BOY BROWNS IN
CRAWFORD POND;
TWO ARE SAVED
Youngsters We're Sliding on
Thin Ice-DougIas Meyer
Loses His Life.

CRAWFORD, Jan. 27.-One boy was
drowned and two others narrowly es-
capped the same death when ice in the
Railway river gave way under them
here yesterday. OF the two youngsters
dragged from the water alive one was
brought back tosa normal condition only
after physicians worked over him for
hours. The last of the trio vas dragged
to land a minute or SO after his duck
ing and thus, save for his wet and
chilly garments, he was unframed.
1t was Douglas Meyer, 10 years old,
of Crawford, who was drowned. His
companions were Charles Drake, jr,
and Thomas Osborne, both 12 years old.
The three boys are pupils in a school
near the Railway River and at y%ester-
days noontime recess they decided to
try sliding on the ice of the stream.
But as they slid toward the middle OF
the river the ice became thinner and
! suddenly, with a cracking sound, an
area of several feet gave way under
their weight.
Boards and ropes speedily were got
for rescue work. Young Osborne caught
the first rope flung toward he boys
and Immediately was drawn to safety.
The Drake boy, however, lost con-
~sciousness and was dragged forth only
after many efforts Medical treatment
was obtained quickly and he was re-
vived. But little Meyer was swept un-
der the coating of ice and drowned in
a few moments. His body was recov-
cred offer q long search.

STEPHENSON LIKELY
TO WIN SENATE FIGHT.
Wisconsin Legislature to Meet
in Joint Session Today.

MADISON, Wis, Jan. 27.-Opinions
offer as to whether United States
Senator Isaac Stephenson was reelected
by yesterdays action of the separate
bodies Of the Wisconsin Legislature.
Opponents of Mr.. Stephenson claim
that as the sixteen senators did not
vote for any candidate the law was
violated, and therefore there was no
election.
On the other hand, the Stephenson
supporters claim thai their man was
elected when he received a majority
of the votes cast in each House. Both
branches of the Legislature were ex-
pected to meet in joint session today.
1t is said by some that If the Blaine
Senate resolution for an investigation
of the senatorial primary is adopted
by the Assembly the election of a
United States senator will be held up
pending such investigation.
In view Of the Assembly's action yes
terday killing the original investigation
resolution by q big majority, it is be-
lieyed the Blaine easur will stand
little chance of being adopted. The
chances looked favorable for Mr..
Stephenson's reelection today.

EDISON IN AUTO
IS NARROWED IN
new JERSEY nIRE
West Orange Wizard Rushing to
Sick Bed, Is Imprisoned in
Mud Near Burlington.

Thomas A, Edison, the inventor, OF
West Orange, has found that steering
an automobile over certain unimproved
New Jersey roads is q little more diff
cult han being an electrical wizard. He
took a specialist in his touring car to
Burlington to see Thomas Willard, a
relative, who is i'll.
Through some oversight of the Board
of ~Freeholders, the poorest roads in
Burlington county cluster most thickly
about Burlington City, and it was on
one of trese highways h a the Edison
machine got into trouble. For three
hours efforts to get it out of the clay
into which it settled were futile.
Finding the electrical magic had lost
it's powers in this instance, the party
were compelled to call upon nearby
farmers to dig out the wheels before the
car could proceed.

STRUCK JURORS IN
TWO IMPORTANT
CASES Requested
Prosecutor Mott Makes Motion
in Leo and WilsOn-Rad=
ford indictments.

Applications for struck juries were
made in two important criminal cases
in the two parts of the Court of Quar-
ter Sessions today. One was that
against DIR. James w. Wilson and
Stacy r, Radford, charged with
criminal practice upon Mrs. Peter
A. Merchant. This application came
before Judge Davis in Part ?. The
men were to have been put on trial to-
day, but Prosecutor Mott made the
motion for a struck jury and it pre-
vailed, Samuel Kalisch and Frank l..
Bradner, counsel for the accused men,
making no objection. 1t was decided
to strike the jury February 3 and try
the case twenty days later.
The other application was made by
Mr.. Mott before Judge Ten Eyck in
part 1 and covered the Indictment
against Michael Leo, charged with the
murder of his bride, whom he is al
legged to have burned to death for the
sake of the insurance On her life. The
trial is set down for February 8, and
the court remarked that it would de-
eide In a day or two whether or not to
allow the APPLICATION, as former Judge
Thomas S. Henry, who, together with
Judge Simon Hahn, are counsel for the
defendants, made strenuous objection.
Mr.. Mott said that the case was a
very complicated one and needed more
than the ordinary jury talent to de-
eide, and that mis- application was in
no way p%rejudicial to the defense,
while Mr.. Henry insisted that if Il
struck jury is drawn in this case the
State might as well draw one in every
other case.

FRANK HOLT BUYS
BUILDING WHERE
He ONCE WORKED
JeWeler Purchases Property at
Southwest Corner of Broad
and Cedar Streets.

Frank Holt, dealer in precious gems
streets, has purchased the property on
the southwest corner OF Broad and
Cedar streets. where he began work
as a youth. thirty-five years ago, with
William T. Rae. who had a jewelry
store at that corner for half a century,
and who retired from business several
years ago. P. J.. Garrigan had a drug
store in the building, which is a three
story brick, with low ceilings, for many
years.
Mr.. Holt said today that he viii con-
tinue at his present store, as long as
he can, maybe for ten years, if the
Federal Trust Company, which owns
the building and land, does not erect a
modern structure there before that time.
He has not decided what Improvements
he will make at Broad and Cedar
streets.
The property fronts ~twenty-four feet
on Broad street and runs west on Cedar
street ninety-two feet. 1t is a splendid
business corner, and in time a tall mer-
camille building may be erected there.
Mr.. Holt would not say what the
property cost him, but it is very valu-
able.
After working ten years for Mr.. Rae
in the latter's old store, Mr.. Holt opened
a store of his own in Academy street,
at the rear Of Mr.. Rae's. and opposite
the postofiice. He remained there
twenty-four years, and over a year ago
leased his present store and fitted it up
at large expense for his business.
Think of i'll" he said. 81 have bought
the building in which l began work as
a youth for Mr., Rae, thirty-hve years
ago, and some time in the future I shall
have my store in a new building on the
old corner"

some of them drew their knives, but
they quieted down, after they were in

after they were IN board the Baltic.
''There must have been more than
