With such effectiveness did he
point out the unmistakable duty Of
all to advance the cause of the Y. M.

rapt attention when he reached the
climax of his arguments and said:
Even if only one young man is pick
ed up from the by-paths and shown
the true light of right living, his
work, influence and example would
count for enough to make the estab-
lishment of the institution worth

FIND MRS. LANE
GUILTY; MAY GET
LONG SENTENCE
Jury Returns With Conviction
on Third Count in Indictment
Which Charges Restraining
Girl for Immoral Purposes.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

v
New Brunswick, Oct. S.-After an
hours deliberation, the jury In the
Lane case returned at AIS o'clock
yesterday afternoon with conviction
on the third count in the indictment,
which charges Mrs. Annie Lane, or
$50 East avenue, Perth Amboy, with
the serious crime Of restraining
young female, for immoral purposes.
There we're three counts In the in
dictment The first charged her with
enticing Miss Isabelle Hatch, under
sixteen years of age, of Elizabeth,
into her East avenue home for I'M
moral purposes; the second count
was practically charge of main
tanning a disorderly house, as this
was its principal feature; the third
count, on which a conviction was re-
turned, is very much like a white
slave charge. The jury did not de-
liberate on the first count, as Judge
DAILY instructed George l.. Burton,
attorney for the defendant to omit
that point in his summing up. Mr..
Burton endeavored to have the Sec
ond count disregarded, by the court s
order, but Assistant Prosecutor John
A. Coan, who appeared for the state,
was successful in protesting against
such action.
In her defense, Mrs. Lane said
she had offered home to the four
young people, who returned to this
city from an outing because they
had missed the last Elizabeth car.
She asserted that the Hatch girl had
visited her of her free WILL and was
not enticed, as charged. Mrs. Lane
has been remanded to jail in default
of $4,000 bail, to await sentence. 1t
is not known whether or not the
state will press the second indict-
ment against Mrs Lane, charging
her with maintaining disorderly
house, although it is unlikely, if
Judge DAILY give severe sentence
in the present conviction.
The following jury heard the case:
John Bosch, East Brunswick: Cal
win Petty, Cranbury; Ambrose Wat
son, South Amboy; August Kessler

town; Jesse Gilliland, Milltown;

LONG FIGHT OVER
HALLAHAN WILL
Estate Valued at 100000,
Consisting of Property Here,
Divided Between Son and
Other Heirs-Fight Ends.

Following an agreement reached
by attorneys for the heirs of the late
Mrs Charlotte A. Hallahan, Miss
Charlotte A. Hallahan, her daughter,
will retain possession of the old home
at 173 Smith street, valued at $780,
600, and the balance of the property,
also valued at $4,000, will be ap-
portioned among the rest of the
heirs. After this amicable distribu-
tion of the estate had been settled
on, Thomas Brown and Freeman
Woodbridge, of New Brunswick, rep
resenting William Hallahan, with
drew the caveat filed in the preroga-
tive court against the will of Mrs.
Hallahan, on behalf of her son, Will
liam, and other heirs, and the will
was probated yesterday afternoon at
Jersey City by Vice Ordinary Lewis,
presiding over the prerogative court.
Under the agreement it is said that
William Hallahan will receive the
double house and two lots at 1880
Market street, which he now occu-
pies, and monetary consideration.
The agreement was effected to a
great extent by the fact that the
heirs desired an amicable settlement
without the contest of the will pro-
ceeding further with the engendering
of i'll feeling which was inevitable.
The estate is valued at 100000,
the realty of which comprises the
southeast corner of Madison avenue
and Smith street, the Perth Amboy
garage property, a. house and lot be-
tween the garage and theatre in
Madison avenue, and the double
house and two lots at 1880 Market

NEW BATTLE IN
PROGRESS NEAR
v|STULA RIVER
Special BY United Press Wire.

