Socialists Ignore Benson
Resignation VIII Cause No
Dissension, Says Hillouit

The announcement of Allan Benson
Socialist candidate for President at the
last election. that he would resign from
the party il the resolutions against war
and CONSUMPTION adopted b. the 81.
Louis Socialist convention were ratiiied,
produced no effect on radical leaders OF
The organization here yesterday. They
insisted that they still upheld the reso-
luton. which is now being put TO r
referendum. and were certain that II
would be passed.
al Benson resigns. il will not affect
tire party in any way whatever Morris
Hillquit said yesterday. IF he with
draws he will not be followed by any
cons derable group Of men. His threat
cannot create diSsonSion in the party.
Il DO not believe Benson is in'u-
enced by any consideration except his
own convictions. Only an extremely
small group OF individuals in the party
hold 10 the same views. The party Will
not reconsider the resolutions adopted
al the St. Louis convention because OF
Mr.. Bensou's threat. We arc practical
IS unanimous concerning that action

Pray to Halt Leap
Of Woman Waverinq
On Roof Of Church
Thousands Watch Firemen, Po-
lice and Priests Try to Rescue
Would-Bc Suicide

Boston, June "a woman sat on the
edge of the roof OF st. James's Roman
Catholic Church, threatening suicide,
for more than two hours to-day, while
three priests parleyed with her through
a skylight A congregation at mass
prayed that she might he stayed from
her purpose, police reserves attempted
to reach her and iremen spread life
nets to arrest what would have been a
i5-foot fall had she jumped.
At each effort Of the police and fire
men to approach her the woman shout
ed that she would drop from the roof
if they came nearer. Meantime a great
crowd had collected outside the church,
and it was necessary TO rope off the
streets in the vicinity TO give the fire
men room to place their nets.
After much persuasion the Rev.
Philip J. ODonnell. who had partly
crossed the roof toward the woman,
prevailed on her to leave he. dangerous
position. and eventually she was es-
corted back through the skylight.
At the Psychopathic Hospital later
she said she was Mrs. Celia Nennard, a
parishioner OF ST. James's Church.
Relatives. she said, were trying to have
her committed to an insane asylum, and
she intended to kill herself rather than
submit.

With a table for pulpit and an

said yesterday that locations for an
edifice are being considered.

hard 70 find. We wish Calvary well and
do not wish to appear in competition
Dr. Kemp resigned from Calvary
Church, after three years in the pulpit,
because of almost continuous dis
agreement with the board of trustees
which, he declared in a recent sermon,
was crucifying Christ afresh.'

BalIoonist Lands in Meadow
Fire, Runs Ablaze to River
Henry Wormsnger Finds Parachute Tied When 1000 Fee
in the Air Over New Jersey-Thnk9
Life Was Attempted

and the course Of the balloon lay
through its centre.
The aeronaut's assistants. waiting be-
low and sensing something wrong when
he failed to drop at the proper moment,
set out in an automobile 10 follow him,
accompanied By dozens Of the thou
sands Of spectators who were watching
the speck in the sky above the smoke
from the meadows fire. Four years ago
many of those present had seen an
other aeronaut plunge to his death IN
those same meadows.
Wormsinger thought he had gagged
the escape of the hot air so that the
balloon would clear the. fire, but in
stead the swinging Silken globe dipped
too suddenly. and those pursuing in
automobiles saw it disappear in the
smoke. Carried by the wind, the craft
swept across the meadows so low that
the flames licked the seat and finally
caught the rigging. Wormsinger
climbed higher and higher. but finally
the fire reached him, and. with his
clothing blazing. he released his hold
and dropped twenty feet.
Unhurt by the fall, he scrambled 10
his feet and dashed for the IIacken-
eack River. short distance away.
When his rescuers reached the
meadows. expecting to find his body
in the wreckage of the balloon. they
found him standing shivering on the
river bank.
Wormsinger told the police that
some one in the ring of spectators
had deliberately tied the ropes on the
parachute in an attempt on his life.
while he was experimenting the fit
ting of the gas bag.

West Side Inquiry
And Improvement
Measures Signed
Governor Approves Green
Bill in Effort to END
Controversy"

Albany, June 3.-The Ottinger West
Side improvement bill and the Green
bill to investigate the whole West
Side controversy were signed to-day
by Governor Whitman. The approval
of the latter measure was surprise,
as it was understood that he had been
advised il was unnecessary.
The Ottinger bill provides that the
West Side improvement plans must be
approved by the Public Service Com
mission, and holds up the present
plans agreed to by the New York
Central Railroad and the New York
City Board of Estimate by authority
of law of 1911. These plans, 1t was
contended by advocates of the Ottin-
ger bill, granted too many concessions
to the railroad.
Governor Whitman declared. in a
memorandum, that the law of 1911 had
failed, despite six years of negotia-
tions. TO accomplish the results in
tended, and that as a result no
tracks have been removed from any
streets, and no better freight termi-
nails have been provided for the rail
road, upon whose metropolitan faclli-
ties the food supply, the agriculture
and productive enterprises of the city
depend in so large a degree"
"The effort" said the Governor, ITO
treat this important matter as one
entitled to exemption from the scru-
tiny of the expert body to which the
state intrusts its policy in transpor-
tation matters mas proved unfortu-
nate, and the present measure Is de-
signed to restore the authority mis-
takenly removed from the Public Ser
vice Commission in 1911.
"Thc suggestion that the bill vio-
lates some shadowy concept of mu-
nicipal home rule is without basis.
The measure was twice passed by
9TH houses Of the Legislature, with
10 more than two members Of
the entire New York City representa-
tior. numbering eighty, opposed to it,.
Rarely has measure Of large i'm
portance come before me with so
little of substance in the arguments
urged against it and with so slight
a showing of popular spirit and
numerical strength in that opposition"
Under the Green bill the whole
West Side improvement situation is to
be investigated by a commission com
posed of five persons appointed by the
Governor. one by the President FRO
TEN Of the Senate. and one by the
Speaker Of the Assembly. The Gov
crnor declared that this measure
would insure fair and impartial in
quiry on the merits and report to the
Legislature, which he hoped would con-
stitute the CLOSING chapter OF con-
troversy already too protracted.'
