As- signed to the new trick of duty, of patrolling the streets In a city automblle, Officer Graffunder saw a Ducant automobile parked In front of the McCarthy store and Investigated, finding it partly filled with merchandise. A short dis- tance from the store he met Patrolman Eugene Ducat and the two returned'to the scene where they found Richard McCarthy, brother of the proprietor. Claimed He Was Fired on. He said he had been sleeping in a room on the first floor when he heard someone walking about the store. Calling, "who is there," he saw the key in his bedroom door locked, making him a prisoner.

Sergeant Frederick M. Broderick responded and when he learned that Richard .McCarthy had been fired on, he detailed Officer Graffunder for the tear bombs.

Inter- Two Cars Skid on Slippery Highway and Plunge Through > Guard Rail. A disastrous accident was nar- rowly averted on the New York Highway early last night when two heavy machines within as* many j minutes skidded and left the road on the same spot the first plung- ing down a 20-foot embankment and the second hanging dangerous- ly on the brink. Only a piece of broken guardrail held the second car from crashing down the em- bankment on the first machine and causing the loss of several lives. The accident occurred at the edge of the Boston and Albany Railroad bridge In the southern part of the county. A heavy Stude- baker sedan, owned and operated by C. H. Fink of Pittsfleld, Mass., struck an ley spot on the bridge approach, skidded and crashed through the concrete guard rail, plunging 20 feet into a gulley he- low. Almost immediately afterward, the second car, driven by Harry Rallis of South Pearl Street, Al- bany, struck the same J slippery spot skidded in exactlyMhe same manner and swerved through the broken guard fence. 'The rear wheels of the car were caught in a piece of the broken guard rail and the machine dangled on the edge of the drop. The occupants of the first ma- chine, which included Fink's wife and his daughter, Catherine, 26 years old, had not extricated them- selves from their overturned ma- chine when the second car left the road, and would undoubterly been killed or seriously injured of the machine crashed down upon them. None of the occupants was serious- ly injured. • - Deputy Sheriffs Reynolds and Clifford of the night patrol were on the scene soon after the acci- dent and took charge of traffic while a tow car raised the auto- mobile. The spot where the double accident occurred was in an ex- tremely dangerous condition.' Gas Jet Was Wide Open When Proprietor Forced Entrance to Sleeping Quarters. The identity of a man who com- mitted suicide early this morning at the rooming house of Mrs. Eliza- beth Sullivan at 1535 Fifth Avenue was unknown this afternoon. He was apparently 45 years old, about five feet seven inches in height and applied for a room at 11:30 o'clock last night. He was dressed in a blue suit with a light soft hat and light raincoat. He told Mrs. Sullivan he was a World War veteran. She heard him walking about his room at 5 o'clock this morning. At 8:30 o'clock she detected the odor of gas In the hall and opened the door of the man's room. He was on the bed with his hands crossed over his chest and was dead. A gas jet on the wall near the bed was wide open. Mrs. Sullivan sum- moned assistance. She later notiiied the Central Station police and Ser- geant Fogarty and Policemen Bills and Campana went to the house. Coroner Cote was summoned and made an examination of the body. On a signet ring on the man's left hand were the initials "F. H. C." and the same initials were on a collar which he had been wearing. In his pockets were 12 cents and a return railroad.ticket to Benning- ton, Vt. His clothing had been bought in Rutland. On the stand J in the room were two pint bottles. One was half filled with red wine and the other, which had contained wine, was empty. Coroner Cote pronounced the case one of suicide and had the body removed to his rooms on Sec- ond Street. When asking for the room last night the man requested that he be called so that he would be able to take the 8 o'clock train for Ben- nington today. Coroner Cote communicated with the Soldiers' Home at Bennington. He was told an official would come to Troy during the afternoon to view the body for the purpose of possible identification. FIRE DESTROYED FOUR BUILDINGS AT TICONDEROGA The Editor and Publisher for January 3 contains a picture of Russell D. Meredith, and the follow- ing reference to his work: "There is no question about Rue? sell D. Meredith being copy chief of Meredith & Co., Inc., Troy, N. Y. In fact, he is the copy department He's also President of the agency "He got into the .advertising In 1911, soon after being ^%aduated from Dartmouth, where he had done newspaper work in his spare time for several years. His first advertising job was with Henry Holmes & Son, one of Troy's pioneer collar companies. Later he went to the Falrchlld Co., New York, thence to the United Shirt and Collar Co., Troy. Boston claimed him through the Daniel Green Felt Shoe Co. until Van Zandt, Jacobs & Co. got him to re- turn, to Troy. Then he joined Scribner's, New York, covering the states of New York, Pennsylvania 'fend New Jersey. Finally he re- turned to Troy, joining the Byron G. Moon Ad vei *tising Agency until 1920, when he organized Meredith & Co. "Among the Meredith accounts are the Wood Elong Corporation. Hoosick Falls, N. Y., dry mat man- ufacturers; Corliss, Coon & Co.. Troy, N. Y., collars and shirts; the Vanco Co., Manchester, Conn., soap makers; the Wilder-Pike Ther- mometer Co., Troy, and the Padua Hold-Up Fire Alarm Corporation. Cohoes, N. Y. "Meredith has a flair for put.tic affairs, which has been developeoV and kept alive through the Chair- manship of the Public Affairs Com- mittee of the Troy Rotary Club and through four years of service on the Board of Supervisors. This lat- ter period opened with a primary fight agajnst the machine candi- date and was accepted as an oppor- tunity for learning' what an inde- pendent individual could accom- plish by refusing to be bound by ;-j-party organization and tradition when it is thought they conflict with the public good. "Incidentally, Meredith's four years of independent service are said to have been responsible for his nomination, a year ago, for Re- publican Mayor in the ^Democratic city of Troy. Did defeat for that office dampen his ardor for civic affairs? Not so you could notice it 'Russ' Meredith took his' licking with a grin and today is taking a keener and more active'interest in Troy's affairs than ever before."

