TROLLEY LINE RESPONSIBLE
Verdict of the Jury Who Investf-
gated the Newark Disaster.

Newark, N. j., March THE coro-
ner's jury that has been investigating
the Clifton avenue trolley car accident,
in which nine school children were kill
ed, returned a verdict today. They
find the North Jersey Street Railway
Company which operates the trolley
line responsible for the accident.
The jury says: 1--WE find that there
was ice and snow to the depth of two
or more inches on the trolley rails and
we find no evidence of salt or sand
having been used. We find there were
at least 120 passengers on the car.
Eight or ten of these were on the front
platform and undoubtedly interferred
with the motorman in controlling his
car. Had the rules been enforced, in
regard to keeping the front platform
clear, there might not have been an ac-
cident. We find that the North Jersey
street railway did not use modern meth
DDS to protect the public, inasmuch as
they might have placed a derailing
switch at the crossing.
1--WE find the officials of the North
Jersey Railway Company guilty Of
gross negligence and hold them respon-
sible for the accident.

ROYAL HOUSE UNPOPULAR
Socialists Using Crown Princess Epi-
sode for Political Agitation.

Dresden, March Little Prince
George, eldest son of Crown Prince
Frederick was missed from the palace
and for several hours his tutors and
the household officials were in conster-
nation. The favorite rumor was that
the Prince had been abducted by agents
of his mother, the former Crown Prin-
cess Louise; but the boy was found
praying in the Cathedral that his moth
er might return.
The socialists are using the crown
princess episode for political agitation
and the unpopularity of the Saxon mon
arch appears to have been considerably
heightened. The carriage of Princess
Mathilde, sister of the Crown Prince,
was surrounded by a crowd in Wills
druffer-Strasse, one of the principal
shopping streets of Dresden, one day
last week, and cries of: Give us our
Louise" were raised. Princess Ma
thilde was so frightened that whA the
police reached the scene she was es-
corted into a shop and eventually went
out by the rear door and took another
carriage home. Several similar incl
dents, showing the unpopularity of the
royal house, have occurred since the
agitation caused by the elopement Of
the Princess Louise, but none of them
has been mentioned in the newspapers
of Dresden.

Senate Committee Consider the
Treaty. But No Action Taken.

Washington, March THE senate
committee on foreign relations was in
session for an hour and a half today.
During the most of this time the Pan
anna canal treaty was under considera-
ton, but the committee adjourned until
Monday without taking action upon it.
The adjournment was taken in order to
accommodate Senator Money, who is a
member Of the committee and who has
been absent from the city during the
greater part of the past session on ac-
count of sickness. His condition is now
So much improved that he is returning
to Washington and expects to arrive in
time to be present at the meeting Mon
day. Senators Morgan and Bacon are
the only democratic members of the
committee present in the city, and the
republican members, conceding that the
minority party is entitled to larger rep
resentation, readily consented to the
request for a postponement. The great
er part of today's session was consum-
ed by Senator Morgan, who renewed
his plea for the amendment of the ca
nal treaty in many particulars.

DRESSER AND COMPANY FAIL
Liabilities Are About $1,25O,OOO and
About Half of This is Secured.

New York, March I'd. Leroy Dress
er, and Charles Reiss, doing business as
commission merchants under the firm
name Of Dresser and Company, 10 Green

the benefit of creditors to Charles S.
Mckenzie. Mr.. Dresser was until a few
days ago president of the Trust Com

This is the house concerning which
there have been rumors on Wall street

interests conferred yesterday in the
effort to extend assistance necessary
to save the firm, but the suspension
could not be averted. The president of
one bank consulted about the matter
said today that adjustment of the
firms affairs depended upon the willy
ingness of a relative of one of the firm
to help it through. Such assistance it
was said, was refused yesterday, but
later in the day it was thought that
it would be forthcoming and the con-
Germ saved. This was found today to
be impossible so suspension resulted.
Two million dollars in the firms pa
per is said to be outstanding. A con-
siderable amount is held in this city.

Glens Falls, N. Y, March 7-Nineteen
men are dead as a result of the cansiz-
ing of the ferry boat used by worknen
at Spler Fails, about ten miles west of
Glens Fails on the Hudson river. Over
thousand men are employed there at
present, in the construction of the DOW
er dam of Hudson River Power Com
pany. The laborers and many of the
masons are Italians who live in shanties
on the north side of the river The
main portion of the work is carried on
at present at the opposite side of the
river. The men have been in the habit
of crossing a small bridge where the
river flows through the unfinished por-
ton Of the dam. The river has been
rising for several days and the COM
pany. fearing that the bridge was un-
safe, destroyed it with dynamite. Be-
low the work, about a half mile is a
Terry. The boat is scow shaped affair,
thirty feet long and thirteen wide and
IS operated by means of cables. 1t is
large enough to carry a heavily loaded
team and heavy team and as many
as $50 men have been taken across at
one time.
SolSludy WuGu the Iu0n were D01Qg
ferrfed across, an italian boy known as
"Clgarette" became frightened and fell
overheard. He was rescued out of the
river. This morning seventy or eighty
men got aboard and the boat started.
leaving big crowd on the bank wait
ing for the next trip. When eighty feet
from the shore the water splashed
against the rail and the Italian boy who
had fallen overheard the previous day,
seized one Of the tackle ropes which ran
from the overhead cable to the stern
of the boat. Some of the men started
toward him and instantly the boat ca
reened and filled. every one being
thrown into the water.
The Hudson. swollen by the freshet
bore score or more Of the struggling
men down the stream. Many others
succeeded in catching hold of the boat
which had righted and they clung there
until pulled ashore.
The widest excitement prevailed, but
the current carried many of the men in
toward shore where they were rescued.
Teams were quickly harnessed and
loaded with skilled log drivers and sent
down along the river to points where
the bodies would be likely to land.
Dozens of dinner pals. hats and coats
were fished out, but it was nearly four
o'clock before the first body was found.
This was found in a log jam two miles
below the dam and was recognized as.
that of Fred Foran, an Italian inter-
prefer. The river for miles is being
watched and dragged in hopes of find
ing other bodies Of the victims. There
were but two or three English speak
ing men on the boat, the Italians being
all designated by number. The rolls of
the men were called and this evening
everybody had been accounted for ex-
cept sixteen men and it is certain that
these men were drowned. Those known
to be dead are Michael Kennedy, mar
ried, leaving a wife and four children;
Fred Foran, Italian boy who started the
panic; sixteen others are missing.
1t is unlikely that all the bodies will
be recovered The river is full Of logs
and at the big boom five miles down the
river there are many thousands OF
