OYSTER TONGER SHOT.
Effort to Devise = Plan for . settlement
Of the Oyster war.


FREEPoRT, i. l.. March 2s.-Robert
Morse Of Baldwins was shot early this
morning in mistake for an oyster pirate
by a man employed as a Waterman by one
Of the planters having beds in Hampstead
Bay in the vicinity of Point Lookout. The
shooting occurred a few minutes after sun
rise. Morse was in a rowboat with his
cousin, Louis Morse and a man named
Ernest Carman. They were longing, ac-
cording TO Louis Morse and Carman, on
public ground.
To prevent oyster piracy the owners Of
leased beds maintain watchmen on the
shore 1t is said that the shots at the party
were fired from the watchhouse Of Zophar
Smith Of Freeport. Robert Morse was
rowing The shot struck him in the legs.
Several Of his fingers also were badly torn
by shot which passed through them and
buried themselves in the oars. Morse
was rowed to Baldwins by his companions
and treated by DR.. William J. Steele. His
companions tn n went back to the scene Of
the shooting and tried TO G the Waterman,
but he would not come out Of the cabin.
The men then came here and notified Justice
Wallace. It is believed that the man who
did the shooting must have escaped.
An attempt to devise a plan for the set
Element Of a recurrence of the old time feud
between the oyster planters and the poaohers
along Jamaica Bay was made by State
officials and representatives Of the planters
at the New York Office Of the Forest, Fish
and Game Commission yesterday. The
meeting was held pursuant TO the call Of
Deander B. Faber Of Jamaica, who has
been appointed Special Deputy Attorney
General with instructions TO inquire into
the validity Of State leases to the planters
Particular doubt as to the validity Of the
leases was raised recently by a decision
Of the Appellate Division overrulng a
decision OF Justice Maddox. The Appellate
Court held that the title to the land under
water in Jamaica Bay was not vested in
the State, hut in the old town Of Flatlands
The town, the court rules, holds them both
under colonial patents and legislative
grants.
besides Mr.. Faber there we're present
at the meeting former Judge b. Frank
Wood, who is shell fish commissioner;
w. j. Tillotson OF Canarsie, president Of the
Kings County Oyster Planters Association,
and several planters. The planters oom-
planned bitterly Of the baymen, repre-
sentlng them as removing oysters and
clans In barrel lots from the beds since
had been content with a smaller retail
business. Mr.. Faber told them he would
consult with District Attorney Clarke Of
kngs county before formulating his report,
There is pacific as we'll az a martial
faction among the planters. The peace
ful mon have retained former District
Attorney Jimmie Ridgway, and he has
noouhed the police TO protect the property
OF his clients.

THE TUNNEL ACCIDENT.
Attempt TO Close the Hole IN River Bottom
With Canvas and sand.


The work OF closing the gap in the river
bottom at the foot Of Joralemon street,
Brooklyn, through which Richard Creedan
was shot from the submarine excavation
going forward for the tunnel Of the subway
TO Brooklyn on Monday morning, attracted a
large crowd yesterday.
The contractors have determined 10 try
10 stop up the hole In the river bottom by
sinking n large piece Of canvas over the
hole made by the compressed air that shot
Creedan to the surface and into the air in
a geyserlike waterproof.
The big piece Of canvas, that looked
very small after it was spread out on the
water in the slip at the foot Of the street
was weighted on the corners and along
the sides with sand bags and after il had
been sunk woTkmen began lowering more
sand bags, with which It il expected the
whole surface Of the canvas will eventually
be covered.
Contractor Kerrigan said late in the,after-
noon that he thought il would take all day
tomorrow TO deposit enough bags and
sand on top Of the canvas to make II safe
10 put on the air pressure again In the tun-
mel excavation and fully twenty-four hours
longer TO get the head OF the tunnel clear
that the work might again progress. One
thousand sand bags will be deposited upon
the canvas covering and several hundred
loads Of sand
1T is absolutely untrue that we had too
much pressure on yesterday" said Supt.
Kergan last night. Everything was going
on az usual, and the accident was Of the
sort that Is likely 10 happen at any time
1t may happen again next week There
was nothing remarkable about IL, except
that Creedan came out alive after such an
accident. IL il not unusual 20 have a blow
out, but IL ia unusual for a man 10 be sucked
out through the bottom Of the river and be
alive to tell It.
we had thirteen pounds Of air pressure
on yesterday. The normal pressure of
the earth's surface il fifteen pounds 20
the square inch. The pressure Of thirteen
pounds when the accident happened was
enough to prevent the mud and water from
forcing its way into the tunnel There
happened TO be a weak spot In the river.
The pressure was too much for It, and the
air went through, carrying Creedan along

IN HIS FIRST jon.

