionize modern warfare before the aeroplane has a chance," said General Frederick Dent Grant, who came out of the .west to succeed General Wood as commander of the department of the east. "And I have looked ovef a new gun we've got down her at Governor's Island, and you may say for me that the American gun is the most perfect gun in the world this .minute. , I have also heard," said General Grant, "about a marvelous explosive just put into service by the Japanese. I guess you'll find that this and the Krupp story are both war scares, be cause our naval attaches report that the marvelous explosive is only a picric acid compound which we've been shooting here for several years. I don't know that the Japanese found out about it That may be another rumor. But If they had not heard of that before they may not have beard of several other things." Thinks Army Is Perfect General Grant wore civilian dress and he wore the same short cropped gray beard th atin later years has heightened so much his resemblance to his father. -,t "I have come on here to further the policies put in force by General Wood who has gone to Washington as chief of staff and acting head of the army. I have no Ideas aa yet and no Intention of any radical changes in personnel. "I think the Army is being run pretty nearly perfectly East and AVest and South. I think our ordnance department is the most efficient and up to date in the world. I think we have the best guns and I know we have the best men. Greatest Explosive for United States. 'The aeroplane isn't an imminent factor in warfare yet How- soon It may be no one knows, but until it be comes so we might very well go on preparing for more , peace " with the guns that have kept peace so many times before. "We've had the most powerful ex plosive of modern times waiting for guns strong enough to shoot it for more than a dosen years. But nobody could devise the guns. - Well. we've got the gun now, and we're using the explosive In It, and while I'm new to this command and cant give out any figures yet I dare say It might be correct to say that those guns shoot the beat and their gunners aim them stralghter than any other guns are shot by any other nation in the world." Next week General Wood will return for a conference, and after that General Grant will hasten to pine Plains to take personal charge of the militia maneavers there.
CAN RAISE MAINE WITH JACKSCREWS
No Divers Needed by Plan Suggested by Famous Tunnel Engineer. ONLY NEED HAND POWER JOHN F. O'ROURKE, WHO BORED UNDER THE HUDSON, SAYS THAT SUNKEN SHIP COULD STEAM TO HOME PORT. Washington, D. C July 26. John F. O'Rourke, the engineer who bridged the Hudson at Poughkeepsie 'and droye the Pennsylvania railroad's tunnel under the North river, has laid before Acting Secretary of War Oliver bis plan for raising the Maine from the mud of Havana harbor. It was decided to refer the O'Rourke plan to an army board of engineers which will consider some other propositions for the same purpose which have been made to the war department Briefly, this newest plan is based upon a system of pneumatic caissons, such as have made possible the building of extremely deep foundations under water and which contributed largely to the success of the building of tunnels under the Hudson. No divers are used and the pontoon system is put completely aside. The method proposed is to swing the Maine in a cradle ot powerful- cables and lift her completely out of the water where a complete inspection of her hull will be possible. Could . Propel Self Home. 'While the ship Is suspended above vrater, Mr. O'Rourke declares, &he can be repaired as readily as if she were in dry dock and after being relaunched from the cable cradle can leave Havana harbor under her own steam. This is said to be the first plan proposed which would present the ship to a naval board in precisely the same condition as she sank on the night of Feb. 15, 1898. ( To raise her with pontoons, construction experts say, would mean to work upon her hull under water, and to float her with compressed air would disturb conditions between decks. ' First, a wharf of piles would . be built on either side of the submerged wreck. Then between the wharves and the hull twelve pneumatic caissons would be, sunk six on each side. Practical tunnel building operations would be employed thereafter and a hundred little tunnels would be driven under the Maine's keel between the opposite caissons. Thousand Men With Jackscrews. Through each tunnel a powerful steel cable would be run and each end would be run up the outside of the caisson tj the wharf above. So there would be a steel cable under the hull every four feet and the aggregate of all would be calculated to be capable of raising four times the weight of the wreck, which is about 7,000 tons. Each cable end would then be at tached to a system of steel screw rods and the screw Jack principle would be employed. In that the war department would be asked for a thousand men to operate, the hand screws and by every man turning a lever at a given signal it is planned to pull the hulk up in, the cradle in practically the same way as the pyramids of Egypt are supposed to have been built by man power. Once swung above the water 11m the gap between the wharves woulr' be bridged and the engineers wouk" work under and around the hull When repaired she could be let dowt into the water by a reversal of the process by which she was raised. O'Rourke's Plan Protected. Mr. O'Rourke expressed the opinion to Mr. Oliver that the Job could be done in three months. Mr. Oliver and General Bixby examined the plan la minute detail and spent about two hours over it. ' ' Mr. O'Rourke was assured aa one condition that should an army board pass favorably on the project his patents in the apparatus would be protected. Attorney General Wickersham arranged for the presentation of tho plans. A plan is approved whereby an area between Mantua and Pietole, Italy, is to be concerted into a wood sacred to the memory of Vergil, where all the herbs, trees and plants mentioned In his Bucolics will be represented.

