' At the inquest yesterday-“into the
death of Ernest Holmes, Coroner John
J. Phelan, after examining six wit-i
nesses, made a finding of accidentalf
death. The witnesses stated that it
was quitedark at the time of the ac-
cident. and as neither partyhad a
light to notify the other of its ap-
proach, the accident was undoubtedly
the result of the boys’ carelessness.
The coroner stated that he could find
no cause for criminal negligence and,
exonerated Leo Stull, the driver of the:
wagon. of all blame.

Medical Examiner S. H. Huntington
was the ilrst witness examined. lie
stated that he was called to the Nor-

day morning. shortly after the boy

Escape With “.000

MIAMI. Fla, Sept. ld—While two
confederates waited outside in an
automobile. two heavily armed men
yesterday held up oillcisls of th'é' state
bank of 'Hempstead. a village thirty
miles south of here. robbed the
counters of 88,000 and escaped to-
ward the' Everglades.

According to the authorities the
two robbers who entered the bank
forced .9. ill. Fridges. vice-president.
and E. z. CrowIGY. cashier. to face
the wall with their hands above their
heads. As the men left the bank
Pridgen fired six shots after them.

Passes assisted by the Miami po-
lice gave chase. A report that a rac-
ing car containing four women was
seen ten miles west of here gave rise
to the belief that the robbers had
changed dress to confuse the police.

No business was transacted at the
annual meeting of the Third District
because of its illegality. Outside oi.
the commissioners. only four electors.
were present and alter Chairman‘
Snlflen ordered the call to be read by
the secretary, the meeting was ad-
journed.

‘An informal discussion followed the
meeting. After some talk among the
commissioners it was decided to hold

 

 

 

a special meeting on Friday. Sept. 29,
at which all business which was to.
come before last night's meeting willl
be transacted. They also spoke on‘
taking tip the matter of wiring tbei
Marvin School with the Board of Edu‘;
cation. If the Board tails to act upon'
their suggestion. they will pro‘Jibly
wire the uppe'r door at the expense of
the district in ordar'that meetings
ins be held in the school.

that the old ée‘ss-p'ool in fl'ont o the
school house had caved in. . it seems
that when the new lavatories were in-
stalled. the cess~pool was not filled
in. This matter will probably be filt-
eu care of by the Board of Education
before the opening oi school.

Health ~ Officer William. .1. Tracey
has been making an investigation into
the cases of typhoid lever in the
County Home, in Westporr avenue.
He is of the opinion that it comes
from the milk supply which has been
furnished the home. Last spring

 

 

there were ten cases of typhoid fever
in the city. and the cause was traced1
to the milk supply which was being;
furnished the home from \Vestport.i
The dealer at that time secured his?
milk from three diiferent sources. [it
appears that the same dealer has been‘
supplying the home again, and he se-y
cures the milk from a producer who
had trouble previously.

The supply of milk has been dis-
continued, and no further trouble is.

at the home were reported today as’
doing nicely.

NEW YORK. Sept. ll.—Betveral
trade unions voted today for the pur-
pose of determining their response to
the call for a sympathetic strike to
back up the striking street oar em-
ployee. By Monday labor leaders ex-
pect to learn the sentiment of the
longsboremen. teamsters,
boatmen. coal bargemen and station-
ary engineers and liremen. to whom.
the carmen have particularly address-
ed their appeal. By Monday, they as.

sert, 70,000 men will be called out “to
protect the very life of union labor in
New York." 1

The union leaders announce thati

the majority of the members of ma
chialsts' unions. having a membership
0 25.00% have voted to strike at
munition plants in this city.

Should the longsboremen. boatload;
and coal barge workers go out, the
strike leaders say virtually all work
along the waterfront will be tied up.

This movement is do by the
Central Federation Union as “prelim

inst-y. to a general strike." While it is '
tr.d9 ‘

estlniatsd there are 800.000
unionists in New York, it is said the
leaders do not count upon calling out!
more than i00.000 of them as an ex-
treme measure.

One man was killed and 34 persons

south Israeli Electrical Coin-is-
sioners Transact Important
Business

The downtown electrical commis-
sioners held another busy session last
evening, in the odioes of the plant in
State street, and‘carried out enough
business to lreep them busy up to mid-
night. .'

it was learned at last night's meet-
ing that the orders for the poles to be
used in the ornamental lighting
project, have been placed, and that
the commissioners have been promised
good shipments. Freight deliveries.
are at the present time ve‘ry undepend-
able howover, and it will probably. be
some time yet, before the poles finally
arrive in Norwallr. The freight deliv-
ery question, besides tying up the
plant on the matter of poles. hasheld
up work for which other materials
were needed. and has proved to be a
great drawback in the carrying out of
an enlcient program.

Much credit for the securing of

promls of immediate shipment of
the much-desired'poles. is due to Com-
missioner Brophey, .who has been into
the New York steel Market and gained
the aid of several of the big men in-
terested in this business. James J.
Farrell, the steel king who resides at
Hickory Bluff, has promised to help
the plant as much a! he can. and to
use all..thc influence in his power, to
hurry the delivery or the poles. ‘
* Owing to the fact that the business
haswgrown so enormously in the past
few mqpths. it was made clear during
last night's meeting. that unless the
presentment? can be increased in
”engined”, .Today. the plant is doing
the largest amount .of business that a
has overbeiore attuned“ .

A sentence of three months in the

declining health and evident feeble

punishment. -

Because it was shown that the com-
plaining witness against Otto Stankey
had really stolen the 860 in dispute,
the charge of theft against Stankey
was nolled yesterday.

John Pamelow, of 222 Peqnonnock
