derwriters Favor Jersey Plan.

Panic in Case of Fire,
It Is Contended.

The safety OF factory employees in case
OF fire was again discussed yesterday at
the third meeting Of the Industrial Board
of the State Department Of Labor at NO.
3s1 Fourth avenue The work Of the
board was confined yesterday largely to
fire alarm systems.
Rowland II. Leveridge, OF the New
Jersey Department OF Labor. explained
the specifications OF that state for fire
alarm systems in factory buildings more
than two stories in height According 20
the Jersey law, which went into effect
last June, monthly fire drills are COM
pulsory.
Mr.. Leverdge holds that employees
would become accustomed TO the sound
of the fire alarm bell If II were used
every day for dismissal. The familiarity
thus insured. he suggested. would do
much to prevent fright II a fire alarm
became necessary. He also said that the
continued use OF the fire bell would be
daily test Of it's working order.

also expressed himself as being favorably
impressed by the New Jersey system.
The question Of whether the fire alarm

circuit came up for considerable discus
sion II .pointed out that the closed
system was already in use by the largest
/ factories and was judged TO be the more
satisfactory. II is more expensive than

Or. Howard Canning Taylor, OF NO

Both street and Sixth avenue. the
bullet grazed his cheek and broke n

The woman, who is twenty-nine years
old and a widow. was taken TO the East
51st street police station, where she
recited a long story of alleged incom-
petence and overcharge by the physl-
clan. who performed an operation upon
her several months ago.
Mrs. Turczer has been living recent
w az the home of a family named
Kovak. at No 416 East Sd street. Ma
tilda Boerke, eighteen years old a SER
want in the house. was arrested as an
sccompIice. Both were charged with
felonious assault.
Mrs. Turczer told Detective Cohaine
she had been afflicted with pain in her
back while working last December in
the home of Mrs. c. Cortland Hay. OF
No. 314 West S7th street. and had been
sent by Mrs. Hay TO consult DR.. Taylor.
According TO her story. the physician
operated upon her for appendicitis Mt

5000. all the money she had.
AS there was no improvement in her
condition the doctor told her, she said.
that she would have to undergo an
other operation. She refused and LETT
the hospital, and went to the New

ton was needless. After fifteen DAYS
she went to Bellevue, where surgeons
verified, she said. the opinion of the
New York Hospital surgeons. she
went later to the Metropolitan Hospi-
tai and spent several weeks there.
Finally she went TO the Italian-Huc-
garian Home, No. 80 Pearl street, and
. after she improved somewhat she found
employment in New Jersey. Because
of weakness and inability to do the
work she was discharged, she said,
after four days.
After she had been discharged from
other places for the same reason she
went TO live with the Kovak family,
who were friends. There, she said, she
met Miss Boerke, TO whom she told her
troubles.
Yesterday the two visited the Dis
trict Attorneys office, and were re-
ferred to the Legal Aid Society, No. 239
Broadway When told there that her
only recourse was a civil suit against
DR.. Taylor, Mrs. Turczer decided, she
said, TO kill the physician.
The two women went to Hoboken
and bought revolver, and at 2:3O
o'clock yesterday stationed themselves
at JOth street and Sixth avenue to wait
