A TIMELY RESCUE
John Smith Is Found Almost As.
phyxiated in Bath Tub

John Smith, who resides in a lodging
house at 3151s West Third street, nearly
lost his life by asphyxiation while taking
a bath yesterday afternoon. He owes
his rescue to premonition on the part
of his wife that something had hap
pened. This prompted her to go to the
bathroom where she discovered his con-
dition in time to save his life.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith are tourists and
recently arrived here from Kansas. Mr..
Smith is an elderly man and in poor
health. Yesterday afternoon about
o'clock he was taking bath in room
in which the water is heated by patent
gas heater. When the tub was filled
he turned off the water and gas at the
same time, but as the water was too
warm he turned the faucet and at the
same time unconsciously moved the
valve which turns on the gas. The room
being tightly closed the gas soon filled
it.
In the meantime Mrs. Smith had be-
come uneasy lest her husband did not
know how to operate the heater and de-
cided to help him. She knocked on the
door of the bathroom and received no
response. This was sufficient to thor
oughly alarm her and Mrs. Smith in
sisted upon having the door broken in.
When this was done her husband was
found unconscious in the tub with his
head just above the water. In a few

MUSIC NOTES

A discriminating and fashionable au-
dience that quite filled the Blanchard
Fitzgerald hall assembled last evening
for Mrs. Isabel Wyatt's song recital, ,and
people were standing through the doors
into the store beyond.
A well-arranged program of charm
ing ballads gave Mrs. Wyatt an oppor-
tunity for displaying to it's best advan-
tage a particularly mellow and sweet
contralto voice of considerable range.
In Barnbys pathetic when the Tide
Comes In" and Maude Valerie Whites
~There Was King of Thule" Mrs. Wy
att brought out the dramatic feeling eff
fectively, and in the romantic tenderness
in the other ballads by Cowen, Groing

ready response in her Interpretation.

MRS. MACK c0NfESSES
THE NEW YORK MIDWIFE TELLS
THE STORY
How ouidensuppe Was Lured to His
Death-Thorn Did the Shooting
ct Her Request

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-The Herald to-
morrow will say: Mrs. Augusta Mack
has made a full confession. She had
until yesterday not uttered a word that
would incriminate herself She had
witbstood the efforts made by the police
to extort from her an admission that
she had killed Guldensuppe or that
she had planned his death and lured
5 him to WOodside, where Martin Thorn
actually did the shooting. The story
that Mrs. Mack has told and that she
will be called upon to repeat to the jury
Is full Of dramatic interest. She has de-
scribed at great length her life with
Guldensuppe in the little fiat on Ninth
avenue near Thirty-fourth street. She
quarreled with him frequently after
Thorn appeared upon the scene. Gull
densuppe was violent and to rid them
selves of him she and Thorn determined
to kill him. She induced him to go to
Woodside to inspect a cottage which
she had hired. as she told him, to conduct
her business as a midwife. She sent him
upstairs alone, and when she heard
shots she knew that Thorn had carried
out his PROMISE
The greatest difficulty was to obliter-
ate the traces of the murder. The only
plan that appeared safe and sure was
to cut the remains into fragments small
enough to be carted away without sus-
picion. When the proceedings had been
prepared Mrs. Mack and Thorn hired a
surrey in this city and drove down to
'Woodside. They threw some of their
bundles into the East river, but were
then frightened by the approach of deck
hands on the ferry boat and drove on
until they found an unfrequented spot
TO leave what remained. The discOv-
cry Of the body was followed within q
Few days by her arrest.

WANT 1T MODIFIED
COMPLAINTS ON ALL SIDES OF
THE HITCHING ORDINANCE
Councilmen Besieged and the City At
torney Kept Busy-Bicycles Not
to Be Molested

Had the city authorities been directly
interested in and affected by the hitch
ing ordinance the matter would not have
caused any more general discussion than
1t did in the city hall yesterday. That
was about the only subject of general
conversation, and every person who
came in was asked il there were any new
features in the rigid enforcement. The
board of police commissioners had it be-
fore them for an hour and throughout
the day it's merits and weak points were
pointed out by it's friends and foes. The
office of the city attorney seemed to be
the rendezvous of the persons who OBJ
jected to the measure, and while many
called to ask about it, greater num-
ber resorted to the telephone, nearly all
of them inquiring as to it's legality. The
impression seemed to have gone abroad
that the ordinance was not legal, and the
inquiries of the city attorney were for
the purpose of getting an answer to the
question as to whether it would stand
a test in the courts. All inquirers were
told that the ordinance was within the
law.
The members of the city council were
accosted on every side by those of their
constituents who had been unfortunate
enough to have violated the measure and
been caught doing so. Men came into
the city hall in a rage and, seeking out
some member Of the council, demanded
that the ordinance be repealed. The one
answer given to such demands was that
a repeal would be impossible before next
Monday and even at that time no prom
ise of repeal was held out.
1t was pointed out. that the merchants
