Detectives That Followed.

New York, June 5.-Joseph Boliski OF
Kearby, n. j., was arrested yesterday by de-
tectives from Perth Amboy on warrant

Boliski, near the works They obtained a
search warrant and yesterday went to serve it.
Boliski saw the detectives coming and pre-
pared to dispute their entrance on his premi

tiff more dangerous assailant. He had
caught the dog by the collar as he sprnng at
his throat, but the do4 freed himself ard
jumped again. This time he missed Peltier's
throat only by n small margin, and tore the

DEATH AFTER VACCINATION.
Investigation to Determine What
Killed Sarah Bernstein.

New York, June 9.-Sarah Bernstein, Is
months old. of 81 Ludlow street, died yester'
day morning in Mount Sinai Hospital Of blood
poisoning. Great interest has been aroused as
10 the direct cause of the child's death. Some
of the persons interested in the case attribute
il TO blood poisoning, resulting from vaccina-
tion, but others trace IL to blood poisoning fol-
lowing an operation for Inflammation of the
thigh bone
Deputy Coroner Weston, who yesterday af-
ternoon made preliminary autopsy of the
body, is inclined to supper this latter view Of
the case and has so stated in the certificate
issued. When he finishes the autopsy today he
will confirm or modify his first report DR..
Mandelbaum of the hospital staff will make
special examination of the body and Presi-
dent Wilson of the health department has
ordered an investigation.
DR. Benedict, chief OF the bureau Of conta-
gt0us tfisuuscs, said d;-
IL do not believe that vaccination had any
thing To do with the child's death. The virus
employed is always of the highest purity, and
tested before use. For each case an individual
needle is used for producing the wound, and
an individual toothpick Tor rubbing the virus
against il. Many people were vaccinated
from the same virus we used on the child,
and the result has been satisfactory in all
cases"
The child's father said
II do not know what caused her death, All
/ know is that we took her to the health de-
partmont ON May II, and she was then vacci-
mated. few days afterward the crust on
the ulcer fell, leaving in her arm a large hole,
which exposed the bone. Dark spots appeared
over her body, which greatly alarmed u.s. On
May II We took the child 10 the health depart
mcnt again, and consulted the same physician
who had vaccinatcd her as 20 what would be
best e. allay the Inflammation. Carbolic To-
tions were prescribed, and we applied them
until the child's condition became so alarming
that we toos her 90 the hospital"

IT WAS A cold ROAST
Little Interest Taken in the Con-
nolly-Hawkins Fight.
WAS CONSIDERED A FAKE
King Was Knocked Senseless in the Pre-
liminary Contest-C onnelly Knocked
Down and Out in the Four
teenth Round by Hawkins.

San Francisco. Dec. 16.-Like other
pugilistic shows promoted by the
knickerbocker club, composed of ward
politicians and race track followers, to-
nights much advertised contest between
Eddie Connolly of New Brunswick and
nal Hawkins of this city was what in
popular parlance, would be termed a
cold roast" For several days rumors
had been going the rounds to the ef-
feet that the fight would be a fake"
contest; that one of the principals, just
which one it was not stated. would lie
down to his opponent, thus allowing the
club or its friends, who We're on the in
side, to recoup themselves for the lack
of patronage by betting on a sure thing.
The preliminary between Tom Lansing
and Joe King was delayed for some
time, owing to the fact that King at
tempted TO make rush at the door
and force in dozen or more of his
friends without the admission fee. The
hoodlums were stopped by the police,
however, and King was arrested and
taken across the street to the police sta
ton, where he was quickly bailed out
by the club officers and finally got into
the ring.
The fight lasted two rounds, Lansing
knocking King senseless with a right
hand smash on the jaw. He was un-
conscious for 10 minutes and was finally
carried from the ring to his dressing
room, where he came around in the
course of a few minutes.
At 8 o'clock there were not more than
500 people on the main floor. and about
the same number in the galleries. 1t
was the poorest crowd that ever at

performers in San Francisco. The lack

The Hawkins-Connelly contest opened
up at fast clip, with Connolly on the
aggressive. In the second round Haw-
k.ns went to his corner groggy, while
Connolly had very bad eye from Dals

seventh round honors were easy. Both
men seemed willing to mix 1t and the
infighting usually ended in Hawkins
favor.
At the end of the seventh Hawkins
was again groggy from a right-hand
smash on the jaw. Hawkins came up
strong for the eighth, however. and
Went after his opponent. He forced
Connolly about the ring. using his ter
rife left-hand half swing with effect
on the Fasteners face and neck. but
vas unable to put it on the jaw. In the
10th round Connolly received a vicious
swing on the temple, which left a cash
from which the blood flowed freely.
The 11th and 18th were Hawkins
rounds. In the 18th Connolly rallied and
forced Hawkins about the ring in a des-
perate attempt to end the fight, but the
round ended with a hard left on Con-
nelly's face, which staggered him. In
the l4th and last round Connolly rushed
and was met by stiff left. In a hot

THE MYSTERY is SOLVED
The Man Who Killed Mrs. Clute
in Custody.
IS A RUSSIAN NIHILIST
His Name Is Albert Frederick George
Verenssenockkockho = He Has
Been Identified as the Man
Who Was at the Flat.

San Francisco, Dec. 16.-The mystery
attending the brutal murder of Mrs Mary
c. Clute in a Guerrero street fiat yester-
day evening has apparently been solved
After a severe struggle the woman was
beaten to death with an iron coupling PIN
which crushed her skull, and the police
are satisfied that the man who used this
deadly weapon is now in custody.
He is a Russian known as Albert Hoff
but his full name is Albert Frederick
George Observation-Disclosures. He stated
to the police that he was born in Baden
in 1880, but he does not appear to be more
than 80 years of age. He had been en-
ployed by Mrs. Clute to assist her to
move and renoyate some mattresses and
was known TO have been at her house
yesterday afternoon. To-day he walked
into the police station and attempted to
account for his presence at the newly
rented Clute fiat. His statements were
suspiciously contradictory however, and
he was placed under arrest.
Late this evening the prisoner was posi-
lively identified by Mrs. l.. A. Legg. who
occupies the room directly under that in
which the murder was committed, as the
man whom She and her invalid father-in-
law saw leaving the house after they tad
been alarmed by Mrs. Clute's dying calls
for help.
Further discriminating evidence against
the prisoner is furnished by the fact that
he is left-handed and that his left hand
is badly cut, as though by the sharp
fange of the coupling pin with which the
murder was committed. Abundant evil
dence was found that a struggle had
taken place, but there was no evid nee
that the assassin had accomplished his
evil purpose, which was not robbery.
Hoff, who strenously maintains his in
nOcenCe is known a socialist
achist, and il is reported that he is ac-
