Still Prefers First Offer.

Il haven't anything to talk about"
remarked Mr.. Shonts. Il understand
that there was some talk about subways
and we have received unofficially some
report. Our experts are at work ahalys-
ing it. Mr.. Quackenbush will tell You
that we have made an offer which we
still think is the best for sll boroUghs'
The appeal made for his compa
offer by Mr. Quackenbush was based on
the argument that the new lines should
be OF benefit TO all parts OF the city and
not for one particular borough. The

tended to give 10 the borough modern
system Of transportation, while the
B r. r. wanted to perpetuate its ele-
waited system.
The first question is therefore he
continued, whether you want subways
or elevated lines. and the next question
is whether the people OF Brooklyn are
provincial villagers or part OF greater

interests of the whole city"

He declared the plan to admit the

cughs should he connected by lines
operated by one company. he said. so ss

the city for one fare. The admission Of
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit to Broad

TO the putting upon the city Of TWO rail-
roads for all time and the creation OF two

population in two districts.
The Interborouyh was able to givo

bush by connecting its proposed exten-

more years until the Broadway line was
completed. AS 20 the terms OF the two
offers. he said that ;he Interborough gave
much greater advantage 10 the city, AMI

GIRL IMPROVES
THOUGH SCALP IS
ENTIRELY GONE
Belt Catches Hair of Margaret
Walsh at Pencil Co.'s
Factory.
-S0z-SI3 Broad St.

HOBOKEN, May II. - Margaret
Walsh, who was seriously injured last
evening by having her hair caught in
a belt, is somewhat improved today in
st. Mary's Hospital. A score of girls
are ill In their homes as the result of
an accident which happened in the
American Lead Pencil Company's fac
tory. Miss Walsh was whirled about a
shafting a dozen times while weeping
and hysterical girls beseeched someone
to go to her aid. She had been scalped
as though with a knife. The faintins
girls had to be cared for by a physi-
clan.
She left her bench in the factory yes
terday and let down her side combs
Then she went to a mirror which vas
near n of the big machines used in
making pencils. After she had ar
ra. ged her hair she gave her head a
toss to straighten out the luxuriant
mass. :
AS she did so a part of her hair
caught in a belt. Her shrieks drew the
attention of the other girls from their
work. Immediately there was a panic.
There are 200 girls employed on this
floor. and as they beheld their comrade
whirled about the great shaft many
swoonAd.
Frank Murphy, the foreman, was in
another part OF the building. He heard
the cries and Gained the girls on the
other floors who had dashed for the
windows thinking there was a fire.
He then ran through a row of fainting
girls and by a powerful twist threw
off the pulley of the machine.
The Walsh girl, her scalp torn COM
pletely off. her right arm broken and
her thumb cut off. was taken uncon-
scious to st. Mary's Hospital More
than a score had tainted, and most OF
them were speedily revived and sent
home.

Man Takes Revenge on Wife by
Putting Cyanide in
Drink.

PHILADELPHIA, May l1.-Fulhlling
a threat he made a week ago, according
to the statement of his wife, John
Shinn killed himself, his business assoc
ciate and a woman neighbor, and seri-
ously poisoned his wife and a boarder,
last evening in the course of a drinking
party at his home in the rear of 1888
Ralston street. Cyanide of potassium
placed in a %"growler'' of beer which
Shinn purchased was the means used.
The tragedy was the outgrowth of a
family quarrel. Shinn and Burr were
itinerant photographers. They formerly
had an establishment near the Spring
Garden street entrance of the Fair
mount Park. Recently they have been
going to adjacent towns.
About a week ago according to the
police, Shinn and his wife had a quar-
rel. AS a result the wife, according to
her story, told to the police last night at
the Garretson Hospital, where she and
MCKINLEY were taken. told him he
might leave the house for all she cared
This led to the threat on his part of
getting her and the entire crowd who
made her drink and used his home as a
drinking place."

POISONED AT BEER PARTY

The policemen to whom news Oh the
tragedy was told went to the Shinn
home. They found 1t a dilapidated
structure of three stories, one room to
a floor. They pushed open the door ana

Mrs. Shinn was moaning in agony.
Mrs. Shinn declared that recently she
and her husband had quarreled and she
had threatened to leave him unless he
changed his mode of life. He was irri-
tated at this and threatened to get
her." She said she was certain that
the tragedy was the result of his cher
ished resentment. She said that for
weeks he had been sullen and his gay
ETY. before the drinking party last night
aroused her suspicious.
When her husband returned with the
pail of beer, she said she was n of
the last TO raise her glass to her lips.
The first swallow, she declared, made
her ill, and she left the room. She
heard Mrs. Arbuckle scream She de-
clared that when she got gack to the
room, she found Mrs. Arbuckle, her
husband nd Burr on the floor. She
herself Don collapsed. mckinley had
already started for help.
Special Policeman Mulgrew and Hart
found hat the pail of beer had been
spilled In the death struggles, and the
chairs and table had been upset.
The policeman discovered a small box
in the pocket of Burr's coat, which had
contained the poison. 1t was cyanide
of potassium.

Guarding King Georqe.

Carefully as King George is guarded
fewer persons are employed to watch
over his majesty than any other Euro.
pean sovereign. The cost of guarding
the king amounts to about $50 a day.
The kaiser's personal detective staff
costs nearly s125 day, and the cost of
keeping the Tsar out of the assassins'
reach comes at least to 5 80 day. The
detectives engaged in guarding the
king have to be careful to make them
selves thoroughly familiar with the
appearance of all those who come to
the royal residences, either as guests
of royalty, or on business, for King
George would be excessively annoyed
if any such person was stopped by any
member+Of the detective staff. "A per-
son, however. who has any right to
come to the royal residences, if he is
unknown by appearance to the detec-
tive staff, can nearly always be identi-
fed by some member of the household,
and is rarely or never stopped by or
questioned by the>detectives.-M.A A. p.
