“Says Inspector Brooks, After ~ Redusing Sixteen Central Of- fice Men, _ “EDDIE” ARMSTRONG IN BLUE Sergt. Butler, Who Was Accused of Working with Thieves in News- paper Expose, Will Now Walk the Curb In Uniform for a Time. “This Is just a beginning,” said In- Spector Brooks to-day of the reduction of four detective-sergeants and twelve @etectives to the rank of patrolmen, ‘Dhe reduction involves a joss of salary to each of the men affected of $000 o Bs year. Inspector Brooks's remark Indi- ates that tho shake-up will be continu- ous unt!] all the dead timber tn the Detective Bureau is thoroughly weeded out, The first man marked for reduction was Detective-Sorgt. Eddie Armstrong, & well-known ‘Tenderloin character. Armstrong learned the detective: bust- Ress under Inspector Byrnes and early: im his career made a good record. Of late years he has been kept in the ‘Ten- defloin, where he lounged about hotel eorridora, saloons and restaurants, xup- Poredly on the lookout for crooks, Mut his recent record does not show that he was adie to catch so much as a bad eold, As far back as the Roosevelt re- @ime Armstrong was reduced to a pa- trolman, but he got back nis old sine- cure when Tammany returned to power. Changes were preferred against him recently by the proprietor of the Hotel Navarre for an alleged attempt to pre- Vent the prosecution of a hotel beat. Nothing seems to have come of them. Another detective-sergoant who put en @ blue uniform this morning was Thomas A, Butler, who was accused of allying himself with weil-known thieves ina recent newepaper expose of crooked- ness in the Detective Bureau. Dete jve-Sergeant Peter J. Finley, Butler's partner, who also figured in that episode, also suffers reduction. He {s one of the oldest men in the bureau and has a fine record. ‘Phe other members of the bureau who 0 back to post duty to-day are Detec- tive-Sergeants Thomas J.

In the house were docked all the boats owned by the chib and its members, Fine shells which cost hun- dreds of dollars, as well as elght-oared barges, mak eup a pile of ashes to-day. ‘The fire was caused by a defective elec- trio-light wire. At the point in the bulding where the fires entered the ts0- lation of the wires wore off. The sparks caught on to the woodwork and the heavy wind which was blowing caused the fire to spread quickly. It was not long before the entire bullding was in flames, and the work of the firemen to save {t was of no avail, The bullding was completely destroyed, The Varuna Boat Club was famous several years ago. It promoted the big- gest athletic events held in tho vicinity of New York. It did not confine its athletic promotions to rowing, but tovk up many branches of sport. Many pr)- fessional fighters well known to the fol- lowers of the game began thelr climb to fame In the little Bay Ridge club- house, At that time, as well as the present, many court justices, as well as holders of minor political offices in Brooklyn, enjoyed a membership in the organization. ‘The losg, it is estimated, will reach 81 of our brush for thirty days; when, !f tt does not do all we claim for it, send seback, and wo will cheerfully REFU) TH MONEY.
