NEW YORK, Feb. 9. Two per
sons were killed and three score
others injured in accidents today
due to, dense fog that prevailed
over the eastern seaboard today.
The fog partly.: paralyzed New
York's transit means and Caused
a. general tieup of. traffic on land
and sea.
: The fog waa responsible for
three 'collisions on elevated rail
roads,! a disruption of the ferry
service, a; collision of two ocean
going steamers in the lower har
bor; a general delay, of train ser
vice, a, surface car collision, and
a number of minor jnlshapa.
A dozen ocean liners bearing
thousands from . foreign ' ports
were Imprisoned at quarantine or
delayed In getting to port. r
- Predictions ' of. the ; weather
bureau" that the fog would lift In
the afternoon were not fulfilled.
The most serious of the train
accidents occurred at 219 th street
station, of the" Interbctrough com

Warren J. Uncoln, Attorney
Florist, Is Found Guilty,
k ?! 'h of Murden.' r
GENEVA, 111.; Feb. 9. (By the
AP.)--Warren i. Lincoln, the.ee-
centrio 'Aurora lawyer-florist who
confessed he killed, his life and
her brother, Byron Shoup,: burned
their, bodies in his greenhouse fur
nace and sealed their heads in a
concrete block, tonight was, found
guilty of the. murder of his wife
by a jury which fixed his punish
ment at life imprisonment. : S
The 'Jury which has spent seve
ral weeks hearing. the. jjvidence.
deliberated, for three'hours and 25
minutes and took five ballots: The
first ballot decided his guilt, ac
cording; to reports' on the second
the vole was 7 to 5 that the man
was sane when the' crime was com
mitted;. ; , ;
f On the third ballot the Jury was
reported to have voted unanimous
ly that he is sane today, the fourth,
ballot was rteported to have been
10 to J for life Imprisonment, two
favoring the death penalty, and
the fifth ballot was unanimous for
life imprisonment.
Lincoln, to all appearances, ac
cepted 1 the sentence calmly. His
son, John, who testified for him,
burst into tears as the verdict was
pronounced, then threw his arms
about his father. "Don't cry, son,
it's not so bad," Lincoln said", pat
ting the youth" on the shoulder.
Llncom't attorney, who - had
asked the jury to 'find his client
insane ' despite the fact, that Lin
coln himself Insisted he was sane'.
when he killed his wife and her
brother, and la sane today, appar
ently determined to" accept the
verdict without appeal, as no mo
tions were made.
The state did not indicate to
night whether It expected to try
Lincoln also for the slaying of

Substitute Resolution Re-
"places' ToozeT Measure;
Saving "Expected
- The measure for - consolidating
state1 departments arose in the
senate yesterday afternoon, result
ing in the adoption of the major
ity report, and the subsequent
death of the resolution introduced
by Senator Tooze. i ;
. A debate In which many of tho
members took part, In explaining
the merits, of the two bills, pre
ceded he final ballot In which the
Tooze resolution-lost "by a vote of
14 to 1, ! .
The Toose - measure, known as
senate Joint Resolution No: 4,
was given a minority report by the
committee in favor of senate joint
resolution 1 No. i4,' sponsored by
Senators Banks, Corbett, Johnson
and Rltner. 1 . ,
In upholding his measure, Sena
tor. Tooze stated that a civil ad
ministrative code has been adopt?
ed in many states with great su
cess. In the state of Washington
87 departments have been reduced
to 10, with a subsequent saving of
approximately 32,600,000 yearly.
During, the first term of adminis
tration in Washington under the
new code, it is stated that a sur
plus of over 14,000. 000 was ac
counted for in the state treasury,
while previous' to the adoption of
the. code, a deficit had been ex
perienced. ; -.
!We need something definite to
prevent this ; multiplication 'of
state departments," Senator Tooze
stated.' "Many of the boards over
lap each other in their duties, and
cooperation" is difficult or practi
cally, "impossible. In the way
things are ; going now,1 standards
of efficiency and economy cannot
be applied, nor responsibility for
unsatisfactory service and results
definitely fixed. Reorganization
will increase the efficiency and
reduce the expense of state gov
ernment." " - '
Senator Hare stated that he be
lieved the conalidation plans were
"all bunk," "But if there is any
virtue in it, let us by all means
try it. If the consolidation plan,
taking it generally, , is good, then
the Tooze resolution provides the
working machinery. I am not in
favor of leaving the governor out
of It, as some of the senators ad
vocate. I want him to be in, . so
that when he tarns his office over
to his successor, he can not point
the 'finger' .of scorn at this legis
lature if it faMs In its attempt! to
reduce state .expenses." - :. . .f
t' A "discussion of' Senate Bill No.
114, relating to K the workmen's
compensation acK was held during
the" afternoon "session, but the
measure . was again . referred back
to the committee for amendments.
