CLEARY, AS CLERK.
INDICTED, IS RUMOR
Two Associates Also Held, 1t Is
Said, for Irregularities in
Havers*raW Accounts.

New City, n. Y, April 9o.-Follow-
ing to-day's session, the last Of n
two weeks investigation by the Rock
land County Grand Jury into alleged
irregularities in the accounts of former
Town Clerk William V. Cleary, Of
Haverstraw, il was rumored here to-
nigh: that an indictment had been
handed down against him and others
against two Of his associates.
This was further borne out by the
statement made at the home Of Sheriff
Lawrence Serven that with Under
Sheriff Theodore De Noyells Cleary had
left town and would not return until
tomorrow. Il was also reported that
two other indictments would be brought
against Cleary, who was acquitted Of
Staying his son-in-law. Eugene New
man, when the grand jury reconvenes
next Friday, and makes its present
ment to Supreme Court Justice Isaac
n. Mills, of Mount Vernon.
II was through the influence Of the
Haverstraw Taxpayers Association that
State Controller Eugene NJ. Travis sent
examiners TO look into the Irregular
ties of $4,000, which were said TO
exist in Cleary's accounts. Mr.. Cham
bers was assisted in his investigation
by District Attorney Thomas Gagan.
l; is believed that if indictments
were found they we're scaled, and will
not be opened until next week. II was
also said that one OF the persons in
dicted along with Cleary was Bernard
J. Fox, who was an eyewitness TO the
Newman murder, and who testified first
that he had not known where the re-
volver with which the youth was killed
Yss, rat who later admitted thai ne
had given it 10 his wife. When the
present grand jury came into existence
there was charge of perjury standing
against Fox.
At Cleary's home here, at $40 West
l52d Street, no upstate official ap-
peared up until midnight Servants
said that Mr.. Cleary has been out OF
town for more than a month.

DUNKIRK SHELLED
BY BIG LAND GUN
Range Estimated at Is
Miles-BritiSh Airmen
Attack Position.

London, April So.-The misreading
of to-day's French official eommu-
nication led to the belief that the
German feet was out and had bonn
barded Dunkirl, on the North Sea, in
France, but it transpired that by some
means not yet explained the Germans
had got their big land guns within
range of Dunkirk-a distance of from
eighteen to twenty miles, military ex-
perts say-and, according to the Official
report, killed twenty persons and
wounded forty-five.
A dispatch to "The Daily News
places the number of killed and
wounded at $50. The correspondent
says that the Germans opened their
bombardment soon after IL o'clock yes
terday morning and continued it until
3 o'clock. More than sixty l2-inch
shells were fired into the town, doing
great damage. The frightened people,
who had no idea whence the shells
were coming, made a rush for their
cellars, and hundreds hid there until
the bombardment was over. This
morning more than 1000 refugees from
the town arrived in Calais, and more
were coming.
The Admiralty announced tonight
that the position Of the German guns
which have been bombsrdirg Dunkirk
has been verified by aircraft reconnois-
sance, and that it was attacked this
evening, twelve small and two large
bombs being dropped.
Reconnaissance was made also TO
Ostend. which was cleared of all inn
portant craft. A Taube aeroplsne ap-
peared in sight, but kept 10000 feet
up and three miles of. A naval aero
plane chased the Taube, whereupon the
latter retired.
One report to-day had il that the
Germans had been seen off the coast
of Belgium, but as British war craft
were bombarding Zeebrugge during the
greater part of last night and again
to-day this seems doubtful.
The test Of the French official, which,
by a juxtsposition Of sentences, caused
the confusion, follows:
German warships have been re-
ported at large off the coast Of Bel
gium.
"Dunkirk yesterday received nine
teen shells Of large calibre. Twenty
persons were killed and forty-fye
wounded. Some houses were de-
stroyed"
The Berlin War Office statement ex-
planned the situation in the following
pa ragraph;
"The fortress at Dunkirk was shel!ed
yesterday by German artillery"

English Suffragist Dis
rupts Hague Congress
with War Speech.

