Deschkowich Charged With Set
ting Fire to Woman's Dress,
Killing Her.

Peter Deschkowich, a big boned but
very slender man, is on trial in the
Court of Oyer and Terminer, Judge
Harry ". Osborne, presiding, for the
murder of his wife. Mary Deschko-
wich. in their home in Nutley on
March Is last The crime for which
Deschkowich stands accused was q
particularly vicious one. 1t being al
legged that Deschkowich, following
quarrel over the food supplied for his
breakfast on the morning in question,
deliberately poured gasolene over
the garments of his wife and then
touched a match to them.
AS the match touched the gasolene-
soaked dress and Mrs. Deschkowich
became a pillar of flame, the hus-
band, it is alleged, ran from the
house. leaving his wife and young
child there alone.
The woman was so badly burned
that she died within few hours. 1t
was at first thought that Deschko-
wich had drowned himself in stone
quarry In Nutley and search was
made for his body. Two days later
he returned to his home, having been
hiding in the woods, and only giving
himself up Wneu Iorceu 10 10 80
through hunger.
Deschkowich was arrested and has
since been In jail awaiting trial. He
is being defended by j. Victor D'Aloia
and, Philip d. Elliot, assigned by the
court as counsel, while Assistant
Prosecutor Andrew Van Blarcom is
conducting the case for the State.
It took almost two hours to obtain
Jury to try the case, both the State
and defense using great care in select
ing talesmen. Harry Ennis, jeweler,
of 154 Bergen street, was the first
man called and he proved to be ac-
ceptable to both sides and was sworn
in as foreman. The selection of the
other men did not come as rapidly,
and it was almost the noon hour be-
fore the box was finally filled.
Edward G. Kempf, a surveyor, who
made plans of the scene of the killing,
was the first witness called and iden-
tilted the diagram of the Deschkowich
home. where the killing took place.

Installed CeremOnially


LONDON, Nov. 10.-Sir T. Vansit-
tart Bowater was today installed lord
mayor of the city of London with all
the solemnity and display that an
Client custom demands. The oath was
administered by the new lord chief
Justice, Sir Rufus Isaacs.
1.-THE lord mayors show" was a re-
production of the show of just 900
years ago. 1t was called the triumph
of time and included a number of
curious old floats and detachments
of soldiers and sailors in uniforms of
the period Of Waterloo and Trafalgar.
The civic authority of the lord
mayor of the city of London extends
over a resident population of less than
| 20, 900, the greater part of the territory

Butler Asks for $500, 900
for Columbia University

NEW YORK, Nov. 1o.-An urgent
appeal for funds for Columbia Uni
versity which will make policy OF
stringent retrenchment unnecessary
Is made by President Nicholas Muir
ply Butler in his annual report to the
trustees, which was made public yes
ferday. Columbia Is depicted by
tPresident Butler as a giant in bonds,
with the strength, power ana zeal for
service, but hampered and restrained
by the bonds of insufficient funds To
sunshaclle these bonds $500, 900 is nee
easary.
= This urgent need of the university is
placed ahead of all other Columbia
problems by President Butler and the
demand for new buildings or gifts for
special purposes are relegated to po-
ssition of second Importance. Another
such unrestricted gift as that of the
Slate John Stewart Kennedy by which
snearly 100000 came into the hande
of the university would pull the uni
2versity out of it's pressing financia
need and allow further expansion.

Wheel Collapsed.

PARIS, Nov. 10.-Walter Rutt,
worlds champion cyclist, is dying
here today as the result of q fall just
as he was winning a, race in the Velo
drome d'Hiver. The front wheel of
his bicycle collapsed.
Rutt, once enled from Germany
for running away from his military
service and afterwasd restored to
citizenship through the efforts of the
crown prince because of his ability
as an athlete, is recognized as one of
the greatest riders the cycling game
ever has known.
Frank Kramer. the American cham
pion, was in the Star office this morn
ing when the dispatch telling of
Rutt's accident was received. Kra-
mer was greatly shocked upon hear
ing Rutt's fate, and said that in his
opinion the story was exaggerated
The American champion has ridden
on the famous Paris bike track, and
he declared he could hardly believe
that rider could be so seriously in
jured in a sprint race on the French

REVENUE CUTTER
QUELLS MUT|NY
Of SHIPS CREW
Guard Placed Aboard Vessel
After Offenders Have Been
Subdued.

