BARCLAYS DEATH
BEING UNRAVELED

Continued from Page one,)
Trajectory statements made by Dallan.
and ordered his arrest.
Hotel Employees Rettcent.
One Of the unusual features of the case
10 the retieence OF the Chatham hotel
employees. They refused 10 admit re-
porters TO Barclays room until after the
body and belongings had been removed
They also gave out misleading statements
regarding the shooting.
According to the officers Dallan went
TO the Chatham about $50 O'Clock and
after being In Barclays room about ten
minutes rushed downstairs and excitedly
said that his friend was dead or dying.
DR.. Harris, assistant police surgeon, was
called and he notified the coroner. Dallan
did not wait for them 10 appear.
To one Of the hotel attches he said:
After thinking about the shooting all
night, and upbraiding myself all the time,
and accusing myself for having the re-
volver, I went TO his room. thinking per-
haps he was only hurt. I was Mortified to
lind him dead. could not believe H."
werkias on Murder Theory.
Dallan says that Barclay and he went
TO the formers room about ] o'clock
Friday night. While there Dallan ex-
hibitsd his new revolver. 80 he says, and
Barclay examined II. Dsllan cannot ex-
plain accurately tho circumstances before
or after the shooting. and on this account
the police are working upon the theory
that Barclay might have been murdered.
pallan is positive that he was not hand
ling the revolver when II was discharged.
The odd thing about the case 10 that no
one In the Chatham hotel seems TO have
heard the shot fired, although the at
taches admit that many Of the guests
were awake at the time the shooting 10
believed to have occurred.
Another UNUSUAL feature which the de-
tectives think tends to prove the murder
theory Is that Dalian. level headed
business man. did not report the shooting
10 any one. or try to procure medical as
sistance for his friend, Instead he left
the hotel and roamed about the city ell
night, afraid 20 notify the police, afraid
10 90 back. and almost crazed. This
morning he became calm and returned
to the Chatham.

NAT GOODWIN
SEVERELY HURT
Noted Actor Thrown on Rocks
--Condition Critical.

Los Angeles, Cal, Aug. 16.-Nat G.
Goodwin, the actor, was badly injured
at Rocky point, twelve miles south OF
Hueneme, first by being thrown from
a skiff on the rocks by the breakers,
and then being struck by the boat it
self as 1t was dashed ashore.
Goodwin and a Woman of his com
pany engaged the launch Nora, Captain
Albert Hyder of Santa Monica, to make
a trip up the coast with q view to To-
eating some land which Goodwin said
he wished to buy and convert into a
summer resort.
The woman had q note which she
told Captain Hyder was for an Indian
who lived near Hueneme, and when q
spot twelve miles south of that place
had been reached she espied an In
dams hut and demanded that Captain
Hyder take her note ashore and give 1t
to the Indian. Hyder refused because
of the strong tide and rough breakers,
but Goodwin, taking off his coat, grab
bed the note and jumped into a row
boat.
As the boat reached the breakers line
1t was overturned. Goodwin was
thrown upon shore and stunned. With
the next roll Of breakers the boat was
thrown upon Goodwin. Hyder got
Goodwin into the launch and hurried tC
Santa Monica, where the actor wal
placed in a hospital.
His physician said that the patients
case was critical.

REFORM
FOR TAXATION
Continued from PAGE ID

Senator Pierce declared that when
his commission had reached conclu-
sions which could be formulated into
a report for the legislature, the
county tax boards should be called
together to confer with the state
commission on the form Of the re-
port to be submitted.
Legislation is Needed.
Frank B. Jess, president of the
state tax board and also a member
of the Pierce commission, also
spoke. He praised the county tax
board system and declared that the
boards had wrought many improve
ments. This system, he said, is a de-
cided Improvement upon the one
that formerly existed. He thought
the new association should meet
oftener than annually and that much
good would come from it. Assem-
blyman McAllister, of Cumberland;
A. c. Pleydell, of Union, and Thos.
B. Usher, of Hudson, all members of
the Pierce commission, spoke. 1t was
their thought that a legislative bill
agreed upon by the commission and
including the reforms suggested, and
then ratified by this association,
would stand the best chance Of be-
coming a law.
The officers elected by the associ-
alton were: President, William Car
man, of Middlesex; vice president,
William K. Devereaux, of Mon
mouth; secretary, William L. Dill, of
Passaic; treasurer, Andrew Kenney,
of Somerset.

HANDCUFF KING
PLEASES MANY
LIE Roy, Proctor's HeadlIner
Breaks Locks Under Raritan

Leroy, a handcuff, shackle and
paddock operator, is attracting Wlde
attention at Proctor's theatre the
latter part of this week. He per-
formed several wonderful stunts at
performances yesterday and pro-
poses to do more daring things dur
ing the remainder of the week. HIS
feat yesterday afternoon of jumping
into Raritan bay, heavily shackled
and handcuffed and tied in a bag,
aroused admiration among the spec
tators.
Harry Davenport and Company
loom up to good advantage in a new
comedy sketch which is attractive
throughout. 1t presents Mr.. DaYen-
port as an ardent sutton in a diem
ma when he cannot get money to pay
a cabman. A comedy singing skit
offered by Clark and May is full OF
good entertaining features. There
is not a dull moment throughout the
act. Today only there will be an
added feature of a three-reel motion
picture, a Vitograph special entitled
THE French Spy"
Leroy, the handcuff king, dis
played some of his cleverness to
more than five hundred people off
Bayard's Beach yesterday afternoon.
Leroy and the judges were taken to
a large float several hundred yards
from shore where the water was
about ten feet deep. Handouts used
by the man were examined carefully
by Chief of Police P. J. Burke and
the judges.
The first part of the performance
consisted in binding the hands of the
MAI with a strong chain from which
he escaped under water in short or
der. With his hands above his head
Leroy plunged into the waters of
the Raritan. Suddenly yells of mirth
were heard coming from a direction
about $50 feet south of the float and
Leroy was making for the float,
freed from his bounds. Not only his
trick deserved mention but the long
fetch was also good.
The first stunt was mild to the
second one. The judges fastened the
hands of the performer with stout
chains and likewise his feet were
tied together. Then a sack was
placed over his head and the top Sc
curely closed with six large locks.
The weight of the sack and the
chains was too great for the man to
dive with and he had to be showed
off the float. Ten seconds after
wards Leroy appeared on the sur
face freed from the chains and sack.
Some time today the handcuff king
will try his skill in endeavoring to
escape from the padded cell at police
headquarters.

COMMERCE CT
House Committee WrangIes
Over Plan 10 Postpone Action.

Special 0y United PTsss W4rs.
Washington, Aug. 16:-A fight to
postpone the adjustment of the
Commerce court until next winter
developed today in the House appro-
priation committee. Representative
Johnson, a Democrat, of South Caro-
lima, in charge of the subcommittee
framing the vetoed legislation bill,
insisted upon eliminating both the
commerce court and the seven year
clerical tenure from the bill as OBJ
jected to by the President.
Chairman Fitzgerald disagreed.
He demanded that the commerce
court abolition be incorporated in
the new bill and put up to Taft
again, declaring the could
be passed over another veto. So
bitter was the dispute that the sub
committee decided later to call a
meeting of the full committee.
