He TOLD. THE YOUNG SENATOR
MORE GOOD MIGHT RESULT
FROM AGREEMENT THAN CON
TINUAL DIFFERENCE.

Tuesday at Trenton that may be of con-
siderable benefit to the Republican party
ip the Legislature during the coming see-
sion By reason of it making known to
Mr.. Colby the fact that the State exec
utive and the general administration and
its friends are not so widely separated
from the Colby and Fagan representa-
tives as the, latter have been beheyipgs
81 was stated also that as. asresult of
the talk there might be held within a
short time a conference between the.
Governor and some of the Colby Pagan
section Of the Republican party. at
which there will be a move made TO get
or more friendly footing. ~
The talk between the executive and
Senator-eleet took place IN the Cover
nor's private office, when Mr., Colby
happened to go there on some matter or
other. It was said that the Governor,
after the transaction of, the immediate
business that carried Mr.. Colby to the
office. gave some advice to the Senator
elect. and let him know. that supposed
differences of opinion on important leg
islative matters that are to come. up at
the next session of the Legislature had
little existence i'm fact. fs ssses,.
.Accordingstq the report the Governor
todd Mr. Colby that there was no need
for the latter to stay away from his
once On account Of the hypothetical diff
ferences over party matters and that
considerable gqod might haze been, and
might stin be- aceomplished il the Colby
ties were willing at least to talk over
matters instsad {; Of essranging them
selves completely by never consulting
with the other ,elements Of the party
g|1t was said that Mr.. Cclby was con-
siderahly surprised when the Governor
broached what he considered pertinent
subjects of the day, and found they were
not very far apart on pending important
matters.
The Governor, according to the report,
expressed a, Willingness to have Mr. Col
by bring a party Of the more conserya-
tive Essex and Hudson men to the eapi-
tai before the opening of the session, SO
that various subjects could be talked over
in time to bring about harmony during
the session
. 1t is not known whether the action Of
the Essex, and Hudson members of the
House, in leaving the Republican caucus
yesterday was discussed, The talk, it
is believed, will remove considerable
rancor.

The Committee of Health Comnis-
sioners appointed TO investigate the

the Hospital last night. Some of the de-
velopments were sensational
Warden Robert McAndrews and a
number of the hospital attaches were ex-
amined. The Warden admitted that he
had not kept proper record of the go-
ing and coming Of all the attaches.
One of the developments Of the War
denis examination was the admission of
an attempt on the part Of Stableman
Daniel Delaney to sell an old ambulance
and thar Dslanty was not discharged
until the next day. though he was unit
for duty. When asked why he made no
report to the Board he said be reported
the matter to one of the members of the
Hospital COMMITTEES. The Warden said
that on the right of December 6 he was
surprised to find the ambulance hooked
on to wagon which was attached to .
team of horses standing in the street.

casion to. believe that NortsR was sleep
ing on the premises. He said he had
gone to the room where Sorten usually
slept and found the door locked and that
there was no response to repeated knock
ings at the door.
Another admission made bT the War
den was to the effect that be had signed
claims for goods purchased before de-
ivsred. One Of these was for a claim of
s3ss 80. He said he did it merely to hrA
tie the bin along. He admitted that it
was irregular and gave no further ex-
cuse than that cited.
Other charges were taken up and ex-
amined thoroughly. They relate princi-
pally to the treatment Of patients. That

