DIDN'T SERVE HIS TIME.
JOSEPH HERRINGS Is EXPELLED
FROM GERMANY
Well Known War Correspondent,
Did Not Wear the Uniform of
the kaiser When a1Youth
in Germany.

BERLIN, Oct. SO. According to the
local newspapers, Joseph Herrings, the
we'll known German-American war cor
respondent who was present at the bat
tie of Taku, has been expelled from Prus-
STA, the grounds being evasion of military
service a number of years ago
Referring to the expulsion of Mr.. Her
rings expulsion, an official of the for
eign Office said today that the order for
his expulsion would probably be revoked
as son as Mr.. Herrings takes the steps
which he reelected to take ,
The evening papers print plain state
ments from the police to the effect that
Herrings expulsion was ordered July 5.
to take place within fourteen days after
that date. But he appealed for a pro-
longation of the time, alleging that he
required medical treatment, and the DO
lice therefore suspended the order ex-
pelling him from Prussia until Oct IT,
when the order was renewed, with four
teen days grace The police lay empha-
sis on the fact that since then Herrings
has never petitioned for prolongation
of the period of grace, nor for the an
nulment of the order of expulsion. The
Tageblatt interpretS this remark as
meaning that the police would not reject
such a petition.
The Vossische Zeitung points out that
Herrings case is not an exceptional one
since the Prussian government treats
alike all returning emigrants who have
failed to serve in the army by emigrat-
ing as minors and then returning after
acquiring a foreign nationality to take
up permanent residence in Prussia.
Some of the papers comment on Her.
rings expulsion as being harsh but the
majority record the fact without COM
menting on it.
1t is asserted that Rerrings has left
Berlin for Vienna.

SWEATING SILVER DOLLARS.
Their Weight Reduced by Use in
Electro Plating.

NEW YORK, Oct. 3O.-The New York
sub-treasury has asked the aid of the
Washington secret service bureau In
running down those persons who are re-
sponsible for the flood of lightweight
silver half-dollar and dollar pieces re-
Gently discovered in this city. The
method employed by the operators is
unique, and in effect it is similar to the
sweating of gold coins, once so COM
mon, with the addition that the silver
coins are plated. When Heightened the
coins, retaining their original appear
ance, are again placed in circulation, re-
curing a trained eye and an experienced
touch to discover that they have been
tempered with. After a bit of the wear
and tear money undergoes the coins
which have been operated upon reveal
their hghtness at once, and as result
are refused acceptance. 1t is not per-
m1sslble for the government to redeem
the coins at their face value, and, of
course, their intrinsic worth is much less
than the amount for which they have
passed current. The electroplaters. who
make speciality of silverware use bar
silver for their purpose. In place of the
crude metal, it is explained. several
smaller firms have utilized silver coins
of the half and dollar denomination and
having obtained from them a deposit of
silver upon the article which is BEING
plated, have used the money again ar
it's face value By this operation thew
gain the cost of the silver used in plat-
ing, and as coin metal is nearly pure
they are able to put a finer finish on
the goods than if honest methods we've
employed with bar metal.

sCHLEY's FIRST REPORT
Which Admiral Sampson jealousy
Refused to Transmit.


WASHINGTON, Oct 3O.-It is learned
tonight that the original and unpublished
report of Admiral Schley of the battle
of Santiago to Admiral Sampson, re-
ferred to in the proceedings before the
court of inquiry today, was of a prelim-
mary character and differed from that

mention altogether of the cruiser New
York, and that it also requested that the
latter admiral SAMPSON have the COM
handing officers or captains of the YES
sells engaged transmit to him (Schley)
their detailed accounts of the action in
order that he might write full and com
plete official report of the battle.
The suppressed preliminary report
made by Admiral Schley is dated off
Santiago, July 8, and is addressed to Ad-
miral Sampson, the commandment
of the North Atlantic station. The re-
port in substance describes the coming
out Of the Spanish fleet from the harbor
of Santiago and calls attention to the
fact that signals were made to the yes
sells of the fleet which We're obeyed by all
the ships. 1t then proceeds to describe
the fight and gives briefly the part played
in it by each of the ships, showing that
the Brooklyn, the Oregon, the Texas and
the Iowa remained in action until the
Fizcay2 went ashore and the Colon sur
rendered to the Brooklyn and the Ore
gon. The admiral commendS the BRAY
cry of all the American officers and crews
engaged in the fight, and recommends the
commanding officers for gallant and mer-
itorious conduct and for the superb hand
ling OF their ships, Then follows some
routine matter giving the Spanish losses,
the injuries to the American fleet and the
casualties. 1t then asks that Admiral
Sampson have the commanding officers
transmit to him admiral Schley) their
detailed accounts of the action in order
that he might write a full and complete
official report of the battle.

the Impact of the Fast-MOV-
ing Railroad En-
Sine.
ALL INJURED WILL RECOVER

NEW YORK. Oct. 3O.-As Henri Four
nier, the French chauffeur, was crossing
the tracks of the Long Island railroad
near West bury in an automobile, in which
five other men were seated, the ma
chine came into collision with a locomo-
tive. and disastrous results followed. All
six men We're hurt and the machine de-
.moiished. The names of those in the par
ty and the extent of their injuries are:
n. B. Fullerton, special agent of the
passenger department of the Long Island
railroad, badly cut about the head and
face and compound fracture of one leg.

