INSANE GENIUS SEES
 HIS OWN PAINTINGS
As Happy as a Boy, Blakelock Has
 His First ''VaCatiOn"

New York April 12-Ralph Albert Blakelock, the insane artist whose early work has at last placed him in the front rank among American painters, was brought from the State hospital at Middletown to New York City yesterday to view a collection of his paintings at the Reinhardt Gal leries, 565 Fifth avenue. Blakelocl was delighted to be in the city. The smile that came over his face when he was greeted by his old friend, Har- ry w. Watrous, secretary of the National Academy of Design, and
 Mrs. Van Rensselaer, Adams, who started the movement to make
 brighter the remaining days of the 1 unfortunate artist, never left him the whole time he was here.
 He was deeply interested in the remarkable changes that had taken place in the city since he last saw it. but he was more enthusiastic about his paintings, which he practically
 gave away in return for food and clothing for his family, without fore- seeing that some of them were to be sold for thousands of dollars.
 The painter had been eager to come to New York ever since he was in formed several weeks ago that he was to be brought here to see the collection of his own works. Dr.. Maurice c. Ashley, superintendent of the hospital, and c H. Moore, an attendant, accompanied him on the first trip outside the insane hospital since he was committed to it moro than sixteen years ago.
 As happy as a youngster about to be dressed for some special occasion,
 Blakelocl1, with the assistance of r'r. Ashley and Attendant Moore took pains that his new clothes should be
 properly arranged. They were se- lected for him by Mrs. Van Rensse-
 Iaer Adams. Dr. Ashley brought MT Blakelock by way of the Hudson
 Tubes to Thirty-third street and Fifth
 avenue, and the painter was amazed
 at the engineering which made the
 tunnel possible.
 When he stepped out of the tur-
 nel into the sunlight of Broadway and
 Sixth avenue MT. Blakelock stopped
 for a moment to gaze at the tower
 ing buildings. He said their very
 height made him dizzy, and remark
 ed on the great change that had taken place in New York City as he
 remem bered it.
 Another surprise came for the ar
 tist when he was invited to step into
 an automobile, sent to carry him to
 the Hotel Woodstock in West Forty
 third street. He never before had
 ridden in a motor car, and was visib!v affected by it's motion.
 The artist at once noticed the northward trend of business on Fifth avenue, and said that thorough fare reminded him wildly of pictures he had seen of famous streets of Paris However, he could not under stand the causes which made busl-
 ness move from Twenty third street
 to Forty-second street.

WITNESS CR|NGES AS 'GANGSTERS' WATCH
Tell Judge in Bali Trial He Fears
 for His Life

New York, April 2-Manifesting a pronounced fear of gang vengeance, Carmine Dl Paola, one of the orig inal gunmen hired to kill Barnet Baff took the stand again before Justice Shearn in the criminal branch of the supreme court yesterday and testified against Frank Ferrara, the chauffeur, who was on trial for murder in the first degree. In substance Di PaOla repeated the story he had told at the trial of Giuseppe Arichiello the first gunman convicted in connection with the Baff murder.
 Under s-examination, however, Di PaOla was compelled by Caesar Barra, counsel for the defense, to re- veal his motives for ''squealing". On that point he was sensitive but readily admitted, again and again as he had done at Arichiellos trial that he was a horse thief and a professional gun man. He also admitted that he him self had made six trips to kill Baff be- fore he retired from the conspiracy because he could not get enough mon ey.
 But when he was asked to reveal the names of the persons to whom he be- trayed the Baff conspirators, squirmed ill his chair and point blank refused to answer. For fully three minutes he pleaded with Justice Shearn to spare him from making answers that would tend to reveal him as the real inform CT against the Baff conspirators. To do so, he implied, would be as good as putting him on the electric chair, be- cause there were present in the court room "criminals of the gang" who had already threatened his life

 FROM THE LIVER
Everyone should drink hot water with phosphate in 1t,

DODGE DEATH AS
 PALISADES CRUMbLE
Jitney Bus With Passengers Nar-
 roWly Escapes Destruction

New York, April 12,-Winding slowly up the Paterson Plank road to
 the summit of the Palisades last night
 a lone J1tney bus with several passen-
 gers had just rolled past the point
 where Bower street descends into the
 road when a tremendous crash stirred
 the air and brought with it a shower
 of stones and brick from the brow of the cliff sixty feet above the road In another instant two tool houses tumbled through the night followed
 by an avalanche that carried tons and tons of cath and cement, as thought the heights of the Palisades had been rent by an explosion. ,
 In Jersey City, Hoboken, and Wee hawken residents heard the crash They thought it was a sudden storm
 but looking out of the windows they could see the sky sprinkled with stars. Then there was a rumor that there had been an explosion on the Pali- sades, that houses had been seen to tumble off their foundations and that hundreds mad been killed. Throngs scurried about for information of some calamity which they felt sure had talk en place.
 Up on the aPterson Plank road, where the jitney buss had passed just in time to escape destruction there was clamor and confusion. For nearly an hour no one knew what had happened or how it had happened. Investigation showed that the retaining wall, built along the cliff of the Palisades on the Paterson P1ang road to retain Bower street as it winds down into the Pater- son Plank road, had collapsed.
 But the destruction of this wall was found to have been caused by the col lapse of a second retaining wall on the inner side of Bower street, which SUD- ported the property of Thomas Hop kins on the top of the Palisades. The spring tnaw and the swelling of the earth had put so much additional pres sure upon this wall that it suddenly 1 gave way.
 Such mass of rock and stone came l down upon the lower terrace that ! there, too, the wall yielded releasing | tons of rock and cement to the Pater- 1 son Plank road below where trolley l cars and jitney busses were passing at 1 frequent intervals. After firemen had l spent several hours digging in the | debris it's was decided that no one had 1 been hurt. Traffic on the road was blocked until the earth could be 1 cleared away.

