DYING AFTER FALL
FRANK RIDLEY HURT AT
STEEL WORKS.
Lost Footing While on Ladder and in
Descent Skull Was Broken When
He Hit Obstacle.

Frank Ridley. iof 6sO North Seventh
street is lingering at the point of death
in st. Barnabas's Hospital, suffering from
a fracture at the base of the skull, The
injury was received late yesterday after
noon when he was working on ladder at
the new plant of the Carnegie Steel
Works in Waverly. Ridley is plasterer
by trade and was working on the wall of
the building when the accident occurred
that will probably end in his death.
The fall would not have resulted as Sc
riously, as the distance was only between
twelve and fifteen feet, had not Ridley's
head struck projecting piece of steel in
the fight to the floor. He was picked up
bv fellow employees In an unconscious con-
dition and has been in the same state ever
since, not having rallied even for an in
slant.
h. Ridley's wife, who has been at his bed
side most OF the time since the accident,
stated this afternoon that she was not in
possession of any more information con-
cerning the accident than what a fellow
, workman of her husbands had told her
when he told her last night that her hus-
band had been injured. This man told Rid
iey's wife that the victim had bean at work
on the ladder and missed his footing.

WON'T "SELL" CHILD
MOTHER MISREPRESENTED
SITUATION.
And Name Isn't Gaydash, but Is Boleski.
Dutiful Sons Take Earn
ings Home.

1t became known today that Mrs.
Nary Boleski, who some days ago
made known her desire to offer for a
term of years the services of her IL
year-old daughter for $780, which
money, she claimed, she needed to take
her back to her native land, Poland, is
a woman of property and holds the
deed for the house in which she lives,
having fair equity in the building and
lot. 1t was also learned that her name
is Boleslxi, and not "Gaydash,' as she
originally gave out.
According to statements she made
today, Mrs Boleski has been twice
married and has three children besides
the young girl whom she said she
would part for a money consideration,
each of whom is older than the girl.
The children are two sons and a daugh-
ter. half-brothers and sister of the
girl.
1t is said that these children OBJ
jected to the contemplated action of
their mother and finally persuaded her
to change her mind. When she finally
saw her error it was decided to give
out statement that she had obtained
medical attention and the promise of
position as soon as she became ply
sically able to work and that she would
thus support her child.
The two sons mentioned, each max
ing good wages, live with their mother,
and their earnings are taken home
every payday.

FAGAN ON HIS
REQUISITlONS
FOR GOODS
Declares That While Member

lie Acted Right.
Especial to the Evening Star. !

JERSEY CITY. Oct. 11.-Mayor Mark M.
Fagan today issued a statement explain
ing the Democratic attempt to make politi-
cal capital of some requisitions for supplies
given when he was member of the Board
of Freeholders. He says:
II am Informed that at Tuesdays session
of the Senate investigating committee
counsel for the Freeholders sought to miti-
gate the effect of the disclosures of the
methods of doing the county business
under the present county administration
through the system of giving out requi-
sitions for miscellaneous supplies, by
showing that |, when n member of the
Board of Freeholders. had also given out
acquisitions, thus attempting to justify both
the practise itself and its present abuse.
have had the facts as to this matter looked
up, and, as far as | can learn and to the
best of my recollection, they are as fol-
lows
Some eleven or twelve years ago l was
elected to the Board of Freeholders, which
was my first political experience. During
the second year of my term | was placed
on one of the committees of the board, and
as stieh member 1t became my duty, ac-
cording to the rules of the board, to
secure certain supplies needed by one of
the county institutions.
"1'he only method of securing such sup
pies at LnaL tlule WAS ny tub iCqhiSieioh
system, and I suppose the acquisitions /
had were four which were presented to
the Senate committee by the counsel of the
Board of Freeholders, amounting to be-
tween $500 and $500.
II gave these requisitions to Stephen
Fitzgerald, in whom / had absolute conf
dence, and told him to secure the goods
required and to be careful to see that the
goods furnished were of good quality and
that the price was the ruling market price
for similar goods. | have every reason to
believe that these instructions were carried
out.
II understand that the acquisitions OF
bills bear the certificate Of the warden that
the goods furnished were of the proper
quality and quantity and the prices show
for themselves. l defy any person to show
that the county suffered in this matter, or
that | prof1ted to the extent Of penny by
this or any other similar transaction
