JOHN B. WO0LSTON
SHEDS LIGHT ON
COMING ELECTIONS
County Clerk Issues Statement
to Voters and Election
Officers.

AS considerable confusion exists
garding the coming special election,
County Clerk John B. Woolston today
prepared this statement:
'The county clerk and his clerks
have been working late at night for
the past three months arranging the
different blanks and stationery for
distribution to the several boards of
registry and election in the 229 dis
tricts throughout the county for their
use and for the special and general
elections.
Mr.. Woolston has been called upon
by the Board of Registry and Election
to answer numerous questions regard
ing the special election, concerning the
registration and other important mat
ters concerning the same.
THE boards seem to be in doubt
what register they will be compelled
to use at the special election. The
boards of registry and election of the
several election districts throughout
the county will be required to meet at
the polling places on September 7 from
l o'clock in the afternoon to 8 o'clock
at night, for the purpose of revising
and correcting the old registry books
of the general election of 1903, which
were filed in the county clerks office,
and this Is the registry book that the
several boards will be required TO use
for the special election to be held Sep
tember IA, at which election the sew
eral amendments to the Constitution
of the State viii be submitted to the
voter.
"These registry books will be dellv-
cred by the county clerk to the several
boards at their polling places on Tues
day, September 7, between the hours of
1 o'clock and o'clock p. m, together
with the official ballots and blank state
ments for returns for the special cleo
ton. and the several boards have been
notified to be on hand to receive the
same.
1.-THE blank certificates of transfers
for the use of voter removing from
one election district to another, since
the last election, furnished by the
county clerk for the general election.
should be used for the special election,
for they are general in form.

tary of state to the county clerk for

number two hundred and sixty seven
thousand, and weighed about eight tons.
These the county clerk viii be COM
PEELED to deliver in automobiles TO the
various polling pie, es, on September Z.
The county clerk has selected this day,
it being the best day on which to de-
liver the same, as they viii find the
boards at their various polling places.
The law requires him to deliver them
one week before the special election"

SECRET STRIKE IN
SHOE FACTORY
Forty-nine Lasters Out for More
Pay-Both Sides Are
Reticent.

A strike with both sides trying to
avoid publicity, is the peculiar state
of affairs that exists in the Johnston
& Murphy shoe factory, in Lincoln
street Just a week ago today the last
ers, forty nine in number, requested
that they be given one-half cent more
per pair of shoes on which they work,
but without even taking the matter un-
der consideration, it is said the firm
refused.
s The leaders threatened to go out in
case their demands We're not granted,
but were told they might do so. They
struck that afternoon.
1t was thought that the whole affair
would be settled today, when a commit
tee of the strikers went to consult with
the firm, but when it reported back to
the assembled men at their hall at 232
Springfield avenue, they had evidently
received no favorable answer.
.'As long as the firm refrains from
bringing in other men to take our
places, we are satisfied to keep out of
the papers," said one of the leaders.
They cannot keep up the affair very
long for the very good reason that all
the other departments depend upon
our work before they can go ahead with
their own. They will soon feel the eff
fects of the strike"
Inquiry was made at the Office of the
firm concerning the trouble, but moth
ing could be learned.

Halter WHO TRIED
SUICIDE SEEKS JOB
Urged by Wife Who Laughed at
His Suicide Attempt, He
Starts Out Today.

Joseph Karhowsky, of West Kinney
street near Prince street who three
times sought death by hanging and
then desisted because his wife laughed,
Karhowsky is a striking halter,
and he has been out of work
eyer since the trouble between the hat
manufacturers and their employees be-
gan, over eight months ago. Mrs. Kar-
howsky has been doing the work and
Supporting the family, and when she
objected at her husband making toe
much of a vacation of his period of
fdleness, he pretended that he was try
ing to slip off the mortal coil by slip
ping on a coil of clothesline.
II was. reported to Judge Herr in the
Fourth Precinct court by no less an
authority than Karhowsky himself,
that his wife went into paroxysms of
laughter every time he tried to dis
pose of himself First he tried hanging
with a strap, then with a clothesline.
and finally with dull kitchen knife.
Mrs. Karhowsky chortled at the first
attempt. laughed aloud at the second
and fairly threatened to split her sides
at the third. Karhowsky quit cold
after that and declared that If a man
couldn't get any sympathy from his
wife when he was in the throes of
death, he didn't think she was worth
dying for. Mrs. Karhowsky was not
laughing today when her picture was
taken. Possibly that was because her
husband didn't succeed yesterday, but
she did not say so.
Il knew Karhowsky too well to think
for a minute that he had nerve enough
to kill himself" said Mrs Karhowsky
today. Il had given him a good scold
ing for hanging around the house and
letting me support him and our chill
dren. and he wanted to appeal to my
sympathy A man who is in earnest
about committing suicide doesn't call
a crowd around to watch him die, and
/ laughed at Karhowsky just to show
him that he didn't have me hoodwinked
for single minute. I hope he has
learned a lesson and will get that job
he said he went out to look for today"
q Karhowsky's troubles became public
property yesterday in a peculiar man
ner. A neighbor who was passing the
sons where his father was, to which
the youngster, without looking up from
his play, replied.
Hes up in the attic. hanging him-
self"
Following which remarkable state
ment the neighbor dashed madly up
the stairs and found 1t was apparently
So Karhowsky was strung up to
rafter by clothesline and was begin
ming to get purple in the face, while
Mrs Karhowsky could not speak for
laughter. The neighbor cut Karhowsky
down, but the latter ran for butcher
knife and apparently tried to cut his
throat The knife was dull, and since
this performance had begun to get on
the nerves of the neighbor he sum-
moned the police. In court Karhowsky
admitted he had been shamrning.

