Three Oat, Alt Oat Is Finale of Closing Tale of Hoffman One Woman In at Death of Noted Old Hostlery That Housed Many Prominent Persons Within the Last Half Century. A middle-sged woman went to the desk of the Hoffman House st 6 o'clock ! Isst evening, turned In her room key,! and. slipping; her b«g from her wrist, said to the clerk: "Please take care of this until to¬ morrow. Ky the way, this is the laut hotel I'm going to permit to close over my hesd. It's the fourth. I sm cured." Mr«. C. R. Scarborough certainly is cured. She'll sign a testimonial. She lived at the Fifth Avenue Hotel until that Inn was boarded up for the sue-, tloneer; «he was one or the last guests to depart from the Victoria; she can give you the dying words of the Albc- marle. Mrs. Scarborough was ono of the last three persons on the Hoffman fir¬ ing line. F. E. Oonover, a builder, snd James F. Mack, a lawyer, remained until Daniel F. Ritchey. proprietor, of¬ ficially pronounced the hotel dead. The auction services will be per¬ formed on Thursday. Ry an accident it wa« learned that the bar will remain open for about two weeks. Mr. Ritchey has closed more hotels than any one man has ever opened. He stands in the same relation to the hotel business that Joe Cain does to antemic theatrical enterprises. They draw up the will when he approaches. "I'm hardened," he said to The Trih- une j-eporter who asked him to dish up ' LINER, IN CRASH, HURLS 4 TO SEA West India Craft Hits Barges.Rescues Men Dashed Overboard. While outbound last night for West Indian ports the steamship Nickerie. of the Royal Dutch West India Mail I-ine, crashed into the rear barge of a pair that was being towed tandem fashion by a tug. She hit the barge «midships with her sharp bow, hurling four bargemen into the water. The Nickerie backed away promptly, low¬ ered a lifeboat, and within a few min- utes the four »ere picked up und taken abosrd the tug, which had cast otT hn lines ami put back to the barge. Apart from the chill of exposure the men were not injured. Dry clothing was provided for th>-ra, and later, when the tug straightened out her tow and proceeded with it to a dock in Brook- ":yn, the men resumed Iheir places on' their barge, which had not been seri- ousîy damaged. The Nickerie was proceeding outward at about nine knots, wh«*n she came j suddenly upon the bargps, their prox¬ imity being discovered too late for her to veer off and avoid them. When the crash rame the Dutch skipper ordered hia wireless operator to send out a call for help, and the United States de- M roye- licDougal responded to her as-! sistance at full spee«l. Meanwhile the Nickerle's boat had picked up the bargemen. The liner's bow was damaged near the waterlitie. and her master decided to anchor off Qnasantina until he could ascertain the ».riousness of the blow. It was Mid that he would remain until a careful survey is made, and if repairs are not necessary he will proceed on his way to Hayti. Observers on shore, on learning of the collision, were at a loss to explain how it happened. The tup, with her two barges, was observed steaming out. the Narrows, displaying the lights from her mast. The Nickerie, it was thought, had an abundance of room to pass, hut bit, it is said, by giving way to a small, unidentified steamship passing into port. As soon as the liner's M8 0 B" was sounded help came from several tugs lying off Morse's Drydock, in South Brooklyn, and three power boats from Tompkinsville and Stapletofl sped out. When they arrived, however, 1hc barge men had been rescued and put aboard the tug that had had the »«arges in tow. -.a»- WOMAN BURGLAR IN JAIL AS A MAN «Mingled Months with Other Prisoners Without Secret Being Discovered.

Samuel Liebman, charged by the New York police with throwing his two children, Sadie and Samuel, out of the fifth story window of their home, causing the girl's death, was arrested here to¬ night on information furnished by New York detectives and neld for requisi¬ tion. At Police Headquarters Liebman made a frank confession of his crime. "Several months ago my wife sued me for a divorce, charring desertion," he said. "After I had rai" the ex¬ penses of th« proceeding, which amounted to more than $500, I saw her and we had a quarrel over the chil¬ dren. "I told her that if I could not have the children, she certainly could not lave,them, so I threw them out of the window. That's all mere is to it." "I came here to get enougli money from a relative," said Liebman. "I wanted to get away to Dallas, Tex., where I have friends and where 1 want to spend the rest of my life. 1 had decided that, if I failed in get ting transportation there, I would give myself up to the police. I figured that I would be supplied with a lawyer and could put up a good fight for my free¬ dom. No jury would convict me af¬ ter 1 had told of the dog's life I led with my wife." Liebman told how he had lured the children to the window from which he threw them. "My wife had gone downtown to do some shopping." he said, "and I sat up in the rooms with the children. They were playing together. They always playe dwhen »he was a »«.ay. Before .-he left we had been quarrelling. She told me to leave her and I told her I never would leave the children with her. She said 1 would never have anything to do with them. "They were playing going to a fire. I sat watching them. I went to the window and opened it. 'Here's a real tire engine coming down the street,' I said, and they came running over. 1 lifted them up to see the engine and then I dropped them." Liebman, the police say, was traced her« by means of a letter in which he requested a friend to meet him at Fifth and Market Streets, this city, late this afternoon. Detectives If« hone- and Jennottie, in company with Detective lasassa, of the New York force, watched for the man at the meeting place and took him into cus- tody when he appeared. Lieutenant Täte, in charge of the Philadelphia Detective Bureau, said Liebman had agreed to write and sign a confession containing all the decla¬ rations he had made orally, but that he lost his nerve after dictating about half, and then refused to sign it. At Police Headquarters last night it was said every effort would he made to bring Liebman back here imme¬ diately to face the charge of homicide preferred against him for causing the death of his daughter Sadie, seven years old. She died at Mount Sinai Hospital, where Samuel, six years old, is still in a critical condition. Mrs. Bertha Liebman. mother of the children, was not at her home, 7.'. East Ninety-eighth Slreet, last night. Neigh¬ bors said she had told them after the tragedy she never wanted to step foot in the house again. Feeling against Liebman is bitter in the neighborhood, and there wa.i re¬ joicing when it became known that he had been arrested. He has long borne h reputation for being quick-tempered. .he neighbors say, and all the little children were afraid of him. EX-SENATOR BURTON SAILS Will Try to Improve Relations with Soutli America.

CLEWS IN MURDER POINTTO'FRIEND' AS CHILD SLAYER Police Hunt Narrowing to House Where Girl Was Killed. SAY "RIPPER" KNEW AND LURED VICTIM Candy May Aid Detectives In Search.Penknife Used to Slash Little One. One man already is under espionage, credited with too much knowledge of I.eonoro Cohn's brutal murder. With no tangible lea.I, with not even a fingerprint to work on, detectives have already formed theories that narrow their suspicions. They hunted yester¬ day through the house at 350 Third Avenue, where tho five-year-old girl was found slashed to death Friday night. They went over it with a mental microscope. True, they combed the haunts of men vile enough to have been the murderer. But always the search seemed to close in on the vicin¬ ity of the crime. The idea that the crime was an in¬ side job, committed by some one who knew little "Smarty" Conn well, was shared, too, by many of the people in the house. Henry Eckers, the child's uncle, said last night: Lured by Acquaintance. "The man who killed her knew her. She wouldn't have let any stranger pick her up. She wouldn't have let him touch her. She'd have «creamed ro loud everybody in the house would have heard her." Commissioner Woods took personal charge of the 'ase as soon us he ap¬ peared at Police Headouarters in '.he morning. He immediately took tbp levers that control the wheels of nolice machinery, ami by 9 o'clock fifty crack men of the detective service were try¬ ing to'fiad a way to run the quarry to earth. A squad hurried to the Third Ave¬ nue hulls.., and tooh up the work al¬ ready started hy the men from the Second Branch Detective Bureau. With electric flashlights they examined every foot of the stair-, ¡ind hallways. They suranned up ladders to look on top of elosets. They climbed the steps of one house le cla«nl"-r dovr trie shuttles -f others. 1 hey interview, each art every one in the double tene¬ ment house, verified the stories told the night before, and took down addi¬ tional statements.

Leonore was a frequent and always cheerful caller, and everybody liked her friendly manner-, When Miss Cadia informed the child the only milk the bakery had was bot¬ tled Leonor, said, "All right. Thank you," very prettily, and went out. She turned to smile at Misa ( ...lis, and the cashier «aya she looked past the girl and saw a man standing outside ihe glass door. The little girl went back upstairs to ask if she could go to Reisen's, at 3id Kast Twenty-sixth Street, where the Cohn family has a charge account.

