MANY FALL In RIVER.
Gangploak Gices Way at Public
Bath-BOy DrO1cn8, 1t Is Sad.

Public Bath No l. at West Thirty ffth-st.
and the Hudson River, was opened yesterday
According to an eyewitness the opening was
attended with at least one fatality by drowning
Yet apparently the police know nothing about
any fatality nor do the bath attendants.
The story first came to light at Police Head
quarters. The witness, a boy, told OF having
gone to the bath to swim in the afternoon. He
said that while he was waiting his turn to get
TO the bath he noticed that the gangplank
leading from the pier to the bath was crowded
with many boys and men as 1T could mold
No policeman was to be seen.
Suddenly as he watched. the boy said, the
gangplank gave way and all the men and boys
were thrown into the river. Some could swim,
some could not. Most OF them managed TO
scramble out some being assisted by the bath
attendants. But, the boy said, he saw one lad
drown, and later met boy whose brother was
missing, and heard of third case.
When this story was told at Police Headquar
ters inquiry was at made at the Telegraph
Bureau If such a fatality had been reported
The reply was in the negative. Then the west
Thirty-seventh- st. station was communicated
with and slip was received which read as
follows:
''3:15 Platform leading from bathhouse. foot
West Thirty-ffth-st., collapsed while crowded
river, but were rescued by Bath Attendants Jo-
seph Allen, William Simms and Abraham Sill
herman. The names of the children are I'M
known
Acting on this slip inquiry was then made at
the West Thirty seventh-st. station. The SER
geant who had been on duty in the afternoon
was away and the sergeant then on duty only
knew what the slip said. Asked as to why it
had not been reported TO Police Headquarters
earlier. he replied that he supposed the slip TO
be of little consequence
At the bathhouse Joseph Allen, one of the
attendants. said that there had been some such
accident as reported. but that no one fell into
the river. He said that half dozen boys fell
from the gangplank to raft which was be-
low it, and were taken off by him and the other
attendants. He had not heard of any one being
drowned. he said, and the worst that happened
to the boys who fell was that they wet their
feet

JEROME ANGRY At ODELL.
Not Consulted about Proposed
PdrdOning of Weller.

The declaration that the Governor had said he
would pardon Frank S. Weller. Of Brooklyn who
vas convicted OF grand larceny in the first degree
last week for sharing III the Horseshoe Mining
Company swindle and sentenced TO a year in prison
has aroused District Attorney Jerome. Weller S
father and Governor Oders father were once In
business in Newburg Assistant District Attorney
Train who prosecuted Weller, at the Governors re-
quest meet him in Buffalo to-day.
EX-Judge Brown and H. ". Harden called on
Mr.. Jerome yesterday and asked whether, II Weller
pardoned. he would proceed against Weller on
other indictments found against him.
i told them" said Mr. jerome, that If l was
consulted the regular way about the pardon,
and if the j5Idee who sentenced him was consulted
ly the Governor. has been the custom for many
don but if Governor Odell pardons Weller without
consulting l Will put the man on trial again
and will work Up many cases against MIN as
can until l make the Governor sick of granting
pardons. Mr.. Train has been informed by MI.
Ora ham. the Governors secretary, that Mr. Odell
wants him / Will wait to see what comes OF
the interview.
1t seems very strange that Governor Odell has
declared that he viii not pardon Miller. His case
and that OF Weller almost identical. Yet Miller
got ten years and Weller only year.
Assistant District Attorney Mott, VINO has been
endeavoring to get the pardon for Miller. said:
Miller has rendered the State service and
should he pardoned He has made assignments OF
over $4,000 to poor people since he has been in
prison and il was not necessary for him 10 do So

FOR OPERATION By CITY
McCaWsA Staten Island Ferry Plan
Supported.

The Sinking Fund Commission yesterday took
action which showed that ii favored city own
ership and operation of the Staten Island ferry.
After the reading of a report by Mayor Low
and Dock Commissioner Hawkes., advising city
ownership of terminals and boats, and the let
ting of the operation. a plan Endorsed by the
Staten Island Chamber of Commerce, and
resolution asking for the form of franchise
Alderman Mccall. addressing the Mayor, said:
Il am opposed to this part of the resolution
that makes it possible to lease this ferry after
it is built and equipped by the city. I think the
time is now ripe for a municipal ownership Of
such a ferry. I am not personally acquainted
with your Dock Commissioner, but from what
l have heard of him. he is an absolutely honest
and capable man, who could manage and oper-
ate such a ferry. There has been much talk
about municipal ownership for some time, with
results. Now here is a splendid chance to
give it trial, and I am certain it will prove
such a success that before twenty-five years
there will be granting of franchises to
railroads and other corporations that the city
can afford to itself"
The resolution was amended directing Com
missioner Hawkes. to submit, in addition TO the
form of lease and details of cost of construction
and equipment. plan for municipal ownership
of the ferry and what it would cost the city to
operate such a ferry.
Alderman Mccall tried to get the commission
to declare at for municipal ownership and
operation of the ferry.
The joint report of the Mayor and Commits
sioner Hawkes. was adopted amid enthusiastic
applause from delegation of Staten Islanders
President Cromwell of Richmond Borough on
behalf of the people of Staten Island, thanked
the Mayor and the commission for the action
they had taken.
Apparently the CITY will have no difficulty I'm
obtaining the terminals While the law under
which the city is acting permits it to get their
condemnation, it is likely that price will be
agreed on with the present operators. In fact
a price was set some time ago. The lease under
which the present ferry is operated expires
within year
