FUNDS EXT0RTED
BY BOTH PARTIES
!. BACMEN "A YEARS
Erie Canal Employee Says
Money Was Taken from
Pay Envelopes.

ALBANY, N. Y. Dec. 27.-For four
teen years, under both Republican
and Democratic administrations,
workers on section one of the Erie
canal have been forced to pay politi-
cal assessments, Harry Bogue testi-
fled before Governor Glynn's investi-
cation commissioner today.
rs there any way to stop this prac-
tise?" Commissioner Osborne asked.
mo" Bogue replied. ''The men
have soft jobs and they are willing to
give up part of their wages"
Bogue was a clerk on the canal for
fourteen years and told today of his
aid in collecting campaign funds dur
ing 1912. This money, he said, he
turned over to Owen Kearney, super
intendent of the section, who in turn
distributed IT to various Democratic
organizations.
The collectors took no chances on
the voluntary contributions of the
workers. Bogue testified that the
money was taken from the pay en-
velopes before they were turned over
to the men.
In 1911, Bogue declared, the various
fQremen made collections from their
employees. Regardless of whether the
Republicans or Democrats were in
power, collections always went to the
canal section superintendent. When
Bogue started to work on the canal a
Republican superintendent was in
charge. Collections usually began
five months before election and con-
tinued until election day, Bogue said.
James X. Mcclure, former mayor of
Syracuse, was on the stand for short
time this morning. His testimony de-
veloped nothing new.

mated that there are about twenty
of the clan concealed in the mine
shaft. There are thirty-five picked

killed by the posse.
After this skirmish the Henrick-
SONS fled to the mountains and were

tionaI Popularity by His Con-
duct as Fire-Fighter.

PASS CHRISTIAN, Miss, Dec. a.
President Wilson today slept late
and it was after 9 o'clock before he
left for his morning game of golf
over the course Of the Mississippi
Country Club, thirteen miles away
For the first time since he left
Washington the President had a
ruddy glow on his cheeks. He had
grown somewhat pale during his
recent illness, but rest, bracing air
and exercises apparently have re-
stored his health.
Citizens of Gulfport, through which
the President daily passes on his way
to the golf club today were on the
alert to see him. Mr. Wilson's PROV
ess as a fire fighter has added to his
fame here. One member of the vol
unteer fire department of Gulfport to-
day revealed the discovery that Pres
ident Wilson is quite mandatory In
emergency.

residence waiting for the apparatus
to arrive" he said. when a man came
up He noticed my uniform and asked
why ! was standing there looking at
the fire.
why don't you get up there and
help?' he asked. / told him I couldn't
go up until the hook and ladder
wagon came.
"'Well, he said, my men could
climb up inside. / don't see why you
can't. IT suddenly dawned on me that
was talking to the President and
went inside to help"
Gulfport citizens are considering a
formal vote of thanks to the President
for his part in preventing the destruc-
ton yesterday of the Neville home,
one of the handsomest residences
there.
President Wilson was chilled when
he reached the clubhouse and sought
the comfort of log fire Later he
played golf with DR.. Grayson, APP
parently enjoying the game. Leo
Cruthirdes was selected from a group
of eager youngsters as the President S
caddy Mr. Wilson today played
more slowly and carefully than he
did yesterday making better score.
He left for Pass Christian at II
O'clock After the President left the
caddies discussed hts golfing ability.

SIDNEY M COLGATE HAS BATTLE WITH
MAN-EATING SHARK AT FLORIDA RESORT

PALM BEACH, Fla, Dec 27.-The
adventures of two holiday fishing
parties with sharks aroused a great
deal of interest yesterday among per-
sons stopping at the Breakers Hotel.
Claude Reese, seventeen years old,
son of T. r. Reese, president of the
Farmers Bank and Trust Company,
narrowly escaped death when shark
which he had harpooned pulled him
off the Prov of a motorboat into the
water and attacked him. Another
shark was killed by Sidney M. Col
gate, of Orange. N. j., president of
the Orange Board of Education,
within the sight of a dozen persons
stopping in the hotel who were on
the hotels ocean pier.
Young Mr.. Reese and A. G. Van
Camp, of Auburn Park. and Donald
Lainhart, of West Palm Beach, Fla,
were fishing for mackerel with cast
net and troll about two miles at sea
when Mr.. Reese, standing at the
PROV of the boat, spied the shark,

COLD ADDS PERIL
TO MONTREAL
WATER FAMINE
Break in Main Cripples System.
Big Buildings and HOspi-
tails Unheated.

