JERSEY JUSTICE WILL DEAL AS. USUAL WITH
 WOULD-BE ASSASSIN

New York, Aug. 1O.-"Jersey justice' will avenge the shooting of Mayor Will liam J. Gaynor.
 The proverbial rapidity with which criminals are punished in New Jersey will be observed in the case of James J. Gallagher. There will be no con- flict of authority. New York has no jurisdiction, the attorneys agree today. and the prosecution will be in the hands of the authorities of Hudson County. N. J.
 Prosecutor Pierre Garvan began his inquiry into the case today. He in- terviewed a number of the witnesses to the accident. Tomorrow he will present the evidence to the sitting Grand Jury. If his plans go through an indictment will be promptly re- turned and the actual trial will begin next week. All that can interfere will be a change for the worse in the con- dition of the Mayor. Should the pres ent improvement continue there is every reason to believe that Gallagher will be in the Trenton prison before Mayor Gaynor is discharged from the Hoboken hospital.

MALI FABLE IRON WORKS
 SINKS 100000 GALLON
 WELL BY UNIQUE METHOD
Thus Shakes off Bondage of Meter Rates and Obtains Large
 Supply of Fresh Water

Toole & Sunderlin, the local contrac- tors have just finished a 100000 gallon well for the Bridgeport Malleable Iron Go. at South and Railroad ave- nues in which the base of the we'll wall was built at the top and sunk to a depth of 32 feet under it's own weight. The well, which is for the purpose of doing away with the pur- chase of city water at meter rates, is the largest we'll of it's kind ever built in New England if not in the United States.
 Many contractors and engineers watched with much interest for the result of the engineering feat and some had misgivings that there was going to be a crack in the concrete before they had finished. But the we'll is now completed without a flaw in it's sides and contains from IA to 15 feet of water.
 The we'll is hexagon in shape and is 36 fit in circumference. At the start a drillage of 12x12 timbers about 3 fit, in width, was bolted together about eight below the surface of the ground. On top of this drillage was laid the solid concrete until it resembled a gigantic collar. This collar soon

FOR FRAGRANT VIOLATION OF SPEED LAW, CHAUFFEUR
 ALBEIT IS HEAVILY FINED

As the penalty for the most fragrant violation of the speed law that has been brought to the attention of the city court, Judge Foster today imposed upon Herman Albeit, chauffeur for Albert H. Sonn. a real estate dealer of 128 w. 90th street. fine of $100 and costs. The total fine was a few cents over $110. Albeit paid the fine, his em- ployer telegraphing him s250 when he was notified by telephone of Albeit's arrest. The capture of the speeder was most spectacular. and the pursuit proceeding it was witnessed by hufid- reds of people. Suspecting the chauf- feur and his two comrades planned vengeance upon him when he ran them down, Special Policeman Clifford Cor gas who effected the capture, warned them that at the first show of resist ance he would use his gun and then the trio accompanied him to police headquarters without any further show of resistance.
 Albeit came over Ash Creek bridge at yesterday afternoon Gorgas esti- mated his speed at about 40 miles when he took up the chase. It varied from 40 to 57 miles per hour until he was captured. Albeit's companions saw Gorgas on their track shortly after they left Ash Creek and sensational chase began.
 At 40 miles per hour the machine turned south in Park avenue. and dashed directly ahead of trolley cars

CONGRESS- STREET BRIDGE COST IS
 OVER $3OO,OOO

The prospects are that the Congress street bridge commission will cost more than s300,0OO and that the com- mission will have a few thousands to turn back to the city.
 The final check has been paid to The Snare & Triest Go. for the work Of building the new Congress street bridge, inclusive of the cost of build ing the approaches and the Scherzer roller lift draw
 The total amount 2hat the Congress bridge commission has had to draw upon inclusive of $3O,00O from the N. Y., N. H. & H. Railroad is $3O6, $50. The total expenditures up to date have been $296,1S9.97. Of this amount the total amount paid to The Snare & Triest Co. was $2S3,674.9O. The for that part over the water and all the underwater work inclusive of dredging, rip rap, piling, retaining walls. cassions, etc was taken on unit basis.
 The railroad company has turned over $22,500 of it's $3O,O contribution to the city and the final $7,5OO is ex- pected to arrive daily.
 After paying The Snare & Triest Co.,. for it's part of the work the com mission had $32, ,465.07 left to draw up. Out of this amount came S4, 800 for the royalty paid the Scherzer Roller Lift Drawbridge Co. for the use of it's type of bridge, the salary of engineers, inspectors, clerks, paving and inciden- tals. The board still has $10, 710.O3 to draw upon and number of bills, the largest of which is for the paw ing of the bridge with granite block pavement.

