Albany, March %. - William
Barnes, Jr., chairman of the republic
can state committee, is severely criti-
cised by the senate committee which

tons put to him while on the witness
stand by the committee concerning
his acquisition of stock in the J. B.
Lyon company, a local printing cor
poration, and refused to produce
books of the Journal company OF

clared in contempt and the matter
was carried to the court of appeals

In reference to Barnes the report
says in part: 1.-The most conspicuou:
beneficiary of graft, public extrava
gance and raiding of the municipal
treasury We find, from evidence, Il
be William Barnes, Jr.. himself, al
owner of a majority of stock of the
Journal company
The committee recommends tina

NIAGARA SCENE OF TRAGEDY
Great Ice Jam Gives Way and Carries
Three Pleasure Seekers Down the
River TO Their Death.

Niagara Falls, NJ Y.-The great ice
bridge that has choked the river chan
mel between the cataract and the up
per steel arch bridge below the falls
for the last three weeks, broke from
its snoring at noon Sunday and went
down the river, taking with it to their
death man and woman, said to be
Mr.. and Mrs Eldridge Stanton, of To-
ronto, Canada, and Burrell Heacock,
IL years old, of Cleveland, o.
-Four other persons were on the ice
at the time, but managed to get ashore
In safety.
The bridge was considered safe. For
weeks the great fields of ice had been
coming down the river, piling UP
against the barrier until it was from
sixty to eighty feet thick and under
the influence of zero weather the great
mass had become anchored firmly to
the shore. The jam was about 1000
feet wide and in some places quarter
of mile In length
For two weeks it had offered safe
passage and Sunday an immense
crowd of excursionists came to view
the winter wonder of the river. Had
the accident happened an hour later,
hundreds would have lost their lives,
for the crowd was moving into Pros
pect park in the elevators that run
down the cliff for the purpose of ven-
turing out upon the ice.
