Mayor Warns Waldo.

Mayor Gaynor' today wrote 10 Police
Commissioner Waldo a 1000 word letter.
In which he asks the commissioner not
to suspend Lieutenant Becker, alleged to
be the man who received the gambling
graft except on evidence strong enough
to convict. In this lotter the mayor
said:
''1'his is the third attempt OF hunted
gamblers and other criminals 70 break
down the police administration inside of
two years through their paid press
agents. Do not suspend Lieutenant
Becker and put him on trial without evi-
dence to justify his conviction and dis

bit to camor and especially to clamor
chiefly created by the hired press agents
of the gamblers with whom you arc at
war,
I'VE have in this city the largest for
elgn population OF any city. and a large
number Of them are dcnegerates and
criminals. The gambling OF the city is
almost all In thoir hands, not to men
tion other vices and crimes The pub
lished names OF every one connected with
Rosenthal and his murder shows them to
be of this same class OF lawless foreigners
to which he belonged, When the police
arrest one after another and close
their places, they open others. And so
the endless struggle of the police COM
missioner and his forces goes on against
them" +"

mated at not less than $4,000 The
rooming house where the fire started Is
In the upper part OF Lower Bingham,

and some difficulty with the water gave
the flames an opportunity to get a good
start before the fire department could
do any effective work. Several business
houses and sixteen homes were destroyed.
John Scussel, owner OF the building OF
which the Tivoli rooming house occupied
the second floor, was by far the heaviest
loser. He estimated last night that his
loss would amount TO about $40, 600. which
is a total loss. his only insurance, a
policy for $4,000. having expired yester-
day. He conducted saloon and grocery
on the first floor Of the building where
the fire started, the Tlvoli bar also being
on the first floor of the building. ae also

Whitman Explains.

'The statement that I have evidence
enough to convict four or five men In
the Rosenthal case is false" said the dis
trict attorney. II have enough evidence,
i believe, to convict two men, but the one
man would like TO get hold OF is Sam
Schepp. With him in the Tombs we
would have the key TO the situation
1t transpired today that the police OF
New Haven, Conn, had Schepp under
arrest two days after the murder, but
released him because the New York po-
lice snid he was not wanted.
William Shapiro, who made a COM
plete statement to the district attorney,
has established the identity Of the men
who used the gray murder car on the
night of the tragedy. His evidencs Is
strong against Jack Rose. Harry Vallon
and Bridgy Webber. as we'll as against
the missing Schepp.
Three other witnesses whose names
have not been made public declared they
saw Vallon at the Metropole before the
murder. This skaters Vallon's alibi.

Nothing was saved from the Scussel

with all the furniture In the Tivoli
roonang house. the only marvel being
that there was no loss OF life and no one
injured Had such fire occurred at
night IL is certain that the fatalities
would havo been numerous. It is thought
that the FIRE was started from a curtain
that became iguIted In one OF the rooms
of the Tlvoli, probably from match, but
this is only a conjecture. Some sug-
gested after the fire that It might have
been OF incendiary origin.
The burning OF the sixteen homes was
4 pitiful sight. The italian families that
had occupied them succeeded In escaping
to the street. but nothing was saved.
There was plenty of water nfter the flrst
trouble, which lasted but a few minutes,
although that Interval was enough TO give
the fire a start. but the force was not
sufficient for effective use and the Are
lighters were thus at a disadvantages
Yhe little cluster or homes was doomed
from the first. They were dry as

All effort to save them, therefore, was

SPREADING OF RAILS ON LAKE
ERIE & WESTERN SUNDAY
MORNING THREW CARS
OFF-BIG WRECK.
NINETEEN CARS OFF TRACK
Freight Was Ahead Of the Passenger
and Struck the Place First. No
One Was Hurt But Trains
Are Sent Over Vandalia.

1t was Sunday morning that a
freight was going south on the Lake
Erie & Western, ahead Of the morn
ing passenger train. In the train
was car of lumber heavily loaded.
Near Tiosa the train struck a place
where the track expand d, and the
result was that some nineteen cars
were thrown off and piled up in
promiscuous fashion.
It was all freight cars loaded with
merchandise of all kinds. and the
wreckage was a sight to see. Some
cars stood up on end, and others
were broken to kindling wood, as
one piled on top of the other.
1t all happened in few moments,
and was very remarkable in that no
one was hurt. No cattle were in
this wreck to suffer till death could
come to them, as in the wreck at
Davis last week, where the poor
beasts stood in water for hours
with their heads sticking up, until
they could be shot. IF wrecks on
railroads must be, it is a good thing
when cars of goods are smashed up
instead of human beings, and dumb
brutes. Perhaps the new interlock-
ing rail joint that is being shown in
Plymouth at the present time, will
prevent the spreading of rails and
make such wrecks as this one impos-
sible in the future.
The trains on the Lake Erie &
Western road were all obliged te
detour, going from Plymouth to De.
long over the Vandalia, and ther
over the Erie to Rochester, where
they again switched to the Lake Erie
& Wstern tracks. The tracks wer,
repaired by Monday morning, ani
the trains allowed to pass over.

Rev. N. 81. Loose.

Rev. N. H. Loose died at his
home in Upper Sandusky, Ohio, on
Tuesday, January 16.
This word was received by friends
of the deceased in Plymouth. Mr.
Loose was for several years the
resident pastor of the Reformed
church here, and was most re-
fined and pleasant gentleman. Many
of our people will remember him
well. He lived in the house on
Sophia street now occupied by VIM.
Suit. He has been retired from the
active ministry some years, being at
his death about eighty years old.
He leaves a wife and three sons,
the oldest being in the west in a
Pacific coast state, the other two be-
ing business men of Columbus, o.
The records of Plymouth High
school for the year 1889 show that
Clarence E. Loose was a graduate
that year, having among his class
mates Lizzie c. Boss, now Mrs. w.
Z. Walters of Bremen, Miss Estella
Chase, DIR. John F. Kuhn Of Okla
homa City, Okla, Maude NJ. Rey-
nolds, now Mrs. j. K. Houghton,
and others well known to our people.
Clarence was the youngest son, and
is now jeweler at Columbus. Ohio
The Loose family had many
friends in Plymouth who will
sympatize with them In their afflic-
tion. Miss Gladys Hoover was a
visitor at their home two weeks ago
and found them the same kindly
Christian people as when residents
of Plymouth.
