Should Explain Italians Broker Ribs
Coroner's Physician OHanlon performed
! an autopsy yesterday on the body Of Cornelio
C~olegero. an Italian, who died Saturday
in the Manhattan State Hospital for the
Insane on Wards Island. Coroner Har-
burger requested DR.. O'Hanlon to perform
an autopsy because six of the mans ribs
we're broken and the report Of DR.. H. c.
Evarts. acting superintendent of the hos
pital. didn't seem to meet the case, in the
Coroner's opinion.
DR.. O'Hanlon reported to the Coroner
that four ribs on the right side of the body
we're broken and two on the left side. DR..
O'Hanlon gave the opinion that the injuries
we're about six weeks old. Coroner Rar-
burger made this statement last night
The report Of Dr.. OEanlon ~justifies
the suspicion that the nan was brutally
treated by somebody. 1t may not have
been a keeper, but the fact remains that
the authorities of the hospital should never
permit conditions to exist by which one
patient could be fatally assaulted by an-
other.
When DR. Evarts reported to me- that
the man was attacked and pushed Gown
several steps of a fire escape by a luI.a ATTIC,
I asked the doctor who the luratic was
He said he didn't know. Moreover. the
man died at o o'clock Saturday morning
and the case was not reported to the Coro-
ners' Office until o o'clock SATURDAY. hight.

HOusesm!ths Have a scheme and the Central
Federated Union Approves.

The Housesmiths and Bridgemen's Union,
whose strike against the Allied Iron As
sociations is still in force. now wants the
United States Steel Corporation put out
of business. The union holds the corpora
ton responsible for the open shop policy
in the structural iron trades.
A long resolution was sent by the union
to the Central Federated Union yesterday
for Endorsement. 1t calls upon Congress
man Hearst to wallop the steel corporation
and to draw up a bill placing iron and steel
on the free list. This the unlon thinks Will
kill the company. .
Delegate Wilson Of the International
Association of Machinists declared that all
tariffs were rotten. Delegate Kelly Of the
housesmiths then denounced the steel
corporation. He said it had its clutch or
t~hree-fourths OF all structural iron and
steel MANUFACTURED in the United States.
The resolutions were adopted and Kelly
weat on to talk OF the strike of the house
smiths, He said that two Of the member
of the iron league had surrendered, but
that this made little difference. He called
the other unions down for not striking in
We do not thi ok il right, " he said, for
other organizations 70 stand idly by ard
leave the housesmiths to fight against the
open shop alone. If the other building
trades unions do not act IL means that the
open shop movement will extend"
Kelly then moved that each union ir the
building trades represented in the Central
Federated Tnion appoint a committee Of

A letter was received from Frank D.
Sturges, chairman Of the Committee on
Lawsa and Legislation of the 'Board'of Alder
men, in reference to a request for the con-
struction of a municipal ice plant. An
expression of the views from those advocat-
ing the measure are asked, more especially
with respect TO the authority of the board
in the premises. Another letter was read
from P. j Scully, clerk of the Board of
Aldermen, asking that the delegates attend
a meeting Of the committee, which will be
called in a few days, and explain their views.

the conference with the operators to-

outcome of the New York conference

There was a repetition here to-day Of the

was able TO confirm it and some declared
il more than doubtful.

Fence Line Law.

1t is not generally known that
during the session of the Legis-
lature of 1905 a law was passed
whereby one party to line fence
could compel the other party to
build his share of the fence, or re.
pair his share of the fence as the
case may be.
Where party interested in a
line fence, has his own fence in
good repair, and his neighbor re-
fuses to build or repair his share
of fence, he goes to the auditors
and make complaint to them.
The auditors are required to eX,
anime the fence and the need of
it. If they find the complaint
well founded, they reportthe same
to justice of the peace, who is
required 10 give the failing par
ties notice to repair or build the
fence within forty days. If he
does not do it the other party may
build it and collect the cost OF 1t.
If the auditors find that the
fence is in good repair, or that nc
feuce Is needed, then no action is
taken. Ia either case the audi
tors are 10 receive two dollars
each, to be paid by the party
