Ambulances and Priests Hurry to Victims. EX-ALDERMAN GBORGE H. BATTIS, GEORGE HUBER, As He Appeared at Time of Sentence In 1904. Col William A. Gaston is out of the senatorial contest.

Last evening h- issued the following statement regarding his withdrawal: "On Nov 18 last, believing that It was possible for the incoming legislature of this state' to elect a member of the democratic party a senator of the United States, 1 addressed a letter to each of the democratic members-elect of the legislature of 1911, announcing my candidacy for that position. The answers indicated that a large majority of tne democrats-elect favored holding a party caucus on the senatorship matter, and that I would be the choice of that caucus, if held. "Since that time, owing to differences of opinion among members of the democratic party as to the wisdom of a party caucus to unite the democratic strength on a democratic candidate, and owing to the belijf of some of the prominent members of the party that the democrats should encourage the candidacy of some progressive republican, i have come to the conclusion that, under theso conditions, no democrat can be elected to that high office. "In order to simplify the situation and to cause no embarrassment to the governor-elect in his campaign against Mr Lodge, I take this opportunity to announce my withdrawal from the senatorial contest and to thank my friends who have so kindly given me their support. William A.

Gaston." Chances Spoiled by Foss. Col Gaston told Ms friends with whom, he talked over the senatorial situation yesterday that he had come to the conclusion that Gov-elect FosT had destroyed whatever chances the demo tor SUCCeSSr t0 tor Lodge by his "state-wide" cam paign advocating the election of 1" "progressive republican." It is known that Col Gaston and -the governor-elect had a long talk about the situation on Tuesday, when Mr Gaston plainly indicated that it was his intention to gtt out of the fight and let the governor-elect have a clear field and a free hand in his fight against Senator Lodge. The governor-elect denied yesterday any knowledge of Col Gaston's inten tion to withdraw in the presence of a man who has been verv rinso AFLOAT EAST OF BAHAMAS Wreck of Wellman's Airship Sighted "America" 200 Miles Off Island on Dec 9.

Wise, Famed as Marksman, Among Those Chosen. Son of Gen Bartlett One of Former Served Six Years in Prison, Ex-Alderman 18 Months. TOURS. France, Dec 21 For a few exciting moments the "Countess d'Aul-by de Gatigny" occupied the center of the stage in court today at the re-gumption of the trial of herself and her husband on the charge of having defrauded the late Charles Hamilton Paine of Boston in a sale of paintings said to be spurious. The suit is being prosecuted by Mr Paine's widow, who is now the Duchess de Choiseul Pras-Ua.

The "countess" literally broke up the French court, causing the dignified president, Robert, to suspend the session until order could be restored. The diversion came after a wearisome day, during which Daulby to give him his true name went over the old ground of the acquisition of faked old masters pursued by the searching questions of the judge until the defendant complained that he was too weak to continue. In order to relieve him Roger Miles was called to the witness stand as an art expert. He testified that the pictures Daulby sold to Mr Paine were valueless, being copies so poorly executed as to deceive no one with even a passing knowledge of art. "Countess" Takes Command, Then came the "Countess," wearing the blue velvet picture hat and sown of yesterday.

From the very first question Bhe Showed she was more than anxious to fight for the liberty of herself and her husband. She spoke French fluently, ber voice often quivering with scorn. "Did you know," the judge asked her, "of any relations existing between your husband and Mrs Paine?" The woman's eyes flashed like those of a real countess and she made a dramatic gesture as she shouted her answer: 'Never. If I had Known I would have chased that viper, that shameless woman who tried to break up my home out of the house. It is lafamous to suggest that I knew of it, I am American; I am very much American.

In America even the servants are moral. I am proud of being an American." "That is a Lie." The judge tried to calm her and Inquired: "Liid you know nothing about money arrangements your husband made witu the Paines for tne pictures?" "Never," she replied. "I detest money. 1 despise the luxury in which people like Mrs Paine, the new Duchess de Choiseul Praslin, live." Put a London photographer has made deposition that you ordered from him photographs of your husband's paiiuings, and that you had him send them to the Paines," the judge observed. Mrs Daulby fairly screamed: "That was a lie.

That photographer is a liar, ptid by Mrs Paine to say those things." Maitre Sturel. the duchess' lawyer, rose to asK a question. Mrs Daulby noticed it and declared: Continued on the Second Page. Two Christmas gifts of deliverance from terms of imprisonment were made vesterday, the governor's council British Steamer Reports Her at G-ulfport, Miss. and Gov Draper himself jointly playing the role of Santa Claus.

Is Willi Mates the Aides-de-Camp. PERSONAL STAFF OF THE NEXT GOVERNOR The recipients of clemency were: Ex-Alderman George H. Battis of East Boston, who was sentenced June 3, 1909, to serve a term of three years in the Deer island house of correction for larceny from the city of Boston. PHILADELPHIA, Dec 22 Probably 12 firemen lost their lives and more than a score of others were injured, some of them fatally, in a fire last night, which destroyed the five-story brick building of D. FriecQander, leather dealer, 1116 to 1120 North Bodine st.

