YOUNG BLIZZARD, BORN In
TENNESSEE, SWEEPS COAST.

NEW YORK, Dec. GA lusty young
blizzard which came into life in the
Tennessee Mountains and grew rapidly
as it swept eastward disported itself in
vigorous fashion today along the At
lantic seaboard and over the lower lake
region.
The storm centered over the lower
Chesapeake bay this morning, and rain,
snow or sleet fell over the entire coun-
try from Virginia northeast and
through the New England States. A
high northeaster reused the Atlantic
ocean, and four ocean steamships
which crept into port this morning had
TO anchor in the Lower bay because of
the binding snow. Shipping was held
in port until better weather.
The first of the storm came last
night with a gentle fall Of snow which,
after an abatement of several hours,
tool on new life today when a twenty
four-mile wind came out of the north
east. The driving gale shook down
blankets of snow and brought low tenn
peratures with it. Canton, N. Y, re-
ported a temperature of IL degrees be-
low zero early today, the lowest re-
corded on the weather bureau chart.
The snow delayed traffic in New
York, and scores of pedestrians were
injured by falling on slippery side
walks. The bitter cold last night
caused general suffering among the
poor and SIS persons We're cared for at
the Municipal Lodging House.
The weather bureau said 1t would
clear by night and be- followed by ex-
treme cold.

Muslin Undergarment Company of New
York city, the Newark factory being
a branch.
After telling names of the other MEM
bers of the company, which has been
in existence in Manhattan for ten
years, he was asked by Mr.. Mott:
How long have you been In business
in Newark"
Five years. was the reply. Dur
ing thai time we occupied the entire
top floor"
"Who was in charge of the Newark
factory?" asked. Mr.. Mott.
Hiss Haag In Charge.
Miss Anna Haag has been in charge
ever since we opened the branch" was
the reply.
What was the average number of
persons employed by you,' vas the
mex question.
"On the day of the fire we had 116
persons employed. 1t was u busiest
season, and we were working more
people than ever before in the Newark
factory. Our average number of en-
ployees was about s~eventy-fve."
Were your employees all females"
asked MIR. Mott
"All but one. q boy named Roy
Davidson was the answer.
did you of your personal knowl-
edge know of the physical condition
of the building" asked Mr.. Mott.
mo, sir; l did not was the quick
response, Except that the top floor
as far as light, room and conveniences
was ideal for our purposes"
Continuing the witness volunteered
the information that Miss Haag, the
forewoman, had been instructed to give
all attention to requests made by fac
tory inspectors as to changes or al
t%erations desired made. Mr.. Wolf said
as far as he knew these instructions
had always been complied with.
Did you notice anything about the
windows? Did you ever find any of the
windows locked?' askedeMr. Mott.
mo, sir" was the emphatic reply;
'they were never locked. When we
took the building l noticed that the
windows were kept open by blocks of
wood placed under the sash. I had this
changed by having Mr.. Glass, the land
lord, put iron catches that would hold
the window open either halfway or full
SASH"
"Can you conceive of any reason why
the girls did not use the staidway?
queried Mr.. Mott.
mo, sir; except from what I have
heard since the fire from some of our
girls. They told me that Miss Haag
said the smoke was too dense and
waved them back. Miss Haag, I have
been told, went down to the third floor
to investigate was Mr.. VOLTS answer.
did any of your girls go down the
stairway" was the next question.
YES sir. I understand quite a num-
Der did. 1t is a YER peculiar fact that

La PIERRE COMES
FROM OTTAWA TO
CLAIM W|FE'S BODY
Declares Factory Fire Victim Is
Woman Who Deserted Him
Twenty-seyen Years Ago.

