SKEDIFU-BKq AS CLERK SHOOTS: HS BUREAU CHE Employee Let Out When He Refused to Handle Dusty Old Recotds, WM. JONES IS_ VICTIM. Lewis Cohen Turns Gun on Him in Brooklyn Office of Tenement Department. | Because he had been suspended for | refusing to do work which he did) not consider healthful, Lewis Cohen | of No, 47 Attorney Street, Manhattan, a clerk, shot William Jones, chief of the Burean of Records in the Brook- lyn office of the Tenement House De- partment, at No, 608 Fulton Street, to-day. ‘The bullet entered Mr. Jones's back between the shoulder blades and to) the left of the spine. Although Dr. Cook of Brooklyn Hospital told him he was badly hart, Jones insisted on going to his home, at No, 262 East Twenty-eighth Street, Flatbush. Cohen was arrested. Later, Jonea’s family physician, after a fruitless ef- | fort to locate the bullet, sent him to the Methodist Episcopal Hospital to be placed under the X-ray. The shot was fired from a .32 calibre re- volver which Cohen carried in his vest pocket, The shooting ocourred in the office of Thomas F, Hibkey, Deputy Tene- ment House Commissioner for Brook- lyn. Cohen had been ordered by Jones to file some old records and had re- fused, because the records were dusty, He sald he wouldn't imperil his health for a salary of $600 a year, Jones went Into the office of Deputy Commissioner Hickey and Cohen fol- lowed. After some conversation Cohen was told by the Dep: Com- missioner that if he did not obey orders he would be suspended. “It I'm suspended,” Cohen shouted to Jones, “I'll get even with you.” “You are suspended right now,” said the Deputy Commissioner, Jones turned to go to his office. As he reachod the door of the room Cohen drew « revolver and shot him. The pound of the shot and the screams of Loretta Lavelle and Sadie in, ate- nographers, attracted the attention of Patrolmen Hassemer and Caufield, who were on duty in the hallway. They ran Into the office just as Deputy Com- missioner Hickey grabbed Cohen and disarmed him. Cohen is twenty-four years old and has been a clerk in the Tenement Houso Department since March 17, 1914. He was arraigned in Adams Street Polive Court and held with- out bail. —— SOFIA SAYS GREEKS ALL RESENT CONSULS’ ARREST Berlin Quotes Despatches Declaring People Hold Country’s Sove- reignty Violated, BERLIN (By Wiroldss to Sayville), Jan. ‘Dispatches from Sofi. gays the Overseas News Agency, “say that in protesting against the arrest at Salonica of the Austrian, German, Bulgarian and Turkish Consuls the Greek Government called attention to the fact that Greek officers and gen- darmes were charged with the guard- ing of the Consulates, Greece con- tends that any measures against the Central Powers should have been communicated in advance to her, “The pretext of Gen, Sarratl, the French commander, that the arrest of the Consuls was due to the attack on Salontca by Teutonic aeroplanes is not valid, Inasmuch as the airmen at- tacked and damaged only the camps of the aliied troops, The entire Greek peopie share the view of the Government, considering the French encroachment as a@ brutal violation of the sovereignty of Greece. mb, TO, Cal, Jan, 8A.

COMMISSION RULE Thompson Inquiry Shows Edi- son Company Benefits by Light Rates. JOKER ON THE TENANTS. Milo R. Maltbie in One Meter Concern as an “Ad- viser.” Taking a sudden look into electric) light company rates and practices, the |Thompson Legislative Committee to- day developed that an order of the Public Service Commission, ¢ffective Jan. 1, designed to benefit the public would reality impose additional bur- dens. The chief beneficiary will be the New York Edison Company and| certain private electric meter inspe- ction companies at the cost of real es- tate owners and tenants in apartment houses and loft buildings. The Jan. 1 order was intended to put an end to the old partnership between electric companies and land- lords whereby all the tenants in a bullding were charged high rates for electric current and (heir combined meter readings were charged to the landlord at lower wholesale rates, Acting under or- ders of the commission, the Edison Company ‘has practically turned against its former partner and is put- ting @ large burden of increased costs on the property owner, which will be reflected in increased rents to ten- ants. Reginald P. Bolton, organizer and principal owner of the Electric Meter Corporation, No, 55 Liberty Street, was put on the witness stand to tell how meter companies were hustling in the fleld to tuke over the sub- meter business in buildings and charging for service that formerly was rendered free by the Edison Company. Mr. Bolton's company has close and friendly relations with the Edison Company. Under questioning by Senator Thompson and Counsel Lewis the following conditions were shown to exist: The Public Service Commission or- dered that the Edison Company could supply only dno meter, a master meter, to this class of buildings. Owners desiring to furnish cur- rent to their tenants must buy all interior meters from the company and make private arrangements for maintenance, inspection and reading. ‘There are 2,000 owners and land- lords affected by the change and 40,- 000 sub-meters will have to be taken over, ‘The Edison Company need not fur- nish these meters free any longer, and property owners must buy them at an estimated total cost of $400,000. all} THE EVENING WORLD, MONDAY, JANUARY 3, FROM OUR SHIPS Prisoners Captured by Des- cartes Will Be Turned Over to United States Consul. WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.—The State Department was officially advised to- day that the French Government, tn response to representations made by the United States, has ordered the immediate release of Germans recent- ly removed from American #hips on the high seas off San Juan by the French cruiser Descartes. The advices were received through the French Embassy, The State De- partment also was Informed that the men arrested would be turned over to the American Consul at Fort Do France, Martinique, where they were taken for detentior Four American steamships were held up near Porto Rico last month by the Descartes, which in each case removed one or more Germans or Austrians. Chief Steward Schaade was taken from the Carolina on Dec. 8. On the following day the Coamo was held up by the Descartes, which fired two shots across her bow. One German and two Austrian members of the crew were taken on board the Des- cartes. On Dec. 15 the Borinquen was board- ed by a party from the French cruiser and the purser, William Garbe of Hrookiyn, was taken off, Garbe, a German by birth, has taken out ‘his first naturalization papers, The fourth vessel held up was the San Juan, from which two second cabin passengers, Germans, were re- moved.

