CAR. HITS CAB DRIVER HURT Attempts to Cross in Front of Trolley Motorman Unable to Avoid Collision An interurban Horseheads trolley hit a cab belonging to the Fred M. Jones livery at 1:30 o'clock this afternoon. The accident occurred In fron" of Undertaker Hughes' residence on Lake street, directly north of City Hall.

The driver of the cab received a badly wrenched shoulder, but it is thought no bones were broken. The driver's, name would not be disclosed at the livery. The cab was practically new and la almost a total wreck. The horses were also badly bruised in the mix-up. According to witnesses of the accident, the cab driver was going south on Lake street and was nthe wrong side.

He started across the car tracks apparently without looking to see whether a trolley was coming or not. Samuel E. Peterson, motorman of the car, ga-e a warning and applied his brakes, but the hack driver seemed to take his time in crossing the tracks. The car hit the rear right wheel a terrific blow and sent the vehicle across the street against a tree. The driver waa thrown benvllv tn th pavement, but apparently did not suffer more than a bad shaking up and a wrenched shoulder.

WALL STREET (Reported by Riley Bolton, Brokers. Kulctt Building.) 10:10 a. m. Union Pacific andr5tel were sold heavily the opening today. Union Pacific fell H4 to 16S.

a drop of 4 1-4 points from yesterday's high pric. Two lots of steel, aggregating fc.OuO shares were unloaded with little effect, the price declining only a mmall fraction. Aside rrom tne movement in union Pacific, fluctuations of the active stocks were unusually narrow, and the early trading revealed no definite trend. (Noon)- Aside from demonstrating the firmness of the market, the morning trading accomplished little. Speculative endeavor was hampered by the lack of fresh material on which to work.

Market factors which have shaped sentiment recently seemed to have spent their force for the time being and there was nothing in the way of news which could even be made the basis of a rumor. After the early losses had recovered business grew quiet with a ferrong undertone. Union Pacific made up all of its loss and Reading rose a point omove yesterday's close. Bonds were steady. (2 p.

The tone of the market was softer during the afternoon trading. After recovering from the noon hour dip the list again sold off. Pressure was most pronounced against Union Pacific and Reading, which fell back close to today's low figure.

Fuller then said on the day after ho waa subpoenaed -to appear before the Frawley committee, the Governor sent for him and that he saw him at the executive mansion in Albany. "What was the conversation?" "It took place in the Governor's library after, dinner.

I told him I had been subpoenaed before the Frawley committee and that I felt that any client of our office was entitled to all the protection the law could give him. I added that. I would have a consultation with my attorney and if he advised me not to testify or appear with my books I would not do "The Governor said," he continued, "that Mr. Marshal was expected to meet me there, but Mr. Marshal was not there.

The Governor said Marshal's opinion was that they could not force me to produce my books, and that the committee was not legally' organized. I said I'd rely on my own attorney. Then the Governor said to me: 'Did you know those securities I deposited with you were Mrs. Sulzer's? She had a loan with the Carnegie Trust Company which was very annoying, and that's why I borrowed the money from I said that nothing like that could be shown on my books, and if he wanted to prove that the books of the Carnegie Trust Company would show it."

Warrants are sought for Francis Twoomey and Michael Sullivan, the two boys who were In the woods with rifles Sunday when George Abrahams was shot through the leg.

Mike Habee, an emplye of the Erie, who was a member of the party of walkers, and Curtis June of 720 West Third street who was on the hill at the time with- another man, appeared before Justice Moss in the town of Elmira this morning, ready, to give information for a warrant. Justice Moss will go with them to the office of District Attorney Bogart this afternoon. PosBlbly the complaint will be made by George Abrahams, the injured who is now at the St. Joseph hospital, doing nicely. A Star-Gaxette reporter talked with Mike Habee this morning and he states that the boys flred nine times after Abrahams had been shot.

June states that there was considerable shooting and that there was no brush of sufficient amount' to obstruct the view and that he saw no target. It was June who warned the boys and he with Peter Wenzel, a deputy sheriff, took the rifles away from the boys and identified them. The positive story of Habee is that Abrahams was carrying his coat over his shoulder and heard a shot and a bullet whizzed past his head. He turned toward the boys to warn them and held up his hands, saying, in broken English, "Be caTeful, you will shoot some one. I will have you arrested." At that moment the bullet passed through his leg.

Habee asserts that the boys fired nine times after that. When June caught up to the boys and told them they had shot a man they said they had not shot in that direction. It was Btated at the sheriff's office this afternoon that the Twoomey boy has not been seen by the officials since Deputy Knapp saw him yesterday morning on his way to work. The deputy had no warrant at that time. The Twoomey boy did not go to woTk, however, and could not be found yes-tefday.

