John Boyle Of Commerce St.
in City Hospital With z
Broken Ribs.
tAmMED AGAINST STEEL
COLUMN BY C0NVEY0R
Machinery Stopped in Time
to Save His Life Recovery
is Expected.

Caught between a heavy iron crane
and column of the building, John
Boyle, of 103 Commerce street, WAS
so tightly squeezed that two ribs
were crushed in two Saturday af-
ternoon In the plant of the American
Smelling and Refining Company.
Boyle was working on the rurl way
or track OF the hosting crane, wfieu
transports material about the copper
department. The crane was then
stationary about ten feet away and
Boyle was at the end of the track
sitting against boulder Of the
building. Although 1t is said a num-
Der of workmen were standing
around. Boyle was not notified when
the crane, which is worked by cleo
tricity. began moving. Before tie
workmen knew that the iron mass
was approaching he had been squee-
zed by 1t against the column against
which he was leaning.
His cries for help attracted atten-
ton and the engineer of the crans
was signalled to back the conveyor.
This was done quickly and the in
Jured man removed from the run
way.
DR.. Ramsay was summoned and af-
ter administering first aid, he had
him removed to the city hospital,
where this morning it was said he
was resting comfortably. ..

THIRD MAN
CANNOT LIVE
Dry Dock Accident Was Fa-
tai to Three.

There is no hope for the life of
Gustav Eliasen, of Mechanic street,
who lies at the city hospital in a
semi-stupor with broken back, ac-
sording to the doctors. Though he
may suffer in that condition for two
or three weeks, his injuries are said
to be fatal. Eliasen, as told in the
NEWS Saturday, was one of the four
men who were crushed beneath a
twenty-five-foot, ten-inch boom when
it fell from place Saturday morning
at the Raritan dry docks.
Andrew Koruna, forty-three years
old, of 272 Hall avenue. who was
struck on the head by the big boom
and killed Instantly, Is survived by a
wife and two daughters, thirteen and
eight years old. respectively. His
wife Is In delicate condition.
George Francis Martin, thirty
years old, of 455 Park avenue, who
died suddenly at the hospital at 2
o'clock Saturday afternoon, besides
having his legs broken, an examina-
ton at the hospital by DR.. G. w.
Tyrrell and DR.. j. G. Wilson disclosed
two broken ribs near his heart
which, it is believed, caused his
physicians. He leaves a young
widow, who was Anna Conroy, of
South Amboy. His father, James
Martin, and brother, Peter Martin,
of ass Park avenue, also survive
him. 1t is said that Martin intended
changing his position and that Satur-
day was to have been his last day at
the Raritan dry docks.
Coroner James J. Flynn, after a
thorough investigation of the trag-
edy, is of the opinion that 1t was an
unavoidable accident, caused by the
breaking of a bolt which held the
pulley that suspended the revolving
boom, and will order no inquest in
the matter.
Eliasen was one of the two men
who three months ago helped to ad-
Just the fateful boom to the derrick.

DISSATISFIED
WITH PRIEST
Members of Polish Church
Want Him Removed.

Parishioners of st. Stephen 3 Polish
Catholic church at State street and
Buckingham avenue, are working to
have Rev. Julian Ziehnski, the priest
in charge, removed. Resolutions re-
Questing his withdrawal from this
charge were adopted by several hun
drcd Of the parishioners gathered at an
indignation meeting in Nikodem 3 hall
at 7o2 State street Friday night. Plans
are under way for similar meeting
to be held in the same place ON Thurs
day night.
Some members of the church have
expressed dissatisfaction about Rev.
Zieinski for the past year or more, it
is understood. They objected when he
went to Europe for the benefit of his
health and objected when he returned,
insinuating that he had spent the con
gregation 3 money for his personal ad-
vantage. Since the time this insinua-
ton was made, parishioners led by
John Skrocki, a saloonkeeper, of State
street and Hall avenue, have been as
sailing Rev. Iielinski almost continu-
ally for alleged failure to issue fnan-
clal SUdCeiueub rs Is CUSTOMARY edCH
year.
At the meeting Friday night and on
previous occasions it has developed
that Rev. ZieIinski did give state
ment of the church finances, but, it
is said, it was not satisfactory to the
complainants. They also charged he
made the statement in church where
they had no opportunity to voice their
objections. They desired the priest s
presence at an indignation meeting in
some place other than the church, but,
it is declared, Rev. zielinski would not
consent to this. Members of the con-
gregation have appealed to Bishop
McFaul, it Is understood, and they de-
clare he promised that Rev. Zielinski
would bo transferred If his work was
mot pleasing to his parishioners. The
Same complainants declare Rev. Zielin-
ski resigned little more than a month
ago and then announced about two
weeks ago that he would remain. This
dissatisfied them greatly and series
Of Indignation meetings are now in
progress. Rev. Zielinski has nothing to
say in regard to the subject.
Printed posters, calling attention in
the Polish language to the indigna-
tion meetings and giving the object,
are in circulation.
The complainants declare the talk
about erecting a new brick church edi-
fee at State street and Buckingham
avenue Is without foundation.

