UNIONS DID IT? Slump in City Vote Ascribed to Tam many's indifference to Labor

New York, Nov 1O-The unions which have been at loggerheads with the employers, especially the locked out unions in the building trades, now take the credit for the drubbing Tam many received at the polls. There has been growing feeling of antagonism, not only against Charles F. Murphy, but against the district leaders for failing to interfere in the lockout and the subway dispute, although the un- ions urged the leaders to take a hand.
 Charles l.. Eidlitz, president of the Building Trades Employers associa- ton, is member of Tammany Hall; Superintendent of Buildings Isaac A. Hopper, who Is a prominent member of the association, is a member of the and Tammany Hall is well represented in the rank and file of the association. Then too, such Tammany light as John B. Mcdonald is the general con tractor for the subway.
 The labor men say that Charles IF, Murphy could have brought about a settlement of the whole trouble very quickly. The unions also assert that they appealed to MT Murphy to use his influence in getting work for union men on the repairs in the aquarium, where non-union men are employed. but could get no satisfaction.
 About two months ago committee consisting of all the locked out trades called on MT Murphy and asked him to use his influence to bring about set tlement on the subway. He said he would consider the matter" and the unions say they have not heard from him since. J. Murphy, of the Tile x41r~ mfttee said yesterday
 'We have paid our compliments at the polls to Charles F. Murphy for his treatment of his friends in the unions who have stood by him so we'll MT Eidlitz, MT Mcdonald and MT Belmont were dearer to him than the people who were the mainstay of Tammany hall, that is the working people. We don't care a rap for Tammany now. We and our friends felt keenly the snub we got from the Tammany lead CTS and the result of the election shows it.
 James J. Daly, chairman of the committee which went to see Leader Murphy, said that MT Murphy's refus- al to interfere in the Aquarium work had been laid before all the unions. He would not say what action they took and he had his opinion of the in f1uence it had.
 Bernard S. Brown, chairman Of the executive board of the Electrical Workers union 3, said that in the platform of the democratic party there was no mention of the Colorado dis turbances and that Judge Parker was known to have decided against the eight hour law. There was nothing in the Parker platform showing the slightest interest in the labor unions.
 Patrick Grimes, president of the Plasterers' society, said that the prominent part August Belmont had in the democratic party had alienated many thousands of voters.

CAUGHT IN
 QUICKSAND HObOken Resident s Narrow Escape.
Had Sunk Into Ground Up to His Chin When Rescued
 His Screams for Help Brought Passersby to His Assistance.

New York, Nov 1O.-Peter Johnson. resident of Hoboken, has narrowly escaped a living death in a swamp near his home. He had sunk to his chin in the quicksand when rescued.
 Johnson started out in the darkness to investigate fire. Not far from home he walked unwittingly into a place known as the bottomless swamp, where several persons have met death. Before realizing his peril he was caught and continued to sink rapidly. By screaming loudly for help he managed to arouse several persons living nearby and they pro- cured rope. A moose was formed and repeated attempts were made to cast it over the victim. Johnson con- tinued to disappear at a great rate and soon only one arm remained free. A lucky throw by the rescuers finally noosed the upraised arm and after Johnson got the rope around his shoul- deTs he was drawn out. It required the united efforts of six men to do this, however, and they worked nearly an hour.
 Johnson collapsed from fright when he reached dry ground and was taken to a hospital.

SOCIETY WOMAN
 AT THE WASHTUB

Nashua, N. H., Nov 1O--Abbie Ann Day Chandler is suing her mOther-in- law, Caroline A. Chandler, in the Hills boro county court for $4,O00 as com pensation for twenty weeks work as a menial in Mrs Chandler's home, during which time she had to wash, sweep, build fires, make beds and comb the defendants hair, as we'll as to dress and undress her. The high valuation is placed, Ashe says, because her labor was work of love.
 At the time of her marriage with Mrs Chandlers son, Abbie Chandler had fortune estimated at $10O,OOO, owned fine estate at Wilton, and was prominent socially in southern New Hampshirel Her husband entered bus mess in Vermont with varying success His fathertwas the head of the Nashua Street Railway Go. ,
 Two years ago the young couple re- turned to town to live with the wife's brother, Charles H. Day, who then owned and occupied the residence which is now the home of Charles H. Hamblett, United States district attOr- ney. The elder MT Chandler had died soon after the marriage of the young people, and Mrs Chandler had moved to Townsend. She came back and took up her home in a house in the neigh borhood following the return of the young people to this city. Her health failing, she refused to allow any one near her except her daughter-in-law, who moved to that house with her hus- band.
 A divorce suit and counter suit re- suited in legal separation of Abbie and her husband and of Abbie's broth CT and his wife. This was followed by civil procedure by Abbie Chandler for the recovery of diamonds and oth- CT jewels, in which she was success full. She then moved to Worcester.
 Chandler and the former Mrs Day married again and set up housekeep- ing with the elder Mrs Chandler.
 Testimony in the case was begun yesterday afternoon before Judge Pike The court room was crowded with representatives from families so- cially we'll known. Mrs Chandler told graphically her experience with the washtub.