WATERVLIET POLICE USE TCAR BOMBS TO ROUT BURGLARS IN

THE ACT OF ROBBING GROCERY Three Trojans, Peter and William Aran-. sky, and Bruno Nusco, Charged With Burglary and Grand Larceny-Police Resortectfo'&rastic Means When Rela­tive of Proprietor Reported Being Shot At. i

^[Funeral Rites of Child Killed in Coasting Mishap

Watervllet police early this morning used tear gas bombs, secured from the local State Police barracks, to bring about the cap­ture of three Trojans caught gin the act of robbing the grocery store of Frank McCarthy, 1008 Eighth Avenue. The trio. Peter N. Aransky, 22 years old, his hmthsr. William A'-anskv, 19. of 397 First Street, and Bruno Nusco. of 109 Hill Street, are In the Water­vllet lockup facing charges of burglary, first degree, and grand larceny, second degree.

The trio were arraigned before City Judge McMahon^-^l—Water-vllet this afternoon. They waived examination and were held for the Grand Jury without ball.

Patrolman Charles Graff under Is credited with being responsible for the capture of the men. As­signed to the new trick of duty, of patrolling the streets In a city automblle, Officer Graffunder saw a Ducant automobile parked In front of the McCarthy store and Investigated, finding it partly filled with merchandise. A short dis­tance from the store he met Patrolman Eugene Ducat and the two returned'to the scene where they found Richard McCarthy, brother of the proprietor.

Claimed He Was Fired on. He said he had been sleeping in

a room on the first floor when he heard someone walking about the store. Calling, "who is there," he saw the key in his bedroom door locked, making him a prisoner. Hfe then jumped from a rear win­dow and claims as he did, two shots were fired at him from the store. -»

The officers awakened Dennis McCarthy, father of the proprietor, j who lives next door to the store, and had him telephone Police Head­quarters. Sergeant Frederick M. Broderick responded and when he learned that Richard .McCarthy had been fired on, he detailed Officer Graffunder for the tear bombs. Meanwhile the store was heavily guarded against any escape.

No sooner than the bombs were hurled onto the first and second" floor of the buildings than the three appeared at a broken window and implored the police not to shoot.

No Guns Found. \ Searched at Police Headquarters, $60, taken from the cash register, was found in one of the shoes worn by Peter Arnansky. A heavy* iron plnchbar, two wrenches, screw driv­ers and other burglar tools were found in front of the store. The automobile, owned by Peter Aran­sky, contained more than $100 worth of cigars, cigarettes and other merchandise. Entrance had been made by forcing a rear door. The burglars evidently had re­entered the store In search of fur­ther loot when they were dis­covered by Officer Graffunder. t

In spite of the fact that Mr. Mc­Carthy reports having been fired at, police found no guns on the three prisoners.

Well Known to Police. The Aransky brothers are well

known to the Troy police. Peter has been arrested 12 times and William seven. The offenses charged ranged from petty larceny to burglary. The last time they were arrested was on December 11, when they were ac-

'cused of attempted burglary. No indictment was found by the Grand

.Jury and they were discharged. I Nusco has been arrested three times for burglary and larseny. One

I of his offenses was stealing an au­tomobile owned by the cky of Troy

' and used by Commissioner of Public I Works Roche.

FIRE INSURANCE POLICY CLAUSE IS

TO BE DISCUSSED Meeting Tomorrow Night for the Purpose of Seeking Action

to Protect Property Owners. A meeting will f be held tomor­

row night at the law office of John P.

Two Cars Skid on Slippery Highway and Plunge Through

> Guard Rail. A disastrous accident was nar­

rowly averted on the New York Highway early last night when two heavy machines within as* many j minutes skidded and left the road on the same spot the first plung­ing down a 20-foot embankment and the second hanging dangerous­ly on the brink. Only a piece of broken guardrail held the second car from crashing down the em­bankment on the first machine and causing the loss of several lives.

