Witnesses Say He offered 10 Get Fre Dc
partment Contracts for . RakeOh.
In the investigation Of the Fire DEPART
ment by the Commissioners Of Accounts
one Of the witnesses called yesterday was
Charles p. Griswold, a ~bookkeeper In the
Bureau OF Sewers. Gnswold was induced
TO visit Philadelphia to see a -Mr, S~ohaeher.'
who sought Mr.. Griswold's assistance In
getting contracts for supplies for the New
York Fire Department for a Pennsylvania
firm. F, Sheppard, an examiner in the
Department Of Accounts, impersonated
'Schaefer.' Sheppard says Griswold told
him he might be able TO help the Pennsyl-
vania Arm get some contracts.
Griswold acknowledged that he made the
visit TO Philadelphia and had a talk with
MIR. Sohaeier,' but he said he went merely
to discover just what the game was. When
he returned TO New York he wrote 10 mir.
Sohaeier' stating that he could be Of no as
sistanoe TO him. Sheppard admitted that
he had received such a letter from 0Hswold.
While Matt Donohue was the Tammany
leader Of the Seventeenth district Griswold
was one Of his principal ~lieutenants. GHs-
void vas asked yesterday by Commissioner
Mitchell II II was not a fact that he told
'Sohaefer' that through his leader he could
get contracts for as selling goods TO the Fire
Department and that ~three-quarters Of his
commission for obtaining such contracts
would go TO his leader. Griswold denied
that he had ever made any such statement,
but Sheppard insisted that he had and in
this assertion he was backed up by G. A.
WanDer, another examiner in the Depart
ment Of Accounts, who was hidden in a
closet while Griswold and Sheppard
we're talking together.

BROKE HANDC UFFS AND RAN
Prisoner Tore Loose From Detectives and
Raced for Liberty.

Prisoner Tore Loose From Detectives and
Raced for Liberty.
Jost Sattler, a prisoner who is wanted
in Switzerland on charges Of highway
robbery and attempted murder, broke away
from two Central Office detectives who
we're leading him into the jefferson Market
court yesterday morning and led them a
wild chase along Greenwich avenue before
he was captured.
Sattler was manaGed and accompanied
by Detectives L'Heureux and Dietoh. who
arrested him on Saturday. Behind him
was the Swiss Consul. Hermann Hsndrick.
As L'HeureuK stepped forward TO open the
prison door Sattler by a convulsive move
ment snapped apart his handouts and
slipped out Of his coat, on the collar Of which
Dietch had a grip. One shove sent the Swiss
Consul reeling down the steps, and with a
Jump Sattler was OF. He had turned into
Greenwich avenue before the detectives
grabbed their reyolvers and started after
him.
In a few seconds every lawyer, clerk and
loafer in the neghborhood was in full cry
after the fugitive. Sattler zigzagged from
one side Of the street to the other to keep
from getting shot, and thereby lost the
race. He made such little bee line progress
that the detectives saw that they would get
their man and did not shoot. They caught
him four blocks from the court and after a
struggle quoted him. He was handcufed
TO L'Heuneux when he returned TO court.
The Swiss Consul said that Sattler had
figured in a similar exploit in Switzerland
after being arrested for highway robbery.
On that occasion he tore apart his handouts s,
grabbed the club Of the policeman who
guarded him and knocked the policeman
sens eless.
Magistrate Barlow held the prisoner in
IS 900 bail for trial.

THE FORTY BEACHES OF NEW JERSEY.

The one hundred and twenty-five odd miles along the New
Jersey coast line from Long Branch to Cape May presents the
greatest pleasuring section in the United States.
Upon the bluffs Of the northern end and the gently shelving
sands Of the southern end are located forty resorts which enter
tain during the spring and summer season millions Of pleasure
seekers.
At no time in the year is this section more delightful than
during the spring and early summer months. One who has not
seen them at this season would marvel at their delights. The
great pine belt, which extends through the center Of New Jersey,
fills the air with ~lie-gving ozone, which, combined with the salty
tang Of the sea and the open air exercise possible at all times, is
exhiarating and tonic to the highest degree.
Long Branch, with its beautiful cottage -neighbors, West End.
Hollywood, and Elberon; Deal and Allenhurst, largely devoted TO
cottage life; Asbury Park and Ocean Grove, attracting thousands
yearly; Avon, Bemar, Como, Spring Lake and Sea Grit, are a
galaxy Of attractive places upon the bluffs where "the country
meets the sea-"
Then the Banegat Bay section, where Point Pleasant, Sea
Side Park, Island Heights, Banegat City and Beach Haven,
with other smaller places nearby, welcome the summer ojOurner.
Atlantic City, with It's seven miles Of beach and drives, and
its charming suburbs, leads the island resorts, separated from
the main land by the great salt marshes.
Ocean City, Sea Isle City, Avalon and Stone Harbor; Anglesea,
Wildwood, Holly Beach and Wildwood Crest also have q large
summer population.
And Cape May, with its new million dollar hotel and its won
deriul improvements, makes a fitting climax and holds a high place
among the forty beaches.
The Pennsylvania Railroad is the direct route to all OF these
resorts from all sections Of the country. Its splendid train service
makes each Of them neiGhbOr to al the rest and to the world At

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-An organ
lied movement against the wave of
prohibition which is now spreading
over the country is now being made

the object of which will be to fight
the prohibition movement.
The organization in New York is
known as the Manufacturers and

1t is proposed as soon as the legal
organizations are well under way
throughout the country, to organize
them into a national organization.
1t is said that large numbers of bus.

In this connection attention is
called to recently published state
ment of the distillers' securities
corporation to the effect that while
the prohibition movement lessons
the consumption of beer, it has had
at the same time the effect of in
creasing the demand for stronger
beverages.
