measure due to the good work done by
the members of the band and their
able leader, Capt. Jos. G. Hofmeister.
In speaking of the band the Mankato
Free Press had this TO say in its issue
tho day after the boys came home
from camp: "The Second Regiment
Band came In for many compliments
from. Msnksto people who heard the
organization! 10 II marched up Front
Street last evening. II 10 . fine
musical aggregation and New Ulm
should feel proud Of it."
New Ulm does feel proud of it, band
and delights in hearing its praises
sung and in speaking about their
splendid work. But absolute frank
ness and self-honesty compels the
admission, that the band boys have
not been given quite the financial
assistance they 90 richly deserve.
There has been Improvement in that
respect in recent years % 10 shown BY
the series of band concerts in
German Park annually; and within
the last few months the business men
have subscribed the funds :ecessary
to purchase 3 bsssoon and four
saxophone instruments lsoprsno,
alto, tenor and baritone) which ar
rived last week and are now on exhi-
bition at the Pioneer Drug Store.
This, however, is no circumstance
to what other cities do for their bands.
Upon inquiry Mr.. Henningsen, .
member of the park board, learned
that the city of Watertown, s. d. paid
is band $500 for 20 concerts last year
and the daily papers within the last
few weeks have proclaimed in big bead
lines that the Rochester band costs
that city this year fully $4,000.
Without in the least disparsging
the good work done by the members
of the band, it must be said that .
great deal of tie success which the
organization has achieved, has been
due to the untiring efforts OF its
efficient leader, Capt. Jos. G. Hot

Joseph Groebner, farmer living ia
the neighborhood of Sleepy Eye, who
has been making joy-rides to our
beautiful city almost every week, met
with an accident Sunday which had .

The accident happened Sunday
about $50 p. %. Mr.. Groebner wss

turning he lost control OF the steering
wheel and before he realized what wss
happening, the car had turned hall

top was smashed, wind shield broken

THOUSANDS FLEE
FROM VOLCANO
colima's Eruption, First Since
1903, May Be Attended With
Loss of Lives.

GUADALAJARA, Mexico, Jan. 21.--
The volcano of Colima broke into vio-
lent eruption last night. Thousands
of people are fleeing from the villages
and ranches in the vicinity. 1t is be-
lieved that there has been some loss
of life in the remoter settlements.
Hundreds of refugees arrived in
this city this morning on train COM
posed of box cars which had been
picked up on a siding at a nearby
village. The fleeing people had found
it necessary to shovel away a guam
tity of volcanic sand before they
were able to move the cars. and for
many miles along the way the train
had to be stopped frequently to clear
the track of debris.
Very little lava was elected from
the crater. which. however, emitted
vast quantities of smoke and sand,
while suffocating gases formed an
unusual feature of the eruption.
A gale was blowing from the north
west and this probably saved many
of the inhabitants of the surrounding
as it caused the flying sand
and deadly gases to pass over their
heads.
The last violent eruption of Colima
occurred in 1908.

Newark Sisters to Ask Manhat
tan Judge to Put Him in
Their Custody.


When the Rev. Robert w. E. Mar-
rington, of Essex Fells. is arraigned
in the Second District Court, New
York city, this afternoon an effort
will be made to have him committed
to sanitarium.
This move is planned by the rec
tors sisters, Mrs. George A. Rogers.
of l Wallace street, this city, and
Miss Marguerite Merrington. OF New
York city.
At Bellevue Hospital, where he has
been confined since he attempted sui
eide by slashing his wrist last Sat-
urday, 1t was said today that the
rector's condition had improved STIFF
ficiently to permit his removal to
court.
1t has not been determined whether
the police will press the charge of at
tempted suicide, but it Is thought
that Magistrate Paul c. Krotei, be-
fore whom the rector will be arraign-
ed, will allow his relatives to remove
him to a sanitarium. 1t was stated
today that the rector will not be
brought to the Rogers home here.
The congregation at the Essex Feils
Episcopal Church.. over which the
Rev. Mr.. Merrington has presided, se-
lected William Desperd as layreader
at the services. Bishop Edwin s.
Lines announced that a substitute
will be appointed each week to the
Essex Fells pulpit until it is definitely
decided whether or not the Rev. Mr..
Merrington will return.