OLD CANNON SLAVE VISITS RICHMOND Man Whose Parents Were Owned by Family of SpeakCannon a Veteran. - NOW AT SOLDIERS' HOME
OLD "RICHMOND" CANNON HAS A HOST OP FRIENDS HERE, FORMERLY LIVING IN WAYNE COUNTY FOR YEARS. 'Richmond" Cannon, or Richard Cannon, as he is better known, an old negro of the Marlon Soldiers' home Is In the city attending the state convention of the colored Knights of Pythias lodge. Cannon was formerly of Richmond, and says he "knows every coon in Wayne county," besides a large number of white people. Cannon's father and mother were slaves before the Civil war and belonged to the family of Speaker Joseph Cannon of the. house of representatives.

"We were always treated as well as possible," said the colored man. He was
Changed Parrot's Name And It Made the Bird Indignant
New York. July 2C With due re-! spect to the memory of Edgar Allan Poe, the parrot Lenore, owned by Mr. and Mrs. Charles McDermott of 112 West One Hundred and Thirty-Second street participated in more weird and woozy adventures during the torrid hours of yesterday afternoon and the almost as torrid hours of last night than were ever indulged in by any squadron of ravens In or out of a Poe fantasy. Lenore's name used to be Pat, but as Charles McDermott is fond of Poe and loves the name Lenore on his tongue he rechristened the parrot for the sake of euphony. Parrot fanciers 'declare that gentlemen parrots become attached to their names and bitterly resent a change. Pat-Lenore ran true to form and after exhausting an elaborate vocabulary of epithet against his new feminine "moniker" bristled his feathers yesterday at precisely 2 p. m. and departed from the McDermott flat. At One Hundred and Thirty-Second street and Lenox avenue Lenore alighted at an open bathroom window. Water was escaping into the tub and as the parrot listened he heard footsteps. A tall, slim maiden lady was slipping into the bathroom. She was a very warm, tall, slim maiden lady bo she lost no time in submerging herself. She had Just begun to splash blithely in the tub when it occurred the emerald plumed bird to again resent his rechristening. So, sticking his head inside the window, he declared savagely "Me name is Pat!" Imagine the horror of a tall, slim, maiden lady in superlative undress at a masculine voice ejaculating a masculine name in her very ear. Missbut at her modest request .her identiy will remain a secret) thinks that he swooned and might have drown?d had the water been deep enough. She is positive that she blushed from ier toes right up to her curl papers, and the moment she had recovered sufIclent strength to raise her hands she covered her face, rose from the tub ind fled shrieking from the bathroom. Pat-Lenore entered and ' sampled the bottles of medicine In the cheet with the result that he departed in high good humor but somewhat warm 6EKEJETT ..ALL THIS WEEK..

eight yeara old when brought . to Wayne county. He lived in Richmond about forty yeara and served In the War ot the Rebellion severat months. He distinctly remembers June 15, 1S64. when the remnants of Lee's armies of the South were making their last gallant stand against Grant at Petersburg, just before the supreme struggle at Richmond. After being mustered out of the Northern army Cannon came back to Wayne county. As a minute man in the fire department he served 10 years. This waa before Richmond could boast of a "paid department. He recalls several large fires here among which waa the Jones Brothers fire on Ft. Wayne avenue.
The report of the select committee for settling the king's civil list has again fixed the total of the British sovereign's Income at 47.000, the sum paid yearly to King Edward. The British king Is poorly paid. He receives less than half the sum paid to the German emperor, 310.000 less than the income of the Austrian emperor, and considerably less than the king of the comparatively poor kingdom of Italy.

It is an even greater problem than that of immigration, which to some extent forms a part of It Here ore enormous stretches of well-watered land capable of growing wheat, vast grazing areas, auriferous belts, .rich tropical lands, innumerable natural products, deep rivers and fine harbors.

This time he brought consternation to the heart of a stout Irish lady by perching on the window sill of the bathroom and declaring his sex while milady reveled In the bath. She summoned her husband to shoot the Intruder but Pat-Lenore discreetly disappeared. Pat-Lenore disturbed two other women at their baths before he blundered into the apartment of John Kaiser at Thirty-Second street and went to sleep on top of the piano. There he was reclaimed today by Mrs. McDermott.
