A LONG CHASE
and A HARD CHASE"
Andrew McGuerlin Rifed Radin's
Window and Gave a Good Run to
His Captors-Now in Jail

Andrew McGuerrin. of Market street
q young man about twenty years of
age. was last night arrested by PATROL
man Boland. Special officer John Tier
ney and Robert Simpson, of North
Washington avenue. and taken to the
Center street police station, on the
charge of breaking a window in $.
Radin's pawn shop. at 1913 Penn ave-
nue., and taking three revolvers.
McGuerrin was Il particularly bold
marauder, as it was only 1880 o'clock
when he kicked in the big glass front
and grabbed the three pistols. The
crash of the falling glass was heard
by Special Officer Tierney and Mr..
Simpson. who were nearby, and they
started for the offender. He saw them
coming and straightway took to his
heels. He was feet of foot, and terror
gave him even more speed as he
dashed to T.ackawanna avenue and
then started on his course towards the
West Lackawanna avenue bridge.
Tierney isn't built exactly for sprint
ing purposes, and he soon fell behind In
the race, but Simpson gained steadily.
and when the 100 block of the avenue
was reached managed to trip up the
fugitive. He fell to the pavement,
painting and breathless, and was trans
ferred to the custody of Patroman
Dominicl1 Boland, on whose beat Nc
Guerrin was captured. He will be given
his hearing this morning.

there were just exactly eleven mem
bers present. Mr.. Oliver, who hereto-
fore had been I'm favor OF the ordin-
ance, voted mo" and this prevented
the measure from receiving the neces-
sary eleven votes. In voting mo" Mr..
Oliver explained that he did so be-
cause he had been lied into a trap"
The trap he referred to was the fact
that Mayor Moir had just vetoed the
resolution directing that $500 be ex-
pended in making repairs at the Co.
lumbia Hose company's quarters. Now,
this ordinance contained an item for
that specific Improvement and Mr..
divers point was that Chief Zizel-
mann should not have urged him to
secure the passage OF this ordinance
and then have urged the mayor to veto
the resolution.
The point which Mr.. Oliver OVER
looked was that no appropriation ex-
listed until the ordinance making the
transfer was passed. In other words,
the resolution which Mayor Moir ve-
toed should not have been introduced
until after the passage OF the ordin-
ance. 1t is extremely probable that
action will be reconsidcrcd at the next
meeting.

Deficiency LIST is
A VERY LONG one
To Date Heads Of Departments Have
Expended SIS, 1871 More Than
the Appropriations for Year.

An examination of Controller How
ellis ledgers yesterday by q Tribune
man revealed the fact that deficiencies
amounting to s5.15S.71 have been Gre
atcd by the heads of various depart
ments so far this year.
This is an especially large amount,
inasmuch as the fiscal year is only a
little more than half expired. The de-
ticiencies are divided among the several
departments, as follows: Fire depart
ment. $3S22. Oh: city clerks department.
$22419; city troasurer's department.
$1962l; street commissioners depart
ment, SS54.S3: board of health $5623:
parks department, S5.21: total, $5,15s.71.
This. of course, does not include any
deficiency bills which may be on file in
the offices of the various heads of de-
partments and which they may have
neglected. purposely or otherwise, to
send to the auditing committee for ap-
prevail
The controller in discussing the mat
ter yesterday, said that, although he
was opposed to the creation of defic-
iencies, he could not see where any of
the present deficiency bills had been
ncedlessly contracted. Especially was
this true of the fire department, he
said, where the chief had been obliged
to contract these obligations, possessed
as he was with the knowledge that in
contracting them he was creating de-
ticiencies.
ut would seem to me- said he. chat
councils should by resolution, if not by
ordinance, direct such purchases wher-
ever they are absolutely necessary, in
order to relieve the department heads
from any individual responsibility"
The amount of deficiencies created so
far this year almost equals the entire
amount created last year.

DOWIE'S HELP WAS
ORDERED BACK HOME
He Wants to Start Lace Mill That
Will Be Rival of Scranton
and Other Concerns.