said, has given his sister a rare art
treasure which he purchased recently
The license will be got from Robert
Dashwood, clerk of the town OF
Greenburg. They may drive to Clerk
Dashwood's Office on the way to
Lyndhurst, or he may be asked to
come to Lyndhurst to save Miss Gould
the embarrassment of being stared at
by curious crowds. BY taking his
seal with him the clerk can issue the
license as legally at Lyndhurst as in
his own office.
The ceremony will be performed In
the drawing-room for sentimental
reasons. 1t was in this room that
George Jay Gould, Miss Goulds
brother, married Miss Edith King
don. and here the children of her
other brother, Frank Jay Gould. were
christened.
The Rev. Daniel Russell, pastor OF
the Irvington Presbyterian Church,
was at the rehearsal After the
rehearsal there was dinner at
Lyndhurst and it is probable that Mr..
Shepard will remain there overnight
to avoid an early trip from New
York tomorrow.
Not more than seventy-five guests
will attend the wedding ceremony
including all the members Of the
Gould and Shepard families, except
Mr.. Shepard's mother, who is ILL.,

Final Move to Liber-
ate ConvictedMem-
Der of Board.
N. ]. TRIBUNALS REFUSED
TO GRANT HIM NEW TRIAL
Accused of Tampering With
Ballot Box and Sent to
Jail for Year.

Paul r. Lefferts, of this city, has
served notice on the prosecutor s
office that he will appear before Chief
Justice White in the United States
Supreme Court, in Washington, to-
morrow, and ask for a certificate for
a probable cause of appeal in the case
OF Marcus Van Ness, an election judge
In the Fourth ward, who was arrested
after the primaries of 1910.
First Assistant Prosecutor Fred r.
Lehlbach will go to Washington To
oppose the granting of the appeal.
This move on the part of Mr.. Lef-
ferts is the last of several taken by
himself and City Counsel James r.
Nugent to liberate Van Ness, who is
now serving term of one year in
the penitentiary.
Van Ness, charged with tam
pering with the ballot boxes, was ar
rested and tried before Judge Davis
in February, 1911. At that trial he
was represented by Mr.. Nugent. The
jury. after being out eight hours, and
standing eleven to one for conviction
finally reported that they could not
agree.
They were discharged by the clerk
of the court, who afterwards tele-
phoned to Judge Davis A new trial
was ordered and in June, 1911, Van
Ness was convicted and sentenced to
one year.
An appeal was taken by Mr.. Nugent
on the ground that there should not
have been another trial, since the
jury in the first trial had not been
properly discharged. Judge Davis.
however, sustained the clerk and the
appeal was denied A writ of error
was then sought in the Supreme
Court. but this also was denied.
The case was then taken to the
Court of Errors and Appeals, but in
vain, and on September 20. 1912, Van
Ness was committed to the peniten-
fiary for one year, Mr., Lefferts, who
was assisting Mr.. Nugent in the case,
then appealed to the Supreme Court
of the United States for another trial,
but his request was denied.
In an effort to serve his client. Mr..
Lefferts then sought from Judge Mar
tin writ of habeas corpus and finally
an application for bail from United
States District Court Justice Cross, all
of which we're denied.
A week or so ago Mr.. Lefferts noti-
fed the prosecutor of his intention to
appear before the United States Su-
preme Court in an effort to free Van
Ness.

Interests of Elizabeth
Man.
IFrom q stan Corrcspondent.l


TRENTON, n. J.. Jan. 2l-GoY-
ernor Wilson this afternoon re-
ceived a delegation of labor men who
urged upon the executive the name
Of John T. Cosgrove. of Elizabeth, as
commissioner of labor to succeed
Lewis T. Bryant. The delegation was
headed by Samuel Botterill. of East
orange, and Arthur A. Quinn, OF
Perth Amboy
The visit developed two conspicuous
situations One was that Governor
Wilson is fully determined TO reap
point the present incumbent and the
other situation is that the delegation
was asking the appointment OF one
of their own ranks. not as a faNor'
but practically as a right.
Samuel Botterill. of East Orange,
who spoke for the delegation. while
COUGHING his words in kindly Ian
guage. said the 100000 unionized Ia
bor men of the State demanded
the naming of a labor man.
Mr.. Botterill prefaced the use of
the word demanded by saying he
wanted to fully impress the governor
with the position of the labor men.
He said the position should be filled
by a labor man who understood the
needs and necessities from the labor
point of view.
Governor Wilson said that one OF
the difiiculties in the way of con-
sidering the claims put forth by Mr..
Botterill was the splendid record
made by General Bryant in his
office.
This, Governor Wilson said, enti-
tied General Bryant to be considered
for. reappointment, but he also SAID
he would consider Mr.. Cosgrove.
