EXPERT SEES GREAT DANGER

The Criminal Courts Building, at La
favette Centre and Franklin streets
which threatened to collapse two years
ago. is in a bad way again. Enormous
fissureg. some Of them big enough 10 al

northeasterly and southeasterly wall
sections on the second and third hoors
One Of these yawned itself into notice
Yesterday in the jury room of Part Ill
where Judge Otto Rosalsky was sitting
The others are in District Attorney
Whitman's quarters, on the third moor
on the Franklin street side, near Centre
The Rureau of Buildings was advised at
once.
Judge Rosalsky was so impressed 10y
what he saw in the jury room that he al
iourned court for ten minutes yesterday
afternoon to talk il over with one al the
iurvmen. n. II. Epstein, who is head
construction boss with a firm Of build
ars and is one of Judge Rosalsky's :
friends.
IF or anv other person was the prl-
vate owner Of this building as it is II
would be closed in a jiffy by the city
said Mr.. Epstein.
Here YOU have hundreds OF men,
women and children roaming daily
about the corridors of building that Is

is no stability to the joints of this build

Everything is masonry.

Judge Rosalsky. IF l owned this build
ing | believe I'd be indicted
The old cracks that caused consterna-
tiop and the abandonment Of the build
ing two years ago have been plastered
M and no alarm has been felt. although
a few slight cracks have appeared since
then. Last week workmen began re-
moving the huge wooden beams tha'
have been supporting the keystones OF
the great arches on the various floors
The beams are to be replaced by per-
manent steel columns. AT every poin'
where supports have been taken away
the Building Department has posted big
Danger" and Keep away" signs IN
red letters.
II may he that the removal Of the
! beams has invited the building TO re-
sumo it's old habits of quaking and sink
/ ing. What the end will be is matter
on which the experts seem to disagree
All admit that parts Of the outer walls
and parts of the inner or inclosed court
walls are settling at rather unequa
rates.
some predict that the walls will tum'
bic outward when the psychological mo-
ment $50 to speak, arrives. In such
case great catastrophe is inevitable
Some are inclined TO believe that NJ
such collapse will ever occur.

ISSUES 'HOLD-UP INSURANCE
Premium Costs Former Equitable
Tenant $500 a Day.

A new kind of insurance, "hold-up
and robbery policy" has been issued by
the National Surety Company to cover
such emergencies as that recently faced
H.. the Equitable Life in the transfer OF
securities from its building to the new
offices.
This policy was issued in the name OF
one If the largest international banking
firms in the city, and will be used by
this firm until its securities have been
removed from the old building and
safely deposited at its new headquar-
ters. For this safeguard the policy
holders will pay a premium Of 5000 Il
day
The inability Of the firm TO recover all
it's securities from the building or tho
loss Of securities by robbery or hold-up
during its transfer would call for the
payment Of this policy, which is practl-
cally an American adaptation OF the
kind issued by London Lloyds.

POLICE CHASE IN AUTO
Two Finally Surrender at Point
of Revolver-Crowds in Panic
at wild West EX-
hibition.

a scene that rivallcd any similar pro-
ceeding in a Western frontier town was
enacted in West 10Th street, near Ninth
avenue yesterday afternoon. when five
men suddenly sprang from a hallway
and attacked two men passing by in Il
truck The FIVE men drew revolvers and
began to blaze away with utter disre-
gard Of consequences, narrowly missing
4 score Of persons.
After the smoke Of battle had cleared
away, one man, Harry Holiday. Of No.
493 Herkimer street, Brooklyn. the
helper on the truck. was found lying IA
the street with n bullet wound In his
right leg. He was taken TO the New
York Hospital, where II was said his
condition was serious. Two men, said
To be among the five, were arrested, but
only after a chase through the streets IN

standing on the running board with

1t was shortly after 3 o'clock when

Bullet FusilIade Begins.

Just when the wagon was in front OF
No. 40 West 18th street five men
slipped quietly from the hallway. like \
band of Indians who had been lying In
ambush for their victims. In every
mans hand was clutched revolver, and
before Connolly and his helper suspected
what was up they were greeted by a
fusillade Of bullets.
IL is a poor commentary on the marks
manship of the assailantJ. but not sim
gle bullet found a resting place any
where near Connolly, who, 1t later was
learned. was the intended victim Of the
attacking party.
When the first bullet was fired West
18th street was crowded with persons.
Men. women and children were throng-
ing the sidewalks, the streets and the
Railways. Within "A few seconds from
the time the first shot was fired the
street was as bare OF persons as the
main street Of country hamlet during
Sunday morning church service.
Connolly sat upon the seat speechless
from fright. Holiday, as badly fright
ened. pranced around lodging bullets for
moment. and then jumped from the
wagon and made a dash for hallway.
This proved his undoing, for had he re-
manned on the wagon the bad marks
manship Of the shooting five would
doubtless have left him in perfect safety.
/ As II was. one of the stray bullets struoH
him in the leg, laying him low.
Connolly meanwhile had recovered his
senses. and whipped mp his team and
disappeared in mad dash down Ninth

Announcement is made by the War
Department of the dismissal from
tae Army of Second Lieutenant Ar
mine w. Smith, Marylander, and
well known in Annapolis, having at

Lieutenant Smith belonged to the

was the result of sentence imposed

convicted, and approved by the Presi-
dent. The conviction of Smith, it is
said, was for resorting to fraud in

WASHINGTON WORKS HARD.
Eastern Shore Eleven Printing for
Game With St. Johns.

