Street Commissioner Mclean of the
Western district had a crew Of men
at work yesterday forenoon for the
purpose of cleaning out the obstruc-
ton OF the W3ter street sewer. Hose
was attached to the hydrant III front
of the Whitman & Adams Co store and
the sewer flushed from that point with
the result that the trouble was re-
moved. 1t was not ascertaincd just
where the cause of the trouble was, but
it was located at some point between
the MesserPerley store and Market
square, and was supposed to be sand.

from Hillside.
FIRED AT AS HE FELL;
CROWD POWERLESS TO AID
AerOnaut Is Finally Rescued
with a ROpe-Man Struck
by Bullet.

Chubby Cook, the balloonist who
makes aerial flights from Hillside Park,
was very near death when he dropped
from his balloon into the mire of the
Kearny meadows about 10 last night
and remained there, unable to extricate
himself. until early today.
In addition, some one fired two shots
at him as he was falling, one bullet
striking a young man who lives In
Harrison, but who refused to give his
name or go to a hospital
Cook made his ascension shortly be-
fore 10 O'Clock last night. The breeze
carried his balloon toward Kearny, and
eventually settled on the meadows
there. Cook fell in the mire and fioun-
dered about, calling for help, each
movement he made only imbedding him
the deeper. His cries drew a number
of persons to the spot, but none of
them would venture to help the man,
for fear of their lives. Eventually
someone telephoned to Hillside Park,
and party with a rope went to Cook s
assistance and pulled him out, after
several hours Imprisonment. He was
thoroughly exhausted from his strug-
giles, but was uninjured.
The police are trying to locate the
miscreant who shot at him, but have
no clew as yet.

NEW YORK, July "a youth of 90
years, who described himself as Nathan
Levine, a student of languages and the
son of retired manufacturer, and who
told the police he had robbed nearly
every f1rst-class hotel in this city dur
ing the past few weeks, was captured
in a rom on the fourteenth floor of the
Hotel Belmont today, after he had
bound woman in bed and was about
to loot the apartment.
Early this morning Mrs. Mostyn
Cookson, who, with her husband, Major
j Cookson. of the First Royal Sussex
/ Regiment. England, occupied the room
! adjoining that OF Levine on the four
teenth floor Of the hotel. was awak-
ened by q sudden flash Of light In her
face
A revolver pressed ngainst her FORE

I had been bound, but as the visitor was
about to press a gag into her mouth
she screamed. Her husband, who had
been sleeping in q bed at the other side
of the room and who had not been seen
by the robber sprang on Levine before
he could turn around and bore him to
the floor. The men were fighting des-
perately when hotel employees who had

to Cookson's assistance. A moment
later the police came.
Had Packed Up $4,000 Loot.
When Levine was arraigned in court
the managers of several hotels ap-
peared and told of recent robberies in
their houses. Major Cool1son also told
of his experience with Levine and said
the young man had secured iewelry
valued at $1,000 in his room before he
was captured.
When the prisoner was searched the
police found one of the most complete
outfits for use in sneak thievery that
ever came into their possession. 1t con-
sisted of two revolvers, . box Of red
pepper, a dagger, two electric lanterns
and O number of vials containing sleep
producing potiOns.
The police say the young man made
no attempt to conceal his guilt and
told them frankly of dozen other rob-
berries in which he had been involved.
He intimated that II was to raise funds
to enable him to keep mp appearances
before a certain young woman that
caused him to turn to a career of crime.
Protects Girls Name.
He refused to divuge the girls
name, however, and begged the police
not to question him about her. "It Will
break her heart If she learns of my dis
grace" said he.
Levine went to the Belmont yester-
day afternoon and after registering
under another name asked to be as
signed to a room near fire escape.
He was strikingly dressed in a cream
colored flannel suit, wore much jewelry
and appeared to be well supplied with
money.

Governor Sees No Immediate De-
mand for Action on Needs
of State Institutions.
RECEIVES FINANCIAL
REPORT OF COMPTROLLER
Trenton Home for Girls and
Vineland Soldiers Home Only
Ones Requiring Special Aid.
Especial to the Evening star.l

TRENTON, July s.--There will be no
special session of tho Legislature TO
consider the financial needs of New
Jersey institutions. Governor Fort to-
day gave out this statement:
within the past two weeks the
comptroller, at my request. has had
each of the State institutions make q
report of their financial condition at
this time with full estimate of their
anticipated needs prior to October 81.
1910, the period to which the general
appropriation bill OF 1908 is intended to
carry them.
with the exception of the State
Home for Girls. at Trenton, and the
Soldiers Home, at Vineland, the State
institutions are not in immediate need.
The insight which these statements
have given me will enable me to present
the matter as to further appropriations
In a clear light L hope. and thus here
after avoid any financial shortages or
complications in any institution. There
may always be some divergence be-
tween the amount appropriated and the
possible needs of an institution for
over a year after the appropriation 10
made II the inmates increase. as they
may, a shortage will. of course. result
1T Is in my view always unwise to
call an extra session of the Legislature
except under some imperative neces
sity. Provision can be made, no doubt
for meeting the needs of any State in
stitution until next November, and the
Legislature, by it's first act in January.
can supply the needed legislation. At
least unless conditions become more
acute than at present, no special session
of the Legislature will be called"

fled to police headquarters with the
parcel.
With him was his pretty stepdaugh-
ter, Jeanette DogOrnO, 1S years old, who
was not in the least frightened and who
had been one of the objects aimed at by
the bIacI<maiIers.
When the package was opened in the
tive Sergeants Cordano and Farrell il
was found to contain nothing more
than a roll OF putty and a note ad-
dressed to Miss Bogorno, processing un-
dying love and concluding:
IF you do not marry me, you will
marry no one else, for I will kill you.'
A letter addressed to the young lady

The swain who wooed Miss Bogorno
with these epistles also wrote the let
ters to her stepfather, and it is ap-
parent that he proposed to have the
stepfather pay the expenses of the
honeymoon.
In each of the letters the demand
was made for 81 900, with the threat to
destroy him and his family.
The first threat was received by Cir
incione on July 2. The letter was of the
usual BLACK Hand" character, con-
tanning pictures, rudely drawn in red
ink, of daggers and bombs, while two
black hands also ornamented 1t.

Under pain of death Cirincione was
ordered to deposit $1,000 In bills at

The baker paid no attention to the
mssive, but when ne received another
repeating the threat he grew alarmed.
The latest letter ordered the money
deposited at the given spot last night.
Determined not to be blackmailed the
baker did not keep the appointment.
His fears of violence were increased,
however, when in today's mail came
the mysterious package addressed to
his stepdaughter The latter desired
to open It, but Cirincione refused per-
mission and fastened with it to police
headquarters.

First Outdoor Concert of the Year to

The first of a series of outdoor
concerts to be given in the park, this
summer will be held in the park to-
morrow night. The city council a
short time ago made provision for an
expense of $50 per month for this
purpose.
The Wenatchee Military band is
one of the acquisitions of which the
valley may well be proud. They fur
nish the music gratis, the small
amount provided by the council be-
ing only, enough to pay the expenses
for music and other necessaries. The
music furnished by the organization
is of a kind concerning which there
need be no apology. In fact, it is
justly claimed that Wenatchee has
one of the best amateur bands in the
northwest.

Ed Harris, one of the two knights

Judge Palmer. Harris was charged
with having stolen a sack full of brass
from the C.. & o. company.
After having heard the evidence in
the case, the judge imposed a SEN
tence of 33 days. On hearing the
sentence the prisoner had few
words to say:
