RILEY DISMISSED
BY GOV. WHITMAN
Takes Summary Action Against
Prison Superintendent,
Charging Misconduct.

ALBANY. n. Y. Jan. Ex-Governor
Whitman today dismissed John II.
Riley as State superintendent of
prisons. Riley's dismissal came on
the executive charge of misconduct
i'm Office and Is the elimination of the
RiIey-Osborne controversy.
Governor Whitman, in a lengthy
opinion, sustained the charges of mis-
conduct in office, preferred by him
self. These charges had to do with
the transfer of convicts, members of
the Welfare Association organized by
former Warden Osborne, from Sing
Sing to Clinton prison.
Immediately after the order of re-
moval was served the deposed super
intendent issued a statement in which
he said:
''In all his advice regarding prison
affairs Governor Whitman has catered
to maudlin sentimentalists rather
than the public interest or the welfare
of the prisoners. In acceding to the
demand for my removal by n coterie
of millionaires and other well inten-
toned persons who know nothing
about prisons, and who have only the
most vague notions of prison condi-
tions, being the victims of an erratic
visionary, he has shown himself to be
destitute of courage to discharge his
duty regardless of public clamor.'
Riley's successor will be named next
week

GARMENT GIRLS
ASK COURT AID
TO GET WAGES
Trouville Waist Co. Strikers
Will Be Paid Tonight, Com
pany Announces.

Fifty-one striking women employees
of the Trouville Waist Company ap-
peared in the First Precinct Court to-
day to ask Judge Grice's aid in col
lecting wages which they say are due
them. The white goods workers went
on strike yesterday for more wages,
and a walk-out of nearly all of the
employees at the plant at Austin and
Astor streets followed.
The Young women told their troubles
to Richard P. Rooney. clerk of the
court, before Judge Grice arrived. Mr.
Rooney called the factory on the tele-
phone and was informed that the
superintendent, Louis Blank, was IN
New York city. 1t was stated at the
plant that the wages will be paid to
the striking workers tonight.
Mr.. Rooney advised them to wait
until that time and to wait upon
Judge Crice tomorrow should they ex-
perience any difficulty. The workers
stated that there are number OF
others not there today to whom wages
are owing.
Among the number was Miss
Austinia, Eisenstein, of 20 Monmouth
street, who made a complaint for as
sault and battery last week against
Blank. Miss Eisenstein alleged that
she was roughly elected from the
factory because she attempted to in
duce fellow employees to join the
white goods workers union. Judge
eirice heard the case Wednesday and
dismissed the complaint.
That strikes in other garment fac
tories throughout the city would fol-

Wanted to Get" Burger
Girl, Too.

State today virtually completed the
direct presentation of it's testimony
against Mrs. Elizabeth F. Mohr, Cecil
Brown and Henry Spellman, on trial
here for the murder of the woman's
husband, Dr. c. Franklin Mohr.
George w. Heals, the negro chauf-
feur, who confessed that he took part
in murder plot alleged to have been
instigated by Mrs Mohr, finished his
testimnoy just before the luncheon
recess. Questioned alternately by
counsel for the two negro defendants
and by the prosecuting attorney on
cross and redirect examination, he
was taken over the various details of
his three days testimony without ma
terially changing it.
When he left the stand II was be-
lieyed the State had only a few wit
fnesses to follow before it rested.
J. J. Fitzgerald, OF counsel for Mrs.
Mohr concluded his cross-examina-
ton of Healis today. The witness said
that Mrs. Mohr had told him she
would not allow her son, Charles, to
go to his fathers home at Newport
while DIR. Mohr had Miss Emily Bur-
ger there.
John 3. Edwards, counsel for Spell
man, then began his cross-eXamina-
tion of the witness.
A letter. written by Heals on Octo-
Der II to Attorney Edwards, IN which
he asked about the adYisability of
changing lawyers, was identified by
the witness. Heals asserted, how
ever, that by this he did not have in

