 YOnISers

New York, Oct. 22.--Five persons are believed to have been drowned to-day by the running down of catboat by a tug off South Yonkers. One body has been recovered.

In a coat aboard the boat they found a list of names which proved to be those of party who had gone sailing in the boat. They were Edward Mason, the owner of the boat, his son, Edward, Benjamin Ben- son, P. Simpson and Carl Thompson, all of South YOnkers. This evening the body of Benson was found not far from the scene of the collision. Noth- ing had been heard of the missing men up to late hour tonight.

SEVEN MEN GO DOWN
 IN DELAWARE RIVER
LAUNCH COLLIDES WITH BARGE AND BUT THREE OCCU-
 PANTS ESCAPE.

Captain of the Former Attempts to
 Cross the Stern of Tug Having the
 Barge in TOw-Hawser Strikes Him
 and Knocks Him OVerbOard-Barge
 Quickly Descends on Smaller Craft
 and Capsixes It-Victims Belonged in
 Philadelphia.
 Beverly, N. J., Oct. 28.-A launch containing ten men all of Philadelphia, coIlided with a barge in the De.aware river off this place late this afternoons resulting in the drowning of seven of the occupants of thet little boat. The other three were rescued by the crew of the tug boat Bristol, which was towing the barge when the accident happened. Those rescued were Cap tain John Winch, the owner of the launch, w. F. Russell and J, Ruther- ford.
 Up to late hour tonight the names of only three of the victims were as certained. They are William Winch son of the owner of the launch. John Ellis and man named Russell.
 The launch was hired by eight of the men, most of whom lived in the north eastern part of Philadelphia. The elder Winch took his son along to as- sist him in running the boat. The day was spent near Croyden, on the Pennsylvania side of the river. The start home was made late in the after noon. Opposite this place the launch met the tug Bristol in command of Captain Mott, which was towing a barge to Bordentown. Whether Cap tain Winch saw the barge is not known, nevertheless, he attempted to cross the tugs stern. Captain Mott hailed him, and tried to prevent him from doing so. Captain Winch was standing at the wheel of the launch as he went around the stern of the tug The hawser of the tug struck him and knocked him overheard. Before the captains son or any other. r.member of the party could take the wheel to steer the launch clear of the barge the lat ter struck the frail craft amidship, capsizing it.
 The launch rolled under the barge and it's occupants went with it, Cap tain Mott put the tug about and went to the rescue. He and his crew threw ropes and life preseryers to the strug- gIing men in the water, but they were only able to save three of them. The rescued men were landed here by the tug and cared for at a hotel. They left for Philadelphia late tonight.
 Captain Mott, assisted by several res idents of Beverly went in search of the bodies and was rewarded by finding three before darkness put an end to the work. The local authorities to- night requested the Philadelphia police to send tug to Beverly to drag for the other bodies, and a police boat was ordered to the scene. She arrived here late tonight. The launch was washed ashore. It was badly wrecked.

 Denies Offering Arnold Bribe-RaiIs
 Against Fates Which Led to Dis-

 Pittsburg, Oct 22.-Edward George Cunliffe, the express robber, in a long interview in a local paper denies that he took the odd one thousand dollars with which he is charged in addition to the $100,OOO package, and states that his object in going to Bridgeport, Conn.,, was to obtain employment on one of the oyster boats of the Bridgeport fleet 8 plan that was frustrated by the fact that the boats were not working on &C., count of some labor trouble.
 He indignantly denies that he fur hlSIGu d bl4uSSpoit WotIldu lLolCJ Io rent flat, saying he spent his time in reading about and listening to com ments on the robbery instead of roy stering around the "Tenderloin" dis trict.
 He shipped the $S0,OOO in suit case to Bristol, he said, in care of the, ex- press company, figuring on that as the most unlikely place the detectives would search, and when questioned as to the 1,OOO still missing he evaded reply by railing against the fates which led to the discovery of the $S0,O
 Cunliffe denounces James Missett, of Bridgeport, who informed the detect ives of his whereabouts, as a sneak, D and said he made preparations to skip immediately after meeting Missett, but was detained by an attack of cramps He vigorously denied offering Detective Arnold $40,000, "or even forty cents," as he put it.
 Eisenman, to whom he entrusted the bundle containing $9,5Oo, also came in for a scoring from Cunliffe, who con cluded by remarking, well, they can't hang me"

CHILD ATTEMPTS SUICIDE.
After auarreIing With Her Father She
 Purchases and Drinks CarboIic Acid.