VICTIM OF GAS
IS FOUND DEAD IN
BED BY HIS WIFE
Mrs. Patten Finds Husband I'M
conscious in Home, with
Jet Turned On.

With the gas in his room turned on
full force, John Patton, 56 years old
was found dead in his home, 261 North
Fifth street, today. His wife declares
his death was accidental. County
Physician Mckenzie upheld her in this
contention.
Patton. who was manager for TIE
Arlington stables, In Fourth avenue.
near Belleville avenue, returned from
work last night complaining that he
did not feel we'll His wife made him a
cup Of tea and he retired Several hours
later Mrs. Patton retired to her own
room, adjoining that of her husband.
According to the story told by Mrs.
Patton today, she awoke about s: 80
a. m. and, detecting the odor of gas,
began an investigation. She traced the
fumes to the room Of her husband, and
found him lying on the bed unconscious.
Mrs. Patton screamed. and George
Gasser, who lives on the floor below,
hurried upstairs. Mrs. Patton and
Gasser carried Patton to the rear
porch. DR. Edward F.. Fitzpatrick of
574 Warren street, was summoned. A
hurry call was sent the City Hospital,
and both physicians worked over the
man for nearly half an hour, but were
unable to revive him. County Ply
sican Mckenzie was notified.
Mrs Patton said that when she en-
tered the room of her husband the door
leading to the hallway was open, and
Judging from the condition of the room
her husband must have gotten up dur
ing the night. The police, however
claim that when they entered the
house the odor of gas was strong. At
the Arlington stables it was said that
Patton had been in their employ for
thirty years, and, as far as was known,
there was no reason for his act. Neigh
bors of the Pattons said they were a
devoted couple, and had never heard
them quarrel. Patton had lived nearly
all of his life in this city.

BURNED PLAYING
WITH MATCHES, TOT
DIES IN AGONY
Six-Year-Old Mary Nestor, Who
Disobeyed Father, Expires in
Beth Israel Hospital.
FIVE SCORCHED TRYING
TO SAVE HER LIFE
Despite Parents Command Child
Wanted "Fun Just One
More Time."

Mary Nestor. years old. who was
terribly burned while playing with
matches in the back yard of her home,
1o2 Baldwin street, yesterday, died early
today in the Beth Israel Hospital II
was seen when she was brought to the
hospital late in the afternoon that no.lr-
ing could be done for the little one, but
her vitality was such that she fingered
through the night, dying at 5 a. m
Five others. including the child's father
and mother. had their hands burned
trying to save the girl.
In her neighborhood there are living
many of Mary's relatives, and as she
was pretty little girl of sunny dispo-
sition she was the pet of every one who
knew her. 1t was not often that there
was any occasion to say anything to
Mary about what she must not do, as
she was a very obedient little girl, but
yesterday her father had told her posi-
lively that she must never again play
with matches. Perhaps this very com
mand inspired the little one to have
some fun. just one more time with the
bright playthings.
She was playing in the back yard In
sand pile late yesterday afternoon
when suddenly she screamed and rar
toward the house. her little cotton dress
in flames. J. Philip Brown, who lives
on the top floor of the Nestor house
saw the flaming child from his window
and ran to the rescue The screams
had attracted others and Brown had nu
more than begun to attempt to beat out
the flames when the child's parents, her
aunt, Miss Nellie Byron, from the next
house, and Frederick Moser, of LOG
Baldwin street, reached the scene.
While the bays dress was still burn
ing the frantic mother seized the little
one in her arms and was severely
burned. 1t was only after the child's
clothing had been torn from her that
the flames were extinguished. Moser
and Mrs John Bien, Mary's aunt, car
red her to Beth Israel Hospital, where
the child died today.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Nestor and Miss
Byron, Moser and Brown were burned
about the hands and were attended by
a physician.

PROPOSED BIG GAS
MERGER WILL NOT
AFFECT CONSUMER
1J Service President Issues
V(Statement Explaining
~ Plan.
CHANGE TO LIGHTEN
WORK OF OFFICIALS
Success of Experiment in the
Railway Department Leads
to Decision.

A formal statement was given out
today by Thomas N. McCarter, presi-
dent OF the Public Service Corpora
ton, concerning the plans for giant
merger of all the gas companies the
corporation now controls or leases.
The plan, he says, is to transfer the
stock and legal documents of gas prop
critics now held or leased by the cor
poration to the Public Service Gas
Company. This means that the gas
department will be conducted as a
separate company in the same manner
as the street railway company is now
conducted. The change will in no wise
affect the gas consumer. 1t is done
to facilitate the work of the officials
President McCarter's statement is as
follows:
"The facts in reference to the re-
organization of : the gas department
of Public Sefvice Corporation are
simply these:
Public S6rvice is at this time the
direct lessee lof all it's constituent gas
companies just as it is the lessee of it's
constituent electric properties. Some
