.EL|0NSKY, SHACKLED,
MAKES NEW RECORD
New London Champion SWlmS
Fourteen Miles with Hands
and Feet Tied.

Henry Elionsky. of New London,
Conn, made a new worlds record yes
terday by swimming from the Battery
TO within half a mile of Coney Island
with handouts on his wrists and his
ankles bound together with two strands
Of half-inch rope.
The nearest approach TO this feat, eX-
cept other attempts by Elionsky, is SAID
10 have been that of Miss Katherine
Wallace. of Philadelphia, who was
credited with having made something
less than a mile under similar condi-
tions.
The actual distance traversed by
Elionsky was fourteen miles, as he time
and again zigzagged across the channel
in order TO take advantage OF the shift
ing tide currents. At the finish he was
as strong. apparently, as at the start
and easily could have completed his
undertaking but for the advice Of his
brother. Morris Elionsky. and Captain
Joseph Palsgraf. OF the power schooner
Idle Hour. who thought further stay in
the water would be dangerous on ac-
count OF the darkness.
The start was made from the Barge
landing, the Battery. at 1906 p. m,
and the swimmer left the water at $50
D. m.. making the elapsed time hours
and a minutes The distance between
the two points in as nearly a straight
line as can be followed is thirteen
miles.
During the entire time Elionsky took
no food. water nor stimulants, and did
not change his method OF swimming,
which was exactly that Of dolphin
plunging through the water, generally
with his head completely buried Early
in the effort his eyes began to give him
trouble. and after a short time he could
scarcely see at all. Thereafter he was
guided by calls from a small boat that
kept close to him.
Turn over and take a rest" he was
advised.
"TI drown IL do" was the cheerful
reply, and he kept up the steady
plunging during the entire trip.
The handouts were of steel. of regu-
lation pattern, with one link between
them. They were locked on by Deputy
Sheriff John '. Won Mugge, OF New
York. who held the key and accompa-
MED the swimmer TO see that they
were not tampered with. The ropes
were tied by a sailor at the Barge Of
flee, and so tightly were they fastened
that when II came time TO take them
off II was with difficulty that they were
removed.
Elionsky passed Governors Island at
I .27 o'clock: he reached the Narrows
at + o'clock and went by the forts just
as the evening gun was fired. When
he was taken aboard the schooner he
was practically at his destinations end
and going strongly.
For a part of the way yesterday
r,,opskv was accompanied in the water
nv Paul o. Frommhold, Of the Ameii-
can Lifesaving Society, who lives at
No ,44S --'ast 10Th street, Manhattan.
The fear that a passing boat might
cripple the swimmer, who was invisi-
hIe AT any distance, caused his advisers
IN have him give up the attempt TO
reach Coney. Bound hand and foot, as
he was, It was thought that his life
would be endangered by contact with
any kind OF craft or driftwood, but not
until Captain Palsgraf shouted to him
would he consent to come TO the boat.

COL. J. {. TATE, SUICIDE;
HANGS SELF IN ROOM
Body of Aged Southerner, Kin
Of Late Admiral Schley, Is
Found in Grand Hotel.

Colonel James :. Tate. scion OF a
distinguished Southern family and first
cousin of the lato Admiral Schley, end
ed his troubled life late on Saturday
night or early yesterday morning by
hanging himself in his room at the
New Grand Hotel, 31st street and
Broadway. He had been dead seVerai
hours when his door was forced open.
There was no explanatory note left by
the aged Southerner as to why he hdl
taken his life. 1t is though that recent
unfortunate speculations might haTe
Influenced him.
AS the last years Of his life had been
made hard because Of financial
troubles. SO was his death hard one.
The old man had secured piece or
thin packing cord and tied this to a
hook by the window. The height OF
the hook above the floor was not suftl-
cient TO keep the coloners feet from
toucing the floor, but. with grim deter
mination. he had curled his legs up be-
meath him and in this position slowly
strangled TO death.
Although the exact financial status
of Colonel Tate at the time or Ais
death is not yet known, it is believed
no had been pressed for money OF late.
He received hard blow to his pride
and 10 his purse when the parcel post
act became a law, and il is probable
that this was indirectly responsible for
self destruction.
Years ago. when he was in his hey
dav as a capitalist. Colonel Tate IN
vested 100000 in the stock of the
American Express Company. at that
,imo a gilt-edge investment. a little
later the keen financier and dabbler IN
e,ocks foresaw the coming OF the par
ooI most which meant declines In his
evnress stock, and he tried to unload.
but without success. He even went to
Washington and tried TO have the bill
riled in Congress. Again he met with
failure.
When the parcel post became a re-
o,itv and the heavy losses came, Colo
mol Tate lost every cent of his inyest-
,.ostnent. Since that time, aged and
bont in life's battle, the colonel was not
ooral to the task of again taking up
Tho battle. He grew respondent and
pessimistic.
Colonel Tate had been staying at the
New Grand Hotel for the last five
months. and was we'll known TO the
,,,,nIoves. who were often made happy
bv his generous tips. When repeated
knockings at his door throughout the
Jav failed to bring any answer maid
,oId the manager and the door was
forced.
THE room was in perfect order.
Three suitcases were packed. The
co,oners waistcoat and coat were on
the he'd. but otherwise he was fully
dressed. A handbook was found in his
coat. showing a balance of about SS,-

tastes until his reverses.

