JOE BOTTOMS
 ASSAILANT IS
 HELD IN $500
Half Crazed Marine Engi- neer Hit Boyton with Steel Bar-Had Ugly Knife in Pocket When Arrested.

Joseph Boyton, son of Captain Paul Boyton, was the victim of a murder ous assault on the water front late yesterday when Henry Gumperts, a former marine engineer, attacked him with a heavy steel bar. Boyton escaped dangerous injury only through his agility, for he managed to duck just as the bar descended with crushing force upon his skull. The bludgeon glanced off his head leaving painful but not dangerous in- juries.
 Gumperts has come to be notor- ious character along the waterfront. Several years ago he held responsible but lately his eccentricities have re- suited in his losing one place after another. He has become so violent on several occasions that he had been taken into custody and one time spent a number of days in the insane pa vilion at Lakeview home.
 Gumperts attacked Boyton yester- day afternoon apparently without pro- vocation. Husky build, with a head almost bare of hair, the crown deco rated with a grewsonme tatooed skull and crossbones, he presents an awe inspiring spectacle when he becomes enraged. Snatching up the iron bar he attacked Boyton furiously.
 Boyton managed to escape, and later the police rounded up Gumperts. When was found to have a long dirk in a leather sheath. The charge of as> sault and carrying concealed weapons were preferred against him, and to- day Judge Wilder held him in bail of $500 for trial in the Superior court.

PATHETIC TALE
 ABATES TAX OF
 MAN IN COURT
Daughter Without Shoes So That Shumsky Could Scrape Together Money for Personal Tax.

Nicholas Shumsky, 100 Garden St., a grinder in the Atlas Shear Co.,, pre- sented a sorry spectacle when he ap- peared at police headquarters today to go on trial for neglecting to pay his personal tax.
 Shumsky was one of four men scheduled to be tried today. All four were discharged. The other three paid their fines, but Shumsky's story of privation which was told first to the Common Councils committee on Claims last evening, made a distinct impression upon the authorities, and they nolled his case when he showed a note from City Attorney Pullman. This showed that the Committee on Claims would recommend that his tax be abated because of his destitute circumstances.
 Shumsky works for 16 and one-half cents per hour, and the best he can get lately is five days a week of eight hours a day. This leaves him $S.6o per week in his pay envelope.
 'I have four children said Shum- sky. "The oldest is nine, the young est three One of the children hasn't had the money to buy shoes for the child, but I kept it because I was afraid I'd have to pay my tax. The girl couldn't go to school without shoes, this weather. But if I went to jail we'd be still worse off.''
 Shumsky is a frail little man, with wan cheeks and lines showing much worriment. The committee on claims was unanimous in voting to recom- mend that his tax should be abated.
 The others whose cases were nolled today, settlement having been effect ed were William Meyer, 2368 Strat ford avenue; Henry Pow, 34 Bishop avenue and Charles L. Hungerford 294 WilmOt avenue.

GIFTED ORGANIST LOSES USE OF HAND FROM FALL ON ICE Miss HarlOWe Forced to Give up
 Position at Christ
 Church Asks City to Reimburse Her For Losses Occasioned by
 Recent Mishap

Miss Bessie Harlowe, organist at Christ church and well known in mus
 ical circles throughout the state, ap-
 peared before the Claims Committee
 of the Common Council, last night.
 in support of claim for damages of
 s1, ,OOO for the loss of the use of her
 right hand.
 Miss Harlowe fell upon an icy walk in front of the Crawford Laundr-'. Fairfield avenue and Courtland street, Sunday morning. Jan. 2, and suffered a fracture of the right wrist. In con-
 sequence of this injury, her wrist be. came so stiffened that she is unable to secure the lateral motion necessary for musical work. Her fingers. too. became so atrophied that her doctors have told her she will be fortunate if within a year the use of her hand is fully restored.
 Miss Harlowe has been obliged to abandon her work in Christ church. Not only has she decided that it will be impossible for her to take up the work in Christ church, she has been obliged to forego other flattering of fers for her services, has lost mum. Der of pupils, and has been forced to cancel a number of engagements. Miss Earlowe explained that, she fell upon the icy walk because a thin screen of snow hid the danger. The committee is expected to rec ommend substantial damages. Miss Harlowe left with the committee the bills of her physicians and an itemiz- ed sta tement of her losses.
 City Attorney Pullman was request ed by the committee to take under consideration petitions for the abate- ment of personal taxes from marin CTS. There are several such cases be. fore the committee. The same off. ciaI was asked to look into the claim of T. J. Holmes, whose blacksmith shop in Elm street was so effective ly barricaded when the street was torn up during 1910, that he was fore. ed out of business.