For the purpose of saving horses {from slipping on the icy pavements in the winter an ordinance was in- troduced in the Board of Aldermen this afternoon making it compulsory was offered by Alderman John J. O'Rourke in order to carry out recom- mendations made by The Evening World. Following the usual proced- ure the dill was referred to the Com- mittee on Thoroughfares, which will report on it in about two weeks, Several Aldermen have already ex- pressed themselves as { nhearty symn- pathy with the proposed reform, Chief among these is Frank L, Dowling, who to-day was elected Vice-Chairman of the Board. He is depended upon to ald materially in effecting the passage of the ordinance. Minority Leader Cur- ran and Alderman Alexander F. Drescher are also counted upon to lend their support Records in the office of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani- mals have disclosed each winter largo numbers of horses injured, frequently with fata! results, by sliping on the glass-like pavements. It is argued that horse owners should, not only out of consideration for their animals but to prevent monetary loss through acicdents, welcome the suggested calking regulation. ‘The ordinance provides that: .

Investigation by Fire Marshal Brophy showed that the tank which exploded contained acetelyne cas used as fuel for driving the ship. The two larger tanks centained fuel oil, The ship began to list badly to star- ‘board soon after the fire started, and all firemen were ordered off her to places of safety. Lines of hose were run to the deck of the Roselands, and the fight continued from there, Tho Aztec lay across the path of the Roselands in such a way that the lat- ter vessel could not be towed beyond possible reach of the flames. The steamer General Hubbard lay back of the Roselands and Is also said to be loaded with explosives, After an hour of fire fighting the Aztec had listed so badly that it ap- peared the other tanks must piode at any moment, The ship was down to her waterline and masked by blinding clouds of dense black smoke. The members of the crew who es- caped and were able to give the names of their companions below decks suid that they could not believe any one left in the engine room had managed to escape death, either from direct injury caused by the explosion or by subsequent suffocation and burning. A gang of ten men sent down by tug dry dock owners to work on the ship's rigging were missing after the ex- ploston, but there doubt as to their having been aboard at the time. Capt. A, L. Bennett of- the tug Dal- zalene, which was lying alongside the Aztec at the time of the explosion, says he saw the body of a man blown like @ projectile fifty feet from the vesael into the waters of the basin, The body sank immediately. Capt, Bennett and his crew went aboard the Aztec and took off cight men who had been injured, ‘The Aztec had been tn vary’ “dock for major repairs until Dec, 27, and began loading Dee, 31, Bhe is regularly em- ployed in the fuel and oil carrying trade and is so saturated with oll that the fire fighters were confronted with jan almost impossible task when they tried to put out the flames, The Roselands, alongside, Is sup- posed to be loaded with ammunition, adding greatly to the dangerous char- acter of the work, The Aztec is owned by A.

It is possible that later Ambassador Gerard at Ber- | M! lin may be instructed to seek informa- tion, Officials consider that the Austrian submarine campaign in the Mediter- ranean has brought on just such a crisis as did the German submarine campaign in the declared war zone around the British Isles, Coming close on the conciliatory assurances in Austria's Ancona note, the con- tinued submarine activity principally around the entrance of the Suez Canal has alarmed and amazed American officials who have grave apprehen- sions over the developments of the next few days. SURVIVORS SAY SUBMARINE SANK THE LINER PERSIA. 4 ALEXANDRIA, Jan, 3.—Surviving officers of the British liner Persia, landed at this port, declared positive- ly that the steamer was torpedoed and ridiculed the tdea that a mine might have sent the vessel to the bottom with the loss of probably more than 250 lives, The second officer declared he saw a white streak—the wake of a tor- pedo—on the port side just before the explosion, No survivor has been found who saw a submarine but the Persia's officers declared a mine, if struck a glancing blow by the ship's side would not have torn a gap that would have sent her to the bottom in a few minutes. “There was no panic,” said Leonard Hoss, one of the British irvivora, “The heavy loss of life was due to two things, the fect that the Persii sank in less than six m fact that most of the at luncheon when the ship struck. “No one was thinking of submarines, These, are aati nrichest, cove! meted ued Manoavaileas venvets” Obes y reel of delick ‘melt!
