THREE LIVES SAVED BY RESCUES
POLICEMAN BATTLES WITH TWO CHILDREN AND SWIFT TIDE
-STEAMER PICKS UP EXHAUSTED FUGITIVE

Believing that he was sane. and that the au-
thorities were keeping him because he could
perform work that could not be trusted to insane
men, Augustus G. Ward, an inmate of the insane
asylum on Wards Island attempted TO escape
yesterday by swimming away on a plank. He
became exhausted. and forced to call for
help from the steamship AIiddletown, of the
Hartford Line The police of the Steamboat
Squad think his case should be investigated
before he is sent back to the asylum.
Fore some time Ward had been working in the
kitchen. and had had considerable freedom.
About $40 a. m. yesterday, clad in shirt. trous
ers and slippers he cut the barbed wire on his
window with meat cleaver, jumped out. and
picking up eight foot plank about foot
wide. ran TO the waters edge and jumped in.
He for about three hundred yards. and
then became exhausted. When he saw a steamer
approaching he waved his hands and shouted.
Those on board evidently did not understand
him, for the boat passed and soon lost to
view. As he was about to give up hope the
Middletown appeared. He told Captain Hills
that he had been out fishing with another man
and that the boat had been capsized. The other
man swan 10 shore and he was left alone in the
water. a plank foated by and he grabbed it 10
support himself. When the Middletown arrived
at Pier No "a East River. Captain Hills turned
Ward over to the Steamboat Squad Ward told
Sergeant McCulloch that he perfectly sane.
and had escaped to try to get home to his
mother. About three years ago he got a place
with Charles Broadway Rouss in the tinware
depa rtment. His health failed, and he became
nervous He was sent to Bellevue Hospital and
he believes that through his brothers wife. who
lives in Washington. he was sent to Ward
Island on March 2 1901 He had written many
times to his mother that he we'll and
wanted to come home but he thought his letters
had been intercepted.
Il hope that somebody will help me, and
want TO tell my story to magistrate" he said.
There are plenty of others the island in
the same predcament that I am, and 1 hope
that my case will awaken the officials to take
some action
Captain Hills said Ward appeared to be per
fectly sane, and added:
IF that man is crazy. then I am"
He was returned 10 the island by the police.
DIR. A. E. Macdonald, superintendent of the
East Hospital Of the Manhattan State Hospital,
Wards Island, said that Ward in a
penitent mood, declaring that he would not try
to escape again, but would wait until he was
regularly discharged.
Ward is just sane enough to know that he
is insane" said DR. Macdonald "and that is
why he told the story that is credited TO him.
He was admitted TO the hospital on March 2,
1901 suffering from melancholia. At first he
was erratic and was considered dangerous. but
he improved under treatment, and finally be-
came so tractable that he placed in the
kitchen, where he had much freedom"

GENEROSITY OF TAMMANY.
1T PROVIDED TO RELIEVE THE BROAD
WAY AND SEVENTH AVENUE RAIL
ROAD OF BIG PAYMENT.

Hugh ]. Grant as Mayor New-York. in 1883,
signed a resolution of the Board of Aldermen
giving the old Broadway and Seventh Avenue
Railroad Company exclusive occupancy of Broad
way on a payment OF S150.OOO year If an
other railroad allowed TO operate in. over
under Broadway. then this payment OF
S150OOO a year was to cease Now, twelve
and a half years later. the city is about to
give a company permission to build tunnel
under Broadway from the Postoffice to the Bat
terry. Just what the effect of this will be was
put into few words yesterday by Controller
Grout, who said:
AS soon as the Brooklyn tunnel is begun,
especially on the Broadway section on the
proposed line up Broadway from Union Square
of Si50OOO annually This has just been
brought to my attention. The Interurban Rail-
way. lessee OF the Metropolitan Railway, VIII

ordinance allowing the old broadway and sew

that this payment TO be made as long as

second-st.. the railway company can immedi-
ately stop this payment, as the ordnance so
provides.
When the attention of President Vreeland of
the Metropolitan system, called to the old
grant yesterday he said that he knew all about
il. and that if a railroad were built under
Broadway his company would expect to escape
the payment of the annual rental of $150,0O0.
The generosity of Mayor Grant in the good
old Tammany times better be understood
when it is stated that S150O00 year is equiva-
lent TO an interest payment on S4.2S5.714. That
sum represents what the city will lose by it's
inability to collect the old rental from the Metro
politan people.
1t is fully expected that the Rapid Transit
Commission. at its meeting this afternoon will
vote TO give the contract for the building of the
Brooklyn tunnel extension to the Rapid Tran

Paris. July 23-The resentment against the
closing OF the schools kept by the religious
cieties gains ground in Paris. where the Ma
tionalists are making capital Of the situation TO
agitate against the republic. The prevailing
opinion is that NJ. Combes Ill advised in en-
forcing drasticaly by the military and by the
police what after all is merely his own inter-
probation of the ambiguousy worded law. with
out having previously obtained the judgment OF
the Tribunal or the Court OF Cessation making
clear what it's real meaning is.
It win he remembered that Premier WaldeCk-
Rousseau positively declared that the law OF
associations did not apply to primary schools
maintained by the religious societies. and, more
over. these schools have been placed in posi-
tion which makes II impossible for them TO COM
ply with the law. because they were not in
formed Of the necessity OF demanding authorize
tion until after the expiration of the period in
which such demand could be made. Besides
this the lay government schools are not large
or numerous enough to accommodate thousands
OF pupils who are now deprived OF primary in
structIon by the closing of the religious schools
and primary education throughout France is
obligatory.
Public feeling on these points is so general
that even such a stanch Republican organ as
the Temps" which so steadfastly supported
the Waldeck- Rousseau Cabinet through thick
and thin in to-day's issue criticises NJ. Combes
for having gone too far and thereby giving 10
the Nationalists an opportunity for agitation.
The opinion here is that the schools now closed
will be allowed to make applications for author
ization and in the autumn will all be in opera
ton so that all the excitement OF yesterday and
to-day can have no political effect in one way or
the other. I. l. %