Special on Onfltu f'tSS FHo.
Petrograd, Oct. S.-The official
explanation of the withdrawal of the
Russians in Galicia from the line OF
the river Donejet was issued today.
1t was stated that the combined
Austro-German armies, occupied a
strongly entrenched line extending
from Kielce in Russian-Poland south
to Neu Sandec. The Russian ad-
vance guard sought out this position
that to take it by frontal assault
would result in frightful losses to
the attacking army. In consequence
the Russians withdrew in order to
force the Austrians to accept battle
in the open country.
The ruse was successful, 1t is stat
ed, and a new battle is now in pro
gress along lines far more favorable
to the Russians. The fighting is de-
clared to be particularly severe in
the vicinity of the Vistula river, just
to the north of Scrgucin. Meanwhile
the bombardment of Przemysl by the
heavy Russian artillery continues.
Great breeches are apparent in the
wall of the fortifications, while Rus
sian airmen, who have flown over
the city report that many houses
have been destroyed by fire and that
they saw dead bodies lying unburied
in the street.
The Austrian garrison attempted
sortie on Tuesday night, but the
aerial scouts had reported that
troops were being massed for that
purpose and the Russians were in
readiness. They annihilated the
front column by fire from machine
guns that had been massed on both
sides of the southern gates through
which the garrison tried to emerge.
The fighting continued with the
utmost violence on the east Prussian
frontier, where the Germans occupy
strong positions in their Tcherno-
ganja region. They have uncovered
1t is stated a series of hidden re-
doubts which are part of their first
defense line and in which are mount
ed heavy guns. The entire Russian
lines are again being heavily re-en-
forced and additional regiments OF
artillery are being rushed to the
front.

In stirring talk before an over
flowing house at the Ditmas Y. M.
C. A. benefit performance last night,
Recorder H. E. Pickersgill thrilled
the vast audience. The hearers
declare it was a telling stimulus to
those that have already worked for
the instip ion and those who have as
yet dor nothing. His arguments
were convincing and sent home with
such precision that not man, Wom-
an or child heard him but were I'M
pressed with their individual duty in
aiding the worthy cause.
The recorder showed the. assem-
bIage how the Institution will shed
an inestimable blessing on the city in
training young men in the straight
and upright paths, rather than in the
paths of error. He stated that he
had served for nearly ten years as
recorder and that during all those
years he believed that ninety per
cent of those who had fallen and
found their way to his court had
lacked early moral training and the
proper environment of good influ-
ences.
The official called on every one to
be up and doing, those who had al
ready helped to do more and those
who had as yet done nothing to come
forward to aid the laudable and edi-
flying work.

HAVE STANDP|PE
READY IN WEEK;
TO BOOST WATER

The residents of the northwestern
section of the city will next week sec
the fulfillment of the plans long
under way in the water department
to provide them with a plentiful sup
ply of water every minute of the day.
Following the report rendered at the
meeting of the Board of Water Com
missioners last night that the stand
pipe on the poor farm had been COM
pleted, it is proposed to fill the great
reservoir for the first time next
week.
The Chicago Bridge & Iron Works,
who built the steel structure, are
now finishing the painting, and the
huge tank is expected to be ready as
water storage by Monday All the
connections, according to City Engi-
neer Mason, have been made and the
standpipe is ready to be filled from
the Runyon water works, through
the city mains, when 10000 gal
Ions of pure drinking water will be
poured into the reservoir for the ex-
press use of the northwestern resi-
dents. The tank Is eighty feet high
and forty feet in diameter, It's capac-
ity being three-fourths of a million
gallons, or a supply calculated to
last that section three days or more.
The cost of the structure was Sill
400, the lot having been donated by
the CITY,
For years the residents of that
section of the city have complained
that often they could not get a drop
OF water from their hydrants when
during the day the enormous draft
on the city water supply was made
by the factories. The Western I'm
provement Association complained to
the health board and then to the
water commissioners, who took steps
looking to their relief. The eleva-
tion was so high that during the day
often the water pressure would not
send the liquid to the hydrants. Now,
however, the tank will be filled at
night, when the draft on the water
from the factories is at its minimum,
and the northwestern section will
find that they may have as good
water pressure as other sections of
the city.
Hugh Timmins, of the pipe COM
mittee, in the absence of w. p.
Runyon, the chairman, reported to
the board that the thirty-inch main
between Runyon and the standpipe
at Ernston had almost wholly been
laid by Ira r. Grouse, the contractor.

