FIRE AT THE
BARBER PLANT

Fire was discovered In the black
smith shop at the Barber Asphalt
Works about IL o'clock last night by
one of the engineers at the plant. The
inside of the building was blazing
and had it not been for the quick as
sistance of the five special policemen
and few employees the building
would have been destroyed. The
company's hose was used and the
blaze was extinguished before any
great damage was done.
At first it was thought that the
building had been set on fire ny some
of the strikers, but later investiga-
ton revealed the fact that the boards
along the wall had caught fire from
some Goals from the forge.
Had the fire succeeded in gaining
much headway number of large
buildings nearby would have been
endangered.

Columbian Club in Jersey avenue,

state convention of the order. An eX-

Klein Excise Matter Before Court
in New Brunswick Causes Pc
CuIiar State Of Affairs.
THE PAsEL WAS EXHAUSTED.
Charge Was Brought by the State
Law and Order League--Detectives
Failed to Appear and Claim They
Had Been Notified Over the Tele-
phone That Their Presence Would
Not be Neesied--Reward offered.
Special to the EVENING NEWS:

Special to the EVENING NEWS:
NEW BRUNSWICK, May 14:--
When court was called this morning
the Klein excise case came up, with
the fourth jury DR.. Hahn, the super
intendent of the Law and Order
League, presented an affidavit to the
effect that Sunday night two of his
detectives, Dallas and Biddle, who
were wanted as witnesses, had re-
ceived a telephone message from a
person who represented himslf as DR..
Hahn, to the effect that they would
not be needed in court yesterday or
today. AS result they were work
ing somewhere else and could not be
secured. Dr. Hahn asked that the
case go over and the court conduct an
investigation. Judge Booraem con-
sented and said If it was found that
witnesses had been tampered with,
the guilty party, If caught, would be
severely dealt with. The case will be
called again July s. In the mean
time the investigation will go on.
Henry and Peter Klein are charged
by the State Law and Order League
with failing to obey the liquor law.
When the case was called the select
| ing of a jury began at once and
| twelve men were chosen. Then coun-
sci for the accused men raised the
point they had not been continuously
in court during the selecting of the
jury, as is required by law. The
court then discharged the first jury
and proceeded to select another, this
time with the two defendants always
present. When that jury had been
chosen counsel raised the point that
the trial had been ended when the
| first jury was discharged. 1t was set
up that the defendants had been in
court within the meaning of the law,
and that the discharge of that jury
ended the case. Under the code 1t re-
quired jury to decide the point
raised.
So the second jury selected was set
aside and a new one impaneled and
proceeded to ascertain whether the
discharge of the first jury was war
ranted or whether the defendants had
been in court. The jury found the
first jury had been improperly select
ed and the court ordered the trial to
proceed. Before fourth jury could
be completed the panel was exhaust
ed.
In connection with the same case
DR.. Hahn, of Camden, president OF
| the Law and Order League, will pay
500 to ascertain who sent a tele.
phone message in his name. The
Ievidence against the saloon men was
obtained by two detectives. Yester-
day morning they received word over
the phone from a person saying he
was Dr. Hahn that their presence II
court would not be required. They
would not have appeared had not DR.
Hahn himself called them up to make
sure they would be present and tha
upset the fake" message.

Feared Result Of
Counter Charge
Of Detective.
DURING NIGHT.
Buysvimeni, Whose Injuries Were
at First Feared TO be Fatal,
Seized Opportunity TO Leave
His Cot While Nurses Were
Absent from Ward.

Steve Buysvimen, one of the two
strikers who was shot at the Barber
Asphalt Works last week by State
Detective James Moran and who was
taken to the city hospital on account
of wound in his neck, escaped from
that institution about o'clock this
morning.
1t was stated at the hospital this
morning that Buysvimeni was last
seen lying on cot shortly before 2
O'Clock. Both nurses on duty were
upstairs attending to another patient,
and the ward in which he was con-
fined was left unguarded. The wound
ed man, who has improved greatly
in the past few days, lost no time in
making up his mind what to do and
Immediately disappeared through 4
window When the nurses returned
they found that he was missing and
notified the police at once.
Lue Bilas, the other striker, who
was shot in the thigh by Moran, was
lying on another cot nearby, and it
is thought that had he been able he
would have escaped also One of the
nurses at the hospital this morning
said that they were not responsible
for the patients and that Bilas would
probably escape too, if guard were
not placed there.
The police will try and locate Buy
svimeni and place him in custody
again, as Detective Moran has pre-
ferred charges of assault with intent
to kill against both of the wounded
men. Buysviemeni's injuries, it was
at first feared, might prove fatal.

The large dry dock which had been
under construction for .he past eight
months at Harry Cossey S shipbu'ld-
ing plant in Railroad avenue, Totten-
Vile, was launched successfully this
morning shortly before 10 o'clock.
This dock, which is owned by the
Tiegjen & Lang Dry Dock Company,
of Hoboken, is one of the largest in
this part of the country The launch
ing went on without hitch. All
morning up to the time of the launch
ing large gangs of men were kept
busy arranging the piling and lum-
ber. Two large flags, one an Ameri-
can and the other a commercial flag,
were placed on each side of the dock.
An hour prior TO the launching the
sound was filled with small craft of
all sorts and numerous tugs fingered
about. Three tugs were brought down
from Hoboken to tow the dock to its
home quarters and with the tugs was
the large excursion steamer Isabel,
which was loaded with visitors from
New York, Hoboken and Brooklyn to
see the launching.
The shore on the Perth Amboy side
was lined with people from Smith
street to the lead works. All river
craft which possessed flags Or bunting
of any description displayed it. Work
on the Lehigh Valley coal decks and
upon buildings where men were at
work was suspended for few min
utes while the launching took place.
Took the Water Easily.
1t was Just 9:45 o'clock when the
signal by cannon was given and the
huge dock, amid blowing of whistles,
cheering and waving of handker-
chiefs slid smoothly into the water.
It's travel was not stopped and 1t
moved across the sound very nearly to
the Lehigh Valley shipping docks.
The tugs from Hoboken Immediately
took charge and pulled it to the Stat
en- Island side of the sound again.
This dock is $50 feet long, 100
feet wide and 40 feet high, and con-
tains 100000 feet of Oregon pine.
1t was built to carry a vessel of $500
tons and contains forty fourteen-inch
pumps. 1t cost $1S0,000 to build.
The original contract was for $780,
600, but since that time lumber has
increased in price. Numerous people
from Staten Island gathered at the
waters edge to witness the launch
ing.
The principal of the school in Tot
tenville had given the pupils permis-
sion to witness the affair until lO
o'clock. The Tietjen & Lang Dry
Dock Company is considering the
building of another dry dock simiial
to the one just completed. and
Philadelphia concern may also nave
one built in Tottenville.