 PLEASED AT TREATMENT
Says People of San Francisco are Very Mountain is Strong Barrier-Japanese Assault 1t Fiercely But Were Repulsed- Russians Had Chance to Now Them Down

St Petersburg, Nov 10, 3:15 p. m.-- Aletter from an officer of the Russian auxiliary cruiser Lena, which arrived at San Francisco September Il ana was detained there under the neutral ity laws, is published here. He ex- presses the highest praise of the cor diality of the San Franciscans towards the officers and men of the vessel.

A COSTLY OBSTACLE.

Chefoo. Nov 10 (noon .-Etse noun, tain, according to Chinese, 120 or whom arrived here to-day from Fort Arthur, is proving a costly obstacle to the Japanese On the mornings Of No yember 5 and 6, fierce assaults on the position were made by the Japanese. who were repulsed. During the sec ond assault a shell soaring over the other hills from Palichuang dropped on Etse mountain and demolished land mine controlling the station, ana exploded other mines.
 The Russians were holding the trenches on the boundary of the mined section. Six or seveh hundred were killed. The Japanese not having reached the place, were unhurt.
 Etse mountain owes the best part or its strength to the peculiar topography of the surrounding country, which pre- vents direct artillery fire and does not enable the Japanese to advance trenches with the success evident else, where.
 The Japanese advanced on 1t in both instances from behind distant hills, with the fullest force the ground would allow. but in the long distances which they were compelled to traverse in the face of machine guns their ranks were melted. Both times the JaDanese broke the wire entangle- ments in places. One soldier Witn leg, torn off was seen trying to bite the wires.

THREE PERSONS DEAD
 IN A NEW YORK FIRE
Thrilling Rescues by Narrow and Crowded Fire Escape Fire Started Among a Lot of Barrels and Boxes Supposed to be of Incendiary Origin-F Bremen Car- ried Out Several Unconscious Persons

New York, Nov 1O.-Three persons were suffocated and burned to death, half dozen others were overcome by smoke and saved only with the great est difficulty by the fremen, and more than 30 others, after thrilling exper- fence on narrow and crowded fire es- cape were taken to the street in their night clothes, in a fire which practl- cally destroyed five-story apartment house on the upper east side early to- day. Of the three victims two were young girls, Blanche and Lillian Euh- Ian, 10 and IS years old, and the other was their grandfather, Frederick Web Der, 69 years old. Webber was help less paralytic, yet under the excitement of the terrible fate threatening him he arose from his bed and made his way to the hall where bis body, burned to crisp was found.
 The fire is believed to have been in- cendiary in its origin. 1t started in a mass of boxes, barrels and broken fur niture which lay piled underneath the stairway leading to the basement. This rubbish is said to be part of a quan- Hty gathered by some of the boys in the house for an election bonfire, but taken away from them by their elders. Most of it was kerosene soaked. Start ing in the basement the flames swept upward through an elevator shaft and before the tenants had been aroused the building was ablaze.
 When the firemen burst in the doors of the burning building they were met by a rush of smoke and were driven back. The stairway from the first to the second floor had then caught fire, and none of the tenants escaped in that way.
 The tenants on the four upper floors, eight families in all, had swarmed out upon the fire escapes. These safety platforms are small and narrow, with no openings in the balconies, and as the panic stricken tenants fought to climb over the rai1ings to reach the ladders many had narrow escapes from falling over into the street. They were all finally taken down in safety, however, with the exception of the three who had been overcome by the flames and smoke on the fifth floor. Several persons living on the lower floors, who had not been able to reach the fire escapes and were overcome by smoke, were found in the burning building by firemen and carried to the street. All of them with the exception of Mrs Paula Luzu, who had aparI- ments on the fourth floor, were quickly resuscitated and suffered little from their experience. The condition of Mrs Luzu was more serious, however, and she was taken to a hospital. The loss on the building was about $5,OOO.
