SHOCKING ACCIDENT TO A GIRL.
Falls From Her Bicycle and Her Legs
Cut on by n Trolley Car.

New York, July 27.-Miss Adeline Mil
Ter. twenty years old. graduate OF TIE
Girls High School in Brooklyn, was the
vi.tim OF a shocking trolley accident this
evening. The accident occurred when she
and her companion, Miss Olive Reppingill,
were or their way on their bicycles Tor a
ride in Prospect Park. On the south side
of the Long Island Railroad tracks are the
downtown tracks OF the Douglass Street
line of the Nassau trolley road. Just as
Miss Miller and her companion were cross
ing the railroad tracks trolley car was
rapidly approaching the crossing on the
downtown track On clearing the crossing
Miss Miller turned her wheel in the came
direction the car was going, keeping close
to the railroad tracks.
When Miss Miller had reached a point
about fifty feet from the crossing her
wheel sweryed to the right and she fell
of, her clothing entangled in the wheels
and her legs stretched on the north rail.
The car came on her at the instant and it
was impossible to stop 1t before the front
wheels had passed over her legs and she
was held fast in the machinery between
the trucks 1t was found that both legs
had been cut OF just below the knees.
An excited crowd surrounded John Lenaha
the motorman of the car, and he might
have been roughly handled had 1t not
been for the prompt arrival of Police
Captain White and twelve men. Lenaha
was placed under arrest, Miss Miller is ex-

Havana, July PA Cuban who. during
the war, became Mexican citizen IN oTde-
TO gave his life and property. recently wrote
to Governor General Brooke asking if he
could not regain Cuban citizenship b. MAX
ing declaration at the registry for for
eigners. General Brooke asked Co.ontl
Dudley, the Inspector General for an opin-
ion on the matter. Today Colonel Dudley
announced that Cubans natura!ized by
other countries must remain citizens of
those countries. Senior Despaigne, Acting
Secretary OF State in the absence of Senior
Capots, has written TO General B:ooke,
protesting against the decision. and he will
prepare an argument against it. TIE ques-
tion is of great interest, owing to The fact
that thousands of Cubans became Aueri-
can citizens during the war, and most OF
them have returned 10 the island. Many
OF these men have progressive ideas. and
friendly TO the United States. Secre
tary Capote is credited by some of t1em
with plan 20 force them to renounce their
American citizenship, with the view OF
spreading the idea that all Cubals are ral-
lying again to their own nationality aad
presenting united front TO the world.
The plan, 1t is said contemplatss prevent
ing any Cuban Americans from ho.ding Of
fee II is believed by some that The letter
from the Mexican citizen was prompted by
those back of Senor Capote's scheme. as a
favorable decision in this case would have
afforded precedent in the matter Of the
Cuban Americans. and would have made i:
easier TO force the latter TO reno.n-e their
allegiance to the United States. great

same time they want 10 paI ticipsts IN tie
affairs of the intervening government.
They are uncertain regarding the future,
and want some guarantee that their lives
and property will be safe here in case tae
Americans withdraw their control. They
are all hopeful that General Brooke will
not reverse Colonel Dudley's op-n -nion, and
it is not likely that he will.
A mayoralty fight that has been pro-
crossing for some time at Guines reached
crisis today when charges were pre-
scented against General Jacinto Hernandez,
the mayor, by a number of citizens, who
allege that he is a regular dictator. and
that he uses the employees of the munich
paiity. The appointment Of another mayor
is asked for. !
For sanitary reasons Major Davis has
ordered that refrigerators be put in all
the butcher shops in the city. Very few
refrigerators are used at present with
the result that most of the markets are
foul-smeiling places and the meat sold "a
bad. The butchers object to the order
on account of the expense il will entail
on them and they will hold meeting
tonight to protest against Major Davis
action.

