rear. Askew caught sight of Ed

negro turned with an oath and reach

in Walsh's precinct alone. Walsh
and Sipp were the states chief wit

INSISTS THAT He

Clash Between Village Attorney
and Trustees
CENS0niNG OUR VAUDEVILLE
Report of Committee and Petition
Presented at Trustee Meeting
Last Evening.
CENSORiNG OUR VAUDEVILLE

The village trustees had a long
sion, at the regular monthly meeting
last evening. All of the members
were present, President Ward presid-
ed and Clerk Hogan and Corporation
Attorney Charles A. Maurer were in
attendance.
The strained relations" between
the board and the corporation at
torncy which have existed for a num-
Der of weeks were responsible for
much of the discussion and the con-
troversy was created by three bills
which came before the board to be
audited. One was for the recording
of the deed of gift for the water sys-
tenn in the town of Stamford, another
was for automobile service to take
the deed and the corporation attor-
ney to the office of the town clerk
in Woodford for similar purpose
and the third was for the printing
and binding by j. H. Livingston of
two order books ordered by the cor
poration attorney.
After some discussion the bills for
recording and automobile hire were
passed but the bill for printing and
binding was laid upon the table.
The corporation attorney stated
that he had asked the clerk for an
order book and had been informed
thai there were none in stock. He
then procured the two books from
the Livingston press Mr.. Maurer
stated that the charter gave him the
right to draw orders against the viii
lage for services in connection with
the duties of his office, that he should
continue to draw orders so long as
he was the corporation attorney and
that if the board instructed the vii
lage treasurer not to pay his orders
that he should bring mandamus pro-
ceedings against the board. you
are no more to me than any other
client" declared the attorney in ad-
dressing the board. Il am standing
within my rights as corporation at
torney and in so doing am sustained
by some of the best lawyers in the
state" Don't ask ay lawyer in this
town." he continued, but consult any
attorney in the northern part of the
state and he will tell you that | am
correct" Mr.. Maurer insisted that
n the prosecution of suits and the
transaction of other legal matters he
was authorized under the charter to
pay entry fees, witness fees and 9TH
er expenses, pay for the same him
self and to draw his order in the
same manner that he would transact
business for a personal client. Presi-
dent Ward and Trustee Holden took
the ground that the attorney had au
thority to so act only in appealed
cases, but the attorney asserted that
he could draw orders for such ex-
penses in original proceedings. The

RIOTlNG IN SYRACUSE
Twenty-Five Wounded in Street
Battle With Police.

Syracuse. N. Y, May 7-Determin
ed efforts were being made last night
to settle the strike of building labor
; ers which yesterday developed a
seres of riots in which rs persons,
nine of them policemen, were wound
ed. The strikers yesterday after
noon appointed committee of eight
to wait on the employers and ask
that the wage dispute be adjusted by
arbitration. The contractors have
signified their willingness to arbi-
trate. Order was restored with the
first negotiations for a settlement
and the members of the three SYRIA
cuse companies OF state militia,
called out when the riot situation as
sumed serious aspect, had nothing
to do.
The strike started last Thursday
when 2500 laborers and .hod-carriers
demanded an increase in wages.
They received 26 cents an hour and
asked for an increase based on a
sliding scale from 80 to 40 cents an
hour. The contractors rejected the
demands. The strikers, mostly for
eigners, had paraded the streets
daily, and yesterday morning 500 of
them attempted to force workmen
from a structure on the square in
front of the cathedral of the Immacu-
late Conception. Fifty policemen
and a fire company rushed to the
scene were greeted with a volley of
bricks, stones and clubs. The police,
to brighten the strikers, fired their re
volvers into the air. The rioters,
however. endeavored to charge the
officers and several of them fell with
their scalps opened. The weapons
of the police were then lowered and
fired direct at the strikers. A large
number of the workmen were wound
ed. The others fed. The police
took 20 prisoners, 10 of whom were
hurt.
OF the policemen injured in the bat
tie, David Tumpowsky, sustained a
fractured skull. He was hit with a
brick and his condition is serious
The other officers were cut and
bruised Guiseppi Vasta was shot
through the abdomen and his recov-
cry is not expected. Martin Lull, a
spectator, was shot in the shoulder
After this disturbance, Chief of Po-
lice Cabin ordered the police to shoot
to kill at the first sign of a riot.
Protect yourselves and protect prop
erty," were Instructions. Several
other clashes occurred between the
strikers and the police and in these
several persons were slightly in
jured
