min, P. @, was in the city yesterday

senting the committees who are planning
for the Champlain tercentenary celebra-
tion, laying before them proposition

gestions from old prints, for the Quebec
tercentennial celebration last year. II

draws about six feet OF water. Mr..

Americans for the Champlan tercenten-
ial celebration this year. With slight
changes, the boat could be made over
for regular lake service.
Last week it was offered for sale to
the New York tercentenary commission
for $4,000. If Mr.. Gravel cannot sell
the boat, he would entertain a PROPOSE.
tion to bring it here with crew in

COULD NOT AGREE
In Case Of Ex-policeman in New York
Charged with Murder.

New York, Jan. 22.--After six hours
deliberation, the jury in the case Of
David II. Shellard, former Brooklyn
policeman, charged with the murder Of
Barbara Reig, reported that it was inn
possible TO reach verdict, and was dis
charged. Shellard was recommitted to
Jail. Justice Crane, on motion of the
defendants counsel yesterday ruled that
the prosecution had failed to show pre-
meditation and instructed the jury that
it could convict only for second degree
murder or manslaughter.
The case grew out Of the shooting
Of Barbara Reig in shelter house in
Irving Park, Brooklyn, last July. His
defense was that the girl committed
suicide, using his revolver, because he
repulsed her infatuation for him. JUS
tice Crane ordered Sadie Lee, a witness
for the defense, committed to Jail on a
perjury charge. The girl admitted she
had periured herself when testifying be-
fore grand jury regarding the shooting.

Frank E. Gladding Had Narrow
Escape To-day
HEAD BADLY LACERATED
He Was 0iling the Derrick Machinery
and in Some Way Cot Drawn In
The Accident Happened at
His Plant.

Frank E. Glsdding, partner in the
Carswell- Wetmore company, granite
manufacturers, and superintendent OF
the companys plant ON Batchelder
meadow, had narrow escape from ser
ious injury and perhaps death this morn
ing. As IL was, the right side of his
head was badly cut and confused and
he was probably be disabled for some
time. The principal injury seems TO
be to his ear, which is completely slit
through the lower part.
He was alone when injured and no one
seems TO know just how the accident
happened. lie was probably oiling the.
bearings OF the main shaft to the hoist
ing gear which controls the derrick, and
in some way got caught. Probably as
he reached over to oil the bearing farth-
est from him, his gloyed hand was caught
between the pulley and belt and drawn
around, bringing his head into contact
with the sharp edge of the iron pulley.
This seems more likely, as his glove
was found on the side OF the shaft
farthest from him and the ends of two
fingers were somewhat jammed.
Another theory advanced is that he
slipped and the metal clamps that hold
the belt together struck the side of
his head. The torn ear would support
this theory.
The first intimation that any Of the
men had Of anything wrong was when
Weston Walker, who was working just
outside the door of the room, heard
groans, and going in found MIR. Gladding
lying on the ground in a semi conscious
condition. DR.. w. D. Reid was called
and took the injured man in his sleigh
to the latter's home on Washington
street DIR. L. L. Leonard was then
called to assist, and the two physicians
dressed the wound, which required about
Is stitches to close. No fractures were
discovered.
