GIBSON is HELD
ON MURDER CHARGE
Must Face Grand Jury as
Slayer Of Mrs. Szaba

Goshen, N. Y, Oct. 2.-Burton w
Gibson, an attorney of New York city
was held for the grand jury on the
charge of numbering Mrs. Rosa Men
schik Szabo, his client, who persisted
in Greenwood lake last July. The
grand jury will meet next Monday.
DR.. Otto Schultze, who perform ee
the autopsy on the body of Countess
SZabo, was mistaken in his story thai
the woman's death was caused BY
strangulation when he was cross exam
ined at the hearing of Gibson.
DR.. Schultze testified that the deac
woman's tongue had been forced Out
of place and that the epiglottis hsi-
been flattened by exterior force, alio
peristently denied that this could have
been brought about in embalming the
body.
DR.. Scnultze swore he had diagnosed
over 200 cases of strangulation, anC
never yet had been wrong. Although
the witness said there were no marks
on the outside of the throat, he insist
ed that the woman could have beer
strangled without on exterior trace be
ing left.

at work.
No one yet knows what caused the
fire. D. A. Walton, superintendent of
the pier building which burned, said
he was in his office in the northwest
corner of the building when he heard
a shout of 'Fire!" He rushed out In
answer to the cry, and saw flames
licking at the whole understructure OF
the pier. Their source seemed coneen

lay.

Twelve stevedores were working in

THIRD TERMER'S
JOKE ON LABOR
Brandeis Shows Right to Or
ganize Is Not Recognized.
THE PLATFORM IS SILENT.
Noted Lawyer Exposes the Finishes
of Promises Made to Workingmen by
Perkins and His Candidate, Who
Stands For Private Monopoly.

1.-The new party pledges itself to So
eial and industrial justice and specific
ally to work increasingly for effective
legislation looking to the prevention Of
occupationai diseases, overwork, invol-
untary/ unemployment and other in
-dlEio1s effects. incident to modern in
dustry, - but nowhere in that
long and comprehensive platform
can there be found one word
approving the fundamental right Of
labor to organize or even recognizing
this right without which all other
grants and concessions for improve
ment of the condition of the working
man are futile. The platform promises
social and industrial justice, but does
not promise industrial democracy. The
Justice which it offers is that which
the benevolent and wise corporation
Is prone to administer through its well
fare department There Is no promise
of that justice which free American
workingmen are striving to secure for
themselves through organization. In
deed, the industrial policy advocated
by the new party would result in the
denial of labor's right to organize.
1.-THE new party stands for the per
petuation and extension OF private
monopoly in industry-that private
monopoly from which the few have
ever profited at the expense of the
many and for the reinforcement Of
which the people have, In the past,
fought so many valiant battles. That
cursed product of despotism, the new
party, proposes to domesticate in our
republic, proclaiming. We do not fear
commercial power Certainly organ
lied labor has had experience with the
great trusts which should teach all
men that commercial power may be so
great that it is the part Of wisdom to
fear it."
The above declaration was made by
Louis D. Brandeis before the conven-
ton of the American Federation OF
Labor, Massachusetts state branch, at
Fitchburg, Sept Is.

FATAL EXPLOSION

Naval officer and Two Men
Killed and Six Injured.
STEAM CHEST BLEW Up
Accident Occurred as the Torpedo
Boat Destroyer Wake Was About
to Start Speed Test.

Newport, r. l.. Oct. 2.-The most
serious accident aboard any OF the
naval ships here in long while oc-
CURED aboard the destroyer Wake,
when the blowing out of the steam
chest on the port turbine.
The accident resulted in the death
of one officer, Lieutenant Donald +.
Morrison, engineer officer of the boat;
two enlisted men, and the injuring
OF six other men, including one officer,
Lieutenant r. l.. Montgomery, who
was acting as one OF the umpires on
board the Wake.
The accident occurred just as the
Wake was about to start on full
speed steaming trial The board, &c
companied by number of the other
destroyers, left Narragansett bay to
make the test. All had full steam up,
and when off the light ship at Bren-
tons reef the signal was given for the
test to start.
Just as the signal was given there
was a loud report from the engine
room of the Wake, followed by a
cloud of escaping steam and the cries
and groans of the men who had been
caught in the room.
Lieutenant Charles r. Train, COM
manding officer of the destroyer, was
quick to respond with the other mem
bers of the crew. AS soon as it was
possible they rushed into the engine
room and brought out the men, all of
whom had been scalded. some more
seriously than the others.
Lieutenant Morrison was so badly
injured that he died within an hour.
Two men were dangerously injured, j..
w. Rumpf and H. L. Wilder, both ma
chinist mates, first class. The other
men were not so dangerously injured.
Rumpf and Wilder died aboard the
Solace last evening fro mtheir iniur,
les. Two other men are in a serious
condition.
A signal from the Wake brought
the destroyer Perkins as close to the
Wake as it was possible to get with
the rough sea. 1t was at first desired
to transfer the injured men to the
Perkins, that time could be saved in
rushing them into port, but the sea
prevented this.
In the meantime a wireless message
from Lieutenant Train to Captain
Eberle, commanding officer of the At
lantic torpedo flotilla, notified him of
the accident, and the Wake was or
dered to proceed at once to the hospi-
tai ship Solace, which is with the bat
tleship fleet
Captain Eberle reported to Rear Adj
miral Hugo Osterhaus, commander-in-
chief of the fleet, and he ordered all
medical officers from the ships to re-
port at once to the Solace These, to-
gether with thlAloctors regularly at