The Hague, Netherlands, April oo'
The wings Of the dove Of peace were
rufled to-day at the session OF the
International Congress Of Women.
Mrs. Schwimmer, president OF the
Hungarian Women's Suffrage Assocl-
alton. requested that all the delegates
nresent stand one minute in silent
prayer for peace. Mile. Hamer, OF the
Belpian delegation, thereupon asked
rermission to utter a few words. When
this was granted she astounded her au-
dience with the dramatic exclamation'
az am a Belgian before everything
and 7 cannot think as you do. There
can be no peace without justice Ihe
war must continue until the Belgians
uronps have been righted. There must
he no mediation except at the bar OF

General sympathy for the suffering
of the Belgians caused part OF the au-
dience to break into cheers. ~,
On the motion of Miss Florence hoi,

World Wide Hunt for
Standard Oil Employe,
Missing 3 Months.
MIND FAILED HIM,
MOTHER DECLARES
She Believes He Wandered North
After Forgetting Home and
Bride in Boston.

Henry Clarke Coe, jr., who had been
missing for three months, was located
yesterday in Fairbanks, town in the
interior OF Alaska. He had not bee
seen since he kissed his wife goodby
in their home at 1900 Commonwealth
Avenue, Boston, on January 80.
He ia the son Of DR.. Henry c. Coe,
who lives at West Seventy-sixth
Street. The young mans mother las,
night confirmed the report that her son
had been found.
1--WE cannot be absolutely sure on ac-
count of the distance" she said over
the telephone, "but everything points
strongly to his identity. We expect
cable messages in few days that will
remove all doubt.
"He was located by the Robert Burns
Detective Afency of Boston.
"Dr. Coe was called to Boston yes
terday and has just returned. Mr.
Burns showed him messages he re.
ceived from Alaska, and we believe our
boy has been found at last.
"We believe that he had lapse OF
memory and wandered to some boat
which took him North. We have been
following every clew since he disap-
peared. and, Of course, we are very
happy to think that this time, ne is
really found"
Young Coe, who was Standard Oil
employe, had been married only eight
months when he disappeared. His wife
was prostrated at the shock, and has
bean under the constant care of ply
sicians. She became the mother OF a
baby girl on March 20, and it was
bored that this news would help bring
hack the missing father.
Goes mother was asked last evening
whether her daughter had been told
that her husband was probably in
Alaska. 49,,
81 don't know whether DR.. Coe told
her while he was in Boston or not
she answered. IA,
"Then your sons wife Is not with
vou?" she was asked. as she not
we'll ?"
1--WE do not say anything about her."
Mrs. Coe answered. 81 have told you
all I know. Pm sorry"
At further question about the baoy'
Mrs. Coe rang off.
Mr.. Coe was employed by the Stand
ard Oil Company in Boston. Every et-
fort was made by the company to hn6
q trace of the young man, and a S25O
reward was offered for him. He was
reported to have been seen in many
different places, but all stories about
him proved to be incorrect.

Booker T. Washington Is
Among Pledge Signers
at Temperance Call.
PROTECT MINORS,
SECRETARY WARNS
Schooner That Crosses Bar, He
Asserts, Is More Deadly
than Submarine.

