the murderer had stayed with it. Con-

to be drawn.
Thus far Darrell read with amused

filed with passengers. The first train, in
charge of Motorman Peter Simmons, had
left the l06th street station and was going
along at the usual speed, when the second
train came along. It's Motorman, John

would get to the l18th street station in time
for him to bring his train to stop at
safe distance, but he misjudged the space,
and when he applied the, brakes there was

TO BETTER LITHOGRAPHIC ART.
Plan Adopted to Develop Only Those Ap.

Plan Adopted to Develop Only Those Ap.
prentices Who Show Ability.
A definite plan, agreed upon last week
to raise the standard OF photographic art in
this country. was drafted and approved
yesterday at a conference between repre-
sentatives Of the Employing photographers
Association East) and Richard Ktchelk,
president Of the photographic Artists, En-
gravers and Designers League. 1t is to DO
put in operation at once.
The principal feature Of the plan, as
stated in THE Sun last week, Is the regula-
ton OF the apprentice system by joint
board Of employers and employees, in order
that no one can become an apprentice unless
he shows not only artistic ability but a
liking for the work The plan has been in
operation for six months in another branch
OF the trade. with good results.
On behalf of the Employing Lithograph-
ers' Association tEast) the following state
ment was made;
in adopting the plan for joint govern
ment Of the apprentice system the unions
and the employing photographers have en-
tered upon new phase of cooperation which
will have a widespread effect on the trade.
The general government of the appren..
tees has as great a bearing on the future OF
photographic art as the education Of children
has on their future career. Some OF the
employers believe the best talent is in Eu-
rope. In dexterity and quickness Of manip-
ulaton this country. however. surpasses
the world. We want to have everything in
keeping with this standard Of comparison,
regulating the government Of apprentices
and selecting only those who are ambitious
TO excel, as we'll as possessing artistic
ability

JEALOUS GIRL SHOT HERSELF.
PISTOL AIMED AT MAN FAILED
THRICE TO GO OFF.
Minnie Stromer Made Scene When She Met
Louis Meyer With Another Woman
Went to His Store TO XIII Him in the
Northumberland with Suicide Instead

Minnie Stromer dressmaker. VINO
lived with her parents at 10 East Eighty
ninth street. saw Louis Meyer, who had
been attentive to her for two years, with
another woman on Friday night. 1ester'
day morning she went to his she store at
1858 Third avenue with a revolver; she
tried to shoot him, but three times the
cartridges missed fire and he fled from
the store. Then she shot herself through
the breast. She was dead when an am
bulance surgeon from the Harlem H os-
pital reached her side.
Miss Stromer was 81 years old and for
two years she and Meyer had been at least
very friendly. Meyer says that their re-
lations we're friendly and nothing more,
but it is known that although there was
no engagement announced, Miss Stromer
was very fond and very jealous of him.
Her jealousy led her to suspect that she
was not receiving all of Meyers attentions,
and when she met him and another young
woman on Friday night, apparently bound
for some amusement resort, she made a
scene. She cried out that Meyer was
untrue to her and he jumped on car and
left her crying on the corner.
Yesterday morning Miss Stromer's parents
noticed that she seemed agitated, and a
little after 8 o'clock she left the house,
saving that she would soon return. She
was dressed in neat white flannel suit.
She went directly to Meyers store. He
met her with outstretched hand, evidently
intending to ask forgiveness or to grant 1t.
Good morning, Minnie he said. Feel
ing better to-day"
I'm going to kill you, Louis she an
swered, thr,isting the revolver at him az
she spoke. She pulled the trigger and there
was snap, but the cartridge missed fire.
The revolver clicked again, but another
cartridge failed to explode. Meyer turned
and ran into the back room OF the store, and
as he did so he heard another click.
Thomas Mickey, clerk in the store, was
in the cellar unpacking shoes.
Help. Toni" yelled Meyer to him. 'She's
trying to kill me-"
Vickey ran up poked his head into the
room where Miss Stromer was, and then
ducked for cover in a hurry as he saw her,
revolver in hand.
Il don't want you; it's Louis in there
want to finish" she said
A moment later there was pistol shot
and Vickey thought that the woman had
m qde good her threat. Meyer, shaking
b.hind the partition, thought she had shot
Vickey. They both ran into the store and
found the woman lying on the floor with a
red spot on her waist over her heart. The
police took her body away.