RUM AND MAHOGANY.

What will the schooners, laden with
New England rum for West Africa,
bring home? That question may have
puzzled many who have noted the
strange revival of the rum traffic that
used to flourish in the slavery days.
1t may have been thought that the rum
paid for the round voyage. A four
masted schooner, the first to go out,
has now returned to Boston with 1885,

IN THE YPRES SALIENT.

On our way down we had to pass any number of batteries. conceal ed in all sorts of places, and they were all firing. AS is was getting dark. the flash of the guns lit up the sky, and Fritz was busy trying to knock out our guns and catch troops and trans ports on all roads.

It was harder going. but, if shell hit near us, We stood good chance that it would bury deep in the mud before exploding, and we would be compari- lively safe.

CORRESPONDENT GIVES THE WORLD INSIDE
 INFORMATION

A writer for the Associated press says: In the midst of the gsrhled stuff full Of recriminstions against the enemy which we get through our pub l lie press it may be useful to print DOT tions of letters lately received from abroad
 The first letter is from Paris, and is from & French lady who had been staying during last March in SwitEer- land. She gives an idea at any rate of what is being said in Switzerland.
 T saw Monsieur Romain Roland (noted French authorl and had long and interesting conversation with him. Germany seems 10 have made up her mind to get rid Of the Prussisn dynasty and tyranny and there is a strong and sensible party who wish to establish a German confederation where all states would have equal rights
 Germany and Austria are clamoring for peace and most reasonable terms have been offered to the Allies, but England absolutely refuses to stop fighting. One is appalled, by the de ,iberate lies Of the press, when com paring newspapers of various eoun- tries The desire to fight is kept up ar,ifieially by the most outrageous talsities- Peace tendencies are consid- cred evil. unpatriotic and treacherous. Letters and printed matter treating of rhis question. even between neutral states, are quietly eonfiscated by the French censorship.
 As your friend. Professor H. said. Ehe present regime of tyranny is worse than the state Of things during the middle ages.
 All this is very sad and one won ders what the masses will do when they discover how the capitalist poli- ticians have played about with their blood and money. Will they become wiser and endeaYor to send honest people to parliment? It Is doubtful. There may be a revolution which may trouble the waters for clever egotists % fish in. The spirit is lacking-the spirit which unites and heals instead Q: destroying and seyering. But those who speak Of honesty in business or politics are only called idle dreamers. am afraid I am rather pessimistic about human kind. which seems to be Tery far yet from it's age ot discre- lion"
 The other letter is from German speaking Swiss living in Basic. Having always been fond Of England and an admirer Of the English. he is much dis t-sssed al the rubbish which is finding i-s way into print in this country, and ~hich is apparently being accepted by the people
 T hear So little from my English friends now that il sometimes seems as if the two countries had moved far Eher apart. And. indeed, when read English papers and magazines I often ind it hard 10 convince myself that rhe stuff can have been thought and written down and printed for publica- ton in dear old England, which I had tee1 accustomed to regard as the coun- t-y Of good sense and fairness and broadmindedness.
 Talking about the fairness and oroadmindedness Of the general press in England today, I may mention that a few weeks ago in addressing a Shet.

ELECTION IN DOUBT

service last night The -epublicans made
their headquarters at the once OF Con-
gresham Peters, while the democrats
opened their rooms at the corner Of Main
and franklin streets.
The early returns all indicated the
election Of Gov. Hughes % President, and
the announcement OF republican and
democratic newspapers alike, early In the
evening, that Hughes had been elected,
caused jubilation ct republican head
quarters and corresponding deprsssion at
democratic headquarters.
Uutil Ii o'clock there was nothing In the
returns to disturb the calm contentmsnt
OF the republicans, and ct that hour they
closed their headquarters, and went home
satisfied. The democrats, however, held
on to their foriorn hope, and by mid
night their patience began to be rewarded.
Their hopes were boistered up by the
statement Of Chairman Mccormack, Of the
democratic national committee, that the
election was by no means lost yet, and
they held on two hours longer. They had
the satisfaction of retiring with the feel
ing that the election was still in doubt.
