found him, shot by sniper. It Is a

RUNAWAY AUTO
INJURIES MAN
Woman Faints-- Report Made
to Police Here

A runaway automobile containing
five people down the Smith street hill
about 1880 o'clock yesterday after
noon ran down a man waiting for
the ferryboat, injuring him and
smashed into the ferry gates. Charles
Knudson, of Brehaut avenue, Totem
vile, q carpenter, standing near the
ferry gates was knocked down and
badly injured about the legs and
body. He was taken into the ferry
house and later went to his home. The
machine containing men and women
had just come down the hill and the
driver in a hurry to get a ticket 1t is
thought forgot to set the brakes pro-
perly.
The ferry gates were damaged and
those in the car were badly frighten-
ed and one of the women tainted. 1t
was some time 1t is said before she
could be brought out from under the
spell. The car was but slightly dam
aged.
Patrolman Christopherson who ap-
peared shortly after the accident Sc
cured the name of the driver and
owner of the car, but made no arrest
according to the report gained at po-
lice headquarters this morning where
1t was said that he had not made any
such report of the accident.
The automobile went on the boat
after the mishap and it is said that
the patrolman went over to Totem
Vile with it. When the boat docked
at Tottenville the ticket collector went
ashore for a Tottenville patrolman to
make an arrest in the case.
Tottenville police not having any
jurisdiction over what accidents hap
pen in New Jersey refused to make
the arrest. None of the machines or
other vehicles were allowed to get
off the boat at Tottenville this trip
much to Indignation of the drivers
and owners and they were brought
back to this city again. Still no ar
rests were made it is said and no re-
port was made to headquarters.

CITY employees VIII OSE
WAGES were Held UP

After weeks of argument pro and
con as to whether or not certain en-

regularly" appointed should be paid,
the Board of Aldermen last night, fol-
lowing some more argument and the
receipt of more opinions from City
Attorney Leo Goldberger. voted to pay
all of these men.
The first case to come before the
Board in relation to the pay of those
not regularly appointed was that of
Worthington Comings of the City Col
lector's office. Mr.. Comings was ap-
pointed as assistant city collector dur
ing Joseph Hornsby's absence in the
service. On June 3 Hornsby returned
to work and his leave of absence was
revoked but, according to the City At
torney's opinion he was retained with
the knowledge and consent of the en-
tire Board of Aldermen. There was
no reason why his salary should not
be paid him, the attorneys opinion
stated. A vote was taken to have the
opinion spread on the minutes. All
