DEATH TOLL HALTS
AQUEDUCT BLAST
Three More Perish, Bringing
List of Dead in Catskill
Tube Near 200.

NEW YORK. Jan. 10.-The death
of three more laborers today in the
Catskill aaueduct tube. bringing the
fatality list close to the 200 mark. has
caused a postponement of the blasting
of the last rock barrier.
Five laborers fell fifty feet when a
platform, struck by an ascending
bucket, collapsed. Two others were
badly hurt. The accident happened
under Ninetv-third- street
The blast today was to have been
attended with fitting ceremonies 1t
has been put off until noon Monday,
when Mayor Mitchell will press the
button controlling the dynamite.
j. Waldo Smith. former city engi-
neer, of Paterson. N. j., has been In
charge of the construction of the
equeduct.
A gang of fifty drillers under their
foreman, George B. Mitchell, who is
not related to the mayor. were busily
at work today piercing the holes
through the last three feet of rock,
The stone in the vicinity of shaft No.
9, where the, accident occurred, Is of
a peculiar structure, and has made
trouble from the first.
Smaft No. has been known as the
"hoodoo" shaft on account of the
number of accidents there. Last
August the wooden superstructure
above the street caught fire and was
damaged, besides injuring houses on
either side.
With Mondays blast the great fif-
teen-foot tube will beoepn from end
to end, and the waters of the Ashokan
reservoir will have a free passage
from the Catskil mountains to all
pdrts Of Greater New York.

TO HOWARD SUIT

Action for SANDER Begun
by Colonel Howard.

In behalf of Morris r. She1rerd.
city engineer. his counsel. Robert H.
McCarter, of the firm of McCarter &
English, has filed an answer to the
suit instituted against Mr.. Sherrerd
by Colonel James W. Howard. The
action by Hr. Howard alleges that
he was slandered by the city en-
gineer at a meeting of the Board of
Works. He asks damages in the sum
of $4,000 from Mr.. Sherrerd.
The latter, in his answer, states
that at the time of the meeting of
! the Board of Works mentioned in the
complaint by Mr.. Howard, the de-
fendant was employed by the city
of Newark as an engineer. He de-
clared that any statements that he
made at the meeting were made in
the performance of his duty to the
board and lin good faith and with
out malice"
The answer of Mr.. Sherrerd was
filed yesterday with the clerk of the
Supreme Court at Trenton.
Mr. Howard is an engineer and
member of the Newark Board of
Trade. The meeting at which the al
legged slander was uttered was on
August IA last.

COUNTY EXPENSE
NEARLY DOUBLED
BY SMALL BOARD
Republicans Boost Salary List
from Slt $50 to S33,400
in Two Years.

When the small Board of Freehold
ers, Republicans, first took office on
January 1, 1912, six men. including
heads of departments and clerks, were
employed in the executive offices OF
the county. The six men received in
annual salaries $1S,550.
Today the same departments have
thirteen men employed and the an
nual salary list is SSS, 400.
Attention has been called to this
matter by the vetoes of Supervisor
Edward Schickhaus this week, who
tried to prevent the establishment of
the three new positions by the Board
of Freeholders, but whose action was
overridden by the six Republican
members of the board.
On December 81, 1911. the day before
the first small Republican board took
office, the executive department was
composed of the following persons,
each of whom received the salary
stated after their names: County Col
lector r. w Booth. $4,000; Jacob Seid-
Ter, clerk to county collector, Sl200;
e. L. Conklin, county auditor, $4,000;
Harry Housed, clerk TO county
auditor, S2,750; J. Henry Harrison,
county counsel, $4,000; Raymond L.
Mahoney, stenographer. s1,190.
With the three new positions
created last Monday by the Board
of Freeholders and retained by the
vote of the six Republican members
after Supervisor Schickhaus had
vetoed the resolution, thirteen men
now do the work formerly performed
bv six, while the annual salary pay
uents have jumped s14450.
Since December 81, 1911, there has
been two changes in the list OF off,
cials given above. E. l.. Conklin, for
many years county auditor, has died
and his place is now filled by Albert
t. Guenther at the same salary. Mr..
Harrison has been succeeded as
county counsel by Benjamin F. Jones.
Last Monday the salary of Mr.. Jones
was increased from $1,000 to $4,000
Positions Created.
The new positions created by the
Republicans since the small board
went into effect and the salaries paid
the holders yearly are as follows:

ROME, Jan. 1O.-The Segnatura
tribunal, the high court of the Roman
Curia, today rejected the appeal of the
Duchess de Talleyrand formerly
Anna Gould, of New York;, from the
verdict of the Rota tribunal, annul-
ling her marriage to her first hus-
band, Count Boni de Castellane.
Anna Gould was married to Count
Boni de Castellane in 1895 and OBJ
tanned a divorce from him in 1906
through the civil courts Of Paris
She married the present Duke de
Talleyrand in London in 1908.
In 1910 Count Boni applied to the
Vatican to have his marriage to An
ma Gould annul1ed. On December rs,
1911, the application was rejected by
the congregation of the council.
In March, 1913, the Rota tribunal
in Rome reheard the case with fresh
evidence and reversed the former de-
cree. thereby granting the annulment
to Count Boni.

GRAND JURY HELD
OVER TO FINISH
BANK CASE WORK
Chief Justice Gummere Con-
tinues Present Panel for
Six Weeks More.

Following a Commute conference
between Prosecutor Louis Hood and
Chief Justice William S. Gummere
today. the latter signed an order con-
tfnuing the first December Grand
Jury in office for the remainder of
the December term of court.
This will make the term Of the jury
headed by Christian w. Feigenspan
twelve weeks instead of six and that
body instead of being discharged
from Office on January II. will con-
tinue until about April l.
The continuance in office of the
present body is made necessary by
the fact that all the evidence In the
criminal proceedings growing out of
the wrecking of the Roseville Trust
Company has been presented to the
present Grand Jury. but as yet no in
dictments have been voted except in a
few isolated instances.
The work of drawing the indict-
ments growing out of the wrecking
of the bank are many and volumi-
nous, according to report around the
Court House, and although Prosecu-
tor Hood and his staff have been
working on them constantly, the main
body of the indictments will not be
ready-for presentation to the Jury
for some time yet.
When rumors that they might be
retained in office for a twelve-week
term, instead of the usual six week
period, reached the grand jury this
week it is understood that majority
of the members voiced a vigorous
protest. This protest, 1t Is said
ended when Prosecutor Hood went
before the body and explained to
them the great Importance of that
body winding up all the work In con-
nection with the bank case before
being discharged
Prosecutor Hood refused to discuss
the matter today except to say that
at his request the chief Justice had
signed an order continuing the body.
The continuance has to be for the full
term, as under the law the sheriff
must draw a panel every six weeks
during court sessions.
If this be not done the body then
in office must continue to serve un-
til another six weeks period has
passed. Under Sheriff James F.
Hyland was ready to have Chief JUS
tice Gummere sign an order for a new
panel of grand jurors today, when
Prosecutor Hood stepped in and got
his continuing order.
In few isolated cases it is under
stood that indictments have already
been handed into court in connection
with affairs at the bank, but as yet
no arrests have been made. The in
dictments were handed in ahead of
the large number that it Is said will
eventually come into court to prevent
them from becoming outlawed under
the statute.
The law provides that in cases OF
moneys drawn by overdraft from a
bank. or trust company, or when
money has been stolen from depos-
itors' account that unless complaints
are made before two years have
elapsed the action is outlawed.
