The waste from growing crops, the

all these will go far to maintain a

BART DUNN FOUND
IN N. J.SANATORlOM
Fugitive Politician, Cor
victed in Road Case,
ArreSted-Is Ill.
tBy Telegraph to The Tribune J

Nyack, n. Y, April 21.-Bart Dunn
who for nearly year had eluded the
officials Of Rockland County, was to-
day taken into custody at sanatorlum
in New Jersey, and New Jersey Of
ficer is now standing guard at the bed
side Of the Tammany politician and
road builder, who processes to be seri-
ously i'll.
Dunn was located by Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Haas and Under Sheriff
Theodore De Noyelles, who learned from
an affidavit filed by Dunn that he was
at the Bancroft Sanatorium, Butler,
N. J. Early this morning the Rockland
County officials went to Butler, where,
after consulting with the county prose-
cutor, at Morristown, they were per-
mitted to enter the sanatorium and
place Dunn under arrest.
The man, who in 1912 was convicted
of highway frauds in Rockland County
and sentenced to ten months on Black
wells Island and to pay fine OF S5OO
was, according to the superintendent
of the sanatorium, in very serious
condition, and permission to remove
him 70 Rockland County was refused.
Prosecutor Reed was again turned TO
for assistance, and upon his advice Mr..
Haas secured commitment papers and
served them upon Dunn, who was for
mally placed under arrest charged with
being a fugitive from justice.
In December, 1912, Dunn was con-
victed of having defrauded the state
on highway contracts in Rockland
County. At the same time Joseph J.
Fogarty, a state inspector of road work
was also convicted. Fogarty Is now
serving his time.
Pending an appeal to the Appellate
Division, Dunn was released on bail In
the sum of $4,000 The higher courts
affirmed the judgment of conviction
and when Dunn failed to surrender
himself to the authorities Justice
Tompkins ordered that the bail bond OF
5000 be forfeited.
Dunn carried his case to the Court
of Appeals, but still refused to deliver
himself TO custody.
A few days ago the Court Of Appeals
was asked to dismiss DuDn's appeal
The court ordered that unless Dunn
filed an affidavit stating his place OF
abode and his reasons for secludine
himself the appeal be dismissed. The
order had the desired effect, and when
the Tammany leader in the 18th AS
sembly District RECEIVERS his health he
will be sent to Jail.

COWBOY IN CIRCUS
KILLED BY MOUNT
Otto Kline Falls During
Performance in Garden
Dies in Hospital.

Otto Kline, peerless cowboy and win
ner of riding trophies in many from
tier day sports, fell from his black
mare Kitty while doing a difficult
vaulting trick in Barnum & Bailey's
circus performance yesterday after
noon. He died at Bellevue Hospital last
night Of a compound fracture of the
skull.
So quickly was the injured rider re-
moved from Madison Square Garden
that few in the audience knew of the
accident. Persons who watched Kitty,
however, knew that something had
gone wrong After her riders hand
had slipped from the saddle-horn the
mare walked slowly around the ring,
neighing softly.
Kitty knew that Otto had per-
formed his last trick" said Cy Comp
ton. Texas McCloud, Buster Trow and
other cowboys who were with their pal
when he died. "He was the life Of the
show, and we'll all miss him like Kitty
does"
Such comment was linked with an
other, spoken with added sadness. at

Otto's wife when she comes in Satur-
day" was heard again and again at the
Garden before last nights perform
ance.
Six months ago when Kline was do
ing daredevil riding stunts in a small
Western town he met Tina Buche, a
-. a. All 10 q
troop. It was love at first sight, say the
COWBOYS. anal Tina followed Otto TO
Pittsburgh, where they were married
a month ago. After the circus settled
down in its New York home he wrote
for his wife to join him this week.
Kline's act was included with other
riding tricks near the end of the circus
programme. One of his specialties
was TO grasp the horn of the saddle
with one hand and vault gracefully
back and forth over Kittys back as
the black mare tore around the ring
at top speed.
Otto was twenty-eight years old. His
home was in Napierville, III. He had
been in the show business for ten
wears. His first appearance with Bar
mum and Bailey was two years ago
Last year, having obtained q leave OF
absence. he went to Canada, where he
carried off first honohs in the famous
stampede day riding, at Winnipeg.
Cheyenne's frontier day contests had
also made him champion, and ne had
won medals at Pendreton, Ore, and
Denver, Col.
During his riding career he had been
associated with such shows as the lOi
Ranch, Arizona Joe, Buffalo Bill, and
others

before by any country.
A few hours earlier to-day an at

frauded by false statements in the form

honest merchants are harassed ana
harmed by this unscrupulous competl-
tiOn.
"The Mills bill would effectively
check this practice. 1t has been CON
sidered with great care by the best
business men Of this city, and similar
legislation has been urged for severai
years past. No merchant, honest in
motive and practice, can object to IT.
In the interest of honesty and business
morals we urge it's passage"
The bill now goes to Governor whit
man who. it is believed, will sign It.

MUST RELY ON MERE MAN
Boston Suffragists Have to
Organize Male Committees.
fBy Telegraph to The Tribune.

Boston, April 21.-The women who
have been fighting for and against the
suffrage amendment to the eonstittlui-
tion will have to organize mall politi--
cal committees to collect and expend
their moneys, unless the Legislature
secs fl 10 let down the bars. That is
the effect of ruling handed down
Yesterday by Attorney General Atwill:
The law now provides that political
committees shall consist of at least
five voters, and must have treasurer
and other officers. AS far as can be
learned, members Of women suffrage
and anti-suffrage organizations have
been collecting their own money and
spending it without these male COM

reserve.
The Chancellor OF the Exchequer,
however, said nothing to indicate a
lessening Of the necessity for a still
larger output, although the factories,
he showed, turned out nearly twenty
times as many war supplies last month
as in September.
Much adverse criticism has been
aroused by Premier Asquith's speech
at Newcastle. Everybody wants to
agree with Mr.. Asquith and to believe
him right but the trouble is that II
ne is right then other members Of the
Cabinet particularly Earl Kitchener
and Lloyd George have been wrong
If the Premier's speech was a well con-
sidered utterance. apparently the gov,
eminent is hopelessly split on vital
point In the Commons to-day Mr.. As
quith's speech was criticised as
"empty" and Containing no vital sug-
gestion for dealing with the present
situation
Statements Contrasted.
The newspapers contrasted Kitchen
er, Lloyd George and Asquith in paral-
lei columns as follows:
Kitchener -"The output is not equal
to our necessities. The supply OF war
material is causing me very serious
anxiety. The progress in equipment
has been very seriously hampered by
failure TO obtain sufficient labor"
LLOYD George-"We require an In
crease, and an enormous increase, IN
shells, rifles and all other munitions
and equipment. Excessive drinking is
interfering seriously with that output.
Asquith-I saw statement the other
day that the operations not only of
our army but also of those of our
allies are being crippled-or, at any
rate. hampered- by our failure to pro-
vide necessary ammunition. | say there
is not a word of truth in that state
ment."

subtle means of reconciling Mr.. As
