THE CAR RAN INTO
THE HUDSON RIVER

Poughkeepsie, N Y, Dec. 3.-During
a snow storm here today a trolley car
became unmanageable and ran down
a steep grade into the Hudson River.
There were five passengers on the car
one of whom B. Baruth, a commercial
traveller of New York City was drown
ed. The others, County Judge S. E.
Phillips, Deputy Sheriff Baumbusch
with an insane prisoner named Oliver
whom he was conveying to the Malta
van Asylum and Theodore Van Kleeck
of Poughkeepsie escaped without inju-
~. During the excitement, Oliver, the
insane man escaped.
The car became unmanageable at the
top of a steep hill. The motorman
damned down the brakes, but owing to
the slippery tracks the wheels slid and
the car gaining momentum went
down the short grade at a ter
riffs pace passing the New York Cen
trail tracks and plunged into the
trail tracks annd plunngned into the
river. All of the passengers went down
with the car except Deputy Sheriff
Baumbusch and the conductor who
jumped from the platform while going
down the grade. The rest Of the pas

better prices. The country demand was
very good and most of the buying orders
seemed to be for long profits rather than
for scalping. The strength in st. Louis

CROKER SAYS HE'S GETTING
OLD AND WORN OUT

New York, Dec. BIN an interview
with Richard Croker the Evening Post
today quotes the Tammany leader as
saying: You won't see much leading
on my part in the future. I am getting
old and worn out, and I can't be a field
horse for everybody any longer. ad-
init that the leader of Tammany Hall
should stay in New York all the year
round and 1 can't stay here for more
than a part of the year. If I tried to
stay here all of the time 1 could do
no work at all.
"All this talk about my being state
leader and trying to dictate in national
politics is nonsense. I am in no con-
dition to do any kind Of leading but of
course I will always take deep interest
in Tammany Hall"
When asked If he was training any
body to succeed him as leader he re-
piled: "Oh, I have not come to that
yet, and I have not planned my flu
ture, except that I will go to England
in January or February. The Tam
many executive committee will meet
next month and you may hear more
Of the matter then"

is TAKEN FROM HOLD
MORE DEAD THAN ALIVE

New York, Dec. S.-When a long
shoreman dropped into the hold of the
steamer Palatia of the Hamburg
American line, yesterday, just after
she had arrived at the Hoboken docks,
he was startled to hear a weak voice
call for water. Then he heard means.
On searching he came across the
form of A man lying upon some salt
sacks. The man was dragged to the
deck and became unconscious. Tonight
he is in a Hoboken hospital with little
chance of recovery, or indeed of ever
telling his story. He is suffering from
starvation.
An investigation shows that he was
boxed up in Germany in a packing case
marked -. B. H." In the case was
found a small bottle which had con-
tanned whiskey and some crumbs of
bread. A piece of paper was found
marked John Beck" The box was
marked in German: This side up;
with care" There were no airholes in
the case and the man must have ex-
listed on what air came through the
joining Of the boards. The hatch to
this hold had not been opened from the
time the Palatia left port until today.
1t is the opinion of the investigators
that during the last of the trip the
stowaway became so frenzied that he
broke out of the box, but there was no
way for him to give the alarm.
The man was we'll dressed, evidently
German about 80 years old He had
less than a dollar in German money
in his pockets. Up to the present the
consignor or consignee of the case has
not been discovered. Yesterday and
early today an American express wag-
on called for a box marked as this
one was, and it is believed that through
this circumstance something more may
be learned of the strange affair.
The Palatia is a freighter. verv slow
and was longer than usual in making
the trip. It is believed that the man
was in his perilous position at least
Is days.

DECISION WILL PROBABLY
BE REACHED THURSDAY

Chicago, Dec. Especial States At
torney Shope, appointed by Judge
Henecy to prosecute the contempt case
against W. r. Hearst's Chicago Amer
lean, brought to a close today his ar
gument against the issuing Of a writ
of habeas corpus for the defendants by
Justice Dunno. According to Mr..
Slopes arguments, the question at is
sue is whether Judge Hanecy's oral
ruling in the gas case was final before
it was formally entered. Judge Dunno
remarked during the session: IF the
question was still pending at the time
the publication was made upon which
the contempt charge is based, it would
be calculated to intimidate any bright
man on the bench"
A decision will probably be reached
by Judge Dunno on Thursday.

Part of This Week or First of
Next
THREE WITNESSES WERE
ON THE STAND TUESDAY
All Were Intimate Friends of
Ayers and SWore They Had
Seen a Revolver in His Room
Similar to the One He Was
Killed With

Washington, Dac. 3.-The case of
Mrs. Lola Ida Bonine, on trial for the
murder of James Seymour Ayres, Jr.,
it is expected, will go to the jury the
latter part of this week.
Three witnesses, intimate friends of
Ayres, was put on the stand today and
swore that they had seen revolver
in Ayres' room. Two of them, Duncan
B. Hubbard and Thomas Ford, had
come from Michigan to testify. They
said the revolver greatly resembled the
one in evidence.
The wrapper worn by Mrs. BONNIE
on the night Of the tragedy was again
the subject of discussion. The defense
placed witnesses on the stand whose
evidence was intended to discredit that
given by Dr. Shaeffer, the government
expert, who had testified that a careful
examination of the wrapper had failed
to disclose the presence of any blood
spots thereupon.
A. e. Berklyn, a dyer and scourer
was the witness called to refute the
testimony Of DR.. Shaeffer the expert
who testified for the prosecution. He
said it was a simple operation to re-
move blood spots from garments and
that he had frequently done so in a
manner to leave no trace Of the spots.
Witness also testified to the dances,
frequently given in the hotel at which
Ayres and Mrs. Bonine were present
and about the bloody finger marks on
the curtains in Ayres room. Fred C.
Rutter testified that he had plainly no.
ticed Ayres and his companions about
midnight of the night of the tragedy
and 1t was his impression that they
were under the influence of liquor.
Carl Flatler a detective testified re-
garding the rents and tears in the
wrapper worn by Mrs. BONNIE on the
night Of the tragedy and DR.. Sterling
Ruffin detailed the various tests COM
monty employed for determining the
existence of blood stains He had ex-
amined several specimens from the
wrapper in the presence of DR.. Shaeffer
and DR.. Carroll and he had found sis
tinct evidences of blood on the wrap
per. The wrapper likewise was torn.
The witness was still on the stand
when court adjourned.
