NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-Proposals for

board of estimate today. The plans
involve the expenditure of nearly $780,
100000 for an aqueduct, 300 feet be-

supply, which, in few years, will be
available from the great Catskill res

be bored through solid rock. 1t will
run from the city's northern limits

Gypsies Engaged
In a Bitter
Feud

n HICAGO, Nov. 25.-There is feud
between two gypsy tribes with
Chicago and vicinity as the scene
of conflict. The alleged kidnapping
of 13-year-old Amelia Johnson from
her father Ephriam Johnson, in Eliz-
abeth, ~ j., three years ago, started
it. The arrest of Zalacho Demetro
on charge of stealing the girl ag-
gravated the feud.
Now Nichola George, his wife, and
three children said to be members of
Johnson's band of gypsies, are under
arrest and may be deported. They
were arrested yesterday when they
arrived in Chicago, presumably to aid
Johnson in getting his daughter back.
Demetro's nomads informed the au-
thorities that the Georges were snug
gled from Canada after being denied
admission by way of Detroit.
The gypsy girl stated to Judge Belt
Ter that she did not want to return
to her father, but preferred to live
with the Demetros, because she loved
| to travel.
Demetro declared his son was Ame-
las husband and that the girls ia
ther had been paid $4,000 for the
bride He said $4,000 was spent for
bridal feast. The girl and boy were
held to the juvenile court.

Pay Nearly Million
To Safe Sentiment
Three Daughters of Late Patrick Nc
Carthy Bid Excitedly for
Their Home.

CHICAGO, Nov. 25.-Stirred by a
sensational love for the ground on
which stood the old homestead in
which they had been born, three
daughters of the late Patrick Nc
Carthy fought successfully to retain
possession of this property yesterday
in one of the most exciting bidding
contests ever witnessed in the rooms
of the Chicago real estate board. They
finally bid in the property, which is
located at the northeast corner OF
Dearborn and Washington streets, for
100000, which is $4,000 in excess
of the value fixed by court appraisers.
This price breaks all records for
values in the loop district, except for
a few sites which have been sold in
recent years on State street, and is
declared by realty owners to have been
caused more by sentiment than by
actual value. The property was placed
on the block in accordance with a
decree for a partition sale, suit hav-
ing been begun by James j. Mccarthy
a brother of the three sisters, who bid
in the property.

Accidents Would STOP
If They Must Be
Paid for

k1EW YORK, Nov. 25.-Samuel
III Gompers, president of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, and A.
H. Gill, M. p, and prominent Eng
lish labor leader, are among those
who have expressed their views on
employers liability laws to the New
York Legislative commission investi,
eating the matter.
President Gompers said he believed
that if laws were passed which re-
quired employers to compensate en-
ployes injured, accidents would be
greatly diminished He said that in a
museum in Munich he had seen a
great variety of safety devices, which
he believed would lbe adopted by en-
ployers if the law required it.
Mr.. Gill, who gave his views at
length was instrumental in having
the English compensation law passed
in 1897. Employers, he said, had op-
posed the passage of the law, but that
the law was now popular and the
principle was approved by employers,
as well as employees generally.

pany mines, were made known this
afternoon. Battalion Chief Mcdonald,
after an inspection of the work by his
men who had been throwing water in
the east bottom of the mine for more
than week, advised mine inspectors
and the representatives of the coal
company that the water was not
reaching the fire and that he saw no
use of throwing water as it was mere
ly filling up the third vein Bodies
of the known dead in that vein are
already inaccessible because of the
quantity of water already thrown in
to the mine. To increase this amount
of water, Mcdonald said, would de-
lay recoverey of bodies indefinitely
Mr.. Williams of the Urbana Rescue
station, who had been keeping careful
note of gases formed in the mine, re-
ported that the fire had extended to
the coal pillars, forming dangerous
gases and making it perilous for res
cuers to continue their work.
After much discussion it was unan~
imously agreed that the only thing
that would make possible ultimate re-
coyery of the bodies in the mine was
to seal up both the main shaft and
the air shaft and keep them sealed un-
til the fire was smothered.
