A LONG SWIM ON HARD TERMS
Internal Revenue Deputy Goes Twelve Miles

A swim of more than twelve miles made yes

deputies of the internal revenue department 1t
started at the Brooklyn Bridge and ended a. mile
outside OF Coney Island. in the face of a heavy
tide that beginning to sweep in from the Lower
Bay.
The storm Of Saturday stirred up the Atlantic,
and savage tide was running all day Sunday,
against which it was difficult for launches TO
set their noses, and as result the attempt of Mr-
Duffy to make a record swim had to be abandoned
after he had forced his way along for four hours
and twenty minutes.
The start made at the bridge at s:o7 a. m.
but this was at least hour too late, and al
though for the first three hours ii made little diff
ference the tide was the food when Norton's
Point Coney Island reached, and from there
on it was a case of bucking that swung in
hard from the Lower Bay.

MISSING AFTER FIRE
Elmhurst Nan, Whose Home Vas
Burned, Nay Haze Net Foul Play.
sTUDEBAKER.

Following the mysterious burning of his home
Thursday last John Fitzgerald, who lived with
his wife and three children in cottage in Union
avenue Elmhurst Long Island, has disappeared,
and his friends and neighbors say he has either
met with foul play that he caught in the
fire which destroyed his dwelling.
Having sailed for Ireland before tht destruction
of their home, Mrs Fitzgerald and her three chill
dren are unaware of Mr.. Fitzgerald's disappear
ance. So strong has become the suspicion that Mr.
Fitzgerald met with violent death that Acting
Police Captain Mckay, of the Newtown precinct
has had the ruins searched for some trace of him
The search was in vain.
Fitzgerald was about forty-five years old He
was employed a boss mechanic by the Manhat-
tan Refrgerating Company, in West street, Man
haitian. His home IN Union avenue, was a new two
and a half story frame cottage. which he car
red Insurance 5000. The police report the loss
by fire on the house and furniture $500.
Diagonally the way in Union avenue Is the
confectionery store Of Henry Schroeder. to whom
Fitzgerald intrusted several hundred dollars for
safekeeping during his wifes absence Mrs F1tz-
gerald had not been gone week when early on
Thursday morning persons living Fitzgerald's
home were startled by the report of an explosion
in or near his cottage A moment later the place
broke out in flames So quickly did the building
burn that it was beyond saving before the arrival
of the firemen.
Following the fire. Mr.. Schroeder naturally ex-
pected TO see Mr. Fitzgerald, but he could not
find him. Inquiry was made everywhere, but no
one had seen the missing Early on the night
of the fire he had handed additional sum of
money to Mr.. Schroeder for safekeeping.
Mr.. Fitzgerald failed to report for duty at his
place of employment and on Saturday. when no
one called for pay envelope. the police and fire
marshal decided search the ruins. His friends
think he may have been lured to some out of the
way place and murdered, and that his assailants
failing to find the money him, later ransacked
the house. which they set fire. It is probable
that another search of the ruins may be made
this morning.

FORMER GOVERNOR
HITS CONGRESSMAN
at Charges Made by Frank
Clark in Speech.

Jacksonville, Fla, May 1S-Con
gresham Frank Clark of the second
Florida district, was belabored with
his own walking stick by Ex-Governor
w. S. Jennings. cousin of w. J..
Bryan, in the lobby of the Hotel Ara
gon yesterday afternoon.
Clark has been bitterly assailing
those opposing him for reelection. He
spoke at the opera house Saturday
night. and among those he attacked
was Ex-Governor Jennings. Clark re-
viewed the public career of Jennings
and said the Ex-Governor had genius
for grating
When Jennings learned of Clark S
charges he announced that he intended
to whip the congressman. The ex-gov-
ernor called at the hotel and found
Clark surrounded by crowd in the
lobby
did you call me a grafter?" asked
Jennings.
81 did, replied Clark.
"You are a liar! cried Jennings, as
| he snatched the heavy cane Clark was
carrying and began to use it forcibly
on the congressman head and shoul
ders.
| After Jennings had dealt Clark sew
eral blows the bystanders recovered
from their surprise and stopped th'
fight.
| Clark says the matter shall not rest
and many fear there will be furthe
trouble between the men.

Replied RationaIIy to Questions
Asked by Jerome, Which
Were Few.
ATTORNEY WAS AsTUTE
Sought to Get Examination by
Alienists Before
Judge.

Poughkeepsie, n. Y, May 1S.-Har-
ry K Thaw's plea for his liberty from
Mattewan insane asylum, where he
has been confined since his acquittal
of the murder of Stanford White on
the ground of insanity, will probably
be decided by Judge Morschauser on
Monday, May 25. The hearing in the
habeas corpus proceedings brought by
counsel for Thaw ended late Saturday
night, after District Attorney William
Travers Jerome of New York had
made the sensational request that
Thow, whom he had called to the
stand, permit his alienists to examine
the Pittsburger and to judge of his
mental condition because they had
had no opportunity to converse with
| the defendant.
Silence is Ordered.
Thaw was not permitted to respond,
the court itself instructing him not to
do so. Judge Morschauser suggested,
however, that Thaw consult with his
counsel and that perhaps they might
decide it wise to grant the request.
Thaw and his lawyers, Graham and
Peabody, and Drs. Pilgrim, Evans and
Jelliffe, who had testified that Thaw
was sane, went into the judges pri.
vate room and after conference last.
ing little over an hour, came back
Into the court room and said that
Thaw would submit to a personal ex
animation, but not by the alienists
who had appeared for Mr.. Jerome
The alienists to make the examina
ton they stipulated must be some
who had never appeared in the case
Another condition was that the exam
ination be restricted to a persona
study of the relator and be not found
ed on testimony of previous trials.
Instantly Rejects Proposal.
District Attorney Jerome instantl.
rejected these terms, saying he woult
deserve to be committed to an asylum
himself if he accepted them and there
, the question ended.
