Edited Polire Gazette In 1878 he became editor of the Police Gazette, then as important an adjunct of barber shops throughout the country as the inevitable quartet, and served continuously in that capacity until 1888, except for several brief intervals during which he "couldn't i-ee eye to eye" with the owner, Richard K. Fox. In 1888 he not only launched a three-year career as manager of the immortal John L. but established his own paper, the New York Illustrated News, which went out of existence in 1898 after unsuccessfully rivaling the Gazette. While connected with Sullivan Mr.

Lumley figured in the last of the bare knuckle championship fights, that in which John L. defeated Jake Kilrain at Richbourg. in 75 rounds in 1889, and lined up a store of anecdotes concerning the "Boston Strong Boy" with which he regaled his cronies for many years. He never failed to describe the reaction of an audience in Brockton, when Sullivan, acting in "Honest Hearts and Willing Hands." announced: "I wish I could Another favorite Lumley tale told of the time that John 20 minutes late for an audience with the Prince of Wales i later Edward VII i. airily entered the royal presence, thumped the future king on the back and bellowed: "You're a hell of a good fellow, Prince." 'Greatest of Them AH' Sullivan later was sporting editor of Mr.

Lumley's paper, and the latter, always a stout defender of the man he considered "the greatest of them all until he got hog-fat," insisted that the pugilist occasionally ty-rote an article himself, although "a little editing was usually required." In addition to opening the Coney Island Club, sponsored by the then political czar of the resort. John McKane, Mr. Lumley was instrumental in the organizing of the first boxing club east of California, the old Oakland Rink in Jersey City, Managed Noted Fighters Among other fighters who fought under the Lumley banner were Jack McAuliffe, Bob Fitzsimmons.

At the sheriff's office in River- head, Chief Deputy Sheriff Harry Prussncr made public a copy of a talk which Sheriff Dreyer had intended to deliver at the union meeting last night. While assuring the nnion members of his sympathy with labor, the sheriff made It clear that "when labor, foolishly advised, resorts to any act which can jeopardize public safety, it can no longer expect public sympatuy to support it, and must confidently expect sworn public officials to stamp out such acts immediately." Says Duty Is Plain If the union plans contemplate "plunging the county into darkness, which must mean open invitation to crime and fire," he said, "my duty in such an emergency is plain, and that duty is to prevent such a catastrophe in this county no matter what the cost of that work shall be." Officials of the L. I. Lighting Company refused to comment upon reports that negotiations between it and the union had been deadlocked by demands of the workers for an eight-hour day and minimum weekly wage of $26. Would Affect 1,400 Workers According to Roland A.

owe. counsel for the union, who presided at the meeting, the strike would affect 1,400 workers, or 98 percent of the employes in the mechanical divisions of the utility company and its subsidiaries. Despite the opposition of Sprague and other public officials in both Nassau and Suffolk to such a strike, Crowe announced that the union contemplates effecting a "complete shutdown" in n.n effort to obtain a closed shop and a minimum wage of $26 a week, Instead of the present $2160. Sprague's announcement was contained in a letter written in respoase to a warning from Crowe of the impending strike and read to newspapermen in the presence of both Crowe and Errel Doebler, operations manager of the utility company. 'Must Keep Obligations' "I call attention of the company." said the county executive, "to the lart that it and its affiliates arc operating in this county pursuant to franchises granted by the municipalities within the county, and that while these franchi-e; convey rights, they also carry with them obligations.

These obligations must be fulfilled and there can be no interference with the maintenance of service." Pointing nut that a strike wouH cause a water famine in Wa.s.s.i'1 "within 24 hours." Sprague argued that "this- is not an ordinary con- troversy between cmplojer and employe, but a subject which vitallv af-, fect.s the lives and cxLMeure of nn 'entire county of more than.400.300 people." Pumps bringing water from wells are oixratcd by electricity. "Light is necessary to avoid dis-; tress in homes, to mothers, children and shut ms. even in homes nee from he declared.
