U/REILLY'S HANDS “Honest Policeman” from Brooklyn Takes Command and Starts the Electrio-Light, ' Community Guessing. PEN PICTURE OF THE MAN. Bellevee in Hard Work, and Says the Newspapers Are a Powerful Fac- tor In Making That Work Effect. Ive, Capt. Miles O'Reilly te in charge of the Tenderloin. News of the fact has been spread in all the newspapers of Manhattan. Up in the giddy electrio- Ught district they are to-day talking it over, “They,” in a general sense, means the gambler who has a luxurious palace for his patrons; the pool-room man who Jays the odds on New Orleans and San Francisco races; the dive keeper whose resort 1s open all night in the guise of a Raines law hotel; the tough, the tout, the thief and others who fear the light and resent the law. “They,” the individuals specified, are asking one another, “Who is Capt. Miles O'Reilly?” They have a vague idea that he {s an honest policeman, ‘That, in the light of thelr experience, 1s some- thing to be wondered at. They have heard that he wiped out the Tenderloin in Brooklyn and trans- formed it into a veritable Sunday- school. They have heard that he came to New York and made the redoubta- ble Peter De Lacy throw up his hands. They have heard that no disorderly houses, no gambling resorts, no side- door violations can exist in the same precinet with Capt, Miles O'Reilly. They ask how he accomplishes all these things, Hin Own Version. ‘Ask him yourself. Miles O'Reilly 1s modest. He will say: “Sure, the newspapers do it. They print the news that Miles O'Reilly will do this and that. and the poor devils of lawbreakers take to their heels and Tun. It isn’t me. It Is the newspapers. Publicity is the greatest aid to the Polloe captain who wants to do honest Police duty.” But before the bold and defiant law- breakers of the Tenderloin take to their heels and run away they will go around and take a peep at the man whose record 1s clean and who insists on the obsery- ance of the law in the strict letter. Pen Picture of the Man. And they will find @ tall man, of spare proportions. A man with a slight stoop to his shoulders. A man with a kindly face, in which twinkle @ pair of merry blue eyes. A face in which the features are strong, though kindly, Hs! jaw is glean and hes cheracter, His sandy mus- tache is aggressive. It’ bristles and stands out. As a rule, men with a mus- tache of this sort are peppery and nown as fighters. His dress is plain. He seldom parades fm uniform, hating display. A rusty ‘brown overcoat covers the brilliant blue and gold when he goes out on the street, and he wears as @ rule a soft that of the Fedora pattern. His manner |s courteous. He has the mative wit of his race—he was born in Ireland—and he does not boast. He shakes hands cordially and firmly. He looks straight into the eye of friend and foe alike, and that merry twinkle can change to the coldest, hardest glint when occasion requires, He supplements his tribute to the newspapers by saying of himself: “{ do nothing but police dut, With Capt. O'Reilly that phrase means enforcement of the law without com- promise, It means for all saloon-keepers in his district a strict observance of the Excise laws it means banishment for dive-keepers, gamblers and pool- room men, Peter De Lacy, the closed his Park Row Capt. O'Reilly went knows what it means In spite of the Oak street record of the new Tenderloin commander the gamblers are ready to bid him defiance. They are in deflant mood because of thelr success in having Snspector Brooks held for raiding Canfleld's, and man who never pool-room until to Oak street, hey will at least try Capt, O'Reilly's mettle, Gamblers Fight Back, “We will stand pat on this butt ot the new Commissioner,” sald a leader among the Tenderloin gamblers to-day. ‘This man O'Reilly may be @ terror to gamblers of the Onk strect variety, but he Is in a new world up here, I understand he has never been through the ‘Tenderloin except in a etreet car, We will wait until he gets his feet on the ground. I guess he ‘hasn't any more brains or backbone than Capt, Dick Walsh, and what did he do? I» this Commissioner Greene ‘ny smarter than old man Partridge? We want to find that out, and we will be in business right along. Anyhow, we are not going to run when O'Reilly barks, He will have to chew steel before he wil) make any’ Impress- ton on us," The pool-room keepers are not so de- Mant, They reallze that it 1s an easy matter fo’ honest plain-clothes men to ®et evidence against them, and they know of Capt, O'Reilly's method of put- ‘ting pool-rooms out of business by keep- 4ng men inside and out of suspected business hours. Propri like the Haymarket and other Twenty-ninth street resorts have had plenty of trouble with Capt. Walsh. @hey expect more from Capt, O'Reilly. Galoon-keepers know that th the new commander means observ- @nce to the lotter of the Dxcise law.) His Work Brooklyn, Over in Brooklyn Capt, O'Rellly had ® habit of working day and night.

A scion of the aristocratic Kernochan Deepdale, the country seat that Wil- liam K. Vanderbilt, jr., hopes to com- plete next summer, promises-to be the haunt of niimerous ghosts and other weird creatures that make their home in thé depths of Success Lake, which, though almost: completely surrounded by Mr. Vanderbilt's property, still be- longs to the township of North Hemp- stead. During the past six months / young Mr. Vanderbilt has had his at- tention called to these strange inhab- tants of the lake in a manner that has caused him no end of irritation and actual trouble. Workmen employed on the Deepdale grounds were not long in discovering that Stccess Lake was “haunted.” They were told that in it there was some terrible creature that was ever on the cutlook for a victim to drag into its depths. Gang after gang has refused to work in the vicinity of the lake for any consideration, There have been numerous strikes and desertions. These workmen, who were mostly Italians, first heard the stories of the ghosts from the villagers. Every time one of the workmen would fall into the bog while working on the north shore of the lake he would cry out that the devil had him by the feet and throw the rest of his comrades into a pante, so that Instead of going to his assist ance they would take to their heels and be almost in Great Neck before they recovered from thelr fright. In this way a half dozen workmen nearly lost their tiv Every one who ha: been caught in the bog has !mmediatel given up his job, declaring positively that when he slipped into the quick- sand some awful creature grabbed his feet and pulled him down. ALL Fear the Ghosts, Most of the huts and shake-downs that the laborers lve in are altuated about the shores of the lake, but when they heard about the ghosts and spe2 tres of the persons drowned in the lake they refused to live in them, and many of them would walk miles to find some other shelter. Many of those who lived In the huts state that they have sean these ghosts at night, and nothing could persuade them to venture near the little body of water after dari, Gang after gang has become imbued Promoters Hope to Raise a Charity Fund of $40,000, Franked with the high approval of the Jewlsh '400,"" graced with the emi- nent patronage of one hundred of its most prominent and charitable society women; favored with the nresence of the State's Chief Executive, who will Open the function with an address, with Mayor Seth Low and an army of willing workers numbering two thousand, whose labors have extended over many months, the annual fair and festival in ald of the Beth Israel Hospital will have an auspicious Introduction at the Madison Square Garden to-morrow evening, with this superstitions terror of the C 3 lake, 20 that the foremen now superin-| Jt I" hoped by the management ot | {aml ie eee id Hale Canpare tion tending the wor kwill not take on any | this worthy charity, whose chief object [COUMe” ATAWing a salary of $1,500 a men unless they swear beforehand that |!8 the amelioration of sickness and auf-| > 44%" Pera prel tts they have no fear of spirits, and even| fering among the women and children| ,,.1¢ wat apvolnted to-day by Corpora: many of those who have sworn to theix|of the congested Haat Side, to raise q {Om Counsel Niven but now until tne bravery have suddenly gathered up| fund of $10,00, one-iialt of which amount |{2UR& MEN had prepared himself by a thelr shovels and picks and quit.