! LEWBS, Del. Nov. 10.-An armed
: guard from the u. S. revenue cutter
Onondaga was today placed aboard
the American four-masted bark Man
; ga Reva, the crew of the latter hav-
2 ing mutinied on the high seas. The
Manga Reva sailed from Philadelphia
~ month ago for San Francisco with
cargo of coal When several hun
2 bred miles at sea the crew of twenty
eight men mutinied. tied the captain
5 and mate in their berths and took
possession of the ship. Subsequent
~ the officers were released to navi-
gate the ship after a promise had
been extracted that the mutineers
Capes.
A wireless message from the COM
mander of the Onondaga recommend
ed that the bark with the crew
aboard be lowed back to Philadelphia
with the armed guard of the U. 5.
sailors in charge and this will prob
ably be done.
The little marine reporting station
here was thrown into state of eX-
element yesterday when word came
that a ship with mutiny aboard was
coming in At letter from Captain H.
C. Townsend of the Manga Reva
came ashore conveying the informa-
ron about the mutiny and asking i'm
mediate assistance. The Onondaga
was picked up by wireless and came
along side the Manga Reva about
daylight this morning. 1t was stated
when the bark sailed that her crew
OF twenty-eight men comprised SO
many different nationalities that
scarcely two of them spoke the same
language.
! Captain Townsend, who Commands
the Manga Reva, is a native of Bar
neRat, N. j., and has been master
mariner for years. The Manga ReVa
formerly was the British bark Pyren-
nees. and was built on the Clyde In
1891.
In 1900. while bound from Rangoon
10 Newcastle, New South Wales, she
struck the Island of Manga Reva, a
low-lying coral reef In the South
Pacific. for which she later was
named When the vessel struck the
natives, many Of whom never had
seen q white man before. showed
warlike disposition. and the crew
were kept below while the savages
threw poisoned spears at lneIn'
Finally the supply of spears be-
came exhausted and the crew, with a
half dozen rifles, went ashore and
captured several of the natives who
were responsible for the injury of
GONE of the crcew.
For months the SO survivors of the
crew lived on the island without be-
ing molested, subsisting mainly on
and birds eggs. the only
edibles to be found there. All hands
finally were rescued by passing
sailing vessel and brought to San
Francisco.
The wreck was sold at auction in
San Francisco for $235 to Captain
Thayer. who fitted out wrecking
expedition, fioated the ship in March,
1902. brought her to San Francisco,
repaired her and placed the vessel
under the American flag.

SUMMIT, Nov. 10.-Although he
was not candidate for the office
and received but one vote, which he
declares was not cast by himself,
William Adams, a young Democrat,
who resides at Springfield and High
land avenues, was legally elected
constable over Elmer Day, Republic
can, in the First ward.
This peculiar situation arises from
the fact that Day, who is the Repub-
lican county committeeman from the
First ward and a member of the
election board in the Second district
in that ward, acted in the latter ca
pacity at the last primary election,
when he was nominated.
This action on Days part, accord

LONE VOTE, AND THAT NOT HIS OWN,
ELECTS SUMMIT MAN A CONSTABLE

, renders the vote cast for Day at the
general election null and void, be-
cause section 81 of the election laws
makes It illegal for any candidate TO
serve as a member of an election
board.
1t appears Day believed that by not
serving on the election board at the
general election his own election
could not be questioned, although the
primary election certificate filed with
the County Board of Elections shows
that he acted as judge of the primary
and in such capacity necessarily de-
clared himself the nominee, according
to Lawyer Walsh. Day held the office
for three years. and had no oppo-
sition at the recent election. 1t
is now claimed Days previous cleo
ton was under similar circumstances,
as he has been a member of the cleo
ton board In his district for several
years. Day is also local dog warden.