After Quarreling With Her Father She
 Purchases and Drinks CarboIic Acid.
 What the police claim is the most peculiar case of attempted suicide which has been brought to their atten- tion in many years occurred yesterday afternoon shortly before o'clock, when little Sadie Jacobowsky, after quarrel with her father, went to nearby drug store and purchased a bottle of carbolic acid, which she drank Y
 As near as the police could learn, Sa- die was reprimanded by her father yes- terday afternoon and then immediately purchased the poison, which she drank in front of her home, 76 Lafayette street. After drinking some of the acid she threw the bottle into the street and commenced to cry that her mouth was burned.
 Mrs. Peterson, of 134 Congress- ave- nue, was near by, and, hearing the child's cries, ran to her. As soon as she learned what the child had done she started screaming and this brought Policeman McQueeney to the scene. He hurried the child to the New Haven hospital, where it was found that. al- though her mouth was badly burned she had not swallowed any of the poi son to amount to anything, because as soon as it touched her lips it burned so that she threw the bottle and contents away. The physicians state that the child will be all right again before greats while. She was visited at the hospital by her father immediately aft CT he learned what had happened.
 The hospital authorities claim that, in their opinion, the child drank the poison by mistake, and that it is ridic- ulous to believe that one so young should attempt to take her own life. The police say on the other hand, that she deliberately bought the poison and drank it.

NOT TO ARREST ALL WOMEN
COMMISSIONER M,ADoo COR RECTS 4 FALSE IMPRESSION

Tells Police of New York ssTenderIoino
 That He Expects Them to Take Into
 Custody All Improper Characters
 Mere Fact That Woman IS Alone
 Does Not Justify Her Apprehension--
 Calls on Press and Pulpit to Uphold
 Those Trying to Clean Up District.
 New York Oct. 22.-In order to cor rect an impression that the police of the 'Tenderloin precinct had been in- structed to arrest all uneseorted wo- men found in the streets at night. Police Commissioner McAdoo visited the station house tonight and made a long address to the force. He read the sections of the law on the subject and told the men that he expected them to arrest all improper characters, but that the mere fact of a woman being alone did not justify her arrest and that he would deal severely with any policeman found interfering with a respectable woman. ..,
 The commissioner said in the course of his address: ''No ones rights will be illegally interfered with, but this pdecirlct can and will be made clean There are no difficulties in the way which cannot be overcome with legal methods. This precinct is in the very heart of the commercial and social cap- ital of the western hemisphere, and it is a disgrace to the city, to the cfty's morals and to civilization that such an ulcer spot as this should exist in the very center of it's greatest activities
 We are bound not only to protect our citizens and the vast army of, visi- tors from these eorrupting influences, and unseemly sights. It is for the peo- pie of the city, of New York to say whether or not they want this place cleaned up If the press and pulpit, which talk so much about evil condi- tions here, would uphold the hands of those who are enforcing the law the thing is accomplished" s% qs x &..
 You are combating, great inf1u- ences," the commissioner continued, ':in enforcing these laws; the. owners of the property, who reap large profits from the lease and criminal uses to which it is put; the various business interests which thrive on the prohigacy and prodigality of vice and who are eom- plaining that with them trade is dull. and lastly and more potent than all, these men who have grown rich on crime and vice, to whom it is a legiti- mate industry, whose millions are stained with the blood and tears of wretched women and outcast men, who own the large Maine Law hotel where the woman is first robbed of the price of her infamy and when she is arrested is compelled to pay them for the bond that releases her. Rich and influential, swaggering and clustering, these cap tains of the industry of vice and crime reach out their influences in the most unexpected quarters They do not want a police captain here whom they cannot own, and even now they and their hirelings are threatening political disaster to the honest head of the city government for maintaining in office a police commissioner who is not afraid of them" .>
 The commissioner exhorted the men to be loyal to their commander, Cap tain Dooley, in whom he said he had the fullest confidence. -