The Sullivan boy has been at his home. ACCIDENT VICTIM RECOVERING NICELY Thomas Butcher, who was injured recently by colliding with an automobile while riding a motorcycle at the "horseshoe bend" near Mosherville, is improving rapidly according to his physician. Dr. Treat, of Pine City. Mr.

District Attorney Whitman of New York and District Attorney Conger of Dutchess county have written to acting Governor Glynn suggesting that the efforts, to return Harry Thaw to this state from New Hampshire' be placed solely in charge of the Attorney General. At present District Attorney Conger is in charge and is being assisted by representatives of the attorney general's office. District Attorney Conger was expected to confer with the Acting Governor late today. Pending the outcome of that conference Governor Glynn took no action. It was stated at the Attorney Gen eral's office that if the case were turned over to Attorney General Car-piody he would endeavor to obtain the indictment of Thaw by a New York county grand jury on a charge of conspiracy, or on other charges involved in his, escape from the Matteawan state hospital for the criminal insane.

Rumor here says that the Dutchess county grand jury voted to indict Thaw on a conspiracy charge and later voted to rescind the action. William Travers Jerome, who has been associated with the attorney general's assistants in endeavoring to return Thaw to the jurisdiction of this state, was in conference with Attorney General Carmody today. NEW LABOR LAWS GO INTO EFFECT Drastic Provisions Are Made Covering Factories and Employes Little Move Toward Enforcement. New and drastic amendments to the labor laws will go into effect tomorrow, October 1, but the state department has done little or nothing to enforce them, according to information available in this. city.

There are between 45,000 and 47,000 factories in the state that come under the application of the new statutes and there is a demand by many officials and manufacturers of some clear btate-ment by the state authorities regarding the new duties. One of the most important of the new laws relates to precautions ae-ainst fire, and was largely theout- growth of the Triangle Waist Company fire in New York city in March, 1911. Among its requirements are that thero shall be sufiicient fire escapes from all existing points, and that all new plants shall be fire proof. Plants of two stories must be provided on each floor with two means of escape and these must comply with definite requirements. One of the exits must lead to a fire proof stairway, which in buildings of four or more stories must be enclosed in fire proof materials.

No point in the floor of a factory shall be more than 100 feet from an 'exit. If five or more people are employed on one floor the exit doors must swing or open outwardly. All fire escapes must be of wrought iron, complying with requirements as to material and construction. Stairways must be 44 inches wide, not cars or wires over windows and glass is required in windows opening to elevators or fire escapes. Plans for new factories must be approved by the state department of labor.

Certain provisions as to changing existing buildings will go into effect February 1. Another law prevents the employ ment of children under sixteen years of age at dangerous machines ana in the manufacture pf dangerous article. Their employment under conditions injurious to the health is restricted as is the employment of women in core rooms of foundries. ti, law requiring fire drills In fac tories and mercantile establishments where 25 or more persons are empioyea above the ground is amended to require drills every month. nthr new laws going into effect Oc tober 1 make new regulations in the following subjects: The protection of employes and operatives from dust and gases, and the nrtiinr of factories.

The manufacture of articles in tenement houses. The cleanliness of work rooms in factories. The manufacture of matresses from old materials and the marking of such articles when made from such materials. The hours of employment of women in mercantile establishments. The education of children receiving working certificates; they must have completed six years of school instead of having, attended one full year before they apply for a certificate after reaching the required age.

The construction of foundries so there will be rooms for drying clothing, lighting and provisions for the care of persons burned. Foundries must be constructed to stop drafts of air in work rooms. The physical examination of children employed in factories because of physical unfitness. The provision of sanitation and safe condition of factories as to health requirements. The provision of seats and rest rooms for female employes.

The ventilation df factories, the removal of impurities and prevention of excessive heat. The employment of persons of not more than six days In seven. Beware, Bonnie Br'er rabbit, chirping gray and red'squirrel and whirring partridges, for the bold, bad hunter will get you if you don't. Tomorrow marks the opening of the fall hunting season and there Is one man in Elmlra who has had that fact impressed upon him more forcibly per haps than any other, and that is City Clerk Gardner, Almost a steady stream of applicants have been besieging the' city clerk's office and flowing through the corridors at the city hall, and all with one-thought uppermost in their minds. That the necessary hunting license.

Mr. Gardner has already issued more than 150 an extraordinary number for this time of the year, even before the season has opened. He says the number if license! so far is more than double that of former years. There is a good reason for the land oflioe business in hunting however. The season has been especially good for game, which is declared to be unusually plentiful in all species.

Motorists will vouch for the apparent superfluity of the cottontail rabbits this year.
