NU A MEASURE THE ODELL PIE, SAYS MURPHY Tammany Leader Threatens to Have It Done Himself, If Necessary, to Prove That It Is 200 Feet Longer than Others Thereabouts. JEROME ABOUT READY TO ABANDON INQUIRY? He Issues Statement Which Wise Ones Interpret as Signi- fying that the “John Doe” Proceedings Will Soon Be Dropped Without Findings. Charles F. Murphy says he will have Gov. Odell'* pler 24 North River meas- ured by a civil engineer, If necessary, to prove that it 1s 20 feet longer than fits neighbors. “If Dock Commissioner Hawkes says the Odell pler ts not fully 200 feet longer than the others near it,’ declared Leader Murphy to-day, “it will only be Recessary for him to refer to the rec- ords of the department over which he has supervision. If they are not con- elusive enough for him, then I would muggest that he moasure the pler and at the same time compare length and price with the piers near It. As to Brown & Fleming. “Much stress has been laid on the fact that the firm of Brown & Fleming are in Possession of the Canal street pler, and the statement has gone forth from the effice of the District-Attorney that the yer was leased by the Van Wyck Dock Board. If, again, Mr. Hawkeg or the District-Attomey examine the records they will find that the pler was leased to Brown & Fleming by Mayor Strong's Dock Board. The Van Wyck Dock Board Wd give a dock to Brown & Fleming— the old one at Old siip—but that was rented on permit only, which was revoc- @ble at any time by the Dock Board. “The pler at the foot of East Fortleth atreet, now leased by Brown & Fleming, was originally let to the New Achster- dam Gas Company by the Strong Board At $150 a year. When the gas company Telinquished it the Van Wyck Board leased it to Brown & Fleming at 9600 a ear, an advance of $450 a year, or $1,500 for ten years in direct profit to the city.” Jerome Replies to Critics, District-Attorney Jerome to-day ise ued a statement in relation to the John Doe inquiry regarding the Dock Depar ment and the Aqueduct Board, It really an answer to the statement rf ued by Leader Murphy. Those who pretend to read between the lines say {t means that the investl- gation into the Dock Board will be en ed as quickly as possible without find- ings. Mr. Jerome says: “Responsible persons made charges Against both the former Dock Commis- sioners and three of the present Aque- duct Commissioners, If the charges are frue they may Involve criminality, It was my duty to determine whether a erime had been committed. “Ag to procedure I could conduct such Investigations before the Grand Jury or upon information before a Magistrate. It was not possible to pro- ceed before the regular Grand Jury of this county, because the volume of Foutine work Js so great that Jt has not time for anything eise, No Word from Murphy. “As to the former Dock Commisston- ers, I have received no communication from them, but at the proper time, should they desire to give testimony, &n ample opportunity will be afforded them either I nor my assistants have expressed any opinion of the criminal+ (ty of the acts of the Aqueduct Com- miesioners or of the former Dock Com- missioners. I have stated that I be- Meved that the Jeron@ Park reservoir was a miserable piece of work, and that there had been corruption and dishonesty in connection with it, and that the dock properties of the city under the Van Wyck Lock Commission- ere were managed in such a way as not to conserve the Interests of the city, and that in the management of these properties there had been faveritism, corruption and dishonesty, “I belleve both of these statements to be absolutely true, but whether tne Commissioners in either case have com- mitted any ciminai acts I do not know and have not stated, nor do I know how far they were cognizant of or responsi- bie for these matters.”” WORKMEN BURNED IN NAPHTHA EXPLOSION.

SUNBURN DROVE HM TO MADNESS Life-Saver at Coney Island. Scorched to a Bronze by the Sun’s Rays, Is Removed to Hospital Violently Insane. If the woman who goes to the seashore and lies on the sand for hours in the brofling sun to burn her skin because she thinks it adds to her beauty could see Joseph Perkins, strapped to a cot in the New York Hospital, raving with pain day and night, it would change her ideas about the value of @ sun- burn, She would also learn from the attend- Ing physicians that sunburn is only a milder form of skin incineration, and that Instead of adding to her beauty it brings deep lines in the face, hardens the cuticle and with age hastens home- lineas, Perkins {s still crazed from pain. His ls the worst case of sunburn that has ever come under the observation of phy- sicians In the hospital. He has been raving now for twenty-four hours. Although he is not in immediate dan- Ber of death, it will be fully a week be- fore he is able to leave the hospital. Perkins was employed ife-savor at Tilyou's beach, Coney Island, ai- though he only arrived from England six months ago. He is an expert swim- mer and had saved many lives at the summer resorts in his native country. Burned Through suit. His skin ts like tisue paper, and when the recent terrifle hot spell came the sun began to burn him, even penetrating his bathing sult. Perkins had never ex- perlenced such hot weather In England, and as each day went by his suffering was intensified. He went on pluckily, doping that the next day would bring cooler weather or rain. Every one who saw the Iife-saver on the beach pitied him, He told Mr. Til- you that his skin felt as though a rg: hot iron had been applied to it. Ho couldn't sleep Friday night or Saturday night, so flerce was tne pain. He could not He down, The only way that the sufferer could get any rest was to sit In an upright Position, All sorts of remedies were ap- plied, but without bringing any relief to the patient, When Perkins saw the sun come up over the horizon yesterday like a disc of fire he gave up completely, Clothing a Torture. Tt was with the greatest diMeulty that clothes which he had not worn for a week were put on the man. He cried Uke a child with pain, Upon the advice of friends be started tor New York yesterday afternoon just when the shower came up, and crowds of pleasure-seekers were hurrying home. He was jostled and bumped und nearly fainted more than once. On the boat his mind gave way from the awful strain, the suffering and jack of sleep, He raved like a maniac and the captain had him lashed in a bunk until the boat reached this olty when an ambulance took him to New York Hus- pital. 4 “We are doing ll’we can for Par- (BELLE OF BABYLON RUNS AWAY TO WED) enernorean ni THE WORLD: MONDAY EVENING, JULY (3, 19053. ‘|STICKY TRACK AT “THE BAY” FOR TRAINING GALLOPS.
