MARCH BATH IN EAST RIVER PROVED FATAL Murray Made Wager of 15 Cents He Could Swim 200 Feet. New York, March 13.—John Murray, a laborer; died from submersion and shock on the recreation pier at the foot of East Twenty-fourth street, to- day, after he had been hauled out of the East river. Murray went down to the coal pier of Richard Fitzpatrick, at East Twen- ty-third street, this morning, and tried to make a wager of 15 cents with John Stevenson that he could swim out to the training ship Newport, about 200 feet away. Stevenson would not make the bet. and tried to dissuade Mur- ray from making the attempt. Mur- ray, however , bearded the barge George D. Cooley. took off his clothes and dived into the water. He was a strong swimmer, and soon was clam- bering up the anchor chains of the training ship. ‘Then his strength gave out and he called lustily for help. Stephenson and several others threw him a rope, and Erick Johansson, the quartermaster of the Newport, lowered a boat. - By this time Murray was again strusuung in the water. He was hauled into the boat and carried to the pler, where Dr. R. A. Warner worked over him without success. WAGES ON RAILROAD. Figures compiled by the auditing de- partment of the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford Railroad company, recently made public, showing the amount of increase in the pay of vari- ous classes of employes, based upon the pay rolls for the year ending June 30, 1910, and June 30, 1903. One pur- pose of the compilation is to disprove the statement published widely that during the last decade the general offi- cers, and not the men employed in the operating” departments, had receivea the greatest increase in wages. Following are the figures, those ap- pearing first being the average daily amounts paid at present, and those fol- lowing being the wages paid in 1903: General officers, $2i .06; other officers, $7.25-3$6.6 offica clerks, $2.30-$2.09; staflon agents),$2.28- $2.02; other sttafion men, $2.02-31.88; engine men, $3.97-$3.59; firemen, $2.28- $1.98; conductors, $3.44-$3.19; other trainmen, $2.39-$2.24; machinists,$2.98- $2.39; carpenters, $2.52-$2.24; shopment, $2.19-31.88; section foremen, $2.53-$2.34; other trackmen, $1.57-$1.49; switchmen, watchmen and flagmen, $1.81-31.55; telegraphers and despatch- ers, $2.47-31.94; floating equipment, g.;g-s 89; all other employes, $1.96- From the foregoing figures it will be seen that the general officers of the New Haven railroad during the years of Mr, Mellen’s presidency have receiv- ed the smallest percentage of salary increase made in that period, except the bodies of employes -designated as “other station men” and “other track- men.” Important Books in State Library.
