MINISTER SAVED WEST
SHoPLiFTER WOULD HAVE GOT TEN SIX MONTHS IN JAIL BUT
 FOR INTERCEssIoN.
Escaped With Sixty Days-Thought That Severe Until Told About Inter ference-companion Proved He Was Not implicated in Thefts.

Ben West, one of the men arrested Monday evening for shoplifting at the Copper Queen store, was yesterday given sixty days in jail. He complain ed of the severity of the sentence when passed. and was told by Judge Mcdonald that but for the interces- sion of minister he would have got ten six months.
 West denied strenuously that he had taken anything from the store. Eye witnesses. however, were pro- duced to his thefts. aside from which the stolen goods found in his posses sion at the time of arrest was identi. fed. It was also shown that West had pilfered from wagon and cou- pie stands about town.
 Wm. Smith, the man arrested with West, and supposed to have been an accomplice, got off with an eight-day jail sentence for drunkenness. He was able to show that he had simply fallen into bad company when he got with West, but had not been implicated with him in the thefts committed.

TOM WILLIAMS AT STAKE.

DALLAS, Texas, August 26.-In
the State convention of Negro Bap-
lists. the burning at the stake of Tom

the Rev. Mr.. Jackson said:
There is not law-abiding negro

negroes the culprit would not have
been caught. Every member is EN-.
phatically in favor of mob law in
such cases, and will lend their assist.

the resolution denouncing the burn.

MUNICIPAL FERRY OPENS
New York City's New Line to Slater
Island Begins Operations.
Speeches by Officials, Including the May.
or. Who Accepted the Boats OH
Behalf Of the People.

New York City.--The Inauguration OF
municipal ownership and operation, SO
far as ferry service is concerned. took
place when the ferryboat Manhattan,
with Mayor Mcclellan in her pilot
house, made the trip between the Bat
terry and st. George, Staten Island, in
twenty minutes. The older boats Of
the defunct private ferry line used to
take from half an hour to fifty-hve
minutes to coyer the same journey
when things were favorable. The dis
lance is five and one-half miles.
The Manhattan, on the run down.
had both the tide and wind fayoring,
but with unsuitable conditions return
ing to the Battery, it took her over
twenty-seven minutes to go from slip
to slip, several minutes being lost
through a tow blocking her path off the
Whitehall street terminal.
The opening of the ferry was a huge
success as to actual time saved in
transit. which is the chief claim for
municipal control Of the ferry. From
the time the Manhattan left until she
tied up on the return only one hour and
fifteen minutes elapsed, and included
in this is the time given to three for
NAL speeches by officials at the st.
George landing.
The opening of the new ferry served
as O regular fete day for Staten ISL
anders and every point Of vantage at
st. George was crowded to repletion.
A platform had been erected on the
south side of the new ferry slip Mt St.
George for the speech makers. Dock
Commissioner Featherson was the first
to address the gathering. He said that
the new ferry had drawn the boroughs
closer together than ever before, and
that municipal ownership, the toy with
which %aeitators were accustomed to
play, was a reality.
The Commissioner said that in pro-
portion to the amount of fault finding
with the old ferry, he expected the pub
lie would find pleasure with the new.
The Commissioner then transferred the
ferry to the Mayor, who was the next
speaker.
