PRINCE VI IS
CONDEMNED
TO DEATH
Nephew Of Korean Emperor
Won't Go Back to Be
Hanged, However.

SEOUL, Aug. 1.-THE Korean Ss1-
preme Court has passed sentence upon
the members of The Hague deputation-
vi Sang Sol has been condemned to be
hanged and VI WI Chow and VI Chun
have been sentenced to Imprisonment
for life.
News that he had been sentenced to
death and that his, associates In the
Inflated mission to The Hague had
been condemned to life imprisonment
was conveyed to Prince Vi, nephew OF
the new Emperor of Korea, att the
Broadway Central Hotel here sariysto-
day.
THE Japanese Of course, are ,respon-
sible for this" the prince commented.
II do not blame them SO much, how
ever, as I blame the traitorous Kore~
ans who have sold themselves to the
Japanese. The only effect of this 40
ton against me will be to add energy
and enthusiasm to tho work Of patrf~
otic Koreans for their country.
"This order for my execution VIII
certainly be carried out IL I ever go
within Korean or Japanese Jurisdiction.
1t would be mere suicide for me to re-
turn to Korea"

SAVE BROTHERS
FROM DEATH
IN BAY
John and William Horst,
Of Elizabeth, Rescued by
NewarkerS in Launch.

John and William Horst, brothers,
to the prompt response made about 2
o'clock yesterday afternoon by a party
of Newarlers to cries for help, when
William went to the assistance Of John,
after he had been overcome in the
water in Newark Bay and both were
overcome. The rescuers were Thomas
Coleman. Thomas ]. Burning and
Frank Haschert. of this city
The Newarkers went out yesterday in
Mr.. Coleman's gasoline launch and
were in tho bay opposite the mouth of
Bound Creek when they heard cry for
help from the occupants of a skiff
about two hundred yards away. On
looking they saw two men in the water.
In the sl1iff q party Of seven men
from Elizabeth had gone out on crab
bing trip. They had only one scoop net
and this happened to fall overheard
and float away. John Horst volunteered
TO swim after it, and undressed and
dived. The net had gone a considerable
distance by the time John got into the
water.
While he was swimming after 1t he
suddenly gave cry for help. William
at once threw off some Of his clothes
and plunged after John. After he
reached him and was bringing him to
their boat he, too. was overcome and
both gave cries for assistance.
The Elizabeth boat had two anchors,
and those were so deep in the mud that
efforts to extract them were very slow.
Someone suggested that the ropes be
cut, but it was then found that none
of the party had knife. Thus the men
in them were helpless while their COM
panions were in danger.
Realizing their predicament the party
yelled to the Coleman boat. This was
the first the Newarl1ers had known of
the trouble on the other boat, being
occupied in fishing themselves. Mr..
Coleman at once made for the strug-
Cling men, but before he had gone half
the distance to them both men sank.
The Newark men thought all was then
over. but the brothers returned to the
surface and the Newark men threw out
their life preservers and a rope.
One of the life preservers struck the
water directly IN 'front.' or JOnn, ana
he had sense enough left to throw
one arm over it, though too weak to
make any further effort to save him
self
The other life preserver had not gone
near enough to William. but the launch
had been progressing toward him. and
the occupants threw out a rope also.
This landed on Williams shoulder and
he seized hold of it.
William was drawn into the launch
and John was put on board his own
boat, the anchors having been raised
by this time and the boat becoming
available for use. BY this time both
the men had become unconscious, but
under the treatment given by the New
arkers they were revived and later
were taken home.

TRENTON, Aug. 12.-Dr. Henry
Mitchell, secretary of the State Board
of Health, was the first witness called
at the meeting of the Hahn Investi-
eating Committee of the House of
Assembly this morning. He was on
the stand when the committee adj
journed last Wednesday.
John II. Baekus, counsel for the
committee. questioned the witness re-
garding the employees Of the health
department, and asked whether. during
the absence of DIR. Hunt, the only
inspector of the board, who is in Eu-
rope, anyone performed his duties.
DIR. Mitchell said that no one was In
charge of the work. Mr.. Backes asked
if anyone connected with the board had
made any investigation of the public
institutions of the State. DIR. Mitchell
said that in past years this had been
done, but since 1899 inspections had
only been made at the request of the
officials of the institution after dis
ease had been discovered. He said that
the board would need two additional
inspectors at a salary CT $1,000 to faith
fully perform these duties
DR.. Mitchell was then querled concern
ing his salary. He said he gets $500 a
year and $500 extra for inspecting diseased
animals. This came under the duties of

ILL, NEWS OF
SUICIDE KEPT
FROM WIFE
Believing She Would Not
Survive Operation, Joseph
Flynn Ends His Life.

Joseph Flynn, 48 years old, of 135
Sheffield street, committed suicide early
last night at his home by taking a dose
of carbolic acid through fear that his
wife, Margaret Flynn, 28 years old, to
whom he was devotedly attached, and
who was removed to st. Michaels Hos
pital Saturday night to undergo an
operation today for appendicitis, would
not recover.
Flynn was hurried to the City Hos
pital, where the physicians worked
steadily over him, but he soon died.
Flynn had been respondent since his
wife was first taken Ill, two weeks ago,
and had said from the first that he did
not think she would ever get well.
This conviction preyed on his mind and
when he was informed his wife would
have to undergo an operation he gave
up all hopes. He was heard to say
Life won't be worth living without
her."
Flynn went to see his wife yesterday
morning, but was not allowed to talk
with her on account of her critical con-
dition. When night arrived he took the
poison which ended his life.
His wife does not know that her hus-
hand is dead. Flynn was a consumptive
and it is thought, too, that this might
have had something to do with his act.
Neigbors of the Flynn family have
banded themselves together to raise
money for his widow. There are four
children, the oldest years of age and
the youngest years.

| DEAD, SAVE 2 2 NEAR DEATH
POLICEMAN AND NIECE HAVE
CLOSE CALL.
Giant Wave Saves Miss Wakefield at
Asbury, Where Newark Roundsman
Would Have Failed.

Roundsman John Sites. Of the Fifth
Precinct station. and his niece. Miss Ethel
Wakefield, Is years old, of 50 Grove street,
East Orange. had a narrow escape from
drowning at Asbury Park on Saturday.
The young woman struck a sudden de-
olvlty In the bottom of the ocean at the
end of the danger ropes and sank. Her
uncle was almost overcome In his efforts
to get her ashore A life guard went to
their assistance and with the aid Of a
monster wave which hurled them shore
ward. saved them both.
Sites and Miss Wakefield were both en-
joying the surf bathing. There were but
dozen persons bathing at the time they
took their dip, the hour being early.
Sites had gone ashore TO carry away a
floating plank that was in the way of the
bathers He had warned his niece abolt
the hole. where the sudden deelivity is To-
Gated and although the young woman
exercised some care she walked into 1t.
She was almost at the end of the rope
at the time and can swim but poorly.
The young woman's cries arrested the
attention OF her uncle. and he was soon al
her side. He secured a good grip on her
bathing suit with one hand, while with the
other he struck out for shore. The under
current was strong and Sites could make
no headway against It.
Excitement prevailed among the other
bethers and persons on shore. Sites was
gradually weakening when the life guard
reached the Newark roundsman. An Inn
mense wave, which came rolling in, swept
the trio to safety.
Miss Wakefield was in a semi conscious
condition when removed to an emergency
hospital near the Shore but revived after
quarter of an hours heroic treatment.
Both Sites and his niece are not over
eager to go in bathing again.
