NOT SURE OF MAYBEE;
HOLD UP APPOINTMENT

Corporation Counsel Lawson has
given City Clerk Nichols an opinion
that William II. Maybee, appointed by
the council, Tuesday night, to sue
coed Samuel Long, In the Tenth ward,
has no right TO seat in the board OF
estimates until after the reconsider
alton, filed by Aid. Burton, is acted
on next Tuesday night. This will pre-
vent Maybee from voting In the cleo
ton of president, next Monday. The
notice of reconsideration was inspired
by friends OF Henry Wobrock, the
Barnett factions candidate for presi-
dent, who were doubtful as to where
Maybee stood. and did not propose to
take any chances. Eddie Barnett says
that his side has enough votes to
elect Wobrock, with few to spare,
but Eddie considered that it would
be better TO play safe and Mr.. May
bee was eliminated. Wobrock's OPP
ponent is rStandish Backus.
The following estimaturs are said
to be pledged to Wobrock: Barnett,
Kramer, Storm, Michalak, Sidebottom,
Delor, Kulwicki, Davis, Behlow. Ank-
lam, irish, Cranshaw, Baumgarth,
Brow, Reid, Theel, Bressman, Dinge-
man. Wobrock and Wenzel.
Wobrock's friends claim TO have YER
bal pledges from two others.

AGED MANS LIFE GROUND
OUT UNDER CAR WHEELS
w. X. Perry, Visitor To City,
Victim of Deadly "Y" at
Woodward and Atwater.

William X. Perry. about 20 years
old, who lived in Canandaigua, n. Y,
was Instantly killed by a Third-st car
as II was backing up on the "Y" at
Woodward-ave. and Atwater-st., short
~ after o'clock Wednesday after
noon. lie fell under the wheels and
his body was' horribly mutilated. IL
was necessary TO jack up the ear be-
fore the body could be released. The
members of the Aging squadron took
the remains 10 the county morgue and
Coroner Burgess started an investiga-
ton.
Mr.. Perry, accompanied by his wife,
LETT his home few days ago on a trip
TO California, where the couple plan
ned TO spend the winter. They stopped
of here. a few days ago, for the pur-
pose OF visiting relatives, including
Mr.. and Mrs. l.. A. Parsons, No. IT'S
Second-ave., and had just walked from
the Brush-st. station, where they had
been TO make reservations for train
accommodations to continue their
journey. Wednesday night. when the
accident happened.
AT Woodward-ave. and Atwater-st.
Mr.. Perry boarded the Third-st. car
after IL had swung into Atwater-st.
from Woodward-ave.. TO ask the con-
ductor II II would take him and his
wife to the vicinity OF the Parsons
home. Receiving an Affirmative reply.
he started to step on to so inform his
wife, who was standing on the curb.
As he was leaving the car It backed
up on the "Y" into Woodward
ave-, throwing him to the pavement
and under the wheels.
Mrs. Perry saw her husbands life
crushed out and the shock completely
daZed her. For a while she was un-
able to realize what had really hap
pened, and when the full realization
finally came upon her, her grief was
most pathetic. She Is now Frustrated
in the home of the Parsons, but ex-
poets to accompany the remains to
Canandaigua tonight. Friends will go
with her.
The aged couple have two children,
Walter. who conducts big vineyard,
owned by the father. at Canandaigua
Lake, N. Y. and Miss Louise Perry,
teacher in Madison college, Richmond,
KY.
The "Y" where the tragedy occurred
has long been considered dangerous,
because of the Third and some Wood
ward cars backing from Atwater-st.
into Woodward-ave. with but little
warning to the crowds II people pass
ing almost continuously over the
tracks, going TO and from the Windsor
ferry. II is the contention OF many
that the "Y" should be abolished or
Waterman kept on guard at all times.

and he began suit against Colonel
Wentworth in the courts of st. Louis
to recover the amount of the check.
"The foxy colonel did not make the
defense Chris expected. but set up
instead that the check was a forg-
cry. We bluffed 1t out and the case
came to trial. Chris went on the
stand. told the story of the game. and
claimed that the $4,000 was given for
money which he had loaned to Went
worth during the play. He told a
pretty story. but on the cross-examin-
alton the colonel's lawyer went for
him bare-handed. The lawyer had
got some knowledge of our swindling
trip. and asked questions concerning
the most intimate relations between
Chris and myself. substantiated
Chris story, but also had to 20
through the same searching cross-ex-
animation. After Wentworth had told
his story to the jury about giving an
IS, 900 check, which he was willing to
pay they brought in q verdict against
Chris.
Chris left the courtroom in white
heat. He didn't say anything to me
till we got to the hotel. Then he few

down with the butt Of his revolver.
He accused me of giving the informa-
ton about our trip to Wentworth's
lawyer. l denied it. and said 1t must
have been done by Seymour, who had
disappeared; but Chris had 1t in for

through the winter.
The well known polo coat" of last

Long coats OF ratine or eponge in

1t is a noticeable fact that all the

or extremely small. The tailored
bow seems to be the favorite. but
some lovely fluffy bows are also seen.
The combination Of black tulle over
white lace for neck frills and for whole