FELL FROM EAST ROCK
 WHILE CLIMBING ID TOP
YOUNG MAN PROBABLY FATAL LKINJURED IN ATTElIPT-
 ING FEAT.

Within Fifteen Feet of Top with Com
 pantOn and Could Go No Further
 When Accident Happened-Trac7
 Tried to Dodge Falling Stone and Missed His Footing-Compa Had
 PeriIous Trip Returning--Another
 Companion Lower Down Tried to
 Catch Tracy as He Fell and Lost His
 Balance Causing Him Short Fall.
 Hurled from practically the top of East Rock, bounding on jutting sides of stones. and then finally landing on ledge of rocks near the bottom of tie precipice in crushed and bruised con- dition was the fate which met John Tracey of 70 Prince street when he att temped to climb up the face Of the rock with two companions yesterday noon. The accident occurred when he was within fifteen feet or so of the top, just under the restaurant, with over seyenty-fve feet of ascent nearly perpendicular having already been cov- cred. He is now at Grace hospital in dying condition and it was not ex- pected he would survive the night.
 Tracy with two companions, M. J. Quinn of 16S Dewitt street and Thom- as McKeon of 46 Frank street, went to the foot of the rock at the steepest part yesterday afternoon with the in- tention of climbing up it's face, as this part of the rock is termed. Quinn led the way, Tracy came second and Mc- Keon was last. The ascent was made with great difficulty, but Quinn and Tracy finally came to within fifteen feet or so of the top, and then they found themselves confronted with a perpendicular space on which there seemed to be no possible foothold Tracy was just below Quinn, but Mo- Keon was only a very few feet from the bottom of the steep ascent.
 When Tracy and Quinn found this apparently insurmountable barrier confronting them, it was at this critic- al point that a piece of rock gave way at Quinn's feet, and in lodging 1t Tracy lost his foothold and with a scream fell bounding on jutting rocks in his descent, finally landing on a jut- ing ledge. As he fell past McKeon, hf- ty feet below him, McKeon tried to grab him but failed to do so, and in turn lost his foothold and fell to the ledge, but he escaped without any se- rious injuries except few slight bruises. Tracy, however, lay where he had landed in a badly injured and un- conscious condition.
 During the excitement occasioned by the fall Quinn nearly lost his balance, but succeeded in retaining his foot hold, when he turned to see what was happening to his companion He then immediately tried to descend to assist Tracy He found that it was almost impossible to do so and keep his foot ing, but after many marrow escapes from receiving like fall he reached the ledge some 200 feet above the river and reached Tracy.
 Quinn and MeKeon found that their compannion's condition was critical and after carrying him down to a path,

Stamford Italian Steps in Between QuarreIling Countryraen.

Stamford, Oct 22.--As the result of his attempt to make peace this after- noon between two fighting Italians, John Capella now lies in the Stamford hospital with bullet in his groin, but 1t is probable that he will recover. Giuseppe Berganlo and Peter McBlock were fighting on Canal street over some money matters, when Capeila happened around the corner. CapelIa urged the men to separate, but they didn't hear him, So he thought he would break up the quarrel by stepping in between them. McBlock had just drawn his pistol, evidently to use on Bergamo, when Capella made his final move, and as he tried to pull the men apart the pistol went off end the WelI-meaning Capella dropped. McBlock ran and has not been found, but Bergalno was ar- rested. Capella was taken to the llos- pital and tomorrow an operation for the removal of the bullet will be per- formed.
