LIVES To TELL

James Gillies Doubled Into Bali
by Terrific Shock in
PoWer=HOuse.
HURLED TO FLOOR
AND KNOCKED OUT
Describes How lie Felt Muscles

Crack.

Electric current from a wire carry
ing 1900 volts passed through the
body of James Gillies, of 304 South
Orange avenue and today in st. Mi
chael's Hospital he was able to tell all
about it.
Giilies was cleaning the switches in
the River street power house of the
Public Service Corporation, when his
left hand came in contact with one of
the heavy service wires. The current
entered his body through his left arm
and went out by the left foot, which
was supporting the body on the plat
form. The shock doubled Gillies into
knot and hurled him from the plat
form to the cement floor of the power
house, seven feet below.
In the hospital today Gillies had a
bad burn on the left hand, where the
current had roasted the flesh, and an
other on the left foot, where the cir
cult had been completed with the plat
form. He also had severe scalp
wound, where his head had come in
contact with the floor of the building
when he was thrown from the plat
form.
"The last thing remember" said
Gilies, was whep l put out my hand
to steady myself and touched the
heavy service wire. 1t seemed like
some one, a great giant. had used me
for the snapper of a whip. Every
muscle in my body seemed to have
been given a sudden and violent jerk
and every bone cracked. The pain of
this, | guess, prevented me from feel
ing the intense pain of the burns.
LAS the force of the current doubled
me up l remember seeing a bright
flash of blue flame as my hand was
torn away from the wire. 1t was no
common fall for me to the floor. I was
thrown, or, | guess, [ was shot, like
from a cannon. down to the cement
floor. I hit on my head and after that
l did not remember anything until I
woke up here.
To-day I feel sore all over. This is
from the awful wrenching the current
gave me. Every joint Is sore and
aches. Each joint and muscle feels as
my right arm would feel If 1 had jerked

What sort of a man was the one
that was doing the striling?' asked
First Assistant Prosecutor Raymond.

Mrs. Coelln swore that she heard an

fed, "when | said to Walsh, You are

Tho defense, which is a complete de-
NAL, was opened this afternoon by Mr.,
Kearns. He had a score of witnesses
70 testify that Walsh did not strike
LaclSey. 1t is likely that the case will
go to the jury tomorrow.
When Walsh was placed on the wit
ness stand this afternoon he denied en-
phatically that he ever struck Laekey.
In fact. he swore that he did not even
make a pass at the fireman.
Lacliey to the best of Walsh's lSnowl-
edge and belief had not even talked to
him Il was Wolfram. he said, who
had showed him. and he, the witness,
struck back at him.

The fire quickly spread to adjoining
structures. Gilmore q O'Keefe's store
was destroyed, the loss being estimated
by members of the firm at $4,000.
Jumping to Maurice Grossman's shoe
store, at Ill Newark avenue, the flames
laid that structure, with its valuable
stock, in ruins. Then the fire spread to
Joseph T. Saxe's five-and-ten-cent store
at 167 and 1863 Newark avenue. and
swept through that with great rapidity.

The fire, which is believed to have
started from a defective wire in Gill

most intense excitement throughout the
city From the rapidity with which
the flames spread 1t was believed for a
time that the whole retail business Sec
tion was in danger of being wiped out.
At the time the wall fell on the two
flremen the third alarm was sent in,
bringing nine engine companies and
four hook and ladder trucks to the
scene, besides numerous smaller ap-
paratus.
Most of the loss sustained by the
store and the owners of the building Is
said to be covered by insurance.
Prepare for Great Fight.
Realizing the seriousness of the fire.
the firemen spread emergency lines of
hose for several blocks around. In the
vicinity are many frame buildings, most
of them three and four stories in height.
There was a brisk breeze blowing from
the southwest at the time and 1t was
feared that a large section of the in
flammable buildings would be wiped
out.
Many Of the smaller merchants
moved parts of their stocks out of their

cutor George Berdine has directed that

his attention to Mrs Philip Render

made the sensational allegations about
demands having been made upon her
for $4,000 ransom for the old lady and
involving a New York lawyer, one John
Reed, for whose arrest she swore ont
a warrant before Mayor Birmingham,
of South Amboy. The prosecutor VIII
also look into the truth or falsity of
the grounds upon which she swore out
the warrant.
The sudden discontinuance of the case
is due to alleged contradictory state
ments which the police say have been
made to them by Mrs. Render and DIR.
e. e. Haines, of South Amboy, who has
acted with her in the case, and the
statement of Mrs. Dora Bennett, of
South Amboy, an aunt of Mrs. Render,
who says that Mrs. Volckwein is now
living in New York with a son. William,
and that the aged woman has to her
certain knowledge not been in South
Amboy for fifteen years. on the other

said to have stated that she was kid

BAURO SENTENCED
To TWENTY YEARS
TAKES It COOLLY

without the slightest trace of emo
tion, with even the trace of a half
smile on his face, Guiseppi Bauro,
who murdered Mike Solitto last Easter
Sunday in South Orange, was sem
fenced to twenty years Imprisonment
by Judge Ten Eyck in Quarter Ses-
sions Court today
The crime was a cold-blooded one,
Bauro deliberately walking up to the
victim and firing two successive shots
into the latters heart.
The judge in reviewing the evidence
stated that while the evidence showed
that both men had been drinking there
had been no provocation nor any excuse
for murder That the prisoner, though
of low mental calibre was entirely
aware and responsible for his deeds.
The jury brought in the verdict of
guilty of murder in the second degree
last Friday. The judge in passing SEN
tence, said that as the mans record
had been entirely clean up to this point
he would not impose the extreme sem
tence of thirty years, but one of twenty.

