BOILER BLEW OUT" HIS
ANSWER TO A r
Explanation That Follows Wins
Lentz His Freedom.

When asked in police court for an ex-
PLANTATION of his conduct of the day be-
fore, when he refused to go home and
had upbraided "a policeman who at
tempted to help him, John Lentz. of lS6
John street, Nutley. said:
Judge, your honor, the boiler at the
factory blew out"
Acting Judge Oehring was naturally
curious to know what influence an
ploding boiler could have on character
and conduct and inquired further.
Lentz explained that but for the ex'
plosion he would have been at work,
and thus would not have had time to
acquire refreshments TO the point Of
being surfeited.
Lentz was arrested by Policeman
Zeliff as he was trying to board tive
or three trolley cars. He was permit
ted to go home.

LAWYER
BEGS JURORS FOR
ASSAULT VERDICT
Manslaughter Charge, However,
Pressed Against Man Ac-
cused of Murder.

Charles S. Gaines. the negro on trial
on a charge CT numbering Mathew
Carter. another negro, before a jury in
Judge Thomas A. Davis's court took
the stand in his own behalf today and
told a tale of the troubles he had been
in.
Gaines admitted he had served time
in the Albany P~enitentiary and Elmira
Reformatory in New York State, y
in the Caldwell Penitentiary in this
county. After these admissions Attor-
ney j. A. Bernhard. for the defense,
led Gaines up to the happenings on
May 30 last, when he and Carter got
into the mix-up on the bootblack
stand at Broome and West Kinney
streets. Gaines said:
Garter said to me, You're one CT
those bad "niggers." You've beaten
up everybody on the hill
Il didn't say anything to him until
he made a rake at my stomach with
his knife"
"What do you mean by a rake at
my stomach with his knife" asked
Prosecutor Lehlbach.
why, he slashed at me with the
knife n | pulled my stomach back
out of the way. He tried to rake me-"
Did You bit him them"
II threw up my hands. 1 don't know
whether Hit him or not"
Gaines had a wordy battle with the
prosecutor as to whether he had q right
to protect himself under the circum-
stances. Gains claimed he had. Mr..
Lenlbach thought differently, and made
Gaines admit on the stand that lie
was not afraid of the old man. meanA
ing Carter.
A lively little row between Attorney
Bernhard. Assistant Prosecutor Lehl-
bach and Judge Davis cnlivened the
early part of the proceedings. Jennie
Gaines, a sister of the accused man. was
on the stand for the purpose of identi-
flying some witnesses who had been at
a church meeting on August 4. 1t de-
veloped that she had not attended the
meeting and did not know who had been
there.
Following the testimony of Gaines,
Mr. Lehlbach took only fifteen min
utes to give the States side OF the case,
asking only for a verdict of manslaugh-
ter. passing up the murder charge.
Attorney Bernhard talked TO the jury
for thirty minute and asked that only
a verdict of assault and battery be re-
turned, as he claimed the State had
failed to make out a case.

place have been brought to the surface,
and while more are being brought out
at intervals. over fifty are believed TO
be still inside.
Tho total number of deaths, the re-
suit of the disaster, will probably not
exceed sevcnty-nine. This estimate is
made by mine officials and is based ON
the number of safety lamps not turned
in.
With dawn the full import of the dis
aster broke upon the survivors and
fl ON every side aid is being sent. Res
cuers worked all night and at daylight
a fresh supply entered the mine. Men
have penetrated as far as the entry

first rescue party to enter in the slope
proceeded to the seventh ENTRY, then
turned and made its way across the
main slope. Some fire was found in the
| oross-cut and extinguished. Near the
west end of the eighth entry a pile of
dead mules was encountered. A little
beyond We're found the bodies of four
teen men.
Find Mnn Alive.
Turning back toward the main slope
on entry 8, the rescuers penetrated
until a big cave-in was encountered
near the opening of the main slope.
Here in the midst of the pile of dead
mules and the bodies of his dead COM
panions, the rescuers found Donac
Nergen, whose survival is the miracle
OF the disaster. He was found by }. b.
Manley, who was startled to see Yer
gen open his eyes and say in pleading
tones: please may | go home now"

After finding a mar alive the WORK
of rescue was resumed with renewed
vigor. but hopes of finding any more
alive is fading as time passes. Most OF
the victims are believed to be in en-
tries 9, 10. II and II. 1t may be days

showed, and their queues pulled, upon
the slightest provocation. I have
never seen a missionary strike Chi.
nese, but l know of rare cases in
which it has been done. I have occa-
siOnally witnessed q disregard for the
rights and feelings of the native, as
fellow man, on the part of the mis-
sionary. To cite a trivial illustra-
ton: My steamer rug was hanging
on the arm of missionary in a
crowd of Chinese One of the latter.
iInpeiled by mere curiosity, began
idly to finger the texture of the rug.
At once the missionary jerked it
away, with a snarl, as if the man
had injured 1t. That missionary's
chances of helping that mans soul
are rather slim.
AS background for all considera-
ton of all things Chinese, these re.
grettable effects of extra-territoriality.
and of the white mans sense of racial
superiority, must be borne in mind;
they will illuminate the report of trou.
bles that arise in this monster ma
tion, which is awakening, bewildered,
from the sleep Of centuries. All nv
interviews with the Chinese have
largely exonerated the missionaries
upon this point. l myself have been
harder upon them, in the preceding
paragraph. than the Chinese have
been. II cannot be questioned that
the great mass of missionaries here
really care for the Chinese, and are
honestly endeavoring to serve them.
The loyalty of the missionaries to the
native, when contrasted with the con.
tempt and disfavor of most other for
eigners. is really remarkable.
The Doctors Good Reputation.
Whatever fault they find with other
phases of mission work-and many
have scant patience with the distinc-
lively religious propaganda-the Chi
nese have unanimously praised the
medical and educational branches. Re-
member that this nation of 400, 900 900
persons has no modern medical sci
ence, outside of the missions, and
that there is no end of sickness, much
of it is due to ignorance and filth.
The ordinary medical missionary
treats from 5000 to $4,000 dispensary
eases a year.
So this humanitarian work, which

In China, But Not Under China.
The white man is in China, but
not of it, He has, as Sir Robert Hart
reminded me, more privileges here
than anywhere else in the world. He
is amenable to no Chinese law. The
natives regard him with fear, and at
least outward Difference. A jinricki-
sha man pulling a foreigner does not
hesitate to violate all the rules of
the road. Extraordinarily has given
the subjects of other nations priv
ileges which they have not hesitated
to abuse. The Chinese believe, and
with reason, that every foreigner con-
