A FIST te OPENED AVENUE IN ULMER PARK Deputy Commissioner Van Vleck and Owner Texter in Battle. {PRIED APART BY POLICE In Mean Time City Laborers, \ Routed Armed Guards and { Tpre Down Park Fence. "BARRED WAY TO SHORE ‘exter Now Threatens Suit, but Borough Officials Say They Acted on Court's Order, Through an effort by the Public Works Department of Brooklyn to tear down the fence of Ulmer Park, at Gravesend. to make way for wenty-fifth avenue, throuxh to the shore, to-day, William Texter, owner of the park, and Deputy Commissioner of Public Works ‘Van Vleck came to blows, They were eBeparated by three policemen from the Bath Beach station, summoned by Tex- ter to protect the park. While they fwere still strugrling a gang of twenty- four laborers from the Department of Public Works olursed down upon Tex- ter's guards, who were armed with shot- guns. and drove them aw By the time Van ok were quieted by the pollee the fence mas torn down. Texter had attempted and Texter to keep the fence wreckers away by Uning up four mn with shotguns. a man with a pack of bulldogs and blood- hounds and fimally the three policemen, When Van Vieck and his laborers ar- rived this afternoon they found Texter mnd his men ating the fence. Vieck asked the pollveemen to arrest ‘Texter. but they refused, suying they had been called there to protect the park. Then the fight started The trouble revolves about a question of the legaitty of condamnation pro- ceedings taken some time ago. By the ruling of the court, Twenty-fifth ave- nue was to be continued through Ulm Park, which is a plonic resort in the summer. On the official maps of the dorough the avenue was drawn to con- form With the devision, Recently rough President Coler sent an emissary to Texter. telling him that Alderman Louls M. Potter had re- Ported residents of ihe district as com- platning because they cou'd not go to the water front without willing around Ulmer Pank, The messenger told Tex- ter he should tear down his fence, compliance with he court's orders, ting to Secretary Heffernan the er came back with the report to pay any at- tention to the order. The matter was then turned over to» Commiss mond Dunne, of the Depai Public Works, and to~lay’s affair was the result. ‘Texter declares he will bring in mul: against the clty for tearing down his fence and selzing the strip of land for the extension of the avenue.

SLEUTHS ARE BAFFLED Italian Detectives Fail to Penetrate the Mystery in Two Crimes— Widow Unable to Lift Veil. The mystery tn the murder of Abele |Clampa, the Itallan who was found stabbed to death early yesterday morn- jing within a block and a half of his ome at No. 2196 Highty-fifth stret, Ben- sorhurst, continues to grow deeper. The | detectives admit freely that the case ts one of the most luffing they huve ever | attempted to solve. They have settled on the fact that the tailor was Killed from motives of revenge and not, as was at first supposed, for robbery. yhat has proved the most d'fficutt varrier for the pokce is the fuct that everything that might throw any light upcn the dead man’s past is shrouded in mystery. It ie now evident that he made It his business to veil ail the de- | tatls of his private life from even his | own family. Not only did he weave an {mpenctrable web about himself while | Wving, but his efforts seem to have been | directed toward foiling any attempt that might be made to inrestigue his history | after his death, Detectlve-Sergts. Vachris and Mealli have made some discoveries that they belleve will reveal another mystery If |they can probe it to the bottom. Two | weeks ago Niccolo Palletlerre, an Ital- \ian. was found dead in a vacant lot in |Sheepshead Bay, On his body were \twenty-one stab wounds, all made with a pecultar thin-bladed stiletto. The mo- itive was evidently revenge. He had been in this country six years and haiket from the province of Bonavento, Italy. Very little is known of his ante- jcedents. Clampa was found dead with fifteen stab wounds in his body end with his head almost severed. The weapon that had been used was @ thin-bladed sti- jetto of peculiar make. The dead man hat come from the province of Bona- | vente six years ago. Nothing is known jot his Ife there or of the reasons for his coming to this country. Goth mur- Iders offer striking evidences of simi- jlarity, It 1s the bellof of the detectives that if they can lay hands on the mur- derer of one of the Italians they will nave found the r of the other, One of the most peculiar circumstances connected with the tragedy deals with the actions of the dead man. He al- ways kept his Ittle belongings at the various tailor shops which he from ume to time started at different places throughout Brooklyn and) New York. At the time of his marriage to Miss Romeo, daughter of a wealthy fruit dealer in this city, his bride asked him to have his picture taken with her. His refusal wa considered strange. The family of Mrs. Clampa knew nothing of the history of their son-t- law. They were opposed to the mai e. i The police believe that the murders of the Itallans are the result of a quar- rel or grudge carried over from Italy. They believe the bwo men were marked for death and that their murdererg fol- lowed them across the Atlantic. TRUANT OFFICER FELL TO DEATH DOWN AREA. Franz Rabe, an officer of the Truant School, in Brooklyn, stumbled to his death to-day into the area of No, 1034 Second avenue, Manhattan. He was dead when a policeman found him at |the foot of the steps leading Into the bagement of the tenement. Until two months ago Rabe lived with his son-in-law, Otto Schmidt, at Fifty- weventh street and New Utrecht ave- Brooklyn. He left there without 100! war. His money ($7) and watch were found intact in his leth- ing, also the of several saloons he is preramied to have visited during ELEVENTH AVENUE BILL FAVORABLY REPORTED.

PETERSBURG, Feb. 21,—Through the disappearance of a Journalist, Mu- tushensky, the press agent and real brains of the Father Gapon movement, the disclosure has been made that the Moderate Labor organization which Gapon established in St. Petersburg after the publication of the Imperial manifesto of Oct. 30, 1904, was subsidized by the Government, which supplied the funtis for the rent of its club-houses Mterature. Radical circles are most elated over the revelation, which was made in an open letter by the President of the Puti- loft section of the organization, com- plaining that $12,000 of the funds fur- nished through M, Timtriazeff, until re- ently Minister of Commerve, had not reached the treasury. The Socialists claim that this spell: the downfall of the Conservative oppo. sition to the full revolutionary pro- &ramme among the workmen. It 1s now shown thet Gapon really played a minor role in the formidable movement of January, 1905, and that Matushen- sky was the director of the campaign which mystified both the police and the old-time revolutionisis and that Ma-! tnushensky was the author of the groat pe- ution with which the workingmen were | marching to the Winter Palace Sunday, Jan, 2, 1906, to present to the Emperor when the troops fired on them, | A curicus commentary on the condi- tions prevailing Is the Cabinet's action in opening club-houses for which the Government furnished the money, when up to the present Interior Minister D. novo has not permitted assemblica of conservative workmen, which ure dis pared “= rigorously as those of the st ————— FAIR LAGOON A CAR YARD.
