For 80 Days for Refusal
to Hire a Doctor
FOR HIS SICK GIRL.
New York Court Says a Fathers Ex
cuse that Tie Had No Faith in
Physicians Is Not Valid.

New York, Aug. 3.-Clarence w.
Byrne, who was recently tried and
convicted on charges growing out of
his failure to employ medical assist
ance for his 6-year-old daughter. who
died Of pneumonia, was on Friday
sentenced to 80 days Imprisonment
by the court of general sessions
Byrne, who Is salesman, was arrest
ed on charge OF violating a section
OF the penal code which provides that
"a person who wilfully omits, without
lawful excuse, to perform a duty by
law imposed upon him to furnish
food, clothing, shelter or medical at
tendance to minor, is guilty OF a
misdemeanor.' The complainant
was Coroner Acritelli. The decision
was given by Justice Kean and the
whole court was unanimous for con
viction and sentence.
The defendants excuse for not
callins a medical practitioner during
his daughters illness was want of
faith in doctors and reliance upon
the efficacy of the religious faith to
which he belongs. The court held
the sole question before II to be
whether the omission to furnish medi
cal attendance under the circum
stances constituted lawful excuse
and in lengthy decision says
ITO answer that question in the af
frmatlve by granting the motion In
arrest OF Judgment would establish
precedent that might be extremely
vexatious in other directions, An in
dividual OF some other cult, with
equal plausibllty and earnestness
could prove disbelief in educational
methods as an excuse for not sending
children to school; could withhold
food clothing and shelter leaving
each, as part of his religion, to beI
through the same or simi
lar agency"
Counsel for Mr. Byrne announced
their intention OF appealing the case
and taking it to supreme court Of the
United States If necessary.

The Grave Of Goldsmith.

That Oliver Goldsmith was buried in
the churchyard of the Temple has
been placed beyond doubt by the entry
in the register. But the stone on the
north side Of the Temple church.
around which the enthusiasts of the
Goldsmith club gather has been placed
on a spot purely coniectural, for the
exact position of the grave has never
been discovered. The real site was
remembered as late as 1880. In that
year the sexton, very aged man, who
apparently was present at the burial,
still yenerated an elder tree, which,
he said, marked the site OF Gold.
smiths grave. This elder tree seems
to have stood few feet south of the
present stone, near the old vestry.--

longing to the rival On Leong Tong
society, band of New York China
men numbering a dozen or more, and
said to be members OF the notorious
Hep Sing Tong organization, entered
narrow alley in Chinatown last
night and drawing revolvers, opened
fire upon half a hundred Cinnamon,
killing three and injuring seven. At
the first volley the Cinnamon rushed
for their quarters.
The Hep Sing Tong men chased
their victims into their own doorways
and shot them down as they rushed
upstairs or into side rooms. Then,
casting away their guns, the visitors
ran from the Chinese quarter, most
Of them escaping the police. The
dead:
Wong Su Jung, aged 80, restaurant
proprietor.
Chin Let aged 80, laundryman.
Chin Monquin, aged As, merchant.
Of the injured three were probably
fatally injured. The others are in q
serious condition.
Immediately after the shooting one
Of the Hep Sing Tong men from New
York was captured by policeman as
he was running away He was dressed
in American clothes. Later an officer
at the South station arrested Hong
Woon, of New York, whose hands
were powder stained. Both prisoners
are charged with manslaughter.
The police arrested on suspicion
seven other Cinnamon, who are
strangers IN the local colony.
The shooting occurred in the cen.
ter OF Chinatown, where about 80 chill.
dren were at play. Fully 80 shots
were exchanged. Each of the three
men killed was shot through the

The trouble is attributed by some
to the shooting which occurred In
Philadelphia recently, for which it
was said the New Workers blamed
the local Cinnamon.

New York Public Service Commission
Wrestles with Transportation
Problem and Is FIoOred.

New York, Aug. 3.-Offcials of the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Co. were
quizzed Friday by William NJ WINS
special counsel to the public service
commission, in the desperate hope
that, by once more turning over the
mass of Information possessed by
these witnesses, the commission
might discover solution of New
York City's transportation problem.
Conditions familiar to every one
who travels within the city limits
were rehearsed and at the days end
the Investigators found themselves
confronted with the old puzzle of
how to put three pints in a quart
measure. In other words, the one
fact that stood out prominently
throughout the examination was that
the growth of the citys population
had outstripped the traffic moving ia.
cilities.
Four points of interest were de.
veloped. These were brought out
during the questioning of Frank He'd.
ley, general manager OF the subway
division OF the Interborough- Metro.
poitan Co
The first was the admission that
the company had taken no definite ac.
tion as the result of the resolution of
the rapid transit commission in June.
1906. condemning the use of infam.
msble cars in the subway. President
Bryan, of the Interborough Rapid
Transit Co, had said he did not con.
slider the resolution equivalent to an
order to change the subway cars, and
General Manager Hedley said it had
never been brought to his attention
officially.
From Mr.. Shonts It was learned
that the company's motormen on an
average were not so efficient as two
years ago Mr.. Shonts admitted that
the inferiority OF the motormen might
account in some measure for the bad
service.
interesting figures regarding the
cost of some of the street car lines
were spread upon the minutes. Mr..
WINS referred to the fact that the
Forty.second street cross-town line
had cost S954,446 per mile and that
the Fulton street line, which was
built as horse car line, had cost 81
$4,000 per mile for track and enuip.
ment He asked Mr.. Shonts II he
had ever heard of city railway line
that had cost so much. MIR. Shonts
said that he never had.
Mr. lylns referred to the Thirty
fourth Street cross-town line, which.
he said, had cost S6,472,2S per mile.
Mr. WINS showed that the ten miles
OF the Eighth avenue surface line had
cost Sl66,143 per mile for road equip.
ment while the Fort George and Elev.
enth avenue road, less than mile in
length, had cost S3,63S,25S. The
Third avenue surface line, 1919 miles
long, had required S3,36O,l62 for road
and equipment per mile.

Improvement In Crop Prospects

Fall Trade.
New York, Aug. 3.-R G. Dun ~
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says
Trade reports from the leading
cities are singularly uniform IN max
ing favorable comparisons with tne
corresponding week in any previous
year. At most western and southern
points the improvement in crop pros
poets has brought out liberal fall or
ders, and there is evidently more
confidence in the future than at any
time since 1t was found that many OF
the principal farm products had made
bad start. Jobbing houses are pre-
pairing for winter trade on scale
seldom equalled, the consumption of
seasonable goods promising to de-
plete stocks most satisfactorily
Manufacturers still receive orders
In abundance, few clothing cancella'
tions appear and 1t is the exception
when plants have smaller contracts
than year ago. Nor detailed re-
ports for the first half of 1907 add to
the earlier testimony that all records
for six months were far surpassed
Settlement of the ore strike removes
any danger OF interruption to activity
at pig iron furnaces, which promise
to establish new record of output
during the second half of the year.
