down the corridor 1t had been discovered
that the little plan. besides Furnishing Sena-

decided that Manhattanville should be
divided between the districts nov repre-
sented by Senator Page and Senator Sax
This will leave both districts with q Repub-
loan margin in normal times OF o 2 500.
1t was agreed that the districts should
be so mapped out that those now represented
by Senators Page, Elsberg n SAKE should
be made secure, and that a downtown dis

Chairman Parsons was not invited to
the meeting. Twenty-three Of the thirty
five districts in the county were represented.
Because Of this alpin g~leefully announced

JoHNsTowN, Pa, April le.-Three men
are dead and a dozen are wounded as
the result Of a wild riot at Windber this
evening. The dead are Paul Zills, leader
Of the rioters, and two other foreigners,
names unknown.
The wounded are Eugene Delaney, chief
engineer Of the Berwind-White Mining

Wagner, craftsman. kicked and beaten,
badly hurt; Charles Kester, IL years old,
shot in abdomen, will die; three or four
foreigners, shot but carried away by
rioters; Charles Stizak, shot in the leg.
The trouble started this afternoon about
8 o'clock when Deputy Sheriff w. M. NC
Mullen went to the mass meeting held by
the miners in the woods on the edge Of the
town.
The miners, angry at the collapse OF the
strike, turned on him in a body and he was
forced to fee for his life.
He took refuge in the house Of Council
man Charles Davies and the mob, number-
ing 1000 men, wrecked the house inside
and out, seriously injuring McMullen and
driving everybody from the premises.
Other deputy sheriffs were summoned
and in a short time they managed to arrest
twenty Of the rioters.
They took them to the lookup and 1t was
then the real trouble began.
A crowd Of foreigners, headed by a
Ellis, came to the centre Of the town and pre-
pared to rescue the prisoners. The deputies
hurried to the prison and surrounded 1t,
trying to keep the mob from the building,
The fremen we're also called out and
every effort was made to stop the trouble, but
the foreigners, iniamed by liquor. refused
to be pacifed. They hurled all sorts of
missiles at the officers and the building,
and urged on by Ellis made an effort to
storm the lookup.
The deputies tried to keep the men back
with bayonets, but 1t Was no use, and they
opened fire on the mob. In the meantime
the mob had begun using knives and pistols,
and Delaney and Wagner were injured.
The deputies fred only one volley and the
mob fed in dismay, leaving three men dead
on the streets before the prison.

mobilize the State constabulary. At this
hour, 10 o clock, the town is comparatively
quiet. The deputies are guarding the
streets and are hating all who have not
good reasons for being out.
Fears are expressed that the foreigners
will make another effort to rescue their
fellows, using dynamite to open the way to
the prisoners.

FEDERAL OFFICERS INDICTED.
Postmaster and Collector OF the Port OF
Bunalo Charged With Larceny.

Bunale Charged With Larceny.
BUFFALO, April ie.-As was forecasted in
these dispatches ON Saturday morning, a
Supreme Court grand jury here to-day
reported indictments agai INST Fred Greiner,
postmaster Of Buffalo, Fred o. Murray,
recently appointed collector of the port,
and three former supervisors. These in
dictments grow out Of the bribery n
stealing uncovered in the sale Of an aban-
doned cemetery to the county in 1901 as
a site for the Sixty-ffth Regiment Armory.
Greiner was attorney for the company
that owned the cemetery n he secured
S5i, 600 award to the company, though it
owned nothing but the d~ilapidated fence
about the property. 1t didn't even W
the walks, the lots running to the centre
of the walks. Greiner got half OF tha for
his fee.
The indictment against him charged
him with paying large sums OF money to
the then Supervisors as brides to pass the
deal. There are three indictments against
him. One Of the indicted Supervisors told
the Grand Jury that Greiner had distributed
IS 900 at one time in the board. Greiner
pleaded not guilty and was held in $40, 900
bail.
Frederick O.. Murray was arraigned on
seven indictments charging grand larceny.
He was at the time of the deal County
Treasurer. In fact, he was County Treas
urer until recently, when his friend Greiner,
with the aid Of Z, H. Butler, persuaded
the President to gust Henry Brendel as
Collector Of the Port to make place for
Murray. The indictments charge him with
stealing about $40 900 in the cemetery deal
| between June and December, 1901. He
was released on $40 900 bail, Two other
| Supervisors and the former County Auditor
have already been indicted in connection
| with the same scandal.
The work Of the grafters defied all in
~vestigation, although open charges were
made in the papers until the present County
| Auditor, Charles F. Sturm, succeeded John
| Nef. A manager Of a cemetery who had
been held up by the Supervisors was in
dicted and convicted. Sentence was post
poned and he went before the Grand jury
| and the avalanche followed, The Supreme
| Court jury has been discharged, but a
county court Grand Jury was to-day sworn
in and will continue the investigation Of
the deals of 1901. 1t Is expected that
scandals in connection with the building
| of the armory, which has been most ex-
p~ensive, will be uncovered.

