ARREST
Of A Utica Man On Charge
Of Shooting
Newark American Tribune)


That real cold blooded murder
was not committed on last Saturday
night at Oakwood and the Pan Han
die tracks is no fault of VIM. Randall,
of Utica, according to the statements
made to the police by James Dogherty
and John Livingston. According to
their story Randall fired twice at
them, point blank with a shot gun,
heavily charged with large shot. The
trouble arose over an alleged loss by
Livingston of $50 and Randall claims
that Livingston said he stole the
money from him.
Randall has been staying for a
short time while here with his father
in-law, Buck" Kelley, on Boylston
street in East Newark.
According to the story told, Livings-
ton and John DOgherty were walking
along the Pan Handle tracks at Oak
wood avenue about midnight, when
of a sudden they were almost blinded
by the flash from shot gun and shot
rajned about their heads. They start
ed to run but were startled by anoth-
er discharge of the gun. Fortunately
they escaped lninjured and ran down
the track as fast as they could. The
accusers of the theft are alleged to
be John Livingston and Lew Sprickler.
Randall was arrested by Capt. Swank
and squad of police shortly after
the shooting and locked in prison.
This morning Randall was arraigned
and held to await the action of the
grand jury in the sum of $500, in de-
fault OF which he was sent to Jail.

Ocean Liners Are Fog

Thousands of Passengers Delayed by

NEW YORK. Jan. 27,-Dense fog that
blanketed the harbor and adjacent waters
last night and this morning tied up a big
fleet OF transatlantic liners and coasters
down the bay and OUTSIDE the harbor en-
trance and was the cause of the running
ashore of two steamers In the extreme
western reaches OF Long Island Sound.
The stranded craft were the freiEhters

the H. NJ. Whitney, a metropolitan liner.
plying between here and Boston. Both
grounded I'm the vicinity of Throggs Neck.
Neither was believed to be seriously i'm
periled and this belief was speedily justi-
fled In the case of the Mohegan, which
was floated practically undamaged before
The forenoon was far advanced.
There were no reports OF accidents from
down the bay, but for hours several ship
loads OF passengers were obliged 10 wait
for the fog to lift and permit the liners 70

Rear Admiral Barry
Resigns by Request
Secretary Of the Navy Asks Him to
Retire for the Good Of the
Service and He Does So.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-By direction of
the president Rear Admiral Edward b.
Barry, the former commander-in- chief OF
the Pacific fleet, today submitted his resig-
nation, FOR the good Of the service 1t
was Immediately accepted. The enforced
resignation is the outgrowth Of charges
which have been in circulation affecting
the moral character of the naval officer.
Secretary OF the Navy Meyer announced
that on instructions from the president he
telegraphed last night to Admiral Barry
asking that he submit his resignation The
resignation severing the officers connec-
ton with the American navy after forty
five years OF active service was received
today and his name was at once stricken
from the list Of naval officers. This act
naturally terminated his salary from the
government
In response to a telegraphic request Ad-
miral Barry was placed on the retired list
OF the navy on January "a, several months
in advance of the date on which he would
have retired by operation of law. His right
to seek voluntary retirement was his priv
ilege under the law permitting such action
after forty years active service.
The secretary Of the navy took up the
request with the president and he promptly
approved. Later, however, reports began
to emanate from San Francisco that Ad-
miTal Barry's retirement was forced by q
demand that he resign on account of al
legged scandalous conduct. IL was added
that the officers of the cruiser West Nir-
ginia, Admiral Barry's flagship, were not
satisfied with the retirement, but insisted
on his resignation.
The secretary Of the navy called on Cap
tain Orchard OF the West Virginia for 9
formal statement meanwhile ordering Ad
miral Barry to remain in San francisco
until further orders o.,
! Captain Orchards report was received
4 by the Navy department and when It wa
submitted to the president the enforced
resignation followed.