Prosecutor Admits Chief Witness's Name Is Not Osborne, but Declares Man of Mystery Is Not a Man of Fiction. Considerable of the mysterious and the intangible was injected yesterday into the case of Miss Rae Tanzer, the diminutive millinery forewoman, who brought suit against James V. Os¬ borne, former Assistant District Attor¬ ney, for $50,000 for breach of promise. The complications began to set in when "Oliver" Osborne, the man whose statement that he was the original "Hear Oliver" referred to in Mils Tan- zer's letters, formed the basis of the charge of using the mails to defraud made against the girl by Mr. Osborne, failed to appear at her arraignment before United States Commissioner lloughton. The prisoner was brought from the jail at the Greenwich Street police station, where she spent the night, be¬ fore Commissioner lloughton and held in $5,000 bail for further examination Wednesday at 2:30 p. m. An adjournment was granted on the request of Assistant United States At¬ torney Wood, who declared that the government desired a few «laya in arhich to assemble its evidence in the cas*,. Counsel for the Tamer girl in¬ sisted upon an immediate hearing, with out avail. Neither .lames \V osborne nor the prosecution's chief witness, "Oliver" Osborne, was present. Vain Wait for O.

ALLIES RESUME TASK OF FORCING TURKISH STRAITS French Officially Report Sixty-four of Bouvet's Crew Saved. WEATHER HAMPERS NAVAL OPERATIONS Four of the Irreslstible's Officers Killed, One Wounded.Ad¬ miral Carden Safe. Athen*. March 20 ivia London).-- The Turkish force» on the coa»t of th« Gulf of Smyrna hare bean rain- forced to th« number of 80,000. It i» reported that 10,000 troops hava b*en sent to «trenghten the garrisons on the Dardanelles. London, March 20..Undaunted by the loss of the battleship« Bouvet, Ocean and Irresistible, the Allle-i are going confidently ahead with their at¬ tempt to force the Dardanelles. On their side, the Turks express confidence that the forts and the mlnaa in the «trait will b* able to keep out th* ships of the Allies. Kxcept in the case of the Bouret, of whose crew only sixty-four were *aved, the casualties suffered in the bombard¬ ment of Thursday are «aid to be light. The British Admiralty to-night pub¬ lished the losses among the officers on the Irresistible, and although the «hip wa* sunk and the crew had to be transferred under a hot fire, the li«t contains the names of only four offi¬ cers killed and one severely wounded. Part of the fleet re-entered the »trait yesterday, but owing to the un¬ favorable weather the bombardmer.t of the day before was not repeated, and probably the only object of the war« ships was to prevent the Turk« f.-ora repairing the damage already done. Danger Will lie Constant. fk The Admiralty state* that step« aro«ij being taken to deal wi'.h the mine», but experts warn the pub'.ic that so long; as the Turks have mines to «et free in the strong current which rushes through the strait, the «hips will be exposed to this danger. The dire«-tion of the currents, of cour**, i« known, but with a big fleet operating, some of th« ships must enter the area thus mined, and, lying across the »trait to fira broadsides, offer a large target to floating explosives. The intentions a* to the landing of a force are closely guarded, but it i« known that an army of considerable size is ready to attack the Turkisn forces along the Dardanelles when the admirals advise that the moment bas arrived. The French battleship Henri Quatri» and the British battleship Queen and Implacable are already on their way to replace the ships sunk by the mines, and those »hip* which were damaged are undergoing repairs on the *pot. Thu«, with a few day* at the lateat, the fleet will be a« formidable an ever, while the Russian Black Sea squadron is believed to be ready to co-operate. Battleship* Re-enter Straits. Six battleship« re-entered the Darda« nelles on Friday, according to a Renter dispatch received here from the island of Tenedoa. This resumption of the action failed to accomplish anything, for the reason that unfavorable weather conditions made operations impossible. The naval ctnsor *aid to-night that there wa* "ahsolutely no truth" in the widely publi.-hed report that Viet-- Admiral Sackville Carden had been killed or wounded during th* bombard¬ ment of the I'ardanelles. Th«> report was spread after the announcement, that Yice-Adrriral Carden had been re¬ lieved of command of the British divi¬ sion of the allied fleet at th« Darda¬ nelles, having been Incapacitated by ill¬ ness, and that he had been succeeded by Rear Admiral John Michael da Robeck.