Leaves the white House.
WASHINGTON, April 1e,-President Roose-
welt has made known to some of those
with whom he has talked recently that
his ambition is to represent the State Of
New York in the United States Senate
after he leayes the White House in 1909.
There is not the slightest doubt in the minds
OF the Presidents closest friends that he
intends TO adhere strictly to his announce
ment on election night in November, 1904,
that under no circumstances would he serve
another term in his present office. and in
speaking Of his future Mr.. Roosevelt has
taken 1t for granted that his listeners fully
understood that he would not again be q
candidate for the Presidency. 1t lie as
sumed from what Mr.. Roosevelt has said
that he much prefers remaining in public
life than becoming president Of Harvard
University.
Both the present Senators from New
York are more than 10 years old, and 1t Is
generally understood that neither will
stand for reelection. MIR. Plat will cease
to be a Senator on the Same day that Mr..
Roosevelt will cease to be President, March
4. 1909. while Mr.. Depew's term will expire
on March 4, 1911. II he were elected to
succeed Mr.. Plat Mr.. Roosevelt would
be sworn in as a Senator, IL he 80 desired,
on the day Of his retirement from the Presi-
dency.
Upon his accession to the Presidency,
In 1901, Mr.. Roosevelt was the youngest
man who had ever occupied that Office.
II he lives until the expiration Of his present
term he will be only so years old. He will
then be nearly t~hirty.five years younger

GAVE HIS LIFE FOR BROTHER.
Brave Boy OF Thirteen Drowned In the
Bronx in Sight OF Holiday Crowd. -


Exhausted by his efforts to rave his
brother John, ii years old, Philip Kari, Is,
Of 1S4o Park avenue was drowned in the
Bronx River yesterday afternoon before
the eyes of a large crowd Of holiday makers.
Philip and John had rented a rowboat
from Capt. Rosenfeld's boathouse, at the
foot of Samuel street. They were but a
little way out in the stream when John
got up to take his coat of, lost his balance
and fell overheard. Philip, knowing that
his brother could not swim, shouted for
help and plunged In after him. He got a
firm hold on the younger lad, but was I'M
able to make the bank, owing to the swift
current, which swept him toward the fells,
some 800 feet below.
Capt. Rosenfeld heard the boys cries
and, pushing through the crowd on the
rivers edge, swan to the rescue. As he
came up Philip said:
Take John. He amt swim. I'll be all
right
Capt. Rosenfeld turned for the shore with
the unconscious boy and gained it after a
hard fight. Meanwhile Philip, exhausted
by his efforts, was making little Roadway
against the current.
The crowd on the shore shouted franti-
cally, but no one had the courage to do any
thing else until Police Captain DAILY of the
Bronx Park station arrived. He took in the
situation at a glance and plunged in. Philips
head had been sinking lower and lower,
and as the captain took the header of the
bank he ven down, Capt. Daily dived
several times but could find no trace Of the
boy. Later the river was dragged, but at a
late hour the body had not been recovered.
John Karl was revived and hurried to the
Fordham Hospital, where he lapsed again
into Inconsistencies. His condition is said
to be critical.
