retained tight hold. When he got to
the surface he was astonished to find
that he had a corpse.
The body was that OF n man about
thirty-fve, feet, inches in height.
The man had dark hair and side whisk-
ers and wore n good business suit. The
body had evidently been in the water
for several days A gold watch and
some money We're in the pockets, but

Marion who was drowned. His body
was recovered later by the crew of the

A DEADLY GRADE CROSSING,
Neither Flagman Nor Whistle to
Warn John Mead of his Fate.
Passengers Hold an Indignation
Meeting on the Train.

A grade crossing without gate or flag
man, and with the main track hidden
by freight train. is considered by pas
sengers of Long Island train No. IA as
responsible for a probably fatal acci-
Gent at Rockville Centre this morning.
Inc victim was John Mead, mason,
fifty-iive years old. With his fifteen
year-old son by his side he was driving
lcross an unprotected crossing at Rock
lille Centre just when the Babylon

ween the main track and the direction
rom which Mead was approaching is
switch on which a freight train was
idetracked. At the crossing the train
ras cut to give an opening just trifie
'ider than a wagon.

.illed. The wagon was dashed the other
way, and with, it went Mead and his
roy. Mr.. Mead's skull was cut open
rom the forehead directly over the head
o the base of the brain. Those who
licked him up say they could plainly
Tee his brain.
He was removed to n store near by.
DR.. Hutchinson attended him. After
working with the injured man two hours
the physician said there was no hope
for his recovery.
The boys head was cut badly, and
there was splinter in his neck, but
he was not dangerously injured. lie
asserted that the engine did not whistle
while approaching the crossing.
The passengers on the train held an
informal Indignation meeting on the
way to the city. Many believed that

"Some office seekers are more ingenious

in addition to offering a profuse apology
for bothering the President with such

that he knew the Presidents time

Made a Lawyer Controller of the Currency
When a Banker should Have Been Named.
WASHINGTON. April 4.-There was one
nomination sent in by the President yes
terday that caused come criticism among
Senators. and especially. 1t is said. among
the members of the finance committee, to
whom 1t was referred. That nan is MIR.
Eckels. nominated to be Controller of the
Currency. Mr. Eckels is q well-known
lawyer. and Is highly recommended as q
man of attachments and legal learning. but
there Is a feeling among certain Senators
thss a man TO hold such o responsible Do
sitlon as Controller of the Currency should
have bad q training as q banker. This OIL
cial reports in nan cases direct TO Con-
gress. and Is not responsible to the Score
tary Of the Treasury. His decisions are
frequently final. and if not o practical man
through Ignorance, do the Treasury De-
partment an incalculable injury.
lt Is noticeable that the nomination was
not reported to dag, and it is understood
that the case has been referred by the
hDance committee 70 @ subcommittee, with
Instructions TO investigate the qualiica-
tons of the nominee for this particular
Office. 1t 10 probable that the appointment
of Mr.. Eckels was a mistake. ana shat It
was tbs intention 20 nominate him for the
position of Second Controller Of the Treas
ury.
Section 825, Revised Statutes, says that
the Controller of the Currency shall be ap-
pointed by the President on the recommen-
datfon OF the Secretary OF the Treasury.
This provision of the statute providing for
the appointment to be made on the recon-
nendation of the Secretary of the Treasury
was clearly not com piled with. as il is as
serted on uDquestIonable authority that
Secretary Carlisle ala not recommend the
appointment and only knew of 1t q few no.
ments before 10 was sent to the Senate.
For the past few days Mr.. Eckels has been
inquiring as TO the duties of the various
heads of bureaus in the Treasury Depart
ment. and 1t Is asserted that the President
told him to pick ous any of the positions
beneath that OF Assistant Secretary and
Treasurer that was agreeable 10 him and he
would appoint him To the position. This.
it Is said. he did, and indicated his prefer.
enee for the position OF Controller. In max
ing out his nomination "Of the currency"
the position read Controller of the Cur
officials in the Treasury Department who
claim to be acquainted with the facts.
Considerable comment is caused in the
Treasury Department by the fact that Mr..
Eckles, no minated for Controller of the
Currency, and Mr.. Tucker. appointed Dep
uty Controller of the Currency, both Occu-
pyIng positions requiring technical k1Owl-
edge and both new TO their duties. should
be placed in an official position at the same
time without having had any previous
training. thus leaving the work of this i'm
pOrtsnt bureau practically In the hands of
under officials.
