fought against it.
To-day the conference felt that the ques-
ton should be faced and decided. After
considerable sparring on both sides the
case was put to a vote and the fremont

The cards contained a notice calling the
attention of the Washington public to q

The cards were removed from the mails
for the reason that they were not of the

the removal Of the postal cards from the

and insisted that if the city had money to
spend on parks that money should be given
to opening up breathing spaces in the down
town congested districts.
Mr.. Philbin said that il the real purpose
of the proposed park was to mark the site
of the battle of Washington Heights the
promoters Of the scheme were away out
of their proper environment. because the
battle was not fought on the spot named
but on ground nea rer the Harlem River.
Gen. Porter said; The tomb of Gen.

SHOT WIFE; KILLED HIMSELF.
Forster Had Forced Her to Marry Him
hN Threats.

Walter Forster, an upholsterer, Is years
old. of 1870 Saratoga avenue, Brooklyn, went
to the home of his ather-in-law DR.. Geo rye
+. Kern, a veterinary surgeon, at ?07
Eldert street, williamsburg, yesterday, and
after shooting his wife, Margaret, 10 years
old, he shot himself. Forster first met
his wife last June and asked her to keep
company with him. She told her mother
about it and was advised not to have any
thing TO do with him.
Forster contrived to meet the girl, and
after he had known her about six weeks
he asked her to marry him, The girl re-
fused, and after that Forster, it was alleged,
became threatening in his attitude, and
in August. under threats that he would kill
her unless she married him, she accom-
panied him to a minister's house. where
they were married.
1t was alleged that soon after they had
settled down to housekeeping Forster
began to i'll treat his wife, and about two
months ago they separated. She re-
turned to her parents and had him brought
to court for not supporting her,
Forster called at his father-in- la VS.
house Yesterday to become ~reconciled to
his wife and to persuade her to withdraw
the court proceedings. Mrs. Forster was
willing To accept her husbands proposition
il he would promise to provide for her and
not let her remain a burden oil her parents.
At this point Forster surprised his wife
by asking her if she would give him a kiss
Mrs. Forster asked him what he meant.
Forster quickly replied:
We'll, | mean just this: ] ain going to
end il right here; we are both going to die
together
Quick as a flash the young husband drew
a revolver and fired at his wife as she sat
paralyzed before him. Mrs, Forster had
thrown up her right arm to protect her
face. The bullet passed through the arm,
struck her chin and was DETECTED to "a chair.
The girl ran screaming toward the kitchen
and u moment later there was another
shot. This shot Forster had sent into his
right temple and he fell to the floor.
just after Forster had been removed in
an ambulance to the German Hospital his
father-in-Iaw appeared. He had received a
telephone message in his business Office at
II Powers street half AN hour before that
his presence was urgently required at his
home. When he received this message
he was ~nonplussed because he was unable to
learn who the person was at the other end
of the wire. II then dawned upon him that
he had received Il similar message the night
before, and when he reached his home he
discovered that there was nothing amiss.
When he received yesterdays message
he had a presentiment that something had
happened and he fastened home.
Forster died last night.

BALLOT BON OPENED.
Votes In Brooklyn Assembly Contest
Looked over by Assembly men.

The Assembly Committee on Privileges
and Elections when it resumed its hearing
yesterday on the contest made by Thad-
deus B. Hyatt, the defeated Municipal
Ownership candidate for Assembly from
the Seventh districtof Kings against Michael
}. Grady Dem announced that it decided
to permit the opening of the ballot box
OF the Fifty-fifth election district of the
Seventh Assembly district and the scrutiny
OF all the votes.
The examination Of the ballots was made
in executive session. Chairman Grattan
of the committee said afterward that no
information would be made public as to
the results of the inspection Of the ballots
and that the committee would not even
report to the Assembly the particulars of
what was found in the box. The committee,
he said, would merely Use the information
it obtained from the box al assistance in
reaching it's decision on the contest.
Some of those interested in the recount
were curious to know if the votes cast for
the Mayor in the district had been looked
at, but MIR. Grattan lodged such questions
by saying that the committee was inter-
ested only in the ballots cast for the As
sembly candidates.
Thomas II. Gilleran. who appeared for
HYATT, asked the committee to open the
boxes of all the election districts in the
Seventh Assembly district. The committee
promised to consider the request. Although
the members Of the committee would not
divulge the result of their scrutiny Of the
ballots, it lis understood that they found
nothing that will tend to upset the election
of Mr.. Grady.
The committee also started to hear ev-
idenoe in the contest which has been made
by Joseph B, Trout IN. o. against the
seating Of John c. Hackett Taml, who
was declared elected from the Thirteenth
Assembly district. Manhattan. Counsel for
the contestant asked for the opening Of
the boxes of this district, but Chairman
Grattan intimated that the demand would
not be considered unless good reasons were
shown to support the contention that a prop
er count had not been made. He added that
such reasons would have to apply to specific
election districts. The hearing was then
adjourned.
