from London on the charge of having
obtained an automobile on a worthless
check, was sentenced today to fifteen

documents to show his worthy char
acter and that he was well connected

his reference causing much interest be-
cause of the charges of bossism being

1.-THE boss is repulsive figure in our
political life," he said, but no boss
could hold sway for a year without
the indifference of large body of citi-
zens and without the cooperation of
large business or other interests.
ut is their great wish to deal with
single individuals who dictate the ac-
ton Of the different agencies of the

IN return these supporters of the
bosses are willing to give great larg-
esses in the way of campaign contribu-
tions and bring to the support of its

WOMAN VICTIM OF MOST
PECULIAR ACCIDENT KNOWN
New Yorker Sustains Serious Cut in
Leg from Dressmaker's Knife
Left in SeaIskin
Garment

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-Mrs. Freder-
lex e. Belcher, wife of the secretary of
a music publishing company of this
city, was seriously injured while seat
ed in a subway train last night in one
of the most peculiar accidents on rec
ord.
Mrs. Belcher was seated by her hus-
band, when she screamed suddenly and
grasped her left leg.
AS passengers stared she cried
family, Il am bleeding; it is in my
coat" Then she tainted.
The train was stopped at the next
station and the unconscious woman
was carried to a bench on the plat
form, leaving a trail of blood behind
her. Mr.. Belcher, frightened and mys-
titled as to the cause of the accident,
bent over his wife and found a six
inch cut in the calf of the leg.
Bandaging the wound hastily, he
summoned a physician, but before the
doctor arrived the wound continued to
bleed so freely that a policeman found
1t necessary to take his night stick, by
means of which he hastily improVised
a tournaquet
Examination of Mrs. Belcher's coat
in the meantime revealed the point of
a sharp penknife sticking through the
silk lining.
1t is supposed that some one who
had a hand in making the garment,
which is sealsl1in, left the knife by ac-
cident in the folds, where it was sewed
up unnoticed.