former Governor Franklin Murphy

Austen Colgate for governor continue
to be recorded nightly. The G. V.
Baumann Association Is the latest
to come forward with its unanimous
approval of the two Essex entries.
AT n meeting last night in its head
quarters, Fourteenth avenue and
Sixth street, the association passed
resolutions pledging it's hearty sup
port to the Murphy-COlgate ticket.
Several members Of the club spoke in
support of the resolutions, declaring
that Essex county was entitled to all
the honorS the State organization
could bestow upon 1t.
Especially was this true, the speak
ers continued, when Essex offered two
such men as Messrs. Murphy and Col
gate. a ticket including them would
insure the party of success in No
yember, it was declared.
Practically all the members of the
association have signed the petitions
to have the names of Messrs. Murphy
and Colgate printed upon the ballots.
A few who were not present at last
nights meeting will attach their sig
natures later, IL was stated. Com
ment was made upon the fact that in
dorsements have seldom, il ever, been
given so freely at such an early date,
as are being given Messrs. Murphy
and Colgate.

also held. Thomas Hickey, jr., was
elected president for the sixteenth
consecutive term. Others named were

TAXESBOOSTED

Assuming the role of an aggrieved
taxpayer, Michael Maioran, of Belle
Vile. appeared before the Essex
County Board of Taxation this aft
ernoon to ask for a review and corr
rection of the assessments on props
erty in Belleville assessed under the
name of Thomas A. Edison The
total assessment on the properties in
question. both real and personal, is
$1,000, and Maioran, who is said to
be acting for others beside himself.
desires that the assessments be iu-
creased.
He alleges that goods in the Bel
mont avenue factory which are de-
scribed as Personal property, are no.
assessed high enough, and that the
goods in the factory on the south side
of Franklin street are not assessed
at all.
Two plots, one on the south side
of Franklin street and the other on
the west side of Belmont avenue. are
assessed at $4,000 and $14 00O respec-
lively, and this is regarded by the
objectors as too low.

but TreVino Troops Are
Hunting Him Down.

EI. pASO. Tex, Jan. 2i.-Ifrancisco
Villa is still at large. according to the
best information reaching Carran-
zista officials in Juarez today.
A dispatch from General Herrera,
commanding the government troops
at Chihuahua, denied reports that
Villa had been rounded up with seV-
eral followers and taken prisoner.
Persistent rumors were in circulation
that the bandit leader had been taken,
but government authorities here de-
clared the reports We're evidently pre-
mature.
There is every confidence among
Carranzistas that Villa will even
tually be taken. lie will be imme-
diately shot
Following Mexican Consul Andreas
GarCia's announcement that the
Mexican robinhood' WAS being
brought to Jnarez To be executed pos
sibly before a great crowd at the race
track, the denial hy General Harrera
resulted in great disappointment.
AS the fondesr hopes OF The de facto
government We're thus dissipated, a
new revolution against Garranza was
reported TO be marking its progress
around Torreon. with human corpses
swinging from telephone poles and be-
headed bodies left in the streets

STERN
TO OFFENDERS
One AcquittaI Out of Fifteen
Crime Gases in Essex Courts
Recently.

Out of fifteen persons accused of
crime and tried IN the county courts
before iuries during this week and
last only one has been acquitted. In
thirteen cases the iuries have re-
turned yerdicts, while in one case,
that of a man charged with murder,
a jury has disagreed.
In the one ease in which an acquit-
tai resulted the twelve men who
brought in the verdict were sum
marily discharged from further ser
vice by one of the judges and char
acterized as unfit to serve the county
as jurors" No jury panel in several
years has turned in such a record of
convictions.
Another unusual feature of the YER
diets of this panel of jurors has been
the large number of recommends
tions of mercy. In at least eight
cases the jurors have made such a
recommendation To the court when
returning their Verdicts, and in all
of them the offense with which the
defendant was charged was Il serious
one.
six of the trials resulted in con-
victions last week before Judge Will
lam NJ. Seufert, of Bergen county,
who sat here to assist the Essex
judges. The one acquittal was also
before him, in the case of Demenico
Raimo, who admitted that he car
ried a concealed weapon, as charged,
but pleaded that he didn't know where
he got it, Judge Seufert discharged
the jury the same day, Wednesday.
Two Of the convictions We're brought
i'm before the one jury was discharged.
All of the other convictions have been
brought in since then, four before
Judge Seufert last week and two be-
fore Judge Joshua r. Salmon, and five
before Judge Harry Y. Osborne this
week. The one case tried by Judge
Martin last week. that of James Bo-
vino. charged with murder, resulted IN
a disagreement.
The panel as drawn consisted of
125 men from all sections of the
county, but with some excused on
account of illness and other causes
there were never more than ninety
Jurors in daily attendance in court.
The jurors began service on January
10 and will finish today, a new panel
coming in Monday.

