Raited Her Umbrella at Oncoming Sub way Train Told by re. Commander. Mrs. Lydia K. Commander, who standi at the head and front of the suffragette movement in this city, sent for reporters last night to gj to her house, at 274 West HOth Btrcet, to take note of an incident Illustrating the fact that It is the women, not the men, who rise to the occasion in moments of danger.

Mrs. Commander fears that reporters do not usually concede this Tact. Here Is her own story In her own words: It was this way: I went down to visit my sister. Edith Breithup of 112 West 115th Street. Shortly after 2 o'clock we left her home to come to mine, going down into the 116th Street Subway station in Lenox Avenue.

The station was crowded with men. Few women were there. I doubt if my sister and I weren't the only women In the station. I was standing, young men, near the ticket chopper, when a large, stout man came lurching through the entrance by the ticket man. I could smell what was the matter with him.

He lurched over to the edge of the platform and fell over on the track. was petrified with horror for a moment only. I turned to the station attaches, crying out, 'Get a red For I had run to the edge of the platform and had seen the red lights of art approaching train. I screamed at the men on the platform, Rescue the fallen man. "What did these men do! They did nothing.

They were horrified, petrified, ready to scream, perhaps, if they didn't do It. I rushed to the end of the platform nearest to the oncoming train, raising my umbrella and shaking it at the motorman, though I know It la unlucky to open aa umbrella under a root. "Meanwhile my sister had not been. Idle please get the name right Edith Breithup. She had Jumped down upori the track.

She had prodded the man with1 her umbrella. He weighed about 230 pounds. He mumbled something," but did not move. Realizing the grave danger, my sister helped the man to his knees and then to. the platform.

She herself Jumped upon the concrete floor, in the nick of time. The train came In. The man was saved. We went on about our business. Now, seo here, young men, I want yOu to understand that this rescue should not be written in the usual, fashion.

I nienn that the women screamed and the nia ran to the In this case the mn were petrified, and the women did the reeulng." Which accordingly Is done. 1. MR. AND MRS. AFT TO SPEAK.

JURY EXPLAINS VERDICT Satisfied Body In Ruing Waa Wldow'a, but Decided Case on a Different Proposition Sentenced to Prison. LAPpRTE, Nov. 06. Roy Lam-phere, charged with arson and the murder of Mrs. Belle Gunnesa and her three children by setting fire to the Gunness house on April 28, was this evening found guilty of arson by the Jury which had the case under consideration for twenty- four hours.

Within five minutes after the verdict was reported. Judge Rlchter sentenced the defendant to the State penitentiary at Michigan City for an inde terminate term, from two to twenty-one years. He will be taken to Michigan City to-morrow to begin his sentence. Word that an agreement had been reached was conveyed to Bailiff Mata at dusk, and he telephoned Judge Rlchter and the attorneys in the case. The lights the big courtroom were turned on, and within fifteen minutes the court was packed.

Lamphere was brought over from the Jail and the Jury filed Into the courtroom. Foreman Henry Mill announced that the Jury had agreed, and he passed a white piece of paper to Judge Rlchter. after making the entry on his docket, read the verdict: We, the Jury, find the defendant guilty of arson and that he is 88 years old." Attorney Worden, for the defense, tonight said that a motion for a new trial would be made. and. should it be refused, an appeal to the Indiana.

Supreme Court would follow. Mr. Worden declared the verdict to be ridiculous. If he was guilty at said the attorney, "he was guilty of murder. He should have been acquitted." The motion for a new trial will be based on the court's Instruction telling the Jurors that they could find Lamphere guilty of arson under the indictment.

Lamphere. in a statement to-night, said he was confident that the dead body In the fire was that of Mrs. Gunness. although his counsel had tried to prove otherwise. He reiterated his innocence of setting fire to the house, though adrnlttlng that be was on the road and saw the fire that night.

He also declared that he did not see Mrs, Gunness kill An drew' Helgelcln. I have no complaint to make about the verdict." said Lamphere. "Things looked pretty blue, but the verdict might have been worse." To-night all the members of the Jury made the following signed statement: We, the umleraiirned Jurors, empaneled and sworn In th case of the State of Indiana versus Ray Lamphere. hereby say that It was our Judgment In the cnntdra-tion of this caae that th adult body fonnd In th ruir of the fire was that of Hell Gunness. and that th case was decided by us on an entirely different proposition.

