WEST FAV0RS OPEN FENCE.
Opposes Mr. JudsOn's Approval OF
Hackers recommendation.

Commissioner West has requested En-
eineer Commissioner Judson 10 withdraw
his approval of the recommendation of
Building Inspector Norris Hacker that
Acre be no change in the building regu-
latons, as proposed by William Z. Shan
non, making il compulsory that back
premises shall be inclosed with open
wooden picket or ornamental iron fences
In place Of high board fences and brick
walls. as now prescribed.
If Engineer Commissioner Judson com
plies with the request. it is the intention
Of Commissioner West to bring the matter
Up before the board for a full discussion,
and in ali probability there will he a
public hearing of the matter. to which all
parties interested will be invited to be
present.
Health Officer woodward believes the
open fence would add to sanitary con-
ditions. The police authorities say the
elimination Of the high closed fences and
brick Enclosures would simplify the work
OF the police.

cence"
The Chief Justice then donned the
black cap that had rested near him
throughout the trial, and pronounced
the sentence of death.
Addressing the condemned man,
Lord Alverstone said: you have
been convicted on evidence which can
leave no doubt in the mind of any
reasonable man that you cruelty mur-
dered your wife and then mutilated
her body.
81 advise you to entertain no hope
that you will escape the consequences
of your crime. | implore you to
make your peace with Almighty
God"
There is the strongest prejudice in
England against executing man on
purely circumstantial evidence, and
an incident at the close of Crippen's
trial has caused the impression that
the jury may have recommended a
life sentence. After Crippen was sen.
fenced to death the foreman of the
jury handed to the Lord Chief Justice
note, after looking at which, the
justice said:
THAT shall be forwarded to the
proper quarter"
The proper quarter might mean
the Home Secretary, who has juris-
diction in such matters. The jurors
refused to discuss the incident.

SIX KILLED BY AN EXPLOSION
Boiler n Cordage Plant Blows Up-.-
Emp.o,es in ranic.

New York Especially Six men
were instantly killed, two were mort
ally injured, IL we're hurt more or
less seriously and so persons, most or
them women, were cut and bruised
when the boilers of the American
Manufacturing Company, at Green
point, blew up.
The American Manufacturing Com
pany is part of the Cordage Trust.
1t covers three blocks, from Oak to
Milton street, and from West street,
seven hundred feet to the East River.
There are more than a dozen build
ings, all adjoining, and ranging in
height from four to six stories.
The company employs 1000 girls
and /, 900 men. The boiler-house is
two-story back bu!ldin" at Oak and
West streets. In it is battery of
immense boilers.
The six killed we're in the boiler
house. No one who was in the
structure was left alive to tell the
cause of the accident. Probably 1t
will never be known. The 5000 en-
ployes had Just got to work. Sud-
denly there was a terrific report that
shook buildings blocks away. The
boiler-house disappeared in a puff of
steam and smoke. Windows in the
other buildings of the concern sur
rounding it were shattered and plas-
ter fell.
Instantly there was the widest
panic among the girls and men, many
of whom were on the fifth and sixth
floors of the structures. There was
a rush for stairways and fire escapes.
Men and girls fought to reach the
street Many were knocked down
and trampled. Some were cut by
flying glass.
Out on the corner of West and
Oak streets the air was filled with
flying debris at the time of the ex-
plosion. Bricks we're hurled block
away.
Someone turned in a fire alarm and
police reserves were sent. For a
time the wild excitement hindered
the work of discovering the extent OF
damage. Then there. was rush for
the ruins by the crowd that quickly
gathered.
Amid tangled steel and heaps OF
mortar and brick the six dead men
were found. The body of Michael
Kelley was blown up West street
nearly the entire length of the block.
Other bodies were hurled nearly a
hundred feet

Wellman and his five companions
were landed here by the steamship
Trent, which picked them up at sea
after they had abandoned their
dirigible balloon America and failed
in the first attempt ever made to
cross the Atlantic through the air. A
bruised right hand, which Wellman
carried in a sling, was the only
physical injury that resulted from
900 miles, and rescue the like of
which is unknown to all history.
None of the aeronauts expressed
regret for the loss OF the America
They agreed that it had served it's
purpose and taught it's lesson. All
stand ready to renew the attempt as
soon as Wellman and his engineers
find way to conquer the difficulties
that brought their first trip to its
thrilling end, 400 miles southeast of
Sandy Hook.
Standing on the deck of the Trent,
clad in the same suit of khaki he
wore when he and his crew launched
the America at Atlantic City, Well
man made this statement:
I'VE thought we could not get
along without the equilibrator Now
we find we couldn't get along with it.,
Our plans for the future are in
definite until we find something that
will do what we thought the equili-
brator would do"