ton street, wife OF Tailor Samuel
Frankel, was arraigned before Police
Justice Higgins in the First Criminal
Court this morning accused of assault
ing her ffteen-year-old daughter, Esther.
with carving knife on Tuesday even
ing. There was desperate struggle
between Mrs. Frankef and her daughter
for possession of the knife. The daugh-
ter was stabbed in the face and knocked
down, but managed TO elude the infuriat-
ed mother, Her screams attracted great
crowd Some one telephoned for the po-
lice. Police Sergeant Duffy and the re-
serves were soon on the scene. Before
they appeared Mrs. Frankel has made
her appearance on the street, with her
face bleeding. She said she had been
beaten by her husband and daughter.
Mr. Frankel who says he was in bis
tailor shop diagonally across the way,
when his wife attacked his daughter, de-
clares his belief that his wife scratched
her own hands. His daughter, fearing
her mothers return, had locked the
doors.
Meanwhile Tailor Frankel, attracted
by the crowd and noise, according to his
version. ran to his home. Sergeant Duffy
told Frankel that he was under arrest
and that he intended also to arrest his
daugher, Esther. Frankel had keys to
his apartments, unlocked the doors and
led the sergeant up stairs, so he says
His wife followed. When she was told
she would have to so to. the police sta
ton she begged to be allowed to dress.
She remained in the room too long to
SUIT the sergeant, and when he called
and received no answer the door was
forced
I Mrs. Frankel had disappeared No
trace of her could be found. The SCI
geant and reserves made diligent inquir-
les among neighbors and found that a
woman had been seen to jump from the
roof and scale one or more fences and
knock down several other fences. When
Mrs Frankel jumped from the roof sof
the house in which she lived she struck
several electric light wires that broke
her fall and landed her in cellar way;
nearly forty feet from where she had
fallen. There were no stairs to the cell
lar way and she got plank and climbed
up on it and then made her escape t.
York Street by scaling and knocking
down fences. She was not found until
yesterday morning. She was then walk
ing along Henderson Street. Where she
had hidden is not known.
When she was arraigned in tie First
Criminal Court this morning Police JUS
tice Higgins laid the case over until TO-
morrow morning.
Mr.. Frankel refuses to say he believes
his wife is insane. He says she has
been ailing for some time and has threat
ened at times to kill the whole famil$
There are Eve children. Mr.. Frankei
says he found it necessary recently to
take Esther. whom the mother assault
ed. from school in order to run the
house.

wrenching the rudder from It's bearings.
There was an awful race by the en-

off steam. The junk vanished into the
wilderness of noise and tumbling seas

seconds ago, replcte with magnificent
energy, struggled like II wounded levia-

She swung around as If In wrath to
pursue the puny assailant which had
dealt her this mortal stroke. No longer

Of the usual accessories, Christmas on
board IL man-of-WAr is not essentially
different from the holiday of the land

and especially those in tropic seas,
that Jacky has to exercise his we'll

be washed out i'll honor of the day. The
plea is usually effective.
The distribution of Christmas mail.
following the athletic programme.
takes the place of the distribution of
gifts at home. The farther from
Goods country" the ship happens to
be the greater the interest in this cerc-
mony. Much of the mail may have
been posted by dear ones at home
many weeks before Christmas, but the
letters and packages bear the inscrip
ton, Not to be opened before Christ
mas and the officers see that the in
junction is not disregarded. Often the
seals Of sacks known to contain Christ
mas mail are not broken until the time
comes for its distribution, that the re-
cipient may derive the greater pleasure
from their treasures by enjoying them
IN common.
The officers have their dinner in the
evening. The day has very likely been
a lonesome one in the wardroom, for
if the ship is on Il home station all the
officers who can get away and who
have families spend the day ashore.
At night, however, they return, bring
ing their 'SWcethearts and wives" with
them. The naval regulations, ordi
narily ignoring the very existence of
women, permits them to dine aboard
ship on Christmas day, and few ''navy
women fail to take advantage of such
privilege. a good part Of every Off
GERS December pay is exhausted in
the interests Of Yuletide cheer and no
guest has ever hesitated to pronounce
the vardroom's Christmas banquet All
unqualified success. STILL it sometimes
happens that the enlisted men have
a better dinner than their superiOrS,
for the able seaman is an early bird,
and where supplies are limited he may
corner the market before his officers
know what has happened. The crew
Of 4 man-of-war on the Asatic sta
ton some years ago bought up all the
turkeys in Hongkong and Canton and
the officers Of the ship would have been
put to it to find substitute had not
the sailors taken pity on them and
given up some of their spoils.
The days celebration ends with a
concert by the ships band or a min
strel show, with sailors and marines
In burnt cork performing all manner
Of ''Stunts' and cracking many an eX
cellent joke at the expense of the Off
GERS, who always take the jests in
good part. International complications
furnish plenty of themes for clever
witticisnrs and sketches, in which the
men often show much dramatic ahil.