The work of the Washington Col
lege squad in yesterdays practice was
more snappy than has been seen since
the squad began to get under way for
the St. Johns game 1t showed
marked improvement and was very
ecouraging to the coaches.
The signal drill was unusually
short, and as sooa as the entire squad
appeared on the field the two teams
were lined up, with the varsity on
the defensive. Forward passes were
worked by the reserves for thirty
minutes. while the varsity backs
were coached in breaking them up.
The Improvement in the method OF
defense, as compared with last week,
is marked.
After half an hour of defensive
work the varsity was given the ball
and for the remainder of the after
noon it worked end runs against the
reserves. The sattention Of all the
coaches during this time was given
to the varsity backs in the making
Of offensive interference. The lines
also received detailed instruction il
breaking up plays and defending IL
self.
y One Of the features of the practice
was when Porter, Jump and Turn sr,
all former Washington stars, got into
the second teams lineup for a few
minutes of scrimmage against the
varsity.

THE WORLD IN BALTIMORE.
The Holly Land is in Grave Danger.

The sacredness and permanency of
Christian historical monuments the
Holy Land has seemed so certain that
the mere suggestion that the birth
place of Christianity and the land
filled with the most revered monu-
ments and places Of our religion my
be overrun with hostile Turks and
practically wiped from existence,
causing one to grasp.
Yet that such a possibility is far
from improbable is clearly demon
strated by some of the missionaries
at g rhe World in Baltimore" who
are much disturbed at the threat
that hangs over the Christian world.
a number of those missionaries who
are best acquainted with the Turks
and with Asia Minor, concur in the
opinion that the menace is one to COM
mand the immediate attention of
Christiandom. The opinion was con-
cisely put by Rev. Allan Moore, F..
R. G. S., who has spent some years
in Palestine.
If the Turks are defeated at
Constantinople, they will be driven
out of European Turkey. Their
only recourse will be to fallback into
and overrun Asiatic Turkey in Asia
Minor. There can be not the slight
est question as to what would happen
in that contingency. Christian civili-
cation would be wiped from the coun-
try as written words from a slate.
[ England and the other powers realize
1 this, and it is England who will pre-
vent this desecration, if it is prevent
ed. Let US hope she will not act too
late. -
Not only is "The World in Balti-
more" Missionary Exposition, now
in progress in that city, entertaining
thousands of people daily, but it is
! demonstrating its value as a stimulus
to mission spirit. Daily programs
which sometimes contain as many as
two hundred different numbers, each
one of them aimed at increasing
knowledge of foreign missionary work
and interest in it, cannot fail TO ac-
complish much. The most prominent
public men of the vicinity, clergy
and lay, who have participated in the
program of special days, have sci
high value upon the exposition work.
The constantly increasing crowds
and enlarging programs promise thai
| the concluding week of the exposition
which ends November 80. will be 1
wonderful revelation of interest il
mission work.

Fly Fighting in Winter.

The Civic League is working just
as hard today as they did when
they counted flies in July, but to-
day they are trying to convince the
people of the town that it would
be a good thing to buy ticket to
be found at Mrs. Hepburn's, State
Circle, to a subscription card party
for December Z, at St. Johns gym
nsium.
think nobody saw and appreciated
the results of our work in hy-hght-
ing, as the dealers in the market
house who, with the greatest pride in
our work, would tell how the Civic
League had diminished the number
of flies in the market-house. just
think, where almost everything is
uncovered and where so many things,
as bread, cakes, candies, sausages,
etc. must be eaten as they come from
these fiy.laden stalls without having
had the germs made harmless by
cooking.
When every paper nowadays
poiats to the number of germs and the
many different kinds of germs which
flies carry, is it any wonder thac the
fiy-fighting committee is busy? So
please do help us, for, after all, every
cent spent will bring in heavy returns
to you next Summer This money
will be used for prizes given to school
children for best essays on this sub.
ject, for moving pictures reading
matter for general distribution and
any other way which will be sug-
gested as the work moves along foI
educating the public.
Up to date 2S or 80 tickets have
been sold, but we would like so much
to sell at least 100. We feel sure
you will have good time and if YOU
do not play cards, you can spend your
time over the refreshments of coffee
sandwiches and cake.

BlG-HEARTEDLAWYER
SAVESPOORBOYFROM
SENTENCE FOR THEFT

HARTWELL, GA, Oct. 4.-The big
heart and eloquence of a LAWYER saved
young boy from being sent to the
chaingang or the reformatory for horse
stealing.
A true bill was returned against l..
c. Cox, Jr., boy about thirteen wears
old, charging him with stealing a
horse and buggy belonging to a Hart
county farmer. Being too poor to en-
ploy counsel, the boy, attended only by
his old mother, appeared in superior
court and entered a plea of guilty. ask
Ing, without hope of escaping punish
ment, that he be sent to the reforma-
tory instead of the changing.
j. H. Shelton, former senator from
the Thirty-first district, touched by the
youthtulness of the lad and the care
worn appearance of the old mother,
made an appeal for mercy that reached
the hearts of the jurors and brought
tears to the eyes Of nearly every one in
the court room. After celebrating for
about ten minutes the jury returned a
verdict of not guilty.