The firemen were crushed under the south wall which fell upon them while they were fighting the fire from the roofs of adjoining buildings. At 2:45 this morning the north wall which had been threatening to fall upon the men who were buried in the debris of the south wall, collapsed, burying 15 policemen in the ruins. It is known that six were killed under this wall. The total number of dead is probably 20. Bis Miss ion GULFPORT, Miss, Dec 21 The crew of the British steamer Heros, which has arrived here, reports sighting the wreck of Walter Wellman's airship, 200 miles off the east coast of the Bahama islands shortly before sundown on Dec 9.

The "America" was at first believed to be be a whale, but nearer approach showed it to be a gas bag, about 200 feet long. Darkness prevented closer examination. MAYOR WANTS TO BAR POLITICS IN PARDONS Under Fierce Fire Aial sympathy because of the extenuating circumstances, and that of Battis attracting wldo attention because of his prominence in municipal politics Executive clemency was extended in both cases because of a belief that the ends of justice had been satisfied. The executive council as a whole acted favorably upon the reports of both cases submitted by the pardon committee and Gov Draper affixed his signature without hesitation. Huber has served more than eight years for his offence, six years of that time in state prison.

Battis, who was found guilty after two trials, had served more than 18 months of his sentence. The impaired health of Battis and his good conduct while in prison weighed heavily in his favor with the governor and council, and tney also took into consideration the fuct that the others implicated at the time in the so-called "Boston fraud cases" were at liberty, having served less time in prison for their offences than had Battis. Francis A Campbell, clerk of the superior civil court, counsel for Battis, personally worked hard for the ex-alderman, and his discharge is largely due to Mr Campbell's efforts. Mr Campbell was volunteer counsel in the case, and said last evening that he felt amply repaid for his efforts in being successful in bringing about Battis' restoration Ho his family for Christmas. TOMATO CATSUP SEIZED.

For Tlree Honrs. Gaston in the tetter's political campaigns in the past and who is still believed to be his representative in some political matters. "i know nothing about Col Gaston's withdrawal," declared the governor-elect when asked about it by the newspaper men. "if I knew anpthing about it, boys," he added, "I'd tell you. I never could keep a secret." Later, when asked if he cared to make any comment about Col Gaston's withdrawal, after the letter's formal announcement that he was out of the fight reached the newspaper offices, the governor-elect declined to say Alleged That 350 Cases on Freight Dock Were Improperly Labeled.

Three hundred and fifty cases of tomato catsup were seized under the federal pure food laws yesterday afternoon at the SoujJU Bostpn freight docks of the NH railroad. The goods are alleged to have been improperly labeled. TO BE ADJUTANT GENERAL. Capt Gardner W. Pearson of Lowell, Co f.

The pardoning powers of the state should be re-moved from the influence of politics, a condition which does not exist with the present system.

Turnbull again experienced a "third degree" ex amination while being cross-examined in the will congest to obtain for her daughter a share of $2,500,000 of the "Ducky" Baldwin estate. Previous to her testimony Atty Mc-Nab caused Mrs Turnbull to repeat former declarations that there had been a contract of marriage, but that no one but herself and Baldwin had ever seen it. Then he demanded to know whether she had ever been introduced by the turfman as his wife or whether she had been recognized by anyone as Mrs Baldwin. By a long series of questions Mr McNab drew from the witness the admission that Baldwin had referred to her as Mrs Baldwin before only five- perr- Reminded Him of Roosevelt. Col Gaston's friends have known for some time that he did not approve the kind of campaign that Mr Foss has been maktng against Senator Lodge.

Before Mr Foss began his Cape tour with his troupe of republican spell-bincers, the colonel had a long talk with the governor-elect and tried to induce him to cut out his n6w styl3 of campaigning, but Mr Foss infjrmed Col Gaston that he was old-fashioned in his political ideas, that the new nrrier of tilings was more to the liking Continued on the Second Page.

WASHINGTON, George Huber, who shot and killed his wife in Monterey, Berkshire county, in September, 1902, and was sentenced to life imprisonment in the state prison at Charlestown in January, 1904, after he had pleaded guilty to the charge of murder In the second degree. The cases excited unusual interest in the two sections of the state at the time, that of Huber arousing much of the people, and the way to beat Sen Comprising all new appointments, the personal military staff of Gov-elect Eugene-N. Foss was announced last evening.

The appointments consist of four aides-de-camp with rank of major and six aides-de-camp detailed from the line. Lieut Thomas L. Walsh of Clinton, Continned on Third Page. CLING TO ICY LADDERS, More than a score of firemen have been taken to hospitals, and it is estimated that at least two more are still in the ruins of the structure. Of those taken 'to hospitals, half a dozen have fractured skulls and are internally injured.

Their chances of recovery are slight. The blaze was first discovered about 10 o'clock and in less than half an hour the entire interior of the building was a seething furnace. Unable to fight the flames from the roof of the doomed structure the firemen climbed to the roofs of two small dwellings adjoining the building. It was here that the accident occurred. Scattered about on the three small structures at every vantage point were nearly twoscore of men, while clinging to their icy ladder ator Lodge was to go out among tne voters and discuss him and his votes in the senate.