1t is one week today since Mrs. Mary
La Pierre. che of the twenty-five VIC
Tins of the High street fire, was laid
at rest in Arlington Cemetery beside
the body of the man whom she had
told her friends was her first husband.
Today comes a man from Ottawa,
Canada, George La Pierre, by NAME,
claiming hat he recognized the pic
lures of the dead woman printed in the
Evening STAR as that of the wife who
deserted him there twenty-seven years
ago. He declares hat she had no hus-
band and that if it is his wife buried
beside the body of Edward Henry, in
Arlington, a frightful mistake has been
made.
The mystery that surrounds the Ease
is inexplicable to the police. Mrs. La
Pierre had always told her friends in
her Bergen street clearinghouse thai
she was born in Whitehouse, N. j., was
first married to Henry and bore by him
the deaf-mute daughter of 81, whom she
worked In the factory to support.
She told them that upon her first
husbands death she became infatuated
with a man named Alfred mot George
La Pierre, and married him in New
York. He had deserted and left her
penniless, she said, on Christmas day,
1902.
This story was implicitly believed by
her friends and her daughter, and no
one ever questioned it until George La
Pierre came INTO the STAR Office this
afternoon and told the following story:
81 know that the dead woman is my
wife. l married her in Ottawa twenty
seven years ago, and her maiden name
was Mary McCrea. We had one child.
but 1t was not a deaf-mute. She was
only 10 when I married her and she
was only % when she ran away with
another French Canadian and / heard
she went to Alpine, Mich. ] tried TO
follow her, but I could never find her.
and | never heard of her again until /
saw in a copy OF the Evening STAR in
ottawa a picture of Mary La Pierre
among the dead. l knew at once she
was my wife, though I had not seen
her in all those years, and / got a priest
to write a letter here to try to make
sure the picture was the right one.
But the police did not answer the
priests letter, and so, having loved
my wife all these years in spite of
what she did, 1 have come way down
here from ottawa to ask the authori-
ties TO exhume her body and let me
make sure she is my wife. Then / will
take her body away from the grace OF
the mar who could not have been her
first husband, and I will take 1t to
Canada and rebury it alongside the
body Of our infant child"

LEGISLATORS ARE
SILENT REGARQlue
THE CONFERENCE
Hudson County Men Refuse to
Discuss Meeting Held with
G0vernor-E Elect.
lFrom a stan correspondent.I

TRENTON, Dec. 6.-There was con-
siderable speculation INDUCED IN
about the capital as to what transpired
at Governor-elect Wilson's interview
with the senator and assemblymen
from Hudson county yesterday, but
none of the Hudson men were present,
and exactly what transpired u at
Princeton could not be a~scertained
from that source.
The newspaper syndicate that has
assumed the legislative ~prerogative of
e~lecting q successor to United States
Senator John A. Kean industriously
circulated a rumor hat the conference
was called solely to discuss h a point.
According to the syndicate the Hudson
men were given to understand that not
a Democrat from Hudson would be APP
pointed to any Office of profit or trust
by the Governor unless he was per-
mitted to name the man they should
vote for as Senator.
That end of the syndicate yarn was
evolved before Governor Fort ar-
nounced the appointment of Mark A.
Sullivan, of Hudson, as judge of the
Court of Errors and Appeals. Then 1t
was admitted that the original syndi-
cate report was slightly twisted and
that the interview had to do mainly
with prospective legislation.
The Governor made it apparent that
it is his desire to have the Legislature
of 1911 enact into the law every pledge
contained in the platform of the party
on which he was elected. That it was
agreed was of paramount Importance
as compared with who may be the
successor of Senator John Kean.
1t is understood that the Governor
elect will consult with all the other
Democratic Legislators prior to his In
auguration, in order to receive assur-
ance that they are in sympathy with
the recommendations his inaugural
address will contain.
Governor Fort is busy OF his last
annual message, and it is considered
probable hat this document and the
inaugural of his successor may agree
in many essential points.
During their attendance at the recent
session of the House of Governors In
Louisville, KY, the two "goverrYors'
were in each others company almost
constantly, and it was at Governor
Forts suggestion and Go~vernor-elect
Wilson's urgent request that Spring
Lake, the summer home Of the former,
was selected for the meeting place OF
the third annual session o the House
o Governors.

AW0KE TO FIND

INTRUDERS SEARCH RI
BUT LEAVE SANS p,
Bride Says by Luck THE
Missed Hubby's Trousers.
Which Contained 80 Cents.

