When sixteen year-old William HOOla-

fined 81 for disorderly conduct by Magis-
trate Herbert in the night court last
night he had only six cents in his peck
cts, and he did not much relish having
to spend the night in a cell. AS he was
being led into the prison he waved his
hand 10 a bunch Of small boys sitting in
the rear Of the courtroom. He put up
two fingers Of his right hand and then
snapped his thumb against them. That
meant two bones"
The kids" in the back row immedi-
ately got busy and emptied their pock-

NEGRO ATTACKS GOVERNESS
Her Employer Rises from Sick
Bed to Protect Her.

Henry Roster. a former Park Commits
sioner and former Supervisor Of Yonkers.
arose from a sick bed early yesterday
morning in response to the cries for help
Of Mary Kostrick a governess. who had
been attacked by negro in bedroom
on the lower floor of the Roster home,
No 10 Locust Hill avenue. Roster
seized a rife and rushed to the lawn.
where he encountered a burly negro. who
later gave his name as Robert Cham
hers. Of Bridgeport, Conn Roster
backed the fellow up against a fence
and kept him there until policeman ar
rived in response 10 a telephone call by
Rosters son, and arrested the man.
Roster has been seriously i'll with the
grip. and the experience has made his
condition critical. Miss Kostrick, in re-
sisting the negro, was beaten over the
head with a bottle. receiving two cuts on
the forehead. Neither she nor Roster
was able to appear against Chambers,

THE DE CATCHY SCANDAL
Police Make Search OF Couples
Chateau at St. Cyr.
MANY PAINTINGS SEIZED
Letters Also Found-Pictures
Said to Have Spurious Inscrip-
tions-Career in France.

Tours. France, April 1.-THE arrest OF
Count and Countess de CATCHY at the
instance OF Mrs. Charles Hamilton Paine,
formerly of Boston, but now of Paris. on
the charge of misrepresentation in con-
nection with the sale of paintings. al

has caused a great sensation. The de
Gatignys. with their four children. lived
lavishly and gave many entertainments.
A magistrate ordered to-day a search
of their chateau at St Cyr-sur-Loire.
and this resulted in the seizure of ex-
tenslve correspondence and many value
less paintings. some of which are said to
have been labelled with notices intended
to prove their authenticity, as if they
were intended TO be sold In the United
States
Count de Gatigny has been regarded
as a man of mystery. He is said to have
been born in London in 1867. He was a
great traveller. and sometimes went
under the name of Prince Lusignan and
Prince Borghetto. His wife. who was a
Miss Lunt, was born in Boston in 1869.
They were married in 1895. Their enter
tainments. which were attended by all
the aristocracy, in their gayly lighted
and finely furnished chateau. have long
been the talk of the country Several
wears ago Mr.. Paine. who had passion
for paintings. visited the chateau and
was struck by the wonderful art gallery,
the greater part Of which he purchased.
An expert who examined the collection
at Mr.. Paine's Paris home said that the
alleged Corots, Correggios. Murillos and
Titians were spurious.
Other accounts say that de Gatigny's
nationality is not known. He speaks
English ffuently and French with diff
Guilty. He spends most Of his time in the
composition of music, which he pub
fishes in London. to which city he makes
frequent trips.
The Countess de Gatigny made the aC-
ouaintance of Mrs. Paine in Boston
three years ago. The latter brought her
husband TO the chateau. with the result
that he entered into an agreement with
the count whereby he rented the pict-
ures for $4,000 yearly, afterward buying
outright CCrreggios 'Sleep Of Antiope.' -
De Gatigny, it is, alleged. assured Mr..
Paine that the sleep of AntiOpe" in
the Louvre was spurious. After his
death Mrs. Paine wished TO terminate
the agreement, and litigation ensued. in
the course of which experts were called