ONE ARMED MAN
IS ON TRIAL FOR
MANS[AUGHTER
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

New Brunswick, Oct. 8-Thomas
Kamyk, young, one-armed man,
of Perth Amboy, who worked as an
assistant to Dog Warden Arthur
Murish in that city until recently,
is on trial before Judge Daily and a
jury here today on a charge of man
slaughter. He was accused of the
bloody and brutal killing of John
Barkas, thirty-nine years old, of 391
Lawrence street, Perth Amboy, Sep
tember 23. The men became engag-
ed in an alteration over a dog while
Kamyk was working for Murish, it is
claimed. and he hit Barkus several
times over the head with a stout,
knotty stick. Assistant Prosecutor
John A. Coan is appearing in behalf
OF the state and former Judge
Charles T. Cowenhoyen appears as
counsel for the defendant. Kamyk's g
claim is that he hit the man in self
defense and plea of not guilty was
entered for him
Up to noon yesterday the only
witness heard was Steve Chico. 1t
was claimed that he was an eye wit
ness to the assault, but he denies
that there were any blows struck be-
fore Kamyk attacked Barkus. This
served to weaken the defense some
what, as it is hoped by that side
that testimony can be procured to
prove that Kamyk acted in self de-
fense.

citation rooms on Smith street, thirty
FIVE new members were admitted into
this fast-growing organization.
Three life memberships, seven honor
memberships and the remainder con-
sisting of associate and active mem
berships, we're issued. One reason
for the large attendance at last
nights meeting is the enthusiasm
which resulted from the action taken
by the association in leasing their
new home in the Fraser Brothers
building.
Morris L. Goldberger, Abraham
Sacarny and Benjamin Goldberger,
the trustees, made very favorable
report regarding the progress on the
new building. A number of Hebrew
lodges have signified their intention
of using the lodge rooms in the new
home. Several changes in the pro-
posed plans were announced, one OF
which provides for the erection OF
sixteen-foot balcony in the hall room
on the third floor.
The delegates to the convention of
the State Federation of Young Mems
and Young Women's Hebrew Associ-
attons, DR.. Bernard Feldman, Harry
Eisner and Edward l.. Gluck, report

successful ever held by the fedora
ton.
On motion the proposition to have
a state field secretary appointed for
the Y. M. H. A. was approved. Ed
ward L. Gluck, secretary Of the local
organization, was elected member
of the executive council of the state
federation.
The educational department sub
mitted a favorable report concerning
the progress of the Sunday classes
that are being held in the Y. M. H. A.
rooms. This innovation has proved
to be a popular one and much good is
being achieved through this course.
Members of the association will at
tend in a body a special service to be
held Friday night in the Shaari
Tfiloh temple in Madison avenue. An
address will be delivered by Rev. Or.
Moses Romanoff, the new rabbi of
the congregation. DR.. Romanoff Is

to the members of the organization
who attend.
One hundred and sixty-five vol
umes, comprising the works of some
of the best known authors, have
been procured by the Y. M. II. A.,
and will prove a valuable asset to

TERRIBLE FIRE
Of GERMAN GUNS
DESTROYS TOWN


Amsterdam, Holland, Oct. 8: -
With her outer ring OF Notifications
broken and with every village within
miles of the city in flames, Antwerp
continued today to essay the fiercest
resistance to the besieging Germans.
The city itself, according to advices
reaching here, was still intact at
noon. The Germans were lombard
ing both the city and Notifications,
but seemingly the shells, dropped in
the city proper, were "over-shots.
Few of them exploded, but it was
plain that the besieging forces had
the range of the city and that they
were prepared to wipe it from the
face Of the earth whenever they de-
oided to turn their guns in earnest on
the city itself.
Lierre and Contich were practically
destroyed yesterday. The shells from
the German batteries set fire to the
town and block after block of houses,
with no one to check the flames.
Forts Waehelm and Wavre are now
nothing but holes in the earth. They
have simply been smothered out OF
existence by the terrible fire of the
German guns. The garrisons per-
ished at their post of duty. The Ger
man artillery is also reported to nave
proven terribly destructive near Voss-
berg. The villages of Hove, Horssel
and Viduex-Dieu have all suffered
heavily They are deserted and
many of their houses, especially the
poorly constructed homes OF the
workers, have been leveled to the
dust The scenes among the refugees
of these villages and towns who
focked into Antwerp are indescrib-
ably pathetic,