But for Jurors Nelson and Travis, the Jury would have sentenced Lamphere to life imprisonment, and after the verdict had been returned one of the Jurors said that they would have found Lamphere guilty of manslaughter had they remembered that the sentence for that could be made the same as for arson. The Indiana law stipulates that all ris-oners, excepting those found guilty of murder, shall go to the State Reformatory If they are under 80 years of age. This explains the last clause of the Jury's verdict, and amounts to a prison sentence. The Gunness farmhouse was burned to the ground at 3 o'clock on the morning of April 28 last. The following day.

after the ruins had been partly cleared, the bodies of Mrs. Gunness and her three children were found in the basement, burned beyond recognition. Ray Lamphere, a discharged farmhand. whom Mrs. Gunness had prosecuted on Charres of insanity, was arrested soon after the fire on the suspicion that he set fire to the house.

Lamphere had threatened that he would get even with his 'former Until the discovery of freshly dug spots In the yard of the farmhouse was called to the attention of the authorities, no suspicion of tbe secrets of the widow's yard existed. When excavations were be- frun. however, the bodies of ten persons, ncludlng two women, were dug up in what proved to be a private graveyard. It waa tnen Oisciosea tnu airs, uunness had been conducting: a private matri monial agency as a trap for luring her victims to her lair. The history of the woman's past life waa revealed.

It was discovered that she was twice married, her first husband having riled under mysterious circumstances soon after their marriage.

Special Cab! to THB NEW TORat TrWCS. LONDON, Nov. 2a The fact that Wall Street was closed had as much to do with to-day's depression on the Stock Exchanges as the alarmist reports on Continental Bourses. The panicky conditions on the Vienna Bourse were considered important only in so far as they were reflected In Paris. Telegraphing to-day from Vienna, the correspondent of The London Times says the depression on the stock markets faithfully reflects the public estimation of the chances that the present crisis will pass off without a disturbance of peace.

The chief causes of uneasiness are the belief that danger of an alliance between Turkey, Servla, and Montenegro Is by no means chimerical and doubt aa to whether the Austro-Russian negotiations are proceeding; satisfactorily. The foreign public should be careful not to exaggerate the Importance of the impressions of the Austro-Hun-garian public, which Is little accustomed to consider political Issues on their merits. Emperor Francis Joseph Is undoubtedly exercising all his great Influence in favor of peace, and Foreign Minister Baron von Aehrenthal is Understood to believe that, should a conflict unfortunately occur with Servla and Montenegro, could be localized. PASTOR STOPS CHURCH SHOW. Moving Pictures of Girls In Tights a Bit Beyond the Pale.

Because the Rev. C. L. Goodell, pastor of the Calvary 'Methodist Episcopal Church at 12th Street and Seventh Avenue, thought that some of the pictures were unsuitable and might do harm to the assembled audience the Church's moving picture Ehow was abruptly broken up last night. Pastor Goodell and Sunday School Superintendent Charles Kensen had to call in the police because the audience refused to be dismissed without getting -its money back.

The church has the reputation of having the largest congregation of any church in the city, and Us Thanksgiving moving picture show has been advertised widely for weeks. As a result 1.800 aduTts and children paid 23 and 10 cents, respectively. for admission last evening. They filled the pews to overflowing and settled back while the moving picture man got throw the pictures on the screen The first three pictures shown were innocuous. The fourth, however, repre sented "The Burning of Rome," and the audience gave a surprised gasp of Interest wbea they saw that JI tbe young maidens In the picture were clad in flesh-colored tights." Unconscious of the sensation the scene was causing, the movlng-plcture man continued to flash on the screen the Roman maidens' successive changes of post re.

Before he had gone much further, how ever. Dr. Goodell rose and stated that the picture was out of keeping with the oc casion. The moving picture man accord ingly began showing scenes representing a woman being held ip by highwaymen. Something about the woman's gestures and draperies failed to please Dr.

Goodell who held a hurried consultation with Sunday School Supt. Kenson, and the latter turned on the lights and announced that the show was at an end. But the audience refused to leave- their seats, and two. policemen were sent for from the West 125th Street Station. The audience grumbled and demanded its money back.

There were cries that noth ing was wrong with the pictures. Dr. Goodell announced that another show would be given soon, but that he would blue pencil the pictures, and that all last night's audience would be admitted free. Herded out by the two policemen the crowd then reluctantly left. ROOSEVELT TO VER WIEBE.

Ol- TROOPS OPEN FIRE ON KEASBEY RIOTERS Jersey Guardsmen Meet a Night Rush of Strikers with 1 1 a Volley SOME OF THEM WOUNDED Priests Appeal In Vain to the 1,500 Men to Stop Violence and Return to Work. Spicial to Tht Srw York Timti. PERTH AMBOT. N. Nov.