The members of the National Lace
Workers. association Who are EN-
ployed by the Scranton Lace Curtarf
company arc very much Interested ir,
u case which has been pending before
u board of examiners appointed by
immigration Commissioner Rodgers,
of Philadelphia for the past few days.
1t appears that the celebrated Dowie,
the head of the Zion church of Chi
cago, some time ago conceived the
idea of establishing an industrial
town in Waukegan, Illinois, where he
proposed to establish great lace fac
tory. He conferred with Secretary
Gage and Commissioner General of
immigration Powderly regarding the
importation of several skilled opera
tives from England to instruct the
other hands whom he proposed to en-
gage.
flc was told that hr could import
such operatives if he could prove thai
the industry to be established was i
new one. there being a clause in the
contract labor law which permits the
importation of operatives for the pur-
pose of establishing new Industries.
DoWie went to England and engaged
his operatives, five in number.
They arrived in Philadelphia on
Tuesday on board the American liner
Waesland, but their landing was Wig
orously protested against by the eX-
ecutive committee of the Lacemaker's
union, which contended that tie in
dustry they We're to establish was not
new one and that II they were al
lowed to land that competition would
ensGe which would seriously affect the
interests of the laceWorkers through
out the country.
The committee contended that the
lacve which DoWie intends to manufac-
ture is precisely the same as the lace
now being manufactured by the Scran-
ton company and by a number Of other
firms in various parts of the United
States A board of examiners appoint
ed by Commissioner Rodgers decided
against the imported workmen, and the
latter official on Wednesday ordered
that they be deported.
On Thursday, however, Attorney
Williams, who represents the interests
of the emigrants, appeared before
Commissioner Rodgers and offered to
prove that the Supreme court has de-
cided that the contract labor law ap-
plies only to manual laborers and not
to skilled laborers: that the manufac-
ture of the kind of lace which it is pro-
posed to make is Il new industry and
that no evidence exists that the emf
grants came to this country under any
contract.
Commissioner Rodgers accordingly
consented to a reopening of the case,
and another hearing was held yester-
day afternoon. The result of this hear
ing is contained in the following Asso-
oiated Press dispatch, received in The
Tribune office last night:
Philadelphia, Nov. lG.-1he board of inquiry,
which has been investigating the case OF The lace
workers. alleged TO have been brought 10 this
country from Europe by Zionist Dowic IN viola.
tion OF the contract labor law, decided today
That the men, women and children composing
the party must return TO their homes.
The matter was once before decided against
them, but the case was ropened upon an ap.
peal.

CLOSE OF DEER SEASON.
Snowfall in Adirondacks Has Led to
Great Destruction of Deer.

by Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press.
Utica, n. y, Nov. 16.--The deer sea-
son closed in the Adirondacks yester-
day. This is fortunate, if it is desired
to keep alive any considerable portion
of the animals in the woods, as the
snowfall during the past week has led
hundreds of hunters to seek the woods
and the slaughter of deer has been
enormous
Scarcely party returns in which the
members do not have the full number
of animals they are permitted by law
TO kill. If reports are true, some par
ties have killed more than they ought.
and have hired boys and guides to join
rhem and make up deficiencies.
Throughout the whole northern region
from six to fourteen inches of snow is
lying on the ground and ice is forming
ON the lakes.

SAYS HE WOULD BE
BADLY HANDICAPPED
Chief zizelmann, OF the Fire Depart
ment, Disappointed Over Killing
of the Transfer Ordinance.

Chief Zizelmann, of The fire depart
ment, was very much disappointed
yesterday when he learned that select
council had killed the ordinance pro,
viding for the transfer of $1,000 from
various accounts for fire department
purposes.
He says that if the action on this
matter is not re-considered and that
IL select council does not pass the or
dinance at its next meeting it will
greatly handicap him for the remain
der of the fiscal year and will prevent
many absolutely necessary purchases
and improvements being made.

The Remains or Paul Js,tl.-.

The remains of Paul Jones, the American sailor of the revolutionary war, having been located in an ob-. scure Paris cemetery, which has long since been built overs desire has been expressed to have the remains, if they can be located, removed to the United States. But the American colony in Paris has another plan. If Washing ton consents. it intends to buy the ground, remove the encumbering houses, anc create a public square. Over the grave of Paul Jones it would erect monument-a symbol of the old friendship of the >Wo republics. h view of the object, the cost would be Insignificant. The Paris authorities have intimated that they will gladly second the project. Long ago they named streets after Washington, Franklin and other American heroes.

C., and be- ing composed of two bold side arches and small central flood arch.