This number n increased, however, in time of war. The losses on the other «hips of the French division which took paît m thi* action are declared to be verv slight.

night on information furnished by NewYork detectives and neld for requisi¬tion.At Police Headquarters Liebman
made a frank confession of his crime."Several months ago my wife sued
me for a divorce, charring desertion,"he said. "After I had rai" the ex¬penses of th« proceeding, whichamounted to more than $500, I saw herand we had a quarrel over the chil¬dren.
"I told her that if I could not havethe children, she certainly could notlave,them, so I threw them out of thewindow. That's all mere is to it."
"I came here to get enougli moneyfrom a relative," said Liebman. "Iwanted to get away to Dallas, Tex.,where I have friends and where 1want to spend the rest of my life. 1had decided that, if I failed in getting transportation there, I would givemyself up to the police. I figured thatI would be supplied with a lawyer andcould put up a good fight for my free¬dom. No jury would convict me af¬ter 1 had told of the dog's life I ledwith my wife."Liebman told how he had lured the
children to the window from whichhe threw them."My wife had gone downtown to do
some shopping." he said, "and I sat upin the rooms with the children. Theywere playing together. They alwaysplaye dwhen »he was a »«.ay. Before .-heleft we had been quarrelling. She toldme to leave her and I told her I neverwould leave the children with her. Shesaid 1 would never have anything todo with them."They were playing going to a fire.
I sat watching them. I went to thewindow and opened it. 'Here's a realtire engine coming down the street,' Isaid, and they came running over. 1lifted them up to see the engine andthen I dropped them."Liebman, the police say, was traced
her« by means of a letter in which herequested a friend to meet him atFifth and Market Streets, this city,late this afternoon. Detectives If«hone- and Jennottie, in company withDetective lasassa, of the New Yorkforce, watched for the man at themeeting place and took him into cus-
tody when he appeared.Lieutenant Täte, in charge of the
Philadelphia Detective Bureau, saidLiebman had agreed to write and signa confession containing all the decla¬rations he had made orally, but that helost his nerve after dictating abouthalf, and then refused to sign it.
At Police Headquarters last night itwas said every effort would he madeto bring Liebman back here imme¬diately to face the charge of homicidepreferred against him for causing thedeath of his daughter Sadie, seven
years old. She died at Mount SinaiHospital, where Samuel, six years old,is still in a critical condition.
Mrs. Bertha Liebman. mother of thechildren, was not at her home, 7.'. EastNinety-eighth Slreet, last night. Neigh¬bors said she had told them after thetragedy she never wanted to step footin the house again.Feeling against Liebman is bitter in
the neighborhood, and there wa.i re¬
joicing when it became known that hehad been arrested. He has long borneh reputation for being quick-tempered..he neighbors say, and all the littlechildren were afraid of him.

London, March 20..Undaunted bythe loss of the battleship« Bouvet,Ocean and Irresistible, the Allle-i are
going confidently ahead with their at¬tempt to force the Dardanelles. Ontheir side, the Turks express confidencethat the forts and the mlnaa in the«trait will b* able to keep out th*ships of the Allies.Kxcept in the case of the Bouret, of
whose crew only sixty-four were *aved,the casualties suffered in the bombard¬ment of Thursday are «aid to be light.The British Admiralty to-night pub¬lished the losses among the officers on
the Irresistible, and although the «hipwa* sunk and the crew had to betransferred under a hot fire, the li«tcontains the names of only four offi¬cers killed and one severely wounded.
Part of the fleet re-entered the»trait yesterday, but owing to the un¬
favorable weather the bombardmer.t ofthe day before was not repeated, andprobably the only object of the war«
ships was to prevent the Turk« f.-orarepairing the damage already done.
Danger Will lie Constant. fkThe Admiralty state* that step« aro«ij

The dire«-tionof the currents, of cour**, i« known, butwith a big fleet operating, some of th«ships must enter the area thus mined,and, lying across the »trait to firabroadsides, offer a large target to
floating explosives.The intentions a* to the landing of a
force are closely guarded, but it i«known that an army of considerablesize is ready to attack the Turkisnforces along the Dardanelles when theadmirals advise that the moment basarrived.The French battleship Henri Quatri»
and the British battleship Queen andImplacable are already on their way to
replace the ships sunk by the mines,and those »hip* which were damagedare undergoing repairs on the *pot.Thu«, with a few day* at the lateat,the fleet will be a« formidable an ever,while the Russian Black Sea squadronis believed to be ready to co-operate.
Battleship* Re-enter Straits.Six battleship« re-entered the Darda«

to accomplish anything, for the reasonthat unfavorable weather conditionsmade operations impossible.The naval ctnsor *aid to-night that
there wa* "ahsolutely no truth" in thewidely publi.-hed report that Viet--Admiral Sackville Carden had beenkilled or wounded during th* bombard¬ment of the I'ardanelles. Th«> reportwas spread after the announcement,that Yice-Adrriral Carden had been re¬
