Freshmen and SOphOmOres at Uni
cnrNifv Have Trouble.

The freshmen and sophomore engineers
at the university are apparently in a
peck of trouble among themselves, and
are endeayoring to see which one of their
banners shall be fOated from the large
10O-foot chimney Of the new electrical
building.

The ladder inside and fioated their banner
''Erg. o." The sOphomOres attempted to
90 up and pun it down; but found their
course blocked by freshmen on the IN
side Of the chimney. They Immediately
built a smudge OF tar paper and refuse
and smoked the "freshies'' out, then one
of their number mounted the chimney
and cut the banner loose.
This morning the sOphOmOres had their
banner floating from the chimney, and
about ten feet below the top. An In
genious freshman lowered a torch, sat-
Urated the banner with. kerosene and
burned it up. Then the freshmen again
climbed to the top, and this time they
succeeded in floating their banner by
means Of a chain thirty feet below the
top of the chimney, and at the present
writing the banner still waves. The
sophomores all say that the banner Shall
suffer the same fate as its predecessors.

tunnel some fifty or sixty feet under

The reason for their doing this is on
account Of the streets in the business

phone, electric light conduits and water
mains, and as the street railway condufts
carry large loads, their presence in the

He Had Told Those Above Him Of
the Complaints, but No Ac-
ton Was Taken in the
Matter.

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-The coroner's
inquest to determine the responsibility for
the death of seventeen persons in the
New York Central tunnel last week was
begun today. Coroner SchoIer presided.
District Attorney Jerome and attorneys
representing the various interests at stake
were in attendance.
The district attorney addressed the
members of the jury, saying in part: 1T
may be that there were one or more per,
sens criminally responsible for the deaths
Of the victims of this disaster. 1t Is your
duty to say whether these victims came
to their deaths through criminal negll-
gence of some person. This is your prov
lnce and If you go beyond it you yield
perhaps to public clamor and you do not
thereby aid the cause of justice"
William T. Devine, a passenger on the
New Rochelle train, testified that the
train had been standing still for about a
minute before the collision.
Policeman Patrick H. Fox said he asked
Wisker, engineer Of the White Plains
train, what had caused the accident and
Wisker replied ''there was a train pass
ing and the smoke and steam shut off
the signals"
Damaging Admissions.
Joseph H. Franklin, manager of the
Grand Central depot admitted that he
had received many complaints from train
men regarding the signal lights in the
tunnel These men had called his at
tention to the fact that on foggy days the
lights could be seen only very short
distance.
$50. especially during the winter
months in New York" District Attorney
Jerome asked, Hthere are many days on
which the signals in the tunnel can be
seen only very short distance?''
Witness admitted that this was the
case On the day of the wreck, however,
he said, he considered that conditions
were very favorable. He said that 323
schedule trains ran through the tunnel
every day.
Mr.. Franklin said he was under the
orders Of President Newman Of the New
York Central and President Hall of the
New York, New Haven & Hartford
road. He said he had spoken to them
about the tunnel lights when they had
taken him to task about trains being late.
Nothing in particular, he said, had been
done about the complaints Of the engi-
neers concerning the lights.
Answering Mr.. Jerome, Manager Frank
lin admitted that the murky morning on
which the disaster occurred was the first
time Engineer Wisker had taken a pas

Birmingham, Ala, Oct. 3.-.President
Edward Flynn, of the United Mine
Workers of America, district of Ala.
bama, stated this morning that he had
issued orders for all the miners of the
Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railway com.
pany, at the Blue Creek and Blocton
mines, to suspend work on Monday
next. About 1000 men will be in
volved which, added to the men al.
ready out in the Pratt mines division,
will make the total number of strik-
ers over 1000.
The strike grows out of the refusal
of the company to withhold assess.
ments made by the miners union for
the anthracite coal strikers from the
wages of those miners who object to
paying 1t. President Flynn says that
all miners who Object to paying the
assessment VIII be e4pelled and when
the minerV retNYfn will not be allowed
to work #ath them.
Officials, Of the miners union are
now making a canvass among the
miners of the Sloss-Sheffield Steel and

of them favor the payment Of the as.
sessment. Meanwhile the Sloss mines
are all in operation with no prospect
of immediate trouble.