Mr.. Fournier said tonight that the par
ty was on its way home to New York
VIXEN the accident occurred, having been
out all day in company with William K.
Vanderbilt Jr. in his machine, looking
for a good road, on which it was Four
nier's intention to try for the mile rec
ord tomorrow.
Il had just reached the crossing said
he, land the front wheels of my machine
were just touching the first rail, when the
locomotive doomed up, and 1 realized that
an accident was inevitable. Not having
time to reverse the power, 1 gave the
handle a quick turn, which moved the
front wheels to the right, and then the
crash came. The locomotive struck the
machine two or three inches behind the
left front wheel, throwing it around so
that the rear of the automobile was
brought against the locomotive. The first
thing 1 remember is somebody calling
and asking me if I were dead. I think
was unconscious for about a minute.
The machine was completely demolished.
1t was not one of my racing machines.
1t was of only ten horse power, very
heavy, and was built to hold six per-
sons
There is no fiagman. at the crossing,
which is hidden by buildings, but an au-
tomato bell is supposed to ring on the
approach of train. The members of
the party say it did not ring. The rail-
road people claim otherwise. Fourier,
who was handling the lever, and Overall
were thrown about fifty feet. Fullerton
and Batchelder were hurled about $50
feet, while Lewis and Gerrie were mixed
up with the wreckage of the machine.
FOxhaIl Keene, w. X. Vanderbilt Jr, and
party of ladies, who were starting for
the Meadowbrook hunt, saw the acct
dent and gave aid to the injured until a
number of physicians arrived.
FcGrnier and his companions were tax
en- in special car to the Nassau hospital
at Mineola, L. 1. Later Fourier, Ever
all and Lewis were brought to their
homes in this city. Fullerton, BatcheI-
der and Gerrie are still at the hospital,
and the surgeons say Fullerton, though
much more seriously hurt than the 9TH
ers, will recover.

knight Regarding Remarks of
Alexander Mckenzie and
Attorney Geary.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 30.-During the
examination of Attorney Samuel Knight,
in the Nome contempt case before COM
missioner Heacock today, it developed
that man named Reiss claimed to have
acted as intermediary and paid Judge
Noyes $4,000 in order to prevent the APP
pointment of receiver on an Anvil creek
claim in litigation.
Mr.. Knight said he secured an affidavit
from Reiss on behalf of his clients, pay
ing his expenses from Nome TO New York
in order that he might be a witness at
congressional inquiry into affairs at
Nome if it were decided to hold one. Mr..
Knight said that subsequently Alex NC
Kenzie and Attorney Geary denounced
Ress and a man named Heron as men
who would sign any affidavits.
Capt. French, of Company X, Seventh
infantry took the stand. He testified
that Sept. IA, 19GO the day the writs ar
rived, he, in pursuance to telegram
from Maj. Van Arsdale, called to see
Judge Noyes. The writs of supersedeas
were referred to, and Judge Neyes said
to do nothing, and directed Capt. French
not to issue any executive order. The
witness said he understood that to mean
that he was not required to carry out
the execution of the writs.
Judge Johnson was called and identi-
fed his signature to the letter sent to
Attorney Pillsbury asking hat he use
his good offices to prevent the prosecu-
ton of Attorney w. T. Hume, who made
some of the revelations in the case. This
letter was signed by MessrS. Jackson,
Johnson, Fink and Johnson. The letter
stated that the affidavit was secured
from Mr.. Hume upon the agreement that
no proceedings of any nature whatsoever,
either for contempt or criminally, would

use his kindly offices in his behalf. The
writer's said they guaranteed that Mr.
Pillsbury would take up the matter with
the attorney general of the United States
and the district attorney for the Northern
district of California and do what he
could to prevent proceedings being insti-
tuted.
Capt. French said that Judge Noyes
appeared quite embarrassed regarding
the Writs. Capt. French detailed a con-
ference at which Maj. Van Arsdale pre-
sided
The question considered was whether
the military should enforce the writs.
He said ex-Judge Dubose, Mr.. Geary
and others opposed the proposition. The
witness said Mr.. Geary declined to say
what advice he would give, but that he
expressed his belief that the writ was
invalid Mr. Dubose said he had or
would advise his clients not to obey.
Capt French then told about the arrest
of Mckenzie, and the breaking into the
vaults and the extraction of the gold
dust by the deputy marshals. He said
this was done under military protection.
Efforts to secure the keys to the safe
deposit boxes were unsuccessful.
Capt. French said he complained to
Maj. Van Arsdale that Judge Noyes had
attempted to give him a military order

At a meeting of the municipal council

nothing is known to connect them with
