CLOSING IN
ON SUSPECT

NEW YORK, July 15.-The arrest
of Nathan Schwartz, now the chief
suspect in the horrifying Julia Con-
nors tragedy, is expected within the
next twenty-four hours in Chicago,
where the search for the suspect has
centred. In the meantime, however,
no other clues are being neglected
and a hunt of the sea by wireless is
under way. together with a land
search in 1000 cities.
The Chicago dispatches state that
the police of hat city believe they
are asst closing in on the man
whom, it is believed, knows more
than any other person about the
tragic fate of 12-year-old Julia Con-
nors, who was found dying from
forty-one stab wounds in a vacant
lot in the Bronx a week ago.
Following the Identification from a
description of a man supposed to be
the ex-convict and prize ring fol-
lower, one dispatch from Chicago
states that the police are certain
that Schwartz is in hiding there, and
every avenue of escape in South
Chicago, where either he or his dead
ringer was seen, Is being guarded.

of the South Paterson Athletic Club,

holm. Strobino came in third.
All Paterson today is recalling
lStrobino's final words before he left
for Stockholm. Mother" he said
I'll finish one, two. three, or break a
|leg." He did not break the leg, but
fulfilled the other part of his promise.
Heads of some of the largest fac

Before the marathon Strobino was
practically unknown, although he had
participated in several endurance
contests. making admirable showings.
He was not looked upon asa great
runner. In every event in which he
was entered he always finished

declared that his youth and constitu-

himself, he would not be SO great

DENVER, Colo, July 15.-Several
men, women and children are home
less, a number of deaths are re-
ported and a million and a half dol
lars worth of property is in ruins
here today as the result of a cloud
burst, which resulted in the over
flow of the shallow bed of Cherry
creek through this city from IL
o'clock until midnight last night.
The big city auditorium today is
a refugee camp. At dawn five hun
dred of the homeless were gathered
there, and are being fed by the city.
Twenty-Five children from 6 months
to 6 years old. whose parents may
have been lost, are in the care of a
police matron.
After directing relief and rescue
work all night, Mayor Arnold or
ganized relief parties at dawn to
begin the search of the ourse of the
flood, which is a trail of wrecked
dwellings and other debris heaped
in the current of South Platte river.
The Chamber of Commerce opened
a relief subscription this morning.

along the course of Cherry creek
early today indicate an augmenta-

outlying districts.
Had it not been for a note of warn

just before the crest of the flood
reached the city, many could not

hours hard rain the streets and sew

came a lull of four hours, during

UPHOLDS VERDICT
FOR INJURED BOY
Judge DUNCAN Dismisses Rule
Brought by Public
Service.

The $500 verdict granted by a
jury in the Essex Circuit Court to
Antonio Minichino. the boy who was
struck by a trolley car and rendered
insane. was upheld today in a deci-
sion given by Judge Nelson Y. Dun
gen dismissing a rule to show cause
why the verdict should not be set
aside.
The Minichino boy. who is now 5
years old. and resides with his
mother at Ii Cutler street. vas sit
ting in the middle of the street near
the tracks of the turnpike road. He
was struck at the base OF the skull
by the running-board of a turnpike
ear on August q. 1910. Suit for DAM
ages was brought through Beecher &
Bedford, and a verdict obtained last
May for $500.
At the hearing the motorman who
was in charge of the trolley car that
hit the child stated thai he mistook
the child for a piece of paper. He
testified that he saw the object near
the track, but did not recognize it as
a child.
The Public Service Corporation
took out a rule TO show cause why
the verdict should not be set aside,
and it was on the argument of this
rule that Judge DUNCAN upheld the
verdict as handed in by the jury.
Additional interest was conferred
| in the case owing to the fact that the
father of the injured child is now
serving a ~seven-year term in State
prison for his connection with GER
tain BLACK Hand outrages.
Joseph A. Beecher said today that
IL would be necessary to keep the
child in an asylum and that the
money received by the verdict would
be placed in the hands of a guardian
for the maintenance of the child.

in London or Paris,
Says Gen. Hine.
THINKS NEWARK NEEDS
MORE SURFACE ROUTES
Believes Paris System, if Used
in Newark, Would Cause
Constant Riots.

European conditions of public SER
vice are such that the local system
of transportation does not surfer by
comparison, according to the opserva-
tior of General Edwin L. Hine, secre
tary of the Public Service Corpora
ten, who returned to his desk today
after a five weeks trip through
England and France.
Although the o~stensible purpose Of
his trip vas pleasure, General Hine
had occasion to study transportation
problems in London and Paris.
MY observation has led me to ap-
preciate more fully than ever our
own modes and facilities for travel
said the general, "and I am more
fully convinced than ever that we
have come nearer the ideal in trans
pcrtation matters than has London
or Paris"
I'VE do not need a subway in New
ark, but we do need more surface
lines. The street railway system OF
London has been improved and en-
larged greatly under the management
of Albert H. Stanley, who formerly
was general manager of the Public
Service Company here"
When asked If the double-decked
trans of London and Paris could not
be introduced beneficially in this
country General Hine replied:
"I do not see how they take the
curves in the road without ~upsetting
But they take things slow and easily
over there. Here everything mus
be done in a hurry. 1t is all hustle

Their system of paying fares ac-
cording to the distance Travelled
seems more equable than ours, but
they have many rules of travel that
would not be accepted in this coun-
try. For instance, in Paris. a pas
senger takes a ticket at the street
crossing before entering the tram.
and the ticket entities him to take
the tram only in the order of the
number printed on the ticket. II
there is not room on the tram for all
the passengers those with subsequent
numbers must wait for the next n

there would be a riot every minute.

street, Saturday. the record Of his
death was today officially changed

After making an investigation the
police were convinced that Kuehnle,
heart broken because he and his wife
had separated, deliberately jumped in
the grinder, where he was cut to
pieces by the knives.
Today it was learned that being
separated from his wife and three
children had made him respondent.
