ing with clamoring creditors on board.
Shortly before the yacht sailed Sergeant

of the vessel for a claim OF $500 for ice.
Capt. Collins paid this bill and then started

the Butler grocery stores was present with
a bill for $500. Capt. Collins would not
pay, and the creditors tried to enlist the aid
of Conlon, but he had no authority from

getting a pilot and starting for the sea.
When the boat was in New York waters
the creditors saw that their efforts were
useless and went ashore in a small boat.

Because he had been ordered to pack

sisted In making a statement.
Soon after 0 o'clock yesterday morning.
while Thaler was seated In chair IN the
kitchen of his home, with his two year-old
daughter. Alice, playing at his feet, Howard.
whom Thaler supposed to be at work IN
Manhattan, entered and said to him.
Joe, stand up. Your last day on earth
has come. Prepare to meet your doom

jumped TO his feet The next moment he
lay on the floor with bullet in his lett
