$4,000, 900 Road Scheme.

New York, May 21.-There are indi-
cations that ]. Pierpont Morgan is 60
ing to turn his attention chiefly to
England for some time to come, says
London dispatch to the Press.
Since his arrival in England, four
weeks ago, he has been working with
tremendous zeal on his new scheme for
building an underground electric line
from the Bank of England northeast
toward Wallham abbey, at a cost of
$70,000,000. The bill authorizing the
road was thrown out by the committee
of Parliament to which it had been re-
ferred two days ago. r
1t will. however, come before Parlia-
ment again, next week, butfn another
form. and will, it is expected, 60

Mr.. Morgan is offering Inducements
to local municipal boroughs along his
proposed route. The borough council
of Hackney. have received from him an
offer to purchase 600 feet of land on
which to build public library, provid
ing the council will not oppose him in
obtaining a sit for a station in a con-
venient spot within their jurisdiction.
The proposed new line runs through
a section. part of which is now sparse
ly occupied, but it would tap large
suburban district beyond, occupied
chiefly by workmen who have gone out
into the country for cheaper rents.

ton by the officials of the Milford d
UXbridge Street Railway Co. into an
accident. last late night, which result
ed in the death of George c. Kingley
and in the serious injury of Douglass
Phillips, will be instituted at once to
determine if possible where the re-
sponsibility should be placed. Although
it was thought at first that Phillips was
fatally hurt, it was announced by the
physicians, today, that he would prob
ably recover. George F. Prince, the
motorman of the electric car which
struck the two men, collapsed after the
accident. and, today, he is under the
care of physicians.
From what could be learned, this
forenoon. Kingley and Phillips were
walking on the tracks of the Midway
branch of the railway and were pro-
ceeding to West Midway. The electric
car was travelling at a fast rate OF
speed and the men evidently did not see
it. or hear it's approach. The motor
man, Prince. did not see the objects on
the track until nearly upon them. 1t
was then too late to stop the car, al
though he did everything possible to
do so. Kingley's body was badly mutt
lated and Phillips was cut and bruised
in several places.
Kingley was a lumber dealer and
lived in Careyville. He was As years of
age and a widow and three children
survive him. Phillips is married and

ONE LIFE LOST
With Thousands of Dollars Damage by
Fire at New York.

New York, May 21.-An explosion of
five barrels of hydro-carbon in the New
York Central Railroads station at 156th
street and Sheridan avenue, today,
caused a disastrous fire and resulted in
the death of one man and the serious
injury of several others. An erroneous
report to the effect that eight men had
been burned to death was sent to po
lice headquarters, but was shortly af-
terward denied. The man who lost his
life was Joseph Careno, 80 years old,
and the seriously injured are: John
Weyler, IS years. and Leonard Stoker,
II years of age, both severely burned.
The fire spread to three gas tanks,
the machine and repair shops and sew
eral freight cars The explosions of
the gas tanks caused a great deal of
confusion and at one time it was feared
that it would be impossible to save
the hundreds of cars lying in the yards
The Twentieth Century express for
Chicago and other New York Central
trains were delayed by the fire.

THE GASOLINE EXPLODED
And Score of Curious New Workers Are
Seriously Burned.

New York, May 21.-A score or more
of persons were injured by the explos-
ion of the gasoline tank of an automo-
bile. owned by Thomas D. Dewitt,
wholesale coal dealer, today. All the
injured, among whom were police
man and three firemen were burned by
the shower of blazing gasoline which
accompanied the explosion. While sew
eEai were taken to the hospital none
was fatally hurt
The automobile was In charge of
chauffeur. who was taking it to a re-
pair shop. At 47th street near Third
avenue he found the machine on fire
from leakage from the gasoline tank
and brought it to a halt An alarm was
sent in and after vainly attempting TO
extinguish the flames with hand gren-
AIDES. the firemen turned a stream on
the blazing vehicle.
BY that time 300 or 400 people had
gathered close to the machine. The
water had scarcely been turned on
when the gasoline tank exploded. The
burning fluid from the tank scattered in
all directions and those in the front
rank of the crowd caught the full force
of it.
The scene that followed the explosion
was appalling. A score of men rolled
on the ground and shieked with pain,
women tainted and the fire was for a
moment forgotten. The firemen dropped
the hose and. running for their rubber
coats and blankets, extinguished the
burning clothing of many. The auto
mobile was totally wrecked.

THEY DIFFER.
Father Ambrose Criticizes Archbishop
Ireland of Manila Utterances.

San Francisco, Cal, May 21.-The
Rev. Father Ambrose Coleman, Do
minican priest, who is on his way to
Manila on special mission, made COM
ment. today, on the reported Remarks
of Archbishop Ireland concerning re-
ligious conditions in the Philippines.
Archbishop Ireland was quoted as
saying that Rome had left the entire
Philippine question to Mgr. Guidi and
the three American bishops who are
to go there. Father Coleman says the
entire question virtually was settled in
the recent Pontifical letter, which di
rected that the Dominican friars are
to retain control of the University of
Manila and that the bishops are in
structed to determine what parishes
are to be entrusted to the friars. There
is not word, he says, about the eX-
pulsion or elimination of any kind.
Father Coleman declares that Arch
bishop Ireland did not speak as an
but merely as a citizen, and
he (F'ather Coleman) cannot under
stand the reasons which prompted
Archbishop Ireland to make the state
ment attributed to him.

netteG to Cigar Beckwith Nelson, said
to have been cashiered from the Danish
army, an income of $500 month dur
ing the last two years, according to
Special Agent James Ford, who has
caused Nelson's arrest.

three stereotyped forms of letters-one
asking for work, another asking for
money and the third begging a personal
appointment. His plea was always the
same. Mr.. Ford says. He was a Dane
and an eX-army officer, who had been
driven to pawn his valuable jewelry
and the time for redeeming these
pledges had nearly expired.
Nelson said that it was his marriage
that cost him his place in the army.
His wife accompanied him to court
where. she declared that she. had no
knowledge that he had ever written any
such letters.
Agent Ford says that three books
containing the names of New Workers.
were found in the mans comfortably
furnished apartment.
Nelson's list of correspondents, it is
said. includes the names of George j.

CHANCE FOR A JOB.
You Can Have One in California, if You
Have the Fare.

San Francisco May 21.-Word has
been received by the California pro-
motion committee from SIS canneries in
the state that the present outlook for
assistance in canning the big fruit crop
shows that 5000 people will be required
beyond the present available labor
supply.
1t is estimated that the loss from
failure to handle the crop unless re-
iieved by immigration will reach fully
so per cent, exceeding last years loss,
which was 80 per cent.
The charge made in certain quarters
that an attempt is being made to i'm
port cheap labor to compete with union
labor is variousiy denied by the pro-
motion committee.
