her son was behind prison bars, Mrs.
Elizabeth Martin died of a broken
heart Tuesday afternoon. She had
been perfectly well until the youth was
arrested for interfering with laborers
who were dressing telephone poles. 1t

knew that il would mean another term
in an insane asylum for her only son.
She was prostrated and gradually sank,
though no organic weakness could be
discovered.
Edward Martin has been subject all
his life to epileptic fits and other dis
orders. He was discharged from the
asylum because he seemed harmless.

Chairman Of Street Committee Gave Permit to Move
Building at 86 Smith Street-His Honor Says
He Cares Nothing for Permits and Mr..
Stacey Asks if Mayor is Whole Thing.
WILL FIGHT 1T ALONE.
Mr.. Stacey Refused to Discuss the Matter
With News Reporter this Morning but
Said He Would See About Condition of
Affairs-He Told Mr.. Redhing Not to
Talk.

Mayor Seaman has taken astand
against blocking the streets with
houses being moved to different parts
of the city. The old house at So
Smith street. which was recently pur-
chased by H. Shragowitz, is to be
moved to South First street and this
morning the contractor, Thomas Red
hing started to take the structure
across the sidewalk. When the Mayor
saw the condition of affairs he in
structed Chief Police Burke to have
the work stopped and the building
put back where 1t was.
The chief told the foreman in
charge, Bert Redhing, who, according
to the chief, had permit from Aluer-
man William Stacey the chairman of
the street committee, to move the
building. The chief ordered the work
stopped and the laborers were called
off. The house, at present, stands
half wav across the sidewalk
When Thomas Redhing was seen by
q News reporter he said as he had a
written permit to move the house
he was going right on with it ,as it
was necessary for him to get it across
the sidewalk and near the trolley
tracks, 80 that when the cars stoppt d
running at IL O'Clock tonight he
would be able to cross the tracks in
short order.
Mayor Seaman, wh en- seen, said he
did not care how many permits the
contractor had, he had no business
to block the sidewalk and that he
must get the house off he sidewalk or
be sub ject to fine.
When Alderman Stacey was asked
about tho permit, he said:
~ have nothing whatever to say
about the matter. If the Mayor is
the whole thing, we will see about
it,
When asked if tn @ permit which he
had given Mr.. Rodhing did not hold
good, he replied: 81 told you had
nothing to say. If I did not think il
was all right 1 would not have issued
it,
Mr.. Redhing, who was present
offered to give something for pablica.
tion, bnt he was stopped by Mr..
Stacey, who said to him: "You keer
still, I'll fight this out alone, we'll
see."
