the dense fog this morning, northbound
passenger train. No. 30 over the Southern
Railroad. ran into train of empty
freights travelling over the Pennsylvania
road The accident occurred at the cross
ing at st. Asaph Junction. The passen-
ger train was running at a high rate of
speed. and the dense fog prevented the
engineer from discerning the signals. He
was upon the freight train before he
could see it. The engineer at once re-
versed his lever. and greatly reduced his
speed. When the passenger struck the

crossed the track for side switch. one

ly shaken up, but no one was hurt. Traf-
flc was delayed for some time

the end of the train was struck by the
engine. thrown down the embankment.
and completely demolished. Had the car
been loaded. the engine would have prob
ably>overturned. Both the engineer and

fc resumed.

A POLICE CHIEF RESIGNS.
Albany Politicians stirred by His
Sudden Departure.

ALBANY. Oct 21.-Howard P. Foster.
the Republican chief of police. excited
much talk in political circles here Satur-
day afternoon by resigning from his Of
fee. Mayor Blessing said afterward that
he had heard Of the resignation. but de-
clined to make any comment upon it.
1t is believed. however. that Mayor
Blessing desired to appoint successor to
Mr.. Foster, and the prospective change
in the head of the police department
naturally is the subject of much talk in
the city.
u have tried to be an efficient chief of
police" said Mr.. Foster. and since
crime has decreased in Albany since
| assumed command of the police force
in January. 1900. l feel that / have been
successful
Mr. Foster was elected one of Albany
County's Assemblymen by its Republican
voters I'm 1893 and had a creditable legis-
latiye record. 1t is assumed that in view
of the near approach Of election day
when the police department officers will
have important duties to execute, an ap-
pointment of a new chief of police viii be
made the coming week.

AUTOMOBILES PAY NO LICENSE.
Attempt to Apply LAW Pending
Legislation to Compel Fees.

Major Richard Sylvester desires to Sc
cure an opinion from the courts as to
whether there is any law in the District
under which the owners of self-prOpelled
vehicles offered for public hire can be
required to pay a license fee as operators
Of public vehicles. or whether they are
subject to the regulations governing the
occupancy Of hack stands.
There is no law in force at the present
time specifically covering the licensing of
automobiles and other motor vehicles. II
is desired to ascertain whether there is
not soma other Law that may be made to
apply until Congress shall convene and
supply the deficiency.
The matter was brought to a head yes
terday when Major sylvester applied to
the Commissioners requesting that Mr..
Pugh, the Attorney for the District in the
prosecution of Police Court cases. be di-
rected to have lssued a warrant for the
arrest of J. +. Herman. The latter ad-
yertises a three-seated automobile for
hire and. Major Sylvester states. has been
occupying a position on public hack
stand
Some days ago Major Sylvester ois-
cussed the matter with Commissioner
Ross and was advised to allow Mr.. Her
man to obtain license for his automo-
bile on the payment of 80 and to permit
him to occupy a public stand upon SO
doing. subject to the regulations govern
ing other vehicles A. II. Lamb. the hack
inspector. reported back to Major Sylves-
ter that Mr.. Herman refused TO take out
the license until the necessity for his do
ing so had been iudicially determined.
The application for a warrant for Her
mans arrest was denied by Attorney
Pugh ON the ground that a similar case
is now pending in the case Of Mr.. Hcadly

Vehicle Company Major Sylvester now
asks that the case against Mr.. Headly b"

yesterday at s. for the bonds and 30 for

PORTO RICANS
AS AMERICANS
Lay Down the Law to japanese
and Win Their
Plays,

The Porto Ricans in Olaa are prov
ing good Americans and they have an
eye to the moral aspect of their sur
roundings. At one of the camps occu-
pied by these people there are number
of Japanese, who have been in the habit
of posing in the altogether on their re-
turn to work. A couple of weeks ago a
committee of Porto RicanS waited on
the japanese and told them the prac-
tice must cease while there We're women
and children in the camp. The notice
had Its effect. 1t has been the custom
with the Japanese to hoist their ma
tional flag every Sunday, and a few
weeks ago the flag went up as usual
The Porto Ricans noticed it and de-
cided that while they were on Ameri-
can soil it was not good form to have
anything but the stars and stripes over
a building. A committee called on the
japanese and stated the case; the Jap
anese sun burst came down and old
glory went up in its place.-Hilo Herald.

JUDGE ESTEE
SUSTAINED
Court of Appeals Affirms Decision
in Chinese Case Geary
Law Is Good.

The decision of the Ninth Circuit
Court of Appeals affirming the ruling
of Judge Estee directing the deporta-
ton of Chun Hoy back to China was
received by Assistant United States At
torney Dunno by yesterdays mail.
Chun Hoy was permitted to land, but
shortly afterwards a criminal informa-
ton was filed charging him with being
unlawfully within the United States.
The prisoner claimed to have been born
in Hawaii and was taken to China
seventeen years ago. The Chinese in
terpreter, Lau Sam Chau, had received
letter in connection with the landing
of this boy, and testified that he was
all right. He was afterwards suspend
ed for his connection with this case.
In the opinion written by Judge Ross
1t is held: we are unable to agree
with the counsel for appellant in their
contention that there was no basis for
the judgment of the court below On
the contrary, we think there We're sew
eral circumstances we'll calculated to
make the court distrust the claim that
the appellant was born in the Hawai-
ian Islands. In the first place Chun
Fook Is claimed to be his father, and
he it was who, on the 28th day of
May 1900, subscribed and swore to the
certificate as to his birth in Honolulu

to fill them.
Nearly all the defendants were in court
yesterday. and the proceedings at times
were exceedingly lively. Under the law
the plaintiff can recover three times the
amount of damages he shows that he has
sustained.
An effort was made by Mr. Fitch at
the opening of the trial to get a contin-
uance until Wednesday, as he said there
was prospect of settlement Mr.
Thompson agreed to the continuance, but
the Court didn't.
Whoever continues the case will have
to pay the jurors 81 each" said the
Court.

Maybe Mr.. Thompson will pay the
other eleven" suggested Judge Estee
Hardly, your Honor" returned the