ARTILLERY BAND GUESTS
 OF HON. JOHN J. PHELAN

So pleased was ex-Secretary of State John J. Phelan with the work of the Coast Artillery Corps band this summer at their free public band concerts that last night at the close of their last concert at Washington Park for this season he entertained the band at his home, 1886 Noble avenue. The members of the band were made to feel as if they owned the house, while refreshments in great variety were served them. The concert last night was attended by even more people than usual and was pronounced excellent by all who heard it. The band played the en- tire program in such a way as to give great satisfaction, while the Ted Snyder quartet sang four selections, all favorites with the crowd, and were heartily encored after each. Next week, if pleasant, the band will play it's final band concere of the season at Seaside Park on Tuesday evening, and if stormy, the next fair night.

ENGLISH PRESS RAPS
 COL. ROOSEVELT AND
 HIS GUILDHALL SPEECH

London, Aug. 10-The attempt on the Tiff eof Mayor Gaynor has given a. number of the English papers a longed-for chance to inveigh against speech and to liken the attempted assassination of the Mayor to the killing of Premier Boutros Pasha of Egypt whose murder led the Colonel in his Guildhall speech to question the capacity of England's rule in Egypt. ''The assassination of Bou- tros Pasha is paralleled by the at tempted assassination of Mayor Gay nor," the Evening Star says. twill Roosevelt dare to propose the dis franchisement of New York city or the forcible dissolution of Tammany sistent with his recommending Eng lands retirement from Egypt. We hope the crime will bring home to Roosevelt the folly of his excursions into others affairs"
 According to the London Globe, the "Gaynor case is the usual result of breaking up of an extreme bureau cratic government"
 It warns England to heed the les son to offcialdom to secure such grip on the public as is not unbreakable without recourse to violence.
 Remembering Roosevelt's Guild hall speech the Westminster Gazette says, "'we hestitate to think what he will say regarding New York's capa- city for self-government.'
 Without exception the British press speaks in the highest praises of Gay nor and expresses the greatest sympa- thy and solicitude for him. The Standard says:
 ''The completion of Gaynor's career is a matter of international impor- tance To his own country his death would be a calamity. His achieve ments should make it possible for him to become a candidate for the presi- dency and we sincerely trust that he will be spared for the battle,''

POOL BALL BREAKS JAW
 WHICH MUST NOW BE BROKEN

George Saksa, IS years old, of 553 Berkshire avenue, arranged today to have an X-ray examination made of his jaw, which was broken three weeks ago by an unruly pool ball. Saksa did not realize the gravity of his injury and neglected it until the bones had set. It is likely that the jaw will have to be broken and set again. Saksa was a spectator at a pool game when the ball bounded over the edge of the table.

 Albeit offered as an excuse that he was due in Stockbridge where his em- ployer is a guest at Heaton Hall, at 7:30 and he assented to be on time. He had brought the car a Packard. from New Jersey.
 Bail was fixed at $25O. when it was learned that he fled from arrest. Albeit spent the night in a cell and this morning was arraigned in the prisoners pen along with about a dozen other offenders.
 He was surly enough when it came to paying his fine. and insisted upon knowing how the costs were to be used.
 That's graft for you fellows" he grumbled as he counted out the money.
 "I'll bet they go some if they ever get me in this state again" he ex- claimed as he threw open his muffler. in violation of the law. and shot out from the rear of police headquarters at high speed down Fairfield avenue.
 The testimony of Gorgas and Sher- man T. Cole. superintendent of Corn wall & Patterson's. was all Judge Eos ter required as to the speed of the machine. though Prosecutor Redden had half dozen other witnesses in court. g2f