this upon some future occasion, but
this much l will say now;
Tor the man who makes charges in

can be some measure of respect. He
at all events accepts responsibility for
his actions For the man who, In the
sudden heat of passion or under the
stress of overmastering temptation, IS
led into the commission of crime, some
mitigation of punishment may be
urged. But for him who, coldly and
deliberately. with the full conscious
ness of the infamy of his action skulk-
ing behind the persons of others, con-
cocts and promulgates foul attack
on character, which he dare not avow
himself, there can only be the loathing
and adherence which a decent COM
munity visits upon the secret pol

gress, our people should take no heed
of strict partizanship and the discl-
pline of American political parties.
Some of our business men are be-
ginning to realize this as they hear
the returns from the first political
skirmishes.
We are not prepared to admit that
the Democratic candidate for Dele
gate has made such serious Roadway
against the Republican Delegate that
1t cannot be overcome.
The facts of the situation, how
ever. show beyond possibility of
doubt that the independent-voting
doctrine has gone so far that 1t is now
threatening the head of the Repub-
lican ticket at a time when the re-
turns from this Territory will be ac-
cepted throughout the country as an
expression of our people on National
questions of the utmost Importance.
Abuse of the opposing candidate
VIII not correct conditions. No man
was more roundly abused than Rob
ert Wilcox, who made his greatest
gains by making false promises and
became politically fat on a particu-
lar line of personal attack for which
the opponents of split ticketing are
well known.
The solution of the problem Is the
enlistment of the forces of the Re-
publican party in forceful. honest,
straight-ticket campaign, based on
the sound political theory that prin-
ciple should be protected before per-
sonality is picked to pieces.
You can't disorganize one section
of party without endangering the
whole.
Straight-ticket voting will bring
the result which will set Hawaii right
before the people of the mainland at
n time when demonstration from
these Islands is needed to ensure their
prosperity.

ENLlSTING THE TOURIST.

There is much in favor of Hawaii
having a Government Tourist Bureau
force for outdoor work at home to
support the splendid efforts of the
Promotion Committee to advertise
these Islands abroad That the re-
sponsible head of the outdoor work
for the tourist and local jaunter
should have a wide range of indie
pendent authority and action Is dem
onstratcd by the successful work aC-
complshed after adopting this course
In Australasia and elsewhere. Ger
tainly much could be gained If at a
small cost Hawaii can secure through
cooperation with the Australasian
Government Tourist Bureaus commo-
dious headquarters in New York and
other large cities on the mainland,
where information could be deliv-
cred on the spot or disseminated
quickly.
The work of the Promotion Com
mittee would be made easier and
more far-reaching. and Government
Tourist Bureau employing an outdoor
promoter at home answerable for
none of his actions in behalf of the
tourists within our gates to any pri-
Vate contributing interests, might
easily bring about here, as IL has in
Australasia, lower travel fares and
other conveniences OF travel that will
enable our own people as well as our
visitors to know these Islands more
thoroughly. Success to the plans of
all good promoters and welcome to

STRAIGHT VOTING is ONLY
GUARANTEE OF SUCCESS.

Reports from the workers are of
q nature to convince the men who
do not ordinarily take an active part
in politics that it is about time for
them to wake up, IL they would hold
the Territory of Hawaii for the Re-
publican party.
The split-ticket propaganda and
the personality campaign have had a
result that is now being evidenced
by change of front among the rank
and tile and Indifference on the part
OF men who should be In the fore
front of Republican activity. While
the laggards are nursing their dis
gust, the opponents Of the party have
been getting in their work. The re-
suit Is the natural outcome of one
party allowing itself to drift while
the other is at work.
Some of our people have gained
the very unfortunate impression
that they can support the Republican
candidates in spots without in any
way changing the result as regards
the party AS whole, the community
or the maintenance of strong con-
sentative principles In matters of
government. They have listened to
the argument that as Hawaii has no
vote in Congress, there is really no
necessity for partizan politics in the
Territory, and it is case of each
man for himself and the devil take
the last.
This line of talk has had its most
ready listeners on the Island of Ha-
wall. 1t is not surprising therefore
to find that the Republican party is
the most completely disorganized on
that Island, and the preacher of false
doctrines makes his greatest Roadway
among the voters of that County.
