About the time the band boys re-
turned from their breakfast, smoke
was discovered issuing from a small
room opening just off the one which
is used as a dormitory for the MEM

promptly given and by the time the
firemen arrived smoke was coming

Mr.. Smith says he talked with Motor
man Madden directly after the accident
and the latter stated that his was
going about miles an hour and that he
did not think that the carriage of the

expected that there would be no hear
ing and that the case would be post
poned. Judge JOS. Tucker was on the
bench and Madden and Kelly came in
to court at the opening at 10 o'clock.
The case was not even called, but af-
ter a conference between counsel for
the street railway men and the court
it was agreed to postpone the matter
for two weeks The bail was named in
the same sum as already had been
furnished-$5000 for Madden and $3.50
for Kelly. The counsel for the de-
pendants is Former Representative
VIM. Turtle, who is the legal advisor of
the Pittsfield Street Railway Co. When
a hearing is held, Judge Tucker. it is
believed. will not preside as he is presi-
dent of the Street Railway Co. 1t IS
thought when the case comes up again
in two weeks it will be postponed for a
second time and that the prcliminarics
before the grand jury, should the case
come up, will take SO much time the
trial will not be reached before Janu-
airy.
Mr.. Turtle. on arriving at the court
room, Thursday, said he could not dis
cuss the case. as he had not even a
chance to confer with his client. He
had read interviews with Madden and
| Kelly as published, but had no COM
ment to make.
Arrangements were perfected for re-
! moving the body of Secret Service
/ Agent Craig and it left here on the af-
ternoon train for Chicago. Hugh

companied the body. No service was
held here and TO announcement was

CITY ASKS TOO MUCH.
Pennsylvania r. r. Will Not Grant
New Works Demands.

New York, Sept. A conference be-
tween the Pennsylvania Railway, the
heads Of the city government, the
Rapid Transit Commission and COM
mission and Il committee of the board
Of aldermen was opened, Wednesday, to
arrange the agreement satisfactory to
the city and the railroad in adopting
the latter's tunnel franchise. Jacob Can
tor, president of the Manhattan
borough, insisted that the railroad
company should make an arrangement
providing for arbitration in labor
troubles, and urged that the S-hour md
prevailing rate of wages clauses should
be inserted in the franchise.
Vice President Green of the railroad
said that the Pennsylvania Railroad
would not be dictated to by the city as
TO now it should pay its men. He ad-
ded that he would not be a party to a
scheme to attract the labor vote. \
letter rror; President Cassatt of the
Pennsylvania Railroad was read in
which Mr.. Cassett said of the com
pany's attitude regarding the proposed
stipulations rs to labor:
AS far as the Pennsylvania Rail-
road has anything to do with the labor
question, it will in the future as in the
past deal justly and generously with
those directly or indirectly in its ser
vice. But the managers of the Penn
Syivania Railroad has Il responsibility
10 the public as well as duty to the
shareholders and they ought not and
cannot consent to provision in the
franchise which either has no meaning
or If it has any would deprive them of
that liberty Of action in dealing with
their employees which is essential to the
maintenance of efficient service, to the
proper conduct of their business and to
the protection and safety of the pub
lie"
Mr.. Cassatt's letter also contained the
following concerning the labor PROPOSE
ton:
The city of New York is not justi-
lied in imposing any such conditions.
It's representatives are bound to pro-
tect Its corporate interests in the agree
ment they may make with the tunnel
company, but in going beyond this and
attempting to impose condition as to
rates of wages or hours of labor to be
paid by the tunnel company or its con-.
tractors, they would obviously extend
their proper powers and functions"
The hearing went over till Sept Z.

HE DIVIDES THE BLAME.
Mr.. Barnes Thinks Driver and Motor
man Both Were Careless.

Washington Sept 4.-B. +. Barnes, as
sistant secretary to the President. ar
rived in Washington, today. Mr. Barnes
was with the Presidents party at Pitts
field, Mass. yesterday, being in the sec
ond carriage behind that occupied by the
President, Mr. Cortelyou and Governor
Crane, at the time of the accident.
Although Mr.. Barnes disclaims having
any special knowledge as to all the cir
cumstances of tie accident not shared
by many others. yet, from what he saw
sponSibility for the accident lies between
the driver of the President carriage and
the motorman, with the greater burden
upon the latter.
The trolley rold at that point. Mr.
Barnes says, is straight for some distance
and the motorman must have seen and
recognized the Presidents carriage with
its four white horses some time before
the crossing was reached, but, instead of
stopping or materially reducing his speed.
he came on at u rate that made it impos-
Shle for him to stop when he saw that
acOlliSion was imminent
The driver of the Presidents carriage,
on the other hand. could hardly have had
n clear view Of the track ut the point
of crossing. as tho Outriders on either side
might have DISTRACTED it to some extent
at least.
Among the people who gathered at the
scene Of the disaster ii was suggested
that the driver Of the Presidents car
RAG may have taken greater chances in
crossing the track than he usually would
have taken. He undoubtedly felt his i'm.
portance as the driver of the Presidents
landau and was reported to have refused
$1,000 to allow another man to take his
place for the day.