The accident occurred at the edge of the Boston and Albany Railroad bridge In the southern part of the county. A heavy Stude-baker sedan, owned and operated by C. H. Fink of Pittsfleld, Mass., struck an ley spot on the bridge approach, skidded and crashed through the concrete guard rail, plunging 20 feet into a gulley he-low. Almost immediately afterward, the second car, driven by Harry Rallis of South Pearl Street, Al­bany, struck the same J slippery spot skidded in exactlyMhe same manner and swerved through the broken guard fence. 'The rear wheels of the car were caught in a piece of the broken guard rail and the machine dangled on the edge of the drop.

The occupants of the first ma­chine, which included Fink's wife and his daughter, Catherine, 26 years old, had not extricated them­selves from their overturned ma­chine when the second car left the road, and would undoubterly been killed or seriously injured of the machine crashed down upon them. None of the occupants was serious­ly injured. • -

Deputy Sheriffs Reynolds and Clifford of the night patrol were on the scene soon after the acci­dent and took charge of traffic while a tow car raised the auto­mobile. The spot where the double accident occurred was in an ex­tremely dangerous condition.'

Gas Jet Was Wide Open When Proprietor Forced Entrance

to Sleeping Quarters. The identity of a man who com­

mitted suicide early this morning at the rooming house of Mrs. Eliza­beth Sullivan at 1535 Fifth Avenue was unknown this afternoon. He was apparently 45 years old, about five feet seven inches in height and applied for a room at 11:30 o'clock last night. He was dressed in a blue suit with a light soft hat and light raincoat. He told Mrs. Sullivan he was a World War veteran.

She heard him walking about his room at 5 o'clock this morning. At 8:30 o'clock she detected the odor of gas In the hall and opened the door of the man's room. He was on the bed with his hands crossed over his chest and was dead. A gas jet on the wall near the bed was wide open. Mrs. Sullivan sum­moned assistance. She later notiiied the Central Station police and Ser­geant Fogarty and Policemen Bills and Campana went to the house. Coroner Cote was summoned and made an examination of the body.

On a signet ring on the man's left hand were the initials "F. H. C." and the same initials were on a collar which he had been wearing. In his pockets were 12 cents and a return railroad.ticket to Benning­ton, Vt. His clothing had been bought in Rutland. On the stand J in the room were two pint bottles. One was half filled with red wine and the other, which had contained wine, was empty.

Coroner Cote pronounced the case one of suicide and had the body removed to his rooms on Sec­ond Street.

When asking for the room last night the man requested that he be called so that he would be able to take the 8 o'clock train for Ben­nington today.

Coroner Cote communicated with the Soldiers' Home at Bennington. He was told an official would come to Troy during the afternoon to view the body for the purpose of possible identification.

FIRE DESTROYED FOUR BUILDINGS AT TICONDEROGA

The Editor and Publisher for January 3 contains a picture of Russell D. Meredith, and the follow­ing reference to his work:

"There is no question about Rue? sell D. Meredith being copy chief of Meredith & Co., Inc., Troy, N. Y. In fact, he is the copy department He's also President of the agency

"He got into the .advertising In 1911, soon after being ^%aduated from Dartmouth, where he had done newspaper work in his spare time for several years. His first advertising job was with Henry Holmes & Son, one of Troy's pioneer collar companies. Later he went to the Falrchlld Co., New York, thence to the United Shirt and Collar Co., Troy. Boston claimed him through the Daniel Green Felt Shoe Co. until Van Zandt, Jacobs & Co. got him to re­turn, to Troy. Then he joined Scribner's, New York, covering the states of New York, Pennsylvania 'fend New Jersey. Finally he re­turned to Troy, joining the Byron G. Moon Advei*tising Agency until 1920, when he organized Meredith & Co.

"Among the Meredith accounts are the Wood Elong Corporation. Hoosick Falls, N. Y., dry mat man­ufacturers; Corliss, Coon & Co.. Troy, N. Y., collars and shirts; the Vanco Co., Manchester, Conn., soap makers; the Wilder-Pike Ther­mometer Co., Troy, and the Padua Hold-Up Fire Alarm Corporation. Cohoes, N. Y.

"Meredith has a flair for put.tic affairs, which has been developeoV and kept alive through the Chair­manship of the Public Affairs Com­mittee of the Troy Rotary Club and through four years of service on the Board of Supervisors. This lat­ter period opened with a primary fight agajnst the machine candi­date and was accepted as an oppor­tunity for learning' what an inde­pendent individual could accom­plish by refusing to be bound by

;-j-party organization and tradition when it is thought they conflict with the public good.

"Incidentally, Meredith's four years of independent service are said to have been responsible for his nomination, a year ago, for Re­publican Mayor in the ^Democratic city of Troy. Did defeat for that office dampen his ardor for civic affairs? Not so you could notice it 'Russ' Meredith took his' licking with a grin and today is taking a keener and more active'interest in Troy's affairs than ever before."
