Former CITY EmpIOye Attempts
to Murder Mayor Of
New York

decided after an examination Oi siA
X-ray plates. that an operation could
be postponed safely. The mayor
passed a good night in the Hoooken
hospital and slept well.
The examination Of the plates show
cd that after the bullet entered II

near the point Of entrance and the
other following down the line OF the
jawbone 10 the floor OF the mouth
where II lodged on the left side oil the
raimus. One of the surgeons said that
while such slight danger as there was
of blood poisoning was double because
of the splitting of the bullet, the like
lihood of such a development was
more remote than in most cases be-
cause of the unusual care the mayor
was receiving.
The mayor isn't suffering greatly at
present. He hasn't lost consciousness
since James J. Gallagher's revolver
was discharged into the back Of his
neck on the promenade deck Of the
Kaiser Wilmelm der Crosse. He Is
keenly alive to the nature Of the trial

tell him Just how the score between

FROM PAVING, AND IMPROVE

1t appeared that the city beautiful
idea was very strong in the meeting
of the board of works which was held
last night. 1t was voted to remove
from prominent points the unsigbtIv
hydrants from which street sprinklers
are supplied and place plugs in a box
on the ground surface, the box to be
neatly covered and painted. The board
also went on record as not fayorftfg

some months ago. Two applicants for
structures on the beach were turned
down. An application for bath
house on the bay front was refused.

croaching upon the street was report
ed, and the city attorney instructed to
enforce the city's rights in the prem

c1ation to add beauty and pleasure to
the already beautiful Bayview Park by
erecting a bath house of modern style
and architecture, etc, there, to teach
swimming, provide free bathing, sell
refreshments, etc, and to inject a
little education at the same time. All
of it pointed finally to the city beau
tiful idea
The board was called to order at 5
o'clock and remained in session just
two hours. The minutes of the last
regular and special meetings were
adopted Messrs. Fisher and Schad at
tended, and Chairman Jennings pre-
sided.
In a communication, the mayor re-
ported the sale of five mules for the
sum of 1915. The action of the mayor
was approved.
Several matters were covered in a
communication from the city en-
gineer, one of them being the en-
croachment of property on South Pala-
fox street, which was shown in a pre-
pared blue print, for the use of the
city attorney in enforcing the rights in
the matter.
Walter Thomas asked for permis-
sion to erect a boat house ON the
shores of Bayou Texar, and Chris.
Mendel wanted to erect a bath house
three hundred feet from the shore
line at the foot of Coyle street. Both
applications were refused.
The lofty water hydrant in front of
the Kirk property on East Garden
street was ordered moved over to Bru
street, to be placed on the ground level
when it is transferred, and each
sprinkling wagon to be equipped with
hose, etc, so that the supply of water
for the tanks will be obtained without
trouble. In regard to the lowering OF
the hydrants, the order is applicable to
all now in the city and all which have
been authorized.

LOST LIFE IN
STORMY GULF
PETER JANSEN FELL FROM THE
SCHOONER DEPENDEN WHILE
ON VOYAGE FROM PENSACOLA
TO ST. ANDREWS, FLA.

When the schooner Dependen, Capt.
Bracksen, arrived from st. Joseph's
bay late Sunday afternoon, report was
made of the peculiar death of Peter
Jansen, a member of the crew, whose
life was lost when only a few miles
from Pensacola bar. The men on the
boat yesterday did not think that
Jansen had drowned. but are under
the impression that he had an attack
of heart disease, fell overheard and
died within few seconds. AS soon as
he was reported overheard, efforts
were made to save him. In all
Jansen had not been in the water for
ten minutes. and the men claim that
he never sank. When hauled aboard
the vessel, efforts were made to resus-
citate the supposedly drowned man,
but all this work amounted to nothing.
Not a pint of water was taken from
his lungs, and that seemed to strength
en- the theory that death was not due
to drowning.
The bedsa WAS ttakensto St--Jee- and
inferred. Tire deceased was a good
man aboard and had never drank, ac-
cording to what could be learned of
him. 1t was certain that he had
no whiskey Immediately preceding his
death.
No report Of the mans death had
been made to the custom house up to
the hour of closing yesterday.

Five Pistol Shots Through
Window, Two of Them
Striking Gentleman.
NEGRO ARRESTED, CHARGED
WITH CRIME, AND BROUGHT
HERE-CLAlMS THAT HE HAD
PURLOlNED PISTOL WHICH
SHOT BULLETS OF STEEL. TWO
OF WHICH STRUCK INoFFENS-
I'VE VICTIM.

Jacob Jernigan, about so years OF
age, sitting peaceably by a window in
his home at Pine Barren, Sunday
evening, was shot and perhaps fatal
ly wounded. Five shots were fired
at him, two of which took effect One
of them struck him on the nose; the
other bullet entered from the back,
passing through the lungs and produe-
ed what may be a fatal wound He
is under the care of DR.. Fitzpatrick, of
Kansas, who is in attendance upon
Hon. c. L. Virgins. Mr.. Jernigan, who
was shot, is a nephew of Mr.. Wig
gins.
Doll Lewis, a negro, with whom Mr..
Jernigan, some time ago, had some
trouble, was arrested at l o'clock
Monday morning and brought to the
city in an automobile, in charge of
Sheriff Van Pelt and Chief Deputy
Cusachs. The negro is at present
charged with an attempt at murder,
but in case Mr.. Jernigan expires, he
will be held to the spring grand jury
to answer charge of murder. The
negro entered strong denial that
he was the one who did the shoot
ing.
PHoNED TO CITY.
Sheriff Van Pelt received informa-
ton of the attempted assassination of
Mr.. Jernigan about o'clock Sunday
evening. The message was telephon-
ed to Chief of Police Sanders by
gentleman, who had endeavored to
get telephone connection with the
sheriff. AS soon as Sheriff Van Pelt
was informed of the attempt he se-
cured an Oldsmobile, driven by l.. F.
Maisack. Three blood-hounds were
hurried from the county Jail yard into
the auto, and with several gentlemen
who had been Interested, the trip be-
gan. The twenty-seven miles were
covered in thirty-eight minutes
Arriving at Pine Barren, Sheriff Van,
Pelt at once looked up Mr.. Jernigan.
and questioned him closely relative
to any suspicious which he might
hold against anyone. He said that
he had none. Later he informed the
sheriff that, the only man he knew of
who would likely to the shooting was
the negro, with whom he had some
trouble in the past and who was al
legged to have openly made threats
that he would get even" The negro
had by that time been arrested.
DR.. Fitzpatrick, who is attending
Mr.. Virgins, and who was called in to
attend Mr.. Jernigan, said that Lewis,
the negro, had been pressing his
clothing, and that he had missed an
automatic revolver which carried a
steel bullet. He said that as soon
as he missed it, he accused the ne
gro of taking it, but the y black man
denied it very strongly. 1t was steel
bullets which struck Mr.. Jernjsan.
The shooting, of course, created
great deal of excitement in the neigh
borhood.
The sheriff and deputies returned
about o'clock Monday morning, TAX
ing their man direct to the county
Jail and locking him safely in that
place.