CITY HOSPITAL
OVERCROWDED
WITH PATIENTS
No More Pneumonia Cases
Taken-Man With Broken
Neck Walking About.

The City Hospital is so overcrowded
that none but patients whose condi-
ton makes their refusal absolutely
impossible can be admitted, II became
known today, and the hospital con-
mittee of the Board Of Health Will
attempt at a special meeting late this
afternoon to find solution of the
situation.
The City Hospital today has 5l1 pa
tients. with accommodations for only
800. \ man with ~ broken neck is
walking the streets because he cannot
get into the institution. The City Dis
penSary has been instructed that not
even pneumonia cases can be received
in the hospital and Superintendent
Charles f.. Talbot, of the hospital, has
informed DR. Ambrose +. Dowd, chief
resident physician, that only the most
urgent cases can be admitted.
The hospital is totally unable TO
cope with the situation should the de-
mands upon it show the slightest in
crease. Further, every one of the
seventy eight city beds in the private
hospitals is filed and the private in
stitutioDs are themselves face to face
with an unprecedented situation aris-
ing from abnormal conditions.
The man with a broken neck is a
pencil peddlcr, who was injured in an
industrial accident some months ago.
His neck has been in a cast. The
City Dispcnsary staff has decided he
should spend several weeks in the
hospital. But this is not an emer-
gency case and he must wait, with
what harmful consequences, it can-
not be known.
Patients Crowded In.
Dr. Dowd told the Evening Star to
day that wards i'm the City Hospita
intended for twenty-five or thirty pa
tients are crowded with seventy
Assistant Superintendent John Preise
stated that with the 800 beds occupied
cots have been made to take tbs
places of beds and patients have beer
crowded in as best the authorities
could.
Little hope is held out for an imme-
diate improvement of conditions. DR.
| Dowd said today it does not seem
that the new wing being added to the
hospital will be completed for five or
six months.
Beside this situation, the hospital
committee will confer further with
Allen & McQuade, the accountants in
stalling a new bookkeeping and rec
ords system in the institution There
will also be a continuation of the in
vestigation into the treatment given
at the hospital to Walter Reppin. who
died at his mothers home, January G
after having been detained in the
observation ward OF the hospital. 1t
is understood the committee will de-
eide it cannot place the responsibility
of a mistake or carelcssness ON any
hospital employe.

ATHENS, Jan. 21.-After a two
days bombardment an Anglo French
squadron silenced the forts at the
Bulgarian town of Porto Lagos and
landed troops on Bulgarian soil. The
allied land forces destroyed Bulgarian
gun emplacements and after a brief
reconnaissance withdrew.
The landing was made on Wednes-
day with only slight casualties. An
glo-F French troops moved northward
toward the Bulgarian railway. a few
miles north of the Bay of Porto Lagos.
but, encountering Il superior Bulga-
rian force, withdrew their ships.
An official statement from the Bull
garian war office. telegraphed hero
today, reported the bombardment OF
Porto LAGOS and Deadeaghatch by an
Anglo-FrcnCh squadron of twenty-s
four warships on Tuesday, but made
no mention of the landing of troops
the following day. On the same day
the Turkish war office reported an
other Anglo French sduadrnn shelIed
Turkish positions onthe Gulf of Saros.
The warships taking part in the
raids on the Bulgarian and Turkish
coasts presumably We're from the An
glo- French Dardanelles SQUADRON of
Admiral De Robeck. It is thought
possible the reconnaissance at Porto
Lagos was preliminary to troop
landing in force.
Though SalonilIi dispatches report
ed considerable damage done by the
shelling of Deadeaghatch. the Bulga-
rian war office announces no CASUAL
ties.
