WAS SHOT AT
FIVE TIMES
Youth Says Father of Girl
Tried TO Kill Him--Police-
man to Rescue.
WOUNDED IN HAN

A wild story of having been held
PROSTATE on the ground by two men
while the irate father of a girl he is
alleged to have insulted bent over
him and fired five shots at his body,
was told this morning at police court
by Howard Anderson, eighteen years
old, of 420 Lawton place. He said
his assailant was Joseph Lynch, a
stone cutter, of $40 Barclay street,
the father of the girl.
Although Anderson showed holes
in his clothes to prove that bullets
had been fired at him, the police are
not inclined to believe that he was
held on the ground and deliberately
fired upon. They think he was shot
at in a chase in which Lynch was
the pursuer and Anderson the pur-
sued.
The story dates back several
months since Lynch first had a war
rant sworn out for Anderson's arrest.
The police were unable to locate the
youth because he was out of the city,
travelling, he says, with q theatrical
troupe, but Lynch swore If he ever
returned he would have him at police
headquarters within an hour after
he set foot here.
Recorder Pickersgill armed Lynch
with the warrant and deputized him
! a special officer to serve 1t. For
weeks the father has been carrying
the warrant about in his pocket until
yesterday he learned that Anderson
had returned and had taken a posi-
ton as collector in a local furniture
house.
Last night about 9:f5 O'Clock both
met at New Brunswick avenue and
, Washington street. Anderson says
Lynch's son and a man named JOSEPH
Kerns, of Brace avenue, grabbed him
/ and threw him on the sidewalk.
Then, he says, the father drew two
revolvers, emptying the contents of
one at him.
In clutching his assailant's arm
Anderson sustained a wound on the
left hand. He. submitted the wound
as evidence this morning. Another
hole was shot through his coat and
still another through his trousers.
Lynch says Anderson ran, and as
a special policeman he pursued him,
firing to scare the fleeing man. At
any rate Patrolman Rymarezyk, at
Neville street and New Brunswick
avenue, heard the shots and arrived
on the scene rs Anderson was at
tempting to extricate himself from
the embraces of Lynch. He pleaded
with the patrolman to take him to
police Observation-Disclosures away
from the mar with the gun.
He was paroled this morning for
a hearing Wednesday night. He
says he fears he will be assaulted in
the meantime, however.

KEYP0RT MAN
SWEPT TO. SEA
Started for Pleasure Bay In
Power Boat and Spark
Plug Failed.
ovERTAKEN BY STORM
Social to the EVENING NEWS.

Keyport, Oct. 25-About 5 o'clock
Saturday morning Lloyd e. Mason,
of this place, left here In his motor
boat "Autogo" for Pleasure Bay,
where he expected to sell his launch
and return home by train. About 7
o'clock he encountered a severe
storm. All would have been well
had not his spark plug become crack
ed. This disabled his engine and
left him at the mercy of the storm.
He tried to anchor his craft but
found his cable too short to reach
bottom, and as he had no extra plug
with him he was forced to allow the
boat to drift with the wind, which
was off-shore. The boat, which was
only about eighteen feet long and
open, afforded little resistance to the
and drifted rapidly out to sea.
Mason had about given up hope
when. after having drifted to a point
about six miles beyond Sandy Hook,
he was sighted and taken aboard by
the steamer Mary Patten and
brought to the Highlands of Nave
sink. There he procured the neces-
sary plug and proceeded to his desti-
nation without further mishap. He
has sold the boat to Clinton B. Cook,
of Asbury Park.

The japanese child is exceedingly
shy and retiring before Its elders, and
girls are taught to practice this more
than boys. In the morning as soon as
they are up the children go to their
parents in turn, bow their heads to
the ground and say Good morning"
or How is your honorable health?'
Before a meal they lift the chop
sticks to their foreheads and bow III
thanks, whether their parents are
present or not, for the meal set before
them. Before going out to school or
elsewhere and on returning they must
kneel before the mother and bow.
When father or mother go out the
children must go to the porch, kneel
down and say eDelgn to go forth or

Ottawa, Oct. 25:-This city is to-
day the base of a number of expedi-
tons that have set out in search of
the missing balloon America IT,
The belief is growing hourly that tbs
missing air craft either dropped iHtn,
Lake Huron or is now lost in some<
Canadian wilderness.
A late Cobalt special says that a
hunter named Charles Treadway, who,
while tracking a Moose, at dawn on
Wednesday morning saw a. balloon
pass over him at the mouth of the
kippewa river near Lake Temiskang,
In northern Quebec.
AS this point is thirty miles distant
from the point where the Helvetia
landed, 1t is considered probable That
1t is the lost balloon, America II.
Il was on the trail Of a moose just
before dawn on Wednesday, said
Treadway, "and the moon was stu
bright and clear. | had come out on q
bare, rocky river to get my line to fol-
low the moose when | saw q balloon

avoid soaring the moose, which | knew

saw the basket quite plainly and shad-

locate their position. and it would have

hour. Making the direction It did, tie

country In northern Quebec and, know
ing the bush as / do, / would not like

A special from Quebec city says that
a report has reached there that the
America II. had landed in the wflds of
Quebec and that Alan Hawley and
Augustus Post, the %aeronauts, are on
their way to that city by boat.
The balloon America II. passed over
Thompsonyille, Mich, Tuesday, Oct.

the Aero club of st. Louis.
The message was signed by Alan II.
Hawley aud Augustus Post, pilot and

The delayed message was dropped to
q farmer eight miles from Thompson-

two branches of the City Council. who
will be elected at the June election.
there We're just thirty candidates for
the two branches from the three wards.
There were about forty persons named
for the primary, but some of them
have declined to permit their names to
so before the primary, and the City
Committee, when it meets tomorrow
morning, will probably omit these
names from the primary ballots,
Not in q number of years has there
been as much interest evinced In o
municipal primary as Is the case this
year and some Of the wise ones are
beginning to cast about to arrive at
| the reason for so many nominations.
Two years ago II was q hard matter
to secure enough capable men to per-
nit their names TO go before the pri,
mary. This year there will be con-
tests in each of the wards, for both
branches af the Council, There are
nearly three candidates on an average
for the seats to be made vacant by the
expiration of the members terms on
August 81, seven Councilmen aid four
Aldermen retiring at that time, unless
