George Herring spent some time
in Walhalla recently. He was here
as an employee Of a machinery COM

at the Walhalla plant Of the Mona

Frenchman, but few took to this
story. AS one of our good German
citizens expressed it, "He Is Dutch

watched considerably while here, his

Lobby Charge
In Food Bill
Anglers Brown
Senator Promises Inquiry if
Warehouses Have Re-
tanned Legislators
Especial Correspondence

ALBANY, Aug. 6.-Senator Elon r.
Brown was emphatic tonight in ex-
pressing his resentment against the
charge that certain lawyer-legislators
have been retained by the warehouse
interests to prevent the enactment of
any effective food legislation at the
extra session OF the Legislature. He
declared the publication of any such
charges without giving names or with
out giving ne source from which they
came, was inexcusable and unwsr-
ranted.
1--WE should like to find out any leg
islators who are resorting to such
practices" said Senator Brown. IF
there is any foundation for such
charges the names of the accused
should be given to us and we would
lose no time in making an investiga-
ton"
Senator Brown plainly intimated his
belief that the source of the charge 5
came from "the second floor" meaning
the Governors office in the Capitol.
He is making no effort to conceal his
opposition to the drastic provisions
which Governor Whitman desires in
the food control bill. He believes that
the farmers will not stand for it, and
it is known that the Old Guard in the
Legislature is looking to their aid
to clip the wings of Governor Whit
mans third term prospects. Realizing
this, the Governor and his friends are
considering a speaking campaign TO
present his case to the farmers.
Whitman to Make Addresses
Governor Whitman left this after
noon for Madison Barracks, where he
will address the soldiers tomorrow
On Wednesday he will speak at a meet
ing of farmers at Sodus. Chautauqua
County. This speaking campaign will
undoubtedly be continued should the
Governor and his advisers deem il
necessary. The Governor will tell the
farmers that the legislation he pro-
poses will benefit the producers, and
that it Is the spectators, whose opera
tons injure both The producers and the
consumers, that he wants to reach. He
believes the Brown bill will have little
or no effect in preventing food manipu-
lstions, to end which the extra session
was called.
A hearing on that bill was held be-
fore Senator Browns war committee
this afternoon. Little interest was
shown in it. The committee, however.
will give a further hearing tomorrow

Patrolman Killed
In Battle With
Negro Burglar
Robber Turned in Harlem
Hallway and Slew
Policeman

Patrolman Robert Holmes, one OF the
four negro patrolmen attached to the
West l35th Street police station, was
killed last night in a running hght
with a burglar of his own race. lie
had chased the man into hallway at
Is West i3Sth Street, when the man,
who had run half way up the first
fight of stairs, turned and fired. One
bullet struck Holmes in the forehead,
the other just below the left eye.
At midnight the policeman was
standing on the corner of Lenox Ave
rue and l39th Street when he heard
the four revolver shots. He ran tow
ard the sound and surprised the burg
lar climbing out of the first door apart
ment at 68 West 139th Street, where
he had been detected while attempting
TO rob the home of Garfield Rose.
The burglar had fired four shots at
Rose. all of which missed, and as he
ducked into an alley connecting 139th
and l3Sth Streets, Holmes opened fire,
shooting in the air The man shot
twice in reply, but both bullets went
wild. He ran through the alley and
took refuge ir the hallway.
Slayer Escapes
Before other policemen, who had
been attracted by the racket, could ar
rive. the burglar had stepped across
the body of the patrolman, which lay
lust inside the door, and escaped
Holmes was still breathing when an
ambulance arrived, but he died by the
time he reached Harlem Hospital.
The first negro policeman TO give
his life for the city was appointed IT,
the force on August %, 1913. He was
the sole supporot of an old father and
a blind mother.
Holmes had always had a good rec
ord. Several times he had done excel
lent detective work, in digging out d
crime from among the residents IN
Harlem's BLACK belt"
Fourth Killed in Six Weeks
His death marks the fourth police
murder to occur in six weeks. In that
neriod three patrolmen have beer
killed in Manhattan and one in Brook.
Iyn So far, no one has been arrested
for any of the crimes:
Negroes who saw the chase say that
the burglar who shot Holmes was
short and slight. He carried an auto
matte pistol. Detectives of the 4th
Branch Bureau were placed on the case
at once.

Bomb Plotters Committed
Conspirators Against Morgan
To Be Examined Mentally

Wolf Hirsch and George Mieringer,
the employees of Roosevelt Hospital who
were arrested last April while carry
ing a bomb to the Offices Of j. T; Nor
gan & Co., were committed to Bellevue
for observation yesterday by Judge
Muluueen. in General Sessions. The
bomb" consisted of an empty cocoa
can and picric acid, and at best would
have done nothing worse than make a
noise.
Last June counsel for the defendants
assured Judge Wadhams, in General
Sessions, that a man named Miller,
on Captain Tuney's bomb squad, had
inspired his clients to make the bomb
and take it down TO the Morgan officeSS.
Assistant District Attorney Markewich
told Judge Mulqueen yesterday that ms
investigation, based on admissions
made by Mieringer, showed that the
police had not melted the crime. In
sending the men to the psychopathic
ward Judge Mulqueen acted on the
written report of Probation Ohicer
