NUREMBERG MAY RECOVER.
Sim Unable to Tell How His Powerful
ExnlOsiye Was Set OF.

MOUNT VERNON, N. Y, April IA must
live to complete my invention. l cannot
die now and let my life's work go for naught.
l must strive to live for sciences sake, "
Thus cried Franz Nuremberg, the German
chemist who was nearly blown to pieces
last night in his laboratory in East Chester
while experimenting with q high explosive,
as he lay on his cot in the Mount Vernon
Hospital tonight.
The attending physicians entertain hope
OF his recovery, providing blood poisoning
does not develop. The chemist, although
terribly mangled, has been CONSCIOUS ever
since the accident, but he Ia in too much
agony to tell how the explosion occurred.
II is asserted that the explosive with which
he was experimenting and which is described
as twenty times more powerful than dyna-
mite is composed in part of picric acid and
tannin. The third ingredient is the inven-
tors secret. According to an intimate
friends statement the third ingredient is
on every table at each meal and is said to
be palatable.
Mr.. Wurtenberg has succeeded in inter-
estine j. H Flick, general contractor, and
Capt, Pratt, chief engineer of the New York,
Westchester and Boston Railroad, in his
discovery. Negotiations are under way to
organize a company TO manufacture the
explosive, which, it is said, can be pro-
duced for one-third the cost OF dynamite
or gunootton.. ,,,
Mr.. Wurtenberg is a graduate OF Heidel-
berg University and has been in this country
only q few years. Two years g he is said
to have conducted some very heavy blasting
operations in the Catskills.

THREE SHOTS AT HER HUSBAND
REAL ESTATE MAN WAHLIG HIT
TWICE, BUT WON'T DIE.

Here, Give 1t TO Him, Ma" Said Son OF
Couple, Handing Her the P~istoI-StOry
OF JanitresS Who Saw S~crap-JealOus
and Demanded o. 900, Says Wahlig.
Mrs. Frank H. Wahlig Of 697 East 1s5th
street, the wife OF a real estate dealer, fired
three shots at her husband yesterday morn
ing during a quarrel in front OF his place
Of business, ut 1853 Boston road. Two OF
the shots took effect, but the wounds were
not serious.
Mrs. Wahlig and her son John, IS years
old, are under arrest In the Morrisania
police station. Mrs. Wahlig Is charged
with felonious assault and the boy is held
as a suspicious person." Both Mrs. Wah-
liz and her son refused to talk about the
shooting, but the affair was described to
the police by Wahlig and Mrs. Eleanor
Voekner, the janitress at 1858 Boston road,
next door to Wahlig's office.
Mrs. Voekner said that Mrs, Wahlig and
her son went to the Office about 10 o'clock
and met Mr.. Wahlig just as he was coming
out. Mrs. Wahlig halted her husband
and said:
Come up with that money!
Wahlig tried to explain that he couldn't
give her any money just then, but the
woman wouldn't listen and a violent quarrel
followed, during which, the woman says,
Wahlig struck his wife in the face.
According to the janitress, Mrs Wahlig
| went down under the blow and was helped
to her feet by her son, who at the same time
handed her a revolver, saying:
Here, ma, give it to himl'
Wahlig turned at sight Of the revolver
and ran down the road. He was pursued
by the woman, who overlook him in the
first fifty yards and fired three shots at
close range. The first shot went wild, but
the second went through the back of Wahlig's
right hand and the third took effect in his
right shoulder.
The sting of the wounds only accelerated
Wahlig's pace. He gained rapidly on his
wife and was last seen boarding q south
bound trolley car. Later 1t was learned
that he continued south until he reached
the Hudson street hospital, where his
wounds were dressed.
police about the shooting, and Detective
Little of the Morrisania police station was
sent to look for the woman and her son.
He found both Of them in the street near
their home and placed them under arrest.
Wahlig returned home after his wounds
had been dressed. He told the police that
his wife shot him because she was Jealous
without cause. She accused him Of living
with another woman, he said. and kept close
watch on the money he received through
his business. Yesterday she learned that
he had made S. 900 in a deal and came to
demand the money. He tried to explain
to her, he said, that he couldn't get the
money until some papers were signed, but
she wouldn't listen to reason and the shoot
ing followed.

them. He saw them accost Frank Feira-
bend, a bartender Of i7S Stockholm street.
Feirabend walked along with them. Lar
rigan decided to follow the party without

On April 7 Mrs. Hester Cocozne was shot
in the mouth while she lay in bed at her
home near West Brighton. She accused
her son-in-law Harry Beam, OF doing the
shooting. The police have been looking
for him ever since.
Early yesterday morning as Policeman
Mathies Of the West Brighton station was
trying the door of the post Office at Mari
ner's Harbor he saw Beam standing under
q street lamp some distance away lhey
had met some time before when Beam was
sentenced for highway robbery. Mathies
tried to creep up on him in the dark, but
his brass buttons betrayed him and Beam
took it on the lope. with the cop in pursuit
They had run but a short distance when
the fugitive turned and blazed away at his
pursuer with a revolver. The policeman
wasn't slow in returning the fire, bait, ap-
parently, both we're rusty on target prac-
tioe and neither scored a point, except that
Beam was able thereafter to disappear In
the darkness toward Port Richmond.
Mathies went into a building n tele-
phoned to the station for assistance in
looking for the man. Afterward when he
had walked less than q block away he saw
from what appeared to be a dark spot lying
in the gutter two quick flashes and heard
two pistol reports. At the same time MS
helmet flew of and his left arm cropped
helpless to his side. Then for the second
time Beam disappeared this time for Sood:
where he was found to be suffering from a
flesh wound in the forearm. The hurt Is
not very serious.
The police are still looking for Beam.