Mr.. Bryan, the Secretary Of State,
accompanied by his little water wagon,
came TO town last night and swatted
the Demon Rum so Justify in Carnegie
Hall that when he finished several
hundred persons, including DR.. Booker
I. Washington, the negro educator. hit
the trail and signed cards pledging
themselves to stay off the red eye for
the rest Of their lives.
There were about $500 persons in
the hall-not the capacity gathering
so a projected overflow meeting in the
Calvary Baptist Church, across the
street, was called off
In the crowd were hundreds Of very
young men and women. There were
scores and scores of mere boys and
girls, several of the boys making up the
De Witt Clinton High School band and
the yell squad. A remarkable number
OF young Japanese were present.
No Charge for Bryan.
The meeting was under the auspices
Of the National Abstainers' Society,
which had its first meeting in Phila
delphia on March Is, when Mr.. Bryan
wa also he principal speaker. Because
of his interest in the movement the
Secretary made the trip to this city
last night absolutely without charge.
He made this fact clear himself and
was roundly cheered.
To point out the inroads alcohol is
making in the United States, Mr.. Bryan
drew four comparisons between the
s2,5OO,OOO,OOO that is spent in this
country annually by the bibulous with
the amount of money realized from
various crops, with the cost of good
roads, with the cost of running the
federal government and with the prod
uct OF labor.
In each instance the amount spent
on Intoxicating drinks is overwhelm-
ingly in the lead If the money were
used for building roads. he SAID, We
could construct one hundred macadam-
lied highways across the continent,
twelve miles from each other. with
the money we could duplicate our rail-
road systems in eight years.
"The amount now spent annually for
drink" Mr.. Bryan continued. would,
in two years, duplicate all the banks of
the country state and national, fur
nish them with capital and surplus
equal to that which they now have,
and leave S1,OOOO0O,OO0 for other in
vestments. Is it not worth while to
give some attention to the liquor ques-
ton? Imagine, if you can, the effect
upon the home life of the country if
the amount invested in drink were in
vested in bank stock, and what do you
think would be the effect on business
if the capital and surplus Of the banks
were doubled in two years -
The speaker went into citation OF
the evils that the use of alcohol de-
velops to the mind and to the body,
and the fact that no state permits the
sale Of intoxicants to a minor.
"No employer" he said, cares to
put business in the hands OF tippler
The man who drinks cannot safely be
trusted with the care of life or prop
erty. Read the advertisements in the

CRACKSMEN MISS $4,000
Safe Wrecked, but Noise Fails
to Reach Workers.

inexperienced safe crackers tried
last night to blow open the safe in
the office Of the Locust Farms Dairy,
458 and $50 Tenth Avenue, with the
result that they wrecked the door Of
the safe, tore a five-foot hole in the
rear wall, smashed several panes of
glass and missed $4,000 in the shat
tered strong box
The most puz2ling feature Of the
case is that despite the fact that the
explosion must have made terrific
noise, and that men were working in
the building, no one in the neighbor-
hood could be found who had heard IT.

BASE BOMBARDED

Amsterdam, April 3o.-"The coast

dispatch TO the "Teiegraaf"
"A thick mist prevented the vessels
engaged from being seen. That the
bombardment was effective in places Is
inferred from the numerous fires that
arose on the land"

YORKVILLE. 8. O.,
TUESDAY. MAY 4, 1915

Some people who are considering
the question of erecting state ware
houses by means Of cooperation, are
a little mixed up on the question as
to whether it is better to go into busi-
ness as partnerships or corporations.
The principal matter of concern Is that
Of Limiting liability, there being a be-
lief that in the case Of a firm each
member would be liable to the full
amount of his estate in case OF judg-
ment or the like, while in the case of
a corporation liability Of a stockholder
would be limited to the amount or MS
stock. Generally speaking there
would be something to this; but the
proposition does not apply in this case.
Upon the erection of state ware
house the owners thereof lease 1t to
the state, and their responsibility
ceases from thence forward. Respon-
sibility for the operation of the ware
house devolves upon the custodian or
manager thereof, and his faithful SER
vice is duly guaranteed by the bond
he is required to give before he takes
charge. There is no responsibility up
on the individual owners. except the
privilege Of electing trustees, and
vesting them with power Of attorney
to lease the property to the state. All
this can be done at a cost Of five or
six dollars, while to incorporate in
wolves charter fees, advertising Of no.
tices and the printing Of stock GER
tificates.
