 The men shouted for help and hun dreds of persons lined the shore, helpless to aid them while they gained a big block of ice to which they cIunR for an hour before slipping into the water.

.M0RRISSEY THE MAN FOR HEAD OF LOCAL CHARITIES Understanding Now Is That Three Members Will
 Favor Him. HE HAS HAD WIDE
 PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE Looks That Proposition For Outside Man Has But
 One Vote.

Alexander Morrissey, investigator of charities. is slated to be the next head Of the Charity department. replacing Fred R. Johnson. resigned. This. is now practically assured as 1t has be- come known that following the meet ing of the Board of Charities yester- day, when the recommendation of an outside man to replace Mir. Johnson was bitterly assafled and a split of the board occurred. one of the commits. sioners formerly favoring an outside man has Ggnified his intention of favoring a local man.
 To a. reporter for The Farmer one of the Commissioners said:
 Alexander Morrissey will be the next head of the charity department. He is enlinently qualified for that position as he has had broad practical experiences. He knows local condi- tions as does no other man in this city, We want efficiency and we have had it, but it can be secured at much less cost than by the importation of a foreign head of the department at a. high salary, who will have to be brok- en into local conditions and an inti- mate Knowledge of the people with whom he comes in contact"
 MT. Commissioner. ventured the reporter, stthis efficiency talk has been one of the administration arguments and the attitude Of your board as now expressed Is such as to throw a cloud of doubt as to the practicability of past methods. Do you not realize that the greafest influence will be brought to bear by the administration to have these past acts upheld 2''
 s.AlI I can say now to that question:. said the coInmissioner significantly, ssis that we can stand on our own feet can't we? We do not propose to have someone pushed down our throats that we know will not be as efficient as those long tried In the service. An Efficiency man can be secured at a nIozninal sum as 2 clerk if we want aone.'
 It was learned that those commis- sioners now in favor of MT. Morrissey are F. w. Behrens, president of the board, Commissioners Henry Harris and Matthew Judge. The only mem ber now holding out for the recon mended outside head is Rev. John MacIaren Richardson. At the meet ing yesterday Rev. F,r. Judge had not fully decided as to his attitude.
 The next meeting of the Charity board is scheduled for Feb 16-
