MURDER CASE AT MCCARTHY
 IS UNSOLvED

According to mail advices received by the Gateway, there is much excite ment at Mccarthy owing to the fail ure of the Federal officials there to bring to justice the murderer of Rose Silberg, and to solve the mysterious death of Joe Petry. Both fatalities occurred at Mccarthy about two weeks ago. A Japanese was arrested but the authorities failed to connect him with the murder or sudden death. U. s. Marshal Brenneman has been appealed to and it is understood that a special officer will be detailed on the cases.

Father Kills Unruly
Girl, Shoots Self

HARRISON, N. j., Jan. 8.-Emil Gen
nell, whose martinez methods had
worked we'll with his four sons, but
not SO we'll with his seventeen-y -year-old
daughter, Annie, was in jovial mood
this evening as he sat at dinner with
his wife and his sons, Charles, Joseph
and Emil. Ernest, the fourth son, g
lieutenant in the Medical Reserve
Corps, is in a cantonment in the South
and Annie was late, as she had been
sometimes since she started working in
a Newark department store. Her father
looked up with a smile as she entered,
undoing her furs.
"Where have you been?" he asked,
still smiling.
"At the ssore," she replied lightly.
"Come with me-" ordered her father,
suddenly stern.
She followed him across the hall to a
bedroom. Those at the table heard Mr..
Gennell demand again in stentorian
tones where his daughter had been, and
then, almost as if in answer to the
query, came five shots in rapid success
sion. AS soon as they recovered from
their surprise they rushed across the
hall.
Annie lay dead on the floor of the
bedroom. A bullet, fired at such close
range that her left ear was black with
powder marks, had gone through her
head. Near her lay her father, with
four bullet wounds in his head, neck
and chest. A revolver was clasped in
his hand.
"This is better for you, mamma" he
gasped as his sons entered
He was taken to st. Michael's Hospi
tai. Newark His chance for recovery
is said to be slight.

vent any addition to the traffic problem
Of New York, where about 10000
trucks are already being used fer
hauling.
The subway beneath the Hudson
would be the cheapest solution, he
said, to do away with floating freight
across the river. Such a subway az he
had in mind, Mr. Shonts said, could be
constructed for S6,000,000, while the
smallest estimate on "A bridge across
the river was SAG 100000.
Also, Mr.. Shonts pointed out, a
bridge would have to be at least 250
feet above the water. The Brooklyn
Bridge, he said, had clearance Of 1876
feet.
Stevens Indorses Plan
Mr. Shonts also read into the record
a letter from John +. Stevens, engi-
necr Of the Panama Canal, which said
that Mr.. Shonts's plan was the correct
solution.
Mr.. Underwood, representing the
Eric Railroad, said he believed that it
was time the situation was looked into
and added that since al railroads are
now in the same fold mutual suspicion
may disappear de thought that the
cost Of the plan outlined by Mr.. Shonts
would be prohibitive. from the railroad
standpoint, ard suggested the use Of
huge pontoon bridge on the Hudson,
closing the river to traffic at certain
hours. The ideal system, he said, would
be to fiji in the Hudson, but that the
Erie was willing to cooperate in any
plan that promised solution.

Jail To Be Bettered

There is JOY in Ludlow Street jail
to-day, for Sheriff David II. Knott,
newly appointed prior of the alimonas-
terry, has announced that the brethren
of common misfortune housed there
will hereafter get more to eat.
If the Board Of Estimate will in
crease the appropriation, we'll and good;
if not, the good prior said yesterday he
will pay himself for the extra delca.
cies which will be served to the Ali
mony Club.
Sheriff Knott visited Ludlow Street
yesterday and talked with Gene"
Johnson, who has been serving as war
den Of the Jail for three terms. He
learned that the high cost Of living had
kicked a large hole in the bill Of fare
Of the inmates, whose meals were be-
coming as simple as their existence in
the Alimony Club.
Being'a hotel man, the Sheriff's in
dignation rose when he learned Of the
Spartan fare which was being served to
his guests. He announced yesterday
after his inspection that none of the
men was charged with criminal Of
fence, and therefore should receive a
little more consideration so far as food
went than ordinary prisoners.

Two explosions occurred in the high

waterfront and to establishments en-

The explosion at Murray Street threw
a column of water twenty feet into the
air This played for q few minutes
and then subsided as the water found
its way into the basement Of the build

trunk wires Of the Postal Telegraph

New Slogan of the
Food Board

More than score of Wholesale
groccrs will be arraigned next week
before representatives of the Food
Administration az ugar prohteers. One
of the alleged offenders is firm
whose standing in the trade is based
upon many upright years. 1t is
thought that the entire week will be
needed to hear all the cases.
Alan Fox, head Of the license bureau
of the food administration, and Charles

General, will act as referees. If the
evidence produced is such as to con-
vince them that the charges against
any wholesaler are true, that whole
saler will have to find some other busi-
ness, for his Judges will recommend
that his license be revoked.
The most prominent and oldest of
the groccrs under charges are dealers
in Brooklyn. Several are altered to
have charged twelve cents pound for
sugar. The name of one grocer is
mentioned as the most fragrant of all

Shonts Proposes
4-Track Tunnel
Under Hudson
Jersey Railroads Could Be
Linked With New York
for $6,000,0oO

Detailed plans for bringing New Jer-
sey railroads to Manhattan Island by
means of four-track tunnel undel
the Hudson River were presented to
the Governors Special West Side Com
mission yesterday, when Theodore P.
Shonts appeared as witness before
that body.
The head Of the Interborough Rapid
Transit Company produced estimates
of the cost Of the gigantic project and
letters from other experts ipdorsing &
the tunnel as more practical and much
cheaper than bridging the river More
over, 1t was given the tentative ap-
proval of at least one New Jersey rail
road official when Frederick d. Under
wood, of the Erie Railroad Company,
took the witness stand a few minutes
later.
The questions asked by members of
the commission indicated that they in
tended to delve into the entire problem
of freight traffic on the west side of
Manhattan in the course Of the presen,
investigation. The New York Central
Riverside Drive question, which
brought about The present investiga
tion, will be but a detail of the general
plan when completed.
Urges Freight Clearing Station
Mr. Shonts advocated the establish
ment Of q clearing station in the New
Jersey meadows where all freight
could be loaded on the carrier that
would take it TO it's final destination,
and do away with extra loading and
unloading. This clearing station
should be connected with Manhattan
Island, he said, by a tunnel. Stations
could be made on the east side OF
West Street, which would solve ths
problem Of congestion along the
waterfront, and these could be con-
nected with the east side OF the isl
and by two crosstown subways.
BY this method, he said, freight for
other places could be DETECTED in New
Jersey. Freight could be hauled under
the river, either by subway motors OF
by motor trucks. without interfering
with any other branch of transporta-
sion, and the subway crosstown and the
zone stations in the city would pre-
