In front he turned, and as Yung Sue threw up his hands toward his face the assailant fired a shot.

Yung Sue fell and the other fired two shots into his body. The street was in an uprorar. The assailant turned and fled back, almost in the path Yung Sue had used In coming from the shop. Almost in front of it Sabato Serrapere, an Italian real estate operator with offices at 51 Mott street, stretched out strong arms. The Chinese was en veloped, struggling, in them.

Sept. 18 (A. John Howard Jewett, 82, veteran of the Civil War and author of Bunny Stories" and many other chil dren stories popular a generation ago, died here late today. In 1902 the United Mine Workers declared that part of its objects and principles were: "To use all honorable mean to maintain peace between ourselves and our employers; adjusting all differences, so far as possible, by arbitration and conciliation, that strikes may become unnecessary." John Mitchell, the great leader of the Mine Workers, declared "We repeat our proposition to arbitrate all questions in dispute; and if our demands cannot be sustained by facta and figures, we will return to the mines and await the day 'when we shall have a more righteous cause. The "Federationist of the American Federation of Labor, said "We have pointed out thai labor is invariably willing to submit its demands to impartial Since these declarations were made years ago, arbitration has become more and more the accepted and established method of settling industrial disputes, But now the present leader of the Mine Workers says: "We really do not care to arbitrate.

Thanks for the offer. We know that you think the medicine would be good for us, but frankly, we have little faith in your diagnosis." Nevertheless, arbitration is the only way out of the present difficulty. It is not a diagnosis or cure invented by the operators; in fact, they opposed it in years past Arbitration is the method of settling disputes that men have tried and found good. The demand for arbitration now deserves the support of every one who" has the welfare of the miners and; of this community at heart To date the mine workers have lost more than $20,000,000 in wages.

Coach Handley added that he thought the rough water had spoiled the girl's attempt, but that indications were that Wolfe had taken her from the water too soon. Miss Ederle was in. the water eight hours and forty six minutes, covering between fourteen and fifteen miles of the distance of twenty one miles. Miss Viets denied that Miss Ederle was seasick, stomach sick or had collapsed when taken out of the water.

She also denied stories that Miss Ederle had eaten beef stew or apple fritters before making the swim.

SEEK BALANCE OF $100,000 FUND Resume Hearings in Ouster Proceedings Against Coal Township School Board PUXBURY, Sept. 18 (A.

Search for the balance of a fund of $100,000 set aside by the township school board for use tcward the erection of a new township high school, the total cost of what was estimated at $500,000, was taken up today when hearings in the ouster proceedings against the township school board were resumed here. Former Judge C. R. Savidge. of East Lewlsburg, is presiding as special commissioner in the hearings.

That $2.1,000 was paid an architect for plans for the proposed new building, although the board had not pro cured a site for the structure, and Also that nearly $3,000 was paid an engineer for driving a few stakes on proposed building site, was brought out in today's testimony. Much time was spent in searching the minute books of the board in anJ effort to find a resolution disposing of the missing $100,000, but nothing had been found on the records when court adjourned. Counsel for the taxpayers then at tempted to learn what had become of the remaining $74,000 from the 1100, 000 allotment. Bowers declared that resolution had been adopted divert ing the money to the general fund of the district to pay off loans floated by the board.

IS (A.P.) The controversy between the 'States of Pennsylvania and New Jersey on the question of collecting tolls on the Delaware River bridge between this city and Camden, N. now partly completed, was no nearer settlement as the result of today's meeting of tha Delaware River Joint bridge com mission than it has been since the tolls question cams to the fors sev eral weeks ago. Nothing was accomplished at to day's meeting, which was attended by Governor Plnchot, of Pennsylvania, and Governor Silrer, of New Jersey. Ten minutes after the meeting was called to order It adjourned for two weeks on the1 motion of Theodore Boettger, head of the New Jersey delegation and a stern opponent to the free bridge plan. Adjournment was made with the Idea of having the chief executives of the two states get together and if possible find a way out of the present muddle.

"We are unalterably committed to tolls on this Governor Silzer said after the meeting, "but perhaps the Pennsylvania Commission or the counsel can find something In the Fensylvanla stautes that will help matters." When told of the suggestion of Samuel Vauclaln, member of the Pennsylvania Commission, that regardless of the tolls issue the cables be wound and the bridge painted to preven deterioration, Governor Silzer replied; "If we are not going to have any bridge, what's the use of doing any painting?" In his letter to the Commission, Mr. Vauclaln declared the bridge "was too big to be kicked around In a game of politics." "Award the contracts complete the bridge'' he wnbte "and then If the great and sovereign States of Pennsylvania and New Jersey cannot agree upon a policy let the Supreme Court of the United States adjudicate, the question." IS LAND BOOM IN FLORIDA TO BURST? (Continued from Page One.) quick transactions, who expects to make a killing In a month or so, then go home to brag about it, who has little thought of becoming a settler In the State, a home builder, a useful citizen and a permanent asset. But the money mad crowd pushes hopefully on. And as each train load moves South another train load arrives from the North. There is no way of knowing how many there are in these train loads or In the motor caravans headed this way.