26. Just before midnight to-night a squad of about 40 of the 1.500 men employed by the. Nat ional Fire proofing Company at and near Keasbey who are now out on strike, made a sudden rush te break into the stockade. The rush was met by a volley from tha troops on guard. About 200 shots were fired.

1 It Is believed that the retiring strikers carried awsy three or four of their number wounded. Shortly after, dinner most of the men belonging to the four companies of mili tia on duty retired to the factory, leaving a strong guard to patrol the outside of the stockade that has been built around the works The factory is situated in the depression made by the diggers after clay, aind around it is a circle of high ground made by accumulations of dirt. The stockad fence is built on this high ground. Shortly before midnight the guards on picket duty saw a squad of men approach ing, and before they could call for rein forcements there was a rush. The strikers hurled stones at the guardsmen and fled in wild disorder as tbe soldiers opened fire on them.

The members of the four companies asleep in the factory, awakened by the firing, came swarming out of the stockade gate and over the fence. They lined up with the guards, and when presently another hall of stones and bricks tell the entire force of men opened fire on their The guard around tbe outside of the fence was doubled, and the rest of the militiamen went back to sleep. More trouble Is expected during the early morning hours. Gov. Fort sent hla Adjutant General, R.

liter BrtentnaiU and Gen. Denis Collins to the scene to-day to try to bring about a setUement of the trouble. These with all of the minor military officials and Sheriff Quackenbos got together in room In the Pckard House with two priests. Father Julian Zlellnskl, Pastor of the Polish Catholic Church of St. Stephen's, and Father Francis Gross, Pss-tor of the Hungarian Church of Our Lady of Hungary, both of Perth Amboy.

Peace at Ose Plant. Just before the arrival of the priests, who had been sent for in the automobiles of the citizen soldiery, came the cheering news that the trouble had been settled at the Great Eastern Clay Works, where the strike started on Monday. The men had demanded that their, wages be increased from 00, cents and fl.08 to fl.50 for ten hours' work. The Great Eastern Company, which has its works on South River, near Keasbey, agreed to take all of their six hundred men back at a wage of $1.30 for ten hours" work. The men in control of the Keasbey plants thought thkt their own men should be willing to return to work at the offered rate of $1.33 a day when one strike had been settled for $1.80 a day.

Bishop James A. McFaul of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Trentbn, who happened to be in Perth Ambojy blessing an Italian church to-day, told the two priests to go to the conference. But when they reached the conference, which had started out to save the day for the turkey, they offered a surprise to Henry M. Keasbey. Vice President and General Manager of the National Company.

Our countrymen." they said. were assured. Irightfully yr wrongfully, that when Taft was elected they would receive better wages. They were cut down during the times of the panic, and this promise was made to them. After Taft was elected they ran up bills at the stores because they thought they were going to get more money.

They say that they are working overtime and that th company can afford to raise their wages to the old rate ot $1.60 a day." Mr. Keasbey and his brother. R. P-Keasbey. got W.

D. Henry of Pittsburg, President of tbe company, on the longdistance telephone. -and were told that wages could not be raised. Arguments were brought to bear on the priests In an effort to convince them that the company really could not afrord to pay a higher rate of wage until times were better. In the end the priests were won over.

They agreed to go to Keasbey, to the homes of the strikers and gather the Hungarians and Poles together in Esberg Hall, where they hold their dances. There the priests and the officers of the company would talk to them. Priests Appeal Strikers. The priests sped back in the military automobiles to the dingy little town the shadows of the big fireproofing plants on the Raritan River. Late afternoon found the strikers gathered about the steps leading to the entrance of the closed saloon.

Tnen Henry M. Keasbey. Dr. W. E.

Ramsey, the two priests, and a committee of ths business men of Perth Amboy and Keasbey, wtio wanted everything over In time for a late Thanksgiving dinner, went to the place of meeting. Mr. Keasbey spoke to the Hungarians and Poles, telling them that the works had been closed down in the Summer because business was bad; that he had proposed to them that they reopen in the Fall at a reduction of 15 per cent, and that he had taken orders for big buildings uch as that on the site of the Fifth Avenue Hotel, tn New York, at reduced rates in order te start up business. He assured the men that as soon as times warranted It the company would restore the old scale. if you do not return to work." he gaid.

Inspector Jarvls of Scotland Yard has been here for, three weeks to unravel one of the most mysterious murders committed In England for years, and the fact that he Is traveling without salary and solely in anticipation of receiving the reward of 1.000 for apprehension of murderer is sufficient evidence that he has very good grounds for believing jthis murderer Is now In Manitoba.