Diamond for Mother, Piano for Sis, Real
Estate and n Bank balance for jake
When He Was Caught the Real
Estate Had Gone y and lie Made Good,
Two years ago Jacob Goldstein, aged Il,
got a job as bookkeeper with the Hecker
Luncheon Company. Young as he was he
was graduate Of the De Witt Clinton
High School. He lived at 90 Sheriff street.
Jacobs salary wasn't large, but he began
TO wear fine clothes. One night he came
home smiling and handed his mother a
plush covered box. She opened il and
found a big diamond ring
Mrs. Goldstein was astonished and then
worried. She questioned her SON How
was il that on his small salary he could
buy her such expensive jewelry?
Mother, I'm going 10 tell you a secret, .
said Jacob My boss is a fine man. He
gives me tips on how 10 make money in
Wall Street I've been making money all
along and I've been saving it, I've got
more left, and I'm investing every day
Mrs. Goldstein looked admiringly at the
budding financial genius.
Don't say a word TO Sis said Jacob,
I'm going TO surprise her in day or two
Mrs. Goldstein promised, About two
weeks later piano came for Sis
nice. isn't it?' said jake
Lovely said Sis, but we don't know
where Il came FROM
Its a present from me- said jake.
After that the Goldsteins we're not sur
prised at anything from their Jake. One
day he informed them that he had invested
in property In the Brownsville district, and
was going to build Goldstein family man
sion there. He hourished bank book
showing that he had 81 800 in the Eleventh
Ward Bank.
One night jake didn't come home. A
policeman came to the house and said that
jake had been arrested,
'Aw, somethin' like forgery said the
cop, coldly, in response 10 the fearful in
quiries Of the Goldsteins.
The Hecker Luncheon Company had
called In expert accountants, who had dis
covered that Jake had got away with
some IS 600 Of the company's money. jake
had been arrested on the specific charge
Of forging the name OF one Of the heads
Of the 90 nCern, Edward s. Thomas, son Of
United States Judge Thomas, 10 a check
for $50. Jake owned up. He told about
the 81 800 he had In the bank the Browns
willie real estate investment and the presents
he had given 70 his mother and sister. The
81 800 was turned over 10 the company,
with what was raised by selling the ring
the piano and the real estate. jake was
right when he bought the real estate II
had increased in value. Every cent that
Jake had taken from the company was
returned. Whether there was anything left
over for jake the real estate operator does
not appear.

Sessions yesterday, was not anxious TO see

OF Jan. 20, 1905, which the Government
declined 10 sanction. Subsequently a
treaty was negotiated along the lines Of
the Dillingham; Sanchez agreement and
was submitted 20 the Senate. This ar
rangement was severely criticised in the
Senate and the opposition to some Of It's
provisions was not confined to Demo-
cratic Senators. Mr.. Spooner was one Of it's
most severe critics,
The opposition was 80 general in the
Committee on Foreign Relations that
several amendments were made but even
this did not satisfy the objections Of many
Senators, who made such a determined
fight against ratification that those in
charge Of the treaty were afraid 10 let II
come TO a vote. This treaty Is now pend
ing and will be taken up again when Con-
gress meets in extra session next fall.
II is maintained that although the new
arrangement, the so-oalled modus vipeHdi
does not permit the United States Govern
ment to act as disbursing agent in the pay
ment Of the Dominican Republics foreign
obligations, it puts upon the Government
practically all the responsibility it would
assume under the rejected Dillingham;
Sanchez protocol and the subsequent treaty
now p8nulnRt ana 10 Jndt eAueuI u IN uuIBCI
violation Of the principles laid down by
the Senate.
Mr.. ADDE'S VIEWS CRITICISED.
Considerable comment has been caused
by Acting Secretary Adee's statement
that the action taken to-day Is to maintain
the status quo in Santo Domingo. In
some quarters this is taken TO mean that
the United States Government will prevent
any political change In Santo Domingo
while the temporary arrangement is in
force, thus creating the obligations Of
suzerainty 10 which there was such strenu-
GUS objection in the Senate.
A more serious objection 20 which atten-
ton is called Is that through preventing
action on the treaty, Senators who support
the Administration will be able TO keep the
mOdus vivendi in force indefinitely. It Is
true that no money can be paid to Santo
Domingo's creditors until the pending
treaty has been ratified, but the fact re
mains, il is contanded that the United
States Government will be exercising a
virtual supervision over Dominican finances
without the necessary compliance with the
provisions Of the Constitution as brought
out in the Senate debates.