In Final Conference with the
Governor His Lawyers Agree
on the Course They
Will Follow.
HINMAN FIRST TO SPEAK
Judge Herrick Complains OF
Unfair Treatment by News
papers, but Fails to Point
Out Any Specific Case
When Asked.

| [Irrom Stafr Correspondent OF The Tribune
Albany, oct. 5.-Governor Suffers
counsel announced tonight that ex-
Senator Harvey d. Hinman would open
for the defence tomorrow, and that
the Governors legal advisers hau
finally asreed, after an afternoon ana
night conference, on the exact line Oh
defence to be followed.
Governor Sulzer took hand in MS
own case tonight at the tnal con-
ference with his lawyers, and as re-
! sult the counsel announced definitely
for the first time that Louis A. Sarecky'
who handled the campaign fund'
wouId be the first witness for the de-
! fence
sarecky said that SI,724 of his Sl3,-
900 account in the Mutual Alliance
! Trust Company was accounted Tor IN
| the Governors sworn statement. ot
! the balance, Sarecky said, SiSi went
through the account simply because ne
! had nut through small pay checks for
{ clerks and stenographers who were
| working in the campaign. SarecKy
| added that about $500 was spent by
him in ways which he did not believe
: he was called upon to account for unoer
I the corrupt practises act. AS an IN
stance of this Sarecky mentioned an
| item of $40 which had been spent for
printing and mailing speeches made by
' connections OF his
outside the State of New York.
Sarecky declared that he believed the
Governor could show that about S2l,-
600 of the money that came to him in
campaign time was not contributions
for campaign purposes.
Judge d. Cady Herrick said that the
plans Of the defence would not be IN
dicated in any way until they were set
forth in Mr.. Humans opening address.
and both Hinman and Louis Marshall
declared that as Junior counsel IN the
case they would not go step tursnsr
than Judge Herrick.
The senior counsel was frankly BIT
ter about what he called "the unfair
attitude of the newspapers When
asked to specify any particular stories
or editorials that either he or the Gov
ernor deemed unfair, Judge HerricS
waved his hand and said that the "en-
tire attitude of the press had been un-
fair and unfavorabe.'
Even the accounts of the proceed
ings right in the courtroom have been
Unfair" said the lawyer. Either that
or the papers do not understand evil
dence.'
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1913-10-06
Fails to Specify.

The representative of The Tribune
offered to publish any statement tnat
Judge Herrick would make containing
anv accusation of unfairness with sre-
cifc details or any other statement
from him. but the Governors counsel
waved that aside with the remark that
he would not attempt to try his case m
the newspapers.
You know that every one or the
Governors counsel is man OF long
experience" Judge Herrick added,
"and we feel that our side of the case
has not been given a fair showing.
Only in the smaller upstate papers mas
the Governor had fair treatment, ana
not always even there
After the offer to publish any state
ment of whatever nature that he would
make had again been made and re-
fused Jud Herrick was asked
whether he would indicate anything as
70 the argument of the opening for the
defence.
There have been numerous versions
of that already printed" he answered.

ernor have reached as TO that! tne
Judge was asked.
mo. | will not say now whether the
Governor will or will not testify, vas
Judge Herricks answer.
To Set Rumor at Rest.
The announcement that Mr.. Hinman
would make the opening address for
the defence and that the general line
of his argument had been decided upon
az to-day's conferences between the
Governor and his counsel was caused
by the rumors that the Governors law
yers were still unprepared for de-
fence within a few hours of the time
set for their opening.
Senator Hnman had intimated
earlier in the day that he would have
copies of his argument prepared at
o'clock tonight. but at that hour he
said that he had not yet prepared any
oopies of his address, and that he did
not know whether he would have any
matter in advance.
This incident served TO strengthen
the reports that the Governor and his
lawyers had been unable TO agree upon
any defence Hence Judge Herricks
definite announcement to the contrary.
1t was reported tonight that the
Governors lawyers talked for the first
time with the Governor alone to-day
Heretofore, II is said. Mrs. Sulzer has