The State government keeps n5 record of arrivals, nor does the Chamber of Commerce of the munlct palitles. The railroads, know, of course, how many passengers they haul, but the lines centering here compile only their individual figures. The Florida East Coast Railroad handled 3,089 passengers in a single day about a week ego more by nearly 1,000 than ever handled in one day during a Winter tourist season. Nor Is there any sure way of figur Ing on the number of people coming to Florida from a single city or State, rrom scranton or Washington, or Pennsylvania or Connecticut. The railroads have a general Idea of the ppople they bring from a given section by the movement by rail Is paralleled by as great or a greater movement by motor.

This mfich Is known, however. Cities. sections and whole States to the North and to the West of Florida are tilled with alarm over the migration of men and women and even children to this "magic" land. They are equally alarmed over the sales of property at home sacrifice of property In many cases and the withdrawal of money for Investment here. Other lections Alarmed.

Let a few evidences of this alarm be cited: The mayor of Indianapolis has Just staged an ambitious business demon stration in the Indiana capital, with the avowed purpose of discouraging further removal of Hoostera and their money to Florida. The banks of Columbus. Ohio, have united in an extensive advertising campaign, pleading with their people to stay at home, to leave their. money mere ana to believe there Is more solid prosperity In Columbus than In jfjorma. Newspapers of New Haven.

Stampede Continues Approximately 25 telephone contracts are being cancelled in Baltimore and as many more in Washington each week by people' of those cities, moving to Florida, according to telephone officials. I These are a few of the facts about the Florida migration, a migration which is giving business interests far and wide profound concern. Nor does there seem to be any way of Stopping it.

In many quarters it was believed that the stampede would subside with the passing of last Winter and that a heavy slump or a sort of dull thud, so to speak, would mark the 1925 Summer season. Nothing of the kind happened. The railroads running to Florida were unable to withdraw a single Winter train. Instead they have lengthened all of them and are putting on new ones as rapidly as they can get the equipment. Extra sleepers have beep put on from Kansas City, from Denver and from Chicago as well as from Washington, New York and the East.

All this, let It be remembered, has been found necessary during the season. It never happoned this way before. For the paBt two years there has been a considerable Florida traffic, but all the records were broken this year and not only the capacity of the railroads, but that of the steamship lines to Florida ports also has been taxed to a point where bookings must be made weeks ahead. The highways are wide open, how ever. And they have been used more this season than ever before, particu larly by the people of small means.

These are the prospectors after all, who are most cordially welcomed 'to Florida, omitting of course the mil lionaires themselves. The man of modest purse is more apt to stay awhile and contribute something to the sum total of the State's wealth and population. 1 350,000 Za Tear Government officials In Washington estimate that 350,000 people have come to Florida during the past twelve months, leaving out the purely Winter tourists. Authorities here regard that as an exceedingly low estimate, They argue that tha number Is much nearer 500,000. From what can be observed with the naked eye, it would seem that both estimates are low.

On the train which the writer Into Jacksonville there were no less than 200 passengers bound for Flor ida. There were nine Pullmans in the train, to. say nothing of the day coaches. There were two similar trains Immediately ahead and two more behind all on one line. And there are tlx trunk lines radiating to the East, North and West from Jacksonville.

All of these people do not stay in Florida by any means. If they did the people soon would be crowded to the ocean's edge on the ne side and Into the Everglades on the other. The percentage of those who stay longer than a few days or weeks Is comparatively small. The highest estimate anyone, gave me on that point was ten per cent and the lowest three per cent. But all of them leave money here.

It may not be big money; It may be only enough to pay' for one's board and lodging or an initial payment on a sub division lot. But in the aggre gate the amount is enormous. It is Incalculable for the reason that no body is in a position to know what it comes to. A mere bird's eye view of the Flor ida movement is enough to pursuade the observer that it is the most interesting phenomenon in the life of the nation today: The passion be hlnd it for easy money on the one hand, has not been matched perhaps since the gold rush to California In 43," and the ploneeering spirit of the every day sort of settler on the other 'hand, has had no' counterpart since the homestead migration west (ward after the Civil i BOARD TO QUESTION (1 "A collector of wars" is what Sergeant F.
