him.
Backing out again into the bay, the ship
dropped anchor. We asked the captain if
we might be allowed to take the risk of at
tempting to go ashore in lifeboat. He
said he would give us an answer by twelve
o'clock, or in the afternoon. In the after
noon one of the passenger ships attempted
to land its passengers and they had two or
three serious accidents, one of which re-
suited in DEATH When this accident had
happened and one of our sailors had fallen

that passengers stay within prescribed

who cannot obey orders, we made ourself

FROM JAIL;
ADMITS HIS GUILT
Louis Schmidt, One of Quintet
Who Took French Leave,
Confesses.

Louis Schmidt, who was one of five
men who escaped from the county
Jail on August 9 last, today pleaded
guilty to an Indictment charging him
with escape.
Schmidt was the first man to be
captured after the break, he being
found in Schenectady, n. Y, about
three weeks after his escape. Nicola
DeFino, another to escape, was
brought back from New York city
last week, having been found by
Court officer Charles T. Hummell in
a house in 139th street.
AT the time Schmidt made his es-
cape he was under arrest on two
charges of horse stealing, his brother
Jacob being implicated with him in
both instances. Jacob pleaded not
guilty to the charge and will be tried
next month. Louis Schmidt pleaded
guilty to both charges and will be
held pending sentence and used as
material witness against his brother.
A plea of guilty was also entered
by William Stokes, jointly indicted
with Filomeno DePretis, on a charge
of stealing 126 ounces of silver from
the Eastwood Park Company on No
yember 90 last, the value of the loot
being $3.50. DePretis will be tried on
the charge on January % next.

way to one of the big factories near
the coal yards, stepped one who hand
ed a deputy a slip of paper with the
order that he "show it to Glazier.'
On this paper was written: There
is a man here now who can raise
wages and we are going to get them
even if we are beaten"
This is taken to refer to the pres
ence of James G. Glazier, who is rep
resenting General superintendent
Stone, of the Erie system.
When the coal handlers first laid
their demands for a wage increase
before the foreman and superintend-
ent of the coal yards they We're
told it would be impossible to give
them an answer, because officials OF
the Susquehanna, who could grant
the raise requested, were not on the
ground. The laborers, however, did
not wait for their demands to be
placed before the proper authorities,
but went on strike Immediately.
1t is thought that they believe Mr..
Glazier to have authority to raise
their wages.
To Clean Up Cabins.
Under-Sheriff Robert N. Heath, of
Bergen county, who is acting for
Sheriff Conkling in directing the
deputies who are on guard, said to-
day that he intended making a
wholesale cleanup of the cabins
along the River road and the lodging
houses on the Palisades where the
strikers are quartered.
eWe'll take along the foremen who
know the strikers" he said, "and
we'll arrest every man we find. l
think drastic means are necessary to
bring this trouble to a speedy end,
and If we clap a hundred strikers
or so into jail and confiscate their
arms and dynamite those that we
don't arrest will not look for any
more trouble. You know we can
arrest these men on suspicion of
being mixed up in Wednesdays row
when two were killed and dozen
hurt. We have the strike situation
we'll in hand; there will be no need
of calling out the State troops. Our
policy of going out to meet the strik-
ers rather than remaining merely de-
tenders of the coal yards has proved
good, for 1 think we have the men
thoroughly scared"
Under the cleaning rays of a
mammoth searchlight, large parties
of deputies secured the hillside last
night, scattering groups of strikers
wherever they were found, These
skirmishers were sent out in the fear
that sharpshooting strikers might
take pot-shots from behind the rocks
on the Palisades at the deputies dis
closed by the campfires that burned
in the coal yards during the night.
These fears proved groundless, how
ever, for most of the strikers met
were unarmed. A few carried re-
volvers, but the deputies 'frisked"
them for their guns, meeting with no
stout resistance.

STARS GAFFNEY
FUND NEAR S1,7OO
This Amount Will Be Greatly
Increased by Benefits
Planned.
CAFFNEY FUND TO DATE

Almost $1,7oO has been collected for
the family of Plainclothesman John
J, Gaffney, who was shot in the per-
formance of his duty a week ago to-
day, and the contributions still con-
tinue to come into the office of the
Star.
This amount represents merely what
has been collected by this newspaper.
What will go to the family when all
money is in will probably be four or
FIVE times this amount.
Gaffney's brother officers in all the
precincts of the city are contributing
to fund, and on account of their in
timacy with the murdered officer have
been particularly generous. The total
of the police fund to date has not
been announced, but every member of
the department is helping to in
crease it,,
Then there are several benefit per-
formances to be given at local thea
tres for th fund, basketball and foot
ball games and boxing exhibitions, the
receipts of which will be sent to Mrs.
Gaffney.
A concert will be given at the Gay
ETY. Theatre Sunday for the fund.
The police band will play and several
well-known singers have offered to
appear. Leon Evans, manager of the
house, has donated the use of the
theatre.
Another benefit performance will be
given at Miners Empire Theatre Sun
day, December %. Manager Frank
Abbott, in addition to giving the use
of his theatre, is also arranging a
vaudeville bill to be made up entirely
of headliners.

"FRUIT SOLVES HIGH COST

KANSAS CITY. Dec: 13.-That a

the ruling is that the commission may