Philadelphia, April 17.-Although the
competed,couut of the referendum vote OF
the striking car men showed that the mo-
tormen and conductors had voted against
accepting the terms offered by the Rapid
Transit Company and returning to work.
the local executive committee of the Anal
gamated Association Of Street and Electric
Railway Employees tonight adopted a
resolution declaring that the offer of the
company should be accepted.
The action of the local committee was
ratified by the national executive commit
tee of the Garments Union in Detroit.
The terms under which the men will re-
turn to work are substantially the same
as were offered to them in a letter sent TO
Mayor Reyburn by President Kruger of
the Rapid Transit Company, four weeks
ago.
The resolution declares that it is the
opinion Of the committee that in view OF
the present situation the terms OF the com
pany should be accepted. The first count
Of the ballots showed that there was a
majority Of nine against return!ns TO WORK.
A recount was ordered and the majority
was reduced to seven.
The executive committee, composed of a
representative from each Of the nineteen
car DdInS IN the CITY idu NobCu VII A0H'
Thursday night in favor OF accepting the
terms which representatives of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor had induced the
company TO hold open. although the men
had in mass meeting already voted
against accepting them.
It was believed that the influence OF the
Garments leaders would be strong enough
to secure a ratification of their action IN
the referendum vote which had to be taken
under the constitution of the carmen $
union In the northeastern section OF the
city. where trade untOnism is strong and
where nightly attacks have been made on
the cars in operation. tine strikers were
averse TO accepting the terms. Whlch they
said amounted TO a surrender.
In view of the ClOseness of the vote ana
the many Irregularities which the commit
tee said had been shown, il was deched 10y
the barn representatives TO ignore the re
suit and declare the terms accepted
After the passage of the resolution Presl-
dent Driscoll of the local carmen union

work will AXE place.

President Garretson. of the order Of
Railway Conductors. who reached here
from Scranton. Penn late last night.
issued a statement explaining why the
strike had been abandoned, as follows:
A strike which was to have included con-
ductors. trainmen, yardmen, engineers and
firemen Of the Delaware, Lackawanna *
Western Railroad was ordered for u;i5
Eastern time. tonight. but a settlement
was reached. The company granted the
full demands of the men, with an agree
ment to accept the award of the arbitratorS
in the New York Central dispute.
Mr.. Garretson explained that the in
creases asked for by the Lackawanna
men were substantially the same as
those requested by men of the Central.
and therefore it was a logical move TO
submit the question 10 the same arbitra-
tors. as il were.
In confirmation Of President Garrett
sons statement the Lackawanna issued
this statement late last night: .. ..
Subject 10 the concurrence OF the arhi-
traitors. a compromise understanding has
been reached between the LaCkawanna
Railroad Company and its conductors and
trainmen. whereby the Lackawanna is 10
be represented in the New York Central
arbitration and TO be governed thereby.
Up to the time Of the compromise. the
men Of the Lackawanna We're all primed
for immediate action. and their plans for
the threatened strike were complete. Every
man was awaiting a cipher message 20
come along the line. saying the strike was
on. The trainmen and conductors said that
the engineers and firemen would have gone
out with them. in sympathy, as they were
i'm honor bound 10 do.

NO LACKAWANNA STRIKE |
Company Agreed to Abide by
New York Central Award.
MEN SENT AN ULTlMATUM
Trainmen Ordered to Quit Last
Night, but Company Yielded
Before Time Expired.

Scranton. Penn. April IT, There will
be no strike on the Delaware. Lacka-
wanna & Western Railroad. This de-
cision was reached tonight when Cen
-ral Superintendent T. r. Clarke. or rne
Lackawanna Company informed W. q.
Lee. OF the trainmen that his company
would abide by the award of the New
York Central.
An ultimatum was sent late this
afternoon to Superintendent Clarke no
tifying him that unless the Delaware.
Lackawanna & Western Company would
abide by the rate decided upon by the
New York Central Company strike
would be called on the entire system, be-
ginning at 11:45 O'Clock tonight. ..
Mr. Clarke sent word at $3.50 o'clock
10 Mr.. Lee that his company would agree
to the New York Central award. Word
was then telegraphed to all points
Withdrawing the strike order. which it
is said was issued at s o'clock.
George A. Cullen. general passenger
agent Of the Lackawanna. explained for
the company after the strike order had
been revoked that the Lackawanna, by
the terms OF the compromise. had not
agreed TO accept whatever award was
made to the New York Central employees.
Precisely on this point had arisen the
previous failure Of both the Lackawanna
and its men To agree to arbitration. said
Mr.. Cullen. The classification of wage
schedules on the New York Central and
the Lackawanna differed widely. and
what might be just for the Central and
its employees might well apply inequi-
ably. TO the Lackawanna- Therefore the
company had insisted on representa-
ton on the New York Central board Of
aIbitrators. BY this provision the terms
Of the award would be sure to apply
equally TO both companies and their
men.
W. G. Lee. Of the Brotherhood Of
Trainmen, left late tonight for New
York. Before leaving Mr.. Lee said:
Il have in my pocket the documents
showing that Mr.. Clarke will abide by
any award that may be made to the en-
! ployes Of the New York Central Rail-
road"