COLER MAKES DENIAL.
Never FayOred the Bush Terminal Com
pany as Against the City.

President Bird s. Coler of the Borough
Of Brooklyn yesterday issued this statement
in denial Of the published story that he had
favored the Bush Terminal Company in the
matter Of the refusal of the city to open
certain streets abutting on its property.
Any statement that I connivcd at any land
grab by any corporation is an absolute lie.
Nearly Ave years ago the Bush Terminal
Company had certain streets in South Brook
Ign between First avenue and the high water
line closed by action Of the Board of Public
Improvements and the municipal assembly.
They started to build a factory across Forty
eighth street, one Of these streets, last year.
and when the matter was brought to Borough
President Littleton's attention he asked the
Corporation Counsel. on September /. 1905.
for an opinion as to whether or not the city
had any right to any OF these streets. In
his letter he called the attention of the Cor
poration Counsel to the fact that Corporation
Counsel Rives had in 1902 rendered an opinion
to the Tax Department to the effect that the
land in the streets could not be taxed.
The building OF a brick wall across Forty
fifth and Forty-sixth streets. at Second ave-
nue., is not an invasion Of the city's rights.
as the city had never opened these streets.
The streets referred TO below Thirty-ninth
street are not city streets and have never been
owned by the city. The obstruction in Fiji
tieth street is not by the Bush company. but
by a baseball club. None OF these streets.
except Forty-ninth street, has ever been paved
or ever used. The Corporation Counsels
opinion, given to me on January 80. 1908. is to
the effect that the city has no right in these
streets which the municipal assembly and
the Board Of Public improvements struck
from the map.
II, therefore, anybody will show me q way
In which 1 can reclaim these streets for the
city [ shall only be too glad TO do so, and II
any taxpayer doubts the legality OF what has
been done he can go to court now. as he
could have gone to court at any time within
the last four years. and If the Bush Termina
Company Illegally occupies these streets II Is
easy for him in any court to prove it.
On the other hand. | cannot go to court
as a city official except through the Corpora
ton Counsel, and the Corporation Counse
has already taken the attitude that the city
cannot legally interfere with the construc
ton OF these buildings in these streets. II
this connection [ would say, were 1t not foI
the fact that [ have gone into my own poke
80 many times for the purpose OF SUSTAINING
taxpayers suits. [ would be glad TO finance
such a suit in this instance, [ think tina
there should be a taxpayers fund. however. II
order 10 finance suits in the public interes
when the Corporation Counsel will not act.

ANOTHER WEEK OF RATE DEBATE
Seven Senators Have Already Announced
Their Intention to Speak.

hCi W Spt"N'
WASHINGTON, April I4.-Another week
of railroad rate debate confronts the Sen
ate. Senator Spooner will answer Senator
Bailey's speech Of last Tuesday and will
probably speak on Monday. Senator La
Follette has announced his intention Of
talking to the Senate on Tuesday about
rate legislation. Senator Clarke of Arkan-
sas will make his debut in a speech advo-
eating the passage of the Hepburn bill with
out amendment. Other speakers from the
Democratic side will be Foster OF LOUISE
ana, who stands for a broad court review,
and Frazier of Tennessee. who. like Clarke
of Arkansas, will make his maiden speech
in the Senate, but whose views are not
definitely known. Senator Bacon has asked
for time to make an address, and it is likely
that several other Democratic Senators will
want to b. heard, 80 that Senator Tllman
evidently reckoned poorly when he an.
nounced last week that with three more
speeches from the Democratic side the
minority would rest.
The report on the case of Senator Reed
Smoot will be made to the Senate probably
privileged matter, it would displace the
rate bill which is the order OF unfinished
business in the Senate, but Chairman Bur,
rows OF the Committee on Privileges and
Elections will not seek to take the legisla-
tive right of way from the rate bill. He
said to-day that he would probably ask
to divide time with the rate bill, and when
ever there was a lull in the rate debate
would call up the Smoot case In order to
hasten business and not delay adjournment
Mr.. Burrows denied emphatically a rumor
that the Smoot report was to be used as an
instrument with which to hnbuster against
the rate bill.

PIotters Are In jail.
UTICA April 14.-Steven Craft, a farm
laborer, who was arrested a few days ago
on the charge Of attempting to murder
Hiram Burnside at Maryland, Otsego
county, and who is now in the Herkimer
county Jail, has confessed to a plot to murder
Hiram Burnside and his brother, Byron,
and the latter's son and has implicated
three other men, who were taken into GUS
tody yesterday.
They are Gilbert Crounse and Charles
Newberry, each IS years Of age, and John
Knapp, 50 years old.
Hiram Burnside was shot at near his resi-
dence in the village OF Maryland a few
nights ago, and though peppered with
was at once suspected and placed under
arrest. The first definite clue to Crafts
guilt was gained through the actions OF the
burnside dog, which was shot by Craft as
It fed from the scene OF the attempted muir
der. The dog VA not killed, though its
legs were filed with shot, and when q deputy
took Craft to the Burnside farm the dog
would not allow the prisoner to come near
1t. This embarrassed Craft and brought
about sharp questioning, under which Craft
finally broke down and confessed the details
of his attempt to kill Hiram Burnside.
Craft said that he was fond of Mrs. Enma
Kibee, rs years old. and the mother of
several children, who worked at the Burn
side home, and when he was discharged by
Hiram Burnside. for whom he worked, he
immediately set about planning to murder
him, his brother, Byron, and Byron's son.
Il is alleged that there is evidence to
show that an agreement existed between
Craft and his three accomplices whereby
