THEY RAN PAST SIGNALS.
Testimony in Inquest Shows Bad
State of Affairs.

New York, Jan. 17.-Joseph H.
Franklin, manager of the New York
Central Railroad terminal in this city
was to-day recalled as a witness in the
coroner's inquest to determine the re-
sponsibility for the recent wreck in
the company's tunnel in which II lives
were lost.
Answering District Attorney Jerome,
Franklin said there was nothing to
prevent an engineer from making a
terrible mistake" except the signals,
and that even old engineers had run
past these signals "in broad daylight" 3"
Reports of engineers were offered in
evidence. One engineer said he had
missed the distance signal, had run
by the green precautionary light, and
then had gone a whole train length
beyond the danger signal before be-
ing able to bring his train to a. stop.
The testimony of other engineers was
on similar lines.
William Kinch, superintendent of
signals for the New York Central
Railroad, said the signals worked prop
erly on the day of the wreck, and that
the disaster was due to excessive speed
and disregard of the signals by the
engineer.

MAY POSTPONE ST.LOUIS FAIR
President Francis Finds That For
eign Government Exhibits Cannot
he Secured Before 1904.

Washington, Jan. 17.-Since arriving
in Washington ex-Gov. Francis, presi-
dent of the Louisiana Purchase Expo
sition, and Adolphus Busch, chairman
of the Committee on Foreign Relations
of the Exposition, have become con-
vinced that if the Exposition is to Sc
cure a really notable collection of for
eign exhibits that will eclipse the eX-
hibits heretofore sent from European
nations to other eXpostions there must
be a postponement of the opening of
the great fair to be held at st. Louis
from 1908 to 1904. The gentlemen
named made an admission of this fact
to-day in the course of a conversation
at the White House, where they had
called to interest the President in et-
forts they are making to urge on foreign
governments the desirability of full and
complete representation at the St.
Louis Exposition. Prior to this call
they had seen a number of the min
listers and other representatives at
taChed to the foreign legations and em-
basses in Washington, and as a re-
suit, had become convinced that elab-
crate foreign exhibits could not be
counted on for an exposition in this
country IN the year l9U5. Iney ma,
for instance, that a great japanese
fair is to be given under government
auspices in 1908, and If the exposition
is postponed until 1904 everything of
interest exhibited there can be brought
to st. Louis the following year.
I'm 1903 we can make the exposition
as great as any ever given" said Gov.
Francis. but if we postpone it a year
it will surpass anything in the exposi-
tion line ever attempted. We can be
ready by 1903. but it is questionable
whether we can secure what we want
from abroad by that time"
VIII he Ready, Says GOV. Francis.
Washington, Jan. 17.-Ex-Gov.
Francis tonight in response to re-
quest from the Associated Press made
the following statement regarding re-
ports that the Louisiana Purchase Ex-
position. would be postponed from 1908
to 1904:
81 was much surprised to learn that
statement had been printed to the
effect that I had virtually admitted
that the fair would be postponed from
1903 to 1904 ! have never advocated nor
contemplated such action. on behalf
of the local company | desire to say
that it can be ready for the exposition
in 1908 and Will be ready"

Imperial Admiralty, Admiral Won Tir-
liam's personal military staff. Gen. Won
Plessen, are to accompany Prince
Henry of Prussia on the latter's visit
to the United States.
Admiral Won Seckendorff said:
"The Emperor. personally. is max
ing all the arrangements that can be
made on this side. The details as to
how Prince Henry shall spend his time
in the United States are left
to Secretary Hay and DR.. Won
Holleben, but our general idea of the
dates is this: We arrive, on the Kron
Prnz Wilhelm, Feb. %, at New York
Prince Henry will go on board the Ho-
henzollern and will stay there till the
launching of the Emperor new yacht;
We go to Washington to see the Presi-
dent and perhaps will stay there sew
eral days. Then we make the most Of
the next few days. in seeing other
cities, returning to New York for two
more days before we sail for home on
the Deutschland. March s. This general
design you see fills up about four
weeks, one in going each way and a
fortnight in the United States"
1t was suggested to Admiral Won
Seckendorff that two weeks were not
enough for the Prince to see much of
America and that he ought to spend
a longer time in the United States and
go West and South, TO which the Ad-
miral replied:
1T would be difficult for his Royal
Highness to spend a much longer time
there. though the Deutschland's sailing
can be delayed a day or two, II its
seems desirable"
