BETTE WHITES
WOUND FATAL
Shot Down On Street BY
Negro Boy Night of
Dec. IL.
FINGERED UNTIL 21sT.
Norris Fort, Her Slayer,
Escaped And Is Still
At Large.

The wound of Bette White, the
colored girl shot by Norris Fort a
week ago, resulted fatally Monday
night, after she seemed to be on a
fair way to recovery.
The bullet went into her throat
and lodged in the back of her neck.
Fort and the girl we're together on
Avenue D. late at night and there
were no witnesses.
After shooting the girl who was Is
years old and a house girl employed
on Main street, Fort escaped and has
not been found. He was employed as
a porter at the Hill House. The
girl did but little talking after she
was shot and while Fort will doubt
less be indicted for murder, it will
be difficult to make out case, unless
some new evidence is discovered.
The fact that he ran away, is the
strangest point against him.
The Coroner held an inquest Tues
day and the jury returned verdict
of unjustifable homicide. Two wit
nesses will state that Fort threaten
the girls life.

 That the police department is making a strenuous effort to catch the men that have been committing petty robberies in the northwestern section of the city is evident from the fact that three plain clothes men are doing duty in that section. For some months one of the two men ac- customed to patrol the beat has been in plain clothes; now the two regu- lars and third man are patrollins the avenue without their blue uni- forms.
 The funeral of Bernard c. Reilly was held yesterday afternoon from his late home on Highland avenue with service at St Patrick's church by Father Gleeson and interment in new St Joseph's cemetery.

 John Zuker, who claims to belong in New York, is detained at the po- lice station, charged with stealing horse and carriage. He was taken into custody by Officer Mclean, who suspected that the team did not be- long to him, and it appears that the officer made no mistake. Zuker was given berth at the lookup and the horse was sent to Trask's livery sta ble. There were two men in. the carriage when the officer got his eagle eye on them, but one of them tumbled and got away just in time to save himself the trouble of eX- blaming few things about his con- duct.

It certainly looks as though we will he known henceforth as Dry bury" With population of 75,0OO people depending on supply of water capable of supplying only 50,- 900 we must not expect to be called any name but ''Drybury." Of course the people who don't drink water don't care because they can satisfy their thirst within the beer saloon, but as most of those people are short lived we should pay but title atten- ton to them. We must have water and it must be good if you want nice tasting tea or coffee, and that "bunch" called city fathers should get a "wiggle on" and see that we get it and get it right away, too.

We'll, if''Scoop" un- derstand scooping let the city fathers or the "city bunch" send him up to the Wigwam reservoir and let him practice scooping out the. bottom while there is no water in it.

The Aldermanic Committee on Laws

A minority report accompanied the

introduced by Alderman Schloss. reads
as follows:
All Ticket Speculation Evil.
THE theatre ticket speculation in this
city is, in any form, an evil and we are
heartily in favor of abolishing it. but
we think that, inasmuch as a question
has been raised of the right of the
Board to restrict speculation other than
on our streets and highways. two sepa-
rate ordinances should be passed regu-
lating the traffic, and we therefore
recommend that the said ordinance In
PRODUCED by Alderman Redmond. chair-
man OF this committee, about the con-
stitutionality OF which there is no aues-
ton, be adopted"
Both reports were laid over after the
suggestion that the Corporation Counsel

the majority report imposing a penalty
for Its violation.

ed. and every phase Of the subject was
threshed out. To have legislated against
the sidewalk Spectators without includ-

farcical.
II want TO say a word about that
alleged 100 bribery fund story which
The Evening World published, intimat-
Ing that the money was to be employed
in defeating this resolution. The story
was attributed TO a Republican mem

will confront the writer OF that story
and explain to this board. such a course
would be justified and is due the mem

Il submit again that the Committee
was sand bagged by The Evening Word
into making this report" interrupted
Alderman Walsh. again referring to the
5000 alleged bribery story and adding
that II was due to the constituents of

the truth.