rived. Water was played on the
fire from the front and rear. The
fire fighters drove the flames back
from the front of the store after
they had ruined the stock, but be-
fore they had crept through the
walls and ceiling. In the rear,
where the fire originated, the roar
ing flames could not be kept withiR-
the apartment and they ate through
the ceiling to the rear room of the
Rabiner apartments, where they
burned a piano, a small library of
books, clothing and several pieces of
furniture. The firemen here got the
upper hand and prevented the
tongues of fire from burning, save
slightly, other rooms of the second
floor.
On the lower floor in the rear, the
flames got through the wall and
burned a part of the clothing stock
of Raphael Levinson, whose store
and stock were flooded with water.
The floors of the apartments Just
above, where Mr.. and Mrs. Levin
son and family lived, were also COW
cred with water. though the fire did
not reach these rooms.

on the same floor and his stock OF
dry goods was damaged by the wa
ter. He carried no insurance.
The pharmacy carried $4,000 In
surance on the stock, which Mr..
Rabiner says is total loss. Miss
Chess and the Rabiner facily car
ried no insurance on their household
effects and wardrobes on the second
floor.
Mr.. Leyinson is insured for $4,000
on his stock and household goods.
He probably sustained $500 damage.
The building is owned by Hyn1an
and Israel Shangold, and was dam
aged $1,000 1t is estimated.
Mr.. Rabiner, who was not present
when the fire originated, thought he
had left s119 in drawer in the
store. Later he notified First AS
sistant Fire Chief O'Hara that the
money was intact In his own pocket
Fireman George Nixon found
purse containing sS in the RaUfti1Ai
apartments, which was turned over
to the proper party.

dsembark an army Of two hundred thousand men

time than could concentrate hundred thous-

When that statement was born, Japan was ar
uneducated nation two months distant from our

A Queer Appointment

President Wilson has appointed Francis Bur
ton Harrison to be governor of the Philippine
Islands. Just why he should have appointed this
particular product of gilded New York society
and furnished Tammany is hard to understand.
Mr. Harrison is representative in congress
from New York. He owes his seat to Tammany
Hall, and his large fortune-by-m wharfage. Doubt
less he has performed his duty under the latter
obligation by being dutiful husband. He has
at least on one occasion publicly repaid portion
of his obligation to the sinister power that mis-
rules New York city and state, Tammany.
During the great fight of the Insurgent Re-
publican representatives against Speaker Cannon
and Cannonism, Mr.. Harrison one of the
Democrat members of the House who voted to up
hold the despotic sway of the speaker. He stood
for Cannon and Wall street rule against a reform
of the house rules and government by the people
President Wilson certainly could have found
some member of the progressive wing of his par
ty for the important post of governor of the Phil
ippines. 1t is a great pity he did not do so and
pass up the eminent Mr.. Harrison, clothed in pur-
pie and fine linen, beneficiary of the Tammany
system of commercialized votes and vice and the
protector of white savers for share in the re-
ceipts, the synonym for all that is rotten anC
corrupt and debasing in the life of our nation.

Permit me to say further, individ-

Il have contended all along that our

is framed to serve commerce and the
industries other than agriculture For
fifty years it has Disseminated against
agriculture.
Il would prefer to go on with that
subject now while the banking and

stances, in advising that it go over I'M