MONTREAL, Dec. 27.-With a pri-
vate concern supplying half the
city's normal demand for water,
water carts delivering the supply TO
hospitals. and private citizens carry
ing pals to fire hydrants ON some
streets. Montreal is having fore
taste of conditions which will prob
ably prevail for ten days. 1t is esti-
mated that it will take that time to
make repairs to a sixty-foot break
in the main water supply conduit
which occurred yesterday.
Zero weather today increased the
suffering caused by the water famine
Many big buildings. including two
hospitals. put out their fires because
they could get no water for their
steam boilers. The cold hampered the
distribution of water i'm tank carts
because the water froze before il
reached consumers. In the hospitals
doctors and nurses went about their
duties in fur coats and extra blankets
were heaped upon the patients. Many
business offices We're closed from lack
of heat.
Mayor Lavelle's advice that the
manufacturing plants shut down tenn
railroads are having trouble getting
water for their locomotives. The
hotels have bought up the supply of
aerated and distilled waters and are
dealing 1t out in small pitchers with
the request that guests drink as SPAR
ingly as possible. In most of the
hotels bathers are unthought of.
The city faces two dangers, fire and
disease, owing to the lack of sanitary
conveniences.
Several days must elapse before the
sixty-foot break in the intake pipe
from the St Lawrence, which caused
the trouble, can be repaired.
The city pumps have been shut
down and the best the officials OF
the Montreal Water and Power Com
pany, a concern which has come to
the aid of the civic department, can
promise is a supply of 900 gal
Ions per day, or about half the city's
normal consumption. and at lower

feet separating them Reese threw one
arm over the gunwale Of the boat.
A roll of the craft Fortunately caused
the shark To miss the lad and with
tremendous speed to strike the boat.
The impact tore hole in 1t six inches
below the water line. With his free
hand Reese grasped a small axe off
the Prov Of the boat, and when the
infuiiated fish, like n lightning flash,
renewed the attack, the lad struck
him and he recoiled. Then Mr.. Van
Camp pulled Mr.. Reese into the boat,
which was rapidly filling with water.
The flood was partly stayed when
two coats were thrust into the hole.
Mr.. Reese, who had not let 20 the
harpoon, pulled the shark within
striking distance, and after great diff
ficulty killed 1t with the axe.
The fish measured eleven feet and
eight inches. Mr.. Colgate was fishing
this morning with his son, S. Bayard
Colgate, and two young daughters,
Margaret and Caroline ID. Colgate,
half a mile out from the pier, when
n shark which measured thirteen feet
came close TO the boat. Mr.. Colgate
karpooned him. The fish attacked the
boat, splintering it so that 1t leaked a
bit. Mr.. Colgate set the motor of his
boat at full speed and towed the fish
in near the pier, where 1t was shot.

FOR [AUD|SI AS
Jury IS UPHELD
Court of Pardons Had Refused
to Change Sentence to Life
Imprisonment.

The Court of Pardons at Trenton
today refused to grant communication
to life Imprisonment in the cases OF
Antonio Fiore and Alfonso Laudisi,
sentenced to death from this county
for murder Fiori will die in the
electric chair during the week be-
ginning Sunday, February 8, while
Iaudisi was under sentence to be
electrocuted during the week begin
ming Sunday, January 5.
An application for a new trial Will
stay the execution of the death sem
tenee on Laudisi, as John A. Bern
hard, his counsel, appeared before
Supreme Court Justice Charles w.
Parker ar the Court House this
morning and made formal applica-
ton for new trial for Laudis1.
The application for a new trial
should have been made before Judge
Harry V. Osborne, the trial judge, but
he is in Virginia for the Christmas
holidays and could not be reached in
person to hear the application.
AS the law requires that the appli-
cation be made in open court to the
trial Judge, Mr.. Bernhard was in
doubt as to just what procedure to
follow, and so was Justice Parker.
Following a conference between the
two it was agreed that MIR. Bernhard
should get in communication with the
warden of the State prison and find
out just what order ne would need to
delay the execution of the prisoner
Justice Parker stated that in the
event of Mr. Bernhard being unable
to get the proper order from Judge
Osborne he would sign the applica-
ton for new trial and thus prevent
the putting to death of Laudisi pend

plication.

FIRE LAWS WILL Be
STRICTLY ENFORCED
Chief Moore Makes Plain Stand
Stand to Theatre Managers
and Detail Men.

That there will be no modification
of the fire department regulations or
the statute laws bearing upon the
overcrowding of theatres or other
public places of amusement, the
blocking of passageways or encum-
bering of exits or aisles, was empha-
sized by Chief Engineer Paul j.
Moore, of the fire department, today.
If in any case, the management of
theatres have taken undue liberties
with the laws and rules on the men
detailed by the chief to lock after
the welfare of patrons of these places
Of public amusement, have displayed
laxity. there is not likely to be re-
currence of the offense, judging from
the chiefs remarks. The offending
managers of theatres viii be given
an opportunity TO account Tor dere-
lictions in the police courts and care
less members of the theatre details
will be promptly transferred to other
lines of duty.
In his special instructions and ad-
monitions to the theatre detail TO-
day, Chief Moore who also com
municated in person with the theatri-
cal managers, told the firemen to
watch carefully for violations of law,
be as courteous as possible with
all concerned and in calling the at
tention of managers to derelictions,
explain the law briefly and ask that
unfavorable conditions be remedied
forthwith. If the request is not
complied with the man on theatre
detail is to obtain the names of a
sufficient number of witnesses to
sustain charges and file report at
IRE headquarters. The charges will
t.en be forwarded to the judge of
t,,c Criminal Court in which the
t-unsgression takes place. If the
r,aa on theatre detail fails to do his
ciiuv and enforce the law enacted
for thes afety of human life, the de-
ltrmlen fireman will be sent before
lie Board of Fire Commissioners on
appropriate charges.