Loses Eleven Thousand Dollars
Worth of Revenue stamps.
New York, July 27.-A clerk employed
at the Beadleston 4 Wosrz brewery, at
2si West Tenth Street, lost S1l. 800 worth
of internal revenue stamps this afternoon
within twenty minutes after purchasing
them The stamps were los. or stolen
somewhere in Nassau Street between In
ternal Revenue Collector c. II. Treats
Office. at Spruce and Nassau, and the pho
tograph supriy stcre OF fhs Dickinson
company. three aid a half blcciI.' walk
One Of the theories tie police are working
on is that the brewery clerk was seen to
make a large purchase of stamps and
was followed by some sneak thief. II was
with this idea in mind that the orders
were given by headquarters TO the police
10 watch all ferries and the Brooklyn
Bridge TO pick up any well-known crooks
who might seem anxious 10 leave town.
II the stamps are never recovered the
loss VIII be total to the brewery owners,
while the benefit to the thief is doubtful
The stamps are intended for beer barrels
nnd are not as easily negotiable as docu-
heniary or war stamps would be. II any
dishonest brewer should buy the stamps

watch for any trace Of the missing stamps.
gill probably learn from a comparison of
the number Of beer casks or barrels sent
out with stamps on them and the num-
ber purchased by the particular brewer
from the internal revenue Office that the
stolen stamps are being used. There are
ffiy-iiye hundred stamps in the Package.

coLUMBIA's MAST STEPPED.
The Steel Topmast Is to Be Housed
Within the Mainmast.

Bristol, R. l., July 27.-The work of step
ping the steel mast on the Columbia was
begun very early this morning, and just
before o'clock it was safely landed in its
place. The mast was placed in the cradle
in which the Columbia was launched, and
it was lowered on the marine railway until
it was about half out of the shop. Then
the steamboat Archer lowered the arm of
her derrick. the purchase was securely fas-
tened. and the big spar was soon swung
clear OF the building. II was lifted high
in the air and carried across the narrow
slip ,o,swhere the Columbia's dismantled
hull was waiting, tied up at the north
wharf.
After considerable maneuvreing the heel
Of the mast was brought over the step and
it was soon lowered into place. The mast
was then stayed temporarily with lines
running fore and aft. and all hands k-ocke1
OH for breakfast. The work was superiu-
tended by Capt. Nat Herreshoff, the de-
signer The new steel mast looks to be
considerably taller than that OF the De-
fender, and is painted to initiate wood, the
color being a trife darker than the pant
on the Defenders steel mast All the steel
standing rigging was wound about the mast
when It was stepped and the spreadeFs Were
in place. They are similar to the spread
ers on the Coiumbia's pine mast, being
single sticks with no supporting crutchss,
The topmast was also in place, being
housed in the mainmast in telescope fash
ion. This new departure in topnast fasten-
ing is an original idea of Capt. Nat HERES
hon. and is most ingenious. A Steel tube
just large enough for the topmast TO move
in is let down in the malnmast for about
half its length. In this tube the topmast
is raised and lowered from the deck by
means Of flexible wire cables. which are
attached 20 the base of the topmast and
run on pulleys set into the masthead.

A HOMEMADE AFFAIR.
Firemen Experiment with an I'm
provised Water Tower.


An interesting experiment was made
yesterday afternoon on the street near the
headquarters of the Fire Department, Truck
C, under the direction of Chief Joseph
Paris, which consisted OF testing the
efficiency of the modern fire truck as a
water tower. The idea which was TO be
demonstrated by the experiment. was that
stream OF water could be thrown from
the top of the highest ladder on the truck
into window where the heat was too
great for a man to manage the hose pipe
A long line of piping was attached to the
top OF the ladder and was raised auto
matically from its bed on the track to
height of sixty feet from the ground. A
one-and- -half-inch nozzle was used for
the experiment, and aside from one or two
minor accidents it proved a success.
In raising the ladder the men came in
contact with two fire-alarm wires, and be-
fore they were aware of their proximity
the wires were broken. Linemen were i'm
mediately called and the break repaired
Commission Wight, who was an interest
ed spectator to the trial, stated that he
did not think the truck could be used with
entire satisfaction until some minor i'm
provements had been made in the manner
of attaching the host to the top of the
ladder. In all other respects the affair
was an entire success. One thing the
trial demonstrated, the Commissioner said,
was that overhead wires are a serious
menace to the firemen in their work He
referred to the breaking of the alarm
wires in the early part of the trial and
stated that he did not think machine OF
this kind could be used with any great
degree OF success where there are such
wires. Chief Paris was well pleased with
the result of the work and his men and
said he thought the ladder could be used
with entire satisfaction.
