had fed from the lot and had closed
the single gate behind her.
Roth animals, maddened at losing
half of their prey, sprang upon the
nrostrate form of the other child. The
larger dog grasped the long hair; the
otber sang her teeth in the child's neck.
Holding her so, the dogs dragged her
hack and forth across the lot until the
screams Of spectators had brought po-
licemen TO the rescue.
Petrolmen Gilgan and Green leaped
in,o the lot together. There was
sbort struggle over the unconscious
child's body. Finally the grip Of the
dogs was broken, and the smaller AMI
msl was driven into a corner and shot:
The bigger dog wheeled suddenly and
bou1 ded back into the apartment house
basement. Gilgan, without waiting Tor
his fellow policeman, followed.
Shot Through Window.
The dog leaped to the sill of a
barred window, and Gilgan did not
doie shoot for fear his bullet would hit
some one in the throng that had gath
cred outside He kept the animal en-
gared with his club until the other po-
liceman thrust his revolver through
tne drilled window from the outside
and shot IT.
Mary was carried by the policemen to
the Hospital for Deformitories and
Joint Diseases on Mount Morris ParK
East. where hrst aid was given. Her
limbs, face and neck were terribly
clnwed and bitten. Physicians at the
Harlem Hospital, where she was taken
I later, say she cannot live.

MURPHY'S ALLIES
OUT FOR WAGNER
Tammany, McCabe, Kelly
and Harris Join to Name
Senator for Governor.

Robert Wagner, minority leader OF
the Senate, will be supported by Tam
many Hall and its upstate allies Tor
the Democratic nomination for Gov
ernor at the coming primaries II an
agreement reached at conference here
yesterday is carried out. This means
that Justice Samuel J. Seabury can't
be the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor unless he wins the nomination
at the Democratic primaries.
Yesterdays conference was attended
by Charles F. Murphy, Senator Wag,
ner. Tom Foley, Norman L. Mack, OF
Buffalo; Edwin A. Harris, chairman OF
the Democratic State Committee; VIII
lam II. Kelly, Of Syracuse; Patrick r:
McCabe, Of Albany, and number OF
the other upstate Democratic leaders
Murphy, it is understood, was not Ia
yorable to the nomination or SENATOR
Wagner. but the upstate Democrats IN
sisted go ttrongly upon the Senator
nomination that Murphy capitulated'
Calvin ?. Huston, of Yates. Will nave
the support of the organization ior
Lieutenant Governor, ana sam v"
termyer will have It's backing Tor the
Democratic nomination for United
States Senator. A.
In view Of the declaration OF Justice
Seabury's friends that unless the organ
izatioh stood for his nomination a full
differentiation ticket would be placed
in the field, an excellent Democratic
fight can be looked for at the Demo,
cratic primaries. Justice Seabury Will
head this ticket, according TO his
friends. Some of the Seabury men held
out the hope last night that Murphy
would call his lieutenants into another
conference and undo the work OF yes
terday. They believe that if Murphy
can be convinced that Senator Wagner
cannot be elected he will drop HIM.
The upstate Democrats insisted on
Senator Wagner's nomination because
President Wilson had given his APP
prevail to him by offering him the New
York City postmastership, which he
refused. Another reason advanced in
his favor was the fact that he would poll
practically the entire German-American
vote. Senator Wagner was born IN
Prussia. and came to this country when
a boy. He has always been loyal or
ganization man, while Judge Seabury
has been independent in politics.
