HIST! HARK! WHAT
DID GOV. FORT SAY
TO PROSECUTOR?
Court House Gossips Find
Chance for Speculation
in Secret Confab.

AT the Court House today many
cussed in conference lasting several
hours held yesterday afternoon be-
tween Governor John Franklin Fort
and Prosecutor Wilbur A. Mott, in the
prosecutors Office.
When the session of the Court of
Pardons at the Court House was con-
cluded the Governor went at once to
the office of the prosecutor. Court
House attaches gathered outside and
speculated in whispers as to what it
was all about.
Hist came from one of the prose-
cutor's sleuths, the Governors trying
to help out his son, who is counsel
for the women in the East Orange
bathtub mystery"
That's not it," said another. He is
q. New Idea Republican, and he is try
ing to help out DR.. Dill, Who is also
a New Idea man. and who may get
fired on charges of incompetency by
the Board of Freeholders for failure to
run the Hospital for the Insane the
right way
"All wrong" exclaimed a third, "l
understand that the judges of the
upper courts are polishing UP the civil
..crvice decision, and ne is talking about
that"
Rubbish" was the comment from
another chair, Its all about the skele-
ton; not the skeleton in the asylum. but
the skeleton in the Republican party.
That's what it's about
"a purely social visit. my dear sir >
said Prosecutor Mott today, when
asked about the ''hists." "The Gov
ernor attended a session of the Court
of Pardons and then came down to see
me. shake hands and talk over things
generally
Before the Governor, who was judge
of the Court of Common Pleas in the
old Court House. previous to his eleya-
tion to the Supreme Court bench, left
the building. u friend commented upon
the beauties Of the interior of the struc-
ture
Yes" was his answer as his eyes
swept over the mural adornments. 'It
looks kind of good. I may be here some
day"

IN REVOLVER DUEL
Running Fight in Street, Marked
by Lively Firing, Pre-

>
SAY SPOILS OF THEFT
WERE FOUND ON PRISONER
Two Other Suspects Rounded
Up as Men Who Escaped
During Fnsillade.

Heads were poked out of windows in
the vicinity of Mulberry and Mechanic
streets early today as police whistles
were blown and revolver shots were
heard. telling of fierce fight between
two officers and three men. one of
whom Is convict with a record. and
another who had In his possession, the
police say, the loot of a robbery COM
mitted a few hours before.
Roundsman Thomas Wilson and
Patrolman Patrick Henr'essey were at
Mulberry and Mechanic streets shortly
after o'clock this morning. when they
heard a shot and saw three men a hun
dred yards away on Mechanic street.
When the policemen ordered the men to
surrender they ran. Hennessey singled
out one fugitive, who later proved to
be Robert Murphy, and in his possess
sion, the police say, were several bot
ties of brandy which had been stolen
from the saloon of Louis Cappolo, at 3S
Adams street
As Hennessey gained on the man he
turned and fired. The bullet flew over
Hennessey's head. The fellow then
lodged and fired another shot at Will
son, who had been distanced in his
pursuit of the other two men.
For a few minutes a lively skirmish
was kept up. the policemen gradually
closing in on the fellow, occasionally
lodging behind barrels and into con-
venient doorways as Murphy peppered
away at them.
Finally when the policemen thought
that he had exhausted his supply of
ammunition they rushed" their man.
He had one shot left, however, and it
grazed Hennessey's ear. Hennessey
grabbed the fellow. but he was still
full of fight. as he swung the empty
gun in an effort to crack Hennessey's
skull. Both policemen hurled Them
selves on him and bore him to the
ground
Murphy was taken TO police head
quarters. where he refused to
tell his companions names, and drag
net was spread over the First Precinct
for the other two men. The police
gathered in John Walsh. 80 years old,
who described himself as button
maker. and Michael Tuohey, who said
he lived at 1856 Magnolia street, Eliza
beth.
Sergeants Ryan and Donovan identi-
fled Walsh as man they had arrested
OH June 16. 1902, on charge of break
ing and entering.
All three men were arraigned before
Judge Hahn in the First Criminal Court
today and each was held In default of
5000 bail for the grand jury

DOWN BILL FOR

Baldwin Says Cost of Running
Office Is Now Greater Than
Ever Before.

Supervisor Frederick L. Baldwin, at
the meeting of the Board of Free
holders this afternoon, submitted his
veto to the salary claim of William j.
kearns, special counsel for Sheriff
Harrigan. copy of which follows:
To the Board of Chosen Freeholders:
"Gentlemen-I return without ap.
proval resolution No. 1924, relating to
the appointment and fixing of salary of
William j. kearns as deputy and legal
assistant to the sheriff
The law under which application for
this action was made authorizes the
Sheriff to select and employ and the
Board of Chosen Freeholders to desig-
nate the compensation to be paid the
necessary deputies and assistants for
the sheriff's Office.
1t would seem essential, in the first
place, to demonstrate the need of such
an officer. From the following state
ment of disbursements and receipts of
the sheriffs office, it will be noted that.
while the expenses have increased over
$4,000. the volume of business which
Is represented by the receipts has
fallen off over $4,000 during the past
year.

NEW YORK, Jan 1$.--WireIess re-
ports received here today indicate that
the Atlantic steamship line is swept
by severe storms which have worked
havoc on at least one ocean liner.
The worst sufferer from the wild

guste Victoria, which, according to the
dispatches, put into Plymouth with her
port rail torn away for u distance of
fifty feet by wave which caught and
threw down u score of passengers who
were on deck at the time, five of whom
are quite badly hurt. Her captain de-
clared the tempest the worst he had
ever encountered.
Another vessel in tile track of the
storm is the Cunard liner Lusitania,
due here tonight, but reported rum
ming through heavy seas and twelve
hours late. The st. Louis, of the
American line. due Wednesday eve
ming, is two days late.
