Once m a college town the rumor that
students were carrying concealed wca-

The chief al once issued stringent or

passed a policeman, and one of the
students IN 50 doing put his hand to
his hip pocket. Then, as if rccollect-

Sleepy Boy Alone Escapes
Effects, Blamed to Even
ing'S Ice Cream.

The sand man filed Johnnie Nor
rissey's eyes early last Thursday night
and probably saved his life.
Johnnie, who is ten years old, lives
at IS George Street, Ridgewood,
Queens. He went to bed early thai
night. His five brothers and sisters
stayed up with their parents to eat ice
cream. Two are now dead, two critical
" i'll, and only the oldest, and his
father and mother. have fully recovered
from the effects of the refreshment.
Lawrence Morrissey, a shipping clerk,
thought he would treat his family on
that hot evening. He sent his son,
Charlie, out for two quarts. Everyone
partook of the goody except the sleepy
Johnnie. The next day all were deathly
sick except him. After he had run out
to get DR.. John d. Tierney. of ga For
est Avenue, the doctor said that the
family had ptomaine poisoning.
In spite of the physicians efforts on

been expected Of him would be carried
out. providing Rofrano did not think
that the Staying Of Gaimari at that
time as il would hurt bis case for car
rying concealed weapons.
other meetings held with Rofrano,
Fennimore declared in the formers
Office in the Street Cleaning Depart
ment in the Municipal Building, at his
law office. 1913 Broadway, az the Italian
Club on West Forty-eighth Street, and
any number Of times in the street.
On several occasions Fennimorc said
he called Rofrano up on III telephone
for the purpose Of reporting 10 him.
Just before March ! called him up
and tod him that everything had been
arranged" declared Fennimore, land
Il was only a matter of a short time
when he would hear of the shooting Of
Gamimari. He advised me not to talk
so plain over the telephone"
Rofrano showed an unusual interest
in the case of Fennimore after the lat
ter had been arrested for violating the
concealed weapon law. He was seen
much around the Office Of the District
Attorney, in behalf of the accused man.
Visits Betray Politician.
These visits as recalled by the mem
bers of the District Attorneys Office,
were in January, February and March.
II was during these months that the
murders and assaults were being COM
mitted in the I'd Assembly District at
the direction, according TO Fennimore,
Of Rofrano.
This activity Of Rofrano strength
ened the suspicion in the Office that
Rofrano might know more about the
real reasons for the criminal acts in
the district than appeared on the sur
face.
The search for Rofrano was pushed
yesterday. II became known that he
had been Swallowed by the police since
Sunday night, when he came to the
city with his wife and family from
their summer home at Keansburg, y. j..
Monday morning he left his home at
II Oliver Street, about 10 o'clock, and
walked a few blocks down New Bowery,
where he passed Thomas Foley. Nei-
ther recognized the other. Rofrano
seemed nervous.
Just after passing Foley he turned
and went back to his home. A few min
utes later he came out and walked rap
idly to the Municipal Building.
The next place Rofrano went was TO
the Office Of Elihu Root, jr.. 81 Nassau
Street, who is acting as his attorney
until the return of his counsel, Emory
Buckner He told Mr.. Root that he
wanted TO make arrangements for
some one of the firm to 30 with him TO
the District Attorneys office on Tues
day, when he would give himself up.
This was before he had been indicted,
but was a very short time after Fenni-
more had been arraigned in court and
entered his plea of manslaughter.
The police believe that Rofrano was
at that time planning to fee the c0un-
try.
At his home yesterday Mrs Rofrano
said her husband was away on a bust
ness journey and would return to town
when he had completed the purposes
Of his trip.

Saving Planned.
TAMMANY AGHAST
AT ECONOMY ORDERS
City Clerk Scully Woebegone
Over 81 900 Cut-Hines Among
Those Doomed.

Elimination of the Brooklyn Office Of
the Tenement House Department prob
ably will be recommended by the sub
committee on budget. This will bring
a saving of about $4,000 year.
Thomas F. Hickey, Deputy Commission
err. would lose his job, but some OF the
attaches Of the Office would probably go
20 the main Office on decreased sal
airy. Tenement House Commissioner
Murphy agreed to this step yesterday.
His budget request for s664,660 showed
a decrease of s46,467 from last years
allowance, but the reducers believe
they will be able to cut it still more
in addition TO the possible saving OF
100000
Tammany politicians are hard hit by
the recommendation for cuts IN the
CITY Clerks office. Patrick j. Scully,
who is co-leader with John F. Ahearn
Of the Tammany organization in the
4th Assembly District, was stunned
when the budget cutters told him they
had decided to pare his salary from
$4,000 to $1,000 a year. He has been
CITY Clerk for many years.
"Do YOU consider your duties as I'M
portant as those Of the Mayors COM
missioners ?" asked a member OF the
committee.
II certainly do" was the reply.
II il also planned to reduce the Dep
uty Clerk in Brooklyn from $4,000 to
$3.50. He is Joseph V. Scully, no re-
lation to P. j. Scully.
James J. Hines, Tammany leader Of
the 10Th Assembly District, Chief Clerk
at $4,000. is slated to 60 altogether, and
the lob will be abolished. TIE same is
true of Philip Baer, librarian at $4,000
a wear. He is a Republican. The job
of ". L. D. 0'Grady, document clerk
at $3.50 a year, will be abolished, and
he will probably be retired on PEN
sion.
Ambrose o. Neal, Republican leader
of the ODD District, who is sergeant-at-
arms Of the Board of Aldermen, will
have his salary reduced from 81 900 to
81 200 a year, II the recommendations
are carried out.
d. W. T. Mccoy, assistant chief clerk
of the Board Of Aldermen. brother-in-
law of John Carroll, who was a deputy
leader of Tammany Hall under Richard
Croker, is slated for cut OF Sl,3OO,
from $500 to 1900.
What has caused the greatest indig--
nation among members Of the Board Of
Aldermen, however, is the proposed cut
of Frank Martin, chief ordinance clerk,
from $4,000 to $1,000. They say he
earns more han he is getting now, and
is really invaluable because Of his long
service and knowledge of the workings
Of the board.
