Found on Burning Bed, Had ‘Been Reproved by His , Father. HAD DIED HOURS BEFORE. @as Escaping from Two Jets Ex- ploded When It Reached One Burning Jet in Hotel Room Occu- pled by Bernstein. Friends of Benjamin Bernstein, whose — body was found on a burning bed in a | Foom in the Central Bridge Iotel, One Hundred. and Fifty-third street and (Macomb's Dam road, believe he killed himself. Bernstein, who was twenty-seven yeers old, was a lawyer at No 346 * Broadway, and lived with his father at No. 603 Hudson s He returned from Watertown, N. Monday after- moon after winning a lawsult. It is paid that he had been drinking and that this father reproached him for it. He ‘went to the hotel, with the proprietor "of which, Roger W. O'Connell, he had ~ Gad business relations, ‘He drank heavily at the hotel, !t was and Monday night at 10 @’clock he secured a room in the hotel. ™ ordering his last drink he gave the ‘waiter, Jerome MoGuire, a tip and said: “Jerome, this is the last tip I will ever give you.” Before retiring he left an order to be ealled at 8 o'clock yesterday morning. Mrs. C. D. Blair, the housekeeper, galled him at that hour and he replied that he did not want to get up then, but would be up in a few hours. At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon Mrs. Blair called again and received no re- gponse. She and O'Connell were on their way to break into the room when they heard an explosion and the tran- fom and windows were blown out of Bernstein's room. ‘The room was in flames and Bern-| stein's body was lying on the turning ed. It was pulled out after being) lightly burned. The fire was extin- guished by the hotel apparatus. It was! found that one gas jet was burning @nd that two others were turned on without being Nghted. It was the theory @f the police that the gas escaping from the two open jets had been exploded by the flame from the other jet. Coroner Scholet was called and his Physiclan said that Bernstein had beea Gead several hours before the explosion. When the young la returned from Watertown he ‘fad $00. in. tis clothes was found. ther, uel Bernstein, chief’ clerk in the Surrogate's office ‘and a! tiolan in the Seventh Assembly Dis- ict, has taken charge of the body.

Bernstein, Whose Body Was|New Boat Finished First, of Course, but No Time Allow- ance Was Granted to Her Rival, Constitution. VERY CLOSE RACE AT BEST. (Special to The Evening World.) GLEN COVE, May Z1.—Betting to-day On to-morrow's race #0 far as Reliance and Constitution are concerned was f to 6 in favor of the new boat. Constitution Surprised every one by her excellent Performance, Under the rules Reliance would have to give Constitution a sailing allow- ance, Although neither yasht has been meagured yet tt is estimated that Re- Hance’a sailing length 1s 108 feet. She beat Constitution by 2 minutes 21 sec- onds, Constitution's racing length $s sup- Posed to be 104 feet, so that ehe would get an allowance of 1 minute and 67 sec- onds. On this basis Reliance beat her rival by only twenty-four seconds. If Rellance's racing line proves to be more than 108 feet Constitution won yester- day's race. ‘There never was a minute soon after the start when Columbia had a chance. She had hard Juck all around, and it is expected that if the satne breeze of from nine to twelve knots blows over the Sound to-morrow she will make a better showing. As it was, she came fast at the finish, even if she was fifteen minutes and fifty-one seconds behind Rellance, Reliance has demonstrated one thing.

Rellance did not 60 as good work reaching and beating to windward as Constituuon. She was han to handle, too, although four men were at the wheel. The new boat also shows that she is not nearly as stiff as the other two. She heels away over compared with Columbia, and Constitution, Columbia and Constitution lay at their moorings in Hempstead Harbor to-day, while Reliance was over at New Ro- chelle, ‘It was about as grand @ race be- tween ninety-footers as one would care to see," sald Capt. Rhoades to-day, ‘We made one or two Uttle mistakes, but on the whole I am not sure that Constitution didn’t win the race after all. I mean on the allowance that Re- liance must give us.
