 in connection with the killing of fifteen year old Frederick Behler in the grade crossing accident on Shelton avenue on May 23.

 Murphy himself went on the stand late in the afternoon. He testified that while he had received one bell signal to bring his car to stop it was fol- lowed by two bells to go ahead He claimed that when he received the one bell he shut off the power, and applied the brakes, but on the second signal started up again.

 at Farnham's. CRIME FOUR YEARS OLD Dead Man Found by Chil- dren Long After Buried
 Under Bank.
CRIME FOUR YEARS OLT

John Wisyneski a Pole, living in
 Westville, was arrested last evening by Detective Colwell and Patrolman Heenan and held for examination by the coroner. Coroner Mix arrived at police headquarters about midnight and was closeted with the prisoners, the of- ficers, a stenographer and an interpret CT for over an hour When seen after the session he stated that the man was held for the murder of Lucas Savage, which occurred at Farnhan' s farm in Westville about four years ago.
 The murder of Savage was one of the biggest mysteries the local police have met with in many years, and after a long search for the murderer the hunt had to be abandoned without result. Sayage's body was found buried in a mound of earth on the Farnham farm about a month after the murder, The body was discovered by some children who were playing in the vicinity. They saw something sticking out of the bank and upon investigation found they were the legs of dead man. It is believed the murderer attempted to bury him from sight and failed to make his job complete.
 No clue could be obtained at the time of the murderer. The suspected man is thirty years of age, of medium height, and is classed as a Polish la borer,
 Detective Colwell. with Interpreter Coleman, is out Investigating and seeking further evidence in the case. He left as soon as the conference with the coroner was completed. Parties connected with the murdered man are now being sought for.

 Meetings were held last night in the entries of Lawrence and Farnam halls thetwo principal sophomore dormitories on the campus. They were addressed by Professor Gruener and by w. P. Fa- bian, 1907, member of the campus committee.

BARRIERS MEET
 ENDS IN FIGHT Several Journeymen Driven by Force From the
 Hall. NO STRIKE AT PRESENT Union Men in Center of City the Ones Who Want to
 Go Out.
NO STRIKE AT PRESENT

The meeting of the journeymen bar bers last night ended in as neat fight as has followed any union meeting here for some time. Some of them were driven from the meeting place into the corridor and then the man at the door yelled to them to come back or they would be fined $1 each.
 They didn't come back and the turmoil in the hall increased. Some cried out for roll call others called out strike and others cursed in several different languages
 The meeting opened about o'clock and was attended by 25O journeymen barbers. Of this about twelve were desirous of having a strike. A proposi- ton for a strike with an appropria- ton from the treasury of 8 for each man was turned down without being voted upon. The report of a committee which has been trying to arrange for a half holiday with the master barbers was accepted. The report stated that no agreement had been reached and asked that the committee be discharg- NNt {A lpStloil lOI uilt appointment or another committee was rejected.
 Then commenced the serious time of the meeting, every little while sonie- one breaking in with the cry strike. ; Every motion offered for compromise was rejected and discussion became hot. No one wanted to accept the pro- positions of the master barbers, and the fight was over what steps the journeymen should take.
 The barbers on the outskirts of the city did not wish to have a strike for the master barbers are willing to give them half day off Those about the center of the city were active for a strike until the demands of the jour- neymen have been granted.
 Finally another motion was made for a strike, several amendments were of- fered and 1t was moved to adjourn. The latter motion was carried and then the fight commenced over the roll call. Another meeting will be held later in the week.

DAVIS TOO SLOW
 FOR THE BISHOP Has Not Raised Money Fast Enough to Suit Con-
 ference. NO NEW CHURCH YET Local A. M. E. Minister Makes an Interesting
 Disclosure.
NO NEW CHURCH YET

The true nature of the difficulty ex-
 isting between the Rev. J. w. Davis
 pastor for five years of the Foote street
 A. M. E. Zion church and the New
 England conference of the African M. E. church, became fully known last night.
 According to statement issued by the members of the conference Rev. MT, Davis was appointed pastor of the Foote street church five years ago with the distinct understanding that he was to erect a new church building. Bishop Hood, president of the conference, was much dispensed with the slow progress made by Mir. Davis and also with his management of the finances of the church. It is reported that he said that he did not consider that he could rely any longer on Mir Davis to handle the situation. He accordingly transferred him to a large church Is Poughkeepsie, N. r., where, 1t is reported, that he said there is 20 debt and all that MT. Davis would have to do would be to preach.
 MT. Davis does not relish this ar raignment of his administration and was so much dissatisfied that he ten- dered his resignation to the conference. He believes that his action will be vin- dicated this time. Tn statement is- sued last night he alleges that some person, Presiding Elder Riddle, 1t is understood, misinformed the bishop as to the facts In the case. The imme- diate occasion for the breaking out of the trouble was the raising of mort- gage of LOGO with which to secure the title to the church property, which MT. Davis says he found did not belong to the trustees. Mir Davis has. many friends who believe in him implicitly.
 Acting for Bishop Hood, who was obliged to leave early, Associate Bishop A, Walter made a statement relative to the controversy with Rev. J. W. Davis at the conference reception held in Warner hall last night. Bishop Wall ter said, announcing the appointments:  Tt is one of the rules of our order that no pastor can lay claim to any charge for a period longer than one year. Any man who comes into the conference makes a promise to abide by the law. If he refuses we tell him as kindly and firmly as we can that we cannot re- ceive him. The obligation is then his own. The bishop may re-appoint him, but that is optional with him.
 You have seen in the daily press a statement in which the bishop has been charged with being a party to a dark plot again one of the members of the The bishop has commis- stoned me to say that he is ready to stand before the judgment throne and

They carried Orchard by slow steps through the minutest de- tails from the dynamiting of the Inde- pendence, Colo, station down to the at tempt on the life of Fred Bradley and his family in San Francisco.

 up by crowded mass meeting of sec
 ond and tenth ward citizens held in tbe
 building of the Monarch laundry on the
 Boulevard last evening. nhe city wail
 have to look around for still another site as a location for the long pre-
 posed contagious disease hospital. So
 strong was the protest against tha
 Derby avenue site that in the course
 of the meeting, Frank Leddv, as agent
 for Edward Malley, announced that he would this morning withdraw the oa,-
 ton given to Colonel Ullman on thia site for the contagious disease hospi- tal and immediately there was an out burst of ear-splitting applause Con- sequently the Derby avenue site as hospital site will exist no longer after to-day
 The laundry building was nsied to Its capacity with fully 250, bubbling over with interest and eagerncss when Attorney Charles $. Hamilton as presi- dent. openede the flow of eloouerlce. Speaker after speaker arose to oz,pose the site arguing that 1t was not ideal as claimed that 1t was not easily ao- cessible, that on account of the sWamp near it, 1t was unsanitary. that it was a menace to health and that 1t would appreciate property in that locality.

This criti- cism found vent in the first draft of the resolutions adopted by the meeting. in which a vote was incorporated con- denning the, action of the aldermen from the second and tenth wards. The vote seenaer to be practically the un- animous voice of the host until one of the speakers arose and pleaded against condemning the aldermen without hearing. He declared That he was a conscienticus honest man, that he knew him personally to be such ana that if he had voted contrary to his constituents 1t must have been through conviction that he was right. He suggested that so far as he knew. Curtiss had not been seen by an au- thorized committee and thought the meeting should refrain from passing without further attepant