A much excited young woman en-
tered the Fourth Precinct station early
today and told of four bold burglars
who entered the apartment Of her
brother, Morris Siegel. at 200 Charlton
street, while he and his wife were
sleeping. Miss Bella Siegel, who re-
ported the case, said that at half-past
3 this morning her brother was awak-
ened by a noise and saw two men
standing at his bedside. The young
woman said her brother was SO badly
scared that he made no outcry and
pretended to be asleep. He never
theless managed to see a third man at
the bedroom window, at which en-
trance was gained, and also heard a
noise al the kitchen door. which made
him believe hat there was a fourth
man there.
Burglars Had "search1ight.'
One of the intruders at the bedside
had "searchlights," said Miss Siegei.
and they looked in every nook and
corner for ~valuables. The mattress
was picked up, but nothing found.
The burglars left without taking "A
penny.
At the Siegel home Mrs. Bessie Siegel
made the following statement to an
Evening STAR reporter:
My husband tells me-" she said,
that the men came in through the
window which l left open, and that
they even Looked for money on my
person. They must have been quiet,
because I did not hear them, and slept
peacefully until after the burglars left.
] am glad they did not find my hus-
bands trousers under the pillow. be-
cause he had about 80 cents in them.
The rest of our money is upstairs in
my father-in-law's fiat"
The Siegels have lived at the Charl-
ton street address only two days, COM
ing there from 277 Eighteenth avenue.
They have been married a year and
give that as an explanation for not
having jewelry and valuables in their
possession.

SPINNING SHAFT
BATTERS VICTIM
TO AWFUL DEATH
Fur Worker, Caught as He Re-
pairs Belt, Is Whirled to
Horrible Doom.

Jacob Left, a fur worker employed
in the factory of Adolph Hollander &
Sons. 1877 East Kinney street, met a
horrible death today. when, caught in
a belt he was adjusting, his body was
whirled around shafting. his head bat
tered against the ceiling, both arms
were torn from their sockets and both
legs were shattered. Practically every
bone in his body was broken, Death
was almost instantaneous.
When the hastily-summoned City
Hospital ambulance arrived Left was
dead. County Physician Mckenzie was
notified and ordered the body removed
to Undertaken Philip Apter's morgue.
103 Morton street.
Left was 81 years old and is survived
by a wife and small child.
How Leff Met Doom.
While working at his machine he dis
covered that the betting was loose. He
mounted the platform to remedy the
defect, and, slipping the belt off the
pulley. began to relace il. In some way
his right arm caught in the shafting
and he was snatched upward, scream
ing for help.
Their attention called to his peril by
the piercing cry, other workmen stood
helpless while the body was whirled
the shaft. Men ran to shut off
the power, but before this could be
done Left was beyond human aid.
Blood from his mangled body was
spattered about the o Several of
the work1nen were so overcome by the
tragic accident that they went home
for the day.

,contiaued from First Page,

on the latter date, if a majority of the
twelve are willing, and complete the
organization with Senator Ernest r.
Alderman, of Union, as president, and
William C. Murphy. of Camden, as
secretary.
Governor Forts selection of Mark A.
Sullivan as Judge of the Court of Errors
and Appeals was warmly commended
by the lawyers present, and, in fact,
everyone who heard of the appoint
ment.
The declination of George r. Howe.
of East Orange, who the Governor has
in mind for the vacancy caused by the
death of Judge George R. Gray, will
cause a delay of a few days in making
the selection of another for that va
cancy.
VIII Name LaymaD.
II have decided 10 name a layman as
Judge Gray's successor, and will make
the selection after a consultation with
Governor-elect Wilson. AS the appoint
ments are ad interim and expire with
the close of the legislative session. I
will name only those who are agreeable
to- the next Legislature"
Governor Wilson will appoint Judge
Sullivan for the full term, and he
would also have done the same in the
case of Mr.. Howe had he consented to
serve. The latter, however, had con
WINGED me that his business interests
would not permit the sacrifice and l
will have to find another"
SOC after the announcement of the
appointment of Mark A. Sullivan as a
member of the Court of Appeals Chan
cellor Mahlon Pitney called upon Gov
ernor Fort and was closeted with the
latter for some time. While neither
would say what was discussed it is
surmised that they discussed the matter
of an appointment to the other vacancy
on the court caused by the death of the
late Judge Dill.
