SHOOTING STILL UNSOLVED
Betrothed Couple Stick to Story

under a police fruard at Gouverneur Hos
pital. The detectives assigned to the case
have beer, unable to get any description
of the robbers who. both patients say. did

were be excited at the time that they
didn't take special notice of things. Both
young persons, according to the hospital
surgeons, were shot at close range, judg

Harry Brocie. a painter, who was work

where the shooting took place, said that
the first warning he had that anything
■was the matter was when almost over his
head a pane of glass was broken and fell
in fragments to the ground. He said that

into the house and up the stairs, where
he found the man md the girl in the front

the roof and asked two boys whom he saw

They said they -.---- It seems highly

There still remains to substantiate the
story told at the hospital by the man and

MR. METZ GIVES $10,000
Encourages Accounting Reform
in American Cities.
A pamphlet issued by the New York Bu
reau of Municipal Research announced yes
terday that former Controller Herman A.
Metz had derided to establish a fund of
$10,000 a year ----- years "to make
available to American cities the ......
ciples and practice worked out in municipal
accounting and reporting." The fund is to
be administered by the directors of the
Bureau of Municipal Research. Controll-r
Prendergasi is assured the heartiest co
operation of New York City's Department
of Finance.
Before telling the bureau of his decision
Mr. Metz wrote to a number of city con
trollers asking for their advice as to mak
ing the fund of greatest service, among
them etng Alonzo Tweedale. president of
the American Society of Controllers and
Auditor of District of Columbia.
In a letter sent to Mr. Twe^lale Mr.
Metz said that during his stay In Germany
he had bee.n impressed by the uniformity
of accounting methods used there, com
pared to cost of administration and main
tenance used in this country. Mr. Metz
added that even under our various systems
of administration of municipal affairs all
o-jr cities w*»re dependent upon their ability
to float their bond and apparently in ever
1 increasing amounts. It would seen only
natural, he said, that bond buyers should
have a means of ascertaining what finan
cial and accounting method? were in force
In the respective cities and be able to make
comparisons as to credit ability, based on
something than a general legal pro- '■
vision as to borrowing capacity.
According to the pamphlet. Mr. Metz ex
pects to be back in this country the •-- -
part of this month, and he Is arranging to
! have responses to letters sent by him to a
number of controllers forwarded to him. so
that he may be able to know how they j
regard the plan.

hundred Greeks yesterday, who gathered to

government, which will turn over 2TC
churchrs and as many schools, the property

before the liberal Amerii an people, asram«t
the way in which th<» Ottoman government

START PLANT THIS WEEK
Qualey Says This Will Vindicate
Him and Save Stockholders.
MORE MONEY IS COMING IN
Mrs. Hopkins in Newark — Mrs.
Bull May Be Examined To
day by the Defence.
John A Qualey and Harvey W. Corbett
expect their vindication to the public before
the end of this week in the starting up in
all departments of the plant in Newark of
the Magnesia-Asbestos* Company, in which
Mrs. William T. Pull invested S3 ■■•
"If I go up on this charge," he said yes
terday, "no one will care anything about
the years of struggle I have put in on this
plant. It will just be another man gone
wrong. But if I can start the plant up I
will be vindicated. And I have got to start
it up. too. to save the stockholders. If I
am sent away the company is a failure
right the— I have pot to start It now to
save the stockholders.
"They attached our bank account when
trey began this action and crippled us
some, but they did not put us out of busi
ness. We have spent $10.O» in the last
week, and the plant will be at work in all
departments before the end of this week.
Within the last three or four days some
of our stockholders have subscribed £*.<>'«
toward getting the plant running, and I
have a promise of $io/«v. more within the
next three day?. And it all comes from
men— not a penny from women."
Working Night and Day.
Qualey was busy all yesterday scourin?
Newark for men to put to work completing
the plant. He said he expected to have a
hundred men at work to-day in two shifts,
and the work wouh! continue night and day
until the plant was ready to run Qualey
and Mrs. Hopkins and Mi?* Pond went out
to the plant at about 5 o'clock j'esterday
afternoon and planned out the work to be
irin to-day. Corbett was not able to go
■with them. Mrs Corbett broke down yes
terday from the nervous strain, and Mr.
Corbett put in most of the day at her
bedside.
"I ought to be at the plant every — .
ate now." said Qualey yesterday, "but. of
course, I will have to be in court for the
-■--_■ - _ to-morrow. Mrs. Hopkins will not
go to court, but she will be near by. ready
to go on th» witness stand if we want her.
"All of the time that I can I am goinsr
to put in over here at the plant. We
will start the fires under one of th^ plaster
furnaces by Wednesday, and the other one
a day or two later. The most important
piece of work remaining i? to connect a big
pipe line, and we will have the magne?ia
department running this week. . "We have
one carload of machinery on the siding
near the works and another reached New
ark to-day. There is one more carload on
the road, and that winds up the machinery
we have to have."
Agrees with Mrs. Hopkins.
Qualey gave his version of hi? meeting
with Mrs. Bull in the same terms that Mrs
Hopkins had described it on Saturday.
"She telephoned me." »he said, "and in-
Fisted that I should me to see her. She
was dissatisfied with George W. Young ■-
an executor of her husband's estate, and
she was • ing to get som<= man to take hi?

HORSE BLOCKS TROLLEY CARS
Wrecking Crew Needed to Take Big
Animal Safely Out of Manhole.
One large gray horse conquered th* forces
of electricity y^«tr>rday and stopped street
cars at the Brooklyn end of the Willlami
burg Bridge for an hour and a half. While
the hor«=e •rvas bein? led through Soul
4th street h* stepped on th* cover of a
manhole^ which slid astd*. and the horse's
hind less went into the hole. Several men
tried to pull him out. but he stuck fast. A
long line of cars stoM motionless, and th«»
motormen and conductors gathered about
th* horse and offered advice.
The horse gr«=w tired, and the people more
so. Finally the reserves from the Bedford
avenue station arrived, pushed the curious
crowd bark and gave the wrecking crew
of the street railway a chance to us- ■
block and ... to lift the animal. This
method was successful only after the horse
stumbled a second time into the rnanhn|».
Then the trolley cars resumed running and
fully three thousand persons dispersed. The
horse was not seriously hurt.

SHOES AS ARMY PROBLEM
But for Them 1909 Manoeuvres
Might Have Ended Differently.
GEN. WOOD MAKES REPORT
High Fraise for New York City
Militia by Chief of Staff —
Lack of Food Denied.
Major General Leonard Wood, chief of
staff of the army, has just made public
his report on the joint army and militia
manoeuvres held in Massachusetts in
August. 1909, and for the first time it has
been officially declared that the Red army
succeeded in capturing Boston. Th<> re
port embodies observations and recom
mendations of the regular army and militia
officers who were assigned to the exer
cises, and the principal trouble seems to
have been with shoes.
In both armies the problem of properly
fitting militia troops with shoes seems to
have had a gr^at effect on the tactical re
sult. sor*> feet and straggling due to that
cause am mentioned by nearly every offi
cer who attended the mimic war.
The complaints of the enlisted men of
the militia commands that th»r« was a
lack of food are denied by the regular army
officers, who attribute the shortage to the
inability of militia commissaries and
cook? to use properly the rations supplied.
Transportation by automobile? is strong
iv commended, and the hiring of con
tractors' teams for the hauling of food
and forasr 0 is unanimously condemned AH
of the officers present, however, seem to
think that the exerciser were of the great
est benefit to both the army and the na
tional guard.
