SLAYER DRUM IS
TAKEN TO TRENTON
Convicted Murderer of Police.
man Mcdonald Starts to
Serve Five-Year Sentence.

George F. Drum, former county en-
gineer, convicted on January of
manslaughter In connection with the
killing of Policeman John T. NC
Donald at Central avenue and Second
street on July IL last, was today
taken to Trenton State prison. On
reaching there he started to serve his
sentence of not less than five years
or more than ten years imposed Cd
him by Judge Harry " Osborne for
the killing. In addition, Drum will
have to pay a fine of $1,000 before
he can be released. from prison. If
this fine should not be paid, Drum
will have to serve out the fine at the
rate of 81 day.
Drum was taken TO Trenton by
Sheriff's officers John p. Clark and
Harry Sloan and left Newark on the
9:26 Pennsylvania train. Drum did
not know he was to be taken to Tren-
ton until so informed by Warden
Richard McGuinness, of the county
Jail, after breakfast time today. He
made no strong objection to going,
but stated that he was still going to
insist on having a new trial OF his
case.
Ever since the jury in his case
brought in the amazing verdict of
manslaughter. when one of murder
in the first degree with it's resultant
penalty of death was expected, Drum
has been making efforts to have his
case appealed to the Supreme Court
in the hope of having a new trial
granted him.
Frank M. McDermit, his counsel,
set himself firmly against any such
move, even going SO far as to advse
Drum that he was lucky to escape
with a manslaughter verdict. 1t is
understood that Drum has ap-
preached a number of other lawyers
asking them to make application for
a new trial, but has met with refusal
in each instance.
Under the terms of his sentence
Drum must serve at least five ears
in prison and pay the fine of s., 900
before he can be released. Under the
indeterminate sentence act. at the ex-
piratlon of five years be becomes elig-
ibIe to parole, IL his conduct in prison
has been good.
If this condition has been fulfilled
he will then be in a position to make
to the board of pardons
for a parole and under the law this
will be granted. He will then be
freed and can remain at liberty as
long as his conduct conforms to the
made by the pardon
board Should he fail to live up to
these regulations he will be returned
to prison to serve the remaining five
years of his centence.

REPLIES
TO STATEMENT
BY THE CHASSIS
Rev. Mr.. Barker Declares That
Criticism of His Record Is
Untruthful.

A statement purporting to come
from the classis of Newark was read
today to Rev. Percival H. Barker,
pastor of Christ Reformed Church, in
Washington avenue. He made a
strong denial of its contents, which
weer in the nature of allegations
against the career of the clergymen.
The alleged statement in behalf of
the classis was given out by a men,
bers and was said to be official This
member declares that local clergy
men are keenly indignant over the
turn of affairs in connection with Mr..
Barker. He came here more than a
year ago from Kansas. Since then
he has been accused by members of
the classis, but his congregation is
almost to a unit with him in his fight.
Mr.. Barker declares that some of
the local clergymen have displayed a
very unchristian-lik spirit in their
dealings. He also says they have
made misstatements. He admits that
there has been some reason for the
charges. but replies that his opponents
are exaggerating trifes and that they
have failed to show anything but a
narrow sense of mind.
That the cry of persecution and
malicious prejudice on the part of Mr..
Barker is absolutely without founda-
ton, so far as the majority of the
members of the Chassis of Newark are
concerned, is the official rejoinder to-
day of the Chassis.
Action IL Defended.
In defense of the. action of the Clas-
sis it is pointed out that all the reso-
lutions in the last few meetings have
been passed by unanimous votes, and
that these meetings have represented
full attendance of all the members.
To charge that all these clergymen

CROOK
FELLS HIS GUARD
Uses His Cell Bars as Black
Jacks, but Attendants Awe
Him With Guns.
Especial to the Newark star.I


TRENTON, Jan. 22.--After weeks OF
careful working at filing out the bars
OF his cell In state prison, and sub
stituting flinisy tubes of steel-gray
paper, under the eyes OF special
guard assigned to watch his every
move, George Wilson, notorious
burglar, made a dash for liberty to-
day.
With the filed out pieces of steel
done up in a handkerchief he black
lacked his guard, rushed out into the
corridor and across the prison court.
He ran into the arms of a group of
attendants, who covered him with
their guns, led him back and placed
him in another cell.
Wilson is well known to the police
on both sides of the Atlantic as a pro-
fessional housebreaker, a hold-up man
and fugitive from justice. He has
had a varied career under seven or
eight aliases, and has served terms in
Sing Sing and in Southampton, Eng
land
Though only twenty-seven years old
he has already cut wide swath in
the history of crooks and thugs. On
July z, 1912. he succeeded in escaping
from the Tombs in New York city.
He was captured again, after a
short interval, by Police Lieutenant
William Brown. He was badly wanted
by the police, owing to the knowledge
that Wilson, when out upon one of his
plundering expeditions. did not hesi-
tate to use his pistol, He has gained,
in fact, reputation as one of the
most dangerous criminals in this
country.
A victim of morphine, he would al
ways exhibit the most unruly savage
ness toward his prison mates and
guards when confined and idle.
When rearrested, the Jersey police
claimed him as belonging to the courts
of this State. because of the many
robberies he had committed here.

Think Bryan's Speech
Was Senatorial Boom

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-Democrats
in the capital were gossiping today
over whether Secretary Bryan meant
to launch a senatorial boom when, at
a Democratic dinner last night he de-
clared it had been his ambition since
boyhood to sit in the United States
Senate. His own career, he said all
through his earlier years, had been
based on a hope that he eventually
would go to the Senate.

BEWARE OF WATER
AFTER HARD RAIN.
State Board Advises Great
Care in Use of Drinking
Supply Following
Drought.

Richmond, Va, May 29.-The
State Board of Health today
issued special bulletin warning
the citizens of the State against
the dangers of polluted water
which will come with the first
following the prolonged drought.
1.-THE prolonged dry spell from
which we have suffered during
the past few weeks" the bulle-
tin, has resulted in the accumu-
latIon of a large amount OF
polluting meterial on the surface
of the soil. While typhoid con-
ditions in the State are excellent.
there is great danger, that fol-
lowing the first heavy rains
great amount of this pollution
will be carried into the water
courses, and unless particular
care is used, users of water
from the smaller towns and do
nestle supplies will suffer from
dysentery and typhoid fever.
I'm the four or five towns u.s.
ing unpurified water from small
streams the danger is particu-
larly great, and special warning
will be sent to such towns for the
protection of the citizens. The
users of water from springs
should also be particularly care
full not to drink the spring water
as long as it is muddy or milky
from the surface washingS, UNI
less it has first been boiled.
While the dangers to users OF
we'll water are not so great, every
farmer should be particularly
careful that his we'll is provided
with a sound tight top, in order
that the dust and other filth
which has accumulated on the
top of the we'll during the long
dry spell be not washed into the
we'll with the first rain.
while we'll protected springs
and W ellis will not be affected by
present conditions, the State
Board is anxious that 1914 be
banner year for health in Vir-
ginia and calls upon every citi-
zen to take the simple precau-
lions necessary to protect his
own family. The Board has
numerous publications which
give detailed directions for pro-
tecting water supplies, which
will be sent free to any one who
will write for them to its office
in Richmond"
