there was an old timber dam which
the engineers summarily removed
with the aid of some large charges of
dynamite. The concrete barrier,
which has taken the place of this
timber structure, is 1850 feet long, or
over a fifth of a mile, $40 feet of its
length being devoted to the spillway
over which will flow the surplus water
of the river. The average height of
this spillway section is 40 feet, or
greater than that of a three-story
dwelling. In the construction of this
one dam 10000 cubic yards of con-
crete were used. Had this concrete
been erected in the form of shaft
20 feet square it would have risen to
a height of about 80 feet, or nearly
half as high again as Bunker Hill
Monument.
Near the main dam is one which is
built in the form of an arch, which
sweeps in a graceful curve into the
waters of the artificial lake and de-
rives its strength from its form, just
as do the arches which sustain the
weights of massive bridges and tow
ering buildings. The purpose of the
service reservoir is to conserve the
flow Of the water in order to meet the
variably demands for power without
unnecessary losses of the precious
fluid over the spillway. A large stor-
age reservoir will be constructed
farther up stream, although it is not
necessary with the present plant.

SHOT AS HE FLED.
Diners In Restaurant witness ARRAY That
May Have Fatal Ending.

The crowd dining In Gonfarone's restau-
rant 8. Eighth and Macdougal streets last
night witnessed a shooting on the sidewalk
in front of the place, when Robert Boyce
fred three shots into the back OF Louis
PeraZzo. The two men arp young and have
shady regulations. Perazzo lives at 10
Macdougal street and Boyoe lives at 81 Bed
ford street. The latter's father il en-
ployed as foreman for a contractor.
Boyce and Perazzo had been drinking In
Miller's saloon at Eighth and Maodougal
streets. They got to quarrelling and retired
to the sidewalk, where Royce whipped out a
revolver. Perazzo saw this and ran across
the street. Boyoe followed, firing as he
ran. Three shots took effect, and the
Italian fell to the sidewalk and rolled into
the gutter.
After firing the shots Boyce ran west on
Eighth street and dashed into Shea's sa-
loon at the corner of Sixth avenu De-
tectives Conroy and Lynch OF the Mercer
street station gave chase and grabbed
Boyce Just as he Leaned over the bar and
threw his revolver into the water trough.
Boyce took his arrest coolly. He fished
a lot of cigars from his pocket and offered
them to the detectives and several police
men in uniform, who had run up by this
time. When Boyce was led back to where
the wounded man lay in the street Perazzo
identified him as the man that had shot
him.
Perazzo was hurried TO st. Vincent's
Hospital. The three bullets had entered
under his right shoulder blade. The
doctors said that they had little hope for
his recovery. Boyce was taken to the
Mercer street station and locked up on a
charge of felonious assault.
Boyce made a statement to the police
In which he said that Perazzo had tried
to steal his watch. When searched Boyce
had a gold plated watch and two pocket
books, one OF which contained a Confederate
500 bill. The police say that both men
freuuented cheap pool and billiard parlors
and were known as workers Of the lemon

Late this afternoon q large red auto

chauffeur passed along the avenue and
over the Mason dog, vanishing in the
distance before the little Massons had time
TO get their breaths and the number Of

Later in the day Mr.. Mason; surrounded
by a group OF sympathetic friends and a
sorrowing family, said:
For some time all the motor cars in the
country have apparently been using Ridge

PhllIlDs's Body Was Found.

PhiIIDs's Body was found.
DR.. Kirke Stanley, who was found or
Sunday morning under the Willis avenue
bridge with a fractured skull and badly
battered face, was much improved yester-
day. He IL at the Harlem Hospital. He
was unwilling to talk, and said he was sorry
that anything about tho affair had been
printed. When asked what had called him
TO this vicinity at such a time OF night, he
answered:
We'll, / would really not care TO say"
1t had been learned from DR.. Stanley's
former landlady. Mrs. William Heating,
Of 2l2 East l7sth street, that he had received
a special delivery letter on Saturday even
ing and that about midnight he went out,
telling the janitor Of the house that he
was going to answer a call from one Of his
patients. The doctor was told what the
janitor had said, and then declared that
he had been out on a professional call.
Were you attacked, on your way TO the
patient or as you were r~eturning1' he was
asked.
We'll, I really do not remember. The
attack was so sudden, 40 unexpected thai
II completely dazed me-
The doctor would not tell on whom he
had gone to call or anything about the events
before or after the assault; he would not
even admit or deny that he had been robbed.

such notoriety to this AFFAIR" he said, and
IL is useless for the police to attempt to
run down the men who attacked me. 1

Asked II he were the man in whose room;
at 100 Ninth avenue, Father Phillips's body
was found some years ago, he refused to
answer. He admitted that a number
OF years ago he had arr ONCE at the Ninth
avenue address.
The case Of Father Phillips made a police
sensation Ave years ago. Mrs. Kate
Bennins, from whom a DR.. Stanley had
rented rooms, was looking after some
cleaning in the apartment when she saw
lying on a table a dead body, which proved
to be that OF a priest who had been missing
from his home In Hazleton. Pa, for ten
days. DIR. Stanley wa arrested, but freed
later by Coroner Bausch for lack Of in
eliminating evidence.
At this time a woman; known to the
doctor as Lillian Bernard, but whose real
name was said to be Miss Lichtenstadter,
suddenly disappeared. Mrs. Heating says
that this same woman has been acting as
housekeeper for the doctor.
DR.. Stanley's -housekeeper, who is known
as Mrs. Weber, and his daughter, Isabelle,
moved on Sunday morning to an apart
ment at 240 West Hath street. Mrs. Weber
would not be seen, and the daughter said
that she didn't remember anything about
Father Phillips ora strange woman.
MRS. Weber has beer our housekeeper
